After everyone left, there were only two people left in the military tent, except for Zhu Jinghong, the other was Sun Shaozu.

"You have been in the northwest for a long time, and you know a lot about the situation in Dzungaria and Zasak, and the tactics I proposed just now ...... How feasible do you think it is? ”

When Sun Shaozu was about to speak, Zhu Jinghong said again: "I want to listen to the truth, don't lie to me!" ”

So, Sun Shaozu could only hold back his fart, and then looked at the map seriously and thought about it.

"Thirteenth Master, the ministers who are attacking the city don't dare to say anything, but this strategy of running thousands of miles, the ministers think it is feasible!"

"Although it is thousands of miles away, as long as our army brings enough grain and grass, and the internal and external cavalry cooperate with each other, it will be difficult for the Dzungars to eat our army, and their army is coming...... As His Highness said, you can fight a decisive battle in advance! ”

Zhu Jinghong asked: "How can you be sure that even if the decisive battle is fought in advance, our army can win the battle?" ”

Sun Shaozu replied: "Thirteenth master, the strength of our army is already stronger than that of Dzungaria, as long as we don't command indiscriminately...... We will be able to win! ”

In fact, the reason is very simple, only in terms of the number of troops sent by the imperial court to the northwest, its comprehensive strength has surpassed that of Dzungaria, which is the confidence of Zhu Jinghong to formulate a strategy.

In comparison, Ning Huanxiang is too cautious, wanting to steadily compress the Dzungar defense line, which can but is extremely time-consuming and laborious.

"It's a pity...... Governor Ning has another idea! Zhu Jinghong said with a smile.

Sun Shaozu also sighed, but he was thinking about other things.

If you follow this Ning Huanxiang's style of play, how can I have a chance to make a meritorious return? Only according to the thirteenth master's way of playing......

No, it doesn't matter what kind of fighting style you follow, the key is to let the Thirteenth Master command the battle before I have the opportunity to make contributions......

The more Sun Shaozu thought about it, the clearer his goal became, and he was already planning how to put Zhu Jinghong in power.

First of all, you have to get Ning Huanxiang down......

The last thought that came to him startled him, but it was not annihilated in the end, but took root in his heart.

Zhu Jinghong would not know that someone had already figured out a way for him to take power, and he didn't need to take the initiative to arrange it at all.

And this proves once again that as long as there is the same interest orientation, the strongest community will be formed, and there is no need for superficial conventions or how.

"Thirteenth Master, it's time to eat!"

A beautiful female voice came, but it was Nuo Min reminding outside the tent.

Although her father wanted to take her back, he still couldn't beat Nuo Min after all, and in the end she stayed with Zhu Jinghong.

To put it bluntly, how many people want to give Zhu Jinghong a woman and don't have a chance, and there are very few people like Su He who try his best to shirk it.

It can be seen how much Su He loves his daughter, but it is precisely because of his love that he compromises when Nuo Min begs for trouble.

"After you go back, mark the situation of each department clearly on the map, and draw the latest situation on it!" Zhu Jinghong finally commanded.

"Yes!" Sun Shaozu responded.

Sun Shaozu retreated, and Nuo Min personally came in with a tray, and the smile on his face couldn't be hidden.

"Thirteenth Master, it's time to eat!" Nomin said as he approached.

"Today there are only four dishes, siu mai, hand-handled meat, and ......"

In the past two days, Nuo Min stayed by Zhu Jinghong's side, so he took over the errand of eating and drinking, and gave him everything he could do.

In addition to Baochai, Nuo Min is the second person to cook for Zhu Jinghong, which makes him feel a little touched in his heart.

"Thirteenth Master, after discussing things today, is there really going to be a big battle?"

"Hmm!"

"Wouldn't that kill a lot of people!" Nomin looked sad.

"There's no way around it!" Zhu Jinghong sighed.

"After the victory of the imperial court, will the matter be over?"

"Yes!"

Nomin has a lot of problems, although she was born in a fierce steppe tribe, she has a delicate and kind heart, which makes her personality shine.

