Domineering Daming

Gu Bingqian is an old fox. After today, he still doesn't understand. This emperor is a sensible person. He has a very clear view of the government and the opposition. It is impossible to deal with it by deceiving Zhu Youxiao!

He knelt there, trembling, and said in an old and sad voice: "I have committed a lot of crimes, forming cliques for personal gain, embezzling and accepting bribes, and doing too many illegal things."

Zhu Xu looked slightly surprised, turned his head to look at him and said, "Are you here to plead guilty?"

Gu Bingqian knelt there, not daring to move rashly, and said with a nod of his head: "Yes, I deserve death for my crimes."

Zhu Xu squinted his eyes. This old fox knew how to seize the opportunity. He saw that he needed him in the cabinet, so he came to plead guilty.

At this moment, the grown-ups who left the Golden Luan Hall felt more oppressed than ever. There was always a feeling of discomfort in their hearts, unable to vomit or swallow, extremely uncomfortable.

Chapter 205 Yuan Chonghuan

Zhu Xu thought for a while, with a smile on his face, he said, "How do you want me to punish you?"

Gu Bingqian knelt there and said, "I leave it to the emperor to dispose of."

Zhu Xu said: "Well, donate your family property and think about it behind closed doors for a month."

Gu Bingqian shuddered all over, but he still gritted his teeth and said: "The minister leads the order."

Zhu Xu picked up the brochure again, and said calmly: "I'm not here, so I'll keep an eye on the cabinet."

A smile flashed across Gu Bingqian's disheartened face, he hurriedly restrained himself, knelt lower, and said, "I obey the order."

"Go." Zhu Xu waved his hand.

"Resignation." Gu Bingqian kowtowed, and the 70-year-old struggled to get up, and slowly withdrew.

Cao Huachun stood there, watching him go out without moving.

As soon as Gu Bingqian came out of Wenzhao Pavilion, he let out a long sigh of relief, the sadness and oldness disappeared from his face, after patting his clothes, with a faint smile on his face, he walked out slowly with his hands behind his back, waving the official appearance of the chief assistant.

Zhu Xu dismissed Gu Bingqian, looked at the folder in his hand, and frowned.

This is a copy of Shandong Dao Yushi's request for tax reduction. He said that this year's drought in Shandong has caused riots everywhere, and the people are struggling to live. He asked for a one-year tax reduction.

Zhu Xu thought for a while and said, "Xiao Cao, call uncle."

"Yes." Cao Huachun agreed, and ordered a servant to go out.

Just as Cao Huachun was about to turn around and come back, Feng Zhu appeared at the door and whispered something in Cao Huachun's ear.

Cao Huachun's face changed slightly, and he waved him away. He quickly walked to Zhu Xu's side, and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, there is news from Dongchang that Yuan Chonghuan has entered the capital."

Cao Huachun is temporarily in charge of the admiral of the East Factory, and Feng Zhu is in charge of the specific affairs.

Zhu Xu was flipping through the booklet, listening to Cao Huachun's words, his face moved slightly, he turned to look at him and said, "Did I call him back?"

Cao Huachun said: "No, as soon as he entered the city... he went to Prince Xin's Mansion."

Zhu Xu narrowed his eyes, immediately dropped the notebook, and said with a smile, "Let's go, go to the back garden to watch the fish."

Cao Huachun has become more and more incomprehensible to Zhu Xu who has become the emperor recently, but he is also very good at adjusting his position.Since Zhu Xu deprived the right of the supervisor of ceremonies to approve the redemption, he showed that he did not like eunuchs to participate in government affairs, and he did not involve any more.

After walking a few steps, another servant came to report: "My Majesty, Mr. Sun Ge is begging to see you outside the palace."

"No see." Zhu Xu waved his hand and walked towards the back garden with an excited face.

Cao Huachun didn't understand what Zhu Xu was excited about, so he could only arrange for someone to reply to Sun Chengzong.

Sun Chengzong, who was waiting outside Qianqing Palace, changed slightly when he heard the servant's report.According to the tacit understanding between the monarch and his ministers today, the emperor should not have replied "no see" so simply and neatly.

He pondered for a while, then quietly stuffed a piece of silver over, looked at the servant and said in a low voice, "I hope my father-in-law will clear up the confusion."

This servant is Cao Huachun's apprentice, who was brought out from the Inner Prison. He smiled and pushed the silver back, and also said in a low voice: "You don't need the silver servant, but Mr. Sun, the emperor has given you a job in the Ministry of War. Can you please?" You have to do your best."

Sun Chengzong became more and more puzzled, and just about to speak, the servant said again: "My lord, you must take good care of the people below." After finishing speaking, he turned around and left in a hurry.

Sun Chengzong looked at the servant's back, and then looked around, only to realize that the palace had completely changed before he knew it.

He stood there with a serious look in his eyes.The new emperor is different from Emperor Tianqi, and even more different from Emperor Wanli. You can feel that this emperor has a big picture just from the performance of the monarchs and ministers in the hall just now!He had already made up his mind about many things, even if he didn't make the right choice today, things would just be one day earlier or one day later.

