Ming politicians

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was the autumn harvest season. Su Tiancheng attached great importance to this autumn harvest. No matter how he developed business, the first condition was to enrich his own foundation. For example, food must be sufficient, the common people must have enough food and clothing, and economic development He is very clear about the rules of the sea, blindly relying on commerce and trade, not paying attention to its own accumulation, it will be difficult to maintain a prosperous situation in the end. Of course, the role of Weihaiwei Wharf, to a certain extent, is still based on fair trade. Lord, only by adhering to such a principle can we ensure the continuation of business and trade, which is the track of healthy development.

After the autumn harvest, facing the conquest of Houjin, it is about to begin. It has been more than a month since the emperor's imperial decree arrived at Su Tiancheng's place, and it cannot be delayed any longer. There was no imperial edict in the imperial court, nor did the emperor issue a decree to urge him, but Su Tiancheng knew a thing or two about the thoughts of the adults in the imperial court, and Qu Qingze also learned about it in detail through many channels. In the imperial court, some people said that Su Tiancheng Tian Cheng respected himself, but he didn't want to conquer the Empress Jin Tartars, and some people said that Su Tiancheng wanted to usurp more power and so on. Although these discussions were private, they were very damaging and spread to the emperor. I believe that the emperor will be more suspicious, because this is a direct threat to the imperial power, and it is more sinister than those so-called restrictions on imperial power.

Zhu Shenxuan indeed played a huge role, explaining to Yang Sichang why Su Tiancheng did not conquer Houjin for the time being, and then explained to the emperor together with Yang Sichang, the so-called soldiers and horses did not move food and grass first, such a large-scale conquest, If we cannot make good logistical preparations, the problems we will face in the future will definitely be huge.In addition, Yang Sichang also understood the complexity of this battle, and agreed with this point of view.

The Forbidden City, the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

After the imperial edict was given to Su Tiancheng, Zhu Youjian was not in a good mood all the time, and it was because of Su Tiancheng's delay in holding back.Although there are some reasons for this, Zhu Youjian is just worried, thinking that Su Tiancheng did not act in accordance with the requirements of the imperial edict, and that Su Tiancheng did not act in accordance with the requirements of the imperial edict.Although Su Tiancheng wrote a secret book, he specially explained it.

Zhu Youjian is clear about the discussions in the imperial court. He feels threatened, a real threat, and he wants to talk about the former rogues and the current post-gold Tartars.It is impossible to get the support of the scholar-officials. Everyone still supports the imperial power, thinking that the imperial power is the most orthodox, but Su Tiancheng has developed, and the situation is hard to say. In addition to Su Tiancheng's achievements in various places, the people who support it are also A lot of.If under such circumstances, it is possible to replace the Zhu family's rule of the world.

Once there is a change in his inner thoughts, it's hard to say anything, and doubts will run through him all the time. Ever since Su Tiancheng arrived in Dengzhou, Zhu Youjian's worries have increased day by day. Due to the situation facing Daming, Zhu Youjian can't Other decisions were made, and Su Tiancheng had always done well.He has always obeyed the imperial court, and Zhu Youjian couldn't find any reason to make the decision to take measures against Su Tiancheng.

When Yang Sichang and Zhu Shenxuan entered the Hall of Mental Cultivation, there was no smile on Zhu Youjian's face.

"Yang Aiqing, King Jin, it's already autumn harvest season." [

Zhu Youjian said a short sentence.The faces of Yang Sichang and Zhu Shenxuan changed. They also knew about the rumors in the court. It can make the emperor less suspicious, in order to make the conquest go smoothly.

But the emperor was getting more and more worried, and the two of them knew it well. Logically speaking, the two of them had made a lot of explanations, and Su Tiancheng also had a secret explanation to explain it. The emperor shouldn't have so many worries. The repeated inquiries can only explain one problem, that is, the emperor is already very worried about Su Tiancheng.

Yang Sichang's mood was a little calmer, but Zhu Shenxuan's was different.

He is clear about Su Tiancheng's preparations and inner thoughts. Judging from the emperor's attitude, Su Tiancheng's worries are completely justified. Before the Golden Tartars were wiped out, something would happen to Su Tiancheng himself, and many ministers and military officers who followed Su Tiancheng were also facing the fate of being purged, including himself.

The previous method of defending Su Tiancheng cannot be used now, otherwise it will arouse even greater suspicion from the emperor. At this time, we can only do the opposite. I am afraid that this is the best way to protect Su Tiancheng There is a way.

Seeing what the emperor said, Zhu Shenxuan looked at Yang Sichang, and spoke first.

"Your Majesty, I think that the autumn harvest season is coming, and Mr. Su is going to go to war. If you continue to make excuses, your Majesty will order to reprimand you."

Just as Zhu Shenxuan finished speaking, Yang Sichang immediately spoke.

