Qin Liangyu, this is not an accident.
The entire Ming Dynasty knows that the current emperor has a special trust in the female general in Sichuan, which is different from Cao Wenzhao's cronies, which is an emperor's trust in the general.
There are not many people who can take over Sun Chengzong's position, and Qin Liangyu is definitely one.
But Qin Liangyu has an obstacle, that is, she is a woman, a woman who is almost seventy years old!
Because she is a woman, when the government and the opposition are thinking about the candidate to succeed Sun Chengzong, the first is Cao Wenzhao, and the second is Qin Liangyu, who ignores qualifications and is competent enough, but is a woman.
Sun Chengzong looked up at Zhu Xu, and his heart was inexplicably relieved, as if this was the emperor he knew, and it was unexpected and reasonable.
For Qin Liangyu, Sun Chengzong still appreciates it, but since ancient times, no woman has entered the house to the point of Qin Liangyu, if he goes further, I am afraid that the entire Ming Dynasty will be in an uproar.
The etiquette of the Ming Dynasty is quite strict and extreme, even if it has been diluted in recent years, but if Qin Liangyu really succeeds him and becomes the marshal of the Generalissimo's Mansion, the right second assistant of the cabinet, he can't imagine the shock of the world.
Sun Chengzong pondered again and again, and said, "Your Majesty, the old minister is still in good health, and he can still do things for the emperor and the court for a few years, please ask the emperor for permission." ” Zhu Xu was stunned, looking at this old man who had a white beard and a withered face, although he was in good spirits, he was really old.
Zhu Xu understood what Sun Chengzong meant, put down the bowl, looked at it, and said openly: "According to my plan, Yang Sichang will go to Liaodong for two years, Xiong Tingbi will replace Shen Yongmao as the minister in Mongolia, and then Yang Sichang can replace Qin Liangyu, full of calculations, at most three years, and the boss still has three years." ” Zhu Xu has always been wary of the court, and some plans will not be leaked until the last moment, but in the face of this boss, Zhu Xu is willing to tell him about it, and believes that Sun Chengzong will not drag him back.
Sun Chengzong listened to Zhu Xu's arrangement, it was not an accident, thinking about Qin Liangyu's age, if he found an excuse such as 'honor' at that time, it should be able to make sense, and the government and the opposition might be able to accept it, and it would not cause major turmoil.
Sun Chengzong found an excuse to convince him and said: "The emperor's arrangement is very safe, then, how can Cao Wenzhao arrange it?"
” It has been rumored outside that Cao Wenzhao will succeed Sun Chengzong for some time, and if he waits for another three years, will Cao Wenzhao have any ideas?
The Cao family had a great influence in the Ming Dynasty, especially the military.
Sun Chengzong's words were not finished and said thoroughly, but they were self-evident.
Zhu Xu laughed and said, "Lao Cao is very smart, over the years, when have you seen him come out of nowhere?"
Which of the Cao family doesn't understand the low-key truth?
Don't worry, I know what to expect. ” Seeing this, Sun Chengzong was relieved, this matter was in the past, there was silence at the dinner table for a while, and Sun Chengzong spoke again: "Your Majesty, the military reform has basically been completed, the standing army is maintained at about 400,000, through the compulsory military service system, continuous recruitment, training, and discharge, if there is a war in the future, a single conscription order can have a million troops rushing to the battlefield......
The military system of the Ming Dynasty began to collapse in the late Xuanzong period, and in the Wanli period, it could only be observed from all over the country, and in the year of the Apocalypse, there was a 'refining salary', that is, the imperial court gave silver, and formulated officials to recruit people to train into an army, and the regular army was already 'non-existent'.
There are very serious consequences in this, it is extremely easy to form warlords, feudal towns, and the power of the imperial court is extremely weak, and once the imperial court cannot meet the requirements, all kinds of incredible and natural things will happen.
Sun Chengzong has been in the army for most of his life, and he knows a lot about these, and he is the most supportive of Zhu Xu's 'military reform', and he has always been the most attentive and really the person who really starts to operate.
He had endless feelings in his heart, his eyes were a little moist, and his face was unmoved, and he was not shocked.
Zhu Xu slowly picked up the rice and sandwiched the dishes, not noticing Sun Chengzong's emotional changes, and said casually: "The number of troops is not the key to victory, since ancient times, it is too common to win more with less, and it often happens at critical moments."
