I'm really not the carpenter emperor

Although the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of War are investigating together, it is their own Ministry of War that is in charge of the national guards right now.

That is to say, Zhao Bingzhong has now become a foil, but he himself has become the mastermind who persuaded the emperor to investigate the army station of the guard!

As soon as the news came out, all civil and military officials all over the world would feel like cutting their own hearts with knives.

But he thought about it again, the raw rice has been cooked, even if he resigns now, he might be implicated when he returns.

Right now, it seems that they can only follow the emperor all the way to the dark.

If a raw horse is used as a living horse doctor, if he succeeds, he will still be famous forever. If the rectification of the health center fails, there will be no future.

For the rest of the day, Wang Qia was in no mood to do business.

He was thinking of a way to break the situation. There should be a way to push out the main responsibility and attention, and to stand on the emperor's team.

Not to mention, when he fell asleep at night, this idea really made him dream.

Nothing else, the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies.

Originally, when Zhu Yuanzhang established the Dudufu of the Five Armies in the early Ming Dynasty, he wanted to let the Dudufu in various places manage the guards, be self-sufficient, and solve the food and payment problem once and for all.

But after Tumubao, the Wuxun Group declined, and this right was gradually handed over to the Ministry of War.

Since it was said that it was originally a matter of the Military Commander's Mansion, can I ask Your Majesty to return the government to the Five Army Commander's Mansion under the pretext of restoring the ancestral system.

In this way, many military attaches from the five military governor's mansions are also involved. Who will be the next one to attract much attention?

No one else, but the British Duke Zhang Weixian who is in charge of the Five Armies Commander's Mansion!

After the southern tour, the northern and southern relatives were forcibly kneaded into a family by the current emperor, and Zhang Weixian, a British prince, meant to be promoted as the leader of the nobles.

Zhang Weixian is the number one honorable person in the country, and his status is much higher than that of a mere minister of the Ministry of War. He is in charge of checking the army station of the guard, so the power of this faction should not be underestimated.

In addition to the general family, a considerable part of the guards in various places are also controlled by nobles, and their influence is not small.

Zhang Weixian is loyal to the emperor, so there is no need to ask which team the nobles from all over the country should stand on.

In this way, if the Dudufu of the Five Armies were to investigate the guards, wouldn't this mean that the generals are in charge of the generals, and they close the door and take care of their own affairs?

Just do what he said, Wang Qia also frightened his wife, got up from the bed in the middle of the night, and began to write vigorously.

Those who didn't know, thought that Zhu Youxiao's imperial decree scared the girl crazy.

Chapter 628 Returning the Ministry of War to the Governor's Mansion

Even as an emperor, his daily life is basically two points and one line.

At most, he can go out for a while occasionally, but Zhu Youxiao knows that there are not many opportunities to go out like this.

The next day, Zhu Youxiao got up early.

Just woke up, Zhang Yan who was still asleep a moment ago also got up, Zhu Youxiao saw her, pushed her down, and said with a smile:

"You're fine, it's okay to sleep more."

"Besides you, there is still the concubine after all in the harem, if not possible there is also Zhen, so don't be so tense."

But Zhang Yan still wanted to get up, took the dragon-patterned uniform that was hanging at the side last night, and helped Zhu Youxiao put it on, while yawning and saying:

"Your Majesty is already up, how can the concubine stay in bed?"

Zhu Youxiao had no choice but to let her work behind her back.

As both the emperor and the empress got up, the Kunning Palace seemed to come alive all of a sudden, and the maids and eunuchs in the palace walked back and forth.

Some waited for the emperor to wash with copper basins, while others held square scarves and waited for the emperor to clean his face after washing.

Zhu Youxiao lived this kind of life every day, and at first he felt sorry for it, but now he is used to it and doesn't care.

If you don't let these ladies and eunuchs serve you, they will feel that they have a psychological gap.

The minds of people at this time are different from those in later generations.

Zhu Youxiao put on his regular clothes, took a square scarf to clean his face, turned his head to look at his son who was still sleeping soundly, and went to Xinuang Pavilion to manage politics.

As soon as he went out, he said to the female officer Xu:

"When Ran'er wakes up, ask Mr. to teach him calligraphy. If there is anything that can't be dealt with, ask Zhen to clean him up."

