Ming Dynasty fake eunuch

Chapter 373 Succession
Sun Chengzong has been living a very leisurely life recently. In fact, his official position was originally the most promising.

The emperor's lecturer, a position closest to the emperor and the most convenient position to please the emperor.

It's a pity that Mr. Sun had a bad time in his life. He met a little emperor who didn't seek to make progress and was always thinking of calculating others. Coupled with his jealous temper, Mr. Sun not only failed to win the emperor's favor, but was almost swept out of the capital. .

A few days ago, a rumor came out of nowhere in the capital, saying that the little emperor had a heart disease, because the death of the first emperor was caused by the little emperor.

Sun Chengzong hated such rumors, but when he calmed down alone, thinking about the actions of the little emperor and the people around him, these rumors seemed not impossible, as the saying goes, there are no waves without wind!
Sun Chengzong was not worried about King Fu's rebellion at all, even when the Liaodong Army did not enter Beijing, he was not afraid, because he knew that Ye Xun would definitely not let Zhu Changxun succeed.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, near evening, the streets suddenly resounded with the sound of gongs, drums and cheers.

At this moment, Sun Chengzong was sitting in his study studying a silver coin. The workmanship of the silver coin was very exquisite, with the Daming Palace on the front and the Great Wall on the back, and a "one" was engraved to mark the value of the silver coin.

This is a silver coin of one tael. According to the merchant who exchanged it for him, there are coins with smaller denominations, but he did not bring them with him. If he wants to exchange them, he can go to the "Liaoyuan Commercial Bank". have.

Not to mention, Sun Chengzong actually found the firm according to the businessman's instructions, but they were also celebrating the New Year, so when he went, the firm was closed, and he had to wait until the new year to go.

As soon as "Liaoyuan Commercial Bank" heard the name, Sun Chengzong knew that Ye Xun must have made it.

Liaodong actually issued new coins, what does Ye Xun want to do?
In fact, this question is easy to answer, because Zhu Youxiao once promised Liaodong to Ye Xun in front of everyone, and said that he would never interfere with anything in Liaodong. That is to say, Ye Xun can do whatever he wants, you The court has no right to interfere at all.

Fortunately, Ye Xun returned to Beijing, otherwise Sun Chengzong really thought he was going to split Liaodong from Daming.

Sometimes Sun Chengzong also wondered, is this Ye Xun loyal or traitor?
"My lord, my lord, I'm overjoyed! Eunuch Ye led [-] cavalry. In the middle of the night on New Year's Eve, they wiped out [-] rebels who attempted to attack the capital. They rushed to Zhending overnight and forced the remaining rebels to surrender. A group of captives have been escorted to Beijing."

The surprised voice of the old housekeeper interrupted Sun Chengzong's meditation, but Sun Chengzong was not surprised. If he were Ye Xun, he would also choose to send troops on New Year's Eve.

Uncommitted: "Are the gifts ready?"

According to the custom in previous years, he was going to a few old friends' homes to pay New Year's greetings, and then rushed back before dark.

"Master, don't worry, morning"

Before the old butler finished speaking, there was a sound of hurried footsteps behind him.

The Sun family is very disciplined, panicked, who is so unruly?Turning his head to look, it was the concierge servant.

"Master, housekeeper, door, outside the door, Ye, Eunuch Ye, please see me"

The concierge was obviously very nervous. He ran in front of Sun Chengzong and the old butler, and spoke eagerly before he could catch his breath.

"Who did you say was here?"

Sun Chengzong also thought that he had heard it wrong. Under normal circumstances, shouldn't Ye Xun be really determined at this moment?Why did you come back so soon?And it also appeared outside my house, I heard it right!

Before the concierge could repeat, Sun Chengzong quickly walked out the door. He believed that the concierge would not dare to tell lies, and that Ye Xun's name could not be faked by others.

Ye Xun rushed back by himself first. Naturally, he did not need to come forward for the follow-up matters of Zhending Mansion and the mansion of King Fu in Luoyang, and the New Year is a reunion day for Chinese people. There are still a few young women waiting for him in the palace, so I came back alone.

Before entering the palace, Ye Xun felt that it was necessary to talk to Sun Chengzong. After all, Liaodong was his root. If he didn't arrange for a capable person to go, he wouldn't feel at ease!

Sun Chengzong had seen Ye Xun from a long distance, so when he walked quickly to the door and saw Ye Xun standing with his hands behind his back, he immediately knew that it was indeed Ye Xun himself.

"I'm going to see Eunuch Ye. I don't know that Eunuch Ye is coming, so I'm far away to welcome you."

Ye Xun waved his hand and said with a smile: "I came here abruptly, why! You don't invite me in! I'm in a hurry, I'm a little hungry, get me something to eat."

A simple sentence shortened the distance between the two of them virtually, and also made Sun Chengzong feel a little nervous.

"Grandpa Ye please come inside, come and prepare a banquet"

Ye Xun was also polite, and followed Sun Chengzong to the living room of his house.

It can be seen that Sun Chengzong's family background is not bad, not as shabby as Fang Congzhe's family, nor excessively luxurious, simple and elegant, walking in it can easily relax people's minds.

Before the banquet, tea was served first, Ye Xun took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and said with a smile: "Someone recommended me to go to Liaodong, Master Sun, what do you think?"

Sun Chengzong was taken aback. He was just a concubine left, a teacher who gave lectures, but someone took a fancy to him and recommended him to go to Liaodong. It was a bit too surprising.

As if he knew what Sun Chengzong was thinking, Ye Xun continued: "Master Sun, there is no need to be humble. I have heard about Mr. Sun's ability and talent, and I took the liberty to come here today. The visit is one aspect, and the most important thing is that I want to hear Listen to Master Sun's opinion on the current situation in Liaodong."

Getting promoted and getting rich is everyone's wish, but for Sun Chengzong, making a fortune is not his concern. What he wants most is to realize his ambition.

Wei Yi pondered, and said: "Since Eunuch Ye asked, then I will tell you my opinion on the situation in Liaodong."

"Huang Taiji fled to North Korea. On the surface, Eunuch Ye has completely recovered Liaodong, but there are many hidden risks in Liaodong. The first is the ethnic issue. Jurchen bullied and oppressed various ethnic groups in Liaodong when they were old slaves. Now The so-called Great Jin Kingdom has been wiped out, those who were oppressed in the past will definitely take revenge on Jurchen, this is one of them."

"Secondly, Huang Taiji is still alive, and there are tens of thousands of Jurchen troops who have fled to North Korea. This gives the Jurchen ministries who are still living in Liaodong a glimmer of hope. They imagine that one day Huang Taiji can lead the army back, so these people must be from Liaodong. factors of instability”

"Based on the above two points, I suggest that Eunuch Ye should treat the Liaodong issue with both kindness and power. Internally, break his courage. Externally, pursue and fight fiercely, and don't give Huang Taiji any chance to stand up."

After hearing Sun Chengzong's words, Ye Xun couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. Mr. Sun, who lives up to his reputation, can always think of Jiangshan Sheji in his heart. The post of governor of Liaodong is none other than you.

After Yuan Yingtai, Liaodong has never set up a post of manager, and the new Liaodong governor has jurisdiction over far more places than any Liaodong governor in Ming Dynasty, and Ye Xun will give him more power.

In other words, Sun Chengzong will be Ye Xun's successor in Liaodong.
