Although Wei Zhongxian has been excluding dissidents, but there are so many people in the court, how can it be so easy to succeed, the eunuch party is so powerful that it can influence the court situation, but Zhu Youzhen has his own natural advantages, he is the emperor, even if he doesn't do anything, he has his own civil and military officials to get close to him. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The power of the eunuch party is large, but Zhu Youzhen, as the emperor, can separate the key positions from the eunuch party, first of all, Cui Chengxiu, the secretary of the military department, but the time has not come, and when Hong Chengchou and Cao Wenzhao organize the three major battalions, it is the day when Cui Chengxiu is moved, and after the fall of Cui Chengxiu, it is also the time when the eunuch party collapses.

At nightfall, Zhu Youzhen personally wrote a holy decree and sent it to Liaodong to Sun Chengzong, who had already served as the governor of Liaodong, asking him to transfer Cao Wenzhao to Beijing to rectify the three major battalions, and the order on Hong Chengchou was also issued by the cabinet.

Wang Tiqian, on behalf of the emperor, issued an edict to dozens of descendants of the Guogong left over from the Battle of Jingyan, reprimanded, and sternly warned, the people of the Guogong Mansion were shocked, lest the new emperor and these nobles would open their swords and establish authority, but they did not think that they were not qualified enough, and there was only one person in the whole world, and that was Wei Zhongxian.

A day later, Cao Wenzhao, who led dozens of cavalry, came to the Beijing Division, just after arriving in the Beijing Division, Zhu Youzhen summoned Cao Wenzhao and told him to assist Hong Chengchou to complete the errand, Cao Wenzhao is Sun Chengzong's old department, although he was transferred out of Liaodong, but he did not dare to have a sense of dissatisfaction, and after entering Beijing, the position must be promoted to a higher level, and he can still sit on the three battalions of the town guard?

Two days later, the dusty Hong Chengchou came to Beijing.

Zhu Youzhen ordered Hong Chengchou and Cao Wenzhao to enter the palace together.

In the Taihe Palace, there is no grand event of civil and military officials, there are only two people standing below, one is dignified, his eyes are full of fine light, at first glance he is a wise person, this person is Hong Chengchou, and the other person is powerful and dark-skinned, this person is Cao Wenzhao who Zhu Youzhen has seen two days ago.

Some people say that he made a great contribution to the integration of the Manchu Qing into the Han nationality, and some people do not buy it, saying that he is a complete hypocrite and a big traitor.

And in the past few days, Zhu Youzhen also thought clearly, how many people like Hai Rui can there be, after Hong Chengchou was captured, he once preferred to die unyieldingly, as a monarch, Huang Taiji has always been courteous, and it is normal for people to be tempted, as long as he has always shown the demeanor of a Ming monarch, or the Ming Dynasty is not as unbearable as in the last time and space, for the sake of wisdom, he believes that Hong Chengchou will always be loyal to himself.

Zhu Youzhen looked at the two of them: "After careful consideration, I transferred the two of you from Liaodong and Shaanxi to Beijing, just to let you cooperate carefully and find back the three famous battalions in the Yongle period for me. ”

Hong Chengchou felt his blood boiling, he understood that this was the emperor to reuse his own performance, and hurriedly said respectfully: "The three major battalions of the Beijing Division have been in a state of collapse since the defeat of Tumubao, and the ministers are worried. “

After Hong Chengchou finished speaking, Cao Wenzhao should also say a word or two, but he is a military general, and he can't say such a bright scene as Hong Chengchou, but just said in a muffled voice: "Your Majesty, the minister must try his best to assist Lord Hong in rectifying the three major battalions of the Beijing Division." “

"The two Aiqing have a heart for the sake of the court, I am very comforted, Wang Tiqian, announce the decree." Zhu Youzhen said softly.

Wang Tiqian didn't dare to be careless, and hurriedly said: "The two adults will take the order." “

Hong Chengchou was okay, when he heard the word proclamation, he sorted out his official uniform and wanted to bow down, but Cao Wenzhao next to him was a frontier military attaché, if he hadn't been summoned to Beijing, he would not have been able to enter the Inner Palace in his life, let alone see the emperor, so he lost his temper, and when he heard the word Lingzhi, he didn't even respond to it, until Wang Tiqian's reminder, he remembered and knelt down with Hong Chengchou.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said, the three major battalions of the Beijing Division, many stubborn diseases, is the difficulty of the country, today summoned Shaanxi Provincial Senator Hong Chengchou, Liaodong General Cao Wenzhao, hope two Aiqing, mutual support, rectify the three major battalions of the Beijing Division, Feng Hong Chengchou as the left squire of the military department, in charge of military affairs, for the three major battalions of the Beijing Division, Cao Wenzhao is brave and powerful, meritorious in defending the frontier, and was named the chief officer of the three major battalions. Chin this. After the decree was recited, both of them were a little shocked.

