Originally, the military department had a very heavy authority, in charge of the selection of military attachés and military registration, ordnance, military orders, bans, post stations and other matters, but now the military orders and bans have been transferred to the general's mansion, and the military department has actually become the assistant subordinate body of the general's mansion.

The general's military office replaced the governor's office of the five armies, and placed subordinate officials such as Tongzhi, Zhishi, Experience, Metropolitan Affairs, and Records, and Tongzhi Xiangzan Military Aircraft Affairs, and the Ministers were in charge of the rosters of soldiers and horses in various places, and the food and salaries were in charge of the rosters of soldiers and horses in various places.

"General, take the liberty to come and bother!"

"Shousuke is polite, please come in!"

Cao Bianjiao was very enthusiastic to introduce Shi Kefa into the living room, Shi Kefa personally took the initiative to visit, Cao Bianjiao naturally wanted to give him enough face, many things in the future, but also need Shi Kefa's assistance, so that he didn't want to make a civil and military discord, when the time came, what was lost was the vitality of the Ming Dynasty, and the endless fighting was definitely not what Cao Bianjiao wanted to see.

After the two of them took their seats, they served new tea, and Cao Bianjiao also asked: "Shoufu, Shoufu should be in the cabinet at this time, why did you come to me?" Is there anything you want to discuss with me? ”

"Exactly! General please see, this is the Ministry of War received about Shandong General Liu Zeqing's note, this person when the country is in danger, not ordered to go north to rescue Kyoto, but led the army to flee without a fight, all the way south, when leading the troops to the south, he burned and looted everywhere he passed, and Han Ruyue was ordered to Jiangsu and Zhejiang to inspect the grain and salary, but he was not used to what he did, Liu Zeqing actually instructed someone to assassinate Han Ruyu, when Lu Zhenfei served as Huaifu, he was taken in Huai'an, and now Liu Zeqing asked the court for food, and the Ministry of War sent the song to the cabinet, I want to discuss this military matter with the general first, I don't know how the general thinks about this matter? ”

Hearing Shi Kefa's words, Cao Bianjiao also endured that breath, the Ministry of War did not discuss with him, and directly submitted it to the cabinet, this is not to put him in his eyes, He Tengjiao was also too presumptuous, he took away his official position as the governor of Huguang and transferred to the Ministry of War, he must have complained in his heart, but he submitted it to the cabinet, it is not considered a violation, even if Cao Bianjiao is unhappy, he can't deal with him with this.

"Liu Zeqing is ruthless and vicious, and he will be retributed, he once thought that the scholar Liu Hongxun was his uncle, and later as soon as Liu Hongxun died, he treated his son as a nephew, a complete snob. When he rescued Kaifeng, he also saw that the situation was not good and immediately retreated, causing tens of thousands of soldiers to die in the wilderness, what good soldiers can such a person bring, it is a thief who will be defeated, and there is no way to suppress bandits, disturbing the people, such a person, can not stay, I will deal with this matter personally. ”

"What does the general want to do with Liu Zeqing?" Shi Kefa also asked, Liu Zeqing has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in his hands, if it is not good, it is possible to rebel, and now he is still gathering in Huai'an, which is the important place of Caoyun and the Huaihe River barrier, so there can be no trouble.

Cao Bianjiao also fell into deep thought, and said after a while: "I don't know what to do about this matter yet, it's in vain to think about it now, adapt to the situation, if Liu Zeqing can turn back, he can still serve the court, if he is obsessed, then it's hard to say, Shoufu, you put this matter there first, I'll go to Huai'an, and deal with the things over there, I can't let them ruin the prestige of the court anymore, every evil thing they do, the people are counted on the head of the court, The cause of their own sowing is that they should eat the fruit themselves. ”

"Understood, I will put this matter on hold and put this matter aside for the time being, but the general also needs to be careful, Huai'an is now an eventful place, in addition to Liu Zeqing, there is also a Gao Jie, and it is not a simple character!" Shi Kefa still reminded Cao Bianjiao, now Cao Bianjiao's identity is different, if Cao Bianjiao has any accidents, the loss to the Ming Dynasty is undoubtedly huge, and the Ming Dynasty can't afford so many losses.

"Originally, I wanted to go to Wuchang first, and solved Zuo Liangyu's matter, but I didn't expect another accident, Shoufu, the Ming Dynasty is now full of holes, we need to make up for these wounds one by one, and say a word that digs out my heart, I really want to divide my person into two parts to use, Zuo Liangyu of Wuchang, with hundreds of thousands of soldiers, can't ignore it, Jiangbei's Liu Zeqing, Liu Liangzuo, Gao Jie, which one doesn't need to be unified, the doppelganger is flawless, someone is saying behind my back that I Cao Bianjiao is power, but the person who said this doesn't want to think about it, I don't do it, who will do it, those people who talk nonsense, if you really have this ability, I can give him the right, and I will be a general who charges into battle, Shoufu, the affairs in the court, but it depends on you a lot. ”

At this moment, Shi Kefa's feelings about Cao Bianjiao have changed greatly, as Cao Bianjiao said, this is a mess, and there is always a need for someone to stand up and clean it up, those people in Cao Bianjiao's mouth, Shi Kefa naturally knows who they are, they come to clean up this mess, but I am afraid that in the end, it will be more erosive.

"Don't worry, the general, I Shi Kefa know what I should do, the general doesn't have to worry about the affairs of the court, Zhang Shenyan, Gao Zhuo, Yuan Jixian and others still have a public heart, and they will also assist from the side, the officials of the six departments are also recommended by the general, and they must all be people who can be of great use, although the emperor is young, he is very smart, the affairs of the court can't be messed up, although the general is relieved!" Shi Kefa also replied with a resolute face.

"Then I'll put this burden on your shoulders!" Cao Bianjiao also said with a smile at the moment: "By the way, the military department's notes on the military situation will be sent to the general's mansion in the future, and I, the general, am not furnishings, right!" ”

"Got it!" Shi Kefa also understood, this time He Tengjiao did something inappropriate, why He Tengjiao did this, he also understood, but Shi Kefa felt that Cao Bianjiao did right, He Tengjiao had always lived in Jiangxi during his tenure as governor of Huguang, what is this, after all, Hunan had not been lost at that time, he was afraid of war, that is, there was a reason to dismiss him, but Cao Bianjiao did not do it, it was also out of consideration for the overall situation, but He Tengjiao did have complaints in his heart, affecting official affairs, and he also felt that this move was inappropriate.

"Can the first emperor's name and temple number be decided?"

"Drafted a few, ready to report to the emperor for decision, Zhang Shenyan discussed the temple name of the first emperor as Emperor Yizong, the servant of the ministry Gu Xichou discussed the temple number Ganzong or Qianzong, Qian Qianyi proposed the name of the first emperor as Shao Tian Yi Dao Gangming Ke Jian Wen Fen Wu Zhi Ren Chun Xiaozhuang Emperor, the temple name Yizong, I think it is very good, what does the general think?"

"Not bad! Yes, I think I can directly report the draft prepared by Qian Qianyi, and if the emperor is not satisfied, the rest of the people will come up and talk about it. ”

"If that's the case, then listen to the general!" Shi Kefa is also in favor.
