Chapter 61: The Ministers Are Not Talented
"Wang Ji?" Li Qing frowned and sneered, "Princess, how much money did you receive from others, and you actually spoke for him like this?" โ
It stands to reason that Li Qing is a minister and Wang Zhen is a slave, and the two are not at the same level, but in fact this is not the case.
The real power of the eunuchs in charge of the eunuchs is not inferior to that of the cabinet scholars and the six scholars, and even has the name of the internal minister.
In comparison, Li Qing, who is a seven-grade person, is not qualified to compare with him at all.
But Li Qing still said, if nothing else, we have to look at Zhu Qizhen's attitude.
Is it me important, or is Wang Zhen important?
Wang Zhen was annoyed, he asked himself if he had given enough face to this celebrity in front of the palace, but Li Qing was so unsophisticated that he couldn't get off the stage, how could he not be angry.
Just as he was about to speak, Zhu Qizhen said first, "Wang Zhen, how much silver did you collect?" โ
"......" Wang Zhen was extremely aggrieved.
"The emperor is clear." Wang Zhen knelt down, kowtowed a few times, and said aggrievedly, "The slave and maid will not confiscate any son, the slave and maid recommend Wang Ji for the sake of the emperor and the Ming Dynasty, it is really selfless!" โ
"Da Ming doesn't need a eunuch to dictate yet." Yu Qian said.
Wang Zhen was angry and snorted: "Yu Shilang, you are the squire of the Ministry of War, the Shangshu of Wang Ji's Ministry of War, why are you so excited that our family recommends Wang Shangshu?"
Oh, yes, you're afraid that Wang Ji will crush you, right? โ
"You ......" Yu Qian wanted to scold, but in front of the emperor, he held back.
Wang Zhen did not give up, and continued to arch the fire: "Your Majesty, Yang Hong and Yu Shilang have an in-law relationship, he naturally wants Yang Hong to fight, he is selfish." โ
Zhu Qizhen took a sip of tea, and his face was already a little gloomy.
Seeing this, Wang Zhen no longer said this, and said again: "Your Majesty, Wang Shangshu is the secretary of the Ministry of War, Yu Shilang is the secretary of the Ministry of War, and Yu Shilang is also a civil servant, he can recommend himself, and Wang Shangshu can be recommended." โ
"Alright." Zhu Qizhen waved his hand, "Be quiet for a while, don't make noise." โ
Wang Zhen stopped talking, and the hall fell silent.
Zhu Qizhen pondered for a moment and said to Li Qing, "Sir, what do you think?" โ
The people in Beijing can't believe it, and the people in the local area can't believe it, and the commander of the army has to be selected from Beijing.
Alas, before you have regained power, you have begun to engage in power checks and balances, which is really convincing you...... Li Qing said helplessly: "Your Majesty, the ministers are not talented ......" รณฮ ั.oัG
Zhu Qizhen: "? โ
Wang Zhen: "?? โ
Yu Qian glanced at Li Qing in surprise, and immediately interrupted: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks it's inappropriate." โ
In his opinion, Li Qing has the ability, but there is no prestige, and a seven-rank official leading an army of 200,000 is simply child's play, and no one will be convinced.
Unless Li Qing blew up his identity, but no matter the consequences, someone has to believe it!
Do you want to explain it to people one by one?
"Sir, don't laugh." Zhu Qizhen also didn't believe that Li Qing had that ability, "Mr. is talented, in the court bureau, in Jiangshan Sheji, fighting and killing is done by rough people, I am reluctant to let Mr. charge into battle." โ
Li Qing was helpless, before the battle was fought, people began to be uneven, what could he say.
had to retreat to the second, "The emperor misunderstood, the minister did not recommend himself to take command, but ...... I would like to ask the Imperial Order to go to Cochin. โ
"Cochin?" Zhu Qizhen was puzzled, "What are you going to do there?" โ
"Persuade the former Han king to serve the country." Li Qing said.
Zhu Qizhen shook his head and said, "This is meaningless, I have already been to the letter, and he obviously refuses to help." โ
"You're sure." Li Qing's tone was firm.
Zhu Qizhen smiled and said, "I believe in Mr.'s ability, but this ...... Don't say whether it's successful or not, just say that the road is far away and obstructive, cloud. The eyebrows on the south side are burning again, and it's too late in time! โ
"There are disasters in the local area, and the magistrates like to exaggerate them, let alone military affairs?" Li Qingdao said, "Siam and Burma have just been suppressed, how can they immediately put all their wealth on it?"
Counting the time difference of the intelligence, it will only take two months at most to think about the rebellion, and at present, the Duke of Qianguo can still hold it. โ
Li Qing suggested, "The emperor can give the Duke of Qianguo some privileges, such as recruiting troops to resist the rebellion, and then allocating more grain, grass and ordnance, which can relieve him a lot of pressure;
The situation is urgent, but not so urgent that the heavens are about to fall. โ
Zhu Qizhen is young in the end, although he is smart and wise, he has never experienced major events.
