The concept of high meritorious deeds has always been circling in Sun Chengzong's mind.

Zhu Youjian is indeed a very hardworking emperor. Since he took the throne, he has been facing the situation full of holes and tried his best to cure it. Unfortunately, the results have not been good. There are many reasons, but the biggest problem is still in the aspect of employment. After years of famine, the dynasty was on the verge of collapse due to the invasion of Houjin and the harassment of bandits.

The sudden birth of Su Tiancheng began to change this situation, and such changes were all carried out silently, from a simple beginning, a few years later, the court began to change, and a gratifying scene emerged , the sturdy Jiangning camp has brought great hope to the imperial court, but how long will such changes last.

It can be said that it is a wise decision for Su Tiancheng to apply for release after the second place in the high school palace examination. It is a wise decision to stay away from court disputes and party disputes. He won, but Su Tiancheng made great achievements, even shocking the court and the emperor.

The subsequent development does not need to be repeated.

What Sun Chengzong was worried about was that Su Tiancheng was already a governor and an official of the third rank. As a young man in his 20s, it was rare in ancient and modern times to reach such a height. This is an obvious reason, that is to say.From this moment on, Su Tiancheng will face all kinds of attacks, slander, slander and calculations, some from the imperial court, and some from the barbarians. The development of facts fully proves this point.

The attacks of court ministers and the calculations of barbarians.It's easy to talk about it, we can find a way to deal with it, but how can Su Tiancheng deal with the suspicion from the emperor.

In decades of official career, Sun Chengzong has seen too much. He even became a victim of the contest between imperial power and ministerial power.This kind of struggle is very cruel. The young Su Tiancheng was able to discover such a problem and put forward a crucial suggestion. The royal clan members entered the court to work for officials, which undoubtedly helped the emperor consolidate the imperial power. Favored by the emperor.

But the emperor is also human.When his ministers have too much power, too much credit, and even no rewards.What will happen, who knows.

Sun Chengzong believed that it was only a matter of time before the Jiangning battalion wiped out the bandits and pacified Liaodong. At this stage, in order to maintain the stability of the dynasty.For the development of the Ming Dynasty, the emperor can fully trust Su Tiancheng, but what to do in the future, or in the process of development, the emperor thinks that he has complete control over the situation.There is no need for Su Tiancheng to continue to do things, and he is even afraid that Su Tiancheng's power will be too great. At this time, something big will happen.

Su Tiancheng's power has increased, but it is not so easy to be overthrown. In the event of a violent conflict, the Ming Dynasty is likely to be destroyed.

Sun Chengzong had thought of this a long time ago. I believe not only he thought of it, but also some smart ministers thought of it, but everyone would not say it. Those who had a good impression of Su Tiancheng were secretly worried. Tian Cheng had an opinion, and even waited to see the joke.

Sun Chengzong is loyal to the emperor in his bones, so when he has to, as long as he still has a breath, it is to maintain the prestige of the emperor, but Sun Chengzong knows very well that he may not be able to wait until that day.

It is rare to live in the 75s. It should be because he has seen through many things and calmed down in his heart. Besides, Sun Chengzong is [-] years old. Although he is still in good health, his energy is obviously not good. Especially since he became the second assistant of the cabinet, he needs to worry about things. There are too many, if not for the proper care of the emperor, I really can't bear it.

It was precisely because at such an age that Sun Chengzong made a major decision to have a good talk with the emperor about Su Tiancheng, even if the emperor didn't want to listen, he had to say it himself.

Based on his own knowledge and accurate judgment of character, Sun Chengzong felt that Su Tiancheng was wholeheartedly for the Ming Dynasty, without any unreasonable thoughts. In history, there were not no such ministers who became the mainstay of the country.

Moreover, Sun Chengzong has already noticed that the emperor has some opinions on Wen Tiren, the chief assistant of the cabinet, and is vaguely preparing to let himself be the chief assistant of the cabinet.Although he is old, Sun Chengzong will not refuse such an opportunity, at least he can stabilize the situation.

With such trust in the emperor, Sun Chengzong felt that if he didn't say something, it would be his dereliction of duty and he felt uneasy.

There seems to be God's will in the dark.

Zhu Youjian summoned Sun Chengzong alone.

This is Zhu Youjian who is ready to make up his mind. After talking with Sun Chengzong, he plans to replace the chief minister of the cabinet. As for the ministers of the cabinet, they also need to adjust. Liu Zongzhou, Huang Daozhou and others have changed their thinking. Such capable people, It is also possible to enter the cabinet. Under such circumstances, the government may be able to take a new look.

Of course, Zhu Youjian is aware of the importance of employing people. Since he took the throne, he has always thought about the power of the dynasty. Now that the opportunity has appeared, how can he not seize it.