Moreover, with the development of firearms, the numerical advantage will be further compressed, and the army must keep pace with the times, walk ahead of all countries, and the idea of putting the South Mountain and building the Great Wall to sleep must no longer exist!
When we sleep soundly, the enemy or potential enemy is desperately developing, and the consequences can be imagined......
History books are like a sea, bloodstained, we must learn from history, and we must not take it lightly......"
These are all Zhu Xu's clichés, Sun Chengzong listened carefully, he didn't think it was a big truth, he could hear that Zhu Xu's words were full of certain emotions and true feelings.
As an old minister of the Four Dynasties from Wanli to the present, he has experienced too many things, and he was deeply touched by Zhu Xu's words, and nodded silently.
After talking for a while, Zhu Xu stopped talking and said, "There are still three major threats around us, the Japanese Kingdom, Burma, Mongolia, and the enemy who is further afield, on the way.
As for us, we all have to calm down, be patient, and solve them one by one.
The agreement on the European side has been signed, whether it is Europe can give us blood transfusion, or the development of its own maritime trade, even if the disaster situation is severe in the next few years, life will be much better, Liaodong, North Annan is no longer allowed to worry about much, Shaanxi can move out, continue to move, for the future land, to further development, I always feel that the land in Suzhou and Hangzhou has not yet found the greatest potential......"
The current situation in the Ming Dynasty is naturally much better than in history, and he has gradually adapted to it, and Zhu Xu doesn't feel so stressed, it's time to prepare something.
Sun Chengzong could hear the change in his mentality from Zhu Xu's casual words, which indicated that there was no shackles of the real predicament, and His Majesty the Emperor with lofty eyes was brewing something.
Sun Chengzong no longer had as many worries as before, on the contrary, he was more at ease, did not ask anything, and said: "Sun Baigu is more sharp than Bi Ziyan, and he is not as bound as Bi Ziyan, so he should be able to complete the emperor's trust." ” Bi Ziyan came from the cracks of the old bureaucracy, or the Donglin Party, he was not a member of the Donglin Party, and since he served as a loyal minister, he tried his best to stabilize the situation in the court, and naturally fell into a complex network of relationships.
Sun Chuanting is relatively simple, and when he starts doing things, he will be sharper and sharper.
Zhu Xu smiled and nodded, Sun Chuanting was the second 'first assistant' he designated, and the government and the opposition knew it many years ago, and now it can only be said that it is logical.
Li Xie Yu observed the words, and saw that the two had finished talking, poured a cup of tea for Sun Chengzong, and said, "Sun Ge, please use it." ” The government and the opposition have a lot of opinions about this Li Niangniang, and many people directly regard him as Zheng Guifei, and there are a flood of bad comments.
But Sun Chengzong was very clear about Zhu Xu's thoughts, and he also knew that this Li Niangniang was wronged.
Sun Chengzong took it with both hands and said, "Xie Niangniang." ” Li Xie smiled and said no more.
She hopes to 'reconcile' with the outer court and not chase after their mother and son.
Zhu Xu looked at Li Jieyu, and was very insightful of her careful thoughts, and did not debunk it.
After chatting with Sun Chengzong for a while, Zhu Xu met with the envoys of Siam and Burma in the Qianqing Palace.
The situation in the southeast peninsula is even more complicated than that of the Ming Dynasty, Siam seems to have eaten up Nanzhang and other countries, and is proud of the southeast peninsula, but it is also facing disasters, and the internal forces are complicated, and there are obvious signs of prosperity and decline.
Myanmar is even more complicated, the internal is already divided, from the Wanli period of the Burmese king tried to unify Myanmar, the result is the opposite, coupled with the disaster like fire, Myanmar is extremely weak.
The two countries are preoccupied with their own internal affairs, and now that the external threat is increasing day by day, the hope of 'peace talks' with the Ming Dynasty is obviously gaining the upper hand.

They have already met Sun Chengzong and Fu Changzong, and the basic conditions have been negotiated, mainly to 'return' the territory of the Ming Dynasty that they had invaded before, followed by the confirmation of the vassal relationship, the amount of tribute, plus a series of commercial and trade treaties and military treaties.
