Chapter 247 Shang Ren pleads for mercy

Cao Yi was surprised when he heard what Lin Cunde said!

Seeing him like this, Lin Cunde knew that he was worried, so he said with a smile: "Such a big matter, you must return to Beijing to report on your duties. Moreover, not only do you have to report on your duties, but the two deputy general soldiers will also be transferred soon." , but don’t worry, His Majesty will not punish you, on the contrary, he will reward you, even a lot!"

Cao Yi had a wry smile on his face at this moment and could only shake his head and said: "I don't dare to think about the reward, but this time, we are indeed responsible!"

"General Bing Cao, what kind of character is Your Majesty? I know that you have contributed a lot in Liaodong Town this time. Your Majesty will not deny this. But who will guard Liaodong still needs to be decided by Your Majesty! You come with me back to the capital, if It doesn't matter if you don't worry, I can write a memorial to Your Majesty, allowing you not to go to the capital!" Lin Cunde looked at Cao Yi with a smile and said.

"No, no, no!" Cao Yi waved his hands quickly, then nodded and said, "I'll go, I'll definitely go!"

"Well, you can relax. If something really happens, I will definitely help. Moreover, when you return to Beijing this time, I estimate that there will be a lot of things for you to do. Of course, I can't tell you what specific things to do right now. , but this time, you may also get a blessing in disguise!" Lin Cunde still said with a smile, while taking Cao Yi to sit down at the tea table!

Lin Cunde began to make tea. Cao Yi was still worried. He didn't know how the court would deal with him. However, he was confident in one thing, that is, Zhu Qiyu would not kill him. As for whether he would be reused, he had no idea. And Zhi knew that he was promoted by the Supreme Emperor after all.

Lin Cunde drank tea with Cao Yi and talked about things in Liaodong Town.

In the next few days, Lin Cunde had nothing to do and would not interfere in the military affairs of Liaodong Town. Lin Cunde had received a letter and officials from the Ministry of Personnel had arrived. When they arrived, he would take the troops of the Third Battalion of the Capital with him. Go back, and you have to take those prisoners back with you. In addition, Cao Yi must follow him!

And Xu Xianyong and the others also arrived in Qianbei Town!

Xu Xianyong, Shi Heng, Yang Xiangzheng, and Liang Dong have nothing to do. They just come to Lin Cunde to chat together every day. The same goes for Cao Yi, Xiao Yijun, and Chen Dangli!

Lin Cunde has several generals sitting together every day.

Ten days later, officials from the capital arrived. Lin Cunde took everyone to the south gate of Qianbei Town to greet them. Shangluo, the left minister of the Ministry of War, was the leader. Shangluo was the cabinet minister and the left minister of the Ministry of War. Lin Cunde saw Shangluo coming and faced Shangluo. hand over,

After a greeting, he took the officials and entered the military tent in Qianbei Town!

Shangluo began to read out the imperial edict, including praise for Cao Yi and others, and summoning Lin Cunde to lead the third battalion of the capital back to the capital. Xu Xianyong led 10,000 cavalry and 10,000 infantry to station in Qianbei Town to assist the Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of War in handling Liaodong. Town thing!

In addition, it was announced that Cao Yi would return to Beijing with Lin Cunde to report on his work!

After Lin Cunde and the others saluted, Lin Cunde sat on the main seat. Although Shangluo was an imperial envoy, he was not enough to watch in front of Lin Cunde and Shi Heng!

Moreover, Lin Cunde is also the chief military officer of Shanhaiguan!

Shangluo was very excited when he came this time, not because he wanted to deal with the generals in Liaodong Town, but because he also wanted to beg Lin Cunde for help!

And this time, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Personnel, and the cabinet have already discussed that officers and soldiers who show no signs of rebellion will not be punished, but will be assessed and transferred. One-third of the officers in Liaodong Town will be transferred to the customs. At the same time, Some officials were promoted from the pass and came to Liaodong Town!

It is not yet certain who will stay, Chen Dangli or Xiao Yijun. We need to wait for the results of the assessment to come out.

In addition, local officials also need to be rectified. After all, they have finally arrived. Zhu Qiyu wants to rectify some Liaodong towns.

Lin Cunde chatted with the officials for a while, and Cao Yi discovered that the ministers respected Lin Cunde very much, but they were very indifferent to Shi Heng!

"At noon, I have hosted a banquet. We have worked hard all the way. From now on, I will leave the affairs here to everyone. As I said, the stability of Liaodong Town is the most important, but we still need to carefully investigate the traitors who are lurking!" Lin Cunde Sitting there, looking at the servant, he said.

"Don't worry, Uncle Luling, everything is based on facts!" Shangluo said first.

Lin Cunde also nodded, then looked at them and said: "In the past few days, I have also heard General Cao say that the Jurchen tribe in Liaodong is becoming stronger and stronger, and has cooperated with Wala many times. You also need to investigate this matter. Fancai, you are important ministers of the Ming Dynasty. The policies you formulate are related to the long-term peace and stability of the Ming Dynasty. For the Jurchens in Liaodong, we still need to be reminded and restrained. We cannot let them get bigger and give birth to another one. Come on, come on, how can I, the Ming Dynasty, be at peace?'

Of course, you can also say that it is our generals’ business, but if you civil servants don’t support it, how can we, our generals, fight? Mr. Shang, you are a cabinet minister. Your cabinet needs to form a unified understanding of these matters. In the future, what changes should I, the Ming Dynasty, make in dealing with tribes and chieftains who have rebellious intentions? Is there any benefit in being blindly gentle? These are What you civil servants like to discuss is what a heavenly kingdom, a land of etiquette! It’s also what you say every day!

