Domineering Daming

Sun Chengzong, Shen Yongmao, Mao Wenlong and others were startled. Sun Chengzong, who was familiar with Zhu Xu, Shen Yongmao's heart skipped a beat.

Sun Chengzong frowned slightly and said, "What does the emperor mean?"

Zhu Xu knocked on the table with his fingers. He could already predict the attitudes of these people, but he still wanted to push forward, saying: "Now my Ming's territory is unprecedentedly large, and the military department is very weak in the court. You guys Do you think you need to change?"

Since ancient times, all dynasties have emphasized literature over martial arts, or suppressed martial arts. The Ming Dynasty was better, and the Song Dynasty was a strange thing.

Sun Chengzong knew that Zhu Xu was "good at martial arts", and said sincerely: "Your Majesty, I think it is necessary for the Ministry of War to exercise restraint. If the position of the Ministry of War is raised, it may cause instability in the court."

Zhu Xu listened and nodded slightly.

Sun Chengzong's concerns are justified. The impact of a strong military department on the court situation is immeasurable, and the direction of development is unpredictable, so extreme caution is required.

Whether on land or at sea, the opponents the Ming Dynasty faced were very powerful, and they must not be defeated. If they were defeated, they would be abandoned by this world!

Building a strong country on the sea and on land is Zhu Xu's major goal. Even in this difficult situation, he will not hesitate!

Zhu Xu stood up, folded his hands behind his back, and slowly considered in his heart.

In the Ming Dynasty, literati were in power, whether it was government affairs or military affairs, they were in charge of literati. Their general view was that "a little wealth means peace", they had no enterprising spirit, and their strategic vision was focused on "China".

"I plan to set up a Grand Marshal's Mansion."

Zhu Xu inspected the faces of several people, and said: "It is under the jurisdiction of the Operation Department, the Command Department, the Staff Department, the Logistics Department, the Equipment Department, etc., and the army, navy, and others in command of our Ming Dynasty. The Ministry of War is free and only responsible for daily affairs. , what do you think?"

Chapter 809 Target King Jing

Zhu Xu's voice fell in the side hall, but the echo continued.

Sun Chengzong, Shen Yongmao, Mao Wenlong, and Xiong Wencan all felt it. His will is very firm. This is clearly a reorganization of the army and large-scale reforms!

Several people's hearts were beating wildly. Military reform is more difficult than political reform. It is not resistance from the military. It often comes from civilian officials. Moreover, the consequences of military reform are very unpredictable. A small problem will turn into a catastrophe, and even shake the country. !

Sun Chengzong looked at Zhu Xu solemnly, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I think this matter needs to be cautious. The impact of this disarmament has already been huge, and it is not appropriate to move now."

Shen Yongmao quickly followed, saying: "Your Majesty, if you shake the Ministry of War, the whole world will be unstable, please think again!"

Although Mao Wenlong has no power, he has been idle all the time, and now he raised his hand and said: "Your Majesty, please be careful. Now is the critical time for the 'New Deal'. If we change the 'Military Policy' again, the impact may be too great."

Xiong Wencan stopped talking, although he was also worried about the resumption of "military reform".

Zhu Xu had expected it a long time ago, and said calmly: "Well, I know what you mean, you can discuss it again, make the disarmament procedure more detailed, and show me in a few days, it's so late, you all go back .”

Sun Chengzong and others frowned, the emperor obviously didn't listen to what they said.

After Zhu Xu finished speaking, he looked at the map again, turned around and left.

Sun Chengzong and the others subconsciously raised their hands, and when Zhu Xu left, Shen Yongmao looked at Sun Chengzong worriedly, and said, "Mr. Sun Ge, has the emperor made up his mind?"

The emperor was always eager to do things, and he didn't give others a chance to react at all, and it was obviously the same this time.

Sun Chengzong's face was sullen, his eyes flickered, and he said for a while: "'Military reform' is of great importance, and it cannot be done by me and the Ministry of War. Don't think too much about it for now, and complete the disarmament first."

The corners of Shen Yongmao's face twitched, his worry persisted.

How can they resist the emperor's will? Even if Sun Chengzong goes to Bi Ziyan now, it will not be changed.

As Shen Yongmao thought, Sun Chengzong hurried out of the palace after a few words, went to the cabinet first, saw that Bi Ziyan had returned, and then went out of the palace directly and rushed to Bi's mansion.

Zhu Xu didn't go back to Yuzao Palace, Li Jieyu and the child must be asleep by now.

He didn't feel sleepy, so he let people light a lantern and wandered slowly in the imperial garden.

