After Emperor Tianshun received Liu Juntao's recital, he hesitated for several days, and his heart fell into a tangle.

The reason why Emperor Tianshun wanted to transfer Liu Juntao into the court this time was, on the one hand, that after eradicating Shi Heng and Cao Jixiang, Liu Juntao must be promoted and rewarded, so that he can convince the public; On the other hand, Emperor Tianshun wanted to use this to limit Liu Juntao's power!

The first strong army of the Ming Dynasty, the Tiance Army, was on the left hand, guarding a province in Shandong; Massive industries are in the right hand, and the sea of gold and silver is rolling in!

With such a terrifying force, no matter how loyal Liu Juntao is to the court and Emperor Tianshun, he will not be able to make Emperor Tianshun feel at ease after all, after all, Liu Juntao's loyalty does not mean that all of Liu Juntao's subordinates are loyal to the Ming Dynasty and to himself!

Otherwise, how did the yellow robe come about?

But after thinking about it, once Liu Juntao enters the court, with his past great military exploits, as well as the Shandong Town and Tiance Army echoing each other locally, maybe one day Liu Juntao will become the next Shi Heng.

Such a situation is obviously not acceptable to Emperor Tianshun, at this time Emperor Tianshun fell into a dilemma, and he couldn't make up his mind for a while, so he let Liu Juntao's soldiers stay outside Desheng Gate.

After thinking about it for several days, Emperor Tianshun gritted his teeth, and finally made up his mind and thought of a way to get the best of both worlds.

The next morning, Emperor Tianshun issued a holy decree in front of the Manchu civil and military forces: Liu Juntao, the chief military officer of Shandong Town, was promoted to the governor of Shanxi, and was in charge of the military affairs of a province in Shanxi!

As soon as this holy decree was issued, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were in an uproar.

In fact, since Liu Juntao was appointed by the imperial court as the chief military officer of Shandong Town, as long as you are discerning, you know that the imperial court has not appointed the governor of Shandong, and Liu Juntao, the chief military officer of Shandong Town, is actually equivalent to the governor of Shandong and the highest military attache of Shandong Province.

But now, with Emperor Tianshun's holy decree, Liu Juntao has been transferred out of Shandong, which has been in business for several years, and it seems that he has been promoted, but Emperor Tianshun is actually weakening Liu Juntao's power!

At this time, the ministers above the hall exchanged their heads and ears, and many people thought that after Liu Juntao received this holy decree, he must be going to make a fuss, and for a while the court hall was full of buzzing sounds, but Emperor Tianshun turned a blind eye and still sat firmly on the dragon chair.

Immediately afterwards, Emperor Tianshun promulgated the second holy decree: to crown Liu Juntao as Ning Beibo!

At this time, all the ministers were thinking in their hearts: Who is Liu Juntao? Your Majesty, if you beat a stick and give a date, can you stop Liu Juntao!

For this matter, everyone's hearts are not clear, and even some timid ministers are wondering whether they should go back to their hometowns as soon as possible, after all, at this time, the 12,000 Tiance soldiers led by Liu Juntao are stationed outside Desheng Gate.

Even if there are more than 100,000 troops stationed around the capital, everyone doesn't think that these more than 100,000 troops alone can withstand 12,000 Tiance soldiers!

The early dynasty of this day ended quickly, and with the two holy decrees of Emperor Tianshun, the ministers were not in the mood to play words, and it can be seen that the shock of the early dynasty to the Manchu Dynasty was great.

After Emperor Tianshun returned to the harem, he lost his composure in the court, and immediately sent people out of the palace, and secretly mobilized the Jinyi guards to keep an eye on the Tiance army camp outside the Desheng Gate.

This time, after making these two holy decrees, Emperor Tianshun also made a big determination to make a bet, and at the same time, he was also looking at how much Liu Juntao was loyal to himself and the court.

Transferring Liu Juntao from Shandong to Shanxi can be said to kill two birds with one stone, but the only difficulty is whether Liu Juntao is willing to obey orders, and Emperor Tianshun is not very sure about this.

After calming down and thinking about it carefully, Emperor Tianshun was also a little worried at this time, did he go too far?

At the same time, a eunuch, escorted by a team of brocade guards, arrived at the Tiance army camp outside the Desheng Gate.

When the eunuch read out the two holy decrees of Liu Juntao's transfer to Shanxi as the governor of Shanxi and the reward of Liu Juntao as Ning Beibo, he deliberately looked at Liu Juntao, who knelt down, and the three guerrilla generals behind him.

