Chapter 696: Maintaining the Overall Situation

Zhu Xianxuan has not been in the capital for a long time, but the special experience has made him see the things in the court thoroughly, many small actions, he is very clear, as a vassal king, he has always been trembling, how many years, if it wasn't for Su Tiancheng to suggest that the vassal king participate in the court politics, now he is still in Taiyuan, Shanxi, living a life of drunken dreams and death.

Zhu Youzhen's ambivalence can be accurately grasped by Zhu Xianxuan.

In terms of relationship, Zhu Xianxuan should be biased towards the royal family, after all, this is the world of the Zhu family, but what happened to his father and himself made Zhu Xianxuan more biased towards Su Tiancheng, of course, this kind of partiality is not to let Su Tiancheng overthrow the Ming Dynasty as the emperor, but for Su Tiancheng's safety. Su Tiancheng's credit is too great, and the emperor can't feel at ease.

After becoming the deputy assistant of the cabinet, Zhu Xianxuan worked diligently and conscientiously to maintain the prestige of the emperor, so that the emperor could hold enough power so that the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty could not compete with the emperor, but the starting point of doing all this was to make Su Tiancheng more safe, and he would not be excluded or even killed in the future.

But all kinds of efforts still can't completely reassure the emperor, this is what Zhu Xianxuan is most worried about, once Su Tiancheng is liquidated, it is a large number of people who will be defeated, not to mention whether Daming can continue to develop steadily, he will also be implicated, from this aspect, Zhu Xianxuan also wants to protect Su Tiancheng.

Zhu Xianxuan rarely talked to Su Tiancheng about the problems in the imperial court, such as some things in the middle of the imperial history, and he was still impeaching Su Tiancheng, although Su Tiancheng was already a cabinet minister and led the army to conquer abroad. Constantly remove the danger that threatened the Ming court. In such an environment, Zhu Xianxuan felt very tired.

During the period when he served as governor of Shaanxi. It was Zhu Xianxuan's most comfortable day, regardless of the battles in the court. If you govern Shaanxi wholeheartedly, you can enter the capital and become the second assistant of the cabinet, and you will have a lot more power, but you will not be at ease.

There are still a lot of problems in the Ming Dynasty, for example, in the south, there is not much change, it is almost the same as before, which is also because of when Su Tiancheng was in the south. It's just that the magistrate of Jiangning County doesn't have much influence, and the entire south still acts according to the previous steps, plus the south has not suffered much war, and many officials are very satisfied with the status quo, and the bigger problem is that the ministers of the court. Most of them are from the south, and in many things, they naturally tend to be southern.

With the consolidation of the North over the years. The pace of development is very fast, not much worse than that of the South, while the development of the North. It is still thanks to some policies implemented by Su Tiancheng, and the most obvious performance is Shaanxi. Shaanxi used to be the birthplace of the Liukou and the place where the turmoil was most severe, and it was also one of the poorest places. But after the eradication of the Liukou, because of the implementation of the policy of benefiting the common people, the speed of development is very fast, coupled with Su Tiancheng's attention to businessmen, relying on the development of commerce and trade, to drive the development of other aspects, this kind of development path that will never be recognized by the imperial court, the effect is brilliant.

The development of Dengzhou, Laizhou and Qingzhou, Zhu Xianxuan has also heard of it, some businessmen who have traveled to Dengzhou and Beijing and other places, think that the prosperity of Dengzhou and other places even exceeds that of Beijing, the specific situation is not like this, Zhu Xianxuan did not specifically go to verify, but he believes that in such a situation, Su Tiancheng has such an ability to build Shaanxi well, not to mention Dengzhou and other places.

Su Tiancheng has made such a huge contribution, but he has always encountered suspicion, and the impeachment has not been broken, there are deep-seated reasons for this, Su Tiancheng has improved the status of businessmen, which is not tolerated by the ministers of the DPRK and China, but the most critical reason is the attitude of the emperor, as long as the emperor does not refute such behavior, there will be ministers who will continue to impeach.

Zhu Xianxuan has always considered the overall situation, the Ming Dynasty is inseparable from Su Tiancheng, and to put it mildly, without Su Tiancheng, I am afraid that no one will be able to exterminate the Houjin Tartars, conquer the grassland, and take Taiwan, it is estimated that this is also the reason, even if the emperor is full of wariness of Su Tiancheng, it is impossible to take any action.

But how long can this situation last, Zhu Xianxuan doesn't know how long he can do, and he is also full of worries.

After thinking about it for a long time, Zhu Xianxuan finally made a decision to fully inform Su Tiancheng of these circumstances, and the special relationship between him and Su Tiancheng also made him have to do this.

As for how to solve the problems, Zhu Xianxuan didn't think of a good solution, and he couldn't come up with a specific solution, he believed that after Su Tiancheng received the letter, he could come up with the best solution, Su Tiancheng had encountered so many difficulties, not all of them were overcome.

After writing the letter, Zhu Xianxuan did not send it directly, he handed the letter to Su Pingyang, he believed that Su Pingyang would be able to hand over this crucial letter to Su Tiancheng. The Jinyiwei and Dongchang Fanzi in the imperial court are very powerful, and if they don't pay attention to it, this letter falls into the hands of Jinyiwei and Dongchang Fanzi, and the problem will be troublesome.

