Chapter 471: Living Up to the Grace of God

In the past two years, the imperial history impeached Shi Dayong for supporting the army and self-respecting, but one after another, Hou Sui really didn't open which pot to mention, in the past two years, the government and the opposition have been Shi Dayong's existence?

On merit, Shi Dayong attacked the city and pulled out the village, and also broke the capital of Shenyang, the capital of Dongyu, and presented hundreds of heads on the heads of the prince of Dongyu in Beijing, and tens of thousands of Dongyu heads at the inspection point of the military department, how is it also a great victory, which is more encouraging than the Jinzhou victory of Chongzhen for four years, but what kind of treatment did the imperial court do with Shi Dayong?

It's too late to pretend to be deaf and dumb!

What does the Son of Heaven think of that Shi Dayong?

Not to mention anything else, several envoys went to Dengzhou to summon Shi Dayong to Beijing to meet him, is he here? !

There are rumors in the inner palace that the Son of Heaven laughs at himself for not having twelve gold medals in his hand!

The tail is big, the tail is big!

No one thought that Shi Dayong, the general of Jinzhou, could do such a big thing, how did the tiger and wolf division under his command practice!

To put it nicely, that Shi Dayong is not edicted, and the general virtue of the ancestor's longevity, on the bright face is still the soldiers and horses of the Ming Dynasty, but it is not good to say, Shi Dayong has tens of thousands of soldiers, and does not want to share the worries of the monarch's father, but repeatedly abused his power in the Denglu, and he was even more ashamed to ask himself to set up a Denglu governor, joke, what a big joke, when the governor of the Ming Dynasty was concurrently served by a military general, or this military general invited himself to the court!

What happened in Dengzhou and Lushun, the imperial court is not unaware, and it may be helpless! That Shi Dayong relied on the elite soldiers and horses under his command, and had the merit of quelling the rebellion and breaking the Eastern Captives, and he didn't take the court seriously at all! If he really has a monarch father and a court in his eyes, why didn't he go to Beijing to meet him, could it be that the son of heaven is really the mediocre Song Gaozong! Is he really afraid that the imperial court will give him a storm!

In the past two years, there has been no one in the DPRK and China who has spoken for Na Shi Dayong, saying that meritorious service should not be rewarded to chill the hearts of soldiers, but the question is how to reward him? How to reward?

The credit of Shi Dayong is enough, and it is more than enough to seal the country, but the court wants to be sealed and people are willing to accept it!

Do you want the imperial court to lose face and go to Dengzhou to shoehorn the title of the duke of that country to Shi Dayong!

The court can't afford to lose this face, and the Son of Heaven can't afford to lose this face!

Since last year, no one in the government and the opposition has been wise to mention the situation in Dengzhou, and the imperial historians have been instructed not to impeach Shi Dayong again, it is useless, and the law of the imperial court is useless to the arrogant general!

The imperial court is now taking care of itself, and no one among the important ministers in power is willing to force against Shi Dayong, and no one wants this Shi Dayong to really become an outlier in the Ming Dynasty!

The tradition of the noble and the lowly cannot be lost, if a martial artist is allowed to enter the court with a knife, the princes in power will not be alive! I don't want this face!

On the issue of how to deal with Shi Dayong, whether it is Donglin or non-Donglin, the government and the opposition have the same opinion - invisible!

But the music of Van Dengzhou is suppressed, but the affairs of Van Dengzhou are pressed, but the people of Van Dengzhou are pressed, as if it didn't happen, anyway, there is only one Dengzhou left and right, and Ren Na Shi Dayong tosses the sky, and it can't damage the foundation of the Ming Dynasty. As for that Lushun, the left and right were also thrown out by the East, what does it have to do with the Ming Dynasty!

The princes in power are very shrewd in their calculations, unless Shi Dayong enters Beijing, otherwise everything will happen to the whole dynasty.

It's not that there are people who don't understand, and those who know that Lu Daodong was hit hard by Shi Dayong one after another have the intention to play for Shi Dayong, but Shi Dayong has made mistakes one after another, and he refuses to enter Beijing at all, which makes the officials who want to speak for him speechless.

Correspondingly, the great victories of the Jinzhou army in southern Liaoning and Shenyang were also deliberately downplayed by the imperial court, and without the clamor of the imperial historians, there were really not many people who knew that the Ming Dynasty had won a great victory in the territory of Dongyu. There are people who are close to the side wall, and they only know that Dongyu has been much more honest in the past two years, and they can't see Dongyu Koubian anymore, but they don't know why.

