Zhou Kui and Zhang Jinyan sat in the imperial study room, their faces were solemn. Logically, those who could enter the imperial study room were all favored by the emperor. This was an honor and trust, and it was worthy of happiness. However, the two did not show the happy expression, because Chongzhen, who was sitting on it, had a more solemn expression. ⊙

"Best-in-law, Zhang Qing's family, you are all the people I trust the most. In your opinion, what should I do about this?" Chongzhen said with a frown.

Zhou Kui was the father of Empress Zhou, and was a concubine of Jiading Bo. He was originally a small official. When Zhu Youjian married his daughter or believed in the king, he did not expect that one day he would become the father-in-law of the country. Although he was a mediocre person, he had good feng shui on his ancestral grave and accidentally became the emperor's father-in-law; and Zhang Jinyan was the Minister of War, both of them were the people who Chongzhen trusted the most. When encountering difficult things, he naturally consulted their opinions. Now, the officials of the court were divided into two factions because Lu Haoshan held his own troops and threatened the court to be quarreled and no one could convince anyone. For a strong emperor, the opinions of the ministers could only be used as a reference, and the final decision was in the hands of Chongzhen. In fact, the officials of the court also had this meaning.

At least you don't have to be responsible.

So, after Chongzhen went to court, he brought his father-in-law and the Minister of War Xuan into the imperial study room to discuss.

Zhou Kui and Zhang Jinyan knew what Chongzhen was talking about, that was the Sichuan incident. Recently, Sichuan was in chaos. First, the commander Han Wenden of Sichuan was missing, and then the bandits entered Sichuan and captured a large area of ​​territory. Finally, they surrounded Chengdu. In the end, they evolved into Lizhou Guard Commander Lu Wenhua, who held troops to support themselves. He first subdued the Yaohuang Shisan family and took over Sichuan while the chaos was in chaos. This was not the end. The anti-orders refused to obey and the imperial army was not allowed to enter Sichuan. He went to war with Cao Wenzhao and Hong Chengchou one after another.

The second battle ended with complete victory. At the same time, he also asked the court to sign him as the commander-in-chief and governor of Sichuan, and was in charge of major military and political affairs in Sichuan. After all, this was a disguised splitting of the soil and becoming the king.

As the father-in-law of the country, Zhou Kui has a special status. Hearing the words, he said angrily: "It's incredible that the little commander of the guard can actually control Sichuan in a short period of time. It must have been planned for a long time. Such a big thing. The Jinyiwei knew nothing. What did Luo Yangxing do for?"

The Jinyiwei is a notorious spy aircraft, engaged in reconnaissance, arrest, interrogation, and also participated in the collection of military information and instigation of enemy generals. From officials to civil rebellion, it can be said that it is the emperor's eyes and ears. Such a big incident happened in Sichuan, but the Jinyiwei did not get any news in advance. Strictly speaking, this is a very dereliction of duty. Luo Yangxing is the commander of the Jinyiwei. Others are afraid of him, but Zhou Kui is not afraid of him, so he immediately started to scold him.

"I have already punished him heavily. The father-in-law, now I should think about how to deal with the situation in Sichuan." Chongzhen said lightly.

Because Wei Zhongxian and Chongzhen were also threatened by the Jinyiwei and knew its destructive power. After taking office, he greatly reduced his power and his funds were severely reduced, which made Wei Zhongxian, the Jinyiwei no longer outstanding. In addition to supervising all officials, spying on news of Liaodong, infiltrating the bandits, etc., in order to do this, under limited conditions, Luo Yang's surname can be said to have done his best. He did not invest too much energy in the relatively stable Sichuan, and he was suddenly out of reach.

If the horse wants to run away and not let the horse eat too much grass, Chongzhen just scolded him and didn't say much.

In order to prevent the descendants of relatives from interfering in the affairs of the court, the Ming Dynasty tended to choose a woman who was a "small family" in the election. Although Zhou Kui was a father-in-law, he actually had no talent and could express opinions on some small matters, but it was related to national affairs. How could he dare to come up with any ideas? Hearing this, he turned his head to Zhang Jinyan and said, "Shangshu Zhang, you are in charge of the Ministry of War and are familiar with the situation. It is better for you to say these things."

As the Minister of War, Zhang Jinyan had long known that he could not escape, and he did not dare to shirk his words. He bowed to Chongzhen and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to say, don't you know if you should say it?"

"Tell me, there are no outsiders here, so Zhang Aiqing is right. Even if he is wrong, I forgive you for not being guilty."