Reforming the superstructure of the military is something Zhu Xu has thought about for a long time. The most important purpose of this reform is to "centralize power", which will enable him to deal with more challenges, whether it is "Little Ice River" or the future On the sea, or in Chahar, Junggar, Russia, and Zhu Xu all need more power.

Naturally, the earlier the better for such a restructuring, when his prestige is at its highest and the resistance is the least.It is also beneficial for him to master the army as soon as possible and promote the reform of the army.

"It's just that the resistance is not small..."

Zhu Xu raised his head, looked at the hazy moonlight and said with emotion.The more you do, the greater the resistance, like getting into a quagmire.

Liu Shimin followed Zhu Xu not far behind, and lowered his head slightly when he heard his emotion.

He could understand the emperor, but the outer court adhered to a consistent idea on certain issues, like a monolith, and it was not easy to pry open a gap.

Zhu Xu walked slowly, thinking in his heart.

The so-called "high pressure" does not mean that he can be stopped. He thinks more about how to build a stable, powerful "Grand Marshal's Mansion" that has the least impact on the political situation.

Once this "Grand Marshal's Mansion" is established, it will definitely occupy an extremely prominent position in the capital, and it will have an extremely serious impact on the court situation and the future Ming Dynasty. Even he must be cautious and cautious, not only considering him now, but also in the next ten years In 20 years, we still have to worry about the longevity of Daming Guozuo.

Zhu Xu sat down on a bench, looking at the bleak moonlight, thinking and pondering constantly in his heart.

Sun Chengzong was worried about the "Grand Marshal's Mansion" that Zhu Xu had just exported, and hurried to Bi's mansion. Before he could knock on the door, the door of Bi's mansion opened. Bi Ziyan walked quickly with his head down, and was about to Stepped over the threshold and bumped into Sun Chengzong.

"Master Bi, what's wrong?" Sun Chengzong hurriedly blocked him.

Bi Ziyan was startled, raised his head, and said, "Master Sun, it's so late... Maybe you also received it?"

Sun Chengzong came for the "Grand Marshal's Mansion". Seeing Bi Ziyan's expression, he couldn't help asking: "What have you received?"

Bi Ziyan didn't care why Sun Chengzong came, he took out two letters from his arms, handed them to him and said, "I'm going to find you, you should read it first."

Sun Chengzong took it, pulled it out suspiciously, looked slightly startled, and then looked at the second letter, his face gradually serious.

Of these two letters, one of them was jointly signed by several governors and ministers of the Governor’s Council, telling King Jing Zhu Luhu to “be ruthless in arbitrariness, block the way of speech, embezzle and ask for bribes, form personal relationships, and misbehave.” The other letter is It was transferred from the clan mansion, and the name of the complainant was smeared, and the content was that Zhu Luhu "flattered the cabinet ministers, traffic ministers, usurped the utensils, violated the ancestral system" and so on.

One pile after another, no matter which one it is, is enough to send Prince Jing to prison.But this is not the point, Prince Jing is a very special existence - he is the prince of the clan!

His appearance in the officialdom has indeed violated the ancestral system of the Ming Dynasty, which is irrefutable!

Today's emperor did not destroy the ancestral system once or twice. Others always had excuses to fool the past, but King Jing was different. He was placed in the Governor's Council and participated in political affairs from his birth.In the past, the emperor severely suppressed it, and no one dared to mention it. It has been acquiesced in this matter, and now someone finds it out, it is bound to be a troublesome matter!

It seems that Prince Jing has always been on the edge of the court, but everyone in the court knows that the Governor's Council is a very important part of the "New Deal", and it has been managed by Prince Jing from scratch. How many people will be involved, and what kind of blow will it have on the Governor's Council and the "New Deal"!

Prince Jing is the emperor's confidant, and the Governor's Council also has some other intentions hidden by the emperor, so he will definitely not allow Prince Jing to fall like this.

Sun Chengzong felt a surge of anger in his heart, and said: "Is there really nothing that the Ministry of Punishment can do?"

Bi Ziyan was also angry, and said, "I went there myself, and I really couldn't find any clues."

Sun Chengzong frowned, his eyes flickered sharply.

The corners of Bi Ziyan's face turned blue, and his anger could not be dispelled.

The two elders of the Ming Dynasty, one stood inside the door, and the other stood outside the door, separated by a threshold, both had ugly expressions, and their chests heaved slightly.

In the past, Zhu Xu faced the attack alone, and they passively accepted, dealt with, and finished it. Now, this has changed quietly. These adults became angry and went to the front line of the battle.
