I was the emperor in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 224 Inventory Guard
Li Tian sneered,
"Why didn't you speak just now, and now you are pleading for him, my order has been issued.

Could it be, do you want me to be a foolish emperor who changes every day? "

What he said was so serious that even Yang Shiqi's face changed drastically, and he quickly fell to his knees, screaming,

"Your Majesty forgive me, this is not what I mean."

The others were so frightened that they didn't care to say another word.

Although Li Tian was angry before, after reading the letters between Li Qing and Zhu Rong, his anger has actually dropped a lot.

The reason why he has such an attitude is entirely to pretend to be seen by everyone.

The heavy punishment of Li Qing was also because he wanted to test everyone's attitude on purpose.

And he did it for one purpose.

He has decided that he will announce today that the border military will be rectified.

After all this deterrence, both civil servants and generals were already frightened, for fear that Li Tian would be upset and even they would be implicated.

Under such circumstances, the launch of the military reform strategy, I believe the voice of opposition will be much smaller.

So he pondered for a while, turned his face and asked in a cold voice,

"I have heard about the corruption of the frontier guards, but the corruption of the Tianxia Guards is not limited to Datong."

"Why, the Xuan Mansion guarded by Wu Kezhong didn't have such a thing?"

"Could it be that without your one hundred thousand dans of grain, the frontier soldiers will starve to death!"

The sound of questioning came to my ears, like thunder, and Li Qing was so distracted that he hurriedly confessed his guilt.

"Your Majesty, please punish me severely, I have no objection"

"Hmph, what's the use of punishing you severely? Could it be that after you are punished, the situation of the frontier army will improve?"

Choked by Li Tian's words, Li Qing lowered his head even lower.

The atmosphere is almost ready, Li Tian's eyes flashed, and he said seriously,
"Now, I'm giving you a chance to make meritorious deeds. If you can handle this matter well, it's not impossible for me to forgive the mistakes I made before."

The sudden opportunity revived Li Qing's hope of life, and he quickly said,
"Your Majesty, please tell me that even if I'm so heartbroken, I will do my best to fulfill Your Majesty's instructions."

Hearing what he said, Li Tian secretly rejoiced, what he was waiting for was your words.

"Okay, then from today onwards, you will inspect the guards of the world on my behalf, and investigate all the guards' emptiness and corruption one by one!"

As soon as this remark came out, the whole room immediately exclaimed.

Veteran Xue Lu fell to his knees directly,
"Your Majesty, this matter is so important that the edict must not be issued lightly!"

Cheng Guogong Zhu Yong also said,

"Think twice, Your Majesty, if this happens, the guards of the world will definitely shake, and I'm afraid the situation on the nine sides will change!"

Li Tian saw that the people who spoke out against him were all generals in the army, and he knew why they were so opposed.

Cold voice,
"You don't need to say too much, I have decided on this matter!"

If Li Qing told the story of Zhu Rong today, Li Tian might think about the impact of this matter.

However, the fact that Zhu Rong instigated others to embezzle Mo's official food has now become known to all courts, and even if he wanted to keep a low profile, he couldn't.

Taking advantage of this opportunity to forcefully launch a new military reform policy is the best way to curb this situation.

Seeing that Li Tian said so, both Li Qing and Yang Rong and others knew that Li Tian had made up his mind completely.

Li Qing got up tremblingly, struggled for a while, and finally gritted his teeth and said,
"The minister leads the order!"

He didn't say anything extra.He knew that this was not the time to talk about it.

Li Qing knew in his heart that once he took over this important task, he would be like a general of the Heavenly Guard.

Even the nobles of the imperial court broke up, and it was impossible to return to the previous state.

I don't know how bitter it is.

But he can't help it. If he doesn't take off this important task, he may really have a few days to live.

In Li Tian's view, the heavy responsibility of tracking down the deficit of Tianxiawei is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

And Li Qing is not only the minister of the Ministry of War, but also not weak. Although he had colluded with the generals before, he had some collusion.

But after today's beating, the generals' reluctance to save him has completely chilled him.

In this way, no one is more suitable than him to take on this important task.

Fearing that Li Tian was acting impulsively, Yang Shiqi cupped his hands and stepped forward to inquire.

"Your Majesty, do you need to discuss this matter?"

His words seemed to be consoling, but he was actually asking Li Tian for instructions.

Li Tian waved his hand,
"There's no need for Shi Qi to ask, I've already made a decision, and there's no need to discuss this matter again."

With such a firm attitude, Li Tian ignored even the cabinet minister's suggestion.

Only then did the generals know that Li Tian was determined to clean up the guard this time, and all of them turned pale.

Those guards are their foundation and an important source of their wealth, once they are investigated.

Not to mention whether they will be affected and liquidated, even if they are not liquidated, their future entries will definitely be greatly reduced.

He couldn't help but secretly hated Li Qinglai.

It turned out that before Li Qing went to court today, he heard that Li Tian ordered people to investigate him, in order not to be caught by the people of Dongchang.

After discussing with a group of generals, he decided to be the first to reveal the matter of reselling official food.

I wanted to use the support of the generals to force Li Tian to turn this matter into a minor one.

But he never expected that the people in Dongchang were so powerful, and they found out the letters between him and Zhu Rong so quickly.

What was even more unexpected was that in a fit of rage, Li Tian wanted to dismiss him, investigate him, and put him to death.

Seeing that Li Tian was angry, the generals didn't say anything to save him for fear of hurting themselves.

In the end, Li Tian even threw out a blockbuster to clean up the Tianxiawei.

When I think of the future, I will never be able to spend money and enjoy myself again.

In addition, in the blink of an eye, Li Qing turned from a person who was waiting to die to a ghost of their death, how could they not be angry.

But in front of Li Tian, ​​they didn't dare to really do anything to Li Qing, so they could only hide their resentment in their hearts.

After announcing this matter, Li Tian did not intend to continue arguing with them.

"Since there is nothing else to do, Shi Qi and you guys will discuss matters with me in the back hall. Li Shangshu will wait a moment, and everyone else will retreat!"

Seeing this, Jiang Bao shouted at the top of his voice, "Retire!"

Although those generals who were eager to try were unwilling, they could only give up temporarily.

One by one, they walked out with their shoulders crossed, whispering to each other, discussing the future countermeasures.

Yang Shiqi and others joined the cabinet with Li Tian.

Before Yang Shiqi and the others could ask questions, Li Tian took the lead and said,

"The decree is to order Wu Yuanbo Zhu Rong and Wu Kezhong, the Marquis of Gongsun, to come to Beijing to report on their duties without delay!"
