Chapter 708: Sun Chengzong's Efforts (2)

After Sun Pei put down the letter, he walked behind Sun Chengzong and gently beat his back, because Sun Chengzong was too tired every day, and someone needed to beat his back and relax his muscles and bones, which became a habit.

Sun Pei knows that his father and Su Tiancheng are good friends, every time Su Tiancheng returns to the capital, he has to visit the mansion, sometimes, Sun Pei and several elder brothers, also talk to Su Tiancheng, through conversation, they are in awe of Su Tiancheng, although Su Tiancheng is not very old, but he knows too many things, and when it comes to some concepts of governance, it is far from what he can understand.

Every time Su Tiancheng wrote a letter, Sun Pei handed it directly to his father, and no one was allowed to read it or ask about it, this was a rule, and no one dared to violate it.

Seeing that Sun Chengzong was about to open the letter, Sun Pei consciously prepared to avoid it.

"Sun Pei, you continue to beat my back."

Sun Pei was a little surprised, hesitated for a moment, and continued to beat his back gently, while Sun Chengzong began to read the letter carefully.

Sun Pei felt it, his father's body trembled slightly, could it be that there was something big in the letter, his father saw Su Tiancheng's letter before, what was the situation, he didn't know what it was, this was the first time he saw it.

After Sun Chengzong read the letter, he closed his eyes and didn't say anything, Sun Pei was familiar with this action, and it was obvious that his father was in a state of thought.

After a long while, Sun Chengzong opened his eyes.

"Sun Pei, go and ask Sun Jiao, Sun Xuan, Sun Wei and Sun Yue to come to me. By the way, ask Sun Zhixin to come over too, I have something to say. ”

Soon, everyone came to the study.

"What I am talking to you today is very important, for so many years. As a high-ranking official of the imperial court, but I have never damaged the court because of my own selfishness, so far, you have not succeeded in studying, so you are all staying at home, Sun Siming and Sun Sizong relied on Su Tiancheng and became court officials, and Lord Su also persuaded me back then, saying that he wanted to take care of his family. But I am in the position of the first assistant to the cabinet, and the people of the DPRK and China are all looking at me, and I cannot show favoritism, although you are in a very good situation now, and you have received the respect of everyone, but this is all because of me, and you must be clear about this. Once I step down from the position of head of the cabinet, the brilliance around you. Naturally, it was bleak. ”

"Sun Quan has always stayed in his hometown, he is not young, and he doesn't have to continue to toss, just stay in his hometown and keep that family business, as for the capital. Sun Jiao, you just worry about it, take up this family business, and take care of everything in the family. ”

"Sun Chan, you have just reached the age of knowing the destiny of heaven. At this age, it is the time to be able to do things well, it is not good to be at home all the time, you still have to go out to do things, reading is a task, but it is not good to study hard, it is a good thing to be able to pass the Jinshi, in case there is no such opportunity, don't force it. ”

"Sun Wei and Sun Yue, you have not been very good at studying, don't force yourself, my consideration, do you also enter the army, if you want, I will write a letter to Lord Su, and ask Lord Su to arrange for you to enter the Jiangning camp, you don't underestimate the Jiangning camp, the talents who come out of the Jiangning camp are afraid that they will be the mainstay of my Ming Dynasty in the future."

"Sun Pei, you are still young, you still have to study hard, strive for high school jinshi, and live up to my expectations."

"Sun Zhixin, I thought, you should also follow into the Jiangning camp, follow Master Su's side, and learn some skills, so that I can rest assured."

After arranging everything, Sun Chengzong motioned for Sun Ji to stay, and the rest of the people left the study.

Sun Chengzong called the housekeeper and told the housekeeper that no matter who it was, he was not allowed to approach the study, and he had important things to do.

Sun Ji looked a little nervous, he had never seen his father so serious, leaving him alone to talk about important matters.

"Sun Jiao, what I told you today should have been told to your eldest brother, but your eldest brother is far away in Gaoyang County, presumably under normal circumstances, he will not come to the capital, I am old, I am afraid it will be difficult to return to Gaoyang County, so there are some things that I must entrust you."

"The situation in the court is unpredictable, you have always been at home, you have never entered the court, you are not very clear about the stakes inside, for so many years, I have never allowed you to have contact with anyone in the court, this is for the whole family, enter the court, although it is said that you can glorify your ancestors and enjoy the glory and wealth, but there are countless people, so you are ruined, and even the entire family, such examples, you have also seen, there are many such situations in previous years."

