As the saying goes, before the soldiers and horses move, food and grass go first. Prince, this is definitely going to be a big fight.
As soon as the Korean memorial came out,
Liu Daxia felt a little anxious.
His relationship with Li Dongyang was also pretty good. He deliberately got closer to Li Dongyang after the court that day.
"Mr. Li Ge, there are still people in the world who are crying for food. In the past few months, droughts, earthquakes, and national conditions have been difficult. But Donggong is secretly saving money and raising war horses. Forget it, now it is clear that he will reserve grain in Datong. . This is not a war, so what is it? The cabinet just acquiesced?"
Mainly, Zhu Houzhao couldn't wait for him. It was already autumn and the 18th year of Hongzhi was coming, so he had to start preparations.
Things like war,
It's not like we issued a decree today and the army will march outside the Great Wall tomorrow, and it's not an airdrop of troops.
How can we have time if we don’t have a few months to provide logistical supplies?
So he should do what he should do.
It was one thing for others to treat Liu Daxia, a favored minister of the emperor, but Zhu Houzhao didn't care about him. Wei Bin withdrew as soon as he evacuated the Zhejiang side, but immediately sent another person there to calm the situation.
No matter what, Mei Kejia is still fine.
He did not deal with Liu Daxia because the emperor was in poor health, but not because he was afraid of Liu Daxia.
However, maybe Liu Daxia didn't think so. He felt that the Korean letter asking for grain storage in Datong was an obvious signal.
Mr. Li Ge has obviously aged compared to five years ago. The white hair on his head used to be thin lines in the black hair, but now it is also strands.
"The cabinet does not acquiesce... What should the cabinet do?" Li Dongyang threw this question back to Liu Daxia, "Donggong has always done things in the right way, raising war horses and collecting grain in Datong. These are good governance. Da Sima wants the cabinet to have an attitude. What should the cabinet’s attitude be? Does it disagree with His Highness’s efforts to collect grain in Datong?”
After all,
The prince is not that easy to deal with.
Everyone fucking talks about the cabinet first. Li Dongyang has become a little annoyed in recent years.
If you have the guts, go fuck yourself!
What's the use of talking to me.
"Aren't you worried, Mr. Li Ge? The day His Highness suddenly raises troops? On that day the cabinet will also have the same attitude?"
Li Dongyang was not very happy when he was asked like this, "Da Sima, as long as His Highness does not announce the use of troops, whether it is breeding horses or gathering grain, there is no problem. You cannot object easily. Or you can only tell the emperor, Please make your decision, Your Majesty."
About Liu Daxia,
This person is very strange. Anyway, it makes people think that his logic is illogical.
For example, when Emperor Xianzong wanted a map of Zheng He's voyages to the West, he went to the Ministry of War to ask for it. The Minister of the Ministry of War went back to look for it, but Liu Daxia, then a doctor in the Ministry of War, hid the map and said he could not find it.
And he said righteously, I hid it.
Then the Minister of the Ministry of War admired him and said that the public system of the country would soon belong to the public.
Just because you are awesome, my position will definitely be yours from now on.
What is this thing called?
Your boss wants to find pictures, but you think it’s wrong, so you hide them?
You, a doctor from the Ministry of War, which onion is this?
Then you think I'm not good enough and I have to kill myself?
I'm afraid he has been brainwashed to the bone by Confucianism, and his head is as hard as steel and is extremely stupid. ….
So Liu Daxia is not afraid of being blamed at all. He just wants to stop what he thinks is wrong, even if he does something in private. Isn't this the same as the Hidden Sea Map?
Now the prince's cunning has made Liu Daxia somewhat helpless.
Like what happened in Zhejiang, a eunuch was removed and a civil servant was sent.
However, Liu Daxia is still the Minister of War, and he also has his own scope of authority.
Unable to find support, he had no choice but to do it on his own.
In recent years, in Datong, Guyuan, Xuanfu and other places, many generals who have graduated from military academies are very eager to fight. They all call themselves disciples of the prince, and some are even arrogant and domineering.
There's nothing we can do about it.
Zhu Houzhao couldn't guarantee that those who went out were all good children, and there were noble children inside. How could he, a prince, know what these people were doing at all times.
As the Minister of War, Liu Daxia seems to be able to do something. He is planning.
The emperor has direct personal guards in the capital camp.
But most of the other armies are still under the control of the Ministry of War. This control is not about transfers, but the promotion of officers, the collection and distribution of grain and grass, etc.
So Liu Daxia thought of a trick.
At about this time, Zhu Houzhao was meeting Yang Yiqing in the East Palace.
From the tenth year of Hongzhi to the seventeenth year of Hongzhi, he has met too many historical celebrities, so he is a little numb now. His thoughts about the person in front of him are very simple.
He is a very capable person, but he may also be on the same line as Liu Daxia.
But Zhu Houzhao would not be so narrow-minded. Yang Yiqing had done nothing wrong at this time and it was unreasonable to randomly cause trouble for him.
"Your Majesty, Yang Yiqing, the governor of Shaanxi, is here to see His Highness the Crown Prince!"
Zhu Houzhao was older now. He was sitting on the main seat, turning over the things in his hands and glancing at him from the corner of his eye.
"Governor Yang has worked hard all the way from the northwest. You have done a great job at Shaanxi Guanmu Horse Farm in the past few years. In my heart, you, Yang Yiqing, have made great contributions."
Yang Yiqing was inspired after hearing this.
He had been in Shaanxi for many years. He was a high-ranking scholar and became a local official. After working hard for these years, he finally came into the sight of the prince again. How could he remain indifferent to the prince's praise?
