Chapter 51: Impeachment of Cao Jixiang

Zhu Qizhen couldn't think of anything for a while, and asked casually: "Is your martial arts the first among the guards?" ”

Shi Jing hurriedly shook his head and said, "How dare the minister be arrogant, among all the guards, the best martial artist should be Zhang Baihu." ”

Some people become guards because of their relationship, but they can't be absolute. Many people may be because of relationships, but their own martial arts are still passable.

After all, it is impossible for Zhang Fu to get some guards who need protection.

The so-called poor and rich martial arts, without a little family background, it is really impossible to have high martial arts. These noble children, fathers or grandparents, all followed Emperor Taizong to kill the world with one knife and one shot.

Just like Fang Zheng who guards Datong, Fang Zheng's own ability is good, and Fang Zheng's son heard that he is also a tiger general.

If there is a person, it doesn't matter at all, he is a guard by virtue of his martial arts. Then it must be Zhang Dachuan.

Zhang Dachuan has a record of one enemy and ten enemies, and he has a record of beheading the fourth level, and these noble children are all breathtaking.

With Zhang Dachuan's skills, it is enough to be called a hundred enemies, if he is equipped with well-equipped armor, and then guarded by elite soldiers, even if it is a battle of tens of thousands of people, he can also be a general who will kill and capture the flag.

Compared with the martial arts that Zhang Dachuan killed in the battle array, these generals are a little worse.

However, this may not be the case in the future.

After all, Zhang Dachuan is now in his early thirties, and it is the time period when a man has the most experience of physical strength and martial arts.

Zhu Qizhen knew that Zhang Dachuan had not yet come to hand over the shift, so he asked Shi Jing to guide the experts, holding a small bow, and shooting more than a dozen arrows. Just familiarize yourself with the bow and arrow, as for the quasi-head or something, needless to say.

After that, he went to the Mandarin Hall to attend classes.

However, today's Wang Zhi's lecture is still wonderful, but Zhu Qizhen's mind is not on this, and as he spoke, he turned to Huayi's discernment, and then to the Central Plains Dynasty and the battle between the nomads.

Seeing this, Wang Zhi said: "Your Majesty, please wait with peace of mind, soon, there will be a great victory on the front line." The defeat of Arutai by the tile spur has the potential to unify the grassland, so it can be worried, but the foundation of my Ming Taizu Taizong, with millions of soldiers, and nine sides of the town, should not be underestimated. ”

In Wang Zhi's opinion, Zhu Qizhen was clearly a little overly nervous.

Zhu Qizhen smiled bitterly in his heart, but said in his mouth: "Mr. Wang, I understand. ”

From the Taizu Dynasty to the present, although there have been small setbacks in the conquest of the Northern Yuan, on the whole, the situation has always been under the control of the Ming Dynasty.

Not only Da Ming itself, but even the tile spur itself, will not despise Da Ming.

But Zhu Qizhen knew that in history, he made a change in the civil fort.

Therefore, he attaches more importance to the tile spur than the people of the time.

In Wang Zhi's eyes, there are some people who are worried.

Wang Zhi saw that Zhu Qizhen was uneasy, so he gave Zhu Qizhen an early dismissal.

After Zhu Qizhen got out of class, he was restless and said to Wang Zhen: "Tell Kunning Palace that I will have lunch in Cining Palace today, so that the queen mother doesn't have to wait." ”

Wang Zhen hurriedly agreed to come down and sent a little eunuch to pass the word.

Zhu Qizhen walked straight to Cining Palace. He even pushed off the step.

The Datong War made Zhu Qizhen more vigilant, so now that he can walk, he will not sit down. It is to exercise the body, and when there is something to do in the world in the future, the physical strength can keep up.

Zhu Qizhen walked for half an hour, from walking to Cining Palace.

Although there are reasons for Zhu Qizhen's short calves, the most important reason is that the Forbidden City is a little too big.

As soon as Zhu Qizhen entered the Cining Palace, he saw the Empress Dowager holding a letter and looking at it. Seeing him coming, he gestured slightly and said, "Sit down." ”

Zhu Qizhen is often in front of the Empress Dowager, and he doesn't need much etiquette. Zhu Qizhen honestly sat down beside the Empress Dowager, and looked at the Empress Dowager's hand.

The Empress Dowager said: "If you want to see it, you can see it, it's a lawsuit against you." Then he handed it to Zhu Qizhen.

