Tianqi put away the paperwork in front of him, and looked at Zhang Han Dao: "He Yusheng's arrangement in Guangning is indeed intentional, Qing is really a self-made wizard, and he expected the fiasco in Guangning early, so there will be such an arrangement, right?" ”

Zhang Han was stunned for a moment, but still replied: "The minister really doesn't have much confidence in Governor Wang, and with the minister's family assets, buying tens of thousands of stone grains and setting up a stockade on the mountain is actually just a matter of convenience......

Tianqi said: "Yours is convenient, 100,000 soldiers and civilians are alive." The soldiers and civilians of the Thirteen Mountains are trapped, but I am afraid that they will be slaughtered like Kaiyuan and Tieling, and the people of the world are all raised by me, and if they are killed by slaves, it is also my fault. What you have done has saved me from being ashamed of being a slave again, and the people I have lived should be grateful. ”

Speaking of this, Tianqi looked left and right, and said: "Inform the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, and give Tianchengwei the command of the capital of Jiashanxi." ”

One of the eunuchs bowed and replied, "Will." ”

Zhang Han bowed down and thanked him: "Thank you for your grace." ”

The apocalypse made Zhang Han get up and said with a smile: "I have raised all directions on behalf of the heavens, and I have contributed to the country, and I deserve to be rewarded." The imperial court is now the most important Liao matter, but the northwest can not be chaotic, the north and the east are not united, but the east is planned, I look at its ambition is not small, in the future it is inevitable that there will be a joint with the west to fake the long drive, if so, I am really worried. It is also rare that Jinqing can use his own strength to go north to defend against the real border. With Qing's own chariots and horses, it can supply grain and grass, enrich military supplies, or help the army go north, but the court has no spare strength now, and Qing can use some thought in this matter, and if he does it in the future, he can help the court. There will be grain from Ningyuan to the Thirteen Mountains next year, and there should be more vehicles and horses for backup, which is very important. ”

It turned out that the emperor was in a hurry to see Zhang Han and said this!

The Son of Heaven already knew that He Yusheng's carriage was very effective, and the Northern Captives might unite with the Eastern Captives in the future, if the imperial court had to raise troops to crusade against the Northern Prisoners, and Yusheng's carriage could provide military logistics help for the Northern Army, which was the biggest reason why Tianqi attached great importance to Zhang Han and He Yusheng.

Zhang Han said: "If the imperial court makes any moves, the minister's carriage will definitely do its best to help." ”

Tianqi said with a smile: "Your twists and turns, the most touching thing is that after you are loyal for generations, the court can rest assured of you." I have said that what you have done in Quang Ninh is exactly what you say, so I believe you. ”

Zhang Han bowed deeply, and felt convinced in his heart.

Tianqi said again: "Chamber of Commerce, business group, it is feasible in Datong, but forget it elsewhere." ”

Zhang Han said: "The minister has the order, and in the future, he will no longer set up chambers of commerce elsewhere, nor will he set up more regiments to train soldiers and horses." ”

"Soldiers are not very expensive," Tianqi muttered, "Do you have any training experience, you can write it into an excerpt after you go back." ”

Zhang Han replied yes, the emperor was speechless for a while, Zhang Han thought that he wanted to bow and withdraw, then the Emperor of the Apocalypse said: "I have a very good impression of you, there is a sentence to remind you, in recent years, the party struggle in the imperial court has been serious, and the imperial historian is still attacking political enemies when the state is in crisis, I have used the edict many times in February of the second year of the Apocalypse to remind me, but it has no effect, they form a party and blasphemy, and seem to be loyal, but in fact, they are mostly talking about chaos, I told them to study modestly and conspire with the major affairs of the sect and society, and no one listened. From now on, if there are any more false speakers and confusing things, they will not be tolerated. You are a military minister, you don't have to intervene in the affairs of the DPRK and China, let alone form a party, do you know? ”

After a while, a eunuch ordered Zhang Han to get up, and then Zhang Han saw that there was no one on the golden platform, including the officials of the Jinyi Guard, the generals of the Han Dynasty and the group of eunuchs who had already left from the side door of the palace with the emperor.

On the way back, Feng Yu, who accompanied the audience, said to Zhang Han: "The emperor sees people, unless it is a cabinet minister or a Hanlin official, even if it is a six-department official, it is ordered to quit in a few words, the governor of the five armies, as long as he is not in charge of the affairs of the government, there is no chance to see His Majesty alone, only the nobles and eunuchs can often see the emperor, even if Lord Zhang is promoted to the second rank, he is a commander from the second rank, but the emperor has been talking to you for a long time, it is really rare." ”

Zhang Han only praised the grace of heaven, and after sending off the eunuch, he returned to his room, feeling extremely tired.

Today's performance can be regarded as an easy pass, but judging from the attitude of the Apocalypse towards him, it is not a matter of what people say that the emperor values or is kind...... Tianqi is still very clear about Zhang Han's strength in Datong, and has also made restrictions, and he and Yusheng can open a branch in the future, but the formation of a chamber of commerce and the formation of a business group outside are not allowed, and Tianqi has made a clear warning to him, not allowing him to intervene in the party dispute, that is to say, Zhang Han is not allowed to use Wei Zhongxian's power to achieve greater development in the officialdom.

The emperor's attitude is very clear, for a capable minister like Zhang Han, he must be rewarded for his merits!

