Daming: From the Son of Heaven to the Leader of Comprehensive Martial Arts

After all, in Yu Qian's eyes, there are only [-] horse bandits, and [-] elite cavalry can be sent to Liaodong to encircle and suppress them, and they can be completely wiped out.

The most important thing is to be sincere in admitting your mistakes to the emperor.

In the eyes of the cabinet, the nature of this matter has completely changed!

Liaodong horse bandits threaten Gyeonggi!

With such a large-scale horse bandit, all officials in the vicinity must be held accountable, including a group of generals, all of whom will be unlucky.

This is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that this incident will definitely involve a large group of people. At that time, there will be another big earthquake in the entire officialdom.

As cabinet ministers, what they have to do is to stabilize the court and then implement the policies issued by Zhu Qizhen.

But this time it's not a joke. 1 horse bandits attacked Xichang, which was enough to make the Minister of the Ministry of War lose his hat.

If the emperor was really cruel, he would go up to the Minister of the Ministry of War, then to the General Army of Liaodong, and down to the officials in charge nearby, all of them would die!

Endangering the emperor's safety!

This crime is enough to cause bloodshed for all relevant personnel.

"It's indeed a horse bandit. All the elders, that's what the secret reports sent back by Babaili Express and Xichang Fanzi all say."

Wei Zhongxian answered these cabinet ministers calmly.

Although the cabinet minister he was facing was a powerful figure in the Ming Empire, to Wei Zhongxian, he was no longer the cautious little eunuch he was before. The relationship between foreign and foreign courts is very good.

Internal and external collusion has always been a big taboo for emperors.

After Wei Zhongxian realized this, he would no longer have any good looks towards these ministers.

Seeing Wei Zhongxian's indifferent appearance, the cabinet elders were naturally unwilling to have too much communication with Wei Zhongxian. The cabinet and the inner court have always been fighting for power.

It is estimated that in their hearts, they are all scolding the dead eunuch and cutting off their children and grandchildren.

"Eunuch Wei, what is His Majesty's attitude this time?"

Yan Song looked down on these eunuchs, but he, an old man, did not directly show his face to the eunuchs like Xu Jie and Gao Gong.

This is not a good thing. These dead eunuchs are people around the emperor. It will be troublesome to tell stories in front of the emperor.

Seeing Yan Song treating him with a pleasant face, Wei Zhongxian didn't put on a show, and said with a light smile: "If you go back to Mr. Yan Ge, His Majesty just asked the slaves to call a few elders to clean up the m-face saint. The slaves don't know anything else. "

"A dead eunuch, no oil, no salt, no water leakage, with such a city at such a young age, he must be a person not to be underestimated in the future."

Yan Song had a smile on his face, mmp in his heart.

He wanted to find out the emperor's attitude first, but the dead eunuch refused to say anything, which was really annoying.

However, Yan Song, who was deep in thought, didn't say anything more. Turning his face against these ballsless dead eunuchs is asking for trouble.

. . . . . .

Chapter 61 The cabinet is fighting openly and secretly, civil servants and military generals are fighting openly and secretly

Yan Song and Xu Jie led the cabinet ministers and six ministers into the palace.

In fact, there is also a dispute between the first assistant and the second assistant in the cabinet. Yan Song and Xu Jie, a leader of a strict party and a leader of a clean party, have been secretly competing.

After all, who wants to be under others, and who doesn't want to be the top of the cabinet?

"Everyone, let's enter the palace and face the saint together."

Outside the Meridian Gate, Xu Jie, the second assistant to the cabinet, actively greeted his colleagues and walked into the palace together. In fact, he was invisibly elevating his status as the second assistant to the cabinet.

At least in a trance, it looked as if he, Xu Jie, was the leader.

"Yes, colleagues, this matter is of great importance, let's enter the palace with this pavilion."

Yan Song smiled slightly, how could he fail to see Xu Jie's careful thoughts.

At this time, he emphatically repeated Xu Jie's words, that he wanted to take back the initiative and told these court ministers that he, Yan Song, was the chief assistant of the cabinet.

And Xu Jie is only the second assistant, under him!

However, Xu Jie did not react to Yan Song's actions. After all, it is only natural that the chief assistant of the cabinet leads.

Just now, he was just testing Yan Song.

Since ancient times, literati have been light-hearted.

