Chapter 176: The Monarch and the Ministers Play Right
Treating a Song Mingyi who was idle at home, of course Zhu Youzhen would not bother much, everything was done in accordance with the charter, and Jin Yiwei was ordered to investigate Song Mingyi.
On the first day of Zhao Shujiao's entry into Beijing, Li Guopu, the first assistant to the cabinet, on behalf of the emperor, held a banquet to entertain Zhao Shujiao.
This is a great grace, which flattered Zhao Shujiao, who rarely entered Beijing, but he still looked indifferent, accustomed to life and death, and of course he could cope with it in this situation.
Yuan Chonghuan, as the secretary of the Ministry of War and an auxiliary minister of the cabinet, is of course on the list.
During the banquet, most of the officials who participated in the banquet toasted to Zhao Shujiao, Zhao Shujiao was a martial artist, and he was also bold, and those who came did not refuse until he was drunk, Yuan Chonghuan, who was watching from the side, was a little displeased, but he didn't say anything?
Drunk in front of so many important ministers of the court, let others think that he is a frivolous and proud person, of course, this is also the cleverness of Zhao Shujiao, throughout the ages, there are many famous generals, but there are a few people who have a good death, he was in the army when he was in the heart to serve the country, in the years of Liaodong, he saw the tragic end of the two governors, and he was very taboo about participating in the government. Just think about it, who wants to have a person in their group who has no rules.
Although collusion between foreign troops and ministers of the DPRK and China is a serious crime, it is not uncommon in the Ming Dynasty, just because the party competition between the DPRK and China will affect the localities, and the main generals of the border army are the targets of the ministers of the DPRK and China, especially the generals with military merits like Zhao Shujiao, who have the capital to be promoted, so they are more useful.
Zhu Youzhen hates party strife, no one says party strife on the surface, but there are still some in private, and it is even very serious, Zhao Shujiao saw the situation of the imperial court clearly, so he acted like this.
On the second day, because Zhao Shujiao, who was drunk and asleep, was woken up by the eunuch in the palace, only to learn that the emperor had summoned him, Zhao Shujiao got up in a panic, took a bath, dressed up, put on the prepared court clothes, and prepared to enter the palace to face the saint.
It is a very great honor in this era for a border general like Zhao Shujiao to enter the Beijing Face Saint, so Zhao Shujiao also attaches great importance to it.
When he arrived at the palace gate, Wang Chengen came towards Zhao Shujiao with a smile on his face.
Zhao Shujiao, who was riding a tall horse, didn't dare to hold it up, so he hurriedly turned over and dismounted, and arched his hand towards Wang Chengen: "I've seen Wang Gonggong." ”
Zhao Shujiao had never seen Wang Chengen at all, but on the way he came, the accompanying eunuch had told him that the eunuch Wang Chengen was greeted at the palace gate, Wang Chengen was a close minister of the emperor, and it could be said that he replaced the emperor when he went out of the palace to greet him, which made Zhao Shujiao even more grateful, and had some kindness to this emperor who had never been masked.
"General Zhao defends the land for the country, and threatens the Liaodong Jurchen, our family has always wanted to see each other, and when I see it at this time, it is really heroic and extraordinary." Wang Chengen said with a smile on his face.
"Don't make fun of the young general, how can the young general's appearance be considered heroic?" Zhao Shujiao looks relatively ordinary, people rely on clothes, horses, saddles, and court clothes, but they can really have something to do with the so-called heroic martial arts.
"How can our family make fun of General Zhao, General Zhao comes with me, the emperor is waiting for General Zhao in the palace?" Wang Chengen said with a smile.
Hearing that Zhu Youzhen was waiting, Zhao Shujiao didn't dare to hold it up, and hurriedly said, "Father-in-law, please first." “
Wang Chengen smiled and took the lead in walking towards the palace, followed by Zhao Shujiao.
The scale of this summoning was not large, and like ordinary summoned ministers, Zhu Youzhen waited for the arrival of Zhao Shujiao in the Qianqing Palace.
