Chapter 1079: Mingzhi
Su Tiancheng, who returned to Dengzhou, could only enjoy the warmth of the family for a short time, and there were too many things waiting for him to deal with, and they could not be delayed, for example, Zhu Xianxuan's matter could never be delayed, Su Tiancheng believed that he led the Jiangning camp back to Dengzhou, if the emperor was wise, or obeyed the admonition of the ministers of the court, he would definitely give an order, asking him to continue to fight with the Houjin Tartars, in such a situation, Su Tiancheng could completely ask for Zhu Xianxuan and his family to come to Dengzhou.
Su Tiancheng is more worried about the fact that the Emperor Taiji of Houjin, as long as his mind is not dizzy and maintains his previous wisdom, he will also find a way, last year Huang Taiji was able to send an envoy to the capital to negotiate, and now he can send an envoy to bow down to the imperial court, once such a situation occurs, Zhu Youzhen may not be able to wait, in the eyes of the imperial court and Zhu Youzhen, Houjin Tartar is no longer the biggest enemy, he is the biggest threat.
This situation is a bit ridiculous, the emperor Taiji of Houjin must hate Su Tiancheng to the core, and he wishes that Su Tiancheng had some accidents, Zhu Youzhen and the imperial court actually think that Su Tiancheng is the biggest threat, and they must find ways to get rid of it.
This is the price of rising, the price that cannot be avoided, this is the game of power, to a certain extent, it must break out, the winner can only have one person, and one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers.
After the fold was written, it was quickly sent to the capital, and the rest was to wait for news from the imperial court, in this matter, Su Tiancheng had sufficient self-confidence, holding an army of hundreds of thousands, and his power had almost reached its peak, Zhu Youzhen was uncomfortable in his heart, and he had to endure it for the time being, this is the rule of the power game.
In the wing, Hong Chengchou and Qu Qingze were left.
Something that is a twist and turn. Both of them are clear, but when this recital was sent to the imperial court, all the situation changed, and to put it mildly, from this time on, Su Tiancheng officially fought against the imperial court.
Hong Chengchou and Qu Qingze must take a stand. As Su Tiancheng's most trusted confidant, of course the two understand the truth here, and of course, the two have different ideas.
As a minister from the imperial examination, Hong Chengchou's idea, after some twists and turns, it is inevitable that he will return to his hometown, and if he wants to say that he started the idea, he also wanted to be able to enter the cabinet. A very popular minister, he never thought of following Su Tiancheng, after all, it was the imperial court that sent him to the Jiangning camp, but after so many years, his heart has almost been integrated into the Jiangning camp, and he is very clear about the many changes that have occurred in the places where Su Tiancheng has walked. Needless to say, there are so many battles commanded by Su Tiancheng. And for so many years, Hong Chengchou has summarized all the battles, and he was surprised to find that the deployment made by Su Tiancheng was often started many years ago, don't look at the Golden Tartar after the defeat in Liaodong this time. In fact, as early as six years ago, Su Tiancheng began to plan to deal with the Houjin Tartars, and it was only natural that he had won such a major victory.
Secretly, Hong Chengchou compared Su Tiancheng with the emperor. As a result, he found that no matter in which aspect, Su Tiancheng is better than the emperor, and in terms of acting government affairs, the changes in Jiangning County, Henan Mansion, Shaanxi Province, Dengzhou, Laizhou and Qingzhou are far from what those adults in the court can do, and it is even more obvious that after Su Tiancheng leaves these places, there will be twists and turns in development, except for Shaanxi Province, the rest of the places are far less than before.
Not to mention leading the army, the Jiangning battalion founded by Su Tiancheng is already the most courageous army in the Ming Dynasty, and the task of exterminating the Houjin Tartars, except for the Jiangning battalion, no other Ming army can do it, and the slightly better Liaodong Border Army and Datong Border Army can't do it.
Since this is the case, Su Tiancheng can't be the emperor, if Su Tiancheng becomes the emperor, I'm afraid that there will be huge changes in the Ming Dynasty, not to mention the Houjin Tartar, it is estimated that everyone around will bow down to the Ming Dynasty.
After following Su Tiancheng for a long time, Hong Chengchou has understood many of Su Tiancheng's advantages, Su Tiancheng has always been targeted in doing things, he will never be blind, and he will not be bewitched by others, which is a quality that a superior must have.
Based on these considerations, Hong Chengchou chose Su Tiancheng and made up his mind to follow Su Tiancheng, he still has Xiao Jiujiu in his heart, and the court will definitely lose the wind when fighting with Su Tiancheng, and Su Tiancheng is willing to take the capital at any time.
As for Qu Qingze, his thoughts are much simpler, he is one of the officials who has followed Su Tiancheng for the longest time, and he has talked with Su Tiancheng the most, thinking about making Su Tiancheng the emperor, he is also a drum and shout, he once did things in the dark line of Jinyiwei, Qu Qingze has never had much confidence in the imperial court.
Because of some differences in his inner thoughts, Qu Qingze still spoke first.
"Dashuai, my subordinates have a few words, I don't know if I should say it or not."