As soon as he saw the military intelligence report, he immediately panicked, and now that Li Qing said this, he felt much better.
"Well, that's the reason." Zhu Qizhen nodded and said, "Yu Aiqing, you immediately send an official document to send eight hundred miles to Yun urgently. South, ordered the Duke of Qianguo to resist, the money and grain will arrive later, and I will mobilize a large army for reinforcements as soon as possible. โ
"Obey." Yu Qian gave up.
Zhu Qizhen said again: "As for what Mr. said, go to Jiaozhi to persuade Zhu Gaoxu, I think this is doing useless work, you should stay in Beijing." โ
"Your Majesty, at present, Siam and Burma do not dare to invade on a large scale, but they are also ready to move, and if this goes on for a long time, no one can say how it will be in the future, Southeast Asia ...... Ahem, that area is particularly important for Western trade, and it must not be lost;
If Jiaozhi can involve them, it will not only calm the chaos with half the effort, but also save a lot of money and food. Li Qing arched his hand and said, "Please also ask the emperor to think twice." โ
Zhu Qizhen said helplessly: "You just want to go like that? โ
"The minister just wants to do practical things for Daming."
"Alright, I'll do it." Zhu Qizhen sighed, "Go and come back quickly, now the situation is treacherous, and my husband is not here, so I can't be at ease." โ
Li Qing nodded: "The minister will set off today, and the matter of transferring troops cannot be delayed, and I ask the emperor to do it as soon as possible." โ
"Yes, I understand." Zhu Qizhen nodded, said no more, picked up the tea and sipped it gently.
Seeing this, Li Qing and the others got up, "The minister retreats." โ
"Well, the two Aiqing go slowly." Zhu Qizhen said with a smile, "State affairs are imminent, so I won't send it." โ
"Your Majesty is polite." The two arched their hands and turned to leave.
Li Qing walked a few steps, turned back, and said, "Your Majesty, what you promised me, you have to do it!" โ
"What did I promise you...... Oh, I remembered. Zhu Qizhen nodded and smiled: "Don't worry, I won't go to the expedition in person, if you don't say that I won't do that, the current situation is like this, how can I ignore the overall situation?" โ
"The emperor is wise." Li Qing smiled, turned around and quickly followed Yu Qian.
Out of the palace, Yu Qiancai sighed: "Wang Zhen is by the emperor's side, it's not a blessing for the country!" โ
Li Qing nodded and asked, "Who is he?" โ
The reference value of the history books is not much, so it is better to ask Yu Qian directly.
Yu Qian frowned and said: "This person is greedy for money and lustful, and he is flattering and bullying his subordinates......"
"Wait,?" Li Qing's mouth opened widely, "He, isn't he a eunuch?" โ
"Yes."
"Eunuchs can also be lustful?" Li Qing's three views were about to collapse, "What color is he taking?" โ
Yu Qian said: "It's not what Mr. thinks, it's ......."
After organizing the wording, Yu Qian explained, "In fact, although the eunuchs can't be personnel, they are undoubtedly psychologically like ordinary people, and there are not a few people in the palace who eat in pairs." โ
"Isn't it just a table for a meal?" Li Qing understood this, and said with a smile: "It's nothing more than psychological loneliness, the eunuchs and palace maids are lonely, and they chat with each other to express comfort, and they can't rise to the level of lust." โ
Yu Qian smiled bitterly: "I have an opinion about Wang Zhen, but I won't say bad things about him just because of food." โ
Li Qing's face changed, "What do you mean......?" โ
"It's not." Yu Qian shook his head: "Give him 10,000 guts, and he doesn't dare to come in the palace, but it's different when he comes out of this palace, Wang Zhen has a mansion outside the palace, and there are groups of wives and concubines, and they are all women from good families." โ
"The eunuch marries a wife......" Li Qing frowned slightly, this matter is not a precedent, if you really want me, there is nothing to say.
But the question is, who is willing to marry a woman from a normal family.
There is no coercion or coercion in this.
"Anything else?"
"Wang Zhen in the palace in addition to the emperor, Niangniang, almost single-handedly cover the sky, and this person is the best at slander, but also good at communicating, in the past and Sanyang had a very good relationship, the queen mother often spoke for him." Yu Qian said regretfully: "If it weren't for this, Wang Zhen would have been cut down by the Empress Dowager a long time ago, but it's a pity that it's ......!" โ
Li Qing said with a smile: "This person is indeed heinous, but for now, he is still useful, at least he is loyal to the emperor;
Now there are so many people fighting against the emperor, if he is cut off, it is tantamount to letting the emperor cut off his arm, you don't have to be impatient, when the situation is stable, I will find a way to get rid of him. โ
"Alas......!" Yu Qian nodded, "When will Mr. leave?" โ
"Pack up and leave when you get home." Li Qingdao said, "By the way, I have something to explain to you." โ
"Sir, please." Yu Qian took a deep breath, "I will do my best." โ
Li Qing smiled, "Little thing, help me take care of my donkey." โ
Yu Qian: "......"
