"My lord, in fact, you just don't know the true face of Mount Lu. It's just because you are in this mountain that you just didn't understand it for a moment!"
Yang Pu smiled and said, "Wansheng, it seems that the reason why you are worried is probably because it has something to do with the court!"
"Yes!" Li Jinglong slapped the table, "In the past year, I can't understand what happened in the court!"
"Long Live Lord is the Holy Lord. If all the ministers can see it clearly, he is no longer Long Live Lord!" Yang Pu leaned into Li Jinglong's ear, "Since the court is in chaos, let's sort it out!"
"Yes!" Li Jinglong slapped his thigh, "Help me rub it!"
Yang Pu leaned back slightly, "It's a stroke!"
~~
There was a pot of wine and two plates of food on the table. Li Jinglong listened and Yang Pu was talking.
"The current emperor and the Supreme Emperor are different in their employment of personnel." Yang Pu said in a low voice. "The Supreme Emperor governs the country with severe punishments and laws, but he has never liked to frequently transfer officials. As long as the ministers have good conduct, have dignified moral character, and do things well, that's pretty much it. Then they will be promoted according to the department.
, when you reach the position of a feudal official, you often stay there for several years!"
"As for the Emperor! He puts talent and virtue first in employing people, and he never likes old, scholarly and conservative people!" Yang Pu continued, "But the Emperor also considered that the government should focus on stability and not engage in large-scale wars. So first, he arranged the layout of the provinces.
The deputy of the political secretary, and even the censor of the censorship department have been changed!"
"Wait a minute!" Li Jinglong held his chin and said thoughtfully, "What you said just now is right to the point. The emperor hates old scholars who talk nonsense but also have moral articles about governing by doing nothing!" As he said,
After a pause, he continued, "What the Emperor likes now is officials who have the courage to do their job, are not afraid of offending others, and dare to challenge what the predecessors could not do. Just like Xin Yande, when I let the old man go, his head fell off ten times, but now
But he is an imperial minister!"
Yang Pu took a sip of wine and then said, "In the past few years, the reason why the emperor did not make a big move against the court but simmered it slowly. In Wan Sheng's view, in addition to not wanting the court to be unstable, it was also because the new king had just ascended the throne and could not
Leave the following impression of being mean and unkind!"
"Yeah!" Li Jinglong nodded, "I understand this, it's just like leading troops. No matter which camp you go to, you must first give some benefits to those old scoundrels!"
"Now, do you think the emperor needs to give benefits to anyone?" Yang Pu said with a smile.
Li Jinglong suddenly paused.
After these two years, the imperial bureau has been completely controlled by the emperor, and it is truly a matter of words.
Everyone thinks that after becoming an emperor, everyone in the world should obey him. In fact, this is not the case. There is a natural conflict between the power of the king and the power of ministers.
Even a founder like the old man, it took many years of iron and blood to be able to follow his words.
"Look, in the early days there was the Qingliu group represented by Bachelor Liu Yixing in the court. Where are they now? Later there was the Practical School represented by Bachelor Ling? Now is the Practical School also...?" Yang Pu said with a smile, "
The civil servant group has been made submissive by the emperor through the North and South List case, a series of court transfers, the compilation of ancient and modern books, etc."
"There is also the South Study Room!" Li Jinglong said thoughtfully, "Placing the South Study Room above the officials will not only get twice the result with half the effort in official affairs, but also block factional disputes among civil servants!"
"My lord, you are far-sighted!" Yang Pu smiled and continued, "After the civil service, there is the military service! We will issue military pay based on the numbers. First, let the Governor's Office and the Ministry of War check the affairs of the soldiers stationed in the military depots in various places.
It’s about reforming armaments!”
"So!" Li Jinglong squinted his eyes and said, "The emperor should have thought that after he issued the decree for the first time, the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion and the Ministry of War must not have done a good enough job. Therefore, immediately after that, the general military officers of each province began to command the first level
The generals are mobilized!"
Yang Pu smiled and said, "The emperor also gave the military people a lot of face at the beginning!" He continued, "But the military people are no more cautious than civil servants. Therefore, after the generals are transferred, I will let you come down as an imperial envoy."
Body inventory!"
Li Jinglong suddenly waved his hand to stop Yang Pu from talking, and fell into deep thought.
After a while, he raised his head and said, "What if I don't do well?"
"Then you..." Yang Pu said, wiping off the wine stains on the table with his palm, "you must do it well, because the emperor has no one to use now!"
"What should I say?" Li Jinglong immediately became energetic.
