I was the emperor in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 225 Unlucky Together
Although Yang Shiqi and others were puzzled, they still followed suit.

Not long after the decree was drawn up, and after it was sealed, someone rushed to the Nine Sides to proclaim the decree.

The cabinet fell silent for a while.

After a long time, Yang Shiqi couldn't help asking,

"Your Majesty, didn't we discuss it before, shouldn't this matter be rushed!"

Li Tian shook his head and said,
"Having said that, plans can't always keep up with the changes.

Only Lu Zhen participated in it before, so I can turn a blind eye and turn a blind eye, and the big things are turned into small things. "

"But at this time, even the Minister of the Ministry of War is involved, how do you ask me to deal with it?"

Yang Shiqi and the others froze,
"It was due to the negligence of the ministers and others that they failed to notice this matter. Please punish your Majesty."

Slowly unfolding a border defense map, Li Tian pointed at Xuanfu and Datongdao,

"I don't need to tell you how important the position of Xuanfu and Datong is, you should all understand it.

Once an accident occurs in any of these two places, it may lead to inestimable and serious consequences. "

"The situation has not yet developed to the point of being out of control.

However, when Li Qing made a report to the court, it was tantamount to making this matter public, and I had no choice but to make such a plan! "

Yang Shiqi asked puzzledly,

"But launching military reforms at this time and checking the Tianxia Guards will add fuel to the fire and plunge Nine Sides into a bigger vortex!"

Li Tian smiled lightly and shook his head,
"You don't have to worry about Shiqi, I've thought about it a long time ago. Zhu Rong and the others were greedy for Mo's official food first, and their hearts were in a state of turmoil.

I didn't convict him directly, but declared an order for him to enter the capital, so he didn't dare to make any big moves. "

Several people looked at each other, but they couldn't guess why Li Tian was so confident.

Yang Rong asked aloud, "Why is Your Majesty so confident that Marquis Wu Yuan won't take any action?"

Li Tian has been in Datong's position and said,
"According to the letters that Huang Yan collected from Li Qing, Zhu Rong has not been getting along well with Wu Kezhong, and there is something wrong with the Datong Guard.

He was actually struggling at this time, and he didn't have the strength to dare to challenge the court. "

"This is the first, and the second is to investigate the Tianxia Guard at this time. Not only is it harmless to Zhu Rong, but it may be beneficial."

Huang Zhun nodded,

"I can understand the first point, but I really can't understand the second point!"

The same is true for several other people, looking at Li Tian together.

"Actually, there's nothing wrong with it.

Let me ask you, if a god suddenly appeared at the home of a poor farmer and told him that he could give him ten taels of silver to tide him over.

The price is to give his enemy, 'a wealthy household' 100 taels of silver. Tell me, what will the farmer choose at this time. "

Yang Shiqi shook his head and smiled wryly without speaking.

Ren Jin thought for a while and said bluntly, "He can't live anymore, so he will naturally accept the life-saving money of ten taels of silver."

Several people thought that Ren Jin's words made sense, and they all nodded in agreement.

Li Tian smiled slightly,
"I have a different idea from yours. I think that farmer would rather continue to starve and suffer cold than his enemy's 100 taels."

Several people were puzzled and asked,

"Why is this, how can there be such a person in the world?"

Li Tian explained,
"There's nothing difficult to understand, it's just a matter of looking at the problem from a different angle."

"In the same way, since Zhu Rong and Wu Kezhong have feuds, and the Datong guards can't get enough to eat, he naturally doesn't want the guards in Xuanfu to have enough."

"The level of corruption in Xuanfu's guards is no worse than that of Datong, or even worse. If the investigation continues, Wu Kezhong will only be more unlucky."

"But Zhu Rong is confident of getting the support of most civil servants and generals in the court, so he is naturally not afraid."

"You said at this time, whether it is beneficial or detrimental for him to check the guards."

Yang Shiqi said,

"But even so, isn't Wu Yuanbo afraid that His Majesty will punish him and Gong Shunhou together?"

Li Tian shook his head and said,
"Judging from the reaction of the court today, there are still many people behind Zhu Rong who support him.

Even if I condemn them at the same time, it is estimated that he has a way to minimize the guilt. "

Huang Zhun said angrily,

"With the support of the courtiers, ignoring the law, this is no different from deceiving the emperor. Your Majesty must not let him off lightly."

At this time, they finally understood Li Tian's real intention.

Li Tian proudly said, "Do you still remember that I told you before that there will be great changes in the tactics of military formations in the future?"

"Yes, I will remember."

"It's not that I don't want to deal with him, it's that the time hasn't come yet.

When the reform is successful, the general's role in an army will be reduced to the minimum, by then.

Even if it is a general in the important town on the nine borders, it will not have any effect if I change it as I say. "

Hearing what Li Tian said, several people showed fascination.

Finally, Yang Shiqi asked,

"Then His Majesty hastily summoned the two of them to Beijing, and how he plans to deal with them."

"Just hang them out for a while!"

The matter was settled, so Li Tian called Li Qing, who had been waiting outside the door for a long time, to come in.

At this time, Li Qing completely lost the aggressive momentum of the past, and completely looked like a wronged little daughter-in-law.

With a bitter face, he bowed to Li Tian and said,
"The guilty minister sees His Majesty."

He waved his hand casually, motioning for him to get up and talk.

Li Qing got up quickly, and respectfully greeted all the cabinet ministers, appearing very respectful.

If he did this, he had to do the same.

After taking on the important task of checking the world's guards, it means that all the guards in the world regard him as an enemy, and it is almost difficult for him to find any allies in the court.

If he doesn't get the support of several cabinet ministers at this time, it is estimated that it will be difficult for him to find one or two subordinates.

Yang Shiqi smiled and said,
"Everyone is a minister in the same hall, why should Li Shangshu be so polite."

Li Qing said with a wry smile, "Master Ge is laughing at me, Defu (Li Qing's character) is now a criminal, and I still need your support in the future!"

Li Tian pointed to the vacant seat next to him and said to him,

"Just find a place to sit down. I didn't intend to target you today. If I work hard in the future, I will naturally not treat you badly."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your trust, old minister... old minister..."

As he spoke, he choked up with red eyes.

It is really unbearable for a dignified Minister of the Ministry of War, five or sixty years old, to cry like this.

"Okay, I have already discussed with Shi Qi and the others about the investigation of the Tianxia Guards.

Specifically how to do things, you discuss and come up with a charter, and they will cooperate with you in the future, so you can put your heart in your stomach. "

With Li Tian's promise, Li Qing finally stopped his sobs, and swore that he would definitely get this matter done.

Li Tian couldn't help smiling, asked him a few more words, and left the cabinet.
