Zhu Youzhen did not answer He Xin immediately, at this moment, he realized in a trance that something was coming.

"He Xin, you said that once a person becomes an emperor, what do you need to pay more attention to, which position is unstable, or can the empire in charge be stronger?"

His Majesty the Emperor's sudden question, so that He Xin was a little confused, he was originally just a small eunuch in the court, and it was only from the seventeenth year of Chongzhen that he was reused by Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen, he had a deep affection for Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen, and he was also most familiar with His Majesty's mental journey from Chongzhen for seventeen years.

But at this moment, He Xin didn't know how to answer Zhu Youzhen, the empire had just gotten rid of the crisis of national extinction, and the prosperity of China was just around the corner, and behind this calm and vigorous life, it was inevitable that new struggles would appear.

He Xin didn't know if His Majesty knew any unknown secrets, but he could guess from Zhu Youzhen's words that it must be related to the struggle for the throne, and perhaps it was also related to the Jiangshan Sheji of the Ming Dynasty.

"Back to Your Majesty's words, Wechen will only lead troops to fight, and I don't understand the affairs of the court very well, but Wechen always remembers that Your Majesty said that no matter how the situation changes, the policy of advancing the Ming Dynasty cannot be changed."

He Xin didn't know if he had answered His Majesty's words, and Zhu Youzhen smiled faintly as if he had opened his mind: "I have no objection, Xu Zhaohua will be promoted to the master of ceremonies, and the rest of the internal officials will also approve their promotion, so that they don't have to come to thank them." ”

As soon as he walked outside, he saw a thin red-robed official standing under the drowsy sky, and after a closer look, it was Ma Shiying, the privy deputy envoy of the Generalissimo's Mansion and director of the General Political Office.

Zhu Youzhen was quite surprised, Ma Shiying has been low-key since he returned to Beijing, making Zhu Youzhen almost forget him.

The Generalissimo's Mansion is in Qianqingmen, and the distance from himself, the emperor, is closer than the distance between the cabinet and his own emperor, and the high-ranking officials on duty in the Generalissimo's Mansion can directly come to the Qianqing Palace to face the saints.

But Ma Shiying rarely came to the Qianqing Palace to do things.

Now it is the first time that Zhu Youzhen has seen him waiting outside, thinking about how when he just arrived in Jiangnan, he was boycotted by the Donglin Party in Jiangnan, and it was all up to Ma Shiying to stand on his side and support him unconditionally, otherwise he would not easily gain a foothold in Jiangnan.

And now he has forgotten only because of the ineffective command of the southwest war, now that he thinks about it, Zhu Youzhen is also a little sorry, after all, it was he who sent Ma Shiying to command the military and government in the southwest, and he also has his own responsibilities, and it is not all because of Ma Shiying's incompetence.

"Why did Aiqing come?"

Zhu Youzhen asked Ma Shiying.

Ma Shiying trembled and prostrate on the ground and bowed to Zhu Youzhen: "Back to Your Majesty, the old minister wants to beg for three months, and the old disease in the southwest recurred yesterday, the imperial doctor means that he needs to raise it for three months, and the old minister thought that June 20 is the death day of Taiyue Gong (Zhang Juzheng), although Taiyue Gong is suspected of shaking the lord, but in the end it is the generation of the public loyal to the country, the old minister only respects the great ambition of Taiyue all his life, and can only hate and powerless to continue the will of Taiyue Gong, and now he can only talk about the regrets in his heart with the ritual of worship. ”

Zhu Youzhen was quite surprised, he didn't expect Ma Shiying to ask for leave from him, and the reason for asking for leave was that he was going to worship Zhang Juzheng!

At this time, he suddenly wanted to worship Zhang Juzheng, and Zhu Youzhen could naturally guess what Ma Shiying meant: "I'm right, I will visit the people for me on the way, and I will allow you to have the right to play secretly, and write everything you see and think on the music!" ”

"Wechen thank Your Majesty!"

Ma Shiying was very moved, and immediately left the Qianqing Palace.

Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but smile: "What a Ma Shiying, he is quite confident in himself!" ”

……

As soon as Ma Shiying got Zhu Youzhen's permission, he left Beijing overnight, and the entire Beijing division knew that Ruan Dayue knew that he was the only one who rushed to see Ma Shiying at this time.

At the ten-mile long pavilion, Ruan Dayue asked very puzzledly: "Seeing that something big is about to be accomplished, what does it mean that you suddenly left Beijing at this time?" ”

"It is precisely because of the great thing that can be accomplished, I have to leave here, the capital is full of people, once the imperial history you instructed is played, we will inevitably not be suspected by His Majesty, and even Li Mingrui will be suspected, and now it depends on who Your Majesty is more willing to use, now it is Li Mingrui, Li Mingrui supports the expansion of the Ming Dynasty, but I don't know what Your Majesty wants most is to have court officials stand up and do what Zhang Jiangling did back then, clear the acres of the world, release 0 tenant serfs to increase the number of free people, why do you and I Ma Shiying suddenly go to worship him Zhang Jiangling, Where is it that I want to worship, and Your Majesty wants to worship him, and even Your Majesty wants to have another Zhang Jiangling, and even wants a Shoufu who is even bolder than Zhang Jiangling, where does Li Mingrui, who is young and unfamiliar with the world, know the secret here, such a person can only be done by me Ma Shiying! ”

After Ma Shiying finished speaking, Ruan Dayue couldn't help but pull Ma Shiying aside: "You're crazy!" You don't know what happened to Zhang Jiangling, although the merit is in the future, but the death is in the dynasty! You have offended the gentry of the whole world! ”

"You and I have been by Your Majesty's side for so long, don't you see that Your Majesty wants to use such officials who dare to go crazy and dare to do things, even if Li Mingrui and Li Banghua grasp this point to rise to the top, they are also ministers with Hu, Chen Chunde and Shen Jiayun have been nesting in the Metropolitan Procuratorate and local governors, what is the reason, isn't it because these two people are not bold enough, besides, it is not the Wanli period, now that business is booming, the owners of the shelter factory are short of people, and you don't know the performance of Song Yingxing, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry. Chongzhen twenty-three years there is still a shortage of more than 5 million people, have to use women and children for child labor, we now do Zhang Jiangling will no longer be to offend all the gentry but to offend some of the traditional scholars who only know how to keep slaves and plough the land, the gentry who want more indentured workers naturally hope that we will release the people controlled by these gentry Ding 0, not to mention that now the gentry in the north are almost all eradicated, and the resistance is not great, I am not doing this now is just to conform to the general trend of the world, Aren't you also taking the initiative to release the maids and slaves in your hometown to make them work? ”

"That being said, Your Majesty can really make you the head of the cabinet because of this, and King Hui's party won't find out your idea?" Ruan Dayue asked.

Ma Shiying couldn't help but pat Ruan Dayue on the shoulder: "It's up to you, you stay in the capital and continue to fight with King Hui and them, and you can find a way to lead the framing of Gao Hongtu to Li Mingrui, or you go to visit Li Mingrui yourself, if Your Majesty really wants to use me, these will be a reason to persuade him to abandon Li Mingrui." As long as I am in charge of the cabinet, the position of the secretary of the military department will be you! ”
