Sun Chengzong, Shen Yongmao, Mao Wenlong and other three people remained motionless and were waiting anxiously.

"You can take a look at Qin Liangyu's handwritten letter first."

Zhu Xu came in through the side door and said directly.

Liu Shimin handed Qin Liangyu's handwritten letter to Sun Chengzong and returned to Zhu Xu.

Sun Chengzong was stunned and opened it and looked at it. Not long after, he looked slightly dark and handed the letter to Shen Yongmao, pondering without saying a word.

Although Qin Liangyu did not say in detail, he alluded to the fact that the situation in the six provinces including Shaanxi, Xi, Sichuan and Sichuan was more serious and complicated than they saw. The six provinces planned to disarmament by the Ministry of War were the key points. If this place was different from what they expected, then other places might be the same, which would have a great impact on the Ministry of War’s disarmament plan.

Shen Yongmao and Mao Wenlong finished reading it soon, and they were all silent.

Qin Liangyu's letter gave them a blow and made them rethink everything about "disarmament".

"Gemaster Sun, tell me." Zhu Xu habitually picked up a cup of tea and said without raising his head.

Sun Chengzong looked calm and raised his hand and said, "Emperor, if what Qin Liangyu said is true, it is not only 'military reform', but also 'political reform'.

Zhu Xu raised his eyebrows. He just wanted to take the opportunity to promote the establishment of the "Major Marshal's Mansion". Unexpectedly, Sun Chengzong also brought out the "political reform", which was very reasonable and could not refute.

"Shen Shangshu?" Zhu Xu's eyes turned to the Minister of War Shen Yongmao.

Shen Yongmao has been thinking that the Ministry of War’s “disarmament” has actually come to an end. If it is pushed back and started over, it will have a great impact.

He raised his hand and said, "Emperor, Qin Liangyu's words certainly have her concerns, and the court also has the idea of ​​the court. We cannot overturn everything just by just a letter. I think we can leave it alone and wait until the generals from all over the country enter Beijing next year, and then make careful deductions."

Shen Yongmao's words were mature and steadfast, but Zhu Xu still needed to settle the matter of the "Master's Mansion" before the generals from all over the country entered Beijing.

He looked at the three of them, knocked his fingers on the table, and said, "What do you think about the 'Master's Mansion'?"

When Sun Chengzong heard this, he immediately raised his hand and said, "Emperor, 'separation of military power' is the national policy, the foundation of the country, and the safety of the world is related to it. I believe that it cannot be merged. If the emperor feels that the court does not control the local army enough, it will make them lose their heads. I believe that other methods can be used..."

Shen Yongmao hurriedly followed and said, "Emperor, this 'Master's Mansion' is too powerful and I believe that separation should be carried out to protect our Ming Dynasty for thousands of years!"

Mao Wenlong has always been a marginal person in the court. At this moment, hesitated and raised his hand and said, "Prince... please think twice."

What Zhu Xu wanted to do was to establish a more forward-looking military system, which not only strengthened control over the army, but also enabled the Ming army to stay ahead of the world, remain advanced and powerful.

The Ming Dynasty is much better now than in history, and the "political reform" is also progressing steadily, especially with the input of maritime trade. His confidence in dealing with the upcoming Little Glacier has increased greatly. Chongzhen in history can last for more than ten years, and he has no reason to be unable to survive. Therefore, now is the best time for reform. When he survives Little Glacier, Western Europe still has no idea how far it has developed.

It's urgent!

Zhu Xu looked at the three people, slowly tapping his fingers on the table, nodding slightly, "I know what you said, but I plan to integrate the 'Soldier Hall and the Ministry of War', strengthen the control of the army, and increase the strength of the army. Whether it is the 'Master's Mansion' or any department, or any government, Master Sun, from today on, you will focus on this and do a good job in 'Military Reform' and 'Disarma'. Before the end of the year, I will see your progress!"

Just as Sun Chengzong was about to argue again, Zhu Xu turned to Liu Shimin and said, "When will Cao Wenzhao arrive in Beijing?"

Liu Shimin turned sideways and said, "Go back to the emperor, I expect to be able to arrive in Beijing before the end of the month."

Zhu Xu said with a slight hue, "As soon as he arrived in Beijing, he would let him come to see me, no matter how late! By the way, Lu Xiang was promoted to the Minister of War, and asked him to come to see me when he arrived in Beijing."

Liu Shimin glanced at Sun Chengzong and the other two and said, "Yes."

Sun Chengzong and the other two looked slightly tight. They all saw that the emperor's meaning was obvious, just telling them that you don't do it, so I will bypass you and do it!

