Hong Yihan embarked on the journey to Beijing from Denglai, and he followed the road traveled by the previous two envoys to the Ming Dynasty. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Of course, he was also warmly welcomed by the Ming officials along the way, the banquet greeted, and the poetry was a must, and the Ming officialdom has always been extremely graceful to foreign officials, for the sake of the face of the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, Hong Yihan also hyped up Zhao Lie's aid to the DPRK and the expedition to the Japanese State at the banquet, and defeated the exploits of Jiannu and the Japanese Kou, so that the officialdom along the way knew about Denglai Jun and Zhao Lie.

In fact, Zhao Lie's name is very familiar in the officialdom of Shandong and Gyeonggi where Hong Yihan passed through Beijing, and this can be regarded as a famous general of the Ming Dynasty.

But a military minister stops there, in the Ming Dynasty, where Wenchen is in charge of everything, what can a military minister do if he is as strong as Qi Ye.

But this time it was completely different, a military minister actually went on an expedition to the Wa State and Korea, defeated Jiannu, and forced the Wa State to submit to it, this merit was far inferior to Qi Ye back then.

The ministers of the Ming Dynasty all knew that the financial constraints of the Ming Dynasty were the beginning of Wanli's aid to the Dynasty, and this war exhausted the confidence of the Ming Dynasty.

The army of Liaodong in the Ming Dynasty was reduced by nearly half because of this battle, which is a large-scale attrition, which is simply incredible.

One is a large amount of loss, the other is that there is no replenishment at all, without him, the imperial court's pension silver will still be in arrears, not to mention the recruitment of new military households.

This gave Jiannu a chance to rise, so to speak, if there was no Wanli aid to the dynasty, Jiannu would have no chance to annex Liaodong at all, and the Ming Dynasty could stone Jiannu to death with a huge amount of silver.

It can be seen how much loss and impact the Japanese invaders have caused to the Ming Dynasty, which can be said to be the final blow to the bottom of the kettle.

It is such a hard bone that was gnawed down by more than 10,000 elite soldiers led by a general soldier of the Ming Dynasty, what a great merit this is, in the eyes of the Ming people, this merit can be compared with Huo Quai's wolf Juxu, and even surpassed.

They all hit foreign tribes, one is to kill a lot of Xiongnu leaders, chase thousands of miles north, and the other is to ride the wind and waves to expedition the old enemy and force the Japanese to surrender.

But in the hearts of the Ming people, the Japanese people are a hundred years of pain, but Zhao Lie's general army in a small corner of the country made the entire Japanese country defeated, and this feat is slightly better than Huo Qu's illness.

With the spread of Hong Yihan like a communication machine, Zhao Lie's name spread all over the north, and in just half a month, Zhao Lie's prestige of conquering the Japanese country to rescue Korea resounded in the north, and the new general of the Ming Dynasty rose.

Of course, this news also reached the Beijing Division, and one of Chen Yingyuan and Zhang Guoyuan's excerpts was put on the cabinet table, and the other entered the Ouchi and was placed on the dragon case of the Son of Heaven.

Today's Ming cabinet is also shaking, the immortal Weng Wen Tiren has supported the hot position of the first assistant for more than three years, due to the continued erosion of internal affairs, Wen Tiren can only encourage support, the situation continues to deteriorate, plus Wen Tiren appoints private individuals, gangs and factions, and gradually loses the emperor's heart.

How can a Shoufu who has lost the emperor's heart be stable, at this time, Wen Tiren was already on his way home, and he got out of class.

He was replaced by Zhang Zhifa, an old bureaucrat who followed the rules, Chongzhen was really helpless to choose him, the DPRK and China no longer had capable ministers to deal with this kind of chaotic situation, Zhang Zhifa was a conservative, and he had no talent and courage to deal with the current chaotic situation.

It is conceivable that such a mediocre Shoufu received this hot potato-like excerpt, what can he do, he has only one way, report, let the Son of Heaven decide.

And it is normal for the cabinet members to put forward several suggestions after deliberation for the Son of Heaven to refer to, and then the Son of Heaven will decide.

But in the face of Chen Yingyuan's excerpt, the cabinet did not suggest, this matter is too big, and no one has the decision to make a suggestion, so it is better for the Son of Heaven to decide.

In the main hall of the Qianqing Palace, the atmosphere was extremely suffocating, Chongzhen sat behind the dragon case and looked at Chen Yingyuan's folds, while Zhang Zhifa, Kong Zhenyun, Liu Yuliang, and Xue Guoguan were waiting respectfully below.

There was only the rustle of Chongzhen's flipping folds in the main hall, and the silence was a little terrifying.

"Expedition to the Wa Kingdom, the Wa people surrender." Chongzhen closed the fold, patted it lightly with his hand, and looked at the ministers below very calmly, his sideburns had begun to turn white early, which showed that the marks left on him by the past ten years were really too difficult.

"This is my great joy of the Ming Dynasty, and it is the grand wish of Lord Wanli to submit to the Japanese people, and now it is realized in my hands, and it can be regarded as an explanation to the ancestors and ancestors."

Seeing that the Son of Heaven had made a decision, the ministers were obedient one after another, all complimenting the Son of Heaven, and the atmosphere in the hall became strangely warm for a while.

Xue Guoguan looked at the other three with disdain, as Wen Tiren's direct confidant, he was the shadow left by Wen Tiren, and at the same time he was quite decisive, good at drilling, brave in doing anything, to put it bluntly, he dared to gamble and take risks.

He really didn't look down on the three old bureaucrats who were stable on the side, but these three people were much older than him.

