Chapter 450

After seeing off the eunuch who was sent to the emperor, Zhao Xing wrote a memorial to the emperor overnight and handed it over. Then, at dawn on the second day, he immediately came to his father-in-law's bridge bureau.

The Bridge Bureau is not only the only auction house in the Ming Dynasty, but also the royal party headed by Zhao Xing. The royal party contacts and meetings are held here, and its status is equivalent to the Donglin headquarters of the Shoushan Academy in the capital.

When the son-in-law arrived, Gao Sheng was so surprised that he couldn't see the eyes. He smiled and greeted him with his identity. Then he looked at the group of Jinyiwei behind Zhao Xing, and knew that there was something important to discuss here today, so he ordered his friend to take a guise and said to Zhao Xing: "How big is the room you need?"

Zhao Xing looked up and down, and then said, "Please keep the entire backyard empty."

Gao Sheng immediately ordered to clean the backyard well, carry out one charcoal brazier after another, and prepare nervously.

After a while, there was a sound of horse hooves outside. Zhang Zhiji and his four brothers in Beijing came over, talking and laughing, casually greeted Gao Sheng, who was standing at the door, and asked: "My wife, is my brother-in-law here?"

Gao Sheng smiled and asked in: "Everyone is here, everyone is here, hurry up and go inside."

Then there were all the dukes and marquises. After everyone came in, they found that almost all the people who came here were soldiers and no civil servants, which made everyone feel that this matter was a bit big.

After meeting and greeting each other, everyone gathered around Zhao Xing, burning the fire while waiting for the following text.

Seeing that the people were almost there, Zhao Xing instructed Zhifeng: "Precaution the surroundings and don't let idle people come and disturb us."

Zhifeng agreed and went out to handle the matter. Zhao Xing then said to the back of the screen: "Please come out and chat together."

A hearty laugh came from behind the screen: "Our family is an outsider and I don't want to mix anything, for fear that everyone will be embarrassed when they come out."

Zhao Xing sneered: "Listen to the corner is the most annoying. Since I ask the emperor to send you, it will be open and upright. I am not like those so-called gentlemen who always act as thieves and prostitutes behind the scenes."

The reason why Zhao Xing has always been able to gain Chongzhen's trust and every time he wants to convene a meeting here, Zhao Xing has to ask one or two eunuchs to participate. The excuse is that the royal party meeting was the royal party. No one around the emperor participated, and he always felt that it was not worthy of his reputation.

In fact, Zhao Xing found someone to testify in order to avoid suspicion. Transparent, he was the first condition for making good friends and gaining the trust of his superiors.

Cao Huachun walked out from behind the screen and met everyone.

The appearance of Cao Huachun further strengthened everyone's understanding that this meeting was a military conference. At the same time, he also knew that there must be major issues regarding the military.

Because Cao Huachun's identity is very special.

Cao Huachun entered the palace at the age of twelve or thirteen. He was well-known in poetry, calligraphy and painting, and was highly appreciated by Wang An, the eunuch of the Sili. Later, he went to the palace of the King of Xin to accompany Zhu Youjian, and was very favored. He was jealous of evening self-study and sent to Nanjing. The evening self-study fell, Chongzhen summoned him back to preside over the rehabilitation of the unjust prison. Because he was so fair, he was deeply loved by all. Now in the palace, his status is very prominent.

This is the second most important thing. This is the most rare among eunuchs. Chongzhen was convinced by his remarks every time.

In the past, when I heard about the corners of the wall, it was Wang Hezhong, and the major matter was Wang Chengen, but today I sent the military soldiers, which is enough to show that the matter is discussed today and it is related to military affairs.

I don’t know what kind of tricks Zhao Xing is going to do this time.

But everyone knows that no matter what Zhao Xing does, it will only benefit and not harm to everyone, and everyone must not have the full support of principle.

After everyone sat down, Zhao Xing spoke indifferently: "I returned to Beijing the day before yesterday and got two news. One is that Donglin wants to increase Liao pay to solve the problem of military pay; the other is that the border troops are too disbanded. In order to solve this problem, the emperor intends to send military supervisors to supervise the troops in various places."

Everyone knows the first question. The court has been quarreling, but the second thing has not been reported at all. Now it is revealed, it is really shocking.

The ills of the Ming army supervision are really obvious to all. For this reason, both Donglin and generals from all over the country hate this. Therefore, after Wei Zhongxian fell, he took advantage of Emperor Chongzhen's efforts to govern and trust Donglin to completely overturn this system. But this time the emperor mentioned this matter again, but everyone didn't know what purpose it was. This was taking the old path and going back. This could not be supported.

