Wanli 1592

Chapter 31 Zhu Yijun's Surprise
To be honest, sometimes Zhu Yijun himself thought it was ridiculous, because those ministers were living a much better life than himself, eating delicacies from mountains and seas, wearing silk and satin, and taking concubines as casually as buying vegetables. A gift during the New Year's Eve is worth [-] silver. Did the Ming Dynasty give these bastards such a high salary?Why don't I know? !

They built their home into a palace in the sky, but they wanted me, the emperor, to live in a low and cold place. They bought things for their wives and concubines that cost tens of thousands to 10 taels of silver, and I wanted to give them to my concubine Buying some rouge and gouache is sprayed by them, asking to save the inner palace expenses... Isn't the emperor's expenses and the concubine's expenses the ancestral system?You use the ancestral system to restrict me, but you don't talk about the ancestral system when it comes to yourself? !
There is a good saying that only state officials are allowed to set fires and the people are not allowed to light lamps, but Zhu Yijun feels that the current situation is that only state officials are allowed to set fires and the emperor is not allowed to light lamps, and when something goes wrong, everyone scolds Emperor Zhu. It is to respond in time to ask them to go to disaster relief work, and to pay as much money as possible. The internal treasury left to me by Jiajing's grandfather, Longqing, and father is about to be emptied! ! !
But what about things?Did it work?Should I scold the emperor or scold the emperor? Is there any reason in this world that I should be blamed for the scandal they did?
As a 30-year-old man and a mature emperor, after Zhu Yijun truly felt his situation, the strong sense of shame made him more irritable and loathed those courtiers, but he couldn't think Not knowing how to control those courtiers, he can only express his dissatisfaction by passively retreating. He doesn't trust eunuchs very much. After experiencing Feng Bao's incident, he knows that eunuchs can also collude with foreign ministers, so eunuchs can't use.

Who else could he trust?Who can help me vent my anger?He doesn't have the means of Grandpa Jiajing, nor the open-mindedness of Longqing's father. He has strong self-esteem and dissatisfaction. He has been suppressed, restricted, sprayed and hated for a long time. But no one can move!
In the end, he can only express his dissatisfaction in the form of slack in politics, use high-handed means to maintain his authority, and don't be the puppet emperor of the civil society, and don't be a backer.

Poor emperor, without the power of personnel and finances, he can only show his prestige in front of a group of eunuchs and women...

Thinking about his situation, Zhu Yijun also calmed down, and he smiled bitterly, feeling that it was not worthwhile for him to compete with an imperial physician, so he sat down and waved his hand: "Forget it, don't kill him, drive him away Just go out, Zhang Cheng, is there any memorial from the cabinet, is there a military report?"

The eunuch Zhang Cheng replied tremblingly: "Back to Your Majesty, there was a batch of papers from the cabinet before noon. Your Majesty said that the military report will be transmitted directly, but there is no news yet. Then, His Majesty needs to read the papers from the cabinet and the Ministry of War." ?"

Zhu Yijun nodded: "Bring me the notebook."

"Of order." Zhang Cheng bowed his head meekly, and then quickly walked out to ask someone to get the booklet. Zhu Yijun drank a bowl of tea for a while, and Zhang Cheng came forward with a vermilion lacquered wooden box, offering it respectfully with both hands. , Zhu Yijun picked out one of them, opened it, and immediately frowned—the minister Mei Guozhen, the imperial censor of Zhejiang Province, please reply to Li Chengliangshu, the former Liaodong General Soldier.

As for other requests, as long as they are justified, Zhu Yijun doesn't care much about them, but the appointment of Li Chengliang made Zhu Yijun hesitate. Li Chengliang is not young this year, over 60. He has guarded Liaodong for more than ten years, and he has made great contributions. He is very good at fighting, but not long ago, Li Chengliang was found out about a package of things, he was just dismissed, and now he is about to be activated again. How can he be called the emperor?
Mei Guozhen... hum!
Zhu Yijun's face was covered with a sneer, this is probably another bastard who was paid for his work!Also invite the supervising army?That's fine, if you want to be a pawn, I'll pawn it to you. Anyway, it's you literati who bite dogs, so stay away from me and I'll be cleaner!
Forget it for Li Chengliang, he can't use it. Zhang Juzheng's dog leg earlier, according to Jinyiwei's news, this guy has caused many people in Liaodong. Just dismissed from office and going to be reinstated, isn't it a slap in the face?This old guy is so anxious to get back up, could it be that there is really something he dare not say?So break it!
Then, Zhu Yijun opened the account of Zhao Zhigao, the chief assistant of the acting cabinet.

