Chapter 57

In love with power and position, even without face, Zhu Youxiao really looked down on Zhang Heming even more.

You stinky and shameless person, you mistakenly believed in Wang Huazhen, and you just dismissed it lightly out of fear?Also invite yourself to the sidelines and clean up the mess, do you have that ability?
After pondering for a while, Zhu Youxiao said lightly: "Zhang Shangshu has such a heart, how can I not allow it. The war is urgent, Zhang Shangshu will leave Beijing immediately and go to Shanhaiguan!"

Zhang Heming bowed and waited for a while, seeing that the emperor was speechless, he had no choice but to say, "My minister obeys the order."

According to the usual practice, the imperial court will reward officials of the level of Minister of War for their visits.For example, adding Taibao, giving python jade, giving Shangfang a sword, etc., to show that they represent the imperial court.

But the emperor didn't speak, and Zhang Heming couldn't ask for it.But he didn't think too much about it, thinking that the emperor didn't understand this, so he glanced at the chief assistant Ye Xianggao, hoping that he could come forward and make a suggestion.

But Ye Xianggao frowned slightly, and said nothing, as if he didn't see it at all, or his mind was racing, and he was not in the court at all.

"What you said is quite reasonable." Zhu Youxiao was fed up with a group of ducks quacking in his ears, raised his hand to stop the noise, and said in a deep voice: "Decree that the Governor of Jiliao, Wang Xiangqian, will move the town to the mountains and seas." , transferred Dengzhen to cross the sea to attack disturbances, transferred the Tianjin navy to station in Juehua, and responded to the Guangning war along the coast."

"I obey the order." As soon as Zhu Youxiao finished speaking, Ye Xianggao, who had been silent all this time, bowed to accept the order.

Zhu Youxiao was slightly surprised and looked at Ye Xianggao thoughtfully.

With Ye Xianggao taking the lead, there was nothing wrong with the imperial decree, and all the ministers also bowed to salute, "I will obey the decree."

Zhu Youxiao withdrew his gaze, got up and left his seat, and walked out of the hall. Behind him came the high-pitched voice of an internal officer, "Retire!"

.....................

It's good to go to court in the Qing Palace, Zhu Youxiao quickly returned to the study, only a few steps away, which strengthened his determination to change the ritual system of the court.

Going to the morning court at [-] o'clock in the morning, everyone doesn't have to get up earlier than the chicken, have plenty of time to eat breakfast, and come to work refreshed, how good it is.

Moreover, Zhu Youxiao had to walk a long way from the harem to listen to the government at Fengtianmen in front of Fengxian Hall.What a waste of time, what a delay.

Of course, there is no need for him to walk, there are palace people carrying it!But windy, rainy and cold weather is quite troublesome.

But change the working hours, change the office location, I am the chairman and president of Daming Co., Ltd., can't you do this?

If you change it, you can change it. Zhu Youxiao is still impatient, so he asked someone to draw up an order and send it directly to the cabinet.

Work, rest and living habits have been basically formed. Zhu Youxiao listened to the memorials as usual, especially those about military affairs and economy.

"Okay, Zhu Xieyuan has done a good job, and I ordered a reward." Zhu Youxiao couldn't help being happy when he heard the Sichuan battle report. "The cabinet will discuss how to reward him for his merits."

In the first year of Tianqi, the chieftain of Yongning She Chongming rebelled, broke through 41 states and counties, and surrounded Chengdu by land and water.

Zhu Xieyuan, who was the political envoy of Zuobu in Sichuan at that time, urgently sent officials and troops from Shizhu Xuanweisi, Long'anfu and other places to help.

From October to December, in more than a hundred battles, the Ming army wiped out more than ten thousand rebels, and successively recovered Zunyi, Suiyang, Meitan, Tongzi, Wujiang and other places.

In February of the Tianqi year, Zhu Xieyuan took the rebel general Luo Qianxiang as his internal response, and sent his generals to set up an ambush to surrender.She Chongming was deceived, went to the city, and was surrounded by the Ming army.Luo Qianxiang surrendered, and She Chongming escaped and retreated to Yongning.

