Back to the Ming Dynasty to be a tyrant

But the problem is that there is no such a big cow in the Ming Dynasty right now.

Of course, it cannot be said that there is no such thing. At least Shi Fenglai, who turned his head to study the ram theory, must be qualified for the great profession of diplomat.

But Shi Fenglai's age is there, and if he gets out to become a diplomat, even the Chongzhen Emperor who has no conscience can't bear it.

But after thinking about it, Emperor Chongzhen set his sights on Li Chengyan.

After picking up the wine glass again and persuading Li Chengyan and the other three to drink, Emperor Chongzhen said, "If Brother Li is an envoy to the Netherlands, what should we do?"

Li Chengyan was taken aback: "Holland?"

Emperor Chongzhen smiled and said: "The news came yesterday that His Majesty was furious because Honan Franji falsely called Honan, and ordered the name to be changed to Holland."

Li Chengyan nodded and said: "This is what it should mean. Your Majesty looks at the world, and naturally he will not allow those foreign barbarians to call Chinese place names in vain."

Unknowingly, Emperor Chongzhen who was flattered was naturally very pleased, and said with a smile, "Brother Li hasn't answered Xiao Ke's question yet?"

Li Chengyan shook his head and said: "I can't say it, I can't say it. Your Majesty has a decree that all soldiers and civilians benefit from illness, and no one is allowed to speak."

Emperor Chongzhen said disapprovingly: "How do you come up with the idea? Today is just me waiting for some drinks, so naturally it has nothing to do with His Majesty's will."

Hearing this, Li Chengyan was no longer pretentious, but asked directly: "Then Mr. Li, do you know why Su and Zhang can stir up the world by agitating their lips and tongues? Is it just relying on a three-inch tongue?"

Seeing Emperor Chongzhen's humbly asking for advice, Li Chengyan was very happy, and he no longer shut up, but went on to say: "Su Qinpei's seal of the six countries to resist Qin is because Qin is strong and the six countries are weak; Zhang Yilianheng Breaking vertical is also because Qin is strong and the Six Kingdoms are weak.

If Qin is not strong and is the same as the Six Kingdoms, neither Su nor Zhang can use their abilities, but Sun and Pang have a chance to show their talents.

The current situation is actually not far from it.

Your Majesty is holy and wise, his virtue is given to the common people and he regards the world as a tiger. He is as far away as Qin Huang and Han Wu. My great Ming can be compared to Qin, and my great Ming can be compared to the six kingdoms.

What Ming Dynasty needs today is not Su Qin, but Zhang Yi, or Wang Xuance.

With Daming's naval fleet behind, if the Dutch barbarians follow, they will cede the land to me, and the land they ceded will become the base of our Daming naval fleet.

If the Dutch barbarians don't follow suit, my Ming Dynasty can naturally contact other barbarians oppressed by the Netherlands nearby, and support them in destroying the Netherlands with the benefits of cutting the land of the Netherlands. The benefits are also indispensable to me, Da Ming.

As for the barbarians who destroyed the Netherlands, it was because of my Da Ming’s support that they can naturally be driven by my Da Ming. Once there is a second heart, my Da Ming navy base has been completed, and it can be destroyed. "

After speaking, Li Chengyan took a sip from his wine glass and said with a smile, "What do you think, Mr. Li?"

Emperor Chongzhen clapped his hands and said, "That's right, what brother Li said is very true. Could it be that what brother Li learned is the art of vertical and horizontal?"

Li Chengyan said: "That's right. Today's emperor encourages theories of a hundred schools of thought, except that all students are not allowed to make suggestions, and the rest can't help it. It made Li see the usefulness of vertical and horizontal techniques.

As the saying goes, learning literary and martial arts, goods and the emperor's family, Li is planning to go to the capital after the beginning of spring to participate in this year's spring festival. "

Emperor Chongzhen smiled, held up his wine glass and said, "Then I wish brother Li a victory first! Let's have a drink together!"

Sun Xiyuan, who was so transparent, and Zhou Hongchang, who hadn't spoken much until now, raised their glasses with Li Chengyan and said, "Drink together!"

Emperor Chongzhen suddenly asked a question, "According to Brother Li, how should the land of Holland be governed?"

Li Chengyan thought it over and said: "If it is under my direct management, I am afraid that there will be more friction with those barbarians around me, and it will involve my Da Ming's troops and energy.

In my opinion, it is better to follow the rule of the founding king of Sai, and sit back and watch the king of Sai fight with him.

It's just a pity that the land that my Ming has worked so hard to conquer, but I have to entrust it to the King of Sai, it is not perfect enough. "

Emperor Chongzhen said with a smile: "So what if you divide it into the king of Sai? Why is it not perfect? ​​Isn't the land of Xinming Island generally granted to the vassal kings?"

