With the loud noise, the smoke was pungent, and the grass was different from the head.

The palace servants around Zhu Youxiao covered their faces in fear, while Qi Jin and other generals of the brave guard camp laughed at each other, and their eyes were full of respect when they looked at Bi Maokang.

"The Emperor——"

At this time, when Wei Zhongxian saw that the emperor was very happy, he stepped forward and personally unfolded the Huang Ling script on the tray.

Zhu Youxiao picked it up and saw that it was a book written by Gu Bingqian, a Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, who requested Cui Chengxiu, the Minister of the Ministry of War to serve as the Minister of the Ministry of War.

Then, he snorted softly.

Wei Zhongxian looked down at the ground, waiting for the emperor's will with anxiety.

This memorial was naturally discussed by him and Gu Bingqian first.

The Minister of War Zhang Heming and Senator Wang Huazhen had such a big mess. If Mao Wenlong had not won a great victory in Yizhou and captured the son of the slave chief, he would have been afraid that Guangning would have fallen.

When the emperor started to rise, he wanted to re-engage Wang Huazhen, and Zhang Minghe, who supported him later, naturally had to be implicated.

But this scapegoat can only be stopped by Zhang Heming.

The position of Minister of War was not low, so he took this opportunity to return to Liaodong to retreat Zhang Heming, which was to follow the flow.

In the situation where more than 200,000 military and civilians in Liao areas were overthrown, no one would say a word.

Wang Huazhen was the disciple of Ye Xianggao, the chief assistant of the dynasty. This matter is well known in the court. If you continue to investigate, it will inevitably be implicated on Ye Xianggao's head.

Although Donglin has been suppressed by the "eunuch party", its power foundation is still there.

Wei Zhongxian wanted to change the position of Minister of War to his own, and then slowly plan to do so. Cui Chengxiu served as the minister of the Ministry of War for many years and was a hard-core eunuch, so he was naturally the best candidate.

Zhu Youxiao put the memorial back on the pallet, got up and went to the test gun yard, and two words came gently from behind:

"allow."

Wei Zhongxian was delighted and hurriedly signaled the eunuch to write a note to prepare for the subsequent drafting.

"See the Emperor."

The soldier who was testing the gun cleaned up the medicine and stood up to see the emperor and his group coming. He didn't dare to take a look, so he hurriedly bowed and bowed.

After taking the self-generated bird gun, Zhu Youxiao couldn't put it down.

This thing is the main firearm to deal with Jianlu in the future. After so long, the Ming Dynasty finally had its own gun.

Compared with the West, which was popularized in the mid-17th century, the progress of the Ming Dynasty under my leadership should be slow, right?

After thinking about it for a moment, Zhu Youxiao turned the bird gun and handed it to Qi Jin, let them pass it on, and said softly:

"How many shotgun soldiers are there in Yongwei Battalion now?"

Qi Jin and Chen Ce and others looked at each other, and the former said: "Return to the emperor, including General Chen and General Tong brought the Sichuan and Zhejiang soldiers and the Yongwei camp, there are now 10,000 soldiers who are good at fighting."

"Birdslingers, for a thousand men."

"Three thousand people, a little less..." Zhu Youxiao murmured, then turned his head and asked, "Mr. Bi, how much silver is needed to create five thousand self-generated bird guns?"

Bi Maokang made a brief estimate with several military weapon craftsmen behind him and bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the cost is 18,000 taels, which is not counted..."

Before he could finish his words, Zhu Youxiao waved his hand impatiently and said, "I will give you 30,000 taels to create 5,000 self-generated bird guns at the fastest speed."

The emperor is so decisive, what else can Bi Maokang say?

Seeing him saluting tremblingly, he responded.

"Qi Jin." Zhu Youxiao sighed and suddenly called again.

"I'm here!" Qi Jin said hurriedly.

"I know that training of bird gun soldiers is not difficult. Yongwei Battalion wants to recruit 4,000 new bird gun soldiers and be incorporated into the firearms camp. I will give you a month to practice."

