Chapter 1210: Forcing the Palace
After Li Yuntian entered the inner hall with the orthodox emperor, Zhang Fu and the others gathered in groups and discussed in low voices, secretly guessing what kind of entrustment the Empress Dowager of the Zhang family would give Li Yuntian.
Judging from the scene where the Empress Dowager Zhang drove out the attendants and imperial doctors in the inner hall, the Empress Dowager Zhang had important things to explain to Li Yuntian.
"The Empress Dowager decrees that all the adults will go to the audience." Just when everyone was talking, the eunuch, the chief of internal affairs of Cining Palace, pushed open the door of the inner hall and walked out, shouting loudly at a sharp voice.
"I've seen the Empress Dowager Taihang." When Zhang Fu and the others heard this, they immediately lined up, entered the inner hall, and bowed in several rows in front of the bed to salute the Empress Dowager Zhang.
"Ladies and gentlemen, excuse me." The Empress Dowager Zhang, who was sitting on the bed, smiled slightly, stretched out her hand to the void, and motioned for everyone to get up.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the emperor is young and has not yet been in charge of the government, and the government affairs of the court and China will need to be taken care of by you in the future." Waiting for Zhang Fu and the others to get up, the Empress Dowager Zhang glanced around at everyone and spoke quietly.
"The Empress Dowager, this is the duty and duty of the ministers." Zhang Fu, as a master, was naturally the head of the hundred military officials of the Chinese dynasty, and when he heard this, he hurriedly bowed down and answered.
"Taishi, the emperor is still young, and you, the important ministers of the court, need a lot of assistance to create a prosperous era of the Ming Dynasty." The Empress Dowager Zhang smiled slightly when she heard this, and said in a deep voice to the ministers who were standing down, which can be regarded as "entrusting orphans" to them.
"The ministers will keep it in mind and live up to the expectations of the Queen Mother." Hearing this, Zhang Fu and the others bowed in unison and said in unison.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the mourning family has been ill for a few days, and the emperor has been taking care of him and has no intention of handling government affairs, do you have important things to tell the emperor?" The Empress Dowager Zhang smiled slightly when she heard this, looked at everyone and said.
Although it was said to be a message to the orthodox emperor, everyone knew that this was the last time that the Empress Dowager Zhang would judge the military and political affairs of the Ming Dynasty, so they glanced at each other and looked at Zhang Fu and Yang Shiqi.
Zhang Fu is the first assistant of the military cabinet, Yang Shiqi is the first assistant of the cabinet, and the concerts reported by the Xungui group and the civilian official group have passed through their hands, so the affairs of the military cabinet and the cabinet of the civilian and noble groups are clear.
"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager, the Southern Metropolitan Divisions have been above, and I sincerely ask you to follow the example of the Northern Metropolitan Divisions to carry out military system reform, and ask the Emperor to decide." Zhang Fu, as a prince, naturally took the lead in paying homage to the orthodox emperor, and after a deep sigh, he stepped forward, bowed to the orthodox emperor and the empress dowager of the Zhang family, and said in a deep voice.
Although the military attachés of the guards under the jurisdiction of the southern capitals were reluctant to carry out the reform of the military system of the new army, the soldiers welcomed it one after another, and as the reform of the military system of the new army under the jurisdiction of the northern capitals was in full swing, the military attachés and soldiers of the guards under the jurisdiction of the southern capitals were uneasy.
Since the reform of the military system of the new army was the general trend of the imperial court, the senior military attaches of the Southern Princes knew that they could not stop it, so it was better to take the initiative to seek change.
In the military reform of the northern capital divisions, the middle and senior military attaches were able to stay in office, and the middle and low-level military attaches were the most affected, so the senior officials of those capital divisions naturally did not worry about the black yarn hats on their heads.
In fact, the Ming Dynasty also wanted to carry out military reform in the south, and solve the stubborn problems caused by the guard system once and for all, but unfortunately the national strength of the Ming Dynasty was not enough to support the reform of the new military system in the south and north at the same time.
