Chapter Forty-Nine: Dongchang is not afraid of offending people

Li Banghua was in Beijing for the past two days, almost living in the barracks, and rarely left except for the last dynasty.

At this moment, he did not directly start to let the soldiers start training, but counted the number of remaining soldiers, and recompiled their list and details into the book.

In this way, those who are not qualified in age and whose status is not up to standard will be able to rely on this military register and be directly and uniformly discharged.

However, this is a cumbersome matter, and because most of the people in the Beijing camp are yin and yang, when doing these things, Li Banghua needs to send people to verify them all the time.

Therefore, this matter cannot be rectified in two or three days.

When Li Banghua, who was sorting out the roster, was suddenly full of surprise after seeing Cao Huachun.

It has been three years since Cao Huachun returned to his hometown, and according to common sense, unless there is something important that he needs to do, he basically has no possibility of making a comeback.

Why did he suddenly recover at this time, and he also re-assumed the position of Dongchang Gonggong?

"I've seen Master Li."

With Cao Huachun's status and the particularity of his identity, he can not pretend to be in the face of hundreds of officials, even when facing the first assistant Zhou Yanru.

However, when facing Li Banghua at this time, he took the initiative to salute Li Banghua.

Looking at Cao Huachun, who took the initiative to salute, Li Banghua felt a little flattered, and said politely: "Father-in-law Cao is polite, I haven't seen you for a few years, but Father-in-law Cao seems to be more and more energetic." ”

"Long live the Lord is compassionate, let the old slave go home to recuperate for a few years, don't take care of things, and the spirit will naturally be better."

Cao Huachun responded with a smile: "It's that Master Li has worked hard in the past few years, and he has to worry about big and small affairs, but he looks much older than back then." ”

"Eat the king's luck, share worries for the king, and don't talk about any hard work."

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and after Cao Huachun sat down, because there were many affairs in the Beijing camp, Li Banghua was still in a hurry to deal with them, so he didn't have much heart to chat with Cao Huachun, and directly asked about Cao Huachun's intentions.

"Gonggong Cao has just taken over Dongchang, it stands to reason that he should be busy with affairs, how can he have time to come to this official, is there any will of His Majesty?"

"Long Live Lord doesn't have any will, but our family is really here this time because of Long Live Lord."

Cao Huachun looked at Li Banghua and said, "Long live Lord is worried that Lord Li will encounter some resistance in rectifying the Beijing camp, so he asked our family to come over and help Lord Li solve some troubles. ”

"Some things that are inconvenient for Master Li to do and difficult to do, just leave them to our family."

"Huh?"

When Li Banghua heard this, he didn't quite understand what Cao Huachun meant, so he immediately asked: "What does Gonggong Cao mean when he says that it is inconvenient to do and what is not easy to do?" ”

Cao Huachun couldn't help but laugh when he heard Li Banghua's question, and then after a while, he said softly: "The Beijing camp is controlled by Xungui, and it has long been tied to their interests over the years, and now that Lord Li wants to move their interests, how can they sit still and wait for death." ”

"I heard that the day before Lord Li rectified the Beijing camp, many officials urgently transferred the soldiers away."

"And not only that, when Lord Li reorganized the Beijing camp in the past few days, the people below were also in disobedience, and they were secretly working against Lord Li everywhere, so that Lord Li's progress was slow, I don't know if what our family said is right?"

After hearing what Cao Huachun said, Li Banghua was silent for a moment and did not speak, obviously acquiescing to what Cao Huachun said.

Seeing Li Banghua's reaction, Cao Huachun sighed, and then said: "Lord Li is the pillar of the country and a person who wants to do great things. ”

"Long live Lord means that it is good for Lord Li to concentrate on rectifying the Beijing camp, and this kind of offending thing, Lord Li should not do it, so as not to be attacked in the court in the future."

"So these things will be left to our family, and I will ...... Don't be afraid to offend people. ”

"Let Dongchang do these things?"

Li Banghua's expression was a little uncertain, he looked at Cao Huachun, and asked with some hesitation: "If Dongchang does this, I don't know how far Grandpa Cao is going to go?" ”

"Long live the Lord means...... Once. ”

Cao Huachun's smile was still warm, but the few words that came out of his mouth made Li Banghua shudder a little.

What do you mean once and for all? How far does it take to be considered once and for all? What will happen to the dignitaries and officials who are involved......

Looking at the silent Li Banghua, Cao Huachun could probably guess what he was thinking, so he explained softly: "A few days ago, I just copied the house of Guozhang Zhou Kui, and copied out 800,000 taels of silver. ”

"There is no problem with using this money to serve as the military salary of the Beijing camp in a short period of time."

"But I'm short of money everywhere now, and this money is obviously not enough."

"But I don't only have a nobleman in the Ming Dynasty, but also Xiangcheng Bo, Chengguo Gong, Dingguo Gong......"

"Long live the Lord wants to know, how many silver taels have been embezzled by the imperial court over the years of these nobles who have been passed down for hundreds of years."

After Li Banghua heard Cao Huachun finish speaking, the whole person froze in place, and it took a long time to react.

Cao Huachun's meaning in and out of his words is obviously to say that Chongzhen is going to attack these noble groups that share weal and woe with the Ming Dynasty.

Chongzhen wants to attack Xungui, Li Banghua does not object, the people Cao Huachun said just now are the most deeply implicated in the Beijing camp, during this time to hinder him from rectifying the Beijing camp, and most of the people who have neglected him in the court have also been signaled by these people, so if there is no them, the rectification of the Beijing camp will immediately lose most of the obstacles.

However, Xungui is deeply rooted and deeply entangled with Daming, and he is worried that Chongzhen will not be able to grasp the degree of this, and then it will be troublesome if a good thing becomes a bad thing.

And most importantly, when did Chongzhen have this courage? In the past, even if others wanted to move Xungui, he was biased in every way, how could he take the initiative to fight Xungui's idea now?

In addition, there is another point that Chongzhen handed over the matter to the East Factory to deal with, so it is inevitable to give power to the East Factory.

Although Li Banghua has a little understanding of Cao Huachun's character, he feels that he will not do anything to harm the country and the people like Wei Zhongxian.

But the problem is that what he understands is the current Cao Huachun, if the power of Dongchang swells to the extreme in the future, at that time, what will become of Cao Huachun, who is in power, he is not sure at all.

So Li Banghua was very worried that Cao Huachun's Dongchang would become the second eunuch.

If this is the case, then even if those nobles are defeated, it will only usher in a second, more ferocious tiger wolf.

Therefore, Li Banghua's heart was full of thoughts and worries, but he didn't know where to start for a while.