Wang Jiaping, the former chief assistant, completely angered Zhu Yijun because he brought up the matter of establishing the crown prince again more than ten days ago. Zhu Yijun angrily decreed to dismiss Wang Jiaping and drive him back to his original place. It was because of this incident that Zhao Zhigao became the acting chief assistant of the cabinet. Since the first assistant here had just left and the news of the rebellion came from the northwest, the ministers didn't care about the government's promotion of the first assistant, and directly asked the second assistant Zhao Zhigao to act as the first assistant of the cabinet, leading everyone to clean up the first assistant.

Zhao Zhigao picked up a cabinet minister for nothing. In order to secure this position, Zhao Zhigao worked very hard. Heard of the chaos before, he directly suggested that the governor of the three sides, Wei Xuezeng, be in charge of the expedition, and mobilize all the military forces of the three sides to fight against Qi Bai. Don't let Qibai have the opportunity to bring Mongolian cavalry into the fortress to help. If you are in a hurry, you should ask Wei Xuezeng to take over all the military and political power. Its power also proposed to send a supervisory army to supervise it.

This suggestion is still feasible. The imperial court has ruled the military with literature for many years, but the generals are unusable or disobedient. Zhu Yijun is also well aware of this, and it is not surprising. It is not surprising that he can better control the power of life and death by bestowing Shang Fang with a sword. Generals, there is nothing wrong with this point, you can promise it, and it just so happens that Mei Guozhen wrote a letter to ask the supervising army, and he agreed.

Then Zhao Zhigao, considering the difficulty of countering the rebellion, believed that there must be brave men under heavy rewards, and proposed to propose a reward amount to encourage soldiers to fight the enemy bravely—behead Chengen, and promise to prolong the life of Hou Bo; those who can capture and sacrifice the thief, and be crowned with the world; Those who were able to capture and sacrifice their fathers and sons would receive 1 taels of silver and be granted the title of General of the Dragon and Tiger; if they captured Liu Dongyang, Xu Chao, and Tu Wenxiu, they would be rewarded with [-] taels of silver and be granted the title of commander of the capital.

This is also possible, Zhu Yijun thought for a while, and then approved an approval on the note.

Then there is an excerpt from Shi Xing, Shangshu of the Ministry of War. Shi Xing suggested that the generals on the nine sides are unusable. He asked the court to increase the number of brave generals in the interior, such as Zhejiang soldiers and Miao soldiers going north to help in the battle, or choose other powerful generals to lead the army. The candidates he proposed It is Li Rusong, the eldest son of Li Chengliang.

This made the Emperor Wanli a little bit embarrassed. Li Rusong, this guy is also a fierce and good fighter, and compared with his father, he has a stronger military atmosphere, more like a pure soldier than a warlord. Li Chengliang is old and already Gradually he became cunning, different from Li Rusong, a guy who only focused on killing the enemy on the battlefield.

Do you want to?

Zhu Yijun is hesitating.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Wei Xuezeng, the governor of the three sides, went to the military newspaper of the frontier gate!"

A young prisoner ran over in a hurry, knelt on the ground and said hastily, Zhu Yijun's eyes lit up, and immediately said: "Quick pass!"

After a while, a military newspaper was sent in, and Zhu Yijun hurriedly opened the fire seal and read it quickly.

"Good! Good! Good!"

Zhang Cheng raised his head in extreme surprise, and he was even more surprised to find that the emperor's complexion suddenly became much ruddy, and a strong light suddenly burst out from his dull eyes, which seemed extremely pleasantly surprised!