Zhu Youzhen also changed into the armor in the emperor's clothing, this kind of imperial clothing, which was worn by the emperor of the Ming Dynasty when he hunted and conquered, is also the most common armor style, its shape is a placket, square neck or round neck, sleeveless, both sides of the body and the back of the coat are open, in order to facilitate horseback riding and other activities, Zhu Youzhen has been on the throne for a year, and this armor has been manufactured for more than a year, but this is the first time Zhu Youzhen wears, this is to prove to the Manchu Dynasty how much they value Zhao Shujiao, and how to view the situation in Liaodong.
Zhu Youzhen sat on the dragon chair, and there was a historian sitting at the bottom, responsible for recording.
Zhao led the sect into the Qianqing Palace, took a few steps forward, and then bowed down and shouted.
Zhu Youzhen sat in front of the dragon case and raised his arm lightly: "General Zhao is exempt." “
Zhao Shujiao got up when he heard this, looked up at the emperor, and found that the emperor was also looking at him, so he hurriedly lowered his head, he had never dealt with the emperor, and he didn't know much about the emperor, so of course he didn't dare to make any rude moves.
And Zhu Youzhen called Zhao Shujiao General Zhao, which is also an honorific title, which is an affirmation of his great victory in Liaodong.
"Come on, give a seat to General Zhao."
When the eunuch outside the palace heard this, he hurriedly received the decree and brought a chair.
Seeing the emperor for the first time, Zhao Shujiao of course did not dare to sit opposite him, and hurriedly excused himself: "Your Majesty, the emperor sits in front, and he should be a member of the court and a cabinet assistant, and the last general will not dare to bear it, and I implore the emperor to take back his fate." ”
Zhu Youzhen smiled: "General Zhao, there is no need to be like this, this battle of Liaodong, General Zhao can be said to have made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty, Sun Jingluo has mentioned General Zhao's merits many times in the battle report, how can I slack off in the treatment of meritorious people, the emperor sits in front, it is harmless, and General Zhao does not have to excuse himself." ”
After listening to Zhu Youzhen's words, Zhao Shujiao had no choice but to take a seat, of course, deep down in his heart, he couldn't help but increase his good impression of Zhu Youzhen, he guarded the world for the Ming Zhu family at the border, and now the emperor treated him so favorably, so that his heart was surging, and he thought that all the hardships were bearable.
Zhao Shujiao as early as the border pass, I heard that the new emperor and the first emperor are completely different, diligent and good at listening to other people's opinions, heavy military affairs and people's livelihood, originally Zhao Shujiao still a little disbelieving, just think that the emperor eradicated the power of the minister Wei Zhongxian, become the veritable master of the Ming Dynasty, all over the wind and move, for its merits and praise, to get the new emperor's attention, but after a period of time, Zhao Shujiao really realized that the new emperor is consistent with the rumors, only because Zhao Shujiao in Liaodong, felt the change in the imperial court policy.
First of all, it was an alliance with Mongolia, in fact, during the years of Shenzong, the Mongols sent troops to help the Ming army, but this was not on the table, and the court did not officially admit it, but at this time, Zhu Youzhen had the courage to put these things on the bright side, it can be seen that the difference with Shenzong and Emperor Tianqi, and in the military camp, Zhao Shujiao also felt the change, the emperor paid more attention to the soldiers, and there were more or less arrears of military salaries before, but at this time, after the new emperor ascended the throne, the distribution of military salaries was very punctual, and it was difficult for the imperial court to suddenly become very rich, No, this is a matter of attitude, it is the attitude of the new emperor, the attitude of the entire imperial court, and the emperor's decentralization of Liaodong, this Liaodong war, the imperial court did not point fingers at any arrangement of Sun Chengzong, just silently supported, this is very rare, all kinds of signs show that the emperor does trust Sun Chengzong, and knows more about military affairs than Emperor Guangqi.
