Thirty-one Zhu Yijun's surprise
To be honest, sometimes Zhu Yijun himself finds it ridiculous, because those ministers are much better than themselves, eating delicacies, wearing silk and satin, taking concubines is as casual as buying vegetables, and giving gifts during festivals can be at the level of 100,000 silver. Did the Ming Dynasty pay such high salary to these bastards? Why don’t I know?!
They built their homes into palaces in heaven, but they asked me, the emperor to live in a low and cold place. They bought their wives and concubines tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. They sprayed them with some rouge and water for their concubines, and asked them to save the cost of the inner palace... Is the cost of the emperor not the cost of the concubines? You use the cost of the ancestral system to limit me, but when you come to yourself, you will not talk about the ancestral system?
There is a saying that only Xuzhou officials set fire but not the people are allowed to light the lamps, but Zhu Yijun felt that the current situation is that only Xuzhou officials set fire but not the emperor is allowed to light the lamps. Moreover, everyone scolded Emperor Zhu for his conscience. Every time I responded in time to ask them to work in disaster relief, and tried my best to pay for the money. The inner treasury left to me by Grandpa Jiajing Longqing's father is about to be emptied!!!
But what about the matter? Is it done? Should I scold the emperor or scold the emperor? If they do something ugly, I will be scolded for taking the blame. Is there such a reason in this world?
As a thirty-year-old man and a mature emperor, Zhu Yijun felt his situation in a real way. The strong sense of shame made his temper become more and more irritable and he became more and more disgusted with the court officials. However, he could not think of how to control the court officials, and could only express his dissatisfaction in a passive way. He did not trust the eunuchs very much. After experiencing Feng Bao's affairs, he knew that eunuchs could also collude with foreign ministers, so eunuchs could not be of great use.
Then who else can he trust? Who can help him get angry? He does not have the means of Grandpa Jiajing, nor does he have the open-mindedness of Longqing's father. He has strong self-esteem and dissatisfaction, has been suppressed for a long time, has been criticized and criticized. His self-esteem as an emperor has been severely damaged, but for the so-called stability of his family and country, he can't move anyone!
In the end, he could only express his dissatisfaction through negligence, and use high-pressure means to maintain his authority, and not be a puppet emperor of the civil servant group or a scapegoat.
Poor Emperor, without the power of personnel and financial affairs, he could only show off his power in front of a group of eunuchs and a group of women...
Thinking of his situation, Zhu Yijun calmed down and smiled bitterly, feeling that it was really not worth it to compete with an imperial physician, so he sat down and waved his hand: "Forget it, don't kill him, just drive him out, Zhang Cheng, has there been any memorials from the cabinet come up, can there be a military newspaper?"
The eunuch Zhang Cheng replied tremblingly: "Return to Your Majesty, a batch of memorials were delivered before noon in the cabinet. Your Majesty said that the military newspaper would be directly spread. There is no news yet. So, will Your Majesty look at the memorials from the cabinet and the Ministry of War? "
Zhu Yijun nodded: "Give me the letter."
"Abide by the order." Zhang Cheng lowered his head gently, then quickly walked out and asked someone to get the note. Zhu Yijun drank a bowl of tea for a while. Zhang Cheng came forward with a red lacquered wooden box and served it with respectfully. Zhu Yijun picked out one of the letters and looked at it. He immediately frowned - Zhejiang Dao Censor Mei Guozhen invited the former Liaodong General Li Chengliang Shu.
If you want to talk about other requests, as long as it is reasonable, Zhu Yijun doesn't care much about it, but the opening of Li Chengliang made Zhu Yijun hesitate. Li Chengliang is not young this year, over 60 years old. He has been in charge of Liaodong for more than ten years and has made great contributions and is very capable of fighting. However, Li Chengliang was found out about a package of things and was just dismissed. Now he is going to use them again. How can he bear the feelings of the emperor?
Mei Guozhen...huh!
Zhu Yijun's face was covered with sneer. This was probably another bastard who was charged for money to do business! He also asked the military supervisor to supervise himself? OK, if you want to treat it, you will be yours. Anyway, you are also a literati who bites a dog. If you stay away from it, I will be more slim!
