After Zhu Ping'an led the crowd to leave, Zhu Cihong was so excited that he couldn't help himself, and the frustration of Jiushan Town and the haze of Nanjing's support for King Fu were left behind in a blink of an eye, and he walked around the main hall excitedly.

Seeing such a situation, Li Shichun couldn't help but shake his head and sigh a little, the crown prince and the first emperor Chongzhen are really father and son blood, and they are so eager for quick success, joy and anger.

"Your Highness!" Li Shichun couldn't help but admonish: "The reason why Zhu Ping'an did this is nothing more than the great pressure on him from the governors of various places. Therefore, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does not need to be so relieved, and there are many unimaginable tricky things to go to Nanjing next! ”

Zhu Cihong was a little confused. In his own opinion, as long as the name of the prince comes out, Nanjing is naturally a popular side, and after arriving in Nanjing, he can start his so-called grand plan of lying on the salary and tasting courage and revitalizing the Ming Dynasty.

To be honest, before leaving Beijing, Li Shichun also had the same idea as Zhu Cihong. Heavenly nobles, princes and princes, what could be more noble and respectable than this? But the reality is cruel, since Chongzhen ordered the king of the world to be industrious but no one responded, this Ming has begun to become unrecognizable. Zhu Ping'an is just a provincial commander, but he plays the prince and others in the palm of his hand, and life and death are only between his thoughts.

Will Nanjing's shape be better? The answer is clearly no. Zhu Yousong, the king of fortune, received the full support of Wenchen, Xungui, and internal officials, and most importantly, Liu Liangzuo and Huang Degong, the two most powerful military towns in the south of the Yangtze River.

After listening to Li Shichun's euphemistic advice, Zhu Cihong was also silent. As he said. Didn't you just get out of the tiger's den and enter the wolf's den again?

Li Shichun's meaning in the final analysis is that he must have military power, at least Chongzhen's original intention of arranging Zhu Cihong to seize military power in Shandong was absolutely correct, and there were no soldiers in his hands in those years. It's really hard to move an inch!

Li Shichun observed his words and expressions, and motioned to Zhu Cihong with his eyes to dismiss Yao Minggong, Wu Weiye and others, and then said cautiously: "Actually, the minister has a way to make His Highness get more than 10,000 elite soldiers without much effort, but it is ......!" ”

Zhu Cihong's eyes lit up, "If the teacher has something to say, you might as well say it directly!" ”

"This ......", Li Shichun hesitated for a while, and then made up his mind. Kneeling down, "Please forgive your Highness for being unreasonable!" ”

Li Shichun suddenly bowed to the courtesy, which surprised Zhu Cihong, and hurriedly got up and helped him up, "Why is the teacher like this, you and this palace are called monarchs, but in fact, they are like family, if it weren't for you taking care of you all the way." How can this palace have the vitality of today? ”

Li Shichun was trembling, "The minister's discussion is really a bit of a big deal." Shame on the royal family, but now the shape is already walking on thin ice, so even if His Royal Highness punishes the crime, the minister has to say it! ”

"Teacher, but it doesn't hurt to say!"

"Your Highness, but did you hear Zhu Ping'an's words mention a person?"

"Who?"

"Sun Chuanting of the Governor's Five Provinces Soldiers and Horses!"

"What the teacher means is that we can contact him......!"

Li Shichun shook his head resolutely, "That's not just what the minister said. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is sixteen years old this year. If Jingshi hadn't fallen, he would have gotten married. ”

Zhu Cihong clenched his fists all of a sudden, his eyes stared at Li Shichun, he immediately understood what Li Shichun meant, but Li Shichun lowered his head. Although he was apprehensive in his heart, he still said the words with a bloody courage like pouring beans on a bamboo tube.

"The minister has some friendship with Sun Chuanting, and the first emperor has also judged this person, although this person is stubborn and does not know how to be flexible, but he is indeed a loyal minister and can be reused. The battle of Tongguan was, in the final analysis, the situation dictated by the times, and it was not Sun Chuanting's responsibility alone. ”

Although Sun Chuanting was defeated and the first emperor was furious about it, he did not deprive him of his official position. To this day, he is also the superintendent of the soldiers and horses of the five provinces appointed by the imperial court, and his influence in the army is still as always, if His Royal Highness can reuse him, I believe that many people will be attached to it! ”

"But after all, this time is different from the past, and if you want to firmly control Sun Chuanting, you must take a two-pronged approach. On the one hand, it is to give authority, on the other hand, it is necessary to accept it with kindness and righteousness, the minister heard that Sun Chuanting has a daughter, who is the same age as His Royal Highness, and the talents and appearances are the best choice, if His Royal Highness can ......, then Sun Chuanting will definitely work hard to repay, and dare not be contemptuous! ”

Li Shichun peeked at Zhu Cihong's reaction, and without waiting for Zhu Cihong to say those words, he immediately picked up, "The minister also knows that my ancestral system of the Ming Dynasty and the marriage of the prince are all based on the daughter of a small family as the first choice, just to prevent the relatives from becoming bigger, but now that the shape is pressing, we have to rush to do the power!" ”

After Li Shichun's words were finished, Zhu Cihong sat on the chair in a daze, not knowing how to answer for a while.

