Chapter 161 The Hero of Troubled Times

Seeing Chongzhen's reaction, Sun Chengzong sighed secretly. He knew that this cheap student didn't take this advice to heart.

In fact, Sun Chengzong and Yuan Chonghuan also had some teacher-student friendship, but this relationship was very weak. To be precise, when he was in charge of Liaodong, although he was kind to promote Yuan Chonghuan, he also suppressed Yuan Chonghuan for a while. Sun Chengzong was worried that Yuan Chonghuan would be dissatisfied and would not listen to the advice.

A month ago, I wrote a letter to Liaodong, explaining the pros and cons. I hope Yuan Chonghuan can consider it from multiple sources to maintain the relationship with Mao Wenlong and Zhao Shujiao. Then, it is to accelerate the military farming and boost trade. On the one hand, it increases taxes from Liaodong, and on the other hand, it can also reduce the burden on the court. After all, the court should care about not only Liaodong, but also the northwest and Sichuan.

Unfortunately, Yuan Chonghuan still did his own thing, and this time he even wrote a letter to ask for some military pay.

Since then, Sun Chengzong knew that his advice was useless, and Yuan Chonghuan did not listen at all. For the sake of this, he could only let Zhu Youjian write a letter to knock and make him restrain himself. But he was still late and more than 100,000 taels of silver had already been sent to Liaodong.

According to Sun Chengzong's intention, if you don't need to give these tens of thousands of taels of silver, Yuan Chonghuan is short of money, and he can't even solve the gap of tens of thousands of taels of silver?

Yuan Chonghuan was not here to ask for money this time, but to test it. He wanted to see the degree of favor and bottom line of Emperor Zhu Youjian, which was related to the next plan.

Chongzhen was too indulgent to Yuan Chonghuan, and the final result would inevitably lead to Yuan Chonghuan being arrogant because of his favor. In addition, this person has a strong desire for power and a strong selfish desire, so something might happen.

Chongzhen didn't want to bother Yuan Chonghuan too much, and he was a little confused. Why did the civil and military officials in the court seem to like Yuan Chonghuan? Is it because Yuan Chonghuan was the person he selected by Zhu Youjian? The young Zhu Youjian also had a stubbornness in his heart. The more others questioned, the more they wanted to support Yuan Chonghuan to do something big in Liaodong. As long as Yuan Chonghuan can win a big victory in Liaodong, it depends on what those people can say.

Chongzhen intentionally ignored the topic of Yuan Chonghuan and led the matter to the situation in Shaanxi.

"Teacher, the student intends to promote Tiemo to be a genius general. I hope he can stay in northern Shaanxi for a while. What do you think?"

"Tie Mo?" Sun Chengzong held the teacup and thought for a moment, then shook his head. He knew this so-called student too well, probably because he saw that Tie Mo was outstanding in this person and intended to let Tie Mo stay in northern Shaanxi until the civil unrest was wiped out.

Without considering it, Sun Chengzong rejected this idea. The reason why he thought was that he had thought about how to reply to Zhu Youjian.

The key to civil unrest is not to use troops, but to provide disaster relief. The court does not have enough money and food. As long as there are hungry people, civil unrest will occur one after another. Therefore, even if Tiemo can fight well and let him stay in northern Shaanxi, it will be useless.

More importantly, Tiemo could not have stayed in northern Shaanxi all the time, and northern Shanxi needed him even more. Sun Chengzong had traveled all over the place in his early years, surveying the nine borders, and could see the situation in northern Shanxi more clearly than Chongzhen.

Now there is nothing wrong with northern Shanxi for the time being, and Tiemo is all in control of the Hanhai Grassland. If the Tumote tribe and the Khalkha tribe want to go south to build grass valley, they must first pass through the Hanhai Grassland. Now the Mongols on the Hanhai Grassland only recognize Tiemo. Tiemo is not there, and these Mongols may in a blink of an eye or harass Xuanfu and Datongfu.

To transfer iron mo to northern Shaanxi for a long time is almost equivalent to destroying the Great Wall. If this matter is spread to Xuanfu, the first person who disagrees with it would probably be the general Hou Shilu.

