Chapter 444: Intervening in the situation in Shanshan and Shaanxi

Forbidden City, Ganqing Palace.

A palace maid brought a cup of fragrant tea, walked into the Western Warehouse, bowed and placed it on the imperial desk, uncovered the lid of the bowl, and then gently retreated, as if it had never been in the future.

"Your Majesty, just moisten your throat!"

Hearing Wang Chaofu's words, Zhu Youxiao put down his memorial, moved his eyes slightly, glanced at the tea bowl, picked it up and took a few sips.

Putting down the tea bowl, Zhu Youxiao picked up the memorial and looked word by word.

There was a smell of powder on the palace maid's body, and half of her cheeks were lit on her face. Zhu Youxiao didn't feel anything. He seemed to have not smelled it or seen it, and he just kept reading the memorial.

Wang Chaofu told the palace maid to go down and said softly:

"The emperor has been tired for a day and it's late at night. Let's go in and rest."

Zhu Youxiao looked at him after hearing this, put down the memorial and stood up from the dragon chaise, stretched his body, and just when Wang Chaofu thought he was going back to sleep, he sat down again.

"You guys can't sleep, I can't sleep..." Zhu Youxiao laughed at himself, picked up Zhu Biyu and commented a few words before he could finish it.

"Send these notebooks to the military computer room, let the military computer ministers read them and then bring them to the cabinet, and ask them to see them all. By the way, what do you think of the method of damaging Liao that Wei Guangwei mentioned last time?"

After Zhu Youxiao finished speaking, he looked at Wang Chaofu on one side.

Just as a young eunuch came in and moved the notebook out, another eunuch passed by him and moved more notebooks into the West Warehouse.

Wang Chaofu looked at the mountain of memorials? He sighed in his heart and said in panic:

"I just take care of Your Majesty's food, clothing, daily life and life in the Qing Palace. How can I have any opinions on these things? If I had any insights, I would not have entered the palace."

Zhu Youxiao laughed? He pointed at him with his fingers a few times.

"You, I remember correctly that Wei Zhongxian recommended it to me, right? Is it really smart? I feel comfortable to use it."

"But even Wei Zhongxian? Sometimes he makes mistakes!"

"He recommended him to Gao Di from Shanhaiguan and Wang Hai, the governor of the canal transportation."

"Gaodi's retreating action made me lose a good general? Wang Hai and the Fan family are in vain? Transfer food and grass to Jiannu outside the pass. Do you know that they are the mortal enemies of the Ming Dynasty!"

When Zhu Youxiao said this, he smiled a few times and asked, "Since you don't understand Liao affairs? Then I can't just let you go. What do you think of Wei Zhongxian?"

After saying that, Zhu Youxiao picked up the teacup and continued to drink it.

When asked, Zhu Youxiao's expression was not abnormal at all? But this question is very unusual. Let me tell you how Wei Zhongxian is.

The emperor asked what he wanted to do? Could it be that he no longer trusted the factory?

Wang Chaofu didn't dare to answer casually? After thinking for a while, he was about to speak, but Zhu Youxiao threw away the notebook and stood up and shouted:

"Come here, bring your foot wash!"

After a moment, two palace maids came.

One person was carrying a square shelf carved with red sandalwood, and the other person followed in and placed the gilded copper basin containing hot water at Zhu Youxiao's feet.

The palace maid put his hand into the copper basin and tried it. When he found that the temperature was right, he knelt in front of him from left and right with another palace maid and took off his boots for Zhu Youxiao.

After taking off his boots, the palace maid took off his white cloth socks for Zhu Youxiao one by one.

Zhu Youxiao is a sweaty woman. Today he went out to run again. In addition, the boots of this era really cover their feet. The moment he took off his socks, he even smelled the smell of his feet.

But the two palace maids didn't seem to be dirty, and they didn't even see any strange things on their faces. They put Zhu Youxiao's smelly feet in a copper basin and washed them.

Zhu Youxiao leaned comfortably on the couch, feeling the relaxation on his feet.

Two palace maids lowered their heads and washed their feet. Although their white and tender hand movements were light, they washed carefully. Even the little black mud hidden in the cracks of their toes was washed clean.

