Chapter 142: Coercion of Wen Tiren 3
After listening to Li Guopu's words, Zhu Youzhen laughed out loud, nodded and said: "I have seen Sun Chengzong's excerpts, which is remarkable, but what about the Ministry of War, what does the Ministry of War think?" ”
Zhu Youzhen wanted to ask Yuan Chonghuan's thoughts, Yuan Chonghuan sighed and said: "Weichen thinks that Jiannu is a disaster, not a day or two, now in the land of Liaodong, the tail is not big, and the court can not solve the disaster of Liaodong in the short term, from the battle of Sarhu in the year of Shenzong, to the battle of Ningyuan today, the army of Jiannu is getting stronger and stronger, the cavalry is even more invincible, and the army of Liaodong is invincible, so the Liaodong defense line was established, but after Weichen entered the Beijing division to take charge of the military department, he found out that the disaster of Jiannu could not shake the foundation of the Ming Dynasty, Our garrison in Gyeonggi far exceeds the total number of soldiers in Jiannu, not to mention that now the Liaodong fortress and the city have been established, even if it is dragged, it can drag Houjin to death.

"Yuan Chonghuan, you have also entered the cabinet, do you think the current imperial court can afford it?" Zhu Youzhen asked with a serious face.
"As long as the new policy can be implemented, the court is united, and the generals are not afraid of death, we can afford to drag it out." In the previous life, Yuan Chonghuan thought that he had won the battle of Ningyuan, so he was arrogant, lost his words in front of the king, and defended the ground, which led to the Houjin cavalry crossing the Liaodong defense line painstakingly managed by the Ming Dynasty, and finally ended up miserable, but at this time, Yuan Chonghuan was in charge of the military department, and he was familiar with the land of Gyeonggi and the soldiers and horses in Liaodong, so he knew that even if the Ming Dynasty was weak at this time, the Houjin could not shake its fundamentals, because the Ming Dynasty has always been a strong country, but the previous court faction political struggle was too severe, and there was a lack of a strong monarch to suppress the scene. At this time, the Ming Dynasty had a strong monarch, and it was a great thing for the Ming Dynasty to be able to suppress the political struggle between factions with his own will.
"All the premise is that the new deal can be implemented smoothly, what do you two think about the rejection of the new deal in various parts of Jiangnan?" Zhu Youzhen said softly, and the killing intent flashed in his eyes.
Li Guopu is an old minister, so of course he has to make a statement: "Enlighten the emperor, the cabinet will issue a supervision document on a certain day, and warn officials from all over the country." ”
"Li Ge Lao, if the lower officials are not mistaken, this urging document is already the third time this month, it can be useful, now these local officials and the local squire are one family, moving those rich and noble families, it is tantamount to directly touching them, the lower officials think that it is no longer a paper to urge the document can be punished, the emperor, Wei Chen thinks, should add some fierce material, this new policy is the cabinet of the six departments of the confidential department jointly agreed, and there are local governors and Cheng Xuan political envoys agreed, the court also strongly supports, But why did they hesitate to move when they arrived at the localities, the books of the household department showed that if the new policy was implemented throughout the country, the taxes in various parts of Jiangnan would be increased by more than 3 million, especially the commercial tax and salt tax. Grain can also be levied nearly a million deniers more, although so much more grain and money are collected, but the ordinary people are not affected, and they also get the real benefits of dividing the land and cultivating the land. It is really hateful that these local officials are still procrastinating in this way, and they should be severely punished and warned. "Yuan Chonghuan is a Confucian general, ruthless, Li Guopu didn't dare to say these things he said, and he couldn't say them.
After Zhu Youzhen listened to Yuan Chonghuan's words, he didn't say anything, just nodded, he had already arranged it, Li Guopu also wanted to stop talking after listening to Yuan Chonghuan's words, in fact, Li Guopu was not in favor of using coercive means, but now the local officials in Jiangnan are really inactive, even their former subordinates are delaying, so Li Guopu can't think of any other means, and now he really understands Huang Liji, the former cabinet chief, and in the face of a monarch like Zhu Youzhen, he can only bear his name.
