"It's better to be in Xiyuan, it's much more comfortable than staying in the palace." Standing by the lake, looking at the lake and mountains, and feeling the coolness of the spleen, Zhu Youzhen groaned comfortably. In the previous life, he was the emperor for seventeen years, and this West Garden was close at hand, and he had never come here to relax and have fun.

"Emperor..."Cao Huachun hesitated.

"If you have something to say, say it." Zhu Youzhen glanced at him and said lightly.

Cao Huachun said: "The emperor has just expelled the Hakka clan, but the Hakka clan is really the opposite food of the factory father, and the slave maid is really a little worried......

"Hehe," Zhu Youzhen chuckled, knowing what Cao Huachun was thinking. Cao Huachun was not worried about Wei Zhongxian at all, but wanted to take the opportunity to give Wei Zhongxian eye medicine, so as to rush Wei Zhongxian to step down as soon as possible.

"You are from the Mansion, naturally you are the person I trust the most, don't worry for the time being, it's just a day earlier and a day later."

"The slave understands." Cao Huachun was overjoyed and hurriedly said.

"These days, you keep an eye on the palace and see if those people can be used. You don't have to be too clever, and the most important thing is to be loyal to me. By the way, the Wang Chengen next to the imperial sister-in-law is not bad, he has eyes and loyalty, and he can be transferred to my side. Zhu Youzhen commanded.

Soon, there will be a round of purges in the palace, and Zhu Youzhen doesn't want to see that one day when he hangs himself again, there is only one Wang Chengen by his side, which is too fucking desolate.

Hey, why do you say again? Phew, unlucky!

"The slave understands." Cao Huachun respectfully agreed.

When the monarch and the ministers were talking, there was a report from the eunuch guarding the West Garden, and Zhang Shize, the prince of the British Dynasty, arrived.

"Minister Zhang Shize pays a visit to Your Majesty." Zhang Shize ran over quickly, shouting with joy on his face.

Zhang Shize is the eldest son of the British duke, 16 years old this year, and Zhu Youzhen is an old acquaintance.

Before ascending the throne, Zhu Youzhen was just an idle vassal king, and he never thought that the throne would fall on his head. One is an idle vassal king, and the other is the son of a prince, who is almost the same in terms of identity, and has played together many times.

It's just that Zhang Shize doesn't like to read, and his favorite thing is to go to the Qinglou with chickens and dogs, and Boss Chongzhen used to look down on him.

However, when the city of Beijing was captured by thieves in the previous life, Zhang Shize died in battle and martyred the country, and he could be regarded as having rested with the country, and there was still no problem with his loyalty to the Ming Dynasty, and he could use it.

"Do you know what I'm looking for you to do?" Don't let this fight get up, Zhu Youzhen asked directly.

Zhang Shize touched his head and said with a smile: "This minister can't guess." ”

When I was eating in the morning, I heard my father Zhang Zhiji talk about the emperor's release of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military pigeons in the early dynasty, but he didn't expect to be called to Xiyuan by the emperor, and Zhang Shize looked confused. The emperor has so many major state affairs that he does not deal with, and he specially summons himself who does not care about it, is it because he has taken a fancy to his peerless ability to reuse himself? But in addition to fighting cocks better, facing the girl in the Qinglou is braver, he doesn't have any other talents, Zhang Shize thought crankily in his heart.

"What do you think of Jiannu outside the gate?" Zhu Youzhen continued to ask.

Zhang Shize was a little stunned, shouldn't this kind of question be asked to the scholars of the Ministry of War, why did he ask himself.

But the emperor's question could not be answered, Zhang Shize had no choice but to search his intestines and scrape his stomach to show his loyalty: "Jiannu was originally a subordinate of my Ming Dynasty, but he was not loyal to our dynasty and raised troops to make a rebellion, occupying my Liaodong and killing my people, which is really a great crime. If His Majesty grants permission, the minister is willing to lead troops out of the customs to attack Jiannu, recover the lost land and smash Huanglong! ”

Zhu Youzhen smiled: "It seems that you are not completely a waste." In that case, I am ready. ”

"Huh?" Zhang Shize's mouth is wide open, I'm just talking casually, how can I be accurate, do you really want me to lead the troops, aren't you afraid that I will take all the soldiers to the ditch?