After the first cleaning, the palace maids quickly poured out the dirty water and brought clear hot water to soak Zhu Youxiao's feet, and his slender hands were also constantly moving.

Zhu Youxiao was almost asleep, but suddenly opened his eyes, looked at the palace maid who was hanging her head and washing her feet, looked at Wang Chaofu again, breathed a sigh of relief, and murmured to himself:

"At this time, the person who sent the order should also go to Taiyuan."

......

At the same time, Taiyuan Prefecture, Shanxi Province.

Zhu Xieyuan first made contributions to pacifying the chieftain in the southwest, and then served as the governor to lead his army out of seclusion to repel the barbarians. Now he has a very high prestige.

In order to deal with the abolition of military arranging in the Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces, Zhu Youxiao appointed the position of governor of Shanxi and Shaanxi a few months ago, and was appointed as Zhu Xieyuan.

Like the governor of Shanxi and Shaanxi, the governor of Shanxi is a temporary addition, not a long-term official position.

The difference between the two is that once the supervisor arrives at a certain place, he can fully control the military and political power of a certain place. Even the positions of governors and other officials have the power to dismiss first and then report.

To put it bluntly, the supervisor is equivalent to the "emperor" who will go down. If one person is below ten thousand people, you will be directly the military and political chief who holds real power when you go to one place.

As for the Governor, there are also differences.

For example, the current governor of Shanxi and Shaanxi, Zhu Xieyuan belongs to the governor of the two provinces, and all the military and political powers of Shanxi and Shaanxi are in his hands.

The governor's power is not as important as the supervisor. Although the governor and the general obey the orders, he does not have the right to dismiss the office. He only has the right to dismiss the office for some local small officials to dismiss the office first and then report.

Despite this, the power of the governor of one province or two provinces, or even many provinces is much greater than that of ordinary officials of the border.

This position and the current situation emerged. The military situation in Shanxi and Shaanxi has been decomposed for a long time, and the officialdom situation is complicated, and the local powerful forces are intricate.

For Zhu Youxiao, the best way is to directly appoint a governor, whose power is above all forces, and use the "God's perspective" to manage himself with full authority.

After many considerations, Zhu Xieyuan set up the Governor's Office in Taiyuan.

It was already the hour of Hai. Except for the occasional sounds made by the soldiers patrolling the night and the yamen runners, the entire Taiyuan City was pitch black, and the entire town seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep.

The Governor's Office was still brightly lit. Zhu Xieyuan had just sent off the imperial envoy who had issued the late night order, turned around to face the base map of Shanxi and Shaanxi, and sighed heavily.

Now, he finally knew what the emperor wanted to come over himself.

The two provinces of Shanxi and Shaanxi are not only weak in military preparations, but also in the local area, including vassal kings, powerful men, civil officials, military generals, garrisons, horse bandits, bandits..., and various forces are intricate.

Many people can see that the imperial court established the Governor of Shanxi and Shaanxi this time, but it was actually impossible to stand it and wanted to control the situation in Shanxi and Shaanxi.

As expected, after Zhu Xieyuan arrived in Taiyuan to establish the Governor's Office, various situations soon followed one after another.

There are many government affairs and chaotic military affairs. Those big-headed soldiers are still unwilling to obey discipline. If they are not convinced, they may cause a mutiny.

The most important thing is the land of the garrison. After preliminary investigation, Zhu Xieyuan quickly discovered that almost 70% of the land in Shanxi Province were occupied by these royal children.

To reform the military facilities of the garrison, we must take back the original garrison and divide the land, but to get back these acres, it will inevitably arouse the dissatisfaction of the children of the royal family.

Zhu Xieyuan was already in a difficult situation. In addition to what he had to do, Zhu Youxiao threw him a hot potato - Shanxi Shang.

Zhu Xieyuan sighed that almost everything he was going to accomplish in Shanxi and Shaanxi was extremely difficult.

According to the emperor's repeated expressions, what he needed was a complete reshuffle between Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces from top to bottom, rather than a small fight.
