Daming Crazy Emperor

Chapter 80
On this day, after Taichang received Cao Wenzhao and Cao Bianjiao, he suddenly issued a bunch of imperial edicts.

For example, the Shenwu Battalion of the cavalry guards was formed, Cao Wenzhao was promoted as the commander-in-chief of the Shenwu Battalion, and Cao Bianjiao was promoted as the deputy commander-in-chief of the Shenwu Battalion.

The pro-military is directly under the emperor, and this courtier has no right to intervene, so there is no problem in implementing this imperial decree.

However, there were major problems with the other imperial edicts.

For example, all guards under Shanxi Dusi, Shanxi Xingdusi, Shaanxi Dusi, Shaanxi Xingdusi, Henan Dusi, Hebei Dusi, Sichuan Dusi, and Sichuan Xingdusi were ordered to select five hundred young and strong riders each to join the Shenwu camp in Beijing.

For another example, the Shanxi Dusi, Shanxi Xingdusi, Shanxi Dusi, and Shaanxi Xingdusi all herding offices immediately mobilized war horses, tens of thousands, and sent them to the Shenwu camp in the capital.

Another example is that Sichuan, Huguang, Jiangxi, and Fujian have halved the tea tax this year. Officials from all over the country are urging tea farmers to resume tea production as soon as possible, and plan to reopen all tea-horse exchanges in Shanxi, Shaanxi, and Sichuan in exchange for war horses for Shenwuying.

These imperial edicts are not just issued by him in various places. To be precise, the imperial edicts issued by him cannot be called imperial edicts, but can only be called Zhongzhi.

That is to say, if the central decree is sent out, it is very likely that it will be shelved if it encounters an official or an official backed by a crony, as if it had not been received!
The imperial decree must be deliberated by the cabinet, signed and confirmed by more than one cabinet scholar, and then issued to the capital or local yamen to be called the real imperial decree. Only this is approved by the imperial court, and all officials must implement it.

As a result, after the decrees he issued were sent to the cabinet, they were all blocked, and no cabinet scholar was willing to sign and approve the distribution!
Because the Donglin Party has been keenly aware that the emperor wants to restore the strength of the imperial army and the pro-army, and suppress them by force.

This kind of thing, the civil service group has been guarding against it.

It's not like they don't know what the emperor did in Jinling City. If the emperor is allowed to act unscrupulously and "act wildly", then it's okay!

So, they disagree.

Just kidding, once the cavalry guards of the [-] Shenwu Battalion are formed, coupled with the current strength of the Forbidden Army and the Beijing Battalion, even the Liaodong Frontier Army will not be able to do it. At that time, the emperor will not be the same as in Jinling City, pinching them In your hand, kill as you want!

Taichang was furious when he received the news.

These civil servants are simply shameless. No wonder it has been almost a hundred years since the Civil Fort Change, and the imperial guards and pro-army still haven't recovered a bit of strength.

It is estimated that when the emperors after Yingzong wanted to expand the imperial guards and pro-army, they encountered the obstruction of the civil official group!

Hmph, you bastards, do you really think I can't cure you?

In the early morning of the next day, the ceremonial officer of Honglu Temple was about to announce the start of the performance as usual, but Taichang waved his hand to order him to back down, and then asked coldly while staring at the few Donglin university scholars in the cabinet. : "Why didn't the decree I made yesterday not be issued?"

why?
Everyone knows this well.

Ye Xianggao, the chief assistant of the cabinet, did not say anything, neither did Han Yan, the second assistant of the cabinet, and Liu Yixiu, the cabinet scholar.

Liu Zongzhou, Zuoqian capital censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate coughed, walked out of the train quickly, knelt in the middle of the royal road and said loudly: "Your Majesty, at this moment when the imperial court is struggling, the relief funds in the northwest and the rations and salaries of the Liaodong frontier army are all available. If you can’t get it all together, you can’t be so aggressive!”

Militarism?

Hearing this, Tai Chang couldn't help frowning.

He really didn't expect that Donglin would push Liu Zongzhou to offend Yan Zhijian!

Liu Zongzhou and Huang Daozhou are the two most famous mouthpieces in Donglin. These two guys are famous for being able to speak, dare to speak, and dare to be tough with the emperor, which is the so-called straight admonition.

They are notoriously not afraid of court rods, not afraid of death, even if you beat them to death, they dare to say it!
These two guys made Chongzhen so angry in history, they scolded Liu Zongzhou for "contempt for the imperial court, arrogant and world-weary, so unrestrained!" Huang Daozhou was reprimanded by Chongzhen for "only a sycophant's knowledge in his life!"

It seems that Huang Daozhou hasn't debuted yet, so Donglin released Liu Zongzhou.

Hmph, so what about talking.

