In autumn, the imperial garden is purple and red, and occasionally there are palace maids dressed in fancy clothes passing by, and many palace maids are still in good shape. Whether people are more beautiful than flowers, or flowers are more beautiful than people, Li Xiao really can't say.

Many palace maids saluted Zhu Youzhen from afar, and quietly raised their eyes. The fucking eyes were watery as if they were hooked. I can see Li Xiao's heart "bang" and "bang" straight accelerate!

Fuck it, no wonder so many emperors are ridiculous. The huge Forbidden City is the only one who can be called a man. It can be described as a seedling in a thousand acres, and the women who are holding back their hair can do anything.

Seducing an emperor is really trivial.

"Huh! People are more delicate than flowers, if Li Qing has a favorite, you can tell me. Seeing Li Xiao's appearance, Zhu Youzhen said to Li Xiao with a smile.

This is a beautiful woman? It seems that the emperor attaches great importance to himself!

"I heard that Li Qing hasn't married yet? You will be twenty years old after the New Year, and you should also think about marriage. If you fancy any of the ladies you like, you can also tell me, and I will call the shots for you. ”

Good leader! Zhu Youzhen is really a fucking good leader!

"The minister already has a room of concubines, and he has no plans to marry for the time being." Li Xiao can only refuse the kindness of this emperor who likes to hold the red rope, the daughter of a big family, can it be? Li Xiao has seen a few, all of them are like Bodhisattvas. If you go there, you won't even bounce your eyeballs.

Who the fuck likes to sleep with a Buddha statue in her arms!

"In the future, if you like it, you can also tell me, I will call the shots for you. Hehe! "Zhu Youzhen's performance is not like a seventeen-year-old emperor. is more like a thirty-seven-year-old emperor, always speaking with a smile, giving people the feeling of a spring breeze.

This kind of person is born to gain the favor of others, and Li Xiao really can't match his feelings with Zhu Youzhen's actual age.

"Long live thanks!" Li Xiao was extremely vigilant, and a voice kept reminding him in his heart that this guy was the emperor. The supreme power of the Ming Empire, he is approachable with you. If you want to be equal, this guy will raise the butcher's knife at the first moment.

Nearest the king nearest the gallows!

"Don't be restrained, I heard that your family was originally a dealer on the imperial village?"

"Oh! Ivory Village at the foot of Wang'er Mountain is an imperial village specializing in rice cultivation. The water and soil on the side of the Liao River are good, and the rice is very delicious. ”

"Oh, I haven't heard of it. Looking at Aiqing's resume, I knew that there was such a Zhuangzi. "Zhu Youzhen is telling the truth, it is estimated that he doesn't even know where Wang'er Mountain is.

The imperial village of Ivory Village is in the remote eastern part of Liaodong, and it is estimated that the chief of Ouchi does not know that there is such a place.

"Since Aiqing was born in Huangzhuang, then I am my own family. My family said their own words, and today our monarchs and ministers will nag what is in their hearts.

You are training a new army in Liaodong, and there has always been a voice in the imperial court. It is said that you are arrogant and lawless, and you seem to have a rebellious heart. He also said that you raised your own dignity, and never took the initiative to attack the Tartars in Liaodong, and relied on Jinzhou to defend the city.

I have only been on the throne for two months, and there are no less than ten letters of order to let me change to a more enterprising general to Liaodong. Now that you are the governor of Shandong, what do you think of the candidates for the general army of Liaodong? ”

Li Xiao's back was a little cold, and he knew that if he didn't answer this question well. If you want to get out of the palace, you have to refine Zhang Wuji's ability in an instant.

"Hooray! It is true that the minister trained the new army in Liaodong, but the new army was only 18,000 people. The Ming Dynasty has millions of soldiers, and there are many generals who have more soldiers than the ministers.

In the bitter cold land of Liaodong, the ground can freeze and crack in winter, and only one strict word can be used to lead troops. Why don't they all run away?

There are some ministers, but when it comes to the misdeeds, the ministers dare not admit it. "It's not a big mistake, it's within the emperor's tolerance. The crime of misdeeds in the garrison cannot be admitted, and if you do, you will be killed immediately.

"Oh! Go on. Zhu Youzhen nodded, agreeing with Li Xiao's statement.

