Ming politicians

Seeing the emperor's imperial chariot from a distance, Su Tiancheng quickly dismounted and walked forward quickly.

When Zhu Youjian appeared in front of the imperial chariot, Su Tiancheng knelt down.

"Su Tiancheng, minister Ji Liao and governor, pay homage to the emperor, long live the emperor."

"Su Aiqing, hurry up and die. Today, I will lead all the civil and military officials to welcome Su Aiqing here. Su Aiqing is a hero of my Ming Dynasty, a hero of the world."

"I don't dare, my humble achievements all depend on the wiseness of the emperor."

With a bright smile on his face, Zhu Youjian personally helped Su Tiancheng up.

Seeing Zhu Shenxuan standing not far behind Su Tiancheng, Su Tiancheng blinked his eyes. Isn't Zhu Shenxuan serving as the governor of Shaanxi? Why didn't he know when he came to the capital?

Zhu Shenxuan had seen Su Tiancheng a long time ago, but on such an occasion, it was impossible for the two of them to embrace.

Jin Yiwei quickly brought the Houjin Tartars over. [

Daishan was at the front, and Zhu Youjian had a smile on his face, looking at Daishan who came over, it was a kind of winner's smile.

Dai Shan didn't intend to kneel down, Su Tiancheng, who was standing beside Zhu Youjian, spoke.

"Prince Li, don't you kneel down when you see my Majesty the Ming Dynasty? Don't you know the minimum etiquette of the Qing Dynasty? If you are so uncivilized, what qualifications do you have to be an enemy of our Ming Dynasty?"

Daishan's body trembled, looked at Zhu Youjian, and slowly knelt down.

"Prince Heshuoli of the Qing Dynasty, and Aixinjueluo Daishan, pay homage to the Emperor of Ming Dynasty."

"Daishan, I know you are uncomfortable, but I can tell you that one day, I will see Huang Taiji like this again. You belong to my commander of the Jianzhou Guard of the Ming Dynasty, and you don't want to serve the court, but want to rebel. Let you fool around. Don't have any illusions, this is your end."

Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Zhu Shenxuan, Su Tiancheng, Tang Shiji, Liu Zongzhou and others knelt on the ground and listened to the imperial decree.

"...Zhu Shenxuan was ordered to be a bachelor of Wuyingdian, and he was added as a prince and grand teacher. Su Tian was ordered to become a bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion and concurrently served as the governor of Jiliao. He is in charge of the Liaodong military..."

"... Tang Shiji is no longer a Bachelor of Martial Arts Hall because of his age, and he was granted the title of Grand Master of the Prince. Liu Zongzhou is no longer a Bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion because of his age, and he was granted the title of Grand Master of the Prince..."

Although in the imperial court.Many people already knew about this appointment, but when the imperial decree was actually announced, the hall was still very quiet. While everyone was envious, it could be said that Zhu Shenxuan was the vassal king.Serving as the second assistant to the cabinet is for the emperor to further consolidate the imperial power. As for Su Tiancheng's contribution, no one can compete with it.

The youngest cabinet minister in Ming history was born.

Su Tiancheng entered the cabinet at the age of 28, when Zhou Yanru, the chief assistant of the cabinet, entered the cabinet. At the age of 36, he was already very stunning. Compared with the current Su Tiancheng, he paled in comparison.

When receiving the imperial decree, Su Tiancheng had already understood Zhu Youjian's intentions. In fact, he never thought of rebelling or becoming an emperor at all.It's just that the inevitability of history has brought me to the cusp of the storm, and the reason for this is impossible for anyone to know.Thousands of years of feudal imperial thought.It's not that easy to change. Su Tiancheng didn't think of changing any system, didn't think of any plan for equality, freedom and democracy for everyone. What he thought of was to let the Ming Dynasty stand on top of the world. As for this situation, it can be How long it will last is something that future generations will worry about. It is impossible for him to control so much. He understands that the system is the most important thing, but in today's Ming Dynasty, except for scholars, more than 90.00% of the rest are illiterate. On such a basis, wouldn’t it be a joke for you to promote the system, the system to manage people and the system to manage affairs? Of course, it is possible to support the capital market in your own lifetime, and that will be many years later.

People respect me one foot, and I respect others ten feet. So many years have passed, and through many contacts, Su Tiancheng thinks that Zhu Youjian is still good. The shortcoming is the problem of ability. , As long as you are an emperor, you have this kind of thinking. The people around you have too much power, so who doesn't worry? Su Tiancheng has long since disbelieved the evaluation in history. After traveling for more than ten years, he has his own understanding.It must be difficult to dispel Zhu Youjian's doubts and suspicions, but it is not impossible. Maybe there may still be conflicts between myself and Zhu Youjian in the future, but what hasn't happened, don't think so much for now. There are many important things that need to be done. [

The ceremony above the main hall lasted for an hour.

Finally came to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

As a cabinet scholar, it is a matter of course for Su Tiancheng to enter the Hall of Mental Cultivation. Regarding how to deal with Daishan and the next move of Jiang Ningying, there was no discussion in the hall. This is also a normal thing, such a big thing , it is impossible to discuss it in the hall, and it is even more impossible for many civil and military ministers to fight over it.

Su Tiancheng knew very well that after entering the Hall of Mental Cultivation, he might have to discuss these issues.

Sure enough, Zhu Youjian got straight to the point.

