Reborn as a tyrant in the Ming Dynasty

Ministry of War.

An indescribable atmosphere enveloped the place, making everyone here feel depressed and even suffocated. Although it was already dark, no one from the Ministry of War's officials or servants dared to take off duty.

The urgent edict issued from Shimen Town caused a huge stir the moment it entered the capital. The content of the edict made everyone feel the emperor's wrath! !

The study room.

Hong Chengchou, the left minister, and Wang Yongguang, the right minister, sat on the official hat chair. They sat quietly like this for almost an hour.

They are waiting for someone.

Yuan Keli, the assistant to the cabinet and minister of the Ministry of War!

After the edict was transmitted to the capital, Yuan Keli left the Ministry of War office and went straight to the cabinet. Like Yuan Keli, there were also Li Qiyuan, Bi Ziyan, and Wang Zaijin.

No one expected that such a shocking thing would happen since the emperor left Beijing to patrol the border. Although the assassination case in Tongzhou has been temporarily suppressed, but...

"Except for the officials and servants who are on duty, all the rest should be on duty."

A slightly tired voice sounded outside the hall, which cheered up Yuan Keli and Wang Yongguang who were sitting there, and then stood up from the official hat chairs.

Yuan Keli frowned, dragging his tired body. When he walked into the main hall, he saw Hong Chengchou and Wang Yongguang approaching, and he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly.

"Meet Da Sima!"

Under Yuan Keli's gaze, Hong Chengchou and Wang Yongguang raised their hands and bowed.

"Everyone here?"

Yuan Keli sighed softly and walked forward, "That's fine, I don't need to send someone to call you over. Please sit down. I want to talk to you about something."

"promise!"

Both of them heard what Yuan Keli meant.

When such a big thing happens, it is impossible for the central court to have no impact, especially the Ministry of War. If the assassination in Tongzhou is excusable, then what happened in Shimen Town, no matter how you put it, is inextricably linked to the Ministry of War. Even if Yuan Keli and the others didn’t know about it beforehand!

"You must all be aware of the edict issued by His Majesty, right?"

Yuan Keli lifted up the sleeves of his robe, sat on the official hat chair, looked up at Hong Chengchou and Wang Yongguang and said, "I won't go into details here. From now on, no, From now on, the Ministry of War will launch a comprehensive investigation of all the troops in Beizhili."

"We need to check whether the food and salary allocated over the years have been actually distributed, and we need to check the actual situation of the various guard stations under our jurisdiction, especially the number of guards and the fields of the guards!!"

"How long has it been since His Majesty left Beijing to patrol the border? So many things have happened, and there are even traitors who dare to assassinate the emperor. This can no longer be described as lawless!! It is simply heartbreaking!!"

The atmosphere in the hall became subtle.

Hong Chengchou and Wang Yongguang showed different expressions. In fact, they had already made up their mind about this situation. After all, such a big thing happened, but the Ministry of War had no attitude in the end, so this matter could not be justified no matter what.

"Da Sima, if this matter is handled by the Ministry of War alone, it may be difficult to move forward." Wang Yongguang pondered for a moment, then looked up at Yuan Keli and said.

"There are many areas under the jurisdiction of Beizhili. In addition to Fuzhou and counties, there are also permanent important towns, not to mention that during this period, there were also many health posts. Even if something is really discovered, how will rectification be carried out? ?”

"Whether it's what happened in Sanhe or Jizhou, or whether the emperor's imperial commander was assassinated twice by traitors, after this spreads in Beijing, it will inevitably spread to other places."

"If regulations cannot be drawn up on this matter and the Ministry of War takes rash action, it will only intensify the turmoil and even cause monsters to seize the opportunity.

"good."

Hong Chengchou nodded and said: "The top priority right now is that the Ministry of War must express its attitude. It must also express its attitude. However, everything must be done in advance. Failure to do so will result in failure!"

"The more we are in this situation, the more the Ministry of War cannot be in chaos. At this moment, I am afraid that there are many pairs of eyes staring at the Ministry of War. If this matter cannot be handled well, I am waiting for a small one, but if the country If something goes wrong in the military affairs of the government, then the guilt will be huge.”

It seems that Your Majesty did not misjudge the person.

When Yuan Keli heard this, he couldn't help but feel emotional in his heart.

Ok.

