Cao Huachun led Sun Chuanting, passed through the Qianqing Palace from Taihe Gate, and went straight to Jingyang Palace.
Sun Chuanting was dusty, his face was still tired, but his eyes were very energetic, he said with a smile as he walked, "Xiaguan, this is the second time I have seen Gonggong Cao, and I have not thanked Gonggong Cao for the will and silver sent by Gonggong Cao." ” Cao Huachun smiled, knowing what Sun Chuanting meant, it was still a few years ago, it was the 'holy decree' written by Zhu Xu, and he personally gave it to Sun Chuanting in front of the city gate.
Sun Chuanting saw that Cao Huachun had no, and chuckled: "Father-in-law, the emperor, but what is the explanation?"
” Although Sun Chuanting hurriedly entered Beijing, he also knew a thing or two about things in the capital, and he couldn't help but be a little worried.
Especially when the military reform has reached this point, we must not give up halfway, let alone turn back!
Cao Huachun smiled quietly and said, "Your Excellency will know when you see the emperor." ” Sun Chuanting listened to Cao Huachun's words, and his heart inevitably sank again.
He has not been in the temple for the past few years, and he has seen a lot of things from the sidelines.
Especially the emperor's military reform this time, he is 100% supportive, and he also hopes to change it to the end in order to save the weak and rotten situation of the Ming army.
It's just that the new emperor can really resist the pressure of the outer court?
He had already heard that many government affairs were now piled up in various yamen, and no one was doing anything, and they were almost paralyzed.
Cao Huachun led Sun Chuanting into the imperial study, and he bowed slightly to Zhu Xu and stood aside.
Sun Chuanting knelt on one knee and said in a deep voice: "Minister Sun Chuanting, knock on the emperor, long live my emperor!"
” Zhu Xu was eating porridge, quickly wiped his mouth, stood up and said with a smile: "Don't be formal, come, talk in the room." ” Sun Chuanting was stunned, so he had to get up and follow Zhu Xu, and came to the side room one after the other, and sat opposite Zhu Xu, separated by a small stone table.
Zhu Xu looked at him, looked at him and smiled, "Tell me about it, especially the standing armies in various places." ” Sun Chuanting has been quietly looking at Zhu Xu, and seeing that although he is young and young, his every move is quite advanced and retreating, not an ordinary naughty boy, and his heart is a little relieved.
Listening to Zhu Xu's question, he pondered in his heart and said: "Back to the emperor, the guards in various places have been rotting for years, and their combat readiness is lax, and they are unbearable for a war.
The ministers and Sun Ge Lao worked hard to rectify, but they could only barely form an army, and they were still loose, and it was difficult to have combat strength, and even ......
Not as good as the previous guard.
The minister, Lord Yuan, and Elder Sun Ge had discussed that they should build an overseer army, train them strictly, sweep away the stale atmosphere, and make them bold and combatable......"
Zhu Xu nodded secretly while listening, what Sun Chuanting said was the truth and to the point.
If an army wants to have combat strength, it is not enough for someone to have weapons and food, and it is impossible for an army to have combat strength and become an army without some training and a few bloody battles.
After Sun Chuanting said something and stopped, Zhu Xu smiled with satisfaction, "Well, I know all this."
After you take up the post of military department, your main responsibility is to train the troops, and the military department must strictly supervise and supervise them, and if there is any obstruction, the black sheep must be decisively eliminated, and we must train a strong soldier who can fight as soon as possible!
” Sun Chuanting bowed slightly, looked up at Zhu Xu, and said cautiously, "Your Majesty, Lord Shen advocates slow progress......"
Zhu Xu waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about this, I will give you a clear division of responsibility when the time comes, and I won't hinder you." ” Sun Chuanting's heart was relieved, and he was also curious, the emperor didn't seem to care too much about what was happening outside the palace?
Zhu Xu was very concerned about the military situation in various places, and began to inquire in detail.
