Through Liu Fan's analysis, Chongzhen realized the seriousness of the matter, if Liu Fan's analysis is true, Liukou will really flow to Huguang and Sichuan and other places, it will undoubtedly be worse for the Ming Dynasty's finances that are now on the verge of bankruptcy, which is also the last thing Chongzhen wants to see.

Therefore, Chongzhen can't regret it now, and asked anxiously, "Is there any better way to besiege Jimin besides transferring troops?" You have just returned from Henan, and you know the situation there well, and you also know that Henan is empty of troops now, and the general troops of all walks of life are far away from Lu's family, Xin'an and other places, and I am afraid that by the time they arrive, the thieves will have already fled! ”

Liu Fan smiled bitterly and replied, "Your Majesty! The minister is just a local military attaché, what good way can this kind of thing be? But since His Majesty asked, the minister will tell him what he thinks. The minister suggested that His Majesty should elect a minister with outstanding ability, the governor of the military affairs of Shaanxi, Shanxi, Henan, Huguang, and Sichuan, and be fully responsible for the military affairs of the five provinces, and mobilize the generals to besiege the thieves from all walks of life. In this way, a lot of unnecessary troubles will be reduced, and it will be conducive to the coordinated operation of the general forces of all walks of life. ”

Chongzhen was very satisfied when he heard Liu Fan's suggestion, in fact, he had already had this idea, the establishment of the governors of the five provinces is still very useful, not only can strengthen the centralization of power, but also reduce the constraints to facilitate the coordination of military and political affairs in the five provinces, whether it is for the imperial court or the local government is very beneficial. It's just that the candidate makes Chongzhen quite brainy, and the governors of the five provinces have too much power, and they must be people whom Chongzhen himself fully trusts.

In fact, in Chongzhen's opinion, the best candidate is Liu Fan, compared with those civil and official groups who are greedy and only care about their own interests, Liu Fan's "in-laws" and henchmen are more trustworthy, but Liu Fan's position is too low and his prestige is not enough. It was too difficult to get the courtiers to agree to Liu Fan as the governor, so Chongzhen had to dispel this tempting idea.

Chongzhen pondered for a long time before he said to Liu Fan: "Jimin's idea coincides with me, what do you think of the candidate for the governor of the five provinces?" ”

O governor of the five provinces! Such a big official Liu Fan didn't dare to recommend it to Chongzhen casually, this is too much to do, once something goes wrong, it is far from what Liu Fan can bear now! And according to Liu Fan's knowledge of later generations, each of Chongzhen's governors of the five provinces who had a good end was either beheaded or imprisoned. Thinking of this, Liu Fan hurriedly shook his head and said, "Your Majesty thinks highly of Liu Fan!" You let me come up with ideas, it's okay to beat the side drum, I am not qualified to participate in this kind of national event! Besides, Your Majesty, you also know that I have been nesting in Shandong for the past two years, and I don't know the officials of the DPRK and the Central Committee at all! And in Shandong, except for the dead Yang Lian, Zhu Danian, I don't even have a friend who is a scholar, I don't know the ministers of the court at all, and I haven't even heard the name How to recommend it! ”

"Hahaha! It turns out that there are things you don't understand! I thought you were omniscient and omnipotent! Chongzhen smiled heartily

Liu Fan's face twitched, omniscient and omnipotent, how could he be omniscient and omnipotent if he was not an immortal, Liu Fan himself knew that he was just familiar with history, and with the help of the knowledge of later generations, he could stand on the shoulders of giants and observe problems! If you want to talk about talent, Liu Fan doesn't think that he is very powerful, if he really analyzes the problem with his own ability, he may not be as good as Chongzhen, a person who grew up in the deep palace. Liu Fan smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty! You think too highly of me! In fact, because I come from the future, my starting point is a little higher than most people now, and I have a special perspective to see the problem! ”

Chongzhen restrained his smile, patted Liu Fan's shoulder and said solemnly, "It is my luck that Jimin can come to Daming, and it is also the luck of my Daming Ziming, I am very happy to have your help." ”

Liu Fan said humbly: "Your Majesty has a reputation!" That's what I've always wanted to do. Can help Your Majesty! Helping the people of the Ming Dynasty to avoid the trampling of foreign races, isn't it my Liu Fan's luck! I don't want to go down in history, but I want to have a clear conscience! ”

"A good one who doesn't want to go down in history, but he wants to have a clear conscience!" Chongzhen exclaimed loudly

Then the two talked for a long time, and Liu Fan told Chongzhen the details of his development in Shandong. Although Chongzhen already knew everything about Liu Fan in Jiaozhou, it was still very interesting to hear Liu Fan talk about it in person.

Time passed inadvertently, and an afternoon passed in the blink of an eye. Seeing that the sky was about to darken, Liu Fan felt that it was inconvenient to stay for a long time, so he offered to leave. Chongzhen sighed, "Every time Jimin comes to see me, he always brings me good news. Every time I see Jimin, I almost forget the troubles of the court, how good it would be if the world was peaceful! Then I will be able to talk to Jimin every day! Alas! ”

Chongzhen sighed, and then said, "Since Jimin wants to go, I won't be forced to stay!" But if you're okay, come to the palace often to see me! Talk to me! The palace seems to be gorgeous and noble, but who can understand the loneliness in it? ”

Liu Fan nodded sympathetically, the height is unbearable, the emperor's position seems to be beautiful, but the price is also very large, and there is no one more alone than this. If you want to be a faint king, you can do whatever you want, don't pay attention to the things in front of and behind you, although you will be infamy, but at least you didn't live in vain. But it's really difficult to be a Ming Jun, especially like Chongzhen, when the dynasty is about to fall, it is better to be a faint monarch who eats and waits for death, and he has to turn the tide, but the country is not saved, but he put himself in, and he has worked hard all his life, and he is not as good as a small landlord, so why bother?

However, this is also the place where Liu Fan admires Chongzhen the most, it is not difficult to be a Ming monarch in the prosperous era, such as the Qin Emperor and Han Wu, they are under the shadow of their ancestors, and they accept a country with strong national strength and prosperity, and they don't need to worry about national strength and people's hearts, they just need to follow their ideal planning, as long as they don't die like Yang Guang, they will have some achievements. It's like Chongzhen was driven to the shelves, his father and brother died early, leaving behind a scarred Daming, and Chongzhen wanted to be Yao Shun to save the Ming on the verge of extinction. Poor Chongzhen some young people, as soon as they came to power, they were fooled by the Donglin Party, and the eunuchs, the emperor's minions, were cut off personally. Then he was fooled by Yuan Chonghuan's words of Pingliao in five years, and as a result, the Jianyu Yueping became more and more powerful, not to mention the money and food, and also cultivated a Liaodong group that was not controlled by Chongzhen, which exhausted the last trace of national strength of the Ming Dynasty. As a result, Chongzhen was helpless against the rogues who were ravaging the Central Plains because he had no soldiers and no food, so he could only sit and watch the thieves grow, and finally Li Zicheng broke through Beijing and hanged himself!

Therefore, Liu Fan said very happily: "Your Majesty, rest assured! I'll be here in a few days when I'm free! When the time comes, Your Majesty, don't think I'm an eyesore! (To be continued.) )
