Daming Crazy Emperor

Chapter 132

After Taichang returned to the imperial study, he began to write letters. This letter was written to Sun Chuanting.

The general meaning is to let Sun Chuanting cooperate with Qi Jin, Zhang Yuanfang and Huang Degong while suppressing the rebellion, and organize [-] elite guards into the Shenji Battalion, the Fifth Army Battalion, and the Imperial Guard Army respectively, and expand the Fifth Army Battalion to [-]. The aircraft battalion and the imperial guards were expanded to [-] respectively.

In this way, with the addition of the Shenwu Battalion, the 24 barracks in Beijing and the [-] imperial troops, the number of imperial guards and pro-army in his hands reached [-].

As long as the Shenji Battalion and the Shenwu Battalion are fully equipped in time, not to mention deterring the officials, it will be enough to calm the Quartet!

After he finished writing the letter, he handed it to Luo Sigong, and ordered him to send it to Jinling urgently through Jinyiwei's [-]-mile channel.

Immediately afterwards, he turned to the door and said, "Broadcast to Cao Huachun."

Soon, Cao Huachun came quickly.

Taichang didn't talk too much, and said directly: "The decree is proposed, and Sun Chuanting, the Minister of the Ministry of War in Nanjing, will be promoted to the Yushi of the Right Capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Governor of Sichuan and Guizhou, and order him to immediately mobilize [-] troops to fight the rebellion in the southwest."

Cao Huachun didn't say anything, just knelt down in front of the young couple next to him, took out a blank imperial decree and began to write it.

Will the cabinet pass this purpose smoothly?
It's really hard to say, because the cabinet is already under the control of the eunuchs, and these guys are thinking too much.

He had just prepared the imperial decree and was considering this issue, when the little eunuch at the door suddenly said: "Your Majesty, the Chief Assistant of the Cabinet, Gu Bingqian, is asking for an audience."

This actually ran over to find him on his own initiative!

Gu Bingqian, the chief assistant, is really the same as no one. This guy basically won't come unless he is called, and it's useless if he is called.

What's even more hateful is that no matter what happens in the court, this guy will not come to ask him, the emperor, but Wei Zhongxian for instructions!
I don't know who this guy regards as the emperor.

Alas, it's a good thing this guy is an idiot, otherwise, I really wouldn't dare to let this guy be the chief assistant of the cabinet.

It doesn't matter if this guy is here, he just happens to solve the problem of the [-] elite guards in Nanzhili face to face.

If the imperial decree was passed directly to the cabinet and he was asked to ask Wei Zhongxian for instructions secretly, there would probably be another moth in the middle.

Taichang looked at the imperial decree in his hand, and then said lightly: "Xuan."

After a while, Gu Bingqian walked in in a hurry.

After the emperor and his ministers greeted each other, he said with a smile on his face, "Your Majesty, the humble ministers have finished collecting [-] vehicles, and I believe they will all be sent to the Changying school ground soon."

Do you have the nerve to show credit for such a trivial matter?

Taichang picked up the imperial decree on the table, nodded slightly and said: "Well, yes, this matter was handled quickly. Let's do this together too. After going back to sign the deposit, we will send it to Jinling immediately within [-] miles."

uh, what?
Gu Bingqian took the imperial decree respectfully and looked at it, but stood there without moving.

What the hell do you really want to play with me?

Do you still have to ask Wei Zhongxian for instructions?
Taichang couldn't help staring at him and said coldly: "Why, you don't think it's suitable?"

Gu Bingqian really wanted to ask Wei Zhongxian for instructions, because he didn't dare to decide on such a big matter!
Question, the emperor is so pressing, how can he answer?

He thought for a while, and then carefully procrastinated: "Your Majesty, I don't think it's inappropriate for me. The main thing is that the [-] army can't be summoned just by calling it. If there is not enough money, food, weapons, supplies, etc., it is useless to call it up." , I feel that the problem of money, food, weapons and supplies should be solved first."

Do you still think about these things?

If you were really that good, you wouldn't be called mediocre and shameless!

Of course Taichang knew that this guy wanted to delay to ask Wei Zhongxian for instructions.

Damn you, play this game with me!

Taichang couldn't help being angry and said: "Do you know how many rebels there are in the southwest? There are more than 20 rebels, how do you deal with them? You don't make any suggestions, and you are still here to delay me. Tell you, this time no matter who is delaying, you will be killed." If it causes chaos in the southwest, I will punish the nine clans!"

what?
Kill the Nine Clan!
Forget it, I won't ask Eunuch Wei for instructions this time. If Eunuch Wei doesn't nod his head, the Southwest will be in chaos. The emperor must be punishing his nine clans, not Eunuch Wei's nine clans.

Gu Bingqian trembled in fright and said: "Your Majesty, this humble minister will do it when he gets back, right away."

After all these words were finished, he still stood there and refused to leave!

Seeing this, Taichang couldn't help saying coldly: "Why don't you hurry up and do it, why are you standing here?"

