He Sun Chuanting is the official of the Ming Emperor, but he is also the official of the tens of millions of people in the Ming Dynasty, and now Chongzhen looks like a mustard for the people, which makes Sun Chuanting's heart like ashes, and the emperor of a country does not cherish his own people, that is the beginning of the destruction of this huge empire.

Sun Chuanting felt despair for the second time in his heart about this huge empire.

The first time was that Chongzhen insisted on executing Lu Xiangsheng, and Lu Xiangsheng did something wrong, but he didn't want to see the people humiliated, and went against Chongzhen's will, led his troops to attack Jiannu, recaptured tens of thousands of people, and killed the main force of the Tianxiong army.

Because of this, Chongzhen wants to kill Lu Xiangsheng, and Sun Chuanting and Lu Xiangsheng are good friends, which means that he agrees with Lu Xiangsheng's point of view very much, and recognizes Lu Xiangsheng's idea of putting the society first and the monarch second.

Therefore, when the eunuch said so nakedly that Chongzhen wanted to give up the people of the north and only wanted to defend Kyoto, Sun Chuanting's heart was cold.

At this time, he thought of some people, some things, the person was Zhu Qizhen, the god of war of the Ming Dynasty, for his own life, he didn't want his face, and knocked on the gate of the Ming border with Wara.

The thing is that half of the Ming Dynasty is a saint, Yu Qian is less protective of the building and Yu Jiang, in the face of the emperor's capture, he also resolutely sticks to the capital, so that Zhu Qizhen became a glorious student of Wara, and let Wara not get a penny of benefits.

And although he can't be compared to Shaobao, he already has a little bit of care in his heart.

At this time, the eunuch looked at Sun Chuanting, waiting for Sun Chuanting's reply, Sun Chuanting thought for a long time, sighed and said: "Father-in-law, please return to Your Majesty, Xuanda is a border pass, you must not lose, please treat it carefully, and please tell Your Majesty that Sun Chuanting will rush to Henan early tomorrow morning, please don't worry about it." ”

"Hey, that's right, Lord Sun, I know that you are loyal and brave and dedicated to the people, but Lord Sun, you must remember this word, if the emperor is here, the Ming Dynasty will collapse again, it will still be the Ming Dynasty, if the emperor is not there, even if the people of the Ming Dynasty are intact, it is not the Ming Dynasty~"

After speaking, the eunuch smiled, and then arched his hand at Sun Chuanting and said: "Lord Sun is all he said, and the miscellaneous family will not delay here, so I will return to Beijing and tell Your Majesty." ”

When Sun Chuanting heard this, he arched his hand and said, "Send my father-in-law." ”

"Master Sun stays, you have every opportunity, so hurry up and dispatch troops to quell the rebellion in Henan."

After speaking, the father-in-law waved his hand, withdrew with the brocade guards who came with him, and watched the eunuch leave, and Vice Admiral Sun Chuanting, who had been kneeling not far away, got up and came to Sun Chuanting and said, "My lord." ”

Sun Chuanting turned his head and glanced at him when he heard this, and the deputy general said at this time: "My lord, do we really want to give up Xuanda and save Henan?" ”

Sun Chuanting heard this: "In addition, there is another way? ”

Hearing this, the adjutant frowned and said: "But my lord, the Xuanda defense line has just been built, if we leave, Xuanda will inevitably be empty, and when the time comes, won't the Jiannu and Tartars come to make trouble?" ”

Hearing this, Sun Chuanting said: "Your words are true, but this matter is helpless, and the holy decree is difficult to disobey, but waiting for Lu Minghao's wine bag and rice bag to take over the post of Xuanda is indeed a little uneasy." ”

Sun Chuanting said, and then said: "I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to succeed in this matter alone, and we need to borrow a little external force, you go, send this news to Lao Qinying, they will know how to help us." ”

Hearing this, the adjutant looked at Sun Chuanting and said, "My lord, do you want to borrow the power of Lantian?" ”

Sun Chuanting nodded and said: "For today's plan, I can only rely on them, and no one can rely on this Daming." ”

Hearing this, the adjutant hesitated, and said for a long time: "My lord, since you have been disappointed in Daming, why don't you go elsewhere, your Excellency is a talent to help the world and save the people, since Daming does not appreciate it, it is better to ......"

Before the adjutant finished speaking, he was stopped by Sun Chuanting, Sun Chuanting looked at him and smiled: "I know what you say, but I have received the emperor's favor for 30 years and eaten the emperor's 30 years of money, and this love must be repaid, otherwise I will not become the person who betrays the master, an unrighteous person, this is something that my Sun can never bear." ”

"Okay, don't mention this matter again, it's just a life, it's a big deal to return it to Daming."