"As the head of the cabinet, I have become the target of the public, there are a lot of people who look at me, since I am dedicated to doing things for the court, it is inevitable to handle it impartially, it is inevitable to offend people, it is inevitable to have enemies, once I close my eyes, I am afraid that some people will think about calculating our family, in case such a situation occurs, you don't go to find others, directly find Lord Su Tiancheng, I believe that Lord Su will definitely come forward."

"Among your brothers, Sun Wei and Sun Yue's temper is a little big, and they often can't control themselves, so I think about sending them to the Jiangning camp, including Sun Zhixin, they enter the Jiangning camp, I will rest assured, as for your eldest brother, he has a gentle temper and is old, there will be no problems, your remaining younger brothers, Sun Pei has a bit of a youthful and old taste, you can cultivate it well, Sun Xuan has a calm personality, and he can grasp it when he enters the government to do things."

"Misfortune and fortune rely on blessing and misfortune, since you have provoked the heavy responsibility of the family, you must keep this in mind, I have experienced too much in my life, and I can go smoothly, even if it is lucky, I am alive for a day, the family may not have any trouble, once I leave, anything can happen, in case something happens, you have to remember, leave the capital immediately, don't covet the prosperity of the capital."

"Hometown will not be a peaceful place, if the situation changes, you must remember to take the people in your family to seek refuge with Lord Su Tiancheng, this is my request, you must do ......"

The study was quiet, and Sun Chengzong closed his eyes again.

A series of recent events have made him aware of something, but these things are not easy to say, and he can't make any judgments, Su Tiancheng vigorously rebuilt Dengzhou and Laizhou, which was expected, but Sun Chengzong felt that there was always something wrong with this, the imperial court did not pay attention to Dengzhou and Laizhou, and Dolgon's destruction in Dengzhou and Laizhou made the civil and military officials in the imperial court, when it came to Dengzhou and Laizhou, their faces would change.

The former prefects of Dengzhou and Laizhou were all brutally killed by Dolgon, and the warships of Houjin are still eyeing Lushun, who knows when they will plunder Dengzhou and Laizhou again, not only Dengzhou and Laizhou, Qingzhou, Jinan and Tianjin and other places, are highly nervous, the courage and cruelty of Houjin Tartar, the people here are clear, and the government is even more clear, so that the imperial court can not send the prefects of Dengzhou and Laizhou.

Su Tiancheng mobilized 10,000 soldiers of the Jiangning battalion and stationed them in Dengzhou and Laizhou, and after Yang Sichang went to Dengzhou and Laizhou to inspect, he put forward a proposal to put Qingzhou under the jurisdiction of Su Tiancheng, which was a practice of shirking responsibility.

In today's letter, Su Tiancheng mentioned two things, one is to request the establishment of a commercial wharf in Weihaiwei, with Weihaiwei as the only shipping port in the Ming Dynasty, and allow shipping in Weihaiwei, which is a request for the imperial court to open a sea ban, and the other is to request the formation of a Daming naval division in Dengzhou and Laizhou.

These are two extraordinary requirements, I am afraid that the ban on opening the sea will cause fierce debates in the imperial court, and many ministers will not agree, but the situation in Dengzhou and Laizhou is indeed a bit special, and the reconstruction needs to consume a lot of silver, and the imperial court cannot afford it, and it cannot afford it, so it can only be solved by the local government, and the income obtained from the opening of the sea ban can naturally make up for the gap in this regard.

The formation of a water division is also a sensitive issue, Fujian has Zheng Zhilong's water division, the strength is strong, but Zheng Zhilong can be asked to leave Fujian, enter Dengzhou and Laizhou, I am afraid it can't be done, the imperial court put forward such a request, Zheng Zhilong may not agree, in this case, in Dengzhou and Laizhou to form a strong water division, it is indeed necessary, otherwise the Houjin war ships stationed in Lushun may invade Dengzhou and Laizhou, and even Tianjin at any time.

The Emperor Taiji of Houjin has decided to form a water division, which means that Huang Taiji's eyes are not only looking at the Guanning Jin defense line and Datong and Ningxia, but also at Dengzhou, Laizhou and Tianjin.

Judging by the reasons, all this is fine.

From all these arrangements, Sun Chengzong saw the evil consequences caused by the golden spies after the last time.

If you put it mildly, Su Tiancheng's approach seems to be leaving a way back for himself, controlling Dengzhou and Laizhou, allowing maritime trade, which will bring a lot of wealth, who doesn't know that Zheng Zhilong has amassed huge wealth with a huge fleet, if Su Tiancheng can't see this, it is impossible.
