Reborn as a tyrant in the Ming Dynasty

slap~

In the quiet Dongnuan Pavilion, Zhu Youxiao was sitting cross-legged on the Arhat bed. The white piece he was holding fell on the chessboard in front of him. The lamp was lit on the side and the light was swaying back and forth. Zhang Weixian, who was sitting opposite him, looked obviously unnatural. , obviously his thoughts are not on this game of chess.

"Mr. British, it's your turn."

Seeing Zhang Weixian delaying his move, Zhu Youxiao smiled, picked up the tea cup, looked at Zhang Weixian and said, "The Qing family has a great chance of winning in this game of chess."

"minister…"

Zhang Weixian's heart tightened and he subconsciously wanted to say something, but Zhu Youxiao kept smiling and stretched out his hand to indicate that he should seize the move. Seeing this, Zhang Weixian pretended to be calm and took a closer look at the chess game in front of him.

"Sure enough, ginger is still spicy when he is old!"

Zhu Youxiao took a sip of tea. When he saw Zhang Weixian's final move, he couldn't help but smile and praise: "I lost this game."

"I'm just lucky."

Zhang Weixian quickly stood up and bowed to the emperor.

"Okay, don't get up all the time."

Zhu Youxiao put down the tea cup and glanced at Zhang Weixian: "We only played a few games together. If I win you, you stand up. If I lose you, you stand up. Do you think I'm going to scare you like this?"

In fact, Zhu Youxiao knew exactly what was going on with Zhang Weixian's reaction.

Without him.

Just today at the Meridian Gate, a bunch of rat scum were skinned and stuffed with grass. Especially the powerful eunuchs from the inner court went to the West City to watch the execution. This will inevitably make some people think too much.

"sit down."

Zhu Youxiao lifted up his robe sleeves, stretched out his hand to pick up Bai Zi, and sighed softly: "Since the incident in Xiyuan, I have wanted to understand a lot. Blindly choosing to turn a blind eye and not hear is just self-deception. Mr. British, you Do you think what I did is right or wrong?"

"I dare not speak nonsense."

Zhang Weixian, who lifted up his robe and sat down, knew what the emperor meant. He lowered his head slightly to pick up the sunspots and replied: "Your Majesty is the emperor. No matter what you do, you have your own considerations. As a minister of the Ming Dynasty, how can I dare to speculate randomly? .”

"If everyone could be like the British Duke, what would the Ming Dynasty be like?"

Zhu Youxiao narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "I am by no means a murderous person, but there are always some people who are smart and think that no one else knows what they do in private. Demons and demons are rampant, rats and scum are rampant. I have figured it out. Since they dare to be greedy, then I dare to kill them!!"

Zhu Youxiao thought for a long time about how to govern the Ming Dynasty, which was about to collapse. Being a tyrant was inevitable. Whatever the enemy opposed, we must support it; whatever the enemy supported, we must oppose it!

It's just that when doing anything, you have to pay attention to methods and methods, and you can't do things alone, so you have to gather a group of people around you, including civil servants, military generals, and nobles, so that you can win over them. Heart, but also to lead them to get something.

A person lives his whole life, whether for fame, profit, or power, and ultimately he wants to occupy the same thing.

Nothing takes up any space, that’s a saint!

Zhu Youxiao does not deny that there are saints in this world, but he cannot place his hopes on small probabilities, so there are some things that should be considered from a higher perspective.

"From now on, the British Duke will personally arrest the imperial guards."

Zhu Youxiao continued to pick up the white pieces, without raising his head to look at Zhang Weixian, "I am very satisfied with the order of the Royal Forbidden Army. The loose situation in the past has been well organized by you guys. I hope it will not be a flash in the pan. In the simple If you can keep doing things, it won't be easy."

"I understand!"

Zhang Weixian quickly stood up and bowed to the emperor.

Thunderbolts broke out one after another in the Royal Horse Supervisor and the Military War Bureau, which made Zhu Youxiao understand that there are more than just these rotten places in the inner court. If this is the case, then the inner court reorganization cannot be ended easily.

However, while cleaning the inner court, you must also ensure your own safety to avoid accidents. Many matters involving the imperial guards must be completely isolated from the inner court Yousi!

"The day went by so fast, it was so dark."

Zhu Youxiao looked up out of the window and saw that it was getting dark outside, "I'm afraid that the capital tonight won't be as peaceful as before."

Yes!

As for Zhang Weixian, who was standing, he felt sad and moved in his heart. Many death row prisoners were skinned and stuffed with grass in the West City. I am afraid that this matter will be hotly discussed in the capital in the past few days.

Since Shang Yuji came to the throne, there has never been a situation like these days when a group of people were arrested at every turn and either sentenced to death or skinned and stuffed with grass.

Such cruel methods were extremely rare even in the Taichang, Wanli, Longqing, and even Jiajing dynasties!

Xiong Tingbi, I have expressed my attitude to you enough, when are you going to take action?

When Zhang Weixian was thinking a lot, he looked out the window at Zhu Youxiao, but at this moment he frowned slightly. What he was thinking about now was the rotten Jingying camp. When was Xiong Tingbi going to start rectifying it!

……

Guangqumen area.

The fifth military camp is located.

"Everyone, I won't go into too much detail about what happened in the West Market today. I believe you all know it, right?"

Xiong Tingbi sat firmly on the handsome chair, staring at the people standing in front of him with his piercing tiger eyes, and said in a sonorous tone: "It has been some time since I took office as the assistant in charge of the military affairs of Jingying. For Jingying, I have basically figured out the situation, and it’s time to talk about some things.”

Is this going to start rectification?

Lu Xiangsheng, who had a serious expression, knew what was going on when he heard what Xiong Tingbi said. Ever since he was transferred to co-organize the Beijing Camp's food and salary expenditures, he not only received military salaries allocated from internal funds, but also secretly touched part of the Beijing Camp's food and salary expenditures. Check it out.

Shocking! !

Although Lu Xiangsheng knew that there were problems in the capital, he did not expect that the problems were so big, and what he knew was only a small part.

Lu Xiangsheng didn't dare to continue thinking about it.

The problems in Jingying were far more complicated than he expected. The most important point was that Jingying was intertwined. If he really had to choose to move, it would definitely affect the whole body.

"Tomorrow, I will beat the drum to gather the generals!"

While Lu Xiangsheng was deep in thought, Xiong Tingbi said loudly: "All generals and commanders above Yingqianqiang must rush to the Assistant Military Administration Office in the capital. Tomorrow, what you have to do is to convey military orders to me. Anyone who dares to cause any delay will be punished." arrest!"

With that said, Xiong Tingbi pointed at the three generals Zhou Yuji, Sun Yingyuan and Huang Degong.

"promise!"

The three of them immediately clasped their fists and shouted.

"As for Jiandou." Xiong Tingbi's eyes were fixed on Lu Xiangsheng, "Tomorrow I will order someone to transfer all the military pay from the internal funds to my officer and bring him to the center of the army!"

"promise!"

Lu Xiangsheng bowed in response, but some doubts arose in Lu Xiangsheng's heart. He didn't know what Xiong Tingbi wanted to do, but he knew one thing, tomorrow was destined to be an extraordinary day!