These civil servants have always been arrogant. From the bottom of their hearts, no one is convinced, and everyone wants to compete for the first place. Of course, Xu Jie also wants to be the position of the chief assistant of the cabinet.

The same is true for Gao Gong, Zhang Juzheng and others.

They probably don't want to sit in the position of chief assistant of the cabinet, but everyone knows that Yan Song has been in charge of the cabinet for 20 years, and his position is stable, and he is also the Minister of Gu Ming appointed by the former emperor and the first assistant of the cabinet, and now he is deeply trusted by the emperor , That's why everyone kept a low profile.

Otherwise, given the opportunity, which civil servant wouldn't want to be the top of the cabinet?

An extremely human minister, under one person, above ten thousand people.

To learn literary and martial arts, to be a master of goods and emperors, and to be the chief assistant of the cabinet, which scholar does not regard it as his lifelong ideal?

"Old Xu Ge, how do you think His Majesty will deal with the bandits in Liaodong this time? The West Factory was attacked. This time, the losses were heavy. Even Yuhuatian was seriously injured and almost died."

When Yan Song walked, he was half a body ahead of Xu Jie.

On the surface, this is only half a body distance, but it represents status, which is the difference between a leader and a subordinate.

Xu Jie naturally noticed Yan Song's movements.

He secretly increased the pace of his feet, and immediately leveled up with Yan Song, and replied: "I can't guess what your majesty is thinking, and I dare not make any guesses."

Having said that, Xu Jie smiled slightly, and continued: "However, I bet, this time His Majesty should send troops to conquer and wipe out the bandits."

"Hey, what Elder Xu Ge said is very true."

Yan Song smiled meaningfully, stroked his white beard, and sighed: "For more than a year, troops have been used everywhere, and troops have been mobilized repeatedly, which is not a good thing."

When the army is used more, the status of the military attache will naturally rise.

This is not good news for their civil servants. From Zhu Di's reign to Zhu Zhanji's reign, the status of civil servants has risen rapidly in the past few decades, and military officials are the kind who stand aside.

The entire court is under the control of civil servants.

However, since Zhu Qizhen took office, he has continuously used military generals and continued to fight against foreign countries. Although the war has brought a lot of wealth and land to Daming, there is also a faint trend.

Military generals break away from the trend of civilian suppression!

As long as the world is peaceful, it has been an unwritten rule of all dynasties to control martial arts with literature.

However, the current emperor is in charge, and although the civilian officials can still suppress the generals, the status of the two is no longer the same as that of the previous dynasty.

In the past, when those generals saw themselves as civil servants, who wouldn't respect them?

But now, each of them dared to fight with the civil servants with thick necks.

In Yan Song's eyes, this is not a good sign.

After hearing Yan Song's words, Xu Jie also fell silent. As a civil servant, he was also unwilling to see the rise of generals.

However, there are bandits in Liaodong, and it is impossible to expect civil servants with brushes to wipe them out. This is the most contradictory and most helpless place.

"Wait and see the changes, the community is the most important."

With a bitter face, Xu Jie sighed, said eight words to Yan Song, and stopped talking.

Hearing Xu Jie's words, Yan Song naturally understood what he meant, and nodded his head as well, regardless of other things, let's get rid of the banditry in Liaodong first.

This gang of horse bandits was so bold and reckless that they dared to attack Xichang.

This is the emperor's eagle dog, the emperor's arm!

Moreover, there are actually [-] horse bandits, such a huge number, how did they raise them?

When Yan Song heard the news for the first time, he felt a little unbelievable. This ten thousand horse bandits is not a small number. Although it is not a lot for the army of the Ming Dynasty, the problem is that these horse bandits haunt Liaodong, the core of the Ming Dynasty. Nearby, it's dangerous.

"The chief assistant of the cabinet is Yan Song, the second assistant of the cabinet is Xu Jie, the cabinet members are Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng, the minister of the Ministry of War is Yu Qian, the minister of the Ministry of Rites is Zhao Hengchen...Know Your Majesty, my emperor will live forever."

Looking at the important officials of the Ming Dynasty in front of him, Zhu Qizhen nodded and said: "Everyone is flat, this time I summoned all of you to enter the palace, why Wei Zhongxian must have said it?"

"My dear friends, what do you think of this matter?"

