Chapter 95
Zhu Yidao has been informed that there is no need for any more disaster relief, and he can return to his station with the Jingshi Right Institute, and the reason is very simple: the cabinet has found a way to relieve the financial pressure and fill the Ming treasury. Lao Zhu didn't know what this method was, and not many people knew the facts, because at that meeting, everyone was only discussing the change from rice to mulberry without the final consent of the emperor, and no one dared to take this responsibility, not because the cabinet couldn't pass it.
So he returned to the garrison with 5,000 troops with anger and displeasure, and asked the military department for military salaries before leaving, after all, the supply of grain and grass in Beijing has always been provided by the other four guards these days, but the military department refused to provide it on the grounds that there was no silver, and asked Lao Zhu to find a way by himself, Zhu Yidao was furious, and the military department still slapped the table, and the military department was still very honest and said, you are a Jinyi guard, it stands to reason that you should ask the emperor to ask for military salary, how could you ask our military department? !
I'm a good Jinyiwei, but I'm also an official of the Ming Dynasty? Could it be that the soldiers need food and salary to fight outside, as long as it is a brocade guard, you dare not give it?
I'm sorry, it seems that Jinyiwei has never fought outside, but he often raids his home and still needs military salaries? The military department still said.
Zhu Yidao was stunned. So he was extremely unwilling to withdraw to the station, and on the way, he encountered wolves in disguise who were driving dozens of carriages. The general banner told him that these salaries were sponsored by the emperor's private family, and there were also 50,000 taels of silver, which was not much, in order to thank the brothers of the Jingshi Right Institute for their hard work these days. What you have done these days is in the eyes of the emperor, very good, very good, worthy of the elite of Jinyiwei. As a reward, Wanli also gave Zhang an edict: Zhu Yidao can mobilize no more than one squad of troops to do his own things without his approval, except for rebellion.
Lao Zhu couldn't cry or laugh, a team, what is the use of me mobilizing a team? What's the use? He didn't pay attention at all, and threw his hand at his horse. The wolf pack shook his head with a smile, and was very satisfied with Zhu Yidao's actions Wanli specially explained, if Zhu Yidao thanked him with joy, it would prove that he still had ambition in his heart; On the contrary, it shows that Zhu Yidao does not care about military power at all. Such generals are worthy of trust, and such courtiers are worth cultivating!
It's a pity that Zhu Yidao didn't know this, he didn't know that his unintentional actions resolved the first crisis of human life for himself!
As long as he is the emperor, he is suspicious, no matter how loyal he is on weekdays, once a little sign is shown that this loyal courtier is not as obedient as he seems in his heart, then he will immediately attract the disaster of killing Qi Jiguang, in fact, Qi Jiguang is not wrong, but his greatest merit is his biggest mistake: too good at fighting. I have a long history, there will not be too many big wars, a general is so good at fighting, what does he want to do? Moreover, Qi Jiguang asked more than once to pull his troops to the southeast coast, or to the Mongolian border, which made the civilian system and the emperor nervous every time: does he want to fight or rebel?!
It's just that Da Ming can't do without Qi Jiguang anymore, and there is no suitable person to replace him. Yu Dayou, who was at the same time as him, was also quite good at fighting, but unfortunately, this person was also quite unofficial and offended all his civilian colleagues who could offend, so he would not have let him lead the troops when he visited XOM. So Qi Jiguang's final outcome can only be to stay away from the military power, and he can't let him leave the court and the army too far, otherwise it will be difficult to call him if he is to be used for anything, so being demoted is already the best result.
Back at the station, the little kid Zhu Changxun also jumped off the horse and ran happily to the training ground. He has become accustomed to this regular life, training seriously during the day, and listening to Lao Zhu's stories at night, and the few pitiful stories in Zhu Yidao's stomach have been told to him. During the Spring Festival of the seventeenth year of Wanli, when Zhu Changxun returned to the palace and appeared publicly, what surprised Concubine Zheng Guifei was that the usually weak and quiet third prince was gone, and was replaced by a young general who showed the style of a decisive sergeant from time to time. And the most puzzling thing is that his bad habits and bad problems seem to have disappeared overnight!
Zhu Changxun's favorite thing in the past, like his emperor father, who regarded wealth as his life, sat in the room, playing a game of throwing silver with the little eunuch he served. But when I came back this time, not only did I not play, but I also strictly forbade the little eunuchs around me to play. According to Zhu Changxun's own statement, if you can play throwing silver today, shouldn't you play throwing living people tomorrow?!
