I'm really not the carpenter emperor

In his reply letter, he rebuked the plight of the Mongolian Han court after the Ming and Yuan Dynasties, and encouraged Lin Dan Batur to form an alliance with Hou Jin to jointly crusade against the country and carve up the Han family.

Although Daming suffered a crushing defeat in the Battle of Sarhu, after all, a lean camel is bigger than a horse, and Lin Dan Batur has no intention of repairing with Hou Jin at all.

On the contrary, he also detained Shuose Ubash, the post-gold envoy.

Today is different from the past, and the tense has changed dramatically. Lin Danbatur has to believe that the Ming Dynasty is gradually declining, but the Jurchen barbarians who came out of the black water in the Baishan Mountains are fighting more and more courageously, constantly encroaching on the land of Liaodong, and claiming to be a sweat for the founding of the country!

But at this time, the conflict between the Chahar Ministry and the Jurchen was irreconcilable.

In addition to this, the main reason is that Lindan Batur, a golden blood, looks down on Nurhachi, a barbarian who built a state.

To surrender to Daming is because he is really strong.

But what do you have after gold?Nurhachi, now known as the Jurchen Great Khan, was just a slave of Li Chengliang's in the past!

After careful consideration, Lindan Batur decided to implement the policy of "Uniting Ming Dynasty to fight against gold".

However, the Chahar tribe was also impoverished at this time, and it had the name of most of them, but it was not enough to fight against the Jurchen. The rebellion of Neikalkha and Horqin also made the influence of the Chahar Khan court much worse than before.

In order to obtain the "reward silver" from Ming Dynasty, Lin Dan Batur decided to gather several small tribes attached to Chahar and invaded from the border of Datong.

Let's get some money from Daming, who has a big family and a big business, and let's talk about it after we get over the difficulties!

Naturally, no matter what the purpose of "Lin Dan Khan" is, Zhu Youxiao can hardly tolerate his plundering of the people of Datong.

But as an emperor, you have to consider the overall situation.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youxiao let go of his previous impulse, sat back on the throne, and muttered.

Lin Danhan's entry into the bandits this time is nothing more than because Chahar has fallen into poverty and came here to grab some money and people so that he can survive this winter safely.

You know, every winter, Mongolia has to come down to dig grass valleys, otherwise they would easily die on their grassland.

In fact, the current Chahar and Daming are actually a bit cold-hearted.

The current Chahar Khan Court is more or less influential in the whole Mongolia. Among the Mongolian tribes in Monan, until now, only Neikhalka and Horqin have openly opposed Chahar.

Others have not yet made up their minds, which means that they can also pull these vacillating Monan tribes under the wings of Daming to deal with Jiannu together.

It is not a wise move to sit back and watch Jiannu wipe out Chahar. In Zhu Youxiao's view, the most wise decision is to be lenient and pardon Lindan Batur's invasion.

The courtiers are naturally unaware of Emperor Tianqi's thoughts.

They were all filled with righteous indignation and condemned Chahar's invasion of Datong. Zhu Youxiao sat on the top and stared at the memorial in his hand:

"The commander-in-chief of Datong said that the Chahar tribe was coming fiercely, and the border town was destroyed in a day, and the court asked the court to increase its troops..." Playing with this memorial, Zhu Youxiao snorted coldly, and said:

"Datong Town has 80 old soldiers, with 48 taels of salary per year. In the [-]th year of Wanli, another [-] soldiers were added at various passes. Think about it for me. How much was the salary paid last year?"

"120 taels!"

With that said, Zhu Youxiao threw the memorial to the ground and said:

"Such a huge amount of money is paid to support these [-] wastes who were thrown away by the Mongols! Tell me, is this a soldier or a general?"

On the side, Wei Zhongxian immediately guessed the meaning of the emperor, and then said:

"Returning to Your Majesty, the imperial court distributes more than 100 million taels of silver to Datong every year. Who knows whether it is actually in the hands of every soldier?"

As soon as this remark fell, it immediately aroused discussions among civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty.

The cabinet minister Wei Guangwei said seriously: "Could it be that Zhang Da, the commander-in-chief of Datong, withheld the military pay from the imperial court?"

Wei Zhongxian nodded, and said to Emperor Tianqi:

"The servant's fan also has a secret report, saying that Zhang Da's skill in abandoning the city and fleeing when he met Chahar's cavalry is a must..."

"In the court, where do you have the right to speak?" Zhu Youxiao didn't accept the favor, and cast a cold glance at him, then turned around and said:

"Cui Aiqing, you are the Secretary of the Ministry of War, what do you think of this matter?"

All the ministers thought it was inconceivable that it was a good thing that Wei Zhongxian had been criticized, but the emperor believed what he said just now.

Cui Chengxiu hurriedly stood up to smooth things over, saying:

"I feel that Zhang Da, the commander-in-chief of Datong, was as fearful of the enemy as a tiger, and his ineffectiveness in fighting caused the Mongolian cavalry to drive straight into the hinterland of Datong. It is an unforgivable crime."

