The sun never sets in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 736 The speaker is innocent

Gao Di was already very old, and he came out of the class tremblingly and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that the only urgent task is to send troops to rescue Hong Da."

Chongzhen stopped crying and asked: "Master Ge has a good plan to teach me."

Gaodi is an old man, already in his 70s, and he can see the changes in the court. He also went to the "Nanming" territory for inspection, and saw that the government and people there were prosperous.

He clearly realized that the Ming Dynasty was already hard to come back, and that King Nan would eventually rule the world. He had long warned his two promising sons, Gao Zhimou and Gao Zhiyong, not to look forward and backward, but to think about King Nan.

Gao Di looked at the emperor whose tears were still wet, and said quietly: "Your Majesty, can Daming still raise an army of more than 15 troops like Master Hong commanding Liaodong? The nearly [-] elite soldiers in Erka are vulnerable to a single battle, so is there any hope of going to Songshan to rescue the less than [-] strong army?"

This sentence pierced Chongzhen's heart again, and the emperor cried out of grief again.

Why is the child crying again? Old Gaodi looked at the young emperor, and then remembered that Nanwang, who was about the same age as Chongzhen, was giving advice on the country with ease, and sighed.

He said in his heart: "The situation in Ming Dynasty is so corrupt that it is really difficult for the emperor, and now only the talented and generous King Nan can turn things around."

He comforted: "Your Majesty, don't cry, and don't be in a hurry, the old minister still has more to say."

It turned out that Gaodi had a countermeasure, and Chongzhen quickly stopped his sadness and urged: "Ge Lao, hurry up, please tell me!"

"The only thing we can do now is ask Nanwang to send his troops to the north. Nanwang has a saying: Daming and 'Nanming' are brothers of flesh and blood, broken bones and tendons. Now that Daming is in trouble, His Majesty asks for help. Nanwang will definitely help."

Chongzhen did not expect to ask for help from "Nanming" all the way from thousands of miles away. He wondered: "But, but, Nanwang is thousands of miles away, and Songshan is imminent. Far water can hardly quench the near thirst!"

Gao Di said firmly: "As long as the King of Nan is willing to take action, what if Daming loses Songshan, loses Hong Chengchou, and can't come back with tens of thousands of elite soldiers? I am afraid that the King of Nan who wants to avenge the country and his family will kill Jiannu to death. Don't you want to stay?"

When the ministers of the DPRK and Central Committee listened to Gao Di's talk about the killing of Jiannu by the Southern King, everyone's eyes lit up, and the "buzzing" discussion became louder and louder. Everyone said that the Southern King was not what it used to be, and that it was completely impossible to go to Liaodong to kill a bloody slave again. can do it.

Wang Zhichen came out of the squad and said: "Your Majesty, the minister seconded the proposal. The King of the South took over the old nest of Jiannu more than ten years ago, and killed the Eight Banners in Shenyang Weili to the nines. This time, when he comes back again, the number of troops has increased by more than ten times. , it is only a matter of time before Jiannu will be wiped out."

Wang Chengen handed the emperor a scarf, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, please be safe and don't be impatient. I have the 'Nanming' powerful feudal clan in Ming Dynasty, and the 'God of War' army. A mere Dong slave jumping on the beam to provoke is purely self-defeating."

The emperor felt more comfortable, took the sweat towel and wiped the corners of his eyes, and said to the ministers: "My dear friends, the king of Nan is now attacking Siam, Lancang and other countries, and the war is not peaceful. At this time, he will send troops to Liaodong to help me Daming?"

Gao Di said: "Your Majesty, the old minister can guarantee that the King of Nan will not sit back and watch Daming be defeated by the Dongnu. As long as His Majesty sincerely asks for help, the 'God of War' army will return to Liaodong to give Jiannu a severe blow."

"Very good, very good. Of course, I sincerely invite Nan Wang to send his troops north to Liaodong. Who does Gao Aiqing think is the best person to send as an envoy to 'Nan Ming'?"

Zhang Fengyi, who had already entered the cabinet, saw that the emperor was going to invite "Nanming" to join him without any promise, which was too unkind.

He asked a question: "Why does Nanwang stand up for Daming? Is it just to avenge his family? I think His Majesty should also be kind to Nanwang so that the 'Nanming' soldiers are willing to go to the bloody battle in Liaodong."

Discussions started again, asking how much food and grain the King of Nan would need to deploy thousands of miles away. Some household officials were already educating their colleagues about the science, and the final figure was shocking.

Fu Shuxun, the Minister of the Household Department who just took office, said: "Your Majesty, the Household Department is already selling pots and pieces of iron, and there is no money or food at all. Besides, with the standard of double pay for the soldiers of the 'God of War', the Nanwang dispatched 15 troops. Nearly tens of millions of taels of silver, I thought that it was impossible for me, Ming Dynasty, to give Nan Wang money and food, and His Majesty could only make a difference."

The emperor and the ministers understood what Hubu Shangshu said. The imperial court must not be able to spend tens of millions of taels of military expenditure, so it needs to think of other ways to negotiate with Nanwang.

The ministers began to discuss again. Some people proposed to issue IOUs like last time, some suggested to find a way to pay part of it first, and some even suggested whether to lease some places in the south for Nanwang to operate for decades, and then use the taxes in these places to offset Southern King's military expenses....

Seeing that the opportunity came, Liang Tingdong came out of the class calmly and said: "Not long ago, there were rumors in the market that His Majesty wanted to marry Princess Kunxing to the 'Nan Wang' as his concubine. It is not a problem for the Southern King to command Liaodong to fight decisively and establish slaves."

There is a tacit understanding among my own people, so I can do whatever I want, Wu Xiang jumped out and clapped his hands and laughed loudly: "It's so good, 'Nanming' Daming is good for the country and the people, and I am willing to protect the media and go to 'Nanming' as an envoy."

Cheng Guogong Zhu Chunchen also came out of the squad and said: "The old minister is also willing to protect the matchmaker. If this good marriage can be facilitated, the soldiers of the 'God of War' will be more famous when they go north to Liaodong."

Seeing that the discussion of state affairs turned into a discussion of the marriage of the princess, and of marrying his own brother-in-law, the British official Zhang Zhi stared at the instigator, Liang Tingdong, as if he wanted to bite him.

Liang Tingdong smiled dryly and deliberately didn't look at Zhang Zhiji, he didn't care at all.

The ministers suddenly seemed to have taken medicine, and they were all full of energy. They were all discussing that if this happened, Daming and "Nanming" would really be hard to tell.It's okay for the old man to have the cheek to accept the filial piety of his son-in-law!
What the market said was completely a rumor spread by Wu Xiang. The purpose was to test the emperor's attitude. Liang Tingdong knew it well, and he first proposed that no matter whether the emperor agreed or not, Nan Wang should have left a good impression when he heard about it.

The speaker is not guilty, he will not step down because of a word, but it is possible because a word is in the heart of the emperor, of course the "emperor" here does not refer to Chongzhen, such a business with small investment and big gains, I am really sorry Liang Tingdong has been here for a long time High IQ with official experience.

Chongzhen had never heard of such so-called market talk. When the cabinet minister Liang Tingdong said it, two nobles jumped out and were willing to protect the matchmaker, which stunned the emperor for a while.

Chongzhen didn't make a statement, but suddenly his head short-circuited and he felt dizzy when the incident happened. After the emperor announced the reconsideration, he hurried back to the harem to see Queen Zhou.
