"What's wrong with Aiqing Sun? Please get up quickly!"

Chongzhen is only twenty-three or four years old now, even in his later generations, and he is only twenty-five years old. He has never been able to withstand others kneeling down. In addition, he is the one he will rely on next, so Chongzhen still couldn't accept it for a while, so he put down his job and had to help him.

This scared Sun Chuanting. He thought that he was a sixth-rank chief and a criminal minister who had been separated for more than ten years without saying goodbye. How could he let His Majesty go to help him personally? He lay on the ground and did not dare to look up.

"The criminals dare not!" Sun Chuanting stood up after saying that.

This was the first time he saw Emperor Chongzhen. He was unemployed at home for many years. Seeing the bandits poisoning the village, he was helpless. To be honest, Sun Chuanting had long wanted to enter the court to invite troops to suppress the thieves.

However, he had abandoned his official position and returned home from his hometown, so why did he have the nerve to go back with a shame? He could only wait for the court to summon him. He hoped that the court would still remember him day and night.

After receiving the Chongzhen edict, Sun Chuanting didn't even have time to take his family, so he rode his horse to the capital day and night. For this day, he waited for twelve years.

Sun Chuanting was wearing a navy blue cotton coat, with sword eyebrows and fingers, and was slightly thin. He might have suffered from a cold all night, or he might have been frightened by Chongzhen. At this time, some sweat came out of his forehead.

"My dear face is full of dust. I think I have just arrived in the capital and haven't had a meal yet. It's just right, let's have a meal with me! My friend, let's add another pair of bowls and chopsticks." Emperor Chongzhen was not at all, and pointed to the stool beside him and said.

"minister……"

"It's boring for me to eat alone. I happen to have an errand to you. Let's sit down. This is my order." Seeing that Sun Chuanting was still standing restrained, Chongzhen said with a stern face.

"I obey the order."

Sun Chuanting was confused in his heart. After obeying the order, he just sat upright without moving his chopsticks.

"Don't be so restrictive. I'll call you here, I'll definitely use you, but I want to ask you two questions before that." Chongzhen didn't look at Sun Chuanting and said slowly while eating.

Although Sun Chuanting was so awesome in his later generations, Chongzhen was unsure of what he could do. If he could only win a battle, it would be far from enough for Chongzhen.

The Ming Dynasty was really not short of good generals. As for the famous generals recorded in later generations, he could easily say more than a dozen of them with his fingers.

However, these people can be the commander, but one out of ten people, but the commander must first know what the accumulated problems of the Ming Dynasty are, and secondly, how to solve them, so that they can be assured to hand over the important tasks to them, rather than just fighting and killing.

"Your Majesty asks you for a word, and I will tell you everything." Sun Chuanting bowed and stood up. He seemed to feel that what Chongzhen wanted to ask must be a big problem, otherwise he would not have summoned him from his hometown to ask.

Sun Chuanting was not from a turbulent family, but a regular Jinshi. It is no exaggeration to say that he had crossed a single-plank bridge with thousands of troops. In this era, those who could pass the Jinshi were not simple people.

"First, now the court is worried and troubled internally and externally, the national treasury is empty and there is no silver available, so how can I solve it?" Chongzhen had almost finished eating, put down his chopsticks and picked up the seaweed soup and took a sip.

Sun Chuanting did not expect that Chongzhen was asking this. If this problem is direct enough, it does not mean that it is easy to solve it.

In fact, the court has been like this now. Not that no one in the court knows what the problem is, but few people are willing to stand up.

"I want to listen to the truth. Today's affairs will be heard and heard from me. No third person will know."

Chongzhen waved his hand and drove out all the palace maids and eunuchs who served in the hall, and asked Wang Chengen to stay outside the hall.

"Your Majesty, the Ming Dynasty actually has no shortage of silver, but these silver... are not easy to take." Sun Chuanting hesitated for a moment. He knew that this was his opportunity. After hesitating for a while, he still gritted his teeth and said.

He also tried Chongzhen again. You must know that few people who dared to touch the gentry class would have a good end. He didn't want to be an unjustly dead person for no reason.

"Hahaha! Joke, this world belongs to me. He has obtained this silver, so why can't I take it?" Chongzhen laughed when he heard this. From Sun Chuanting's words, didn't Chongzhen know who he was talking about?

Sun Chuanting remained silent, but Chongzhen's words had already pointed out and coincided with him. A scholar was honored by his confidant, which made him feel a sense of knowing what he met.

"I ask you again, I am rich all over the world, why did the court fall into a dilemma of no food and grass?" Chongzhen stared at Sun Chuanting and said.

"The taxes collected in various places are decreasing year by year, and the imperial court is using troops everywhere, so the food and grass are naturally tight." Sun Chuanting's answer this time was very straightforward.

"Why is the tax decreasing year by year?"

"It's because the people have no land to cultivate."

"Why can the people have no land to cultivate?"

"The land has long fallen into the hands of the gentry, and the soldiers in the guards have become slaves of the gentry, the system of garrison has been destroyed in name only!"

"In this way, can there be a countermeasure?" Chongzhen pressed step by step with a cold face.

"Measure the land, clear the land, and pay the money and grain." Sun Chuanting swallowed and replied.

"Very good. You should be a wise man if you can say this, but I don't believe that you are the only one in the world who understands the truth!"

"Your Majesty, in this way, the world will be in chaos."

"The world is in chaos!" Chongzhen stood up and said with a high voice!

Since ancient times, the change of the imperial court has been due to land annexation, and emperors are often the core of vested interest groups. How many emperors are willing to think about the problem from the standpoint of the people?

But he is different. He comes from later generations, so he naturally knows what it means to be destroyed and not established.

