Longevity begins with Jinyiwei

"My minister, there is a recitation."

And the one who fired the first shot of the new court was actually the British Duke who had always been a silent man in the court!

Everyone knows that after Xungui's purge, the Duke of England is the only Duke remaining, and he has completely turned to the former Marquis of Zhenbei and now the Duke of Qin.

Obviously, it is very clear who is behind this shot.

"Qin Guogong led an expedition, swept across Mobei and Monan, threatened Houjin, made great achievements in battle, the late emperor had a will..."

"Minister, please order to honor the hero, so as to comfort the army!"

The British public's remonstrance did not exceed the expectations of the officials, but now, it is obvious that the reason for the remonstrance is not important, what is important is the Queen Mother's attitude!

Auxiliary to governing the country, the word auxiliary is destined to mean inseparable from the emperor.

And the emperor is young, and the empress dowager is the son's biological mother, how can he leave the empress dowager!

At this moment, the court suddenly became quiet, and the eyes of the officials all focused on the Queen Mother.

At this moment, feeling the eyes of the courtiers, the Empress Dowager Zhou held the handkerchief tightly, and after a long silence, she seemed to have made a decision, her vermilion lips parted lightly:

"The first emperor has an order. All matters in the court are decided by Duke Qin. Duke Qin, you can deal with it as you see."

After saying this, many civil officials immediately showed disappointment on their faces, and many civil officials were also obviously relieved.

As for General Xungui, there was joy and encouragement.

The empress dowager's non-intervention in politics undoubtedly completely gave Qin Guogong's assistant to govern the country, took full power, and removed the last sliver of obstacles.

They are all the confidants of Duke Qin, so there is no reason why they should not be delighted.

At this time, Li Xiu obviously didn't look happy. All of this was already under his control. If something unexpected happened, it would be a strange thing.

"Sir, obey the order!"

He bowed to the empress dowager who was sitting high, then slowly turned around, and under the watchful eyes of the officials, he faced the officials...

……

2 Forty Chapters

"The generals of the Fenwu Battalion of the Beijing Army, Chen Yin, and the Battle of Mobei, with a force of one division, defeated the enemy's more than ten thousand cavalry, and defeated the Khan of the Mongolian Kalkhabalin tribe...Feng Changfeng..."

"Zhang Tian, ​​Chief of the Fearful Battalion of the Beijing Army, the Battle of Monan...Feng Qi Shanbo..."

"The general of the Beijing Army's Hanwu Battalion..."

"Niu Tiemu, general of the Tiger Guards of Ji Town..."

"Chen Fang, deputy commander of the left guard of the cavalry of the Xuan Mansion..."

Above the court hall, there was a resounding voice. Every time the name was read, a general on the side of the military commander Xungui suddenly agreed and strode out. In just a moment, the court hall seemed to be completely enveloped by the intention of fighting.

At this moment, the civil servants are all silent. Of course, more of them should be dejected and helpless.

Those who can get the rewards from the court, naturally cannot be some small merit, without exception, they are all the existence of military merits and titles!

Of course, these are only secondaries.

The merits of the chiefs and generals of each ministry were canonized before the death of Emperor Chongzhen.

Every name, every person means that, Daming, there is another honorable person who crawled out of the dead!

Once in the court, the honorable man who was obedient and like a sheep, now...

How unruly, how menacing!

The sheep are gone, and now, there are only a group of battlefield killers!

In this situation, for today's civil servants, even if they are mentally prepared, they are somewhat caught off guard.

Throughout the dynasties, whenever martial arts became powerful, even the founding emperor of the country would have to be afraid of it, not to mention the civil servants who have long been accustomed to dominance.

At this moment, all the civil servants were dead silent.

"The final general will thank His Majesty for his grace!"

"The sun, the moon, the country, the Great Ming will always be here, Your Majesty, long live long live long live long live!"

All the generals kowtowed, and the shouts resounded through the hall, and the echo echoed outside the hall, resounding through the sky as well, as if they were officially announcing to the world that since the founding of the country, the third batch of nobles of the Ming Dynasty had officially ascended to the throne. On the stage of history!

In these scenes, the emperor was obviously at a loss, his face was panicked, and he tightly held the palm of the Empress Dowager Zhou.

The army is mighty, the Empress Dowager Zhou is a woman in the deep palace, she has never seen such a scene, but now, she can only calm down and caress the emperor, mother and child are dependent on each other, weak and helpless.

After awarding the award, Li Xiu didn't give the officials any time to react. He turned around, faced the Empress Dowager, and bowed again.

