Tie Xuan was inspecting the military prison in the Dudu Mansion. Some officers and soldiers dared to rob civilian girls because of their honor and dignity. And this happened at the feet of the emperor, during the period of hot filial piety!
If execution is not punished, it will not be enough to shock people.
But Tie Xuan also knew that behind those officers and soldiers stood the second-largest figure in martial arts:
Li Jinglong!
Li Jinglong was the son of Li Wenzhong, King of Qiyang, and Li Wenzhong was Zhu Yuanzhang's only biological nephew. He was even regarded as his son by Zhu Yuanzhang and changed his name to Zhu Wenzhong.
Zhu Yuanzhang was Li Jinglong's uncle, Zhu Di and other vassal kings were Li Jinglong's cousins, and Jianwen Emperor Zhu Yunwen was his cousin. How could such a person be something that he, a small fifth-grade governor, could resist!
But Tie Hyun was unwilling to give in!
Therefore, in the judgment document, Tie Xuan issued an order to kill him!
Perhaps, it won't be long before Li Jinglong will send someone to come to question him, and even arrange for officials to impeach him, ending up in an embarrassing situation.
But I, Tiexuan, have a clear conscience!
There was movement outside the door. Tie Hyun straightened his back proudly and stared in the direction of the door.
Si Wangui, a passerby, walked into Tie Xuan's room holding the imperial edict and shouted: "There is an edict."
Tie Xuan quickly stood up and knelt down, and other attendants also knelt down.
Some people thought Tie Xuan was unlucky and were secretly happy, but listening to the content of the imperial edict, it seemed that was not the case.
Tie Xuan was also a little confused when he heard "promoting the left minister of the Jin Military Department".
The fifth-grade self suddenly became a third-grade official?
It was not until after Wan Gui finished reading that Tie Xuan accepted the order to thank him, full of doubts.
Wan Gui stepped forward and congratulated: "Tie Shilang can be said to have reached the sky in one step. I congratulate you, sir."
Tie Xuan knew that he was trying to please him, so he wiped it with his hands and gave it to Wan Gui with only a few taels of silver.
Wan Gui's mouth twitched, but he couldn't dislike it, so he accepted it with the belief that no matter how small the mosquito was, it was still flesh. Besides, Tie Xuan was obviously favored, and it didn't look good even if it was stiff, so he chatted for a few words and left in a hurry.
What needs to be mentioned is that in many TV dramas of later generations, the eunuchs were always responsible for conveying imperial edicts. When they arrived at the minister's mansion, they said something like "You have been promoted" or "You are finished" in a thin voice.
Or go to the concubine and shout "Be thrown into the cold palace", which seems cool and majestic, but in the Ming Dynasty, it was not realistic.
In the Ming Dynasty, a special yamen was responsible for delivering edicts, called "Xingrensi", which was a department responsible for delivering the emperor's edicts.
Zhu Yuanzhang was very clear about the position of eunuchs, that is, "to sweep and sweep, and to give orders, unless there are special appointments, and not to give too many orders."
In a word, eunuchs are just domestic slaves.
Of course, for example, the internal eunuchs read out in the court hall, conveyed oral instructions, or the emperor appointed eunuchs to deliver edicts, etc., the external affairs were mainly handled by the public affairs department.
Tie Xuan was promoted and naturally needed to report to the Ministry of War. Ru Yu, Minister of the Ministry of War, welcomed Tie Xuan's arrival. After greeting him for a while, he arranged for Tie Xuan to enter the palace.
"The emperor has sent a message, asking you to enter the palace after settling in."
Ru Jin looked at Tie Xuan with relief.
Ru Jin was very sure of Tie Xuan's talent, especially since Tie Xuan was only in his early thirties at this time and was a young man with a promising future.
Tie Xuan respected Ru Ru very much. As early as the Hongwu Dynasty, Ru Ru served as the right deputy censor of the capital, and later acted as the Minister of the Ministry of War. Because of his outstanding work, he was officially appointed as the Minister of the Ministry of War by Zhu Yuanzhang.