Especially Hong Chengchou, Hong Chengchou is a civilian official, and the commanders of the three major battalions are often concurrently served by the secretary of the military department, and at this time it is handed over to him, which shows the prosperity of Longen, and Cao Wenzhao is shocked that the chief officer of these three battalions is far higher than his own rank of general, and he does not know how many levels he has been promoted.

After the two of them received the order, they stood up, and Zhu Youzhen said softly: "The three battalions are the most important of the country, and the imperial court has handed them over to the hands of the two Aiqing, you know that you have a long way to go." ”

"The minister is afraid, but since the emperor believes in Weichen, the minister must do his best, and return the emperor to the three major battalions of the Beijing division with clear military discipline and brave and good fighting." Hong Chengchou said with a sincere face, the woman is the one who pleases herself, and the one who is a confidant dies, Hong Chengchou feels that Zhu Youzhen is his own Bole, that is because Hong Chengchou liked to read military books and take charge of military affairs when he was a child.

Zhu Youzhen waved his hand and said: "Admiral Hong, I often listen to compliments, and I am tired of listening to them. I tell you plainly, if you can do your errand well, you will be a great hero of the Ming Dynasty, and I will be grateful to you for the rest of my life. “

Hong Chengchou lowered his head and stopped talking, but his heart was already overturned.

"Chief Cao, I transferred you from Liaodong to Jingshi, do you have any ideas in your heart?"

"I don't dare." Cao Wenzhao hurriedly said.

Looking at this famous general who died on the battlefield for the Ming Dynasty in the future, he couldn't help but laugh heartily, at least the Ming Dynasty did not betray his relatives.

"General Cao, as an official in Beijing, no better than the frontier, in the future, you will be a person from Admiral Hong's side, don't think about the frontier, be an official and do things, listen to Admiral Hong's advice more, and Admiral Hong, you should also give more advice." Zhu Youzhen was really worried that the fierce generals on this battlefield did not have a horse leather shroud, but died in the smokeless battlefield above the court, so he said this.

Obviously said to Cao Wenzhao, but in fact, he also alluded to Hong Chengchou, let the two of them walk around in private, add feelings, and also told Hong Chengchou that Huang Liji, the person who recommended him, is fine, and he should move around more, because in the future, there will be many people who will find trouble with the two of them, and when the time comes, Huang Liji, as the first assistant of the cabinet, will be able to suppress most people's troubles without Zhu Youjian coming forward.

"The minister obeys the order, and he will definitely ask Admiral Hong more in the future."

"Admiral Hong, General Cao, what I am going to tell you next is the situation of the three major battalions at this time. As the saying goes, the three major battalions of the Beijing Division are terminally ill, the military department is on the register, 170,000, but the number is less than 70,000, when the peace is peaceful, the empty salary, when the country is in trouble, pull Zhuang Ding, this is the three major battalions, Lord Hong is a civil official, once served in the household department, it should be clear that the annual salary given by the household department to the three battalions is 65 taels of silver, I will give you now, 1 million taels of silver, in August of the next year, I will pay the three battalions 800,000 taels of silver, you are responsible for pulling up these 170,000 troops to me, and training me well, if it is in the future, the court is in trouble, and the last reliance is on you. Zhu Youzhen's voice slowly calmed down.

Hong Chengchou and Cao Wenzhao both felt extremely favored, knelt down and said in unison: "The ministers will definitely live up to the emperor's support." ”

Zhu Youzhen looked at Wang Tiqian and said, "Princess, the mansion I prepared for the two adults has been prepared. “

"Tell the emperor, the two mansions have already been prepared."

Zhu Youzhen nodded, waved his hand and said, "Two adults, stand down." "

"The ministers are leaving." After speaking, the two of them walked out of the Taihe Palace, and the gears of history finally began to turn.