Taichang said coldly: "Arbitrarily aggressive? Why don't you say that Jiannu is aggressive? They already have [-] cavalry! What do you mean, Jiannu can have them, but I can't have them? We can only be suppressed by Jiannu. yes?"

Uh, this.

Liu Zongzhou deserves to be a talker. Under such an unreasonable situation, he quickly reacted and said confidently: "Jiannu is good at riding and shooting, and has a lot of herding horses. In addition, they have robbed us of many war horses, so, Their cavalry didn't cost much money at all. We are different, fifty thousand cavalry, tens of millions of taels of silver, emperor, have you ever thought that the imperial court can't afford such a large expenditure at all, you want to let the Northwest Did the victims and the Liaodong Frontier Army all starve to death?"

Hmph, you still have the face to say, can you get money to save the disaster victims in the Northwest and the Liaodong frontier army?
Taichang said disdainfully: "I will pay for this money myself, you don't need to pay a penny!"

Unexpectedly, Liu Zongzhou ignored it and said: "Your Majesty, the money from the inner treasury should also be used for disaster relief and to pay the food and salaries of the frontier troops. You can't spend all the money in the inner treasury on wasting money and food for your own selfishness." On the cavalry!"

absurd!

Taichang said angrily: "The first emperor gave all the money in the inner treasury to King Fu, why didn't any of you say anything?"

Uh, this.

Liu Zongzhou simply quibbled: "In short, attacking the enemy's strengths with our own weaknesses is not the way to win. The cavalry we have hastily formed can't be the opponent of the Jiannu cavalry. I don't agree with such a waste of money and food. "

Whoops, you rotten scholar, have you taught me how to fight?

Taichang snorted coldly: "You still know the art of war? Why haven't I heard of it? How about you go to Liaodong and try fighting Jiannu?"

I!
Liu Zongzhou was a little speechless.

It's not that he's afraid of death, the question is, he really doesn't know the art of war, why go to Liaodong, is he ashamed of going to Jiannu?

Yuan Yingtai has already tried it, and he was beaten like a dog!

Anyone who claims to be a clean stream values ​​face more than life. It is impossible for them to do such a thing that damages face.

He was stunned into silence, and Taichang didn't bother to talk anymore.

Hmph, you bastards, wait for me.

Seeing this, Taichang immediately got up and scolded: "I really never thought that you people who keep saying that you are for the country and the people would actually hinder my military expansion and preparations for your own selfishness. Are you trying to help build slaves? Say one thing and do another." Is this the way for you to be ministers, only care about your own selfishness, regardless of the danger of Ming Dynasty? Go back and think about it carefully, and retreat from the court!"

After speaking, he just walked away like this.

Will Dong Lin succumb to this?

Of course not, since they dare to withhold the central purpose, they naturally have something to rely on.

Because the Qi, Chu, and Zhejiang parties are all finished at this moment, the entire court, and even the place are basically under their control, and even the Liaodong frontier army is under the control of their "own man" Sun Chengzong.

Therefore, they are not afraid at all!
So what about the emperor, what can he do to them?
Even if the current emperor is like the first emperor, so what if he withdraws the cabinet scholars, the six ministers, and the ministers of the court, the emperor's will will still not come out of the capital!
This is their reliance, and they are not afraid of another national struggle, and they will definitely not be the ones who lose in the end!
Does Taichang want to have another national battle?

of course not.

He's not that stupid, he messed up his own way and let Jiannu benefit.

This morning, the reason why he behaved like this was not because he foolishly thought that a few words could make Dong Lin submit, and it was not because he wanted to set off a national dispute.

He just sent out a signal, telling Wei Zhongxian that Donglin has offended me, and you can take the opportunity to make a move.

As for why he didn't take the initiative to find Wei Zhongxian, this is a primary and secondary issue, he can't let Wei Zhongxian think that he is asking him to do something.

Wei Zhongxian is a typical guy who pushes his nose and face, and is insatiable. If he takes the initiative to find Wei Zhongxian, Wei Zhongxian will definitely take the opportunity to fly to the sky.

Just like his precious son Tianqi, Wei Zhongxian was also used in history, and the result?

Tianqi couldn't tell the priority, every time, he said, oh, Mr. Wei, Donglin bullied me, you help me to deal with them.

The result is good, Wei Zhongxian became nine thousand years old directly, and the world only knew that there was nine thousand years old, but did not know that there was an emperor!
Can he be like Tianqi, playing with wood in the palace all day long, and letting Wei Zhongxian take care of everything?

Then he, the emperor, is still a fart!
Therefore, you have to be careful when using Wei Zhongxian, a mad dog, and you can't let this guy's tail go up to the sky.

Sure enough, as soon as he returned to the imperial study and sat down, the little eunuch at the door sang loudly: "Superintendent of Rituals holds the pen, Admiral of the East Factory, Eunuch Wei asks to see you."

Hey, this guy is quite well informed.