"Take care of the people below..." Sun Chengzong muttered to himself, then turned and walked outside the palace.

Just when Sun Chengzong left the palace, Yuan Chonghuan had already had a good talk with Xin Wang in Xin Wang's mansion.

Yuan Chonghuan was also a Confucian general, somewhat similar to Sun Chengzong. He looked at Zhu Youjian and said, "Your Majesty, the failure of Liaodong in the Ming Dynasty lies in the instability of the court. Once the court is stable, the salary will be sufficient. The minister takes Shanhaiguan as the base, and Ning Jin as the Arms, Mongolia, and North Korea are the pincers, advancing step by step, slowly building the city, and within five years, Liaodong will be pacified!"

Zhu Youjian looked excited, looked at Yuan Chonghuan and said: "The thief chieftain is a great trouble for my Ming Dynasty. Since the thief chieftain rebelled, there has been no victory. Only Yuan Qing's victory in Ningyuan has greatly boosted the morale of our country. Yuan Qing's statement is not the same as this king. , It coincides with all the adults in the court. Most of the adults in the court think that my Ming Dynasty is far superior to the bandit chieftains in terms of national strength and military strength, and Jiannu is located in a barren land. , just around the corner!"

Yuan Chonghuan looked at Zhu Youjian and nodded secretly in his heart.Before he came to Beijing, he had already checked, and at present, the whole of Da Ming is actually the prince who is in charge. The little emperor is only nine years old, and he is completely in charge of everything when he is consulted about everything!

He came this time because of Yin Xiang, and also because of his strategy of Ping Liao.Seeing that Zhu Youjian was persuaded, Yuan Chonghuan continued: "My lord, after this defeat, the imperial court should instigate Mongolia and North Korea to restrain the slaves, so that I can build the Ningjin line of defense with all my strength. It is impossible to conquer the city defense with slave cavalry. In this way, my Ming Dynasty will take the initiative, advance, attack, retreat, and defend! I am willing to issue a military order, and with the full support of the imperial court, I can return to Liao in five years!"

Zhu Youjian was overwhelmed by Yuan Chonghuan's words and couldn't control his emotions. He took Yuan Chonghuan's hand and said in a deep voice: "Yuan Qing, just say what you want, and I will never shirk what you can do!"

Yuan Chonghuan stood up when he heard the words, raised his hands and bowed and said: "Your Majesty, I don't ask for anything else, I only ask that the monarch and ministers will not doubt it!"

Others may not know the new emperor Zhu Xu, but Zhu Youjian, like Sun Chengzong, has long thought of Zhu Xu, so he also knows a little bit, thought about it seriously, and said: "Okay, this king will take you into the palace immediately to meet the emperor. Today, the Emperor has agreed that Liaodong will not set up a strategy in the court discussion, and Sun Daren, who is temporarily in charge of the Ministry of War, will definitely help Yuan Qing's strategy to pacify Liaodong!"

Yuan Chonghuan bowed again: "Thank you, my lord!"

Zhu Youjian pulled him to sit down, and began to inquire about Yuan Chonghuan's strategy to pacify the Liao Dynasty in detail.

After Sun Chengzong left the palace, he immediately began to investigate.

His third son, Qian, hurried back from Jinyiwei and said anxiously: "Father, I found out, Yuan Chonghuan has gone to Beijing, and he is now in Prince Xin's Mansion."

Just as Sun Chengzong sat down, he was about to drink from a teacup when he heard the words, stood up suddenly, took off his hand, fell to the ground with a click, and fell to pieces.

Yuan Chonghuan is now the governor of Liaodong, because Gaodi has been taken back to the capital, and Yuan Chonghuan is in charge of all Liaodong. It can be said that he is an important border coach, and he is the most important one!

In particular, Shanhaiguan is very close to the capital!

Not to mention that such a border marshal left his post without permission, the key was to meet a person who must never meet in private!

Because of Sun Chengzong's merits, Sun Qian was able to inherit thousands of Jinyiwei households. He also knew Yuan Chonghuan's intentions in doing so, and even more so, the consequences!

He looked at Sun Chengzong with a serious face and said: "Father, the reason why the emperor doesn't see you is because of Yuan Chonghuan. Are you going to call him in immediately and give him a severe reprimand for the emperor to see?"

Yuan Chonghuan did not come to Beijing by order, and the first person he met was not the emperor, but the king Xin who was assisting the government. No emperor would be happy about this, and it is normal to suspect that he has something wrong in his heart.

Sun Qian didn't care about Yuan Chonghuan's life or death, but Yuan Chonghuan was an old subordinate of Sun Chengzong, who had always praised him and promoted him to important tasks many times. What he was worried about was that the emperor would be suspicious of his father and the Sun family, and that would be a catastrophe.

Chapter 206 Entering the palace to seek an audience

Sun Chengzong stood there with his hands behind his back, his face was calm, and he remained silent for a long time.
