The governor of Fujian and the governor of Zhejiang have sent them to the capital, and these notes are directly sent to the cabinet, without going through six departments, and the content of the folds is the same, that is, the Jiangning camp has entered Fujian and Zhejiang, as for the purpose of Jiangningying's entry into the two provinces, the song is not clearly stated, probably because the governor of Zhejiang and the governor of Fujian both knew the relationship between Su Tiancheng and the imperial court, and they did not dare to explain the words, and the high-ranking officials who could achieve the level of governor had extraordinary political acumen. Before they figure out all the circumstances, they will never talk nonsense, not to mention that there are some situations ahead, that is, many victims in Zhejiang, including some victims in Fujian and Nanzhili, have gone to Shandong, and Shandong has accepted these victims, at such a critical moment, to say that Su Tiancheng and Jiang Ningying rebelled and invaded Zhejiang and Fujian and other places, it needs clear evidence.

After Zhou Kang returned to the capital, Zhou Yanru was very happy for a while, thinking that Su Tiancheng would stay quietly in Shandong, at least he would not cause anything, so that he would have a lot of room for maneuver, as long as nothing happened, he could say anything, and he could see it, and the emperor was also tired of it, and he also wanted to be stable.

However, the news that the Jiangning camp suddenly entered Zhejiang and Fujian caught Zhou Yanru off guard.

Secretly, Zhou Yanru didn't know how many times he scolded Su Tiancheng, he was not a fool, what was Su Tiancheng's purpose, he was very clear, Su Tiancheng had controlled Quanzhou in Taiwan and Fujian before, Taiwan is needless to say, the imperial court did not send officials to Lu at all, and it has always been the person directly arranged by Su Tiancheng to be responsible, but Quanzhou is different, the governor of Fujian can't manage the affairs of Quanzhou, Xiong Zijian, who is stationed in Quanzhou, completely controls the situation in Quanzhou, and everything is under Su Tiancheng's orders. Even the Yamen of Quanzhou Prefecture and County acquiesced in this situation.

From the geographical point of view, once Su Tiancheng controls Fujian and Zhejiang, the next thing he will control is the entire south, which is not a trivial matter, and the south is the economic center of the Ming Dynasty. The status is unshakable, if the south is really controlled by Su Tiancheng, the Ming Dynasty will soon collapse, when the time comes, I am afraid that Su Tiancheng will not need to lead the army to launch an attack, and the Houjin Tartars, who are dormant in Liaodong, will also attack on a large scale at this time, hoping to occupy more territory.

Zhou Yanru looked at the map for two days. finally figured it out, his so-called stabilizing the situation and stabilizing Su Tiancheng is just wishful thinking, Su Tiancheng will not be dormant, between him and Su Tiancheng, it is just a relationship of mutual use, Su Tiancheng hopes that he will stabilize the situation in the capital, which more or less explains. Su Tiancheng still didn't want to completely turn his face.

There are still a lot of troops that the imperial court can control, and it can be said that the situation is higher than when he first served as the first assistant to the cabinet. It is much better, and after the adjustment of the imperial court this time, it has further consolidated its control over the army, and most of the army can be directly mobilized, and things have developed to this point. Whether or not to prepare for war with Su Tiancheng needs to be decided by Zhou Yanru.

The cabinet finally began to discuss the affairs of Su Tiancheng and Jiang Ningying.

Chen Xinjia, Qian Qianyi, Liu Zunxian, Zhang Guowei, Fan Jingwen and others gathered together, plus Zhu Youxiang, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and these people came together to discuss how to deal with Su Tiancheng and Jiang Ningying's measures.

specially pulled Zhu Youxiang, although it can be said. Zhu Youxiang is the secretary of the Ministry of War, and it is normal to participate in such a discussion, but under normal circumstances, as long as Zhu Youxiang makes a proposal on behalf of the Ministry of War, he can not participate in this discussion at all, Zhou Yanru's reason for such an arrangement must be purposeful, Zhu Youxiang's identity is different, representing the royal family, if the emperor loses his temper because of such a thing, Zhu Youxiang can play a buffering role, not to mention that Zhou Yanru also found out that the emperor trusts Zhu Youxiang very much, and has the intention of letting Zhu Youxiang enter the cabinet. It's just that because of the things done by Zhu Xianxuan before, the emperor was a little suspicious, and he didn't put it into practice for the time being.

This is Zhou Yanru's helpless move, and it is also a measure to be able to divert contradictions and reduce pressure.

In fact, there are still not many people in the cabinet who are really willing to go to war, and according to the situation, the one who supports the crusade against Su Tiancheng, or the one with the most resolute attitude, is Qian Qianyi. Chen Xinjia has the most negative attitude, probably because in the battle of Liaodong, he suffered a big loss and knew the cruelty of the fight.