His habit of obviously having a military style aroused Zheng Guifei's vigilance. Zheng Guifei sternly interrogated him, who did he learn these things from? For the first time, he said to Concubine Zheng Guifei in a reasonable tone, the queen mother, as a prince, should have a good habit that a prince must have, instead of being as corrupt and decadent as a gentleman!
Zheng Guifei was surprised and delighted at the same time! My son has finally grown up! It seems that he is getting closer and closer to the throne of the crown prince! Compared with the eldest prince Zhu Changluo, he has the majesty of an emperor! Look at that Zhu Changluo again, cowardly and indecisive by nature, how can he compare with his current son? If the emperor sees it, I'm afraid he will be even more pampered!
Wanli is also very satisfied with Zhu Changxun's changes! That's what you want to achieve! He interrogated Zhu Changxun carefully, Zhu Yidao's usual training, style and living habits, Zhu Changxun honestly told Wanli everything. After hearing this, he was very relieved, he originally thought that he had lost his eyes, and he had recruited a formal character of Zhang Ju for himself, which seemed to be quite good! So this is the real reason why Wanli privately sponsored Zhu Yidao so much grain and grass, and silver two.
Zhu Yidao looked at Zhu Changxun who was bouncing around, and narrowed his eyes gloomily. Don't think I don't know what the hell your emperor Lao Tzu is fighting, but I won't say it, let alone let him down, this Zhu Changxun I will definitely cultivate it well, until one day he has the strength to kick Zhu Changluo out of the gladiatorial arena by himself!
Pang Tong still looked frightened, looking at Zhu Yidao and Zhu Changxun. Some time ago, Zhu Yidao took him and several general flags back to the station, and was extremely warmly entertained by Jiang Fei, and now he finally came back with the army, making everyone feel the warmth of home.
First, the mountains ate and drank the sea. For nearly a month, every day in the ruins of the earthquake, not enough to eat and sleep, but also to beware of the disaster victims, everyone's spirit is almost to the limit, now can finally relax the spirit that has been tense for so long, it is so pleasant!
So Zhu Yidao thought of a way to let everyone relax and relax. He proposes that everyone should perform one of their best talents, except for drinking. If you can't perform, you have to give a drink, and then run to the middle of the playground and shout "I'm incompetent" three times. All of a sudden, everyone's fighting spirit was aroused, just kidding, who wants to admit that they are incompetent? So Xintianyou in northern Shaanxi, folk songs in Shandong, and big drums in Henan...... For a while, it was a wonderful gathering, and Zhu Yidao never thought that the sergeants who originally thought they wouldn't know anything would have so many abilities!
Even Jiang Fei was forced by everyone to write a folk song. His incomplete voice made the audience laugh completely, and since then he has had an additional title: Thor. This title was given by Zhu Yidao, which means that he is an extremely thunderous immortal, so this title swept the entire Jingshi Right Institute overnight, no matter who it is, when he sees him, he will respectfully shout Lord Thor! Jiang Fei was furious, but he was helpless.
But the most unexpected thing was the new little eunuch Pang Tong. He was originally more timid, and he was even more frightened when he came to this kind of scene! What about this Zhu Qianhu playing with me? How can this work? No matter how hard it is, it has to be done, with the encouragement of thousands of people in the audience, and under the continuous blows and stimulation of Jiang Fei and Zhu Yidao, Pang Tong decided to let it go, because Zhu Qianhu said that he wanted to die in the sky and not die for thousands of years. This stimulated Pang Tong's sensitive nerves, he was already a eunuch, but even if he died, he had to die like a man!
So, Pang Tong, who finally walked out of the cowardice in his heart, sang a song in the playground that shocked the world, and this song also shocked Zhu Yidao. What he sang was the song "Loyal to the Country" that Zhu Yidao inadvertently sang. In fact, this song is only sung by wolves and soldiers from the right place of the Beijing Division in the army, and when the Beijing Division is still in disaster relief, because there is busy work to do every day, everyone has never sung it, and naturally no one has heard it. But the wolves and the Jingshi Right Institute have always sung it as a military song, where did this little eunuch learn it? Zhu Yidao is very puzzling.
After the celebration banquet was over, Lao Zhu specially found him and asked this question, Pang Tong said solemnly, once, the emperor was training for the wolves, and when the drill was completed, in order to improve morale, he led everyone to sing this song. The sound was so loud that many of the attendants heard it. This extremely manly song suddenly stirred the mood of these disabled people, and they invariably recalled that before they entered the palace, they also had such lofty ambitions, but fate always likes to joke with people. How can you not be thrilled to hear such a song now?
I actually wrote this song. Zhu Yidao is very stinky.
Pang Tong tried his best to widen his small slitted eyes, staring at him as if he had met Zhu Yidao for the first time.