Daming is still quite 'moderate', did not put forward too many excessive demands, the two countries are eager for peace talks, basically acceptable, this meeting with His Majesty the Ming Emperor, is courteous, but also the final confirmation.
In the main hall of the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Xu sat on the dragon chair, and the two envoys from Burma and Siam stood below, and the hall was quite quiet.
Zhu Xu had two stacks of documents in his hand, three books each.
He opened the first book, which was a handwritten transcript from the King of Siam to His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, which was full of respectful words from his courtiers.
The second book is the 'peace talks' between the Ming and Siam, which stipulate the boundaries of the territory, the amount of tribute and the time of regular tribute.
In fact, the Ming Dynasty forcibly divided nearly half of Yunnan's territory from the two countries, and the amount of tribute was doubled.
The third book is a trade treaty, Siam will import cloth, silk, porcelain, tea, raw salt, weapons and equipment from the Ming Dynasty within three years, with a total amount of more than 10 million taels of silver, and the Ming Dynasty imported more than 10 million stones of grain from Burma, which is basically mutually beneficial.
In this way, within three years, Daming will have 20 million stone grain entering the country!
Zhu Xu was very satisfied with the result of this 'peace talk', so he naturally smiled at each other, and deliberately stayed these two for a few more days.
These two people walked around the capital at the same time, and then went to the Miyun camp to watch the artillery exercises of the Ming Dynasty.
The two of them were full of anxiety, their backs were full of cold sweat, and they returned to the post station tremblingly.
After preparing for a long time, the date for Zhu Xu to go out of Beijing for the summer vacation has finally arrived.
There were no special preparations, and the forbidden army of 2,000 people accompanied them, guarding all parts of the road.
He brought him, in addition to the celebrant and some people in the cabinet, and the queen Zhang Yun and a few children in the palace.
This is a simple and simple thing for an emperor.
Sitting in a relatively large royal carriage, Zhang Yun was taking care of the children, and Zhu Xu was sitting on Fu Changzong's side.
"The minister is worried."
Fu Changzong was blunt.
When Zhu Xu was in Beijing, he didn't notice it, and as Zhu Xu was leaving, he became more and more uneasy.
He is now left alone in the cabinet, and he has no confidence in temporarily serving as the 'first assistant', especially at this complicated and turbulent moment.
Zhu Xu wiped the sweat from his face and said with a smile: "It's not a big deal, if you can't get it right, go to Xingyuan, if it's urgent, you will discuss it with the six departments." ” Zhu Xu said lightly, such a big country, where can you decide casually.
Fu Changzong hesitated and said, "Your Majesty, can you ask Elder Bi Ge to return to Beijing as soon as possible?"
” When Bi Ziyan was there, the government and the opposition were more or less dissatisfied with him, but now that he has only been away from Beijing for three months, the government and the opposition feel that he is indispensable.
In fact, looking at the Ming Dynasty, there are not only a handful of people who can serve as the first assistant, but the only one!
Sun Chuanting is on the throne, mostly as a result of Zhu Xu's strong support.
Zhu Xu looked at Fu Changzong, and sighed lightly in his heart, Daming has no shortage of talents, but there is a shortage of serious pulling, Fu Changzong does not have the ability to be the 'first assistant'.
"I'll try it."
Zhu Xu said.
Bi Ziyan is already in Jiangxi, presumably waiting for him, and I don't know what Bi Ziyan wants to tell him.
Fu Changzong hesitated, but still let this matter go, and said: "Chen Qiyu forcibly promoted a series of plans related to Tianmu in Nanzhili, which caused a lot of movement, and I heard that some people even blocked the governor's yamen, and many people are on hunger strikes, forcing each other to ...... death."
Zhu Xu touched his chin with some surprise, and said with a smile: "Chen Qiyu has been the governor of Shuntian for many years, and he is silent, but he didn't expect to make a noise in Nanzhili, take a look." ” 'Let's see', it seems to be noncommittal, but in fact it is supportive.
Fu Changzong understood, and said: "King Lu has been unwell recently, and he chatted with his ministers yesterday, and he has plans to retire for the elderly." ” Zhu Xu's eyes narrowed, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a sneer.
King Lu has been the Zongzheng of the Zongren Mansion for many years, and he thought that he could be like King Ping, shepherd one side and be at ease, but in the past few years, Zhu Xu seems to have forgotten him.