Although he was only forty years old, Tie Xuan treated this "veteran" with great respect.
"Lord Ru, I wonder why the emperor transferred me to the Ministry of War?"
Tie Xuan didn't understand.
After all, in the officialdom, there were not many officials like him who jumped up directly, and those people were either recommended by others or trusted by the emperor.
Recommend?
I don't know the cabinet ministers, nor the officials of the six ministries. When I work in the governor's house, I have offended a lot of people. I believe no one is willing to recommend me.
Confidant?
Although I have met the emperor, the emperor has not seen me.
With so many people in the court, who would care about a small fifth-rank official, who barely has the qualifications to go to court.
Standing outside the main hall, no one would even know if he took a nap.
Ru Yu looked at Tie Xuan, smiled, and said, "Compared to you, I only received the news an hour earlier. I heard that the emperor thinks highly of you. If you have any doubts, you might as well tell the emperor directly."
"In that case, I will pay my respects to the emperor, Lord Ru, and take my leave."
Tie Xuan stood up, bowed and left.
Zhu Yunwen was drawing a map of the world in the compartment of Wuying Hall and strictly ordered that no one should enter the room at any time without his permission.
Shuangxi had no choice but to wait outside the door, not knowing what Zhu Yunwen was doing in the room.
After Tie Xuan arrived and informed him, Zhu Yunwen came out and asked Tie Xuan to come in. After giving him a seat, Zhu Yunwen asked with a smile: "Is Tie Aiqing confused?"
Tie Xuan nodded repeatedly and said, "I am terrified and uneasy, and I am deeply afraid of living up to the grace of the Holy One."
Zhu Yunwen laughed and said: "What does this mean? You will be the Minister of War in the future. I am very confident in your ability. I came to you this time for one thing."
Tie Xuan raised his brows and felt excited.
I didn't understand the hidden meaning of "I will be the Minister of the Ministry of War in the future". I only felt that I would be promoted to the Minister of the Ministry of War in a few years!
"Please give me your permission, Your Majesty."
Tie Xuan said.
Zhu Yunwen asked: "You are in the Governor's Mansion, so you must also know the news about the reduction of 100,000 troops. Do you think there is anything wrong with my order?"
Tie Xuan looked at Zhu Yunwen, hesitated, and finally said: "I think the emperor's move is both appropriate and inappropriate."
"Haha, don't worry, tell me in detail, I won't blame you."
Zhu Yunwen gave Tie Xuan a reassurance.
Tie Xuan solemnly replied: "Your Majesty, reducing the army by 100,000 can save a lot of materials and military pay, which is beneficial to the country. And the quota of 100,000 may seem like a large number, but it will not shake the strength of the Beijing camp. It will eliminate the old and weak. With an empty space.”
"You understand my plan, so what's wrong with it?"
Zhu Yunwen asked.
Tie Xuan said bluntly: "With the reduction of 100,000 troops, the people who suffer the most are the nobles of the country. Once they are dissatisfied, trouble may occur. This is one of them. At present, the vassal king is outside, holding heavy troops and displaying frontier fortresses, and he is good at fighting. Master, the emperor is weakening the strength of the capital camp at this time. If the vassal king becomes powerful and endangers the capital, there may be many more disturbances..."
"Oh, do you think the feudal king will rebel?"
Zhu Yunwen asked with interest.
Tie Hyun was silent.
This question is very important and difficult to answer.
You must know that these vassal kings are all members of Zhu Yunwen's family. He said that they would rebel, but he had no evidence and was talking nonsense. How could he convince the emperor?
But if they say they won't rebel, Tie Xuan thinks it's impossible.
Especially the current leader of the vassal kings, King Zhu Di of Yan. Although his ambition is not obvious yet, we can still get a glimpse of it.
It can be determined from the fact that Zhu Yunwen used a posthumous edict to stop Zhu Di and not allow Zhu Di to go to Beijing for the funeral. Zhu Yunwen also believed that Zhu Di was rebellious.
