After the regular cabinet meeting, Shi Xing came to Zhao Zhigao's duty room, and as soon as the door closed, the two sat down on chairs, looked at each other, and sighed.

"Xiao Jixin can't come back, Zhang Wei and Yang Junmin don't want him to come back, Wang Jingshi's words are like that, but I'm afraid I don't want Xiao Jixin to come back, but it's a pity that a general, who can be literate, brave and strategic, originally wanted to arrange for him to be the chief soldier of Jizhen or the general army of Datong, so as to rectify the defense of the nine borders, or directly transfer to Liaodong to clean up the mess in Liaodong, but now it is not possible."

Zhao Zhigao sighed for a while and shook his head helplessly.

Shi Xing is even more depressed, Xiao Ruxun is a general he pulled up, under the great achievements, he also has glory, his status rises, and he gradually has the qualification to win the cabinet, but there are many people in the court who don't want to see themselves enter the cabinet, Xiao Ruxun's thing is not only for Xiao Ruxun's military exploits and fear of the emperor, but also for his own jealousy?

At least Shi Xing still thinks about things from the emperor's standpoint, Ping Suli and that group of officials should keep a little distance, not to be regarded by them as their own people, it is normal to be excluded, those crazy people don't even let go of their own people, let alone him, an outsider.

"Ji Xin's talent, this time in command of the southern expedition, stunned is not the need for Chen Yongbin to contribute, Siam local Chinese immigrants donated 100,000 silver to fund the army to fight, he changed hands and used the 100,000 taels of silver to ask Siam to buy grain, local transfer, save a lot of consumption, to drive straight into the country without worrying about the food and grass hardship, and did not settle down, the local reputation is excellent, and the relationship with Siam is quite good, southern Xinjiang has settled down, it is difficult for the Ming Dynasty to fight again.

At this time, it was the time to mobilize him and his hundred battle heroes to defend and conquer Mongolia in the north, and it was the time to completely solve the border troubles on the nine sides. Just a little copper mine for a group of displaced people? How short-sighted is Zhang Wei? How selfish is Yang Junmin? How confused is Wang Jingshi? ”

Zhao Zhigao smiled bitterly a few times and said, "Dongquan, how shrewd is Zhang Wei? How cunning is Yang Junmin? How does Wang Jingshi understand? They just knew that if Xiao Jixin was left in the Beijing Division, it would give him another chance to make great contributions, there were not many generals who could win battles, but there were also many generals, who might win battles in a row, and how few generals could reconcile the contradictions between the local armies and make them work together?

These three people are all dragons and phoenixes among the people of Daming, can they not see clearly what kind of benefits will be brought to Daming if Xiao Jixin is in charge of the nine-sided border affairs? But they are still firmly opposed, why? No, it's because doing this is more harmful to them than not doing it! How capable is Xiao Jixin? Three battles and three victories, greatly increase my Ming prestige, and also greatly increase the prestige of your Shibutang! ”

Seeing Zhao Zhigao's eyes shining with light and a solemn expression, Shi Xing suddenly felt that everyone, including himself, didn't really realize what kind of person this famous "Mr. Confused" was.

Since the real power of the Chenghua Cabinet has increased greatly, which cabinet minister is a simple person?

Even if he boiled his qualifications, why did he get into it with so many senior ministers in the Ming Dynasty?

To this position of the most surprising figures, who is simple?

Shi Xing let out a long sigh.

"I thought that Xiao Jixin would make persistent efforts, and I, the secretary of the military department, would also enter the cabinet sooner or later, but now it seems that I am afraid that some people are unwilling to let me enter the cabinet, and they are not willing to watch me go further, alas! The bird is hidden before the bow is finished, the cunning rabbit is cooked before the lackey is dead, and I don't know what kind of disaster will happen, and Xiao Jixin will be killed in Myanmar, is it really so good? Is there really no danger to the country? ”

Zhao Zhigao smiled and said: "Let's see, if Xiao Jixin is in Beijing, the Mongols will not dare to act rashly, Xiao Jixin is in the southern Xinjiang, then the northern Xinjiang will inevitably be unstable, the wolves on the grassland are all eaten or not, and the Jin merchants are hindered from it, Ningxia is safer, but other places are not necessarily." ”

Shi Xing's brows were tightly knit, and his face was full of sorrow.

Wang Xijue's recital was quickly sent to the palace, but it was not sent to the hands of Emperor Wanli, but with Wang Xijue himself, it was sent to the palace of the Empress Dowager Li, not that Wang Xijue could avoid the emperor, but that the emperor was not seen, the palace door was locked, and the jade seal that could represent the supreme will of the country was in the hands of the Empress Dowager Li.

Without the courtiers knowing, Empress Dowager Li actually resumed her reign for a while, although she herself was unhappy about it.

But these things, Empress Dowager Li must do a good job, otherwise, it will be difficult for her to be stable in her old age.

If he doesn't take the initiative, the national dynasty is really not good to force him to stay in that wild place, but it seems that the national dynasty treats the heroes harshly, and it will inevitably chill the hearts of others. There is a place for the displaced people from all over the world, so you can live in peace, and don't toss anymore. ”

Empress Dowager Li looked at Xiao Ruxun's recital and nodded again and again.

Wang Xijue opened his mouth and said: "What the Queen Mother said is very true, and the old minister and the cabinet also mean this, but the biggest problem at the moment is what kind of name, let Xiao Ruxun guard the local area in what capacity, Xiao Ruxun himself asked for 'Shizhen Burma', but since the founding of the dynasty, only the Yunnan Mu clan has been the Duke of Qianguo Shizhen Yunnan, that is because King Mu is the son of Taizu, Xiao Ruxun has nothing to do with the royal family, and he rushed to Yongzhen Burma, I am afraid that it will be difficult to convince the public. ”

Empress Dowager Li pondered for a while, and said: "But Myanmar is different from Yunnan, Yunnan still belongs to the land of Huaxia Shenzhou, which has always been unified by my Central Plains, and is indispensable. ”

Wang Xijue opened his mouth and said: "The old minister also thinks like this, Burma is a wild place outside the country, the weather is very hot, damp and poisonous everywhere, even the Han people are not there, I am afraid that no one in the Central Plains is willing to go south to Myanmar to establish a state and county, Xiao Ruxun is not convenient to return to the dynasty, and according to the current treasury situation, there is no money to build a state and county, so only in accordance with the border practice, with the military to manage it, can the local stability be stabilized, the establishment of military town jurisdiction is inevitable, to Xiao Ruxun is also inevitable, the only thing to worry about is that Xiao Ruxun's identity is not enough, Not enough to defend the locality. ”

Empress Dowager Li thought for a while and said, "Since it's just a matter of identity, it's better to give him a sufficient identity, Wang Ge Lao, what do you say?" ”
