Chapter 17 Shuangyuan Goes to Liao
The days go by day by day, everything is going on in an orderly manner, the current early dynasty is not so irritable, after Chongzhen and Shi Fenglai mentioned the premise of abolishing which taxes, Baiguan suddenly quieted down a lot, and did not force him to abolish those taxes for the time being, so that there is a lot less fighting, Chongzhen also saves himself from worrying about this matter, but there is still something that makes Chongzhen more troubled, the content of that meeting is now known to everyone in the capital about the disarmament and reform of the Beijing camp, It is estimated that not only the whole capital is now known to the whole territory of the Ming Dynasty, Chongzhen estimates that it is the Houjin side also knows, many people are not optimistic about the reform of Emperor Chongzhen, painting cakes to satisfy hunger, looking at plums to quench thirst, some boring scribes even secretly say that Emperor Chongzhen is so ambitious, unrealistic and so on. After Chongzhen'www.biquge.info s investigation, it turned out that Shi Feng went back and forth to talk to the hundred officials about it, and then the hundred officials thought that this was a major change in the imperial court, so they copied it to the newspaper and published it in the world.
Chongzhen sat on the dragon chair, looking at the bunch of Wenchen standing below, very speechless, did these people grow up eating Xiang? He said helplessly: "In the future, all the contents of the imperial court related to military affairs will not be allowed to appear in the palace newspaper, and there will be other major changes, such as unless the cabinet and I approve together, they will not be allowed to be published!" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, an official came out and said, "Your Majesty! This is contrary to the ancestral system, the previous dynasty and even the Taizu have been implementing it since the beginning of the dynasty, if this change is afraid that it will be laughed at by the people of the world, it will damage the wisdom of His Majesty! ”
"Then we must also distinguish what information can be announced and what information cannot be announced, such as military movements, etc., this is announced, if Hou Jin's detailed work is seen, they don't know the deployment of our army, the enemy is in the dark, we are in the light, and it is my army of the Ming Dynasty that suffers!" Chongzhen said indignantly.
"My Ming army is invincible in the world! Are you still afraid of their little queen? The minister snorted coldly.
Chongzhen really wanted to blast this brainless out, but after thinking about it, he held back, and said to the four cabinets: "What do the four Aiqing think of my suggestion?"
Sun Chengzong said: "The old minister feels that His Majesty's suggestion is pertinent, and it is indeed necessary to distinguish it clearly, so that a lot of unnecessary losses can be avoided. The old minister seconded the proposal! ”
Xu Guangqi and Yuan Keli, who had just arrived in Beijing on the first day of the court, said together: "The old minister seconded the proposal!" ”
Shi Feng came to see that the other three had already seconded it, if he didn't second, it would be very isolated, but if he seconded it, the next group of ministers felt that they didn't take care of them, so they were in a dilemma, so they had to say: "The minister thinks that he can discuss and discuss again!" ”
After hearing this, Chongzhen continued to ask: "In this case, those Shangshu also made suggestions!" ”
The Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Household and the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Criminal Affairs all seconded the proposal in the end, Shi Fenglai was speechless, among the six books, the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry are also two cabinet members, and the other four are now following Your Majesty, and Your Majesty is asking in vain!
Chongzhen nodded with satisfaction, "Since this is the case, it will be implemented like this in the future." Do you still have this music? ”
At this time, Yuan Keli stood out and said, "Your Majesty! Lao Chen wants to rush to Liaodong immediately and take precautions as soon as possible! ”
"Aiqing has just arrived in the capital! Take a break! It's not too late to prepare to go to Liao again! Chongzhen said.
"The old minister has been blessed with God's grace! Go to Liao Laochen as soon as possible, there will be a crisis on the Houjin side at all times, and you can take more precautions if you arrive a day earlier! Yuan Keli said respectfully.
"In that case, is there anything else Aiqing needs my help with?" Chongzhen said with a smile.
Yuan Keli listened and hesitated: "The minister is afraid! Your Majesty said so, and the minister did have a reluctant request. ”
"It doesn't matter! Aiqing has anything to say! Chongzhen waved his hand.
"Lao Chen wants to recommend the three of them to Liao together!" Yuan Keli said.
"Oh? Who is it? Chongzhen said.
"It's the three sons of Lao Chen's comrades-in-arms, namely Shen Shouyue, Shen Shouchong, and Shen Shouyao!" Yuan Keli said.
Chongzhen was stunned for a moment and said, "Who is Aiqing's comrade-in-arms?"
At this time, Sun Chengzong spoke: "Come on, old minister!" Your Majesty! They are Shen Yourong's sons! ”
Shen Yourong?!Chongzhen was stunned and thought about it! For this person, there is a poem that is a true portrayal of him, "Carry the honorable to overlook the excitement, and the scenery is clear and the sun is dissolving."
The waves are thousands of layers turning over the earth's axis, and the wind and clouds are gossiping. The remnants of the tower are empty and fragrant grass, and there are old pines on the cliff on the spring. After the sword is from the flying general, the strong heart wants to sweep away the demons. Shen Yourong is a national hero and a famous general, and history records that Shen Yourong died of illness in 1627! It's a pity! In addition, two of these three sons were killed by the Manchus in history, and one was killed by Li Zicheng, full of loyalty!
