Ming Dynasty: Starting from Liaodong Jiangmen

Chapter 90
Xiangnuan Pavilion.

"On March [-]th, just after the war ended, His Majesty ordered me to go to Tianjin in April to reorganize the military equipment as the Imperial Censor of the Imperial Palace. I will take up my post in the next few days, over there in the Beijing camp."

Li Banghua sat in the elegant room and sighed as he talked about this.

"From now on, we will all rely on Li Xunwei."

"Oh no, now I'm going to call myself Uncle Ning Yuan, congratulations!"

Li Shunzu was wearing gray clothes and sitting opposite Li Banghua in disguise. He waved his hand after hearing this.

But in my heart, I deeply believed the warnings of Xining Marquis Song Yude, Yongkang Marquis Xu Xideng, Wu'an Marquis Zheng Zhijun, and Fengcheng Marquis Li Kaixian. They also punched the table hard, and the delicious food on the table was also Can't arouse the slightest appetite.

"There are traitors and sycophants in power in the court, and it's time for the Beijing camp to be reorganized. Without Li Yushi's mediation, it would be difficult to accomplish this!"

"His Majesty has ascended the throne at a young age. Although he is about the same age as Ning Yuanbo, he was able to act decisively and eradicate Wei Zhongxian's eunuch disciples at the beginning of his accession. His scheming and methods are much higher than those of his peers."

"However, its city is very shallow, and it is easy to get angry when things happen. When angry, bad things will happen, and flatterers will succeed."

Li Banghua raised his head and spoke slowly. His tone did not seem to be a compliment to Chongzhen, but his next words were more like a hint of anxiety and uneasiness.

"What worries me is not that I am away from the government and going to Tianjin to reorganize the army, but that Your Majesty will recall Hu Shi'an, the Minister of War, who is in charge of the grain supply in Sichuan, and Wang Zhixin, the eunuch who supervises the army in Shandong, in early April."

"It is said that Wang Zhixin was promoted to the fifth position of Secretary of Ceremony in Beijing because of his meritorious service in supervising the transportation of grain, ranking below Che Tianxiang."

"Neither of these two people advocate rectification of the Beijing camp. It can be seen that His Majesty also has the intention of replacing Che Tianxiang, the admiral and military eunuch of the Beijing camp. When the time comes to rectify the Beijing camp, Ning Yuanbo will be alone. All internal aid will be lost. I hope you will act cautiously and protect yourself! "

"Mingzhe protects himself?" Li Shunzu looked at Li Banghua in surprise, hearing clearly the changes in the current situation. He didn't reply at the moment, but frowned, not knowing what he was thinking about.

Even this hard-working man who advocated rectifying the Beijing camp has now retreated.

It seems that this capital city is really as the four Jingnan nobles said, the water is so deep and muddy that ordinary people cannot stand.

Perhaps, actively requesting a transfer back to Liaodong is the only way?
Li Banghua saw the confusion in Li Shunzu's eyes, and sighed, "It's not because we don't do something, but the situation is really difficult. It is no longer possible to rectify the capital camp. Che Tianxiang is also staying behind closed doors. Uncle Ning Yuan should do it." The only way is to retreat bravely from the rapids."

"You Li family members are either transferred to frontier fortresses or employed in empty posts. If Ning Yuanbo wants to succeed, his first priority is not to follow in the footsteps of your ancestors and stay in positions of real power. That is what he needs to do." of."

"Although the Beijing camp has real power, this power does not belong to the three ministers of the Beijing camp, but behind the scenes."

"When necessary, the best policy is to retreat in order to advance!"

What Li Banghua said, Li Shunzu also listened.

Fortunately, with the reminder from the four distinguished nobles that day, Li Shunzu did not make much noise in the Beijing camp. He only laid off hundreds of redundant personnel, and it was not too late to stop now.

Now, Li Shunzu finally knows why the capital camp collapsed in the late Ming Dynasty.

Does this cheer you up?

The real power of the Beijing camp seems to lie with the three ministers, the Assistant Minister of Rongzheng, the Admiral of the Rongzheng Internal Affairs, and the Governor of the Rongzheng and Military Affairs. However, these three people are actually scapegoats. Even Chongzhen may not know who really holds the power of the Jingying.

Li Banghua, Li Shunzu and Che Tianxiang all advocated the rectification of the Beijing camp.

