Han ride

Chapter 298
Lin Danhan's shit-stirring stick not only stirred up the whole Mobei, but even the world. Even if Zu Dashou's memorial was not sent to Chongzhen, Jinyiwei, Dongchang, and Xichang also sent such a big event to Chongzhen.Now Chongzhen will not be able to handle it.Who is Li Xin? Although he is the Northern Marquis of the imperial court, his influence is also outside the imperial court. This is a well-known fact in the imperial court.

In the Imperial Study Room, the Chongzhen Emperor, Zhou Yanru, Wen Tiren, Wu Zongda and other cabinet ministers were all listed one by one.What Emperor Chongzhen held in his hand was the memorial sent by Zu Dashou's flying horse.

"Li Xin returned to Yunzhong from near the Daling River a few days ago, and he must be on his way now. Gentlemen, let's see, can Li Xin deal with Lin Danhan's attack this time?" I was attracted by the words of Zu Dashou, "Dig out the grave of the slave chieftain Nurhachi, get his coffin, the Donghu redeemed it with a huge sum of money, and got a woman from the slave chieftain Huang Taiji, called Da Yuer." These words are like a knife The same pierced Chongzhen's heart fiercely, but his face remained unchanged, and he looked at everyone indifferently.

"If you go back to the emperor, I think that Li Xin will definitely defeat Lin Danhan this time." Although Wen Tiren is fond of power, he has some foresight. He only heard him say: "Li Xin has Shi Yuanzhi and others planning for him. As for Jiang Yi, Yang Xiong and others are rare fierce generals, when Li Xin is not in the cloud, these people can fight for Li Xin and fight for a large territory. Not to mention that the relationship between these tribes is not very good, they are like a piece of loose sand, and there is no danger at all. This time coincides with Li Xin's return, so Lin Danhan is not Li Xin's opponent."

"Then what do you think the imperial court will do?" Chongzhen nodded. What is Lin Danhan? He was defeated by Li Xin earlier, so he probably won't benefit from it this time.

"I think that although the current situation is still unclear, the outcome has already been determined. In this case, the imperial court should increase assistance to Li Xin at this time, so that Li Xin will be grateful to the imperial court." Wen Tiren's eyes turn.

"Your Majesty, I think it's inappropriate." Zhou Yanru glanced at Wen Tiren coldly, and said with a sneer, "Master Wen, I don't know if you are the emperor's courtier? Or Li Xin's courtier?"

"Master Shoufu, what do you say? I, Wen Tiren, am naturally the emperor's subject. I am loyal to the emperor, and the sky is the proof." Wen Tiren's beard trembled, and an angry light shot out from his eyes.

"Hmph, Li Xin is ambitious, but you, Mr. Wen, speak well of him. How can you be so intentional?" Zhou Yanru said disdainfully: "Your Majesty, Li Xin is ambitious and has big plans. We must guard against him. Not to mention the occupation of Phi Island in Dongjiang Town, the coffin of the captured enemy chieftain Nurhachi was not only not transported back to the capital, but was executed by the court, and he was also sold privately to Jian slaves to make peace with him. Tai Chi's wife and family, not enshrined to the emperor, but privately occupied, if this is not bold and reckless, what is it?"

"Mr. Zhou is very eloquent. Let me ask you, if Li Xin went deep alone, if he didn't return Nurhachi's coffin, would he be able to come back?" Wen Tiren said disdainfully: "Mr. Zhou lives in the temple, but he doesn't know the status of the soldiers. Suffering. No wonder Li Xin is unwilling to enter the capital to meet His Majesty. Lord Zhou, I have something I would like to ask Lord Zhou about. Li Xin set off from Shandong and planned to return to Yunzhong from Liaodong, but when Li Xin arrived in Liaodong, But it was discovered that near the Daling River, there was actually a slave chieftain, Huang Taiji, who personally led an army of 5 people to set up an ambush, waiting for Li Xin to take the bait. Hands, the 10,000+ army in the cloud will become the vanguard of Jiannu going south."

"There is such a thing?" Emperor Chongzhen was very surprised when he heard it, and looked at Zhou Yanru with a hint of disappointment in his eyes.

"Master Wen, this is interesting. The old man is in the capital and lives above the temple. He has never been to Liaodong once, let alone met Huang Taiji. How can he know what he thinks?" Zhou Yanru really didn't do anything bad this time. , but he has nothing to do, who made him have a bad relationship with Li Xin?As long as Li Xin has any unlucky things, it will basically be pushed on Zhou Yanru's head, and Zhou Yanru will be blamed, and it is the same this time.

Emperor Chongzhen showed a hint of disgust on his face when he heard this, and finally fell on Wu Zongda.Wu Zongda, whose name is Shangyu, is named Qingmen.A native of Wujin, Jiangsu.In the 32nd year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, Yang Shouqin was the third Jinshi on the list.He was awarded the editorship of the Imperial Academy.Promoted to Guozijian Jijiu.Served as the vice president of "Shenzong Veritable Records".In the third year of Chongzhen, he and Wen Tiren were promoted to Dongge University Bachelor and participated in the government.Soon, he added the title of Shaofu and entered Jianji Hall.In fact, his ranking in the cabinet is still higher than that of Wen Tiren, while Wu Zongda is an upright person, and it is difficult to show his talent for a while.He is decisive, lenient and moderate, and caring for others.Those officials who offend Tezhi always turn to Zongda for help. He is always kind to others and helps others as appropriate.Therefore, he is deeply loved and respected by courtiers and speech officials.It's just that this person is not good at juggling power, so in the cabinet, Wen Tiren has far more power than him.

