Just when Wang Yuansheng was full of speed, the pattern of the Ming court ushered in drastic changes.

Yang Tinghe and Yang Tingyi, brothers, because of the death of their father, went home at the same time to mourn Ding Wei. Between the monarchs and ministers, they also played a trick of three resignations and three stays, but Zhu Houzhao still did not leave Yang Tinghe behind after all.

Yang Tinghe left the Jingshi with the front foot, and the back foot of the court carried out a major reshuffle.

Liang Chu took over Yang Tinghe's position and became the new Ming first assistant.

Yang Yiqing, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, entered the cabinet, Lu Wan, the secretary of the Ministry of War, was transferred to the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, Wang Qiong, the secretary of the Ministry of Households, was transferred to the secretary of the Ministry of War, and Shi Jue, the right capital of Yushi, was promoted to the secretary of the Ministry of Households.

There are now four cabinet ministers: Liang Chu, Fei Hong, Yang Yiqing and Jin Gui.

Jin Gui, the old man of Jin Wei, was already appointed into the cabinet by the emperor when Wang Yuan had just led his troops to the expedition.

What is more interesting is the secretary of the Ministry of Shangshu Lu Wan, this gentleman is Yang Tinghe's hardcore confidant. As soon as Yang Tinghe left, he immediately became Liang Chu's hardcore confidant. At the same time, he is also Jiang Bin's "best friend", and his relationship with Qian Ning is also very good. This is exquisite, and at the same time pleases Shoufu, border generals, eunuchs, Jinyi guards, and even keeps in touch with King Ning.

With such a good look, it is bound to be a lot of bad things.

In order to curry favor with Liang Chu, Lu Wan once helped settle Liang Gongzi's 300 murders. In order to curry favor with Jiang Bin and Qian Ning, he privately sent a lot of silver, and naturally he wanted to double the corruption and get it back. Historically, Peng Ze made the situation in the Western Regions erosive, and Lu Wan was able to cover the sky with one hand and press the impeachment chapter of the official.

The official department was changed from Yang Yiqing to Lu Wan, and the rule of the Ming Dynasty was indescribable.

The captives and the envoys of Fanbang were still halfway there, and the 800-mile expedited military situation had already entered Beijing.

"Great victory! Emperor, great victory in the Western Regions! ”

A eunuch ran in the leopard room and ran to Zhu Houzhao, who was enjoying the flowers with Concubine Zhuang.

"Great victory in the Western Regions?"

Zhu Houzhao suddenly came to his senses and said happily: "But Wang Erlang won the battle again?" ”

The eunuch smiled and said: "Emperor, not only is it a victory, Master Wang destroyed Turpan, and he also captured the enemy chief Sutan Mansuer, and expanded the land for me for 2,000 miles!" ”

Zhu Houzhao won the military newspaper, and the more he looked at it, the more he was happy, and said with emotion: "What a Wang Erlang, I really didn't disappoint me." ”

The eunuch said again: "Your Majesty, the commander of the Jinyi Wei Zhu asks to see you." ”

Zhu Houzhao said: "Let him in." ”

Qian Ning didn't jump so much anymore, and he was also a lot more angry in front of Zhu Houzhao, he knelt down and bowed: "Your Majesty, Master Wang has a secret letter, and I will pass it to Your Majesty by the Jinyi Guard." ”

The previous military report was for the Ministry of War.

Now this secret letter is for the emperor to see. It is sealed with fire paint, and passed through the brocade guard, so it is not afraid of being peeped at halfway.

Zhu Houzhao opened the fire paint and found that this secret letter was much more detailed than the military report.

Wang Yuan carefully explained how he recruited the Mongolian tribes, how he burned and looted Turpan, how he provoked Man Su'er to take the initiative to send troops, how he ran thousands of miles to copy the back road, and how he ambushed the valley and pursued the victory, from beginning to end. Then, he analyzed the situation in the Western Regions and asked the Ministry of Household Affairs to allocate funds as soon as possible, hoping that the imperial court would send monks to the Western Regions again. There is also to appease and canonize the Western Regions tribes, and recommend Zhu Dangshu to guard Turpan for generations.

Even, Wang Yuan also gave a map of the Western Regions so that Zhu Houzhao could understand it more intuitively.

Under the great joy of destroying the country and expanding the land, Zhu Houzhao almost completely agreed to Wang Yuan's various requests, except for some scruples about leaving King Guishan in the Western Regions to guard.

