Shi Heng came out and said: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, the minister thinks that he should stick to the help!" ”

Zhu Di adjusted his sitting posture and said, "Tell me what you think." ”

"As early as before the siege of the Beijing Division, the ministers and Lord Yu spread the word to all over the country, and now the reinforcements must be on the way, although the strength of our army is similar to that of Wara, but after all, we have to guard the entire capital."

"Although our Ming army has a large number of troops and is scattered among the nine gates, it is really stretched, so the minister proposed that His Majesty should allocate the troops of the 26 guards of the pro-army to coordinate the defense of the nine gates."

Zhu Di squeezed his hands and pondered the proposal carefully.

There are twenty-six guards in the pro-army, and twelve of them were set up by the father during the Hongwu period.

During the Yongle years, he added ten.

From the classics, it is known that during the Xuande period, the good saint added four more, collectively known as the Twenty-six Guards of the Son of Heaven's pro-army, also known as the forbidden army.

In addition to the three guards of the martial arts Zhongwei, the left guard of martial arts, and the right guard of martial arts, which belong to the Ministry of Industry, the remaining 23 pro-military guards are directly under the jurisdiction of the Son of Heaven.

The so-called direct jurisdiction of the Son of Heaven means that it does not belong to the Governor's Office of the Five Armies, and the Ministry of War has no right to intervene, and only the emperor can mobilize these forbidden troops.

With the forbidden army in hand, the descendants of future generations will not be at the mercy of civilian officials, and they can push the entire court to start over at any time, which was also Zhu Di's worry back then.

But who would have thought that their old Zhu family would have such a No. 1 god of war-level figure, and all the twenty-six guards and forbidden troops were sent away in the first battle.

Shi Heng is asking these questions now, is he pretending to be confused?

However, Wang Zhi, who had been silent since he entered the cabinet, looked back at Shi Pu, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, with bad intentions after hearing this.

This product is a personal essence, so he naturally understands what Shi Heng is deliberately asking for what kind of calculation he is talking about.

Zhu Di asked: "Didn't the twenty-six guards of the pro-army all follow the Emperor Taishang to destroy in Tumu Fort?" I did intend to send a forbidden army to help defend the city, but I couldn't scatter beans into an army. ”

"Your Majesty is wrong." Shi Heng said with a smile: "There are twenty-six guards of the pro-army, and as far as the minister knows, three guards belong to the Ministry of Industry, and they did not go with them before the battle of civil engineering. ”

"These three guards are all craftsmen, but there are more than 15,000 people, and when the city is defended and employed, they should be removed from the craftsmen's households, registered in the military households, and called these three guards to assist the ministers in defending the city."

Shi Pu, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, has been eating melons these days, and as a member of the six books, he has not mentioned a single opinion, just like Wang Zhi, who has just entered the cabinet.

If he wins, he sits back and enjoys his success, and if he loses, he is already ready to run away with a bucket anyway.

When Shi Heng said this, Shi Pu was stupid all of a sudden.

Eating melons and eating them on your head?

is also surnamed Shi, two hundred years ago it was a family, why the hurry?

Yu Qian smiled.

I thought Shi Heng was an opportunistic martial artist, but I didn't expect to have this kind of brain.

It stands to reason that Yu Qian shouldn't come out to stand in line in this matter, but the problem is that what Shi Heng said is very reasonable, these fifteen thousand people are all young and strong, and if they are kept, they will be kept, so why not take them out to defend the city?

I'm afraid, the Ministry of Industry is unwilling, right?

But anything that is helpful to defend the city, Yu Qian will not go to the Ministry of Labor or the Ministry of Rites, let him stand up and speak at this time, he will not hesitate.

In Yu Qian's heart, the first thing is Da Ming, and then what the emperor and queen mother are, as for what the other courtiers think, he doesn't care at all.

As soon as Shi Heng finished speaking, Yu Qian said: "Your Majesty, the minister agrees with what Mr. Shi said. ”

"Now that the enemy army is besieging the city, all the forces that can be used should be used, and the minister didn't notice the matter of the martial arts three guards before, which is the minister's negligence."

