It turns out that the toy is called Rainstorm Pear Blossom!

Once the identity of the heavenly killer was confirmed, Xu Liang frowned. The heavenly killing actually came from the Tangmen of Sichuan, which Xu Liang did not expect. The secret weapon of the Tang Sect is unparalleled in the world, although with Xu Liang's current strength, he is not afraid of the Tang Sect, but if he wants to provoke such a hidden sect as the Tang Sect because of a dead heavenly killing, Xu Liang feels that it is not yet time.

Duan Zhigang saw Xu Liang groaning and echoed for a long time, Duan Zhigang asked cautiously: "My lord, the people in the Tang Sect actually dare to come and assassinate the adult, this move is unforgivable." The lord ordered, and his subordinates immediately took Tsing Yi Wei to level the Tang Gate and vent his evil anger for the adult. ”

Xu Liang listened, shook his head slowly, and said in a deep voice: "The secret weapon of the Tang Sect is unparalleled in the world, you take the Tsing Yi guard to kill the Tang Sect, and it is good that you can kill all the people in the Tang Sect, once you let the people in the Tang Sect escape when they hear the news, then there will be endless troubles in the future." One heavenly killing has already given this official a headache, and it is difficult to guarantee that there will not be a second one in the Tang Sect, and the third heavenly killing! The official decided that the Tang Sect should be put aside first. ”

When Duan Zhigang heard this, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, in fact, after verifying that the Heavenly Kill came from the Tang Sect, Duan Zhigang felt very embarrassed. The secret weapons of the Tang Gate are invincible, and the people in the Tang Gate are extremely vindictive, once they provoke the Tang Gate, they will inevitably be chased and killed by the people in the Tang Gate, and they will never die.

Xu Liang thought for a while, and then said: "However, the Heavenly Killing is in the hands of the official, presumably the people in the Tang Sect will investigate it clearly sooner or later, and the people in the Tang Sect may not know the reason, in order to cause misunderstanding, Duan Zhigang, it is better for you to go to the Tang Gate in person, and explain why the Heavenly Killing died in the hands of the official, you must solemnly explain that this matter is over, the official will not hold the Tang Sect responsible, and please do not seek revenge from the Tang Sect." ”

Duan Zhigang nodded and said, "Yes, my subordinates understand." ”

After settling the affairs of the Tang Gate, Xu Liang ordered He Renlong, He Huchen, Cao Bianjiao and Luo Baiguan in Turpan to return to Shaanxi to participate in the training of new soldiers. At the same time, 20,000 troops were stationed in Chijin City and Shazhou City to prevent the counterattack of Tulupan Sutan.

Ten days later, the governor of Shaanxi, Yamen, requested that the posthumous seal of Zhu Cunshu, the king of Qin, who had died in battle, be sent to the court, which immediately caused an uproar.

In the Heart Nourishing Palace, Emperor Chongzhen once again threw a good tea set in front of the ministers of the court.

"It's too much! It's so shameless! It's so damning! Chongzhen used three Tai characters in a row to express the anger in his heart at this moment. The letter of the Shaanxi Governor's Yamen has been torn to shreds by Emperor Chongzhen, and it has fallen in all corners of the Yangxin Palace. Several ministers in the Heart Cultivation Hall hung their heads and did not squeak.

Emperor Chongzhen sulked for a long time, and when he saw that several ministers in the palace were silent, he couldn't help but be even more angry, and snorted angrily: "Why are they all dumb? Aren't you usually quite good at talking? That's what to say! ”

The ministers were silent.

Chongzhen also saw the stinky virtue of these ministers, glared at Shoufu Zhou Yanru angrily, and shouted: "Shoufu, you say!" ”

Zhou Shoufu raised his head, sighed for a long time, and said, "What does Your Majesty want the old minister to say?" ”

Chongzhen was angry, pointed at Zhou Yanru, and scolded: "Xu Liang's twist, what should I do?" ”

Zhou Shoufu pondered for a long time before he trembled and said slightly: "Your Majesty, cough cough, although the proposal to posthumously seal the King of Qin is a bit deviant, but in all fairness, Zhu Cunshu, the King of Qin, went out to conquer Tulupan, and it is indeed the post of marshal of the army, and in any case, the two important towns of Chijin and Shazhou in Tulupan have indeed fallen into the hands of my Ming Dynasty, uh, to say that the King of Qin has the merit of opening up the territory, but it is not all nonsense......"

