Chapter 2244 Zhou Tingru gave Zhang Weixian a secret glance

Zhu Youjian, who had been in the capital of the Ming Dynasty, had two years of Dabao, had a few more white hairs in his temples in just a few days. He was determined to be the leader of the revival. Since he succeeded to the throne, he has handled government affairs almost all night long. His rest time has been compressed to the limit every day. He does not love beauty, does not love carpenters and other messy things.

Yuan Chonghuan proposed the strategy of pacifying Liao for five years, and Zhu Youjian gave the other party absolute trust and absolute power. Even in June this year, Yuan Chonghuan beat the rules to kill a general like Mao Wenlong, Zhu Youjian endured it and did not sue him.

Most of the tax revenue of the Ming Dynasty was used to fill the big hole in Liaodong, which made Zhu Youjian’s daily life save as much as possible and as simple as possible. Everything was fine, but why did the Tatars suddenly enter the pass from Longjing Pass, Da'ankou and other places?

Once the Tartars conquered Zunhua, it would not take long before the troops would come to the city.

Such bad news almost collapsed, and almost fainted several times. He sat in a daze behind the imperial case in a daze until the young eunuch Wang Chengen came and whispered that several cabinet ministers and British dukes were coming.

Zhu Youjian suddenly woke up, "Hurry up, no, I will go to greet the gentlemen in person."

Soon, the ministers of the Ming Dynasty cabinet were welcomed into the Ganqing Palace, Zhou Tingru, Cheng Jiming, and British Duke Zhang Weixian.

Although Zhu Youjian had only two years ascended the throne, the cabinet ministers of the Ming Dynasty still changed a lot. Last year, Yang Jingchen was removed, Shi Fenglai and Zhang Ruitu and other cabinet ministers were dismissed, and several cabinet ministers were promoted in the meeting, which was called the Ji-death. Last year, the cabinet ministers were the first in the list of recommendations, but that time the promotion was invalid. In October this year, the Tartars went south from Longjing Pass and Da'ankou. Cheng Ji strongly recommended Zhu Youjian to use Sun Chengzong, and fought against many opposition parties in the court. He was praised by Zhu Youjian and entered the cabinet quickly in early November.

Now, Zhu Youjian still has several admirers who hope they will enter the cabinet, but they have not had time to handle it.

Zhou Tingru is the current chief assistant of the Ming Dynasty.

When the three of them entered, Zhu Youjian couldn't help but say hurriedly, "Zhou Yuanfu, Mr. Cheng, what is the defense of the capital now? If the Later Jin Tartars break through Zunhua, Tongzhou and other places and fight to the capital city, what are the measures for the gentlemen?"

"Old Duke, how about the Beijing camp station now? Can you guard the capital well?"

This is not the first time Zhu Youjian asked about this question. Now he is urgently asking again. It is nothing more than being young and hastened to take office without experiencing any imperial education. He has experienced such a huge change in just two years after taking office. Zhu Youjian was too confused.

The two assistant ministers and Zhang Weixian looked at each other, and the British public sighed, and then said, "Don't worry, your Majesty, the capital can fight, you dare to fight! The capital must be safe!"

Zhou Tingru gave Zhang Weixian a secret blank look. Can the Beijing camp fight and dare to fight? Are you fooling around? But he will not destroy the situation and spoke with certainty, "Don't worry, your Majesty, the royal army of all parties is coming, and the Liaodong army is also entering the pass one by one. Even if the Jurchen Tatars enter the pass, they will only fight Qiufeng and have to retreat."

Cheng Jiming said, "There are many righteous people in the capital to form a team. They just wait for the Tartars to appear and fight to defend our emperor and the Tartars. There are even court officials like Qian Hongzai who personally went up to the front line of the city wall and the soldiers to persevere diligently. The right time, place, people and fear are on our side. Your Majesty, don't worry, there will be no problems in the capital."

The Qian Hongzai he mentioned was Qian Xiangkun, the current Minister of Rites.