"Now I ask Your Majesty and the Queen Mother to take the overall situation seriously, and summon these three guards to join the military household and help defend the city!"

At this time, Zhu Di was not in a hurry, turned to look at Sun Ruowei and asked, "What does the Queen Mother mean?" I listen to the Queen Mother! ”

Sun Ruowei glared at Zhu Di angrily, thinking that at this time, you know that you are listening to the mourning family, didn't you always come to the mourning family before?

With Sun Ruowei's brain, she would not understand the difference between this simple order.

As soon as she was about to give permission, Shi Pu, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, couldn't stand still, and he was afraid that this old lady would send more than 15,000 craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry to the emperor with a word.

"Queen Mother!"

"The Minister Qi played the Empress Dowager, and said inwardly, the Ministry of Industry is responsible for the repair, increase and decrease of the palaces in the inner court, and externally, the Ministry of Industry is also responsible for the construction and ship affairs of the country."

"The craftsmen of these three guards are really indispensable to the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Industry is understaffed, who will maintain the royal palace? Everywhere in the city, who will repair it? ”

"Please think twice! Your Majesty, please think again! ”

Yu Qian was angry and criticized bitterly: "Dare to ask Lord Shi, is the capital city now used by your Ministry of Industry to repair and maintain it?" Aren't they all defenders of the city to maintain together? ”

"Dare to ask Lord Shi again, is it important to repair the royal palace, or is it important to defend the capital?"

"Could it be that in Lord Shi's heart, the more than one million military and civilian people inside and outside the capital, the temples and ancestral tombs of the Ming Dynasty over the past hundred years, are not as important as the craftsmen of the three guards?"

"Isn't the hundreds of thousands of troops who died in the civil fort deep enough? It's time like this, and Lord Shi is still arguing with me about this little bit of petty profit! ”

Shi Pu prepared a righteous and stern rhetoric, which was equivalent to humbly scolding, and suddenly all of them held back.

Compared with Yu Qian's words, his so-called righteous and strict words are really not worth mentioning, no matter how you say it, it seems to be a strong word.

"You-" Shi Pu didn't have anything to say, he could only point at Yu Qian and reply angrily: "This is in the court, there is the Queen Mother, Your Majesty is here, Yu Qian!" How can you speak so rudely? ”

"Alright, alright." Seeing Shi Pu's face flushed with suffocation, Zhu Di also felt very happy, so he became a peacemaker, raised his hand and said: "Both of them are my ministers, and they are both indispensable ministers of the court to guard the capital. ”

"That's it, I'll be in charge of this matter, after all, no matter what, the craftsmen of the three guards are also pro-military guards, and I still have the right to speak."

Yu Qian stood back: "Let Your Majesty send it!" ”

"Humph!" Shi Pu looked at Yu Qian, and said angrily: "The ministers all listen to Your Majesty!" ”

Zhu Di said: "In view of the words of the two Qing families, I also feel that the shame of Tumubao is the shame of my Ming Dynasty, and it should never be just settled. ”

"In order to win the hearts of the three guards, I was invited by the general soldier of Shi to remove the generations of craftsmen of the three guards, and all of them were classified into the military and incorporated into the vanguard of the government army."

"In this way, the three guards are all my pro-army, and I sent them to support General Shi and Yu Aiqing to defend the city, and they have also changed their names to justice, what do you think of this?"

The avant-garde of the government army?

Shi Pu was still angry, but when he heard the name, he suddenly felt that he could never just agree.

Without waiting for him to reply, Yu Qian stood up again and said: "Your Majesty is concerned about the great cause of defending the city, the minister has nothing to say, and the minister's military department has nothing to say, so he will be incorporated into the avant-garde of the government army!" ”

Shi Heng immediately stood up and said, "As the chief officer of the entire Beijing garrison, the minister also feels that there is nothing wrong with Your Majesty's move, Your Majesty Shengming!" ”
