Chapter 39 Your Majesty! The minister asks you to move south!
After hearing Chongzhen's words, Zhu Cixiang smiled bitterly for a while.
Others say that Chongzhen was seriously ill with suspicion, but at this point, Zhu Cixiang really couldn't say that Chongzhen was too seriously ill with suspicion.
Judging from the current situation, has Liao’s salary been misappropriated?
There should be some, as for the specific proportion.
It's really hard for Zhu Cixi to say, the situation in western Liaoning is not good, everything has been corrupted for a long time, and that place has been plagued by wars for years.
Coupled with the perennial presence of these military towns, the entire western Liaoning has long been built into a community of interests.
How could the six million Liao salary each year be completely just salary and war funds?
Many of them were used to build Liaodong military towns.
After all, there are local snakes, and the rentier class here must be more than just the Wu family, many people are also eating well from it!
Thinking of this, Zhu Cixiang sighed slightly.
"Civil officials can't be trusted, and military officials can't be trusted! How could I turn such a big country into this!"
Emperor Chongzhen sat in his chair with some dejection. Looking at Emperor Chongzhen in front of him, Zhu Cixiang quickly said to Emperor Chongzhen in front of him: "Father, don't worry!"
Zhu Cixiang calmed down and said to Emperor Chongzhen in front of him: "Now that this is the case! My father should follow me. Father and son are of the same mind, and they can break through the enemy! My father will stabilize the situation in the southeast, and I will try my best to create a new force."
Army! If it can be done.
Maybe the Ming Dynasty will be revived again in the hands of my father!"
After hearing Zhu Cihong's words, Emperor Chongzhen looked at Zhu Cihong in front of him with a hint of hope in his eyes.
"I hope so!"
Chongzhen and Zhu Cixiang sat and chatted for a while about their future arrangements.
At this time, Wu Sangui had already left the palace under the leadership of the eunuchs nearby. Soon, Wu Sangui returned to his mansion in the capital.
"How is it? Have you met the Crown Prince?"
Wu Xiang looked at Wu Sangui in front of him with a smile on his face and asked.
"I've seen it before!"
Wu Sangui nodded and said with emotion to Wu Xiang in front of him: "Sure enough, this crown prince is really not an ordinary person. When I was around him, I felt that he had a great aura.
I have been fighting for many years, and I think the bloody smell on my body is very strong, but His Highness the Crown Prince's expression does not change, and he does not even frown when facing me, he is only fifteen or sixteen years old!"
Hearing Wu Sangui's words, Wu Xiang in front of him smiled slightly, looked at Wu Sangui in front of him and said: "I told you earlier, His Royal Highness the Prince once visited the battlefield in person and supervised the battle on the city wall, and the Jin Yiwei he trained were all
His martial arts skills are high.
And his abilities are outstanding! His Royal Highness, a prince who was born in a deep palace and is good at helping others, can do this, which is enough to show how powerful he is!"
Wu Sangui nodded.
At this time, he hesitated for a moment, looked at Wu Xiang in front of him and said, "Father, Your Majesty asked me about my salary again..."
As he said that, Wu Sangui smiled bitterly for a while, with a hint of sigh flashing in his eyes.
"Just ask!"
Wu Xiang's expression did not change at all, he just calmly said to Wu Sangui in front of him.
"Every time we prevaricate like this, are we really afraid that His Majesty will settle the score in the future?"
"Afraid?"
With a smile on his face, Wu Xiang took a deep look at Wu Sangui in front of him, and said calmly: "Liao's salary is a mess, and the interests involved in this matter are really too great! Everyone in Liaodong is here
There is money in it, is it just our family that makes money out of it?"
Wu Sangui was stunned for a moment after hearing Wu Xiang's words.
"Let's watch as we walk! We are living in troubled times nowadays, and no one knows what will happen in the future. We can only take one step at a time and wait and see!
Even if the imperial court regains control of the initiative in the future, with the merits of our Wu family, even if it is found that we have had a hand in Liao's salary, His Majesty will not be able to deal with us. On the contrary, he will still win over us! This
That’s called politics!”
As he spoke, Wu Xiang showed a smile on his face.
Wu Sangui was stunned for a moment, then nodded with some vague understanding. After all, he was just a general, and his political wisdom was very limited.
Looking at Wu Sangui in front of him, Wu Xiang sighed slightly.
My son is still a little naive!
"By the way, when you came to support Beijing City, was there any change in the Qing court in Shanhaiguan?"
At this moment, Wu Xiang suddenly thought of something and asked Wu Sangui in front of him.
"I only brought out five thousand Qingqi. There shouldn't be any changes at Shanhaiguan, right?"
Wu Sangui said inexplicably to Wu Xiang in front of him.
"Hopefully!"
Wu Xiang said worriedly to Wu Sangui in front of him.
"I'm afraid the Qing court won't give up such a good opportunity..."
Wu Sangui had been dealing with the Qing army all year round. Of course he understood the Qing army's thoughts, but he said disapprovingly to his father in front of him: "Don't worry! With Shanhaiguan here, it will be extremely difficult and risky for the Qing army to enter."
It's so high that they can't get in! Before I led my troops to support, I had already arranged the city defense!"
"that's fine!"
Wu Xiang nodded.
While the father and son were chatting, Zhu Cihong had already walked out of the palace, and he also got an edict pardoning Wu Di in his hand.
This edict was issued to Wu Di, pardoning Wu Di, and naming Wu Di as the prince's Shaobao, and he would obey the prince's orders.
Then there were several edicts, addressed to Zhu Cihong.
It was an edict that allowed him to appoint and remove all local officials in Shandong Province. As long as Zhu Cihong had any officials he wanted to canonize, he could do so at any time.
Zhu Cihong glanced at the edict in his hand, and a hint of helplessness flashed in his heart.
No one!
No real talent!
Zhu Cixiang's vision was very high, and ordinary people could not catch Zhu Cixiang's eyes.
It seems that we can only rely on ourselves to slowly cultivate some talents!
Zhu Cixiang sighed slightly and returned to the residence of Duke Cheng Guo.
After a day, various departments of the imperial court finally returned to normal.
The next day, the morning ritual after the intruders left was carried out as usual.
In front of Taiji Hall, many ministers came to court,
Today's morning morning is a little different from previous morning mornings, because the intruder has just passed by, and there are many things that need to be dealt with in today's morning morning.
In the morning meeting, Emperor Chongzhen quickly nominated several officials who had performed outstandingly during the defense of the city to join the cabinet.
Li Yuzhi, the Minister of Civil Affairs, was quickly promoted to the position of chief minister of the cabinet.
Li Banghua was appointed as the Second Assistant to the Cabinet, and then Ni Yuanlu also joined the Cabinet.
Next is a bunch of little things to deal with.
After processing it for a while.
"Your Majesty! I request you to move south!"
Li Banghua suddenly spoke to Chongzhen in front of him.
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire court was in an uproar.