When Zhu Youxiao left Beijing to patrol the border, Yuan Keli also received a secret order. Among the secret orders, one of them was to abolish the guard post to reduce the burden on the national treasury, reorganize the garrison system of the capital and the capital, and reorganize the North Central Plains. Being attached to the border garrison, just because of what he had to do, Yuan Keli understood what the emperor wanted to do.

But just after receiving that secret order, Yuan Keli could not sleep well for a day. The pressure was too great. If he was not careful, he might cause big trouble to Sheji.

However, the emperor's imperial chariot was assassinated twice, especially the assassination in Shimen Town. After the edict was urgently delivered to the capital, Yuan Keli made up his mind that no matter how difficult it was, he would still face it!

Daming shouldn't be like this! ! !

It shouldn’t be! ! !

"Such a major matter cannot be accomplished by relying on the Ministry of War alone." Under the gaze of the two men, Yuan Keli pondered for a moment and said with sharp eyes.

"This assistant has already thought about it. In the name of the Ministry of War, he will send a letter to the governor's office of Jiliao, Shuntian Mansion, Baoding Governor's Mansion, the governor of Xuanfu Town, the General Military Mansion, Tianjin and other departments, asking them to assist the Ministry of War in handling this matter. It may be difficult for the two of you to stay in Beijing. I will be in charge of this matter and will communicate and resolve any issues in a timely manner.”

"Also, I will personally monitor the reform of Yi Chuan. The two of you have to do one thing, and do everything I have stated."

This is going to cause a big disturbance.

Both Hong Chengchou and Wang Yongguang were surprised at this moment. How could they not feel the determination in this matter through what their chief Sima said.

"Da Sima, if this is really the case, I'm afraid there will be many changes in the capital." Hong Chengchou hesitated for a moment, looked at Yuan Keli and said.

"With me in Beijing, even if there are changes, I will deal with them."

However, Yuan Keli waved his hand and interrupted: "I know clearly what I want to do and what I shouldn't do. If I don't even have the courage to do so, I won't be able to do the job of Minister of War."

Yuan Keli knew very well what Hong Chengchou wanted to say.

Everything in the world is prosperous because of profit, and everything in the world is about profit. Everything in this world cannot escape the word profit. Although what the Ministry of War has to do is still a general existence, it has touched the interests of many people. Disputes are bound to arise from this.

"Da Sima, there is one more thing you should pay attention to."

Wang Yongguang frowned and said: "When the officials and others leave the capital and go to various places to supervise rectification and inspections, there is no guarantee that someone will jump over the wall in a hurry during this period!"

"Then tell them to dance!"

Yuan Keli snorted coldly and said: "It's a thick sore that is about to burst. If something like that really happens, you will use the name of the Ministry of War to command the army to suppress it. What should I do? I don't need to say more, right?"

"This……"

The two looked shocked.

"I understand the rules."

Yuan Keli continued: "If you do this, there is no guarantee that some people will hold on to it, but now is not the time to talk about this. When it comes to that point, after His Majesty returns to Beijing, I will take the responsibility alone, and you will not need to take responsibility!"

Since you are determined to do something, you must be firm. Yuan Keli is such a person. He has been ups and downs in the officialdom for so long. What kind of unspoken rules has he not seen? What kind of things are those people in the officialdom? , he has learned all about it.

Now, it's time to make a choice. If this is the case, then do it with confidence and boldness.

"Da Sima, I have something to do with you. I wonder if you should talk about it?"

Under this situation, Hong Chengchou thought of something and raised his hand to bow to Yuan Keri.

"speak."

Yuan Keli's words are concise and concise.

"Where is Mr. Xiong Ge?"

Facing Yuan Keli's gaze, Hong Chengchou asked.

At this time, Wang Yongguang's expression changed slightly.

Some things are finally revealed.

"Is this important?"

Yuan Keli said calmly.

"important."

Hong Chengchou nodded.

The atmosphere in the hall was a bit solemn.

"Not in Beijing anymore."

After an unknown amount of time, Yuan Keli said, his voice a little low, "As for other things, I can't talk about it."

"I understand."

Hong Chengchou was convinced and immediately knew what was going on. It seemed that his suspicion was true!

"So, I have some thoughts to say about what Grand Sima Shicai mentioned." When he said this, Hong Chengchou no longer hesitated and faced Yuan Keli's gaze.

"Then let's talk."

Yuan Keli said: "What I just said was just my initial idea. I still need to think carefully about how to do it specifically. The Ministry of War must not make any mistakes in this matter!"

This night is destined to be sleepless...