Looking at the internal and external military affairs of the Ming Dynasty, with the fall of the Northern Yuan Dynasty and the submission of the Timurid Empire, the Xungui Group is now most concerned about when the Southern Zhudu Division will carry out the reform of the new military system, so Zhang Fu has this question.
When the orthodox emperor heard this, he couldn't help but look at the Empress Dowager Zhang, because he was young and had not yet been in power, so the country's military and political affairs were decided by the Empress Dowager Zhang.
"King Chung, what do you think about this?" The Empress Dowager Zhang's gaze fell on Li Yuntian, who was standing behind the Orthodox Emperor, and asked quietly.
Although Li Yuntian is not the head of the treasury, he knows the financial situation of the Ming Dynasty well, and the reform of the military system of the new army is led by him, so the Empress Dowager Zhang naturally has this question.
As the Empress Dowager Zhang's voice fell, the civil and military ministers at the scene looked at Li Yuntian, this matter is really only Li Yuntian can answer, you must know that the military reform of the northern capital division can be paid by the internal treasury of the martial arts hall and the orthodox emperor, and those money are earned by Li Yuntian.
To tell the truth, the funds in the treasury of the household department are not as much as the money of the Jiangwutang, and the expenditure of the Jiangwutang over the years alone is a huge amount, maintaining the daily operation of the army under the Jiangwutang and the expenses of the Jiaozhi, Liaodong, Mongolia, and Guanxi Yamen.
Therefore, when the imperial court will have the money to promote the reform of the new military system of the southern capitals, of course, depends on the plan of Li Yuntian, the god of wealth.
Moreover, Li Yuntian is now in the prime of life, and he has enough time and energy to lead the reform of the new military system of the Southern Metropolitan Division, which is incomparable to everyone present.
"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager, according to the current situation of the Ming Dynasty, the minister feels that the military system can be reformed within ten years." Li Yuntian knew that he couldn't avoid this matter, so after thinking about it carefully, he gave a deadline, and what he did was not without a purpose, but a conclusion based on Da Ming's situation.
Due to the fall of the Northern Yuan Dynasty and the submission of the Timurid Empire, there was no war worth raising around the Ming Dynasty, and the only thing to deal with was the Korean State and the Japanese State.
In Li Yuntian's view, 10 years is enough time to settle the Korean and Japanese states, and then the reform of the military system of the new army can be promoted in the south.
"Ten years!" The Empress Dowager of the Zhang family bowed slightly when she heard this, she believed that Li Yuntian would definitely do what she said, so she was relieved to have Li Yuntian's statement.
"Taishi, tell the soldiers of the Southern Zhudu Division that within ten years, the imperial court will definitely reform the military system of the new army." The orthodox emperor saw the Empress Dowager of the Zhang family nodding, so he said to Zhang Fu in a deep voice.
Zhang Fu bowed when he heard this, and then retreated into the queue, and the nobles on the scene couldn't help but have their eyes flashing, secretly thinking about how to fight for the control of the reformed Southern Capitals before this.
"The emperor, the queen mother, the ministers have three sparse plays!"
Waiting for Zhang Fu to return to the queue, Yang Shiqi took a step forward and said in a deep voice to the Orthodox Emperor and the Empress Dowager of the Zhang family, "First, although the Jianshu people are dead, they are the grandsons of Emperor Taizu after all, so they should compile the actual records to inform future generations, so as to avoid speculation among the people." ”
The so-called Jianshu people naturally refer to Emperor Jianwen, Yongle Emperor Jing after the cancellation of the name of Emperor Jianwen, the Jianwen Dynasty in those years into the Hongwu Dynasty, as a continuation of the Hongwu Dynasty, do not recognize its status as the son of the great tomorrow.
As a result, the imperial court naturally did not compile a record for Emperor Jianwen, which made Emperor Jianwen disappear from the history books of the Ming Dynasty.
