Chapter 280
Sun Chengzong and Tianqi's words went round and round because of the arrival of Zhu Youjian, so they went off topic, so Sun Chengzong had to cough.
This is a rule in the officialdom. A cough is not a cold or a sore throat, but because the superior has something to say. Although Sun Chengzong is not a superior here, because the emperor, the highest superior in the world, sits here, Sun Chengzong is the emperor's teacher.
According to this rule, Sun Chengzong is ranked fifth, higher than the emperor.
Therefore, when Sun Chengzong coughed, the emperor and the future King Xin immediately shut up and asked for advice humbly.
"Wang Zaijin is not suitable to be in charge of the Liaodong strategy anymore, and Xiong Tingbi threatens the emperor out of self-respect and should be dealt with quickly. Therefore, the post of Liaodong strategy will be vacant again. This is not possible."
Tianqi was embarrassed and choked for a long time, and finally had to say: "When Marshal Mao exposed Xiong Tingbi's arrogant ambition, he recommended you to be the Liaodong manager. I am still hesitant. I really don't want to let my teacher leave my side."
Although Sun Chengzong was not a rigid person, he was actually unhappy with Mao Wenlong's exposure of Xiong Tingbi's wolfish ambitions. Mao Wenlong's attack on Xiong Tingbi this time, in Sun Chengzhong's opinion, was meant to take personal revenge. There is another thing, no matter what,
Mao Wenlong was nominally a subordinate of Xiong Tingbi, and when his subordinates tried to overthrow his superiors, he felt that he was not a good boss no matter what he did psychologically.
So now Sun Chengzhong's feelings towards Mao Wenlong are not very good. In addition, Mao Wenlong was indeed unruly and unruly at the time. He repeatedly caused trouble for his superiors and even lied about the number of troops. For the upright Sun Chengzong, he disliked him even more.
Of course, now is not the time to say this. Regarding Mao Wenlong's recommendation that he be the manager of Liaodong, Sun Chengzong pondered for a while and then handed over to Emperor Tianqi: "The country is in troubled times, and veterans dare not shirk the blame."
Tianqi looked at the teacher with a complicated expression, and finally said hesitantly: "Actually, I think that the master is by my side, teaching me on a daily basis, and providing me with detailed information when important national events are imminent, which plays a more important role than
Your economic strategy in Liaodong is much greater."
Sun Chengzong smiled bitterly. This was because he, a student, had suffered from dependence disease again: "The war outside Shanhaiguan has been corrupted, and the situation has gotten out of control. Everyone can't avoid this position. If Wang Zaijin resigns, no one will take up this position. Mao Shuai once said
Well done, *********, *********, this is the time for me to go. As for the emperor’s teachings, there are great scholars who are qualified to do so. Once something happens in the country, I need your reference.
, Shanhaiguan is only a three-day round trip from the capital, so there won’t be any delays.”
"Did Shuai Mao say this?" Zhu Youjian suddenly interrupted and asked.
Tianqi smiled and nodded: "These words were said by Mao Shuai and Jin Yiwei Wang Hongliang, and were passed on by him. Now this couplet has become the motto of many ministers."
"******,******." Zhu Youjian muttered in a low voice, and then shook his head: "These words come from Mao Shuai, he did it, as for those who regard him as their motto
It's a pity that such officials have tainted this word."
Then he saluted Sun Chengzong: "Master, I deserve this."
Sun Chengzong smiled and waved his hand: "There are few people in the world who can really deserve this sentence. It is actually good to use him as a motto. This can always remind and spur some civil and military colleagues to get closer to this goal." Then he had to add one more sentence:
"No one is perfect, so don't be too demanding."
Tianqi was thoughtful, and Zhu Youjian curled his lips.
Sun Chengzong smiled calmly: "It's just a child. If you don't understand, just let him be."
Although Apocalypse is still reluctant to leave, as the teacher said, the situation outside Shanhaiguan is indeed in danger. People with talents and courage like the teacher are needed to take charge and clean up the mess. If it continues like this and waits for Nurhaci to enter the army again, the entire war situation will be completely corrupted.