"Your Majesty, it is not impossible to promote him as a general with his contributions made by Tie Mo. However, it is probably inappropriate to transfer him to northern Shaanxi."

"What's wrong?" Chongzhen raised his eyebrows in dissatisfaction.

"Your Majesty doesn't know that the situation in northern Shanxi is quite complicated. Don't look at the Sunit tribe and the Neiman tribe who surrender to our Ming Dynasty. That's just an appearance. The real reason is that Tiemo is in charge of Zhangbei and subduing these two tribes. With him, the Hanhai Grassland can become a natural barrier for our Ming Dynasty. Now that the other side has just stabilized, I will transfer Tiemo away at this time, then all the previous efforts will be wasted?"

Listening to Sun Chengzong's explanation, Chongzhen felt very uncomfortable. Are those Mongols afraid of Tie Mo, but not afraid of him, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty?

I used to like Tie Mo, but now, for some reason, I can't like it a little, and even a little disgusted, "Those hateful Mongolians... since that's the case, let Tie Mo stay in Zhangbei..."

Chongzhen was obviously a little unhappy, so Sun Chengzong and Zhang Yan had to leave on excuses.

......

Outside the Wenhua Hall, looking at the crescent moon hanging on the branches, Sun Chengzong was filled with worries.

Zhang Yan was smart and whispered: "Old Sun, you don't need to be bored. Your Majesty is still young, and you have to take some things slowly."

"Hey, I don't know, but I'm worried that I don't have enough time... If I'm only forty years old, why should I worry about it... Your Majesty is still young, how many years can I spend with him?"

The wind was a little cool, the osmanthus tree shook gently, and the shadows were swaying on the ground.

Looking at Sun Chengzong's back, Zhang Yan suddenly felt a sense of desolation jumping into her heart. At this moment, the old man seemed to be older...

Yes, he is getting older and older, how many years can he last? When the late emperor was in power, he taught him and then supervised Liaodong to stabilize the situation in Liaodong for the late emperor. Later, the late emperor passed away, the new emperor ascended the throne, and he returned to the capital.

Unfortunately, the young Zhu Youjian was not young. As an emperor, he was very young, but as a student, he was a little older. The emperor could not listen to some of Sun Chengzong's words and opinions.

"Why did Mr. Sun say this? You are always stronger. Your Majesty wants you to help you in the future!"

"I hope it's okay." Sun Chengzong smiled bitterly and shook his head, took two steps forward, and stopped and whispered: "Empress, if you have time, you have to persuade Your Majesty more. Now I, the Ming Dynasty, can't stand the tossing."

"I have known this person, Tiemo... I have learned about it. I was young and took down the Hanhai Grassland in less than two years. This man is full of enthusiasm and knows people and uses it well. He can be said to be a capable minister in governing the world and a hero in troubled times. Everything depends on how the court uses it."

"Your Majesty is young and energetic, and it is time to hire people!"

Zhang Yan frowned, chased after him in confusion, and whispered: "Since Mr. Sun values ​​this person so much, why did he say that to His Majesty before?"

Zhang Yan didn't know much about government affairs, but she still knew some of her brother Zhu Youjian. What Sun Chengzong said before clearly that the Mongolians were only afraid of Tie Mo, not the Ming Emperor Chongzhen. With the temperament of the brother Zhu Youjian, she probably began to get annoyed Tie Mo.

Sun Chengzong stroked his beard and said lightly: "If the old minister doesn't say that, how could Your Majesty be devoted to throwing Tiemo in Zhangbei? Alas, this is also a helpless move. At least, so far, with Tiemo in Zhangbei, Jinbei will be peaceful. If Your Majesty really wants to reuse Tiemo, transfer him to northern Shaanxi or Liaodong..."

Sun Chengzong did not say the following words, but Zhang Yan still understood them.

Tie Mo is rebellious and finally makes a piece of land. His Majesty asked him to go to other places to fight desperately. Can he listen? Maybe he will have a complete quarrel with the court. By then, the Ming Dynasty will not only face the chaos in Liaodong, but also the chaos in northern Jin.
