East Factory Governor

Chapter 703

No matter Chongzhen, Sun Chengzong or Qin Shuhuai, they have all seen this realistic problem.

Sun Chengzong's idea was that since Qin Shuhuai would not take the initiative to rebel, then he would not take the initiative to win over the courtiers and form a partisan.But the courtiers were not sure.In the Ming Dynasty, it had long been a practice for courtiers to find backers to form cliques. Sun Chengzong had reason to worry that those courtiers would take the initiative to curry favor with Qin Shuhuai.

And there is only one result for everyone to curry favor with Qin Shuhuai, that is, after the Donglin Party, there will be a "Qin Party" in the court.

At that time, Qin Shuhuai will really be able to cover the sky with one hand, then there will be more and more crazy people who want to add a yellow robe to him!
When these people are enough and crazy enough, will Qin Shuhuai just be a courtier with peace of mind?

No one can guarantee this.

Therefore, in order to prevent this from happening, Sun Chengzong came up with this trick.

By letting Qin Shuhuai preside over the Beijing inspection, and then dismissing all the officials who gave gifts to investigate, let Qin Shuhuai's "iron and selfless" reputation spread throughout the officialdom, so as to cut off the court officials' idea of ​​currying favor with him.

Chongzhen looked at Qin Shuhuai with a smile, he thought Mr. Sun's plan was perfect.

Firstly, it can raise money for disaster relief, secondly, it can prevent Beijing officials from defecting to Qin Shuhuai, and most importantly, his doing so will not damage Qin Shuhuai's reputation at all, and it can even help him win the name of benevolence and righteousness, so it will not hurt the brother's kindness at all.

Well, it's important not to hurt the brotherhood.

Qin Shuhuai saw Chongzhen's intentions, but had no choice but to pretend not to know.

Some things are better to be confused.

So he smiled wryly, "The emperor really took great pains for those disaster victims, and I also obeyed this way."

"Routines?"

"Uh, that means an ingenious idea."

"Hey, it's rare that Brother Qin will admire me once? Haha, great, great."

With that said, Chongzhen took out an object from his sleeve and handed it to Qin Shuhuai.

Qin Shuhuai took a look and saw that it was a colorful clay figurine, lifelike and exquisite.

It's just not worth a few dollars, and it looks like a street stall.

So he joked, "Brother Huang has become more and more stingy recently? I thought you gave me some treasure."

Under the sun, he is probably the only one who dares to dislike what Chongzhen sent to him face to face.

Of course, when he said such things, he would directly refer to Chongzhen as "Brother Huang" and switch his status as a monarch and minister to that of a close friend.

Chongzhen said solemnly, "I won this when I was guessing lantern riddles in the Lantern Market. You take it to coax your wife, and keep it to calm her down."

While talking, he patted Qin Shuhuai's shoulder again, winked and said, "Sister-in-law Shi Wei, I still understand a little bit. Brother Qin wronged her just now, if you don't coax her well, I'm afraid I won't sleep with you at night. "

"Brother Huang has the nerve to make sarcastic remarks here." Qin Shuhuai said angrily.

"Haha, am I not here to help you?"

"Come on, obviously you want to go out of the palace to play, okay?"

Chongzhen chuckled, then paused, and said with some emotion, "Brother Qin, do you know how I felt in a trance when I was on Chang'an Street just now?"

Qin Shuhuai teased, "It's probably a feeling of having fun."

"No, it's the feeling of a prosperous age coming. There are people coming and going on Chang'an Street, and everyone has a cheerful smile on their face. I was thinking, if all the kings and lands in the world had such a prosperous scene, then How nice it would be."

Qin Shuhuai nodded, "There will be such a day. The weakness of our Ming Dynasty is not because of the weakness of the people, but because of the weakness of the country. If the emperor can work hard, revive the military prestige of the Ming Dynasty, protect the peace of the [-] million compatriots, and implement it with the determination of a strong man. New policy, then I dare to say that within five years, Ming will be able to surrender to the barbarians, and within ten years, the prosperous age will reappear! The emperor’s generation of holy masters, the great achievements of the future, will be recorded in the annals of history forever, and shine through the ages!"