"Aiqing, how to deal with Daishan, how to deal with these post-gold tartars, you can make suggestions."

Everyone looked at Su Tiancheng, including Yang Sichang, the chief assistant of the cabinet, all looked at Su Tiancheng.

Su Tiancheng didn't hesitate. If he didn't speak up about this matter, the rest of the people wouldn't. After all, Daishan was captured by himself and led the Jiangning battalion soldiers.

"Your Majesty, I have a suggestion for how to deal with Daishan."

"Although Su Aiqing said, even if you don't open your mouth, I'm going to ask you directly."

"I suggest that it is gratifying to exchange Daishan for Monk Geng Zhongming. Let's see if Huang Taiji of Houjin is willing."

After a brief silence, Zhu Youjian stood up.

"Great plan, great plan, this is a very good suggestion, very good."

Who are the people in the Hall of Mental Cultivation? They are all the elites of the Ming Dynasty. I don’t know how many things they have experienced. When Su Tiancheng made such a suggestion, everyone quickly understood. Everyone admired Su Tiancheng’s flexibility and felt it. Su Tiancheng's suggestion can be said to be to fight poison with fire and make Huang Taiji make decisions.

"Yang Aiqing, what do you think of this solution?"

"Your Majesty, I think Lord Su's suggestion is very good. Huang Taiji is obviously not an option. If the exchange is agreed, those Han people who have taken refuge in the Houjin Tartars will be chilled and dare not stay in Shenyang. Huang Taiji is sure. I don't want such a situation to happen, and if they don't agree to the exchange, how can those Manchus in Houjin give up, it can be said that Huang Taiji can hardly choose, and I think that Huang Taiji may choose to exchange."

After Yang Sichang finished speaking, Su Tiancheng spoke again.

"I think Master Yang is telling the truth. Maybe Huang Taiji agreed to exchange under the persecution of Manchu nobles, but the suggestion of my minister is not a sincere exchange. If Huang Taiji agrees to exchange with Geng Zhongming and Monk Kexi, The emperor can also propose that Fan Wencheng should also be handed over to the imperial court, and he can even ask the Houjin Tatars to withdraw from Heishan, Yizhou and Guangning, since Daishan was captured by my Ming Dynasty anyway, so it is the emperor's decision."

Zhu Youjian looked at Su Tiancheng, looking a little surprised. This word must be counted. Unexpectedly, Su Tiancheng had such a view.

Before Zhu Youjian could speak, Yang Sichang spoke again.

"Your Majesty, I think Master Su's plan is brilliant. The imperial court's proposal to exchange opinions on behalf of the benevolent is not for a real exchange, but just to use this name to disrupt the situation of Houjin, make Huang Taiji suitable for it, and make the stamina chaotic. The hearts of the people are scattered, and under such circumstances, our army will attack the Golden Tatars, and the chances of winning will be even greater."

Zhu Youjian is not a fool, and soon understood the meaning.

"Hehe, Su Aiqing, I didn't expect that you would actually think of these dirty tricks, but it's very good, I'm going to play Huang Taiji well, Daishan is in my hands, and I will accept any conditions." It came out, very good, King Jin is responsible for this matter, and must be done well."

Zhu Youjian directly named Zhu Shenxuan to be responsible for this matter, of course it was well thought out.

Soon, Zhu Youjian began to ask about Jiang Ningying's next move.

This time, Su Tiancheng did not hide anything.

Wang Chengen brought the map, the eunuch brought the table, and the map was spread out on the table.

Su Tiancheng walked to the side of the map. At this time, Zhu Youjian also walked to the side of the map. Many cabinet ministers gathered around the table and looked at the map.

Su Tiancheng pointed to Gai, Yaozhou and Haizhou and spoke.

"Your Majesty, my plan is to lead a large army to conquer Gaizhou, Yaozhou, and Haizhou at the end of the year or the beginning of the new year. I plan to divide my troops into two groups, starting from Fuzhou and attacking Gaizhou directly. They set out from the sea all the way to occupy Lianyun Island and attack Yaozhou from the sea. There are still more than [-] Jiangning battalion soldiers in Fuzhou, Xuanzhou and other places. , Nearly [-] soldiers were killed and wounded in battle. It will take a period of rest. I plan to recruit some sergeants. When I ambushed Daishan, I already understood that the decisive battle between the Ming Dynasty and the Houjin Dynasty has already begun. There is no turning back. , if you can't completely wipe out the Empress Jin Tartars, I will never withdraw my troops."

The Hall of Mental Cultivation was very quiet. No one doubted Su Tiancheng's words. Facts speak louder than words. Jiang Ningying wiped out the Zhenghongqi Tartars and captured Daishan alive, which is the best explanation.

"I remember that the emperor said that he wanted to see Huang Taiji at the Meridian Gate. I tried to capture Huang Taiji alive and bring him to the Meridian Gate."

It took a long time for Zhu Youjian to speak.

"Su Aiqing, I know your loyalty and bravery. The matter of exterminating the Golden Tartars is entirely up to you to decide. The Liaodong Frontier Army and Yulin Camp soldiers are at your disposal. I will wait at the Meridian Gate and look forward to seeing you." I hope you can bring Huang Taiji to the Meridian Gate, at that time, I will hold a celebration banquet for you at the Meridian Gate..." (to be continued...)
