Ming Dynasty: The opening spoiler: Chongzhen is the king who lost his country

"Shanhaiguan is important?".

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he involuntarily stood up and asked.

"Your Majesty rest assured, the minister has ordered several Qinwang troops to go to assist in the defense of Shanhaiguan, together with the original garrison, there is a danger of heaven and earth, and Jiannu has lost the opportunity to sneak attack, so Shanhaiguan has no possibility of falling. "

When Emperor Chongzhen heard that he had already prepared Jiannu to attack Shanhaiguan, he was relieved, but he had doubts about the second half of what Sun Chengzong said: "Why is there no ability to pursue at present?"

"Your Majesty, the strength of Jiannu lies in field warfare, and the strength of our army lies in defending the city. If you pursue, then the field battle is inevitable, and you have little chance of winning by attacking the other with your own shortcomings. If there is a loss, Jiannu will return to attack the Beijing division, afraid that it will be difficult to defend. "

Emperor Chongzhen nodded, he knew his own affairs.

"This is one of them. Second, the Qinwang army from all walks of life came in a hurry, and the grain, grass and ordnance were all missing, and the soldiers were uneven, so they needed to replenish the materials and rectify the soldiers. Otherwise, although there are many of them, once they encounter Jiannu, they are afraid that they will collapse. "

When Sun Chengzong said this, he paused slightly, and said in a loud voice: "Third, there are still Qinwang troops scattered in other parts of Gyeonggi that need to be contacted and coordinated to take unified actions. "

"Master Sun, is there any other four?".

Sun Chengzong looked at the young Emperor Chongzhen, and knew that his next words were going to poke at his death hole, so he deliberately lowered his voice: "Your Majesty, the army of King Qin currently gathered in the land of Beijing is about 350,000, and the army of King Qin from some distant provinces is still coming one after another, I don't know if the grain and grass army is enough?"

Emperor Chongzhen had a headache, and it was this problem again. After thinking for a while, he said to Sun Chengzong: "Master Sun, don't wait, I will pass the Hubu Shangshu over and ask." "

Soon, Bi Ziyan, the head of the household department, came over, and when he heard this question, he also had a headache: "Your Majesty, the minister estimated last time that it was only enough for an army of 300,000 for a month. I wonder how long this war will last?".

This question obviously had to be answered by Sun Chengzong, and he estimated it and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the time it takes for Jiannu to go back to harvest their own grain and grass, and the time it takes to plunder the rich population and the time it takes to settle down estimates, there are at least four months left to stay in the pass. "

In this case, the grain and grass are obviously not enough, Bi Ziyan looked at Emperor Chongzhen helplessly, remembered something, and said: "Your Majesty, the rice and grain in Jingshi have more than doubled compared with a few days ago, and I am afraid it will be even more difficult to continue the needs of the army." "

Emperor Chongzhen sat down slowly, leaned his head on the back of the imperial chair weakly, and frowned and thought: The grain and grass are insufficient, so the only way to fight a decisive battle in advance is to drive away Jiannu. But his own army is not enough in the field, and if he really fights, he may not be annihilated by the other side, what is the best of both worlds?

After thinking about it for a while, he didn't come up with it, so he had to ask Sun Chengzong: "Does Master Sun have a good plan?"

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is necessary to train elite soldiers, and the current priority is to rectify the Qinwang army, eliminate the weak and retain the strong, one is to save food and grass and military salaries, and the other is to strengthen combat effectiveness. "

As soon as Bi Ziyan heard that he could save military supplies and reduce his pressure, he immediately seconded the proposal.

Emperor Chongzhen thought about it, and there was only one way to do it at present, so he agreed to Sun Chengzong's proposal, but he was a little worried and instructed Sun Chengzong: "Master Sun, there is still a lot to worry about in the rectification, if you can do it quickly, Jiannu is raging in the pass, my people are still suffering, and I am not at ease!"

"Do your best!".

Okay, let's discuss it here, that's it for now, Sun Chengzong and Bi Ziyan will leave and leave.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Yun's recital has been written. "

Wang Chengen came in, and when he saw that Emperor Chongzhen's deliberations were over, he stepped forward and said.

