East Factory Governor

Chapter 438 Quarrel
Qin Shuhuai pondered for a while, and finally couldn't help but said, "Your Majesty, the affairs of the three parties are of great importance. If the employment is not good, within two or three years, the thieves will be rampant. Regarding Chen Xinjia, I dare to say that this person is the governor of the three parties. It may not be usable. In addition, Wang Chengen's behavior is extreme and he has a strong desire for power, so it is not appropriate to use him to supervise the army. If the emperor really has no one to send, I suggest that Sun Ge should be used."

I thought to myself, you won’t be doubtful about recommending Sun Chengzong, right?In any case, Sun Chengzong is better than Chen Xinjia as the governor of the three sides.

Chongzhen was even more displeased.

Said, "Mr. Sun is nearly seventy years old, how can I bear to let him suffer in the land of Sanbian? I have investigated Chen Xinjia for a long time, and he is a great talent. I think it is very appropriate to use him as the governor of Sanbian."

His headstrong side finally showed.

Qin Shuhuai felt that there was no way to talk anymore today.

So he said, "Then, please ask the emperor to make a decision."

The tone was not too good, obviously dissatisfied.

This was the first major disagreement between the monarch and his ministers. If we only looked at their ages, it was nothing more than a quarrel between two equally arrogant teenagers.It's just that the place of the quarrel is in the Forbidden City, which is completely different.

After a long time, Qin Shuhuai stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I feel a little unwell after traveling a long distance, please excuse me."

Chongzhen knew that Qin Shuhuai was looking for an excuse, but he couldn't help but said, "Do you want me to ask the imperial doctor to show you?"

"No, it's just tired, just go home and have a rest."

"Brother Qin, how long do you plan to rest?"

"You don't know."

Chongzhen stood up suddenly, and said angrily, "Brother Qin! I just insisted on my own opinion, are you going to show me a face? Is this how you treat brothers? Is this the loyalty you told me?"

When he roared like this, Qin Shuhuai became angry immediately!

"Brother Huang! Don't you believe me until now? If I don't tell you my loyalty, I will help you raise money to stabilize the morale of the army, and I will help you clean up the Donglin Party that has ruined the country and the people and pushed Daming into the fire pit? Let me ask you a question." , What good does doing this do for me personally? What can I gain besides making me bear the unwarranted charges of the Lord of the Earthquake? "

A few words left Chongzhen speechless.

Qin Shuhuai's meaning is very clear. If I don't show loyalty and want to rebel, I may help you become a slave to improve your reputation, but I will definitely not help you raise money to win your army's morale, and I will not help you eliminate the Donglin Party. Because those people will only speed up the collapse of the imperial court!
Of course he would not directly say words such as rebellion, but Chongzhen could understand it completely.

Chongzhen paused for a moment, then said with little confidence, "No one says you have great merit, brother Qin's words really chill my heart."

Qin Shuhuai took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

Afterwards, he said calmly, "Your Majesty, it's not that I have to influence your thoughts, but that the Three Sides are the fate of the Ming Dynasty. Do you know why Gao Yingxiang and Zhang Xianzhong have developed so fast in the past few years? Because the Three Sides Merchants, officials, and the army have all established a tacit understanding with them! The businessmen on the three sides, in order to make huge profits, secretly send money, food and even soldiers to the bandits. And the officials and the army on the three sides, in order to falsely report their political and military achievements, often cooperate with the bandits. Acting together. When the officers and soldiers meet the bandits, they will fight in a decent manner. In fact, no one will be hurt. The thieves are regarded as cash cows, and the thieves are not afraid of seeing the officers and soldiers. Both sides get what they need and coexist harmoniously. The emperor thinks, are the officers and soldiers suppressing bandits or raising bandits? Therefore, the position of the governor of the three sides is very important. This person Not only must you have the ability to lead the army, but you must also have the ability to rectify the administration of officials and the army, otherwise Gao Yingxiang and Zhang Xianzhong will be full-fledged within a year or two if this continues! By then, it will be difficult for us to suppress it!"

Chongzhen remained silent.After a while, it finally calmed down gradually.

Said, "Brother Qin, I know you are loyal... In this way, I will think about the governor of the three sides."

The two took a step back each, and finally they didn't tear their faces.

Qin Shuhuai paused, and then said, "Your Majesty is wise, I think he will be able to select good ministers to stick to the three sides. Besides, I have something to report."

"Brother Qin, please speak."

"Since I don't want to go to the three sides, then I want to implement the martial arts alliance. If the emperor thinks it is feasible, I will do it. If I think it is not possible, I will not do it."

Chongzhen hesitated for a while, and said, "Are you in such a hurry?"

Qin Shuhuai said, "Then let's let it go. It seems that I can take a few days off."

Then he raised his head to see Chongzhen's reaction.

At this time, Chongzhen didn't know that in the next moment, every word he said would determine his fate.

That's right, Qin Shuhuai's mention of the martial arts alliance was purely a test.He wanted to know how much Chongzhen's trust in him was left.

He can give up on three sides, this is to reassure Chongzhen.

But he would never give up the Jianghe Gang and the Wulin Alliance, because this is his capital.

If Chongzhen didn't even want him to do the affairs of the Jianghe Gang and the Wulin Alliance, then he would not hesitate to find another way to achieve his goal.

This method may be a bit cruel, and the hidden option even includes meeting Chongzhen one day, but he will not rule out this option.

Of course he has the capital to do so.Not to mention, just by uniting with the Demon Sect, and with the hundreds of thousands of members of the White Lotus Sect, he can break arms with Chongzhen.

But he will never implement this option unless it is absolutely necessary.Because he didn't forget the boy who taught the world with him that afternoon.

Chongzhen and Qin Shuhuai looked at each other inadvertently, and a trace of loneliness flashed in his eyes.The once high-spirited and ambitious, seems to have been cast ashes by something.

There was a slight turmoil in my heart.

After thinking about it, he said, "Brother Qin, you should proceed step by step with what we agreed on earlier."

Qin Shuhuai breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that this meant that Chongzhen generally still believed in him.

He said with a sigh of relief, "Okay, then I will push this matter forward as soon as possible. If this matter can be achieved, the martial arts will become a great help in stabilizing the world in the future."

Chongzhen nodded and said, "That's very good. Brother Qin, since you're in poor health, go back first. Go back and rest for a few days, and it's not too late to go back to work, so don't get tired."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern, that minister will leave first."

Qin Shuhuai then launched Yushufang.

On the way back, my heart was heavy.

The same is true of Chongzhen.

"Go, call Teacher Sun over." Chongzhen said to Wang Dehua.

Wang Dehua responded and hurriedly went out to deliver the order.

Chongzhen took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and murmured in his heart: Do I want to gamble?
