Ming politicians

After resting and taking a bath, Lu Shanji returned to the mansion, declined all visits, and went straight to the study.

The emperor summoned the cabinet ministers to discuss the matter, and he soon found out that it was all said through the cabinet chief assistant Yang Sichang and the cabinet minister Liu Zongzhou. After learning about these situations, Lu Shanji's mood was very complicated.

The relationship between Lu Shanji and Sun Chengzong is extraordinary. After Sun Chengzong passed away, Lu Shanji’s pain can be replaced by human beings. Sun Chengzong found him immediately after resigning from the position of chief assistant of the cabinet, and talked about many things, the most important It is a series of things related to Su Tiancheng. Lu Shanji was very surprised by Sun Chengzong's explanations, and he had thought about it seriously. He originally wanted to find Mr. Sun Chengzong and ask him for advice. Unexpectedly, there would be no such opportunity. .

Sun Chengzong's most important request was that as long as Su Tiancheng was involved in the matters discussed in the court, he should tell Su Tiancheng without reservation, no matter it was beneficial or unfavorable to Su Tiancheng. [

Lu Shanji was appointed Minister of the Ministry of War, which was a very important position. He knew very well that he was able to serve as Minister of the Ministry of War because of Sun Chengzong, and his relationship with Yang Sichang was also good.

Lu Shanji was very surprised by what was discussed today, he couldn't figure out why the emperor brought up the matter of harmony that Huang Taiji mentioned again, this was decided long ago, there is no need to discuss it again.

After a long time in the court, Lu Shanji has his own analysis.Coupled with some reminders from Sun Chengzong, he has seen certain problems clearly.The court or the emperor's attitude towards Su Tiancheng may gradually change, and the consequences of this change may be disastrous. In the past few days, some officials and the imperial censor have been eager to make a move. They were discussing about Su Tiancheng.This is a dangerous signal, does it indicate a change in the emperor's attitude.

According to Lu Shanji's understanding, the emperor's proposal to discuss the Houjin Huangtaiji peace negotiation was not aimed at Houjin, or Huang Taiji, but at Su Tiancheng, with the deep meaning in it.It is necessary to limit Su Tiancheng's power.

This is never a good situation,

Whether to tell Su Tiancheng all these things, Lu Shanji was also a little hesitant.

After sending Sun Chengzong's coffin back to Gaoyang County, Lu Shanji stayed for two days before returning to the capital.Unexpectedly, so many things happened in the capital in a few days.

One side is loyalty to the emperor, and the other side is to tell Su Tiancheng all the situation according to Sun Chengzong's request, how to balance between the two.This is the choice that Lu Shanji needs to make.

When the housekeeper knocked on the door, Lu Shanji became impatient.

"Didn't I say so? Don't bother."

"Master, Sun Yue is here, saying that he has something to give to the master."

Lu Shanji hurried out of the study, and asked where Sun Yue was while walking. After learning that Sun Yue had arrived in the lobby, he walked quickly towards the lobby.

Seeing Lu Shanji come in, Sun Yue quickly knelt down.

"Uncle Lu, I have troubled you a few days ago. My father left a letter before he was alive, asking him to deliver it to Uncle Lu himself. Because my father passed away, he was a little negligent in handling the funeral. My brothers and sisters are still in Gaoyang. County, ask the younger generation to come back and hand over the letter to Uncle Lu, so as not to miss a big deal."

Lu Shanji was greatly surprised, and quickly helped Sun Yue up. All sons of Sun Chengzong's first seven had to guard the spirit. Under such circumstances, Sun Yue rushed back to deliver the letter, which shows the importance of the letter.

"Sun Yue, please send me a special letter. It's hard work, take a break, housekeeper, take Sun Yue to wash up and prepare dinner."

After the butler took Sun Yue out, Lu Shanji returned to the study with the letter.

After opening the letter, Lu Shanji looked carefully, and soon, his body began to tremble. The things mentioned in this letter were exactly the reason why Lu Shanji wanted to ask. Shocking the world, it's not something that Lu Shanji can understand immediately.

Until late at night, Lu Shanji still didn't come out of the study, obviously thinking about important issues. [

When approaching Zizi, Lu Shanji finally came out of the study, and the butler, shivering with cold, was still waiting outside the study.

Lu Shanji was a little moved. He was originally a man of pride, a man of Mongolian nationality, and it was rare for him to become Minister of War of the Ming Dynasty.However, he would not reveal his feelings easily. He saw and remembered the loyalty of the housekeeper.

"Has Sun rested?"

"Rest, master. Sun said that they will go back early tomorrow morning. After the first seven days, they will return to the capital to pay a special visit."

