For Liu Daxia, his smartest way is actually to flee at this time with a name that 'can't bear the grievances and disregards the monarch's father. But it's just that Liu Daxia, a person who loves his name and is still a little stubborn, will not make this choice at all...

Maybe he didn't understand, but he just couldn't turn back.

Zhu Houzhao's method, if you want to say whether it is high or not, is actually meaningless. Because who can be admitted to the Jinshi and become such a big official step by step is stupid?

So don't think about deceiving these people, let alone use any conspiracy against Liu Daxia. Zhu Houzhao is making a request, he is the crown prince, and he makes a request to the secretary of the military department, which cannot be refuted no matter how smart he is.

"Da Sima, get up, you're old, it's cold on the ground, don't keep kneeling. You are the secretary of the military department who was selected by your father personally, although Lone is a little annoyed with you because of your father's illness, but this is Lone's own mood, and it has nothing to do with the military department secretary of the imperial court."

The prince motioned to the eunuch on the side and asked him to help the old man up.

Then he rolled his eyes and shouted, "Where is Zhang Mao, the deputy capital of the Inspectorate?"

Then I saw a thin old man with sunken cheeks stand up, "The minister is here."

Zhu Houzhao raised his eyes and looked at this person, "Your name was mentioned by Wang Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials in Gu's ear, and Gu heard that you are an honest official, even if you are a guest at home, you can only wait for the festival to use tribute. This should be true, right?"

"Back to Your Highness, this matter is true, but Your Highness mentioned the shame of the ministers at the time of the court meeting, this is just the duty of the ministers, and it is not enough."

"It's not enough, it's very sufficient. Everyone says that the officials of this dynasty are the thinnest in the past dynasties, hey, but until now, I have only heard of you Zhang Demao (Zhang Mao) such a poor official. To be able to keep the bottom line of integrity, it must also be a righteous character, a person like you, lonely is also to be in awe, the power is on the neck, and you can say whatever you should say with your mouth."

Zhang Mao knelt straight, "Just like the five words that His Highness said before. Lay down one's life for righteousness."

"Okay." Zhu Houzhao happily got up, "It's good to have a stubborn donkey temper like you. Lone now has some questions to ask, you can answer it, you can answer how you want to answer, Lone is not right, right is right. Of course, above the court, all ministers can also speak out impartially. Say whatever you want, and today no one will be cured."

This is what he thinks, to deceive these smart people is to be clever, that is, to promote it with the Great Dao!

"Your Highness, please make it clear."

Zhu Houzhao was not polite, "Reading history books in the Wenhua Palace, there have been soldiers escaping in all dynasties, and the disadvantages of the generals eating empty salaries, the previous rectification of Tengxiang Zuowei in Beijing also had a similar problem, a guard of 5,600 people, and it was found that there were more than 5,000 people after the inventory, but the household department still gave the original salary. This account always has to be calculated. Otherwise, we can't even figure out how many soldiers and horses the Ming Dynasty has, what kind of country will we govern? In short, a problem arises and needs to be solved. Zhang Demao, which part do you say this problem belongs to?"

The old man's voice was loud: "Naturally, it's the military department!"

"Is there any objection?" Zhu Houzhao mainly asked Liu Daxia. ….

He is the secretary of the military department.

"There is no objection from the minister."

"Okay." Zhu Houzhao said: "There are many factors in the emergence of a problem, maybe some soldiers don't want to be soldiers and escape, maybe some soldiers unfortunately go, and the officer in charge hides it and doesn't report it, so he wants to receive an extra piece of dead man's salary, in short, this situation is now such a situation, freezing three feet, not a day's cold, this situation is not caused by Liu Shangshu alone, nor is it caused by the past two years. Lonely...... Is it fair?"

The smart people in the palace secretly began to wipe Liu Daxia's sweat, and they seemed to know what the prince was going to say next.

But the prince is also absolute, and he actually uses people like Zhang Mao,

Zhang Mao doesn't care about your face, my face, the face of the king of heaven is a fart, you can say whatever you want.

"What Your Highness said is fair."

Zhu Houzhao was not in a hurry, he heard someone talking to each other, "If you have different opinions, say it now." Or does someone think it's Liu Shangshu's fault?"

"Your Highness!"

There was really a stunned blue popping up.

Zhu Houzhao looked fixedly, good guy, isn't this Jiao Fang who became a waiter in the Ministry of Works?

Jiao Shilang's words were scorching, "Weichen thinks that the problem of the Ministry of War is naturally the problem of the Ministry of War, and Da Sima is in charge of the Ministry of War, and if there is a problem, is it not his?" Is it mine? Is it the problem of the other colleagues?"

This guy is also arrogant. Hearing Zhu Houzhao say that, he thought it was a signal of attack.

But Zhu Houzhao will not be so rude, uncultivated and lacking in level, he raised his arm and pressed it down, "Lone said, freezing three feet is not a day's cold. Don't charge Da Sima on his head."

The crown prince said this, but Liu Daxia couldn't take it for granted, and he immediately said: "Your Highness, what Jiao Shilang said is good, the problem of the military department is naturally the problem of the minister's book, and the minister asks His Highness to punish him to show true justice."

Zhu Houzhao thought to himself about the beautiful you, I won't hit you even today, I'll lift you up.

Climb high and fall hard.

