I was the emperor in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 198 Abolish the Military Household System?

Yang Shiqi and the others broke out in cold sweat and secretly exchanged glances, with a big question mark in their hearts.

"Your Majesty, what happened today? Wasn't it just fine before? Even Lu Zhen's capital crime was pardoned.

Why did he get angry when it came to the frontier generals who had to be treated more cautiously? "

They couldn't figure it out for a while, thinking that Li Tian had taken the wrong medicine.

"Your Majesty, please ask for your instructions! I wait... I just obey my orders!" In the end, it was Yang Shiqi who spoke first.

Li Tian calmly threw another item in front of them.

"You take a good look, look carefully, and then tell me how to deal with the frontier army!"

His anger was actually not because a few people persuaded him to compromise, but because he was angry that they came up to persuade him before they even figured out the cause and effect.

This is very similar to what my parents often said to me when I was young, "This is all for your own good!"

He Li Tian is no longer a child, and he has been the emperor for a month.

In addition to Zhu Gaochi's original memory, he has been a human being in two lifetimes, and his age and experience are no worse than anyone present.

What he lacks is just more timing experience.

In terms of insight and courage, he doesn't believe that these old antiques who lack four or five hundred years of historical experience can surpass him.

Being regarded as a child who needs to be cared for and reminded all the time is the real reason for his outbreak this time.

What was thrown to them was sorted out by Li Tian and a group of young eunuchs last night.

Detailed rules about the lack of pay for the frontier guards and the lack of military rations caused by the large loss of military households.

Suddenly saw this detail.

Even a few cabinet ministers who were over half a century old and used to seeing strong winds and waves were covered in white sweat from shock.

After Yang Shiqi saw it, his face turned pale, and he even stammered,
"Your Majesty...Your Majesty, where did this detailed rule come from? Is it true?"

Li Tian said solemnly, "I checked and sorted it out myself, and it's absolutely correct!"

Yang Shiqi let out a mournful cry, as if he had aged more than ten years in an instant.

"Oh my god, how many years has Daming just passed.

The guard system established by Taizu's painstaking efforts has been abandoned and corrupted to this point in just a few decades.

If things go on like this, the foundation of Ming Dynasty will inevitably be in turmoil, what should we do! "

Several other people also had sadness in their eyes, and their hearts were shocked.

"Your Majesty, there must be a big hidden secret in it. I am willing to investigate this matter thoroughly. If I don't find out the truth, I am willing to apologize with death."

The excited Ren Jin said with reddened eyes.

Yang Rong and Huang Zhun were silent, but they could also see that the two of them were just like Ren Jin, and they were very restless.

It can be seen that the few of them really did not know about the guard beforehand.

Li Tian was somewhat relieved.

As long as they don't hide and don't report it, that's it.

Although the paralysis of the guard system has appeared, it has not yet reached the level of public knowledge, and there is still room for salvation.

"Zong Yu is willing to take on this matter, I am very relieved! But this matter still needs to be discussed in detail.

It can't be decided in a day or two, how to deal with it, who will be responsible, let's wait and see! "

"You all get up, I'm not blaming you, it's just a moment of anger!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"

After they all got up and sat down, Li Tian said again,
"The court's tax burden has gradually decreased, which has led to the inability to pay the frontier army in full, which is also one of the main reasons for this matter."

"I opened the Royal Bank to raise idle money from the people, and a large part of the reason is for this."

Hearing that Li Tian had thought so far-reachingly, several people immediately calmed down a lot.

Yang Shiqi wiped the cold sweat he just broke out with his sleeve, and said with a smile,

"Your Majesty has far-reaching plans, and the ministers are far behind, and the ministers are ashamed!"

"Your Majesty, please punish me severely if I owe the Emperor's kindness!"

Saying that they want to plead guilty again.

Li Tian quickly waved his hands and pretended to be annoyed, "Okay, when will you kneel and kneel?"

"You guys should hurry up and give me an idea to see how to solve this matter."

Ren Jin is the youngest among them, but also the most passionate.

"I think that we should take a heavy hand to thoroughly investigate the affairs of the guards in the world, and wipe out all those who are corrupt and dereliction of duty."

Li Tian sighed, "You think I don't want to do this, but there are many guards all over the world.

It took a long time to investigate one by one. Even if some of them are punished after this strict investigation, it is inevitable that there will be no recurrence in the future. "

"This method is not stingy with drinking poison to quench thirst, it won't last long!"

Yang Shiqi has a steady personality, and he was the first to see this.

He continued Li Tian's words, "The reason for the change in the Datong Guard is probably not only caused by corruption, but there may be deeper reasons."

Hearing this, Li Tian sighed in his heart, "Yang Shiqi is worthy of being the head of the cabinet ministers. He really has a vicious vision, and he immediately saw the root of the problem."

It's just that his vision is still limited, and he doesn't have the insight of hundreds of years later like himself.

Although I can see that there is a deep reason, I don't see the specific reason.

But Li Tian didn't point it out directly. It would be boring to say what's in his heart directly. It would be more interesting to let them realize it by themselves.

So he smiled and asked,

"What Shi Qi said is reasonable, but he doesn't know what the so-called deeper reason is."

After Yang Shiqi frowned and pondered for a while, he said quietly,
"I am afraid that the deeper reason lies in the unfavorable regulation."

"Tell me in detail!"

Seeing that Li Tian didn't refute, Yang Shiqi thought he had found a real solution to the dilemma, and immediately became emotional.

"As we all know, guards are spread all over the world, not to mention the Thousand Households, they can still get into the eyes of the Ministry of War.

However, there are as many as one hundred households, and even in remote places, the staff may not be fully equipped. "

"In this way, it is natural that there is no comprehensive supervision."

"Because there is no supervision, the chief officers of the guards in various places can be unscrupulous and bully military households for personal gain in the local area.

It is no surprise that this wind of corruption has developed. "

Yang Rong disagreed.

"Although Shi Qi's words are reasonable, I believe that thousands of households are oppressing military households.

Although it often happens, it does not mean that it is the case in all guards in the world.

In the Datong Guard, almost half of the military households in the guard were less than half of what they were when they were full.

The situation is so serious that it is impossible to be caused by the oppression of individual households. "

Li Tian thought that Yang Rong had finally enlightened and had discovered something, so he asked with a smile, "I don't know what insight Zirong has."

Yang Rong bowed his head respectfully and said, "I'm just expressing my opinion, it's not a high opinion."

"It's okay, let's hear it."

"I think the problem may still lie in the treatment of military households."