Sun Chuanting can be literate and martial, whether it is military or government affairs, he has some opinions, and the monarch and ministers play it right, but it is very smooth.
Zhu Xu listened to it and shook his jaw from time to time, and he also understood it from Sun Chuanting's words.
The disaster in all parts of the country is not limited to the north, the southern provinces, even the coastal areas are getting more and more serious, and most of the bandits are born from this, and it is not enough to sweep alone.
Zhu Xu listened for a while, and asked, "What do you think of sending a governor to each of my political secretaries, who is specifically responsible for military affairs and dealing with bandits in various places?"
” Sun Chuanting frowned slightly, this is actually the authority that originally belonged to the Metropolitan Command Division, and the abolition of the guard station naturally requires a new yamen to take over, but it has always been the Political Division, according to the Judges, and the Metropolitan Command Divisions are not subordinate to each other, and they pass the buck to each other, and then send a governor, it is nothing more than the reappearance of the Metropolitan Command Division, and there is not much change at all.
When it comes to these, Sun Chuanting can't judge himself, and he still cautiously admonishes, "Your Majesty, the minister believes that whether it is the governor of one province or two provinces, it is still necessary to make a decision to deal with bandits and rebellions. ” Zhu Xu's expression was slightly different, and he immediately understood what Sun Chuanting meant.
Among the three local divisions, the political secretary has the greatest power, if they do not support, even if they do not cooperate, the governor will not have much influence in the past, and the governors and governors who have been set aside are everywhere in embarrassment.
However, Zhu Xu was reluctant to continue to expand the power of the political secretary, so as not to affect his plan, and said with an unmoved face, "Well, I will consider it again." ” "That's right," Zhu Xu suddenly said: "When you arrive at the military department, you also pay attention to the battle situation of Mengyuan and Jiannu, although Lin Dan Khan is disappointed in him, but he can't help but support, you can discuss how to support them, so that they can be consumed, and we can get the benefits of becoming bigger." ” Sun Chuanting glanced at Zhu Xu and said, "The minister understands that he will start immediately after taking office." ” Zhu Xu smiled and discussed with Sun Chuanting for more than half an hour before letting him out of the palace.
Zhu Xu stood in front of the stairs, looked at Sun Chuanting's back, breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and said to himself with a smile: "With him, I can at least settle half of my heart." ” However, he also vaguely understood from Sun Chuanting's words that Sun Chuanting was different from the Donglin Party or other Qingliu ministers, and had a clear understanding of the situation in the Ming Dynasty, especially the military and political affairs in various places, which had been corrupted to a certain extent, and if he did not seek change, there was no hope for Zhongxing Daming!
Sun Chuanting's entry into Beijing at this time naturally did not attract much attention.
The faster the connection of the Donglin Party, the larger the scale, and even the scripts from all over the country flew into Beijing one by one through the post station, but not to the political envoys, but to the hands of ** Xing and others.
Like a snowball, both in terms of momentum and scale, they began to sweep the capital, from the princes and ministers to the peddlers and pawns, no one knew about it, and no one knew about it.
All kinds of gossip also began to spread, what emperor wanted to kill the minister, what king Xin wanted to rebel, what Qing monarch side, and even 'Ji language' appeared, and the whole capital was in chaos.
However, not all Donglin Party members have been co-opted.
In a room in Taichang Temple, several people sat opposite each other, drinking stuffy wine. are all low-end petty officials, and in terms of official uniforms, the highest is only seven grades, with Dr.
Taichang Temple and Xu Jie.
The people here are all Jiangnan Wu and Xi people, who have been officials for several years, in their early thirties, and seem to be inactive.
One of them looked sad, poured wine into his mouth and said, "Brother Xu, are we really not going?"
” Although Xu Jie was also drinking, his demeanor remained unchanged at all, he was very sober, and before he could speak, another person suddenly snorted coldly and said, "How can we participate in such a rebellious act?"
”
