Domineering Daming

There is no time to delay!

Zhu Xu looked at these three people, tapped his fingers on the table slowly, nodded slightly and said: "I know what you are talking about, but I plan to integrate the 'army hall and army department' to strengthen the control of the army and increase the strength of the army The determination has been made, whether it is the "Grand Marshal's Mansion" or what department, what mansion, Mr. Sun Ge, from today on, you will put your mind on it, and do a good job of "military reform" and "disarmament". Before that, I want to see your progress!"

Just as Sun Chengzong was about to argue again, Zhu Xu turned to look at Liu Shimin and said, "When will Cao Wenzhao arrive in Beijing?"

Liu Shimin turned sideways and said, "Go back to the emperor, I expect to arrive in Beijing before the end of the month."

Zhu Xu nodded slightly, and said: "As soon as he arrives in Beijing, let him come to see me, no matter how late! By the way, Lu Xiang's promotion to the Minister of the Ministry of War has stopped beforehand, and let him come to see me when he arrives in Beijing."

Liu Shimin glanced at the three of Sun Chengzong and said, "Yes."

The three of Sun Chengzong looked tense, they could all see that the emperor's intention was obviously to tell them - if you don't do it, I will bypass you and do it!

"Tell me about the military conference." Zhu Xu picked up the teacup casually, glanced at the three people in front of him, and said.

Sun Chengzong frowned, not knowing how to speak for a moment, he glanced at Shen Yongmao beside him.

Shen Yongmao was even more worried that Zhu Xu would bypass the Ministry of War. He hurriedly raised his hand and said, "Your Majesty, the Ministry of War will discuss the matter of 'military reform' again and report it to the Emperor as soon as possible. The military discussion, according to last year's example, It is planned to be in February next year, and the commanders in various places have been notified to arrive in Beijing in early February next year."

Zhu Xu put down his teacup and said, "Last year it was rough and inexperienced. This year, it must be more formalized, institutionalized, and detailed. From the overall strategy to every detail, we must consider..."

Sun Chengzong and Shen Yongmao listened to each other with their own feelings.

Before the apocalypse, the basic rules of the courtiers' submissions were: presentation-deliberation-approval or presentation-argument-let it go, basically these two types, but this His Majesty Jingzheng in front of you has his own ideas in everything and cannot tolerate the cabinet , the six parts come by themselves, and they have to intervene in everything, which makes them very anxious and difficult to deal with themselves.

Zhu Xu was deliberately putting pressure on them. These adults all have their own ideas, and if they don't give them enough pressure, they won't go in the direction he wants.

After talking for a long time, seeing that the three adults did not refute any more, Zhu Xu said, "By the way, how is Annan's side?"

Shen Yongmao raised his hand calmly and said: "The emperor, Zuo Liangyu, Dorgon, etc. have all written letters, saying that Annan has surrendered, and now they are starting to move people from north to south. It is expected to be completed in the next year, and the Neijing is making arrangements migrant……"

Zhu Xu remained motionless, tapped his fingers on the table slowly, and said, "Well, how did Luzon arrange the old port?"

Shen Yongmao looked up at Zhu Xu, and said: "The old port is currently under the responsibility of Yang Sichang, the governor, and the governor. The Ministry of War has prepared 3 people to board the ship in Fujian a few days ago. Lu Song is Yu Anxing, who is rapidly Structure the yamen at all levels..."

Zhu Xu knew all these things, and Shen Yongmao explained them in more detail.

These islands are quite special, and the inland system cannot be used uniformly. There is no standing army for the imperial court, and the yamen at all levels are quite simple and rough.

Zhu Xu raised his eyelids, looked at the three people and said, "Those pirates are generally uncivilized, and they are wild. I plan to order the cabinet to recruit famous teachers and scholars from the world's scholars, and go to these places to spread the teachings of saints and spread my benevolence. What do you do? look?"

Sun Chengzong was taken aback, he didn't expect the emperor to have such an idea, but it seemed natural when he thought about it, but among these famous teachers and scholars in Ming Dynasty, which one would have such a "benevolent heart" to go to the barren island to educate the barbarians?

"I think it's okay." Sun Chengzong said in a wrong way.

Shen Yongmao glanced at Sun Chengzong from the corner of his eye, but did not speak.He also knew in his heart that probably no one would be willing to join the recruitment of the cabinet.Abandoning family and business, abandoning ancestors and ancestors are all for those businessmen, how can they slap themselves in the face?

Zhu Xu saw it more clearly than they did. This was his foreshadowing, and he used it to silence them in the future. He said casually: "Leave this matter to the cabinet, and I don't care about it for the time being. Regarding the cabinet candidates, what do you do?" look?"

