Chapter two hundred and seventy-eight generals of the town
Someone once counted that the dynasty was the dynasty with the most imperial dynasties in history, among which Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Di, Xuanzong, and Yingzong all personally led the dynasty.
It is precisely because the emperors often commanded the military power and valued the control of military power that the Ming Dynasty did not emphasize literature and suppress military affairs at the beginning, as the Song Dynasty did. It was roughly a situation of equality between civil and military affairs.
However, since the Tumu Fort Incident, the situation has completely changed. Zhu Qizhen, who was extremely foolish, led an army of 500,000 people to personally attack the Mongolian Wala, but was eventually beaten to run away with his head and was caught, and almost couldn't come back.
That incident had an unprecedented blow to the Ming Dynasty, and the pattern of the Ming Dynasty also changed after that.
First of all, the ministers regarded the imperial commander as a fierce tiger. Secondly, the military power of the Ming Dynasty gradually fell into the control of civil officials. Civil officials were in charge of the government affairs on the left and military power on the right, and the power of the power was extremely popular. Since the Ming Dynasty, there have been secret cases where military generals met civil officials and were automatically inferior to the three levels.
Therefore, when Zhu Houzhao proposed to command the imperial throne, even Yang Ting and the cabinet chief promoted by him immediately objected.
Yang Tinghe had just spoken out, and the rest like Liu Zhong, Liang Chu and others immediately began to object.
What everyone said is roughly different, they are all about "a son of a thousand gold cannot sit in the hall", "a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall", "the safety of the emperor is related to the country, and the freedom of war is the general." And so on
Zhu Houzhao didn't expect that Yang Ting and they would react so fiercely to his personal command. He frowned and said, "Okay, let me not discuss this matter for now. Let me consider it and decide tomorrow morning."
Yang Ting and they thought Zhu Houzhao would give up the idea of taking the imperial command in person in the future. The few of them immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said in unison: "The emperor is wise, long live my emperor."
After the small council of the Qianqing Palace dispersed, Zhu Houzhao dismissed everyone, thinking alone in the Qianqing Palace how to persuade the ministers to come tomorrow morning, and then lead troops to the war.
At the same time, Jiang Xia, who had just returned to Xiaoyao Villa from kindergarten, met Geng Zhongqiu. As soon as Geng Zhongqiu saw Jiang Xia, he immediately said: "There is something wrong with the leader."
In Jiang Xia's study, Geng Zhongqiu told Jiang Xia the whole of the rebellion in Henan. After hearing this, Jiang Xia was furious: "Bastard, what are Liu Jin and Huang Feiyue doing for? What happened in Henan? Did you receive the news today?"
"What a pity, our royal family Dragon Detective has just been established, and the information scope has not yet been covered by Henan. Otherwise, we would have received the news early in the morning and it would not have turned into the current situation." Geng Zhongqiu said.
Jiang Xia turned the news that Geng Zhongqiu said in his mind, then shook his head and said, "This is wrong. The Emperor is preparing to build a river embankment once and for all, so he approved a total of 2 million taels of silver for the first and second time.
But now the Yellow River has broken its dam as soon as it started. Could the two million taels of silver be wasted like this? I'm afraid someone has greedy for these silver."
Geng Zhongqiu often stayed in the royal family Dragon Detective, and his sensitivity to politics is no longer low. When Jiang Xia said this, he murmured: "If it is really greedy, the Ministry of Works will definitely not escape the responsibility, and secondly, the Ministry of Revenue will definitely have problems."
"Henan Chengxuan's government commander, and the prefectural magistrate along the Yellow River embankment cannot be clean. Secondly, Liu Jin and Huang Feiyue, I don't believe they didn't get a share of the pie. Bastards, they are also greedy for the money that will be absent from their descendants." Jiang Xia said angrily.
Suddenly, Jiang Xia remembered that the current urgent task was not to hold who was responsible, but to solve the problem of Henan’s rebellion first.
Jiang Xia asked Geng Zhongqiu: "What is the emperor going to do with the current affairs?"
Geng Zhongqiu nodded and said, "Before I came, Lord Liang Chuliang of the Ministry of Personnel, sent someone to send a message to the royal family Dragon. He asked me to tell you that you should advise the emperor no matter what, and not let him lead the army in person."
"What? The second brother wants to be in charge of the army?" Jiang Xia immediately cursed in his heart, "Isn't this a nonsense? It's not a big battle to determine the country's destiny and promote the country's prestige. It's just an ordinary rioter who rebels. This is also worth in charge of the imperial pursuit. If you say it, you may laugh at the big teeth of the people in the world."
Jiang Xia suddenly stood up. He was going to go out to the Leopard Room to persuade Zhu Houzhao, but after he stood up, he sat back.
Jiang Xia pondered for a while, and then said to Geng Zhongqiu: "After going back, everyone who helped me to order the royal family Dragon Talents to say that no matter who asked me, I would tell him that I was ill and I haven't gone to the yamen recently. In the other hand, you went out and told Han Mufeng that I meant me and asked him to inform Xiaoyao Villa."
Geng Zhongqiu was a little puzzled and surprised: "Master, so if you say that, you are not going to take care of this matter?"