Sun Chuanting said: "Okay, you go and deliver the news, and call Captain Wang in addition." ”

"Yes."

The adjutant stepped back, and soon Sun Chuanting's henchman, Captain Wang, walked in and knelt on one knee: "I've seen my lord." ”

Sun Chuanting said: "Pass my military order, order the whole army to renovate immediately, double the food today, eat all the meat eaten during the festival, eat and drink enough, and go south to Henan with me tomorrow to quell the rebellion." ”

】

"Yes."

Wang Xiaowei bowed down and clenched his fists, turned around and left, the only advantage of Wang Xiaowei is that he never asks the reason, as long as the Shangguan gives an order, he will carry it out unscrupulously, he is a typical foolish and loyal faction, which is also the reason why he can become Sun Chuanting's most profitable henchman.

Different leaders like different subordinates, and leaders with strong abilities often have a strong desire to control, and at this time, an obedient subordinate who does not have too many opinions of his own will be his favorite.

Those who are less capable know that their ability is not good, so they need some strong subordinates, hoping that their subordinates have subjective initiative, and when they do not expect it, they can check and fill in the gaps and complete the work of the leader, and the leader can not have real power, as long as the credit is given to him.

And Sun Chuanting is the first, he is the leader with strong ability and strong desire to control.

Captain Wang went to integrate the army to prepare for tomorrow's march, Sun Chuanting stood in the room at this time, his eyes looked at an incense burner in the distance, his heart rose and fell, and finally he couldn't help but sigh and said: "Brother Lu, maybe you are right, in the face of this incompetent court, sometimes death may not be a relief." ”

"Alas~"

President Sun Chuan let out a long sigh and slowly sat back in his seat, an unprecedented feeling of exhaustion acting on him.

Long sigh, to cover up the tears, mourn the difficulties of the people's livelihood, powerlessness, sitting for a long time and unable to move, tired, where will the Ming go.

……

Lantian County, County Office.

At this time, in the office, Li Chaosheng was reading a report, and there was a tall, but very thin middle-aged man standing on the side.

"The county respect, the amendment of the law of Lantian has been completed, and some need to be amended a little bit in practice, so the county respects me suggesting that it should be held in Lantian every two years, and the law revision meeting will be held in the county, and then the county's legal practitioners will put forward the new understanding of the legal provisions in the past two years, or mistakes, or suggestions, and when the time comes, the conference will raise hands to vote, and the adopted will be added to the laws and regulations in the coming year, what does the county think?"

Li Chaosheng listened to this and bowed his head lightly: "Lu Gong is fortunate, what Lu Gong said is very true, laws and regulations must be gradually improved in life practice, and laws and regulations must meet the most real needs of the people, so that they can be regarded as a qualified law, the biggest difference between our Lantian people and the old bureaucrats and old scholars of the Ming Dynasty is that we are rooted in reality, all rules and regulations, laws and regulations, are revised according to the actual situation, this is what we Lantian has been pursuing to keep pace with the times." ”

After Li Chaosheng finished speaking, Lu Xiangsheng said: "What the county zun said is that this is also the most enlightened by Lu in the past year, Lantian is moving forward, not like the Ming Dynasty, or the previous feudal dynasty, in order to consolidate their rule, they do not seek to move forward, but simply seek stability, so if you open the history, you will know that thousands of years of civilization in China are almost repeating one thing, living with the ancients today, except for some more materials, there is almost no great progress in laws and regulations, and spiritual outlook, as if we have been standing still for thousands of yearsIt's a terrible thing. ”

Li Chaosheng smiled when he heard this: "What Lu Gong said is extremely true, this is also my concern, but our Lantian still reassures me, it has been making progress over the years, not only science and technology, or the people's thoughts, and even the law has made great progress under the concerted efforts of Lu Gong and other legal colleagues, this is the luck of Lantian." ”

Lu Xiangsheng heard this: "The county respects it, Lu just did his duty." ”

Li Chaosheng said with a smile: "By the way, Duke Lu, let's talk about business, let's talk about some private matters, the family has been good recently, how is the old lady?" ”

Lu Xiangsheng said with a smile on his face when he heard this: "I haven't thanked the county for this, my mother's cough is an old problem, and it is not easy to use no matter how many doctors I have seen, and I can't stand it when I cough, but since I heard your words from the county honor, I went to Lantian Central Hospital to take a look, and the doctor prescribed Chinese medicine, and also took a few injections of penicillin, and soon, my old mother is no longer coughing so violently, and now she only coughs a few times occasionally, her body is much better than before, and she can still spin yarn at home." ”

"Really? That's good, the old lady's illness can be cured, that's a great thing, I'll go to see the old lady when I'm free, the braised fish made by the old lady last time tasted really good, now think about it, there is a lingering fragrance in the mouth. ”

Lu Xiangsheng heard this: "The county lord praises it, how can the mother's craftsmanship catch up with the chefs in the county mansion, they are all some family dishes." ”

Li Chaosheng waved his hand and said: "Hey, home food has a taste, otherwise it is not interesting to eat like a seat every day, I still don't like the feeling of eating a large table of dishes alone, it's too wasteful." ”

"The county respects diligence and thrift, which is the blessing of the people."

