Chapter 502: Supervising the Military Affairs of the Four Provinces

It stands to reason that this prince is the eldest son of Zhengde, so there should be no heir problem, but why does Emperor Zhengde dislike him?

Zhengde doesn't like the prince, it's not because the prince is too ugly, it's not because the prince wants to seize power, or it's not because there are some other messy problems, but because their father and son don't have the same views!

How does it not fit? Because he, the crown prince, attaches too much importance to the opinions of the ministers, this is not counted, and he regards himself as a literati every day, and if he has nothing to do, he will say a word of benevolence, and forget it, but he really does it, this kind of thinking behavior is pure stupid behavior in the eyes of Emperor Zhengde.

With such a stupid son, Emperor Zhengde once doubted whether this was his own seed!

I think he is so awesome as Emperor Zhengde, he has personally recruited many times, and he has thrown off the ministers to play by himself, even if he deals with the government, he doesn't care about the opinions of the courtiers!

Well, this is not a disparagement, but a compliment, Emperor Zhengde is different from his father, his father is a rubber stamp, and he does what the cabinet says.

But when it comes to Zhengde, the cabinet is a rubber stamp, Zhengde says what the cabinet does, and when the cabinet is unhappy, he directly bypasses the cabinet to deal with the government.

Therefore, regardless of the level of governance of the country with righteousness and morality, he has firmly controlled the power of the court for more than 40 years, and has crushed a group of civil officials to death, much stronger than countless previous emperors.

There's no way, it's not that the echo worm can't be a cabinet assistant under Zhengde!

Such a strong emperor, but his heir is extremely deferential, he only knows how to read the Four Books and Five Classics every day, and regards many theories of civil officials as governance, so it is strange that Emperor Zhengde can like such an heir.

Whenever he sees his own prince, he thinks of the unlucky Zhu Yunwen more than a hundred years ago, this kind of prince who listens to the words of civil officials and takes the words of civil officials as the truth If the prince ascends the throne as the emperor after his death, the world of the old Zhu family is estimated to be defeated in a few years.

Zhu Yunwen is a lesson from the past!

So in the last three or four years, he has already wanted to change the crown prince, as long as he is not the current prince, his other princes can do anything, such as the third good martial arts, which is like himself.

Although the sixth child also deals with civil officials on the surface, but knowing his son Mo Ruo's father, this old sixth has a bad stomach, and if he becomes the emperor in the future, I am afraid that he will abuse these ministers to death.

The three adult sons under his knees, whether they are the third or the sixth, are much stronger than the eldest son, the crown prince, and after becoming the emperor, they don't talk about opening up the territory or anything, but it is still barely possible to keep the old Zhu family.

But a group of civil officials at the bottom did not agree, and tried their best to protect the prince, saying that the country could not be easily shaken.

Guoben is a fart, he Zhengde still doesn't know the thoughts of these ministers, it's nothing more than that he has been living hard under his own hands for a long time, and he wants to return to the time of the first emperor in his dreams, well, it's the era when the civil officials said what the emperor did!

Otherwise, they wouldn't have gone to great lengths to educate their own prince!

Ma Dan, when he thought of this, he regretted it very much, how could he not see through the vicious intentions of these civil officials in the early years, if he knew, he would not have invited so many stubborn civil officials to be teachers for the prince.

It's a pity that regret is useless, although he has found many trumped-up charges over the years to kill the teacher who taught the prince, but the prince's three views have been completed, and he has become a complete Confucian disciple, shouting about benevolence every day.

Rende is a fart, our old Zhu family's world is not blown out by benevolence, but shot down with a knife and a shot, this benevolence has nothing to say, don't be stupid and really do it!

However, when he wanted to change the prince, the courtiers did not agree, and he had killed a lot of people over the years, but the ministers who had saved the prince were still like carp crossing the river, killing ten hundred of them.

In order to avoid making it bigger, he still endured it, but just grounded the prince first, and at the same time, he didn't let the third and sixth children go to the fiefdom to become vassals, just waiting for the day when the prince was changed!

Compared with the issue of heirs, this pseudo-Tang rebellion is just a trivial matter!

Zhengde sighed for the sake of the heir's problem, and Zhang Yue, who returned home, also had a bad face, this time he went south, not to mention whether he would suffer or not, I was afraid that he would not come back this time!

The puppet Tang thief army made such a big fuss, after Zhang Yue left the palace, he sent officials from Guizhou, Liangguang and other places to Beijing to look at all the folds, although many of the contents of these twists and turns are contradictory, but this does not prevent him from slowly sorting out and roughly judging the true situation of the puppet Tang thief army.

Judging from the situation sorted out from the many twists and turns, the puppet Tang thieves have extremely sharp weapons, with many heavy artillery of more than 1,000 catties, and there are quite a lot of heavy artillery battalions of hundreds of catties, and the firearms used by their individual soldiers are also extremely sharp.

The firearms are sharp, this is Zhang Yue's first and deepest impression of the puppet Tang thief army.

The second is to understand the real strength of the puppet Tang thief army, and he comprehensively judged that the puppet Tang thief army in Guizhou and Guangxi did not have 100,000, but at least 50,000 or 60,000 horses.