"According to the law, I should take it back to the capital and dismiss it for investigation...?"

Having said that, Cui Chengxiu closed her mouth tactfully, waiting for Emperor Tianqi to make a ruling.

Zhu Youxiao laughed, and knocked on the imperial case with his middle finger: "The court's salary is wasted, and you have lost such a battle, so you will be dismissed and investigated?"

"In my opinion, it's better to cut it off!"

"Cut, cut?"

Cui Chengxiu wiped off his sweat, saw the change in the emperor's face, and saw Wei Zhongxian wink, and hurriedly changed his words: "Your Majesty is wise, that crime is heinous, that's how it should be!"

Zhu Youxiao nodded, and changed the subject, when the officials were still in a daze, he said: "The tiger is on the verge of attacking the rabbits, I have another plan."

"Let's retreat if there is nothing to do!"

After the emperor said this, several military ministers suddenly became energetic. Damn, they almost forgot today's business!

Wei Guangwei, who had just returned, stood up again in a blink of an eye and said:

"Your Majesty, I have the original performance!"

Zhu Youxiao, who had already got up and planned to go back to the palace, gave him a sideways glance, which made Wei Guangwei's heart shudder, and then sat back and said lazily:

"speak--"

"I believe that your Majesty has been on the throne for two years, and there are frequent famines in various places this year. You should go to Fengyang to pay homage to the imperial mausoleum, and pray for the prosperity of our country and the people in the coming year!"

"The ministers all feel that His Majesty should pay homage to the imperial mausoleum at this time, and he can also inspect places along the way to calm people's hearts and stabilize the situation!" The cabinet leader Gu Bingqian also stood up and said.

After the two finished speaking, many courtiers also came out and echoed in unison.

Faced with this kind of thing, Emperor Tianqi, who had never been out of the capital since the Southwest Conquest, seemed a little unwilling, and said with a frown:

"It's enough to pay homage to the ancestral temple in Beijing... Is it necessary?"

Naturally, Wei Guangwei knew that the emperor was acting, that is to say, he was also the film emperor, knelt down on the ground, and cried out loudly: "Your Majesty, famines frequently occur in the country this year, and there are rumors everywhere."

"If you don't pay homage to the imperial mausoleum and inspect the place, it will be difficult to stabilize the hearts of the people!"

Seeing his appearance, Zhu Youxiao felt chills, this Wei Guangwei really deserved to be the backbone of the Donglin Party in the past, and he acted in a way.

If I hadn't arranged this matter, I would have been really moved by this guy.

Chapter 2 The Apocalypse Emperor Forced to Tour the South

Zhu Youxiao's yellow boots tiptoed on the ground, paused slightly, and turned his toes. Despite the discussions among the officials, he still didn't say a word.

At this time, Feng Quan, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, stood up and played loudly:

"I heard that there are many evil parties of the White Lotus Sect in the Shandong and Henan areas, and they are free to criticize or criticize. If there are different words in the rumors, there must be words that slander the dynasty!"

"Your Majesty's personal visit this time, in addition to paying homage to the imperial mausoleum, should also carry out investigations and inspections, stop evil words, and correct people's hearts and uphold customs!"

"Extremely!" Wei Guangwei agreed:

"Feng Shilang's words are very true. Therefore, since the Yuan Dynasty, the evil parties of the White Lotus Sect and the Wenxiang Sect have harmed the world, and many people have been deceived by not hearing it!"

"In this eventful autumn, the imperial court must stabilize the hearts of the people and stop evil spirits!"

"This..." Zhu Youxiao still seemed a little hesitant.

"Your Majesty!" Gu Bingqian woke up sharply and said:

"The matter has come to this point, Your Majesty's southern tour is imperative, and please don't shirk your Majesty's livelihood for the people of the world!"

Zhu Youxiao sized up the ministers of the "eunuch party" who were on the scene, and then looked at the officials of Donglin, headed by Han Yu, who were all silent, and said with a sneer:

"In this case, let the military computer room and the Ministry of Rites arrange the southern tour!"

Who can stand here without two brushes?

It has been two years since the Tianqi court, and someone like Yang Lian who dared to speak without knowing the importance has either been beaten to the end, or sank into the house and drowned in the lake.

The current batch of Donglin civil servants in the Maoqin Palace were actually left by Zhu Youxiao on purpose to check and balance Wei Zhongxian's so-called eunuch party.

In addition to them, there is also the Qi Party headed by Wen Tiren and other local hard-working factions, which is quietly making a comeback, which is also secretly manipulated by Zhu Youxiao.

No matter what party or faction, it is not a good thing for a family to dominate the court.

In the Ming Dynasty, multi-party court disputes were not only a feature, but also a means for the emperors of all dynasties to check and balance the court. Only when they fought, the emperor could leisurely be the referee.