As he said that, Zhu Youxiao turned his eyes slightly and asked, "Is it enough?"

"The emperor has his order, I will do my best!"

After hearing Qi Jin's answer, Zhu Youxiao was relieved and turned back to the inner palace.

......

Ganqing Palace, Xihunting Pavilion.

The two ministers looked down at the ground. The golden walls in the palace were prosperous, carved beams and painted buildings, and they had no thought of appreciating them.

Neither of them knew that the Xihun Pavilion was the place where the emperor handled the memorials, and summoned them from the cabinet's entrustment room. What was the so-called thing?

The young emperor was still reading the memorials one by one, as if he hadn't paid attention to their existence at all.

After a long time, a calm voice came from the imperial case.

"From today, you two don't have to go to the entrustment house."

Hearing this, Wang Zaijin and Gu Bingqian were both stunned and raised his head. When he looked at each other, he saw the same expression in the other party's eyes.

Faced with the emperor's nonsense, the two of them chose to close their mouths and wait for the following.

"From now on duty at Xihunting Pavilion every day."

"By the way, I have stopped talking every day. If you two gentlemen, if there is no major matter in the palace, you must always serve on the side, prepare consultants, discuss classics and history, and discuss poetry and prose, and do anything."

When he said this, Zhu Youxiao never looked up.

The emperor said calmly, but Wang Zaijin and Gu Bingqian both complained that the cabinet bachelor did not go to the check-in room to be on duty, but wanted to come to the West Warehouse. What does this mean?

"Don't think about it all. I'm just bored. I'll ask you to help you get rid of your boredom and go down."

"yes."

The two looked at each other, then spoke together and retreated together.

When they left the Xihunting Pavilion, Zhu Youxiao put down his brush and thought quietly.

From this incident in Guangning, we can see that the destruction of the foreign court is already difficult to return, and this is not something that can be solved by just eliminating Donglin.

In addition to the other dynasties, collusion between officials and businessmen in the Jiangnan area cannot be solved by just a few government orders.

The Supervisory Department was established in the north, because each town had a large number of troops loyal to the court guarding him.

During the establishment of Jiangnan, he encountered walls everywhere, and the Jinyiwei often suffered casualties.

This is not the "strong" customs of Jiangnan. It is because someone has realized from the changes in tariffs that they will attack merchants in the future.

If you really want to say something, the people will smash the supervisory office. This is not their original intention. The people are easily bewitched and used by people with ulterior motives and instructed them.

But can the imperial court slaughter the people at will? No.

How similar is this to the land of Liaodong where Jianlu drove the people to use their flesh shields to attack the city?

Therefore, in the court, Zhu Youxiao planned to gradually delegate greater rights to Lao Wei in his appointment and removal.

Knowing that Cui Chengxiu was a eunuch party, he still allowed him to take office. That's what he meant, and probably Wei Zhongxian should understand it.

Now Zhu Youxiao’s focus has been on the inner court.

This time, learning from Kang Mazi’s “Nan Study Room” is the first step, and he will copy the Military Affairs Office in the future.

Zhu Youxiao's purpose was to transfer certain functions and rights of the external court cabinet to the inner court and implement a high degree of centralization.

Since the outer court is useless and the tail is too big, I might as well not need the outer court and set up a small "morial court" that only obeys one's orders.

From then on, the Xihunting Pavilion will not only be the place where the emperor handles government affairs, but also become a power center that everyone knows everything about the government and the public, and everyone wants to come in after they are squeezed.

Gu Bingqian may not be very capable, but he is absolutely obedient and is also the most prestigious civil servant among the "eunuch party".

As for Wang Zaijin, although Zhu Youxiao had given him a lot of rights, due to various reasons, even after entering the cabinet, he was not so easy.

This time, he was transferred to Xihunting Pavilion to work, which not only increased his prestige, but also told all the literati that even if you were from Donglin, you would still be trusted by the emperor.