After the three of them discussed some Liaodong matters, the two of them retreated, Zhu Youzhen also picked up the Shaanxi chapter, sighing, at this time Tian Shu took a cup of tea and put it on the dragon case, Zhu Youzhen put down the chapter, glanced at Tian Shu, Tian Shu entered the Qianqing Palace for eight months, during this period, Zhu Youzhen never let her sleep, and Tian Shu gradually no longer feared this very cruel emperor in the palace.
"Your Majesty, let's have a cup of tea first."
Zhu Youzhen took a sip of tea, and just wanted to speak, Zhang Gong pushed the door into the hall and knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, Jinyiwei commanded Luo Yangxing, and commanded Tongzhi Li Shichao to come to meet him." ”
Zhu Youzhen put down the teacup and said, "Let them come in." Tian Shu also hurriedly retreated.
Li Shichao and Luo Yangxing from the previous subordinate relationship, to now there is a competitive relationship, Li Shichao entangled with the old subordinates of Yuan Tian Ergeng in the Jinyi Wei formed a new small interest group, of course, Luo Yangxing also knows the birth of this group, but he is helpless, since last year's supervision of the Henan forced salary case, Li Shichao has entered the emperor's sight, wantonly promoted, his split and confrontation is actually Zhu Youzhen's acquiescence, and even support, but Li Shichao will also be a man and do things, with credit absolutely not monopolized, Although the momentum of development is rapid, Luo Yangxing has become a confidential minister, and it cannot threaten Luo Yangxing at this time.
Li Shichao himself did not want to develop his cronies, but since he was promoted to the official position of commander and Tongzhi, many former friends have taken refuge in him, and the emperor has praised himself again and again, at that time Li Shichao understood that this Y road was chosen by the emperor for him, and he also understood the emperor's intentions, so he developed his own power according to Zhu Youzhen's wishes.
Zhu Youzhen really attaches great importance to Li Shichao, on the one hand, it is to check and balance Luo's temperament, and of course, the most important thing is that Li Shichao does have the ability.
After the two of them visited, Zhu Youzhen said: "Luo Yangxing, you are a confidential minister, and you serve as the commander of Jinyiwei, so you go to the southwest provinces alone to inspect the implementation of the new policy, and Li Shichao, I will issue an order with Wen Tiren tomorrow, let him accompany you to the provinces of Jiangnan to inspect, the provinces of Jiangnan have the greatest resistance to the new policy, and the progress is also the slowest, your responsibility is relatively heavy, that Wen Tiren has read half a lifetime of books, sometimes the brain will not be bright, you go with him, when appropriate, you can order one or two, I think he'll listen to you. ”
After the implementation of the new policy in March, Zhu Youzhen ordered the Confidential Department to be responsible for supervising things, and after the implementation of the new policy in July, the progress was slow, and the cabinet and the Confidential Department jointly agreed that they should send inspection envoys to the provinces to supervise the progress, of course, this candidate was to be determined by Zhu Youzhen.
"Wechen obeys." The two knelt down again to receive the order.
The sky of the Ming Dynasty is destined to change.
After the two stood up, Zhu Youzhen looked at Luo Yangxing and said: "Luo Yangxing, your qualifications are higher than Li Shichao, and you have seen more of the world than him, so I am very relieved that you go to the southwest provinces to inspect." When you arrive in Shaanxi, greet Li Shuo on my behalf, and tell him that I and the imperial court will not give up a Ming people. ”
"Thank you for the emperor's trust, the emperor's words, Weichen will definitely bring it."
"Sun Chuanting over there in Sichuan has always done a good job, you can also commend him, of course, if he can help Li Shuo, he can also help. If you are a minister of the same dynasty, you should share the worries of the country together, and if your official position reaches this level, you should always look forward to the good of our Ming Dynasty, and you should always think about how to make the Ming Dynasty more prosperous. After Zhu Youzhen finished speaking, Luo Yangxing was a little surprised, I don't know why the emperor spoke like this, in Luo Yangxing's memory, Zhu Youzhen never said what he said today, could it be that the military affairs in Liaodong disturbed the emperor.
In fact, when Zhu Youzhen said this today, he also wanted Luo Yangxing to understand, you are still the pillar of the country, I can tell you what is in my heart, Li Shichao can't replace your position, rest assured, but looking at Luo's condition, I don't understand Zhu Youzhen's good intentions.