"Understood, I'm going to court early tomorrow morning, and I don't have time to see him off. Tell him, tell them brothers, including Lord Sun's family, to take care of your health. Your lord has already gone, so they must not have anything to do." Surprise."

"Master, my little one remembers."

When he was about to ask the housekeeper to rest, Lu Shanji suddenly thought of a question.

"Housekeeper, I have a question. I want to ask. You have been in my house for a long time, and you have always been very loyal. If something happens to me, or you are condemned by the court, what are you going to do?" .”

Actually asking this question is a bit redundant, Lu Shanji already made a decision in his heart, but he still wanted to ask.

"Master, the younger one has always followed the master. If the master has any accidents and needs the younger one to do something, the younger one will die. These are minor responsibilities. I dare not neglect them. The younger ones don't know what is going on in the court. It's just a small thing, but I think that the master will definitely be rich and powerful."

"Hehe, I can't say that you are very rich. Well, you can go to rest and see off your grandson tomorrow morning. Their brothers have worked very hard recently, so you must wait for me to greet you."

The butler nodded, turned and left.

The cold air made Lu Shanji more sober. All the things mentioned in Mr. Sun Chengzong's letter flooded into his mind. The letter had been burned, and it must not be left behind. With his chest churning, he made a very important decision.

His Majesty Sun Chengzong has seen through everything and told him all these facts. He even predicted that after the eradication of the Houjin regime, or even before the eradication of the Houjin Tartars, there may be major changes in the court. It appeared between Su Tiancheng and the cabinet, and it is likely to be between Su Tiancheng and the emperor next.

Lu Shanji had thought about this problem a long time ago, and also believed that this kind of situation was very likely to happen, but he didn't want to see such a situation. Over the years, especially when he was with Lord Sun Chengzong, Lu Shanji had already I can feel that Su Tiancheng is definitely not an ordinary person. He has extraordinary courage and foresight. He has personally watched the Jiangning Camp grow stronger. , it must be Su Tiancheng.

Everyone knows about the master of high meritorious deeds, and this cannot be avoided. Su Tian established such a great contribution, and the power in his hand is getting bigger and bigger, and it is very likely that he will conflict with the imperial power.

The solution is not without. On the one hand, the emperor has unusual insight and mind, and on the other hand, Su Tiancheng can know how to restrain himself properly. Unfortunately, the current situation is that Su Tiancheng is very restrained and has always been low-key. Since then, in order to wipe out the bandits and stop the invasion of the Houjin Tartars, they have tried their best to win the current situation, but the emperor is a little worried.

Lu Shanji felt such an atmosphere, let alone the ministers in the court.

The Chief Assistant of the Cabinet, Yang Sichang, has a good attitude towards Su Tiancheng, but how long this good attitude can be maintained is unknown. No one knows whether it will happen slowly over time. Lu Shanji can't guarantee changes, he believes that changes will definitely happen, it's just a matter of time.

What surprised Lu Shanji in particular was that Mr. Sun Chengzong entrusted all his family members to Su Tiancheng. This is actually an attitude, a very clear attitude. Such an approach explains everything. Mr. Sun Chengzong has already seen it Well, the achievements that Su Tiancheng can have are probably those of the ancients.

Needless to say, the role of Su Tiancheng, under the current circumstances, without Su Tiancheng, many favorable situations that appeared in the Ming Dynasty will probably disappear in smoke. The Ming Dynasty can't stand such a toss. I am afraid it is a very clear reminder.

In his heart, Lu Shanji hopes that the emperor can become a generation of Mingjun and lead the Ming Dynasty to become stronger. He also hopes that Su Tiancheng can continue to make contributions, destroy the later gold, and create a new situation. Such a monarch and minister will leave a strong mark in the history. a sum of money. [

It's a pity that this is just a wish, and such a situation may not necessarily happen.

Thinking of this, Lu Shanji's heart felt a little cold, which was somewhat consistent with this cold climate.

Mr. Sun Chengzong's final meaning is actually more clear, and it was also avoided by Lu Shanjifa, that is, he must make a choice at such a critical moment. The letter left by Mr. Sun is a high degree of trust in him. He would never implicate the boss, but he was very hesitant about the choice.

After some self-comfort, Lu Shanji felt that he should temporarily follow Sun Chengzong's request and inform Su Tiancheng of everything that happened in the court. , say something more for Su Tiancheng, maybe this situation can be changed slowly, and maybe the most beautiful situation will appear.

Lu Shanji's figure was printed on the door of the study, and after a while, he finally started to write a letter to Su Tiancheng. (To be continued.
