Chapter 734: The Speaker Is Not Guilty
Gao Di was already dying, and he trembled out of the class and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that only by sending troops to rescue Master Hong is the top priority. ”
Chongzhen stopped crying and asked, "Elder Ge has a good plan to teach me." ”
Gao Di is old and refined, already over 70 years old, the changes in the imperial court are in his eyes, he has also been to the "Nanming" territory to investigate, and has seen the political communication and prosperity there.
He clearly realized that the Ming Dynasty had accumulated a lot of difficulties, and the king of the south would eventually reign in the world, and he had long warned the two promising sons-in-law, Gao Zhizhi and Gao Zhiyong, so that they should not look ahead and backward, and just think about the king of the south everywhere.
Gao Di looked at the emperor whose tears had not dried, and said quietly: "Your Majesty, can the Ming Dynasty still raise more than 130,000 troops from Liaodong with Lord Ruhong?" Hong Jingluo's more than 130,000 horses and nearly 20,000 elite soldiers in Ningyuan and Nekharkha are all unbearable for a battle, and then go to Songshan to relieve the siege of less than 150,000 strong troops, is there any hope? ”
This sentence stabbed Chongzhen's heart again, and the emperor came from it again and cried silently.
Why is this child crying again, Lao Gaodi looked at the young emperor, and remembered that King Nan, who was about the same age as Chongzhen, pointed out the chic of the country and the mountains, and sighed.
Xin said: "The situation in the Ming Dynasty is so erosive that it is really difficult for the emperor, and now only the eloquent King of the South can turn things around." ”
He comforted: "Your Majesty, don't cry, don't be in a hurry, the old minister still has the following." ”
It turned out that Gao Di had a countermeasure, Chongzhen hurriedly stopped his sadness and urged: "Elder Ge, hurry, please speak!" ”
"Now the only way to ask the king of the south to go north, the king of the south has a saying: Da Ming, 'Nan Ming' is a brother of flesh and blood, smashing bones and connecting tendons, now Da Ming is in trouble, His Majesty asks for help, and the king of the south will definitely help."
Thousands of miles to "Nanming" for help, Chongzhen didn't expect it, he wondered: "But, but, Nanwang is thousands of miles away, Songshan is imminent, and it is difficult to quench the thirst of the distant water!" ”
Gao Di said firmly: "As long as Nanwang is willing to make a move, what if Daming loses Songshan, Hong Chengchou is missing, and tens of thousands of elite soldiers can't come back?" I'm afraid that King Nan, who wants to avenge the country's hatred and family hatred, will kill Jiannu to the point that he will not be left behind, right? ”
When the ministers of the court and the central government heard Gao Di talk about the killing of Jiannu by the king of the south, everyone's eyes lit up, and the "buzzing" discussion became louder and louder.
Wang Zhichen came out of the class and said: "Your Majesty, the minister seconded the proposal, the king of the south put the old nest of Jiannu more than ten years ago, and killed the eight banners in Shenyang Weili to ten rooms and nine empty, this time again, the number of troops has increased tenfold, and it is only a matter of time before Jiannu is wiped out." ”
Wang Chengen handed the emperor a sweat towel and whispered: "Your Majesty, don't be impatient, I still have the 'Southern Ming' strong domain, and the 'God of War' Xiongshi, and the provocation of the Dongnu jumping beam is purely self-defeating." ”
The emperor felt a little more comfortable, took the sweat towel and wiped the corners of his eyes, and said to the ministers: "Ladies and gentlemen, the king of the south is now attacking in Siam, Lancang and other countries, and the war is not over, will he send troops to Liaodong to help me at this time?" ”
Gao Di said: "Your Majesty, the old minister can guarantee that the King of the South will not sit idly by and watch the Ming Dynasty be beaten by Dongnu, as long as Your Majesty sincerely asks for help, the 'God of War' Xiongshi will return to Liaodong to give Jiannu a blow." ”
"Very good, very good, of course I sincerely invite the king of the south to go north to Liaodong, Gao Aiqing thinks it is best to send someone to envoy 'Nanming'?"
