In the first year of the Apocalypse, June 30, it is advisable to marry and mourn, and it is forbidden to move to the Forbidden City and the Qianqing Palace.

Looking at the map in front of him, the Emperor of the Apocalypse frowned slightly, Shandong's twists and turns had come, and the situation in the entire Shandong had stabilized. Xiong Wencan, the secretary of the military department, and Yang Zhaoji, the general soldier of Shandong, have begun to shrink their forces, and the rebels have no way to stand out, and it is only a matter of time before the rebellion in Shandong is put down.

Turning his gaze to Liaodong, the Emperor of the Apocalypse frowned even tighter, and Xiong Tingbi, the governor of Liaodong, had already made an excerpt, but it was just an excerpt to ask for guilt. Falling on Guangning, the Emperor of the Apocalypse was also very uncomfortable in his heart, but he didn't expect to let Jiannu play it this time. Regarding Xiong Tingbi's judgment, the Emperor of the Apocalypse believed that Jiannu's purpose this time was Lin Dan Khan of Mongolia.

At the beginning, the alliance with Lin Dan Khan was only to deal with Jiannu, and the contradictions between the Ming and the Mongol Tatars were irreconcilable, but a temporary alliance. The Emperor of the Apocalypse didn't care about whether Lin Dan Khan was destroyed or not, anyway, the Emperor of the Apocalypse felt that he would have a war with the Mongol Tatars sooner or later, and how to get the most benefit from this operation was what the Emperor of the Apocalypse was thinking.

Since Jiannu fought Lin Dan Khan, he might as well take back Guangning, after all, this is his own place. The Mongol Tatars took advantage of the defeat of the Ming Dynasty to occupy it, and now it is time to take it back. However, Xiong Tingbi is already doing this, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse is also thinking about it.

As for the rest of Liaodong, what the Emperor of the Apocalypse wanted to get back most was Kaiyuan and Tieling, and Fushun was not in a hurry. As long as Kaiyuan and Tieling are brought back, they can cut off the connection between the Mongolian Tatars and Jiannu. Even if Houjin really took down Lin Dan Khan this time, it would be useless, and the Mongolian tribes and Jiannu would be cut off with one sword.

As for the Jiannu of Zunhua, the Emperor of the Apocalypse didn't take it to heart, Sun Chengzong had already gone, and he went with 70,000 people. 70,000 against 30,000, if Sun Chengzong can't win, then Sun Chengzong will really become a dry eater, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse doesn't believe that Sun Chengzong will be another Yang Hao.

Turning around slightly, the Emperor of the Apocalypse looked at the minister standing behind him, and said in a deep voice: "You have all seen Xiong Tingbi's recital, right?" What do you think, speak up and listen! ”

"Your Majesty, the minister has a play!" As soon as the Emperor of the Apocalypse's words fell, a minister stood up, bowed to the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and said respectfully.

Seeing that it was Chengfeng, the head of the household department, the Emperor of the Apocalypse nodded slowly, and said with a smile: "Cheng Aiqing has never talked much, but the official is doing well, and the reputation is also very good." If you don't open your mouth for a long time, there will be amazing words, Cheng Aiqing has nothing to say. ”

"Your Majesty, you can't blame Lord Xiong for this incident, it's not his fault, Lord Xiong is loyal to the monarch and patriotic, but a loyal minister of the country." When the Emperor of the Apocalypse said this, Cheng Feng's face did not change at all, and he said with a rather solemn face.

Listening to Cheng Feng's words, the Emperor of the Apocalypse was stunned, he really didn't expect that someone would speak to Xiong Tingbi, it seems that his own sweep of the Donglin Party is effective. The Emperor of the Apocalypse said in a deep voice: "Xiong Tingbi indulged Jiannu to rush into the Great Wall, this is already a crime, in order to clear the charge, meritorious service, without insight into Jiannu's conspiracy, this is the second crime." However, for the sake of his loyalty to the country and no consequences, I have already issued a decree to reprimand him. Let him behave well this time, treat the crime and make meritorious contributions, and don't say anything about Cheng Aiqing if he pleads. ”

For Xiong Tingbi, the Emperor of the Apocalypse naturally attaches great importance to him, but since Xiong Tingbi has committed something, he naturally has to be punished. It's just that now the Emperor of the Apocalypse didn't think about how to punish him, so he had to let him make meritorious service first.

After listening to the words of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, Cheng Feng knew that the Emperor of the Apocalypse did not blame Xiong Tingbi, and after a deep groan, Cheng Feng continued: "Your Majesty, the minister feels that this is an opportunity, and Jiannu is gambling!" Whether they can win the bet or not, this is an opportunity for our Daming. ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse nodded lightly, and said with a serious expression: "Cheng Aiqing, if you have anything to say, although I am not a saint, I can also smell it and wake up, say it!" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty! Chen thinks that now we have two choices, both of which can benefit Daming in this matter. Cheng Feng said this, and looked at the Emperor of the Apocalypse again, he needed to get the approval of the Emperor of the Apocalypse before he could continue.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse did not speak, nodded slowly, and motioned for Cheng Feng to continue. It's just that the Emperor of the Apocalypse is very curious about Cheng Feng, this person is a servant of the household, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse also values him a lot. Chengfeng's Tobe Squire did a very good job, but he never showed that he still had military talent.

