Chapter 99 The Prime Minister Is Riding a Boat?
Beijing, inside the Forbidden City, Shen Shichu.

Emperor Chongzhen came to the Wenhua Palace on his imperial chariot, and the cabinet minister Yang Sichang was already waiting for him here.

After Yang Sichang respectfully bowed to Chongzhen, he heard Chongzhen ask him: "Sir, what do you want to play?"

He knelt down again, and then replied: "I beg to see Your Majesty on the matter of the Grand Scholar Liu Yuliang's supervisor."

Chongzhen sat on the imperial throne, looked at Yang Sichang with a vague look, and said, "I have read his memorial, sir, what's your opinion?"

Yang Sichang didn't dare to raise his head, but bowed his head lower, and said: "Your Majesty read Yuliang's memorabilia, and immediately ordered him to go to the front enemy to replace Lu Xiangsheng, Governor Zhu Zhenqin, and fight against the captives. Yuliang's reliance and deep expectation.

However, Yuliang supervised the army with the dignity of the chief assistant and the majesty of the emperor, and his status was actually higher than that of the governor.

If it is only the military affairs of Governor Lu Xiangsheng, his status is no more than a governor, and his command is no more than Lu Xiangsheng's existing more than 1 remnant troops.This lost the original intention of the first assistant acting as the emperor's teacher. "

After hearing Yang Sichang's replay, Chongzhen asked with some doubts: "Could it be that he is not allowed to go to supervise the teacher?"

Seeing that Emperor Chongzhen had been persuaded, Yang Sichang continued to play in a soft voice: "Liu Yuliang's play is a request to supervise the army, not to be the governor himself.

Kuang Lu Xiangsheng failed in his mission and missed the opportunity to fight, and he deeply owed the emperor's appointment, but the current military situation is urgent, and it is really inappropriate to face the enemy and change commanders, so as not to affect the morale of the army.Please ask the emperor to punish Lu Xiangsheng slightly, so that he will still be the governor, and he will take the blame and make meritorious deeds, so as to see the aftermath. "

After listening to Yang Sichang's replay, Chongzhen also confirmed his view on Liu Yuliang's mind, so he asked further: "What about Liu Yuliang?"

Yang Sichang then replied: "Your Majesty, I beg you to still follow Liu Yuliang Yuanshu's request and send him to inspect the army."

Chongzhen leaned back on the throne, he thought about it carefully in his heart, and felt that Yang Sichang's words were also very reasonable, and he regretted his impulsiveness, the edict was issued in a hurry.

"Okay." He said to Yang Sichang, who was kneeling in the hall: "Just follow Aiqing's instructions, let go of the previous edict, and send Liu Yuliang to inspect the troops."

"Follow the order!" Yang Sichang kowtowed again.

Emperor Chongzhen said earnestly: "At present, the captives are getting deeper and deeper, and Jifu prefectures and counties have collapsed, which makes me very worried. Now that the first assistant Liu Yuliang is willing to act as my supervisor, I am very pleased. I hope he can make the trip as soon as possible, don't delay. Yes, sir please get up!"

Yang Sichang heard Chongzhen's words, but he didn't get up, he still knelt on the ground and said: "Chen, there is still one thing to tell Your Majesty."

"What else is there?" Chongzhen looked at Yang Sichang suspiciously.

Kneeling on his knees, Yang Sichang played back, "Yang Tinglin's bullets were handed over to the cabinet by the emperor, and I have seen them. With a blunt talent, I have been responsible for the emperor's appointment. I really deserve to die."

The emperor's kindness is so great that he can't bear to kill him.The minister is not a grass, how can he not be grateful!As long as it is beneficial to the country, the minister is willing to be smashed to pieces. "

When Emperor Chongzhen heard the words, he cherished Yang Sichang more and more, and comforted him with gentle words: "I have my own opinion on this matter, and Ai Qing doesn't have to take it to heart."

Yang Sichang said in a soft voice unhurriedly: "I was born in the Holy Dynasty, and I am deeply grateful for the kindness of knowing you. Not only do I not care about this, but I am willing to take this opportunity to recommend talents for His Majesty to serve the country."