Zhu Qizhen is very unhappy now. Although Yuhuatian from Xichang is a little arrogant, but he is loyal to Zhu Qizhen, and he was injured in Liaodong this time...

It's up to the owner to beat the dog!

This is tantamount to angering Zhu Qizhen, there are still people who dare to provoke him, the emperor, and he is actually a bandit of ten thousand horses, if there is no court force or local tyrants behind this.

Who can believe it?

The emperor's question immediately made these ministers look at each other, and then everyone focused on Yan Song.

After all, this is the chief assistant of the cabinet and the head of all officials.

According to the rules in the officialdom, when the emperor asks a question, the leader always speaks first, and then the ministers with lower status will add, otherwise you will break the rules if you talk to me.

Of course, when there are disputes and troubles, it is different.

At this time, people with low official positions usually speak first, and then the bosses will add their opinions. If they make mistakes, the subordinates will be blamed, and if they have credit, it will be the bosses.

This time the Liaodong bandits attacked Yuhuatian, and things got a little big!

[-] horse bandits, this is not a joke, the one who attacked Xichang was tantamount to provoking the royal family and the court. If these people were not severely punished, the court and the emperor would lose face.

"Your Majesty Qizuo, the old minister thinks that we can send an army, whether it's the Shenji Battalion or the Assault Battalion, anyway, these horse bandits must be eliminated, and they must not be allowed to jump up and down like this."

Yan Song clapped his hands and answered.

Hearing Yan Song's suggestion, Zhu Qizhen felt a little dissatisfied.

Yan Song, an old fox, is clearly trying to make peace with him. Anyone can imagine the idea he said. If Zhu Qizhen just wants to do this, does he still need to call the cabinet and the six ministries to discuss it?

What is the difference between saying this and not saying it?

However, Zhu Qizhen also knew the concerns of these ministers.

How could he not understand the little thoughts of these people?

It was nothing more than fear that the emperor would take the opportunity to wipe out the little remnants of the local aristocratic and powerful families in the name of cleaning up the horse bandits.

These aristocratic families are intertwined and deeply rooted in the Ming Empire.

For more than a year, although Zhu Qizhen used the White Lotus Sect and punished corrupt officials to deal a severe blow to these aristocratic families, even the Kong family in Shandong could not escape the magic melon.However, this does not mean that the power of the great family has been completely weakened.

Chapter 62 Who is the biggest family in the world?

In the eight years since Zhengtong, Zhu Qizhen has carried out large-scale reforms in the Ming Empire.

There is no doubt that the reform touched the interests of the aristocratic family.

However, this is just cutting off part of the wings of the aristocratic family, it is far from the point where it hurts the muscles and bones.

Since the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the biggest problem faced by the feudal dynasty was land annexation. Only when land annexation was controlled could the dynasty be able to continue.

Similarly, these aristocratic families are also worried that Zhu Qizhen will once again raise the butcher's knife.

To put it bluntly, these people also know that they are moths of the Ming Empire, and they suck the blood of the Ming Empire, but they are also for survival and development.

From another angle.

In fact, the royal family is the biggest family!

Compared with the royal family, other families are no-nonsense, and the struggle within the feudal dynasty is, to put it bluntly, a struggle between landlords.

Under the whole world, could it be the king's land.

Leading the coast of the earth, is it a king minister.

The entire land in the world belongs to the emperor Zhu Qizhen. Do you think he is the biggest landlord in the world?

Regarding such a situation, Zhu Qizhen actually understands everything, but if he knows it, he understands it. Zhu Qizhen is undoubtedly willing to trade the lives of other people's families in exchange for the peaceful continuation of Zhu Qizhen's Ming Dynasty.

This is also what Yan Song and others are worried about. The power of the monarchy is already so great that it almost has no boundaries. If Zhu Qizhen is asked to kill a wave of local tycoons, then the local power will really be empty.

But this incident of thousands of horse bandits has brought disaster to the country and the people, so what should we do?

This is not a small amount!

It's nothing more than ten or a hundred. This is a total of 1 horses, and even everyone has horses. This is the most terrifying place.

Such a number of horse bandits and horses are definitely not something that ordinary people can get and afford!

"Old Yan Ge, you should know what I mean. Are you planning to keep perfunctory me by saying this?"
