Chapter 371: Catch the ducks on the shelves
Emperor Zhengde has always looked out of tune since he ascended the throne, so when the ministers hear that the emperor has thought of a method, they all have a blank look, right?
Emperor Zhengde was not annoyed when he saw the stunned appearance of the ministers below, but instead looked triumphant, and said with a smile: "I have decided to reduce or exempt taxes in Gyeonggi, Hebei, Henan, Shandong and other places, and the specific cabinet will draw up a charter!" ”
"The people's minds are not confused! If taxes are reduced or reduced, there will be no one to rebel again, and the rebels will be unstable! I will choose another capable and good general to rectify the military affairs of the commander of the Beijing camp and quell the chaos. This two-pronged approach will definitely work! ”
Emperor Zhengde finished speaking, the ministers below, after listening to each other, although he did not think of the method of tax reduction, but after all, they are all full of poetry and books, a little thought to taste the beauty of this method.
This method is indeed very reliable! The ministers didn't expect that Emperor Zhengde, who had always been out of tune, would come up with such a strategy that would have the best of both worlds, and they were all stunned for a while.
Emperor Zhengde finished speaking triumphantly, and was about to accept the praise of the ministers, but when he saw that the ministers were all staying there, he couldn't help frowning and said, "What? Is there anything wrong with what I said? ”
The ministers heard the dissatisfaction in Emperor Zhengde's tone, and they all reacted, and the scholar Li Dongyang was the first to speak: "What the emperor said is very true, this two-pronged strategy is very wonderful!" ”
The scholars all spoke, and the ministers who were still arguing just now instantly became happy, and they came out to praise one after another, and for a while, the sycophants were like a tide, and the Zhengde Emperor was elated, so unexpected!
Emperor Zhengde was happy for a while, calmed down a little, and then ordered: "The chaos is very urgent, and the cabinet should draw up a charter for tax reduction and exemption as soon as possible!" ”
Li Dongyang replied: "The emperor can rest assured, the ministers will definitely draw up a charter overnight when they go back!" This person who quelled the chaos, the minister recommended the right attendant of the military department, Lu Wan, to supervise the military affairs to go to Bazhou to quell the chaos! ”
Emperor Zhengde smiled and said, "Well, I already have a suitable candidate!" ”
Li Dongyang was very surprised when he heard this, but he didn't expect that the emperor not only came up with a strategy to quell the chaos, but also came up with a person to quell the chaos. Li Dongyang said with anticipation: "I don't know who the emperor wants?" ”
Emperor Zhengde smiled and said: "Admiral Shenji Battalion, 3,000 Battalion Zhang Zhijie!" ”
Zhang Zhijie was shocked when he heard it in the back, what the hell is this? Why don't you say a word to me, just condemn me?!
Zhang Zhijie is not shocked, leading troops to fight is not a trivial matter, it is related to the lives of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people, and it must not be sloppy!
Zhang Zhijie has never even seen anything like a soldier secretary, let alone commanding a war! Although he commanded the 3,000 battalions and the Shenji battalion, he only urged them to be diligent in training, which is not the same thing as taking them out to fight!
If Zhang Zhijie was shocked, then the ministers were directly stunned, and let Zhang Zhijie lead the troops to fight, what the hell? Zhang Zhijie is just a teenager!
Although he took Zhang Yong, Gu Dayong and others to bring down Liu Jin, it was with the emperor's trust, not with any ability! It's not the same thing as fighting a war!
It's not that he has really become a general by commanding the military camp, this Zhang Zhijie doesn't know how to learn, and he doesn't know if he has read a military book, even if he has read a military book, it's just a paper talk!
The reason why Emperor Zhengde suddenly decided to send Zhang Zhijie to supervise military affairs was mainly due to his blind trust in Zhang Zhijie's omnipotence. In addition, he had seen the Shenji Battalion turn into a mighty and majestic division in Zhang Zhijie's hands.
Since he has trained so well in his spare time, the level of fighting is definitely not bad. Therefore, Emperor Zhengde decided in his heart, and it must be Zhang Zhijie to choose a good general!
Emperor Zhengde thought so, but the ministers didn't think so. Although everyone is very appreciative of Zhang Zhijie's overthrow of Liu Jin and the purging of the government, general things don't care about Zhang Zhijie!
Like the emperor added Zhang Zhijie the title of prince and young prince, how many ministers can't get it after hard work all their lives, but they are put on the head by a teenager, how many people are envious!
Although the ministers felt that it was inappropriate for Zhang Zhijie to be crowned the prince at a young age, they thought that Zhang Zhijie could be regarded as a great contribution to the society, so they pinched their noses and recognized it!
But this is not the same thing as leading the army to fight after all, this matter can not be pinched and recognized, Liu Yu, the secretary of the military department, immediately came out of the ranks and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the thief army is not to be underestimated, although Zhang Zhijie is young and promising, but after all, he has insufficient experience, and he has never led the army, and I hope that the emperor will choose another good general!" ”
The secretary of the military department is in charge of military affairs, and it is very weighty to speak out against it at this time, but then not only the secretary of the military department, but also the imperial envoys of the left and right of the Metropolitan Procuratorate are also listed to oppose it.
In the end, Li Dongyang, a member of the cabinet, came out and said: "Your Majesty, soldiers are a major matter of the country, and they must not be child's play!" Now that the thieves are becoming more and more intense, the government and the opposition hope that the king will be restless, and hope that the emperor will select capable ministers and good generals to calm the place in one fell swoop, and return the mountains and seas to a tranquility! ”
"Lu Wannai, the squire of the Ministry of War, is a second-class jinshi, rich in five cars, and is proficient in military books, and has been in the Ministry of War for a long time, and is quite familiar with war! Please think twice! ”
After Li Dongyang finished speaking, the ministers all bowed down and said, "Please think twice!" Zhang Zhijie was very abrupt in the back, and the ministers leaned over to respond, but he didn't bend in the back, and he didn't bend over, which was very embarrassing.
Although Zhang Zhijie was bombarded by several important ministers of the court, he was not angry, but he felt a little embarrassed! After all, he himself felt that Emperor Zhengde's decision was a bit hasty, let alone the ministers of the court!
After all, he is young and shallow, not a general, and has never shown any outstanding ability to lead troops, at best, he has trained soldiers in a decent manner, if he has no opinion on the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty in order to cater to the emperor, then it is not a worry!
Zhang Zhijie was not angry, but Emperor Zhengde was pale, and his lungs were angry! The two-pronged strategy proposed by Zhang Zhijie earlier also won the praise of the ministers, why did he propose that Zhang Zhijie lead the troops, and they all objected!
Emperor Zhengde snorted angrily: "You have been arguing here for a long time, and I haven't seen you come up with any measures to quell the chaos!" The two-pronged strategy just now was proposed by Zhang Zhijie, and I think it is very insightful, don't you all say it after listening to it? ”
"The Manchu civil and military forces failed to come up with a feasible strategy, Zhang Zhijie put it forward, isn't this a good general? As ministers of the DPRK and China, you must be loyal to the public body and the country, and you can't think of jealousy of the virtuous ministers! ”
The ministers below were all very surprised when they heard it, but they didn't expect this two-pronged strategy to be proposed by Zhang Zhijie!