Seeing that a few people didn't react much, the eunuch breathed a sigh of relief, and then continued: "Your Majesty's dictation: Governor Liu has led the army north for a long time, let's lead the army back to Shandong tomorrow, sort out the soldiers of the army as soon as possible, and go to Shanxi as soon as possible to take office!" ”

At this time, the guerrilla general Bai Yuxing, the guerrilla general Tao Jixin, and the guerrilla general Zhou Quan were all angry, and their own headquarters had gone through several adventures for the imperial court, and now His Majesty still wants to treat his own headquarters like this, can't others see such a means?

If it weren't for the eunuch who announced the decree at this time, it is estimated that the three of them would have jumped up and made a loud noise.

However, Liu Juntao was unusually calm, knowing in his heart that his power had hit the ceiling, and if he wanted to develop further, Liu Juntao had only two choices, one was to obey the transfer of Emperor Tianshun and rush to Shanxi as soon as possible to take up the post of governor, and the other was to directly raise troops to resist!

Liu Juntao understood that Emperor Tianshun would not allow his unrestricted development, and these two holy decrees were already very well handled.

For such a situation, Liu Juntao has also considered it before, if he wants to break such shackles, he can only enter the court and obtain the power under one person and above ten thousand people, and only in this way can he realize his grand plan of "transforming the Ming Dynasty".

But at this time, it is obviously not the time to enter the court, Liu Juntao does not have enough contacts and power in the court, and even if the local power is limited to Shandong.

Therefore, after comprehensive consideration, Liu Juntao took these two holy decrees very calmly, and decided to obey the transfer of Emperor Tianshun and go to Shanxi as soon as possible to take up the post of governor of Shanxi.

Liu Juntao is ready to rebuild the power he has developed in Shandong in Shanxi.

It's just that this time, Liu Juntao has a very high starting point and enough capital, and this time he will definitely be able to get twice the result with half the effort!

"Dare to ask my father-in-law, how will the soldiers of the Tiance Army in the future? I wonder if Your Majesty has made it explicit? ”

Liu Juntao paused, and then continued to ask: "There is also a candidate for the new chief military officer of Shandong Town, does Your Majesty have a will?" ”

The eunuch smiled and said, "Your Majesty didn't explain, but just let Governor Liu deal with it after he goes back, as long as he leaves for his post as soon as possible!" ”

Hearing this, Liu Juntao understood what Emperor Tianshun meant: Your Majesty is a little embarrassed, so he left these live words!

Seeing off the eunuchs who came to announce the decree, the guerrilla general Bai Yuxing, the guerrilla general Tao Jixin, and the guerrilla general Zhou Quan surrounded Liu Juntao with great anger and shouted.

"The head town! How could the court do this? This is too chilling for the soldiers! ”

"We don't recognize anyone but the head town! Big deal, the brothers are the opposite! ”

"That's right! We are all heroes, how can the imperial court do this! ”

Liu Juntao's face sank and said, "Shut up for me!" Don't you even want your head? ”

The three of them bowed their heads and admitted their mistakes, but their faces were still angry.

"Your Majesty's intention this time is obviously to restrict the town. But it's not all bad for us. ”

The three of them looked at each other and were about to speak again, but Liu Juntao waved his hand and continued: "Didn't you see that Your Majesty did not appoint the new chief military officer of Shandong Town?" I didn't mention the disposal plan of our Tiance Army, these will naturally have to be arranged by this town, and this town believes that the imperial court will definitely recognize all of them! ”

The guerrilla general Bai Yuxing, the guerrilla general Tao Jixin, and the guerrilla general Zhou Quan are not fools.

This means that Liu Juntao can take this opportunity to develop his forces to Shanxi!

Liu Juntao said with a smile: "As long as this town has a foothold in Shanxi, plus Datong Town, which is close to Shanxi and Shandong, and has a good relationship with us, the three major forces can be connected, and then we will be able to defend the frontier for Daming Town, or enter the DPRK to benefit the world, we will have a lot to do!" ”

The guerrilla general Bai Yuxing, the guerrilla general Tao Jixin, and the guerrilla general Zhou Quan suddenly boiled with blood when they heard this, and they all bowed to the ground: "The last general is willing to gallop the world with the governor!" ”

Liu Juntao helped the three of them up one by one, and then said: "Pass the order, early tomorrow morning, the whole army will set off and return to Jinan City!" ”

"Order!"