"Inspecting military warehouses and other matters may lead to a mutiny!" Yang Pu whispered, "This is tantamount to liquidating the military leaders from various places, and it is also to prevent future drinking of soldiers' blood! You
Think about it, if in the entire Ming Dynasty, military pay is paid based on the number of the soldiers, military households are abolished, and money and food are distributed based on the military register of the Ministry of War, who can still drink the blood of the soldiers?"
"Go on!" Li Jinglong seemed to understand something, "No wonder I haven't been able to figure it out for more than half a year? It's all a set of tricks, one after another!"
"This kind of thing must be done by someone with prestige!" Yang Pu lowered his voice, "Think about it again. At this time, the emperor appointed Mr. Guo as a member of the Jinyi Guards and asked Mr. Guo to come to Huaibei to act as Huaixi military affairs
What’s the intention?”
"oh?"
"oh!!"
"oh....."
Li Jinglong sighed three times in a row, each representing a different emotion.
Doubtful, surprised, and then profound.
"Ha!" Suddenly, he laughed out loud, "Poor Guo Xiaosi, he thought he had finally turned over, and it was time for him to rise to the top after catching up with the emperor's grace. Haha, haha! Little did he know that in the future, his ancestral graves would be destroyed by those warriors.
The scolding exploded!"
"And Mr. Guo, if you don't do anything that offends anyone in your life, he will be dragged out by the emperor to become a door god for a while!"
In fact, there was something he didn't say in his heart, that he would use the nobles' sons as executioners to arrest and judge people. The prestige and connections that Huaixi nobles had accumulated in the army for many years would be gone in less than two years.
All used up.
Those old guys, whether they live or die, their families have absolutely nothing to do with the military!
The emperor's skill is so good! He kills people and kills his heart!
But then, his expression changed.
"Whether it's the interior of the Central Plains or the guards along the coast, military affairs are difficult but easy to handle!" Li Jinglong frowned and said, "The most difficult thing is on the nine sides! There are also private soldiers in the hands of the vassal kings. How to deal with them?
"As he spoke, he slapped his forehead, "Especially in the border town, those killers, if you don't let them drink the blood of soldiers and make enough money, they are really useless!"
Having said this, he picked up the wine glass and took a deep sip, "What if... what if there is someone who is so obsessed with the thought of raising a bandit's self-respect...?"
"That's all for later!" Yang Pu served Li Jinglong a full plate of wine and said in a low voice, "I don't dare to say much about foreign affairs, but the internal affairs of our Ming Dynasty are just like this! At the moment, the emperor has made it clear that it is the left hand and the right hand.
Wu must be driven like an arm!" As he spoke, he sighed, "Besides, sometimes I can't understand the emperor's intentions. I always feel that they are different from those of previous dynasties!"
Li Jinglong glanced at him and suddenly smiled, "You must be a scholar. Look at you, you have never been an official for a day. But when you talk about these things, you are so eloquent that you are better than many high officials in the court!"
"Wansheng is your staff. He has no scruples in speaking and can speak freely. But if he becomes an official, Wansheng's mouth will be sewn shut!" Yang Pu laughed, "Otherwise, I'm afraid that my career will be the end of the world just after I enter the official career! Everyone. Shout out!"

Forbidden City, Qianqing Palace Nuange.
Zhu Yunxi had just returned from the palace and took off his casual clothes and put on regular clothes.
After putting on his clothes, he waved his hand slightly, and the bastard immediately retreated, and a military officer wearing a unicorn uniform came in from the outside.
"Chen, Chang Sen..."
"I don't have to follow the rules of my family!" Zhu Yunxi smiled and sat down, "You do the same, let's sit and talk!"
"Yes!" Chang Sen looked a little confused.
It is true that he is the emperor's uncle, but it has been a long time since the emperor summoned their brothers alone and privately.
"You are my blood uncle, I will not go around in circles with you!" Zhu Yunxi said, "You have temporarily shelved your official position as commander of the Forbidden City Guards. I am not removing you from your position. I will shelve it for now. I have other feelings for you. use!"
Chang Sen immediately stood up and said, "Whatever the emperor asks me to do, I will do it..."
Zhu Yunxi smiled and laid his hands and said, "Don't act like you are facing a powerful enemy. I am not asking you to lead troops at the border or to train troops everywhere." After saying that, he sighed and said, "You are my uncle after all, Kaiping. The king's son has really lost his talent in the capital these years, so!"
As he said that, Zhu Yunxi glanced at the other party and said, "I have a new job for you. I am the former Army Commander of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion, the Commander-in-Chief of Huguang City, and the Commander-in-Chief of Huguang City, to control Huguang's military affairs!"
At this point, Zhu Yunxi lowered his head, gently blew the tea leaves floating on the tea cup, and said casually, "This job is not easy to handle. The king of Chu and the king of Xiang are all under your rule. It is difficult to manage!"
