Although Hu Zhao and others in the Southeast Theater did not cause any trouble and turmoil to the country of Daming this time, they still added a lot of blockages to Zhu Yunwen's heart.

It is true that none of the more than a dozen generals and officials since Hu Zhao and his subordinates were corrupt, and none of them had done anything that hurt nature and reason, but when they recklessly stretched out their hands to political decision-making, it showed that the hearts of these people had deteriorated, and corruption and serious crimes were only a matter of time or time.

These generals are still applying the old traditions of hundreds or thousands of years in their rough thinking, or even more crazy that this world is still the world of five dynasties and ten countries, and there are soldiers who are the king of grass.

Holding military power in his hands, that is, the emperor should always give a little face.

Talking about politics and the spirit of the Central Committee with soldiers with this kind of thinking is undoubtedly playing the harp to the ox, this kind of is the so-called military tiger, and if you want to purify the military power, these people are the poison of the army that must be eliminated.

The new commanders of the Southeast Theater and several provinces in the south of the Yangtze River were quickly elected, and they were promoted at the first level, and the fastest among them was Ge Lei, the political commissar of the Nanjing Garrison, who was directly promoted to become the general political commissar of the entire Southeast Theater.

From three products to one product.

After the new leadership group of the southeast side was set up, the first thing they did was to jointly write a letter of expression.

Like the other three theaters, the southeast has stated that it will resolutely obey the central government's resolution and become a people's army with excellent political quality that can reassure the emperor and the country.

It was not until after the statement of the Southeast Theater arrived in Beijing that Zhu Yunwen took out the letters of the other three theaters and handed them together to the General Administration of Newspapers of the Department of Communications and Political Affairs, and wrote them into the two newspapers and periodicals to distribute to the world.

"The four major theaters said that they will firmly implement the instructions of the monarch on army building, work tirelessly to fulfill their duties in public service, and realize the requirements of strictly administering the army, treating the army with favor, and loyally leading the army."

After the four major theaters expressed their stance one after another, the Department of General Administration successively published letters expressing the position of the provincial capitals of the country, and the provinces and localities were separated from the five military governments with a clear-cut banner, and shouted out that they would resolutely obey the cabinet's resolution on comprehensively refining the management methods of the local armed forces.

Now, the Five Military Mansion has completely become yesterday's yellow flower, and on this day, Xu Huizu walked into the Qianqing Palace alone.

"I really envy you, Duke Wei."

When the two of them met, there was not the slightest smell of gunpowder, and they sat opposite each other, with eight dishes of side dishes, two bowls of rice, and a pot of hot soup.

Zhu Yunwen served Xu Huizu a bowl of soup, and when he took the spoon, he sighed with emotion: "You don't like Beijing, I know it, my wife fell ill after coming to Beijing, and it took several months to recover."

This time you can go back to Nanjing to enjoy your old age, Nanjing is good, the fourth uncle is also there, you old brothers can get together again, play chess in your spare time, drink wine, or watch two ball games, shoot targets with guns, good, good, good. ”

On this side, Xu Huizu thanked Zhu Yunwen for his kindness, and nodded with a soup spoon: "Yes, the minister is going back to Nanjing, but it has suffered Your Majesty, and he has to work state affairs here." ”

When he came to the palace today, Xu Huizu took the initiative to submit his resignation, he wanted to resign from the position of the Governor of the Left Governor of the Central Military Governor's Mansion, as for the Lord Guogong on his head, he also wanted to get rid of it, but Zhu Yunwen did not agree.

Hold on to it, wait until a hundred years later, it will naturally be gone, and there is no need to take it away.

"If others hear this, they don't think that our monarchs and ministers are too hypocritical."

Zhu Yunwen smiled: "When I finish this matter, I will retreat and go to Nanjing to find you, Wei Guogong, you and the fourth uncle must take care of your health." ”

Xu Huizu's face froze, and the news contained in this sentence shocked him a little.

The emperor actually wanted to Zen the throne?

Think about how old Zhu Yunwen is this year, it is the age of the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, how can he want to retire.

As for what Fang Cai said, Xu Huizu knew what Zhu Yunwen was referring to, and was silent for a long time before answering.

"Where is this easy thing to do, even if the Fifth Military Government gives way to it, there will be new people blocking this road, and there will be no shortage of successors."

"Eh, if you don't say this, it will only increase your troubles." Zhu Yunwen waved his hand, buried his head in picking up the rice in his bowl, and handed it to Shuangxi on the side, who added another bowl.

Xu Huizu smiled: "Your Majesty's appetite is good, and it seems that the mood should be excellent." ”

The two of them chatted a few more words, and when they filled their stomachs, Xu Huizu did not sit for a long time, got up and wanted to leave, and paused and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has a reluctant request. ”

"You say, I will allow everything I can do."

"After all, the minister is over sixty years old, and he will go to Nanjing, and his life will be unpredictable, if the minister dies, he will ask His Majesty to allow the minister to be buried back to the ancestral land of Fengyang."

This seemingly simple request made Zhu Yunwen silent for a long time before nodding.

"I've got, let's go."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Minister, farewell."

Xu Huizu bowed down in his robe, solemnly paused three times, and after getting up, there was no trace of nostalgia, and he left the Qianqing Palace with firm and relieved steps.

The rest of Zhu Yunwen looked at Xu Huizu's back in a daze, sighed for a long time, and laughed at himself.

"In your eyes, I am such a ruthless and affectionate king, and the friendship between monarchs and ministers for more than 20 years is now a knife or two."

Xu Huizu's request before leaving was a bit heart-wrenching for Zhu Yunwen.

He is the prince of the country, he died, according to the ritual law, he should be buried on the bank of the bell tomb in Nanjing with the rites of the prince, and the thick burial of him will be better for Zhu Yunwen's reputation, and the people of later generations will not know the story of the present dynasty, and they will not blame the emperor for being cold-blooded.

But Xu Huizu invited himself to be buried in the ancestral land of Fengyang, that is, the fallen leaves returned to the roots, and he did not want the courtesy of the prince to ask for peace of mind.

From the moment he left the palace, he was no longer Xu Huizu, the Duke of Wei in the Ming Dynasty, he was just a flat-headed commoner Xu Huizu.

Worried that his future death would be used by Zhu Yunwen to make a fuss or have other places to use, he begged Zhu Yunwen to let him live more comfortably for the rest of his life.

In other words, these people are afraid of Zhu Yunwen.

The emperor is too cold-blooded, and he will squeeze the use value of others out of everything to achieve his own goals, whether this purpose is great or narrow, it is a misfortune for those who are used.

The sentimental mood only lingered on Zhu Yunwen's face for a moment, and then quickly disappeared, this way stopped and stopped, Zhu Yunwen was used to this kind of dispersion, these things will only make him more determined, and it will never become a fetter to restrict his footsteps.

After drinking a cup of herbal tea, Zhu Yunwen exhaled a long breath, and he was refreshed.

"Double happiness."

"The slave is here."

"The draft edict, the cabinet has submitted a resolution to eliminate the five military governments, and it will be issued to the world."

Shuangxi sighed, and was just about to leave, but heard Zhu Yunwen say again.

"Now that the Fifth Military Government has retired, the 'succession plan' can be launched."