But as soon as he took the first step, he suffered a devastating blow.

Li Shunzu's civilian ally in the court, Li Banghua, the imperial censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, was directly transferred away. Thinking about it, everyone knew that the new minister of war, Hu Shian, was not a fuel-efficient lamp.

And until now, Li Shunzu didn't know who was secretly obstructing him from rectifying the capital camp.

Maybe it's the same as what Xining Marquis Song Yude, Yongkang Marquis Xu Xideng, Wu'an Marquis Zheng Zhijun, and Fengcheng Marquis Li Kaixian said, this is just a small test of the so-called big man behind the scenes, with the intention of giving himself a warning.

If there are further moves to rectify the Beijing camp, it may not only be Li Banghua who is transferred.Li Shunzu also saw clearly from this incident that although he had repeatedly made military exploits during the Yisi Incident, succeeded in seizing the title of Ning Yuanbo, and successfully became a true military aristocrat, he still had no say in the capital, a place where good and bad people were mixed.

"Before I left Beijing, I made many requests to meet with His Majesty, but all came to nothing. All I received was an official document from the cabinet urging him to go to Tianjin to take up his post!" Li Banghua said, sneering uncontrollably and looking bleak.

"Can't even Li Yushi see His Majesty?" Li Shunzu was a little surprised and said subconsciously: "Then if I are plotted by them, wouldn't I not even be able to see His Majesty's face, and I will be transferred away?"

Li Banghua nodded, and the two looked at each other with helplessness on their faces.

Perhaps if the rectification of the Beijing camp continues, this is the ending waiting for the two of them.

"hateful!"

"In the center of the capital, the emperor's ministers are all these hypocritical people. How can the Ming Dynasty be revived?"

Li Shunzu stood up, also made up his mind, and said sincerely, "I hope Li Yushi will take good care of him during his trip to Tianjin. When I return home today, I will go to Shu and ask to resign from the position of governor of Beijing camp."

"But before leaving office, there are still some things that need to be arranged."

When Li Banghua heard this, he immediately understood Li Shunzu's intention to return to his hometown in Liaodong for development.

He didn't object, just a little embarrassed.

"I'm afraid it would be easy for Uncle Ning Yuan to resign as governor of the capital, but it would be as difficult as climbing to heaven to leave the capital!"

Li Shunzu was stunned and angry.

"What, why can't I afford to offend you and hide away?"

Li Banghua shook his head slightly and sighed: "Those treacherous people in the court also know that your Liaodong Li family still has great power in Liaodong. Uncle Ning Yuan wants to return to Liaodong, so he can't open his mouth. Let's do this. Send the Buddha to the west. I'm here. Before leaving, I would like to report to Your Majesty to recommend you to take up a post in Liaodong!"

"I want those treacherous people to be released and this memorial to be heard in heaven and known to His Majesty. Uncle Ning Yuan's position is lower."

Li Shunzu was mentally prepared for this and exhaled deeply.

"How low is it?"

Li Banghua thought for a while and said: "If you want to make those people feel that Ning Yuanbo is no longer a threat, a General Ning Yuan should be enough."

"General? I have made so many military exploits, am I still just a general?" Li Shunzu was a little angry. Those bloody battles were not only for the Ming Dynasty, but they were also a sacrifice of blood.

Is this all you can do to be a general?

Li Banghua also shook his head and said with a smile: "This is already too much. I want those people to agree that Uncle Ning Yuan will not only keep his residence in the capital, but also marry a wife and start a family in the capital, and leave his family in the capital."

"In this way, those people can feel that Uncle Ning Yuan has something in their hands."

Li Shunzu never expected that the water in the capital would be so deep. Under the current situation, it is difficult to not only continue to rectify the capital camp, but also to get out and stay away from the capital.

"Get married?"

Li Shunzu suddenly thought of something and said in shock: "What the censor means is that you want me to get married in the capital and then leave my wife in the capital as a hostage?"

Seeing Li Banghua nod helplessly, Li Shunzu became furious and started to fight.

"Then what if I don't have a family?"

　Sorry, everyone, the book friends in the book club know that Shitou's grandfather was hospitalized a few days ago and his physical condition was not very good, so he took leave to go back to his hometown to take care of him, and he just came home today.
