I was the emperor in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 984 Looking forward and backward is not my style

Yang Shiqi said at this time,
"But now, the only thing we know is the monk Puji who participated in the fire in the capital.

But for others, we still don’t know anything about it. The time is almost here. So, isn’t Nanjing City very dangerous now? "

Li Tian also said solemnly,

"That's right, whether Nanjing can survive or not is still two things to say. Now it seems that we have to make two preparations first."

"Despite your majesty's orders, the ministers must do their best!"

"Actually, at a time when it's still unclear who this enemy is, there's not much we can do now.

In addition to preventing possible accidents, the only way to speed up the pace is to arrive in Nanjing one day earlier and stabilize everything earlier, which is the most important thing. "

Hearing that Li Tian did not intend to give up, he still wanted to go to Nanjing in person.

The four persuaded him almost in unison,

"Think twice, Your Majesty. In such a dangerous situation, Your Majesty still puts the country's affairs first, and you can't risk it so easily!"

Li Tian shook his head and said,
"You are wrong, just because it is a critical moment, I should go there in person, the matter has reached this point, we have absolutely no room to retreat.

There is no better solution than to move forward unswervingly. "

Yang Shiqi tentatively asked,

"Your Majesty, this matter does not have to be done now, we can wait until all those who have evil intentions are found out and all dangers are cleared before dealing with this matter.

In this way, wouldn't the danger be greatly reduced? "

Li Tian said firmly,

"No, Shi Qi, your idea is completely wrong.

Let me ask you, how many years has it been since Emperor Jianwen disappeared for this group of people! "

Yang Shiqi was stunned for a moment, and said in a low voice,

"It's been more than 20 years."

"Hehe, yes, more than 20 years.

Did any of you know of their existence before they were exposed?

No one knows, even I was shocked when I heard the news, let alone you.

Since they have been able to hide for more than 20 years without being discovered, can it be said that they will not be able to hide for the next year or two! "

"They wanted to wait until Nanjing thought there was trouble in the relegation, and took advantage of the chaos to launch a rebellion.

If I don't give them this chance, how will they expose themselves?
If so, just because you are afraid of your own safety, you will have to delay this matter for a year or two.

So should we continue to carry out the reforms of Ming Dynasty?

Do we need to check all the guards in the world!
Today, if you really shrink back because of this matter, you may shrink back again because of other things in the future!
I am not the kind of person who can wait for anything, and Daming is not a dynasty that has to take a step back when encountering anything.

If you encounter a problem, just solve it.

If there is a rebellion, just put him down.

Could it be that, do you think that I and my new army can't even put down this little civil strife! "

What Yang Shiqi and the others said were speechless.

Today's Li Tian is no longer the emperor who always looked forward and backward when doing things, for fear that something might go wrong.

He has confidence in himself, more in the new army, and in the future of the country.

In any era, at any time, nothing will always go smoothly, especially in national affairs.

The people of the country need the confidence to forge ahead, and as an emperor and the ruler of a country, they need this confidence even more.

If he blindly compromises and endures blindly, then what's the point of the emperor in front of him.

"Your servant understands, now I'm going to urge all parties to make preparations and make preparations for departure to Nanjing as soon as possible."

But Li Tian didn't finish all he said, and when he saw that they were about to leave, he stopped them again.

"Don't be in a hurry for the time being, I've already got someone to prepare for the matter of speeding up the preparations, so you don't need to worry about it.

The reason why I called you all here today.

I don't want you to give me an idea, but I want you to make preparations to continue to maintain the operation of the government after I leave. "

"I'm going, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back within two or three months.

In two months, it will be spring, and the temperature will warm up. It is estimated that the Mongolians in the north will not be peaceful.

At that time, I will be far away in Nanjing, and I will be beyond my reach. If something big happens, you must be prepared to deal with it. "

Hearing Li Tian said that he didn't take them with him when he went to Nanjing, the four of them were obviously disappointed.

You know, if the matter about Nanjing really comes to fruition, it will be a great achievement for thousands of years. They are really disappointed that they can't make a fortune with such a great achievement.

However, this time is also an opportunity.

The absence of the emperor is equivalent to giving the four of them full power to manage major affairs of state affairs.

If they can handle the government affairs properly within this period of time without any troubles, their positions will be more stable.

It is said that there is no new merit to be made, but the merit of defending the city can still be won as much as possible.

Immediately, the four of them clasped their hands together,
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, the ministers must keep in mind His Majesty's teachings, and never let His Majesty down."

In fact, this time can be regarded as Li Tian's test for the four of them.

It will take two or three months to get it done in Nanjing, which is not too long but not too short either.

And the distance is not far away.

If something unsolvable happens, he can rush back in time.

But in the future, if he really goes to the west, it may take a year or so.

If there are not a few people in the court who can hold the field and make themselves feel at ease, then it will definitely not work.

In the past, Zhu Di dared to go out on expeditions with peace of mind. Sometimes, he went there for two or three years. The main reason why he could be so relieved was that he, the prince, was there.

But what does he have? Although he also has a prince, Zhu Zhanji, a brat, has not even grown hair yet. He is absolutely worried about entrusting the country to him to manage.

In addition, Li Tian actually has another important purpose, that is, to try a new and possible ruling method.

In the future, the imperial court of the Ming Dynasty will inevitably be full of thousands of threads, and all kinds of trivial matters will continue.

If there is anything, he has to deal with it by himself, even if he is an iron man, a person who is even more workaholic than Yongzheng, he will not be able to keep busy.

To limit some unimportant things to his ministers to do, to share his own pressure, this is what he really wants to achieve.

It has to be said that Zhu Yuanzhang's method of replacing the left and right prime ministers with cabinet ministers is indeed prescient.