"When it comes to raising self-respect, it's still the same sentence. The soldiers in Guanli were reluctant to go to Liaodong to fight, and there were only 18,000 ministers, but what about the Tartars?

According to the return of the minister's eyeliner, there are more than 73,000 banner soldiers in the Houjin Eight Banners. They are all vicious and stubborn people, and the white pole soldiers and the Qi family army were all capable of fighting back then. On the bank of the Hunhe River, the minister is on the battlefield.

Even if it is such a Ming elite, it can only be annihilated by the whole army in the field. There are only 18,000 ministers, and if they go out to fight with the Tartars, they are looking for death. Banzai said that the minister was his own person, and the minister took Banzai as his own. To put it mildly, it would be good if the minister's current strength could hold Jinzhou.

Last year, the red-haired people came and set up cannons to bombard the Jinzhou city wall. The walls of the southern city were bombarded into powder, if it weren't for the second brother of the minister, who desperately shelled the Tartar rear army. Maybe Jinzhou is now in ruins!

This year was even worse, the Tartar soldiers organized the Eight Banners of the Han Army. The weapons in his hands are also firearms learned from the red-haired people. The sharpness is no worse than that in the hands of the ministers. This winter, if the Tartars fight Jinzhou again, it is really uncertain whether they can hold it. ”

Li Xiao kept Sun Chengzong's words in mind and said how the situation in Liaodong was in crisis. Anyway, Lao Tzu didn't lie, and it is estimated that the information that Jinyiwei gave to the emperor was similar.

"The situation in Liaodong is very worrying! Aiqing is now the governor of Shandong, can you recommend a general who can fight to preside over the military affairs of Liaodong? Zhu Youzhen's expression did not change much, and it seemed that Li Xiao's answer did not surprise him.

"The minister thought that Yuan Chonghuan was bold and careful. Although he is a civil servant, he is brave and unparalleled. Li Xiao did not hesitate at all, and recommended Yuan Chonghuan.

"Oh, I thought you would recommend your brother Li Xiu." Zhu Youzhen was slightly stunned, although it was only a short second, Li Xiao still found out.

It turned out that the pit was here, and Zhu Youzhen guessed that Li Xiao would definitely recommend his younger brother. Instead of Yuan Chonghuan, who was transferred from the Ministry of War, no matter when, his own family will always be more trustworthy than outsiders.

Unexpectedly, Li Xiao didn't even hesitate, and directly said Yuan Chonghuan's name. Could it be ...... Is this Li Xiao really a virtuous man for the country?

"Although the second brother of the minister is also brave in battle, he ......! But after all, he is still young, and he cannot be convinced by this great responsibility. In addition, the minister was a little cautious, and it was not appropriate for the army to be in the hands of a family. If Li Xiu is really recommended, I am afraid that I will receive a lot of bullets here. ”

"Huh! Aiqing thinks a lot, there is no doubt in employing people, and there is no need for suspicious people. For Aiqing, I trust, Li Qing don't think too much. If you don't trust Li Qing, I won't hand over Shandong to you.

Since Li Qing said that Yuan Chonghuan is suitable for the general army of Liaodong, then Yuan Chonghuan is good. After Wei Zhongxian's troubles, he was already overwhelmed.

I want to work hard, but unfortunately there are so many evils in this world, and I have more than enough to do but not enough power. I always thought that there was a powerful minister by my side. Is Li Qing willing to go to Beijing to assist me? Cui Chengxiu's death is not a pity, but the position of the secretary of the military department that can be left behind, I feel that it is none other than Aiqing. ”

Li Xiao's eyes shrank, this is another pit.

gave up the governor of Shandong and came to the capital to be the secretary of the military department. looks like a high promotion, but in fact it has become a tiger raised by Zhu Youzhen in the deaf.

Right under Zhu Youzhen's nose, people don't clean you up as much as they want.

"Hooray! Chen is only nineteen years old this year, and he will only be twenty years old after the New Year. At such an age, he is the secretary of the military department, and his qualifications and prestige are difficult to convince the public. Although there is Ganluo who worships the prime minister at the age of eight, Zhou Gongjin is the governor of the capital at the age of twelve. But that's all a joke, and it can't be true.

