Lead elite troops into the pass to defeat the thieves, and the world will be at peace!

I don’t know if the world is peaceful or not, but what if he comes to “Qingjun’s side” on the way?

Even though he only felt that he was stuck in a quagmire these years, when the throne faced threats, Chongzhen still instinctively wanted to keep the throne. Even if the emperor was unsatisfactory, he was still an emperor!

Seeing Jiang Dejing constantly praising Zhu Ciying, Chongzhen felt irritated and asked before Jiang Dejing finished speaking.

"Do you think that there is no one available in this world except Zhu Ciying?"

For a moment, everyone was silent. Even Wei Zaode, who was the best at figuring out Chongzhen's thoughts and always able to cater to Chongzhen's thoughts, also lowered his head and said nothing.

Seeing that none of the ministers responded, Chongzhen felt desolate in his heart. Could it be that Zhu Ciying was the only one who could save the Ming Dynasty?

Once again, Chongzhen thought of what he said to his second ancestor when he worshiped his second ancestor in the Fengxian Hall last year.

"The descendants are incompetent. Fortunately, there are talented people in the clan. The descendants are arbitrary and violated the ancestral system and ordered them to take charge of the army. It is really forced by the situation. Today, Liaodong is restored, all because of the blessing of the ancestors..."

He said it was the blessing of his ancestors, but in fact, he was asking for credit from his ancestors. Look, without my arbitrary decision, how could Zhu Ciying be in charge of the army and have the chance to regain Liaodong?

Is it true that no one except him can save the current crisis?

Should the Guan Ning Army be mobilized, or should the Ning Jin Army move south?

Without their restraint, wouldn't it be equivalent to handing over Liaodong to Zhu Ciying? But hadn't someone in the court already claimed that his contribution was enough to make him king, and even proposed to reestablish the "King of Sai" and let him guard the border for the Ming Dynasty.

If Zhu Ciying is allowed to lead his troops south, will he take the opportunity to occupy various places? That kid is different from others! What if, what if he takes the opportunity to expand his territory and control the place?

But can we just allow the rogue bandits to become powerful?

After hesitating like this, Chongzhen stared at Jiang Dejing and asked:

"How do you think Zhu Ciying will definitely lead the troops south to suppress the bandits?"

"Suppressing the bandits is the wish of the Pinglu general. He repeatedly wrote to the court asking to lead troops south to suppress the bandits, which shows his intention to serve the court."

Chongzhen still couldn't decide, so he muttered:

"Let's give it a try?"

The emperor's relaxed tone shocked Chen Yan and others. They looked at the emperor in surprise. Could it be that the emperor was planning to let this tiger out of the mountain?

That's a man-eating tiger!

"Whether the general is to be pacified and the commander-in-chief of the suppression of the bandits is entrusted with the important task, please ask the Emperor's Holy Heart to make a decision."

Chongzhen really has no other way and thinks this is a feasible way. Nowadays, it is difficult to rely on others. Even Sun Chuanting does not know whether he is alive or dead, and it belongs to other people. Only Zhu Ciying can still put a glimmer of hope. He also

I understand the risks involved in transferring Zhu Ciying south, but at the moment, it seems that he is the only one who can put down the rogue bandits.

However, the risk of this matter was too great. He thought for a moment and said:

"It's not impossible to pacify the bandits with General Pinglu as our commander, but I really can't worry about the border troubles in Liaodong. After all, the leader of the group is just escaping. What if he invades the border again?"

Although the emperor was talking about the leader of the captives, in fact everyone knew what he was worried about. He was worried about what General Pinglu would do if he rebelled. Wei Zaode, who had figured out the emperor's thoughts, replied:

"This is not difficult. Your Majesty might as well order General Pinglu to lead 20,000 elite troops southward. At present, one of the bandits is a bandit, and the other is a sacrificial bandit who will corrupt Huguang. You might as well order General Pinglu to suppress the bandits along the river.

If border troubles arise again in Liaodong, firstly, the main force of the Pinglu army will still be in Liaodong, and secondly, they can return to Liaodong by water at any time."

Chongzhen nodded, feeling that Wei Zaode was a man of means after all, and this idea was a good and appropriate one. In this way, Zhu Ciying could not threaten Gyeonggi. As for after the Xian thieves were put down, let's wait and see. The big deal... just give him a

King Sai, in the future, when the world is at peace, then cut down the feudal vassals!

When the time comes, the imperial court will have all the soldiers and horses in the world, and he will be able to rebel.

