"Here you are, then, what about the Prince?"

Transferred to a secluded place with Li Gong, Sun Chuanting just asked the prince about his behavior, and at this moment, he couldn't care about maintaining his image as a strict and resolute minister.

"The master has now arrived in Huai'an, and he is inspecting the chief military officer Liu Zeqing......

"Check him?"

Without waiting for Li Gong to finish speaking, Sun Chuanting lost his voice and said: "This person is fierce, he has done all kinds of rebellious things, what is the master going to do with him?" ”

"It's just that he can't make a fuss, so let's go and see."

Zhu Cihong's idea of beating Liu Zeqing was made on the ship, among the four towns in Jiangbei, Huang Degong is still loyal, although he is domineering, but he is still a loyal and strong vassal available, and Gao Jie has Sun Chuanting here, Liu Liangzuo is far away, and it is difficult to plan for emergencies, only Liu Zeqing's strength is not strong, and the garrison in Huai'an is boiling...... Of course, the four towns are not good birds in this regard, but Liu Zeqing is particularly excessive.

"This ......" heard that the crown prince was safe, Sun Chuanting was very excited, as a minister of the dynasty, of course he understood that the hearts of the people have changed greatly, many officials and ordinary people feel that the Ming Dynasty is already twilight, and the fall is just around the corner, if there is an heir who has no doubts about the legal system, everything will be better, if it is like now, all parties are ready to move, they are all thinking about supporting their favorite candidates, the feudal towns are thinking about wealth and nobility, and regard the Son of Heaven as a protégé, even if it is a minister like Shi Kefa, it is not much stronger, First they were the first to be at both ends, and then they openly said that they wanted to hold the newly established emperor hostage, and all government affairs were under the control of their "gentlemen".

Isn't this a statement?

Up to now, although Sun Chuanting himself is also a member of the civil system, he also feels that the major events of this dynasty are all bad in his own hands.

Although the crown prince successfully escaped, he also went through hardships and hardships, but as soon as he arrived in the south, he was busy integrating the strong domain, although Sun Chuanting did not know what the prince's intentions were, but he also knew the danger.

He shook his head unconsciously and said: "It is also very unwise for the prince not to go straight to Nanjing and take over the power!" ”

He is depressed, where does he look like a minister who is known for his uprightness and toughness? Now that he is directly criticizing the crown prince, he has recovered a little bit of the demeanor of the former inspector.

"Hehe, what a big deal is going to Nanjing?" Li Gong replied with a smile: "The fleet carrying the emperor has gone straight into the Yangtze River, and it will arrive at the Shuixi Gate of the Southern Capital within a day or two, and the Holy Driver will go straight to the Southern Capital, who else will take over the power?" ”

"What?"

Sun Chuanting was shocked, and his eyes were full of disbelief. As a famous minister and important minister of Chongzhen, he was too familiar with the emperor's surname, when he was in the army, although he and Hong Chengchou were both civilian officials and held heavy power, those military attachés below the general lieutenant general saw that they were trembling and did not even dare to breathe, but they themselves knew in their hearts that everything they had could be taken back by the unpredictable emperor at any time...... The emperor appoints ministers, very arbitrarily, and his mind changes too quickly, it is likely that a few words of the eunuch, or a certain thing to do not meet his wishes, the emperor can be dismissed before the army, and the king will be arrested and imprisoned...... So once someone passed on the decree, he and Hong Chengchou were terrified, lest they hear the emperor's reproachful words...... Of course, in fact, Sun Chuanting was also innocently wronged and imprisoned, which also increased his understanding of Chongzhen, this emperor, the surname is too anxious and too serious, and too resolute, he will never compromise, saying that the emperor can escape, which really makes him feel unbelievable.

"The emperor didn't leave at first, but then the master killed him and fought hard with the thief several times before he rescued the emperor." When it came to this, Li Gong was also very proud.

Whether it is in Tianjin or on the ship, Chongzhen has already spoken several times, and will delegate power to the crown prince in the future, although it is not in the name of supervising the country, but the crown prince can intervene in the political affairs, and can formally form an army, and even add the post of generalissimo to the crown prince, and the crown prince will lead the troops in front of the enemy.

After all, this time it was successful, Zhu Cihong's military talent was the most dazzling, and the entire accompanying central ministers had no objection to this kind of decision, from top to bottom, they all felt that with the prince leading the army, maybe the great cause of Zhongxing was more promising.

Of course, Sun Chuanting couldn't know the inside story here, so the two had to talk while walking, and when they returned to the superintendent's yamen, they could be considered to have roughly finished the trip.

"This is really God bless me...... "Sun Chuanting increased his forehead with his hand, and the expression on his face was also very complicated. With such a dramatic experience, of course, the officials who fled north and south cannot be counted, and the fierce battles along the way between Chaoyangmen and Tianjin, I am afraid that only the parties concerned can understand the danger and luck.

