Chapter 1061 Think Tank

The man who came to Han Mansion with Zhao Nanxing and Yang Lian was Wang Wenyan, one of the think tanks of the Donglin Party.

Wang Wenyan can be said to have made great contributions to the Donglin Party being able to drive away Qi Party and Chu Party.

Although he was only a minor official, he was highly valued in the Donglin Party and had close relationships with many bigwigs of the Donglin Party. He even became a Zhongshu Shepherd beside the chief assistant Ye Xianggao.

Several people sat down separately.

As the master and the minister of the cabinet, Han Du sat alone in the main seat. Zhao Nanxing's official position was lower, but he enjoyed a high reputation within the Donglin Party, so he sat on the right hand of Han Du.

Yang Lian was much worse than the two, so he could only sit down with Wang Wenyan.

"I don't know if Brother Yu is so anxious to find us, what's the matter!" Zhao Nanxing spoke first.

Yang Lian also said: "When I received the news from the people of the Pavilion Master's Mansion, I was talking to Lord Zhao about the matter today. Mr. Wang happened to be there, so we came together."

As Yang Lian, who has a status worse than two people, briefly explained the reason why the three people came together with Han Du.

Hearing this, Han Du understood why Wang Wenyan came with him.

"I'm here to disturb Master Ge." Wang Wenyan stood up and showed his apology.

Han Du waved his hand and said with a smile: "Mr. Wang can, my official welcomes you, and there is no word for disturbing me."

He did not dislike Wang Wenyan's meaning. It would be best if Wang Wenyan could come together. However, after all, many things about the Donglin Party were planned by Wang Wenyan. Although he was a master of the cabinet, he also respected Wang Wenyan.

Wang Wenyan bowed to South Korea again before she sat back in her seat.

Han Yu pushed the envelope on the table forward and delivered it to Zhao Nanxing, saying, "You look at this first. This letter was sent by Yang Guozhu, deputy general of Datong."

Zhao Nanxing, who picked up the letter, took out the letter paper inside, and put it in front of him and started reading it.

After reading it, he handed the letter to Yang Lian, and then said to Han Du: "Brother Yu Chen, what do you think about the content of this letter?"

"I don't really believe what is written above." Han Dong shook his head slightly, and then said, "If something above really happens, it will be impossible for Datong to be so quiet, and there is no movement at all in the local governor and general."

Hearing this statement, Zhao Nanxing nodded and said, "My brother Yu Chen thinks, there may be some merchants in the border areas secretly interacting with Mongolia and reselling my Ming Dynasty goods. But if you want to say that building a pier on the grassland is too nonsense, it is hard to believe."

Before the rise of the Later Jin Dynasty, the Mongols were always the main enemy of the Ming Dynasty. Moreover, since the middle and late stages, the Ming Dynasty was always on the verge of resistance and had no ability to penetrate the grassland at all.

At this moment, Yang Lian also read the contents of the letter, his face darkened, and said, "This Yang Guozhu, I think he is most likely not hiding his own departure from a general in the town to a deputy general. The elders of the cabinet can hand over this letter to the lower officials, and the lower officials will let the censor impeach him tomorrow morning."

Although the position of Zuodu is not high, he is in charge of the responsibility of supervising impeachment. He can make the censors below impeach and dismiss the other party from hearing. Now with such evidence, it is even easier to deal with Yang Guozhu.

"Forget it, Yang Guozhu is an capable general in the court after all. It is not a good thing to dismiss him at this time." Han Du said to Yang Lian.

The Later Jin Dynasty was in great importance, and the importance of military generals became increasingly prominent. If it were the case before, Yang Guozhu would have dared to write such a letter. As a cabinet master, he would have long since let Yang Guozhu lose his post.

"Since Master Ge said that, let's forget it this time, but this letter can be put away first." Yang Lian said.

As the deputy censor of Zuodu, this handle is used to being firmly held in your hands.

Zhao Nanxing said: "Yang Guozhu is also considered a general, otherwise the late emperor would not have arranged him as the general of Datong, but unfortunately the situation is still a little smaller."

"What kind of situation can a military general have? You can only dare to fight and fight." Yang Lian said with a smile.

In such an orthodox civil servant, he always holds a stubborn civil servant. If he doesn’t love money and generals, he will not hesitate to die, so why not worry about the world’s inseparable state. This is such an idea.

"I feel that although what General Yang said is suspected of exaggerating, it may not be aimless." Wang Wenyan, who had read the letter at the end, suddenly spoke.

As soon as he spoke, he had different opinions from the three people present, which made all the three people look at him.

He continued to say: "I have heard of the tiger flag. Later, it was through Wei Yan that he had a chance to be recruited and became a general in Datong. Such a person may not have the Ming Dynasty in his heart, but he thinks more about himself."

"Mr. Wang means that Liu Heng is really likely to go to the grassland to build a pier?" Han Du frowned.

The grassland has always been the grassland of the Mongols. The Ming Dynasty did not want to occupy it, but could not do it. Now there is still the Later Jin Dynasty in rebellion in Liaodong. As a cabinet master, he hoped that there would be no problems. Otherwise, the Ming Dynasty would not have any extra troops to be sent to border towns such as Datong and Xuanfu.

With so many people in the Ming Dynasty, they naturally did not lack the source of troops. What they lacked was the money to raise soldiers. Liaodong was almost unsustainable. If there were several important towns in Datong and Xuanfu that caused trouble to the Northern Territory, the Ministry of Revenue would not have the money to raise more troops.

"Maybe there, maybe not, but I think there should be, but as the letter said, the pier built by the Tiger Flag is almost at Qingcheng, and I think it is impossible." Wang Wenyan subconsciously shook her head and said immediately, "Tiger Flag is just a business. If there is a silver, it may be, but no matter how much silver the business has, it cannot cope with the Mongol cavalry."

Han Du nodded and said, "Mr. Wang's words make sense, but the tiger flag really built a fort on the grassland, which is likely to destroy the stability of the border areas for many years."

"If the tiger flag is really built, the officials think that Liu Heng should be taken down. They must not let him anger Tumote's Mongols at this time." Yang Lian said.

Zhao Nanxing said: "Brother Yu Chen, what do you think? Do you want to discuss with the chief assistant and see how to solve the tiger flag."

"Don't worry, sir, please wait and finish your sentence." Wang Wenyan interrupted.

Han Du looked at Wang Wenyan and said, "Mr. Wang has anything to say. The tiger flag is really as Mr. Wang said. It is very likely that the Mongolians will invade the border again, causing the Xuanfu in Datong, and the Ming Dynasty will be completely corrupt."

"Old Master Ge is too worried." Wang Wenyan smiled.

Han Du frowned and said in confusion: "What does Mr. Wang mean?"

"I think that the things written in the letter are not worth worrying about." Wang Wenyan said, "It is definitely impossible to build a pier fort when it is cold and cold. Therefore, if the tiger flag is really built on the grassland, it would have happened at least half a year ago. But after so long, has the Pavilion Master ever received a memorial about the Mongolian Kou Bian sent by the Xuanfu area of ​​Datong?"

Han Du shook his head.
