For the sudden change in the mood of the Son of Heaven, all the ministers were stunned, but they quickly calmed down, whether it was Li Rusong or Ma Gui, they were both generals of the imperial court, and they performed meritorious deeds, which was enough to see the ability of the two of them, so no matter which of these two led the army to the battle, it was indispensable for the ministers present.

After all, most of the people present were civil servants, so they didn't have too much to do with the generals, and there was no standing or conflict of interests.

"Wait for the Holy Judge!"

However, Chongxin Bo Fei Jiajin was a little sullen, in his case, Ma Gui is suitable, but there are also many factions in the army, and he and Li Rusong are relatively close, so this time on the expedition, he naturally wants to recommend Li Rusong, but who knew that this time Lord Shi was unexpectedly insistent, and finally made the Son of Heaven change his mind......

And in addition to Fei Dudu, there is also a crying face, that is, the head of the household Zhao Shiqing, he doesn't care about who wants to lead the army as a general, he only feels sorry for the silver of the treasury, originally said that it is good, send troops not to fight, who thought that the time to go out for a meal will become a battle to the death!

These four words are delicate and ingenious, but a large sum of silver taels will be burned behind it!

"Okay, announce the decree immediately, and transfer General Magui and General Li Rusong to the palace to meet you!"

In the past, Zhu Changluo would have encouraged the two of them, but now Zhu Changluo doesn't have this mind at all.

Because just now, he suddenly remembered one thing, Li Rusong in history was killed in an encounter with Tatars.

In history, Li Rusong led the army to meet the Tatar barbarian attack, led 3,000 light cavalry to smash the enemy's nest, but encountered an ambush by tens of thousands of Tatar troops, faced with nearly ten times his own troops, fought bloodily, and finally annihilated.

This incident should have happened in the twenty-sixth year of Wanli, but because of the arrival of Zhu Changluo, the fate of the people related to him naturally changed, in the twenty-sixth year of Wanli now, Li Rusong because he had an old relationship with Zhu Changluo, so he was not sent to the border to guard, but was idle in the capital, and it was not reactivated until the battle of Liaodong.

But after all, in the original history, he did die in the process of fighting with the Tatars, although time has changed, but Zhu Changluo did not dare to bet on this possibility.

There are many theories in history about the reason for Li Rusong's death, one is that Li Rusong planned to surprise the enemy at that time, and made the mistake of lightly advancing the enemy, but the sneak attack failed, but he fell into a heavy encirclement, and the army was defeated and died, and the other is that Li Rusong was betrayed by his subordinates, and someone revealed to the Tatars the time and route of Li Rusong's troops, which led to him being ambushed by the enemy.

It is difficult to verify which of these two possibilities is true, but one thing is certain, Li Rusong has been guarding Liaodong for a long time, and he is familiar with the situation in Liaodong and can sway freely, but in the face of Tatar, he may not be able to come and go like the wind.

In fact, in Zhu Changluo's view, the defeat and death of Li Rusong in history may not be just a reason, it may be because someone leaked his marching route, but also because he was too light on the enemy, or in other words, he made the mistake of empiricism.

You must know that Li Rusong has been a general for many years, and he also has his own strategy for governing the army, how can he not prevent someone from leaking military information, and the reason why he will lead the army to raid is actually a greater reason because 3,000 iron cavalry is almost invincible in Liaodong!

He has been in Liaodong for many years, mainly targeting the Jurchen tribes, and among the Jurchens, the Jianzhou tribe is the most powerful, but it has always been very deferential to the Ming Dynasty, and the strength of the other departments is not strong.

It's just that what he may not have expected is that he is not facing the scattered and weak Jurchen tribes, but the Tatars, the strong enemies of the Ming Dynasty for hundreds of years.

Although the Tatars were torn apart, the emaciated camels were larger than the horses, and any tribe of several tribes could gather tens of thousands of troops.

Zhu Changluo doesn't think that history will return to the original point, with his intervention, in fact, history has changed, and Li Rusong is afraid that it will be difficult to repeat the mistakes of history.

But he still can't hand over the position of the main general to Li Rusong, because although this incident did not happen, but it fully exposed Li Rusong's shortcomings, as the old Shoufu said, he is not familiar with the situation in Tatar, and he lacks experience in fighting the enemy with Tatar, once there is a mistake in decision-making, then it will be fatal for the entire army!

Relatively speaking, although Ma Gui's reputation is not as good as Li Rusong, he acts steadily, complements each other, and more importantly, he has guarded the border since he was in the army, and has had countless battles with the Tatars, and has a clear understanding of the strength and means of the Tatars, and it is more foolproof for him to lead the army......

Sighing in his heart, Zhu Changluo looked up, but found that all the ministers had retired, but there was still an old man who hesitated.

"What else is going on with Zhao Shangshu?"

The person who stayed was Zhao Shiqing, the head of the household, and the old man had a bitter face, expecting Ai Ai's way.

"Your Majesty, the old minister is bold, I want to ask Your Majesty, this time the ministers of the court and the central government have cleared their family property and collected two pieces of silver, can they ......?"

Can you return all the money to the household......

At this moment, Zhao Shangshu still does not have a clear understanding of the corruption situation in the imperial court, although all the officials' declarations are through the household department, but the statistics of silver taels are strictly confidential, except for the cabinet ministers and the emperor, no one knows the specific amount, in Zhao Shangshu's expectations, this time to collect stolen silver, how can millions of taels of silver be collected.

When the time comes, the treasury will be tight, and if we add a little more, we may be able to fill the hole in military spending......

"Humph! I was angry when I mentioned this, the court has been raising soldiers for many years, but I never wanted to raise a group of corrupt officials! ”

At the mention of this, Zhu Changluo's face suddenly became gloomy, and he spoke angrily.

"Your Majesty is angry!"

Zhao Shangshu's already bitter face darkened, so he had to bow down honestly, secretly saying in his heart that the emperor didn't want to give this money......

It's not impossible to look at this look, as soon as he thought of this, Lord Shangshu was heartbroken and said.

"Your Majesty, you and other corrupt officials are hateful, but finally my emperor Shengming, will be collected by the imperial court, Your Majesty has a previous decree, the silver will be handed over to the treasury after the collection, now is the time to use the silver, I don't know when Your Majesty will be able to deliver the silver to the household, the old minister should also arrange in advance!"

"Don't bother, the imperial court is using silver at this moment, and this silver tael will be used as the military expense for this expedition to Turmo, as for the treasury, it has not been abundant over the years, so there is no need to spend silver taels!"

Zhu Changluo's thunderous anger subsided for a while, and he waved his hand.

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Zhao Shangshu was overjoyed suddenly, he originally just wanted to take back the silver and give the treasury a little supplement, who knew that the Son of Heaven actually took this military expenditure directly, Zhao Shangshu couldn't suppress the joy in his heart, and couldn't help but want to praise the emperor from the inside out, he was too wise, too responsible, and too considerate of his subordinates!
