Chapter 355
"Counting romantic figures, but looking at the present..." Chongzhen sat on the dragon chair, muttering in a low voice.

Chongzhen not only paid attention to the remonstrance of his most trusted minister Anguo Gong Liu Hongjian, but also moved him.

Since ascending to the throne at the age of 17, he has never left the capital again.

18 years of hard work, the frivolous heart of his youth has also been worn away by the years. Inside this high wall, he faces these courtiers all day long.

He knew Jianlu and Tartars, but he had never seen a blood-stained battlefield...

He has read poems and seen ink paintings, but he has never seen the lonely smoke in the desert or the grassland...

Chongzhen looked at the courtiers who were kneeling on the ground. They talked eloquently and discouraged him from following the ancestral system to sit in the capital, and almost everyone opposed it.

He glanced at An Guogong again, and found that Lizi was still full of hope.

For this Zhuzi, Beizheng Jianlu is just as usual, but now he is willing to risk the disapproval of the world and let him personally conscript...

Chongzhen coughed twice, he seemed to understand something.

"Zhen..." Chongzhen spoke in a deep voice, and the hall immediately fell silent.

Civil and military officials all looked up at Chongzhen. They firmly believed that Emperor Chongzhen was an emperor who understood etiquette and followed the ancestral system. He would not mess around like Wu Zong, let alone listen to An Guogong.

Many officials have gentle faces, and they have already put on a posture to say that His Majesty is wise.

"I... want to conquer in person!" Chongzhen sat upright, looking down at the officials.

"His Majesty……"

"This world belongs to me. The emperor is not like a trapped beast. Why is he imprisoned in a high wall? I have made up my mind. You don't need to remonstrate. The cabinet and the Ministry of War have set a date for the expedition and retreat!"

Chongzhen didn't want to listen to the noise of this group of people anymore, he knew that if he sat here, no matter how determined he was, these courtiers would still be able to persuade him until dark without any seriousness.

When Chongzhen got up to go down the imperial steps, he gave Liu Hongjian a wink, and Liu Hongjian naturally understood.

All the ministers sighed, including the chief assistant of the cabinet, they all glared at Liu Hongjian. They thought that this young man was leading Daming into the abyss.

It was so painful that all the changes that Liu Hongjian brought to Daming were not enough to offset the courtiers' fear of the civil fortress and their aversion to the imperial conquest.

But for all these, Liu Hongjian didn't care about the courtiers' prejudice or resentment towards him.

Sometimes the truth is not in the majority, and future generations will comment on the merits and demerits.

All he knew was that this 'old man' who devoted his entire life to the Ming Empire had no time left. He should look at his empire, and more importantly, how his old enemy was destroyed...

This is enough, no one can satisfy everyone, he is not demanding, let alone care.

The window paper in the Qianqing Palace has all been replaced with glass, and the dark hall has finally become much brighter.

After getting rid of the noisy officials, the two monarchs and ministers sat in the bright and clean palace, and instantly felt much better.

"Your Majesty, I'm asking you to go on a personal expedition. I'm not just acting on your own will. I have confidence. I..." Liu Hongjian knew that Chongzhen was actually under more pressure than he was in the court.

After all, the empire rested on Chongzhen first, and then him.

It's just that those courtiers don't know the strength of the Ming army at all, and they don't know that the current situation is changing, and Tie Ma Binghe is slowly being eliminated...

Although the ministers in the court could walk around, Liu Hongjian dared to bet that these courtiers, like Chongzhen, had never seen a real desert, never seen a real grassland, and never seen a real Tartar.

Like Chongzhen, everything they learned came from the so-called sage books.

They stick to the old ways and are proud of it, so they think that as a wise king, they should, like them, abide by the rules of their ancestors.

Rotten Confucianism misleads the country!

Reform, reform, Liu Hongjian knew the urgency of reform, but with a tiger lying beside him, he had no time to take care of these bad policies, because he wanted to get rid of these hundreds of years of bad policies.

The energy and time consumed are harder than winning a big battle!
"I understand. You Ming doesn't need to say more. I just want you to answer one question and agree to one thing." Chongzhen waved his hand to drive away the palace ladies and eunuchs, interrupting Liu Hongjian's explanation.

"Please speak, Your Majesty." Liu Hongjian saw Chongzhen's serious face, and he was serious too.

"How many soldiers is appropriate for this battle, and how confident are you?" In the end, Chongzhen had never been to battle, let alone the glory of the Ming army.

"Your Majesty, I never fight unprepared battles. I have carefully considered what I have said today. In order to cope with the upcoming Northern Expedition, as early as a month ago, I led Jin Yiwei to go deep into the desert and grassland to investigate everything. It is useful for Ming Dynasty. intelligence.

Jianlu fell into internal strife because of the defeat in the war. The regent of Jianlu, Dorgon, and Prince Su Hauge fought because of a woman. "Liu Hongjian said this, showing a strange smile.

According to Jin Yiwei's report, Xiao Yu'er became pregnant not long after returning home. Dorgon thought it was his, and Hauge thought it was his. The two fought fiercely for a green hat...

"And the ancient tribes of the League of Nations were very dissatisfied with Jianlu's reform of the Eight Banners. Chahar Khan took the opportunity to lobby, so that some tribes would join the Golden Family, and the other tribes would not move..."

Liu Hongjian seriously analyzed the situation of Jiancap in Menggu for Chongzhen.

