Chapter 552

Originally, as Wu Xiuwen, he was not qualified to meet Wen Tiren, the chief assistant of the cabinet. However, Wu Xiuwen is now Liu Jiajun's stay envoy in the capital. They are eager to understand Liu Jiajun's specific ideas through Wu Xiuwen's mouth.

What Liu Jiajun did now is no different from the rebellion. They are more rampant than the anti thieves in history, but they did not call on the world to start a rebellion.

Moreover, he is not like an itinerant bandit. Every time he conquers a place, he robs and massacres officials and squires on a large scale.

Even Wen Tiren, a crafty old Jianghu man, can't think of Liu Yuanqiao, an octahedral Buddha. What does he want to do.

In fact, Wen Tiren himself is not in Liu Yuanqiao. What is he thinking, but now the problem is that Liu Jiajun is often strong and has the upper hand, which makes them helpless.

If the imperial court prevailed, Liu Yuanqiao sent someone. With what he did now, Wen Tiren immediately asked someone to push them out and cut them off on the spot.

Wu Xiuwen changed into a set of four grade official clothes and went to the palace where the cabinet is located. This is a palace near the Wenhua hall on the left side of the Meridian Gate. Although the cabinet members are undergraduates from Huagai hall, Wuying hall, Wenyuan hall and Dongge respectively, the office location is not.

Wen Ti Ren saw Wu Xiuwen and said loudly, "what do you want?"

Wu Xiuwen didn't hide it either. He said, "however, I came to send a message at the order of my master. I hope the two sides can rest and make peace."

Wen Tiren said coldly, "Xiubing is reconciled. He wants Liu Yuanqiao to be beautiful."

Wu Xiuwen said: "the current situation is very unfavorable to the imperial court. Once my master cuts off the canal, I don't know how long the capital can last, a month or two. If you want to know how much grain is stored in the capital, you should know it well?"

Wen Tiren said darkly, "you think Liu buqiao can threaten the imperial court if he controls part of the canal, then he is very wrong."

Wu Xiuwen said, "it's not a threat, but to point out the facts. If the canal is blocked, the imperial court can't support it for three months."

Wen Tiren said to him, "nonsense, Liu thieves are nothing but scabies. As soon as our Imperial Army arrives, we can wipe you out completely without effort."

Wu Xiuwen said to him, "at this time, if you still insist on this, there will be nothing to say?"

Wen Tiren said to him, "what is Liu Yuanqiao's plot?"

In fact, he knew that Liu Yuanqiao could not put forward any good conditions, but he wanted to hear what the other party was up to and deal with it.

Wu Xiuwen said: "What is a conspiracy? My master has been operating in Shandong for many years. He has a good government and a harmonious people. The people live and work in peace and contentment. Everyone is called a sage. In ancient times, sages were lonely. All the people in Qilu said: if Duke Liu doesn't come out, he will live in peace. Duke Liu proposed to respect the king and fight against foreigners, the Qi people rule Qi, protect the territory and the people, and have a high degree of autonomy. The Qi people are called good. The Duke of Yue can follow the Mu family in Yunnan and be loyal to the great people Ming, fan Ping, Qilu, listen to the tune and don't listen to the propaganda! "

As soon as Wen Tiren heard what the other party said, he was very angry. What the other party said was good. In fact, he wanted to separate Shandong. He wanted to be the land overlord of Shandong. Shandong is located on the shoulder of the world. How could the imperial court let Liu Yuanqiao learn from Yunnan wooden family in Shandong?

The Mu family in Yunnan can guard here for generations. First, their ancestors made great contributions to the establishment of the state of the Ming Dynasty. Second, Yunnan is the southernmost place of fame and a wasteland. Liu Yuanqiao dares to be obsessed and lists Shandong as his territory. I'm afraid it's crazy to daydream?

Wen Tiren said coldly, "Liu Yuanqiao really has a bad intention and is rebellious."

Wu Xiuwen said, "there is no master in the world, only those who live by virtue. Since ancient times, Yao, Shun and Yu Tang, Xia, Shang, Zhou and Qin have been like this. There are many delicate rivers and mountains, and only those who live by virtue."

Wen Tiren said coldly, "it's really a wolf's ambition. When Chao tingteng comes, he will destroy you. The nine families will be ruined, leaving you a bad legacy for thousands of years."

Wu Xiuwen said to him, "this has to give the imperial court a chance to free up its hands. The current imperial court has long lost its courage and has any prestige?"

Wen Tiren said, "if this is the condition put forward by Liu Yuanqiao, I can reply without meeting the Emperor: delusion, the imperial court will send an army to destroy you. If you know the truth, you will quickly surrender and avoid the pain of thousands of cuts."

Wu Xiuwen was laughing to himself. A group of senior officials of the imperial court are thin donkeys pulling hard shit -- if they don't fall down, they dare to be so hard when the sun goes down. If their fists are so hard, they won't be so embarrassed.

