Wenyuan Pavilion is in the room. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ info
Liu Jian looked at the good news sent by the 800-mile rush in his hand, and couldn't help but show a hint of joy, "There has been a lot of good news recently, and the matter in Guangxi has been solved." β
"I think the emperor can breathe a sigh of relief." Li Dongyang said with a smile, "I have encountered so many things just after ascending the throne, and Your Majesty is probably quite a headache." β
"Headache?" Liu Jian couldn't help but shake his head, "Looking at the things that the emperor has tossed out these days, I think Your Majesty is not idle enough to be lively!" β
"It's not necessarily necessary to toss, looking at Your Majesty's movements these days, it is estimated that you are going to do something big!" Li Dongyang put forward a different opinion.
"Big deal?" Liu Jian looked at Li Dongyang and said disapprovingly, "In addition to the dismissal of the eunuchs, I really didn't see what the emperor wanted to do, but I did see the emperor trying to be lazy." β
It is really rare for such a ridiculous thing to come out of Liu Jian's mouth, obviously he is very unaccustomed to some of Zheng De's lazy behavior. Li Dongyang couldn't help but smile lightly, "Just by dismissing the eunuchs, the emperor's courage is obviously not much worse than that of the first emperor, and I think it is still excessive." β
"Chaling, what you said is a bit excessive, right?" Liu Jian looked at him with a look of disbelief, "The emperor just did one thing, and you say that his courage is comparable to that of the first emperor?" β
Li Dongyang smiled faintly, "Do you remember what the first emperor said when Liu Daxia, the secretary of the Ministry of War, persuaded the first emperor to remove the eunuchs guarding the town?" β
"The law of the ancestors should not be moved." Liu Jian instantly understood the meaning of Li Dongyang's words, but he still shook his head, "I can't say anything about this, it's just that the emperor is more bold." Even the law of the ancestors dares to act rashly, and I am a little worried about this matter. β
Li Dongyang smiled bitterly and shook his head, he didn't know why this pavilion elder had such a big prejudice against the new emperor. Obviously, the emperor did something that the previous emperors wanted to do but never did, and the first thing he thought of was not relief but worry, and he didn't know what to think. Maybe it's because the emperor's personality is very different from the previous emperor's that it caused him to think this way.
Seeing that Li Dongyang stopped talking, Liu Jian also knew that he definitely didn't agree with his thoughts. Shaking his head helplessly, "Chaling, you are fine with everything." It's just that this character is a little weak, and it needs to be changed! β
Hearing Liu Jian's remarks, Li Dongyang just smiled lightly and didn't want to argue. His eyes showed a hint of tiredness, and he said secretly, "Now that the court has stabilized, maybe it's time for me to leave." β

Inside the Imperial Study of the Maoqin Palace.
"Do you think I'm too ruthless?" Zheng De looked at Wang Tingxiang and said this, obviously talking about the deprivation of Zhu Hui and the Duke of Baoguo.
"At the beginning, the courtiers were all excited about the false report of the military exploits of the Baoguo Gong, and they wrote to ask me to punish him severely. But when I did what they did, they sympathized with Zhu Hui, but felt that my punishment was too heavy. What do you think they think? β
"If Your Majesty can be so ruthless to a nobleman, then what will those courtiers who are not as good as the nobles think?" Wang Tingxiang didn't say it explicitly, but just mentioned it.
Zheng De suddenly realized when he heard this, "I see, are they afraid that I will be cruel to them one day?" β
Wang Ting smiled but said nothing.
"But if I hadn't made a mistake, how would I punish them?" Zheng De shook his head, "It seems that these courtiers usually seem to be clean, upright and honest, and they are not doing some dirty things behind their backs, otherwise why should they be afraid of me?" β
"The minister has a word, but I don't know whether to say it or not." Wang Tingxiang smiled at this time and arched his hand.
