I am the carpenter king

Following Sun Chengzong to the back, the two sat down as guests and hosts. Xiong Tingbi once again raised his doubts and said to Sun Chengzong: "My lord, the restructuring of Liaodong has just been completed, and most of the soldiers are newly recruited. Many things have not been straightened out yet. , isn’t it inappropriate to send troops now?”

Xiong Tingbi couldn't understand why, although Jiannu sent troops to the northwest, it seemed that the rear was empty, and it was a good opportunity to send troops.But forging iron requires one's own hard work, Xiong Tingbi is very clear that he is not hard at all.There are 10,000+ people outside, although it looks majestic, but the combat power is still open to question!

With a wry smile and shaking his head, he glanced helplessly at Xiong Tingbi, and Sun Chengzong said in a deep voice: "Feibai, this year's military expenditure in Liaodong alone is almost 500 million taels of silver, which can be said to be the highest in history. Although it is the beginning of the New Army It will cost more to build it, but you have to understand that this is all money from the emperor's internal treasury!"

Hearing Sun Chengzong's words, Xiong Tingbi frowned. For defending the city and fighting, Xiong Tingbi thought he would not lose to anyone.But when encountering other things, Xiong Tingbi could only do nothing, looked at Sun Chengzong and said: "My lord, I have worked with my lord for a long time, my lord should know that I am a man!"

Seeing Xiong Tingbi with a dazed face, Sun Chengzong knew that he had spoken too deeply, pondered for a moment, and asked, "Feibai, Liaodong has today's situation, what do you think you rely on?"

Unexpectedly, Sun Chengzong would bring the topic up here. Xiong Tingbi knew that since Sun Chengzong said that, it must have a deep meaning.He lowered his head and thought for a while, and said, "Naturally, the adults are planning strategies and controlling the universe!"

Waving his hand, Sun Chengzong interrupted Xiong Tingbi's words, saying: "Even if the old man has great talent, he can only fail in the capital. Liaodong can only rely on the emperor today. The emperor appointed the old man as the chief assistant, and released the old man. Arriving in Liaodong can be said to be done with good intentions. What’s even more rare is the emperor’s unparalleled trust in this old man. The reason why there is not much opposition in the court is because the land in Liaodong is spent on money from the emperor’s internal treasury!”

At this point, Xiong Tingbi was naturally deeply touched. He was captured and taken to Beijing.If it weren't for the emperor, I'm afraid I wouldn't have figured it out.Seemingly knowing what Sun Chengzong wanted to say, Xiong Tingbi hesitated and asked, "My lord, is there some criticism in the capital?"

Gently nodded, Sun Chengzong said helplessly: "Although the emperor didn't mention it, I can know something, and these are things that have been expected for a long time. The court is not peaceful, and the emperor needs a big victory to shock the ministers." , this old man needs a big victory, and tell the world that this old man doesn't have the silver of the White Flower Emperor."

"Although that's what I said. But if something goes wrong, the efforts of the emperor and your lord will be in vain!" Xiong Tingbi frowned slightly, with deep worry on his face. Liaodong's situation has just improved, and he really doesn't want to There's nothing wrong with it.

Standing up slowly, his slightly old body suddenly glowed with the momentum of going forward. Sun Chengzong looked outside and said: "This old man is determined to put down the frontier fortress. We finally have a chance today to pacify Jiannu and Tartars. Naturally, we will not let go." Yes. As the saying goes, you need to be hard to strike iron, but what if we forge wood instead of iron?"

With a deep sigh of relief, Xiong Tingbi also stood up and said, "My lord is right. I think back then when I defended the city alone. The lower officials didn't have the slightest fear. Now that Liaodong has 20 armors, it's really frightening. No. If you can't even win the battle without the main force of Jiannu, how can you talk about He Liting sweeping holes!"

Smiling and nodding, Sun Chengzong said vigorously: "This is the Xiong Tingbi I know! Jiannu is extremely arrogant. He thinks we dare not go out of the city to fight, this time I will make them pay the price!"

"Your Majesty is willing to lead the way for Your Excellency!" Xiong Tingbi bowed and saluted, with a little fanaticism on his face and trembling body.

Walking to Xiong Tingbi's side, he stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder. Sun Chengzong said with a smile, "Go get ready! It's today to be named the Marquis and Prime Minister!"

That afternoon, a cavalry force of 2 people left Shenyang City to support Lu Xiangsheng and his party in Zunhua.Early the next morning, the army pulled out its camp to pay off debts, and the huge Sun Tzu chess fluttered in the wind.

The people in Liaodong set off, and the people in the capital have been away for three days. Everything has already started, and waiting is the final decisive battle.

The atmosphere in the Forbidden City has been very depressing these past few days. Emperor Tianqi seemed to be in a bad mood and punished several eunuchs and maids. For a while, everyone in the palace was cautious.At this time, Emperor Tianqi was standing in front of the map, frowning, looking at the map with a bit of worry on his face. Behind him was Liu Yijing, the second assistant of the cabinet.

Liu Yijing was kneeling on the ground at this moment, with his head down, unable to see the expression on his face clearly.Seeing that Emperor Tianqi ignored him, Liu Yijing took out a memorial from his sleeve, held it high above his head, and said in a respectful tone: "Your Majesty, I am old and weak, and I am not suitable to serve the Emperor. memorial to old age."