Chongzhen nodded and said, "What does the teacher think of these three sons?" "Although I know that these three people are good in history, they will not be recorded in history.
Sun Chengzong nodded and said, "Tiger father has no dog!" ”
"What do the other Aiqing think?" Chongzhen Road.
"The ministers seconded it!" Everyone replied, many people were thinking, anyway, in that place in Liaodong, whoever wants to go can go, at will, no matter who goes, they basically second, as long as they don't go by themselves.
"In that case, let's call them guerrillas! Learn from Yuan Aiqing! Chongzhen smiled.
"Your Majesty, Old Minister!" Yuan Keli said gratefully. At the same time, I said in my heart, old comrade-in-arms! That's all I can do, and I hope you have a spirit in the sky, and let your tigers create brilliance for me and for me! (Note!) Shen Yourong has eight sons, and there are only these three on record! I can only recommend three, and I don't know if Yuan Keli and Shen Yourong are comrades-in-arms, but they have been on the battlefield together, and the relationship should be good! This can only set up such a plot here, and it can't be so sad as in history after Zhongliang. )
"Aiqing is dedicated to my Daming, it doesn't have to be like this!" Chongzhen said happily.
After that, the ministers had nothing to do, Chongzhen announced his retirement from the court, and was ready to go to the Qianqing Palace, temporarily ordered Sun Chengzong and Yuan Keli to follow, and said to Wang Chengen: "Xuan Yuan Chonghuan is here!" ”
"The old slave will do it!" As he spoke, he went to Xuan Yuan Chonghuan.
Yuan Chenghuan has been in Beijing for a few days, of course, as Chongzhen expected, he first went to visit Sun Chengzong, and Sun Chengzong also conveyed Chongzhen's words, although on the surface Yuan Chonghuan promised very well, saying that he would study hard, but he was still a little uncomfortable in his heart, and felt that Emperor Chongzhen looked down on him, could it be that his Ning Yuan and Ning Jin Dajie were decorations? Who has such a record in Daming today? And it's been a few days since he arrived in Beijing, and he hasn't seen the emperor summon him, so he's even more angry!
After calming down, Yuan Chonghuan entered the hall to face the saint: "Minister Yuan Chonghuan see Your Majesty!" Long live our emperor! Banzai! Hooray! ”
Chongzhen looked at Yuan Chonghuan and knew that he must be a little unhappy in his heart, so he secretly shook his head and said, "Aiqing is flat!" ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Throne!" Chongzhen said with a smile.
Soon Yuan Chonghuan sat down, and Chongzhen said: "Do you think Aiqing is a little overkill to Aiqing?"
"Don't dare!" Yuan Chonghuan said
"That's it! If I make you the governor of Jiliao and fully support Aiqing, then how long will Aiqing be able to pacify Liao? Chongzhen asked with a smile.
Yuan Chonghuan thought for a while and said, "It will take five years for the minister to level Liao!" ”
Yuan Keli and Sun Chengzong, who were sitting on the side, shook their heads secretly when they heard this, Chongzhen didn't speak directly, and turned his head to look at Sun Chengzong and Yuan Keli and said, "What do you two Aiqing think?" ”
The two looked at each other, and in the end, it was Yuan Keli who spoke, after all, he was Yuan Chonghuan's boss, "It's good that the elements have such ambitions, but don't underestimate the enemy!" ”
Chongzhen waved his hand and said, "What does Aiqing think?" Then I ask you, these five years Pingliao? How to level Liao? ”
Yuan Chonghuan was speechless for a while, saying that in five years Pingliao just wanted His Majesty the Emperor not to underestimate himself, this really has a plan and really can't say it at once, after all, Houjin is not a cat or a dog, Chongzhen saw Yuan Chonghuan's danger, so he said: "Aiqing is dedicated to my Ming and has such an ambition and determination to be Pingliao!" I am very pleased, but I feel that there are some aspects of Aiqing that I feel still need to be honed! Yuan Aiqing I think is your best teacher! I hope the two of you will work together to help me set foot in Liaodong! ”
Yuan Keli and Yuan Chonghuan said at the same time: "The ministers must do their best to serve Your Majesty!" Serve the Ming! ”
Chongzhen nodded and said, "Elemental Aiqing!" It's still like what Mr. Sun conveyed to you before, and there will be a chance for you to be alone and show your majesty in the future, don't let me down! ”
"Your Majesty, rest assured! Your Majesty will be satisfied! Yuan Chonghuan said loudly.
"So good! I will see you off when you depart! Don't put it off! Chongzhen said happily.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The two said at the same time.
"Teacher! But are there any other precautions to tell the two Aiqing? Chongzhen said suddenly.
"Back to Your Majesty! The old minister had already discussed it with them before! Sun Chengzong said.
"So good! Then Aiqing went back to prepare! If you have any needs, you can talk to me, and do it boldly in Liaodong! There is me in the court to support you, don't worry! Chongzhen said.
After that, the three of them bowed respectfully and then retired, and after a while, Chongzhen personally sent Yuan Keli and Yuan Chonghuan out of the capital, and then Jin's nightmare began.
