PS. Present today's update, by the way, pull a vote for the "Starting Point" 515 Fan Festival, everyone has 8 votes, and the vote will also give the starting point coin, kneel down and beg everyone to support and appreciate!

Enke's matter has been temporarily settled, but what Yang Tinghe said when he left made Zheng De sleepless all night. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info stayed until the next day, with two dark circles under his eyes, he went directly to the Yamen of the Ministry of Rites, wanting to completely solve this matter. lest there be a thorn in the heart that will make it unspeakably embarrassing.

However, when he walked on the thousand-step corridor and was about to arrive in front of the previous yamen of the Ministry of Rites, Zheng De looked up at the plaque above his head, and suddenly walked in with a move.

That's right, Zheng De ended up in the Ministry of War instead of the Ministry of Rites.

This is the lobby of the military department instead of the ceremonial department, could it be that this great tomorrow has mistaken the plaque? But the words "li" and "soldier" really don't seem to have any similarities, and it's impossible to admit mistakes!

When the emperor appeared in the lobby of the Ministry of War and looked around, the officials in charge of the Ministry of War who were busy going back and forth in the hall of the Ministry of War were also startled when they looked at the young man who suddenly appeared in a red dragon robe in front of them. What's more, he almost couldn't help but scold his origin, but in the end, after finding out that it was the emperor who broke in, he was scared into a cold sweat and secretly congratulated himself that he finally endured.

These officials were about to come forward to salute but were stopped by Zheng De, and waved their hands, "Let's all be exempt, if you have your own affairs, you can go separately, I'll just take a look everywhere." ”

It was also Zheng De's whim who had nothing to do and suddenly wanted to inspect the Yamen of the Ministry of War like those leaders in his previous life. And it just happened to be a little bit of a matter to find the military department Shangshu Xiong embroidery. So before going to the Ministry of Rites, I first ran to the Yamen of the Ministry of War.

The current secretary of the military department is Xiong Xiu, the left waiter Xu Jin, and the right waiter Yan Zhongyu, and the three of them happened to be in the hall of the military department, and when they heard that the emperor came to the hall of the military department, they hurriedly ushered it out.

"Chen Xiong Xiu (Xu Jin, Yan Zhongyu) See Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

"You don't have to be formal, just sit down!" Zheng De walked directly to the main seat in the lobby and sat down unceremoniously. looked up at the three military bosses in front of him, and waved his hand to beckon them to sit down.

After the three of them sat down, Zheng De glanced at them, and finally fixed on Xu Jin, the commander of the Beijing camp, "Last time, I promised the Beijing army and the pro-soldier that each of them could receive three taels of silver as a pension, and a few days ago I had ordered the prime minister of the royal court to hand over the silver to Xu Qing's hands, have you received the distribution?" ”

The three of them were stunned when they heard this, but they didn't expect the emperor to still be worried about this matter. They all looked at each other strangely, and Xiong Xiu, the secretary of the Ministry of War, stood up and arched his hand, "Back to Your Majesty, Wang Tingxiang, the Minister in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, has already paid all the amounts." It's just that this kind of subsidy only benefits the pro-army and the Beijing army, and there are no less than 400 guards in the world, so is it unfair and suspicious of favoring one over the other? ”

Zheng De glanced at his Minister of Defense quite meaningfully, "If it weren't for the fact that the eunuchs guarding the Quartet were finally found to be so dirty and unbanked, I'm afraid it would be difficult to get so much silver taels to pay, and if the soldiers in the whole guard wanted to get a piece of the pie, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to come up with so much money." Therefore, this matter can only be done for the time being, and the silver taels that have arrived in the account will be distributed to the Beijing army and the pro-army first. As for Xiong Qing, don't meddle in this matter, and leave it to Xu Jin, the commander of the Beijing army, to be in charge. ”

When he heard the emperor's last words, Xiong Xiu's heart chuckled, could it be that His Majesty knew about the temporary detention of more than 500,000 taels of silver?

This Master of the Military Department suddenly became a little troubled, and his face was cloudy for a while. On the contrary, it made Zheng De feel a little funny, and he didn't bother him, so that he could be sober and sober, so as not to be fooled by himself.

Just signaled to the two military squires, and then quietly left.

Originally, when he heard Mu Bin's report that the military secretary he had appointed had temporarily withheld more than 500,000 taels of silver that he had distributed to the pro-army and the Beijing army, he was very dissatisfied and wanted to settle accounts with this person. But now it seems that nothing can be done other than warning. You can't let this minister, who has just taken over the military department for a few days, be swept to the end right away, right? Wouldn't it seem too naïve to change the order of the dynasty, so how would the Chinese military officials of the DPRK view themselves?

A person who likes to be self-motivated will never achieve great things!

So after thinking about it again, Zheng De only reminded him vaguely, hoping that his subordinate would no longer be smart and make decisions behind his own back. When the time comes, someone who claims to be quite tolerant will be able to punish him without scruples about so much.

