Reborn as a tyrant in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 145 Promoting Change through Suppression

"I feel that His Majesty's reward for Huang Degong is too heavy and his expectations are too high. If Huang Degong returns to the capital, he will definitely become the target of public criticism."

In Dongnuan Pavilion, Yuan Keli, who entered the palace to meet the emperor, without any hesitation, directly stated his worries and wanted to persuade the emperor to withdraw his orders.

Although doing so would damage the emperor's dignity.

But this is better than Huang Degong being tricked to death!

Yuan Keli was shocked when he learned that the cabinet had issued an edict. He knew that the emperor would definitely reward Huang Degongbu, but he did not expect such a generous reward.

Huang Degong was promoted from a mere guerrilla general to the deputy commander-in-chief of the independent unified army. The span in between was really too big.

In this matter, Yuan Keli felt that the emperor was too hasty.

The trees that are beautiful in the forest will be destroyed by the wind!

"Since the Qing family has mentioned this, you might as well tell me all your worries."

When Yuan Keli said this, Zhu Youxiao was not angry at all. He reached out to pick up the tea cup, looked at Yuan Keli calmly and said, then he opened the lid of the cup and took a sip of the cooled tea.

"Your Majesty has a love for talents, which is a good thing for the country."

Yuan Keli raised his hands and bowed: "If you have merit, you will be rewarded, and if you make mistakes, you will be punished. This is the key to commanding and training troops, but I think your Majesty is too hasty."

Zhu Youxiao put down his tea cup and listened to what Yuan Keli said.

"During the chaos in the capital and the capital, Huang Degong's Ministry was ordered to suppress the bandits and achieved considerable results." Seeing that the emperor did not speak, Yuan Keli continued.

"But Your Majesty, the ones that Huang Degong's ministry is exterminating are bandits after all. No matter how many they exterminate, they are just bandits. With such a generous reward, many people will inevitably become hostile to Huang Degong."

"Furthermore, despite the clear edict, His Majesty also wants Huang De to lead his troops to continue to suppress the bandits and strive to clear out all the territory in Beizhili. This will cause a very serious problem."

"Huang Degong will be targeted."

Following what Yuan Keli said, Zhu Youxiao smiled slightly and said: "And this kind of targeting is overt or covert."

"This is what I am most worried about."

Yuan Keli nodded and said: "At that time, not only the various departments under the jurisdiction of the Beijing camp, but also people will target Huang Degong's department. Even in the center or local areas, there will also be many people targeting Huang Degong's department."

"And the most important point is that the soldiers under Huang Degong's command, although they are all elite, are complex in composition after all."

"No one can guarantee whether anyone will be bribed after this."

"If you want to make these people truly return home, you can't rely on fighting a few battles and getting them to swear allegiance to the death by giving corresponding rewards from the court!"

Yuan Keli has a profound understanding of the human heart and human nature.

As early as when he was the governor of Denglai, Yuan Keli had experienced too many things, and he had long been accustomed to overt and covert constraints or pushbacks.

There is a mistake that makes you act too eye-catching.

how?

Are you the only one loyal in the entire Ming Dynasty?

Are you the only one who knows how to behave in the entire Ming Dynasty?

Yuan Keli was a civil servant, so he would suffer unreasonable suppression or constraints because of what he did, but what about Huang Degong?

Just a general.

Even if he is deeply trusted and relied upon by the emperor, what can he do?

There is always a time when the emperor cannot see it, right?

There's always a time when the emperor can't take care of it, right?

As long as there is such an opportunity, just wait, all kinds of calculations will inevitably follow!

"Then what if I don't ask Huang Degong to return to the capital?"

Zhu Youxiao asked with a smile.

Ok?

Yuan Keli's expression changed slightly, will he not return to the capital?

He really hadn't thought about this.

"I have thought about everything that the Qing family is worried about."

Zhu Youxiao lifted up the sleeves of his robe and said with sharp eyes: "I am indeed a little impatient, but there is not much time left for me. I need a truly strong army, not just someone with nothing to lose."