"Thirteenth Master, someone outside claims to have come to meet him on the orders of His Royal Highness the Prince!"

Hearing that he came on the order of the prince, Zhu Jinghong was somewhat surprised, but then he ordered: "Bring it to me!" ”

At this time, Jia Lian was on the outskirts of the camp, and he was the one who was ordered to come.

The prince finally got Jia Lian an errand and asked him to be a minister in the Governor's Office, and asked Jia Lian to bring a letter to Zhu Jinghong by the way.

As long as the letter is handed in, Jia Lian can go to the governor's office on an errand.

Following the guards into the tent, Jia Lian saluted Zhu Jinghong on the main seat.

Although he was surprised by Jia Lian's coming, Zhu Jinghong still said calmly: "Get up!" ”

"What does the fourth brother pay?"

"Back to the Thirteenth Master, this is a letter from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince......"

Jia Lian handed out the letter, Nuo Min got up and took it, and then sent it to Zhu Jinghong.

When Zhu Jinghong opened the letter, Jia Lian hooked his waist and said: "This time the prince wrote a letter to ask the thirteenth master for a favor!" ”

"When the prince heard this, corrupt officials and corrupt officials were rampant in Gansu, so that the people were miserable, and the people had the tendency to expose the rod......"

The prince said...... The people can carry the boat or overturn the boat, so the people's will is unpredictable, and it is necessary to punish the corrupt officials for the grievances of the people......"

Jia Lian was talking, and Zhu Jinghong was listening and watching.

The prince's meaning is very clear, he hopes that Zhu Jinghong will persuade Wang Pei'an to strictly investigate the case, which is diametrically opposed to Zhu Jingyuan's intentions.

The prince supported the investigation and stood on the side of the so-called "clear stream", Zhu Jinghong was not surprised at all.

"Alas...... It's too late, a few days ago, the Rui Wangfu had already sent a message, let me write a letter to Changshi to persuade him to be cautious! ”

"If I have already written one, how can I write another? The fourth brother wants to be strictly investigated, why not send someone to persuade him personally? ”

"With his identity as the crown prince, how can Wang Changshi be afraid of treachery!"

It shows here that the prince is really doing great things and cherishing his life, and at this time he still wants to take care of his feathers.

Advocating for a strict investigation of corruption will not be a bad thing at any time, and it is unlikely to hurt its feathers.

The only bad result of doing this is that it may displease the emperor.

But it's just dissatisfaction, if the prince is stubborn, Zhu Xianming will really look up to him.

"This ......" Jia Lian looked embarrassed, and he didn't know how to deal with this matter.

This matter is beyond Jia Lian's ability to deal with, and he is extremely difficult at this moment.

At this time, Zhu Jinghong said: "I can't go back on my word, so I can only bother you to go for a trip and bring the meaning of the fourth brother to Wang Changshi!" ”

Jia Lian is not a fool, he knows how deep the water is in this matter, so he didn't agree to come down.

Jia Lian replied: "The minister thinks ...... It's better to give the prince first, and then it's not too late to deal with it! ”

It's just that after telling the prince, you have to reply, and it will take at least twenty days to go back and forth, and who knows what will happen during this period.

Zhu Jinghong said with a smile: "Hmm...... It's up to you! ”

"Have you eaten it?"

"This ...... The minister came all the way, and he hasn't eaten since noon! Jia Lian looked embarrassed.

Without waiting for Zhu Jinghong to speak, Nuo Min interjected on the side: "It just so happens that there is still food in the kitchen, and the son will take it himself!" ”

The reason why he wanted to interject was that Nuo Min was worried that Zhu Jinghong would leave Jia Lian behind and eat the meal he had prepared alone.

Seeing that Zhu Jinghong didn't speak, Nuo Min looked at the maid on the side and ordered, "Pearl, take the son down to eat!" ”

"Yes!"

Thinking about Nuo Min's identity and envying that there was no shortage of beauties around Zhu Jinghong, Jia Lian saluted: "Thank you Thirteenth Master!" ”

"Go, go, go!" Zhu Jinghong smiled calmly.

