Wen Tiren asked in a hurry: "Let's not talk about whether it is appropriate for Xia Nan to do this, what can make a general soldier have the confidence to blackmail the squire of the military department?"

Yang Sichang was speechless for a while, when it came to the matter of peace, only he and Chongzhen knew, and even Wen Tiren, the first assistant, did not tell him, so it was really difficult to say it too clearly. How did he know that Wen Tiren had already learned from Xia Nankou last night, and now he was just pretending to be confused.

It was Chongzhen who helped him out of the siege: "Let's not talk about this yet, Changqing, I called you over to discuss how to deal with Xia Nan." Wen Qiao said well, although Xia Nan has a set of training and fighting in the summer, and he has also made contributions, but even his own boss dares to threaten him, and the more powerful a person is, the greater the harm. What should I do? ”

Wen Tiren secretly slandered himself, you two monarchs and ministers secretly want to negotiate peace with the Tartars, you don't talk to the cabinet about such a big matter, and you want me to help wipe your ass when you get out of the basket, I'm not stupid. Besides, with the ability and ambition of Xia Nan's ally, everything is possible in the future, and there is no need to dismantle his own platform for Yang Sichang.

Yang Sichang said: "The elder of the pavilion is still thinking about it, so I will throw bricks and lead jade, and make a suggestion: summon Xia Nan to enter the palace to meet him, and order the palace guards not to untie his knife......

When Wen Tiren heard this, this method was really insidious, he saw that Chongzhen was a little moved, and hurriedly dissuaded him in time: "By all means, the army of Qionghai Town is still outside the city, and they have just made immortal achievements to kill their leader, do you want to force this army to rebel?"

Yang Sichang asked puzzledly: "As soon as the main general dies, the army will definitely be leaderless, and then receive this strong army, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone?"

Wen Tiren sighed: "Wen Qiao has just entered the military department, and some things may not be clear. Qiong Haijun was originally just a group of strongmen between the mountains and wilderness, and he was appeased only when Guangdong was not at peace, and it was trained by Xia Nan from beginning to end, which was no different from his private soldiers, and he was used to lawlessness, so Xia Nan himself could be suppressed. If he dies, who has the ability to subdue Qionghai Town? ”

Yang Sichang was stunned and bowed his head silently.

Wen Tiren continued: "You only see that the land division of Qionghai Town is strong, but you forget that their naval division is unparalleled in the world, and even the late coastal defense guerrilla Zheng Zhilong is not their opponent." He turned to Chongzhen, "Your Majesty has forgotten that hundreds of Japanese invaders can disturb Jiangnan by crossing the sea?" Forget that a few plywood ships with guns on the shelves of Hongmao can make Fujian tablets unable to go to sea? If the sailors of Qionghai Town make a rebellion, the disaster will be far worse than that of the red hairs and the Japanese invaders, and from Tianjin, Songjiang, Fuzhou to Guangzhou, which seaport can block the strong ships and cannons of its sailors? Under the cover of the sailors, the land division can go ashore from any place, how to prevent it? Why not build a Great Wall along the coast? ”

Chongzhen was sweating profusely when he heard this. The Tartars have already made him anxious, if Qionghai Town makes another mess, plus the Liukou in the Central Plains, then it will not let people live? Is it to deal with them and to raise their salaries?

He was distraught and asked, "What is Changqing's good plan?"

"The minister doesn't have a good plan for immediate results, so he can only take one step at a time, why don't you let Wen Qiao sit down with Xia Nan and talk about it first, and see what his purpose is?"

Chongzhen paced back and forth, and after a while said, "Just according to what you say." Not only is Wen weak, you also go, after all, he is new to the army, and he is not very familiar with the affairs of the military department, you have been in the center for a long time, help the point, and don't follow the road of the south in the summer. ”

Wen Tiren replied quietly: "The minister obeys the order." ”

Yang Sichang also replied with some grievances: "The minister obeys the order." ”

After the two left, Chongzhen asked Wang Chengen: "Wang Companion, you have heard the whole thing in your ears, what do you think?" In his opinion, the eunuch is his own house slave, it is impossible to have two hearts, he is more reliable than the military generals of Wenchen, and he is more objective in seeing things.

Wang Chengen replied cautiously: "Long live Lord, the slave maid said something that should not be said, Lord Yang's discussion of peace always looks unreliable, if the Tartar has the strength to enter the customs, how can he really negotiate peace with the Ming Dynasty......"

"It's not your business!" Chongzhen interrupted him dissatisfiedly, "Just talk about Xia Nan." ”

Wang Chengen lowered his head, "Yes, yes, the slave is talkative." He sorted out his thoughts and said carefully: "As the saying goes, 'civil officials love money, and martial arts halls are afraid of death', whether it is Lord Yang or General Xia, they all have their own thoughts. The slave maid thinks that the matter of peace is very important, and the crime of General Soldier Xia is too appalling, the two things are intertwined, long live Lord should not listen to the words of either of these two people, in addition to sending Wen Ge Lao to participate in it, you can also send a lieutenant envoy from the palace......"

"yes, why didn't I think of that?" Chongzhen woke up like a dream, "What you said is very reasonable, so I will send a person from the celebrant to listen." The status can't be too high, and it can't be too low, just find a eunuch with a little less seniority! In addition, if Luo is raised, Jinyiwei will also secretly stare at ......"

Although he admired Yang Sichang's talent very much, and loved and hated Xia Nan, who was powerful in the war but arrogant, but as his own courtier, he could not judge by personal likes and dislikes, could not believe it, nor could he believe it all, supplemented by appropriate means to check and balance it was also an imperial trick.

After Wen Tiren returned to the mansion, he immediately arranged for someone to go to the military camp to inform Xia Nan, and discuss important matters in a green building in the south of the city in the evening. Since the emperor arranged for himself to participate in the negotiations, he had to discuss with Xia Nan the countermeasures to deal with Yang Sichang, so as to maximize his role as an "internal response". And in this sensitive period, it is no longer appropriate to receive Xia Nan at home, there must be a lot of eyes staring at Xia Nan in the open and secret, and entering and leaving his mansion will definitely expose the relationship between the two, so he chose to meet at a distance from the Wen Mansion.

Xia Nan naturally knew what was at stake, and after receiving the notice, he took a few people to dress up in disguise, and after dark, he quietly slipped out of the barracks.

As soon as he left, a large group of people entered the barracks in a hurry, Wei Lianheng was leading the soldiers to end their daily routine drills and prepare to return to the camp, and saw that this large group of people wanted to break into the place where Xia Nan lived, and stepped forward and asked: "Stop, who trespassed on my Qiong naval camp?" ”

The first person replied loudly: "But Captain Wei? It's me! ”

Wei Lianheng took advantage of the dim light of the lantern to see that it was actually Huang Mengjia, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked: "Mengjia, it turned out to be you, where were you during this time, why didn't you come back?" ”

Huang Mengjia sighed and said: "It's a long story, Yang Sichang of the military department did everything possible to prevent me from going out of the city, and he also wanted to find me from the head, but fortunately, the first assistant secretly protected us and placed us in a safe place......
