Chapter 160 Sun Chengzong’s Worries

The great victory in northern Shaanxi was delivered to the capital, and Emperor Chongzhen, who had not had any joy for a long time, finally had a little smile on his face.

During this period, many bad things were pressing on Chongzhen's heart, which made him breathless. In the past two years, almost most of the money in the treasury had been sent to Liaodong, but the Liao pay was still not enough. A few days ago, Yuan Chonghuan wrote another letter to request an increase in pay.

Chongzhen couldn't figure it out. Didn't he keep streamlining the soldiers? Why did the troops reduce, and the more money they pay? If it were someone else, Chongzhen would have sent an imperial edict to capture the man in the capital and asked clearly. But the other party was Yuan Chonghuan. Chongzhen didn't say anything, summoned the officials and tried his best to get the money.

Nothing else, just because the other party was Yuan Chonghuan. Yuan Chonghuan said that he would pacify Liao in five years, and as long as he could pacify the chaos in Liaodong within five years, he would give whatever Yuan Chonghuan wanted. Chongzhen would not say anything.

Yuan Chonghuan was the person he chose to Chongzhen. Since he recognized him, he had to try his best to support him first.

After more than ten days, Chongzhen tried every means to scrap the treasury again, and delayed the salary distributed to the Jinyiwei. Only then did he raise 180,000 taels of silver and urgently sent it to Liaodong. Because of this, the imperial officials had quite complained. The civil unrest in Shaanxi became increasingly fierce, and many Shaanxi soldiers and horse salaries had not been paid in full. Shaanxi officials wrote several letters to urge the military salaries, but the imperial court did not give a penny. Yuan Chonghuan was fine. He wrote a letter and His Majesty raised 180,000 taels of silver and sent it over quickly.

Not to mention some officials of the court, even some generals on the Nine-side side were quite dissatisfied with this. The Xuanfu, the head of the Nine-side side, has always been a big problem in recent years. In order to get enough money, Hou Shilu had to think of some bad ideas. If it weren't for the special situation, he wouldn't have to let Tiemo go. In short, who could make money for the Xuanfu, Hou Shilu liked it very much.

Jiubians were all thinking of ways to find a way out. Why did Yuan Chonghuan give whatever he wanted? Just because he was the governor of Ji Liao?

There was so much dissatisfaction between the inside and outside the court. Chongzhen didn’t know that he could not drag Yuan Chonghuan down at this time. Yuan Chonghuan couldn’t do anything, and he was beaten to him in the face?

After many worries, fortunately there was good news in Shaanxi. When he heard that Wu Yangui's party among the two bandits in Shaanxi were defeated, Chongzhen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and there was a little more joy on his face.

In the military newspaper, Chongzhen saw Tie Mo's name again. It was Tie Mo again, and he raided with cavalry, which completely defeated Wu Yangui's troops. It can be seen from the military newspaper that the generals in Shaanxi intend to promote Tie Mo as their first contribution.

Tie Mo, what kind of person is he? He has made many military achievements in two years, especially at his age, who is only twenty years old.

He was less than 20 years old and was already a guerilla general in the Yunfu. According to his merits, it would be impossible not to reward him. After thinking about it, he revived and decided to be promoted to Tiemo to the General of Xuanfu, and still served as the guardian of Yunfu.

In northern Shaanxi, Chongzhen did not spend much effort and threw the matter to the cabinet. After the cabinet came up with its opinions, he passed it directly and planned to send it to northern Shaanxi.

......

In Wenhua Palace, Chongzhen sat behind the desk of [      www.biqugew.xyz], squinted his eyes and enjoyed his little free time.

On the chair below, Queen Yi'an Zhang Yan sat gracefully aside and listened carefully.

"Sister-in-law, you have been to Zhangbei and met Tiemo. Can you tell me what kind of person Tiemo is, and whether it is available?"

Zhang Yan frowned slightly, for some reason, and suddenly became nervous. Involuntarily, the figure of the man flashed in front of her eyes.

On the turbulent windy grassland, with your back facing the setting sun, one person and one wolf.

