I'm a big dick

Chapter 409
Chao Cuo is "steep, straight, sharp, and deep", that is, strict, upright, harsh, and cruel.However, he is far-sighted for the country and does not care about himself. It is not surprising that he has such a character.

Who is he like, a bit like Hai Rui, and also a bit like Xiong Tingbi.They are all not to be seen by officials, but it is difficult to comment on the others.

If it was for his own throne, would he kill him cruelly no matter how loyal and talented he is?

Zhu Youxiao lowered his eyes, analyzed and judged, and weighed repeatedly. He couldn't make a decision lightly on such a hypothesis.

That's the end of the matter, isn't it?I have far-sightedness and foresight, and I am as stable as an old dog. How could there be such a forced and helpless situation?Zhu Youxiao comforted himself and got rid of this entanglement.

"Master Sun." The emperor raised his eyes and smiled, and said to Sun Chengzong, "That's the end of today's Jingyan!"

"The humble minister obeys the order." Although Sun Chengzong had the honor of sitting in a back chair, he did not lack the courtesy of the emperor at all, without the slightest entrustment.

Zhu Youxiao pondered for a while, and asked, "What analysis and judgment does the Ministry of War have on the Liaodong War?"

Sun Chengzong thought for a while, then cupped his hands and said: "Long live Qizuo, the military officials have come to a conclusion based on the intelligence of all parties. There is no need for a big battle, as long as the current recovery area is guarded, Jiannu will collapse after two years."

What two years? !Zhu Youxiao was noncommittal, even though he knew that this might be the safest strategy, that is to procrastinate and waste.

If there was no catastrophe in the Little Ice Age, I would also like to win without a fight, and consume Jianu to death with the strength of Daming.But time waits for no one, the sooner Jian is eliminated, the better, and the sooner Liao is flattened, the better!

Although in history it was Jiannu who swept the world and set the Central Plains.But the biggest reason for the defeat of the Ming Empire was internally. If it weren't for the catastrophe that caused civil unrest, it would be impossible for Jiannu to pick up this big bargain.

Time also, fate also!Daming died due to many internal reasons, not Jiannu.

Analyzing and judging from this aspect, the catastrophe of the Little Ice Age and the strife among officials are more terrible than Jiannu.

Fortunately, the emperor went into battle shirtless and dealt with a large number of talkative and corrupt officials in a brutal and brutal manner.Either deposed or exiled, it can be regarded as temporarily suppressing a major internal disaster.

Although it is also possible to continue to block and siege the Jiannu, because the catastrophe will also cause great difficulties for the Jiannu, and may even be dragged down to death.

But Zhu Youxiao weighed the pros and cons. Under the premise of a catastrophe, the domestic disaster relief and the people in Liaodong had to support a huge military force. It was too difficult to deal with it.

"Master Sun." The emperor smiled wryly, and said, "Do you also have doubts about the imminent disaster?"

Sun Chengzong's talk of procrastination indirectly proves that he has reservations about the catastrophe predicted by the emperor and his eagerness to pacify the Liao Dynasty.

"Wei Chen——" Sun Chengzong said with some hesitation: "Before Long Live, he had been very stable, but suddenly he showed eagerness. Wei Chen is afraid that the frontline generals will feel something, so that he will rush forward and be defeated."

Didn't I urge you to fight?But since next year's winter and spring counteroffensive has been decided, it is true as Sun Chengzong said, the frontline generals will understand their own urgency, right?
Zhu Youxiao nodded, and said: "Mr. Sun reminded me that I didn't say anything, but I was really eager for Pingliao. From the perspective of actions, it really makes people think so."

After a pause, Zhu Youxiao went on to say: "I will write a letter to remind them not to be impatient, wait for the army to gather before launching a general attack, and not to rush forward and underestimate the enemy."

"Long live wise!" Sun Chengzong arched his hands and said, "In fact, everyone hopes to pacify Liao as soon as possible. It's a shame to lose."

Zhu Youxiao nodded. At this time, Sun Chengzong euphemistically reminded that it is precisely because the situation can be reversed that it is hard-won and he cherishes it even more.

Be cautious when you are at a disadvantage, and be conservative when you are at an advantage. This is human psychology.It's really interesting when you think about it.

After the banquet was over, Sun Chengzong retired, and the emperor got up to watch him off.This is already a very, very remarkable courtesy. In the current court, it is only given to Sun Chengzong, Xu Guangqi, and Li Qiyuan.

If you add Teacher Yuan who is now Denglai, there are four people.Regardless of age, seniority, loyalty and contribution, they are all worthy of the emperor's courtesy.

Sitting back in the imperial chair again, the emperor slightly lowered his eyes, reminiscing about the sutra feast just now.The so-called "opening the book is beneficial", Sun Chengzong's "Chao Cuo Lun" has greatly inspired Zhu Youxiao.

Among them, the sentence "the most unavoidable thing in the world's troubles is called peace and tranquility, but in fact there are unforeseen worries", which made the emperor agree more than any emperor's mind.

This is the case with the Ming Empire, with a territory of thousands of miles, billions of people, and rich products, it seems to be peaceful on the surface.

But in fact, Zhu Youxiao feels that the past few years have been really exhausting, not only to prevent natural disasters, but also to defend against foreign invaders, and to clean up corrupt officials and talkers inside.

The situation is similar in history. Who would have thought that the great kingdom of heaven would be taken over by Jiannu?
It is precisely because of the unexpected that we lack the spirit of sincerity, unity and dedication.

When Jiannu was still in a corner of Liaodong, Jiangnan needless to say, even the rich and powerful in the north did not take them seriously, and the enjoyment that should be enjoyed, the court's lack of money was nothing to do with it;
When the slaves entered the customs and went to war in the north, the landlords, gentry, princes and dignitaries in the south of the Yangtze River felt that the war was still far away. The struggle for power, the enjoyment of pleasure, did not know that bloody killings were engulfing them.

That's it, they all felt that it had nothing to do with them, that the war was far away, and they were unwilling to contribute money or effort.In the end, God pays off, and the selfish people pay a heavy price for short-sightedness and greed.

The way of heaven is repaid, and the way of heaven is repaid. China has principles that must be extended, and people's hearts are obedient.

Who said this?The emperor suddenly remembered this sentence he liked very much, but forgot which ancient classic quotation it was.Of course, it was definitely not what he said.

Rubbing his chin and thinking for a while, the emperor raised his head and saw Xiaohui standing beside him, wondering if she would?

"Xiaohui——" the emperor beckoned, and when Fan Xiaohui came closer to listen, he asked, "Heaven's justice is repaid, and China has its own principles. People follow their example, and every man will take revenge. Who said this sentence?" "

Fan Xiaohui blinked her eyes and said in a hurry: "It's what the emperor just said!"

As smart as you are, you still want to get away with it?

The emperor snorted and said, "Think it over before you answer, if you make a mistake, I will punish you."

what!Fan Xiaohui pursed her lips, tilted her head and frowned, as if thinking hard.

The emperor casually picked up the memorial book on the imperial case, flipped through it, and waited.

After a while, the emperor looked up and found that the girl named Xiaohui was still in deep thought.

This guy, let her think about it for a few days, right?

Just as the emperor was about to ask, Wang Tiqian went inside to report that Zuo Guangdou, the former governor of Shaanxi, had resigned and returned to Beijing to see you.