"Your Majesty, that, although the minister is not afraid of death, but the minister is young after all, I'm afraid, I'm afraid I'm ......," Zhang Shize said in a hesitant voice.

"Don't be afraid of death!" Zhu Youzhen said, "Why, I still thought that I really asked you to lead the troops to kill Jiannu, just like you, let alone Jiannu, I'm afraid you can't even kill Jiannu women." ”

Zhang Shize breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat on his face and said with a smile, "I'm scared to death of the minister, but Your Majesty, you can't underestimate the minister, the female minister of Jiannu should still be able to do it." ”

Zhang Shize said, with a cheap smile on his face that all men understand.

"You!" Zhu Youzhen was almost angry.

"I'm not joking!" Chongzhen became serious, "I have decided to form the Xiyuan Guard, and I will personally be the general to organize and train the new army, and when the new army is trained, it will be the time for me to conquer the Jiannu, and then I will plow the court and sweep the caves, annihilate the Jiannu in one fell swoop, and recover the land of Liaodong!" Zhang Shize, you are the first soldier I recruited! ”

"Command!" Zhang Shize hurriedly shouted, "The minister is willing to be a pawn for Your Majesty, and lead a horse to fall into the stirrups for Your Majesty." But Your Majesty, you can't let me just be a small soldier, why do you have to give me a thousand households to do. ”

Chongzhen said angrily: "Let's talk about it when you have the ability to lead the troops." Now I order you to find all the people over the age of fifteen and under the age of twenty who have not yet been knighted in the city of Beijing, and everything you know and can find. Go now, I'll give you an hour! ”

"I'll go." Seeing that Zhu Youzhen was playing really, Zhang Shize didn't dare to slack off, and ran away after kowtowing.

This tired look made Zhu Youzhen shake his head slightly.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid these princes are unusable." Cao Huachun couldn't help but remind.

"If you can't use it, you don't have to think about attacking the lord in the future." Zhu Youzhen said lightly.

"These nobles have been hereditary and retired with the country, enjoying the wealth of the Ming Dynasty for more than two hundred years, and should become the pillars of the imperial court. But look at their current appearance, they are all living like pigs, and they only know that lying in the merit book of their ancestors, how can there be a shadow of those heroes who made the founding of the country back then! ”

Cao Huachun sighed and said no more. It is not a day for the nobles to become like this, can they really become talents by catching ducks on the shelves?

Zhu Youzhen didn't say anything more. In fact, if he had a choice, he would not want to use Xungui's son, but at the moment, he really couldn't find anyone else.

In any case, these nobles and the royal family are naturally one, and they will cease to exist after the death of the Ming Dynasty, and from this point of view, they are the natural allies of the royal family. Of course, most of the nobles are not good things, forcibly occupying the people's fields, forcibly buying and selling, and they have done no less such things, and they are the same moths of the Ming Dynasty as the clan.

However, among the three major moths of the Ming Dynasty, the clan, the gentry, and the nobles, the number of nobles is the smallest, and the harm of the nobles is the least, and it is also the best to deal with.

What he is doing is a big thing, it is to create a rebellion against the court and change the lives of all the ruling classes, otherwise, he cannot save the already corrupt and terminally ill Ming Dynasty. Just as the leader and instructor of the Red Army said, it is necessary to make many friends and few enemies, and to distinguish between the main contradiction and the secondary contradiction.

At present, it seems that the nobles are really a secondary contradiction, and they belong to the objects that can be reformed. So Zhu Youzhen decided to give them a chance.

If you can use it, you will be taken under it, and if you can't use it, you will be removed from the knight and swept into the garbage heap of history!