Zhu Youjian's face eased significantly, especially when he heard Qian Xiangkun's name, his eyes lit up. Qian Xiangkun was originally one of his goals for hope that the other party would enter the cabinet.

In addition to Qian Xiangkun, Qian Xiangkun’s teacher Wen Tiren is also the object of his investigation.

"It is my blessing to have all the ministers here. However, since the Tumu Fort of Yingzong, this is the first time that a Tartar invaded our capital. Why has the situation become like this? In order to deal with the Jurchen Tartars, the huge amount of money in the treasury will flow to Liaodong every year. Yuan Chonghuan also vowed to pacify Liao in five years, so why did they beat him to the capital?"

As soon as these words were said, Zhou Tingru and the other two kept silent, and everyone was speechless. After all, everyone was not clean about Liao Sheng.

How many civil and military people in the court are working hard?

Even if the British Duke takes less and civil servants occupy more, what about the Beijing camp? If you eat empty salary and drink blood from soldiers, then you are not as good as Liaodong. At least the current Jing camp does not have the elite soldiers like the Guanning Iron Cavalry.

The three of them kept silent. When Zhu Youjian was thinking, a figure hurried from outside, arrived at Zhu Youjian and leaned over to salute, "Your Majesty, the famous governor Lu Xiangsheng, led 10,000 soldiers to the city, waiting for His Majesty to summon him."

Zhu Youjian was overjoyed, "Xuan Luqing."

The King's Recruitment is here? Even if the number of 10,000 is a little small, it is a little more during the period when the Tartars moved south.

He now has no impression or concept of the name Lu Xiangsheng, but the prefect who came so quickly must be worthy of his appreciation.

The figure immediately took the order to go out.

After a while, he chatted with Zhou Tingru, Zhang Weixian and others at the Qianqing Palace. After these people left, Zhu Youjian was excited to wait.

He also took information about Lu Xiangsheng. After seeing it, he realized that he was a Jinshi in the second year of Tianqi. He was the first to serve as the head of the Ministry of Revenue and was promoted step by step to the position of Daming Prefect.

After waiting for a while, when the person who had come to report before entered the palace, Zhu Youjian said curiously, "Where is Cao Daban, where is Lu Qingren?"

This is Zhu Youjian's great companion Cao Huachun. He watched Zhu Youjian grow up since childhood. Although he offended the powerful Wei Zhongxian and was sent to Nanjing for a few years, after Zhu Youjian ascended the throne, he immediately pulled him back to his side and used it.

Even Wang Chengen, who was with Zhu Youjian, was also an eunuch under Cao Huachun's name.

Cao Huachun's expression was a little strange, "Your Majesty, something unexpected happened. There was a Dongchang factory next to Prefect Lu."

Zhu Youjian was confused, "Dongchang Factory Mansion? Admiral?"

After Wei Zhongxian, Zhu Youjian basically abolished his martial arts skills, and all the Jinyiwei in the East Factory... Of course, these two organizations still exist. For example, Luo Yangxing was the commander of the Jinyiwei, and the Zifeiwei was the commander of the Jinyiwei, which meant that Zhu Youjian basically didn't use those people.

Has he ever enfeoffed the new admiral of the East Factory?

No one went to the admiral of the East Factory, Cao Huachun and Gao Qiqian, who Zhu Youjian trusted the most.

Cao Huachun also said dizzyly, "That person who claims to be Tian Yi and Eunuch Tian who are by Grandpa Wanli."

Zhu Youjian almost whispered, Tian Yi next to Grandpa Wanli? Didn’t he die 24 years ago? If Tian Yi was still alive, Zhu Youjian would probably jump up happily. He was a famous eunuch who was honest and honest. Together with Chen Ju, he was one of the most respectable eunuchs in the imperial court in the Ming Dynasty.

His grandfather Wanli was sad for three days because of Tian Yi's death.

Cao Huachun also smiled bitterly, "The problem lies here. The old slave has also seen the portrait of Eunuch Tian, ​​and it is really similar to that person."