As if he didn't hear Liu Yijing's words, Emperor Tianqi still frowned and looked at the map, the atmosphere in the hall seemed to have dropped to freezing point.Seeing this scene, Wang Chengen on the side hurriedly called the eunuch and maid to go out.

Listening to the gate of the palace being slowly closed, Emperor Tianqi turned around slowly, and said in a serious voice: "Put away your memorial, are you persecuting me?"

"Your Majesty, the old minister dare not! The minister is indeed old and cannot do his best for the Emperor!" Liu Yijing put the memorial on the ground, kowtowed and said.

With a playful smile, Emperor Tianqi slowly walked back to the back of the Longshu case, and said without a trace of smoke and fire: "Now I am using troops abroad, and the government and the public are busy. At this time, what is my grand scholar thinking?" It's not how to share my worries, but how to ask for resignation." Glancing at Liu Yijing, Emperor Tianqi's voice suddenly turned cold, and said, "Liu Aiqing, come and tell me why?"

"Your Majesty!" Liu Yijing knocked his head on the ground with tears on his face, his body was trembling, but he didn't say a word.

Slowly nodded, Emperor Tianqi sighed, and said to Wang Cheng'en on the side: "Move a Jindun for Liu Aiqing, it's not good for her body at such an age."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Liu Yijing's heart was full of twitches, ups and downs.He really doesn't know what Emperor Tianqi thinks, and he doesn't want to resign, but this is a political method, and he has already made a move, so it depends on how Emperor Tianqi accepts the move.

After pondering for a while, Emperor Tianqi said with a slight sarcasm on his face: "I know that the public's reputation for me is not very good. Since I ascended the throne, many people have said that I do not follow the rules. If some people were not swept away in advance , I am afraid that the ears will not be so quiet at this time."

"Your Majesty's hard work is obvious to all. Whether it's inspiration or side work, the Emperor is the master of the center!" Liu Yijing said hastily, at this time there should be no hesitation or ambiguity.

As if he didn't hear Liu Yijing's words, the Emperor Tianqi said in a deep voice: "Sun Chengzong is my teacher, the chief assistant scholar of the cabinet, and he still holds military power in his hands. Many people have given Sun Chengzong too much power, and I am afraid that in the future they will I don't know what Liu Aiqing thinks about Chen Qiao's misfortune?"

Emperor Tianqi stared straight at Liu Yijing, with intense scrutiny in his eyes, and put his right hand on the thick memorial on one side, waiting for Liu Yijing's answer.

"Your majesty, I don't know what other people think, but I know very well in my heart that the emperor is wise and wise, and Mr. Sun is even more capable. It can be said that it is rare since the founding of the Ming Dynasty. Although Mr. Sun has the title of the cabinet down payment , but I have never asked about the cabinet, and I have been running around in the frontier in my sixtieth year, and I don’t know what to say other than admiration in my heart!" Liu Yijing’s face was very serious at this time, and his eyes met Emperor Tianqi’s. Watching, the voice is also extremely firm.

Nodding his head, Emperor Tianqi suddenly felt a little relieved on his face, and said: "When I cleaned the court, many people left, do you know why I didn't let you go?"

Liu Yijing shook his head slowly, he had been thinking about this matter, but he couldn't figure it out.Although he had nothing to do with the Liaodong case, Emperor Tianqi had no reason why he couldn't do without him.

"You were saved by Sun Aiqing. He told me that you are a person who does things. After he arrives in Liaodong, the cabinet can give you mathematics. He is very relieved. Sun Aiqing also told me that if necessary, he can straighten you up and let you To be the chief assistant of the cabinet." Emperor Tianqi looked reminiscent, as if these words were really said by Sun Chengzong.

Sitting there in a daze, Liu Yijing really didn't expect it, but Emperor Tianqi had no reason to be mad at himself.

Not paying attention to Liu Yijing's expression, Emperor Tianqi continued: "Facts have proved that Lord Sun is right. Liu Aiqing worked hard and did a very good job. I am very happy. I know that you did not do what happened this time, so rest assured." In the stomach."

"I'm so grateful, I'm sure I'll embarrass Your Majesty!" Kneeling down quickly, Liu Yijing burst into tears, and Emperor Tianqi went around in a big circle to comfort himself. Can understand the mind of Emperor Tianqi.

Smiling and walking down the Longshu table, Emperor Tianqi helped Liu Yijing up, and said in a soft voice: "Work hard, and you will be famous in history in the future. Zhen needs you, and Daming also needs you!"

These two words of Emperor Tianqi made Liu Yijing speechless, his lips trembled, but he just couldn't make a sound.

Not in a hurry at all, Emperor Tianqi quietly waited for Liu Yijing to recover, with a smile on his face all the time, but a cold murderous intent in his eyes.On the right hand of Emperor Tianqi, who had been placed behind him all the time, a memorial was tightly held in his hand, which read: Impeach Sun Chengzong, the chief minister of the cabinet, for illegal negligence!On the right side of the Longshu case, there are many such memorials, the top one is: Impeach Sun Chengzong, governor of Jiliao, for collaborating with the enemy!
