Chapter 1018: The Emperor's Tricks

(Thank you for the empire's slanting sun and white porridge for voting for your valuable monthly ticket, and thank you for not choosing the middle route or the right to take the middle route, and the reward of the demon thief group, thank you, thank you, I look forward to the readers' big votes, thank you.) )

After the early dynasty, Zhu Xianxuan was ready to go back to work according to the usual practice, anyway, it has been so long, and the emperor has not specially summoned him, and if there is anything, he is directly discussed with Yang Sichang, the first assistant of the cabinet, which is also in line with the rules, it should be like this, only when there is a major problem, or it is necessary to make a decision, the emperor will convene the cabinet members, or the Shangshu of the six ministries, plus the imperial envoy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, but such a situation is rare.

When Yang Sichang found him, Zhu Xianxuan was still a little strange, it is said that during this time, there are no major things to discuss, and there is nothing to do in the imperial court, the situation in all parts of the Ming Dynasty is slowly improving, the overall climate is good this year, there are not many places that have encountered disasters, and the imperial court does not need to take out a lot of silver, which is specifically for relief, it is nothing more than the matter of the Golden Tartars after Su Tiancheng led the army to attack, but this matter, to be honest, there is nothing worth discussing, Everything was decided directly by Su Tiancheng.

Following Yang Sichang to the familiar Heart Nourishing Palace, Zhu Xianxuan was even more surprised, and the people who entered the Heart Nourishing Hall were Yang Sichang and him, and there were no other cabinet ministers. In the past, when there was such a situation, Zhu Xianxuan may feel happy, this is a manifestation of status, not all the ministers of the DPRK and the central government can enter the Palace of Raising the Heart, but this time, he was a little worried, in the early dynasty, there was no big thing to talk about, and the things that should be decided were decided at that time, and Yang Sichang did not convene the cabinet ministers to discuss anything.

Zhu Youzhen's face had no expression. After seeing Yang Sichang and Zhu Xianxuan coming in, he specially instructed the eunuchs, saying that there were important matters to discuss, and no other matters would be handled before noon. Zhu Youzhen's attitude shows that there are important matters to discuss. It was less than an hour in the early dynasty, and now it is not yet the middle of the day, and there is still an hour of time, what is the important matter, it takes such a long time to discuss.

Zhu Youzhen picked up a few copies of the imperial case.

"King Jin, take a look at these copies I received."

Wang Chengen, who was behind Zhu Youjian, quickly picked up the fold and walked in front of Zhu Xianxuan. handed it to Zhu Xianxuan.

Zhu Xianxuan took the fold and looked at it carefully, and soon, his face turned pale and his body trembled slightly, but he still quickly stabilized his emotions.

Zhu Xianxuan finished reading the recital, and Zhu Youzhen spoke again.

"King Jin, I have seen these twists and turns. What is your opinion. ”

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks. Lord Su's expedition to the Houjin Tartars was in accordance with the holy decree, as for the failure to report to the court in time on how to exterminate the Houjin Tartars, I am afraid that it has its own considerations, and the minister also thinks that there is something wrong, from the point of view of the battle deployment of Lord Su. It's still good, and it's possible to win. ”

After saying these words, Zhu Xianxuan's hands were already sweating.

"Your Majesty, as for the minister's private affairs, this is after the minister's careful consideration. If the decision is made, if the lord of the court is suspicious, the emperor can investigate, and if the minister does something bad, he is willing to accept the emperor's punishment. ”

Zhu Youzhen's face still had no expression.

"King Jin, I came to you today to clarify these things, I definitely don't believe in the things mentioned above, Zhu Xianxin is your sister, you still have to move around more if you have time, they are all in the capital, and they don't see each other for a long time, it's not very suitable, as for what decision should be made after Su Aiqing's expedition, I fully support it, I once issued an order asking Su Aiqing to be responsible for all the conquest matters, that is, let Su Aiqing do it."

After Zhu Youzhen finished speaking, Yang Sichang also spoke.

"Your Majesty, the ministers think that these twists and turns, you don't have to pay attention to them, Su Aiqing led the army, is conquering the Houjin Tartars, His Royal Highness the King of Jin is loyal, dedicated to the court, and even takes the initiative to avoid suspicion, at this critical moment, some adults in the court, regardless of the overall situation, make trouble out of nothing, and want to provoke contradictions, this is completely a matter of relatives and enemies."

Zhu Youzhen nodded slightly, with a smile on his face.

"What Yang Aiqing said is yes, I definitely don't believe it, I will leave these twists and turns, King Jin doesn't have any other ideas, just do things with peace of mind."

After Yang Sichang and Zhu Xianxuan left the Heart Cultivation Palace, Zhu Youzhen spoke again.

"Father-in-law, do you think the above things can be trusted?"

"Your Majesty, the slave maid thinks that there is no wind and no waves, the emperor still has to be vigilant, Master Su has a lot of power, if there are any bad ideas, it will endanger the emperor."

"Didn't you support Su Tiancheng very much before, I'm a little strange, but now, your attitude has changed for something."

