Speaking of which, this new army and Xiao Jing really can't fight. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Xiao Jing estimated that the reason why His Majesty asked this was that he had already had an idea in his heart.

Xiao Jing thought for a while, and then said: "The slave doesn't know anything about martial arts, so she doesn't dare to say anything. ”

Zhu Youzhu knew his cautious surname, and when he heard him say this, he said with a smile: "Since you don't say it, then I will say it." The new military is close to Sheji, which is my top priority at the moment, and the Ming Dynasty has been lax in armament for so many years, which is also my fault. But then again, the relationship between the new army is not small, and the amount of internal money required is innumerable, so it is natural to be more cautious. Military attachés, of course, can be transferred from border towns, or from the original new army. It's just that the question of who will be the commander of the new army. ”

Xiao Jing thought in his heart that Liu Chengfeng was the commander of the Jinyi Guard, so it was naturally not suitable. However, the emperor's mind may not have the intention of letting Liu Chengfeng take on the same role, after all, the creation of the new army was done by Liu Chengfeng himself, and it is the most suitable for him to do this kind of thing.

But then again, Liu Chengfeng is not suitable for this commander, the reason is very simple, Liu Chengfeng has entered the core of Jinyiwei, and if he is appointed as the commander of the new army, this authority will be too great. This is not a question of trust in the palace, and the court will never let this happen.

Xiao Jing understood in his heart that the emperor was in a dilemma now, but he couldn't talk to the cabinet about these things, and he wanted to find someone to discuss and discuss before making up his mind.

It's just that the commander of this new army is really a little difficult, the military attache of the border town may not be suitable, and the 12 guards of the pro-army may not be able to have any candidates. If it is allowed to serve as a civil servant in the court, it may not be effective, and it is really annoying.

Xiao Jing thought for a while and said, "The slave doesn't dare to say it." ”

This kind of answer is naturally not what he should answer, and when it comes to military affairs, he will not speak at will.

Zhu Youzhang smiled slightly, and then said: "In fact, a few days ago, Liu Chengfeng had a charter for preparing for the establishment of a new army, and this charter also said about it, Liu Chengfeng meant that the prince had nothing to do in the East Palace, and since he was the prince, why not let the prince serve as the commander of the capital." The prince had also trained the new army in the past, so he was quite familiar with the affairs of the new army, and he could also sharpen the prince. ”

Zhu Youzhu said such a thing, which made Xiao Jing full of surprise.

Liu Chengfeng is really bold, and he dares to say this kind of proposal. In the past, the prince trained the new army, that was because the court did not take the new army in its eyes at all, the so-called new army, in fact, did not even have a formal court establishment, to put it bluntly, you can say that it is a militia group, and it is just a plaything for Liu Chengfeng and the prince, anyway, it can't be on the stage.

Although later, the new army has been renewed, and in one fell swoop, it has defeated the Tile Thorn Iron Cavalry, which has gradually become important to the imperial court. But it's not a big scale, so no one cares about that.

But now it is completely different, this new army will be officially included in the quota of the imperial court, and like the pro-army, it will become an important garrison force of the imperial court in Beijing. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is certainly smart, but he has never been very serious, so let him be the commander of the new army? This is a bit of a nonsense.

Besides, the court will definitely not agree, in their opinion, how can the prince wield a knife and a gun? What martial arts are you going to do? As a prince, you should study hard and be a holy emperor in the future.

If this thing is poked out, I'm afraid there will definitely be trouble again. Only Liu Chengfeng dared to come up with this bad idea, but what about the emperor? Could the emperor not understand the truth of this? Now ask yourself, is it really exciting?

Thinking of this, Xiao Jing couldn't help but analyze again. For the time being, there are no good candidates for the new army, and those who can be trusted may not be useful, and those who are useful may not be trustworthy. And the crown prince is the most reassuring in His Majesty's heart. It's just that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince personally serves as a military official, and there are indeed many inappropriatenesses, and what is inappropriate, Xiao Jing can't say anything for a while.

Zhu Youzhu suddenly sighed and said: "Actually, what Liu Chengfeng said is not unreasonable, the prince's surname is stubborn, it is time to let him sharpen it, he is not too young, he can't always go down like this, it is not a good thing to find something for him to do." ”

Although Zhu Youzhu sighed, he was actually revealing his tone. If it were a cabinet minister, it might have been impossible to say for a long time. But Xiao Jing is different, Xiao Jing can only agree, and it is impossible to object. Since His Majesty has made up his mind, what he thinks about is not whether he should do it, but how to do it well, and this is the difference between a eunuch and a minister.

Xiao Jing thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, it is indeed a good thing for the prince to be in charge of the new army, but then again, if there is no one to assist, I am afraid that it will ......."

Zhu Youzhu interrupted him: "That's what I mean, if there is no one to assist, I still don't worry, the new army is a national weapon, don't be careful." Therefore, I plan to set up a thousand households in the new army......"

Xiao Jing suddenly understood......

