Following Sun Chengzong to the back, the two of them sat down separately, Xiong Tingbi once again raised his own questions, and said to Sun Chengzong: "My lord, the restructuring of Liaodong has just been completed, and most of the soldiers are newly recruited, and many things have not been straightened out, is it inappropriate to send troops now?" ”

Xiong Tingbi couldn't understand why, although Jiannu sent troops to the northwest, it seemed that the rear was empty, and it was a good opportunity to send troops. But striking iron still needs its own hardness, Xiong Tingbi knows very well that his side is not hard at all. There are more than 100,000 horses outside, although it looks majestic, but the combat power is still up for debate!

Shaking his head with a wry smile, he glanced at Xiong Tingbi helplessly, and Sun Chengzong said in a deep voice: "Feibai, this year's military expenditure in Liaodong alone is almost five million taels of silver, which can be said to be the highest in history." Although it is the beginning of the new army, the cost is naturally more, but you must also understand that these are all the money of the emperor's inner treasury! ”

Listening to Sun Chengzong's words, Xiong Tingbi frowned, for defending the city and fighting, Xiong Tingbi thought that he would not lose to anyone. But when encountering other things, Xiong Tingbi could only be at a loss, looked at Sun Chengzong and said: "My lord, Xia Guan and my lord have been working together for a long time, and my lord should know that Xia Guan is a person!" ”

Looking at Xiong Tingbi with a blank face, Sun Chengzong knew that he had spoken deeply, muttered for a moment, and asked: "Feibai, Liaodong has today's situation, what do you say you rely on?" ”

I didn't expect Sun Chengzong to bring the topic here, Xiong Tingbi knew that since Sun Chengzong said so, it must have a deep meaning. He lowered his head and thought about it, and said, "Naturally, it is the adults who plan and control the situation!" ”

Waving his hand, Sun Chengzong interrupted Xiong Tingbi's words and said, "Even if the old man has great talent. can only be in the capital, Liaodong can rely on the emperor today. The emperor appointed the old man as the first assistant and put the old man in Liaodong, which can be said to be well-intentioned. What is even more rare is the emperor's unparalleled trust in the old man, and the reason why the opposition of the court and the central government is not high. That's because the land of Liaodong spent the silver of the emperor's inner treasury! ”

At this point, Xiong Tingbi naturally felt deeply, he was captured and brought to Beijing, if it wasn't for the emperor, I'm afraid he wouldn't have thought of it. As if he knew what Sun Chengzong wanted to say, Xiong Tingbi hesitated slightly and asked, "My lord, is there something wrong in the capital?" ”

Nodding slightly, Sun Chengzong helplessly arrived: "Although the emperor didn't mention it." The old man can also know some things, and these things have been expected for a long time. The court is not peaceful, the emperor needs a big victory to deter the ministers, and the old man needs a big victory to tell the world that the old man does not have the emperor's silver in vain. ”

"That being said, if something goes wrong. The hard work of the emperor and the adults will be in vain! Xiong Tingbi frowned slightly, with a thick worry on his face, Liaodong had just improved, and he really didn't want any more mistakes.

Standing up slowly, his slightly old body suddenly glowed with the momentum of moving forward, Sun Chengzong looked outside and said, "The old man is determined to calm the side plug." Dangping Jiannu and Tartars, today finally have an opportunity, naturally they will not let it go. As the saying goes, a good iron needs to be hard, but if we don't hit iron, but wood? ”

With a deep sigh of relief, Xiong Tingbi also stood up and said, "My lord is right, I wanted to defend the city alone, and the lower officials did not have the slightest fear. Now Liaodong has 200,000 armor, and he is actually afraid. It really shouldn't be. If you can't even win the battle where the main force of Jiannu is not there, how can you talk about ploughing and sweeping the holes! ”

Nodding with a smile, Sun Chengzong said in high spirits: "This is the Xiong Tingbi I know!" Jiannu is extremely arrogant, thinking that we dare not go out of the city to fight, this time I will make them pay! ”

"Xia Guan is willing to drive forward for adults!" Xiong Tingbi bowed. There was a little fanaticism on his face, and his body was trembling.

Walking to Xiong Tingbi's side, he reached out and patted him on the shoulder, Sun Chengzong said with a smile: "Go and prepare!" It's time to pay homage to the prime minister! ”

In the afternoon of the same day, a cavalry of 20,000 men left Shenyang City, and they went to support Lu Xiangsheng and his party in Zunhua. Early the next morning, the army pulled out its camp and went into debt, and the huge chess pieces fluttered in the wind.

The men and horses of Liaodong have set off, and the men and horses of the capital have been away for three days, everything has been unfolded, and waiting is the final decisive battle.

The atmosphere in the Forbidden City has been very depressing these days, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse seems to be in a bad mood, and he punished several eunuchs and palace maids, and for a while all the people in the palace were cautious. At this time, the Emperor of the Apocalypse was standing in front of the map with a frown, looking at the map with a little worry on his face, and behind him was Liu Yijing, the second assistant of the cabinet.

Liu Yijing knelt on the ground at this time, lowered his head, and couldn't see the expression on his face clearly. Seeing that the Emperor of the Apocalypse ignored him, Liu Yijing took out a copy of the recital from his sleeve, raised it high above his head, and said in a respectful tone: "Your Majesty, the minister is old and frail, and he is not suitable to serve the emperor. ”

As if he hadn't heard Liu Yijing's words, the Emperor of the Apocalypse was still frowning and looking at the map, and the atmosphere in the hall seemed to have fallen to freezing. Wang Chengen, who was on the side, saw this scene and hurriedly beckoned the eunuch and palace maid to go out.