Gu Bingqian hurriedly said cautiously: "Your Majesty, I have something to tell you in advance."

Do you have anything else to tell me?
Is the sun out in the west?

Taichang couldn't help but asked curiously: "If you have anything to say, just say it, why are you hesitating?"

Hearing this, Gu Bingqian quickly explained: "Your Majesty, it's like this. The exam will be held in a few months. It's time to think about the exam questions and the exam room. You have to start preparing for it."

What does this mean?
You still want to be the chief examiner!

Taichang finally understood that this guy was here to ask for the position of examiner, because generally the examiner is either the chief assistant of the cabinet or the minister of the Ministry of Rites.

At this moment, he was instructing the eunuch to clean up Donglin, and Sun Shenxing, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, must not even think about being the chief examiner.

This guy probably thought that the chief examiner was confirmed, so he came to ask for the chief examiner's job while doing some trivial things.

Hmph, can I let you, a trash, be the chief examiner?

You must know that the chief examiner of the examination is nominally the mentor of all Jinshi in this class, and all Jinshi who have not had a formal apprenticeship are their disciples by default.

This rule is naturally a good thing for most candidates. After all, the examiner is either the chief assistant of the cabinet or the minister of the Ministry of Rites. He has a high position and weight and is of great help to their careers.

Sometimes, as long as you can lick your cheeks and pay a visit to someone, and ask for the gift of a disciple, it is very simple to get a promotion.

However, for some candidates, not only is it not a good thing, but it is also a bad thing.

Because once the chief examiner has an accident, most of them will be implicated. Even if they are not implicated, it will be difficult to get promoted because they lose their backing, and their careers are basically over.

This Gu Bingqian is destined to be dismissed and investigated. Can he let him destroy this year's candidates?

Of course not!

He still needs to train this class of candidates well to replace Eunuch and Donglin.

Taichang thought for a while, then pretended to be very interested and said: "Will you take the exam? I haven't been an examiner before! How about this, you go and prepare the exam room, and I will come up with the exam questions."

Ah!
Gu Bingqian couldn't help being dumbfounded when he heard this.

The emperor wants to be the chief examiner of the examination!

You are the chief examiner of the imperial examination, okay, why do you want to compete with me for the chief examiner of this general examination?

What should I do now!

Gu Bingqian really wanted to recruit a bunch of disciples, so that he would have the right to speak among the eunuchs, unlike now, Cui Chengxiu, Wu Chunfu, Xu Dahua, etc. are all favored in front of Eunuch Wei, and Eunuch Wei will listen to everything. He didn't even bother to interrupt.

There is no way, he is Eunuch Wei's godson, he is not, his youngest son is Eunuch Wei's godson, the relationship is far from it.

If he doesn't cultivate his own power, sooner or later the position of chief assistant in the cabinet will be snatched away by those gui sons.

Question, now the emperor wants to compete with him for the chief examiner!
How to do it?

He was stunned for a long time, and then said weakly: "Your Majesty, as a rule, you are the chief examiner of the palace examination. If you will take the test, the courtiers will usually preside over it."

Hmph, you civil servants, follow the rules when you speak, follow the rules when you shut your mouth, what rules, do you follow your rules?

Taichang straightened his face, and said coldly: "What rules? According to the "Da Ming Law", according to the "Da Ming Hui Dian", or according to the "Da Ming Articles Legal Affairs Class Compilation"?"

Gu Bingqian was dumbfounded when he heard this, how could there be such things in the regular law!
The rumors about him are not false at all. He is a mediocre and shameless person. If he is talking about flattering horses, he is the best of the best, but when it comes to fighting for something, he is really bad.

This is also the fundamental reason why he is the chief minister of the cabinet but is mediocre.

The eunuchs don’t say that bad things are never done, they are good hands when they do bad things, many members of the eunuchs are famous in history because of this, but he is the chief minister of the cabinet, he is really mediocre, I have never seen him do bad things, I didn't see him do anything good.

To put it bluntly, he's just useless, he basically doesn't know anything except slapping his horse and climbing up.

Perhaps, this is also the reason why Wei Zhongxian made Gu Bingqian the chief assistant of the cabinet.

Because it's useless for this guy to be the chief assistant of the cabinet, so don't worry.

If people like Cui Chengxiu and Xu Dahua are allowed to be the chief ministers of the cabinet, they might step on him as a father!

How could a mediocre person like Gu Bingqian dare to compete with such a powerful emperor as Taichang? Taichang slapped him hard, and he was so frightened that his heart pounded.

He swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, squirmed his mouth a few times, but in the end he still didn't have the courage to continue fighting with the emperor.

Seeing this, Taichang simply waved his hand and said: "Okay, go down, don't forget, hurry up and sign the imperial decree, and send it to Nanzhili in [-] miles, if your delay delays the suppression of the rebellion in the Southwest, hum. "

Gu Bingqian shuddered in fright, and quickly bowed to leave.