Chongzhen was angry: "Lao Shoufu listened to what you mean, King Qin has also made great contributions, and I still have to give him a posthumous title?" ”

Zhou Shoufu saw that Emperor Chongzhen's face darkened, and he knew that Chongzhen was already angry, and he had no choice but to say it, so Zhou Shoufu nodded and said: "The old minister thinks that King Qin is dead, and it is impossible to pay for ......the posthumous seal."

"You?!"

Chongzhen's lungs were about to explode.

Cabinet Minister Wen Tiren saw that Emperor Chongzhen was trembling with anger, and he was secretly happy in his heart, and immediately came out of the ranks, arching his hand and retorting loudly: "Lord Shoufu's words are wrong! According to the old minister, the emperor is benevolent, and the crime of not treating the king of Qin for bullying the king is already the emperor's grace, and the posthumous statement is really nonsense. ”

The emperor was stunned, Zhou Shoufu looked at Wen Tiren, and shouted unhappily: "Old Wen Ge, what nonsense are you talking about!" ”

Wen Tiren's eyelids drooped, and he said in a deep voice: "The old minister is not talking nonsense. Your Majesty Mingcha: Since Zhu Cunshu, the king of Qin, is the commander of the expedition to Tulupan, presumably the officers and soldiers of Shaanxi went to Tulupan at the behest of the king of Qin? Before the King of Qin went to war, did he ever play to the court and ask for His Majesty's grace? ”

"This ......" Zhou Shoufu was speechless, everyone knew that King Qin was just in the name of a marshal, and the real person in charge was Xu Liang, the governor of Shaanxi. With Xu Liang's temper, how could he wait for the will of the court to arrive before sending troops?

Wen Tiren saw that Zhou Yanru was speechless, and the emperor bowed slightly, knowing that his words had reached the emperor's heart, so he glanced at Zhou Yanru proudly and said: "The king of Qin has no military department, and no emperor's holy decree, so he brazenly sent troops to Tulupan. Lord Shoufu still remembers the scene a few days ago, when the envoy sent by Turpan Sutan cried on the Jinluan Palace, right? Strictly speaking, Turpan has become a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty for hundreds of years, and the King of Qin disregards the overall situation so much and insists on going his own way, conquering Turpan, which makes the court lose face. ”

Emperor Chongzhen listened, thought about it in his heart, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that Wen Tiren's words were extremely reasonable. couldn't help but look at Wen Tiren with admiration and motioned for him to continue.

"However, Chijin and Shazhou in Turpan have already been subsumed under my Ming rule, and the fact of opening up the territory will not be false, right?" Zhou Shoufu retorted.

Wen Tiren listened, but he looked up to the sky and sneered: "Lord Shoufu, have you forgotten the scene of the Tulufan envoy crying in the main hall?" Chijin and Shazhou were only temporarily occupied by Shaanxi officers and soldiers, and whether they could be included in the territory of the Ming Dynasty is still a matter of two words. Wen Tiren looked triumphantly at the ministers in the Cultivation Heart Palace, and then said: "You all know in your hearts that the soldiers and horses who occupied Chijin and Shazhou are Xu Liang's Shaanxi officers and soldiers, and these troops only have Xu Liang in their eyes, where is there still the emperor and the court!" said that they were the army of the Ming Dynasty, and the old minister felt ashamed in his heart. ”

Zhou Shoufu glared at Wen Tiren angrily, and he couldn't wait to swallow this guy alive. Wen Tiren, after entering the cabinet, went against himself everywhere.

At this time, the second assistant Xu Guangqi interjected and said, "Elder Wen Ge, you can't say that. If Xu Liang does not rebel against the court one day, he will still be a courtier of the Ming Dynasty, and the army under his command will still be the army of the Ming Dynasty. If Wen Ge's words are spread and Xu Liang is forced to rebel, you will have to take full responsibility. ”

Wen Tiren was taken aback, he was playing tricks, he could plot against people, and he could bear the charge of forcing Xu Liang to rebel, he had old arms and legs, and he really couldn't afford it.