Hearing the word "temporarily", Sun Chengzong and Shen Yongmao all looked up at Zhu Xu, with a bad premonition in their hearts.

When Zhu Xu looked up, Sun Chengzong restrained his emotions and said in thought: "Your Majesty, there are only three people in the cabinet at present. According to the rules, there are still six people left, and the cabinet is currently being selected."

"Five!"

Zhu Xu thought in his heart, then pondered for a while, and said, "I still have one candidate for the cabinet, but I want to look again. Let's decide on two before the year. I have one, and the cabinet will recommend another one."

Sun Chengzong opened his eyes slightly, is the emperor really going to delegate power to the cabinet?

Zhu Xu didn't care about what he thought, and continued: "Let me say a little more, Minister of the Household Department, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, I plan to transfer away, if you have any candidates, discuss it in the cabinet first, don't expand it, you know That's it."

Sun Chengzong was slightly shocked, and looked at Zhu Xu with strange eyes.

Is the emperor really delegating power, or is there another conspiracy?

Chapter 818 Out of the City

Sun Chengzong and Shen Yongmao left the imperial study and returned to the cabinet with complicated thoughts.

When Bi Ziyan heard this, his expression became solemn: "Is the emperor determined to carry out the 'military reform'?"

Sun Chengzong and Shen Yongmao felt a headache, this matter made them difficult.

The emperor had obviously made up his mind, and if they couldn't do it, he would obviously bypass them.

Shen Yongmao said: "You two elders, the emperor can't bypass us in this matter, the Ministry of War has to do it!"

Bi Ziyan's face was sullen, his eyes were condensed.He was very afraid of this "Grand Marshal's Mansion", and he was basically unwilling to set it up. When he heard that Zhu Xu deliberately bypassed the Ministry of War and even the cabinet, he couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

Sun Chengzong's expression pondered, and he said: "The Ministry of War and the Palace of War will make arrangements immediately, and some matters must be settled first. At that time, no matter how much the emperor insists, we can't back down. It's about the country, the stability of the world, and we must not compromise! "

Bi Ziyan didn't say anything. Cao Wenzhao and Lu Xiangsheng were all the emperor's cronies. If they got involved, they might not be able to carry out the reforms they wanted. The emperor cared so much this time, probably for other purposes.

Facing such a powerful, talented and bold emperor, Bi Ziyan, who had already gotten used to it, was under a lot of pressure.

"That's the only way to go." Bi Ziyan said after a while.Now that Prince Jing has been added to the cabinet, they can no longer "do whatever they want" in certain matters.

The upper echelons of the imperial court are undercurrents turbulent, wrestling with each other.

The action of the Governor's Council outside the palace is getting bigger and bigger. The "invitation" of several principals with people all over the capital is related to the previous incidents. In just two days, more than 100 officials of all sizes were arrested. "Please" entered the Governor's Council and never came out again.

The public opinion in the capital was quickly suppressed, and with the addition of the morning newspaper, the six newspapers were all launched, and the public opinion in the capital quickly turned and became calm.

In the past few days, Wei Xuelian led people to deal with some cases in advance, and also deliberately targeted some people. Inside the Governor's Council, many people were arrested in the six ministries, which caused a great shock.

The people hiding in the dark did not show their heads, but gave the court a lenient time.

The operation of the cabinet and the six ministries seems to be more powerful, and Zhu Xu's government affairs workload has been greatly reduced, but he has more time to think and plan some things.

In the early morning of the next day, inside the Xihua Gate, Zhu Xu was wrapped in a thick cotton coat and added a big cloak, holding his hands in his hands without the manner of an emperor, and looking up at the sky.

Standing beside him were Cao Huachun, Wang Wensheng and a group of imperial guards, all in normal uniform, and there was a large carriage not far away.

"Do you think it will rain today?" Zhu Xu asked with his hands in his sleeves, looking at the gloomy weather.

Wang Wensheng has experienced a lot in the past few years, and he is much calmer, standing not far away, silently.

On the contrary, Cao Huachun looked up and said, "Your Majesty, I think it won't rain, but snow is possible."

Zhu Xu suddenly smiled and said: "That's right, I forgot about this."

It's almost December, but the first snow has come late, and it's still colder than last year. The whole north is like being covered in an ice cellar, it's bitingly cold, and it's freezing into the lungs.

Cao Huachun didn't say much, and turned his head to look inside. Princess Yongning didn't arrive for a long time.

"Is this girl imprisoned by the emperor's wife again?" Zhu Xu also looked at her and said to herself.

"Uncle Emperor, Uncle Emperor..."