"Thanks to the power of the Emperor and the talent and virtue of His Highness, Shaanxi Racecourse will finally improve. I dare not take credit for it."
"If you have merit, you have merit, and if you make mistakes, you have mistakes. I will never ignore the achievements of my ministers. This time I call you to the capital..." Zhu Houzhao put down the memorial in his hand, stood up, and also helped the kneeling person. Yang Yiqing said, "Firstly, it's for me to meet you, a capable minister in the northwest, and secondly, it's for you to be rewarded. Because of your merits, Liu Daxia, the Minister of War, recommended you to be the chief commander of the three northwest territories. What do you think?"
Yang Yiqing didn't dare to trust him.
Although the prince helped him, after standing up, he took a step back and bowed slightly to make way for the prince.
This question is also difficult to answer.
Although Yang Yiqing lives in the northwest, he is neither deaf nor blind. Doesn't he know about the rift between His Highness and Liu Daxia?
The prince asked this question at this time, could it be a simple question?
Accompanying the emperor is like accompanying a tiger. Although this emperor is still a prince, the relationship between Emperor Hongzhi and the prince is also known to officials far away in Shaanxi. ….
Although Yang Yiqing had a good relationship with Liu Daxia, he did not avoid war. According to historical records, he was also a person who led troops in battles.
"My wish is that it is my blessing to be able to patrol Shaanxi for the imperial court and to keep the horse farm for His Highness. I dare not think of taking credit and seeking rewards."
Almost every official is so honest and dedicated to the public good in front of the prince.
But the prince cannot really take these words seriously and regard these words as an evaluation of the quality of an official. They only represent their basic ability-to say the right things.
"In June, the Datong Prefecture came to report that the Tatars were camped thirty miles outside the pass. In July, the Xuanfu Prefecture came to report that the Tatars were robbing the pass. If you are appointed as the chief commander of these three sides, the Tatars If someone invades once, you will just play it like this?"
The test is coming.
The meaning of the prince's words is very obvious. You will definitely be dissatisfied if you just keep it in the future.
If the answer to this question is not good, Yang Yiqing, the chief controller of the three sides, should not think about it.
"I think that guarding the border town is the main task, but if the Emperor and His Highness have the will, I will definitely not be afraid to fight!"
"I know how to do what you do."
Zhu Houzhao picked up the memorial on the eucalyptus and walked out, and ordered Yang Yiqing to expel him, "Go down. After you go down, look for Liu Daxia, and tell him..."
The prince stopped and said, "Say, I
Thank him. Thanks to him, he recommended a competent trilateral commander-in-chief to the country. "
[By the way, the best one for reading and listening to books is @@, install the latest version. 】
The prince said this with a smile.
But Yang Yiqing's ears immediately heard a loud noise! The shock made his chest unable to calm down for a long time.
He immediately knelt down and said, "Your Highness, I, I, I... Although I was recommended by Liu Shangshu, I am the chief trilateral officer of the Ming Dynasty. I receive a salary from the emperor and receive great favor from the imperial court."
The smile on the prince's face also disappeared in time, and he only said indifferently: "I hope you remember what I said in the East Palace today."
This is the last sentence.
After the prince left, Yang Yiqing touched his palms and found that there was a lot of sweat!
If I had known that the prince was a wise ruler,
But when I really faced him, I felt the pressure.
Generally speaking, Zhu Houzhao was quite satisfied with Yang Yiqing's answer. At least he didn't try to persuade him that "soldiers are the most important thing for the country."
The memorial that Zhu Houzhao took was written by Wang Hua, the governor of Zhejiang.
Mei Kejia's method of inviting the king into the urn is a bit dangerous, as it will delay business.
Wang Hua was afraid that something would happen.
So I will recount the conversation with Mei Kejia that day one by one.
Zhu Houzhao remained silent after reading it.
The northwest has the troubles of the northwest, and the southeast has the crux of the southeast.
After Wang Hao arrived, he couldn't find the prince for a while. Finally, under the guidance of the eunuch, he found the prince sitting alone in the pavilion.
Twisting snacks in hand, admiring the lake.
The prince rarely does this alone.
Wang Hao was concerned and hurriedly stepped forward.
When Zhu Houzhao saw him coming, he directly handed the memorial in his hand to him, "You take a look first."
The most insightful part of this memorial is the four words Mei Kejia said: nameless and no surname.
After reading it, Wang Hao immediately understood why the prince behaved like this today.
"The Lord is worried about the humiliation of the minister, and His Highness is so worried about state affairs. It is the minister who is incompetent and cannot share the worries of His Highness."
"What are you guilty of? What does the matter in Zhejiang have to do with you?" Zhu Houzhao said indifferently, "Do you think I am discouraged? That is wrong. In fact, the matter in Zhejiang has developed into What happened today is not unexpected. Mei Kejia said that no one in Zhejiang wants to go against the prince, everyone just wants to make their own money."
"This is actually wrong. Some of the money they should not earn, bribing the government, buying off officials, how can this kind of business be the money they should earn? Mei Kejia's method of inviting the king into the urn is very good. If you ask me, Wang Hua is still timid. Son. Come and write and write a letter to Wang Hua, instructing him to follow the imperial decree and see how the officials in these places divide the money of Mei Kejia and Wei Bin!"
"Originally, I thought that since Wei Bin is an internal official, we can just escort him back to the capital and try it ourselves. Now it seems, hey, it's better not to be too smart and ruin this big drama. Just try it locally, with Wang Hua as the presiding judge, the chief envoy and the prosecutor. Deputy Judge, finish the review and hand over the papers. I want to see what they can do for the money this time!"
