After Sun Chengzong received Su Tiancheng's letter, he was shocked, he never imagined that the Emperor Taiji and Fan Wencheng of the Later Jin Dynasty actually stared at this matter, his worries were the same as Su Tiancheng, how did the Emperor Taiji know about the removal of the Shaanxi Weisho army by Lu Dao, such a big matter could not be kept secret, and what to talk about the victory over the Houjin.

The team escorting the middle-aged people is still on the way, but it will be a day or two, and Sun Chengzong, who has no time to think about it seriously, thinks that he will immediately ask to see the emperor, such a major matter, it is necessary to discuss countermeasures.

Before Sun Chengzong asked to see him, the emperor summoned him.

The Temple of Nourishing the Heart.

Wen Tiren, Hou Xun, Yang Sichang, Dong Chang and others stood beside them, and Zhu Youzhen on the throne had a very bad face.

After Sun Chengzong entered the Heart Cultivation Palace, a smile appeared on Zhu Youzhen's face.

"Sun Aiqing, you're old, don't stand and talk, come here, sit down."

Immediately a eunuch brought a chair with a wooden pier.

"Sun Aiqing, I have an excerpt here, you can take a look at it seriously."

The situation described in this excerpt is similar to the letter Sun Chengzong saw, but Sun Chengzong can't show it, after all, the letter Su Tiancheng wrote to him was an act in private, hoping to get his support, and Su Tiancheng also proposed a solution in the letter for his reference.

Sun Chengzong quickly finished reading the excerpt, and in this process, Wen Tiren, Yang Sichang and others did not speak.

In fact, the situation in the court is already very delicate.

Since Sun Chengzong became the deputy assistant of the cabinet, Zhu Youzhen has become more and more relied on, because of his old qualifications and old age, Sun Chengzong's prestige in the court is also unusual, and he has experienced too many things. has a deeper view of government affairs, and can often find out what is behind the matter, so the opinions and suggestions put forward are very in line with Zhu Youzhen's thoughts.

Especially in dealing with the matter of the royal family entering the imperial court as officials, Sun Chengzong handled it very sophisticatedly. There are only twelve people in the first batch, all of whom have taken up positions in the local area, which distracts everyone's attention and avoids too much discussion in the court. This arrangement once aroused dissatisfaction, believing that the vassal kings among the royal family should be arranged for higher positions.

Zhu Youzhen was originally very worried, but after such a long time, there was no turmoil, and he was very happy, although someone impeached Su Tiancheng during the period. It is even said that Su Tiancheng has different intentions, combined with the fact that the royal family entered the court as an official. Including a series of things that happened in Shaanxi, predicting that Su Tiancheng might rebel, etc., of course Zhu Youzhen would not believe these words, Zhu Youzhen had already seen the filth in the court.

Because of these circumstances. Zhu Youzhen slowly began to snub Wen Tiren.

It's not that Wen Tiren didn't do well, but Su Tiancheng's words made Zhu Youzhen fall into deep thought, there are many problems in the Ming Dynasty, and it is tinkering. It is still determined to carry out large-scale reforms, this is a choice that must be made, maintain the current status quo, fool the past, Wen Tiren is still good, but to carry out reforms, Wen Tiren is obviously not suitable.

Zhu Youzhen's heart has already begun to choose the path of reform.

The changes that have taken place in Jiangning County and Henan Province, including the rapid stabilization of Shaanxi Province, show that the reform can be carried out, first implemented in a certain place, and after showing remarkable results, it will be rolled out in an all-round way, as long as it is carried out in an orderly and gradual manner, it will be able to stabilize the situation in the Ming Dynasty.

After a period of observation, Zhu Youzhen slowly made up his mind and prepared to use Sun Chengzong as the first assistant of the cabinet.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I can't imagine it, Houjin is eyeing me, has been harassing my Daming, last year was the establishment of the Qing Dynasty, the wolf's ambition is obvious to the world, my Ming officials and people, should have worked together to fight against the Houjin, but there was such a thing, the Houjin calculated my Ming Dynasty officials, this is not an uncommon thing, but the things discussed in the court, for what leaked out of the Ming, how did the Emperor Taiji of the Houjin know, I think, such a thing, must be thoroughly investigated, you Aiqing tell me your opinion."

Wen Tiren looked at Sun Chengzong and spoke first.

"Your Majesty, the minister was also surprised when he saw this twist, he couldn't imagine that the major matters discussed by the court would be leaked out, and the minister thought that the key at present was to see if there were any spies in the court, Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, Shang Kexi and others The lessons are profound, and the ministers suggested that a thorough investigation should be carried out, and after the Houjin spies were escorted to the capital, they would be strictly interrogated to find out the spies who leaked the news."

Zhu Youzhen nodded slightly.

Seeing that Zhu Youzhen agreed with his opinion, Wen Tiren was a little happy, such a situation has not appeared for a long time, and he raised his tone.

"The minister thinks that there are not many people who know about the dismantling of the army of the Shaanxi Guard, as long as they start from here, they will definitely be able to find out the situation, and such hidden dangers must be eradicated."

