After a while, Sun Chengzong walked in. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Chongzhen said, "Teacher Sun, I can't ask. ”

Sun Chengzong sat down on the chair that Chongzhen had prepared for him in an old manner, and then said, "The emperor is talking about the White Lotus Sect?"

Chongzhen nodded.

Sun Chengzong said again, "Since you can't ask, it's better not to ask." ”

"But I really want to know, what is Brother Qin's connection with the White Lotus Sect, and why didn't he tell me about it?"

"The emperor is in a hurry, I'm afraid Qin Shaobao is also in a hurry. It's just that he hasn't figured out how to tell you yet, so he has to stop mentioning it. ”

"He's honest with me, what's so hard about it? I don't blame him for cooperating with the Demon Cult in the first place, do I?"

"The emperor thinks about it, is it because he cooperated with the Demon Sect first, so he doesn't dare to say anything about the White Lotus Sect? Qin Shuhuai is a person who understands, he knows that the emperor has a dislike for him now, if he tells you about the White Lotus Sect at this time, he will not be able to please you. ”

Chongzhen sighed, "What Teacher Sun said also makes sense. Teacher, Fang Caizhen had a big quarrel with Brother Qin, and I felt very uncomfortable. ”

Sun Chengzong smiled faintly and said, "Does the emperor know why the kings before the pre-Qin Dynasty claimed to be widows?"

Chongzhen smiled bitterly, "Lonely and widowed, Qu Gao and widow, there is only one person in the world......"

"It's good that the emperor knows. ”

Chongzhen was silent for a while, and then said, "Teacher, I still believe in Brother Qin." If he had a different heart for me, he would never help me raise money, nor would he help me clear the Donglin Party. ”

Sun Chengzong nodded, "The old minister also believes it." It's just that the emperor, excessive trust sometimes turns into connivance, or even a trap. A trap that trapped both the emperor and Qin Shaobao. ”

Chongzhen frowned and said, "What do you mean by that?"

Sun Chengzong said, "If the emperor continues to let Qin Shaobao go on like this, he will really not be far from power." If this 'power over the world' is given by the emperor, then it may not be a disaster. But the problem is that his 'power over the world' was won by himself. ”

"What's the difference?"

"The emperor thinks, you have worked hard to make a table of good dishes, are you willing to throw them away? Also, he is willing to throw them away, what about the people who help him cook? Qin Shuhuai's subordinates now have a lot of fierce generals, these people are following him in this troubled world, what does the emperor think they are for?"

When Chongzhen heard this, his back was slightly cold.

That's right, even if I can trust Brother Qin, how can I trust the people under him? If one day, Brother Qin can win the world at his fingertips, will his people add to his yellow robe? Wasn't that exactly what Song Taizu did back then?

Chongzhen couldn't sit still when he thought of this.

He asked, "Teacher, what should I do now?"

Sun Chengzong twisted his beard and said, "The emperor needs to know two things. First, Qin Shuhuai is talented, if the emperor can make good use of him, pacifying the world and reviving the Ming Dynasty is just around the corner. The old minister dared to assert that looking at today's Ming Dynasty, no one can compare with Qin Shaobao. Second, Qin Shuhuai attaches great importance to righteousness, as long as the emperor does not give him the conditions to spy on the monarchy, he probably will not have any dissent. ”

"Probably?"

"Probably. Sun Chengzong nodded.

"Teacher, are you asking me to gamble on the Ming Dynasty and change it to a prosperous peace? What if Brother Qin really has a different heart?"

Sun Chengzong's originally half-squinted eyes slowly opened, and then said word by word, "The emperor is already gambling." Now that Qin Shuhuai holds the White Lotus Sect and the Jianghe Gang, and has a deep friendship with the Demon Sect, if he has a different heart now, can the emperor have a good plan?"

Chongzhen's body shook slightly, and he couldn't speak for a while.

