The cold gold brick floor of the Qianqing Palace made Liu Ximing's mind quickly calm down, and he thought about the situation in the Central Plains carefully, and then he made up his mind and kowtowed and got up.

"Your Majesty, please listen to the minister's words", Liu Ximing tried to straighten his waist and knelt straight and played: "The minister is not greedy for life and afraid of death, nor is he afraid of his reputation, but he really has a last resort at this time. ”

On the throne, Chongzhen's face was already a little cold, and he said lightly: "What kind of suffering, can your suffering be greater than mine?" ”

Liu Ximing's heart was a little colder, he shook his head and put some bad thoughts behind him, and kowtowed again:

"Your Majesty, there are two reasons why the minister resigned, one is that Inspector Yang is famous all over the world, and he is father and son successively, so no one dares to question the command of the Central Plains soldiers and horses, but the minister is only twenty or two years old, Your Majesty let the minister lead the Central Plains soldiers and horses, but I am afraid that the world will be in an uproar."

"In addition, among the many governors and governors in the Central Plains, there are all those who are higher in qualifications and intelligence than the ministers, such as Ding Qirui, Yang Wenyue, Wang Qiaonian, Sun Chuanting and other important members, who either lead troops all the year round, or have supervised the localities all the time, and by the way, it is better than the ministers."

The other two are in the court. Now that the atmosphere in the DPRK and China is very bad, Kedaotai admonishes the ministers, regardless of the difficulty of the place, regardless of the life and death of the civil and military, and focuses on seeking full blame. ”

"Take this time as an example, although Inspector Yang has made mistakes, but he has worked hard to suppress the Liukou, not to mention the merits, but also the hard work, but the ministers of the court and the central government are still attacking with all their might."

"If it weren't for His Majesty's straightforward judgment and the conclusion of Inspector Yang's coffin, I am afraid that he will still suffer injustice. In such a situation, although the local civil and military have long materials, where can they be distributed? In this case, the minister will act according to the facts, and ask His Majesty to make a clear judgment. ”

Liu Ximing talked eloquently, and the more he talked about it, the more sad and angry he felt, these pig teammates in the Ming Dynasty were too tricky.

Let these people do things will not do, but they are full of interest when they talk about it on the side, with these people in the group, until the last moment, Liu Ximing will definitely not go out.

Of course, there are still many potential reasons that he did not say, and now that the imperial court's finances are almost exhausted, it is really impossible to command the chief military officers such as Zuo Liangyu and He Renlong, without some means.

Now Zuo Liangyu has become a famous war-avoiding general, and He Renlong has also violated the command of the governor many times and fled, but the court is not still helpless.

As soon as Liu Ximing's analysis came out, Chongzhen was also a little speechless.

He almost forgot that Liu Ximing's age was a few years younger than himself, although he had always done a good job, but his qualifications were indeed easy to criticize.

At this time, Daming had not yet reached the most desperate time, and Chongzhen could not break through the cage he had put on himself.

After a long time, he sighed and said: "The Qing family's eloquence is unsurpassed, since you have made up your mind, then I will no longer force you, but your governor of the Central Plains merit, the court will inevitably reward you, since you are unwilling to lead the troops, then I can only send you to the household department, you can't push this anymore, right?" ”

Liu Ximing's scalp is a little numb, and this fucking household is also a sinkhole.

At the beginning, he didn't want to go to the household department, but now it seems that he may have to go if he doesn't go.

"I wonder what kind of errand Your Majesty wants your majesty to do in the household department?" , Liu Ximing quickly turned around in his mind a few times, and asked with a hard bow.

A smile appeared on Chongzhen's numb face, "The Qing family has been able to find a way to conjure up money on all previous errands, which shows the ability to operate. ”

, there are still sequelae from the previous incident, and Liu Ximing regretted a little in his heart why he thought of a way to get so much silver.

However, there are pros and cons to everything, if it weren't for this, he would not have jumped to a high position at a young age.

Thinking of this, Liu Ximing hurriedly paused:

"Thank you, Your Majesty, but the minister has a suggestion, and I ask Your Majesty to consider it."

"Aiqing, please speak", seeing that Liu Ximing was not postponed, Chongzhen's mouth resumed the title of Aiqing again.

Liu Ximing played unconsciously: "The minister is young and knowledgeable, and he is afraid that the appointment of the chief situ will delay the political affairs of the imperial court, so if he still asks Li Shangshu to deal with the daily affairs of the household department, the minister will devote himself to developing financial resources, so that the two can not be mistaken." ”

"Okay, that's a good idea, I've got it."

