"Old man Sun, I've worked hard for you this time," looking at Sun Chuanting's face that was obviously haggard compared to a few days ago, Cao Yue said with a smile: "With you in the court, it's really reassuring, you take care of everything, and don't worry about me." You, the head of the cabinet, are really competent, and you are really the right person to take on this position!"

"Stinky boy, throw everything to me, this old man, you are good, you hide in Yanziji every day to enjoy Qingfu, and you don't come to ask about the court, if there is anything to do, you only send someone over to pass the word, as soon as you give orders, we who have a higher official position than you, we have to work tirelessly," Sun Chuanting took a sip of wine, and shouted at Cao Yue with resentment: "I, the first minister, have also become your followers!"

"Old man Sun, don't say that, revolutionary work ...... Eh, that person who does things for the revival of the Ming Dynasty does not distinguish between high and low, why do you complain so much? Cao Yue still looked at Sun Chuanting with a grin, "Now that you are the first auxiliary minister, you have the final say on the affairs of the Ming Dynasty, are you still not satisfied?" Do you still want to be thrown into prison by the emperor as before, and eat glutinous meals in a dark prison? If you want, I can also satisfy your wishes and let you go to prison to enjoy pure happiness!"

"Go, go!" Sun Chuanting snorted angrily at Cao Yue, "Don't think that now that you have the army in control, you can control the fate of my old man, believe it or not, when the old man will find a way to remove you from the position of the governor, hum!" Don't think that the old man doesn't understand military affairs, Lao Tzu has fought a lot more battles than you, and he can still manage the army without you!"

"Old man Sun, don't be stinky, who was defeated by Li Zicheng some time ago? The tens of thousands of elites I handed over to you were almost all lost, I really blushed for you," Cao Yue looked at Sun Chuanting, who was blushing because he had drunk too much wine, with a contemptuous look, and sneered: "If I hadn't interceded for you, maybe your head would have been cut off." ”

"Oh, stinky boy. Do you still think of yourself as my savior? After Sun Chuanting finished speaking, he took a sip of wine, but he was choked and coughed repeatedly. Seeing Sun Chuanting's embarrassed appearance, Cao Yue had to step forward to beat his back, "Old man Sun, don't be reckless if you can't drink enough, you will be choked to death, and Daming will lose its pillar!"

"You also know that the old man is the pillar of the Ming Dynasty?"

"Why not? If I don't think you're capable, then how can I protect you to the death. And how did you put you in the position of first and auxiliary minister of the cabinet? ”

"Okay, stinky boy, don't say these fake words," Sun Chuanting finally stopped coughing, wiped the wine stains from the corners of his mouth, and asked Cao Yue seriously: "You are going to lead the army to the Northern Expedition, what should Zuo Liangyu do?" He has hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in his hands!"

"Old man Sun, I came to you today just to talk about this!" Cao Yue sat down beside Sun Chuanting. He also said seriously: "I want to leave this matter to you to solve." ”

"Oh?!" Sun Chuanting raised his gray eyebrows and asked with some surprise, "How do you want me to solve it?" ”

"The strength of the two guards divisions of the Nanjing garrison is not moving, I will lead the army to the northern expedition to take away a total of five guards divisions from the first, third to sixth, and the other three guards divisions will be handed over to you for command. If Zuo Liangyu dares to act rashly, take advantage of the Northern Expedition of our army to do something, or even lead the troops to rebel, then you will lead these tens of thousands of Ma Xi to quell the rebellion!" Such an arrangement. Cao Yue didn't tell Sun Chuanting before, but when he entered Beijing today, he came to confess to Old Man Sun.

Seeing that Cao Yue had already made arrangements. Sun Chuanting was greatly pleased, but still asked quietly: "The three guard divisions have 60,000 horses, Zuo Liangyu is known as 800,000 horses, do you think you can defeat his 800,000 horses with 60,000 horses?" ”

"Zuo Liangyu's 800,000 horses are just a rabble, and the numbers must be greatly exaggerated, the actual 300,000 horses are already very good, even if there are 300,000 horses, there are only tens of thousands of people who really have combat effectiveness. Our 60,000 horses are well-equipped and have outstanding combat effectiveness, as long as we don't make mistakes in command, with Zuo Liangyu's hundreds of thousands of rabble, how can we get the elite Ming Guards New Army? Old man Sun, don't forget, there are tens of thousands of horses and horses of the Red Lady who are under the command of the imperial court, and the Red Lady has made Zuo Liangyu suffer a lot during this time. If he dares to make trouble, we will be attacked on both sides, and these hundreds of thousands of rabble will surely collapse soon!" The Red Lady's men and horses indirectly obeyed his command, Cao Yue had already secretly told Sun Chuanting some time ago, there was no need to hide this kind of thing from Old Man Sun, Cao Yue believed that this guy would not talk nonsense.

"Boy, the arrangement is quite thoughtful, a little brainy," Sun Chuanting listened, quite satisfied, and he didn't forget to gossip: "Boy, how did you subdue the red lady?" Surely you two have already had an adulterous affair? ”

"Old man Sun, you can eat as much as you want, you can't talk nonsense, we have a friendship, but there is no adultery," Cao Yue glared at Sun Chuanting, who looked like a gossip in annoyance, with an angry look, "Even if we have a personal affair between us, it is also said that tens of thousands of rogues will be appeased through personal affection, right?" ”

"Of course, in the past," Sun Chuanting had already guessed that there was an unsavory relationship between Cao Yue and the Red Lady, and the psychology of gossip was satisfied, and he couldn't help grinning: "You can appease the Red Lady, no matter what means you use, the old man will not have an opinion, and he will bless you." It's just that Her Royal Highness the princess in your family, is there no opinion? You must know that the concubines of the Ming Dynasty cannot take concubines!"

"Daming's concubine can't ask about court affairs and military affairs!" Cao Yue glared at Sun Chuanting dissatisfied, "Isn't I, the captain of the horse, now the governor of the capital?" Old man Sun, the rules are dead, people are alive, and the living can change the rules of death. Don't say that the laws of the ancestors are immutable, as long as they are not suitable, they can be modified. All the systems of the Ming Dynasty will be slowly revised in the future, and they must keep pace with the times and conform to the development of the times! Let me tell you, there is a system in the West called constitutional monarchy, and I think this system is more suitable for the Ming Dynasty!"

Cao Yue lowered his voice and talked about the characteristics of the constitutional monarchy, which stunned Sun Chuanting.

"Boy, it turns out that you have such a plan," Sun Chuanting looked at Cao Yue like an alien, frowned and said: "The system you are talking about is actually a bit similar to my current cabinet system in the Ming Dynasty, but the emperor's power has been greatly reduced. You say, if the emperor's power is greatly reduced, the emperor will agree, and the ministers of the court will agree? ”

"Take your time, they will all agree, as long as we can cooperate with each other," Cao Yue smiled meaningfully, "as long as the two of us can cooperate well, there is nothing in the world that cannot be done!" We can pacify the Liukou, eliminate the Jiannu, restore peace in the world, and bring a new Ming to the people of the world, a Ming that is far more prosperous and powerful than any dynasty in history!"

"Boy, it's this set again!" Sun Chuanting looked at Cao Yue with a disdainful look, "Okay, let's talk about these things later, now let's continue to discuss the matter of this Northern Expedition!" (To be continued.) )
