Immortality begins with Xiaoao

Chapter 66
"Your Majesty is too impatient."

Zhu Houzhao sighed:

"I didn't expect them to be so bold, and they would have such a big reaction after just a little probing. Hehe, Liu Jin, a eunuch, was charged with treason, and the bow and crossbow armor is really absurd."

The memorial was thrown to the ground hard, Yu Fei picked it up and patted it, and put it on the desk.

"Your Majesty doesn't need to be like this. The Yingyang Army has been able to make great use of it, and no one can threaten Your Majesty."

Zhu Houzhao nodded, gratefully said:
"Mr. Wronged, I stayed in Henan for four years."

Yu Fei shook his head with a smile and said:
"Your Majesty was joking. You can do practical things and contribute to the world. I can only be happy in my heart, but I have no grievances."

Zhu Houzhao nodded, said "Sir, a national scholar", and after a moment of consideration, he said:

"I just guided Liu Jin to want to investigate the military base a little bit, but Liu Jin suffered such a backlash. After thinking about it, I still don't have enough prestige in the army, and I want to personally conquer."

After hearing this, Yu Fei nodded after thinking for a while and asked:
"I don't know how the Huben Army is training?"

This Huben Army was trained by Yu Fei after Yu Fei had trained the Ying Yang Army and compiled the results into a book. Zhu Houzhao selected [-] young men from good families and secretly handed them over to Mou Bin, who had retired as the commander.

It's been almost three years now.

Speaking of this, Zhu Houzhao smiled instantly and said:

"Mr.'s method is extremely effective, and it has already achieved great results."

After hearing this, Yu Fei also showed a smile. Ying Yang is a cavalry soldier, and Huben is a heavy armored infantry. With these [-] elite soldiers in hand, no matter how dangerous the situation is, Zhu Houzhao can be as stable as Mount Tai.

"In this way, the minister is also relieved. I don't know where His Majesty wants to use troops?"

Hearing Yu Fei's question, Zhu Houzhao smiled, pulled Yu Fei to a large map, pointed to the Monan and Hetao areas and said:
"Monan came out with a hero named Dayan Khan, who united all the tribes in Monan, and now he has his hands in the Hetao area. If he doesn't care that he will become bigger, I want to beat him."

Yu Fei looked at the map, nodded and said:

"Your Majesty is wise, it is true that Dayan Khan cannot be ignored, but His Majesty still needs to be patient. Now that the court situation is unstable, and most of the money and grain have been used to manage the Yellow River in recent years, the money and grain saved by the court may not be enough to support the expedition. Fighting is going to be a big fight, just driving them out of Hetao is not very useful, since sending troops, we have to sweep the northern grasslands all at once, so that they dare not have the heart of disobedience for decades."

"This way we can have a stable environment and reform the military system. What does your Majesty think?"

Hearing this, Zhu Houzhao couldn't disagree, he laughed and said:
"Sir, taking a long-term view, let the little prince go for the time being."

Zhengde six years on June [-]th.

Liu Jin was sentenced to death for the crime of "rebellion". The anti-Liu operation that had been going on for more than half a year finally came to an end.

Few of Liu Jin's followers ended well. Only Jiao Fang Kuaijue not only secretly transferred all the embezzled family wealth to the emperor's internal treasury, but also lost face as a cabinet scholar and became a staunch supporter of Zhu Houzhao.

Not only was he not implicated, but he also kept his status as a cabinet scholar. Li Dongyang and others were naturally unwilling, but Zhu Houzhao died to protect Jiao Fang. Li Dongyang didn't want to confront the emperor head-on, so he had to let it go.

And Yu Fei also moved to the Zuo Shilang of the Household Department and the Minister of the Imperial Academy because of his achievements in river control.

With such a promotion arrangement, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Yu Fei is bound to join the cabinet, it's just a matter of time.