Jiang Xia nodded: "No matter what, it's just a mess. As long as the method is right, it can be solved quickly. If I check the silver construction of the Yellow River embankment after I take action, it will definitely fall on me again. That's an offensive job."
"Okay. I understand." After saying that, Geng Zhongqiu bowed to Jiang Xia and left.
The next morning, Jiang Xia said he was sick and did not attend court.
Such a big incident happened in Henan, so all civil and military officials were a little nervous when they went to court. With the eunuch accompanying him, "The Emperor is here"
The civil and military officials immediately knelt down on the ground and went up the mountain and shouted: "I will bow to the emperor and wish my emperor a long life."
Zhu Houzhao walked up to the four-sided platform with great enthusiasm and sat down on the dragon chaise. He raised his hands with his hands and said, "The family of all the ministers is flat."
"Thank you, the emperor." All the officials stood up.
Zhu Houzhao said, "I believe everyone knows that the Yellow River is flooding and breaking the dam, Henan is making trouble. The rest of the matter can be put aside this morning, mainly to discuss how to deal with this matter."
After saying that, Zhu Houzhao glanced at the Minister of Works and said lightly: "I took out a full 2 million taels of silver to build the Yellow River embankment this time. Who has paid so much silver to build the Yellow River embankment in all dynasties? Did my two million taels go to waste like this? If I don't get an explanation after dealing with the chaos in Henan, anyone related to this can go home first and wash their necks and wait for the head to land."
"Emperor, the empress is frightened." The Minister of Works fell to the ground first, trembling all over.
Zhu Houzhao sneered coldly and said lightly: "Tenior? If you are sitting upright, what's the point of being afraid of? Get out of the way. Now I want to discuss with all civil and military officials how to deal with the troublemakers in Henan."
"Yes, yes," the Minister of Works, a second-rank official, actually listened to Zhu Houzhao's words and went to the edge of the Supreme Hall.
Zhu Houzhao never looked at the Minister of Works again, but glanced at the ministers below and asked, "Your families, can there be a way to deal with the troubled people in Henan?"
"Go back to the emperor." Yang Tinghe stood up first and said after saluting: "The reason why these unruly people cause trouble is because natural disasters and man-made livelihoods are undoubtedly continued, so they take risks. It is not difficult to calm this matter. Just the court needs to immediately send food and grass to provide relief, and then send elite troops to quell the chaos and believe that the matter can be calmed down soon."
Zhu Houzhao sneered twice and said, "The unlucky people are against me, and I will send food and grass to help them? I think treating such unlucky people is just to warn you because of killing one. If I lead the army to march in person."
Just as the words "The Emperor's In-person Enlistment" were expressed, the ministers immediately objected. Yang Tinghe knelt on the ground and whispered: "The Emperor is the prodigal son of heaven. His personal safety concerns the country and the country. I hope the Emperor will not take risks."
"Please do not take risks with your own risk." The ministers knelt down on the ground and shouted.
Zhu Houzhao was not angry this time. He smiled slightly and said, "I have guessed that you would not agree to my commander-in-chief, but it doesn't matter. I will personally order generals today."
"The order was passed that Henan's troubled people should be punished for their crimes. Now, for the civilians, Zhu Shou was specially appointed as the general of the State, and led the Shenji Camp, Huben Guard, Yulin Guard, and Jinwu Guard to Henan to suppress the rebellion."
When the ministers heard that the emperor had no idea of the emperor's command in person, they were relieved, but Yang Tinghe, who was in charge of the Ministry of Personnel, and Wang Qiong, who was in charge of the Ministry of War, were confused.
Who is Zhu Shou? Why don’t you seem to have heard of it?
After Zhu Houzhao issued the imperial edict, he immediately stood up, waved his hand and said, "Let's stop here today's morning court, and leave the court."
"I wish to send you my emperor, long live my emperor."
After leaving the Supreme Palace, Zhu Houzhao returned to the Qianqing Palace. Not long after he sat down in the Qianqing Palace, Zhang Yong entered the palace and reported to Zhu Houzhao that it was Yang Tinghe and Wang Qiong who were here.
After hearing this, Zhu Houzhao asked Zhang Yong to bring the two in.
When entering the Qianqing Palace, Yang Tinghe and Wang Qiong bowed to Zhu Houzhao first, and then Yang Tinghe asked Zhu Houzhao: "You dare to ask the emperor, no official above the sixth rank in the Ministry of Personnel's sect is called Zhu Shou. Who is Zhu Shou?"
"There is no record of this person in the Ministry of War. The general of the State was in the second rank, and was generally used to be granted to the princes and princes. However, when the court was dispersed, the ministers also asked the clans' orders of the clans' mansion, and they also said that there was no record of this person. Who is this person? Please let the emperor tell me clearly." Wang Qiong politely to Zhu Houzhao.
Zhu Houzhao looked at the two of them, and suddenly raised her head and burst into laughter.
"Zhu Shou was born with the fortune of heaven and was born in the 95th century and was born tall, majestic and heroic. Who do you think it should be?"
Yang Tinghe was stunned. Zhu Houzhao's words "Great, great, heroic and extraordinary" are nonsense, but "born by nature and fate, I have the fate of nineteen" means that this person is qualified to be an emperor?
Yang Tinghe murmured: "Is the Emperor Zhu Shou?"