"Chen, I have something to play!"

"Qin Gong doesn't need to be too polite, just talk directly if you have something to say."

"The minister obeys the order!"

Li Xiu bowed again, then turned around again, waved his hand, and outside the hall, several guards in brocade clothes moved a map into the hall.

Under this situation, the officials were also a little stunned, but at this moment, no one dared to say anything.

Li Xiu didn't explain anything, let alone any long-winded nonsense, just like convening generals in the army to discuss matters, the topic was straight to the point!

"Although this battle has not done its best, the strategic goal has been achieved."

"Shanxi's thieves and Shanxi merchants are all punished, and Monan and Mobei have already surrendered to the Ming army at this moment. Although Liaozhen has changed, Shanhaiguan is still under control. The tens of thousands of sharp men in the Beijing camp are stationed, and they are all safe. .”

"In addition to Dongjiang Town, and its impact on North Korea..."

"Da Ming has actually formed a strategic and complete encirclement of Hou Jin and the rebellious Liao bandits!"

"Liaodong is bitterly cold and supplies are in short supply. It is absolutely impossible to support Hou Jin and the Liao bandits with only one place in Liaodong without external supplies!"

At this point in the speech, Li Xiu paused for a moment, looked around at the civil and military officials, and then slowly said: "This blockade, what is the blockade method, how to make the most of this blockade circle, how to achieve the greatest result with the least impact... Sir, please speak freely!"

This time, Li Xiu didn't look at the military general Xungui, but looked at the civil servants.

Not only because of this discussion, the cooperation and implementation of civil officials is indispensable, but also because the governance of the country is inseparable from civil officials.

After a moment of silence, the civil servants seemed to have reacted from the straightforward narrative style that had never been seen in the court, and whispered to each other, obviously discussing.

As for the military general Xungui, it is a bit unsightly. It seems that Li Xiu's existence has given them endless confidence. non-stop.

The most talked about is what kind of army pushed across, directly flattened the Liao bandits, and after pushing the Golden Tartars...

Even Lu Xiangsheng, who was originally a civil servant, has completely lost his literati temperament after being named uncle, and his voice is like a loudspeaker...

On the other side of the civil servants, there are officials who know Lu Xiangsheng, or are in the same batch of Jinshi as Lu Xiangsheng, and they all have disbelief at this moment...

In this situation, Li Xiu's cheeks twitched. He seemed to be able to understand Zhu Yuanzhang's feelings. They were all brothers who shared life and death on the battlefield, but they were all big and rough, and many of them still didn't know a single character. I can control them, but, after leaving the army and stepping into court, who can control them?

Li Xiu can control them, but... can he keep an eye on everyone all the time?

At this time, even though he was in the court hall, even though he had important matters to discuss, Li Xiu seemed to see the lawless scene of these big bastards in the future...

"Qin Gong, Sun has a bit of a humble opinion."

Amidst the hustle and bustle, Sun Chuanting walked out slowly, bowed to the Empress Dowager, and then bowed his hands to Li Xiu.

"Master, please tell me."

Li Xiu nodded.

"Monnan Mobei Mongolia surrendered, and the exchange of markets needs to be further strengthened to achieve the effect of driving tigers and wolves away. At the same time, we must not feed tigers into trouble."

"Shanhaiguan must maintain martial law, and absolutely no materials and personnel are allowed to flow into Liaodong and Dongjiang towns. The court needs to increase supplies..."

Sun Chuanting talked eloquently, and the hustle and bustle in the hall gradually returned to calm following his narration.

When Sun Chuanting's voice fell, Li Xiu did not say anything, but looked at the civil servants and generals present again.

Soon, civil servants came forward one after another, talking loudly, giving advice and suggestions, some with new ideas, or supplements, little by little enriching the overall grand strategy proposed by Li Xiu.

Facts once again prove that no matter who can stand in this court, no matter whether they are black or white, there is absolutely no mediocrity. It's just that this talent, in many cases, has no chance to be used, or is used in the wrong place.

It's just that, after all, there are only a very small number of civil servants who speak out, and most of them are silent. Obviously, the current situation in the court has not reassured them.

Li Xiu saw it in his eyes, but he didn't feel much.

This is normal.

Today's Chaotang, after so many cleanings before, already has a very good foundation.

He himself has a strong foundation, and it can even be said that the general trend is in me.

What needs to be done now is naturally not to use thunderous means, but to plan slowly, win the hearts of the court bit by bit, and then show the grand plan.

"Everything you said makes sense. I will trouble Mr. Sun Ge to preside over this matter."