Li Chengyan shook his head and said: "How is the land of Xinming Island the same as the land of the Netherlands? The land of Xinming Island was completely migrated by the people of our Ming Dynasty. I can't afford any waves.

The land of the Netherlands is different. Even if I moved to the Ming Dynasty, how can I ensure that other barbarians will not go there?

In addition, the king of Sai who was enfeoffed in the past will inevitably fight with the barbarians around him. In the early days, it is no problem because he has to rely on my support from Ming Dynasty, but what happens when the king of Sai grows stronger?The lesson from King Ning is not far away, so don't be careless. "

Emperor Chongzhen still didn't take it seriously and said: "There is still an order to extend grace, so why worry?"

Li Chengyan still shook his head: "The Tweeting Order can be used on Xinming Island, but it cannot be used on the land of the Netherlands. Otherwise, the surrounding barbarians will not be pacified, but the Netherlands will be torn apart. In the end, it will be the people of Ming Dynasty who will be hurt. do not like."

Although this issue has already been discussed with the court and the military government, and he is probably a little confident in his heart, Emperor Chongzhen still wants to hear Li Chengyan's opinion: "Then according to Brother Li's opinion?"

Li Chengyan said: "There is no good way for Li, I can only say that we can only take one step at a time. Unless my Ming warship can be faster and stronger than it is now, it will be enough to suppress the king of Sai who was entrusted to the Netherlands."

Emperor Chongzhen smiled and said, "What's so difficult about this? Although Fuchuan is strong, isn't our Daming Royal Academy always improving? In my opinion, the military government will definitely not agree to give the kings of Sai the latest and greatest Stronger fleets, but will only give them some warships not weaker than the barbarians."

Chapter 539 Three Problems

Drinking wine, listening to music, watching the snow falling outside the window, this is a kind of artistic conception, which is far from comparable to going to Yicui Building in Yihong Courtyard.

Are you a literati after all?

After drinking a few cups together again, Emperor Chongzhen bid farewell to Li Chengyan and others.

It was only after the figure of Emperor Chongzhen completely disappeared from Zuixian Tower, and many people in the lobby on the first floor and the seats on the second floor of Zuixian Tower chose to leave, that Li Chengyan slowly picked up his wine glass and said: "Both, together drink!"

Sun Xiyuan asked curiously, "Brother Li, why does he look like this?"

It's no wonder that Sun Xiyuan was curious, the current Li Chengyan couldn't tell that he was still pointing the country just now, but he was in a cold sweat, which looked a little scary.

Li Chengyan said: "Mr. Li Xin Li just now, do you really think that he is an ordinary son? I will know whether my Zongheng family succeeds or fails in the next few days."

Zhou Hongchang asked doubtfully, "Could it be that there is something else going on here?"

Li Chengyan shook his head and said: "Anyway, it's too expensive, you two brothers don't ask any more, and I won't tell you if you ask."

Li Chengyan felt that he did not have the guts to study the identity of Mr. Li Yan.

When Emperor Chongzhen scolded Lao Tongsheng to death in Nanjing, Li Bangyan happened to watch the whole process from the side.

This cursing Mr. Li swaggered to the restaurant to drink. When Ying Tianfu, who wanted to intervene, was persuaded to leave by the shopkeeper of the Zuixianlou, Li Chengyan happened to see some of them.

Even Wei Guogong's mansion has never had such a big man, so Li Chengyan naturally intended to make friends with him.

But with the requirement of putting safety first and avoiding getting into trouble, Li Chengyan still sent someone to inquire about this Mr. Li.

It's just that no matter how much I send people to investigate, I can't find the root of Mr. Li, as if he appeared in Jinling City out of thin air, and then disappeared out of thin air, and all the clues clearly point to an inconspicuous official in Henan. family.

The problem is that these clues are too clear, which is very abnormal-as if someone deliberately put these clues there for others to investigate.

Thinking about the fact that after Emperor Chongzhen left Nanjing, there was no news of this Mr. Li, and the identity of this Mr. Li Xin Li is a little bit ready to be revealed.

It was precisely because of this that after Emperor Chongzhen arrived at the Zuixian Tower, Li Chengyan, who had been secretly remembering it in his heart, said those words on purpose, hoping to get the attention of this Mr. Li.

Later, Emperor Chongzhen turned a blind eye to the ban not allowing all students to speak out, which made Li Chengyan more affirmed his guess in his heart-it is not that there are people who dare to take the will of Emperor Chongzhen as a matter of course, but those have already become The dead bones in the tomb.

Li Chengyan, who flattered the emperor a few times, felt that he should take a big gamble.
