Forbidden City, Qianqing Palace.

A palace lady brought a cup of fragrant tea, walked into the Xinuan Pavilion, bowed down and put it on the imperial case, uncovered the lid of the bowl, and then gently retreated, as if she had never been there.

"Emperor, moisten your throat!"

Hearing Wang Chaofu's words, Zhu Youxiao put down his hand, his eyes moved slightly, glanced at the tea bowl, picked it up and drank a few sips.

Putting down the tea bowl, Zhu Youxiao picked up the song and looked at it word by word.

Gong E's body was filled with a smell of fat powder, and there was still half of the peach cheeks on the side of her face, but Zhu Youxiao didn't feel it at all, as if he didn't smell it or see it, so he just continued to watch the music.

Wang Chaofu motioned for Gong E to go down and said softly:

"The emperor has been tired all day, and the night is late, so let's go in and rest."

Zhu Youxiao glanced at him when he heard this, put down the song and got up from the dragon chair, stretched his waist, and just when Wang Chaofu thought he was going back to sleep, he sat down again.

"You can sleep, I can't sleep..."Zhu Youxiao laughed at himself, picked up the Zhu pen and approved a few words, which can be regarded as complete.

"Send these notebooks to the military aircraft room, let the ministers of military aircraft read them and then bring them to the cabinet, and tell them all to take a look, by the way, what do you think of the law of imperial Liao that Wei Guangwei said last time."

After Zhu Youxiao finished speaking, he looked at Wang Chaofu on the side.

Just as a little eunuch walked in and moved the book out, and a little eunuch passed by him, and moved more books into the Xinuan Pavilion.

Wang Chaofu looked at the mountain of notebooks? Sigh in your heart? Panicked:

"The slave and maid are just taking care of His Majesty's food, clothing and daily life in the Qianqing Palace, about these things? What's the insight? If you really have an opinion, you won't enter the palace. ”

Zhu Youxiao laughed? Tap him with his finger a few times.

"You, I'm not mistaken, Wei Zhongxian recommended me, right? Is it really clever? It's very comfortable for me to use. ”

"But even that Wei Zhongxian? Sometimes mistakes can be made! ”

"For example, Gao Di of Shanhaiguan and Wang Hai, the governor of Caoyun, were all recommended by him."

"Gaodi's retreat made me lose a good general? Wang Hai and the Fan family are in the same stream? Deliver grain and grass to the Jiannu outside the gate, do you know that they are the mortal enemies of the Ming Dynasty! ”

When Zhu Youxiao said this, he laughed a few times and asked, "Since you don't understand Liao affairs?" Then I can't just let you go, what do you think of Wei Zhongxian? ”

Finished? Zhu Youxiao picked up the teacup and continued to drink.

When he asked this, Zhu Youxiao's face was not the slightest abnormal? But this question is very unusual, let's talk about Wei Zhongxian.

What is the emperor asking this for? Could it be that you don't trust the factory anymore?

Wang Chaofu didn't dare to answer casually? Thinking about it for a while? was about to speak, but Zhu Youxiao threw away the notebook suddenly, got up and shouted:

"Someone, bring the water for washing your feet!"

After a while, two palace ladies came.

One person carried a square shelf carved from rosewood, and the other followed in, placing a gold-plated copper basin filled with hot water at Zhu Youxiao's feet.

Gong E put her hand into the copper basin and tried it, and found that the temperature was right, so she knelt in front of her with another Gong E and took off her boots for Zhu Youxiao.

took off her boots, and Gong E took off her white cloth socks for Zhu Youxiao one by one.

Zhu Youxiao is an old sweaty foot, and he went out for a run again today, plus the boots of this era really cover his feet, and the moment he takes off his socks, even he smells the smell of his feet.

But these two Gong E's didn't seem to be dirty, and they didn't even see the slightest abnormality on their faces, and they put Zhu Youxiao's stinky feet into a copper basin and washed them one by one.

Zhu Youxiao leaned comfortably on the couch, feeling the relaxation on his feet.