Su Tiancheng nodded and did not speak, but the meaning was clear.
Qu Qingze no longer hesitated, and immediately spoke.
"In the imperial court, the taboo heart of the marshal is clearly revealed, and the subordinates have analyzed it according to a lot of information they have, the marshal led the army to conquer Liaodong, at such a critical moment, the court let Zhang Fengyi lead 30,000 troops to enter Dengzhou, this is simply an incredible thing, the situation in Liaodong was not so clear at the beginning, it is said that the court should send a large army to consolidate the situation in Fuzhou, Xuanzhou and Gaizhou and other places, but the court did not do this, this is not enough, can it be said that after the destruction of the Golden Tartars, It's just a personal matter of the big handsome, has nothing to do with the imperial court, the most puzzling thing is that the imperial court put His Royal Highness King Jin under house arrest, and ordered Lord Lu Shanji and Lord Xu Er to pay tribute, and the meaning of such actions is already very clear. ”
"What the subordinates don't understand is that even if the court is suspicious of the marshal, it shouldn't be at such a critical moment, do things that are quick for relatives and enemies, if there are unfavorable changes in the occupation of Liaodong, it is the court that suffers in the end, and the subordinates don't believe it, the battle of Liaodong failed, and the emperor can still sit firmly in the Forbidden City."
When Qu Qingze said this, Su Tiancheng had no expression on his face, but Hong Chengchou's face changed, and he was a little pale, Qu Qingze said this directly, Hong Chengchou still couldn't accept it immediately.
"Dashuai, the subordinates think that the court's suspicion of you has reached the point of no return, the subordinates are not welcome, the court no longer believes you, the next development, the subordinates dare to guess, the emperor decreed, requiring the marshal to completely exterminate the Liukou, there are always casualties in the fight, Jiangning Battalion exterminated the Houjin Tartars, suffered heavy losses, and was unable to fight again, at that time, the emperor and the court were afraid to do it, at that time, not only the marshal himself was difficult to protect, but the subordinates were afraid that the family would be ruined."
"Thinking of these, the subordinates are bold, the marshal must be ready, otherwise the tragedy of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge will soon appear, the marshal wrote a memo to the court, imploring His Royal Highness the King of Jin to come to Dengzhou to inspect, such a request, it must make the court uneasy, the emperor will also be furious, the relationship is impossible to reconcile, think about it, the subordinates put forward such a suggestion, if the marshal feels inappropriate, the subordinates are willing to accept the punishment."
After Qu Qingze finished speaking, Su Tiancheng did not speak immediately, but looked at Hong Chengchou.
Hong Chengchou in history, once written into the biography of the second minister of the Qing Dynasty, can be said to have ruined the reputation of his life, so Su Tiancheng also knew that at the most critical moment, Hong Chengchou may not be reliable, but the vast majority of people are like this, with the change of the environment, this can not be forced, nor can it be completely according to the previous history to look at everyone, maybe after so many years of conquest, Hong Chengchou has changed.
Hong Chengchou clenched his fists and spoke to Su Tiancheng.
"The subordinates have followed the marshal for so many years, and they know the wisdom of the marshal, and the subordinates agree with what the marshal said, the words and deeds of the marshal are not only related to the fate of the individual, but also to the fate of the lord and his subordinates, and the fate of many people.
The words spoken by the reader are different, simple and straightforward, and straight to the point.
Su Tiancheng sighed slightly.
"What do you mean, I understand, in fact, which scholar doesn't want to glorify his ancestors, don't want to make a big career for the court, but unfortunately many times, things backfire, when I first arrived in Jiangning County, I wanted to do a big job, speaking of which the emperor is still good to me, I have always trusted me all these years, but I also know very well that this trust is conditional, the emperor can no longer tolerate me, at this time, I am not only thinking about myself, but also for the people around me, I will never do anything about people and fish and meat, I am not so stupid and loyal. ”
"From now on, Dengzhou, Laizhou, Qingzhou, Fuzhou, Xuanzhou, Gaizhou, Taiwan, Quanzhou, Fujian and other places, the adjustment of officials, will not be called, everything is subject to the edict of the Governor's Office, we also have to strive for Liaodong, Datong to do this step, but under the current situation, we can not completely turn the face with the imperial court, after all, the strength of the Houjin Tartars is still strong, there is a possibility of a comeback at any time, eliminate the evil, once all the preparations are made, we will start to conquer the Houjin Tartars again."
"From now on, the emperor's decree and the edict of the imperial court cannot influence our actions, how to do it, it is all up to us to decide, in the next time, you have to instill this idea to many officials, I think they will understand, and it will be clear, once the Houjin Tartar is completely eradicated, the contradictions between us and the imperial court will become acute and reach the point of irreconcilability, and at that time, it will not be too late to turn the other cheek."
"There is one more thing, I am very worried, and it also needs to be prevented, after the golden tartar suffered such a heavy blow, the emperor Taiji is very likely to bow down to the courtiers, so as to get a respite, maybe the emperor wants to do this, so as to free up his hands to deal with us, if such a situation really occurs, the Ming is in danger, so this situation can not appear, we have to try our best to prevent it."