Tie Xuan sighed and replied solemnly: "Your Majesty, among the kings of Sai, the only ones who are ambitious are King Yan, King Ning, and King Qin. Among them, King Yan and King Ning are the most ambitious. Although I dare not say for sure, but according to the I speculate that if the move to reduce the vassal status continues, King Yan may take action within two years."
Zhu Yunwen took a deep breath and secretly praised:
What a powerful Teohyun!
According to the rhythm of history, Zhu Yunwen began to reduce the vassal status in August of the 31st year of Hongwu, and Zhu Di rebelled in June of the first year of Jianwen. It took two years, but in fact it was less than a year!
Although Tie Xuan was working in the Governor's Mansion, he did not just focus on the prison matters in his eyes, but looked around the country.
Such a person has the gaze of a prime minister!
Zhu Yunwen secretly marveled at what a bastard Zhu Yunwen was in history. He didn't know how to appoint wise ministers, he only knew how to use a few nerds, and missed several opportunities to defeat Zhu Di.
If Tie Xuan, Sheng Yong, Ping An, Xu Huizu and others were reused, Zhu Yunwen could conclude that Zhu Di would not be able to reach the capital at all!
"My reduction of 100,000 troops is just the beginning. The strategy of elite troops not only depends on the physical fitness of individual soldiers, but also on their beliefs, armament, logistics and other aspects. I brought you to the Ministry of War because I hope you can take on the responsibility of Beijing. The important task of training battalion recruits.”
Zhu Yunwen looked at Tie Xuan seriously.
During the Zhu Yuanzhang period, the Fifth Army Governor's Office was set up to take charge of the army. However, in order to prevent the Fifth Army Governor's Office from having too much power and the generals taking exclusive power, it was stipulated that although the Five Army Governor's Office had the power to command troops, it did not have the power to dispatch.
The power of dispatch was restored to the emperor.
The Ministry of War has the power to appoint, remove, promote, and train the military, but it does not have the power to command troops.
At the beginning, the Governor's Office of the Fifth Army was very powerful, and the Ministry of War was not even worthy of being a junior, and was directly ignored. Later, Zhu Yuanzhang revised it several times to "the power is not exclusive to one department, and the affairs are not left behind", which weakened it. It is said that the Commander-in-Chief of the Fifth Army has given certain rights to the Ministry of War.
Although the Fifth Army Governor's Office is bound to be involved in training new recruits, it is the Ministry of War that is in charge.
Tie Xuan finally understood Zhu Yunwen's thoughts, stood up, straightened his body, and solemnly shouted: "I will live up to God's grace!"
Zhu Yunwen took a document from the table, handed it to Tie Xuan, and said: "Here is the policy for new recruits that I have drawn up. You should study it carefully when you go back. I want a complete and feasible training plan. This matter can be discussed with the Ministry of War. , Wei Guogong and others discussed."
Tie Xuan left after saluting, returned to the military department, and put the documents on the table, somewhat disapprovingly.
What strategies does the emperor know about military training?
To train new recruits, we still need to rely on the collective efforts of the Ministry of War and the Fifth Army Commander's Office to come up with solutions together.
After all, it is the fruit of the emperor's labor. If you don't take a look at it, you will be sorry for the emperor's hard work. Tie Xuan didn't hold out much hope. He opened the document and took a look at it. He stood up immediately. The more he looked at it, the more solemn his face became. Finally, he slapped the table. Shouting: "Your Majesty, you are a man of God!"
Ru Yu frowned, glanced at Tie Xuan, and said to herself, even if you want to please the emperor, you shouldn't be in the lobby of the Ministry of War, right?
Unexpectedly, Tie Xuan quickly ran over with the document and handed it to Ru Ru.
Ru Yu looked at it, looked at it again and again, stood up suddenly, slammed the table, and shouted: "Your Majesty, you are a man of God!"
