"Your Majesty, the imperial court only signed an alliance with the Chahar Ministry last year and opened a mutual market, and this year it has made a big move, which is not good for the country......

It was Li Banghua, the newly appointed right-hand man of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, who was reinstated as an official last month.

Li Banghua, the word Mengyin, Jiangxi Jishui, Wanli thirty-two years of Jinshi, the first grant of Jing County Zhixian, Xing Take, to be awarded the imperial history.

Speaking of which, this Li Banghua is unlucky enough.

As early as the thirty-fifth year of Wanli, when he was the county magistrate assessment and evaluation, he was proposed to be one of the candidates for the imperial history of the Imperial Inspectorate, but at that time, it was the time when the Zhejiang Party and Donglin were fighting each other.

Because Li Banghua said a few good words to Zou Yuanbiao, he was characterized by the Zhejiang Party as the same party of Donglin and removed him from the list of imperial historians of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

It's just that Li Banghua has the same temperament as Xiong Tingbi, but he can't hold his mouth.

At that time, the Zhejiang Party and the Chu Party thought that he was Donglin, but a few days later, Li Banghua made a current statement again, criticizing Donglin for being a traitor with the party, and Donglin also regarded him as an enemy.

Basically, Li Banghua is the same as Xiong Tingbi, and belongs to "his own party".

In the court, if you see something wrong, you have to break your mouth, and the popularity is not very good, no one speaks for him, and he will be dismissed soon.

Later, something happened, and it was also a disaster caused by the party, anyway, Li Banghua not only did not make the imperial history in the end, but even the black yarn hat was not guaranteed, and he went home to farm.

Since then, Li Banghua has started such a life.

Farming, being recalled, being dismissed due to party disputes, going back to farming for a few years, and then being recalled to the official...

More than ten years of such a life passed, until the imperial examination case in the third year of the Apocalypse, and the imperial court dismissed a large number of officials of the Imperial Procuratorate, including Liu Zongzhou, the imperial historian of Zuo Yandu? Li Banghua was remembered again.

The order to reinstate Li Banghua or Zhu Youxiao? This time, I didn't let him do the imperial history, and directly skipped a grade to become the second-in-command of the Metropolitan Procuratorate? The right is the imperial history.

Actually, it's not a grade skip? Li Banghua's officialdom has been up and down for decades, although he has never been a big official? But he has reputation and ability, and it is still condescending to ask him to be a royal historian.

Zhu Youxiao plans to let him work in the Metropolitan Procuratorate for a while? Then they will be sent to other places.

Listen to Li Banghua's chatter? Although Zhu Youxiao was a little reluctant, not to mention it, his heart was still warm, because this product was really thinking about Daming.

Li Banghua's opposition? Is it because he thinks that the emperor's decree is wrong? As a courtier, I have to say it myself, that's all.

But it's not the Donglin Party, which opposes for the sake of opposition.

"Your Majesty, have you forgotten the disaster of Guangning where Wang Huazhen called the four-way division in the past!"

Li Banghua pulled his neck and admonished loudly:

"Since ancient times? The Central Plains Dynasty is rare to win outside the Sai, and the stability of the alliance with Chahar? For the people of the frontier, it is a real blessing! ”

"Your Majesty, doesn't you think you are Emperor Chengzu?"

Boy? This is really not good to hear, talking directly to himself, the emperor, in the court? Not to mention and other officials.

What if this were other officials? I'm afraid that there will be any ugly words.

Zhu Youxiao looked at him? asked: "Li Banghua, I ask you, when Emperor Chengzu personally conquered the outside world, did the court and the central government ever oppose it?" ”

"Ruo Zhen remembers correctly, at that time, some people compared Emperor Chengzu with Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and what happened later, Emperor Chengzu made five expeditions to Mongolia and won a complete victory!"

"Since the three guards of Saibei belong to the Ming Dynasty, I can't sit idly by!"

When Li Banghua heard this, he understood the emperor's implication in his heart, his eyes moved slightly, his lips opened, and he didn't continue.

Seeing him stand back, Zhu Youxiao looked a little surprised, and asked with a smile: "It seems that Li Qing agrees with my statement?" ”

"The minister does not dare to agree with His Majesty's so-called statement." Li Banghua said directly, with no expression on his face, and he was cold and abnormal.

Zhu Youxiao frowned and said, "Since you don't agree with my opinion, why don't you admonish me again?" ”

Li Banghua laughed, as if he had heard some idiotic question, and asked rhetorically: "Even if the minister admonishes ten more sentences and a hundred sentences, will Your Majesty listen?" ”

"Since Your Majesty has decided to use this to punish the Chahar Ministry, then the courtiers should think about the strategy, not the meaningless verbal arguments."

