Chapter 331 The choice between the war in the western regions and the war in the southeast
When Sucheng arrived at the Imperial City, it was already You hour.
At this time, the night moon was bright, and the bright moonlight spread all over the earth. The palace gates, guards, eunuchs, and palace walls were all shrouded in the moonlight from far and near.
The Han general who was guarding the gate checked Su Cheng's seal, and the eunuch separated and led Su Cheng into the palace.
Walking on the official road entering the palace, except for the sound of footsteps, the surroundings were quiet, and only the lighted palace lanterns brought a hint of noise to the quiet night.
In the distance, the gate of Benren Hall was open, and the lights in the hall pressed over the moonlight. Su Cheng walked into Benren Hall as if he was from silence to the hustle and bustle.
In the hall, Zhu Qiyu sat on the main seat with a heavy face, next to him were several large trunks from the Sili Supervisor. Cheng Jing, who had not seen him for many days, was also present.
Su Cheng bowed to Zhu Qiyu. Zhu Qiyu glanced at Su Cheng, asked him to sit down, and ordered Cheng Jing to bring a military newspaper over.
"You should have read this copy of the military newspaper. If the Western Xinjiang is defeated again, the Jing'an Hou Fan Guang was ambushed and defeated again. More than 10,000 Ming troops were trapped in the fort between Shazhou and Suzhou. The court must send troops as soon as possible."
Su Cheng nodded:
"We must send troops as soon as possible, but this is a bit abnormal."
Zhu Qiyu nodded:
"Fan Guangxie Goudan is not an incompetent general. He was defeated and surrounded one after another. This shows that something happened to the Seven Guards of Guanxi, and it is not a trivial matter. The generals need to come forward and suppress them to resolve the matter."
Su Cheng nodded:
"Let me go. There is a bandit chaos in the southeast. You only need to send a side general to patrol the sea and block the islands supplied to the outer sea. After a long time, you can naturally force those people to return to the land and capture them when the time comes."
"The northwest is a plain and field war. If the East Chagatai Khanate really joins forces with the Handong Left Guard, it will be hard to say whether it can protect the Suzhou Guard."
Zhu Qiyu sighed when he heard this:
"Ningyuan Bo is a ritual, Ningyang Hou Chen Mao, Jingyuan Bo Wang Ji are all meritorious ministers. Unfortunately, they are unwilling to be loyal to me. You have to force Su Cheng to lead the troops and rush to the desert."
Su Cheng looked at several nearby officials.
Zhu Qiyu understood and raised his hand to signal the few people to leave.
Cheng Jing and Xing'an looked at each other and had no choice but to leave. Shu Liang also walked out with his eyes flashing.
Su Cheng said to Zhu Qiyu:
"I will definitely conquer all the Western Regions when I go to the Western Regions and open up the Silk Road. As for the East Chagatai Khanate, the Timur Empire, and the Yue-Earth Khanate, I will wipe out all these small and big countries and open up the channel to the Great Qin and Persia."
Zhu Qiyu looked up at the map after hearing this, but couldn't believe it:
"This place is vast and comparable to our Ming Dynasty. Even if we fight, I, the Ming Dynasty, are afraid that I, will not be able to defend it."
Su Cheng nodded:
"Most of them are Mongols. In order to maintain the rule of our Ming Dynasty, I will kill people and use iron blood to maintain the rule of our Ming Dynasty. However, there are too few people in my Ming Dynasty, which is a big hidden danger and requires immigration to live in the border."
Zhu Qiyu was a little worried when he heard this:
"My people from Daming have been relocated to the land. I am afraid they are unwilling to migrate to the border. If they are forced, it will be unbeautiful."
"When you go to Sucheng, you can break up the East Chagatai Khanate and conquer the seven guards of Kansai, so that these small countries dare not intercept the trade routes. As for the others, you can discuss them later."
Su Cheng nodded:
"It's good. I can return in less than two years. However, during my period of conservancy to the Western Regions, I hope Your Majesty can win over the court officials and strictly prevent Empress Dowager Sun and not give the Supreme Emperor a chance to restore the throne again."
Zhu Qiyu waved his hand:
"Sucheng, you are too worried. After the Nangong is closed, the Supreme Emperor will not see the foreign ministers. How can he collude with him?
The left and right are just some connections between Queen Mother Sun and those unsuccessful nobles, but they are all means in the court and will not harm them at all."
