After listening to Sun Chengzong's words, Duke Dingguo nodded slowly. Although he rarely participated in court battles, Duke Dingguo was also deeply affected by it. Sun Chengzong had deep trust in Emperor Tianqi, which no one in the court could compare with. People like himself

Entering the military aircraft office was just an attempt by Emperor Tianqi to stabilize people's hearts. The one who could really make the decision was Sun Chengzong.

In other words, what Sun Chengzong meant was what Emperor Tianqi meant, and Duke Dingguo saw this very clearly. Since the gradual decline of Wu Xun, the court has been dominated by civilian officials, and all major military and political affairs have been left to the hands of civilian officials. Military generals are also under the control of civilian officials.

, these Ding Guogong naturally did not want to see it, but there was no way.

The emperors of the Ming Dynasty all competed with civil servants for power, which led to the exclusive power of Dongchang and Jinyiwei. Looking back at the entire era, there are countless such examples. Those eunuchs who were dictatorial were not so much that they were against the civil servants, but that they were against the civil servants.

It is the emperor who needs them to be right with the civil servants. The political struggle is very deep and there is no way to clearly say right or wrong.

However, Duke Dingguo saw hope in Emperor Tianqi. Although Emperor Tianqi also valued Jinyiwei and Dongchang, it was at the beginning of his accession to the throne. The establishment of the Military Aircraft Department was used to fight against civil servants, equalization reforms, separation of civil and military affairs, etc.

These are all extremely wise measures. In Ding Guogong's view, Emperor Tianqi's approach was quite good in order to change Wu Xun's low status.

After seeing hope, Duke Dingguo naturally understood how to deal with himself. He respected Sun Chengzong very much. Although he was a civil servant, Sun Chengzong was very proficient in martial arts. He was a very talented person and one of the top civil servants.

It is rare that there is no discrimination against generals.

"Sir, this is a booklet just sent by Liaodong. Please take a look at it." Justice Dingguo was thinking wildly when a clerk from the Military Aircraft Department came in, bowed respectfully to the two people, and said.

Sun Chengzong was slightly stunned. It was not a strange thing to have memorials sent in at this time. The Ming Dynasty was so big. There were countless memorials every day, and there would be memorials at any time. But all the memorials that could be delivered to him at this time were urgent.

The details must be extremely important.

After glancing at Duke Ding on the side, Sun Chengzong slowly nodded to the scribe and said expressionlessly: "Bring it over!"

"Yes, sir!" The scribe respectfully delivered the memorial to Sun Chengzong. Then he bowed and bowed out.

Taking the memorial, Sun Chengzong couldn't wait to read it. Since the last war, Northern Xinjiang has been very stable. Both the Jiannu and the Mongolian Tatars have become honest for a while. But Sun Chengzong also knows very well in his heart,

This is just an appearance.

The Jiannu and the Mongolian Tatars are just recuperating. Now they have no ability to harass the Ming Dynasty. What's more, Liaodong is now well-armed and strong, so it would be a blessing not to trouble them. The Ming Dynasty is currently reforming its military system, although some people are asking Emperor Tianqi to

It is suggested that we take this opportunity to conquer the north to build slaves.

However, all such proposals were rejected by Emperor Apocalypse. As the saying goes, to make iron, you need to be strong. Emperor Apocalypse now only wants to implement reforms in the country. All his energy is concentrated on the country, and for a while he is unable to do anything else.

Could it be that something happened again in Liaodong? After reading the memorial, Sun Chengzong breathed a sigh of relief.

"Master Sun, is there something big happening in Liaodong?" When he saw Sun Chengzong's solemn expression just now, Duke Dingguo's heart sank. Now that Emperor Tianqi is no longer in the capital, if there is trouble in Liaodong, it will be a big deal. But I don't want to see Sun Chengzong.

After taking a breath, Dingguo Gong's heart relaxed.

Smiling and shaking his head, Sun Chengzong said a little helplessly: "It's a big thing, but it's not a bad thing. The weather is getting colder, and the emperor has cut off the smuggling route, and many people can't survive.

This memorial was submitted by Yang Lian, the governor of Liaodong. Since the weather started to get colder, more people have appeared in Liaodong. Many of them are herdsmen who cannot survive, and they have poured into Liaodong in small groups. Until now, small tribes have appeared in Liaodong.

They came to seek refuge, and even large tribes came to show their goodwill."

Duke Dingguo was slightly startled. He did not expect that this would happen, and his heart immediately calmed down. He smiled and said, "This is a good thing! The emperor's mighty power has spread far beyond the Great Wall!"

"Things are good, but there are other problems here! It has been a year since the restructuring, and the report just sent at the end of the year shows that the grain collected in Liaodong is enough to feed the army. This shows that the equalization reform is effective, but there is such an influx of people all at once.

With so many people, resettling them is a big problem!" Sun Chengzong rubbed his forehead, a little helpless on his face. No one surrendered, and they were expecting people to surrender, but some people surrendered, and resettlement became a problem again.