Jia Lian was taken away by Pearl, while Zhu Jinghong was accompanied by Nuo Min, and the two of them were eating dinner and chatting, not to mention how beautiful the days were.

Zhu Jinghong received a reply from Baochai on the first day of July and sent a letter to Wang Pei'an on the same day.

This reflects the importance of the eight-hundred-mile urgency, because this letter went through the ordinary official document circulation channel, so Wang Pei received the reply on the seventh day.

On the afternoon of the ninth day of the seventh month, Wang Pei'an finished his day's investigation and took the letter from the guards.

In the letter, Zhu Jinghong elaborated on the court situation and advised Wang Pei'an not to be a pawn of Qingliu, and let him put the investigation of the case aside first.

When the battle of the imperial court is over, he can investigate as much as he wants, and Qingliu and Zhao Yushan will not and cannot stop him at that time.

Only then did Wang Pei'an know that the situation had changed drastically, and that he had become the focus of the struggle between the two sides.

In the study, Wang Pei'an took the letter and walked to the candle, sighed and said, "Your Highness...... You really shouldn't have come to this letter! ”

Lighting the letter with a candle, Wang Pei'an continued: "In this way...... You're also involved in a party fight! ”

"Originally, you were already infamous, but now if you are targeted by Qingliu again, I am afraid that it will be even more difficult in the future!"

Wang Pei'an's vision has always been very accurate, he is only limited by the lack of news in the lower position, otherwise he would have seen through the situation of the court would have seen through it a long time ago.

Although he is rigid, he is by no means brainless, and now that he knows that things have "gone sour", he will not be used as a gun.

In fact, it doesn't hurt to be a gunman, but the problem is that if you really follow the purpose of the clear stream and mess up the northwest and cause the front to suffer a defeat, then it is the people of the northwest who will suffer in the end.

In the face of major rights and wrongs, Wang Pei'an will not be confused.

Although the letter had been burned, Wang Pei'an recalled the last few paragraphs of the letter, Zhu Jinghong really proceeded from the overall situation and warned him that he must supervise the transfer of grain, grass and ordnance, which is the cornerstone of the victory of the front-line army.

The victory or defeat of the counterinsurgency war, the survival of the imperial court officers and soldiers, and the expectations of the soldiers' relatives are all due to Mr. ......

In the last sentence of the letter, Zhu Jinghong infinitely promoted Wang Pei'an's role, and the deep purpose was to keep him in the Guannei, so as not to restrain him when he came to his side.

"Supervising the transfer of ordnance, grain and grass is not only for the front-line support, but also for the transfer of grain and grass for the military and civilians, I still have a lot to do!" Wang Pei'an muttered in a low voice.

Obviously, he adopted Zhu Jinghong's opinion.

Wang Pei'an was a resolute man, and the next day he showed a different attitude, just because his main direction of investigation was no longer corruption, but to inspect the transfer of grain and grass by various yamen.

A few days later, the news came, which relieved a large number of officials in Gansu.

These people were really frightened, and now they dare to mess around under Wang Pei'an's nose, so the money and food of the people have been fully allocated, so that his name as Wang Qingtian resounded in the northwest.

Seven or eight days later, the news from the northwest reached the capital, and the court discussion at this time had not yet reached a result.

It is now July 18, and there are only a few days to go, and the two factions have held eight debates, but no result has been reached.

The most critical reason for this is because Zhu Xianming did not express his position.

But in fact, Zhu Xianming's attitude is already obvious.

As the emperor, of course, he can't say that he can't check it, so he needs to be mentioned by his ministers, and he has to go through court discussions.

Chongzheng Hall is the place of the Chang Dynasty, the Chang Dynasty is carried out once on the first day of every decade, except for the first day of the month, the big court meeting is used here at most twice a month.

But in July, in the past eighteen days, and in addition to the six times that the Chang Dynasty had used it here, five of them were held.

Originally, the court meeting was held in the Qianqing Palace, but although the scope of the senate was expanded, the Qianqing Palace was moved here.