"Oh, bring it to me. "

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he hurriedly ordered.

However, when Emperor Chongzhen saw it, he felt very unaccustomed, what are these messy symbols for? It's the first time I've seen such a piece of music.

Wang Chengen looked at Emperor Chongzhen's frowning brows below, and knew why. Why do you say he knows this, because he first peeked at Yun Zheng's recital.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Yun also has a recital that explains those icons. "

"Oh, bring it. "

After Emperor Chongzhen read the explanation of the punctuation marks, he compared it with the previous movement, and it was clear at once. After reading it, he leaned on the back of the imperial chair, but he was no longer frowning, he just thought, and after a while, he asked, "Otomo, what do you think of this so-called punctuation?"

In the main worship hall, there are only two people, Emperor Chongzhen and Wang Chengen, and there are no foreign ministers.

If there are foreign ministers, even if Emperor Chongzhen asks, Wang Chengen does not dare to express his opinion, Wei Zhongxian has just fallen, and the eunuchs interfere in politics.

Wang Chengen thought for a while, and replied to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, the slave maid remembers that when His Majesty first ascended the throne, there was an edict asking the ministers: the chapter is lengthy, and it is inconvenient to read it. "

After a slight pause, he expressed his opinion: "The slave maid thinks that His Majesty's intention is to improve efficiency, but Mr. Guanyun's method makes up for the mistake of breaking the sentence. After all, ordinary people do not have the talent of His Majesty, and it would be a pity if officials did the wrong thing because of the mistake of breaking the sentence when they understood His Majesty's intentions. "

Wang Chengen looked at Emperor Chongzhen and nodded slightly, so he made his own summary: "Mr. Yun's law is in line with His Majesty's requirements, which is a little shallow view of the slave." "

"Yes, the big companion can see the wonder of Mr. Yun's method at once. "

Emperor Chongzhen praised Wang Chengen with a smile, thought about it, and said, "The eldest companion went to Wen Tiren, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, to come to meet him. If I want to promote this method, I have to ask for the advice of the lower Ministry of Rites. "

"Yes, Your Majesty. "

Wang Chengen bowed and retreated.

Emperor Chongzhen sat on the imperial chair, put the two pieces side by side, and looked at them carefully. A smile appeared on his face: Mr. Yun, he has great talents, and his ideas are one after another. But its literary brilliance, hehe, Chongzhen shook his head unconsciously, this vernacular, it is impossible for Tong Sheng to write such a concerto, if Tong Sheng is qualified to write.

After a while, Wen Tiren, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, was summoned to come to the audience, just before he came, he was still thinking about what was going on, and His Majesty was very unhappy recently, so there would be no bad luck.

After arriving, I found that Emperor Chongzhen's face was stretched and he smiled slightly, and he knew that it would not be a bad thing.

Seeing Wen Tiren coming to meet him, remembering the conversation between him and Yun Zheng and the matter of saving the driver together, I couldn't help but have the idea of laughing with Wen Tiren: "Do you know why I Chuanqing came over?"

It's definitely not about the rule of officials, the construction of slaves, and the Qin Wangjun, and these things can't be smiling with the saints. So what is it, what makes His Majesty happy, and I haven't heard anything happy about the DPRK and China.

Wen Tiren thought about it again and again, and sorted out the possibilities again.

"Your Majesty, but Yun Zheng gave you any good ideas?"

Wen Tiren said tentatively.

"Hehe, Aiqing is really smart, just guess it. "

Emperor Chongzhen praised Wen Tiren with a smile, and then continued: "Mr. Yun has given me two ideas, one of which involves the Ministry of Rites, so I sent you over to discuss it. "

"I don't know what the idea is, Your Majesty, can you let the minister take a look. Wen Tiren bowed.

Wang Chengen has been standing aside to watch the conversation between the two monarchs and ministers, and he is also happy about the good mood of Emperor Chongzhen now, and it is rare for the master to smile!

Before he finished sighing, he heard Emperor Chongzhen's words, and hurriedly stepped forward to take a piece of music and pass it to Wen Tiren.
