Gao Qiqian has always been recognized by Zhu Youzhen as "the eunuch who knows the most about military affairs", and when he opened his mouth, Zhu Youzhen's attention immediately turned: "Gao Aiqing, if you have anything to say, just say it." ”

Gao Qiqian: "Just now, Lord Lu said that Phi Dao is currently stable with the support of Cao Wenzhao, the coastal commander-in-chief. But as everyone knows, Phi Dao has never listened to the imperial court because of its isolation overseas. There have been many rebellions on Phi Island, and a large number of traitors have been produced, what Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, and Shang Kexi, which one did not jump out of Phi Island? ”

Zhu Youzhen: "Uh, this ...... It's ......."

Gao Qiqian: "Phi Dao is unreliable, and the king of Joseon is even more unreliable." North Korea is weak and can be bullied, even if it sends troops to help us, what is the use? Jiannu casually sent a general, and in two or three strokes, he could beat North Korea to the ground, and it would not help us at all. ”

Zhu Youzhen: "Uh, uh, that's reasonable. ”

Gao Qiqian: "Let's talk about Mongolia, although I don't know what medicine Mongolia has taken recently, and it has frequently caused trouble for Jiannu in the north, but the Mongolians have always been the enemies of my Ming Dynasty, and their snakes and rats are swaying at both ends, how can they definitely become our helpers?" Can you win them over by opening a mutual market? I think about it too much. ”

Lu Xiangsheng: "The horse market opened by this official in Datong, Xuanfu, has traded with the Mongols many times, and there is no problem, and the Mongols like it very much." ”

Gao Qiqian: "You are acting as an enemy!" It's the same as the Jin merchants sent supplies to Jiannu, the Mongols bought salt, tea, and iron pots from you, and these things will turn into weapons to attack my Daming. ”

Lu Xiangsheng: "No! They became friends with us. ”

Gao Qiqian sneered: "How can Mongolia become friends with us?" ”

The argument between the two made the important ministers in the audience frown.

The minister, who was making trouble at the border, couldn't help but wonder in his heart: "Can Mongolia become friends?" Belch...... It's hard to say. I feel like I can, but I feel like I can't. ”

Zhu Youzhen was also panicked when he heard it, compared to Lu Xiangsheng, he still trusted the eunuch who had accompanied him in the official since he was a child, so he was more inclined to Gao Qiqian, and couldn't help but speak: "Gao Aiqing, then you mean, you can't counterattack?" ”

Gao Qiqian: "Yes, you can't counterattack. ”

Everyone: "Coax! ”

Lu Xiangsheng was angry: "This is not a counterattack, do you want to obediently let Jiannu beat us?" ”

Gao Qiqian: "I don't mean that, I think that Jiannu is currently being attacked on both sides, and it is the easiest time to appease him, and he is using Fu now." ”

Lu Xiangsheng: "......"

Ministers: "......"

Comfort?

Here I have to mention the use of the word "fu".

When the Ming Dynasty cleaned up the liukou, it used the word "fu", which was of course condescending, and used a kind of "pacification of the big man to the little man" as the central idea.

However, it was not the same for the Manchus.

In fact, many Beijing officials know that the Ming Dynasty can't defeat Jiannu, and the word "appeasement" is impossible to talk about, it can only be said to be "talking about peace".

However, it is simply unacceptable to say that it would damage the face of the Heavenly Empire to talk about peace, and to "negotiate peace" with a group of slaves who built a state and savages in the ancient period.

Therefore, the officials in the court changed "peace talks" to a better "appeasement".

That is to say, what Gao Qiqian just said about "using Fu today" really means "now is a good time to talk about peace".

Just now they said yes, but the important ministers didn't open their mouths.

But now as soon as they said that they wanted to talk about peace, the important ministers were in high spirits, and they all had ideas in an instant.

A retainer stood up: "Caress it!" Take care of it! In the final analysis, Jiannu is also our Jianzhou slave, who ran out and rebelled, and the nature of the rogues is not much different. Taking advantage of the fact that Jiannu is now facing enemies on several sides and is in the most difficult situation, sending people to negotiate peace will definitely get twice the result with half the effort. Jiannu will obediently withdraw from the army and will not attack again. ”

Lu Xiangsheng was furious: "How can Jiannu and Liukou be generalized? At the moment, we should 'take advantage of his illness and ask for his life', how can we use peace talks to give him a chance to breathe. ”

Another minister stood up and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, when we exterminated the Liukou, we spent a lot of money and grain, and the treasury is still empty, if we attack Liaodong again, the treasury will be even tighter." Why not take this opportunity to soothe Jiannu, and after the military affairs are stopped, it is time to do a good job in government affairs and solve the problem of the empty treasury first. ”

Zhu Youzhen heard this and was greatly moved.

Lu Xiangsheng was angry: "This is a peerless opportunity, if you miss it, when North Korea and Mongolia can no longer form a clamp on Jiannu, Jiannu will definitely attack again, and my Ming Dynasty is in danger." ”

Gao Qiqian: "Alarmist! Nonsense. ”

Lu Xiangsheng: "The fighter plane must not be lost, and it will not come again if it is lost." ”

At this time, Zhu Youzhen's heart has basically made a decision: listen to the high dive!

Speaking of which, he really believed in eunuchs more.

Seeing that he was about to make a final decision, at this moment, Cao Huachun, the great eunuch who had been quiet and had not spoken, suddenly spoke: "I think Lord Lu is right!" ”

When he didn't speak, all the important ministers were overwhelmingly supportive.

But as soon as he opened his mouth, the direction of the wind suddenly stopped.

Just now, he was still helping Gao Qiqian to speak, making Lu Xiangsheng isolated, and turned around 180 degrees in an instant, and a high-ranking official who was helping Gao Qiqian to speak, immediately retorted: "Hey, I suddenly felt that what Master Lu said seemed to make some sense." ”

Another official stood up: "I think about it carefully, or Lord Lu is right, the fighter must not be lost, and I will counterattack." ”

Gao Qiqian was shocked in his heart, "Huh", why did Cao Huachun help him speak?

He turned his head to look at Cao Huachun.

Cao Huachun was also looking at him.

The eyes of the two big eunuchs collided with a "click" in mid-air, and sparks sparked for the first time.

Gao Qiqian really didn't understand why Cao Huachun wanted to go against him.

In fact, Cao Huachun himself was also surprised, and he didn't know why he wanted to stand up to help a foreign official, but he still spoke.

It wasn't until Gao Qi looked at it with a hostile eye that Cao Huachun understood that he still had a little conscience after all, he still wanted the Ming Dynasty to be better, and he didn't want personal grievances to ruin the best opportunity of the Ming Dynasty.

This moment is the highlight of his Cao Huachun's life!

Zhu Youzhen was about to make a final decision, but as soon as Cao Huachun opened his mouth, Zhu Youzhen's mood immediately changed, he believed in eunuchs the most, but Cao Huachun was also a eunuch beside him.

There is a high dive on the left, and a Cao Huachun on the right.

The palm of the left hand is meat, and the palm of the right hand is also meat, what can I do?
