Chapter 31: Summoning the Right (seeking a monthly ticket)

The palace maids and eunuchs originally existed on imperial power. As long as the emperor is a little stronger, the affairs of the harem will never allow a eunuch or an old woman to take power.

This time, Ke Shi was directly killed, and some palace maids and eunuchs who were killed were closer to Wei Zhongxian. The death of these people reminded the remaining palace people that there was a change of master in the palace now.

In addition, after Xiao Sheng arranged for the people in the past, they were placed in some vital places, most of the hidden dangers in the palace were eliminated.

The other half is naturally because Wei Zhongxian is still here.

In fact, without Keshi Wei Zhongxian, he lost most of his spy in the harem. He originally borrowed Keshi to take over, but now Zhu Youxiao returns to heaven, Keshi is dead, and there is no help from the two palaces.

He felt the threat and the danger.

However, after some thought, he found that he could not change anything. Even though Zhu Youjian has not truly ascended the throne yet, he is already the emperor. Only by gaining the support of the emperor can he continue to gain power.

After being a eunuch for so many years, he still understands this truth, so he decided to remain calm during this period.

On August 12, the seventh year of Tianqi, Zhu Youjian ordered Wang Chengen to be the admiral of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, to take charge of the four guards of Tengxiang and to the admiral of the Beijing camp.

Ma Dayong, the former Jinyiwei family, was promoted to Jinyiwei, and was promoted to Qianyiwei family.

The positions of the Jinyiwei and the Admiral and the Eunuch are both internal officials that the emperor can appoint at will, so they do not need to go through the outer court.

On August 22, Zhu Youjian officially ascended the throne. On the same day, he summoned Sun Chengzong, Yuan Chonghuan and Sun Chuanting to the palace to report.

In historical records, these three people were once a general. Even if they could not expand their territory and recover lost territory, they still had the ability to defend and defend.

All three of them resigned from their posts and returned to their hometown because of Wei Zhongxian's exclusion. They are now at home with idleness. They were notified to be summoned by the new emperor a few days ago and were already waiting in the capital yesterday.

When they met Zhu Youjian, the three of them thought that the emperor was too young.

"Please sit down, the three of you," Zhu Youjian, who was sitting in the main seat, said with a smile.

"Thank you Your Majesty!" The three of them looked at each other after hearing this, thanked each other together, and then sat down.

Zhu Youjian continued: "Today, the three people are summoned to come, with only one purpose, to talk about the internal and external troubles of our Ming Dynasty, and to discuss strategies for dealing with them. Mr. Zhisheng, let's talk about it first."

When Sun Chengzong heard this, he was about to get up and say the answer, but when he saw Zhu Youjian gesture to him to sit down, he spoke in his seat: "

When I return to Your Majesty, I have served as the governor of Ji Liao and have a good understanding of all things in Liaodong, so I used this as a saying.

In today's Liaodong situation, we should focus on defense and slowly plan it.

The Jurchens of the Later Jin Dynasty were all evildoers, who rode horses and galloped like fire, but the Ming cavalry was not as good as the enemy. They could not stand head-on for the enemy. They could defend Guanning for a generation, first occupy the right gate, build the Daling River, and then step by step.

At this time, the Later Jin Dynasty was in full swing, and the Ming Dynasty should train a new army, rest and recuperate, stockpile food and grass, and wait for an opportunity to move."

Sun Chengzong's suggestion was to build a city, proceed step by step, focus on defense, but it was not to give up on offense, but to avoid its edge and look for opportunities before taking action.

Zhu Youjian did not make any comments, but just nodded, looked at Yuan Chonghuan, and asked, "Mr. Element, let's talk about it."

Yuan Chonghuan replied proudly: "Your Majesty, Caomin has also worked in Liaodong, but it is different from what Mr. Zhisheng thinks. Caomin believes that if Your Majesty is in a position of convenience and everything goes well, and the Ministry of Construction can be pacified in five years, and the entire Liao can be restored!"

Zhu Youjian conducted some research on Yuan Chonghuan's "Five-Year Palm of Liao" plan while discussing with Xiao Sheng, and combined the opinions of the two of them with their own opinions from the comments of modern historians.

It is not entirely unrealistic to think that such a strategy is not completely unrealistic.

However, at that time, Chongzhen could not provide enough support for money and food, and could not do so without doubt.

Yuan Chonghuan was not perfect. When he was governor of Liaodong, he did several wrong things such as killing Mao Wenlong, so he was suspicious of Chongzhen and was later dismissed from his post and executed.

But his contribution was also great. The Guanning Iron Cavalry later came from his hands and played an important role in resisting the Later Jin army in the early years of Chongzhen.

"Well, okay. Mr. Boya, what do you think?" Zhu Youjian nodded to Yuan Chonghuan, without commenting, and looked at Sun Chuanting.

Sun Chuanting heard this and said, "Your Majesty, I have never participated in all matters in Liaodong, nor have I had the experience of leading troops to fight. However, I see that there are constant disasters in Shanxi, bandits are rampant, and the people are displaced. If they are not managed, there may be civil changes. This is an internal worry.

If you want to eliminate external troubles, you must first be at peace. The people believe that disaster relief should be actively provided, labor service should be neglected, and the burden on the people should be reduced to peace of mind!"

"What you said makes sense. I am happy that you have all the Ming Dynasty. After you go back today, you will sort out what you said today and write a memorial, and present it to the palace in the morning tomorrow." Zhu Youjian still did not make a specific comment on the three people's remarks, but asked the three people to submit the memorial in the morning tomorrow.

The three of them are now civilians, so they should not be reported to the court.

But since it was the emperor's oral order, they naturally followed it.

After they left, Zhu Youjian immediately summoned Wei Zhongxian.

Wei Zhongxian had already learned that Zhu Youjian had summoned the three ministers who had been forced to resign from his post. At this time, he was also summoned, and he couldn't help but feel a little scared.

Did Zhu Youjian decide to do it at this time?

When Zhu Youjian truly ascended the throne, Wei Zhongxian had given up on the idea of ​​murdering the new king and only thought that he could save his wealth.

When he came in, he found Zhu Youjian looking at the glass mirror.

"Ephesian Wei is here, come on, look at this glass mirror is so beautiful, you can see it clearly!" Zhu Youjian waved to Wei Zhongxian and said.

He naturally pretended to be excited. He followed Xiao Sheng twice in modern times. He had seen all kinds of glass products. The entire building was wrapped in glass, which was much more shocking than this mere mirror.

"Your Majesty's heroic posture, this glass mirror can reflect the beauty of heaven, which is its blessing!" Wei Zhongxian praised.

Zhu Youjian smiled and said, "Eunuch Wei is really good at talking. No wonder the emperor's brother favors you so much."

Wei Zhongxian was so scared that he bowed directly when he heard this, saying, "I am grateful to the emperor for his favor!"

"Ephesian Wei, what are you doing? I agree with the words of the emperor, you are a useful person, get up quickly!" Zhu Youjian helped Wei Zhongxian up, then sat on a chair and looked at him.

When he grows old, people will be afraid of death when they grow old.

"I just summoned Sun Chengzong, Yuan Chonghuan and Sun Chuanting. After listening to their strategy, I thought that they were like the eunuch of Wei, who were all devoted to being a prosperous and powerful minister of the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, tomorrow I will arrange official positions for them, let them show their ambitions and be loyal to the Ming Dynasty. What do you think of Eunuch Wei?"