Wen Tiren has been the chief assistant of the cabinet for six years. He is more conservative than pioneering, and likes to form small groups. As a result, the party disputes within the imperial court cannot be resolved in a real sense.

Hall of Mental Cultivation.

In the hall, there were only Zhu Youjian and Sun Chengzong, and even Wang Chengen, who had been with Zhu Youjian all the time, did not appear behind Zhu Youjian.

Sun Chengzong needed such an opportunity.

"Sun Aiqing, I want to have a good talk with you. It's just me and you here. I hope Sun Aiqing can talk about everything."

"I am waiting for such an opportunity. I have a lot of thoughts in my heart, and I want to report them to the emperor."

Zhu Youjian was a little strange, he should have said it first, talk about the situation in the court, analyze the love affairs in the cabinet, unexpectedly Sun Chengzong took the initiative to speak first.

"Whatever Sun Aiqing thinks of, just say it."

"I have been thinking about it for a long time, and today I am bold. If I have something wrong, I ask the emperor to punish me."

"I've already said it. It's just you and me here. You can say whatever you want. Don't worry about it, Sun Aiqing."

"I want to talk about Huang Taiji first. It is not once or twice that I have fought against the Houjin Tartars. I have learned some things from the side for the needs of the battle. Since the Wanli period, the Houjin has fought many times in a small place. Against our Ming Dynasty, and achieved many victories, to be honest, at present, our Ming Dynasty has not completely wiped out Hou Jin's strength."

Zhu Youjian nodded. He didn't know why, but his heart was very calm. He listened to Sun Chengzong's words.

"I have thought of a question many times, why Houjin has such strength and why it can develop, although I can't fully understand the reason, but there is one reason, I have figured it out, and that is the open-mindedness in employing people. "

"Houjin has a small place and a small population. It is impossible to compare it with my Ming Dynasty. Therefore, there are not many civil and military talents under Huang Taiji. He can see everyone all the time. What ideas and suggestions do you have? , you can talk face-to-face, the biggest advantage of this is that you can communicate face-to-face, avoid conflicts and estrangements, and the top and bottom can be of one mind, and naturally a lot of things can be done well."

"I am getting older, I have seen many things, and I often wonder how many years I can live. Amidst such anxiety, I suddenly understood Huang Taiji's actions, and understood the four words "family, country, and world." .”

"For example, in the Ming Dynasty, the emperor had so many ministers of civil and military affairs, and so many subjects. Everyone had different ideas, but the most basic idea was to have enough food, a place to live, and clothes and beds. If you have enough food and clothing, if you meet these requirements, you may still think about more gold and silver treasures and a more comfortable life. Therefore, the minister concluded that many ministers, including the minister, still think about living in peace and stability. If you have a comfortable environment, you don’t want to worry about it.”

"Perhaps it's because I'm getting old. With this idea, I thought that Huang Taiji of Houjin might have achieved this, so he was able to make everyone work together. I also know that Huang Taiji has also experienced many things. He also took some extraordinary measures, otherwise he would not be able to stabilize his position."

"Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, Shang Kexi, etc., Huang Taiji canonized them the throne. This shows that Huang Taiji's ambition is extraordinary, but it also shows another problem, that is, Huang Taiji can accommodate all rivers."

"I said this to implore the emperor to think more. I have offended you. I suggest that the emperor accommodate ministers of civil and military affairs, especially those ministers who can make contributions to our Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Youjian's expression was always calm. He didn't show anger or dissatisfaction as usual. He looked at Sun Chengzong.

"Sun Aiqing, I understand what you mean. I really can't hear such words. Thinking about the court, there are so many civil and military ministers. It is impossible for me to talk to each other. I don't know what they are thinking. Sometimes I have to ponder, what are their thoughts, are they against me, are they speaking ill of me behind my back, thinking about it this way, the more troublesome they become, the more difficult it is for me to be safe."

"I want to thank Sun Aiqing for your reminder. I know that you are talking about Su Tiancheng. Many ministers in the court may have some ideas. Su Tiancheng has made such a great contribution, and he controls the Jiangning Camp. If the army has the idea of ​​treason, how can it be good? How can I have so many gold and silver treasures to reward? Maybe in the end, if I want to let the throne pass, I still have to control it in advance, so some people suspect, Su Tian Cheng wants to rebel, and asks me to be on guard, or even take action in advance, so that Su Tiancheng's wings cannot be fully fledged."

"I have thought a lot, and today I heard Sun Aiqing's words, and I completely understand. I know what to do. Don't worry, Sun Aiqing. If I don't do much in the future, or I can't control my emotions, Sun Aiqing will remind me more. "(to be continued...)
