"You want Shandong and Liangguang?" Wen Tiren glared at Xia Nan, "What kind of charter is governing the people with the military?" ”

"Well, to put it simply, it is military management, I must have the final say in Denglai area and Qiongzhou, and the local government must also listen to me."

Wen Tiren was silent for a while, and replied: "Under Putian, it is not the king's land; On the shore of the land, it is not the king's minister. The whole world is holy, do you know what your request means? ”

Xia Nan said lightly: "I know, become an extralegal place under the rule of the Ming Dynasty." ”

"Now that you know, why do you want to do such a rebellious act?" Wen Tiren hated the iron and said, "You have the skills to make money, you have the ability to train the troops, you are already a general who guards one side at a young age, the official is the right governor, and you are the only military general who has been knighted in this dynasty, and the future is immeasurable, making such an unreasonable request, whether you can do it or not, it is tantamount to self-destruction of the future......

"Future, hehe......" Xia Nan smiled lightly, "Elder Ge, even if I only promise to please the emperor, what can he give me, a few dozen stones of Lu rice per month, or a title that can only be seen and not eaten?" At this moment, there is no one left and right, dare to say a word of heart-wrenching, do you think there are still a few years left for the Ming Dynasty? ”

Wen Tiren was as if he had been struck by lightning, and he was so shocked that he couldn't speak. Xia Nan's words are heart-wrenching, and they can no longer be described by the word arrogance, which is simply a big rebellion.

He was stunned for a long time, trembling and pointing at each other, and said tremblingly: "Today, Zi Shengming is working hard for the country, and everyone is ......."

"You don't have to fool me with this set of high-sounding words." Xia Nan interrupted him, "The emperor is diligent and hardworking, I don't deny this, but governing the world is not a success by diligence, anyone with a discerning eye can see that since he ascended the throne, internal and external troubles, and the situation is getting worse day by day." And the so-called Zhongzheng Ying Dynasty, others don't know what's going on, don't you know yet? This is just the Donglin Party putting gold on its face, according to rumors, the elder is a lone minister of the Donglin Party......"

As soon as these words came out, Wen Tiren was speechless.

From entering the cabinet to become a scholar, to ascending to the throne of the first assistant, in the case of the change of cabinet ministers, standing for several years without falling, Wen Tiren did not rely on talent, but to contain the skills and scheming of the Donglin Party with his own strength, which was also acquiesced by Chongzhen. No emperor can tolerate the ministers and friends above the court and control the court.

Xia Nan said leisurely: "The words are a little far away, back to the topic." The reason why I want to completely master Qiongzhou and even Liangguang and get rid of all constraints is because this is the place where I started, and there is no raid by rogues and Tartars, it is a very safe place, I make money, train soldiers, and Tuntian, all rely on here, and the importance is self-evident; The location of Shandong is very delicate, to the west can contain the Liukou, to the east can cross the sea to contain the Tartars, with the current strength of the Qiong Navy, the two-pronged approach is enough to influence the general trend of the world. So, can Elder Ge understand my painstaking efforts? ”

Wen Tiren was silent for a while, and said with difficulty: "Now there are only two of me in the study, you tell me the truth: do you want to learn from Song Taizu and have a Chen Qiao mutiny and a yellow robe?" ”

Xia Nan replied slyly: "This is what Elder Ge said, I don't admit it." Besides, at this moment, Qionghai Town is just a place, there are only more than 10,000 soldiers, and they dare not have the heart of disobedience, and the Ming Dynasty has four seas, and there are three catties of nails for broken ships, and it is not comparable to the Hou Zhou of several provinces......"

These words seem to be a sign of loyalty, but in fact, they can't be more clear, and shrewd as Wen Tiren naturally understands as soon as he hears it. Xia Nan's real meaning is: Now my territory is not enough, the troops are too small, and the place where Daming is so wide cannot hold it for the time being. Combined with the previous words, Wen Tiren figured out Xia Nan's overall intention: to turn Liangguang into his own rear base, and then occupy Shandong, with its unique geographical advantages to influence the situation in the country. When enough soldiers and horses are trained, the initiative is in their own hands, and according to the specific situation, they will decide whether to be Zhao Kuangyin or Cao Cao.

Wen Tiren never expected that he just wanted to find this "ally" to understand the ins and outs of this trip to the capital, but he didn't expect to bring out such a large amount of information. He was like a pins and needles, wishing he hadn't heard these words, so as not to be in a dilemma, but the water that was spilled out of the words was impossible for Xia Nan to take back, and it was impossible for him to pretend not to hear it, so he had to make a statement.

Xia Nan seemed to think that he was not messy enough, and added: "Of course, if the elder thinks that what I said is still reasonable, please help me say a few more good words in the court, so that I can get what I want; If you think that these words are rebellious, you can also play the emperor, and send Jinyi Wei to get people......"

Wen Tiren was completely confused, either get on your thief ship, or tear his face, Nima, this is forcing me to stand in line! Lao Tzu is now the first assistant above 10,000 people under the Ming Dynasty, why should you bet on the general army of a place, can't you see the situation first?

He was in a desperate situation. In such a short period of time, it is impossible for him to accept an olive branch from a Guangdong general soldier as the first assistant of the cabinet; But it is extremely unwise to tear your face, not to mention that the army outside the city is eyeing each other, in the summer Nan dared to swagger into the city, and the one or two thousand men and horses he brought were not easy to provoke, this guy launched a ruthless attack and even dared to kill the eunuchs guarding the town, I heard that the Tianjin General Soldier and Bingbeidao were also arrested, which can be described as lawless, if Jinyiwei dares to touch his finger, I am afraid that Beizhen Fusi will be razed to the ground.

He let out a long sigh: "Zhiwen, this is putting the old man in a situation of disloyalty and injustice!" If you acquiesce and condone what you do, you are unfaithful. But if he denounces you to the Holy One, it is unrighteousness......"

Xia Nan seemed to see through his thoughts, and said with a smile: "Elder Ge thinks too much, I am still a courtier of the Ming Dynasty, eating the food and salary of the imperial court, and helping the imperial court fight." Now it's just to discuss the possibilities of the future with Ge Lao, which can be regarded as a rainy day and open up a more road for himself and Ge Lao, what is the crime? ”

Wen Tiren thought about it, as long as the words in the study were not passed on by the two of them, no third person would know. Although the situation in Daming may not be as dangerous as Xia Nan said, it seems that it is not impossible to have another path as an alternative. What's more, his position as the first assistant has gone all the way, and he is also trembling, and he doesn't know what will happen tomorrow today, if he puts all the bets on the emperor, in case he loses his holy family, it will only be a blink of an eye to fall from the sky and dust, which is unacceptable to him who is keen on power anyway.

After thinking through the pros and cons, Wen Tiren's eyes gradually became firm.

"Zhiwen has a point. Then let's discuss how to control Liangguang and Shandong as you wish......"