The sonorous and forceful words made Chongzhen's blood ignite.

He said seriously, "Brother Qin, I want to thank you! If you hadn't managed the world for me in the past few years, conquered the South and the North, and got rid of the stubborn diseases that afflicted Daming one after another, I really don't know where I would be at this time. What kind of situation is there?"

"Brother Huang said some pretty words again, maybe he wants me to do something unbearable again? But let's talk about it first, it's okay to fight, and then I can't go to extort people's money. I want to save face."

"Brother Qin, I'm not joking with you. I said this to let you understand how important you are to me." Chongzhen sighed, "That's why I heard you came back and ran out of the palace overnight to see you For the sake of this, can you stop doing such things as being alone in danger in the future?"

Qin Shuhuai froze for a moment, then said, "The emperor already knows?"

Chongzhen said, "Let me explain first, I didn't send anyone to watch you. It's just that you rode out of Shanxi and entered Gansu by yourself, and many people saw it. Why didn't you discuss it with me in advance? Do you know how many days I was restless after hearing the news?"

Qin Shuhuai smiled wryly, "The situation is urgent, so I have no choice but to act first. However, I was lucky, and this trip to Gansu finally yielded something."

"What harvest?"

"Your Majesty, the Demon Cult is preparing to withdraw its troops!"

"Really?" Chongzhen stood up suddenly.

"It's true. I have informed Hong Chengchou, and I believe that within a day or two, the emperor will receive his report."

Chongzhen was overjoyed, and couldn't help saying repeatedly, "Great! Great! Brother Qin, tell me how you did it! Haha, you must have wonderful stories along the way, I want to hear them!"

"Okay, since the emperor wants to hear it, I will tell you slowly."

"Wait a minute, I'm a little hungry, let someone bring some food and wine, let's talk while eating. Hehe, it's Lantern Festival night, I'm going to rely on you not to leave."

Qin Shuhuai had black lines all over his head, thinking that you must be too blind to see.Good night during the festive season, why do you want me to put my wife aside to chat with you?
And you, as the emperor, even sent a broken clay figurine when you came to visit, but it would be a loss for me to let you have a meal.

No matter what, since getting to know this kid, have you done less loss-making business?

After slandering for a while, he went out and called Qiao Lao Si to let him prepare food and drinks.

At the same time, he gave the clay figurine to Qiao Laosi and asked him to hand it over to Qing'er. At the same time, he asked him to bring a message, saying that it was specially bought by the Duke at the flower market, and he traveled several miles.

Not long after, Chen Qing'er came in with some servants bringing some wine and food.

Although she still looked angry when looking at Qin Shuhuai, but she was willing to deliver the food in person, which showed that she forgave him.

Qin Shuhuai couldn't help but feel happy, women in this era are so easy to coax.

After closing the door, Qin Shuhuai and Chongzhen were roasting and drinking wine, and told the whole trip to Gansu from beginning to end.

Of course, some "artistic processing" with embellishments and embellishments is indispensable. In addition, the matter itself is indeed ups and downs, and there is even the drama of the confrontation between two masters in the world, which is naturally described by Qin Shuhuai as amazing, compared to ordinary storytellers on the market. To be wonderful.

Chongzhen was completely fascinated when he heard it, sometimes he laughed and sometimes became nervous, sometimes scolded his mother and sometimes applauded, he really listened to this as a story.

After talking until midnight, Qin Shuhuai finally finished the whole thing.

Chongzhen was still immersed in emotions.

After a long time, he said, "Brother Qin, in this way, we can finally free up our hands to deal with Jiannu and Mongolia! I can't wait!"

Qin Shuhuai added, "Besides them, there are Yarkand and Junggar! Daming not only wants to pacify the northern border, but also recover the western regions! Because these territories are all ours!"

Chongzhen stood up excitedly, and said with bright eyes, "Yes! These sites are all ours!"

But then, he regained his senses.

"It's just Brother Qin, if the civil strife is initially determined, we may have to wait a few years if we want to do something big."

With a wry smile, he said again, "Zhen, I really have no money this time."

Qin Shuhuai said calmly, "Your Majesty, now that the Donglin Party has been wiped out, why is it difficult for us to ask for money?"