Li Xiu's words undoubtedly caught Sun Chuanting off guard. Although the court's discussion was just a few words and opinions, it would not be easy at all to carry it out!

Not to mention the huge manpower and material resources involved, the most important thing is that this plan must involve the most elite army of the Ming Dynasty. In the past, even if he was the minister of the Ministry of War, he had never had the right to ask the slightest question. !

Doubt, shock...

However, Li Xiu obviously didn't give Sun Chuanting time to react, and when the subject changed, he turned to the next important thing.

"There are strong soldiers in northern Xinjiang, and there are also monan, desert and northern Mongolia to help. Shanhaiguan also has a large army hoarding, but Dongjiang and North Korea are still weak. I want to re-establish the governor of Denglai and train sharp soldiers in Dengzhou. Reorganize the navy, so that it can not only serve as a backing for the Dongjiang River, but also deter Liaodong, and support North Korea, what do you think, my lords?"

After saying this, the officials were silent, and Sun Chuanting was also taken aback after realizing it, his eyes subconsciously fixed on the map, and soon, he was a little stunned, cupped his hands and said:

"Every sentence that Duke Qin said is reasonable, and I think it is acceptable!"

"My minister agrees!"

"My minister agrees!"

The ministers seconded the proposal, as for the honorable general, upon seeing this, he stood up in a dignified manner and said a few words in a rare manner.

With the second opinion of the ministers, Li Xiugang was about to report to the emperor, but a discordant old voice suddenly broke the harmonious atmosphere.

"Duke Qin's scheme is indeed the best policy, but now the national treasury is empty, the daily expenses of the various ministries of the imperial court are still stretched, and the reward for the first contribution of the army has not yet been implemented, the riots are spreading everywhere, and the money consumed by the relief of the thieves has not been solved..."

"The imperial court is really unable to set up another town and train strong soldiers..."

Chapter 241 Congratulations

When he said this, the officials looked sideways, but when they saw that it was the old guy Li Qiyuan, Shangshu of the Ministry of Household Affairs, they all immediately looked at each other.

Looking at the trembling old man, Li Xiu was also a little speechless.

In fact, this old guy was the first one to approach him since he was ordered to assist the country.

only……

After this old guy approached, the first thing he did was to ask for money!

What are you talking about, the Duke of Qin assists the country in governing the country, is in charge of all government affairs, and the household department is empty. He wants to exempt the meritorious people from the household department from the first reward of silver, and even shamelessly beat up the money that was seized in Shanxi and the grasslands. idea.

After that, he handed over a large article on fiscal and taxation reform laws eloquently, and even Li Xiu felt that the laws in it were quite radical.

A capable minister, a capable minister, and a clean minister!

If he didn't know that this old guy is a clean stream in this turbid era, Li Xiu really wanted to chop this old guy up!

"Shangshu's words are reasonable, but this plan is related to the safety of Ming Dynasty and the national policy of Ming Dynasty. No matter how difficult it is, we must stick to it."

Speaking of this, Li Xiu glanced at the squinting Li Qiyuan, who was at ease, and said:

"In this grassland battle, the army also captured a lot, and some of them can be filled into the national treasury, and it can also alleviate the problem of the empty treasury!"

"What does Li Shangshu think?"

Li Qiyuan was also taken aback by these words. He said this, but he really had the idea of ​​treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor. After all, the national treasury is poor, but he is not poor. .

This time Shanxi copied the homes of those Shanxi merchants, how much he gained, he also inquired about it, and the countless gold and silver cattle and sheep seized from the grassland...

Adding all these together, he was extremely rich. If the emperor was still alive in the past, it would be difficult for him to have any ideas. After all, no matter how rich he was, he would have entered the internal coffers, and there was probably very little left to his treasury.

But now, the emperor has passed away, this wealth is still in the hands of the Duke of Qin, and it has not yet entered the internal funds. What's more, with the status of the Duke of Qin, there is no difference between whether the internal funds enter or not.

At the beginning, I wanted to rely on the past to beat the autumn wind, but I was dragged to do a round of Tai Chi, and returned in vain. Now, I took the initiative to send it to my door?

There is no reason not to send it to your door. As for whether Duke Qin has any plans...

He, Li Qiyuan, has nothing to worry about, he knows everything, so there is nothing to be afraid of.

"Duke Qin has made arrangements properly, I think it's okay!"

Li Qiyuan cupped his hands, said a word slowly, and retreated into the team.

Leaving only a series of surprised eyes, they flowed between Li Xiu and Li Qiyuan.
