Chapter 4 Trust each other
Zhu Qiyu looked at the ministers who were urging, and was quite moved.
He knew Yu Qian's loyalty, and he also recognized Yu Qian's ability, and Yu Qian's ascension to the throne was most beneficial to him.
Zhu Qiyu almost nodded, but when he noticed a sharp gaze coming, he couldn't help but be depressed.
This gaze came from Li Qing.
If it was before, Zhu Qiyu wouldn't have taken it to heart at all, but ...... Li Qing revealed himself.
Yongqinghou's name is not covered, and Zhu Qiyu doesn't want to lose this family heirloom.
In the end, he also vetoed the ministers' urging:
"The military department is the one who dispatches military supplies and is in charge of logistics, and the war should naturally be done by the military future." Zhu Qiyu said lightly, "If the civil official did the military general's business, what else do the military generals do?"
In other words, if a civilian official does the work of a military general, can a military general also do the work of a civilian official?
Entered the Imperial Court, entered the cabinet, served as the ...... of the six ministers and the squire? β
When the civil official heard this, he immediately became anxious, where is this?
One by one, they quarreled again, this time, even Hu Hu and Wang Zhi joined the battle group, and let those reckless men come to Wenzhi, isn't this a big joke in the world?
What is a double standard?
That's it!
The natural sense of superiority of civil officials is engraved in their bones, believing that governing the country can only be civil officials, not those reckless people who don't know a few big words.
Everything is inferior, only reading is high!
Whether good or bad, nine out of ten civilian officials look down on military generals.
This time, Yang Hong and Shi Heng were also annoyed.
Like the other side, they also look down on civilian officials, believing that they are sacrificing their lives on the battlefield, and these people just sit back and enjoy their achievements, without contributing at all.
"Silence!"
Xiao Hengzi saw that it was really not like words, and screamed to stop it.
The court gradually quieted down, and Zhu Qiyu said undoubtedly: "Civilian officials and military generals perform their duties, and whoever says that civil officials lead the troops will have twenty court staffs." β
Ever since he planned to welcome Zhu Qizhen back, he had hardened himself.
Because he has faced his fears, he has nothing to fear.
"Let's discuss state affairs," Zhu Qiyu said, "During the Chinese New Year, what happened in various places, and what needs to be resolved as soon as possible, let's talk about it." β
β¦
After the end of the morning dynasty, Li Qing deliberately slowed down his pace, and sure enough, soon the eunuch on duty came to stop him.
"Lord Li, the emperor ordered you to meet the driver."
"Well, lead the way."
~
The Imperial Study.
Only Zhu Qiyu is alone.
The celebrant has been operating, and Zhu Qiyu has been a little annoyed with the cabinet recently, so he asked him to connect with the celebrant and clean up by himself.
Since the establishment of the Yongle Dynasty, the cabinet has developed to the present, and it still plays the role of secretary.
They only have the right to vote, not the right to make decisions, that is, to approve and deal with opinions, but for specific implementation, it is not possible without the emperor's Zhu approval.
And the emperor also has the power to dismiss or re-annotate.
So far, the cabinet is far from getting out of control, and even compared with the six ministries, it is a big difference.
"Sir, please be seated." Zhu Qiyu pointed to the chair opposite.
Li Qing was not polite, pulled out a chair and sat down,
Xiao Hengzi hurriedly brought two cups of tea and stood quietly aside.
Li Qing glanced at him.
Zhu Qiyu explained: "He is now the eunuch of the celebrant and the seal of the seal. β
"Hmm." Li Qing nodded and went straight to the point: "The emperor called me, what is the matter?" β
"Wang Ji is coming back." Zhu Qiyu was a little melancholy, "The soldiers who went to Luchuan have all returned." βgΓ²ΠΉΠͺ.ΕΞg
"This is a good thing," Li Qing said with a smile, "The Battle of Luchuan is over perfectly, and there will be a long period of calm there, which is conducive to maritime trade, whether it is the imperial court or the people." β
"I know." Zhu Qiyu groaned and said, "I'm worried...... Wang Ji and other generals are all loyal to the Emperor, and after a while, they will welcome back the Emperor, you know what I mean? β
Li Qing nodded: "The emperor is too worried, they are the courtiers of the Emperor Taishang, and they are also the courtiers of the Ming Dynasty, and they are also the courtiers of the emperor;
The soldiers won the battle, which was a good opportunity to envelop, and the emperor was very happy when he rewarded his meritorious deeds. β
After a pause, "As for the Emperor Taishang's side, I'll go to greet him." β
Zhu Qiyu smiled bitterly and said: "Sir, you still don't understand what I mean, I am afraid that after the Emperor Taishang comes back, they will secretly collude and bewitch the Emperor...... You know, right? β
I know what you mean, he can't come back...... Li Qing said: "Isn't the Emperor Taishang still coming back yet, let's solve the matter in front of me first, we can't chill the hearts of the soldiers." β
When Zhu Qiyu thought of another large amount of silver, he couldn't help but feel pain: "Sir, freezing three feet is not a day's cold, and the problem of over-issuance of treasure banknotes ......"
