Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 74 Beijing Camp (1)

A light rain came quietly. The Chinese Army Dudu's Mansion, located at the right gate of Chang'an, was not like other government offices, with many people coming in and out.

"It's raining well. What do you think of Mr. Pheasant Sheng?"

In the official office, Zhang Weixian leaned on the official hat chair, picked up the tea cup at hand, took a sip, and said to Sun Chengzong meaningfully.

"It's good."

Sun Chengzong, who was not thinking here, squeezed out a smile and responded.

"What's on your mind, Mr. Pheasant Rope?"

The corners of Zhang Weixian's mouth turned up slightly, he put down the tea cup and looked at Sun Chengzong with concern.

"No...no."

Sun Chengzong was taken aback for a moment, then subconsciously replied, and then looked at Zhang Weixian, "Mr. Ying, you invited officials to the Chinese military governor's mansion today, did you have any important matters related to the Beijing camp?"

"What Mr. Pheasant Sheng said is wrong."

Zhang Weixian lifted up the sleeves of his robe, and said with a slight smile: "I am the admiral of the military administration of the Beijing camp, and Mr. Zhi Sheng is the assistant in charge of the military administration of the Beijing camp. Mr. Sheng’s opinion, what I said is correct, right?”

Sun Chengzong remained silent.

Zhang Weixian, a British prince, said such kind words, which also revealed the fact that the admiral and military affairs in the capital under the leadership of the Ming Dynasty were mostly just political decorations.

The one who can really make a decision on the Beijing camp is the civil servant who serves as the assistant manager of the Beijing camp military administration. After all, he is stuck with the power to supply money and food. If something happens, those who break the rules will inevitably be plotted.

"Did Duke Pheasant Sheng hear about the demonstration at the Imperial College?"

Seeing that Sun Chengzong was silent, Zhang Weixian said leisurely: "It seems... His Majesty is very angry about this matter, and ordered the Xunwei to arrest the troublemakers overnight.

To say a word, I am not afraid of the jokes made by Mr. Pheasant Rope.

Since Gouzi entered Xunwei, he goes back home every day without even eating. He is so tired and just wants to sleep. Sometimes I want to chat with him, but I can fall asleep. I am so angry that I want to use my family law.

But guess what?

As soon as the order from the Governor's Palace of the Royal Guards was sent to my British Duke's residence last night, this bastard ran away in a hurry, calling the generals to put on armor for him as he ran, which made me unable to sleep well last night.

Forget it, let’s not mention these things. I heard that the group of people arrested by Xunwei were all supervisors who failed the examination of the Imperial Academy and were dismissed by the Imperial Academy’s sacrificial wine Xu Guangqi. What do you think about them? No matter how dissatisfied, you can't violate the laws and regulations of the country. "

What an eventful year.

Listening to what Zhang Weixian said, Sun Chengzong had a complicated expression. How could he not know that this matter was such a big commotion? Sun Chengzong even guessed who was involved.

Ok.

Those who knew something about the current situation at court didn't feel that the Guozijian gathered a crowd to demonstrate, but simply ran to the Guozijian overnight because of the unhappiness of the students.

Zhang Weixian understood.

Sun Chengzong knew it.

Others know.

It's just... Even if you really know some things, you can only hold them in your heart. The court is not a place of business, and you will be responsible for what you say.

"British Sir, it's better not to talk about these things."

Sun Chengzong gathered his thoughts, looked at Zhang Weixian and said: "We have been ordered to rectify the capital camp, and we have investigated everything. Even His Majesty recalled all the ministers who were condemned by the inner court to the palace. You are the admiral of the military affairs of the capital camp, and I am the official. I am the assistant in charge of the military affairs of the Beijing camp, and the problems of the Beijing camp are there, but the regulations have not been drawn up for a long time. I feel that if we delay it any longer, I am afraid that it will be difficult for His Majesty to explain."

This is what I am waiting for.

Hearing this, the corners of Zhang Weixian's mouth turned up slightly, and he quickly regained his composure. Not only Sun Chengzong was anxious about rectifying the Beijing camp, but Zhang Weixian was even more anxious.

It's just that there are some things that can't be solved in a hurry.

All kinds of problems are there in the various ministries of the capital camp defending the capital, as long as they are not blind and have a sound mind, they can see clearly.

But why is the problem not solved?
It's not about profit!
The water in this capital camp is too deep, so deep that even Zhang Weixian is deeply afraid. In addition to civil servants, there are nobles, internal prisons, and military generals. All kinds of forces are mixed in it. This is not just three melons and two dates, but countless Ah, when my predecessor is in this position, he can reap all kinds of benefits. When I take over as co-author, the benefits are gone, and I have to bear infamy and guilt. Grandma, this is not how things are done!

How to reorganize the Beijing camp to the emperor's satisfaction was something Zhang Weixian had always considered. As for whether the reorganized Beijing camp could be restored to its original state, Zhang Weixian didn't think much about it.

From going to the palace a few times to meet the saints, to knowing some things, especially the soldiers from Sichuan and Zhejiang who entered Beijing under the imperial edict, Zhang Weixian gradually figured out what the emperor thought. He, the admiral, including Sun Chengzong, the assistant director , and more is to solve the corruption in the Beijing camp and reduce the pressure on the state treasury.

Although the emperor is young, he looks at the problem very thoroughly.

Since the Guochao allocates food and salaries every year, what is raised is a bunch of waste, and most of the money is used up and down, then the Beijing camp should not be so bloated, the deficit that should be investigated, and the establishment that should be abolished should be withdrawn. Zhu Youxiao did not say these words I made it clear to Zhang Weixian, but that's what it meant, and Zhang Weixian figured it out.

However, Zhang Weixian never found this entry point until there was a mass demonstration in the Imperial College, and the emperor ordered Xunwei to arrest the troubled supervisors. Zhang Weixian felt that the time had come.

"I think I've been thinking about this for a long time."

Zhang Weixian calmed down, looked at Sun Chengzong with a smile, then showed annoyed expression, slapped his forehead and said: "Look at my memory, I forgot to tell Mr. Zhisheng about something, just now I thought about talking to Mr. Zhisheng first." , as soon as I mentioned the matter of the Imperial College, I forgot about it."

Ok?
Sun Chengzong frowned slightly and looked at Zhang Weixian who was smiling apologetically. At this moment, he realized that talking about the Imperial College was just an introduction, and what he was talking about now was the real business.

"The nobles who have been appointed to the Beijing camp have all been invited by me to the Chinese military governor's mansion."

Zhang Weixian lifted his robe and stood up, looking outside, "Calculating the time, they should have arrived. They are really old, and their memory is a bit bad. Don't blame me, Mr. Zhisheng. I specially ordered the people in the house to go I have reserved a few tables, and later on, I will offer a few cups to Mr. Zhisheng in public, and it will be regarded as an apology."

"British Sir, what do you want to do?"

Sun Chengzong stood up, looked at Zhang Weixian and said.

"Don't worry, don't worry."

But Zhang Weixian smiled and waved his hand, "Let me show you the way. This banquet is being held at the Governor's Mansion of the Chinese Army. If Duke Pheasant Sheng doesn't come forward, we won't be able to drink it. Come on, Duke Pheasant Sheng, don't call those people I’ve been waiting impatiently, please.”

With that said, Zhang Weixian stretched out his hand to signal to Sun Chengzong.