Now Daming needs a victory to let these fools know who is the boss.

"As for this battle, I think... [-] soldiers are enough!" Liu Hongjian estimated, originally wanted to say [-], but felt that this would only make the ministers more panic.

Because Jianlu Iron Cavalry has always had the saying that the Eight Banners are no more than ten thousand, and more than ten thousand are invincible.

[-] soldiers, half of the frontier army and the Beijing camp, iron cavalry, infantry, musketeers, supplemented by artillery, etc...

"The emperor who will surely win the Ming Dynasty!" Liu Hongjian had a well-thought-out plan. All he did was to fulfill Chongzhen's long-cherished wish.

After all, if he led his own troops, it would be so troublesome to use them.

"You can't underestimate the enemy, Youming!" Chongzhen still knew the reason why arrogant soldiers must be defeated.

"Hehe, did the emperor forget the grenade? Don't forget that we still have cannons. If the emperor sees that thing, he will definitely not think that the humble minister is talking big! It's just that the minister doesn't know what the emperor asked the minister to promise?"

The enormous power of science and technology is simply beyond the comprehension of the corrupt scholars of this era.

"Whether it's victory or defeat, after this battle, I want you to marry Kun Xing, that girl Kun Xing..." Chongzhen knew his own body, he knew the situation of the prince, and knew that Kun Xing did not object. An understanding child.

He had to pave the way for the prince. The only ones who were truly able to help Daming move forward were the civil and military officials in the Manchu dynasty. All of this was a match made in heaven.

It's just that everything in this world is too late, there are thousands of talented young people who want to marry Princess Daming, but this kid...

"Everything is obeyed by the emperor!" Liu Hongjian understood what Chongzhen meant. They trusted each other, but they still needed a bond.

And Kun Xing is this link, that girl of Kun Xing should also understand that now that Uncle Chongzhen has lowered his figure again and again, he really doesn't know what to do if he tries to evade it.

Well, it looks like I'm going to have more wives again!
"So I'm relieved! Daming and Jianlu have been at war for decades, and I really want to see that desert wasteland.

Oh, by the way, Cao Huachun has also taken up the post of director of the East Factory now, and you will explain some related matters to him. "Chongzhen was really happy.

"Your Majesty, I feel that some improvements should be made to the power of supervision. For example, the Inspectorate and the Sixth Division should give notice of the incident. I think it is very inappropriate." Liu Hongjian frowned.

This unhealthy trend must be curbed, otherwise every day you spray this, he sprays that, there is no real evidence, anyway, you don't have to be responsible, then this court will not be a vegetable market?

In fact, it has always been so.

"Well, I am also annoyed by this group of censors." Chongzhen deeply felt the same way, he believed that his father and brother were the same, but they were powerless to change.

But he can, he has an army in his hand, an army like his arms, the army is a butcher's knife, wherever the butcher's knife goes, he is invincible...

"I believe that when the right to listen to rumors is revoked, if the Procuratorate and the Sixth Division want to impeach someone, they must have real evidence.

If you listen to the rumors and then catch the rumors, you should, according to the priorities of the things you play, fine the salary if it is light, and the staff, demotion, or even dismissal if it is serious.

Only in this way can the political affairs of the court be clearer and the emperor will be less troubled. "Liu Hongjian said in a deep voice.

He has long disliked these officials, not that they are useless, but that they did not use their strength in the right place.

Although Dongchang and Jinyiwei also have the right to supervise all officials, the factory guard is different from the Inspectorate and the Sixth Division.

The Procuratorate and the Sixth Division are the self-inspection systems of the civil service system, but they cannot be abolished functionally.

The factory guard is the system directly under Chongzhen, and it checks and balances with the Inspectorate and the Six Divisions.

If there is no Inspectorate, the factory guard will definitely be powerful. Although he can control it now, Lao Liang is also a person who knows how to advance and retreat, but who knows what will happen in the future?
Lao Liang was old after all, and there was the East Factory. The factory guards were all dark after all. To put it bluntly, the factory guards had been the hunting dogs of the royal family since its establishment.

Many things cannot be put on the bright side, although there have been some changes due to Liu Hongjian's arrival.

Cancellation of the rumors, everyone is all evidence to tell the story, the Inspectorate and the Sixth Division gave the supervisory officials, the East Factory supervisory officials and the Inspectorate Sixth Division, Jin Yiwei supervised the East Factory.

The monitoring mechanism that Daming has used for hundreds of years is still very reliable, but a pot of good porridge is always dirty by individual black flies.

"Well, what Ai Qing said is reasonable, I also thought about it a few days ago, and I will take back the power to detain officials without driving posts in the East Factory.

Since Jin Yiwei has the responsibility to monitor the East Factory, I will leave this to you. If Ai Qing thinks the matter is important, you can directly inform me with someone. " Chongzhen thought for a while and said.

"I obey the order, and I will be cautious in my words and deeds, and live up to the emperor's orders." This is because he has already regarded him as a family member, and Liu Hongjian naturally knows the weight of this trust.

"Well, so Aiqing, let's go back earlier, and make a decision after discussing the Northern Expedition with the cabinet tomorrow." Chongzhen seemed to feel a little tired.

"No, I will leave." Liu Hongjian stood up.

"Oh, by the way, this glass is pretty good, I like it very much, I want to replace all the windows in the palace with this glass, you need to trouble me!"

"what……???"
