Ming Dynasty man

Chapter 358 Brother-in-law is still Brother Li
Li Jing smiled, looked at Zhu Youjian and said: "Fu Wang is the emperor's uncle after all, so give him a chance to make meritorious deeds, so that it will be okay to show mercy to his subordinates in the future. If he doesn't know how to be funny, then stop Blame me for being rude."

"Wait a minute!" Zhu Youjian looked at Li Jing suspiciously and asked, "Brother Li, you just said that you asked Mrs. Sister-in-law to write a letter to his brother, and then brought the letter to King Zhou. King Zhou is Mrs. Sister-in-law's elder brother?"

Li Jing looked at Zhu Youjian and said strangely: "You and the queen didn't see my two wives when you went to Pingyang Mansion?"

Zhu Youjian said: "I've seen it!"

"Did the second lady tell you about her family background?" Li Jingqi asked.

Zhu Youjian shook his head again and again: "No!"

Thinking of Zhu Huiyu abandoning the identity of the princess and following him for so many years, and now that she is in charge of the center, even the emperor listens to her, but she still conceals the identity of the princess, Li Jing couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "This silly girl!"

Sighing, Li Jing said: "Your Majesty, the second wife of my family is the youngest daughter of the old King Zhou, the younger sister of the current King Zhou, Princess Minde, and her maiden name is Zhu Huiyu."

"What? The second wife is Princess Minde?" Zhu Youjian opened his eyes wide and asked in surprise.

Li Jing nodded slightly.

Zhu Youjian stared at Li Jing for a while, then suddenly sighed.

Zhu Youjian understands that it is useless for him to know the news now. If he had known that Li Jing's wife was Princess Minde a few years ago, he might have reused Li Jing a few years ago, and then he might not be reduced to what he is today. this point.

After a while, Prosecutor Zhu You sighed, and then said: "Princess Minde seems to be half a year older than me, so I still have to call you brother-in-law."

Seeing that Zhu Youjian looked a little lonely, Li Jing patted Zhu Youjian's hand lightly and said: "Your Majesty, don't think too much, aren't you living a good life now? Although you won't be in charge of politics in the future, but You will always be the emperor of Ming Dynasty, and we will always be your subjects."

Shaking his head slightly, Zhu Youjian knew that Li Jing had seen through his thoughts just now. In front of Li Jing, Li Jing seemed to be able to see no matter what he thought.For this point, I am afraid that I will never be Li Jing's opponent.

With a wry smile, Zhu Youjian said: "Brother Li, do you think I will call you brother-in-law in the future, or continue to be called Brother Li?"

"Hehe, I like that you call me in-law." Li Jing smiled.

"In-laws?" Zhu Youjian repeated it in a murmur, and after pondering for a while, finally understood the meaning of Li Jing's words, Zhu Youjian felt relieved, and immediately burst out laughing.

Seeing that Zhu Youjian was finally relieved, Li Jing smiled, turned his head to look at Yang Liufeng and said, "Be careful, this time I will use troops against the Eastern Captives. I will do my best in one battle, so logistics matters must be absolutely guaranteed. My father-in-law is old When I grow up, my body and energy are not as good as before. During this period of time, you put aside other things and fully assist my father-in-law in this matter. You are shrewd in handling things, and with your assistance, I can rest assured."

Yang Liufeng was overjoyed when he heard the words, knowing that Li Jing was planning to let him take Shen Zheng's class in the future.

To say that although everyone is a member of the cabinet, this ranking is very knowledgeable.

There are 14 members in the cabinet. Although Yuan Keli and Xu Guangqi are the first and second assistants, they don't care about things. In fact, Li Jing, the deputy prime minister, is the boss.

Next came Zhou Hengchen, then Shen Zheng, then Yuan Shu, and then myself. The equation was ranked sixth. Originally, Yu Leting should be ranked seventh. However, because Yu Leting made a mistake last time, he was demerited once and could not be allowed within a year. Promoted, therefore, even though he has the name of a cabinet member, his grade has not been raised, and he is one level behind everyone, ranking last among the cabinet members.

