Chao Cuo was "steady, straight, engraved, deep", that is, strict, upright, harsh, and cruel. But he was far-sighted and desperate for the country, and it was not surprising that he had such a personality.

Who do you look like? It’s a bit like Hai Rui, and it’s a bit like Xiong Tingbi. They don’t like their ministers, but others are hard to comment on.

If it was for his own throne, would he be cruel to kill him regardless of how loyal and talented he was?

Zhu Youxiao lowered his eyes, analyzed and judged, and repeatedly weighed the pros and cons, and could not make a light decision on such assumptions.

It’s not that way? I’m far-sighted and as stable as an old dog, how could I be forced to do so? 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 all about today's lecture!"

"There are my husbands who obey the order." Although Sun Chengzong was honored to sit on the backrest chair, he did not lack any etiquette to the emperor, and he did not have any pride.

Zhu Youxiao pondered for a moment and asked, "What is the analysis and judgment of the Ministry of War regarding the Liaodong war?"

Sun Chengzong thought for a while and bowed, "Long live the revelation, the ministers of the Ministry of War came to a conclusion based on the information of all parties. There is no need for a major battle. As long as the current liberation area is defended, Jiannu will collapse in two years."

What's the matter in two years?! Zhu Youxiao didn't comment, even though he knew that this might be the safest strategy, that is, delay and waste.

If there were no major disasters in the Little Ice Age, I would rather win without a fight and use the size of the Ming Dynasty to waste Jiannu to death. But time is too late. The sooner the Jian is destroyed, the better, and the sooner the Liao is, the better!

Although in history, Jiannu swept the world and established the Central Plains. However, the biggest cause of the Ming Empire was internal. If it weren't for the great disaster, Jiannu would never have been able to find this big advantage.

Time is the fate! There are many reasons why the Ming Dynasty fell from the inside, not the Jiannu.

From this perspective, how can the major disasters during the Little Ice Age and the storm of the party and the officials be more terrifying than Jiannu. How can we deal with them without any effort?

Fortunately, the emperor went barefoot and dealt with a large number of verbal officials and corrupt officials with ruthless means. Either abolished or exiled, it was temporarily suppressed a major internal disaster.

Although we can continue to use blockade and siege to deal with Jiannu, because major disasters will also cause great difficulties for Jiannu and may even be dragged down and exhausted to death.

However, Zhu Youxiao weighed the pros and cons. On the premise of the arrival of a major disaster, it was too difficult to rescue the people in China and Liaodong to support a huge military force.

"Master Sun." The emperor smiled bitterly and said, "Do you also have doubts about the coming of a major disaster?"

Sun Chengzong said that he was delaying and indirectly proving that he had reservations about the great disaster predicted by the emperor and his eagerness to pacify Liao.

"Wei Minister--" Sun Chengzong said hesitantly: "Long live, he was very steady before, and suddenly he showed an anxious mood. Wei Minister is afraid that the front-line generals will feel something, and that they will be defeated by rash progress."

I did not urge me to fight? But since I have decided to fight a big counterattack next winter and spring, it is true that Sun Chengzong said, will the frontline understand and guess his urgency?

Zhu Youxiao nodded and said, "Master Sun reminded me that I didn't say anything, but I was really anxious about Ping Liao. From the perspective of action, it will really make people guess this."

After pausing, Zhu Youxiao continued: "I can write letters and remind them not to be anxious. When the army gathers together, they will launch a general attack. Do not advance and underestimate the enemy."

"Long live the wise!" Sun Chengzong bowed and said, "Actually, everyone hopes to pacify Liao as soon as possible, but over the past few years, long live and work hard to make efforts, and the front-line soldiers have steadily taken action, which has reversed the situation. If they are defeated due to their urgency, it would be a pity."

Zhu Youxiao nodded. At this time, Sun Chengzong tactfully reminded that it is because the situation can be reversed, which is hard-won and cherished more.

Be cautious when you are at a disadvantage, and be conservative when you are at an advantage. This is the psychology of a person. It is really interesting to think about it.

After the ceremony, Sun Chengzong left and the emperor stood up to watch. This was already a very, very amazing courtesy. Only Sun Chengzong, Xu Guangqi and Li Qiyuan were given to the court now.

If you add Teacher Yuan in Denglai now, there are four people. Whether it is age, qualifications, loyalty and contribution, you can deserve such courtesy from the emperor.

Sitting back to the imperial chair, the emperor lowered his eyes slightly and recalled the lecture just now. The so-called "opening the book is beneficial", the "Chao Cuo Theory" mentioned by Sun Chengzong was very inspiring to Zhu Youxiao.

Among them, the sentence "The most unforeseen problem in the world is called "there is nothing to do, but there are actually unpredictable worries" is even more than the emperor's mind, which makes the emperor agree more with it.

This is true for the Ming Empire, with a land of tens of thousands of miles, a population of hundreds of millions of dollars, and rich resources. On the surface, it seems that there is nothing wrong.

But in fact, Zhu Youxiao felt that the past few years have been very laborious. He not only prevents natural disasters, but also defends against foreign invaders, and also cleans up corrupt officials and verbal tricks inside.

The situation in history is similar. Who would have thought that the vast Heavenly Kingdom would be taken away by Jiannu?

It is precisely because of unexpected expectations that we lack the spirit of unity and concentration.

When Jiannu was still in a corner of Liaodong, there was no need to say that Jiangnan was the powerful and wealthy people in the north, and they did not take it seriously. The pleasure that the court should enjoy was not related to its own business;

When Jiannu entered the pass and fought in the north, the landlords and gentry, princes and nobles in Jiangnan felt that the war was still far away. They fought for power and enjoyed the power, and did not know that bloody killing was coming.

That's all, they feel that it's not their own business, they feel that the war is far away, and they are unwilling to contribute money and efforts. In the end, the way of heaven is good, and selfish people finally pay a heavy price for short-sightedness and greed.

The way of heaven is good, and the way of heaven is good. There is a principle that China must fulfill. People's hearts are smooth and every man will avenge him.

Who said this? The emperor suddenly remembered this sentence he liked very much, but forgot a classic quote from an ancient man. Of course, it must not be what he said.

After touching her chin and thinking for a while, the emperor raised his head and saw Xiaohui standing beside her. I wonder if she would?

"Xiaohui--" The emperor waved, and when Fan Xiaohui approached and listened, he asked, "The way of heaven is good, China must be fulfilled, people's hearts are smooth, and every man will avenge him. Who said this?"

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

You are just smart and want to get away with it?

The emperor snorted and said, "I will answer again after thinking about it. If I am wrong, I will punish you."

Ah! Fan Xiaohui flattened her mouth, tilted her head and frowned, and thought hard.

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

After a while, the emperor looked up and found that the girl named Xiaohui was still in a state of contemplation.

This guy, let her think about it carefully, don’t you want to spend a few days, right?

The emperor was about to ask, but Wang Tigan came in to report that the former governor of Shaanxi Zuo Guangdou stepped down and returned to Beijing to meet him.
