The most reckless man in the Ming Dynasty.

Chapter 183 Gather military power! You are looking for death!

Qianqing Palace.

Zhu Houzhao ordered someone to get a map of Shandong Kanyu.

"Da Xun, do you think the savages are in danger?"

The little emperor asked worriedly, with a look of regret on his face.

He hated himself for being so stupid that he didn't even notice such a simple trick, so he just listened to the slanderous words of those thieves!

But the imperial edict had already been issued, and Zhu Houzhao didn't have the nerve to intercept it.

If it was an oral edict, it wouldn't matter, as long as it was intercepted, but this was an imperial decree drawn up by the cabinet and then issued, and there was no mention of interception.

Moreover, what Zhang Jin, the general envoy, said is indeed correct. The monsters of the White Lotus Sect are best at deceiving people. The rebellion of the witch Tang Saier happened again in Qingzhou, Shandong Province, so this time the rebellion of the White Lotus Sect really needs to be put down immediately. , otherwise it will affect the entire Shandong area, which is also needed by the overall situation.

What Zhu Houzhao is worried about now is whether the savage Tang Hao can withstand the pressure and put down the rebellion as soon as possible if someone plots against him!

When Chen Kuan heard this question, he was confused for a moment.

Is this like what is commonly said, care leads to chaos?
"Your Majesty, do you have a misunderstanding about the capabilities of Marquis Zhongshan?"

Chen Kuan considered his words and spoke tentatively.

"Tang Hou is a peerless general who is brave enough to kill fierce tigers. He has inherited the mantle of two famous generals, Zhang Fu and Zhu Yong. He also has 13,000 elite soldiers with complete weapons under his command..."

"To be honest, even if there are 5,000 or even 10,000 rebels, the old slave probably won't be enough to kill Tang Hou and the others, right?"

The little emperor was immediately amused by Chen Kuan's words, and a lot of worries in his heart were relieved.

"That's what I said, but the problem is, this time the savages are in the light, and those dogs are in the dark. God knows what dirty tricks those people will use!"

Chen Kuan couldn't refute this.

As the oldest eunuch in the inner court, Chen Kuan had seen too many tricks of civil servants and gentry.

These gentry and gentry are not only full of talent and learning, but also full of bad ideas!

"Your Majesty, the tricks they can use are nothing more than the same tricks they used in the past, such as "ineffective counterinsurgency", "killing good people for credit", "slaughtering the common people", etc. In the end, they are all trying to find ways to target the Marquis of Zhongshan. Fuck the shit basin!”

"This sudden White Lotus Rebellion is, to put it bluntly, aimed at Tang Hao alone. It will either force the court to recall Tang Hao, or force the court to remove Tang Hou from his military power."

Chen Kuan's eyes were so vicious that he could see the true purpose of the mastermind at a glance.

"They are afraid that if Tang Hou continues to pursue the case, it will not only damage their interests, but also implicate themselves, so they concoct this rebellion frantically."

When Zhu Houzhao heard this, he punched Kanyutu hard.

"If I remember correctly, if there is a rebellion in the local area, the Guard Inspection Department will set up checkpoints and send troops to quell the rebellion as soon as possible, right?"

"The guard station is under the management of Shandong Dusi, while the inspection department is under the management of the local government. Does that mean that not only the civil servants and gentry are involved in this matter, but also the officers and generals of the guard station?"

Chen Kuan smiled and said: "Your Majesty is wise!"

This is the answer.

His Majesty the Emperor is used to using his brain. This is good news, and it is also the reason that Marquis Zhongshan has always hoped to see His Majesty grow.

Zhu Houzhao took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and thought about solutions.

"Someone, go find Tishuai!"

After much thought, the little emperor still couldn't rest assured.

Even if he believed in Tang Hao's ability, this time Tang Hao and others faced the calculations of the entire Shandong officialdom. Even the officers and generals of the guard became Tang Hao's enemies!

Zhu Houzhao would not let the savages fight alone and be attacked from both sides!

"Your Majesty, do you want to use the Jinyi Guards?" Chen Kuan asked tentatively.

"That's right!" Zhu Houzhao nodded, "I'm worried about the safety of the savages. He has to fight the rebels and guard against the plots of these villains. The pressure he faces is too great!"

"I am going to ask Tishuai Moubin to personally lead Tiqi to Jinan Mansion. He will first control the three divisions in that place, and then slowly find out what is going on here, so that the savages can concentrate on suppressing the rebellion!"

Hearing this, Chen Kuan couldn't help but sigh.

His Majesty the Emperor's favor towards Marquis Zhongshan still exceeded everyone's expectations.

