I am the carpenter king

In the first year of Tianqi, on June [-], it is suitable for weddings and funerals, and it is forbidden to break ground and move.

Forbidden City, Qianqing Palace.

Looking at the map in front of him, Emperor Tianqi frowned slightly. The memorial for Shandong has arrived, and the situation in Shandong has stabilized.Minister of the Ministry of War, Xiong Wencan, and Shandong General Yang Zhaoji have begun to shrink their troops. The rebels have no way to stand out. It is only a matter of time before the rebellion in Shandong is put down.

Turning his eyes to Liaodong, Emperor Tianqi frowned even tighter. Xiong Tingbi, the governor of Liaodong, had already accepted the paper, but it was just a paper for pleading guilty.Turning his gaze to Guangning, Emperor Tianqi also felt very uncomfortable. He didn't expect to let Jiannu play tricks this time.For Xiong Tingbi's judgment, Emperor Tianqi believed that the purpose of building slaves this time was Lin Dan Khan of Mongolia.

At the beginning, the alliance with Lin Dan Khan was just to deal with Jiannu, and the conflict between the Ming Dynasty and the Mongolian Tartars was irreconcilable, and it was only a temporary alliance.Emperor Tianqi didn't care at all whether Lin Dan Khan was destroyed. Anyway, Emperor Tianqi felt that he and the Mongol Tartars would have a battle sooner or later. How to get the most benefit from this operation was what Emperor Tianqi thought about.

Since Jiannu beat Lin Danhan, he might as well take Guangning back, after all, this is his place.Back then, the Mongolian Tatars took advantage of the defeat of the Ming Dynasty and took it there, and now it is time to take it back.But Xiong Tingbi was already doing this, and Emperor Tianqi was just thinking about it.

As for other places in Liaodong, Kaiyuan and Tieling were what Emperor Tianqi most wanted to bring back, and Fushun was not in a hurry.As long as Kaiyuan and Tieling are brought back, the connection between the Mongol Tartars and Jiannu can be blocked.Even if Hou Jin really took down Lin Danhan this time, it would be useless, and the Mongolian tribes and Jiannu would be cut off with a single knife.

As for the slaves of Zunhua, Emperor Tianqi didn't take it seriously.Sun Chengzong has already gone, with 7 people.[-] against [-], if Sun Chengzong can't win, then Sun Chengzong will really become a living. Emperor Tianqi doesn't believe that Sun Chengzong will be another Yang Gao.

Gently turning around, Emperor Tianqi looked at the minister standing behind him.Said in a deep voice: "Have you all read Xiong Tingbi's memorial? If you have any thoughts, tell them!"

"Your Majesty, the minister has his duty!" As soon as Emperor Tianqi's voice fell, a minister stood up, bowed to Emperor Tianqi, and said respectfully.

Seeing that it was Chengfeng, the household servant, Emperor Tianqi nodded slowly, and said with a smile: "Cheng Aiqing doesn't talk much all the time, but she does a good job as an official and has a good reputation. I haven't spoken for a long time. There must be one." Shocking words, Cheng Aiqing can say whatever he wants."

"Your Majesty, I feel that Lord Xiong cannot be blamed for this incident. It is not his fault. Lord Xiong is loyal to the emperor and patriotic, but he is a loyal minister of the country." When Emperor Tianqi said this to himself, Cheng Feng's expression did not change at all, and his expression was quite Said solemnly.

After listening to Cheng Feng's words.Emperor Tianqi was taken aback for a moment, he really didn't expect someone to speak to Xiong Tingbi.It seems that the elimination of the Donglin Party by itself is effective.Emperor Tianqi said in a deep voice: "Xiong Tingbi indulged Jiannu to rush into the Great Wall. This is already a crime. In order to clear his charges, he was eager to make meritorious service. He did not understand Jiannu's conspiracy. This is the second crime. But it is because of his loyalty to the country. No For the sake of the consequences, I have already issued an order to reprimand him. Let him behave well this time, make meritorious deeds, and Cheng Aiqing should not say anything if he begs for mercy."

For Xiong Tingbi, Emperor Tianqi naturally valued it very much.But since Xiong Tingbi committed a crime, he must be punished.It's just that Emperor Tianqi didn't think about how to punish him now, so he had to let him wait for the crime and make meritorious service.

After listening to Emperor Tianqi's words, Cheng Feng knew that Emperor Tianqi did not blame Xiong Tingbi. After pondering for a while, Cheng Feng continued: "Your Majesty, I think this is an opportunity. Jiannu is gambling! No matter whether they can win the bet or not , this time is an opportunity for our Daming."

Emperor Tianqi nodded lightly, and said with a serious expression: "Cheng Aiqing, if you have something to say, speak up. Although I am not a saint, if you can smell it, wake up and say it!"

"Yes, Your Majesty! I feel that we, Da Ming, have two choices now, both of which can benefit Da Ming in this matter." Cheng Feng looked at Emperor Tianqi once again, and he needed Emperor Tianqi's approval before proceeding. go on.

Emperor Tianqi didn't speak either, but nodded slowly, motioning for Cheng Feng to continue.It's just that Emperor Tianqi was very curious about Cheng Feng. He was the servant of the household department, and Emperor Tianqi also valued him very much.Cheng Feng's servant of the household department has done a very good job, but he has never discovered that he has military talents.