Sun Chengzong's face had no expression, but he secretly sighed, Su Tiancheng is really like a god, in the letter, he analyzed all possible situations and put forward suggestions, over time, Su Tiancheng will enter the cabinet, and even become the first assistant of the cabinet, the Ming Dynasty will definitely undergo earth-shaking changes.

After Wen Tiren finished speaking, it was time for Sun Chengzong to express his opinion.

Zhu Youzhen looked at Sun Chengzong.

"Your Majesty, the minister does not agree with the method proposed by Lord Wen."

Sun Chengzong's words surprised Zhu Youzhen, and he looked at Sun Chengzong with some doubts.

"Your Majesty, what is the purpose of the Houjin Tartars, the ministers think it is killing two birds with one stone, if their instigation is successful, the army of my Ming Dynasty is unstable, causing large-scale turmoil, this is what they are most willing to see, take a step back, that is, the matter is not successful, it is detected, so what will the court do next, large-scale inventory and investigation, in this way, it will also cause turmoil, everyone in the court is in danger, and the court situation is the same as turmoil, this is the purpose of Houjin."

Wen Tiren's face was originally a little unsightly, but when he heard Sun Chengzong say this, he also fell into deep thought.

"Your Majesty, the imperial court discussed and decided on the dismantling of the army of the guard in Shaanxi, and there are indeed not many officials who know about it, and there are only a few people, but there is another aspect, presumably Lord Wen also ignored, that is, the mutual market and the abolition of the army of the guard are discussed at the same time, which involves the household department and the military department, the minister knows the road, the matter of the abolition of the army of the guard, many officials of the military department, are all aware, the two things are discussed at the same time, the minister thinks, many officials of the household department, it is also possible to know."

"In this case, the scope is very wide, the number of people involved, if you want to investigate and deal with it, it is not a simple matter, the minister estimates, large-scale investigation and punishment, it will definitely cause turmoil."

"If there is such a thing, if you don't take any measures, it won't work, the minister agrees with Su Tiancheng's analysis, in the imperial court, there is no Houjin spies, but Houjin has adopted other methods, such as clinging to the relationship, sending a large number of gold and silver treasures, etc., to obtain information."

"The minister thinks that if he gets the gold and silver treasures, he always has to use the out, and he can use the method of secret investigation, focusing on the officials of the military department and the household department, to see who has purchased the house and land, or is particularly generous, the minister suggests, such things must be investigated secretly, and can not cause any rumors, if the news is leaked again, it may not be found."

As he spoke, Sun Chengzong looked at Dong Chang.

As for the follow-up response, the minister thought that when the court discussed major matters, it should be strictly kept secret, and the scope could be appropriately narrowed, and if someone leaked it at will, it would be easy to investigate and deal with it. Of course, the minister was talking about matters that needed to be kept secret. ”

"The minister's meaning is that he doesn't want to cause turmoil in the imperial court, and he must not let Houjin's treacherous plan succeed."

"Regarding the matter of the officers of the Ningxia Guard, the minister thinks that he can be given full authority to deal with the request made by Su Tiancheng, and the request will not cause turmoil and shock."

Zhu Youzhen had a smile on his face, or Sun Chengzong was old and thought of all aspects.

After that, they all agreed with the methods proposed by Sun Chengzong, including Wen Tiren, and then they all expressed their positions, thinking that they were not thoughtful, and they still thought about it comprehensively.

Zhu Youzhen immediately demanded that Dong Chang immediately launch an investigation, and that it should be kept strictly confidential, as for Hou Jin's spies, after being escorted to the capital, they would be directly handed over to Dong Chang and secretly detained, so that no unrelated persons could know about it.

In this regard, Zhu Youzhen is still very smart, and by now, Houjin must have thought that the plan had succeeded, but he didn't know that the spies they sent had been caught, and all the plans had been exposed, so of course the court had to hide this matter.

Zhu Youzhen also thought of Su Tiancheng, and handled things very calmly, although he was calculated, the first thing that came to mind was the stability of the imperial court.

"Hou Aiqing, Yang Aiqing, I look at this mutual market matter, the matter of dismantling the army of the Shaanxi Guard, let Su Aiqing be the main one, the household department and the military department send people to Shaanxi, it is best to leave and right the waiters, quickly draw up a plan, and submit it to the cabinet, as for the filthy commanders of Ningxia Wei, let Su Aiqing deal with it, I mean that I must not be spared."

This time the discussion was very fast, Sun Chengzong suggested that Xu Eryi, the left attendant of the military department, go to Shaanxi, Xu Eryi was Su Tiancheng's teacher, and Su Tiancheng's requirements must be fully taken into account in the plan for the abolition of the guard.

After arranging these things, Zhu Youzhen's mood has become better, recently, when the imperial court discussed things, it was much faster, although there were also disputes, but on the whole, it was still able to make a decision in a short period of time, all of which were directly related to Sun Chengzong's entry into the cabinet, and it seemed that the time for Sun Chengzong to preside over the cabinet was ripe. In addition, Sun Chengzong is very old, and Zhu Youzhen's heart is even more relieved. (To be continued......)