Zheng De looked at him with a somewhat serious expression, and knew that he was going to say something taboo, so he waved his hand and said, "I forgive you for your innocence, you can say it." β
Wang Tingxiang said, "The courtiers are not necessarily afraid that their little tails will be caught, but that Your Majesty is tyrannical!" β
"Tyrannical sex? Is it possible for me? Zheng De was not angry, laughed, and looked at him, "Ziheng, do you think I am like this kind of person?" β
"Your Majesty is naturally not, but I can't guarantee that the courtiers think so!" After getting along with each other for this period of time, Wang Ting naturally understood Zheng De's character. Although the temper is not very good, sometimes he will be angry, and he is very lazy, and he is very hot in doing things...... There are a lot of problems, but the only advantage is that you can still listen to opinions. In his opinion, this is already good, and it may be possible to become a faint king, but it is by no means a tyrant as the courtiers say.
"Ziheng still understands me!" Zheng De smirked. If you know what Wang Tingxiang thinks in his heart, I don't know if I can laugh or not.
"By the way, the old guy of the right capital Yu Shi Lin ......" accidentally said something, Zheng De glanced at Wang Tingxiang, and saw that the latter didn't hear it at all. Coughing quite embarrassedly, "How is Shi Aiqing's condition?" If he hadn't come back and fell ill, I would have taken him. β
What Zheng De said in his mouth was naturally Shi Lin, the right capital of the Admiral's military affairs, and this time there was such a big basket, Shi Lin, who was the supervisor of the army, must have an unshirkable responsibility. But just as Zheng De was about to take action, the news came out that the latter had fallen ill after he returned. Coupled with the pleas of the courtiers, he didn't know what to do with him.
But this one is too sick, right? suspected that this deliberately pretended to be sick to escape punishment, and immediately sent Wang Tingxiang to visit on his behalf, so as to spy on the truth and truth.
Wang Tingxiang also looked sad when he heard this, "His Majesty went to visit and found that Lord Shi Lin was really sick. It is estimated that it is because of the Xuanfu incident, and the traffic and horses are tiring back and forth. Coupled with the fact that I am old. And according to his family, he has not eaten rice for many days, and I am afraid that he will be more auspicious if he falls ill this time! β
Zheng De was also instantly silent when he heard this, originally he suspected that this person deliberately pretended to be sick to escape punishment. But now it seems that this one is really sick, and it looks like his time is running out. He can't afford to pursue this person now, after all, it is only a responsibility for negligence at most, and it is better to let this old man leave with peace of mind.
"Ziheng, you wait for me to visit this right capital imperial history again, and decide to pardon him for negligence."
When Wang Tingxiang heard this, he arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty is merciful. β
Zheng De nodded, and was about to say something more. Wang Yue walked in.
"Long live the lord, Liu Daxia, the secretary of the military department, is here."
"Let him in." Zheng De seemed to have thought of something, and also guessed the purpose of Liu Daxia's visit. turned to Wang Tingxiang and said, "Ziheng, what do you think this Lord Shangshu of the Ministry of War is coming to me?" β
Wang Tingxiang smiled and said, "Didn't Your Majesty already guess it, why bother to tease Weichen?" β
"Those who know me, Ziheng also." Zheng De couldn't help but laugh.
"Wechen see Your Majesty." Liu Daxia came in and said to Zheng De, who had already sat on the throne again. Wang Tingxiang, who was standing behind him, saluted him and said, "I've seen Lord Shangshu." β
Liu Daxia glanced at Wang Tingxiang, and was naturally clear about this celebrity around the emperor recently. Although he doesn't like to have others on his side when discussing major affairs in the court, it is obvious that the emperor will not let him out, so he can only follow him.
"Your Majesty, Zhu Hui, the Duke of Baoguo, has been demoted to a commoner, and the position of Marshal of the Beijing Camp is vacant, and it is still up to Your Majesty to decide who will fill the vacancy."
Zheng De nodded, the 12th regiment battalion is the central army of the Ming Dynasty, and it is also the capital of his own life, so naturally there is no room for loss. Now that there is a vacancy in the Beijing camp, it is natural to choose a reliable person, but there can be no more people like Zhu Hui.