Yang Sichang's thoughts are also very complicated, on the one hand, as the first assistant of the cabinet, the power can not be compared with the previous cabinet first assistant, which is more or less breathless, and he has worked hard to become the first assistant of the cabinet, one person is above ten thousand people, but unfortunately there is not enough power, the big things in the court, basically the emperor takes the idea, which is too different from the previous one, on the other hand, the Ming Dynasty gradually began to stabilize, so that many officials, forget the things of the previous years, thinking that the world is worry-free, Even if the Ming Dynasty was attacked and attacked from outside, there was Su Tiancheng to deal with it, and the strange thing was that these officials wanted Su Tiancheng to deal with it, but they expressed their worries about Su Tiancheng having too many troops.

This is not a good situation, in fact, the Ming Dynasty is far from the time to sit back and relax.

The life of the common people is not very good, there is no food and clothing, even if it is a rich land in the south, the life of the common people is still not good, the situation of the patrol sent out to give feedback, the people in the north, the life is stronger than that in the south, which was impossible to imagine a few years ago.

Su Tiancheng's ability, Yang Sichang is fully recognized, Yang Sichang, who is arrogant in his heart, is also happy and convinced of Su Tiancheng, he is so young, but he has established a meritorious service that ordinary people cannot establish, and he became a cabinet minister before the age of thirty, such a height, I am afraid that no second person will reach it.

But the greater the credit, the greater the problem, and history is like this, and no one can avoid it.

Some of the impeachments of the imperial court, Yang Sichang is very clear, in this matter, he is very contradictory, Su Tiancheng has some practices, he does not agree, such as let the vassal king and the prince of the vassal king enter the court, so that the children of the vassal king can participate in the imperial examination, try their best to consolidate the imperial power, etc., but Yang Sichang has to admit that the policies implemented by Su Tiancheng are all successful, and they can all promote the strength of the Ming Dynasty.

Yang Sichang is not a person with a small belly, let alone a traitor, although he does not agree with some of Su Tiancheng's practices, he will never deny Su Tiancheng's merits.

For a period of time, Yang Sichang has been thinking about having a good talk with Zhu Xianxuan.

Zhu Xianxuan's identity is very sensitive, he is Zhu Xianxin's own brother, and the relationship between him and Su Tiancheng is extraordinary, but he is also the king of Jin and the royal family of the Ming Dynasty.

After a period of observation, Yang Sichang believes that Zhu Xianxuan has a very good ability and knows how to deal with relationships.

Yang Sichang made up his mind that he must have a good talk with Zhu Xianxuan, no matter what the situation of future development is, it must be stable now, at least Su Tiancheng has worked hard and worked hard outside, but he can't affect Su Tiancheng's mood because of some bad things in the court.

Today's discussion in the Yangxin Palace, Yang Sichang felt that the nest fire, such a simple thing, why should it be discussed, the truth in this could not be simpler, the negotiation of the Houjin Tartars, grinding and chirping, always put forward such and such conditions, some conditions are simply unbearable, several times Yang Sichang has thought about terminating the negotiations, thinking that the Houjin Tartars have no sincerity, but the emperor has not expressed his position, and Yang Sichang cannot terminate the negotiations at will.

Sometimes, Yang Sichang also thought about letting Su Tiancheng return to the capital and let Hong Chengchou lead the army to conquer, but the situation that had occurred in Liaodong made Yang Sichang feel that such a decision was not very wise, Chen Xinjia served as the governor of Liaodong, and with the cooperation of Qian Qianyi, he adopted a posture of excluding the Jiangning battalion, but suffered a heavy defeat, if Su Tiancheng was still in Liaodong, such a thing would not have happened.

Empathy, Yang Sichang is very worried, Su Tiancheng has mastered all the elite troops of the Ming Dynasty, if something really happens, Su Tiancheng wants to establish himself as the king, I am afraid it will be the biggest disaster of the Ming Dynasty.

After the retreat, Yang Sichang specially went to visit Zhu Xianxuan.

The first assistant of the cabinet visits the second assistant of the cabinet, this is also a rare thing, at least it is a little inappropriate, if you want to visit, it should be Zhu Xianxuan to visit him Yang Sichang, but Yang Sichang, who is thinking about many things, can't care so much.

When he arrived at Zhu Xianxuan's mansion, Yang Sichang felt that Zhu Xianxuan did not show any special surprise, as if he knew that he was coming.

This night, the two talked about a lot of things, mainly involving Su Tiancheng, the words of the two, from the superficial aspect, gradually deepened, from the perspective of the future of the Ming Dynasty, from the perspective of taking into account the overall situation, talked about the attitude of the imperial court towards Su Tiancheng, including what kind of attitude the emperor should have.

When he left Zhu Xianxuan's mansion, Yang Sichang was a little happy, and he believed that the first assistant of the cabinet and the second assistant of the cabinet had completely unified their opinions, and many things in the future would be easy to handle.