Li Chengliang would have forgotten that he could not use it. Earlier, Zhang Juzheng's traitor, according to the Jinyi Guardian, this guy caused many people in Liaodong, and his power was getting stronger and stronger. Seeing that Liaodong was about to be surnamed Li but Zhu, he had just dismissed and was about to be reinstated. Wouldn't he be slapped me in the face? This old guy was so anxious to get back on his feet. Could it be that there was really something I dare not say? So I must not!
Then, Zhu Yijun opened the memorial of Zhao Zhigao, the chief assistant of the cabinet.
The previous chief assistant Wang Jiaping completely angered Zhu Yijun because he mentioned the matter of establishing the crown prince again more than ten days ago. Zhu Yijun angrily issued an order to dismiss Wang Jiaping from his post and return to his original home. Zhao Zhigao took the throne of acting chief minister because of this matter. Because the chief minister here had just left the country, the news of the rebellion from the northwest came from the northwest. The ministers did not care that the court recommended the chief minister and directly asked the second assistant Zhao Zhigao to act as the chief minister of the cabinet and led everyone to clean up the chief minister of the cabinet first.
Zhao Zhigao picked up a cabinet chief for free. In order to keep this position firm, Zhao Zhigao worked very hard. He had previously heard that the incident had caused chaos and directly suggested that the governor of the three sides be in charge of the war and mobilized all military forces on the three sides to attack the enemy. He must not let the enemy have the opportunity to lead the Mongolian cavalry into the frontier to help. He was urgently in power, so he asked Wei Xue to temporarily take charge of all military and political power. Now he is afraid that his power will not be dedicated, so local generals keep mobilizing them. He asked Wei Xue Zeng to give him the sword to enhance his power and proposed to send military supervisors to supervise him.
This suggestion is still feasible. The court has been governing military affairs for many years, but the military generals are too unusable or disobedient. Zhu Yijun is also well aware of this. It is not surprising that giving Shangfang swords can better control the generals with the power of life and death. There is nothing wrong with this, and it is possible to promise. It happened that Mei Guozhen wrote a letter to ask the army to supervise and agreed to it together.
Then, Zhao Zhigao thought that there must be a brave man under heavy rewards, and suggested offering a reward amount to inspire soldiers to fight the enemy bravely - kill Cheng'en's head and Xu Boyanshi; if he could capture Xian'er thieves and be granted the title of Shiqi; if he could capture Xian'er and worship father and son, he would reward 20,000 taels of silver, and he would be granted the title of General Longhu; if he captured Xian'er, he would be granted 10,000 taels of silver, and he would be granted the title of General Dragon and Tiger; if he captured Xian'er, Liu Dongyang, Xu Chao, Tu Wenxiu, he would be granted 10,000 taels of silver, and he would be granted the title of commander.
This is also possible. Zhu Yijun thought about it for a while and then approved it in the comment.
Then there is a memorial by Shi Xing, Minister of War. Shi Xing proposed that many of the generals on the nine sides were unusable, and asked the court to add more powerful soldiers from the mainland, such as Zhejiang soldiers and Miao soldiers going north to help with the war, or select other powerful generals to lead the troops to fight. The candidate he proposed was Li Rusong, the eldest son of Li Chengliang.
This made the Emperor Wanli a little embarrassed. Li Rusong was also a tough guy who was good at fighting. Moreover, compared to his father, the military aura was stronger, and he looked more like a pure soldier than a warlord. Li Chengliang was old and gradually became cunning, which was different from Li Rusong, a guy who was determined to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy.
Do you want it?
Zhu Yijun is hesitating.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! The three-border Governor Wei Xue once submitted a memorial to the border military newspaper!"
A young prisoner hurriedly ran over and knelt on the ground and said hurriedly. Zhu Yijun's eyes lit up and he immediately said, "Send it quickly!"
Suddenly, a military report was sent in, and Zhu Yijun hurriedly opened the fire seal and started reading quickly.
"Okay! OK! OK!"
Zhang Cheng raised his head in great surprise. He was even more surprised to find that the emperor's face suddenly became much rosy, and a strong light suddenly burst out from his dull eyes, as if he was extremely surprised!
