This concert was sent to the capital, and one stone stirred up a thousand waves.

The ministers talked a lot, and they all reprimanded Yang Chengying, saying that he "has no king and no father".

In the Qianqing Palace, the atmosphere was also very tense.

Chongzhen finished reading it with a dark face, and Ning finished writing it with a super long recital of 5,000 words.

"Your Majesty! The minister is warm and benevolent. ”

Wen Tiren came out of class and said: "Yang Chengying has no king, accommodating the slave chieftain in front, and asking the court to seal the king in the back, his heart can be punished, and the court should refute it." ”

"The minister seconded the proposal."

"The minister seconded the ......"

Many ministers stood up and expressed their agreement with Wen Tiren's words.

"Wen Aiqing's words have some truth."

Chongzhen frowned and said, "If I don't allow it, what if he rebels?" ”

"Humph! Your Majesty, Yang Chengying started as a Ming courtier, and most of his accounts are old ministers of the Ming Dynasty, if he dares to rebel, then his subordinates will all belong to His Majesty. ”

Wen Tiren said confidently.

At first glance, this sounds fine.

A large number of civil and military generals who stayed in Liaodong Town, represented by Xu Guangqi, were once courtiers of the Ming Dynasty.

Many of them were influenced by the "Huayi Debate" and chose to take refuge in Yang Chengying to make contributions and reorganize the world.

If Yang Chengying rebels, some of them will choose to come back.

In that case, Yang Chengying will lose a lot of talents, and even shake his foundation.

Some people don't think so.

Who?

Yang Sichang, Governor of Xuanda.

He happened to be back in Beijing to report on his work and attend the court meeting.

"Your Majesty, Wen Shoufu's words are pure wishful thinking."

Yang Sichang said: "You may not know that Yang Chengying invented a new gunpowder, which is more than ten times more powerful than the old gunpowder.

It is not known that he invented a machine that increased the output of spinning, mining, and cast iron several times. ”

When the ministers of the palace heard this, they were all very surprised.

Never heard of this.

Chongzhen's brow furrowed even tighter.

After the ministers digested the news, Yang Sichang continued: "The minister's list is only a very small part.

If it is said that Yang Cheng should create his own official position and be knighted privately, it is already a big rebellion. In view of the fact that the slave soldiers are still there, it can still be tolerated.

Well, gunpowder, firearms, etc., without revealing half a point, has already explained a lot of things. ”

The implication is that Wen Tiren's words are pure fart.

Song Yingxing, Mao Yuanyi, Sun Yuanhua and others who participated in the research, which one was not a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty.

but they kept these things from them.

Literati are still like this, let alone military generals.

"Yang Aiqing's words also make sense." Chongzhen felt a headache.

"That's not afraid."

Wen Tiren said: "Hong Chengchou commanded the soldiers and horses of the five provinces, and he has killed Gao Yingxiang, forcing Li Zicheng to escape into the mountains and forests, and Zhang Xianzhong and other thieves surrendered.

The matter of the thieves has been resolved, and we can deal with Yang Chengying with all our heart. ”

These words, not to mention Yang Sichang's sneer, even Chongzhen felt incredible.

Judging from the secret performances of Hong Chengchou, Sun Chuanting, Yang Sichang and other ministers, the strength of the Liaodong Army is very terrifying.

Even if their words were mixed with sand, Da Ming had just exterminated the thieves from all directions, and he urgently needed to recuperate.

At this time, it is very unwise to fight with Yang Chengying.

Yang Sichang retorted: "The premise of Wen Shoufu saying this is that Yang Chengying rebels, what if Yang Chengying does not rebel?" ”

Wen Tiren didn't turn a corner.

Yang Sichang said: "He endured this matter and continued to do nonsense." Excuse me, how should Wen Shoufu deal with it? ”

Wen Tiren was speechless.

"The world will only think that the court has great achievements and will not be rewarded, who will be willing to contribute to the country in the future."

Yang Sichang turned to Chongzhen and said, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that he should be crowned a prince." However, Song Shuli emphasized that he was only allowed to guard the northern frontier, and he was not allowed to enter the Central Plains without a purpose. ”

Chongzhen was thinking.