This is no longer a simple relationship between monarch and minister, but mixed with some enviable special feelings.

At least in the entire court, the only person who can make His Majesty have such feelings is Tang Hao, the Marquis of Zhongshan!
Marquis of Zhongshan, Marquis of Zhongshan, I hope you will always be loyal to the country!

Otherwise, in the future of the Ming Dynasty, I am afraid there will really be a peerless powerful official who is inferior to one person and surpasses ten thousand people!
"Your Majesty, this is actually an opportunity."

Chen Kuan reminded in a low voice: "It is an ironclad fact that local military officers in Shandong colluded with civilian officials for corruption. With the temper of Zhongshan Marquis, he will definitely bloodbath the entire Shandong officialdom. Civil officials will be fine, and the officials will recommend talented people, but Your Majesty can think carefully about these local health centers."

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Houzhao's eyes suddenly flashed.

"Da Xun means... military power?"

"That's right!" Chen Kuan nodded without hesitation, "Now, the military power in your Majesty's hands, apart from the Imperial Guards of the Four Guards, is only the Beijing Army in the hands of Marquis Tang, while the local guards and the Nine Border Army, But it’s not a good thing.”

"It is not difficult to see from the White Lotus Rebellion in Shandong that the officers of the local guard station have already colluded with the local gentry and civil servants to corrupt and bribe the common people. This is also an important reason for the corruption of the guard station!"

"In this case, it is better to take advantage of this opportunity to eliminate these guard officers, select a group of capable talents, and train the guard army according to Tang Hou's training method. If it is feasible, the emperor can promote it to The whole world is gathering military power step by step!"

To put it bluntly, Chen Kuan's words were a bit treasonous. After all, no one dared to mention the "military power" directly in front of His Majesty the Emperor. Even the three court officials Liu Jian, Ma Wensheng and Zhang Fuhua Even the true king would not dare.

But the reason why Chen Kuan spoke was because of Tang Hao and the little emperor.

Chen Kuan has seen the efforts Tang Hao and the young emperor have made so far in order to revive the Ming Dynasty.

The most powerful person in the inner court also understood that the young emperor was not the late emperor, and there was no Marquis of Zhongshan beside the late emperor. They really dared to think and do it!

That being the case, why not support them?
What if they succeed?
Zhu Houzhao's expression perked up after hearing this, and he immediately became interested.

"Yes, why didn't I think of that?"

"Go and call the regimental generals An Guo and Hang Xiong immediately, as well as Guo Xun!"

Following Chen Kuan's thinking, if we really want to select a group of generals, we must select them from among the soldiers of the Beijing Army.

Because these soldiers are all soldiers under the savage Tang Hao, they are all his own people after all, and they are familiar with Tang Hao's military training process. They can start implementing it immediately after arriving at the place, and there is no difficulty.

"Your Majesty, please don't be impatient!"

Chen Kuan spoke to dissuade him again.

"This matter still needs to be discussed with Marquis Tang. The difficulty lies in money and food!"

"Tang Hou's military training method can indeed greatly enhance the army's combat power, but the money and food consumed are far more than ten times that of other armies!"

"If we really want to implement Tang Hou's military training method, we must reorganize the guard posts. For example, in the case of farming, now there are three points along the border to defend the city and seven points for farming; in the interior, two points are used to defend the city and eight points for farming. A large amount of land originally belonging to "military settlements" has been occupied by military generals at all levels and even powerful and high-ranking officials in the DPRK. The lower-level soldiers have been reduced to serfs, and the settlements are in name only... These problems need to be solved! "

Chen Kuan's words were like pouring cold water on the excited little emperor.

But this matter is related to military power and Zhu Houzhao's authority, so Zhu Houzhao still asked unwillingly: "I understand what you mean. You said that I want to wait for the savages to deal with the corrupt officials in Shandong, and then use this excuse to attack the Shandong guards." Restructured, right?"

"In this way, let Tishuai lead Tiqi to Jinan first, and send a message to the barbarians to ask for his opinion. Let's do it step by step!"

Zhu Houzhao looked at the map of Kanyu, Shandong, with a terrifying light flashing in his eyes.

If this method is feasible, then he can gather military power step by step and reproduce the feat of Emperor Taizu Gao of "raising a million soldiers" in the past!

At the same time, as soon as the three true kings left the Qianqing Palace, they immediately gathered in Liu Jian's room.

"Who did this?"

Liu Jian looked at Ma Wensheng and Zhang Fuhua coldly.

The two of them looked at him in unison.

