Inside Yangxin Hall.
Liu Jian and the others looked at Emperor Zheng De suspiciously.
A person who never read memorials was actually seriously reading the strategy map of the army formation?
This was simply unbelievable.
Liu Jian even doubted whether the emperor could understand the Liaodong strategy, or if the emperor was just pretending to understand.
……
Zhu Houzhao did not care about the scheming of his officials.
In his opinion, the struggle between the eunuchs and the cabinet was the best way to balance the imperial court. Without the eunuchs, the cabinet would have a direct conflict with the imperial power. If the eunuchs and the cabinet were to fight, they would not be able to fight for the imperial power.
Of course, the cabinet could not be in a weak position. If the cabinet was in a weak position, the eunuchs 'influence would be too great to deceive the higher-ups.
Zhu Houzhao looked at the Liaodong strategy.
The mobilization of the rations and soldiers was very precise. However, the general was an unknown assistant minister of the Ministry of War, and the official in charge of the mobilization of the rations was Wang Shouren, the head of the Military Selection Department.
Heart-nourishing Hall was completely silent.
Li Dongyang and Xie Qian also wanted to know if Tian Zi was pretending.
If the emperor did not understand the strategy of Liaodong, they would help him understand the method of using troops in Liaodong. They could not send Cao Zhengchun of the East Chamber or Yu Huatian of the West Chamber. Otherwise, who knew if they would take the opportunity to eradicate the opposition…
Finally, under their close watch, Zhu Houzhao put down the memorial.
"What about Wang Shouren of the Military Personnel Selection Department?”
Liu Jian cupped his hands and said,"" Your Majesty, Wang Shouren is the son of Wang Hua, the minister of the Ministry of Personnel in Nanjing. He is a talented young man and has been in office for many years. He is conscientious and conscientious…"
As soon as Liu Jian finished speaking, Zhu Houzhao said," Wang Shouren will be the general to lead the army. Vice Minister Qian Ning will be the deputy general to mobilize the rations…"
"Your Majesty, this…"
Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, and the others looked at each other. They couldn't decide whether the Emperor understood the Liaodong strategy or not.
Was it Tian Zi's nonsense?
Liu Jian cupped his hands and said," Your Majesty, the Assistant Minister of the Ministry of War, Qian Ning, is a veteran. If he is a general, he will definitely win. It is inappropriate for Your Majesty to entrust Wang Shouren with such an important task before he starts fighting!"”
Li Dongyang and Xie Qian agreed with Liu Jian's words.
"Xuanchao, I will personally test the two of them before making a decision!”
Zhu Houzhao suddenly stood up and waved his hand.""All of you can leave!"
Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, and the others were shocked!
When did His Majesty ever look so mischievous?
The Son of Heaven already had the majesty of an Emperor!
He was definitely not a naughty child!
The three ministers were shocked. They looked at Cao Zhengchun suspiciously, trying to find an answer from his face.
However, Cao Zhengchun's naive appearance was impossible to see through!
……
"Pass on His Majesty's imperial edict, announce the court!"
Wuuu…
The sound of the horn resounded throughout the Forbidden City!
Dong dong!
The drums thundered!
In the capital, all the civil and military officials who heard the drumbeats immediately straightened their court robes and headed to the Meridian Gate to wait for the court session!
Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, and the others left Yangxin Palace Hall and headed outside the Meridian Gate.
The civil and military officials gathered at the Meridian Gate. The Chief Assistant of the Cabinet, Liu Jian, and the Minister of War, Xie Qian, led the civil and military officials respectively!
……
Outside the noon gate.
The officials whispered to each other.
Today was the first time Emperor Zheng De went to court since he ascended the throne.
All the officials were looking forward to it.
They had never seen Emperor Zheng De before. They had only heard that the young emperor was very mischievous.
The military situation in Liaodong was of great importance. Other than the Emperor and the cabinet, the other officials did not know.
……
In the Yangxin Palace, Zhu Houzhao had already changed into his dragon robe under the service of the palace maids. He wore the Emperor's Sword and walked towards the Xuanzheng Hall of the Palace of Heavenly Purity.
After walking out of Yangxin Palace Hall, Zhu Houzhao glanced at Cao Zhengchun, who was following him with a bow, and said casually,""Go to the East Hall and get the words and deeds of the civil and military officials in the past 100 days!”
"Yes!"
Cao Zhengchun bowed and left. When he was far away from Yangxin Palace Hall, he stood up straight and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
"I almost fell into Tian Zi's trap…"
Cao Zhengchun felt a lingering fear. He had once thought that the Emperor was mischievous and had even let down his guard. However, what had happened today had given Cao Zhengchun a wake-up call!
His Majesty was not a mischievous youth!
His Majesty was only pretending to be mischievous. His real purpose was to distinguish between loyalty and treachery…
Forbidden City!
The Meridian Gate was wide open!
Pa!
Pa!
Pa!
Three whips resounded throughout the Forbidden City. The imperial guards stationed in the Forbidden City were jittery!
The imperial prestige of the Ming Empire was revealed!
The civil and military officials entered the Meridian Gate, crossed the Golden Water Bridge, stepped onto the white jade stone steps, and ascended the throne room of the Palace of Heavenly Purity!
This was Emperor Zheng De's first court session since he ascended the throne!
The officials were filled with anticipation.
Because most of the officials had never seen Emperor Zheng De…
The civil and military officials lined up and waited for the court to begin.
"His Majesty has arrived!"
The eunuch's bugle call sounded, and many officials looked out of the hall. They saw a young emperor with red lips and white teeth walking into the throne room!
He was wearing a flat crown, a golden dragon robe, and the Emperor's Sword at his waist…
The young emperor was handsome.
Although Emperor Zheng De was only fifteen years old, he was calm and composed. His every move was like a king's!
Zhu Houzhao ascended the throne room and sat on the golden dragon chair.
All the civil and military officials kowtowed!
"Greetings, Your Majesty! Long live our emperor!"
"Beloved ministers, please rise!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Zhu Houzhao looked down at all the civil and military officials in the court. He could see the entire throne room!
Every move of the courtiers in the palace was under his control!
The doors of the throne room were wide open. Looking out of the throne room, the view was even wider. On the white jade square, the imperial guards were guarding the imperial city. No birds were allowed to enter!
The eunuch beside Zhu Houzhao shouted,"If you have a book, report it as soon as possible. If you don't, withdraw from court!"
The officials in the court thought to themselves,""It's rumored that the young emperor is mischievous, but seeing him today, it's all nonsense. Every action of Emperor Zheng De has the demeanor of a king, how is he mischievous?”
As the eunuch's voice fell, the chief assistant of the cabinet, Liu Jian, walked out of the court and raised the ivory board in his hand."Your Majesty, I have a report!”
"Announce!"
"The Jurchen of Jianzhou rebelled, and the Liaodong Governor died in battle. Liaodong is in danger, and the urgent military intelligence of 800 miles has been sent to the palace. I recommend Qian Ning as the main general and Wang Shouren as the deputy general to assist Liaodong!”
As soon as Liu Jian finished speaking, many officials in the court began to discuss.
The ministers were filled with righteous indignation!
"The Jurchen tribes of Jianzhou have wild ambitions. Our imperial court has never mistreated the Jurchen tribes. Not only have we traded with them, but we have also given them land.”
"Your Majesty, you must wipe out the Jurchen in Jianzhou. You must not use the policy of appeasement anymore!”
"When the previous emperor was alive, he was too kind to the Jurchen tribe, causing the population of the Jurchen tribe to increase from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands in just thirty years…"
There were also people who advocated peace in the imperial court, but their voices were too weak and insignificant.