"Yes, the emperor" with permission from Chongzhen, Zhang Jinyan said with concern: "Eat the king's fortune and bear the king's worries. Lu Wenhua took advantage of the chaos and held his own troops, and did not think about his kindness. He dared to use force against the king's army. He was lawless and could not redeem his crimes even if he died. However, the Liaodong front was in a hurry, and the Later Jin Dynasty became increasingly rampant. The rebels such as Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong were becoming stronger and stronger. The wider the disaster area was not only the people were deeply affected, but also had a great impact on the imperial army's source and tax revenue. Now he was demolishing the east wall and repairing the west wall, and was exhausted to deal with it. If he had more than 100,000 troops in his hand, he occupied Lu Wenhua, who was easy to defend and difficult to attack Sichuan, he was afraid that he would not be able to afford it. The road to Shu was difficult to reach the blue sky. Not to mention anything else, just the transportation of food and grass would be an astronomical expense."

Chongzhen frowned and said, "Can you let him be arrogant?"

"Emperor, then Lu Wenhua just asked the emperor to be appointed as an official, and did not rebel under the banner. The ministers are still ministers, and the king is still kings. Now let him go first. Of course, this is just a temporary solution. After all the rebels are dealt with, the great troubles of the Later Jin Dynasty will be solved and freed up their hands. Then we will settle the accounts with him slowly. Please give the emperor a priority to the country."

Zhou Kui said with some dissatisfaction: "If Lu Wenhua is fulfilled, I am afraid that others will follow suit. Then wouldn't the Ming Dynasty be even more chaotic? Why don't we send troops to destroy him and kill him to warn him?"

Zhang Jinyan shook his head and said, "My father-in-law, it would be fine if it were other people. But we can't move Lu Wenhua for the time being, and there is only Lu Wenhua in the world."

"Oh, how can you explain this?" Chongzhen also became interested.

"There are three reasons for the emperor's words," Zhang Jinyan said calmly: "One is needless to say, it is difficult to get out of internal and external troubles now; the second is the unique terrain of Sichuan. Sichuan is a basin with four sides, high and bottom in the middle, and the terrain is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Just one Jianmen Pass can block a million powerful troops. Now I can't draw too much troops to fight. However, there are two favorable news. One is that the Lu surname still claims to be a minister, which leaves us room for room for us. The second is that Sichuan is difficult to attack, but they are also difficult to get out. Zhuge Liang, who was close to the demon, died in Shuai, and he failed to complete his great cause in his life. The terrain has more than enough defense but insufficient attack. He is not afraid of him becoming a big shot. Others dare to learn from Lu Wenhua. They do not have the natural dangers of Sichuan. When Wang Shuai arrives, he will defeat them, such native chickens and tile dogs."

After saying so much in one breath, Zhang Jinyan was a little tired, and took a breath and continued, "There is another point in it. The commander of the Lizhou Guard has a new fire system. It is powerful and has a long range. It is said that it does not use a fuse to fire. It is extremely powerful. Hong Chengchou suffered a great loss under its command. Even Cao Bianjiao, known as the evil tiger, was also injured under this fire gun. Hong Chengchou said in the letter that if he could not find a way to restrain himself, he would fight all the 30,000 soldiers under his command and could not conquer Zitian Pass. Emperor, think twice."

Chongzhen also read these things in the memorial. When he heard this, he asked bitterly: "Zhang Aiqing, is there no other way?"

Zhang Jinyan shook his head gently.

After a while, Chongzhen's helpless sigh sounded in the imperial study...

When the imperial court asked whether to grant Lu Haoshan an official title at the request, Lu Haoshan was not idle. Under the coordination of Li Nian, he took over all matters in Sichuan in an orderly manner, such as personnel adjustment, food and grass, recruitment of soldiers, post-war comfort, etc. Of course, he should not hesitate to win over the work of winning over the work, because of the turmoil, many official positions were vacant, which were just used to win over the wealthy families and absorb their outstanding disciples, but also to win over the relationship between the two and win their support.

Of course, the best weapon to tie them into a chariot is interests.

To gain support, you must have allies. It is impossible to cover everything. In the final analysis, it is to sacrifice the interests of some people and use the interests of this film to achieve the goal of winning over it. Lu Haoshan had long thought of this and did a good job. At the beginning, the people and wealthy families in Sichuan did not have a high evaluation of Lu Haoshan, but when Lu Haoshan only introduced the first decree, it immediately received warm welcome from Sichuan military and civilians and even wealthy families.