Ma Wensheng said in a deep voice: "Liu Xixian, half of our bodies have been buried in the ground, how can we still have the energy to fight with the Marquis of Zhongshan?"

"On the other hand, those guys under your command have always been restless, such as this Zhang Jin!"

General Affairs Envoy Zhang Jin, a native of Taiyuan, Shanxi Province, was a Jinshi in the fifth year of Chenghua. He was first appointed as the magistrate of Junzhou, and later as the magistrate of Cangzhou. Because of Jin's effective governance and the support of the people, the imperial court promoted him to the rank of doctor of the Ministry of Industry in Nanjing, and later he was appointed as the magistrate of Hangzhou. Prefect. In the 13th year of Hongzhi, Zhang Jin was promoted to the imperial censor of the Imperial Procuratorate. In the 14th year of Hongzhi, he was promoted to the right deputy censor of the capital. In the first year of Zhengde, he was appointed as the general envoy. He was one of the nine great officials in the court and officially entered the power of the Ming Dynasty. core.

Looking at Zhang Jin's resume, it is not difficult to see that since he became a Jinshi, he has been rising steadily through the ranks. This is inseparable from his being an upright official and governing well, but from another perspective, it also verifies this fact. Jin had someone to support him, otherwise he would never have been able to reach the position of General Secretary in such a short period of time.

Liu Jian took a deep breath and did not hide anything from Ma Wensheng and Zhang Fuhua.

"Zhang Chaoyong was indeed recommended and promoted by me, but it is also true that he is an upright and capable official. I don't understand why he was involved in this matter!"

Zhang Fuhua said coldly: "Now is not the time to talk about Zhang Jin, but to find out who is the mastermind behind the scenes. How dare you be so crazy!"

"As soon as the Marquis of Zhongshan arrived in Shandong, there was a rebellion by the demons of the White Lotus Sect. He even forced His Majesty the Emperor to order the Marquis of Shan to lead his army to quell the rebellion!"

"What is so evil in this Shandong territory that forces them to do this and stop the Marquis of Zhongshan?"

The dirt on Shandong’s borders?

The three virtuous veterans looked at each other, and then their expressions changed drastically!

What else could be sordid?
There is a Japanese capital in Shandong!
Over the years, the coastal guards have become increasingly corrupt, and the Japanese capital has become ineffective. Behind this is a large number of gentry and gentry who have provided goods to collude with Japanese pirates to smuggle for profit!

What a courage!

After understanding this, the three giants immediately realized the seriousness of the problem.

"With Marquis Zhongshan's temperament, he may have led his army to put down the rebellion."

Liu Jian sighed. Based on his understanding of Tang Hao, he didn't understand that the Marquis of Zhongshan was also worried about the country, so he would definitely send troops in the face of this conspiracy.

However, after the rebellion is suppressed, the Marquis of Zhongshan will go on a killing spree in Shandong!
"The Marquis of Zhongshan is about to go on a killing spree!"

Ma Wensheng also let out a heavy breath.

They were all seasoned ministers who had matured into experts, and they were able to spy out the truth of the entire incident almost in the blink of an eye.

Someone didn't want Tang Hao to investigate the matter of colluding with Japanese pirates for smuggling, so they deliberately planned a rebellion by the demons of the White Lotus Sect to contain Tang Hao, the Marquis of Zhongshan!

But they have no idea who they are provoking now!

That is the ferocious Marquis of Zhongshan!

The crazy and reckless man who turned the entire capital court upside down!
"These bastards are so brave!"

Liu Jian's face turned livid and he slapped the desk hard.

Zhang Fuhua also sighed and complained: "I have warned you a long time ago that you should be stricter with the people below. You must not reach out in places where you shouldn't reach out. If anyone dares to reach out, he will be chopped off!"

"Your Majesty has re-appointed the Marquis of Zhongshan to forge ahead and reform. He has been dissatisfied with the civil servants and gentry for a long time. Now those bastards in Shandong have caused such a farce. When Marquis Zhongshan goes on a killing spree in Shandong, I will see how you end it!"

When Liu Jian and Ma Wensheng heard this, their faces were full of bitterness. Of course they knew the current situation, and of course they wanted their officials to abide by the law, but how could they do it so easily?

The court could not collect taxes, and the people were taxed heavily. Who misappropriated the tax money and grain that should have been the court? The answer is self-evident.

There are so many officials in the world, and there are so many gentry in the world. Even if Liu Jian is the chief minister of the cabinet, his control is only over this court. Even Zhang Jin, his confidants who have always been optimistic about promotion, can't control him. He still Is there any way to control local officials?

This time, the civil servants and gentry really caused big trouble!