With the death of Emperor Yongle, the civil officials in the court began to tend to give Emperor Jianwen a record, after all, Emperor Jianwen was once the orthodox son of heaven in the Ming Dynasty, and the literati supported Emperor Jianwen during the martyrdom, which made Emperor Jianwen gain the sympathy of the civil official group.
After the Yongle Emperor, Emperor Hongxi and Emperor Xuande are now orthodox emperors, and they are all closer to the literati and more open-minded, so the call for the civil official group to repair the record of Emperor Jianwen is getting higher and higher, Yang Shiqi took advantage of this rare opportunity to mention it, and the virtuous virtue of the Empress Dowager Zhang will definitely give the civil official group a satisfactory explanation.
"Shousuke-sama has a point." Sure enough, the Empress Dowager of the Zhang family frowned slightly when she heard this, and then looked at the Orthodox Emperor, "Your Majesty, although the Jianshu people are unforgivable, he is the grandson of Emperor Taizu after all, and the mourning family thinks that they can be revised, what does the emperor think?" ”
"I think it's possible, too." Since the Empress Dowager of the Zhang family has agreed, then the orthodox emperor will definitely not stop it, and nodded to the Empress Dowager of the Zhang clan when she heard this.
Li Yuntian secretly shook his head in his heart, Yang Shiqi proposed to edit the record for Emperor Jianwen at this time, even if she was unwilling, the Empress Dowager of the Zhang family would not refuse, after all, the orthodox emperor still needed the assistance of the civil official group, and she was doing this to appease the civil official group.
"The emperor, the Empress Dowager Taihang, Emperor Yongle once issued an edict that anyone who collects the testament of Fang Xiaoru's ministers will die, but Emperor Hongxi has rehabilitated Fang Xiaoru's ministers, so the ministers implore that this ban be lifted." Yang Shiqi then groaned for a while, and opened his mouth to say his second Shangshu, which also had a close connection with Emperor Jianwen.
"When Emperor Hongxi issued an edict to rehabilitate Fang Xiaoru and others, the mourning family was by his side, and Fang Xiaoru and others were not guilty, so Emperor Yongle's ban should be lifted, what does the emperor think?"
The Empress Dowager Zhang's face changed slightly, then she coughed, and when the coughing stopped, she looked at the orthodox emperor and expressed her opinion on this matter.
Li Yuntian noticed the slight changes in the face of the Empress Dowager Zhang, and knew that the Empress Dowager of the Zhang family was already angry in her heart, otherwise she would not have adjusted her mentality by coughing, Yang Shiqi brought up the matter of Fang Xiaoru undoubtedly to force the Empress Dowager of the Zhang family.
If you want to cancel this ban of Emperor Yongle, Emperor Xuande and the Empress Dowager Zhang have already done it, but since Emperor Hongxi, this ban still exists, which is enough to explain the royal attitude towards this matter, perhaps the civil official group does not have any other intentions, just wants to completely rehabilitate Fang Xiaoru, but in Li Yuntian's view, this move is undoubtedly taking advantage of the danger of others, forcing the Empress Dowager Zhang to agree.
"Just do what the imperial grandmother said." The orthodox emperor still did not know that the Empress Dowager of the Zhang clan had actually been engaged in a confrontation with the civil official group, and when he heard this, he bowed his head slightly, preparing to issue an edict to abolish this ban of the Yongle Emperor.
"The emperor, the empress dowager, Emperor Taizu in view of the eunuchs of the previous dynasty, once cast an iron plate to hang in the palace ......", Yang Shiqi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart when he heard this, and then bowed down again and brought out his third way.
Hearing that Yang Shiqi mentioned the "eunuch" disorderly government, Song Dashan and Wang Zhen, who were standing behind the orthodox emperor, changed their faces one after another, and even the face of the eunuch, the chief of internal affairs of Cining Palace, also showed a look of displeasure, which was the most taboo title for the inner servant.
Li Yuntian didn't expect Yang Shiqi to mention the matter of the inner court at this time, and his face suddenly changed slightly, this time it was really an out-and-out forced palace!
