Chapter 83 The use of Sun Chuanting

During this period of time, although the Apocalypse still did not go to court, all civil and military officials knew that the emperor was very busy.

Busy with the transfer of troops, busy with the formation of a new army, busy with the establishment of the engineering academy......

Today, Tianqi summoned another person, who should have arrived before Xu Guangqi, but because he was dissatisfied with the government, he insisted on not accepting it several times and delayed a lot of time.

It wasn't until Tianqi issued a holy decree that he was strictly ordered to enter the palace to see him, and then he reluctantly came to Jingshi.

He is none other than Sun Chuanting, the party in the sentence "Death of the court, death of the Ming Dynasty", which was widely circulated in later generations.

Sun Chuanting and Yuan Chonghuan are Jinshi in the same period, but Yuan Chonghuan was already a member of the party before he left last year.

And he, when he left his post in the fifth year of the Apocalypse, he was only a five-grade Langzhong, and the situation between the two sides was very different.

Of course, this has a lot to do with the fact that he didn't meet Bole like Yuan Chonghuan, and he didn't brag like Yuan Chonghuan, so he was so depressed.

In the official history, Sun Chuanting resigned angrily because he was dissatisfied with Wei Zhongxian's dictatorship, so after the eunuch party was destroyed by Chongzhen, he has been looking for an opportunity to make a comeback to serve the court with internal and external troubles.

However, he didn't get a chance until Chongzhen's eight years, that is, ten years after he left the officialdom.

Although this reinstatement made him prosperous, it also led him into a huge political whirlpool, and he was repeatedly attacked by political opponents, resulting in unjust imprisonment.

It wasn't until Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong's forces further expanded and the imperial court suppressed them ineffectively, that he remembered him in prison and quickly used him again.

Although the power of this appointment is greater, there is a huge fire pit waiting for him to jump ahead.

In the end, under extremely unfavorable circumstances, he was continuously urged by Chongzhen to fight, and finally fought with Li Zicheng's main force with a mortal heart, and died tragically, which is sad and lamentable.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, it was not that there were no good generals, but in the continuous internal friction, most of the elite soldiers and good generals did not die well, but were killed by their own people, so that they destroyed the Great Wall.

Sun Chuanting, who was kneeling in the center of the main hall, was very burly, with a height of more than 1.8 meters, which was rare in this era.

So in appearance, he looks more like a military general than Lu Xiangsheng, and Tianqi is also very satisfied.

However, Tianqi's face did not show it, but shouted: "Sun Chuanting, what is your intention in repeatedly refusing to accept my summons? ”

Sun Chuanting arched his hand, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Long live Hui, now that the eunuch party is in charge, the officialdom is dark, and Xiaomin has no intention of pursuing a career, he just wants to serve his mother at home, teach students, and live a life without quarrel with the world." ”

Hearing this, Tianqi said with a serious face: "This is the country of me, the country of the Ming Dynasty, who can be the way except me?" ”

"The Hakka clan has been ambushed, and Wei Zhongxian has also been punished by me, this Ming Dynasty, I still have the final say."

"I have successively used Luo Qing, Luo Sigong, Li Qing, Li Banghua, Sun Shi, Sun Chengzong, Yuan Gong, Yuan Keli, Xu Qing, Xu Guangqi and others, and now I also want to use you Sun Chuanting, you say that officialdom is dark?"

Sun Chuanting was shocked, he hadn't paid attention to the situation in the imperial court for half a year, had it changed so much?

Of course, he wouldn't think that the Apocalypse had said something false, and it was impossible for the Emperor to say such a lie, so these must be true.

Apocalypse continued: "No quarrel with the world? Since Wang Er's rebellion in Shaanxi last year, it has swept through Shaanxi and your hometown Shanxi, how can you continue to fight with the world? Or do you also want to learn from those mobs and follow them in rebellion? ”

Sun Chuanting's face changed, and he hurriedly said: "Long live Hui, Xiaomin has been eating the imperial court for many years, how can he do such a rebellious thing?" Long live the vision. ”

Tianqi was silent for a while, and then nodded and said, "You are full of poetry and books, I naturally believe that you will not be so kingless and fatherless, otherwise why would I summon you into the palace?" ”

Sun Chuanting sighed lightly, but he also had the same questions as Lu Xiangsheng, Sun Yuanhua, Wang Zheng and others.

And more than two years have passed since he left his job, why did Banzai suddenly know that he even wanted to use such a small person as himself? It's puzzling.

But this kind of question is naturally not good to ask the emperor in person, so you can only bury the question in your heart.

He hurriedly bowed down, kowtowed and apologized: "Long live, Xiaomin doesn't know that the court has changed so much today, and he is talking nonsense, please long live the crime." ”

Tianqi got up, slowly walked down from above, and read as he walked: "The mountains and seas are still supportive, and they are pitiful." ”

"Pill mud is not a seal plan, who sings the words of the sword."

"If the Holy Lord waits in front of him, he is willing to sprinkle blood and tears on the Danqi."

Sun Chuanting's body trembled uncontrollably, because these poems were written by him, and they were actually known by Banzai, and they were read out in person.

This is naturally not a big rebellion, but it shows his heart to serve the country and his ambition to make contributions.

"If a good holy lord waits in front of him, he is willing to sprinkle blood and tears on Danqi. If I wait for the front now, would I be willing to sprinkle blood and tears on Danqi? ”

Just this sentence, using Sun Chuanting's own spear to attack his shield, instantly shattered his inner defense.

What courtier can remain indifferent when his retribution is known to the king, and then the king quickly extends an olive branch?

No one can resist this kindness, Sun Chuanting suddenly choked up and said: "A few shallow words from Xiaomin make Banzai laugh, but Xiaomin serves the court and expells the heart of the enemy, and the sun and the moon can be learned." If you are willing to let the small people go into battle to kill the enemy, the small people are willing to swear to serve the court. ”

Apocalypse was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "This is what I called you here this time. ”

"I want you to recruit a strong army for me, as brave and good at fighting as the Qin army of the Great Qin Dynasty, are you willing?"

Do you really let yourself, a man who has never led troops to fight, go into battle? Is it because of these heroic words? Isn't that too much child's play?

Although his dream is about to come true, thinking of this, Sun Chuanting can't help but feel a little worried, because since Banzai can appoint himself so casually, it is very likely that he will appoint others like this.

It would be a great disaster to be mixed in by some people who were full of money and had no idea about military affairs.

However, in this situation, I can still directly ask the emperor, why did you let me take on this great responsibility? Is it just because of those few lines of poetry? This is not the method of selecting the virtuous by the Holy Monarch.

Moreover, this kind of suggestion is not the turn of him, a civilian who has no duties and powers, so he can only sigh in his heart.

"The little people are willing." Sun Chuanting still responded quickly.

Because he felt that no matter what, it was not wrong to help the imperial court form a strong army, and it was his own desire to serve the country.
