Chapter 918: Taoists talk about governing the country
Wei Zhongxian would of course be happy to see the memorial to impeach the other party, who had never been against Sun Chengzong, especially the impeachment carried out by his subordinates.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Youxiao put away his lazy posture and reached out. Wei Zhongxian, a plain man, had the wise eyesight to deliver the memorial to him.
When he opened it, the emperor couldn't help but frown gradually.
Zhu Youxiao didn't care about the debates about strategies and tactics in the article. In this regard, all the ministers in the court who claimed to understand some military tactics had long been broken and said it many times, but it was nothing more than war.
We have two choices, but each side has its supporters, and we have not yet discussed the situation.
Zhu Youxiao was inclined to stick to it, but his teacher's strategic deployment cost too much, which touched his heart.
After all, the court was short of money, and rats were about to run away from the treasury.
After reading the memorial, Emperor Tianqi's face became gloomy and gloomy.
After a while, he said:
"Sun is highly respected and has excellent military strategy and strategy. However, the Liaodong defense line is indeed very expensive. The Ministry of Revenue crys in front of me for three or two days, but my treasury can't bear it!"
Wei Zhongxian, who was serving the side, was delighted and said quickly:
"What are the plans of the emperor?"
Zhu Youxiao understood what his big companion meant when he heard this. Wei Zhongxian and his teacher Sun Gaoyang knew that he was not in the way.
If you choose to make Sun Chengzong stagnate the defense plan, then follow the meaning of the military department’s report, Li Lusheng, and follow the situation and take it to the cabinet for discussion. Most of the cabinet ministers would support this.
However, he was actually willing to support his teacher's plan in his heart. If he gave up halfway, wouldn't his previous efforts and expenses be wasted? And this may also cause adverse consequences, allowing Jiannu to continue to grow bigger.
But if Sun Chengzong was not stopped from continuing like this, the court would not be able to bear the expenses.
At this moment, a clear voice came from the side:
"Although Sun Gaoyang's strategy is inevitable to waste people and money, it is also a stupid way to deal with the situation in Liaodong. Now the enemy is unclear and our situation is not good. So it is best to do it step by step and deal with it when you see it. Anyone who dares to have a rude plan to make a fool of himself.
, Some people say that "the five years of pacifying Liao" are mostly those who invite people to buy fame. Your Majesty can demote and kill them!"
As soon as these words were said, the two leaders were shocked, because the emperor was here to enjoy the cool air and read the memorial book only temporarily. Only Wei Zhongxian and a few guards were by the side, and even the eunuchs who were serving were waiting in the back of the palace and did not dare to approach.
In the Ming Dynasty, except for the inner ministers like Silijian who had the power to be red, the imperial city was still very afraid of other eunuchs interfering in politics.
So the sudden sound shocked the two of them. Then Wei Zhongxian, the powerful eunuch who was in power, immediately shouted:
"Who is talking nonsense here and dares to discuss state affairs?"
He thought it was the behavior of a certain eunuch or guard. He had never had such a person who had been lucky enough to be promoted in the past, but most of them were beaten to death by sticks.
Unexpectedly, a young and handsome Taoist in a black feathered dress and a red Taoist robe stood ten feet away.
"Ye, how did you enter the big inner world? Where is the left and right? You won't take it down with me!"
When Wei Zhongxian saw this Taoist appear silently, he was frightened. Tong Kong contracted, but his face still pretended to be calm.
But when Gao Jingfei waved his hand, the guards who had just arrived after hearing the sound suddenly stood there like petrification, but the anxious look on their faces showed that they were not intentional.
Seeing this, Emperor Tianqi and Wei Zhongxian were both worried. However, Emperor Tianqi was also an emperor who had experienced the three major etiquettes. He had the courage and calmness of the Tian family. On the contrary, Wei Zhongxian, who was on the side, showed anxiety and stepped on his way to block the emperor.
In front of you.
Just as he was about to scold him, he saw the young Taoist politely and said:
"Qin Lang, a disciple of Huashan Sect, has met His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty and the Governor of Wei!"
When he heard that the Taoist reported to his home, Emperor Tianqi was less shocked and looked at the Taoist and asked:
"I remember there was a ban in the capital. Anyone who practiced the country was not allowed to decree or doctrines, nor could he cast spells in the capital city, let alone in the imperial city. Could it be that the people from the Imperial Heavenly Prison and the Daolusi were coaxing me?"
