"Brother, don't worry, this Xiong Tingbi has a straight temperament, but there is no problem with his ability."

"As for the situation in the song, it should be true, Xiong Tingbi knows that the salary is heavy, and it is a good thing to disarm again."

"As long as we wait for a month later, the Zhejiang soldiers and Sichuan soldiers will go to Liaoshen, and tens of thousands of troops will be disarmed, and the Liaoning salary can also be reduced, which is a good thing......

Zhu Youzhen comforted the good imperial brother, but what the other party wanted to hear was not these, but pointed at Zhu Youzhen and said:

"It's naturally a good thing that Xiong Tingbi and the useless soldiers and horses have been removed, but his move has led to the impeachment of the courtiers, and my brother said, how should I protect him?"

Zhu Youxiao was a little resentful in his words, which is also human nature.

Although Xiong Tingbi is talented, due to his bad temper, there are not many people in the Chu Party to help him speak.

At present, Yao Zongwen and Feng Sanyuan of the Zhejiang Party have impeached him, and there are not many people in the Chu Party who speak for him.

Unless someone is willing to come forward to speak for him at this time, Xiong Tingbi's removal is a sure thing.

It is impossible for Zhu Youzhen to offend his good imperial brother for Xiong Tingbi, and it is impossible for Xiong Tingbi to let the good imperial brother take the blame.

Therefore, he must find a party to speak for Xiong Tingbi, and the status of this party cannot be low.

Thinking about it like this, Zhu Youzhen said:

"I know my brother's words, I can ask Yang Lian to come forward for Xiong Tingbi, and then my brother can send someone to Liaodong to investigate whether Xiong Tingbi's words are true."

Zhu Youzhen's dispatch of people in the inspection is naturally impossible to send a person, since he wants to investigate the matter, and the essence of this matter is a party dispute, then the only way to send all parties to investigate.

Zhu Youxiao listened to his words, and felt some comfort in his heart, so he said softly:

"If my brother can call Yang Lian Shangshu, this matter will be much easier, but this Xiong Tingbi's temper is so stubborn, I think I will make waves again in the future."

"It's a good thing to be stubborn, but if you are not stubborn in the right thing, but stubborn in the party struggle, that's a bad thing." Zhu Youzhen responded with a smile, and applauded the royal brother and nodded, indicating that what he said was good.

In the month since he ascended the throne, Zhu Youxiao was accustomed to party struggles and knew that it was impossible to change the Ming Dynasty by relying on this group of people, and only by relying on a few of them capable ministers.

Therefore, he continued to look at the next note, which was also the most troublesome of the three.

After reading it briefly, he handed it to Zhu Youzhen, and Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but have a headache when he saw the content of the song.

[Ministers, Hubu Langzhong Ge Rulin Shangshu, since the fourteenth year of Wanli, the lack of Xuanfu is extremely lacking, and the famine is difficult to wait, and it is said that the Xuanfu is the main guest salary of the Xuanfu ......]

Compared with Xiong Tingbi's recital and Ge Rulin's recital, it is only more than a hundred words, but it is even more of a headache.

Xiong Tingbi's matter is just a party dispute, which was already the norm in the late Ming Dynasty, but Ge Rulin's recital is to ask for real money.

In the song, it tells about the imperial court's arrears to the soldiers and horses of Xuanfu, from the forty-first year of Wanli to the present, a total of eight years, and the arrears are 764,700 taels.

Ge Rulin said in his recital that if there is a fierce man who responds to every call, then the rebellion of the soldiers and horses of Xuanfu is close at hand.

This is a bit serious, but it is true.

There are more than 80,000 soldiers and horses in Xuanfu, most of which are guards, only a small number of battalion soldiers, and it is this part of the battalion that owes wages, the number of which is in ten battalions, belonging to various places, about 30,000 people.

These more than 30,000 people are soldiers and horses of the Xuanfu recruitment system, but most of them have been paid by the battalion generals.

It is estimated that half of the 764,700 taels of silver will be eaten by the side generals after they are distributed.

To send or not to send it becomes a question.