"Mr. Wu, what do you think?" Emperor Chongzhen looked at Wu Zongda and said.

"Your Majesty, I think the court should not take any action at this time." Wu Zongda shook his head and said, "Actually, I also agree with Mr. Wen's opinion. Supporting Li Xin at this time will not only gain Li Xin's favor, but also make him feel like the Emperor." The grace of heaven is actually helping himself. Whether it is Lin Danhan or Jiannu, they are all enemies of the court. The desire to build slaves and destroy me is not dead, but there are dangerous passes such as Shanhaiguan in front of him. If we can set off from the grassland, with Li Xin around, it is impossible to let Jiannu go south, but if it is Lin Danhan, maybe this person will still take advantage of the fire to rob."

"Since this is the case, we should support Li Xin, but according to what Mr. said, why wait and see what happens?" Emperor Chongzhen immediately became interested.

"Your Majesty, the imperial court is out of money." Wu Zongda sighed: "The three armies are mobilized, and I don't know how much it will cost. Li Xin's cloud is on the grassland, and he is fighting Lin Danhan. If our army is mobilized, we will not only mobilize cavalry, There are also infantry, heavy soldiers, etc., who do not know how much food and grass they consume every day. In fact, the imperial court can’t come up with this money.”

After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen sighed deeply.If you are not in charge, you don't know Chai Migui. After becoming emperor, Chongzhen discovered what kind of country his elder brother left him.Looking at the courtiers in front of him, sometimes the Emperor Chongzhen wished he could send people to clean up the homes of these guys. According to the information from Jin Yiwei, these princes and ministers are very rich. Unfortunately, this kind of thing Chongzhen couldn't do it.

In fact, looking at history, it can be found that Emperor Chongzhen was a man of contradictions. On the one hand, he dug his heart out to some ministers, but on the other hand, he did not trust these ministers.On the one hand, he knows that the ministers below are all corrupt officials, and his family has more money than himself, the emperor, but he has no choice but to watch others wear gold and silver, but he even mends the dragon robe .

"So, the imperial court has no way to deal with this situation?" Emperor Chongzhen asked a little disappointed.He knew that Li Xin was in a critical moment, and if he could give Li Xin some support, Li Xin would definitely be grateful.In the future, he will have a little more favorable opinion of the court.

Chongzhen's words resounded in the hall, but unfortunately, there was no response at all.Zhou Yanru had a grudge against Li Xin, and he wished that Li Xin would be destroyed by Lin Danhan just like this. Although Wen Tiren was facing Li Xin, it was also to deal with Zhou Yanru, using Li Xin as a pawn, following the trend, if it cost a lot Strength, warmth and benevolence are not good, and although the old gentleman Wu Zongda is also loyal to the emperor and patriotic, it is a pity that a clever woman cannot cook without rice. Facing the impending collapse of the Ming Dynasty's finances, old Mr. Wu Zongda also has no money to spend.

Emperor Chongzhen felt very helpless, and finally he could only say: "In this case, what do the gentlemen think is good? Regardless of Li Xin, Yunzhong is also my Ming territory. If it is occupied by Lin Danhan, Lin Danhan's strength will be greater. Zeng, on the northern border of our Ming Dynasty, there will be another strong enemy." Emperor Chongzhen glanced at the crowd, and his face became even colder. The state affairs are like this. A small Jurchen is now growing and growing, and is always in crisis The Jiangshan Sheji of the Ming Dynasty even came to the capital, which made Emperor Chongzhen very embarrassed.If there is one more Lin Danhan, then the country of Ming Dynasty will be even more unlucky, and there will be another strong enemy on the northern border. He does not believe that Lin Danhan will be as easy to talk as Li Xin. Li Xin may be rebellious, but as long as If you don't mess with him, he will not threaten the border, but Lin Danhan is different. Once the Xuanfu is captured, the capital will be there soon.At that time, Emperor Chongzhen will have even more headaches.So we must support Li Xin, even in name.

"Your Majesty, Chen Xinjia is available." Wen Tiren rolled his eyes, and immediately realized that this was a good opportunity to recommend one of his own.Isn't Chen Xinjia, governor of Xuanfu, one of his people?
"What can Chen Xinjia do? Use the food and grass from the Xuan Mansion to support Li Xin? The Xuan Mansion doesn't even have much food and grass, right?" Zhou Yanru just couldn't understand Wen Tiren's appointment of private individuals, and he didn't want to think about how he promoted himself after he came to power. people?
"Your Majesty, I think that what Li Xin needs now is neither food nor reinforcements. Li Xin's soldiers and horses are enough to resist Lin Dan Khan. I think it is better to announce the order to the world and make Li Xin famous. Li Xin has made countless contributions to the court. It is enough to declare to the world that whether it is retiring from Jiannu, flattering Confucius and being virtuous, regaining the old land of the former Han Dynasty, or going deep into the enemy's territory, all of these can strengthen the prestige of our dynasty, and Li Xin may need the same." Wu Zongda said softly.