Mrs. Xu smiled mischievously, and then said respectfully: "The young master has been very well-behaved recently, even my husband said that the young master is talented and intelligent."

"Is there still this?"

Zhu Youxiao was surprised, a little surprised, and looked at Zhu Ciran on the bed, this little guy happened to turn over at this moment, but he was so cute.

His own son naturally likes it no matter how he sees it. Zhu Youxiao only thought that Mrs. Xu was comforting himself, and shook his head with a smile:

"You guys, if this goes on like this, you will spoil my emperor's son."

Xu didn't say anything this time, just smiled.

"Forget it, forget it." Zhu Youxiao stared at Mrs. Xu for a while, smiled helplessly, and said with a wave of his hand.

After all, this child is still young. According to future generations, he has not even reached the age of primary school, so what can he ask of him.

Thinking of this, turn around and leave.

"Slave and maid respectfully send your majesty."

Mrs. Xu didn't notice the emperor's eyes just now, watching the emperor's back as he left, and continued to wait at the gate of Kunning Palace.

When he came to the corridor outside Xinuan Pavilion, Wang Chaofu had been waiting here, and when he saw this, he hurried over and said cautiously:

"Master, last night Wang Butang from the Ministry of War submitted a notebook overnight. It seems that he has something important to report."

Zhu Youxiao nodded, walked into Xinuang Pavilion and sat on the Nine Dragon Throne, picked up the memorial written by Wang Qia, and looked through it quietly.

After reading it, I can't laugh or cry.

Wang Chaofu paid attention to Zhu Youxiao's expression, but he couldn't tell whether it was happiness or anger, sorrow or sadness.

What Zhu Youxiao wants to say now is a little happy and a little worried.

how to say?

Wang Qia's book is exactly what Zhu Youxiao meant, but in this way, the matter of reducing taxes in Shanshan and Tunnel will become a big problem.

In the book, Wang Qia detailed the advantages of the orthodox former Ministry of War and the five-army governor's office in charge of each administration. After Yingzong, the guards gradually returned to the army.

Therefore, his request is to let Zhu Youxiao return the Ministry of War to the Dudu Mansion, and the affairs of the guards will be handled by the Dudu Mansions in various places from now on.

Zhu Youxiao sat there, frowning in thought.

Compared with Zhang Heming, who almost caused the disaster in Guangning, Wang Qia managed the Ministry of War in an orderly manner, and he was indeed a capable minister.

Zhu Youxiao also understood his thoughts.

For Wang Qia, if it is handled well, the follow-up is still unknown, but if it is not handled well, there will be no follow-up. The current minister of the Ministry of War is definitely a sinner in history.

The government of the Weisuo is related to the foundation of the Ming Dynasty, and no one knows what the end will be. It is only natural that he would choose to back down.

It's just that Wang Qia also gave an attitude. Even if he doesn't manage the administration of the guard station, he will still stand on his side.

This also reassured Zhu Youxiao that as for returning the government to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, a huge interest group would be involved.

That is the Xungui Group headed by Zhang Weixian and spread all over the world.

If households and the Second Ministry of Military Affairs alone are not enough to shake the cornerstone of the Weisuo's administration and make those people pay attention, then the addition of the Xungui Group will completely tilt the balance to one side.

This side is the promoter behind the reformation—Emperor Tianqi.

So here comes the question, will the Xungui Group regain control of the military affairs of the guard, will it affect Zhu Youxiao?

Have!

Although the nobles from all over the country have the same interests as themselves in this matter, their abilities and personalities are uneven.

There are loyal and courageous disciples like Zhang Shize and Mu Tianbo who dare to go to battle and serve the country as their loyalty, and there are also small-timers like Zhao Zhilong and others who are willing to do everything for their own benefit.

Once this kind of person is in charge of the guard, it is a bomb.

Zhu Youxiao couldn't help thinking that if someone like Zhao Zhilong was hiding, he could still be suppressed when he was in power, but he wouldn't be in power all the time.

Can his own son suppress the nobles from all over the world who have regained military power after many years?

Now, Zhu Youxiao can be regarded as understanding Zhu Yuanzhang's sense of crisis in his later years. Indeed, thinking of this makes one's hair stand on end.

But now, to deal with the corrupt guard system, there is no better choice except to move out of the Five Army Commander's Mansion.