The governor of Zhejiang and the governor of Fujian, everyone has already seen it, and they know what to discuss today, after the cabinet is all adjusted, the last time major matters were discussed, it was when the officials were adjusted, but the situation was different this time, many cabinet ministers had discussed it in advance, and the cabinet discussion was just a formality, but this time it was different, everyone needed to make a clear statement, and it was a matter related to the overall situation of the imperial court, no one would be the first to express their position, even if it was Qian Qianyi, who resolutely advocated the suppression of Su Tiancheng, I will not stand up and express my own opinions when the situation is not yet clear, and if the opinions of the cabinet are different, or if the first and second assistants have already had ideas, then it will not be one person who stinks, and it will also arouse the opinions of others.

Zhou Yanru presided over the discussion, and after the beginning, the atmosphere was very dull, and no one expressed his position first.

Such a situation had long been expected by him, and the reason why Zhu Youxiang was asked to participate in the discussion was that Zhu Youxiang needed to express his position at this time, so Zhou Yanru first named Zhu Youxiang and asked the military department to first clarify its attitude on this matter.

Zhu Youxiang was a little annoyed, in fact, Zhu Xianxuan's experience had already made him sensitive, between the court and Su Tiancheng, sooner or later something would happen, from the perspective of personal feelings, or in terms of understanding Su Tiancheng, Zhu Youxiang even felt that if Su Tiancheng came to sit in the country, maybe the Ming Dynasty would be stronger, and Su Tiancheng's identity was not the same, he was a relative of the emperor, and it was not a big deal to make the Ming Dynasty stronger. It's just that such thoughts are absolutely not dared to be revealed.

Su Tiancheng's wisdom and the strength of the Jiangning battalion, Zhu Youxiang knows that if you want to say that the army of the imperial court is fighting with the Jiangning battalion, you can clearly judge that the army of the imperial court is not an opponent, and Su Tiancheng really made a move, I don't know how many troops will defect to the Jiangning battalion. But the huge imperial court, if it softens like this, it is impossible, the best way is to negotiate with Su Tiancheng, stabilize Su Tiancheng, and take one step at a time.

Zhu Youxiang looked at Zhou Yanru, looked at everyone, and finally spoke.

"Xia Guan thinks that the twists and turns of Fujian and Zhejiang, it has not yet been clear what the Jiangning camp is going to do, in this case, the imperial court should still have clear information, if possible, the imperial court can send a patrol to Zhejiang and Fujian to understand the real situation, if Su Tiancheng really rebelled, then it can not be polite, it must be ruthlessly suppressed."

Zhu Youxiang said very simply, a few words, on this issue, he didn't want to say more, transferred from Shaanxi to the capital, as the secretary of the military department, on the surface it seems to be reused, in fact, for his identity, it is not interesting at all, in Shaanxi has a lot of autonomy, can decide a lot of losses, but when he came to the capital, he soon fell into the battle of officials, and it was impossible to make any decisions on major matters.

Zhou Yanru had long expected Zhu Youxiang's answer, to say that Zhu Youxiang was grateful to Su Tiancheng in his heart, if it wasn't for Su Tiancheng's proposal that the royal family could enter the court as officials, many vassal kings still stayed in the fiefdom honestly, and they were not allowed to move without a holy decree, otherwise they would be impeached, and even lose their title, and where Zhu Youxiang did things, there were many shadows of Su Tiancheng left. It is very likely to make such a choice, Zhu Youxiang is the son of King Fu, and he has never seen it in the world.

Zhu Youxiang's suggestion is similar to what he didn't say, although there is no clear reason in the recital of the governors of Fujian and Zhejiang, some of the words are tacit, and it is difficult to say clearly, in fact, it is the sword pointing at Su Tiancheng's rebellion, according to the previous requirements, the imperial court must send a large army to suppress it.

After Zhu Youxiang finished speaking, Qian Qianyi's expression was a little unsightly.

The old Zhou Yanru spoke again.

"The suggestion put forward by Lord Zhu is feasible, the imperial court has made such a major decision, it cannot be rushed, no matter what, Su Tiancheng is the crown prince and prince of the emperor's Qinfeng, and now he is still the governor of Jiliao, and he was a cabinet minister not long ago, such a prominent identity, if the imperial court sends a large army to suppress it, it will definitely cause a great shock, but the twists and turns of Fujian and Zhejiang, the meaning is also very clear, so we want to discuss the most appropriate way today, you must express your own opinions, Once we have formed a unified opinion, we will start the emperor and finally make a decision. ”

After Zhou Yanru said this, Qian Qianyi's expression changed slightly, as for the rest of the people, everyone is clear, Zhou Yanru is cooling down, asking everyone to express their opinions, but they can't blame others, just say their own opinions.

This is Zhou Yanru's cleverness, discussing such a major matter, it must also be such an attitude, otherwise they will fight with each other, and they will not be able to say anything, and in the end everyone is likely to be angry, and the decision formed is also irrational, and the emperor may also be furious because of this, doubting the ability of the cabinet.

Everyone fell silent again, everyone was thinking, how to speak next, they had to think clearly, no matter what kind of approach they insisted on, they had to have a clear reason. (To be continued......)
