The first wind and rain drifted away

If you have a chance, others will have no chance or one less chance.

The struggle for power was originally a cruel game of life and death.

Zhang Zhiji, as the heir of the British duke, naturally understands this.

Not to mention anything else, a feeling surged in his heart that Zhu Chunchen, the Duke of Chengguo, was afraid that it was dangerous!

I don't have good bones, I believe the emperor knows.

But under such circumstances, the emperor still let himself take on the position of governor of Beijing, which shows that Zhu Chunchen has been completely abandoned by the emperor.

Now, it's up to the emperor to deal with it.

"With the help of the British Princess, I believe that the reorganization of the Beijing camp will definitely succeed."

Emperor Chongzhen personally helped him up to express his attention and satisfaction with him.

At the same time, he asked Cao Huachun to be called, and such a good thing must be promoted.

With four granges and more than 100,000 acres of fertile land, how many families and how many people can be fed?

In particular, the British public donation in person, what this means is self-explanatory.

This benchmark, this example, must be set.

What does it mean to be related to the country?

That's it.

The land, Emperor Chongzhen accepted, this is the foundation of the country, not negotiable.

As for the salt introduction, Emperor Chongzhen did not ask for it, and returned it to the British duke.

People have a high profile, and they can't be petty.

Besides, there are thousands of people in the British government, large and small, and the expenses are not small.

In return, the first person to support my work must be treated preferentially.

"Thank you for the emperor's love!"

Emperor Chongzhen's approach was something Zhang Zhiji didn't expect before he came.

Publishing the newspapers to publicize the benevolence and righteousness of the Zhang family will undoubtedly give the entire British government a huge prestige among the people and be praised.

Of course, this may also offend some noble families and cause them to be jealous and resentful.

But what does it matter?

Politics does not tolerate speculation, this is the ancestral precept of Zhang Fu, and it is also the truth he taught his son.

"Today's opportunity is rare, it just so happens that the two Aiqing are here, I have something I want to discuss with you?"

In such a harmonious atmosphere, Emperor Chongzhen took the opportunity to raise a question that had been hidden in his heart for a long time.

"Your Majesty, please command?"

After watching the drama for a long time, he asked energetically.

Through today's events, he found that Emperor Chongzhen's statecraft became more and more skillful.

Especially in the grasp of people's hearts, it is not the same as the past.

More practical.

"In the process of reorganizing the Beijing camp, I found that there were big problems in the existing imperial court system in the appointment and dismissal of military generals.

The power to promote, appoint and dismiss officials rests with the officials, and I feel that it is inappropriate and must be changed. ”

Emperor Chongzhen said it very indifferently, but it was very informative and involved a lot of issues.

As soon as these words came out, Wen Traitor and Zhang Zhiji were shocked, and the promotion and dismissal of officials were not placed in the ministry, so where was it?

"The emperor wants the military department to be fully responsible?"

Wen Ranxiang was still thinking about it, and Zhang Zhiji had already asked what was in his heart.

"It's not!" Emperor Chongzhen smiled and shook his head, looking at Wen Adulterous.

"It's the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies!"

Wen Traitor said the correct answer in the blink of an eye.

He already understood what Emperor Chongzhen meant.

Improving the status of military generals has always been something the emperor has been doing, and now, it is directly in one step.

Moreover, the emperor and general were in full control of the military.

The military will be crushed by civilian officials, and a large part of the reason is that the official hat is in the hands of civilian officials.

The officials are in charge of the promotion of the military in the world, and the generals have no channels of their own, how can they not be crushed?

Similarly, the military department is also mostly civilian, and the future is in the hands of others, so it is strange that military generals can hold their heads up.

The promotion is decided by the civilian officials, and it is inevitable that the military generals will tie up with the civilian officials.

Now the emperor has directly placed the appointment of military generals in the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, which is giving the Governor's Office of the Five Armies the personnel power.

The Governor's Office of the Five Armies is a department directly responsible to the emperor, which means that the emperor has mastered the military power.

"Wen Aiqing still knows what I mean!"

Emperor Chongzhen nodded, praised a gentle and treacherous appearance, and then said to the stunned Zhang Zhiji:

"Yes, I want to set up a merit examination department and a military selection department under the Governor's Mansion of the five armies, the merit examination department is responsible for the examination and teaching of the merits of military generals, and the military selection department is responsible for the promotion of generals.

What does the British public think? ”

"The emperor is wise, it should have been like this a long time ago!"

What else, naturally!

Zhang Zhiji will not agree unless his head is in water.