Su Cheng advised Zhu Qiyu:
"The Supreme Emperor's intention to restore the throne is not dead. Your Majesty must be cautious in dealing with things. If something is wrong, you must take care of your life and wait for your return."
Zhu Qiyu smiled:
"Okay, the court is stable now, and the whole country is united. When you say this, it seems that the court is already surging and dark clouds are everywhere. I will be concerned about this matter and will not allow the Supreme Emperor to have the opportunity to restore the throne."
Su Cheng stood up and told Zhu Qiyu:
"Your Majesty must take care of yourself, give birth to more princes, and ask the queen and Concubine Xian to give birth to more sons for Your Majesty, but don't touch those women who pay tribute to the tutors again."
Zhu Qiyu waved his hand and signaled Su Cheng to leave quickly:
"Okay, okay, go to the Western Regions quickly and drive out the Mongols and Yuan people, so that I can live a few more years."
Su Cheng left Benren Hall.
Shu Liang and Cheng Jing Xing'an came back, and Zhu Qiyu ordered:
"Issued an order to be appointed as the general of the Western Expedition, and the general led his troops to the west to rescue the Suzhou Guards."
After saying that, Zhu Qiyu frowned and thought about it, thinking about the iron-blooded suppression mentioned by Su Cheng, and then said:
"Add the king's order to Sucheng, and he has the right to behead the court officials first and then report. He can recruit soldiers and horses from all over the way."
Cheng Jing Shuliang was shocked, and the two knelt down and said:
"It is not a good thing that King Khotan is so powerful, your Majesty."
Zhu Qiyu glanced at the kneeling two people:
"Get up, what are your little thoughts? I know, and you know what I am thinking. Just draw an order like this."
"Cao Tai made great contributions in handling the maritime business case, and promoted the right deputy censor to the Censor, and assisted the King of Khotan to supervise the three armies."
Zhu Qiyu waved his hand, and stopped Cheng Jing, who was still trying to persuade him, and told Shu Liang to say:
"Go, draw an order."
Shu Liang left, but Cheng Jing had no choice but to kowtow respectfully and get up from the ground.
"Your Majesty, I am in good health, and I am getting worse every day. Please let Your Majesty agree to me for my care."
Zhu Qiyu glanced at Cheng Jing:
"Cheng Jing, you are in good health, so stay more and take care of the affairs in the palace."
Xing'an next to him was overjoyed when he heard this, but Zhu Qiyu's next words made his joy frozen.
"You are still in charge of the mission of the Silijian, so you won't be a little confused because you don't care about the matter and will mess with you again."
Zhu Qiyu looked at Cheng Jing, who looked a little haggard, and felt a little unbearable.
Cheng Jing was the inner official who was named Queen of Huang and sent to him. Because he was a scholar, he was quite different from ordinary inner official. If it weren't for his identity as a teacher in the Nei Shu Hall, he would have changed him long ago.
However, he doesn't know how to recognize people, and he always has bad things, which makes him very unhappy.
There was Shi Heng, Cao Jixiang before, and Shi Biao later. How many of these people are loyal to me?
It was already a blessing to let him be prosperous in the inner palace.
"Go down."
Zhu Qiyu waved his hand and signaled Cheng to take a tribute.
Cheng Jing left, Xing'an and Shu Liang stayed in the hall.
Zhu Qiyu looked at the two of them with a look of displeasure. It would be fine if Xing'an was not outstanding, and he could not hide his joys and angers, and he could not hide anything in front of him.
On the contrary, Shu Liang was accustomed to guessing people's thoughts and was also a master. Although loyalty was available, he had a lot of slandering about Su Cheng these days, which obviously made him jealous of Su Cheng.
"Shuliang, you are different from Sucheng. Sucheng is the pillar of my country and governing the country. Even suppressing nobles and foreign dynasties cannot do without him. He is a clear-minded person. If I don't let him down, he will not let me down. If I don't let him down, it will be hard to say the world."
Shu Liang knelt on the ground:
"I am guilty of my son. I am guilty of the emperor. I should not have any strange thoughts. I will apologize to the prince."
Zhu Qiyu waved his hand:
"Sucheng is not a person who is careful, but you should be careful not to be arrogant by favor and hate King Khotan."
Zhu Qiyu got up, left the hall, leaving Shu Liang to kneel on the ground.