Chongzhen was overjoyed when he heard this, he was also a little worried that Liu Ximing was young and had never been in the household department, but now this method is good.

finally talked about a big thing, Chongzhen only felt happy in his heart.

He stood up from the throne and stretched out without any manners, and immediately looked at Liu Ximing again:

"Jianyu is now making trouble in Liaodong, and has besieged my Jinzhou, Ningyuan and other places, Hong Chengchou has written many times to ask for reinforcements, what do you think about this?"

It's coming, it's coming, Liu Ximing sighed in his heart.

Internal and external troubles, why did you get to such a time.

Therefore, Emperor Judy of Yongle is also a pit goods, why did he set the capital so close to the border, you are a fierce man, but your children and grandchildren are all cowards.

As a result, it not only caused a difficult situation in the transportation of grain from the south to the north for 300 years, but also caused the entire country to be under the threat of the enemy at all times.

Liu Ximing sighed a few words in his heart, and then answered in a hesitant tone, "Your Majesty, the Central Plains is still thousands of miles away, but Liaodong is close at hand." ”

He didn't say whether he should transfer troops or not, nor did he say whether he wanted to transfer troops from the Central Plains to Liaodong, anyway, he is not a supervisor now, and this black pot loves whoever carries it.

Chongzhen was also silent after listening, and stood for a while before slowly waving his hand to signal the end of today's recital.

When I walked out of the Qianqing Palace, the starlight in the sky was already hanging in the sky.

Looking up at the unusually bright night sky of this era, Liu Ximing returned home with a sense of helplessness in his heart again.

Compared with the Forbidden City, the new Amber Mansion is brightly lit at this time.

As soon as Liu Ximing entered the mansion, he found that the guards and the maids in the mansion were all beaming, and he immediately followed a joy in his heart, is it really pregnant?

At this time, Li Xiangjun and Yu Qiaoman, who heard that Liu Ximing had returned home, walked out of the backyard hand in hand to greet them, and when they saw the smiles on their faces, Liu Ximing immediately shouted wildly in his heart, laughed and stepped forward to embrace the United States.

I didn't talk about my heart all night.

On July 15, Liu Ximing, who had been repaired for two days, reappeared in the courtiers' ranks.

At this time, Liu Ximing is different from the past, the six provinces of the Central Plains have successfully prevented the epidemic, and the Central Plains newspaper has blown his exploits to the world.

In addition, he didn't have too many holidays with Donglin and other parties, Liu Ximing himself didn't know, but in fact, he was already a big man.

As soon as he saw him, middle-level officials from the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Household and other yamen immediately surrounded him to greet him, and this attitude was the same as seeing his own father.

Of course, it is not without jealousy, Chengguo Duke Zhu Chunchen and a group of nobles are looking at him with hatred at this time.

"Xuan, hundreds of officials enter the palace!"

Accompanied by the loud shouts of the Xuanli eunuchs, hundreds of officials dressed in various official robes in front of the Imperial Palace rushed into the Imperial Palace.

After Chongzhen and the ministers finished the salute, Wang Chengen directly read the holy decree on the royal steps.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor summoned and said, Zierjiashi, high merit and hard ......work, special into the Central Plains Governor, the left squire of the military department and the right deputy of the Imperial Inspectorate Liu Ximing as the head of the household book, into the Hanlin Academy bachelor, promoted to the second grade senior doctor, given a python robe and jade belt."

"Minister Liu Xi ordered to thank the lord Longen!"

As soon as Wang Chengen's words fell, Liu Ximing immediately walked out of the column to thank him.

"Ding Qirui was appointed as the governor of the Central Plains, commanding the soldiers and horses of the Central Plains to suppress thieves, Yang Wenyue was the governor of Baoding, Wang Qiaonian was the governor of Huguang, and Sun Chuanting was the governor of Shaanxi......"

Regarding Liu Ximing's promotion, not too many courtiers spoke this time, and at this time, when Chongzhen discussed with the cabinet a few days ago, it had already spread all over the government and the opposition, and everyone was somewhat mentally prepared.

In addition, the epidemic prevention in the Central Plains was successfully completed, and everyone knew that this dignitary was about to be promoted again, but everyone didn't expect it to be the household department.

Many good deeds all set their eyes on the current head of the household department, Li Zhiwen, to see how the imperial court arranged.

How do you know that Chongzhen squeezed out a smile directly on the throne and said: "Previously, Liu Qing himself proposed that his qualifications were still young and his experience was still insufficient, so I agreed to let Li Shangshu continue to stay, and Liu Qing was mainly responsible for the matter of increasing the salary. ”

"Wow"

At this moment, the ministers were all a little excited.