Regarding this promotion, there were very few criticisms from the court, and only a few censors jumped out to invite names. As a result, Zhu Houzhao was suppressed by Jiao Fang before he could speak.

Li Dongyang and Wang Jia also have no objection, after all Yu Fei's promotion this time has such a real credit, even if he wants to stop it, he can't stop it.

Moreover, Li Dongyang and Liu Jin have been fighting for so many years, and their efforts have been almost exhausted. It's just that the current political situation is unstable, which is why they occupy the position of chief assistant.

Yu Fei hadn't taken office in the Ministry of Accounting for two months, but he found more than a dozen moths, large and small, in the Ministry of Accounting. As a result, Sun Shuyan, the Minister of the Ministry of Accounting, thought that Yu Fei wanted to be in charge, and he was also a little unclean, so he was so frightened that he took the initiative to submit the memorial. Beg old to return home.

Yu Fei's name is well-known in Zhili, after all, he drove away his immediate boss only two months after he took office, which is the first time since the Kingdom of China.

Yu Fei was also a little helpless, this financial person was either very courageous and able to cover the sky, or like this Sun Shangshu, he would be surprised whenever there was a turmoil.

However, this is considered a good thing. After what happened to Sun Shangshu, the atmosphere of the entire yamen of the household department has been revived, and the work efficiency has been greatly improved.

And with Sun Shangshu's departure, Yu Fei, the left servant, also became the head of the household department, Daming's actual financial steward, and a campaign to crack down on corruption started from the capital to all parts of Daming.

On the third day of December in the sixth year of Zhengde, it has been almost half a year since Yu Fei joined the Ministry of Household Affairs, and the anti-corruption campaign officially ended more than a month ago. This time, a total of 73 officials, large and small, were demoted and killed. The memorial to Yu Fei’s impeachment It is also countless.

It's just that Li Dongyang and Zhu Houzhao suppressed them all.

In fact, these scholar-bureaucrats in the Ming Dynasty were very complicated, like Li Dongyang and Liu Jian.Including the later Xu Jie, Zhang Juzheng, etc., you think they are good people, right?Really not, these greeds are really greedy, and the means of attacking political opponents are also exhaustive.

But these people are people who handle affairs, and they can clearly distinguish how to benefit this country, especially Li Dongyang. If you want him to preside over the reform, he probably will not dare or want to, but if other people come to be If he is a young bird, he will be happy to succeed, and he can also help a little.

"This year's Dafeng in the north, the annual income totals 300 million taels of grain, 20 pieces of cloth, 15 dans of tea, about 40 taels of other sundries, and 500 million taels of silver, all converted into silver taels, about [-] Ten thousand taels, [-]% more than last year."

After listening to Yu Fei's report in Wenhua Palace, Li Dongyang stroked his gray beard and said with a smile:
"Yu Shilang has done a good job. In just half a year, he has achieved such an effect. It is really a great city in the country. We can also relax next year."

Yu Fei smiled and said a few words modestly. At this moment, Jiao Fang, who had been listening quietly, said:

"Since the money and food are plentiful, shouldn't it be time for His Majesty to discuss the conquest next year?"

Li Dongyang frowned upon hearing this, and scolded:
"It's just nonsense. There have been four consecutive years of corvée for the management of the Yellow River. The people are already miserable, and now they have to go to the grassland to fight. If the Yingzong incident happens again, the good situation will collapse. What are your intentions?"

Although Li Dongyang is the chief assistant, Jiao Fang is not afraid of him, and also shouted:
"Li Binzhi, Your Majesty is wise and powerful. You have the ambition of Emperor Taizong. Instead of assisting you wholeheartedly, you find yourself in trouble everywhere. Now you compare Your Majesty to Emperor Yingzong. What is your intention? Do you regard your family as Yu Shaobao?"

Seeing the two quarreled again, the rest of the ministers also looked at the excitement and didn't think it was a big deal, so they secretly set fire to each other.