When everyone saw everyone's expressions, they knew what everyone was thinking. Zhao Xing spoke up and patiently persuaded: "Everyone knows the disadvantages of military supervision, so I don't need to say more."

Everyone is so angry. Since you know the disadvantages of military supervision, why do you still need to support it?

Zhao Xing smiled indifferently and said, "But everyone often ignores the benefits of military supervision, and this advantage is very important to us generals."

Others dare not say it, but Zhang Zhiji dared to say it. He snorted: "I only see the disadvantages, but I have never seen the benefits. Brother-in-law, there is no need to blindly curry favor with our emperor, and you will lose your conscience and bring back the things that the generals in the world hate the most. At that time, you will become the public enemy of the generals in the world."

To put it bluntly, Cao Huachun just smiled faintly and did not comment.

This is one aspect of his heart, but at the same time his heart is just, which is the main thing.

There is no way to reopen the military supervision this time, because the current army is really too unreasonable. But this important task fell on his shoulders. He needed to listen to the opinions below, so as to do things fairly and fairly, and make everyone think it is a good thing to harm the country and the people.

Zhao Xing photographed his brother-in-law: "You are still young, so it's better to say less. Eunuch Cao is peaceful and tolerant, but it's not easy to bully. You must remember this in the future."

Zhang Zhiji snorted coldly and closed his mouth.

Zhao Xing stood up and analyzed the matter: "When I arranged to pursue Li Zicheng, the three-sided governor Sun Chuanting once told me that the border troops, except for the special few I had rectified, were now so bad. They were defending the border towns that cost thousands of miles away, there was no one who could be a rebellion."

This is the case, the central governor of the Five Army Governors Office, Duke Zheng, who is in charge of the Central Army, deeply felt: "The corruption of the state-owned army is obvious to all. Whether from the original garrison system or the current recruitment system, there is no way to do so."

Faced with the Duke of Zheng's attitude of being at ease, Zhao Xing corrected him: "This attitude is not good, and he actually found the disadvantages. We must be determined to reform and solve it, otherwise something big will happen. Just like the last time and this battle between the Gyeonggi, Mongolia has completely broken up with the Ming Dynasty and become accomplices of the Jurchens. They also let them see how weak the Ming Dynasty is.

Huang Taiji failed, his entire strength was heavily weakened, and he needed to breathe. So he ordered the Yanbian tribes of Mongolia to carry out uninterrupted attacks and harassment on the Ming border. The purpose was to restrain the Ming Dynasty's strength and attention, quickly restore his strength and gain time. For a time, the nine-sided land flew to the three-sided Governor's Office every day, and the battle reports of the Ji Liao Governor's Office were like snowflakes. The memorials they sent to Beijing were also filled with the cabinet of the Ministry of War and the emperor's desk, which was really shocked three times a day. The reason was that our army's combat quality was too poor, and I had no confidence in using such an army to protect our home."

Everyone understands him very much and sympathizes with him very much. Every time the Ming Dynasty court encounters a war, it needs the Jinyiwei command room to stand up, and an anti-corruption person commands the army. Not to mention that this is a bit funny. The most important thing is that human abilities are limited after all, and they always expect him to put out fires everywhere. After all, it is not a solution. At that time, it is inevitable that he will lose sight of one thing and cause trouble for him.

First of all, Zhao Xing was always not at home, which naturally delayed the reproduction opportunities of his descendants. According to this era and age, the children must be in one nest after another. As a result, his two wives barely promoted him to two.

Another point is that whether it is the emperor or the Donglin officials, including many Lao Cheng sitting here, they were vaguely worried in their hearts. They were worried that Zhao Xing's power would be too great and that he would eventually be too big. At that time, from the perspective of the emperor and the Donglin Party, it was a disaster for the court.

And from the hearts of the people here, it was Zhao Xing's disaster.

Now, both the court and the officials need Zhao Xing to put out the fire and fight the disaster for everyone, and everyone is happy that he will run around.

If the world is peaceful, everything will come out.

However, everyone understands Zhao Xing's current personality. If you want to defeat him in the future, unless he is willing, you will have no choice but to do anything to him.

So in the final analysis, rectifying the army and allowing various functional departments to do what they should do. On the plus side, don’t bother this adult anymore. To put it in the dark, it is to justify his power, reduce its influence, and let him stand aside.