"Pay it back slowly, five years will not achieve ten years, and ten years will not become twenty years." Li Qing smiled and said, "It'll be over, and it won't take that long." β
Zhu Qiyu was quite speechless: just... Do I have to be the only one?
Alas......
"Sir seems to be very repulsive to Yu Qian's military power!" Zhu Qizhen sighed and said quietly, "Aren't you very close?" β
"I'm not targeting Yu Qian, but... This has nothing to do with Yu Qian himself. Li Qing said solemnly: "Civilian officials in charge of the army will make the army's combat strength decline, a serious decline." β
Seeing that Zhu Qiyu was unimpressed, Li Qing said: "Does the emperor know why Taizu Taizong suppressed literature with force?" β
"Civilian corruption is better than military generals?"
"Yes, but not entirely." Li Qing sighed, "The main reason is to prevent the Ming Dynasty from following the old path of the Song Dynasty." β
Zhu Qiyu frowned and pondered.
Li Qingdao: "Greed for ink is only one aspect, in fact, generals are also corrupt, everyone knows it, and the main reason is the problem of duty;
Let's take this defense of the capital division as an example, if the main generals of the Jiumen defenders are all civilian officials, let them fight with the Tatars, can they do it?
These individuals are pampered, and they haven't even killed chickens in normal times, so they are placed on the battlefield where thousands of troops and horses are fighting, can they bear it? Li Qing said, "Even if you don't get scared to pee your pants, you will be messed up." β
After a pause, he continued: "The duty of a military general is to protect the family and defend the country, and it is a capital crime to abandon sincerity and land, which is deeply rooted in the bone marrow, so when encountering a strong enemy, no matter what the general's private morality is, he will resist desperately, and the civilian official ......"
Li Qing said that he was thirsty, took a sip of tea, and then continued:
"It's not that I belittle the civil officials, in fact, there are some good officials among the civil officials, but the problem is ...... There is no way out for military generals, but there is a way for civil officials to retreat!
It is a capital crime for a military general to abandon the city and land, but a civilian official is not, under the test of life and death, how will a civilian official who is also a military general choose? β
Li Qing said: "The emperor said that adding a restriction to civil officials will not work, and even if it works, it will not last long." β
"Alas...... I see. Zhu Qiyu smiled bitterly: "Sir, the more I understand, the more I feel that it is difficult to be an emperor." β
He was a little distressed: "If the emperor doesn't personally levy, how good it would be!" β
Li Qing couldn't help but be silent, yes, if Zhu Qizhen didn't do it, there wouldn't be so much bullshit.
But it doesn't make much sense to say that now.
"By the way, Your Majesty, you didn't kill that Tokhtar Polo, did you?"
"No, didn't you say he's still useful?" Zhu Qiyu shook his head and said, "I'm locked up in Zhao Prison." β
said, looking at Xiao Hengzi, "People are still alive, right?" β
"Go back to the emperor and live." Xiao Hengzi replied respectfully.
Hearing this, Li Qing was much more relaxed: "Welcome back to the Emperor Taishang, and leave it to me when the time comes." β
Zhu Qiyu frowned slightly: "Sir, not to mention that this is a very dangerous errand, and...... Thankless, you better not go. β
Li Qing's heart warmed: It's quite distressing.
"I have to go, and I have to be me." Li Qing said, "The ministers regard me as a thorn in their side, so they naturally recommend me very much." β
"I don't allow it." Zhu Qiyu said stiffly.
"The Queen Mother will let me go too."
Zhu Qiyu said firmly: "I fight with her." β
Li Qing smiled: "I want to go too." β
Zhu Qiyu was stunned for a moment, puzzled: "Why?" What are you trying to do? β
"Tu is all right!" Li Qing said.
βοΌβ
"Huh...... Your Majesty, do you believe me? β
Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "If I didn't believe you, I wouldn't agree with you so much, and I wouldn't have pressed Yu Qian not to promote." β
Li Qing's tone was sincere: "Then let me go, you believe me, I will live up to you!" β
Zhu Qiyu looked at him fixedly, smiled slowly, and said softly, "I believe in you." β
"Hmm." Li Qing also smiled.
Although the matter is tricky, it is not impossible, as long as Zhu Qiyu is stable, he can solve it.