In addition, although everyone is a member of the cabinet, not all are deputy prime ministers. Among the remaining cabinet members, only Zhou Hengchen, who is in charge of officials, Shen Zheng, who is in charge of money, and Yuan Shu, who is in charge of foreign affairs and education, hold the title of deputy prime minister.

In the future, Li Jing will definitely be the first assistant and the prime minister, so the few remaining people will compete for the position of the second assistant.

Zhou Hengchen's ability is slightly insufficient, and the second place depends on his seniority. Li Jing will definitely not appoint him as a secondary assistant in the future, and Shen Zheng is already old, and he will retire in a few years. Once he takes over Shen Zheng The position is likely to become the second assistant of the cabinet.At that time, it was under one person and above ten thousand people.

Of course, Yang Liufeng would not think that he could take over with this assistance alone. Yang Liufeng felt that there was a sign of it because he had been Shen Zheng's deputy for many years.When he was in Pingyang Mansion, Li Jing was in charge of setting the general direction, Shen Zheng was in charge of overall work, and Yang Liufeng was in charge of specific matters. It was because of Yang Liufeng's assistance that Pingyang Mansion's current situation was created.

As for after entering Beijing, Li Jing asked Yang Liufeng to be in charge of the criminal department, mainly because there were not enough capable people under him, and another reason was because he liked Yang Liufeng's work style.

But in the final analysis, financial work is Yang Liufeng's old profession.

Moreover, among Li Jing's subordinates, only he and Zhang Ao were qualified to succeed Shen Zhengban.

From the bottom of my heart, Zhang Ao is more qualified to succeed than Yang Liufeng, but Zhang Ao has the biggest flaw, that is, lack of courage, Zhang Ao does exactly what Li Jing and Shen Zheng tell him to do.

Now that Li Jing wants to carry out a comprehensive reform of Daming, the supervisor of each department must be in charge of it alone. Zhang Ao is obviously inferior to Yang Liufeng in this regard.

Based on the above analysis, Yang Liufeng felt that Li Jing was going to let him take over.

Seeing Yang Liufeng patted his chest and promised to complete the task, Li Jing pondered for a while and said: "In fact, it is not difficult to deal with the main force of the Eight Banners of the Eastern Captives. The difficult thing is how to eliminate the remnants of the enemy and resettle those Jurchens. Now that the country's financial pressure is so great, even the soldiers It is almost impossible to support them. The burden of 15 troops is too great to allow so many people to chase and suppress the remnants of the Eastern Prisoners all over the mountains and plains.

I plan to appoint Wu Sangui as the general of Heilongjiang and Zu Dashou as the general of Liaodong after the end of the Battle of the Eastern Prisoners. They will be under the jurisdiction of Cao Wenzhao's Northern Military Region, and these two will be responsible for chasing down the remaining enemies and controlling the situation.

As for their troops, I think they will keep the cavalry and strong soldiers, and all the old, weak and remnant soldiers will be eliminated and resettled on the spot.I estimate that if the vacancies are removed, it should not be a big problem to eliminate 5 people.With the remaining 5 people, the court is still able to afford it. What do you think? "

Cao Wenzhao laughed and said: "The commander-in-chief is far-sighted, and now he is thinking about the post-war affairs in Liaodong, which is far beyond my generation. I just don't know if I should tell them about this appointment in advance?"

Li Jing waved his hand and said: "Don't make a formal announcement, you can let the wind out in secret. Zu Dashou is not very obedient. Before you completely defeat Donglu, he probably won't obey you. After you destroy Donglu, you will speak hard. , then he will obey your orders."

Cao Wenzhao nodded silently.

Zu Dashou's qualifications in the Liaodong Army are much older than him. When Zu Dashou shouldered important responsibilities, he was only a low-level officer. Now that he is asked to command Zu Dashou, I am afraid that Zu Dashou's character will really not obey his orders. act.