The reason why he doesn't look down on these three old bureaucrats is very simple, although the Son of Heaven said that he set the tone on the victory of the Japanese country, but the smile on his face was almost as stiff as squeezing out, and the gaze in his eyes was even colder.

"Long live the lord, although Zhao Lie, the chief soldier of Denglai, has successively attacked Korea and the Japanese state, and has earned too much face for my Ming Dynasty, but he has repeatedly marched without edicts and greatly despised the laws of the imperial court.

In the midst of praise, Xue Guoguan's words were extremely harsh, and Zhang Zhifa glanced at him coldly.

The reason for Zhang Zhifa's anger in his heart is very simple, it is easy to suppress Denglai, but to send troops, where is the food and salary of the soldiers.

Now that the elite soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are exhausted, only Liaozhen is still considered elite in the whole world, but it was nailed there by Jiannu, and the other soldiers are also unbearable even the border army.

As for the money and grain, the treasury of the household department can already run mice, where is the money and grain.

And the three major salaries have also begun to stagnate, and the potential of the Ming Dynasty has begun to be exhausted.

It's too much for you to dare to criticize him, the first assistant.

Kong Zhenyun's face is also not good, he hates Xue Guoguan deeply, only Liu Yuliang is calm, he can be regarded as a few times, he has experienced a lot, and his eyes are also light.

"Merit is merit is fault, Zhao Lie has made great contributions to the community, needless to say, there should be a reward, I will not hesitate to reward,"

Chongzhen's words are very interesting,

"However, it is a felony to despise the imperial court to send troops to the army without an edict, and it must also be severely punished, and those who are subject to the courtiers must be punished."

Chongzhen's words revealed a chill, dispelling the rather warm atmosphere without a trace, making the hall cold.

At this time, if the ministers don't understand, is it possible to stand in this position?

It seems that today's son is extremely angry with Zhao Lie, which means that he will get rid of it quickly.

"Zhao Lie has made outstanding achievements, but there is no court law, and it is not a day or two to disobey the officials, and it is time to rectify it."

Zhang Zhifa turned quickly.

"Zhao Lie's generals and soldiers are brave and brave to fight, and they are all natives of Denglai, and they occupy the style of the Denglai General Army and the Denglai Division, and the ordinary disposal will not damage them at all, this,"

Liu Yuliang's words at this time cater to the holy will, this is the experience of a veteran officialdom,

"The imperial court still has to think carefully about some methods, and it can't be taken lightly."

Chongzhen's approving jaw is indeed a good thing to think about, although he has stepped down from the shadow of the Jinyi Guard, but the possibility of killing Zhao Lie under many guards is really not high, if there are other good ways, of course he will not let go.

"Your Majesty, since Zhao Lie has run Denglai like an iron bucket, and the idle needles can't be pricked and splashed with water, why don't you transfer it away from the mountain."

Xue Guoguan bowed and said.

Chongzhen was refreshed when he heard this, Xue Guoguan was the shadow of the eunuch party, but Chongzhen took a fancy to his daring temperament, and now there are too many people who follow the rules in the DPRK and China, and now it is not the time to change it slowly, but the time to be cured by a dose of fierce medicine.

"Well, Xue Aiqing will talk about it."

"Your Majesty, now that the chaotic people are raging in the southern lakes of the Shanxian River, the encirclement and suppression of the officials and troops is unfavorable, and it is very tricky, but Zhao Lie's department has such a strong combat force and has nothing to do in Denglai, isn't it too wasteful."

Xue Guoguan's idea is really good, this is a good way to divert the tiger from the mountain, and at the same time let Zhao Liebu fight with a large number of rebels and rebels, and the court will reap the benefits.

Aiqing continued. Chongzhen's eyes sharpened.

"Now Gao Rebellion has been awarded the head, but the rebels elected Li Zi to become the leader of the rebellion, dozens of large and small bandits, raging in Shaanxi and Henan, Zhang Xianzhong and other bandit leaders in Huguang and other places, these rebels are more than tens of thousands, and the few are thousands, which has become a problem in the heart of the Central Plains, and the Denglai army can be mobilized to encircle and suppress them one by one."

Xue Guo saw Chongzhen's expression, and his heart was more confident,

"The best result is, of course, a defeat for both sides, even if Zhao Lie wins in the end, it will exhaust its military strength, and at this time, North Korea will take advantage of the situation to take back Denglai, and Zhao Lie is helpless."

Chongzhen, who said this, nodded secretly.

"I'm afraid Zhao Lie won't be so tame, transfer troops, hum, if he just doesn't move in Denglai." Zhang Zhifa retorted, in his opinion, where is it so easy, if it is really so easy, Zhao Lie can be so difficult.

"Then cut off the food and salary of Denglai General Town and Denglai Dusi, and the imperial court will send people to buy the generals under his command with high-ranking officials Houlu, hum, how can you force them out. As long as Zhao Lie leaves Denglai, the imperial court can take the opportunity to act, otherwise there is nothing to do about Zhao Lie. ”

Xue Guoguan's idea is also vicious.

Zhang Zhifa glanced at Xue Guoguan coldly, and commented that the leaders of all parties who encircled and suppressed the rebels were helpless, and he really dared to say that the governors and governors of all parties who suppressed bandits in the Central Plains were not colleagues all over the country in the same year, and there were countless people in Beijing, you Xue Guoguan wanted to isolate himself from the Ming officialdom, no wonder he was able to collude with the eunuch party at the beginning, and sooner or later he would be dragged to death by you opening his mouth.
