The first cut of the law change presided over by Wang Yangming was cut to the heads of the three major battalions of the Beijing Division, the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled were dismissed, and the scum in the army was cleaned up.

And this knife undoubtedly cut a piece of meat on the body of a group of nobles, making a group of nobles grin in pain, the three major battalions of the Beijing Division have always been their own land, after the abolition and reorganization, how can they eat empty salaries and drink the blood of soldiers.

Xun Gui, headed by Cheng Guogong, blew up the pot when he arrived, and all scolded Zhu Houzhao for being unkind and righteous, their ancestors followed Zhu Di to fight the world, born and died, and died nine times in exchange for today's wealth, Zhu Houzhao said that he would withdraw, which is too immoral!

Unloading the mill and killing the donkey is nothing more than ingratitude.

They approached the British public Zhang Mao, hoping that the British public would persuade Zhu Houzhao that it was okay to do things, but they should also take into account the feelings of their old ministers of the Zhu family.

The reason why I looked for the British Duke Zhang Mao was because Zhu Houzhao was able to take the British Duke and made great efforts, and Zhu Houzhao also respected the British Duke a lot, unlike them, Zhu Houzhao didn't take them seriously at all.

"Old minister Zhang Mao, meet Your Majesty."

The British duke entered the leopard room to see Zhu Houzhao, he didn't want to come, but he had to come.

"Old man, please."

Zhu Houzhao personally helped up Zhang Mao, who was already in his prime, and ordered Liu Jin to bring a chair and let Zhang Mao sit down and talk.

Among the nobles of the Ming Dynasty, the most powerful is the Xu family, a family of two countries, with a prominent crown of the government and the opposition, but the most trusted by the emperor of the Zhu family has to be the British public Zhang family.

From Zhang Yu, the fierce general of the Battle of Jingjing, to the generation of British Gong Zhang Fu, and now to the British Gong Zhang Mao, all of them are loyal to the emperor and have won the emperor's trust.

The Zhu family, the Zhang family, as early as the Yongle Dynasty, did not distinguish each other, the Manchu Dynasty was civil and military, and anyone could betray the Ming Dynasty, but the Zhang family would not, which is also why Zhu Hou couldn't take care of those nobles who ate and waited for death, but only paid respect to the British Duke Zhang Mao.

The Zhang family is naturally his diehard.

They sat down, neither the British public Zhang Mao nor Zhu Houzhao spoke, they were very clear about the reason for this meeting, and if they didn't say anything, the matter would not be resolved, and if they did, it would damage their relationship with each other.

"Your Majesty, grow up!"

Zhang Mao was the first to speak, in an elder tone, including sighs, sighs, and joy, who would have thought that Zhu Houzhao, who had no foundation in the court at the beginning, could now overwhelm all forces!

Zhu Houzhao didn't mind Zhang Mao's tone, and said with a smile: "People will always grow, and if they stop moving, they will only perish." ”

Zhang Mao was slightly stunned and smiled bitterly, Zhu Houzhao has not only grown, but has grown to an unimaginable point, overwhelming the government and the opposition, and has a heroic style of eternal happiness.

"The old prince should not have come to see me!"

Zhu Houzhao said with a smile.

"Sure enough, I can't hide anything from Your Majesty."

Zhang Mao sighed and said, "Your Majesty, is there no room for maneuver?" ”

Zhu Houzhao did not answer Zhang Mao, but pointed to the blue sky outside the hall, and said: "How does the old prince think that today's world is compared to Hongwu, Yongle, and Xuande?" ”

"I want to hear the old man tell me the truth."

Zhang Mao didn't understand why Zhu Houzhao asked this, but he still told the truth: "It's slightly inferior." ”

Although the three dynasties of Hongwu, Yongle and Xuande still have foreign enemies attacking, there are not many domestic problems, at best, it is just a power struggle in the court.

For example, the Huaixi Party and the Huaidong Party at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the princeling party and the Han King Party in the Yongle period, no matter how fierce the troubles were, they were limited to the court and had not yet spread to all walks of life.

