Chapter 46: Forbearance I

On the way back to Qianqing Palace from Jinluan Palace, Zhu Cihong had a gloomy face all the way.

"The emperor is angry, the popularity of the Donglin Party has reached the emperor, and a group of hypocritical sour Confucians dare to question the emperor repeatedly, it's really damned." Eunuch Zhao Dequan looked at Zhu Cihong's face and said.

"I'm going to have to clean them up sooner or later." Zhu Cihong said.

He can only put the affairs of the court first, let Gao Hongtu and Ma Shiying restrain each other, and when the new army is trained, he has a strong army that only obeys his orders in hand, and he is rectifying the court with a thunderbolt momentum.

"The emperor is wise, that Donglin Party just owes it to clean up, if Dongchang is still there, without Your Majesty's action, the slaves and maids can help Your Majesty clean them up." Zhao Dequan said pointedly, and secretly paid attention to Zhu Cihong's face.

Zhu Cihong stopped abruptly and stared at Zhao Dequan with a cold expression: "Do you want me to reorganize the East Factory?" Want to be the supervisor of the East Factory? Hehe, you dead minion, I want to know, do you want to be Liu Jin or Wei Zhongxian? ”

Zhao Dequan's hairs stood on end, and he knelt on the ground with a plop: "Your Majesty atons for your sins, the slave and maid don't have this mind, the slave and maid's loyalty to the emperor can be seen by the sun and the moon, and heaven and earth are the proof, if you dare to disobey the emperor, you would rather suffer from a thousand knives, and after death you will be hit into the eighteenth layer of hell, I hope the emperor will see it!" ”

Zhao Dequan knelt on the ground tremblingly, not daring to think about it anymore, the emperor compared him to Liu Jin or Wei Zhongxian, these two masters are both masters who have been cut by a thousand knives, doesn't it indicate that if he dares to be like those two, the fate of those two is his end.

"You don't dare, get up!" Zhu Cihong said.

Zhao Dequan stood up tremblingly.

"Do your own duty, if you are loyal, I can't consider the reorganization of the East Factory!" Zhu Cihong said profoundly.

Not only to reorganize the East Factory, but even Jinyiwei wants to reorganize when the time comes, don't look at these two institutions are notorious for generations, but they are one of the most backbone forces to maintain the imperial power of the Ming Dynasty, if it is used well, it will also be a help for him to govern the Ming Dynasty in the future.

Zhao Dequan was overjoyed, and hurriedly followed.

"Immediately go and prepare the four treasures of the study for me!" As soon as he stepped into the gate of the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Cihong immediately commanded Zhao Dequan.

"Slave and maid, go now."

After a while, Zhao Dequan prepared the four treasures of the study room and hurriedly brought them over.

Grinding ink and writing, Zhu Cihong recalled all the matters concerning the training of the people's army in his mind, and drew up an outline and wrote it down, from sitting, to standing, to walking, to running, all kinds of training items, bit by bit.

Recalling the first three months when he had just joined the people's army, the training was like torture in purgatory, Zhu Cihong's heart was boiling, and he was extremely looking forward to how earth-shattering his new army would be if it was trained like this.

It took Zhu Cihong for most of the day to write down the outline of each training project and all the matters to be paid attention to, but Zhu Cihong was a little embarrassed about the next things, because some of the auxiliary equipment needed for some training projects, he could also write it down with his body's memory and feel, but he couldn't draw, after all, Zhu Cihong had never learned it before.

"Zhao Dequan, go find a few painters for me immediately." Zhu Cihong patted his head, how could he forget that he was the emperor, and he could order many people to do it for him if he didn't know what he would.

There were already a few skilled painters in the palace, and soon Zhao Dequan brought them over.

With the help of these painters, Zhu Cihong dictated on the side, and the painter was able to draw everything quickly, and it was not much different from what he remembered.

It was almost evening after Zhu Cihong finished these times, and when the meal was approaching, Zhu Cihong was trying to let people pass the meal.

"Your Majesty, the head of the household, Jiang said, the majority of people want to see Your Majesty." Zhao Dequan came over to report.

"Xuan." Zhu Cihong frowned, and couldn't understand what Jiang Yueguang was doing when he came to him at this time.

"Weichen Jiang said that Guang saw the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

"Excuse me!"

"Weichen Xie Emperor." Jiang Yueguang secretly glanced at Zhu Cihong's face, and was a little puzzled, looking at the emperor's expression, he shouldn't have taken a nap at noon, and he didn't know if the emperor was in a better mood at this time.

The reason why Jiang Yueguang came to Zhu Cihong at this time to discuss the matter of Zuo Liangyu's army's salary and silver was that he felt that those things in the early dynasty had affected the emperor's mood, if he followed the emperor in the early dynasty, the emperor was in a bad mood, and it was very likely that he would hit a wall, so he estimated that he would not come until this time, thinking that after most of the day, the emperor's mood should have calmed down a lot.

"Jiang Aiqing, is there anything you have to do with me at this time?"

"Back to the emperor." Jiang Yueguang came back to his senses, and after arching his hand at Zhu Cihong, he took out a piece of music from his cuffs, handed it forward, it was the one that Zuo Liangyu asked for military salary, and said, "Your Majesty, please take a look at it first." ”

The eunuch Zhao Dequan immediately walked over and took the music and sent it to Zhu Cihong.

Zhu Cihong took a look, and at a glance saw that it was Zuo Liangyu who had only commented on it yesterday and asked for military salaries, then frowned and closed it, shook his hand, and threw it at Jiang Yueguang's feet with dissatisfaction.

"What, doesn't Jiang Aiqing have an opinion on my annotation?"

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that you can't reply to Zuo Liangyu like this, you should respond to his request, and pay the military salary this morning, after all, it is my Ming army, and you can't fight hungry." Jiang Yueguang said.

"Now that the Shandong War has resumed again, the thief armies in other places are also ready to move, not only Zuo Liangyu's army, but also the Shandong army, the Luzhou army and other armies should also be allocated this morning, and the emperor is also asked for approval." Jiang Yueguang schemingly put the salaries of other armies and Zuo Liangyu's army together, so that Zhu Cihong would have no reason not to approve.

Although Jiang Yueguang was the head of the household department, in charge of the treasury, and allocated military expenditures, he could not transfer them privately without Zhu Cihong's holy decree.

"Hehe, not to mention the battle of Huai'an, even when his father was alive, he Zuo Liangyu often did not listen to the dispatch of the imperial court, such an army can also be called the Ming army? Even if you don't say that I will issue an order to pay military salaries, but Zuo Liangyu's army will be exempted, a Ming moth, maybe when he will fight the court in turn like Liu Liangzuo, I am not so stupid. Zhu Cihong sneered. Zuo Liangyu is ambitious, he will be destroyed sooner or later, in this case, why should he pay his army to expand his army.

Zhu Cihong knew very well that even if he allocated military salaries, Zuo Liangyu would not pay the military salaries to the soldiers under him, but would continue to expand the army.

Thinking of this, Zhu Cihong felt a little heartache, Zuo Liangyu supported the army in Wuchang and respected himself, as if he was the emperor of Hubei, according to the number of his army, the military salary given by the imperial court in the past two years could not be able for him to raise so many troops, and at this moment the entire Hubei must have been ruined by him.
