After all the courtiers retreated, Zhu Youjian was still a little excited, but in this excitement, there seemed to be other emotions that he couldn't describe.
"Your Majesty, Commander Xu has been training troops over there in Nanhaizi?"
Wang Chengen smiled and slapped Zhu Youjian: "Last month, I handed a note to the palace to greet His Majesty. According to His Majesty's instructions, the servant stopped me and went back!"
"He didn't do anything else?" Zhu Youjian seemed a little surprised: "He doesn't seem to be such a peaceful person!"
"Does Your Majesty want him to do something else?" Wang Chengen said with a smile: "Your Majesty needs courtiers who can keep their own rules, so he will be a courtier who can keep their own rules. Your Majesty needs ministers who can't keep their own rules, and he is also a master who dares to kill people with a sword. This is true.
It’s not easy to command men of letters and make them practice martial arts!”
Zhu Youjian glanced at Wang Chengen and shook his head: "You dare to speak like this in front of me. Now I have to change a minister. I must have thought that I was speaking for Xu Bai. What kind of character is the person around me?
, I naturally know it in my heart, do you need others to remind you?"
"This slave has a thick skin and is not afraid of His Majesty's punishment!" Wang Chengen said with a smile: "Your Majesty wants to use him?"
"When I summoned Yuan Chonghuan today, he made me a little embarrassed!" Zhu Youjian sighed: "He was actually worried that I would dispatch his Jiliao border troops to quell the civil unrest in Shaanxi. I was so ignorant of the importance.
Someone?"
He sighed, and suddenly became a little angry: "The officials in Shaanxi must be so stupid and incompetent that the civil unrest in Shaanxi cannot be suppressed. Wen Tiren and others in the DPRK are blindly thinking
In order to appease the rebellious refugees, the chaos among the people is getting worse and worse. Now, even the border troops are worried. Are you looking down on me?"
"Your Majesty, do you want Xu Bai's Nanhai Guard to handle this matter?" Wang Chengen was stunned: "The Beijing Guard spends a lot of money and food to deal with civil unrest!"
"Summon him, and I'll ask him what he means!" Zhu Youjian waved his hands a little irritably. The word "money and food" is what he can't hear the most right now. The current Ming Dynasty is like a huge sieve, regardless of the court's income.
How much silver is always leaked out of the sieve very quickly.
Moreover, people were reaching out everywhere to ask for money from the court.
He, Zhu Youjian, has only been the emperor for a few days. Even if he changes money, he cannot change so quickly!
An hour later, Xu Bai appeared in front of Zhu Youjian dusty. This dusty is not an adjective, but he is really covered in dust. Even though he seemed to have deliberately patted it when he entered the temple, it still couldn't be covered.
The whole body smells of dust.
"Training?"
"Yes, according to His Majesty's decree, I have been training troops!"
"How's your practice going?"
"Quite useful!"
Zhu Youjian raised his head from the memorial in front of him and looked at Xu Bai in front of him: "There is civil unrest in Shaanxi. The local government is not in a good position to respond. It is difficult to mobilize the border troops. Can the Nanhai Guard be used?"
"As long as His Majesty's decree indicates, the Nanhai Guard's five thousand warriors will serve Your Majesty!" Xu Bai said loudly: "The Nanhai Guard is available!"
"But I don't have much military resources to give you!" Zhu Youjian lowered his head, seeming to hide a trace of embarrassment on his face: "Compared with Shaanxi, Liaodong is more important to the court, so I will give you five thousand
Silver, you will have to raise your own expenses from now on!”
"I accept the decree!" Xu Bai nodded.
"Go back and prepare, and leave Beijing within ten days!" Zhu Youjian raised his head: "It is because the Shaanxi officials are stupid and incompetent that I specifically asked you to lead the army there. Your newly-built Nanhaiwei army has no record.
If you are not sure of victory, I do not ask you to forcefully go to war. However, if we fight, we will win. I asked you, Nanhai Guard, to help me gain face, do you understand?"
"I understand!" Xu Bai laughed: "My Nanhai Guards are the emperor's personal soldiers. Naturally, a personal soldier must have the face of a personal soldier. Your Majesty, rest assured, I will make a triumphant return when I leave!"
Xu Bai thanked him and left without saying a word. Xu Bai accepted the order and left without saying anything.
Zhu Youjian was stunned for a long time before he seemed to have recovered: "Daban, have you heard any news in the past six months that Xu Bai's temperament has changed drastically?"
"You've never heard of this?"
"Why do I feel that he was not so easy to talk to before!" Zhu Youjian murmured to himself: "I deliberately ignored him for so long. Even if he has no complaints, now I just tell him to lead troops out of Beijing to quell the chaos.
At least you have to ask my lion to open his mouth, I am already prepared, as long as he opens his mouth, I will have to allocate some money to him even from my own funds!"
"Your Majesty, have you forgotten where the money for purchasing Liaodong cannons came from?" Wang Chengen chuckled: "When it comes to making money, our commander Xu is an expert, but he is willing to abide by the rules.
If he was unwilling to abide by the rules, when His Majesty was cleaning up the government affairs, as long as he wanted to interfere, he would have confiscated a few houses, and he would have lost a lot of money!"
"He is indeed a man of rules!" Zhu Youjian agreed with this point: "If I hadn't wanted to end the matter in Shaanxi quickly, I would have really wanted to see his ability to make money!"
He sighed: "My Ming Dynasty has outstanding civil servants and military generals, but there are too few people who are proficient in the transportation of goods. Nowadays, money is needed everywhere in the court. If he really has this ability, I will put him in
I'm afraid the Hubu will be much better than being in this army!"
"Your Majesty, there is no difference between a killing knife and a writing pen in His Majesty's eyes!" Wang Cheng'en said: "Only those who are trustworthy and capable of His Majesty are still valuable..."
Zhu Youjian nodded and pondered for a while: "Yes, if he handles the Shaanxi matter well this time, I will also consider whether to let him out and do something real. He is almost done with the experience.
, if you don’t use the sharpened knife, wouldn’t that be a failure to live up to my expectations!”
He looked at Wang Chengen: "What I mean, you can remind him tactfully..."
"I dare not!" Wang Cheng'en heard this and knelt down with a frightened voice: "I will never dare to reveal even a few words of conversation with His Majesty!"
"Get up!" Zhu Youjian waved his hand: "Of course I can trust you. What I mean is that telling him my expectations before leaving the capital will also make him have a winning heart and a feeling of gratitude. If he comes with
If you go to Shaanxi full of resentment, that is not what I want to see!"
Wang Chengen let out a long sigh and got up from the ground: "Your Majesty, you scared me to death. I thought your majesty blamed me for not being strict with your words!"
Zhu Youjian shook his head: "You are thinking too much...!"