Nowadays, the army guards are corrupted, those who eat empty salaries, and those who drink the blood of soldiers are innumerable, and it is not uncommon for officials in the court to crowd out military attachés, make money wantonly, eat, drink and have fun, only care about promotion and wealth, regardless of the political affairs of the imperial court, and there is a faint tendency to become one with local rich businessmen and magnates.

Xungui, the vassal king, is all a moth, enclosing land to make money, full of tricks, doing things, but no one is capable.

In the Zhengde Dynasty, the external troubles were almost swept away, the northern grasslands, the southwest borderlands, did not pose a threat, the real threat to the Ming Dynasty was the vassal kings, nobles, gentry, civil officials, do not clean up these black sheep, bloodsucking moths, sooner or later the Ming Dynasty has to go back to the old way.

"Is it really just slightly inferior?"

Zhu Houzhao sneered and said: "I won't say much else, let's talk about the three major battalions, during the Yongle period, the three battalions followed Emperor Taizong, five expeditions to Mobei, and the outside of the Weizhen Fortress, during the Xuande period, the three major battalions followed Emperor Xuanzong to conquer Mahamu, and they were always invincible and invincible. ”

"But what about the three major battalions today, either they are old, weak, sick and disabled, or they are scum in the army who eat empty pay and drink the blood of soldiers, old man, can the three battalions still go to the battlefield?"

In a word, he asked Zhang Mao, the three battalions are not only the elite of the elite established by Zhu Di, but also the glory that the Zhang family is proud of, he knows the situation of the three battalions, but he has no face to say it.

"I know the old man's intentions, so I ask the old man to go back and tell those fools that don't cause trouble for me, otherwise I won't be ruthless."

Speaking of which, Zhu Houzhao had a direct showdown, and the three major battalions must be abolished and rectified, and it is useless for anyone to come.

"Your Majesty, they all follow Emperor Taizu, and after Emperor Taizong laid the merits of the Ming Dynasty, let them save some face!"

Zhang Mao pleaded, as a member of the Xungui group, he couldn't bear to see Cheng Guogong and those people planted in Zhu Houzhao's hands.

Other emperors may be tolerant of Xungui, but Zhang Mao, who supports Zhu Houzhao's ascendancy, understands very well that there will be no forgiveness and tolerance in Zhu Houzhao's eyes, and his personality is more inclined to Emperor Taizu Hongwu, and there is no room for a little sand in his eyes.

Those who follow me prosper, and those who oppose me die!

"I save face for them, whoever saves face for me, who doesn't have millions of taels of silver in their homes, and who doesn't have a large area of land, I have been very tolerant of them, and they are constantly provoking me and provoking the bottom line of the imperial court."

Zhu Houzhao picked up an account book from the table on the side and handed it to the British Duke Zhang Mao, all the records on it were the illegal deeds of the nobles, seizing other people's land, selling salt, iron, tea and horses, and killing innocent people......

All the dirty things that the nobles have done, no matter how big or small the things are, are extremely clearly remembered, many things, Zhu Houzhao is not unaware, but he is enduring it, waiting for an opportunity to wipe out the Xungui group.

"This, this, this ......"

Zhang Mao's shocked speech was not good, not only shocked by the audacity of the nobles, but also shocked by Zhu Houzhao's means, such a thick account book, I am afraid that it has been prepared for a long time!

Even if there is no matter of the three major battalions, and no nobles dare to touch Zhu Houzhao's brows, one day, Zhu Houzhao will find a reason to destroy the nobles who committed the crime!

The Xungui Group, the Gentry Group, the Civil Official Group, and the Vassal King Xungui are the four moths that lie on the body of Daming and suck blood madly, Zhu Houzhao must get rid of them, the Gentry Group, and the Civil Official Group have been suppressed by successive overturns, and it is no longer possible to become a climate, and now it is the turn of the Xungui Group and the Vassal King Group.
