Chapter 860 The Carpenter Emperor 115

Zhu Youxiao looked at Cui Jingrong silently, his face gradually filled with dissatisfaction, and the light in his eyes made Cui Jingrong read out why you were so ignorant.

Cui Jingrong stood awkwardly in front of the emperor.

Duke Ying and Duke Dingguo are very happy, so you can, hehe, this time you have a bad nose!Still want to compete with His Majesty for military merit?Is this military merit something that your minister of war can reach out to?

Ding Guogong stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the father and son are willing to follow His Majesty to go to war. The son has accompanied His Majesty on the expedition, and also has certain experience in fighting the enemy before the battle."

He asked for the battle because his son was returning to Beijing on a rest day, and the possibility of being called away by His Majesty was very high, so why not invite the battle to remind the emperor to take his son, it would be easier to use than other generals.

Sure enough, the emperor responded, "Xu Qing is in Beijing to rectify the Beijing camp, and I will take Ding Guogong's son as a forward." Then he looked at Cui Jingrong who was embarrassed by being left out, and comforted him in a different tone.

"Cui Qing, military administration is different from leading troops in battle. The Ministry of War still needs you to sit in the capital. You can't expect to be able to lead troops to fight just because you are a good minister of the Ministry of War. The meritorious deeds handed down from generation to generation."

It was a step up for Cui Jingrong.

As soon as Cui Jingrong heard that he was leading the army to rob the emperor and follow the example of Tai/zu and Chengzu's meritorious deeds, he couldn't help turning his head into two big ones in an instant.

I am afraid that the emperor will go west and follow in the footsteps of the civil castle, okay?But do you dare to say this?Alas, Shenzong was worried about people when nothing happened, and it would be even more worrying for his grandson.

Yang Lian didn't have a chance to speak during the Tianzi Beizheng last year, but he didn't want to miss the opportunity this time.An eloquent piece of persuasion that the emperor should not be in a dangerous place, and finally persuaded the emperor to let the son of Duke Dingguo be the commander-in-chief.

"Yang Qing's suggestion makes a little sense, but Wu Zong can put himself in danger, but I can't? Are you not as good as Wu Zong in deceiving me?"

What is this.

Cui Jingrong understood that as long as it involved military power to lead troops in battle, it was impossible for the emperor to be able to reason as usual when discussing government affairs.Even if Zhou Jiamo's old ministers were dragged in, it was still the result of last year.

But he really didn't dare to immediately spit out his consent to the emperor's expedition. He didn't want to be accused by Wanfu and overwhelmed by the impeachment of the inspectorate.Bite the bullet and come up to persuade.

"Your Majesty, let's first discuss what preparations the Ministry of War needs to make when sending troops to Tumochuan, discuss how many soldiers the Imperial Army will order and take those people there. As for your Majesty's personal conquest, it still needs to be approved by all six ministries and seven ministers."

Ying Gong said in his heart, Cui Jingrong, you are stupid in reading, don't you want to use those old ministers to stop him?

Can't you tell the emperor?

Zhu Youxiao looked at Cui Jingrong with a half-smile, nodded and said: "Cui Qing's suggestion makes sense. Yang Lian will go back to the Ministry of War now, preside over the communication with the Ministry of Households to prepare grain and grass, and communicate with the Ministry of Industry to count ordnance and see how much equipment can be equipped in the inventory." How many shells can be produced by the soldiers and craftsmen's workshops?

Li Banghua went to the Beijing camp together with Duke Ying and Duke Ding to dispatch 5 young and strong soldiers, mainly the forbidden army who had rested in reincarnation, to form the Western Expedition Army.

Cui Qing and I went to the Hall of Mental Cultivation. "

When the name was called, he immediately got up and went to do things according to the order. Cui Jingrong's mouth was filled with a feeling of bitterness that made him want to vomit, as if a bitter gall had been bitten into pieces.It's so easy to use bamboo boards and read books to make my son honestly dare not rebel at such an age, but what should he do when he meets a willful emperor of the same age.

Can't fight, can't make sense...

Those ministers and servants in Qianqing Palace did a lot of homework after returning home last night, and they all expressed their opinions this morning, and basically figured out the matter of the migration of [-] people.Gansu and Ningxia each received [-], and Shaanxi and Shanxi each received [-]. The people who relied on the Yellow River to open canals for irrigation were relocated first.Migration of people year by year.After removing most of the people in the irrigation area covered by each canal, a branch of the Yellow River will be blocked before and after the opening of the river in the spring of the next year, depending on whether it is the Wenkai River or the Wukai River, depending on the changes in the Yellow River. .The people who stayed in the local area planted trees in the same place instead, and the imperial court paid grain and salt according to the survival rate of the tree planting.

All prefectures and counties in the middle and upper reaches of the Yellow River will have to start raising seedlings next spring, and only seedlings can be planted the year after.Moreover, the cultivation of saplings is a long-term matter, and the needs of the tree-planting area must be guaranteed within ten years.

The Ministry of Household Affairs has suddenly increased, and the Ministry of Industry must also provide sufficient tools for these people who stayed behind to plant trees.

Qiao Yunsheng roughly calculated the money and food that the household department had to pay, his brows furrowed.Forget it, ten years later, the lower reaches of the Yellow River can save money for disaster relief, and ten years later, there will be less money for river workers every year.

The Ministry of Rites refused to be a minister because of Gongnai. Without the Minister of Rites, Gongnai, the left servant, would not be able to participate in the immigration. The Imperial Academy and various ministries dispatched those officials to review the papers.There is also the matter of the imperial examinations of the people who migrated to Liaodong.