"It's not over yet!" Li Gong said categorically: "The master sent the standard to this point, and listen to the master's moderation." Speaking of this, he smiled slightly and said, "Gao Jie secretly contacted Ma Shiying, Huang Degong and others, does the Inspector know?" ”

"Of course I do." Sun Chuanting smiled and said: "The whereabouts of the emperor and the crown prince and the princes were unknown before, and of course the old man let them make trouble, anyway, I have already written to Shi Daolin and asked him to remember the Lun Changgang discipline, but if people don't take it to heart, I can't do anything." ”

"Don't believe it," Li Gong shook his head and said, "My lord is really at a loss?" ”

Gao Jie refuses to meet Sun Chuanting now, and stays in the camp with heavy troops, which is to prevent Sun Chuanting. At that time, Sun Chuanting issued an edict to Shang Fangjian to behead the general He Renlong in front of the army, and a head cleaned up the military discipline of the Qin army neatly.

But after this incident, these generals also have their own thoughts, there is no way in peacetime, to the current situation, Gao Jie has the strongest soldiers and horses except Zuo Liangyu, becoming the head of the strong domain, and to be honest, Zuo Liangyu's elite soldiers lost clean after the first battle in Zhuxian Town, although they are now claimed to have millions, in fact, they are all rabble, and if they really fight, who wins and who loses is not necessarily!

With a heavy army in hand, he has already ignored the authority of the court, and it is of course extremely difficult to deal with such a person.

However, Sun Chuanting's face was expressionless, and he only said: "There are two things, I want to ask them clearly." ”

Li Gong said with a smile: "My lord, please say it directly, as long as you know it, you will definitely know everything, and you will say everything, please rest assured." ”

"Okay, first, what does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince think of Gao Jie's department?"

Since he knew that the prince was going to form his own six-rate personal army, whether he wanted to annex the soldiers and horses of these towns in the south and north of the Yangtze River, Sun Chuanting had to think about it more and ask more.

"His Royal Highness's personal soldiers are elite, and they will be selected from the peasant children in the Xu Huai area, and the number will not be too many for the time being." Li Gong understood and immediately replied: "Therefore, Gao Jie's department will still be under the command of adults in the future." ”

"So, what about Gao Jie himself?"

"This person is fierce and slippery, very unbearable, but he has a deep hatred with the Li thief, if the Governor can subdue him, he might as well continue to use it, if he can't, then he might as well be beheaded in front of the army to enforce military discipline."

"Okay, I know."

In an instant, Sun Chuanting's face glowed, and his eyes also showed a very shrewd and decisive look, Rao is Li Gong has been following Zhu Cihong for a long time, and seeing this Sun Chuanting so bright, he couldn't help but be taken aback for a while.

"The strange prince attaches great importance to this person, saying that the country can lead troops, soothe the people, and govern the pacification of the place, for the time being, there is only this one left, and said that this person has no tough surname, and the heart surname is easy to rise and fall, and now it seems that what the prince sees is like a god!"

Li Gong was horrified in his heart, but Sun Chuanting had already laughed loudly, looked at Li Gong, and laughed: "You can hurry back to the prince's side to overthrow, just say that the minister Sun Chuanting will receive His Royal Highness's order, and the matter of Xuzhou will no longer worry the prince!" ”

"Is the boss already in his heart?"

Seeing that he was so confident, Li Gong was a little uneasy, after all, Gao Jie was very arrogant and domineering, and he no longer took the court and Sun Chuanting in his eyes, and in the recent past, Sun Chuanting has done limited things except for sending the governor to the north to bluff, there is a group of thousands of thieves, the leader is called Cheng Jikong, attacking the state and county near Xuzhou, and it is still Li Zicheng's subordinates, Sun Chuanting and Gao Jie are angry with each other, and no one pays attention to it, just rely on this group of thieves to make trouble, several things add up, It also made Sun Chuanting's reputation in the southern capital gradually wither, and he was not taken seriously.

"Hmph, the old man is just forbearing, look at the style, now the emperor and the prince are safe, what else can I say?" In an instant, Sun Chuanting was also crazy, his eyes were also full of lust, and in his words, there was a faint voice of gold and stone: "Is it really an old man who can't take care of a martial artist and a few thieves?" ”

Li Gong understands that the emperor is safe, as if the backbone is still there, and the crown prince is trusted, which means that Sun Chuanting's own future is guaranteed.

"Okay," Li Gong saluted and said, "Then the mark will be turned back immediately, and he will return to the crown prince." ”

"Although the general is still cold at this time, after His Royal Highness builds the sixth rate, he must be the main general of one party, and he must be cautious when he goes back and forth."

"Yes," Li Gong said very calmly, "If His Royal Highness has an appointment, the courtiers will not resign...... Recently, there have been frequent movements in the southern capital and the feudal towns, which is very weird, if I want to ask the boss to take any measures, one must be stable, the second must be ruthless, and the third must be fast! ”

"The old man saves."

"Then, mark down and say goodbye to your lordship."

Li Gong turned around and walked, and when he turned around and walked out of the corner gate, he glanced back, but saw Sun Chuanting walking in the courtyard, his face was still full of arrogance, he pursed his lips and smiled, but he quickly accepted his smile...... The crown prince is on his side, but he doesn't know what the situation is now? He needs to hurry back, between Xu and Huai, the night is coming, Li Gong is worried, and he doesn't want to delay for a moment.