Liu Chengfeng could not hold an important post in the new army, but it was not without a compromise. Originally, these supervisors were either civil servants or eunuchs, but now the emperor means to let Jinyi Wei do the supervising army, if there are thousands of households in the new army, then Liu Chengfeng is equivalent to half of the supervising army, which has little to do with the new army, and is free from the new army, but can intervene and supervise at any time.

It's just that in this way, it is inevitable that another precedent has been opened, Jinyi Wei will be the prison army, and this opening may not be a good thing, at least it is very bad news for Xiao Jing. The general prison army is sent out by the cabinet and the palace, and if Jin Yiwei is a new army of the prison army, it will inevitably have an impact on Xiao Jing's status. You must know that many of the eunuchs in each town are his Xiao Jing's people, and if the new army is also sent from the palace, Xiao Jing's benefits are great.

But at this time, Zhu Youzhu was discussing with him, in fact, Xiao Jing had already figured out Zhu Youzhang's thoughts, Zhu Youzhang's city was very deep, if he didn't make up his mind, it would never be easy to tell people.

However, Jin Yiwei has now set up a thousand households in the commercial bank, and since then, in the new army, financial power, and military power have penetrated, let it go, will Dongchang still have a foothold in the future?

I have to think about it.

Xiao Jing's expression did not move, and said: "Your Majesty, the crown prince's command of the new army will already attract the opposition of many people, if the duties of the Jinyi Guard to supervise the new army are opened again, I am afraid that it will ......."

Zhu Youzhu couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "That's what I mean, that's why I came to you to ask, do you have a way to compromise?" ”

Xiao Jing said: "It's better to be like this, the slave maid has a candidate, and he can also supervise the new army." ”

Zhu Youzhu squinted his eyes and said lightly: "You say." ”

Xiao Jing said: "Zeng Shi." ”

When he said this name, Zhu Youzhu's eyes narrowed suddenly.

In fact, when Xiao Jing said this candidate, he couldn't help but regret it in his heart.

This Zeng Shi has a lot to do with a person, and the reason why he was brought up is because only he can save the situation.

Speaking of Zeng Shi, it is inevitable to mention another eunuch Huaien. Huai En is the eunuch of the Chenghua period, his person is respectful, honest and not greedy, the surname is upright, and Huai En always protects the upright ministers in the court, even if his head is broken and bleeding. Therefore, he not only has a huge reputation in the palace, but also has a great reputation in the foreign courts.

Even the historians who repaired history in later generations gave a very high evaluation, the Chenghua Dynasty was a very dark era, when right and wrong were reversed, countless ministers suffered, and villains were popular, and Huaien left no room for protection of them, and was even willing to risk his life.

For example, in the Chenghua Dynasty, there was a eunuch named Ah Jiu, whose brother committed a crime when he served as a Beijing guard, and was beaten and punished by Liu Daxia, a staff member of the military department at that time. Ah Jiu made a false accusation to the first emperor, and the palace was furious, and immediately arrested Liu Daxia and put him in prison. It was all saved by the power of Wyn to be released.

Lin Jun, a member of the staff, impeached Liang Fang and Seng Jixiao, was arrested and imprisoned, and Emperor Chenghua wanted to execute Lin Jun. Huai En repeatedly risked his life, and Emperor Chenghua was furious, threw him with an inkstone, and blasted him out. On the one hand, Huaien sent people to reprimand Liang Fang, who flattered Liang Fang, and poured Lin Jun's ugly deeds, warning them not to kill Lin Jun, and on the other hand, he said that he was ill and could not do anything. Xianzong had no choice but to send a physician to treat him, and Lin Jun was finally released.

It can be said that during the Chenghua Dynasty, there were countless ministers who received Huai'en's favor, and these ministers, whether Liu Daxia or Lin Jun, were already in important positions after the current emperor succeeded to the throne, not to mention them, that is, Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, Xie Qian, and Ma Wensheng, almost all of whom had received Huaien's great favor.

If it weren't for Huai'en, it was still unknown how many of these central ministers of the Hongzhi Dynasty would survive the darkest Chenghua Dynasty.

Therefore, Huai'en's prestige is very high, if it weren't for Huai'en's death in the first year of Hongzhi, I'm afraid that Xiao Jing wouldn't be able to call the shots in this palace.

As for this Zeng Shi, it has a great relationship with Huaien, Huaien has only accepted one godson in his life, this person is Zeng Shi, in the last years of Chenghua Dynasty, Wan Guifei and Liang Fang and others colluded to abolish the prince Zhu Youjiao, and Lixing Wang was the emperor, it was Huai En who fought for it, so he was expelled by Emperor Chenghua to Xiaoling Sixiang, Zeng Shi followed Huaien to Xiaoling and took care of him in every way.

It can be said that Zeng Shi is recognized by everyone as a relative of Huai'en, and it is said that once Zeng Shi was ordered to go out of the palace to read the will of the palace, but just after leaving the palace gate, dozens of hundreds of famous thorns and invitations were handed to him, all hoping that he could sit in the house after official business to catch up with the old days. And among these famous thorns and invitations, there are many cabinet ministers and ministers.