When Wu Xiuwen saw the other party directly refuse him, he made a bow to the other party. He said: "This is my master's request. If the imperial court agrees, my master will immediately open the canal and allow ships to travel freely. All the rules, Xiao rules and Cao follow, have never changed. Moreover, he is willing to pay 1 million liang of tax silver to the imperial court every year, which is twice that of normal years“

This condition sounds very good, but Wen Tiren and others regard themselves as heaven and the kingdom. How can they accept the threat of domestic slaves? He said, "it's impossible."

Wu Xiuwen saw that the other party directly said his words to death. He was not angry, but made a bow, and then left.

Who knows, Wen Tiren said coldly, "what place do you think this is? Is it where you can come and go if you want? Come on! Put the traitor in prison."

Wu Xiuwen saw that the other party actually threw it into the prison. His face changed. He said, "the two countries are at war? Don't cut envoys."

Wen Tiren said coldly, "it's just a domestic slave. The imperial court will clean you up one day."

At his command, Wen Tiren had his own officers and soldiers here. He immediately arrested Wu Xiuwen and sent him to the prison.

Although Wen Tiren refused Liu Yuanqiao's request directly and strongly, although the other party only sent a message to the emperor, he refused directly without sending it to the emperor.

He knew that with the authority of the Ming court, it was impossible to accept such conditions. Once such conditions were accepted, it meant that the court did not have any authority. If the local governor general and everyone followed suit, the Ming Dynasty would be defeated. Therefore, it was absolutely impossible for such things to happen, and it was impossible to allow such things to take the lead and beat anyone who took the lead.

Wen Tiren said the conditions of the Liu family and told several other cabinet ministers that he didn't ask for their opinions, but just let them know.

Although the cabinet of Daming has only one cabinet minister, it also has the greatest power, because all the votes are planned by the prime minister.

During the Apocalypse period, Wei Zhongxian once divided the power of the cabinet, that is, the four cabinet ministers had the right to vote, but they were soon reformed. Only the first assistant was qualified to vote on the memorial in the cabinet, and the others were his assistants to help him.

Several cabinet ministers were very angry when they heard such conditions as Liu Yuanqiao. His surname was Liu, and his ambition was too great. He actually wanted to separate Shandong and expected the imperial court to admit it. Isn't it crazy?

Shandong is so important that the imperial court will send troops to attack and recapture it as soon as it takes out its hand. As for the Liu family, it is natural to copy the family and destroy the family. Liu Yuanqiao, led by Liu Yuanqiao, can't help cutting thousands of knives. He dares to dream and force the imperial court to admit the fact of their separatism with temporary military advantage.

But now the imperial court is overwhelmed by JianNu and Liu Jiajun. The two enemies are so powerful that it is difficult to clean up and deal with either one. Together, the two make the imperial court in a hurry. I don't know which one to clean up first.

JianNu ravaged the land of northern Zhili and almost captured the capital. This is an immediate crisis. The Grand Canal controlled by Liu Jiajun and cut into sections of canal transportation make it impossible for grain from the south to the north, which is also fatal.

Wu Xiuwen was right in saying that the food of the imperial court in the North was always limited and could not last long. Once the South stopped transporting to them, the North would fall into a food shortage crisis.

Therefore, after the Liu family cut off the canal, the imperial court could no longer bear it. It could only immediately find a way to dispatch some troops to attack Shandong, hoping to regain control of the canal and transport food to the north.

But now the most serious thing is that JianNu is still in the area of beizhili and surrounds the capital. If they are careless, they will capture the capital and the Ming Dynasty will perish.

Daming is going to subjugate the country. Why should we consider future problems.

Therefore, it is urgent to drive away the built slaves, and then restore the canal.

Since Liu thieves set up troops and built slaves into the frontier, Emperor Chongzhen didn't sleep well. He got up early every day to discuss with the courtiers how to deal with Liu Jiajun and built slaves.

But they never had any good plans. The army of the imperial court was so delicious that they ran away from Shang JianNu and Liu Jiajun.

Even the Tianxiong army that the imperial court thought was elite, they all fought against the JianNu army in Zhuolu area, and the other army of the imperial court, guanning iron cavalry, was tightly restrained by JianNu in Shanhai guanningjin area.

How to break the current deadlock is what they urgently need to do.

Emperor Chongzhen also felt very sad and frustrated. That is, since his ancestors built the Great Wall, they have always blocked the nomads outside the pass from the Great Wall, making it difficult for them to make inch progress.

Emperor Jiajing of that year accidentally let the Mongols invade the Great Wall pass, but he soon cleaned them up. Later, he defeated the powerful tumechuan tribe. However, it was only ten years since he ascended the throne. JianNu has invaded the Great Wall pass three times and committed massive robbery and massacre in the pass, which made him lose face and feel very frustrated.

The Great Wall is no longer an iron wall against JianNu. It is just a fence. They can break in at any time and rob inside the Great Wall. Such a miserable situation has never happened in more than 200 years of the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen has been thinking hard about good strategies to see what can be done to solve the current crisis. Although he kicked Zhang Fengyi's pit goods out of the court and appointed a more satisfactory Yang Sichang as the Minister of the Ministry of war, Yang Sichang was a newcomer and couldn't take any effective measures for a while and a half.