"The siege of Chengdu is over, it's time to recover Chongqing." Zhu Youxiao stroked his chin, looked at the map hanging on the wall, and said with some regret: "It's a pity that the transfer of white soldiers to the north will be delayed again."

The white pole soldiers are the army led by Qin Liangyu, Shi Zhu's comfort envoy, and they are famous for their fierceness and bravery.The white-armed soldiers were one of the main forces to put down the She'an Rebellion, and they had made outstanding achievements. Zhu Youxiao knew that they could not be easily mobilized.

"Decree to reward Qin Liangyu, the consolation envoy of stone pillars, at the discretion of the cabinet." Zhu Youxiao looked at the map for a while, and then dictated the decree.

Grinning his teeth and thinking for a while, Zhu Youxiao said again: "The Ministry of Households will withdraw [-] yuan of silver to help Qin Liangyu expand his white-armed soldiers."

What the hell, if those bastards from the household department don't pull it out, they will still have to spend my private money!Zhu Youxiao felt heartbroken at the thought of spending less and less domestic money.

Alas, why didn't my grandfather hug me more, get tens of millions, so that I don't have to worry about money?

When Zhu Youxiao thinks about internal money, he especially misses Grandpa Wanli who has been Over.Grandpa who is not so greedy for money, who can leave him sixty-seven million silver?

It's just that the dead father is short-lived and unreliable, so he can be the emperor for a month, and he was fooled by the civil officials to withdraw all the mine supervisors and tax supervisors. This will not block the way to get money!

There is no tax for mining, and the coal boss is crying poor. What is the reason?Every time he thought of this, Zhu Youxiao was so angry that his liver hurt.

Yes, there are problems with the tax collection system and regulations.But we can change it, you were withdrawn all at once, didn't you make me a villain?
"Report to the emperor, the Chief Assistant Ye Xianggao is waiting outside the hall." Wang Tiqian's voice interrupted Zhu Youxiao's thoughts.

Ye Xianggao, what is he doing here?
Zhu Youxiao frowned suspiciously when he thought of Ye Xianggao's unusual joy during the court meeting.

Although it is not the point, the chief assistant cannot be turned away when he has an audience.

Ye Xianggao entered the hall, knelt down and kowtowed, "I greet my emperor, long live long live long live!"

"Ye Qing is free of courtesy." Zhu Youxiao raised his hand, and asked the palace servants to move to Xiudun.

After thanking Ye Xianggao respectfully, he only sat half of his butt on the embroidered pier. For a 63-year-old man, this posture is really difficult for him.

Zhu Youxiao had no special expression on his face, he looked at Ye Shoufu indifferently, and waited for Ye Shoufu to speak.

Because the division of the Donglin Party is too broad, and Zhu Youxiao's in-depth understanding of the Donglin Party, he has a new understanding in his mind.

Whether Ye Xianggao is Donglin Party or not, according to the classification criteria at that time, it is certain, there is no doubt.

His thoughts tend to be Donglin, and his actions are consistent with Donglin's, such as the struggle for the country, such as Fu Wang's vassal, such as supporting the abolition of mining taxes, can you say he is not?
But Ye Xianggao felt bitter in his heart, and wanted to tell others that I am not the Donglin Party, really not.

There is an idiom called "Hundred mouths can't argue", and another idiom called "Shut up, what the hell are you".

The political ecology at that time was like this. Donglin Party members never claimed to be members of the Donglin Party, while the opposition referred to those who were related to Donglin Academy or those who supported and sympathized with the Donglin Theory as "Donglin Party."

This is a bit embarrassing. For example, the palace transfer case planned and organized by the Donglin Party involved many participants. The British Duke Zhang Weixian, the Commander of Jinyiwei Luo Sigong, and some others joined in the fun. Could it be that they are all from the Donglin Party?
