Hong Chengchou said so much and announced his plan in front of everyone, but he did not discuss it in detail with his immediate boss, Master Sun, the governor of Liaodong. Today there are some suspicions of overstepping, so he apologized.

He glanced at Sun Chengzong.

Sun Chengzong smiled relaxedly: "I just said that I am old and have no energy and strength to do anything else. When the situation is critical, I can use my old bones to suppress those arrogant soldiers. But after

In this battle, you, Mr. Hong, have become famous and impressed the three armies. Your abilities are also reassuring and have exceeded everyone's expectations. So I have written a proposal for becoming an official and sent it to the cabinet yesterday, and recommended you.

By succeeding me as the governor of Liaodong, you can move freely without any restrictions."

Hong Chengchou was shocked at that time and quickly saluted: "Master Sun, you must not do it. I am young and have little knowledge, how can I take on such a big responsibility? Without you always in charge, I have no confidence. If you have something to do, you can leave it to me. You only need to sit in Shanhaiguan.

, just mention it at the critical moment."

It is not an exaggeration to call oneself a boy, because since ancient times, the Central Plains dynasties have been gerontocratic. This year, Hong Chengchou is only thirty-seven years old. He is indeed a boy. Being able to become the governor of Liaodong is already outstanding. If he can directly become the governor of Liaodong

In terms of position, it is indeed too unusual.

Yuan Keli stood up to resolve the embarrassment: "Don't talk about being a brat. If you look at the center of the entire imperial court, there are some who are in their seventies or eighties." Then he pointed at Yang Sichang and said: "The chief minister is only 40 years old this year. Cao Cao

Wen Zhao is not bad, he is just 39, and Ma Weizhong, who is inspecting various places for the empire, is the appointed chief minister to take over, but he is only 31." Then he pointed to the Eight Wise Kings: "The Eight Sage Kings are sitting in the south of the Yangtze River.

The wise king has stabilized the situation in Jiangnan and Northwest China. This year is only 17." Then he looked at Emperor Tianqi.

Tianqi laughed and said proudly: "I am only nineteen this year."

Sun Chengzong said with emotion: "As the saying goes, the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves in front, and each wave is stronger than the last. The Ming Empire was originally in a state of disaster, but it was a group of young people like you who turned the tide and embarked on the road to resurgence. We

This group of people is old, has no enterprising spirit, and no new ideas. We should give way to you young people."

Then he looked at the smug emperor and his group of young ministers, and looked at each other with a few old people: "We have already discussed it. I will hand over my burden to Hong Chengchou, and Yuan Keli will hand over his burden to the king."

Dong, Shen Guangzuo is ready to hand over the responsibility of his Shuntian Mansion to Lai Zongdao."

Wang Dong, a native of Zhili, was eager to learn when he was young. He was Sanyuan in the Wanli year. He once served as the governor of Shandong. Because he was an upright man, he retired because he was tired of party strife. He is forty-one this year.

Lai Zongdao lived a simple life and was well versed in the science of advancing and retreating as an official. In the 33rd year of Wanli, he served as an envoy to Su Fan. He inspected the Yellow River, climbed Mount Zhi, Mount Tai, Huashan, and Mount Song, and visited various scenic spots. In the first year of Tianqi, Lai Zongdao held a banquet to supplement scriptures and lectured on officials.

He can be regarded as a half-teacher of Tianqi. His sincere presentation earned him the trust of Zhu Youxiao. He is fifty-four this year.

Zhang Shenyan also said: "The major affairs in the southwest have been concluded, and I don't need to worry about it anymore. Moreover, the humidity is too heavy, and now the veteran minister is suffering from all kinds of diseases, and it is impossible for him to work for a few more years. Therefore, I ask you to return to Beijing to retire and take care of me."

The burden was handed over to Zhu Xieyuan, the governor of Sichuan."

Zhu Xieyuan, fifty-nine this year, is the oldest person recommended by everyone this time. He was a Jinshi in the 20th year of Wanli Emperor Shenzong of the Ming Dynasty. He has served as a Dali judge, Suzhou magistrate, and Guangdong Deputy Envoy. During his tenure, he redressed unjust imprisonment.