Gao Jingfei smiled and explained:
"Your Majesty, don't worry, I have another connection with the Ming Dynasty. My fortune is connected with the country's fortune. As long as you don't have malice with Your Majesty, you can enter the imperial city to cast spells. Others probably only the ascension of Sanfeng Zhenren has been to the Emperor Chengzu
Closing, or having such permissions!”
Although I don’t quite understand the reason, Emperor Tianqi heard that it was not that the ban was invalid or that it was omission. It was just a special case of the Taoist in front of me, and I felt relieved.
Wei Zhongxian also calmed down at this time, but he thought more, curious about what the other party said, and was also extremely afraid of the Taoist in front of him.
However, it was not his turn to make decisions in front of the emperor, so he could only stand beside the emperor and stare at the Taoist man with vigilance.
Zhu Youchao suddenly became interested in the Taoist who broke into the palace and asked again:
"Huashan Sect! Wei Daban, I remember that I was founded in the Ming Dynasty and probably never awarded Taoist priests from Huashan Sect, right?"
Wei Zhongxian answered immediately:
"I remember that in the 22nd year of Hongwu, Taizu ordered the construction of the Huashan Gate. In addition, all dynasties only gave incense and issued edicts, and there were no other rewards."
After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao gently pulled the clothes, which were so scared that he was sweating all over, looked at Gao Jingfei and asked:
"What you said just now is somewhat reasonable. I will ask you, now the court's finances are in a tight position, so how should we do it if we want to pacify Liaodong?"
Seeing that Emperor Tianqi quickly recovered from calmness, Gao Jingfei had to admire him. If it were ordinary people, it would have been a while before they could calm down.
In addition, Zhu Youxiao's red regular clothes also make Gao Jingfei more pleasing to her.
Gao Jingfei did not answer immediately, but waved his hand gently. The guards there immediately returned to normal. As soon as they left their stalemate, they shouted and wanted to come forward to capture the brave Taoist priest, but Wei Zhongxian was more than just there.
Emperor Aoki also said softly:
"Everyone retreated outside!"
So the guards could only retreat with some difficulty.
After waiting for the mistress to leave, Gao Jingfei slowly spoke:
"I asked Your Majesty with one word, did Sun Gaoyang's plan stop the corruption of the situation in Liaodong?"
Emperor Tianqi felt a little moved when he heard this. He thought of the changes in the days of Sun Chengzong's command in Liaodong. He suddenly had a hint of sudden enlightenment on his face.
Wei Zhongxian, who was not in the fight against Sun Chengzong, wanted to refute it, but had nothing to say for the moment.
Anyone with a discerning eye knows that after Sun Chengzong took office, he sent generals to station in Jinzhou, Dalinghe, Songshan, Xingshan, Shitun and other places, expanding 200 miles, and dismissing You Shilu, Li Bingcheng and other generals, cutting off the old and weak army
There were 17,000 soldiers, saving the court 680,000 expenses.
He also used his defense strategy of Linghe, the Linghe Lines, and gradually advanced eastward. At the end of April, Nurhaci was frightened by Sun Chengzong's power and abandoned the new capital Liaoyang and moved north to the capital of Later Jin in Chenyang.
You should know that at this time, Liaoyang was the veritable capital and largest city in Liaodong. It was the thousand-year-old ancient city in Liaodong since the Warring States Period. At that time, Shenyangwei was just a military garrison built by the geographical location of the intersection of the Liaohe River and the Hunhe River.
.
This shows that the pressure brought to the Later Jin Dynasty by Sun Chengzong's strategic layout forced Nurhaci to transfer the capital to avoid his edge.
However, because Sun Chengzong supervised Liaodong to rectify military affairs, it greatly affected the interests of a group of warlords, generals and even the Ministry of War of the Court, and their behavior of filling their own pockets was affected. The Donglin Party also had a defense line in Liaodong.
A huge amount of interests was involved, so the whole dynasty seemed to be attacking Sun Chengzong. Only a few officials who were public and could not bear to have the interests of the Ming Dynasty suffered a letter to support him.
The Emperor of Apocalypse may not be completely clear about the interests involved, but he also knows a little bit. However, as the emperor, he seems powerless to do anything about this situation.