The third point is to have a detailed understanding of the high-level leaders in the Puppet Tang Dynasty, especially Li Wei himself and those high-ranking generals in the Puppet Tang Thief Army.

Li Xuan, the detailed information of this person, and even the situation of the three generations of the ancestors have long been known to the Ming Dynasty, because in the early years, Li Xuan had participated in the imperial examination, and there were many family records on the side of the official yamen.

But it's useless to know who Li Ei's ancestors are, it's useful to know what kind of person Li Ei is, but the outside world's understanding of Li Ei is only limited to hearing and various rumors, which are turned over and over again, and I haven't found a detailed description of Li Ei, such as personality or something.

The only thing that can be known is that although Li Yi is young, younger than the crown prince and the third highness, and only one year older than the sixth highness, he has personally led the army to conquer many times, and he is the real core of the pseudo-Tang thief army.

In addition to Li Wei, the information of several other high-ranking civil and military officials in the puppet Tang Dynasty was also turned out by Zhang Yue!

Liu Bagou, the first assistant of the pseudo-Tang cabinet, was born as a Taoist!

Qian Mengjiu, a pseudo-Tang cabinet minister, was born as a bandit master, and it is rumored that he has superb medical skills.

Wang Wenhua, a pseudo-Tang cabinet minister, was born as a teacher.

In Zhang Yue's opinion, these three ministers in the puppet Tang Dynasty are just a few people who don't learn and don't know how to do it, and they may recognize a few words, but it is estimated that they can't even write a complete article, so such a person is actually the cabinet boss of the puppet Tang Dynasty?

Looking at these Zhang Yue shook his head, but then when he saw the list of many generals in the Pseudo-Tang Dynasty, his brows furrowed slightly.

In this list of pseudo-Tang generals, the first one is Hao Bonian, and many officials in Guizhou and Guangxi are mentioning him, and saying that Hao Bonian is the first fierce general of the pseudo-Tang Dynasty, with many tricks and changeable troops, and has led troops to win more with fewer strikes many times, and is the vanguard general of the puppet Tang thief army who went south to Guangxi, defeated Wei Yan and Keliuzhou.

Just by looking at Hao Bonian's achievements and some rumors, I know that this person is definitely not easy to mess with, and the officials over there in Guangxi even said that Hao Bonian is the left arm and right arm of the puppet emperor Li Xuan, if he can kill this fang, the puppet emperor Li Xuan will break his arm!

In addition to Hao Bonian, Li Chunjing, Fang Xitong, Zeng Ziwen and several other senior generals naturally can't hide from outsiders, and many people in Guizhou and Liangguang have heard the names of these senior generals of the puppet Tang Thief Army.

However, the descriptions of these people are obviously not as exaggerated as Hao Bonian, and most of them just said a few words!

It was the butcher Chen who attracted Zhang Yue's attention, because he found the early Su Jiakang and Song Zhiwen's twists and turns, and said that the pseudo-Tang thief army had a member of the thief general surnamed Chen, who was born as a butcher and was good at killing pigs.

After reading the introduction of the main tasks of these pseudo-Tang thief army, Zhang Yue wondered in his heart, how did such a group of chaotic people set off such a big momentum?

Rebel? He has seen it and suppressed it a lot, but he has never seen such a strange rebellion!

Gathering tens of thousands of soldiers and horses is nothing, the key is, where did these pseudo-Tang thieves get so many sharp firearms? Make it yourself? How do they know how to make these firearms?

And why are their firearms so powerful, even more powerful than the officers and soldiers!

The more Zhang Yue looked at the situation of the puppet Tang thief army, the more he wondered, and in the end, he really couldn't figure it out, he ran to the prison on the third day, and he was going to see Song Zhiwen and several other Guizhou criminal officials who were escorted to Beijing for questioning!

He Zhang Yue wants to go to the prison to see people, and the people below naturally dare not stop him, after all, he was the left waiter of the military department before, this is a high-ranking official second only to Shangshu in the military department, and to put it mildly, if he hadn't passed through the Hanlin Academy back then, he would have stayed in this position of Zuo Shilang for a few more years, in case of luck, this would have a chance to enter the cabinet!

But if it's not the Hanlin Academy, there is not much hope for entering the cabinet in this life, and being a scholar is the limit.

And this time he was sent to the south to supervise the division and exterminate the thief, and Emperor Zhengde was also afraid that he would not be able to suppress the field, so he was promoted again, and he was promoted to the right capital of Yushi, and the governor of Guizhou, Guangxi, Guangdong, and Huguang provinces of military affairs.

Now he is the supervisor of the Eight Classics, and the actual biggest feudal minister in the Ming Dynasty!

Of course, there is no such official system as a supervisor in the official system of the Ming Dynasty, and his own official is the right capital imperial history, which is the second grade, and is quite an official position.

Such a high-ranking official, the people below him dared to stop him at all, he Zhang Yue said that he wanted to see Song Zhiwen and a group of Guizhou criminals, naturally he could easily see it!