"Although we have always had an ally relationship with Lin Danhan of the Chahar tribe, this is based on the strong foundation of Jiannu. In fact, the relationship between our Daming and Lin Danhan is not very harmonious. Back then, Lin Danhan took advantage of our Daming He fought against Jiannu and attacked our Guangning City in Ming Dynasty. From this point of view, Lin Dan Khan was forced to form an alliance with us because of the strength of Jiannu." Cheng Feng looked around and saw everyone They all nodded and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Your Majesty, what Master Cheng said is right. As the saying goes, people who are not of our race must have different hearts. What's more, when the Taizu founded our Great Ming, he had already formed a deep blood feud with the Mongolian Tartars. This hatred is insoluble." The one who stood up was Yuan Yingtai, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry. He was also afraid that Emperor Tianqi was young and ignorant, and these things must be instilled in the emperor.

Emperor Tianqi was taken aback for a moment, why did it get involved in this?After pondering for a while, Emperor Tianqi understood, coughed lightly, and said in a deep voice, "Cheng Aiqing, continue!" As for Yuan Yingtai, Emperor Tianqi ignored him.

Yuan Yingtai, who was standing on the side, was taken aback for a moment. When he saw Emperor Tianqi's eyes, Yuan Yingtai wished he could slap himself a few times.Although the Tianqi Emperor in front of him was not very old, it was the emperor's scheming, and he really shouldn't have said these few words.

"Yes, Your Majesty! This time Jiannu broke into the Great Wall and attacked Guangning with only one purpose, and that was to contain our Daming's military power in Liaodong. After all, they will fight Lin Danhan, and it won't take long. It was too late for local troops to be dispatched. The last defeat in Shenyang gave Jiannu a clear understanding of our Ming Dynasty, and they urgently need to strengthen their own strength to fight against our Ming Dynasty. Jiannu itself has a small population, so they can only find ways to do so. The Mongolian tribes naturally became the first choice. As long as the power of the Mongolian tribes can be annexed, the power of Jiannu can be multiplied several times. At the same time, Jiannu can also obtain a vast grassland and run along the border of our Ming Dynasty. By then My Ming Dynasty will be very passive." Cheng Feng bowed to Emperor Tianqi and said respectfully.

Everyone in the hall nodded. What Cheng Feng said was very reasonable. This matter cannot be done by Jian Nu, otherwise it will be really troublesome.

"Your Majesty, I think you can order Lord Xiong to lead troops to attack from Guangning, attack Mongolia directly, and help Lin Danhan overcome this difficulty!" Yuan Yingtai was the one who spoke, and his face was also very solemn.

Looking at Yuan Yingtai with a serious face, Emperor Tianqi felt that it was a mistake for him to recruit him, but as the minister of the Ministry of Industry, if Yuan Yingtai really didn't invite him, he probably would have no face to continue to be this official.Yuan Yingtai is a loyal minister and quite capable, but his military talent is really poor.He also didn't understand the situation at the border, ignored Yuan Yingtai, Emperor Tianqi nodded to Cheng Feng, and said in a deep voice: "Cheng Aiqing, you continue."

Yuan Yingtai was taken aback for another moment, and then he wanted to say something, but was pulled back by Gao Hongtu, the servant of the Ministry of Industry behind him.Gao Hongtu doesn't know what to say to his superior, so don't say anything if you don't understand!But he still has patriotism, and he wants to say a few words about everything. Fortunately, Emperor Tianqi is wise, and if he really listens to him, he will definitely be full of mistakes and omissions.

"Yes, Your Majesty! If, as Lord Yuan said just now, our Ming Dynasty sent people to attack the grassland, with Lord Xiong Tingbi and Lord Sun Chengzong, I believe there will be victory without defeat. But if this happens, Jiannu will be devastated , and may even be wiped out by Lin Dan Khan of the Chahar tribe. Once this happens, Lin Dan Khan will become the real king of the Mongolian grassland. By that time, our covenant with Lin Dan Khan will naturally cease to exist, and the war will still accompany This is why we believe that it is not a good idea to help Lin Dan Khan wipe out Jiannu, or to sit back and watch Lin Dan Khan perish. This is what our Ming Dynasty should do if we want to gain the greatest benefit from this incident. standards." Cheng Feng bowed to Emperor Tianqi and said respectfully.

Slowly nodded, Emperor Tianqi was really satisfied, this Chengfeng is a talent!It seems that he should really be asked to do other things in the future. After pondering for a moment, Emperor Tianqi said with a smile: "Since Cheng Aiqing said so, it seems that there is a good way! Let's listen to it!"

Yuan Yingtai who was standing on the side finally understood why Gao Hongtu pulled him, and also knew why Emperor Tianqi ignored him, so he sighed sadly.It seems that I really don't have much talent for these things, so it's better to talk as little as possible in the future.

"Your Majesty, I didn't think of any good solution for a while, but I had some ideas, and I didn't know if it would work. I dare to speak out, and hope that the emperor will not blame me." Saluted Emperor Tianqi, Cheng Feng looked sincere Said.

Nodding in satisfaction, it is very rare to be talented but not arrogant!Smiling lightly, Emperor Tianqi said briskly, "Cheng Aiqing, what do you have to say!"

Anyone who knows Emperor Tianqi knows that the opposite Chengfeng is very satisfied. It seems that this Hubu Shangshu will be promoted by Emperor Tianqi soon! (To be continued..)