"I know better than anyone what this edict issued by the cabinet will bring to Huang Degong's Ministry. Therefore, Huang Degong cannot stay in the capital, a place of right and wrong, any longer. I intend to allow Huang Degong's Ministry to station in Tianshou Mountain. "

"Tianshou Mountain?!"

Yuan Keli was stunned, and immediately thought of something, "Does your Majesty want Huang Degong to rectify the mausoleum guards?"

"Yes."

Zhu Youxiao nodded and said: "During the period of purging the bandits in all parts of Northern Zhili, Huang Degong also led his troops to rectify the Ling Guards. When I think of the memorial submitted by Lu Xiangsheng, which involves all the Ling Guards, I can't restrain myself. Live with the urge to kill."

"As the elite guarding Tianshou Mountain, today, the Zhuling Guards have actually fallen to this level. This is simply the most ridiculous thing in the world."

Zhu Lingwei's performance was really poor.

This was supposed to be the most relied-upon elite teacher under the imperial power, but now apart from being capable of guarding and stealing, he has forgotten everything else.

"Although His Majesty's arrangement can keep Huang Degong away from right and wrong, I cannot guarantee that the money and food expenses allocated to Huang Degong's department and the rectification of the tomb guards can be allocated in time."

Although Yuan Keli is the Minister of the Ministry of War, many matters in the central court cannot be decided by him alone. After all, the Ministry of War’s money and food expenditures need to be approved by the cabinet. Even if the cabinet approves it, if the Ministry of Household Affairs is stuck If he doesn't let go, then Yuan Keli has no other option but to file a lawsuit in front of the emperor.

"Moreover, I am still a little worried about the group of soldiers under Huang Degong's command." Yuan Keli continued: "Even if they are stationed in Tianshou Mountain, there is no guarantee that there will be people with ulterior motives who will do something in private."

"The Qing family doesn't need to worry too much about money and food expenses."

Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and said: "In the early stage, we can rely on direct allocation of internal funds. As long as the campaign to suppress bandits in Beizhili begins, the seizures alone will be enough to support the consumption of the various tribes in Tianshou Mountain."

"As for those soldiers, there is no need to worry."

"If there is no future, then there is no guarantee that some of them will betray you, but what if I am willing to promote them? Compared to the immediate interests, who would give up longer-term interests?"

"Does Your Majesty want to change all the officials of the mausoleum guards?"

Yuan Keli thought of something and looked at the emperor in disbelief.

"The Tomb Guards in Tianshou Mountain are not a place to raise waste."

Zhu Youxiao looked arrogant and said: "Since the honor given to them by the imperial court makes them feel confident, then I can take it all back to them."

"From now on, there will no longer be hereditary guards in the Tianshou Mountain Mausoleum Guards. The capable will be promoted, the mediocre will be given up, the mediocre will be demoted, and the weak will be eliminated. I have given them the opportunity, and it depends on whether they can grasp it. "

If this is the case, when the bandit suppression campaign in Beizhili is over, all the ministries stationed in Tianshou Mountain will be absolutely loyal to the emperor.

Yuan Keli's mouth opened slightly. This move was too high. It was definitely a conspiracy.

Everyone has a steelyard in their heart.

Especially for generals, they can still distinguish clearly who is sincere to them and who is hypocritical.

"Your Majesty, if Huang Degong's troops really enter Tianshou Mountain, what should the Beijing Camp do?" Yuan Keli sighed and thought of the Beijing Camp.

"Xiong Tingbi took the risk and concentrated all the personal guards under Huang Degong under the command of Huang Degong. This was to frighten the entire Beijing camp."

"Now that the elite force that shocked the capital camp is gone, even if Tianshou Mountain is not too far from the capital, if there is any unrest during this period, even if Huang Degong knows about it, it may be difficult to rush to the capital camp in time."

"The Qing family doesn't need to worry about this."

Zhu Youxiao smiled, and a gleam flashed in his eyes, "Huang Degong is not the only one of our Ming Dynasty's masters who are good at fighting, and Huang Degong is not the only one of our brave generals of the Ming Dynasty."

At this moment, Yuan Keli was a little stunned.

He knows that there must be many plans for today, and there are even many things that no one knows about. His worries may have been unnecessary from the beginning! !
