Chapter 557: It's good to marry the princess to Li Chaosheng
Chen Xinjia is worthy of being an old fritter, these words are the same as not saying, you can't find fault with him, everyone wants to applaud at this time, what you said is so good, please don't say it again in the future, that's right, this is really good, but is it useful?
It's useless, at this time, Zhou Yanru and the others looked at Chen Xinjia and wanted to say: Well, Lao Chen, what you said is very good, the ball is really bad.
Chongzhen frowned slightly, he also felt that what Chen Xinjia said was the same as what he didn't say, but what Chen Xinjia said was also very reasonable, at this time, it was not just a matter of saying it alone, the most important thing at this time was to brainstorm.
Chongzhen looked at Zhou Yanru at this time and said, "Zhou Shoufu, what do you mean?" ”
Zhou Yanru heard this: "The thieves flooded Kaifeng this time, causing the people around Kaifeng to live in poverty, it is the loss of my Ming Dynasty, the minister thinks that this matter can not be delayed, and he should send troops immediately, as for who to send, the old minister and Wenchen do not know much about the military, Your Majesty still ask Lord Chen and Lord Wang." ”
Hearing this, Chen Xinjia and Wang Qiaonian scolded their mother, you are an old fox, at this time, you are still with the mud, and you have a relationship with the mud, which is really bad.
Chongzhen nodded when he heard this: "What does Wang Aiqing think? ”
Wang Qiaonian heard this: "Your Majesty, the thieves are in full swing, and the ministers think that there are only four people who can shoulder the responsibility of fighting against the thieves, one is Lord Hong Chengchou of Liaodong, the other is Lord Sun Chuanting of Xuanfu, and Lord Yang Sichang of Hubei, and Lord Zuo Liangyu Zuo of Tongguan, as for who to choose, please ask Your Majesty and your lords to decide." ”
Hearing this, Chongzhen fell into deep thought, Wang Qiaonian was right, there are only four generals who can rank in the Ming Dynasty at present, but Hong Chengchou can't move, and the situation in Liaodong is even more tricky than Li Zicheng.
Hong Chengchou can still hold up in Liaodong for a while, then Sun Chuanting, Yang Sichang and Zuo Liangyu are left.
Zuo Liangyu Chongzhen didn't want to move, the reason was very simple, Lantian was a flood beast, he didn't look at Lantian, and when Lantian came out of Tongguan, the harm was much greater than Li Zicheng, Li Zicheng was a rogue, and the war was mobile, and Li Chaosheng was fighting a place to govern a land, so as to completely cut this land out of the territory of the Ming Dynasty.
This is the real national thief, national thief!
Then there are only two people left, Yang Sichang and Sun Chuanting, the position of these two people is very important, Sun Chuanting is stationed in Xuanfu, Xuanfu is the most important pass to defend Jiannu and Mongolia, if there is no right-hand man to guard, then Daming will not become a ranch for foreigners to gallop, Sun Chuanting can not move lightly.
What about Yang Sichang?
Yang Sichang was playing hide and seek with Zhang Xianzhong in Hubei at this time, and Zhang Xianzhong's purpose did not seem to occupy Hubei, but wanted to enter Sichuan, Sichuan, there is an old lady Qin, why not release Zhang Xianzhong, let him enter Sichuan to wrestle with the old lady Qin, and then transfer Yang Sichang out to deal with Li Zicheng?
Thinking of this, Chongzhen looked at everyone: "Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think of transferring Yang Sichang into Henan?" ”
Hearing this, Zhou Yanru and the others glanced at each other, followed by Zhou Yanru and said: "Your Majesty, Lord Yang is the secretary of the military department, and his military ability is first-class in the world, if he is transferred to Henan to suppress Li Zicheng, he will definitely be able to quell this chaos." ”
Chongzhen nodded when he heard this, and at this time, Wang Qiaonian on the side said: "What Lord Zhou said is extremely true, Lord Yang will definitely be able to quell the rebellion." ”
Chen Xinjia thought about it when he heard this, and said to Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, but Lord Yang Sichang is suppressing Zhang Xianzhong, if Your Majesty transfers Yang Sichang, what will happen to Zhang Xianzhong?" ”
Hearing this, Chongzhen frowned slightly, and Zhou Yanru said: "What Lord Chen said is extremely true, but according to the battle report from Hubei, Zhang Xianzhong's purpose is not Hubei, but wants to enter Sichuan. ”
Chen Xinjia was silent when he heard this, and Chongzhen said: "Well, what else do you Aiqing have to say?" ”
Hearing this, everyone was silent, Yang Sichang is indeed a good choice, after all, Yang Sichang has been benchmarking with Lu Xiangsheng all these years, so everyone subconsciously thinks that Yang Sichang's ability is similar to Lu Xiangsheng.
