Now that the defeat of Liaoning has been decided, the emperor Taiji, who has just defeated Songjiang, in the eyes of the ministers, should not be able to start the war lightly in a short time, so the courtiers discussed for a while, finalized the aftermath, and skipped this topic.

For today's imperial court, although Jiannu is a big trouble, it is Li Zicheng who is more imminent.

At present, Li Zicheng has already hit Kaifeng, if Kaifeng is broken, Li Zicheng's army can go all the way to Beijing.

Therefore, for these ministers, how to solve Li Zicheng is the most critical issue now.

"Now that thieves are raging and besieging Kaifeng, do you have a good way to break the enemy?"

Although Lao Zhu already had a draft in his heart, he still took the initiative to ask, after all, there are so many ministers in this court, so he can't let him sing a one-man show.

"Back to Your Majesty, Hou Sui has a degree of military use and outstanding ability, if he is there, he can break the siege of Feng."

Zhou Yanru took a step forward and said, "If the minister wants to recommend Hou Xun, I hope that His Majesty will approve it." ”

When Hou Sui was in Chongzhen for nine years, he was jointly impeached by cabinet ministers Xue Guoguan, Wen Tiren and others for misleading the country, and was cut to prison for six years.

This person is an honest official, quite familiar with military affairs, and can be regarded as a rare capable minister in the Ming Dynasty.

In addition to these, the most important thing is that Zuo Liangyu, who has the most troops, is becoming more and more arrogant, and Hou Xun is his old boss, which can completely deter Zuo Liangyu.

So it is undoubtedly the best choice to transfer him out at this time.

After Zhou Yanru's recommendation, the rest of the ministers also agreed.

And after Chen Xinjia, the secretary of the Ministry of War, echoed it, he also spoke: "Your Majesty, Sun Chuanting once defeated the Chuang army, and captured the former king Gao Yingxiang, and the minister wants to recommend Sun Chuanting, the governor of Shaanxi Sanbian, to exterminate the thieves. ”

In the ninth year of Chongzhen, when Sun Chuanting was the governor of Shaanxi, he directly defeated the Chuang army, not only eliminated the rebel army, captured the king Gao Yingxiang alive, but also beat Li Zicheng to the remaining dozen horsemen and fled, almost killing the Chuang army completely.

It's just that when he was fighting later, Chongzhen suspected that Sun Chuanting was unwilling to use his heart in the war, and Yang Sichang and others slandered him, so when Chongzhen was eleven years old, Chongzhen simply sent Sun Chuanting to prison.

According to the historical process, Sun Chuanting was also reused by Chongzhen, but Chongzhen was too suspicious and worried that Sun Chuanting would support the army like Zuo Liangyu and others, so not only did he not give him food, but he tried his best to urge Sun Chuanting to go out to fight.

In the end, Sun Chuanting was defeated, and he himself was killed in battle.

When Lao Zhu was reading the history book given by the simulator, he saw an evaluation of Sun Chuanting, called Chuanting's death, Daming's death, which shows this person's ability.

And Lao Zhu originally knew that the ministers would definitely recommend these two people, and he also planned to use the two, so naturally he would not refute the recommendation of the ministers.

"Passing the decree, Hou Xunguan reinstated the military department Zuo Shilang, the governor of the military affairs of the seven towns of Hebei and Shandong."

"The right attendant of the military department of the official Sun Chuanting, the governor of the trilateral military affairs of Shaanxi."

"Your Majesty."

Seeing the good old Zhu, all the ministers were also very pleased, and for a while, the monarchs and ministers were suitable, and they looked quite harmonious.

But in fact, Lao Zhu didn't expect these ministers at all, and today he came to the court mainly to finalize these two major events.

"Also, the Ministry of Rites issued a decree to summon Zheng Zhilong, the chief soldier of Fujian, to enter Beijing to meet him."

As soon as Lao Zhu's will came out, the ministers in the court were a little confused.

Zheng Zhilong and the others knew that the original pirate leader had great influence on the sea, and later in order to recruit peace for the imperial court, he often harassed Fujian, but he was very measured, only looting, not hurting people, and was even more courteous to officials.

Later, the imperial court simply recruited him, let him take charge of defense, and gave him a position as a guerrilla general of the Five Tigers.

Such a pirate leader, what did Chongzhen do when he saw him, did he want to go around by sea to attack Jiannu's hometown? But the court has no available soldiers now.

These ministers speculated in their hearts about Chongzhen's intentions, but they didn't take this matter to heart, in their opinion, a foundationless Fujian general soldier was just a threat to them at all, and it was not worth caring about at all.

And Lao Zhu didn't care about the reactions of these ministers, in his opinion, Zheng Zhilong was the key person to break the Ming Dynasty today, so he attached great importance to this matter.

In addition to deliberately ordering the Ministry of Rites to summon Zheng Zhilong, he would also let his henchmen and eunuchs go with him, and be sure to bring Zheng Zhilong to the capital in the shortest possible time.

After arranging these things, Lao Zhu didn't talk to them and directly announced his retirement from the dynasty.

But after the dispersal of the dynasty, some of the more perceptive ministers have discovered the difference between "Chongzhen" today, and several important ministers are there to test each other, wanting to know why "Chongzhen" has changed so much.

Just when several old foxes were racing each other's acting skills and talking back and forth, Wang Chengenmai appeared behind these ministers with hurried steps.

"Master Li, please stay."

Wang Chengen quickly walked behind Li Banghua, the imperial history of the left capital, and called out to him, "Lord Li, long live the lord, please." ”

"Your Majesty looking for me?"

Li Banghua was stunned for a moment, and asked, "Princess, did Your Majesty say something?" ”

"This old slave doesn't know."

Wang Chengen shook his head lightly and said, "But it shouldn't be a bad thing, Master Li will know when he goes." ”

Hearing Wang Chengen say this, Li Banghua just wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Zhou Yanru behind him.

"Princess, Your Majesty today, it seems that something is abnormal."

Zhou Yanru stepped forward and asked, "Did something happen in the palace yesterday?" ”

To be honest, the change of "Chongzhen" made Zhou Yanru feel a little uneasy, if he hadn't happened to see Wang Chengen, he would have gone to the inner court to ask the inner servants who had befriended him after he went back.

Of course, at this time, he didn't know that Wang Dehua and Wang Chengen had already begun to clean up those indiscriminate waiters in the palace, and even if he asked, he would definitely not be able to ask anything.

"It's not a big deal, it's just that last night Grandpa Tai dreamed and taught His Majesty some national policies for governing the country."

Now Wang Chengen is becoming more and more proficient when he speaks this, and after speaking, he still shows a pride on his face, "With the blessing of my grandfather, my Ming Dynasty will be prosperous for ten thousand years!" ”

"Grandpa Tai's dream?"

Zhou Yanru and the others looked confused, silently blaming the gods, for them who were scholars, what ghosts and gods, dreams, they wouldn't believe a word.

But looking at Wang Chengen's determined expression, they didn't dare to refute anything, so they could only echo with a dry smile: "What the prince said is right, my Ming Dynasty will be prosperous for ten thousand years." ”