Lu Xiangsheng took the opportunity to pat a sycophant, Li Chaosheng listened to it but was very useful, you can let Lu Xiangsheng pat your ass, what a sense of accomplishment, after all, if you don't do that part, Lu Xiangsheng, the axis person, will never give you a good word.

"County Honor."

Li Chaosheng was gossiping with Lu Xiangsheng, when Gu Zi suddenly appeared at the door of the office, still holding a piece of information in his hand, Li Chaosheng saw this and said, "Come in." ”

Gu Zi walked in, glanced at Lu Xiangsheng, nodded and said, "Lu Gong." ”

Lu Xiangsheng also nodded in return, and then said to Li Chaosheng: "The county has military information, so Lu will leave." ”

Li Chaosheng heard this: "Lu Gong finally came to the county government once, how can he just leave, let's go to the canteen for a light meal in a while, what information does Gu Zi have, you don't have to hide it from Lu Gong, they are all their own people." ”

Gu Zi heard this: "This is information from Sun Chuanting of Xuanfu. ”

After Gu Zi finished speaking, he looked at Lu Xiangsheng, it was not that Gu Zi was hiding from Lu Xiangsheng, the main thing was that Lu Xiangsheng was a friend of Sun Chuanting, and he planted spies in Sun Chuanting's military camp to let Lu Xiangsheng know that it was not good after all.

Hearing this, Li Chaosheng looked at Gu Zi and said: "Oh, the news from Sun Chuanting's office, okay, Lu Chengcheng is an old friend of Sun Chuanting, and they know each other well, and reading the information also allows Lu Gong to help the staff officer." ”

"This ...... Be. ”

Gu Zi hesitated slightly, but still took out the information and read it, Lu Xiangsheng looked at Li Chaosheng, but Li Chaosheng smiled and nodded to Lu Gong, which means that I trust Lu Gong 100%.

Gu Zi took the information and read it out: "County Zun, Sun Chuanting sent a deputy general to my old Qin camp today to send a message, Chongzhen wants to send Sun Chuanting to lead the Qin army south to Henan to exterminate the thieves, and Sun Chuanting and the Qin army left, Xuanda border air defense is weak, I am afraid that it will give Tartar and Jiannu a chance to go south, and Emperor Chongzhen obviously wants to give up Xuanda, and even sent Lu Minghao to take over as the governor of Xuanda." ”

"Hmm!"

Lu Xiangsheng frowned when he listened, Lu Minghao knew this guy too well, if he hadn't seen that Jiannu didn't even resist, and ran away directly with the soldiers, his Tianxiong army would not have suffered heavy losses, although in that battle, his Tianxiong army won, but more than 2,000 brothers died, and if Lu Minghao persisted a little, did not lose the strong city, and forced the Tianxiong army to fight a field battle with Jiannu, the Tianxiong army could defeat the enemy with very small casualties.

And afterwards, Lu Minghao actually spent money to take the relationship, and the crime of escaping from the battle turned into a crime of negligence, from a crime that could be enough to be beheaded, and finally became a dismissal and stay in Beijing for inspection.

Unexpectedly, in just one year, he jumped from the identity of dismissal and investigation to the governor of Xuanda, and achieved the promotion of his official position, and now let such a guy who will run away after seeing Jiannu serve as the governor of Xuanda, Daming is really no one available?

Or has Daming given up defending Xuanda? Does the one in the middle of the court really care about the lives of the people of the North? ?

Lu Xiangsheng's head was running rapidly, and Gu Zi said at this time: "County Zun, the situation is such a situation, please ask County Zun to decide." ”

Li Chaosheng smiled when he heard this: "What does Gong Lu think? ”

Lu Xiangsheng didn't expect Li Chaosheng to point at himself, so he said: "I, this is the Lantian military, and it has nothing to do with my Ministry of Justice." ”

Lu Xiangsheng shook his head directly when he heard this and refused to answer, Li Chaosheng saw this and said: "Lu Gong was also a commander in the army before, this military should be no stranger, or does Lu Gong not want to teach?" ”

Lu Xiangsheng saw Li Chaosheng say this, so he said: "County Zun, don't dare to give teaching, the county Zun said, Lu said, the Ming Dynasty is now overstretched, and it is time to demolish the east wall and make up the west wall, and as soon as Sun Chuanting leaves, the great danger has been declared, and the people of the north will suffer." ”