At the beginning of this year, all the farmland harvested in Liaodong were rented by the imperial court to the original military households for planting. However, some new seeds were planted, with corn and sweet potatoes accounting for a large proportion. After the original planting, many people

They are opposed to it and are even unwilling to cultivate it. Many people, including some local officials, are unsure about these unseen seeds.

However, Emperor Tianqi, who had already cultivated the seeds last year, ignored the protests of these people and insisted on planting them after promising to supply food. At the same time, he also vigorously promoted the seeds so that ordinary people could also cultivate them. After one year, Liaodong actually grew this year.

A great harvest has come, and the harvest makes people feel happy when they see it.

A few days ago, after receiving the approval of Emperor Tianqi, Liaodong started a new round of reclamation. The newly reclaimed wasteland does not need to pay taxes for three years, and can be used as one's own permanent land. The government will issue a land deed.

Sun Chengzong has long thought about promoting this new crop in the six northern provinces starting from next year. The granaries of the Ming Dynasty must be filled with grain. If he can see this day in his lifetime, Sun Chengzong feels that he will die without regrets.

.However, this is a long-term project and cannot be completed overnight.

The Ming Dynasty had a wise emperor. In Sun Chengzong's view, the Ming Dynasty was gradually getting stronger. It was becoming stronger and stronger than ever before.

Seeing Sun Chengzong in a daze, thinking that he was thinking about resettlement, Duke Dingguo smiled and said: "Although resettlement is troublesome, it is not without solutions. Call everyone here to discuss it tomorrow, and there will always be a solution. But this is a problem.

This is a good thing, we need to let the Emperor know as soon as possible."

Smiling and nodding, Sun Chengzong naturally agreed very much and said: "This matter must be reported to the emperor of course. Before that, let's come up with a way! It's easy to say no at that time, let the emperor make the decision!"

"Okay, it's getting late, let's go back! This matter can't be solved in a short time. Since it's not an urgent matter, let's put it aside for now and let's talk about it when we get back." Stretching,

Duke Dingguo looked at Sun Chuanting with a smile and said.

"Okay, let's go!" The two people looked at each other, suddenly laughed, and walked out together.

In the Nanjing Imperial Palace, Emperor Tianqi was standing at the entrance of the palace. Ever since he came to Nanjing, Emperor Tianqi seemed to like standing at the entrance of the palace. It was almost fifteen, and the moon in the sky was becoming more and more like a full moon.

"Your Majesty, it's getting late, go get some rest early!" Chen Hong stood respectfully behind Emperor Tianqi, without any expression on his face, and said respectfully.

Nodding slowly, Emperor Tianqi sighed with a complicated expression and said to Chen Hong: "Chen Hong, did you hear what Sun Chuanting just said?"

"Go back to the emperor, I heard this!" Chen Hong was slightly startled, but still nodded.

"Did I go too far? The Duke of Wei has been guarding Nanjing for generations, and I just deprived him of his military power." Emperor Tianqi's expression was a little complicated, but there was no hesitation in his tone, but he was very firm.

Chen Hong has become accustomed to Emperor Tianqi's way of speaking. Many times he tells himself these military and national affairs, not to gain his own opinion. Emperor Tianqi has his own opinions on many things and will not be influenced by someone's words.

Chen Hong also knew about the change.

Talking to himself, it was actually Emperor Tianqi who wanted to talk. The fact was that simple. Chen Hong knew it very well. However, he naturally had to answer the emperor's question and said: "Wei Guogongfu Shizhen Nanjing, that is the royal palace

Not to mention the grace of the emperor, the position of military minister given by the emperor to Wei Guogong is already rare!"

"It would be most unfair to Duke Wei if the emperor made the remaining ministers of military aircraft. Duke Wei also knew in his heart that the minister of military aircraft was very powerful. If he still controlled the military power in Nanjing, it would be very unfair.

It was inappropriate. So when Wei Guogong handed over military power, he did not hesitate at all. Mr. Sun also said. "Chen Hong didn't want to say these words, but he knew that this was what Emperor Tianqi wanted to hear.

Nodding, Emperor Tianqi showed a look of relief on his face. I hope others can understand it! After thinking about it, Emperor Tianqi frowned and said, "Are the governors and governors of the seven southern provinces here? I'm still waiting.

Let’s meet them.”

"I haven't returned to the emperor yet. After all, some people have traveled a long way. But according to the farthest journey, it should be here in a day or two. The emperor does not need to be anxious about this matter." Chen Hong did not expect Emperor Tianqi's thinking to be so fast, but

I have been prepared for a long time, and naturally I will not let Emperor Tianqi ask.

"Okay, it's getting late, I'm going to have a rest!" Emperor Tianqi breathed a sigh of relief, and walked towards the back with a trace of comfort on his face.

Following Emperor Tianqi, Chen Hong hesitated several times, but finally said bravely: "Your Majesty, the palace in Nanjing is too deserted. Should we select some people to serve in the palace?"