Zhu Qizhen opened it and took a look, but it was to impeach Cao Jixiang, rob the people's wealth, compete with the people for profit, and forcibly conscript civilian service, etc., but Zhu Qizhen is not just beginning, now that he has read more, he will also find the key point.

He quickly found the focus of the article, which was Mentougou.

All the questions about Cao Jixiang revolve around the coal mine in Mentougou.

"I must keep Cao auspicious." The first thought in Zhu Qizhen's heart. It was the first thing he wanted to do, and he couldn't afford to go wrong.

Zhu Qizhen said: "Niangniang listened to her grandson. ”

The Empress Dowager said: "I'm listening, you are now telling why you want to set up a coal supervisor in Mentougou." ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "In order to use the degree in the palace, the palace used firewood before, but now it uses coal, and the degree in the palace is greatly reduced." ”

The Empress Dowager sighed lightly and said, "That's all? ”

Zhu Qizhen knew that there were some things that could not be hidden from the Empress Dowager, and said: "The child thinks that the people of Beijing use coal, which is also a lot of money. ”

"Coal," said the Empress Dowager, "well, you say coal." If a courtier asks about you, you only need to say the first reason, and the latter reason is known, and you must not say it. ”

Only then did Zhu Qizhen breathe a sigh of relief and said, "Xie Niangniang." "Zhu Qizhen also tried what is called Chrysostom. Coal is such a thing, just because he casually said that it became coal. I'm afraid that in the official documents of the Ming Dynasty, it will be called coal.

"However, do you think what Cao Jixiang did is true or false?" The Empress Dowager asked.

Zhu Qizhen looked at it carefully, and it was difficult to judge for a while.

The Empress Dowager smiled: "Didn't your Dongchang and Jinyiwei tell you?" ”

Zhu Qizhen didn't want to know that Cao Jixiang was Wang Zhen's righteous son, Ma Shun was Wang Zhen's person, so naturally he wouldn't say anything, and Wang Zhen was in charge of the East Factory, so he naturally wouldn't say anything.

Even if Cao Jixiang really did these things, Zhu Qizhen would not have heard this.

The Empress Dowager said: "Emperor, do you know what it means to listen to it and make it clear, and to believe it to be dark? ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "My grandson knows. ”

The Empress Dowager said, "You don't know. The premise of listening is clear, there are different sounds coming to your ears, depending on what you do, what can you hear? Listen to Wang Zhen. ”

Zhu Qizhen immediately said: "Sun Er knows that he is wrong. ”

The Empress Dowager said: "Let me tell you, Xiao Caozi is quite attentive, but some things are inevitable, you don't want to think about it, Mentougou is only a few miles away from Beijing, and there is a big industry in Mentougou, can you be a villager in Mentougou?" Xiao Caozi doesn't need some means, this coal supervisor can't do it. ”

"Since it's done, don't let people call twice."

Zhu Qizhen suddenly understood, and said secretly; "It's that I think I'm bad, I always think that I have a long-term vision, I'm afraid I'm not the only one who has a long-term vision."

Zhu Qizhen can see that Beijing's firewood is not enough, and coal must be introduced, and others can't see it.

The facts tell everyone that wherever there is interest, people crowd people.

What Cao Jixiang did in Mentougou must have affected the interests of many people. These people make people impeached, in fact, it also depends on the opinion of the Empress Dowager.

After all, the Empress Dowager has always been strict with eunuchs.

Perhaps, if this matter is stabbed, the Empress Dowager will severely punish Cao Jixiang.

It's just that they didn't expect that there was an emperor behind this matter.

In the eyes of the Empress Dowager, the matter of coal supervision is insignificant. Needless to say, even if the emperor does something out of the ordinary, the empress dowager will allow it.

Of course, the Empress Dowager will not use other forces to help the emperor, nor will she allow the foreign court to interfere.

It is to let the emperor increase his memory, and let him know what this big tomorrow is like.

Maybe the coal supervisor has cut a lot of paths, but in the eyes of the Empress Dowager, it is just the emperor's after-school homework. It's not important to do right or wrong, it's important to do it.

Zhu Qizhen immediately said: "Sun Er is wrong. ”

The Empress Dowager asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "The mistake is to take it for granted, and make a hasty decision if you don't understand Mentougou." ”

The Empress Dowager nodded slightly and said: "That's right, the Ming Dynasty, the two capitals and thirteen provinces, I don't know how many things have to be dealt with by you, you can't understand them all." How do you decide? ”

Zhu Qizhen was speechless for a while, but found that what the Empress Dowager said was too right. This is probably the norm he will face in the future.