But the country of etiquette, the kingdom of heaven, cannot be invaded by foreigners every day, right? Daming is powerful, but no matter how powerful the tiger is, he still takes a nap. Wasn't the battle of Tumubao enough to alert everyone? "

Lin Cunde looked at the ministers as he spoke, and those ministers all stood up and saluted Lin Cunde. Shangluo was in front and said to Lin Cunde: "Earl, we will investigate this matter. Regarding the Haixi Jurchen Tribe and the Beishan Jurchen Tribe, This time we will definitely make a decision!"

"That's good. You are all ministers of the DPRK. Now that you have come to Liaodong Town, you must learn about Liaodong Town. It will only be shallow if you understand it on paper. This will also be helpful to me, Ming Dynasty, in formulating Liaodong's policies! Other words , I won’t say more!” Lin Cunde nodded, looked at them and said.

None of the ministers felt that Lin Cunde was not qualified to say this. On the contrary, they all knew that Lin Cunde was the adviser behind Zhu Qiyu. Lin Cunde helped Zhu Qiyu stabilize the court situation several times. Zhu Qiyu also trusted Lin Cunde. What Lin Cunde said, if you Just treat it as if it's just a deaf ear, then wait. When the time comes, you will be asked by His Majesty, and you will be in trouble if you don't know all the answers.

And Cao Yi and the others looked at Lin Cunde reminding the civil servants, and those civil servants were still so obedient. It was strange, when did the military generals of the Ming Dynasty become so powerful? He was still such a young general, basically a count, and those civil servants were not without Fighted! What he didn't know was that Lin Cunde had fought against them, and Lin Cunde had won. Shangluo was one of his defeated generals at the beginning.

"Well, okay, General Cao, can you arrange a place for them to rest?" Lin Cunde looked at Cao Yi and asked.

"Sir, everything is ready!" Cao Yi stood up and said with his hands in hand.

Lin Cunde then looked at Shang Ren and the others and said, "Let's take a rest first. Everyone is tired. It's still very cool indoors in Liaodong Town!"

"Yes, sir, let's take our leave now!" Shang Ren and the others said to Lin Cunde, before exiting.

Lin Cunde also stood up. He had to prepare for his return tomorrow. Some orders needed to be issued. Moreover, Xu Xianyong was guarding Liaodong Town, and he also needed to explain some things!

When Lin Cunde returned to his residence, he sent someone to call Xu Xianyong and began to explain the affairs of Liaodong Town. He was not afraid that the soldiers would mutiny, but that the civil servants would expand the interrogation and frame Zhongliang. If he was not here, those civil servants would be brave It’s big!

Xu Xianyong firmly believed in Lin Cunde's words!

Lin Cunde told Xu Xianyong that once those ministers were suspected of amplifying the situation, they should immediately write a secret report to His Majesty, or send someone to inform him!

There is also the continued search for the remnants of Wala's soldiers hiding in Liaodong Town. Although they have not been found yet, Lin Cunde is not yet relieved!

After confessing to Xu Xianyong, Lin Cunde began to pass orders and the army would set off tomorrow!

In fact, the army has been prepared for a long time, and they also know that the troops may arrive in Beijing at any time, so many supplies have been loaded on the carriage!

After Lin Cunde's order was conveyed, Lin Cunli was also packing Lin Cunde's things!

In the evening, after Lin Cunde finished eating, he was ready to go outside for a walk. At this time, Shang Ren came!

Lin Cunde could only welcome Shang Ren in and prepare to make tea.

"Uncle Luling, I have something to ask you this time!" Shang Ren stood there and said to Lin Cunde who was preparing to make tea.

After hearing this, Lin Cunde was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Shang Ren in confusion. He had no contact with him, and the previous time was because they attacked Wang Ying first, so he had never chatted with him. At this time, Shang Ren actually Say you have something to ask of yourself.

Although Lin Cunde was a little surprised, he found that Shang Ren was actually a little nervous, so he smiled and said: "Sir Shang, if you have anything to do, just say it, no matter what you ask for!"

Shang Ren immediately smiled bitterly!

"Sit down and talk, what's the matter, why do you, a cabinet minister, come to me, a seventeen-year-old boy?" Lin Cunde looked at Shang Ren with a smile.

Shang Ren shook his head and said: "No one dares to treat you as a young man. Not only do I want to ask you, but Chen Xunge, Gao Gu! Wang Zhi from the Ministry of Personnel, and other officials from the six departments also want to ask you. I hope you can help me!"

"Huh? What's the matter? I don't know anything about government affairs!" Lin Cunde couldn't help frowning, but he immediately thought that it probably happened before Shanhaiguan. Thinking of this, Lin Cunde understood in his heart that they were afraid that Zhu Qiyu would deal with them.

"Sir, your majesty has won great reputation in this battle, and the Wala no longer poses a huge threat to our Ming Dynasty. Even if the Wala comes to sneak attack in winter, my Ming Dynasty has the third battalion of the capital and can defeat them at any time. Therefore, Your Majesty The government must be rectified! We also know who the emperor and his ministers are this time! Therefore, we estimate that His Majesty may start to transfer the cabinet, six ministries, and local officials!" Shang Ren stared at Lin Cunde and said, wanting to see Lin Cunde's expression changed.

Lin Cunde showed no expression, he was just making tea!