After all, I have not been on the throne for a long time, and it has only been more than five years now. I can use the Xungui Group first, and then find time to kill the donkey with one hand.

In any case, Zhu Youxiao will not leave behind any forces that threaten the imperial power.

In this era, only when the imperial power is stable and centralized, can we have the strength to carry out political and military reforms, and the world will have real long-term peace and stability.

After thinking for a while, Zhu Youxiao's expression became solemn, and the atmosphere in Xinuange was also somewhat intriguing. He said in a deep voice:

"That's it!"

"Decree to Zhang Weixian, from today onwards, the Ministry of War will be transferred to the Governor's Mansion of the Fifth Army, and the rest of the affairs of the guards in various places will be gradually handed over by the Second Department!"

When Wang Chaofu heard this, he finally understood why the emperor had such a heavy expression just now.

Indeed, as soon as this imperial decree came out, it would have a great impact on the military and political circles of the entire Ming Dynasty, and to put it even bigger, it would even affect the strength of Ming's rule in the whole country.

The resumption of military power by the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies means that the era of civil servants managing the government affairs of the guards is completely over, and it also represents an unprecedented strengthening of the power in the hands of the emperor.

As for Zhang Weixian, when he received this imperial decree, his head was buzzing, and he almost fell over.

He has always tried his best not to attract any attention, just to keep the Zhang family as safe as possible when the big event comes.

Unexpectedly, this day still came.

The emperor issued an imperial decree directly, which means that none of them have much room to comment on this matter.

War is on.

It's just that this time it's not a battlefield fight or a bloody fight, but a political multi-party game.

Chapter 629 Apocalypse Honorable Group

Zhang Weixian was so frightened that he fell down, it was an act, and it was a show for others to see.

As soon as the eunuch who announced the edict left, he got up and continued to sit on the chair, his eyes full of shrewdness.

After thinking for a while, Zhang Weixian said in a deep voice:

"Send people to Dingguo Duke's Mansion, Zhenyuanhou Mansion, and Yangwuhou Mansion. All the nobles in Beijing, who can be called, will be called together."

"Let's just say, this Daming is about to change..."

Zhang Weixian looked at the servant who left, his face trembling uncontrollably, in fact, the sky has changed now.

The return of the Ministry of War to the Governor's Mansion of the Fifth Army was something he had only hoped for in the past, but he did not expect that it would become a reality in the fifth year of Tianqi.

Because all the ministers of the Ministry of War have great authority, who would give up the power they have and hand it over to others?

What's more, literati all over the world have always worn a pair of trousers. If anyone dares to return to power, his descendants may be stabbed in the spine by the scholars of later generations for a lifetime.

Wang Qia, who brought up this matter, was actually helpless.

Taking charge of clearing and inspecting the guards' garrison by himself, or returning the government to the Dudu's Mansion of the Five Armies, these two things have a far-reaching impact.

The palms and backs of the hands are full of flesh, and it hurts no matter which side is lost.

Originally, in history, the Ministry of War gradually replaced the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies and exercised military administration. This is the trajectory of development after the Tumubao Change.

Now that the government is returned to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, this is one of the chain reactions caused by the excessive power of the Ministry of War.

In the Apocalypse Dynasty, after the Battle of the Southwest, the Battle of Liaodong, the major imperial examinations, and the implementation of the new salt law by force, the imperial power in the hands of Zhu Youxiao was actually very high.

In other words, the existence of the Ministry of War, which now controls the Tianxiawei and military affairs, has threatened the imperial power.

As the emperor, Zhu Youxiao naturally couldn't understand that there was always such a military department with power far exceeding the other five departments.

Naturally, the return of the Ministry of War in the year of Tianqi was an inevitable result.

This is another step by Zhu Youxiao, who is the emperor, to strengthen the centralization of power, and it is also a forced rectification against the corruption of the Weisuo system.

In fact, during the Jingtai Dynasty, Yu Qian actually controlled the Ministry of War, and its rights already included the military command and management rights of the Five Armies Dudufu.

At that time, Emperor Jingtai, who was the emperor, had to rely on the civil official group headed by Yu Qian to maintain his position.

The expansion of the power of the civil service group and the annihilation of the Wu Xun group all made the transfer of the power of the five army governors to the Ministry of War happen imperceptibly.