Now that Hou Sui mentioned Shi Dayong again in front of the emperor, Wen Tiren and Zhang Fengyi's faces naturally did not look good.

It is said that Wen Tiren supports Shi Dayong, Chongzhen took over as the first assistant from Zhou Yanru at the beginning of the fourth year, and the whole court is Zhou Yanru's Donglin henchmen, he is really lonely, and finally forced Zhou Yanru away, but it is the Donglin party that occupies the court. He has the intention of using the power outside the court to balance the Donglin Party, but in his bones he is a civil servant after all, and he does not dare to really learn from He Jin to introduce military generals into the court, who knows whether Lu Dao Shi Dayong is Dong Zhuo, and the Donglin Party is not a ten-standing servant, he does not dare to risk the world. Especially Shi Dayong's constant challenge to the bottom line of the imperial court, which made his original heart gradually retract, and now he only hopes that Shi Dayong will really pull the flag and rebel, and the rest, it is really going to rain, and his mother is going to marry - let him go!

Their faces are not good-looking, Chongzhen's face is even worse, Shi Dayong is a sore scar in his heart, no one has revealed it, some people have revealed it, this young son of heaven is really painful!

He snorted, his tone was extremely indifferent, "Except for that Shi Dayong, my Daming has no good generals!" ”

"The emperor is angry, the emperor is angry!" Seeing that the Son of Heaven was angry, Hou Sui hurriedly got up and knelt down, "The minister knows that Shi Dayong has indeed been domineering in the past two years, and there is no court in his eyes at all, but his department is indeed elite, and even Dongyu is not their opponent. ”

"Hmph, I don't want to put a hot face on my cold ass, haven't I lost my face yet?" Thinking that Shi Dayong refused to enter Beijing after several edicts, Chongzhen became more and more angry.

Hou Sui said: "The minister heard that Shi Dayong took Dengzhou and Lushun as the foundation, if he could be transferred from Dengzhou, then his troops would be like a rootless Ping, and the court would control its food and salary, so it would inevitably fight to the death with the thieves, and the court would be happy if it was victorious, and it would not damage the court if it was defeated." This strategy to drive the tiger and devour the wolf, the tiger and the wolf compete, and the final benefit is the court, the emperor! ”

Hou Sui said so beautifully, Chongzhen couldn't help but be moved, and muttered: "It's a good plan, but what if people refuse to obey the edict?" ”

Hou Sui hurriedly expressed his loyalty and said: "Since this matter is proposed by the minister, the free minister went to persuade Shi Dayong, although the emperor is relieved, whether it succeeds or not, there is no substantial loss to the court." ”

"This" Chongzhen thought for a moment and nodded slightly, "Then leave this matter to Aiqing." ”

"The ministers will live up to their hopes."

Hou Sui turned around and sat down and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and his heart was finally worthy of the 50,000 taels of silver sent by Shi Dayong.

Chongzhen told Zhang Fengyi again: "The matter of the transfer of troops by the military department cannot be delayed, and it must be well funded, and there must be no leaks." ”

"The matter of transferring troops, the military department has already made a decision, but the minister is worried that several soldiers and horses will be controlled by Hong Chengchou, and he lacks skills and is difficult to take care of. The military situation is like fire, if you go back and forth to ask for instructions, I am afraid that it will delay the fighter plane, and it will be taken by thieves, so it seems that it is better not to send a person to supervise the military affairs of Henan, Shanxi, and Huguang. ”

Chongzhen pondered: "This statement is certainly reasonable, but Hong Chengchou has a prestige and a good way to suppress bandits, and it is difficult to select such handsome talents, so I don't dare to change generals easily." Speaking of this, I couldn't help but think of Yang He and Chen Qiyu, and said hatefully: "I really can't afford to delay, if this stalemate continues, there will be peace one day!" ”

Chongzhen's expression was a little stunned, and his words were full of remorse, although he did not mean to blame, Zhang Fengyi was shocked into a cold sweat when he heard it, if the emperor thought that he was interceding for Yang He and Chen Qiyu, he became angry, unimaginable, and hurriedly silenced.