Wen Tiren sneered and said, "Lord Yang, you took Yang Chengying's benefits." What's the difference between you and stealing the bell?

Since he won't rebel, we won't be able to seal it up, so why bother. ”

"The king is for the ministers of the Central Plains. Those who have meritorious service are rewarded, this is the rule. ”

Yang Sichang said: "Stabilize Yang Chengying, and then make every effort to rectify the national politics, completely prevent thieves from committing rebellion again, accumulate strength, and then make plans." ”

It is difficult to fight the country, and it is even more difficult to defend the country.

It is not easy to exterminate the thieves, but it is even more difficult to deal with them after they are exterminated.

The Central Plains finally quelled the thief rebellion under the command of Hong Chengchou, and if it is not properly managed, the thief rebellion will inevitably rise again.

Chongzhen was a little tempted.

Wen Tiren still objected: "Your Majesty, Yang Sichang's words are misleading Your Majesty. Once Yang Chengying is crowned king, he will be like Cao Cao of the Three Kingdoms, building his own princes, which is very harmful. ”

This makes sense, Chongzhen thought to himself.

"It is a helpless move to become the king, just because Yang Chengying is already full-fledged."

Yang Sichang said: "Instead of making enemies, it is better to push the boat down the river and let him guard the north." Zhou Tianzi did the same to Chu State back then.

The soldiers of Chu State came to the city, and they were also sent away by Dr. Zhou with the idea of 'not in Ding'.

Yang Chengying is the most famous teacher, and we don't need to give him excuses. Wait for him to stabilize Shenyang and other large rear, and then attack Daming. ”

This is also very reasonable, Chongzhen is entangled.

"You all have a point, Rong Zhen thinks about it before making a calculation."

Chongzhen got up and returned to the dormitory in a daze.

He had a splitting headache.

The eunuch Wang Chengen was very well-behaved, and stepped forward to rub Chongzhen's temples gently.

The strength is just right.

Chongzhen's headache eased a little, and he said, "I have been in the world for six years, why is the world still so turbulent?" ”

Wang Chengen did not speak.

"Why, you say?" Chongzhen pointed at Cao Huachun.

Cao Huachun said: "The slave is the inner court, and he doesn't know about national affairs. But the minion knows a little about medicine and knows a simple truth. ”

"Tell me about it." Chongzhen Road.

"My hands hurt badly, but I can't chop my hands, and I have to rely on him to eat."

Cao Huachun said: "My feet hurt so badly that I can't stomp my feet, and I have to rely on him to walk." ”

Cao Huachun didn't say the latter words, but Chongzhen also understood.

Yang Chengying is certainly a big trouble, but he is a courtier of the Ming Dynasty.

There is a princess, and there is a son born to a princess, but it has not yet reached the point where you have to turn your face.

The thieves are bent on overthrowing the Ming Dynasty, and they must chase and fight hard to exterminate them.

"Spread my will, summon Wen Tiren and Yang Sichang to the palace for an audience."

Chongzhen figured this out and suddenly became enlightened.

He got up, rewarded Cao Huachun first, and then walked to the Qianqing Palace.

When night falls, the candlelight of the Qianqing Palace shines.

Wen Tiren and Yang Sichang knelt in front of the imperial case, looking solemn.

Chongzhen said: "I have already made up my mind, and decided to canonize Yang Chengying as the king, and order him to guard the northern frontier forever, just like the story of Mu Wangfu." ”

"Your Majesty." Yang Sichang kowtowed and praised.

Wen Tiren saw that Chongzhen had made up his mind, so he had to kowtow.

"As for the title, Yang Chengying asked the court to canonize him as the king of Zhou in the song, what do you think?"

Chongzhen asked.

"No, you can't. Shang Tang Zhou Wu is an ancient saint king. Shang Tang and Xia, King Wu and Li people were relieved of fire and water, all of which were praises for the ages. ”

Wen Tiren said: "The minister thinks that it is better to choose another title." ”