"The minister is willing to go to the border pass, inspect the sergeants, and then come back to offer a strategy for conquest."

Zhu Youxiao looked at Li Banghua, and wanted him to stay in the Beijing Division in a down-to-earth manner, but after thinking about it, he temporarily changed his mind and said:

"I will give you the rank of squire of the military department, and it is better to go down to the border pass to have a look."

......

In winter, there is a hazy darkness between the heavens and the earth.

The sun had just set, and it was still early before sunrise, Zhu Youxiao dispersed the court meeting, returned to Xinuan Pavilion and sat down, and the argument with Li Banghua during the day was especially in his ears.

Just thinking about it, Zhu Youxiao suddenly yawned.

Looking at the music piled up on the royal case, I suddenly felt a little bored in my heart, there are so many "homework" every day, and when the review is finished, I am afraid that it will be until the early hours of the morning.

After some ideological struggles, Zhu Youxiao still sighed, picked up a brush and picked up a book to read, criticize, who made us the emperor.

Zhu Youxiao's fingertips tapped the table slightly, and Wang Chaofu hurriedly approached.

He knew in his heart that this was because the emperor was tired and wanted to read the recital by himself, so he first picked up a copy of the recital of the military department and read it in a loud voice.

Question of the Ministry of War.

At the end of December, the temperature dropped markedly in various places, and all parts of the Jiubian Military Tun, Jifu and Liaodi entered Yandong, and the military affairs in various places slowed down, and the drill and training were basically suspended.

In November and December, the military department was divided into Datong, Xuanfu, Yulin, Jizhou, Ningxia... In order, the first batch of 324,865 copies of the first batch of mandarin duck battle jackets were issued to the important towns and military cantonments on the nine sides to protect the soldiers from the cold.

The second batch of 500,000 mandarin duck jackets is in full swing planning, and it is expected that all the distribution tasks will be completed by the end of January next year.

After listening to this, Zhu Youxiao nodded lightly and said:

"I see."

After that, Wang Chaofu hurriedly picked up the second copy, which was a Liaodong Tang newspaper, and the payment was inscribed by Xiong Tingbi of Liaodong Jingluo.

Xiong Tingbi said that in the harsh winter, the Liao River was frozen, the Sancha River was shallow and slow, and the rivers in all parts of Liaodong basically lost all their defensive functions, and asked the imperial court to allocate 300,000 taels to strengthen the city defense armament of the border fort.

Zhu Youxiao thought for a while and said:

"Yes, 400,000 taels will be allocated, and Xiong Tingbi can spend it freely."

After speaking, the little eunuch on the side hurriedly wrote it down word for word.

Wang Chaofu picked up the third copy, which was still Liaodong Tang Daily, but the name of the person at the settlement office was changed to Hong Chengchou, the governor of Liaodong.

Hong Chengchou's statement is basically the same as Xiong Tingbi's, after entering the harsh winter, the temperature in Liaodong is too serious, and the temperature is so low that it is the highest in the history, and even several subordinate officials of the governor's yamen have been frostbitten.

At present, Liaodong has just recovered the whole territory, and it is in full swing of restoration, and the imperial court is in urgent need of supplies and winter clothing.

Hong Chengchou asked the imperial court to allocate 100,000 taels for the arrangement of the people of Liaodong, and in addition, he also requested the distribution of 600,000 sets of cotton clothes, and the more wood and stones, the better.

Cotton clothes will be issued by the governor of Liaodong Yamen to the people of Liaodong for cold protection, wood and stone will also be uniformly allocated by the governor Yamen, rebuild houses, repair the city.

Zhu Youxiao sighed, a little bit of what should come will come.

Zhu Youxiao knew about this situation, fortunately, he prepared in advance and had a deposit, although he was not rich, but at least it was enough.

Historically, many people have died in this cold wave, and I just hope that I can save some people as much as possible.

Zhu Youxiao leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes and commanded:

"Allocate 600,000 taels, didn't Zhu Xieyuan say that he purchased a batch of wood in Shanxi, and the wood will be supported from Shanxi, and the stones..."

"Wang Chaofu, you go to Wei Zhongxian and ask him to think of a way."

"There are still 600,000 sets of cotton clothes..."Zhu Youxiao muttered, saying:

"200,000 sets of scarves and hats and needle palace bureaus will be uniformly deployed by the Shangyi supervisor, and the remaining 400,000 sets will be let Li Shi of the Suzhou Weaving Bureau think of a way."