"At this time and that time, the slave and maid only have the emperor in their hearts."

Zhu Youzhen nodded, Wang Chengen's loyalty, there is no doubt about it, and he also believes in Wang Chengen's judgment, which shows that the power in Su Tiancheng's hands is indeed too great.

"I believe in you, tell me, is there any way to solve it now?"

"The slave maid thinks that it is better to send a prison army, so that Su Tiancheng's actions can be restricted."

Zhu Youzhen shook his head slightly.

"This method doesn't work, even if the supervision army is sent, it is impossible to really control the Jiangning battalion, let alone monitor Su Tiancheng, doing so can only make Su Tiancheng more suspicious, now is the critical moment, Su Tiancheng led the army to meet the Houjin Tartars, more than 300,000 Houjin Tartars, the total number of soldiers that Su Tiancheng can control, the total number is only 240,000, there is still a gap between the two sides, the combat effectiveness of the Houjin Tartars, I am clear, this expedition is not easy."

"Your Majesty, since the method of sending a prison army is not feasible, the slave maid thinks that it is possible to continue to envelop him."

"Su Tiancheng is already a cabinet minister, how else do I want to be coaxed, is it difficult to let Su Tiancheng be the first assistant of the cabinet, this is definitely not possible."

Wang Chengen didn't know what to say, and in his opinion, there were only two ways.

Zhu Youzhen stood up and walked a few steps slowly.

"After this expedition, the Golden Tartars, the stakes are very high, I still have to wait, the Jiangning battalion is indeed brave, and the pressure that can be borne is also huge, I am relieved that Su Tiancheng did not protect the strength of the Jiangning battalion, judging from the twists and turns he reported, it is still the Jiangning battalion that undertakes the main offensive task, which shows that Su Tiancheng is still thinking about my Daming, but I need to see the actual situation, whether the Jiangning battalion is responsible for the main offensive task, or the Liaodong border army bears the heavy responsibility."

Zhu Youzhen said this, which made Wang Chengen a little confused, he had seen the twists and turns of impeaching Su Tiancheng and Zhu Xianxuan, and the things mentioned in it were also shocking, although there was no actual evidence, all of them were predicted, but this possibility was really presented in front of him, according to the current situation of development, it is very likely that major problems will occur, Zhao Kuangyin of the Song Dynasty is the dragon robe, and now Su Tiancheng is very similar to Zhao Kuangyin.

Wang Chengen also once considered whether to completely let Su Tiancheng leave the Jiangning camp, let Su Tiancheng stay in the capital, and the others to command the Jiangning camp. Such an investigation result made the emperor even more worried.

What is hateful is that after the golden tartar, since Huang Taiji decided to surrender, he stayed in Liaodong honestly, and the emperor here is also easy to do it, transfer Su Tiancheng directly to the capital, and break up the establishment of the Jiangning battalion, so that the problem can be completely solved, but unfortunately Huang Taiji actually set up the crown prince, isn't this a public slap in the face of the emperor.

The threat of the Houjin Tartars far exceeds that of the Liukou, the Liukou is because there is no food to eat, the reason for the rebellion, first of all, is to be able to enjoy the glory and wealth, and then to be able to grasp the power, in desperation, you can promise the Liukou, to be an official in the local area or something, maybe it can alleviate the problem, but the Houjin Tartars are completely different, their purpose is to enter the Central Plains, so that the Ming Dynasty will be overthrown, from a more realistic point of view, the combat effectiveness of the Houjin Tartars, far stronger than the Liukou.

The Houjin Tartar is the most important threat to the Ming court, and it must not be ignored.

Therefore, the emperor made a decision to immediately conquer the Houjin Tartars, which was also carefully considered, not impulsively, or for any face, only by exterminating the Houjin Tartars as soon as possible, the emperor could really deal with internal matters with peace of mind.

Southern Shi Kefa, Ma Shiying, Liu Zeqing, Zuo Liangyu and Huang Degong and others, the team led by them also began to grow slowly, these people are absolutely loyal to the imperial court, and they can also be directly controlled by the imperial court.

Today, the emperor specially summoned Zhu Xianxuan, in fact, he wanted to ring the alarm bell, this purpose, Wang Chengen understood, but the emperor said what Wang Chengen could not understand.

Seeing that Wang Chengen hadn't spoken for a long time, Zhu Youzhen spoke again.

"The Jiangning battalion faces the Houjin Tartars, there will inevitably be some vicious battles, if you want to easily exterminate the Houjin Tartars, I'm afraid it's not so easy, the Jiangning battalion is brave, the Houjin Tartars are also brave, in this case, you tell me, what kind of situation will occur, so I still have to remind Shi Kefa and the others, get ready, maybe in the later stage of the battle, they will come forward."

Zhu Youzhen said these words, Wang Chengen understood, this battle, the Jiangning battalion will definitely have major losses, as long as the Houjin Tartars are completely wiped out, the Ming Dynasty will not need such a brave army, when the time comes, the scarred Su Tiancheng will not be able to compete with the imperial court, and it is not at the mercy of it.