"Although we have always had an ally relationship with Lin Dan Khan of the Chahar Department, this is all based on the strength of Jiannu, in fact, the relationship between our Ming and Lin Dan Khan is not very harmonious. At that time, Lin Dan Khan took advantage of the war between our Ming Dynasty and Jiannu and attacked our Ming Dynasty's Guangning City, from this point of view, Lin Dan Khan was also forced to form an alliance with us because of the strength of Jiannu. Cheng Feng said and glanced around, and only then did he breathe a sigh of relief when he saw everyone nodding.

"Your Majesty, what Lord Cheng said makes sense, as the so-called non-clan will have different hearts. What's more, when Taizu founded my Ming Dynasty, he had already formed a blood feud with the Mongolian Tatars, and this grudge was insolutable. "It was Yuan Yingtai, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, who stood up, and he was also afraid that the Emperor of the Apocalypse was young and ignorant, and these things must be instilled in the emperor.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse was slightly stunned, how could he get involved here? After a little silence, the Emperor of the Apocalypse understood, coughed lightly, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse said in a deep voice: "Cheng Aiqing, you go on!" As for Yuan Yingtai, the Emperor of the Apocalypse didn't pay attention to him.

Yuan Yingtai, who was standing on the side, was slightly stunned, and when he saw the eyes of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, Yuan Yingtai couldn't wait to slap himself a few times. Although the Emperor of the Apocalypse in front of him is not very old, it is also the scheming of the Son of Heaven, and he really shouldn't say these words.

"Yes, Your Majesty! This time, Jiannu broke into the Great Wall and attacked Guangning, with only one purpose, that is, to contain our Ming army's strength in Liaodong. After all, they are going to fight Lin Dan Khan, and it won't be too long, and our Ming Dynasty will not have time to transfer troops from other places. The defeat of Shenyang last time gave Jiannu a clear understanding of our Ming Dynasty, and they urgently needed to strengthen their strength to fight our Ming Dynasty. Jiannu itself has a small population, so it can only find a way to deal with the outside world, so the Mongolian tribes naturally become the choice. As long as the power of the Mongol tribes can be annexed, the power of Jiannu can be multiplied several times. At the same time, Jiannu can also obtain the vast grassland, galloping along the border of my Ming Dynasty, and at that time, my Ming will be very passive. Cheng Feng bowed to the Emperor of the Apocalypse and said respectfully.

The people in the hall all nodded, what Cheng Feng said was very reasonable, this matter must not be allowed to be done by Jiannu, otherwise it will really be troublesome.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that he can order Lord Xiong to lead his troops to attack from Guangning, directly attack Mongolia, and help Lin Dan Khan tide over this difficulty!" It was Yuan Yingtai who spoke, and his face was also very solemn.

Looking at Yuan Yingtai with a serious face, the Emperor of the Apocalypse felt that it was a mistake to find him, but Yuan Yingtai, as the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, if he really didn't come to him, it is estimated that he would not have the face to continue to be this official. Yuan Yingtai is a loyal minister and quite capable, but this military talent is really poor. I didn't understand the situation at the border at all, and I didn't pay attention to Yuan Yingtai, the Emperor of the Apocalypse nodded at Cheng Feng, and said in a deep voice: "Cheng Aiqing, you continue." ”

Yuan Yingtai was stunned again, and then opened his mouth to say something, but was pulled by Gao Hongtu, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, behind him. For his superior, Gao Hongtu doesn't know what to say, don't say it if you don't understand! is still patriotic, and I want to say a few words about everything, but fortunately, the Emperor of the Apocalypse is wise, and if you really listen to him, you will definitely be full of mistakes and omissions.

"Yes, Your Majesty! If, as Lord Yuan said just now, our Ming Dynasty sent people to attack the grassland, and there were Lord Xiong Tingbi Xiong and Lord Sun Chengzong, I believe that there would be victory and undefeated. But in this way, Jiannu will be devastated and may even be wiped out by Lin Dan Khan of the Chahar Department. Once this happened, Lin Dan Khan became the true king of the Mongolian steppe. At that time, our alliance with Lin Dan Khan will naturally not exist, and the war will still accompany our Ming Dynasty. Therefore, Weichen believes that it is not a good way to help Lin Dan Khan annihilate Jiannu, or to sit back and watch Lin Dan Khan perish. We want to get the most benefit from this matter, and this should be the norm for our Ming Dynasty. Cheng Feng bowed to the Emperor of the Apocalypse and said respectfully.

Nodding slowly, the Emperor of the Apocalypse is really satisfied in his heart, this Chengfeng is a talent! It seems that he should really let him do something else in the future, and after a little hesitation, the Emperor of the Apocalypse said with a smile: "Since Cheng Aiqing said so, it seems that there is a good way!" Let's hear it! ”

Yuan Yingtai, who was standing on the side, finally understood why Gao Hongtu pulled himself, and also knew why the Emperor of the Apocalypse ignored him, and sighed rather gloomily. It seems that I really don't have much talent for these, so it's better to talk as little as possible in the future.

"Your Majesty, the minister didn't think of any good way for a while, but he just had some dislike ideas, and he didn't know if it would work. The minister dared to say it, hoping that the emperor would not blame him. Giving a salute to the Emperor of the Apocalypse, Cheng Feng said sincerely.

nodded with satisfaction, talented but not arrogant, very rare! Laughing lightly, the Emperor of the Apocalypse said in a brisk tone: "Cheng Aiqing, what do you have to say!" ”

Those who know the Emperor of the Apocalypse know that this is very satisfied with Chengfeng on the other side, and it seems that this Hubu Shangshu will soon be promoted by the Emperor of the Apocalypse!