Now there are many rogues in the Guan, and the Huangtaiji outside the Guanxi is eyeing the tiger and ready to make a comeback at any time. If Brother Qin took 8,000 elite soldiers of the Jianghe Gang and more than 200,000 members of the White Lotus Sect to join forces with the Demon Sect to rebel, I would ...... I've already lost half of it!

Therefore, I can only bet that Qin Shaobao will not rebel, I can only bet that he is loyal to me, and bet that he still recognizes me as a good brother?

Sun Chengzong saw that Chongzhen's face was slightly pale, and he was relieved, "The emperor doesn't need to be too anxious. At least judging from the current signs, Qin Shaobao does not covet the world. As long as the emperor does not give up the world to him, the old minister thinks that he will not have any different intentions. ”

"What do you mean, teacher?"

Eight words: use the right, idle the right. Just like this time, if there was no Qin Shaobao, he would never have been able to recover the three sides from Donglin's hand so easily. But after taking it back, the emperor will firmly control the three sides in his own hands. If there is a war in the future, the emperor can also send Qin Shuhuai to the expedition, but the military power needs to be separated, and he should not be allowed to take charge of too many armies alone. The same can be said for other major events. ”

Chongzhen nodded thoughtfully, "Teacher, I understand. ”

After Qin Shuhuai returned to the Jianghe Gang, there was an accident in the Jianghe Gang. They originally thought that it would take a few months, or even a year and a half, for the helper to pacify the three sides this time, but they didn't expect to come back so soon.

Several other halls came to inquire with Lai San'er and others, asking if the bandits on the three sides had basically been settled?

But the people who came back didn't answer one by one, and their faces were not very good-looking.

On this trip, more than 1,500 people from the White Tiger Hall went excitedly, but basically didn't catch any fights, and they came back just by looking at the scenery, and they were embarrassed to brag about it, how could they have a good face?

After Qin Shuhuai came back, he immediately sent someone to Tianjin, let Hua Shen and Lao Dao come over to report on their work, and also met with everyone by the way, drinking and bragging, these two people have been in Tianjin for a long time, don't be separated from the brothers in the gang.

Of course, it is more important for him to know if there is any noteworthy information recently, so that he can prepare in advance.

That night, Qiu vigorously set up a reception wine and feasted the brothers who had returned from the expedition. Qin Shuhuai was very happy, but because of his feelings, he still attended for a while, drank a few glasses of wine with the brothers, and then returned to the back hall early.

After returning to the back hall, he went to Qi's room and told Qi the news that Wang Huazhen had been arrested.

Qi listened to it, and the old tears were rampant.

"Shuhuai, you must tell the emperor that this person has a lot of blood debts, and you must kill him in order to pay tribute to the brothers who died in Shenyang City!"

Qin Shuhuai said truthfully, "This time, his case will be tried by the Third Division. The people in the three divisions are basically Donglin Party, and it is estimated that at most they will only sentence him to prison and will not kill him. ”

Qi was furious, gritted his teeth with a stick, and said sharply, "If he doesn't die, how can he snow the grievances of the Chen family, how can he be so angry with so many soldiers? Shuhuai, you are the young protector of the dynasty, the scholar of Wuyingdian, you are very important in the court, and you are a big celebrity in front of the emperor, you must let him die!

Qin Shuhuai nodded and said calmly, "Grandma is not angry." Don't worry, with his grandson here, he has to die if he doesn't die. ”

After hearing this, Qi nodded vigorously, "Okay! Okay! With my grandson's words, grandma will be relieved! Grandma kept this old life just to see this day!"

After Qin Shuhuai came out of Qi's place, he returned to the house. Chen Qing'er had already washed his feet, he took a bath for a while, left all the sorrows in his mind behind, and then lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

In the evening of the next day, Hua Shen and Lao Dao rushed to the Jianghe Gang, and when the two met Qin Shuhuai, they didn't even greet each other, and bluntly said that they had important information!