The doubts on Chongzhen's face became heavier, and he asked, "Who do you want to recommend?"

I saw the cabinet minister Yang Sichang bowed his head even lower, and it had already been pasted to the bluestone bricks on the ground. Then he played softly: "I plan to recommend Yang Tinglin as the head of the Ministry of War, and Zuolu Xiang praised the painting of military affairs to show what he has learned in his life. .”

"Does he understand the matter of marching and fighting?" Chongzhen looked suspicious again.

Yang Sichang respectfully knelt on the ground and continued to play: "Yang Tinglin usually pays attention to the study of the world, and is also very familiar with ancient and modern military strategies, which is not comparable to ordinary Confucian officials. The current military situation is urgent and needs talents.

If he can go to the front of the army to help Lu Xiangsheng strategize and assist in the military, he can give full play to his talents and serve the country better than serving in the Imperial Academy. "

Emperor Chongzhen saw that Yang Sichang was very sincere and had no intention of revenge, so he couldn't help but praised him in his heart, and said with a smile on his face: "Qing can donate to eliminate personal grievances, and to promote talents for the court. The wind is really comforting. I know that Yang Tinglin is a loyal minister who dares to speak, but he is a bit extreme."

Seeing that the matter had been accomplished, Yang Sichang hurriedly said more respectfully: "Your Majesty is wise and knows Ting Lin well, so he does not want to criticize Ting Lin. In fact, Ting Lin just misheard the rumors and didn't know the truth. His intentions are very good. "

Chongzhen nodded, and said kindly: "Okay, according to Aiqing's play, he will be given the post of Fang Sizhu, and he will go to Lu Xiang to praise the painting before he is promoted to the army."

"Follow the order!" After receiving the order, Yang Sichang knelt down and thanked the emperor for his kindness.

…………

Withdrew from the Wenhua Hall and walked through a narrow passage, Yang Sichang returned to the cabinet office.

Instead of going back to his private room, he first walked into the room of Liu Yuliang, the chief assistant of the cabinet, and told Liu Yuliang in detail about the process of meeting the emperor just now.

After hearing this, Liu Yuliang was very happy and thanked Yang Sichang repeatedly.

In particular, when Yang Sichang told the story of recommending Yang Tinglin before the emperor, Liu Yuliang and several other ministers who came to inquire about the news all praised Yang Sichang for being an ancient minister.

Second assistant Xue Guoguan is a very scheming person, although he has already seen through the real purpose of Yang Sichang's recommendation of Yang Tinglin, which is to drive this daring Hanlin official out of the court and send him to a place where soldiers are in danger.

But he cupped his hands to Yang Sichang with a smile and said: "Brother Wenqiang, it's rare, rare! As the saying goes, 'the prime minister's belly is a boat', that's what it means."

Yang Sichang replied with a humble face: "The student has a family friendship with Bo Xiang, and there is no grudge in his heart, and he has always admired his knowledge and character.

A man in his thirties will inevitably be a little angry. Not only will the students not take it to heart, but they will also borrow a lot from him in the future. "

"Rare! Rare!" The colleagues in the public house praised in unison.

Yang Sichang bid farewell to everyone, returned to his public room, changed into court clothes under the service of the head class, sat in the grand teacher's chair, took a cup of fragrant tea, took a sip, and showed an unusual evil smile at the corner of his mouth, Said silently in my heart:
"Yang Huzi, go to Governor Lu's army to admire the painting, don't fire empty cannons in the court, go to the army to teach you to learn, it is not easy to fight against the Manchus!"

…………

After Yang Sichang's resignation, Emperor Chongzhen was still in the Wenhua Palace, waiting for Wang Chengen to draft an edict for him.

After a while, Wang Cheng'en brought up the draft of the imperial edict.

There are two things in this manuscript:
One is to send the chief assistant Liu Yuliang to inspect the armies, and the other is to change Yang Tinglin to be the head of the Ministry of War, and go to Lu Xiang to praise the painting before he is promoted to the army.

Emperor Chongzhen leaned wearily on the throne, read the manuscript carefully, and said to Wang Chengen: "Send it immediately, don't delay!"