"There is nothing important, let's go!"

Receiving the emperor's wink, Wei Zhongxian took a step forward, looked down at the officials, and said in a strange tone: "Everyone, slow down, don't fall."

Hearing the last sentence, Han Yu looked back at Wei Zhongxian, didn't say anything, just turned around again, and walked in front of the officials.

……

Not long after the court was over, Han Yu returned to Wenyuan Pavilion and saw that many ministers were already waiting here. He sighed and sat down in his seat.

As soon as they were seated, everyone in the pavilion got up and said respectfully:

"Ge Lao--"

"Sit down, sit down."

Han Yu waved his hand, glanced at Wenyuan Pavilion, and said:

"This court meeting, His Majesty's southern tour, the military computer room and the Ministry of Rites are already handling it. What we want to discuss is the matter of Chahar's Lin Danbatur's entry into Datong."

"Everyone tell me what to do..."

"In this matter, His Majesty's holy will must be considered first." The second assistant Gu Bingqian cupped his hands in the direction of Qianqing Palace, and was the first to say:

"Your Majesty has already expressed his position at the court that he wants to unite with Mongolia to fight against Jin. The court must adopt a gentle attitude towards the Chahar Ministry and should not be too aggressive."

"Don't push too much, I agree with that." Someone snorted coldly and said:

"But his Chahar tribe invaded Datong and took away [-] to [-] frontier people, as well as countless supplies of cattle and sheep. Is this enough?"

Gu Bingqian glanced sideways, and found that the speaker was Sun Dingxiang, the left deputy capital censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Sun Dingxiang, a member of the Donglin Party, was a Jinshi in the 26th year of Wanli. He was first awarded as an official in the Songjiang Prefecture of Nanzhili.

After that, in the first year of Tianqi, he served as the head of the Military Selection Department of the Ministry of War, the head of the Host and Guest Department of the Ministry of Rites, Wai Lang, a member of the Jixun Department of the Ministry of Officials, the Shaoqing of Guanglu Temple, and the Shaoqing of Taichang Temple.

In the second year of Tianqi, Wei Zhongxian overturned the three major cases and cleared Donglin, resulting in a large vacancy of court officials. Sun Dingxiang was recalled to the capital and served as the left deputy capital censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

"Has the headquarters ever said to leave it like this?"

Gu Bingqian didn't have the magnanimity and capacity that Han Yu had when he was the second assistant, so he immediately went back with sarcasm, stopped looking at Prime Minister Sun Ding, and said to himself:

"Your Majesty's meaning is the direction of the imperial court's decision-making!"

"It's true... But what Sun Yushi said just now, although it is plain, there is some truth." Seeing that Sun Ding's face was red, Han Yu stepped forward and ended, saying:

"What do you guys think?"

After all, Han Yu is still the chief assistant of the cabinet, and has a high reputation in the court.

At present, the imperial power is at its peak, and the power of the cabinet is divided by the military computer room. It is not as good as before, but the prestige is still there. Gu Bingqian also has to consider why Emperor Tianqi still keeps this old Donglin Pavilion in the position of chief assistant.

He had to give this face, so he snorted coldly and stopped talking.

Cui Chengxiu, Minister of the Ministry of War, was a speculator. He had an idea in his heart, and the audience buzzed about it, but no one came forward to offer any constructive suggestions. He made up his mind and said:

"Your Majesty's intention is to win over Chahar and use it for the imperial court, so as to contain the Jian captives in Liao."

"In the battle of Guangning, the stupid Wang Huazhen insisted on going his own way, and lost 13 elite troops, which almost caused Guangning to fall, making a big mistake. The court has different opinions on whether to abandon the pass."

"It's still His Majesty who is arbitrary and supports Xiong Tingbi. That's why we have today's Gyeonggi without the police, China and the North Korea, and the land of Liao and Shen.

After all, Cui Chengxiu is the minister of the Ministry of War, and he has a great say in the border war strategy. Everyone had to listen carefully to his speech.

I saw him knocking on the table with one hand and making gestures with the other.

"Xiong Tingbi is not Wang Huazhen, and the headquarters is not the same Zhang Heming back then!"

"In Monan Mongolia, the Horqin tribe and the Jianlu tribe are close relatives by marriage, and all the tribes of Neikarka have turned to Houjin and voluntarily joined them. Instead of spending energy to win them over, it is better to give some gifts and let Chahar The other departments are used by the imperial court."

"The Chahar tribe invaded mainly because they were impoverished, and it's already winter this year. They just asked for rewards. Why don't we give them the rewards directly?"

As soon as the words fell to the ground, the ministers talked a lot.

Sun Dingxiang laughed loudly: "Cui Chengxiu, you said that you are not Zhang Heming, but from the headquarters, you are not even as good as that Zhang Heming!"

"He, Zhang Heming, can at least admit that he doesn't know how to fight, but you feel good about yourself. What's the difference between you and Wang Huazhen?!"