If you want to expand your sphere of power, you are not allowed, and if you want to climb up with the help of party struggle, you are not allowed.

Judging from the political pattern of the entire Apocalypse year, Apocalypse is really tired of the clear stream that can only talk big, and here is represented by the Donglin Party, several edicts in the second year of the Apocalypse have made it very clear that the national disaster is at the head, say something useful, and then talk nonsense, on the surface of the suggestion or impeachment, in fact, it is a party dispute, all of which are regarded as nonsense, and will be severely punished!

Judging from this trend, the main purpose of Tianqi Wei Zhongxian is to suppress the Qingliu among the civil officials, which is naturally the force dominated by the Donglin Party.

The emperor's thinking is very clear, that is, the power is in the hands of the emperor himself, appoint officials who can work hard, and severely crack down on noise...... Thinking about it this way, from the second year of the Apocalypse to the seventh year of the Apocalypse, the direction of the entire court situation is very clear.

Although Wei Zhongxian's methods were cruel and killed many officials of the Donglin Party, many of whom had good morals, but under the general purpose, a few people died in vain, what was it in the eyes of the emperor?

Locally, even if Yuan Chonghuan is a member of the Donglin Party, Tianqi has always appointed him before he made a mistake, including the attitude towards Sun Chengzong, in the eyes of Tianqi, Sun Chengzong is a good teacher who can do practical things, so he will never let this teacher return to Beijing to participate in the party struggle, and treat the Donglin Party members differently, there are some who can do practical things, or who are in high positions, such as Ye Xianggao and Han Yi, Emperor Tianqi will not sit idly by and watch Wei Zhongxian persecute them, and the more radical faction in the Donglin Party is to allow Wei Zhongxian to use cruel means to suppress, In this way, the court situation after the second year of the Apocalypse has actually been in the hands of the emperor, of course, Wei Zhongxian is the stick in the hands of the emperor, and at the same time, this stick has also gained a lot of power, and at the end of the Apocalypse, Wei Zhongxian is called nine thousand years old, and shrines are built all over the country, which is something that the emperor cannot control.

Zhang Han was thinking that if the emperor did not die in the seventh year of the Apocalypse, in a few years, I am afraid that Wei Zhongxian would not end well like Liu Jin and other predecessors.

Anyway, there is no need for Chongzhen to come out and set things right!

Until the seventh year of the Apocalypse, the strategic posture of Houjin changed from extremely favorable to very bad in the second year of the Apocalypse, and the situation was very serious both internally and externally, and later generations thought that it was the credit of a few civil officials such as Sun Chengzong, which was of course nonsense, but Zhang Han did not have a very clear consciousness before, and it was not until today that he could be sure that the next five years would be the five years when the Son of Heaven monopolized power and turned the tide!

However, Zhang Han did not feel a real threat...... The so-called end of the dynasty is not to say it, the emperor is cautious and cautious in Liao affairs, and invests great energy, so the situation has not deteriorated, and the financial use is the method of exhausting the water and fishing, even this can not guarantee the supply of military salaries for the entire nine sides, to the end of the apocalypse, the imperial court is very difficult whether the central or local finances, the people in the local area have been under excessive pressure, the whole situation seems to be stable, in fact, it is still precarious, and the emperor's control over the local area is far from being compared with the founding of the country, especially the poor governance of officials, There is also the level of the central intelligence collection has dropped to the level of no source of intelligence, even if the Apocalypse Emperor's talent is very high, it is useless, as if people are declining, from the capillaries to the internal organs have problems, even if there is a good medicine that can solve a certain aspect of the problem, the rest of the body is still inevitably going to die.

When Zhang Han came out, Xia Xiping and Li Guobin were still eating, the two of them were talking and laughing in a low voice while eating the food in the food box, neither of them thought that they still had the qualifications to be remembered and given food by the emperor, and they were also endlessly happy after being frightened, and when they saw Zhang Han, they both had some embarrassment on their faces, and they both quickly stood up.

"Let's go on, both of you." Zhang Han stood in front of the window, looked at the palace ban, and said leisurely: "I just felt that I had played against the emperor for a long time, but the two of them didn't finish their meals, and it was really a lot of heavenly power, which made people feel awe-inspiring and difficult to offend......"

……

The apocalypse soon returned to the inner court, he sat on the shoulder, that is, the soft sedan chair without a roof carried by the four people, and there were more than a dozen eunuchs in front of his head who opened the way with dust, and the color of their robes was either blue or blue, but also red and green, and in the large yellow in front of him, the color of the robes worn by the people and eunuchs in the palace was the only color embellishment.

On both sides are the personal eunuchs who serve the Son of Heaven, all of whom are serving in the Qianqing Palace, some holding spittoons, some holding incense burners, some holding fans, some holding some emergency medicines, and some people holding replacement robes...... Apocalypse has to change many robes a day, each of which is worth a lot of money, but he doesn't feel anything wrong, and it is impossible for the current Ming Dynasty to make the emperor feel that it is laborious to wear clothes, and it may be difficult for the emperor to imagine that more than ten years later, in order to reduce the expenses in the palace, the routine has changed a lot, including changing clothes every day.

After returning to the Dongnuan Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace, Tianqi changed into a set of Yanju's robes, washed his hands and face, and felt much more comfortable.
