Zhu Qiyu kept silently reciting the words 'let it be' in his heart, and then secretly looked at He Yi and asked for help with his eyes.

In fact, Zhu Qiyu just tried it casually, but Unexpectedly, He Yi actually handed over a military report, and then said: "Your Majesty, according to the latest military report from the south, the Miao people in Huguang are ready to move, and there are signs of rebellion again.

A number of local officials in Huguang have already played and asked the imperial court to send important ministers to preside over the overall situation and take charge of military affairs.

How to decide, please also ask the Holy Majesty to show me. ”

Zhu Qiyu frowned and thought for a long time, and then sighed deeply and asked everyone: "Miao Chao has been repeatedly suppressed, and it has become a problem for the court.

I thought that this time I should send a military secretary to the governor's military affairs, and strive to pacify the Miao rebellion once and for all, what do Zhong Aiqing think? ”

In addition to the four military department scholars, the rest of Chen Xun, Wang Wen and others immediately echoed in unison. Anyway, Chen Xun and the others don't have to go to the south, so everyone is happy to meet their wishes and push the boat smoothly.

Luo Tong and Xu Qi knew that they definitely didn't have to go, so they also agreed.

The emperor's meaning is very clear, the one who goes to guard Huguang is either Wang Ji or Yu Qian.

As Zhu Qiyu's eyes looked at Yu Qian, his intentions were self-evident.

Yu Qian took the initiative to stand up and expressed his willingness to go to Huguang to guard.

Zhu Qiyu nodded with satisfaction, and asked everyone again: "I originally wanted to send Yu Aiqing to temporarily guard Yunnan for the Duke of Qianguo, but now I will be reassigned to Huguang by Aiqing, so who should guard Yunnan?" ”

Although this is an inquiry from everyone, the result is also self-explanatory.

Wang Ji himself was very happy, and hurriedly stood up and took the initiative to ask for help.

From Wang Ji's point of view, this is a real 'beauty difference'.

First, you can stay away from the court's tilt and avoid being completely involved in the battle between the two emperors.

Second, he has been fighting in Yunnan for many years, and the emperor sent himself to guard this time, which is also to express trust.

Third, and most importantly, Wang Ji's official position has been high enough and has been glorious for so many years, and now his biggest appeal is to earn a title for his descendants, so as to maintain his wealth for a long time.

Two years later, the emperor regained Jiaozhi, and the main force was to set off from Yunnan.

Once the great achievement of recovering Cochins is made, the hereditary Marquis is completely out of the question.

Zhu Qiyu nodded with satisfaction and continued to ask: "The governor of Yunnan is here, and there is still a lack of a general soldier, which Aiqing is willing to go?" ”

This sentence is purely an extra question, among the ministers present, only Ningyang Marquis Chen Mao, a military general, was specially announced by Zhu Qiyu to participate in the small court meeting.

The rest are Wenchen, and they can't be the chief soldiers.

So Chen Mao also stood up very happily and asked for help.

Zhu Qiyu nodded and began to make formal appointments: "Let's draft the cabinet, Wang Ji, Yu Qian, and Chen Mao will be crowned as the Taibao, and Yu Qian will be the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department, and the military affairs of Huguang, Henan, and Sichuan provinces will be governors

Wang Ji was the secretary of the military department, and the governor of the military affairs of Yunnan, Guizhou, and Jiaozhi provinces.

Chen Mao served as the chief military officer of Pingnan, and was in charge of the soldiers and horses of Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangxi, Guangdong, and Jiaozhi provinces.

All Aiqing must work together, and the imperial court must pacify the Miao Rebellion and recover Jiaozhi within five years. ”

At the first court meeting after officially accepting Chan Rang, Zhu Qiyu completely did not hide it, and directly called Jiaozhi a province, which was tantamount to expressing his determination to break the kettle.

It is necessary to change the two capitals and 13 provinces back to the two capitals and 14 provinces.

Only the Ming Dynasty, which is territorially intact, can be called a prosperous era.

The ministers didn't say anything, and they just took the order.

It's just a toe, and there's no need to tuck it anymore. Daming wants to recover his homeland, and he is not afraid that the Jiaozhi people will know in advance.

It is very difficult for an emperor who does not expand his territory and exalts his prestige to establish his sacredness.

Zhu Qiyu also understands his current situation: his prestige is already quite large, but it is not sacred enough.

As for how far Zhu Qiyu can be satisfied?

That is naturally until the subjects of the world accept their identity as the concubine of Queen Hu from the bottom of their hearts.

So Zhu Qiyu added: "I hereby promise that when the Miao Rebellion is pacified and Jiaozhi is recovered, the three of you will each be promoted to one level." ”

When the three of them heard this, they hurriedly thanked them.

Wang Ji and Chen Mao are waiting for this sentence.

Wang Ji is promoted to the marquis by one level, and Chen Mao is promoted to the prince of the country, which is quite attractive.

As for why the emperor did not mention hereditary replacement, both of them can understand.

It's all in place once, and then there's no reward.

Therefore, it must be that after recovering Jiaozhi, he will be rewarded with a first-class title, and then he will make great contributions, and then he will be given an iron scroll and a hereditary replacement.

Yu Qian was also very satisfied with this appointment, and was crowned Taibao by Shaobao, and served as the governor of three provinces, including Henan, which he had been governor for many years, and the emperor was quite face-saving.

After completely solving the distribution of rights and responsibilities of the four military department scholars, so that all four of them obtained satisfactory positions, Zhu Qiyu began the next topic.

The matter is still related to the military department, but Zhu Qiyu's attitude has become very tough: "Back then, the King of Han and the King of Jin rebelled, and the Xuande Dynasty was indiscriminate and punished for no reason.

As soon as Cheng Jing took office as a subordinate official of the King of Jin, he was inexplicably punished. Although the court also understood his grievances, he was still sentenced to corruption.

Sanyang's chaotic government has come to this point, which is deeply regrettable.

Now that I want to set things right, Ping Cheng Jing's grievances, and appoint him as the commander of the military arsenal, what do you think? ”

As soon as Zhu Qiyu said this, the calm attic suddenly became lively.

The emperor's words seem to be a bit informative.

First of all, it is no longer disguised, and the saying of 'Sanyang chaos' directly appeared.

Moreover, when Qian reprimanded him before, he also publicly admitted that he had colluded with Sanyang and Wang Zhen to smuggle ordnance, grain and grass in Shanxi.

This sent a clear signal that Zhu Qiyu was ready to officially characterize Sanyang.

Fortunately, Zhu Qiyu still left a line in the end, and did not publicly and directly deny Xuanzong.

Secondly, directly changing a eunuch into the civil official sequence is also a test of the emperor's authority.

This incident surprised and embarrassed the ministers present.

What is surprising is that the emperor is really willing to do this in order to become respectful.

Changing eunuchs to civil officials is a precedent in the Ming Dynasty.

The difficulty lies in the fact that Cheng Jing was originally a jinshi and is indeed qualified to be a civil official. Moreover, Cheng Jing did not make a mistake, let alone commit a crime, and it was pure bad luck to become a eunuch, which is really worthy of sympathy.

First of all, Wang Wen, Luo Tong, Jiang Yuan, He Wenyuan, Huang Pu, and He Yi must be on the emperor's side. Then Wang Ji, Chen Mao, and Xu Qi also had an indifferent attitude towards this.

Chen Xun, Zhou Chen, Shi Pu, Jin Lian and others looked at each other, exchanged glances, and finally did not say anything against it.

So everyone looked at Yu Qian.

Among the ministers present, Yu Qian was the only one who had a stake in him.
