129 Jane in the Emperor's Heart
Before, Emperor Chongzhen learned through the eavesdropping seeds on Chen Xinjia that Sun Chuanting had already arrived in Shanxi and sent someone to request the military rations needed along the way from Chen Xinjia. However, Chen Xinjia gave a reply that there were not many grains and grass, and he wanted to use them for the troops of the governor of the Three-Border Region Hong Chengchou.
Now, Hong Chengchou has arrived later, where has Sun Chuanting been?
Emperor Chongzhen was thinking about it, and suddenly another eunuch came to report that Shaanxi Governor Sun Chuanting had led his troops to the outskirts of Beijing.
When he heard this, he was a little surprised that Sun Chuanting was so fast that he arrived almost at the same time as Hong Chengchou. Could it be that he was not subject to military rations?
Just as he was thinking, the eunuch reported to the cabinet assistant Yang Sichang for an interview.
Emperor Chongzhen didn't have to guess. He knew that two troops of royal supporters came outside the capital, and the outside court knew that Yang Sichang was no exception. At this time, he came here for the two armies of Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting.
Thinking of this, he sent an order to let Yang Sichang meet, but he wanted to see what Yang Sichang said?
After a greeting, Yang Sichang really mentioned the two king-supporting troops outside the suburbs of the capital as soon as he spoke, saying: "Your Majesty, the governor of the three sides, and the governor of Shaanxi Sun Chuanting have all arrived in the capital. But according to my hearing, the food and grass along the way were all supplied to Governor Hong first. I wondered, I wonder where the military rations needed for Governor Sun came all the way?"
Speaking of this, he peeked at the emperor's face, and then continued to comment: "Your Majesty had just severely punished the general Zu Kuan, who disturbed the people, to warn other troops to take it as a warning. As a civil servant, Governor Sun did not expect that he would not be like a martial artist. Therefore, I am willing to go and verify it to relieve Governor Sun. Please beg your Majesty for your kindness!"
On the surface, there was no clue that he wanted to get rid of Sun Chuanting. Instead, he was determined to think about Sun Chuanting and was not aware of the details, and was easily deceived by him.
Emperor Chongzhen commented in his heart, calmly on the surface, and immediately nodded and said, "What Yang Qing said is reasonable, and the report is correct!"
Yang Sichang was delighted when he heard this, and immediately replied: "Your Majesty, there is nothing wrong with Governor Hong. When you come to help thousands of miles away, the court should reward and condolences. Such a morale of the army is available, which will benefit the next battle."
The implication is that Emperor Chongzhen must immediately receive Hong Chengchou and at least make a gesture of commending him for helping him from thousands of miles away.
In theory, this is indeed the case, and Emperor Chongzhen should have done so too.
In the original history, Yang Sichang also used this move, which was actually a different treatment. He suggested that Emperor Chongzhen meet Hong Chengchou but did not allow Sun Chuanting to come to the capital to meet him, which made Sun Chuanting dissatisfied and resentful. After Yang Sichang made another move, he was so angry that he was deaf and made some inappropriate actions, and was attacked by Yang Sichang and finally sentenced to prison and questioned.
After Yang Sichang finished speaking, he looked at Emperor Chongzhen and waited for a reply. He was sure of this because the suggestions he made were natural and the emperor would not object.
However, Emperor Chongzhen actually understood his real purpose, so how could he be fooled by him? Therefore, he looked at Yang Sichang and seemed to smile slightly on his face, which made Yang Sichang feel so sad. Why did he have a bad premonition?
Just as he was thinking, Emperor Chongzhen said, "You said this, but I reminded me. Since that's the case, I'll call them to meet with you together. I want to ask Governor Sun personally to see how he replied, so there is no need to bother Yang Qing to run out of the capital."
"..." Yang Sichang was a little stupid when he heard this. If he had known this answer, he would not have mentioned the subsequent matter. He would have been ordered to make things difficult for Sun Chuanting, and then report that Sun Chuanting had a problem, so it would be natural to summon Hong Chengchou alone.
At this time, Emperor Chongzhen had already said this, and he could not stop him. After all, Sun Chuanting was also a rank-in-law official, and he often won battles in the war against thieves, so he was qualified to meet the emperor.
What should I do? Yang Sichang asked himself in his heart, did he miss the opportunity like this?
As a quick-minded person, Yang Sichang immediately thought of a solution and immediately reported to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, since this is the case, I am willing to go to the military camp to pass the imperial edict and check the situation of the two armies on the spot. If there is any problem, I believe I can see it."
"Oh?" Emperor Chongzhen said with a little playful look on his face when he heard this, "What Yang Qing meant is that he would have problems with Governor Sun?"