Zhang Yan will never forget that scene. This is the first time in this life that he has seen such a killing, one man and one wolf, like a thousand troops.

Similarly, Zhang Yan also knows that his emperor brother Zhu Youjian. Tie Mo has outstanding abilities but ambitiousness. The emperor brother must not tolerate such people in his heart. Zhang Yan doesn't know what she thought, but for the first time in her life, he lied to Zhu Youjian.

"Your Majesty, Tie Mo is a young man and has a good ability. The most important thing is his loyalty to the court. A few months ago, Jizhou made a fortune, and the palace went to Shanxi to raise funds. Those people were unwilling to pay a penny, and General Tie came forward, so he raised enough money."

As soon as he said that, Zhang Yan cursed herself inwardly. Why did she insist on saying good things for Tiemo?

Chongzhen nodded and smiled meaningfully, "This is how I have learned a little about it. This man was born in poverty and went to the north to travel. In a short period of time, being able to create a world in northern Shanxi is considered to be outstanding. If he is really dedicated to the court as the emperor said, he can use it."

"But he is too young and needs to polish it well!"

"I am very young too!" Chongzhen smiled faintly. He was about to say something else, but Wang Chengen's voice came from outside the door. After listening carefully, it turned out that Sun Chengzong was waiting outside.

Faced with Sun Chengzong, Chongzhen did not dare to neglect him and quickly asked Wang Chengen to invite Sun Chengzong in. Sun Chengzong, who was over 60 years old, was already gray-haired, but his feet were not smooth and energetic, and he was not like an old man who was about to quit.

After entering Wenhua Palace and seeing Zhang Yan also, Sun Chengzong was slightly surprised and bowed, "The old minister has seen the Empress."

Zhang Yan dared not accept Sun Chengzong's great gift, so she quickly helped her.

After helping Sun Chengzong sit down, Zhu Youjian smiled and said, "Why are you here at this time?"

"Hey, I have to go. The old minister wants to ask, what will Your Majesty deal with Yuan Chonghuan's impeachment of Mao Wenlong?"

"This..." Chongzhen immediately looked puzzled, not that he didn't want to answer, but he really didn't think about what to do.

Since Yuan Chonghuan arrived in Liaodong, he has been incompatible with Mao Wenlong. He has written several letters to impeach Mao Wenlong and asked the court to punish Mao Wenlong for his crime. Several times before, Chongzhen had been in a mixed manner and advised Yuan Chonghuan to endure it. However, this time, Yuan Chonghuan was very firm, saying that Mao Wenlong had an affair with the Later Jin Dynasty and wanted to cure Mao Wenlong's crime.

Chongzhen couldn't answer the matter of Mao Wenlong, and Sun Chengzong's face tightened and sighed: "Your Majesty, you shouldn't have sent the 180,000 taels of silver to Liaodong before. Since Yuan Chonghuan was the governor of Ji Liao, he had to find a way to solve some things by himself. He couldn't find everything to the court. Now the treasury of the court is empty and the treasury is empty. Don't he know?"

"Your Majesty is so spoiled by Yuan Chonghuan, he will be arrogant, afraid that something will happen in Liaodong."

Chongzhen sat next to him and said in confusion: "There is something going on? Teacher, what should you do if the students do?"

"If Your Majesty did not send 180,000 silver, Yuan Chonghuan was afraid to do whatever he wanted. But now, it is not certain. In short, the old minister thought that Mao Wenlong must use it. Although Mao Wenlong had an affair with trade and took military achievements, he was like a bandit. But one thing is that as long as Mao Wenlong was there, the Later Jin Dynasty would not dare to leave Liaodong too far. As long as the Later Jin Dynasty dared to leave Liaodong, with Mao Wenlong's character, he would definitely send troops to Liaodong and dig a hole in the heart of the Later Jin Dynasty."

"Mao Wenlong has the meaning of his existence, so even if Mao Wenlong is not likable, he should be used."

"For the sake of the present plan, Your Majesty should prepare a letter and scold Yuan Chonghuan, so that he can take into account the overall situation and maintain the relationship between Liaodong."

"Hmm? Teacher, is this necessary?"