Wang Yuan said in the letter: "The land of the Western Regions is full of powerful countries, and they are all ambitious. Samarkand (Uzbekistan) has 200,000 troops, brave and good at fighting, and invincible in the Western Regions. The Kazakh Khanate had 300,000 troops, crisscrossing the western steppes, and its national strength was far superior to that of the little Mongolian prince. The Yeerqiang Khanate was located in Xiangyang, and once led 1,500 horsemen to defeat the 20,000 army of Yueibei Khan head-on, and captured more than 3,000 people. The northern Warat tribes can go south at any time to plunder Turpan and Guanxi Qiwei. The Seven Guards of Kansai and the Xinfu tribe are wild and untamable, and since the powerful enemy Turpan has been destroyed, they will be obedient today and will be able to rebel tomorrow. It is necessary to guard the Western Regions with the Ming royal family and immigrate to the settlement, so that the long-term peace and stability can be achieved, so that the countries dare not look eastward! ”

Zhu Houzhao thought hard for a long time, and ordered: "Recruit the cabinet ministers and the six Shangshu, and come to the leopard room immediately to discuss matters!" ”

……

At the same time that Zhu Houzhao received the news, the military department also received good news.

After Wang Qiong read the report, she couldn't believe it. He used to be in charge of the household department, and now he is in charge of the military department, and even what the Ming army is like, he also knows how difficult it is to fight on the frontier.

Wang Yuan actually took 1,000 cavalry, 3,000 firecrackers, and hundreds of craftsmen to destroy the country in the Western Regions, capture the enemy chieftain alive, expand more than 2,000 miles of land for the Ming Dynasty, and also subdue the Xiaolie Bald Department and the Yibu Division. Xiao Liebald used to follow Wara, and Yibu used to follow the little Mongolian prince, which was the fierce enemy of the Ming Dynasty!

As for the Kansai Seven Guards, in fact, two have been destroyed, and all of them are only two or three thousand horsemen, and they are all some rabble.

With this amount of troops at hand, it is more than enough to recover Hami, but it is very difficult to defeat Turpan head-on.

Wang Yuan not only defeated Turpan, but also destroyed Turpan!

This is, it's like Ban Dingyuan is reincarnated.

Wang Qiong called a few soldiers over, took out the report document and said, "Look, Bachelor Wang has made a great contribution again. ”

After reading it, everyone looked at each other.

Among them, Wang Jing, an old minister of the Three Dynasties, was supposed to go to Gansu at this time to take over Peng Ze's errand general system. But because of Wang Yuan's relationship, Peng Ze did not go to Gansu, and Wang Jing could not go to Gansu.

Wang Jing patrolled Shanxi four years ago and directly built more than 10,000 muskets, for fear that the iron sand would be too powerful, so he actually placed poisoned arrows in the three-eyed gun, which was quite a bit of "three thousand for your life".

The old gentleman took the battle report and praised it: "There is no such thing as a miracle in the world!" ”

Wang Qiong gloated: "Shi Shangshu should have a headache." ”

The newly appointed Shangshu Shi Jue of the Ministry of Households, purely Zhu Hou took care of his eyes, thinking that this was an honest and upright old gentleman.

Whether it is honest and upright, let's leave it aside for the time being, and the courage is definitely very big.

Zhu Houzhao later drove the expedition in person, and Shi Jue was in charge of the household department, but he did not send food and salary to the emperor, and he was urged by the emperor to be ruthless before half of it was transported. When Wang Yangming was suppressing bandits in Jiangxi, Shi Jue directly cut off Wang Yangming's salary source in the name of reforming commercial taxes, just because Wang Yangming was a confidant of his political opponent Wang Qiong.

Zhu Houzhao was simply dizzy this time, and appointed Lu Wan, who was a favoritist and fraudster, as the secretary of the ministry, and Shi Jue, who dared to cut off the front-line salary, as the secretary of the household department.

"Wang Shangshu, Your Majesty invites you to go to the leopard room to discuss matters!"

Wang Qiong quickly came to the leopard room, and the cabinet and the six ministries came one after another.