"It turned out that it was just the gentry who colluded with Japanese pirates to smuggle and commit corruption!"

"Now it's fine, it's turned into a rebellion of gentry officials colluding with the demons of the White Lotus Sect!"

"Hey!" Ma Wensheng sneered, "What a coward!"

"Why don't we just let these bastards die? They have controlled the government for so long that they have almost forgotten who is the real master of the Ming Dynasty!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ma Wensheng looked at Liu Jian and warned in a cold voice: "Liu Xixian, you, the official, must not show up again this time, otherwise His Majesty will definitely kick you out of the court. Do you understand?"

Zhang Fuhua also dissuaded him in a deep voice: "Yuanfu, this time is different from the past. This time those people have gone too far. They ignored the life and death of the people and set up a trap to deceive the emperor and harm the Marquis of Zhongshan. This is already an accomplice to the crime of deceiving the emperor." If you get involved, you will not end well!"

It's not that the two giants really have any deep friendship with Liu Jian. In fact, it is better for Liu Jian to sit in the position of chief minister of the cabinet. Otherwise, if a new person is replaced, there will be new variables in the court.

Liu Jian was a standard official. He devoted his life to maintaining the stability of the court and ensuring the normal operation of the Ming Dynasty, thereby regulating and mediating between the various forces.

In the court, such a chief minister of the cabinet is needed, otherwise the conflict between His Majesty the Emperor and the civil servants and gentry will only get bigger and bigger. When the contradiction becomes irreconcilable, it will be the time when the civil servants and gentry have to pay the price. !

Liu Jian naturally understands these truths.

After a long silence, he finally made up his mind.

"General Xian, immediately send the censor to find out what is going on!"

"Local Third Division, which link went wrong, and which bastard did this good thing!"

"Otsuka Zai, please prepare a list of officials from the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Shandong officialdom is about to undergo a major purge!"

Ma Wensheng and Zhang Fuhua both nodded, then stood up and left.

Liu Jian sat alone in the check-in room, his face uncertain for a while.

I don't know how long it took, but Zhang Jin, the general envoy, hurried over.

After Zhang Jin walked into the check-in room, before he could speak, Liu Jian looked at this talented official coldly.

"Who asked you to do this?"

Zhang Jin was startled when he heard this, and his face gradually turned pale.

"Lord Yuanfu, I am lowering my rank..."

"Liu Daxia or Li Dongyang?"

Zhang Jin didn't answer, but his expression was the best answer.

When Liu Jian saw this, his face was livid with anger. He grabbed the tea cup and smashed it on Zhang Jin's door. In an instant, it was dripping with blood and fell to the ground.

"You damn fool!"

"Just for that little favor, your reputation for being upright and upright in this life will be ruined!"

"When the Marquis of Zhongshan goes on a killing spree in Shandong's officialdom, and when His Majesty the Emperor takes the opportunity to attack the gentry, what will you do, Zhang Jin?"

"You are trying to destroy the gentry and the gentry!"

Hearing this, Zhang Jin also panicked a little.

"No! Lord Yuansuke, that's not the case!"

"They just want to take the opportunity to seize the military power of Marquis Zhongshan, that's all..."

"Ha!" Liu Jian laughed miserably, "Took away the military power of Marquis Zhongshan?"

"Ineffective in countering the rebellion? Or are you killing the good and taking credit for it? Do you think these little tricks can take away the military power of the Marquis of Zhongshan?"

"You don't know this Marquis of Zhongshan at all. Maybe he has put down the rebellion now and has led his troops straight to Jinan Mansion!"

Liu Jian found it very ironic and ridiculous. He didn't even know the enemy's capabilities, yet he dared to set up a trap against them!

"Why did Tang Hao go directly to Dengzhou Shuicheng instead of Jinan Mansion?"

"Because Tang Hao understands the rules, the frontier officials of the three local divisions must not touch them casually, otherwise they will slap the imperial court in the face, which will reduce the imperial court's prestige in the hearts of the people and lead to chaos in the world!"

"So Tang Hao patiently endured the murderous intention and prepared to go to Dengzhou to investigate the case slowly, but those bastards couldn't sit still and planned this farce, giving Tang Hao a chance to kill. !”

"Wait!" Liu Jian shouted with an angry face: "When the Marquis of Zhongshan massacres the entire Shandong officialdom, and when the factory guards arrest you and send you to prison, you will know how stupid you are!"

Factory guard!

Imprisonment!

Zhang Jin's face instantly turned pale, without any trace of blood.

This time, Zhang Jin was really harmed by Liu Daxia!
