"Brother Shou, it seems inappropriate that you are still thinking about impeaching Li Xiao at this time." Zhou Yanru looked at the old god Qian Qianyi drinking tea. Today he wanted to try his best to persuade Qian Qianyi that the Ming Dynasty had reached this juncture.

, it seems inappropriate to engage in party disputes again.

"Untimely? Why didn't I think it? Besides, when was this? Isn't it just that the Tatars and the rebels merged together? Without Li Xiao to support the bandits, how could the Tatars have a chance to breathe? Some people say that Li Xiao is the savior of the world, but I don't see him

He is a national traitor." Qian Qianyi put down the teacup in his hand and said viciously.

"Nowadays, the Tatars and the rebellious people are united. Juyong Pass and Zijin Pass are the two major gates. As long as either pass is breached, we will become turtles in the urn. Accept this, let's put aside our prejudices for the time being. Contact Li Xiao and ask him to leave from Shandong

We have to send troops to defend the capital." Wen Tiren, the chief minister of the trusted cabinet, really couldn't stand it. Although he was promoted by the Donglin Party, Qian Qianyi had a lot to do with it. He also agreed with Qian Qianyi's plan to get Li Xiao!

But now that the capital of the Ming Dynasty is in turmoil, do you still have time to engage in party disputes?

"Mr. Wen Ge! Mr. Wen! Do you think that if I give in, Li Xiao can really come to Beijing to serve as the king? That little Jiujiu is really good at fighting." Wen Tiren spoke, and Qian Qianyi put away his arrogance.

.After all, he is now the chief assistant and belongs to the senior leadership.

"Oh! How do you say this?"

"According to Li Xiao's character, you have to get money to use him. The question is, can the treasury still come up with money now? If the imperial court didn't extract oil and make money from the stones in the northwest, how could the northwest be in such chaos today?

Besides, look at what he did in Shandong. He eliminated dissidents and appointed private individuals. He was running Shandong as the territory of his Li family. I, Qian Qianyi, put my words here. Even if I, Qian Qianyi, laid it for him

Kneel down and kowtow, this guy must first ask for money, and then he may not send troops. Even if he sends troops, I believe that he will send only old, weak and disabled soldiers.

He is planning to manage Shandong as his own, and then rely on Shandong to compete for the world. All the princes are also people who have experienced officialdom for a long time, so why can't they see the sinister intentions of this kid?

Tartars! He had the strength to attack the Tartars two years ago. But he refused to move and huddled in Jinzhou to run his Guan Ning Jin defense line. He used the threat of the Tartars to trick the court into giving him money and letting him take it.

Use the money to expand your own army.

Let me ask you! How many officials have you sent to Liaodong over the years? How many of them have stayed there without being forced back? No!

He, Li Xiao, has managed Liaodong into his own family, which is impossible to penetrate with a needle or water. Now he is using the same method to run Shandong. Look at how many Daozhou counties there are in Shandong Prefecture in this year.

The officials have all been replaced. Look at the people he replaced. How many of them are the remnants of Wei Zhongxian?

Wanzai wants to use Li Xiao to check and balance our Donglin sages. How could he know that Li Xiao is not using Wanzai's support to achieve his goal of plumping up his wings?

Wake up, gentlemen! The Tartars and the rioters are all suffering from scabies. There are only a few Tartars, and the rioters are just farmers who don’t have enough to eat. What they want is money, grain, livestock, cattle, sheep, and women.

, and what Li Xiao wants is the country of Ming Dynasty.

If Li Xiao really wins the country, everyone! If Jiangnan thinks about his current life again, it will be difficult to reach the sky. Everyone must think clearly about what he wants." Qian Qianyi finished his speech in a sensible and reasonable manner and sat down on the chair again.

It was eerily quiet in the study, and you could hear a pin drop clearly in a room full of senior officials.

Everyone knows the consequences of this matter. What the Jiangnan plutocrats want is the privilege of not paying taxes and not doing corvee labor. Only by relying on these two privileges can they be prosperous from generation to generation. They are like parasitic roundworms in the belly of the Ming Empire.

Greedy absorbs nutrients and makes his body fatter and fatter.

With Li Xiao here, this kind of thing will never happen again. Judging from what he did in Shandong, he has begun to suppress local powerful people. Under his hard and soft measures, the local big households had to go out to work and renovate the roads in Shandong. Next

What is the next step for him? To be a gentry and serve as servants and to pay for food?

We must not let this happen in Ming Dynasty, absolutely not!

"Although I don't want to believe it, I have to admit that what Shou said is reasonable." Ma Shiying had just been transferred from Nanjing to serve as the Minister of Household Affairs.

Everyone was still silent. Years of officialdom made them choose to let others speak first.

"Ahem...!" Wen Tiren coughed lightly, and everyone's eyes turned to Mr. Chief Assistant.

"What Shou said was inspiring, I learned from it! But I don't know how Shou should deal with the current situation?"

Qian Qianyi secretly cursed the old fox and kicked the ball to me.

"Now there are Tatars and rebels in the west, and Li Xiao in the east. All we can control is the south of the Yangtze River. The Yangtze River is a natural chasm, but military strategists have always said that to defend the Yangtze River, you must solidify the Huaihe River. Instead of wasting troops needlessly in the capital, it is better to use our troops early

Adjust defenses to the Huaihe River and Huaihe River. Leave the mess in North and Central China to Li Xiao. If he has the ability, he will fight the Tatars and the rebels.

We just need to occupy the two Huaihe Rivers and ensure the safety of Jiangnan." Qian Qianyi's words were shocking, and everyone was stunned. They did not expect that Qian Qianyi's idea was so radical. He wanted to turn the entire north into a

The battlefield. How many tragedies will this cause, how many lives will be lost, how many tragedies of separation of flesh and blood? For the sake of party struggle, this is too much.

"Isn't this going too far? Besides, Long Live wouldn't agree." Zhou Yanru shook his head.

"Haha! The sage said that great rule will lead to great chaos, and great chaos will lead to great rule. Without such chaos, how can we achieve great rule in the world? As for whether Long Live would agree, Cao Mengde did not seem to have asked Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty at the beginning.

When both Li Xiao and Huang Taiji are exhausted, we will wait for work and start the Northern Expedition again. This country still belongs to the Ming Dynasty, and we, the sages of Donglin, are still in charge of the country."

Everyone looked at Qian Qianyi in shock. He was seeking death! He actually compared Cao Cao. What was he doing? A Ming version of holding the emperor hostage to order the princes?

"What if the Tatars and Li Xiao make peace?" Wen Tiren raised another possibility.

"That is the new three-legged alliance. We have a larger land south of the Yangtze River, a larger population, and more money and food than Li Xiao and Huang Taiji. The emperor is in our hands, the justice of heaven is in our hands, and the country's

The trend is in our hands.

Are we still afraid of Li Xiao? Or are we still afraid of Huang Taiji who doesn’t understand the teachings of saints?”