"Needless to say, the sages and wise men all said that rewards and punishments must not be unfair, how can the problems of decades be counted on you alone?" Zhu Houzhao pointed to everyone present, "The country has reached this point, not only the Ministry of War, but also the Ministry of Households, Officials, and Industry...... Which one doesn't have drawbacks? Punished you? Punish them alone?"

As soon as he said this, the other ministers felt a strong sense of empathy, even if it was not a book, he was always responsible for it in his own hands, if he could get such a sentence from the prince, if something went wrong in the future, it would be an iron ticket to avoid death.

On the contrary, if Liu Daxia is disposed of for this reason, then it depends on the mood of the prince whether everyone here is disposed of or not.

Which one to choose?

So as soon as this remark came out, some officials came out to refute Jiao Fang, anyway, he has a bad reputation, and it doesn't matter if he sprays him a few times.

"The minister thinks that what His Highness said is reasonable! Why should Jiao Shilang be unforgiving? His Royal Highness has said that freezing three feet is not a day's cold, so it is very fair to deal with it like this! That's why I show the mind of the prince of Daming!" ….

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

……

Good.

Zhu Houzhao smiled and nodded, "Okay, it's okay, since it's fair, in short, I don't want to investigate the causes of these malpractices." However, the problem has already arisen, Lone is the crown prince, you are all ministers of the imperial court, who can watch this problem not be solved?"

Li Dongyang sighed secretly, sure enough.

But if you want to solve this problem, you can't do it even if you skin Liu Daxia.

But the prince's posture is too sufficient, too thick, as a secretary of the military department, there is a problem with your own mess, I don't trouble you, it's okay, now as this official, you have to do this, right?

And aren't you a loyal servant? What is a loyal minister? You won't be afraid of death because you can't do it, right?

Above the court, there was silence again.

Zhu Houzhao shouted, "Speak! Do you want to fix it?!"

This......

Now that I want to say it, I want to step on Liu Daxia's body again. But who can say no at this time?

There is such a thing as moral public opinion, which cannot always be used by them to restrict the emperor, but also put on them!

Talk to me about serving the country and the people, growing up under the red flag of labor and capital, I really want to serve the country and the people, are these people sincere?

Zhu Houzhao looked at the uproar and softness of the voice, which made him very dissatisfied.

"The cabinet said first, do you want to solve the problem of empty salaries?"

Li Dongyang and Liu Daxia's personal friendship is still good, but at this time, what can he say?

Fortunately, Liu Daxia is also a proud person,

He himself came out to receive the will, "Your Highness doesn't need to ask anymore, Your Highness has a revolutionary cause

Dingxin's meaning, how can a courtier be reasonable? I would like to take this mission!"

No way!

In this way, it makes you look like a hero who sees death as if he were at home.

Zhu Houzhao must let the other ministers speak, everyone is a scholar, and they don't leave a word, but they must leave a word. Otherwise, in the future, if someone puts a hat on the prince, how can he justify that he deliberately made things difficult?

So now these people have to take a stand!

He'd suffered similar losses before. It must be stated that when the day it is disposed of, it will not be the prince who forced Liu Daxia to do such a difficult thing, but the courtiers agreed.

"Da Sima is loyal to the country, and of course he sees it in his eyes. However, Da Sima also told his father that major matters in the court should be discussed with his courtiers."

"Lone, this is a discussion." Zhu Houzhao squinted, and then reluctantly raised his voice, "Elder Liu Ge! Do you want to get rid of this drawback?!"

Liu Jian didn't say a word until now, he originally wanted to be a loach and continue to slide over. But the prince asked him to reply by name, but he couldn't help it, and said, "Weichen thinks that it seems that this accumulation of shortcomings needs to be solved in the long run."

I want to be an old fox again.

"Lone didn't ask you how to solve it, Lone asked if you wanted to solve it. Of course, Lone knows that he has to think in the long run, but the question is whether the imperial court needs to make this determination to get rid of this evil."

Liu Jian thought to himself, I have done my duty, "Yes."

"Elder Li Ge?"

"When it comes to the issue of military salaries, it seems that the household department should negotiate and deal with it together?"

It's hard. These individuals are really called the protection of officials and officials.

"Elder Li Ge, don't let Gu repeat his words."

「…… Yes."

"Elder Liu Ge?"

"Yes."

"Don't call Lone by name, come out and say it yourself. Six Divisions and Nine Divisions?"

Doing a little bit of work with these people can exhaust people to death.

When they were all finished, the prince closed the coffin and said slowly, "Since this is the case, Da Sima will have to work harder. Thinking that the border army in the north was the most important, the Tatars were eyeing each other, and there could be no problem in any case. The military department does not have to attack everywhere, it is better to come step by step, Guyuan, Datong, Yulin, if there are these problems in each town, you clean up one by one, and the silver that is cleared out is lonely, so buy more military rations. Wherever the money is cleared, we will buy military rations, so that no one will think that the court is picking up the money."

"It's better to buy military rations, these soldiers will eat more and have more strength, and your glory and wealth will depend on them! Therefore he will not take it, and no one will be allowed to take it."

"Da Sima, still don't accept the order?" Chen Rong, the eunuch on the side, reminded.

Liu Daxia reacted, knelt down and said, "Minister Liu Daxia takes the order!"

Okay, that's up to him.

Zhu Houzhao doesn't know how much he can do, but if he can be better, he will always be better.

As long as Liu Daxia is weak, he is the weakness of the 'peace faction, in fact, some things can be done, and in the eighteenth year of Hongzhi, the Tatar Koubian is also close at hand.