However, this matter is not difficult for Zhu Youzhen.

"Pay!" Zhu Youzhen raised his head and said to Zhu Youxiao:

"The battalion soldiers of this Xuanfu naturally have to be paid, but they can't have gray hair."

"With more than 30,000 soldiers, how much vacancies there are, we have to figure it out."

"Therefore, the younger brother thinks that he can first inform the battalion soldiers of the 10th battalion of Xuanfu, only saying that the road is difficult in winter, and the military salary will be paid together in the next year, so as to appease the people."

"What about Ming Sui?" Zhu Youxiao looked at Zhu Youzhen and relied on him very much in military affairs.

"Tomorrow?" Zhu Youzhen smiled evilly:

"If you are next year, your brother will take the soldiers and horses of the imperial horse supervisor to Xuanfu to pay the imperial brother......"

The words made Zhu Youxiao's eyes squint and he realized the meaning of Zhu Youxiao's words.

Even if the number of Imperial Horse Supervisors is only now, there are more than 4,000 people, and the ten battalions of Xuanfu belong to different stations, so in a one-on-one situation, it can completely crush the battalions in one place.

Zhu Youzhen personally took more than 4,000 people to escort the salaries and salaries, first of all, they would not embezzle the salaries and could directly distribute them to the Xuanfu battalion soldiers.

Secondly, Zhu Youzhen will take the men and horses to pay the soldiers and horses of the ten battalions in person, as long as there is a vacancy, then the leading generals will only have a dead end.

When the time comes, not only can you save money, but you can also kill the generals and steal the house to get the silver.

No matter how you look at it, this is a good thing.

The only thing that makes people afraid is that Zhu Youzhen led the troops.

In case Zhu Youzhen rebelled, then it would only be one hundred and twenty miles from Changping to the capital, and one day and night would be able to reach the foot of the capital.

If it were another emperor, he might be worried about whether the prince would rebel, but Zhu Youxiao was not afraid.

In his heart, if his younger brother wants to grab the throne, the palace transfer case can be successful that night, and there is no need to bother much.

He only thought that his younger brother went out for his brother and helped his brother do something that was a headache.

But......

"If that's the case, I'm afraid my brother will be impeached again, and those civil officials won't have anything good to say."

Zhu Youxiao was a little sad between his eyebrows, and he didn't want his younger brother to be involved in the party struggle, but in the face of his worries, Zhu Youzhen smiled and said:

"Impeachment is impeachment, do things for my brother, as long as my brother doesn't punish me, then who can punish me?"

"Hehe, that's true." Zhu Youxiao was amused by him, so he raised his hand and patted him and said:

"My brother is very confident in the soldiers and horses under his command."

"Didn't I say that?" Zhu Youzhen said seriously: "If you want to train the army, you want to protect your brother and let your brother sit on the throne with peace of mind." ”

"If anyone dares to rebel, I will lead my troops to pacify him!"

"Good!" Hearing this, Zhu Youxiao was a little relieved and said:

"In the future, when I sit in the palace, I will ask my younger brother to be my general."

"Uh... Hehe..."When Zhu Youzhen heard this, he always felt weird, and remembered a certain stalk in his previous life.

What Yongle the Great? It's just my general of the expedition to the north......

It would have been easier for me to become a general this time...... Zhu Youzhen sighed, then got up and said:

"It's almost time to rest, I'll go to practice riding and archery first, and my brother will deal with the music first, and then get on the horse after resting."

"Go ahead, let's go, I'll have someone get lunch, and I'll be able to eat it when I'm done." Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and motioned for Zhu Youzhen to go quickly and don't sneer in front of him.

Seeing this, Zhu Youzhen smiled and didn't say anything, turned over and got on the foal, sat down, and then took a bow and arrow, and started riding and shooting in the square at the left gate.

He is riding and shooting, and the good royal brother is dealing with the sparseness, and the two of them are playing and working alone, which has really become a "combination of work and rest".

It's just that this combination of work and rest has been occupied by Zhu Youzhen, and the hardships have been suffered by Zhu Youxiao......