The two palace ladies lowered their heads and washed their feet, although the movements of their white and tender slender hands were light, they were carefully washed, and even a little black mud hidden between their toes was washed clean.

After the first cleaning, the palace ladies hurriedly poured out the dirty water, brought clear hot water to soak Zhu Youxiao's feet, and their slender hands were constantly moving.

Zhu Youxiao was almost asleep, but he suddenly opened his eyes, looked at Gong E, who was hanging his head and washing his feet, and then looked at Wang Chaofu, breathed a sigh of relief, and muttered to himself:

"At this time, the messenger should also go to Taiyuan."

......

At the same time, Taiyuan Mansion, Shanxi.

Zhu Xieyuan first made meritorious contributions to the pacification of Tusi in the southwest, and then served as a superintendent to lead the army out of the pass to repel the barbarians, and now his prestige is extremely high.

In order to deal with the abolition of armaments in Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces, Zhu Youxiao specially established the post of governor of Shanxi a few months ago, and Zhu Xieyuan took up the post.

The governor of Shanxi, like the governor, is a temporary addition, not a permanent official position.

The difference between the two is that as soon as the supervisor arrives in a certain place, he can take full control of the military and political power of a certain place, and even the governor and other official positions have the right to dismiss and then play.

To put it bluntly, the superintendent is equivalent to the "emperor" who goes down, under one person, above ten thousand people, and in one place, he is directly the military and political chief who holds the real power.

As for the governor, there is also a distinction.

For example, Zhu Xieyuan, who is now the governor of Shanxi, belongs to the governors of the two provinces, and all the military and political power in Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces is in his hands.

The governor's authority is not as important as that of the superintendent, and although the governor and the commander-in-chief are obedient and modest, they do not have the right to dismiss officials, but only have the right to dismiss some local petty officials.

Despite this, the authority of the governor of one or two provinces, or even many provinces, is much greater than that of ordinary feudal officials.

This kind of position came into being at the right time for the current situation, and the armaments in Shanxi and Shaanxi have been in disuse for a long time, and the officialdom situation is complicated, and the local powerful forces are intertwined.

For Zhu Youxiao, the best way is to directly appoint a governor, whose authority is above all forces, and use the "God's perspective" to manage it for himself.

After much consideration, Zhu Xieyuan set up the governor's palace in Taiyuan.

At this time, it was already the hour, except for the occasional sound of the soldiers and officials who patrolled the night, the entire Taiyuan city was pitch black, and the whole town seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep.

The Governor's Mansion was still brightly lit, and Zhu Xieyuan had just sent off the Qincha who had delivered the decree late at night, turned around to face the base map of Shanxi and Shaanxi, and sighed heavily.

Now, he finally knew what the emperor was doing by himself.

The two provinces of Shanxi and Shaanxi are not only depleted in armaments, but also cannot be summarized in one sentence at the local level, with various forces intertwined ...... feudal kings, powerful people, civil officials, military generals, and guards, horse bandits, and bandits.

Many people can see that the establishment of the governor of Shanxi by the imperial court this time is actually unbearable and wants to control the situation in Shanxi.

Not surprisingly, since Zhu Xieyuan went to Taiyuan to establish the governor's palace, various situations soon followed.

There are many government affairs, military affairs are chaotic, and many of those big-headed soldiers still do not obey discipline, and the slightest disobedience may provoke a mutiny.

After a preliminary investigation, Zhu Xieyuan soon found that almost seventy percent of the acres of land in Shanxi Province were occupied by the children of these royal families.

In order to reform the armament of the guard, it is necessary to get back the original land of the guard, but to get back these acres, it is bound to arouse the dissatisfaction of the children of the royal family.

Zhu Xieyuan was already very difficult, in addition to what he was supposed to do, Zhu Youxiao threw him a hot potato this time - Jin Shang.

Zhu Xieyuan sighed that almost everything he was going to accomplish in Shanxi was extremely difficult.

Judging from the emperor's repeated expressions, what he needs is a complete reshuffle of the two provinces from top to bottom, rather than a small fight.