Back then, Lu Xiangsheng pacified the counterjudgment of Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng and others, so now Yang Sichang, who is in the same position as Lu Xiangsheng, can handle Li Zicheng according to the principle.
So after a period of discussion, everyone decided to choose Yang Sichang's central idea, but Cao Huachun wanted to say something in the process, but in the end he just pursed his lips, and Zhou Yanru also saw Cao Huachun's movements, but he was silent.
Chongzhen saw that the big guys did not object, so he immediately asked Wang Chengen to issue an order to immediately transfer Yang Sichang into Henan to lead all the troops in Henan, and he must curb Li Zicheng's arrogance and completely eliminate Li Zicheng.
The holy decree was drafted, Chongzhen's mood was a little better, a big stone was considered to have landed, and then Chongzhen was also tired, waved his hand, and asked Wang Chengen to send the holy decree down, and immediately let Yang Sichang enter Henan to get Li Zicheng.
And the rest of the princes also went back separately, ready to support Henan in all aspects and eliminate Li Zicheng.
Everyone left the palace, and Zhou Yanru stopped Cao Huachun, who was about to leave.
"Grandpa Cao!"
Cao Huachun was stunned and looked back at Zhou Yanru, usually Cao Huachun would not get too close to Zhou Yanru at all, after all, it is taboo for eunuchs to get too close to the ministers of the court, and if they don't make trouble, they will be suspected by the emperor, and their lives will not be guaranteed at that time.
But today, Cao Huachun wanted to say a few words to Zhou Yanru, so Cao Huachun asked the little eunuch to carry the sedan chair behind him, and Cao Huachun said: "Zhou Shoufu, I'll send you a way." ”
Zhou Yanru smiled at Chen Xinjia behind him, and Wang Qiaonian said, "The two of you go first, and I will follow." ”
The two looked at Zhou Yanru and Cao Huachun strangely, why are the two people who are usually incompatible still walking together today?
The two of them were curious, but they didn't say much, and left in a hurry.
At this time, Zhou Yanru and Cao Huachun walked together, and after walking a few steps, Zhou Yanru said: "Gonggong Cao, do you think Yang Sichang can quell Li Zicheng's rebellion?" ”

Cao Huachun smiled when he heard this: "Yang Sichang seems to be very close to the adult, why does the adult still ask me about this matter?" ”
Zhou Yanru said with a smile: "Gonggong Cao has worked hard for the country for decades and has a unique vision, and some things still need to be listened to by Gonggong's thoughts. ”
Cao Huachun paused when he heard this: "Do you want to hear the truth, or a lie?" ”
Zhou Yanru was stunned and said, "What about the truth?" ”
Cao Huachun said: "Although Lord Yang is a scholar of the military department and is proficient in military affairs, he is still a little reluctant to Li Zicheng. ”
Zhou Yanru nodded when he heard this: "What my father-in-law said is very true, so who does my father-in-law think is better to help Lord Yang?" ”
Cao Huachun smiled: "Isn't it clear in Zhou Gong's heart? ”
Immediately after that, the two looked at each other and said, "Zuo Liangyu!" ”
The next moment, the two couldn't help laughing, yes, it was indeed Zuo Liangyu who was the most suitable, the first Hong Chengchou would definitely not be able to move, so he was directly excluded, and the rest except Hong Chengchou was Sun Chuanting and Zuo Liangyu.
Sun Chuanting does not say that he declares the position and importance of the governor, just saying that his relationship with Yang Sichang is not suitable for doing things together, first of all, Sun Chuanting is a good friend of Lu Xiangsheng, and Yang Sichang is to blame for Lu Xiangsheng's death, and the two are estranged here.
Immediately followed by the Tartar invasion that year, Yang Sichang once placed Sun Chuanting and Yang Sichang together in Julu, so these two people themselves have a grudge, and two people with grudges You insist on pinching the two of them together, which is obviously inappropriate, so this choice is to choose, and the most suitable one to team up with Yang Sichang is Zuo Liangyu.
After all, the relationship between the two is good, and they used to be allies in the annexation of Lantian back then, so it is naturally more compatible to cooperate at this time.
But neither of them said that they wanted to move Zuo Liangyu just now, and the reason was very simple, they all knew the weight of Lantian in Chongzhen's heart, and Lantian was a more murderous existence than Li Zicheng in Chongzhen, so Zuo Liangyu and they didn't dare to move, otherwise they would touch Chongzhen's fragile heart.
But both of them know Lantian, and the two have been paying attention to Lantian through various means over the years, and as they pay more and more attention, they are shocked to find that Lantian is far stronger than they imagined, and it is not the bullshit Zuo Liangyu Army that restricts Lantian's outward expansion, but Li Chaosheng's heart!
If Li Chaosheng wants to get out of Lantian, let alone Zuo Liangyu, even if he adds Sun Chuanting, Yang Sichang can't stop it at all, so Zuo Liangyu's army is just a decoration in Lantian, and it is for Chongzhen to get suspicious.