Even after General Pinglu arrives in Huguang, he can still find ways to disintegrate his Pinglu army, such as transferring them to other places and taking the opportunity to promote them to generals. By then, the Pinglu army will naturally fall apart. Of course

, which requires the right timing.

After thinking for a while he said:

"I will think about this matter again. If there is no more suitable person to come out of the capital to supervise the division, and the official will not make unreasonable suggestions, I will make General Pinglu the commander in chief."

After the ministers retreated, where could the impatient Chongzhen wait? He immediately called Wang Dehua, the Superintendent of Ceremonies, and ordered him to draft the draft on his behalf, and ordered General Pinglu to kiss him. When Wang Dehua was kneeling on the ground and had not yet gotten up, Chongzhen

Suddenly he said again.

"The sooner this is done, the better."

Then he waved Wang Dehua to withdraw. He sat on the dragon chair and thought about it for a while. Then he picked up his pen and wrote on a piece of paper with dragon watermarks on all sides:

"The Crown Prince of Defan, Ciying... The country is currently in a lot of troubles, and it is even more necessary for the clan members to show their strength and work together to overcome the difficulties in order to protect the country of the ancestors..."

…

When Chongzhen wrote the imperial edict in his own hand, he left the palace and outside the palace gate, Chen Yan smiled at Jiang Dejing and said:

"Zhongbao, it's still early now, why don't we take a rest at the restaurant in front."

Jiang Dejing, knowing that the other party must have something to say to him, hesitated for a moment and then said:

"Okay! Let's go to the Eight Immortals Tower."

The Eight Immortals Tower is located next to Chang'an Street. After leaving the Imperial City, the two of them quickly entered the restaurant in a sedan chair, and then went straight to the private room on the second floor. After the waiter served tea and exited the private room, Jiang Dejing

He looked at Chen Yan and said.

"I wonder what the chief assistant's orders are?"

"It's not like giving orders!"

Chen Yan waved his hand and said doubtfully:

"Zhongbao, there's one thing. I really don't understand why you proposed to let the Pinglu general defeat the bandits. If I remember correctly, at the beginning of the year, you also advocated the dismantling of the Pinglu army."

When the two of them were talking, the waiter did not greet them attentively. How come these waiters who are used to the world don't know that the patrons who came to the door today have different identities, so naturally they can't be too attentive? As long as they are invited to the upstairs seating area,

Then just knock on the door to remind you before delivering the food.

Who knows if these gentlemen are talking about big things?

Following the rules, I knocked on the door and interrupted the conversation between the elder and the waiter, who then served tea and food.

Seeing someone come in, the two people sitting by the window did not continue talking, but watched the people coming and going on the street, but their moods were different. It was not until the waiter left that Jiang Dejing sighed.

"Chief Assistant, what has been the situation in the pass since the Spring Festival? The trend of rogue bandits has become more and more intense, almost like a prairie fire. Seeing the risk of subverting the country at any time, I opposed it at the beginning of the year because the general was in the imperial court and in the country.

Sheji was a threat, but what about now? Rogue bandits are my Ming Dynasty’s greatest thorn in the side!”

Chen Yan nodded and said:

"That's true. The rogue bandits are becoming more and more powerful, which is really a serious problem for our Ming Dynasty! However, Zhongbao knows that once the general of Pinglu goes south to quell the bandits, even if the bandits are suppressed, there will definitely be..."

"What can you do?"

After a surprised response, Jiang Dejing asked.

"What the chief assistant means is that in the future General Pinglu will imitate King Yan's old deeds?"

Jiang Dejing asked in a deliberately lowered voice.

"But Chief Assistant, if you don't mobilize the generals to suppress the bandits, and allow the rogue bandits to become powerful, what will happen when they threaten the country in the future? As ministers, we do have to worry about whether they will follow the old example, but we must also consider the world.

His safety is in danger!”

"The safety of the world..."

Chen Yan pondered, but did not say anything.

"Chief Assistant, the turmoil in the world is not a blessing to the country, but it is not a blessing to the world if the rogue bandits cause chaos. Now the general is the only choice to put down the rogue bandits."

"What about Guan Ningjun? And the ancestral family!"

Faced with the problem of the first assistant, Jiang Dejing often sighed.

"Don't the chief ministers know that Guan Ning's army is the last elite in the hands of the imperial court? If it is defeated by rogue bandits, even if it follows the old example in the future, the imperial court may not be able to stop it,"

"Although the truth is this, but..."

Looking at Jiang Dejing, Chen Yan sighed.