Zhang Fengyi, who had already entered the cabinet, saw that the emperor did not have any promises and was ready to invite "Nanming" to help, which was too unkind.
He asked: "Why did the king of the south stand up for the Ming Dynasty?" Is it just revenge? The minister thought that His Majesty should also be gracious to the King of the South so that the soldiers of the 'Nanming' would be willing to go to Liaodong for a bloody battle. ”
The discussion started again, how much food does it take to ask Nanwang to transfer troops for thousands of miles, some household officials are already giving science to their colleagues, and the final figure is staggering, this is only based on the calculation of Nanwang's dispatch of 150,000 horses.
Fu Shuxun, the secretary of the household department who has just taken office, said: "Your Majesty, the household department is now smashing pots and selling iron, and there is no money and food at all, and with the standard of double pay for the 'God of War' soldiers, the southern king needs nearly 10 million taels of silver to dispatch 150,000 troops for a single military salary. ”
The emperor and the ministers understood what Hubu Shangshu said, and the imperial court definitely did not have the ability to come up with tens of millions of taels of military expenses, so how to negotiate with the king of the south needed to think of other ways.
The ministers began to discuss again, some proposed to make IOUs as last time, some proposed to find a way to give a part of it first, and some even proposed whether to lease some places in the south for Nanwang to operate for several decades, and then use the taxes of these places to offset Nanwang's military .......
Liang Tingdong saw that the opportunity had come, and he hurriedly went out of class and said: "Not long ago, there was a rumor in the market, it was rumored that His Majesty wanted to marry Princess Kunxing to the 'King of the South' as a concubine, I don't know if there was such a thing, Your Majesty treated the King of the South so well, presumably the King of the South waved his army to Liaodong to fight a decisive battle to build slaves. ”
Wu Xiang jumped out and stroked his palms and laughed: "So very good, 'Nanming' Daming and pro-benefit the country and the people, the minister is willing to protect the media and send the envoy 'Nanming'." ”
Zhu Chunchen, the Duke of Chengguo, also came out and said: "The old minister is also willing to protect the media, and he can promote this good marriage, and the soldiers of the 'God of War' will go north to Liaodong and become more famous." ”
Seeing that the discussion of state affairs had turned into a discussion about the marriage of the princess, and that it was marrying her brother-in-law, the British public Zhang Zhi stared at Liang Tingdong, the initiator, as if he wanted to bite him.
Liang Tingdong smiled dryly and deliberately did not look at Zhang Zhiji, and he didn't care at all.
The ministers suddenly felt like they had been drugged, and they were all discussing, if this thing is done, Da Ming and "Nan Ming" are really indistinguishable from you, and the son-in-law can let him pay for his own expenses if he helps his father-in-law drive away foreign enemies! It is not impossible for the father-in-law to be cheeky and laugh at the filial piety of his son-in-law!
What kind of market rumors are completely rumors spread by Wu Xiang, the purpose is to test the emperor's attitude, Liang Tingdong knows it, he is the first to propose, regardless of whether the emperor agrees or not, the king of Nan should also leave a good impression when he learns about it.
The speaker is not guilty, he will not step down because of a sentence, but it is possible that because of a sentence Jane in the emperor's heart, the "emperor" here certainly does not refer to Chongzhen, so he doesn't do such a small investment and big deals, I am really sorry for Liang Tingdong's high IQ that he has been training in officialdom for a long time.
Chongzhen had never heard of such a so-called market rumor, and the cabinet minister Liang Tingdong said it, and the two nobles jumped out and were willing to protect the media, and the emperor was stunned for a while.
Chongzhen didn't say anything, and suddenly his head was short-circuited, and he felt dizzy, and the emperor announced that he would renegotiate the dynasty and hurriedly returned to the harem to see Queen Zhou.