"Lu Xiangsheng said that the defense of Zhongdu is empty, and I am afraid that thieves and thieves will go to Zhongdu, can the military department be prepared?" Speaking of this, Chongzhen glanced at Zhang Fengyi and asked him: "Henan is not far from Fengyang, the capital of Longxing, how many people are guarding the ancestral tomb?" ”

Zhang Fengyi replied: "Emperor Taizu Gao set up a special Zhongdu Left-behind Division, under the jurisdiction of Fengyang, Fengyangzhong, Fengyang Right, Imperial Mausoleum, Left-behind Left, Left-behind, Changhuai Eight Guards and 1,000 households, with a total of 6,000 people. ”

"It's not a peaceful and prosperous era now, I'm afraid there are fewer than 6,000 people."

Zhang Fengyi was afraid that Chongzhen would order the transfer of troops again, so he hurriedly argued: "The emperor doesn't have to worry about the Liukou Nan criminals, but he can order Yang Yipeng, the governor of Fengyang, to move to Fengyang, and Wu Zhenying, the governor of Sizhou, thought that the horns were the momentum, echoing left and right. The minister then flew to the governor of Shandong and the imperial history of Caojiang, strictly guarded the critical place, and taught the liukou to retreat despite the difficulties. ”

Wu Zhenying was originally Wen Tiren's fellow in-law, he had been a staff member in Wen Mansion for many years, Wen Tiren was promoted to the first assistant, and he was given an official position in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and he had just been released to Fengyang Patrol for less than a year, and the Yamen was located in Sizhou, and was a subordinate of the Fengyang Governor, but the Fengyang Governor was also the Governor Caoyun, and the Caoyun Governor's Mansion was located in Huai'an, and the affairs of Fengyang Mansion were handled by the Governor on behalf of the Governor, if the Governor Yamen moved to Fengyang, Wu Zhenying would naturally have a lot of constraints, Wen Tiren had the heart to protect him, and asked Zhang Fengyi: "How do you know that the Liukou will know the difficulties and retreat?" With such certainty, isn't it to coax the dragon's heart to joy? ”

Zhang Fengyi didn't think much about it, and said with a smile: "Don't worry too much, your old man grew up in the south of the Yangtze River, and the folk customs in the northwest are not as familiar as my old Shanxi." Since ancient times, Humayi has the north wind and the south branch of the bird's nest, which means that people and things have their own habits. Now those northwest rogues are not used to eating the rice in the south of the Yangtze River, and the war horses ridden by the thieves do not eat the water and grass in the south of the Yangtze River. ”

Wen Tiren snorted lightly: "It turns out that there is such a mystery! That being the case, then Yang Yipeng doesn't have to move to Fengyang, thinking that he is old, and his protΓ©gΓ©s have all joined the cabinet to participate in the secrets, after all, he can't work hard, why teach him not those Zhou Zhang? ”

The words are so eloquent, how can Zhang Fengyi not hear the edge? He immediately remembered that Pi Yang Yipeng was the master of the pavilion elder Wang Yingxiong, and Wu Zhenying and Shou Yu had a friendship of in-law, if he offended the two cabinet ministers because of a trivial matter of changing guards, he was afraid that he would not be able to do it, wiped the fine sweat on his forehead, and replied busily: "That's nature, that's nature." ”

Chongzhen has never left Gyeonggi since he was a child, and he has never received the customs of water and soil in various places, and he heard Zhang Fengyi quote the past and prove the present, and he said that he was the first to be the truth, but he still felt puzzled and asked Wen Tiren: "Mr. thinks it is feasible to protect the ancestral tomb in this way?" ”

Wen Tiren got up and said: "The minister was known by the Holy Lord to meet the great grace and take charge of the cabinet affairs, and he should have made suggestions, but the minister only knew that the vote was intended to be loyal and not deceitful, and he did not study the use of troops in battle, so he was really ashamed!" Zhang Dasima dared to talk about it like this, and the ministers were not good at commenting, so he asked the emperor to make a judgment. ”

"Sit, sir." Chongzhen looked at Hou Sui, who was silent, and said with a smile: "Are you still worried about food?" I don't want to embarrass you, and I don't want to embarrass Hong Chengchou. I will leave you some silver, 800,000 taels of silver for the household, 200,000 taels of silver from the internal funds, and 130,000 taels for Huguang and 20,000 taels for Sichuan, for military use. Do not delay the thief because of the lack of pay, and give you an excuse. ”

"Holy Divine Martial Arts, how dare the ministers!" Wen Tiren hurriedly got up and spoke in unison with Hou Sui and Zhang Fengyi.

Chongzhen stared at the delicate little hand stove and said: "Draft the decree, add the title of secretary of the military department to Hong Chengchou, and let him live a good life." ”
