Han ride

Chapter 248

At this time, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't care less about other things. When he knew that Li Xin had already sent reinforcements from Liaodong, and might have crossed the sea and entered Shandong, Emperor Chongzhen knew that his thoughts were just wishful thinking.Emperor Chongzhen completely gave up on killing Li Xin in Dengzhou, Shandong.

"Your Majesty, Li Xin was a criminal at the beginning, and hundreds of soldiers defeated Jiannu for my Ming Dynasty, so that Jiannu did not dare to go south for several years. Such a credit, the imperial court did not reward him for his meritorious deeds, which has already made the world laugh, but Li Xin If there is no resentment, instead please lead the army, sweep the grasslands, defeat Lin Danhan, restore the former Han homeland, and expand thousands of miles for our Ming Dynasty. The imperial court only appointed him as a commander. Not to mention that the frontier army united with the Mongol Tartars to attack our general, but they even tried to capture the family of the general. Your Majesty, no matter if this kind of thing succeeds or fails, his reputation will not be lost at all, but it is Your Majesty who will lose it. Your majesty!" Wen Tiren knelt on the ground fiercely, took off his black gauze hat, revealing a trace of gray hair, only to hear his forehead knocked on the gold bricks on the ground, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, today, I have to say Li Xin, this person is a genius through the ages. Looking at the famous generals in our dynasty, none of them are his opponents. Why didn't the court accept such a person for his own use, but instead pushed this person into the arms of rebellion? Li Xin only led five The ten cavalrymen recruited and accepted rebels for the imperial court. This man fought hard on the battlefield, captured Dengzhou for the imperial court, and destroyed the rebel lair. Regardless of personal losses, this man helped the imperial court to relieve the victims of disasters in Shandong, so that millions of victims in Shandong could live, and the imperial court did not use them. Worried about Shandong after the war, Your Majesty, such a person, has to bear the slander of the court, tens of thousands of troops attacking thousands of meritorious ministers, and such things spread, which will make people in the world look at the court, how to treat the emperor, This makes it impossible for the people with lofty ideals in the world to serve the imperial court. The internal strife in the imperial court has not been eliminated, and the foreign troubles are still there, so it is necessary to use weapons. Not to mention whether it is possible to kill Li Xin at this time, so what if he kills Li Xin? His 10,000 + The army will immediately attack the Xuan Mansion, Your Majesty, how will the court resist at that time?" Wen Tiren did everything he could to drive Zhou Yanru out of the court.

Emperor Chongzhen's face turned red and then purple when Wen Tiren said it, his fists were clenched tightly, and there was a hint of embarrassment in his eyes.No matter what, he also admitted that the warm words in front of him were a bit exaggerated, but there was some truth in what he said.

"Then what should we do?" Emperor Chongzhen asked hastily after struggling for a while.

"Your Majesty, if you want to accept Li Xin for your own use, firstly, your Majesty must severely punish those who abolish public affairs for personal reasons, and secondly, increase your ranks to Li Xin. Let Li Xin feel that the Emperor loves him. " Wen Tiren said without thinking.He knew that Emperor Chongzhen was not worried about Li Xin's talents, but worried about Li Xin's [-] troops. More importantly, since Li Xin's reinforcements had arrived, it was impossible to kill Li Xin.So let's just end this matter decently.

"Severe punishment?" When the Emperor Chongzhen thought of Zhou Yanru, his eyes showed a trace of anger. Just because of what Wen Tiren said, if Zhou Yanru hadn't repeatedly interfered, how could Chongzhen have fallen into such an embarrassing situation? If it is used by him, when the time comes, the encounter between the monarch and his ministers may become a good story again.At this time, he wished to drive Zhou Yanru out of the court immediately.But after thinking about it, this matter is still proceeding slowly.

"Tell me, then, how to win over Li Xin!" Emperor Chongzhen's words instantly cooled Wen Tiren's hot heart, but he was not discouraged. If Zhou Yanru simply came down like this, then he would not be Zhou Yanru.But it is enough to let Emperor Chongzhen remember Zhou Yanru's mistakes.

"Fenghou." Wen Tiren said without thinking: "According to Li Xin's achievements, he has expanded thousands of miles for the imperial court, defeated Jiannu, beheaded countless people, recovered Dengzhou, and made great contributions to exterminating Kong Youde's rebels. Such a contribution, Comparable to the heroes of Jing Nan, I think that being a marquis is the bottom line." He Wen Tiren needs an ally like Li Xin, anyway, anyone who is an enemy of Zhou Yanru can be his ally, and Li Xin is even more powerful. allies.

"Marquis?" Emperor Chongzhen immediately hesitated. There were not no marquises in the Chongzhen Dynasty. Many generals were conferred marquises, but he was still a little hesitant to ask him to confer Marquis to Li Envelope.

"That's right, you should be named Marquis." Wen Tiren said without even thinking about it: "If you don't do this, you can't express the intention of the court. If you don't, people in the world won't be grateful for His Majesty's holiness. Li Xin has made great contributions, so he deserves to be named Marquis. Not only Li Xin Fenghou, Even his father wants to reward him. Order people to spread Li Gu's name." In fact, there is one thing Wen Tiren didn't say, which is that Li Xin is already like this, even if he is not a Marquis, how can he compare?Of course, awarding Li Gu is also to tie up Li Xin. If you Li Xin become a rebel one day, your old man Li Gu will not end well.

"Okay, I gave him the title of Marquis, and issued a decree to seal Li Xin as Marquis of Zhengbei. Posthumously present Li Gu as Taibao." Emperor Chongzhen finally made up his mind that he must appease Li Xin.As for the Grand Tutor that Li Gu presented as a posthumous gift, he didn't take it seriously, so what if a dead person deserves to enjoy the Taimiao?If you die, you will die, and it will not cause any harm to the country of Daming.As long as Li Xin doesn't resist.Even more in Chongzhen's heart, since Li Xin was canonized as Marquis and Marquis of Zhengbei, people in the world must be able to understand their minds, you are tossing around in Mobei!Do not come to the Central Plains.

"The emperor is wise." Wen Tiren quickly bowed down and said.He was extremely proud, this is a slap in the face!Hitting Zhou Yanru in the face.Didn't you Zhou Yanru harm Li Gu?But now Li Gu was posthumously awarded as the Taibao.The so-called prime minister in front of the body, the three masters after death.And Li Xin is now conferred the title of Marquis of Zhengbei, which is already a great reward. In the early Chongzhen Dynasty, except for some meritorious service and relatives, there were very few such titles.Li Enfenghou also gave Zhou Yanru a blow.And Wen Tiren believed that after this incident, Zhou Yanru's reputation must have a great influence.

"I am willing to go to the front line in person to appease Li Xin." Wen Tiren seemed to have thought of something, rolled his eyes, and said hastily.

"How can Li Xin have such virtue? He can win Wen Qing like this," Emperor Chongzhen was surprised when he heard this.

"If you can accept Li Xin's heart for the emperor, I will die forever." Wen Tiren said awe-inspiringly.

"Well, it's very good. Lao Wenqing has been gone." After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen was very happy, and couldn't help but stepped forward to help Wen Tiren up.Patted his old hand and said.