Talking to Fu Changzong this time is mostly a kind of 'complaining'.
Fu Changzong could also guess King Lu's thoughts, and said, "Your Majesty, if King Lu insists on leaving, then there will be no suitable person to take over from the Zongren Mansion." ” The Daming clan has long been tossed by Zhu Xu and withered, but there is basically no one who can be in, the king of Jin is ambitious, but his ability is not good, no one is optimistic, and it is in vain to toss up and down for so long.
Zhu Xu groaned, looked at Fu Changzong again, suppressed his thoughts and did not declare it, and said: "Ignore him first, you will go to the Pingwang Mansion later, let him invite the clan in Beijing to have a meal, sort out the relevant rules of the sect, especially the appointment and deposition of the relevant positions in the Zongren Mansion, management, supervision, etc., coordinate it and report it to the cabinet." ” Fu Changzong only thought that this was a beating on King Lu, so he should claim that it was.
The two talked a lot, until the team left Donghua Gate, Zhu Xu said: "Let the eldest brother do another development plan for the next few years of the Royal Money Village, modify and modify, be a little more atmospheric, focus on the whole world, don't look at the present, look at the long term, don't just drill money, sometimes, the benefits are not only in the amount of silver......"
Fu Changzong listened carefully, and after writing it down, he said, "Yes, the minister has written it down." ” Zhu Xu nodded and explained a few more words, which allowed Fu Changzong to get out of the carriage.
Zhang Yun looked at the sleeping little guy in his arms and said, "Your Majesty, do you want to send Ying'er to Ye'er and a few of them in the car?"
” Zhu Ciye is already five or six years old, and a few little guys are in an independent carriage.
Zhu Xu listened attentively, could hear the noise of a few little guys, shook his head, and said: "Forget it, it won't stop after the past, let us go, we will sleep for a while, it's still far away from Chengde." ” Zhang Yun pursed his lips and smiled, "Okay." ” The two lay down and placed the little one in the middle, each with a hand on his little belly.
The little one, who is almost a year old, chirps his mouth, tilts his head, and continues to fall asleep sweetly.
The convoy left the Forbidden City, left the capital, and went all the way south, heading straight to Jiangxi.
The two thousand elites of the forbidden army were in front and behind each other, and Cao Bianjiao, who was dressed in silver armor, rode a high-headed horse and walked not far from Zhu Xu's carriage.

Opposite him, next to the carriage of Zhu Ciye's little guys, was Su Yinyin, who was also dressed in silver armor, pretty and cold, holding a spear, and heroic.
Zhu Xu has already revealed his wind during this summer vacation, and everyone in the capital and even the entire Ming Dynasty knows it.
The people on the road watched and talked about it.
"The emperor is going to spend the summer, this is my first time in the Ming Dynasty, right?"
"Yes, if you want me to say, this capital is getting hotter and hotter, and you should really go out to avoid it, I heard that several people have died of heat in the east of the city, and the corpses are smelly before they are found."
"This weather, when is it a head, Qin Tianjian posted a notice a few days ago, saying that it will be hotter for a while, it is said that it will reach forty-two degrees, let us try not to go out......"
"Yes, it hasn't rained this year, and if it doesn't rain again, people will definitely die......"
There are a lot of rational discussions among the people, and there are even more cynical words.
"Oh, going out of Beijing to escape the summer, this is also the first time in the world, our emperor, His Majesty, is really expensive, and he has traveled thousands of miles to escape the summer......"
"He's not the only one who is hot, he ran out, what about the others?
Up and down, no wonder my Ming officialdom is not as good as day by day......"
"Hey, it's okay to say this, but I don't know how much people's fat and people's ointment will be wasted, have you heard?
The emperor was spending the summer this time, and there were thousands of people accompanying him, not to mention that Chengde had to prepare, and this trip, not to mention, there were millions of taels of silver to go out......"
"Such a big deal?
How good it would be if this was used to help the victims, hey, the emperor is not virtuous, the court is stupid, what hope does the Ming have ......" …… No matter how much sour words there are, it can't stop Zhu Xu from leaving Beijing.
The convoy followed the official road, unhurried, all the way south.
Zhu Xu sometimes stopped, sometimes accelerated, and inspected the people's livelihood in various places along the road.