Yang Sichang was stunned when he heard this, and felt in his heart, why is it becoming more and more difficult for the emperor to speak?
However, on the surface, he immediately responded respectfully: "Your Majesty, what I mean is that I know some military affairs. If I go to the military camp personally, there will be rumors in the capital, and you can also testify for Governor Sun. If you believe others will not say anything."
Haha, what if you don’t testify to Sun Chuanting and frame Sun Chuanting? With your identity, wouldn’t it be even more unfavorable to Sun Chuanting? Emperor Chongzhen sneered and thought in his heart, then nodded and said, “Yang Qing is right, then that’s it!”
When Yang Sichang heard this, he was delighted and was about to quit the palace.
But at this moment, Emperor Chongzhen said again: "Chen Baoting?"
"I am here!" The personal eunuch Chen Baoting immediately bowed and waited for the order.
"You go with Yang Qing and follow Yang Qing. The military man in the army is rude. If the soldiers in the army are rude to Yang Qing, please write down your name and report it to me!"
Yang Sichang next to him was speechless. With his identity, how could he be rude to him? Even Sun Chuanting did not have the courage to be rude to him! It would be too much for the emperor to do this! In this way, some things would be difficult to do.
He wanted to refuse, but Emperor Chongzhen did not give him a chance, so he asked him to go and go back quickly, so as not to delay the war to turn back.
Yang Sichang had no choice but to take Chen Baoting away with him.
Looking at his back as he left the hall, Emperor Chongzhen felt a little helpless. If there were enough seeds of eavesdropping, he would not have to send Chen Baoting there. He would know what Yang Sichang did after going to the military camp outside the city.
Of course, if Yang Sichang doesn't send anyone, if he doesn't speak, he just despises Sun Chuanting and his people from his behavior, and deliberately seeks trouble, he will not know by just eavesdropping on seeds.
About an hour later, Yang Sichang brought the three-sided governor Hong Chengchou and the Shaanxi Governor Sun Chuanting to come to see him and submit the order.
Emperor Chongzhen has been famous for Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting for a long time in later generations. At this time, he saw the two of them bowing with Yang Sichang, and he couldn't help but observe them carefully.
Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting were born in the same year, but from the perspective of their appearance, Hong Chengchou is younger. Moreover, Hong Chengchou's behavior is very consistent with the identity of a civil servant in the Ming Dynasty. On the contrary, Sun Chuanting's behavior has more military spirit.
Emperor Chongzhen also noticed a detail. When entering the hall, Hong Chengchou looked respectful. When he looked at Yang Sichang or the eunuch, he was kind and kind, which made people feel close. However, Sun Chuanting was expressionless and had a serious face. The first impression they gave was that Hong Chengchou was easy to get along with, while Sun Chuanting was difficult to deal with.
After the ceremony, Emperor Chongzhen said with a serious face: "The Jianlu is still raging in the pass, and the two nobles will finally arrive in time. I feel so comforted. I hope that you two can do their best to kill the enemy and serve the country in the next battle!"
"This is a matter of equal part of my work, and I must devote myself to it until I die." When Hong Chengchou heard this, he immediately responded respectfully.
Sun Chuanting was delayed for a moment, and seemed to hesitate a little, and then replied: "Your Majesty, Jianlu is in great power, and he may not be able to confront him head-on. I think it is necessary to be careful and choose his weak and attack him. It will take a certain amount of time."
"..." Emperor Chongzhen was speechless. You Sun Chuanting was really good. Don't you see how Hong Chengchou answered? Just keep it straightforward. Will those who are emperors like to listen?
Haha, but I like it!
Although he was thinking so in his heart, Emperor Chongzhen was silent on the surface and looked down. Suddenly, he found that Yang Sichang secretly looked at Sun Chuanting, with a hint of humor in his eyes, which was a bit like watching the show.
Emperor Chongzhen knew it, and then he looked at Sun Chuanting and suddenly said, "I heard from Yang Qing that you did not get military rations from the place along the way. Then, Yang Qing was a little curious about how you arrived at the capital and where did the food eaten by the soldiers come from?"
When Sun Chuanting heard this, he turned to look at Yang Sichang. There was no expression on his face. He didn't know what he thought of Yang Sichang. He quickly turned around and bowed to the emperor and replied: "Your Majesty, I am about to impeach the prefectures and counties along the way. They said that food can only be supplied to Governor Hong. If it weren't for the food and wages obtained from the recharge of the funds from the Qingtun to support the army to reach the capital, and there was no grain in the army to mutiny halfway, it would be impossible for me to control it."
It is obvious that Sun Chuanting had long since thought that he might not be able to raise food on the way to King Qin, so he brought the food on the way.