These two people have never been to the state capital, have never done civil affairs, and cannot participate in immigration matters. Moreover, Gong Nai took the words of the emperor to enlighten him last night, saying that he had shared with Zhou Ruqing, and pulled Zhou Ruqing to do everything with him. Song is not as good as Tong.Although Zhou Ruqing didn't agree with it in his heart, he also knew that it was impossible for him to make up for the shortcomings of the people's livelihood at the grassroots level, so he had to accompany Gong Nai to discuss the affairs of the Ministry of Rites.After all, he was only the emperor's attendant lecturer, and he had the title of lecturer of the emperor's Confucian classics, but he didn't actually teach much Confucian classics for the emperor.

After all, both of them were glad in their hearts that there was Qiu Wei this year, and their Ministry of Rites still had two and a half years to plan and deal with the matter of Qiu Wei after a large number of immigrants from Liaodong.

Zhou Ruqing was born in the first year of Longqing (1567). He lost his father when he was young and was raised by his widowed mother.In the 26th year of Wanli (1598), Zhao Bingzhong became a Jinshi, and then developed along the path of Shujishi in the Imperial Academy.In the Rites Examination in the 35th year of Wanli (1607), he was appointed as the chief marking officer.In the 40th year of Wanli, he was sent to be the chief examiner of the Jiangxi Provincial Examination. Later, he was promoted to Liudu Guozijian Jijiu.

When Emperor Wanli's decree of "three kings conferring together" came to the court, he was not only able to persuade Emperor Wanli to recover the decree of "waiting for his son", but also played a role that cannot be ignored in Guangzong's final crown prince.After Guangzong ascended the throne, it was natural to reward these courtiers who had "contributed to the dragon". He was also on Zhou Jiamo's list of fulfilling Guangzong's last wish, and he was naturally promoted to be the right servant of the Ministry of Rites.

Fortunately, there were too many vacancies for officials in the Shenzong Dynasty, so that Guangzong could have enough positions to arrange the officials who had fought for him for the crown prince for more than 20 years.

When Zhu Youxiao brought Cui Jingrong into the Qianqing Palace, he saw Zhou Ruqing who was hiding and talking with Gong Nai at a glance.He didn't have much time to attend classes with Zhou Ruqing, but he still respected his right servant of the Ministry of Rites.Because Zhou Ruqing is definitely a model scholar from a poor family.

After he adjusted the list of Jinshi in the 35th year of Wanli and asked Zhou Jiamo to inspect the work performance of those Jinshi for more than ten years, he believed that Zhou Ruqing had enough unique vision to know people through articles.He planned to let Zhou Ruqing be the examiner of Chunwei a few more times, and then be the chief examiner of the general examination.

It's just that I don't know if it is feasible to send him to be the deputy chief examiner next year, and to cooperate with He Zongyan as a partner.He Zongyan's opinion must be sought first, and another deputy chief examiner must be decided in time.

Oops, I suddenly want to lead the army to the west, but I find that there are too many things to do before the expedition.

Only the emperor and the ministers of the Ministry of War came back, and those ministers were a little surprised that there were no people from the governor's mansion of the five armies.Could it be that there was an urgent military report after they arrived at the Qianqing Palace this morning?

After everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, they stared at Cui Jingrong, waiting for him to clarify their doubts.

Cui Jingrong looked at the back of the emperor who was going to change clothes behind the Qianqing Palace, wishing he could go with the emperor.He couldn't escape the scorching gaze that was staring at him like a raging fire, and coughed a few times.

"There's something, ahem, you want to hear me say it."

Zhou Jiamo was a little surprised, Cui Jingrong was usually a straightforward person, why did he suddenly become like this.

"But what happened in Liaodong?"

Zhou Jiamo asked Cui Jingrong sternly, and turned to look at the gate of Qianqing Palace. He was looking for the British Duke.With the presence of the British Duke, Ming's army will have cohesion.

"Ahem, no. Liaodong is fine."

Cui Jingrong was forced to speak urgently by Zhou Jiamo, but instead choked on his own saliva, he was extremely embarrassed.After breathing smoothly, he spoke slowly.

"Your Majesty is going to lead the army to conquer Tatar. He set off a few years ago."

He said everything the emperor said thoroughly, and he didn't even save face for himself when he asked for orders to go out and was rejected by the emperor.As for Duke Ying and Duke Dingguo, who have already followed the emperor's orders, they dare not hide anything.

Zhou Jiamo sat back slumped, and said to himself, "I'm just saying, why did I wake up this morning feeling a little unhappy, so it should be because of this matter."

Ye Xianggao saw that everyone was silent after hearing Cui Jingrong's reason for the emperor's westward expedition, so he came forward to host.

"My colleagues, Your Majesty's Western Expedition is just to prevent the Tatars from using troops against the Ming Dynasty. It is much less dangerous than last year when the slaves were trapped in Shenyang and Liaoyang. Now that this is the case, it is better to prepare everything that needs to be prepared as it was at the beginning of the year."

Fang Congzhe murmured, "We can't allow His Majesty to do whatever he wants."

This makes sense, but the emperors of the Ming Dynasty, counting from the time of the Tai/Zu, which one can listen to the advice of the officials?

So when Zhu Youxiao came back after changing his clothes, the six departments and seven ministers had reached a consensus on the emperor's westward expedition.The only thing left to do is to quickly discuss the important matters in next year's budget, and confirm the chief examiner, deputy chief examiner, and eighteen room examiners for next year's Chunwei.For other minutiae matters, each minister will handle them at their own discretion, and if necessary, send a horse to Dongshengwei to deliver the letter urgently.