……

In the general army palace in Jinan, Qiu Ze and Zhang Yaoxian had already led their generals to wait for a long time, Zhu Ping'an, Yang Tinglin and others came back, and Qiu Ze and Zhang Yaoxian came up to pay their respects with joy. The will that Zhu Cihong read out in Jiushan Town has already flown all over the corner like wings.

Although Qiu Ze is a big old man, Zhang Yaoxian is both civil and military, and the meaning behind his will is naturally clear to understand.

The handsome man of his own family is actually the identity of the clan, although the clan of the Ming Dynasty has been synonymous with captivity and incompetence for hundreds of years. But things change over time, and today's years only depend on the strength in their hands. The northern part of the Ming Dynasty has become the territory of the Dashun army, and the south of the Yangtze River is independent, and Nanjing is chaotic and clamoring to seize the throne, but it is Shandong, which has soldiers and soldiers, grain and grain, and is rich and rich, and the soldiers are the best in the world, and it is no longer a luxury to divide one side or even compete for the world.

Therefore, Qiu Ze and Zhang Yaoxian, the generals who led the army, had a thought in their hearts at the same time. This thought is growing rapidly in everyone's heart.

Including Shen Ke, Zhang Dingbian, Wang Jinfa, Zhu Ping'an's close ministers, when they met with Qiu Ze, Zhang Yaoxian and others, they all quickly exchanged a knowing look, and the excited expression on their faces was undoubtedly revealed.

This qiē was seen by Yang Tinglin in his eyes, and he couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart. The prince's hand not only failed to weaken Zhu Ping'an's authority, but instead strengthened the cohesion of his subordinates, which was counterproductive.

Zhu Ping'an first announced his decision to escort the prince south, but he did not expect to be opposed by his generals. The big guy just saw hope, but he didn't expect Zhu Ping'an to hand over the prince to others and let the tiger return to the mountain, and everyone was naturally 10,000 unhappy, but now there is no way to make some words clear, so they can only blindly oppose it.

The generals present, except for Yang Tinglin, were all Zhu Ping'an's henchmen. Zhu Ping'an ordered the door of the council hall to be closed tightly and arranged for the guards to guard it closely, so he looked at everyone and couldn't help laughing.

"Okay, you don't have to hide it, you have something to say in front of you, it's only been a few days, and one or two of them have become twisted and pinched!"

One sentence made everyone laugh.

Qiu Ze was the first to stand up, "Dashuai, I'm a rough person, I don't know how to beat around the bush, some things are said, Dashuai and Yang Tongzhi don't mind!" ”

"Nowadays, Nanjing is in chaos like a pot of porridge, King Fu, King Lu, and some other princes are making trouble for the throne, the will of the court, the handsome is also the prince of the Tang Dynasty, why can't you fight for this son, it's a big deal that the brothers are desperate to push the old prince to the throne, and it is not too late for the handsome to ascend the throne in the future!"

Qiu Ze's words were simply said, and many people echoed them for a while. Yang Tinglin's face was extremely black, these arrogant soldiers under Zhu Ping'an, how could there be a trace of the court's outline in their eyes, this Qiu Ze didn't even mention the prince, obviously he didn't take it to heart at all.

Zhang Yao spoke the second first, but his thinking was much clearer. He also did not approve of escorting Zhu Cihong to Nanjing, but because he was afraid of Yang Tinglin's presence, he didn't know what Zhu Ping'an's thoughts were in his heart now. Therefore, it is very euphemistic, but it also points out that it is better to detain Zhu Cihong, coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, lead the army to sweep Jiangnan, take charge of the military and political power in half of Jiangnan, and then wait for the opportunity to go north and recover the lost territory.

Zhu Ping'an nodded with satisfaction, after all, Zhang Yaoxian was born in the martial arts hall, and everything he thought was very insightful, but Yang Tinglin was secretly speechless, he was originally an unknown officer, and he could have such insight, think about it, Zhang Yaoxian's idea is indeed meritorious, and if he were himself, it is very likely to adopt this strategy.

But now, is it really possible to do so? The answer is no. Yang Tinglin was immersed in thinking and shook his head slightly involuntarily. This scene fell in Zhu Ping'an's eyes.

Zhu Ping'an stood up, slowly paced to the center of the conference hall, looked around at his subordinates who couldn't hold back their excitement, and then slowly explained: "What you said is right, but at the moment, it is impossible to do it. Escorting the prince south is a move that must be taken, and this move is related to the life and death of our Shandong army in the future! ”

"Jiangnan, Yunnan, Guizhou, and Liangguang, although there are many factions and their own politics, they are still the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and there are hundreds of thousands of people with armor. Although our Shandong is strong, and I, Zhu Ping'an, have also restored the identity of the clan, in the eyes of the governors and town generals in various places, there is always a distinction between the concubines and the generals. Keeping the prince in Shandong, although it seems to be a big help at the moment, but in the future, we may have to spend a lot of effort to conquer people's hearts! ”

"Sending the prince to Nanjing is for the sake of the general trend of the people!" Zhu Ping'an glanced at Yang Tinglin deeply, "This righteous name is hard to buy!" ”

Zhu Ping'an lowered his head and whispered in Yang Tinglin's ear: "Brother Boxiang, take this opportunity, you might as well take a good look at whether those people can take on the heavy responsibility of Zhongxing Daming!" (To be continued......) R1292