It's a pity that Zheng De used the search system to search for so many people, but Wenchen found a lot of them, but there were very few generals, and there were even fewer people with outstanding abilities. Yang Yi liquidation is the most outstanding one, but it is a pity that the northwest frontier of the Ming Dynasty cannot be guarded by no one. At least until Zheng De finds a replacement candidate, Yang Yiqing really can't leave. There is also Pan Fan, the governor of Liangguang, but it is a pity that the emperors in the south are not at ease, and there is no shortage of people to sit in the town. Hu Lian is also one, but unfortunately he has just entered the Shidenke, and his qualifications are too shallow.
Zheng Zhengde hollowed out his head and didn't think of a suitable candidate, so he could only look at Liu Daxia, "Aiqing has a candidate?" β
Liu Daxia obviously came prepared, and immediately said when he heard the words, "The minister thinks that Xu Jin, the former head of the household department, is the most suitable candidate, he has been in the border pass for many years, has patrolled Datong, Gansu and other towns, and is familiar with military affairs. He also went into battle to kill the enemy, and Hami was recovered in his hands. β
Zheng De nodded when he heard this, and he also felt that this person was a good candidate, but he still had a trace of doubt, "Aiqing said that the former household servant?" Such a talent, isn't it in the imperial court now? β
Liu Daxia nodded awkwardly, "Xu Jin was impeached by the Yanguan, and he left helplessly. β
There is an unspoken rule in the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty that no matter who is impeached by the official, and whether you are right or wrong, you must immediately report to the official. But as long as you're thick-skinned, it's okay not to leave. Just like Liu Ji, one of the "Papier-mΓ’chΓ© Three Pavilion Elders" in the Chenghua period, was nicknamed "Liu Mian", what does it mean? Cotton, don't be afraid to play! Of course, most well-established ministers will abide by this convention.
And for this unspoken rule, Zheng De also hates it. Because this rule is too loophole, and it is not binding. Even if it is binding, it is only for those righteous ministers, and those shameless traitors do not care.
Zheng De is very satisfied with this candidate, after all, he has been on the battlefield, is familiar with military affairs, and has made military exploits.
"Let's go in, and let's reinstate as a squire in the military department."
"This ......" Liu Daxia hesitated a little, "Your Majesty, this is a little inappropriate." β
"What's wrong?" Zheng De looked at him suspiciously, "Could it be that his qualifications are not enough?" β
Liu Daxia said, "Naturally, it's enough, the minister just thinks that the left and right attendants of the military department are full, and there are no vacancies." β
"Who said there can only be two left and right waiters?" Zheng De didn't care, after all, in his previous life, under a main position, there was less than one deputy position, and there were more than seventy or eighty people, which was not surprising.
He waved his hand, "That's it, Qi Fu Xu Jin is the squire of the military department, and he is in charge of the affairs of the twelve regiments and battalions." Ziheng, let's get the idea. β
Liu Daxia suddenly regretted it when he heard this, why did he recommend Xu Jin as the marshal of the Beijing camp, this is really shooting himself in the foot!
But where do you start? It turned out that what Liu Daxia admired the most was Xiong Xiu, the squire of the Ministry of War, and he was originally pushed to the position of the secretary of the Ministry of War after he became a servant. It's a pity that Xu Jin's qualifications are higher than Xiong Xiu's, but I didn't expect my recommendation to ruin my plan, I really regret not being at the beginning!
"I'll leave this matter to Aiqing, and by the way, inform Xu to come in and see me." Zheng De handed the written decree to Liu Daxia.
"Obey." A wry smile appeared at the corner of Liu Daxia's mouth.
Seeing Liu Daxia leave with a depressed expression, Zheng De looked puzzled, "What's wrong with him, why did his mood suddenly become so low?" β
"Who knows?" Wang Tingxiang smiled lightly, but obviously guessed a few points.
"Don't talk about him." If you don't understand it, don't think about it, this can be regarded as one of Zheng De's advantages. Turning his head to look at Wang Tingxiang, "Ziheng, since the matter over there in Guangxi has been resolved, how to reward you can be prepared for me." β
Wang Tingxiang nodded, "The minister understands." β