When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he smiled and said, "It seems that Sun Qing's plan to replenish the salary in Qingtun is very good. It is done well and has solved a lot of trouble for the court. Even if Taizu knew about the spirit of the sky, he would be pleased that the strategy of farming was actually effective!"
Sun Chuanting hired the governor of Shaanxi in the ninth year of Chongzhen. When he established the army in Yulin, he raised money and grain by himself, and did not let the court allocate food and money by himself. His self-raised method was to follow the ancestral system, clear the treasury and reclaim the occupied military fields, and implement self-sufficiency. The military soldiers had logistical support, which also made the Qin soldiers under his command outstanding military achievements.
Now that Emperor Chongzhen praised him for the Qingtun replenishment of money in person, he fully affirmed that the strategy of Qingtun replenishing money was effective, and even brought out Taizu for this. It has to be said that this must be quite heavy.
When Yang Sichang heard what he said, his face was joking about Sun Chuanting's face just now, and he suddenly froze and he stayed there.
Sun Chuanting is not a fool. He knew that he had offended a lot of people when he did the Qingtou pay. However, he was confident that as long as he won a battle, the court would have to rely on him, and it would not matter. But no matter what, he was still a little uneasy.
At this time, when he heard Emperor Chongzhen’s actions so affirmed, his heart suddenly put in his stomach. There was a rare look of excitement on his face. He sincerely clasped his fists and bowed, "Your Majesty, wise!"
Hong Chengchou on the side lowered his head slightly and glanced at Sun Chuanting slantedly, feeling a little surprised.
He and Sun Chuanting are both in Shaanxi, and he is the governor of the three sides. Many people have reported this to him for this. However, he understood that the focus of the Ming Dynasty is to suppress the thieves and suppress the rebellion. Sun Chuanting did this and was under the ancestral system. Even if he came forward for the subordinates, he didn't care.
However, he always thought that Sun Chuanting would pay the price for this matter sooner or later, and this approach was the most unwise!
But unexpectedly, the emperor praised him in person so much. It is obvious that this crazy man Sun was a blessing in disguise. With the emperor so affirmed, at least in the short term, he should be in the emperor's heart, and there is no possibility of any future.
He was thinking that Emperor Chongzhen had turned to look at Yang Sichang and said to him: "Yang Qing can rest assured now. Sun Qing brought his own food, and he did not rob the place if you heard about it!"
"It seems that I heard that it was a rumor!" Yang Sichang was a little embarrassed by Emperor Chongzhen's words so bluntly, and he quickly lowered his head and replied.
At the same time, he felt a little distressed. Judging from this situation, Sun Chuanting has such a great favor from the emperor, which is really aggravated!
By this time, the butterfly effect of the time traveler has been fully revealed.
In the original history, Lu Xiangsheng had already died in battle at this time; when Sun Chuanting first arrived in the capital, he was imprisoned by Yang Sichang, and then he suggested to Emperor Chongzhen that Hong Chengchou be allowed to guard the capital, but Sun Chuanting replaced Lu Xiangsheng's duty to fight against the Qing Dynasty.
After the Qing army left the customs, Yang Sichang made an idea for Emperor Chongzhen to transfer Hong Chengchou to the Governor of Ji Liao and kicked Sun Chuanting back to Shaanxi. If that was the case, it would be fine. The key is that the elite Qin soldiers trained by Sun Chuanting himself would also stay in the capital and let Sun Chuanting go back as a bare-boned governor.
This made Sun Chuanting sick and resigned from his post. After all, the disease that he had worked hard for several years was gone and he went back to fuck. As a result, Yang Sichang reminded Emperor Chongzhen that Sun Chuanting had an objection to the court and was dissatisfied, so he resigned from his post. In the end, Sun Chuanting fought for the Ming Dynasty and made countless achievements, but he was imprisoned.
Now, Emperor Chongzhen's series of words and deeds all show that he attaches great importance to Sun Chuanting. Even if he speaks straightforwardly when he makes the right report, the emperor is not only not angry, but instead praises a lot. The ideas that Yang Sichang was holding in his heart either went bankrupt after using them or died of the fetus.
Just this time, Emperor Chongzhen had an intuitive impression of Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting. I won’t talk about Sun Chuanting, Hong Chengchou is actually a standard civil servant. However, compared to others, he is relatively pragmatic and capable, and he can also be used.
The summoning did not last long. Emperor Chongzhen was thinking about the war and asked Yang Sichang to explain the latest battle situation to the two commanders, and then gave Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting the order that after they had a day of rest, the entire army set out and went to meet with Lu Xiangsheng and obeyed Lu Xiangsheng's orders.