, eradicated civil abuses, and pacified the Weavers' Incident. Later, he served as the inspector of Shaanxi and the governor of Sichuan. In the first year of Tianqi, he was ordered to conquer the "She'an Rebellion" and "definitely" the southwest. Later, he was promoted to the Minister of War and Minister of War.

He supervised the military affairs of Guizhou, Yunnan, and Guangxi, and was awarded Shang Fangjian. He then entered the Shaoshi Division and Zuozhu State. He was a rare famous minister and military strategist in the late Ming Dynasty.

Luo Sigong gasped and said, "Wang Hongliang can take over my class."

Wang Hongliang simply borrowed from Mao Wenlong. However, this person is steady and abides by the rules and does not overstep his bounds. He has no power ambitions and is an even-keeled person. He is suitable for the current position of commander of the Jinyi Guards.

Zhang Weixian was a little embarrassed: "I want my son Zhang Zhiji to take over."

Now the little fat man has made many military exploits, and he has inherited the tradition of his family and is loyal to the royal family. Through experience in various places, his military talents have been revealed, and he is definitely the best among the rising stars of the Ming Dynasty. Under these conditions, no one can

It is believed that Zhang Weixian is the son who inherited his father's legacy. If the position of the capital of the capital is entrusted to him, the royal family will feel at ease and everyone will feel at ease too.

Wei Zhongxian also said easily: "Our family is also old, and I have taken a fancy to Wang Chengen, who is under the Eighth Sage King. He is absolutely loyal to the royal family, and does not have the ambition and greed of an old slave. I will hand him the key to the Three Treasure Houses."

, the old slave couldn't be more relieved. Then I will go to the Xiangshan Eunuch Zhonglie Temple and be an idle old guy. If I am not worthy, I may go back to my hometown directly and let the old slave's nephew take care of me in my old age, and also let the old slave have a good life.

Good ending."

Tianqi was very reluctant to give up Wei Zhongxian's request, but when he heard what he recommended, it was when Mao Wenlong in the palace quietly told him that the only person who accompanied his brother to hang himself was Wang Chengen, think about that person

As a loyal servant of the royal family for all eternity, I was moved to think that I still hadn’t missed Wei Zhongxian, a loyal companion.

Seeing that everyone had turned down their current positions, Mao Wenlong thought he should show off, so he joked: "The responsibility of the minister is going to be handed over to Zhang Pan or Qi Fei, but I am more optimistic about Zhang Pan." This was purely an opportunity to show off.

Loyalty. But now Emperor Tianqi no longer needs Mao Wenlong to express his loyalty, so he just stopped.

Tianqi was completely moved by the fact that these old people gave way to the best of the young, leaving the Ming Dynasty completely in the hands of a group of energetic and enterprising strong men.

Tianqi quietly wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes: "Masters, please don't do this, go to court like this -"

Master Sun smiled calmly: "Your Majesty, don't worry, we are not letting go. We old guys are going to drink with the salary of the court for a few more years, so we decided to ask the emperor to set up a home for consultants to stay. We still have to watch you young people."

Nian, please don’t bother me.”

Tianqi clapped his hands happily: "As the saying goes, an old person in a family is like a treasure. If there is a nursing home for the elderly in this country, and old people like you can supervise us and revise our gains and losses, the Ming Dynasty will be rejuvenated just around the corner." Then he said to Mao Wenlong.

: "But there's no need for you to get involved. Isn't it inappropriate to have a guy like you in his fifties in Su Laoli, who is seventy and eighty years old?"

Everyone laughed loudly, and Yuan Keli made a rule at that time: "No one under sixty is allowed to enter."

In this relaxed conversation, not long after, the older generation of heroes of the Ming Dynasty withdrew from the front stage of history. The new generation of young, strong, wealthy and enterprising elites walked to the stage of history and successfully and quietly completed the new era.
