Chongzhen: I am the king of prosperous times

Chapter 142 The Way of the Emperor (2)

"Sun Qing, the admiral of the nine gates is a very important matter. You have to shoulder this burden. I want the sixteen gates of the inner and outer cities to be controlled by the master after he returns to the imperial court, so that they can control everything according to my orders..."

Sun Zushou, who bowed his head and walked out of the tent of the Chinese army commander, frowned, and the words that Emperor Chongzhen said to himself appeared in his mind involuntarily.

The burden of the nine admirals is not light.

It seems that the incident of Jianlu's invasion this time has caused the emperor to be very dissatisfied with the military divisions of the five cities, the censors' office of patrolling the city, and the three major battalions.

Thinking of Sun Zushou here, he slowly raised his head, his eyes gleamed with brilliance, and his expression became more and more determined. Since the emperor trusted him so much and appointed him as the admiral of the Nine Gates, he had to shoulder this burden.

"Wang Banban, go and summon Cao Huayu to me. I have something to discuss with him." Emperor Chongzhen, who was busy at his desk, said to Wang Chengen who was waiting beside him without raising his head.

"Here!"

Now that the foreign aggression from Jianlu's invasion has been eliminated, Emperor Chongzhen will take advantage of the current situation and before returning to Shenjing, make clear some deployments that must be taken, such as the top leaders of the 'Beijing Military Region', such as the 'Beijing Guard' The top leader, Lu Xiangsheng, is in charge of the outside, and Sun Zushou is in charge of the inside, and the double insurance of the garrison in Beijing is properly secured.

After making these arrangements, when Lu Xiangsheng, Sun Zushou and the others have established a firm foothold and the general situation in the capital area is stable, it will be time for him to take action to rectify the capital camp. Children, let's concentrate on training together.

Even though the top and bottom of the Ming Dynasty are currently bad, as the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Chongzhen still has the advantage of righteousness, which is too important to him.

"Minister Cao Huayu, I pay my respects to Your Majesty."

"Cao Qing is here, wait a moment, I have something important to do, and I need you to do it yourself."

Emperor Chongzhen, who was busy at his desk, lowered his head when he heard Cao Huayu's voice. At the same time, the speed of writing was accelerated. These generals who have not been reused must be put to good use.

"Whoo~"

After about a cup of tea, Emperor Chongzhen breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the documents on the desk, and saw that Cao Huayu was still kneeling on one knee, he couldn't help being taken aback, "Cao Qing, get down quickly."

"The minister leads the order."

Looking at Cao Huayu who was saluting respectfully, Emperor Chongzhen showed his approval. This Cao Huayu is sensible. It seems that this time the royal conquest defeated the Jianlu who invaded Ming Dynasty, which also increased his prestige a lot.

Emperor Chongzhen restrained his mind and said to Cao Huayu: "Cao Qing, I have an errand that I want you to handle personally. I have written down the names of some generals. Some of them are in the rescue team of King Qin this time, and some are in other places. , after you find them, pass on my oral order, ordering them to return to Beijing according to the order."

"The minister leads the order!"

Although he didn't know who and what generals the emperor wanted to find, Cao Huayu immediately clapped his hands and answered. Wang Chengen took the document from Emperor Chongzhen and walked towards Cao Huayu holding it.

"Let's get this done."

Emperor Chongzhen, who was in a good mood, was very satisfied with Cao Huayu's attitude. If all the people he wanted to find could be gathered in the capital, there would be no problem if he wanted to thoroughly and resolutely rectify the capital camp in the future.

Cao Wenzhao, Zuo Liangyu, Huang Degong...

A name emerged in Emperor Chongzhen's mind. Some were loyal to Daming from the beginning to the end, and some were self-respecting in the later period. But since he came, their fate trajectory will also be deflected accordingly.

The most difficult self-improvement can be changed by himself, so Emperor Chongzhen has reason to believe that it is certainly possible to change other matters as long as he knows how to use the situation to check and balance.

The biggest crisis that came to Daming for the first time, after this period of hard work, was settled, and the invading Jianlu suffered a lot of damage. Next, it was time to turn the guns and aim at the court of Ming Dynasty.

The situation of fighting alone must be broken. Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun. As long as he can control the military power in the Gyeonggi area, he will have the confidence to fight against the Korean and Chinese officials in the future.

The next thing to do is to overthrow Yuan.

Yuan Chonghuan is a man of great political wisdom, an absolute politician, and simple and rough handling is not good and does not fit his status as an emperor.

Yuan tied himself closely with the Ming Dynasty's fight against Liao Dynasty, shouted the slogan of "Ping Liao Dynasty in five years", contacted the Liaodong generals externally, and internally connected with the ministers of the DPRK and China, forming a distinct interest group.

On the original timeline, the Emperor Chongzhen was wrong. He should not have arrested the politician Yuan Chonghuan before the invading prisoner was determined, which would have dealt a big blow to his own prestige.

It is undeniable that Yuan did have some abilities and skills, but he misused his intelligence and paid too much attention to personal fame in exchange for a long career.

'Think carefully about what to do with Yuan Chonghuan. '

Just as Emperor Chongzhen was thinking about how to deal with Yuan Chonghuan, he pointed at the military aircraft office next to the commander-in-chief of the Chinese Army, and Sun Chengzong and others were discussing these decisions of the emperor.

"Sun Gong, what do you think of these decisions made by His Majesty?" Li Banghua frowned slightly, and said to Sun Chengzong with the memorials drawn up by their military plane in his hand.

"Such a large-scale appointment and dismissal of military commanders from all over the country involves many commanders and deputy commanders, and Lu Jiandou's appointment as governor of Jiliao. I'm afraid that this matter will cause a storm when it is reported back to the capital."

Sun Chengzong frowned and said: "Li Gong, I understand what you said, but under the current situation, the invading Jianlu has been defeated by me, Daming.

If it wasn't for His Majesty's personal conquest this time, do you think I, Daming, would have defeated Jianlu so quickly and thoroughly?
Obviously, His Majesty made these decisions after careful consideration. Your Majesty has a saying that I agree with. Do we want to look at Jianlu and invade Daming again?

The soldiers and horses rescued by King Qin will eventually return. If you don’t clarify the places as soon as possible, given the current situation in the Jimi Yong Sanxie, do you think you can shoulder the heavy responsibility of defending the safety of the capital? "

"..."

When Wang Qia and Li Banghua heard this, they fell into deep thought, and there was a little worry on their brows. How could they not understand these principles.

It's just that the emperor moved too many people this time, and the attitude expressed by the emperor, all these signs point to one point. When the Xifeng pass is recovered by Daming, the emperor will question Yuan Chonghuan.

But Yuan Chonghuan is really tricky to deal with, not only has a lot of involvement with the court ministers, but also a lot with Liaoqian.

If it is not handled properly, it will really cause new turmoil.

As far as the current Ming Dynasty is concerned, whether it can withstand such turmoil is what Wang Qia and Li Banghua are most worried about.