Zhu Houzhao was in a happy mood and asked with a smile: "How should I reward Wang Erlang this time?" ”

Jin Gui said: "Such a miraculous feat, at least it should be given to the right attendant of the military department." ”

Wang Qiong echoed: "It should be so. ”

Shi Jue, the head of the household, suddenly said: "The minister thinks that he should be a marquis!" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was surprised, and they didn't know what kind of wind this old guy was smoking.

When Wang Yuan was in the capital, Shi Jue patrolled all over the country all the year round, and there was no intersection between the two at all, let alone any contradictions. Moreover, Shi Jue is not a person from Yang Tinghe and Liang Chu, and it is because of this that Zhu Houzhao promoted him to be the secretary of the household department.

This guy couldn't fight Wang Yuan, but he suddenly jumped out and made trouble, wanting to ruin Wang Yuan's political future.

Zhu Houzhao's face suddenly darkened, and he realized that he didn't know anyone.

But there is no way to remove it, because two months ago, the cabinet recommended many candidates, but Zhu Houzhao did not agree, and it was not until he recommended Shi Jue that he was approved, and this household secretary was equivalent to his handpick.

Shi Jue is the kind of standard civil official who dares to give direct advice, advocates throttling, opposes military affairs, and looks down on military generals, eunuchs and ministers.

In Shi Jue's eyes, Wang Yuan was not called opening up the territory at all, but was provoking the border, bringing unlimited financial pressure to the household department. Shi Jue believes that Wang Yuan must be strangled to death as soon as possible, otherwise there will be trouble in the future, and the Ming finances will collapse by Wang Yuan sooner or later.

What if Wang Yuan is the emperor's favorite?

Shi Jue still dared to stand up and attack, it was just a big deal to lose his position. He has only been in office for three months, and he has already offended three eunuchs and one monk, all of whom are close ministers who are deeply favored by the emperor.

Zhu Houzhao held back his anger and forcibly endured and said: "Don't talk about the matter of the marquis." Wang Erlang was promoted to the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, given python clothes, awarded the right doctor, and his parents and wives were rewarded. As for the officers and men accompanying the army, the cabinet negotiated a charter for rewards. ”

"Yes!"

Prince Liang took the ministers to receive the order.

Compared with Yang Tinghe, Liang Chu, the first assistant, is much more well-behaved. Unless the emperor wants to drive the expedition in person, he is too lazy to stop other things, anyway, the emperor can toss it anyway.

Zhu Houzhao asked Shi Jue again: "The land of Kansai needs relief, how much grain can the household department allot?" ”

Shi Jue said: "Ten thousand taels of silver, thirty thousand stones of grain." ”

Zhu Houzhao frowned and said: "After this bit of money and grain is consumed along the way, how much can be left when it is transported to Kansai?" ”

Shi Jue was quite single: "Your Majesty, the household department is really difficult, and I can't get more money." ”

Zhu Houzhao discussed: "Thirty thousand taels of silver, how about one hundred thousand stones of grain?" ”

Shi Jue knelt down and kowtowed: "The minister is incompetent and difficult to raise." ”

Zhu Houzhao wanted to cut this guy very much, but the Hubu Shangshu hand-picked by himself had to be recognized even if he pinched his nose. He misses Wang Qiong so much when he was the secretary of the household department, as long as he needs money and food, Wang Qiong can deliver it in time by all means.

"It's decided, you have to figure it out!" Zhu Houzhao said in an accentuated tone.

"Minister, do your best." Shi Jue said perfunctorily, anyway, it was a delay, and it was impossible to get together the money and food until Wang Yuan returned to Kyoto.

Zhu Houzhao did not betray Wang Yuan, he took the matter down himself, he said: "Guishan King Zhu Dangshu, follow Wang Erlang to make miraculous achievements." The Western Regions were initially decided, and an important minister should also be left to guard it. I want to canonize King Guishan as the king of Zhenxi, the prince of Zhibi, and guard the land of Kansai for generations. The Anxi Prefecture was reinstated, and the seven guards of Kansai were under the control of the seven guards, and another Liuchengwei was placed under its jurisdiction......"

"Your Majesty, by all means!"

All the ministers present were opposed, including Jin Gui, Liu Chun and Wang Qiong, who had a good relationship with Wang Yuan.

"That's it, you guys retreat." Zhu Houzhao waved his hand.

Everyone looked at each other, and each prepared to go home to write a recital to oppose it, and also asked the speaker to write a recital to oppose it.

What the emperor decides, it's against a fart!
