Longevity begins with Jinyiwei

Since the death of the emperor, every summary of the military situation in Li Xiu's hands will be sent to the Yamen of the Ministry of War.

Up to now, this war, which can be said to have been unprecedented in the Ming Dynasty for decades, in the eyes of the officials of the Ministry of War and the courtiers, has gradually become fuller and clearer as the results of these military battles have been summarized.

In fact, even if it is not clear, the military exploits are beyond doubt.

After all, the battles in Mobei, Monan, and Liaodong have already explained everything.

Now, it's just an exchange of undoubted military exploits for the imperial court's reward.

In the cabinet yamen, Sun Chuanting looked at the summary of military exploits in his hand, and his expression was extremely complicated.

Just relying on the existence of these military exploits at present, and Qin Guogong's sitting in charge, this time the reward, the Xungui Group will undoubtedly grow in the actual sense, and will completely break the situation of the court's dominance of civil servants.

As far as his heart is concerned, he is happy to see this situation happen, even if he is a civil servant.

The founding of the country created the group of Xungui.

Feng Tianjing is difficult to further strengthen the group of Xungui.

Afterwards, with the peace of the country until the Tumu Fort change, the Xungui group also completely lost the capital to fight against the civil servants.

After that, the civil servants came to power, the country's overall strategy showed a tendency to shrink, and the situation in which the gentlemen were superior and the martial arts inferior was completely finalized.

Even if there is such a grand war as the Wanli Three Great Wars, everything is under the leadership of civil officials, so it is difficult to bring about real changes to the Xungui Group.

It is precisely because of the loneliness of the nobles and the dominance of civil servants that the chaos of demons in the imperial court has been created, and it has created time and time again the same parties and different parties, and endless disputes!

Today, the undoubted brilliance of Qin Guogong is recasting the nobles, a group of nobles who can fight and dare to fight. It is obviously a good thing for the current situation of internal and external troubles and the situation of endless civil servants and parties.

What he is worried about is only the Marquis of Zhenbei, and the Duke of Qin who is now assisting the country in governing the country and holding the power tightly!

"It's after you have dedicated yourself to death..."

"Still wearing a yellow robe..."

"Or... hold the emperor to order the world..."

He muttered to himself slightly, and was heard by the military officials who passed by, and the expression of this official also changed drastically.

Being heard by others, Sun Chuanting didn't seem to panic.

This is not just his worry, the civil servants of the Manchu Dynasty, no matter what the banner is, how many people are not as worried as he is.

If possible, he even wanted to ask Qin Guogong face to face.

Otherwise, he will feel uneasy!

The heart of this world is also uneasy!

Can……

Sun Chuanting suddenly smiled, so what if his heart is at ease, the hearts of the world cannot be at ease...

Chapter 237 The Wind of Public Opinion

At Duke Qin's mansion, Li Xiu was flipping through a sealed note sent by Jin Yiwei.

These secret melodies undoubtedly represent the real trend of public opinion in the government and the public. From the trend of public opinion in the capital, it is obvious what the direction of public opinion in most of the world is.

Of course, Jiangnan is an exception.

Jiangnan is the home of the Donglin gentry, and Donglin has almost been squeezed out of the center of government affairs, so the public opinion in the capital will naturally not affect Jiangnan.

Of course, Jiangnan cannot affect the capital.

It is also because of this that in Jiangnan, public opinion has already boiled, and it can be called a complete chaos of demons.

It's just that, in today's court, few people care about Donglin's pride, the ruling class is sound, and the central authority has won several great victories, and it is at a time when its power is flourishing.

The center is everything, as for the loser in the power struggle, who cares!

Even though the courtiers are already breathless under Li Xiu's oppression, few of them are willing to contact Donglin for conspiracy.

After all, when Donglin was in power, the suppression of courtiers who did not belong to Donglin was much more vicious than the eunuchs.

Of course, the most important thing is that after several purges by Zhu Youjian and Li Xiu, promising people also occupy the mainstream in today's court.

These people obviously don't like Donglin's tricks,

Li Xiu, on the other hand, didn't like Dong Lin.

After all, if he wants to reorganize the Ming Dynasty, the prosperity of the south of the Yangtze River is an indispensable part that cannot be lost.

But to get the riches of Jiangnan, and to use the riches of Jiangnan for him, Donglin, an interest group representing the gentry, wealthy and businessmen in Jiangnan, is also an unavoidable blockade.

Anything that involves interests is doomed to be impossible to resolve properly...

Since he was destined to use the knife, he naturally didn't care about the direction of Jiangnan's public opinion. After all, if the knife moved, he would not know how he would be smeared...

But he couldn't help but care about the direction of public opinion in the capital.

He is in power, and the assistance of the central officials is indispensable.

"Zhuge Liang, Zhao Kuangyin, Cao Cao, Dong Zhuo..."

Li Xiu casually put down the melody in his hand, and muttered something to himself.

The four names are also enough to completely represent the direction of public opinion between the government and the opposition.

The emperor's will, he holds great power and assists the country in governing the country. It seems to have become a fact and cannot be changed.