Nanchang Mansion, on the Xiaoqinhuai River, a painted boat looks ordinary among the many boats.
Zhu Zonghan sat in the boat, turning the teacup in front of him, his always stiff face full of condensation.
A middle-aged man kneeling beside him said in a rather eager tone: "Master, this is a godsend."
As long as it is used properly, so that Jing Zheng believes that Cao Wenzhao is plotting rebellion, he will inevitably kill Cao Bianjiao and his wife, as long as we tell them in advance, we can borrow their hands to kill the Ming Emperor, and at that time, the Ming Dynasty will inevitably be disrupted, and Dolgon's 100,000 male soldiers will go on a northern expedition, and our restoration of the country is just around the corner......"
Zhu Zonghan's face fluctuated meaninglessly, still slowly turning the teacup.
The middle-aged man seemed to feel that Zhu Zonghan was easy to move, and said: "Master, I am now a staff officer at Hong Chengchou's place, I can imitate his notes, and when he arrives in Henan, Hong Chengchou's rebellious letter to contact Cao Wenzhao will fall into the hands of competition, and with a little planning, Jing Zheng will definitely die!"
” Zhu Zonghan glanced up at this person, this person was a person from the Shishan Mansion at that time, and he was a Han person.
Zhu Zonghan picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said, "I know Jingzheng better than you, you can't kill him with this little trick at all, besides, I don't want to kill him." ” The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, and said: "Master, don't be kind to women, I know, Jingzheng is good to you, but the hatred of the country is not shared, do you want to watch the little remaining people in Dolgon disappear, and there is no Jurchen in the world?"
” Zhu Zonghan's eyebrows moved, and he said: "Go ahead, I know this matter in my heart, without my order, you must not act rashly, and although Hong Chengchou is lustful, he also has corruption, these are known by Jing Zheng, at most, he will be dismissed from office and imprisoned for a few years."
Luo Yangxing's handles, small things are okay, but Hong Chengchou doesn't dare to rebel against this kind of thing. ” The middle-aged man has been planning for a long time, naturally it will not be something that Zhu Zonghan can dispel in a few words, and said impatiently: "Master, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, if you miss this time, it will be extremely difficult to kill Jingzheng next time, the life and death of the Jurchen clan is between your thoughts, you must not be Guan Yu of Huarong Dao......"
Zhu Zonghan frowned again, and said: "I have my own plan, go ahead, tell those people, you can't act rashly, no one knows Jingzheng better than me, he said that it was a summer vacation this time, there must be other purposes, we can't be beaten by the grass, and it will be solved easily." ” The middle-aged man said that his mouth was dry, and seeing that Zhu Zonghan was indifferent, he could only get up hatefully, turn around and get off the flower boat, and leave quickly.
When the middle-aged man was gone, a painting boat quietly approached, and a stout man with a cloak walked in.
Zhu Zonghan didn't seem to notice, drank tea silently, and looked at the desktop in a daze.
The stout man came in, sat down opposite Zhu Zonghan, took off his cloak, and revealed an old, weathered face.
This person is in his fifties, with a grand face, and introverted eyes, and you can vaguely see the edge of his youth. - Dai Shan!
This person, who should have been in Nan Annan, actually appeared in Nanchang Mansion and was seeing Zhu Zonghan!
Dai Shan picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said, "What, hesitate?"
” Zhu Zonghan glanced up at him and continued to look at the desktop silently.
His expression was stiff, and it was difficult for outsiders to discern anything from his face.
Dai Shanfeng came and said, "I came here to just want to know, what did the Great Khan say to you, and what did he explain?"
Don't worry, we don't have any ideas about Jing Zheng, whether you want to kill Xiangliu or what the others want, it's all your Mingren's internal affairs. ” Zhu Zonghan raised his head and said, "I didn't say anything, I just said that the Nuzhen hope is no longer in the northeast, but in the southeast." ” "The female really hope in the southeast?"
Dai Shan listened to Zhu Zonghan's words, frowned and fell into thought.
They all know that the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty put them in Nan Annan, which was clearly to drive the wolf and devour the tiger, let them play the vanguard, and fight for the Ming Dynasty.
It's a vicious conspiracy to drain them of the last bit of value.
It's obviously trapped, how can it be hope?