Chongzhen thought about it and nodded: "Elder Xu Ge is right, Elder Wen Ge, there are some things that can't be said nonsense." ”

The emperor opened his mouth, Wen Tiren nodded, restrained the smug look on his face a little, and said: "Okay, even if the Ming army occupies the two cities of Chijin and Shazhou. Is the court going to occupy it forever? The fact of the capture of the vassal kingdom is not easy to say or hear, is it? Spread it out, which vassal country will dare to trust the Ming Dynasty in the future? ”

"This ......" Zhou Shoufu really didn't think of this link, and was talked about by Wen Tiren, a hateful old guy, and let him say that he didn't pay attention to it.

Zhou Shoufu saw that the emperor's expression was relaxed, gritted his teeth, and still insisted: "Your Majesty, the old minister ......."

"Shut up!" Chongzhen reprimanded angrily: "As the first assistant, I am so thoughtful, far less thoughtful than Wen Ge Lao Yi!" Are you too embarrassed to speak again?! Go back and reflect! ”

Zhou Shoufu's face turned pale, his lips moved, and he wanted to explain something, but Xu Guangqi, the second assistant next to him, pulled Zhou Yanru's sleeve and motioned him to stop talking.

All the ministers looked at the emperor in amazement, since Zhou Yanru took the position of first assistant, it was the first time that Emperor Chongzhen reprimanded Zhou Shoufu so mercilessly.

After Emperor Chongzhen finished speaking, he waved his hand in disgust and said, "Old Wen Ge stays, you all retreat!" ”

Except for Wen Tiren, the rest of the ministers bowed their hands in unison and withdrew from the Heart Cultivation Palace.

Xu Guangqi accompanied Zhou Yanru to walk in the direction of the cabinet room, and Zhou Yanru looked gloomy. Xu Ge thought about it, and then persuaded: "Shoufu, the emperor is also very angry, and he did it unintentionally. Not for Shousuke. Please also ask Shousuke to relax. ”

Zhou Shoufu waved his hand and sighed: "Elder Xu Ge doesn't have to comfort the old man. The emperor is dissatisfied with the old man, not once or twice, and there is a Wen Tiren among them who keeps provoking, I think the day when the old man leaves the cabinet is not far away. In the future, the cabinet of the Ming Dynasty will be handed over to you, Xu Ge. ”

Xu Ge Lao was startled, and hurriedly shook his head and said: "Shoufu is too pessimistic, the Ming court is still inseparable from Shoufu." The emperor must have recognized this as well. ”

Zhou Shoufu smiled bitterly and waved his hand: "Elder Xu Ge doesn't need to say it. The old man knows it. In the future, if the old man returns to his hometown, and Xu Ge presides over the cabinet, he must be careful of Wen Tiren. Alas, it is a pity that Sun Chengzong and Sun Ge have been disheartened since the Yuan Chonghuan incident, and have been stranded in Liaodong, ignoring the affairs of the DPRK and China. Otherwise, if Sun Ge is there, things will be much easier. ”

Xu Ge Lao heard Zhou Shoufu say this, knowing that Zhou Shoufu was really disheartened, thinking of Sun Chengzong, the cabinet minister who was far away in Liaodong, since Yuan Chonghuan was tortured, Sun Chengzong guarded Liaodong, although he was named a cabinet minister, but it was a rare trip back to Beijing in a year and a half, and the relationship between him and Emperor Chongzhen became more and more estranged.

Of course, Wen Tiren's provocation is indispensable.

Thinking of Wen Tiren, a despicable villain, Xu Ge couldn't help but scold angrily: "Wen Tiren, this guy is really sinister. Since he had long planned to disagree with the posthumous title of Zhu Cunshu, the king of Qin, he just hid it, waiting for the first assistant to speak, and when this guy saw that the situation was wrong, he stood up and made a big statement! Slander the first assistant, welcome the emperor! Villain, really villain! ”

Xu Ge scolded and scolded, then suddenly stopped, stopped with Shoufu Zhou Yanru, and looked at the oncoming person in shock.

The person who came had fluttering hair and eyes like lightning, and it turned out to be Sun Chengzong, the cabinet minister and governor of Jiliao.