"Your Majesty, I think it's inappropriate. Master Su once led a large army to conquer Mongolia under the condition that the Houjin Tatars surrendered to me on the surface. This changed the situation in the Mongolian grasslands and dealt a severe blow to the Houjin forces. From this we can see that, Master Su is fully prepared, and knows when he can launch an attack. The minister has analyzed it specifically. This time the conquest is a decisive battle between the Ming Dynasty and the Houjin Tartars. Life and death are at stake. The more important the battle is, the more important it is. The more we need to make detailed plans, we must consider all aspects before we can start a large-scale conquest, and there can be no negligence in the slightest."

What Yang Sichang said is true, and it is also an opinion formed by him after many discussions with Zhu Shenxuan and other cabinet ministers, and has withstood the pressure from all sides. This opinion, Yang Sichang has also mentioned several times in front of the emperor. Of course, Yang Sichang is also aware of the emperor's worries, but at such a critical moment, the emperor needs to keep calm and not get agitated, even if he has suspicions, don't reveal it.

The thoughts of Yang Sichang and Zhu Shenxuan are completely different in this respect.

As Zhu Shenxuan, he has been in the vortex of power struggle for a long time, and deeply understands the cruelty of power struggle. Since he fully supports Su Tiancheng's opinion, he must go all out to maintain it, or mediate from it, to fight for Su Tiancheng. Going to a larger and more space is closely related to his own safety, but Yang Sichang doesn't think so, Yang Sichang still thinks that he can maintain the imperial power, even if the emperor suspects Su Tiancheng, he will have to wait until the Jinta is wiped out. He will take action after his son's battle is coming to an end. As for whether Su Tiancheng will really threaten the imperial power, that is not something he needs to consider now.

The different opinions between Zhu Shenxuan and Yang Sichang made Zhu Youjian feel a little surprised. This is a rare situation. For such a long time, Zhu Shenxuan has always explained for Su Tiancheng. Zhu Youjian can also do this I understand, after all, Su Tiancheng is Zhu Shenxuan's brother-in-law. The last time Zhu Shenxuan went to Dengzhou to announce the decree, there was no unusual behavior. The time spent alone with Su Tiancheng was no more than a quarter of an hour, and Zhu Shenxuan left soon. Dengzhou returned to the capital, and the people from Jinyiwei and Dongchang who followed him did not find any problems.

Zhu Youjian has not doubted Zhu Shenxuan yet. After all, Zhu Shenxuan can become the cabinet assistant. This is the result of his promotion. In terms of his own influence, Zhu Youjian is still very confident. He has always believed that , The decisions I have made are very good, especially over the years, the imperial power has been greatly stabilized, and Ming Dynasty is also developing on a normal track. Once the Houjin Tartars are completely wiped out, my grand strategy , it can be fully realized.

Zhu Youjian would not doubt Yang Sichang, the chief assistant of the cabinet, Yang Sichang, who could make decisions according to his wishes, and did not show too much dissatisfaction when the power of the cabinet was suppressed. This is very good, unlike the former chief minister of the cabinet, the first thing he thought of was to consolidate his own power. [

What kind of thoughts Su Tiancheng has, Zhu Youjian can't be sure, it's impossible to rest assured, after all, Su Tiancheng has too much power, Zhu Youjian spent a lot of thought on the imperial decree to Su Tiancheng last time, Regarding the mobilization of the Jiangning battalion, Su Tiancheng can exercise power and make decisions on his own, but in terms of mobilizing the rest of the army, he still has to go through the Ministry of War and the cabinet. For example, the frontier army in Liaodong cannot be mobilized at will. .

Zhu Youjian also thought about whether he ordered Su Tiancheng to be urged for a while, and he also thought about how to urge him.

By this time, Zhu Youjian had come to a conclusion in his heart.

He did not refute the opinions of Yang Sichang and Zhu Shenxuan, but spoke slowly.

"I think that the autumn harvest season is here, and all the preparations that Su Aiqing needs are basically sufficient. This time is the best time to go on an expedition. I have already made a decree, so there is no need to repeat it. Urge it, and see what Su Aiqing is thinking, so that the imperial court can prepare to respond."

Yang Sichang was about to speak again, but he felt that this was the result of the emperor's deliberation. It is said that it is inappropriate for the Ministry of War to issue an edict. Su Tiancheng is a cabinet minister. If he wants to urge him, it should be the cabinet's opinion directly. The emperor It's not that I don't know the meaning of this layer.

There was no expression on Zhu Shenxuan's face, but in his heart, he once again affirmed that Su Tiancheng's arrangement was appropriate. Once the Jiangning camp wiped out the Hou Jin Tartars, some things in the early Ming Dynasty were likely to repeat themselves. When the time comes, it will definitely be too late to make corresponding preparations. (To be continued.