The Chongzheng Palace of this matter is in the sixth court meeting, and the three times in the Qianqing Palace are already the ninth.

There were more than 70 people at the scene, including the cabinet ministers and the six ministers and the inspectorate, plus the five temple officials, as well as the six departments to the middle of the matter, the bachelors of the Hanlin Academy, and the Chunfang officials of the Zhan Mansion.

The two sides are clearly distinguished, and at the moment they are on one side, speaking in turn to explain their own views, or refute the other side's views.

The one who is speaking at this moment is Zhou Xinyang, the imperial history of the Inspectorate.

His attitude is to support a strict investigation of the case, which is simply to side with Chen Jinyun, which can be called a "clear stream".

"Bad morals and harms reason, nothing is more than selfishness, and there is nothing more important than bribery, the so-called ......"

Zhou Xinyang talked endlessly, but he was facing the empty throne, and standing next to him was Lu Tong, the eunuch of the master of ceremonies.

On the left and right of Lu Tong, there were also the eunuchs Dai Quan and Liu Zhong of Bingbi, and the three of them listened on behalf of the emperor.

But at this time, Zhu Xianming was in the hall, but between the rows of tall bookshelves on the east side, he was holding the report sent back by Gansu Jinyiwei.

Gansu Jinyiwei is rectifying, and the newly arrived Qianhu has begun to take charge, which is the situation report he sent back.

In recent days, Wang Pei'an's methods have been "reined in" a lot, and the news that few officials have been imprisoned has come to the news, which means that this matter is slowly cooling down.

took the report to Cheng Ying, who was following behind, and Zhu Xianming knew that it was time for the matter to come to an end.

On the whole, there are still many people in the court who see the wind and steer the rudder, and now the support has been given priority to the overall situation, and the voices of suspending the investigation of the case have occupied the majority.

When Zhu Xianming thought about this, he heard the voice of the court suddenly become louder, but the order of the two parties was out of control and sprayed each other.

"Everyone, pay attention to your manners, pay attention to your manners......"

"Discuss matters, don't talk about other things......"

Because the court meeting is a closed-door meeting, there is no discipline of the courtesy officials, and at this moment, it can only be suppressed by the three celebrants.

But there were so many people at the scene, how could the three of them be able to suppress it, which led to the situation not only not being controlled, but more and more people participating in the scolding war.

This situation has also occurred a few times before, and in the end, the two ministers were able to suppress their speeches, but today these two are staring at each other with cold eyes.

Seeing that the scolding war was about to turn into a physical conflict, Zhu Xianming also knew that it was time for him to make a statement, and he thought that this was also the mind of his two good courtiers.

"Your Majesty has arrived!"

With the eunuch's loud shout, the people who were still clamoring quieted down and quickly returned to work to arrange their court clothes.

After a few breaths, accompanied by several eunuchs, Zhu Xianming, dressed in ochre yellow gown, appeared from the east side door.

All the officials present immediately knelt on the ground, and then shouted to worship: "The ministers knock on Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”

After taking his seat, Zhu Xianming did not ask everyone to get up, but picked up the music book on the table and looked at it, which was the original sent back by Wang Pei'an on June 23.

It was this recital that caused a scolding war in the imperial court for more than 20 days, so that now it has not passed the approval of the vote, and it is enough to compete for the longest time to draw the vote.

After watching for nearly a minute, when the knees of the officials present were uncomfortable, Zhu Xianming finally spoke: "They are all virtuous people in the first and first ranks, but now they are like villains in the market, abusing each other and even wanting to do something, you are really my good ministers!" ”

"If today's events are spread, the people of the world will not talk about you, but will only scold me for being a dumb and unknown mediocre monarch, otherwise there will be such a ridiculous thing between His Majesty!"

These officials present are all well-educated people in the first and first grades, and of course they know the truth that "the king is worried about the humiliation of the ministers, and the kings are humiliated and the ministers die".

Therefore, when the emperor convicted himself, everyone present prostrated again, and shouted very neatly: "Wait for ten thousand deaths!" ”