You promoted your subordinates to this position, and the generals below must not be convinced that such a young man would command them. The most taboo thing in the army is that the generals are not in harmony, and the ministers have no prestige when fighting, how can they move those generals?

Even if they were to be killed afterwards, the battle would still be lost. Losing a battle is not something that the upper lip touches the lower lip.

From Fushun to Liaoyang, which defeat is not like a mountain of corpses, and the number of terrifying human lives.

At that time, is it the wrong one to use the minister, or is the minister not doing his best? Long live, please take back your fate.

After several years of training in Shandong, he made some achievements and gained some prestige. The minister received the grace of long live again and became a secretary of the military department. At that time, everything fell into place, and the courtiers would not have so much resistance. ”

This pit must not be stepped on! In the Chongzhen Dynasty, the position with the highest mortality rate was the secretary of the military department. Either he was killed by someone else, or he was killed by the sincere emperor in front of him.

From Yuan Chonghuan to Chen Xinjia, Chongzhen worked diligently to kill one military secretary after another. Carefully calculated, in just seventeen years, seven were killed.

That's not all, Sun Chuanting, who sacrificed himself at work.

If you want Lao Tzu to be the secretary of the military department, don't do it! I won't do it even if I kill it!

"Uh......! That's something I owe to think about. Okay, you'll be working hard in Shandong for a few years. I'll leave my Shandong to you!

Ay! It's all Wei Zhongxian's trouble, there are pirates in the south, and I, the Ming Sailor, am not the opponent of the pirates. Since the beginning of this year, the Admiral of Guangzhou has suffered successive defeats.

What about the Southwest? Those barbarian Tusi have been dissatisfied with Wang Hua for four hundred years, and a few years ago there was a Yang Yinglong. Who knows if there will be any Wang Yinglong and Zhang Yinglong in the future.

The land in the northwest is barren and bandits are rampant. According to the military reports from last month, large bandits even dared to attack the officers and soldiers.

Now this is too peaceful, that is, the Central Plains and Jiangnan. Shandong is a large province in the Central Plains, and I entrust it to you, so if you have any requirements, just put it forward. As long as you do a good job in Shandong, this biggest piece of heart disease in my heart can be regarded as gone. ”

The Ming Dynasty has a population of 123 million, and Shandong has a population of 25 million. It is a solid province with a large population, and Zhu Youzhen gave this place to Li Xiao to manage, which is really his trust in Li Xiao.

"The minister must live up to the trust of Long Live the Minister, uh......! The minister wants two people with Banzai. Li Xiao's eyes rolled, he didn't ask for it at this time, and when did he ask for it. Now is a good opportunity to reach out to the emperor, and we can't let it go.

"Oh, whatever you like. Just open your mouth! Zhu Youzhen's eyes touched the crowd of palace maids in the distance, as if he was estimating which one Li Xiao had taken a fancy to. He hasn't forgotten that he just promised to give Li Xiao a few beautiful palace maids.

"Long live Hui! The minister wanted to edict a pair of prisoners in the prison, Cao Wenzhao and Cao Bianjiao's uncle and nephew. "The top prison of the Ming Dynasty, the people in it have to speak to the emperor.

"Oh, Cao Bianjiao, Cao Wenzhao?" Zhu Youzhen tried hard to search for these two names in his mind, but he didn't remember them after thinking about them for a long time.

"Cao Wenzhao was originally a guerrilla attack under Xiong Tingbi, the governor of Liaodong, because Xiong Tingbi's case was implicated. It has been five years since he was imprisoned by the eunuchs, and the minister thought that the crime of defeat that year was not on a mere guerrilla.

In doing so, the eunuchs were covering up their defeat. casually grabbed a person and dealt with the matter, and now Wei Zhongxian is under the law, and all the eunuchs are given the head. Please also long live the chaos and set things right, and rehabilitate the soldiers of Zhongzheng. Bring all the wronged soldiers, thank you for your grace! ”

"Oh, I see. I know about this, if it is really an unjust case created by the eunuchs. Of course I'm going to set things right, oh! Lunch is ready, and I would like to invite you to try the craftsmanship of the Imperial Dining Room. Zhu Youzhen pointed to Wang Chengen, who came from afar, and said with a smile.