Sun Chuanting was cleverly yelled by Chongzhen's loud voice, but at the same time, he felt inexplicably excited. His intuition told him that over the past ten years of ups and downs, he might really be in the future.

"I plan to appoint you as the admiral of the Beijing camp, strictly investigate problems such as empty salary in the Beijing camp, corruption and other issues, and rectify the military affairs of the Beijing camp for me." Chongzhen turned his back and looked at the Ming Dynasty territory map on the wall and said in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty... How can I bear this great responsibility, Your Majesty think twice!" Sun Chuanting knelt down on the ground and bowed.

The Beijing camp was the last barrier for the emperor to defend the capital. It was always controlled by nobles who lived with the country. The ones who had served as the emperors most trusted were these hereditary nobles.

How can the emperor in front of him not surprise him if he wants to hand over such an important army to such an unknown little person?

What surprised him even more was Chongzhen's next words.

"As far as I know, you have been studying military books hard for the past ten years, have you read General Qi's "Ji Xiao New Book"?" Chongzhen turned around and walked to the imperial desk and sat down.

"I... I have indeed read some military books frequently over the years, but I have no actual experience in commanding troops. I hope Your Majesty think twice!"

Sun Chuanting felt that his heart was beating hard. Since he was dissatisfied with Wei Zhongxian's abuse of power and returned home, Sun Chuanting felt that it was difficult to save the Ming Dynasty court, which was difficult to return, and began to study various military books at home.

But he has never told outsiders about these things, so how did the Majesty in front of him know?

Sun Chuanting became more and more frightened the more he thought about it. He thought to himself that His Majesty has not abolished the factory guards now? Otherwise, how would he explain the matter of quietly touching the military books at home?

"Then don't refuse anymore. I trust you. You just need to do your best to do your best to do your business for me. If something happens, I will take care of you!" Chongzhen's tone was relieved and he looked at Sun Chuanting with appreciation.

Sun Chuanting was filled with mixed feelings at this moment. He was surprised by the courage of the person in front of him and was grateful for this trust. The person in front of him who understood his ambitions is His Majesty now!

"My name Sun Chuanting must do all his loyalty and wisdom to do this for Your Majesty. If my work is not good, I am willing to apologize for death!" Sun Chuanting said in a deep voice as if he was injected with chicken blood.

After so many years, he remembered that the last time he was so excited was the day when the imperial examinations were released. It seemed that he had been ups and downs for more than ten years, and his cold blood suddenly boiled.

"Sun Aiqing is so serious, how can you die so easily? Let's go, follow me out of the palace to the Beijing camp to take a look. Speaking of which, I have entered the Forbidden City and have never been out!" Chongzhen said with great interest.

"Yes, I... obey the order." Sun Chuanting didn't recall the words of Chongzhen for a while. What does it mean to make him die so easily? Is this sentence meaning worse than death or not to let him die?

...

Xishan Camp is about twenty miles away from the capital, and the Jingying Army, the most elite unit known as the Ming Dynasty, is stationed here.

Jingying is also known as the Three Daying, which is a collective name for the Five Military Camps, Three Thousand Camps, and Shenji Camp. During the period of Chengzu, there were 72 Guards and more than 300,000 people.

However, since Tumu Fort, all the elite troops in the Beijing camp were lost, and the court gradually began to rely on the border army and recruitment system. Now, in addition to the tens of thousands of troops and horses that were out of the battle, the Beijing camp was only more than 50,000 young and old, which was only open.

Even so, for more than two hundred years, it has developed like a small town, with wine shops and shops everywhere, and you can see groups of three or two soldiers walking back and forth on the street.

Chongzhen sat in the carriage, occasionally lifting the curtains and looking around, without saying a word. Wang Chengen and Sun Chuanting, who were sitting on the horse, were unhappy when they saw Chongzhen's face unhappy, and they were not afraid to breathe.

There were more than a dozen carriages in front, back and forth, and not many people accompanied him, all of whom were great Han generals from the Jinyiwei.

Due to the hasty trip, Chongzhen did not bring too many people. This place is in the hinterland of the capital, and with hundreds of large and round Jinyiwei accompanying him, he did not think there was any danger.

When he went to the Beijing camp, Chongzhen did not notify the cabinet ministers or the governor's office of the Five Army. He just wanted to see what the army leaning against the barrier in the capital usually looked like.

Around the hour of the year, the convoy finally arrived at Xishan Camp, and several Beijing soldiers at the gate blocked their way.

Before the Jinyiwei people could negotiate, Wang Chengen got off the car and showed off a hand sign, and pointed to Chongzhen's car. The big-headed soldiers immediately knelt on the ground in panic.

Chongzhen ignored it and directly ordered the convoy to enter the camp.

The camp was in a mess, some slept in their tents, some were playing cards, and some were wearing shabby military uniforms and were washing clothes.

Soldiers in groups of three or three stopped in the camp and looked at Chongzhen's convoy. They didn't know which big man was coming, but since the Han general was there, they should at least be a father-in-law with real power.

"Where is Zhang Guangzu, the uncle of Pengcheng?" Wang Chengen looked at Chongzhen's eyes and looked like he was almost breathing fire. He didn't have a good look after getting off the car. This camp had no appearance at all, and even Wang Chengen could not stand it.

"Return... back to my father-in-law's words, I seem to have gone to the immortal residence." A smart soldier in the Beijing camp knelt on the ground and whispered.

It’s not because he is brave. It’s really the one sitting in the car that makes him frightened. The father-in-law in the python suit is already scary enough. Who else can be sitting in the car?

"Who can still manage the affairs in the camp? I told Uncle Peng Cheng that if I can't see him within two quarters of an hour, I'll apologize!"