In fact, the troops in Liaodong are safe and sound so far because Zhu Youjian is still the emperor of Ming Dynasty.

The emperor did not order the Liaodong troops to return to King Qin, even if Zu Dashou had the courage to return to Beijing.

When they learned that the emperor was under the control of Li Jing and that the imperial court was now being issued by Li Jing, Li Jing had already made up for the military salary that was in arrears.

For the soldiers of Ming Dynasty, being a soldier is to earn money, and whoever gives the money will give their lives to them. Zu Dashou understands the truth. At this time, Zu Dashou knew that it was impossible to incite soldiers to make trouble, so he could only acquiesce in the court's current policy. situation.

But Zu Dashou fought Hou Jin for many years in the Songjin area, and even the troops of the rear army dared to challenge him. He was definitely considered a proud soldier. It was impossible for him to obediently obey orders. Li Jing also had many considerations. It didn't move the frontier army in Liaodong.

But Li Jing couldn't bear it all the time, as long as Cao Wenzhao defeated Donglu in Liaodong, if Zu Dashou still couldn't see the situation clearly, then Li Jing would definitely attack him.

Asking Cao Wenzhao to speak to Zu Dashou in advance is to let Zu Dashou take a serious look at the current situation. Li Jing believes that Zu Dashou is a smart person and will definitely obey the court's arrangement when the time comes.

In fact, what Li Jing is most tired of now is not the many government affairs, but the personnel arrangements.

Li Jing now not only needs to reuse his direct descendants, but also has to consider how to arrange the original civil servants and military generals, and try to make the original ministers feel balanced. This is why Li Jing reuses Hong Chengchou, Lu Xiangsheng, and Sun Chuanting.

Li Jing's move really had a miraculous effect. Hong Chengchou, Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chuanting were all armed forces. Even these three people accepted Li Jing's arrangement. How dare the rest of them make a mistake?But such an arrangement cost Li Jing a lot of energy.

Similarly, for the arrangement of Zu Dashou and Wu Sangui this time, it took Li Jing a long time to figure out how to arrange it.

Seeing that there were no objections from the crowd, Li Jing rubbed his forehead and said, "Okay, if you have nothing to do, you can go to work. I'll think about what to say when I meet those Mongolian princes tomorrow."

Seeing Li Jing's tired face, Cao Wenzhao watched Zhu Youjian squirm his mouth, and finally held back.

Seeing that Cao Wenzhao hesitated to speak, Li Jing thought for a while and suddenly said: "Brother Wenzhao, you have brought back a lot of cattle, sheep and horses this time. Let Zhang Ao arrange the cattle and horses. As for the sheep, don't just focus on your own troops. Gao Qi, Hong Chengchou and Lu Xiangsheng are currently encircling the bandits, give them some, and reward the brothers, they also appreciate your kindness."

Cao Wenzhao scratched his head, looked at Li Jing with an embarrassed smile and said, "Thanks to the commander in chief reminding me, otherwise Lao Cao would be scolded for not being able to do things."

Li Jing waved his hand and said nothing more.

When Cao Wenzhao saw him, he exchanged glances with Shen Zheng and Yang Liufeng, saluted Li Jing and Zhu Youjian, and then left Dongnuange.

After leaving the room, they walked for a while, Yang Liufeng looked at Cao Wenzhao and said suddenly: "General Cao, I saw that you had something to say to the commander-in-chief just now, why didn't you say it?"

Cao Wenzhao stopped in his tracks, turned his head to look in the direction of Dongnuange, sighed and said, "I haven't seen the commander-in-chief in a few months, and the commander-in-chief seems to be much older than before, and he can't tell when he is dealing with official duties. But when the official business was done, I saw so many wrinkles on the handsome face. Is the handsome 35 years old this year? When I first met the handsome a few years ago, he was so high-spirited, but now you look at the handsome body Situation. It’s not okay to go on like this! You have to arrange a few people around the commander-in-chief to take care of you! If the commander-in-chief is exhausted, what shall we do? What will Da Ming do?”