"Tell me about the military discussion." Zhu Xu picked up the teacup and looked at the three people in front of him.

Sun Chengzong frowned, and for a moment he didn't know how to speak, and glanced at Shen Yongmao beside him.

Shen Yongmao was even more worried that Zhu Xu would bypass the Ministry of War and hurriedly raised his hand and said, "Emperor, the Ministry of War will discuss the matter of 'military reform' and will submit it to the emperor as soon as possible. According to last year's example, it is planned that in February next year, the generals of various places have been notified to arrive in Beijing in early February next year."

Zhu Xu put down the teacup and said, "Last year, I opened it very roughly and had no experience. This year, I must be more regular, institutionalized and meticulous. From the overall strategic situation to every detail, I must consider it..."

Sun Chengzong and Shen Yongmao listened to each other and felt their feelings.

Before the Apocalypse, the basic rules of court officials' memorials were: memorials - ministry discussions - approvals or memorials - arguments - leaving nothing. Basically these two types, but the Emperor Jing Zheng, who is in front of him, has his own ideas for everything and cannot tolerate the cabinet. The six ministries will do it themselves, and they will have to be frustrated, making them very anxious and difficult to deal with themselves.

Zhu Xu was deliberately putting pressure on them. These adults had their own thoughts. If they didn't put enough pressure on them, they would not do the same in the direction he wanted.

After saying a long list, seeing that the three adults did not refute again, Zhu Xu said, "By the way, how is Annan?"

Shen Yongmao raised his hand calmly and said, "Return to the emperor, Zuo Liangyu, Dorgon and others have written a letter, saying that Annan has surrendered and is now starting to move people from north to south. It is expected that it will be completed in the New Year. The Neijing is starting to arrange immigration..."

Zhu Xu's expression remained motionless, and his fingers slowly tapped the table, saying, "Well, Old Port, how did Luzon arrange it?"

Shen Yongmao looked up at Zhu Xu and said, "The old port is currently under the responsibility of Yang Sichang, the governor and the governor. The Ministry of War has prepared 30,000 people. A few days ago, boarded the ship in Fujian. Luzon is Yu Anxing and is rapidly building yamen at all levels..."

Zhu Xu knew all these, and Shen Yongmao said it more in detail.

These islands are quite special and cannot use inland systems at all. There is no longer arranging of the standing army of the imperial court. The yamen at all levels are quite simple and rough.

Zhu Xu raised his eyelids and looked at the three people and said, "Those pirates are generally uncivilized, they are for the wilderness. I plan to recruit famous teachers and scholars from the world's scholars, go to these places to spread the education of saints and spread my great wise and kindness. What do you think?"

Sun Chengzong was stunned. He didn't expect the emperor to have such an idea, but it seemed natural to think about it. But which of the famous teachers and scholars of the Ming Dynasty would have such a "benevolent heart" to go to the barren island to educate the barbarians?

"I think it's OK." Sun Chengzong said with disagreement.

Shen Yongmao Yuguang looked at Sun Chengzong and didn't say anything. He knew in his heart that most of the cabinet would not be willing to go to the recruitment of the cabinet. He abandoned his family and his ancestors and forgetted his ancestors and those who abandoned them were originally for those businessmen. How could he slapped himself in the face?

Zhu Xu saw it better than them. This was his preparation. In the future, he used it to block their mouths, and said casually: "I will leave this matter to the cabinet, and I will not care about it for the time being. What do you think about the candidates for the cabinet?"

Hearing the word "temporary", Sun Chengzong and Shen Yongmao looked up at Zhu Xu, feeling a bad premonition.

When Zhu Xu's eyes raised, Sun Chengzong calmed down and thought, "Emperor, there are only three people in the cabinet at present. According to the rules, there are still six people left. The cabinet is also being selected."

‘Five!’

Zhu Xu said in his heart, then pondered for a moment, and said, "I still have one in my heart when I choose the cabinet, but I want to take a look. Let's decide two before the New Year. I have one, and the cabinet will recommend another."

Sun Chengzong's eyes opened slightly. Is the emperor really going to delegate power to the cabinet?

Zhu Xu didn't care what he thought and continued, "I'll say a little more. Minister of Revenue, Minister of Personnel, and I'm planning to transfer. If you have any candidates, discuss them in the cabinet first, don't expand them, just know."

Sun Chengzong's heart was slightly shattered and his eyes looked at Zhu Xu with a strange look.

Is the emperor really delegating power, or is there another conspiracy?
Chapter completed!