In the end, Tianqi decided to release Sun Chengzong from the court.
Now that we have decided to send the teacher to the war, we must ensure the teacher's absolute safety, and at the same time ensure that the teacher can exercise his true power on the front line.
The emperor's restraints on the soldiers in front were due to his emphasis on control in the middle. This was a way to control military officers and civil servants.
But there are also surprises here. For example, Tianqi now has absolute trust in Sun Chengzong, so there is no emperor restriction.
So Tianqi asked: "Teacher needs capable people under his command. I don't know what kind of people the teacher has to recommend. I'm not sure."
Everything is accurate, which completely shows that Tianqi's trust in his teacher has nothing to do with his character, but has something to do with Tianqi's dependence on Sun Chengzong.
Sun Chengzong thought for a moment and then proposed two candidates: "This time I will recommend two people and delegate power to them."
Tianqi's eyes lit up, and he immediately asked expectantly: "Tell me, master, I'm absolutely right."
Sun Chengzhong said frankly: "One is my student, Yuan Chonghuan, and the other is Ma Shilong, the commander-in-chief of Shanhai."
After receiving this answer, Tianqi obviously expressed a disappointment, because in his heart, he believed that his teacher should choose an elite soldier and a strong general, Mao Wenlong, who was loyal to the Ming Dynasty and had the absolute ability to take on the responsibility.
As a result, the old master did not mention Mao Shuai.
Sun Chengzong saw Tianqi's disappointment and understood what he was thinking as a student. Again, Sun Chengzong had some resistance to Mao Wenlong's direct attack on his boss Xiong Tingbi. From this point, Sun Chengzong also had a little disdain for Mao Wenlong's character.
It's a small grudge. If this is the case, this unruly guy will be difficult to control if he is placed under his control. This is on the one hand, and the most important thing is that we hate each other. So after a little thought, I had to go against my will.
Explain to Tianqi: "Shuai Mao is far behind enemy lines and has just established an independent town. I heard that he was very unhappy with the supervisory army. This shows his unruly nature. This time, Shanhaiguan Foreign Supervisor, I
There must be two people who absolutely obey my will, so the top and bottom can work together. Ma Shilong is capable and responsible, and his talents are not inferior to Mao Wenlong. Yuan Chonghuan is far-sighted and calm. Although he is my student, I do not shy away from relatives.
Please understand."
Tianqi let out a long sigh of disappointment and leaned against the back of the chair. Tianqi agreed without principle to what the teacher said, but still complained regretfully: "Shuai Mao and the supervisors were having a lot of trouble. Although Shuai Mao was unruly
A side that is untamable and difficult to tame. However, according to reports from Jin Yiwei and Dongchang, in fact, Mao Shuai was not to blame for the whole incident. It was Wang Dayong who was a stupid pig and found it himself. At the same time, Mao Shuai and the supervisors did not blame him.
He, caused a lot of trouble, but he didn't have any resistance to the Jinyiwei and Dongchang we sent out, and he actively cooperated. From this point of view, he is still willing to obey the supervision of the imperial court."
This is what is called no comparison, no harm. If Mao Wenlong alone had a big fight with a supervisor, without Jin Yiwei and Dongchang watching and witnessing, then this matter would definitely be Mao Wenlong's biggest blow under the verbal and written criticism of the literati.
The place where he was attacked, but now there are Jinyiwei and Dongchang, who the emperor thinks are the most loyal to him, who can explain the cause and effect of this matter clearly, and he also has the preconception that he attacks Xiong Tingbi and is loyal to him, so the civil servants
The impeachment memorial of Mao Zedong was carried by a special little eunuch every day. Tianqi believed that this was a frame-up of Mao Wenlong. Although he did not want to do anything to the civil servants, he did not want to do anything to Mao Wenlong, so these memorials were directly ordered by Tianqi
