    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's deep trust in Emperor Tianqi was unparalleled by anyone in the court.  People like him entered the military aircraft office just because Emperor Tianqi wanted to stabilize people's hearts. The one who can really make the decision is Sun Chengzong.  ??Or perhaps what Sun Chengzong meant was what Emperor Tianqi meant, and Duke Dingguo saw this very clearly.  Since the gradual decline of Wu Xun, the imperial court has been dominated by civilian officials, and major military and political affairs have been entrusted to civilian hands.  Military generals are also subject to the supervision of civilian officials. Naturally, these Dingguo Dukes do not want to see this, but they have no choice.  The emperors of the Ming Dynasty all competed with civil servants for power, and this was how Dongchang and Jinyiwei had the exclusive power.  Looking back at the entire era, there are countless examples of this.  Those dictatorial eunuchs are not so much against the civil officials as they are because the emperor needs them to be against the civil officials.  The political struggle is very deep, and it is impossible to say clearly what is right or wrong.  However, Duke Dingguo saw hope in Emperor Tianqi. Although Emperor Tianqi also valued Jinyiwei and Dongchang, that 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 and separation of civil and military forces were all extremely wise measures.  In Duke Dingguo's view, Emperor Tianqi's approach was quite good in order to change Wu Xun's low status.  After seeing hope, Duke Ding 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 is a very talented person and one of the few civil servants who has no discrimination against military commanders.  "Sir, this is the brochure 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 and bowed respectfully to the two people.  Sun Chengzong was slightly startled. It was not a strange thing for him to receive a discount at this time.  Ming Dynasty is so big.  There are countless memorials every day, and there will be memorials at any time.  However, all the information that can be delivered to him at this time is urgent, and the things must be extremely important.  Glancing at Duke Dingguo on one side, Sun Chengzong nodded slowly to the clerk and said expressionlessly: "Bring it over!" "Yes, sir!" The clerk respectfully delivered the memorial to Sun Chengzong.  Then he bowed and retreated.  After taking the memorial, Sun Chengzong couldn't wait to read it. Since the last war, Northern Xinjiang has been very stable.  Whether they were Jian slaves or Mongol Tatars, they all became honest for a while.  However, Sun Chengzong also knew very well that this was just an appearance.  The Jiannu and the Mongolian Tatars were just recuperating.  Now there is no ability to harass Daming at all.  What's more, Liaodong now has strong troops and horses. It would be a blessing not to cause trouble for them.  The Ming Dynasty is currently reforming its military system. Although some people suggested to Emperor Tianqi to take this opportunity to conquer the north and build slaves.  However, all such proposals were rejected by Emperor Tianqi. As the saying goes, to strike with iron, you need to be strong yourself.  Emperor Tianqi was now bent on implementing reforms at home.  All the energy was concentrated on the country, and for a while it was hard 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?" Just seeing Sun Chengzong's solemn expression, 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.  However, seeing Sun Chengzong breathe a sigh of relief, Duke Ding Guo's heart was relieved.  ??Smiled and shook his head.  Sun Chengzong said with a little helplessness: "It is a big thing, but it is not a bad thing. The weather is getting colder, and the emperor has cut off the smuggling route, and many people cannot survive. This memorial is from Liaodong  According to Governor Yang Lian, since the weather started to get colder, more people have appeared in Liaodong. Many of them are herdsmen who cannot survive, and now small tribes have come to seek refuge in Liaodong.  The big tribe came to express their goodwill." Duke Ding was slightly startled. He didn't expect that this would happen, and he suddenly felt at ease.  He smiled and said: "This is a good thing! The Emperor's brilliant power has spread far beyond the Great Wall!" "This is a good thing, but there are also other problems here! It has been a year since the restructuring, and the report just sent at the end of the year,  The grain collected in Liaodong is enough to feed the army. This shows that the equalization reform is effective, but the influx of so many people at once is a big problem!" Sun Chengzong rubbed his forehead with a little helplessness on his face.  No one surrendered, and we expected people to surrender. Some people surrendered, and resettlement became a problem again.  At the beginning of this year, all the farmland collected in Liaodong was leased by the imperial court to the original military households for farming.  However, some new seeds were planted, with corn and sweet potatoes accounting for a large proportion.  Originally planted?After that, many people opposed and were even unwilling to farm.  Many people, including some local officials, were unsure about these unseen seeds.  However, Emperor Tianqi, who had cultivated the seeds last year, ignored the protests of these people and planted them forcefully after promising to supply food.  At the same time, they also promoted it vigorously to let ordinary people also farm.  After a year, Liaodong actually had a big harvest this year, which makes people feel happy to see it.  A few days ago, after receiving the approval of Emperor Tianqi, Liaodong began 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, and the government will issue a title deed.  Sun Chengzong has long thought about promoting this new crop in the six northern provinces starting next year.  The granaries of the Ming Dynasty must be filled with food. If he could see this day in his lifetime, Sun Chengzong felt that he would die without regrets.  However, this is a long-term project and cannot be completed overnight.  The Ming Dynasty had a wise emperor. According to Sun Chengzong, the Ming Dynasty was gradually becoming stronger.  Getting 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  This is a good thing. We need to let the Emperor know as soon as possible." Sun Chengzong smiled and nodded. Naturally, he agreed very much and said: "This matter must be reported to the Emperor. We should come up with a way before that!  It's time to say no, let the emperor make the decision! " "Well, it's getting late, let's go back! This matter cannot be solved in a short time. Since it is not an urgent matter, let's put it aside for now.  , let¡¯s talk about it when we get back.¡± After stretching, Duke Ding looked at Sun Chuanting 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 events, not to win his own opinion.  Emperor Tianqi had his own opinions on many things and would not change them just because of someone's words. Chen Hong also knew this.  Tell yourself, it is actually Emperor Tianqi who wants to talk. The fact is that simple, Chen Hong is very clear.  However, he naturally had to answer the emperor's question, saying: "Wei Guogong's palace is in Nanjing. That is the royal grace. Not to mention the thunder and rain are the emperor's favor, just the position of the military minister given by the emperor to Wei Guogong, that is already  It¡¯s rare!¡± ¡°It would be the most unfair to Duke Wei if the emperor made the remaining ministers of military aircraft. Wei Guogong also knew in his heart that the minister of military aircraft was very powerful. If he still controlled Nanjing,  Military power is very inappropriate. Therefore, when Wei Guogong handed over military power, Master 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 too!  After thinking about it, Emperor Tianqi frowned and said, "Have the governors and governors of the seven southern provinces arrived? I'm still waiting to see them." "Back to the emperor, not yet. After all, some people have traveled a long way. But according to the rules  The farthest journey should be over in a day or two, so the emperor does not need to be impatient about this matter." Chen Hong did not expect Emperor Tianqi's thinking to be so fast, but he was already prepared, so he would 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?" Chen Hong's words  It was very subtle, but how could Emperor Tianqi not understand it?  Naturally, when choosing a person, you would not choose an eunuch, to put it mildly.The palace maids actually wanted to choose some women for Emperor Tianqi.
