I was the emperor in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 232
Zhu Yong solved his son's matter. It was the happiest time in his heart, and the time when he was most grateful to Li Tian. He blurted out without thinking,

"No matter what decision His Majesty makes, I absolutely agree with it!"

Li Tian's face was slightly bitter, and he continued,
"I believe that even if I don't tell you, you should still have some understanding of the situation in Tianxiawei.

It's not that I'm in a hurry, but that the situation in the guard is almost out of control. "

"This time, it's just that Wu Yuanbo Zhu Rong and others instigated others to embezzle Mok official food in order to raise money.

If it goes on like this, maybe something bigger will happen. "

After a slight pause, Li Tian deliberately pretended to be heartbroken and said,
"I have been the crown prince for more than [-] years, and I have supervised the country for a few years, but at that time, I was trembling every day for fear of failing the late emperor's entrustment!"

"After I succeeded to the Great Treasure, I was tossing and tossing and lamenting day and night, and the late emperor relied on five Northern Expeditions to achieve peace and prosperity.

If it becomes rotten in my hands, after a hundred years, how can I have the face to meet my ancestors and ancestors. "

Hearing that Li Tian actually started to vomit bitterness, everyone was a little dazed.

Especially the half-drunk Zhu Gaoxi, he was even more confused, thinking to himself.

"What's wrong with this big brother? Before, he was an inscrutable and powerful emperor, but now he has become a miserable person."

"Could it be possible! Big brother wants to give up the throne?"

Just when his mind was just getting up and he hadn't had any ideas yet.

However, Li Tian changed the topic and said in a cold tone,

"I also want to be like the first emperor and great ancestor, and make a difference. The Tianxiawei is related to the rise and fall of Ming Dynasty, and it is the foundation of the country.

I will never let him become vulnerable in my hands, and I must do a thorough investigation of the guards. "

After speaking, he turned his gaze to the crowd and examined their attitudes one by one.

Zhu Yong was also temporarily convinced by himself, and it was estimated that he would not be able to oppose him in a short time.

Zheng He was away all year round, and he was an eunuch again.

Although the prestige inside and outside the palace is very high, but he doesn't pay much attention to the affairs of the guard, so he can be excluded.

And Zhu Gaoxi lost Longxiang's four guards at this time, and has become a toothless tiger. Recently, he has been very honest, so he doesn't need to think too much about it.

Only the British Duke Zhang Fu, the important minister among the important ministers, the military general among the generals.

His attitude can be said to represent the attitude of most of the generals. As long as he and Zhu Yong are dealt with, it is tantamount to dealing with one-third of the generals in the world.

Finally, he turned his attention to Zhang Fu.

"My lord, do you think I'm doing the right thing!"

Zhang Fu is brave and good at fighting, although he inherited the mantle of his father Zhang Yu and became the Duke of England.

However, his own ability is obvious to all inside and outside the court, and at this time he is in charge of the Chinese military governor's office.

Controlling half of the soldiers and horses in the world, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the Great Ming Qingtian Yuzhu at this time.

Zhang Fu cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty's decision, as ministers, there is no reason for me not to obey it."

What he said was not salty or blunt, and it was impossible to see what he was thinking.

Li Tian was scratching his head a bit, winning his and Zhu Yong's support was only the first step.

If this step cannot be done well, there may be more obstacles in the future.

Without giving up, Li Tian continued to ask,

"The British prince doesn't want to say more, but he is worried that my actions will annoy all the generals?"

Even though Li Tian was so straightforward, Zhang Fu was still calm.

His face remained unchanged, but his heart was slightly shocked, and he couldn't help but comfort him,
"Your Majesty, since you know that this move will make the generals complain, you should be more cautious, after all..."

He didn't finish his sentence, but Li Tian could tell that what he meant was nothing more than that.

"You have just been enthroned, and you can't wait to move the cakes in the hands of all the generals. They should oppose you!"

Li Tian was not angry at Zhang Fu's consolation, but was glad that he was willing to speak out.

This shows that although he also objected to starting the inspection of the guard at this time, it was not as intense as imagined.

This gave Li Tian a chance to relax.

Sighing slightly, Li Tian continued,

"How can I not understand what the British government is worried about, but the imperial court has reduced tax revenue year after year.

Whether the rations and salaries of the 200 million officers and soldiers of the guards can be paid is almost becoming a problem, and I have no choice but to do something else! "

Zhang Fu and the others frowned slightly. It had become an open secret that the imperial court was unable to make ends meet in recent years.

But what is the purpose of complaining so much in front of the emperor as a minister!

It's almost time to see.

Li Tian laughed suddenly,

"However, I have already thought of a solution. I believe that it will not take long before the problem of reducing the court's tax burden can be resolved."

Zhang Fu was also a little confused at this time, and said in doubt,

"Since this is the case, why does His Majesty go to such great lengths to investigate the Tianxia Guards? Isn't this putting the cart before the horse!"

Li Tian shook his head and said,
"My lord, don't you understand the deep meaning of my move?"

As soon as this remark came out, not only Zhang Fu was shocked, but even Zhu Yong and Zhu Gaosui seemed to have suddenly sobered up, and regained their spirits.

"What does your Majesty mean by this, I... I don't understand!"

At this time, Zheng He, who had never spoken a word, slightly cupped his hands to Li Tian, ​​and said with a smile,
"Let's explain this matter to our family and you."

"I believe you have all heard that His Majesty is preparing for the reform, and the investigation of the Tianxiawei is just a prelude to the reform."

As soon as the word "reform" came out, Zhang Fu and Zhu Yong suddenly heard a bang in their minds, and they almost fell to the ground in shock from the news.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty wants military reform?"

Even Zhu Yong couldn't believe it, and said this sentence almost tremblingly.

Li Tian no longer concealed it, and simply followed Zheng He's mouth and directly threw this blockbuster.

"That's right, I have already discussed this matter with the cabinet twice, and I already have a complete plan. Clarifying the world's guards is only the first step!"

"Next, I will abolish the military household system step by step, so that the descendants of Daming's 200 million military households can freely choose their own future..."

After hearing this, the faces of Zhu Yong and Zhang Fu turned pale instantly.

If it is said that the inspection guards moved the cake of the military generals, it would greatly damage their interests.

The abolition of the military household system is tantamount to completely smashing their jobs and cutting off their way of making money.

The so-called cutting off people's money is like killing their parents. This move is tantamount to completely turning against all generals.

Zhang Fu couldn't calm down anymore, and said hastily.

"Your Majesty must not do so. The military household system was established by the Taizu. If it is abolished rashly, the world may change drastically, and the country will not be a country!"

Li Tian seemed to have expected such a reaction from them a long time ago, so he didn't respond directly.