Listening to the door of the palace slowly closing, the Emperor of the Apocalypse slowly turned around, and said in a serious voice: "Put away your recital, are you persecuting me?" ”

"Your Majesty, the old minister doesn't dare! The minister is indeed old, and he can't do his best for the emperor! Liu Yijing put the fold on the ground and kowtowed.

With a playful smile, the Emperor of the Apocalypse slowly walked back to the back of the dragon book case, and said without a trace of fireworks: "Now that I am using troops abroad, the government and the opposition are busy with green, at this time, my bachelor is not thinking about how to share my worries, but how to resign." Glancing at Liu Yijing, the voice of the Emperor of the Apocalypse suddenly became cold, and said, "Liu Aiqing, you come to tell me, why is this?" ”

"Your Majesty!" Liu Yijing slammed his head on the ground, tears on his face, and his body trembled, but he didn't say a word.

Nodding slowly, the Emperor of the Apocalypse sighed, and said to Wang Chengen on the side: "Move a brocade pier for Liu Aiqing, it's not good to be so old." ”

"Emperor Xie!" Liu Yijing's heart is fifteen buckets to draw water, seven up and eight down. He really didn't know what the Emperor of the Apocalypse thought, and he didn't want to resign, but this was a political way, and he had already made a move, so it depended on how the Emperor of the Apocalypse took it.

After a slight sigh, the Emperor of the Apocalypse said with a slight mockery on his face: "The reputation of me outside is not very good, I know. Since I ascended the throne, many people have said that I am unruly, and if I hadn't swept away some people in advance, I'm afraid my ears would not be so quiet at this time. ”

"The emperor is working hard, this is obvious to all, whether it is inspirational or side work, the emperor is the master of the center!" Liu Yijing hurriedly said, there can be no hesitation at this time, nor can there be the slightest ambiguity.

It didn't seem to hear Liu Yijing's words, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse said in a deep voice: "Sun Chengzong is my teacher, the first auxiliary scholar of the cabinet, and he still holds the military power in his hands. Many people have too much power to Sun Chengzong, I am afraid that there will be a disaster of Chen Qiao in the future, I don't know what Liu Aiqing thinks? ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse stared straight at Liu Yijing, with a thick scrutiny in his eyes, and put his right hand on a thick fold on one side, waiting for Liu Yijing's answer.

"Your Majesty, the minister doesn't know what other people think, but the minister knows very well in his heart that the emperor is wise and wise, and Lord Sun is even more capable, which can be said to be rare since the founding of the Ming Dynasty. Although Lord Sun has the title of the down payment of the cabinet, he has never asked about the cabinet, and he has been running around in the border area in the year of the sixtieth year, and the minister does not know what to say except admiration in his heart! Liu Yijing's face at this time was very serious, his eyes were looking at the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and his voice was extremely firm.

Nodding, the Emperor of the Apocalypse suddenly felt a little relieved on his face, and said, "When I cleaned the court, many people left, do you know why I didn't let you go?" ”

Liu Yijing shook his head slowly, he had been thinking about this matter all along, but he couldn't figure it out. Although he was not involved in the case of Liaodong, the Emperor of the Apocalypse had no reason to be inseparable from him.

"You were saved by Sun Aiqing, he told me that you are the one who does things, and after he arrives in Liaodong, the cabinet can give you mathematics, he is very relieved. Sun Aiqing also told me that when necessary, I can straighten you out and make you a member of the first assistant university in the cabinet. The Emperor of the Apocalypse looked at him with a look of remembrance, as if these words were really what Sun Chengzong said.

Sitting there stunned, Liu Yijing really didn't expect it, but the Emperor of the Apocalypse had no reason to be mad about himself.

Not caring about Liu Yijing's expression, the Emperor of the Apocalypse continued: "It turns out that Lord Sun is right, Liu Aiqing is conscientious and has done a very good job, and I am very happy in my heart." I know that this time it wasn't you who did it, so I put my heart in my stomach. ”

"The minister is grateful, and he will definitely smear His Majesty's liver and brain!" Hurriedly knelt on the ground, Liu Yijing burst into tears, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse went around in a big circle to comfort himself, it was precisely because he did not doubt himself and eliminated his doubts that Liu Yijing could naturally understand the thoughts of the Emperor of the Apocalypse.

Laughing and walking down the dragon book case, the Emperor of the Apocalypse helped Liu Yijing up, and said in a soft voice: "Work hard, you will definitely be famous in history in the future, I need you, and Daming also needs you!" ”

The two words of the Emperor of the Apocalypse made Liu Yijing speechless, his lips trembled, but he couldn't make a sound.

Not in a hurry at all, the Emperor of the Apocalypse quietly waited for Liu Yijing to recover, and he kept a smile on his face, but there was a cold murderous intent in his eyes. On the right hand that the Emperor of the Apocalypse has been putting behind him, a book of folds is tightly pinched in his hand, and it reads: Impeach Sun Chengzong, the first assistant scholar of the cabinet, for lawlessness! On the right side of the Longshu case, there are many such twists and turns, and the top one is: Impeachment of Sun Chengzong, the governor of Jiliao, for collaborating with the enemy!