"Your Majesty?"

In fact, contemplation was only a matter of a moment, and when Xiong Xiu immediately reacted, he found that only the last back of the emperor was left in the distance and disappeared around the corner. He looked suspiciously at Xu Jin, the left squire of the military department and the marshal of the Beijing camp, "Is this matter a complaint from Lord Xu to Your Majesty?" ”

It's no wonder that Xiong Xiu will be suspicious of Xu Jin, when he took over the post of secretary of the Ministry of War, in fact, if the three of them are judged by their respective qualifications, the most suitable candidate should be Xu Jin, the left attendant of the Ministry of War. However, because the marshal of the Beijing camp has reached the age of sixty-nine, he will retire this year according to the rules set by Zheng De himself. Later, Liu Daxia, the secretary of the Ministry of War, persuaded Zheng De to finally make up his mind to let Xiong Xiu take over the post of secretary of the Ministry of War. After all, what he needs is someone who can help him do things for a long time, not a temporary worker who only works for a while and then retires, so that the continuity of some of the policies he implements can be guaranteed, which is also the point he values most.

"Has Lord Ministries forgotten the Daming Military Intelligence Bureau?" Although Xu Jin didn't like Xiong Xiu, he didn't want to have a dispute with his top boss, so he reminded him lightly.

Daming Military Intelligence Bureau?

Xiong Xiu only remembered at this time that this special yamen with a strange name and its predecessor was evolved from the eyes and ears of the emperor Jinyiwei, and it was probably difficult for these things to escape their intelligence collection. But now it is obvious that this yamen, which is similar to the former Jinyi Guard, has been much more low-key after the name change, and if you don't pay attention to it, I'm afraid it's easy to be ignored.

"What does Lord Xu mean, they told the emperor about this?"

Xu Jin didn't mean to answer, but just saluted and said, "Since the ministry is fine, then the lower officials will retire first!" ”

After speaking, Bento left first.

Although he did not explicitly oppose Xiong Xiu's appointment as the secretary of the military department, it did not mean that he was definitely in favor of this matter. It's just that when it's a foregone conclusion, it's hard to say anything more. And according to the retirement system stipulated by the emperor, he only had one year left in the court. So even if he doesn't sell his top boss face, the latter will probably take advantage of him.

Looking at Xu Jin, who left suddenly, although Xiong Xiu was a little confused for a while, he also understood the thoughts of the left servant of the military department.

In that case, let's enter the water and not invade the river!

He thought so.

Of course, the busiest of the six departments now is the Ministry of Rites. Now, due to the approach of Enko, many preparations for the exam are being carried out in an orderly manner. And this can be regarded as the first major event that Wang Jing has embarked on since taking over the Ministry of Rites, and it is not sloppy at all.

Looking at the bustling and lively hall of the Ministry of Rites, Zheng De and Grandma Liu seemed to have entered the Grand View Garden. But his conspicuous attire must not have been able to hide all the eyes, and Ken was quickly recognized.

He stopped the officials at all levels who were about to salute, and directly found Wang Jing, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Zhang Shu and Yang Tinghe, the left and right attendants, because the former had been sitting in the hall of the Ministry of Rites because of Enke's affairs.

Zheng De sat down on the main seat, looking at the three ministers in charge of the Ministry of Rites in front of him, compared to the three people in the Ministry of War, both age and ability were worthy of his attention. Moreover, Wang Jing and Yang Tinghe can be regarded as being pulled up by him. However, although he promoted people, they may not be regarded as his own confidants.

This is also because of some things that he vaguely felt after this Enko incident. Of course, he doesn't care too much about this kind of thing now.

Wang Jing, the word Tingcai, the number Donggao, Shandong Junan. Ming Chenghua Jinshi, a clean and honest official all his life, gave a very high ...... in the history of the Ming Dynasty

Zheng De filtered the information in his mind and found that although he had promoted this capable minister with the talent of the prime minister, he was exceptionally promoted. But they have never really understood and discovered this person's talent, so that they can really make the best use of things. In a word, it's a bit of a tyrannical thing.

In fact, if it weren't for Yang Tinghe's previous reminder, Zheng De would have really ignored the special position where this person is located. Thinking that the cabinet scholars headed by Li Dongyang had objections to Enko's matter, they knocked everyone to death with a stick, thinking that the four cabinet ministers agreed with this matter, but it seemed that it was not necessarily a thing.

At least Wang Jing is the only one of the four cabinet ministers who didn't say much but just held a tacit attitude. This somewhat ambiguous attitude is worth playing in the eyes of Yang Tinghe and other old foxes. And reminding Zheng De of the meaning, firstly, he will not fall into the target of the public, and secondly, he can also sell it to the emperor, why not?

So when he saw the emperor coming to the hall of the Ministry of Rites, Yang Tinghe obviously guessed what the emperor was doing here!

Everything is unsurprising!

"I wonder what Wang Qing thinks of Enke this time?" Zheng De asked directly to the point.