Zhou Yanru and Cao Huachun stopped talking, and took a few steps forward, Zhou Yanru said: "Gonggong Cao, some time ago, Zuo Liangyu's army had a skirmish with Lantian, do you know? ”
Cao Huachun heard this: "I heard a little, it seems that Zuo Liangyu's uncompetitive son Zuo Mengeng had a conflict with a militia squad in Lantian, but he didn't win the battle. ”
"Yes, ridiculous, ridiculous, it's really ridiculous, Gonggong Cao knows, with that kind of militia, there are hundreds of thousands of people in Lantian now, you say that if these hundreds of thousands of people are armed out of Lantian, can Zuo Liangyu stop it?"
Zhou Yanru looked at Cao Huachun and said, Cao Huachun smiled when he heard this: "I understand what Shoufu wants to say, let me tell Shoufu a story, there are elephants in Nanyang Siam, Shoufu can know?" ”
"Know a thing or two."
"I once met the Siamese mahouts with the Apocalypse, and the elephants they trained were as tall as mountains, but the rope that tied the elephant was only the thickness of a finger, and if the elephant wanted to break free, it was easy to break free with a single pull, but the elephant was honestly locked to the finger-thick rope and never broke free."
"The Apocalypse Lord was curious, so he asked, why is this so?"
"The mahout replied, "This elephant has been locked with this rope since he was the youngest, and the elephant has never broken free since he was a child, and when he has a big heart, he will not think about breaking free."
"Oh, I see."
Zhou Yanru nodded, and Cao Huachun said: "And Lantian is the elephant now, the force of the Ming Dynasty is a thin rope for it, if he is willing, he can easily break free, but he didn't do it, why?" ”
"Father-in-law is saying that Lantian's heart is also locked?"
Zhou Yanru squinted his eyes and said.
Cao Huachun said: "Yes, someone once said that His Majesty will not die, Lantian will not rebel, I thought it was nonsense, but it was a paralyzing signal released by Lantian to the imperial court, wanting to confuse the imperial court, so as to reduce the targeting of him, but in recent years, I think this statement is probably not groundless, it is more like the lock that locks Lantian, otherwise with Zuo Liangyu's means, there would have been no bones left for Lantian to swallow, does Zhou Gong think so?" ”
Zhou Yanru said: "When you say this, I also think that it is not the army of the Ming Dynasty that traps Lantian, but the people of Lantian or Li Chaosheng's respect for His Majesty, because he respects His Majesty, so he does not send troops, so Zuo Liangyu has been able to watch Lantian all these years without chaos." ”
Cao Huachun nodded and said: "In this way, you don't need Zuo Liangyu, just send a few people over, and you don't even need to send them, Li Chaosheng will not send troops to Lantian at will, which means that Zuo Liangyu has actually been idle these years." ”
"If you have a will, you can't use it, does Zhou Gong think it's a waste?"
Cao Huachun looked at Zhou Yanru with a smile, Zhou Yanru nodded and said: "Gonggong Cao, this is very true, Lantian is no longer conquerable by force, so now Lantian should not be conquered by force, but should find a way to influence Li Chaosheng personally, or to exert favors, or to affect his mind, as long as Li Chaosheng does not want to fight the Ming Dynasty, then Lantian will be trapped in a domain for the rest of his life, Gonggong Cao thinks that my words are right." ”
"Hehehe...... Zhou Gong is worthy of being the pillar of the country, the mystery of the deep art of war, the best at fighting and planning the second and the most important soldiers, it is not advisable for Lantian to use force, we should transfer our thoughts and use grace instead, so as to lock Lantian again, as long as Li Chaosheng is locked, then Lantian will not only not be the burden of the Ming Dynasty, but also become the help of His Majesty, if you get the help of Lantian, the Ming Dynasty is hopeful! ”
Cao Huachun said with emotion, and after hearing this, Zhou Yanru smiled and said: "What my father-in-law said is very true, but how should we lock the heart of Li Chaosheng, the dragon?" Give him an official knighthood? ”
Cao Huachun shook his head and said: "It's not good, Your Majesty named Li Chaosheng as a wait, and Li Chaosheng didn't react at all, which means that this can't impress this hero." ”
"What does the father-in-law mean?"
Cao Huachun said: "How can I think so much as a eunuch, I still have to think about Zhou Gong." ”
Zhou Yanru narrowed his eyes when he heard this, and looked at Cao Huachun, this old bastard is very cunning, if he didn't think of a way, how could he mention that he was a eunuch, this sentence obviously wanted to make him think in this way, but there were just some things that he couldn't say.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yanru looked at Cao Huachun, Cao Huachun also looked at Zhou Yanru, the two looked at each other for a long time, Zhou Yanru seemed to have said a gossip, and said to himself: "Our Princess Changping seems to have reached the age of marriage." ”