No matter how unwilling the officials in the capital are, they have to admit this fact.

Under such circumstances, it is naturally impossible for the wind direction of public opinion to dance wildly like Jiangnan. Worry about the future seems to occupy the majority.

But it is very obvious that as long as he holds power for a day, it is doomed, and it is impossible to eliminate the worries of the officials.

At this point in his thoughts, Li Xiu was suddenly taken aback.

Now, the ruling and opposition parties are worried, and there are many checks and balances and resistance.

But...it is very obvious that with the passage of time, this check and balance and resistance are destined to become weaker and even disappear.

At that time, the real power will be in his hands, and Daming will be completely in his hands...

he……

Can you still keep your heart?

Can he keep his promise?

Or, can he be willing to give up the rights in his hands?

Or, if the emperor is suspicious, can he just sit and wait for death?

All kinds of thoughts flickered in his mind, and Li Xiu's expression also seemed a little gloomy and uncertain.

It took a long time for Li Xiu to recover from the chaotic thoughts in his mind.

Looking up at the bright starry sky, Li Xiu was also suddenly speechless.

These questions, the current him... has no answer.

All he can do is to follow the established track step by step. As for the future...he can only choose to leave it to the future...or try to avoid...

"Brother Xiu, Brother Xiu!"

Just when Li Xiu was full of thoughts, Erwazi's carefree voice suddenly reached his ears.

"Why are you back, kid?"

Li Xiu was also taken aback when he saw the Erwazi who was still looking around while striding forward.

The expeditionary army is still on the way back to Beijing, counting the days, it has not yet arrived in Beijing.

"Hey, didn't I hear that Brother Xiu, you are now assisting the country in governing the country, and you want to come back quickly to see if you can help Brother Xiu."

After finishing speaking, Er Wazi seemed to have thought of something, and quickly added: "I asked for instructions, Brother Xiu, you also agreed!"

"Have you asked for instructions?"

Li Xiu frowned. There are so many things going on recently, he really doesn't have much impression.

"I really asked for instructions!"

Erwazi became anxious immediately, if he refused to accept his account, then he would have to be beaten up again, the majestic Emperor Poluhou of the Ming Dynasty and the governor of Ji Town!

"It's a gift from all the Mongolian ministries, Brother Xiu, you agreed!"

"This matter, I remember!"

Li Xiu suddenly realized, nodded, picked up the teapot casually, poured a cup, handed it to Er Wazi, and asked casually:

"What did Mongolia offer?"

"What else can we do? Just some war horses, cattle and sheep. We've got a lot of these!"

Erwazi drank the tea carelessly, and waved his hand indifferently.

After finishing speaking, Erwazi seemed to remember something, and suddenly smiled mysteriously: "Brother Xiu, there are really good things!"

"what?"

Li Xiu raised his brows, he knew Erwazi's temperament, and what he considered good things were often different from ordinary people.

"Cough cough..."

Erwazi coughed a few times in a fake manner, but after a while, he leaned towards Li Xiu's side with a stern face: "Let's say it first, we have a good fortune to share, and I will get two points!"

"female?"

Seeing Erwazi's appearance, Li Xiu suddenly understood.

"Hey, brother Xiu, you are so amazing, you can guess all of this!"

"Bullshit, I really don't know what you're thinking about all day long!"

Li Xiu kicked Erwazi angrily: "I haven't settled with you for the dirty things you did in Ji Town!"

"Brother Xiu, this is really wronged. I am an upright concubine, but I didn't force anything!"

Erwazi took a hard kick and kept calling for injustice!

"You still know that you are taking a concubine, a majestic Marquis. For a brothel girl, you are jealous of others, fight in the street, and even take her as a concubine. You have completely embarrassed me!"

"I... I didn't delay my business..."

Erwazi held back for a long time, but in the end he could only squeeze out this sentence.

"If it really delays the business, you are going to go back to the capital and hold your Marquis for the rest of your life!"

"That's definitely not the case. Brother Xiu, don't worry, I will definitely take care of Ji Town, the number one town in the world, hehe!"

Seeing Erwazi's faceless face, Li Xiu was also speechless, and waved his hands angrily.

Seeing this, Er Wazi's eyes lit up immediately, and he called out of the courtyard, and then, a dozen graceful women covered in gauze walked into the courtyard.

Just the faintly visible face under the tulle, and this graceful figure, there is no doubt that each of them can be called stunning.

Of course, those Mongolian tribes wouldn't make a contribution if it wasn't a stunning beauty, otherwise, it wouldn't be a contribution, but an embarrassment for themselves.

"Whichever you like, take it away."

Li Xiu looked around and waved his hands casually.

"Well, I'd rather be respectful than obedient!"

Erwazi is not polite, he dragged the two girls and hurried out of the yard, leaving Li Xiu standing in front of these graceful girls like a beauty pageant.

Of course, for Li Xiu, there was no choice.

As long as he thinks, everything is his.

He is not a saint, beauty is also his hobby.

In terms of enjoyment, he will not treat himself badly.

Sleepless all night, coquettishly singing... The cloud and rain never stop...

The exotic style really makes people nostalgic...