With the power to appoint military generals, the status of the Governor's Office of the Five Armies was naturally greatly improved, and as the Governor of Jingying, who was in charge of the Governor's Office of the Five Armies, his authority was unlimited.

Moreover, this is the real equal emphasis on civil and military affairs.

However, he is worried about whether it will be implemented.

The generals want to get back their own promotion channels and take their fate into their own hands, and some people have already proposed it.

But they were all rejected by civilian officials.

If the emperor can do this, I believe that all the generals of the Ming Dynasty will support the emperor.

"What does Wen Aiqing think?"

Emperor Chongzhen turned his head and asked Wen Adulterous.

This matter, to be honest, really needs his help to suppress the voice of civil officials.

If you can, you won't kill it, and there's no harm in being peaceful.

However, this matter must be done.

A military general at the same level wants to kowtow when he sees a civilian official, isn't this a broken backbone?

An army with a broken backbone, you want to count on them to win the battle, it's not ordinary!

If you want an army that is like an arm, you must take back this power, so as not to make the generals inferior.

Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen has been planning this for a long time, and now is the best time.

"The cabinet minister thinks so! As long as the Ministry of War agrees, it will be done. ”

The emperor's words, the gentle and traitorous minister has never refused.

Of course, it is useless to refuse.

It's easy for the emperor to change a first assistant.

Especially him, the entire Donglin Party hated him to the core.

However, this matter is related to the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Officials, the Military Selection Department is the Ministry of War, and the Department of Examination of Merit is the Ministry of Officials.

There is no problem with the officials, Min Hongxue was pulled up by him and is very obedient.

And Sun Chengzong of the Ministry of War needs to communicate by himself.

If it doesn't work, then the emperor and his old man will have to go out.

He has always done things without leaks, so say it in advance.

"If you don't agree, you have to say yes!"

Emperor Chongzhen sighed twice, making the neck of the treacherous minister cold.

However, the British Gongzhang Zhiji has not had contact with Emperor Chongzhen recently, and he doesn't understand what he means.

However, he soon understood what he meant.

Because, Emperor Chongzhen asked people to call Lao Wang.

"Let people stare at the capital, if someone makes trouble in series, Dongchang doesn't have to scruple and arrests people directly!"

Emperor Chongzhen glanced at the old king who came in a hurry, and instructed indifferently.

This will is mainly aimed at the nobles of the capital, and today the British public came to greet the New Year with a heavy gift, coupled with the publicity of the Ming Royal Weekly, I believe that it will soon spread throughout the noble circle.

So the question is, what should these nobles do?

Emperor Chongzhen didn't know their reaction, so naturally he had to take precautions first.

"The old slave obeys!"

Lao Wang hurriedly agreed.

"Send someone to meet Xinlehou, there have been many rights and wrongs in the capital recently, let him guard the door, restrain the children in the house, and reduce his dealings with other people.

If the children in the house are talented, they should arrange to study in the country. After the New Year, let him take his family to Fengyang to guard the ancestral tomb for me for a year. ”

Seeing the emperor's arrangement, Lao Wang suddenly realized that the emperor was going to make up his mind to rectify the nobles in the capital.

Therefore, he sent his foreign family away first, so as not to be implicated in any case.

He said yes again and again, thinking in his heart about how to point out the powerful relationship to Xin Lehou, lest this person he ignorant fall into the evil deeds of others.

"Also, the people who are staring at the Military Selection Division and the Election Division, and the people from the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of War are also staring at them.

Who wants to make trouble, find out the evidence of their crimes, and go to prison! ”

Here, the traitorous minister has not yet communicated with Min Hongxue, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, and Sun Chengzong, the secretary of the Ministry of War, but Emperor Chongzhen is already ready to start.

"The old slave understands!"

Lao Wang came softly and left gently.

But this made Zhang Zhiji see the changes in Emperor Chongzhen, in the past, the emperor was not like this.

He pays attention to being famous, upright, benevolent, righteous and moral, and ......

But now, the emperor doesn't pay attention to it.

The exquisite emperor can't do anything, because no one will listen to him.

The emperor who is not particular about it can do things, because the knife is on the neck.

British Gong Zhang Zhiji was very glad that he had made a wise move to maintain the same heart with the emperor, and at the same time kept the wealth of the Zhang family.

Coming to the palace today is undoubtedly the most correct decision in his life.

What he didn't know was that he wasn't the only one making the right decision.

Today's palace also has a special guest.

It's just that he didn't pay New Year's greetings to Emperor Chongzhen, but he paid New Year's greetings to Tian Guifei.