Elder Sun Ge smiled at Zhou Shoufu and Elder Xu Ge: "I have seen Lord Shoufu, Elder Xu Ge." ”

Zhou Shoufu and Xu Ge Lao suddenly found that their smart brains were a little insufficient. After looking at Elder Sun Ge in amazement for a long time, Zhou Shoufu remembered and asked, "Elder Sun Ge, what are you...... So why did that one come? ”

Sun Ge smiled and said lightly: "The old minister heard that Xu Liang, the governor of Shaanxi, asked to posthumously crown Zhu Cunshu, the king of Qin, it seems that the opinions of the emperor and the ministers are a little different, and the old minister has nothing to do, so he wants to enter the palace to meet the emperor." ”

Zhou Shoufu and Xu Ge Lao glanced at each other a few times, but they had no idea, Zhou Shoufu said curtly: "The emperor is talking to Wen Ge Lao in the Heart Cultivation Palace, and Sun Ge Lao wants to face the saint, but I am afraid that he will have to wait for a while." ”

When Sun Ge Lao heard that Wen Tiren was actually in the Heart Cultivation Palace, Wen Tiren was in the Heart Cultivation Palace, and the first assistant and the second assistant of the cabinet were walking on the avenue in the palace with a displeased expression, Sun Ge Lao thought of something in a blink of an eye, frowned slightly, and smiled heartily: "It's okay, the old minister will go and drive Wen Tiren out." ”

After Sun Ge Lao finished speaking, he arched his hands towards Zhou Shoufu and Xu Ge Lao, and strode towards the Heart Cultivation Palace.

Elder Xu Ge watched Elder Sun Ge leave, and asked suspiciously, "Elder Sun Ge will also have a time when he has nothing to do?" ”

Zhou Shoufu shook his head affirmatively: "It's not like it at all." ”

The emperor and Wen Ge Lao were talking quietly in the Yangxin Palace, when they suddenly saw a little eunuch running in and reporting to Chongzhen: "Emperor Qiqi, Sun Chengzong, the cabinet minister and the governor of Jiliao, ask to see him. ”

Emperor Chongzhen was stunned for a while, and muttered, "Why is he here?" ”

Wen Tiren was also surprised, the last time he saw Sun Ge Lao was three months ago, what kind of wind blew this old thing over! Thinking that there has been no major event in the DPRK and China recently, except for this song by Xu Liang, the governor of Shaanxi, I vaguely feel that the appearance of Sun Ge is mostly related to the affairs of Shaanxi.

"Let him in."

After a while, Sun Ge Lao strode into the Yangxin Palace, looked at the situation in the hall, and saluted the emperor: "The old minister Sun Chengzong knocked to see my emperor." ”

Chongzhen waved his hand tastelessly and said, "Elder Sun Ge is exempt from courtesy. "This is also where Sun Chengzong doesn't like the emperor, other ministers enter the palace to face the saint, no matter whether the official is big or small, they have to bow three times and bow nine times when they meet, what emperor Long live Long live Long live a lot of shouts. How can it be like Sun Ge Lao, a word of knocking to see my emperor is gone. Dry, there is no sincerity at all.

Chongzhen wanted to withdraw Sun Ge Lao for a long time, but no one in the court was willing to take Sun Ge Lao's stall, and the emperor had no choice, so he endured it.

"Elder Ge enters the palace, is there anything wrong?" Emperor Chongzhen asked in a light tone, his eyes fluttering, and he didn't fall on Sun Ge Lao.

Elder Sun Ge didn't care, and said in a deep voice: "The old minister heard that His Majesty is worried about the affairs of Shaanxi, and the old minister has a plan to solve His Majesty's problem. ”

"Oh?" Chongzhen's gaze finally fell on Sun Ge Lao, and asked curiously, "Do you have a way?" Let's hear it. ”

The warm body on the side said that it was true. And he pricked up his ears and listened.

Unexpectedly, Sun Ge Lao glanced at Wen Tiren, and said honestly and unceremoniously: "Your Majesty, the old minister's strategy is only to be listened to by the emperor alone." ”

Wen Tiren listened, and he was angry in his heart: What's the matter, I, Wen Tiren, am also a dignified cabinet minister, is it necessary to hide the affairs of the Ming Dynasty from me?

Wen Tiren couldn't help but sneer: "Elder Sun Ge, there is nothing to say to others. ”

Elder Sun Ge snorted lightly and only looked at Emperor Chongzhen.

Emperor Chongzhen frowned, and said to Sun Ge Lao in embarrassment: "Wen Ge Lao is not an outsider. "It means that although the ideas you Sun Chengzong came up with are generally good ideas that work, I trust Elder Wen Ge, and there is nothing wrong with him listening.

When Sun Ge heard this, he said directly: "The old minister doesn't say anything, and the old minister retires." (To be continued.) )
