In the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the ministers discussed matters.
The ministers in Taihe Palace had long since been convinced by this young emperor.
They did not expect that in just a few days, the changes in the capital had already surprised them enough.
However, they never expected that the raider army, which was once insufferably arrogant, would be swept away by Zhu Cixuan in half a day.
Even Li Zicheng, who had always been as cunning as a fox and had pretended to surrender countless times, had been executed.
The creator of all these miracles was the young emperor who had only ascended to the throne for six days!
All of a sudden, all the officials looked at the figure on the throne with fanatical eyes.
"Long live our emperor!"
All the officials shouted in unison, their voices revealing deep respect.
"Everyone, please rise."
Zhu Cixuan waved his hand at the ministers.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The ministers stood up respectfully, not daring to overstep their boundaries.
"Yesterday, we defeated the raiders, and the capital is temporarily safe. However, this world was already riddled with holes! If they wanted to save Da Ming's empire, this victory alone was not enough! If you have any good ideas, you can tell me.”
Zhu Cixuan glanced at the officials below the stage and asked.
Although he was a transmigrator and knew a lot about the historical process, when it came to governing the country.
He really didn't know much.
He could only propose a general direction. The specific details still needed to be perfected by these ministers.
"Your Majesty, I think we should reduce the grain tax and let the people rest!”
"Your Majesty, I believe that the Imperial Court needs to expand the army and rebuild the Brave Guard Camp.”
"Your Majesty, the chaos in the world is mostly because of corrupt officials who bully the villagers. I think we should rectify the administration of officials and eliminate corrupt officials.”
"Your Majesty, this humble subject believes that the merchant tax, overseas trade tax, mine tax, salt tax, tea tax, and dozens of other taxes should be restored to increase the court's income and fill the national treasury…"
"Your Majesty, I believe that the chaos in the northwest was caused by the drought. He could appease the refugees with work as a form of relief. Only by cultivating irrigation in the northwest region could he eliminate future troubles!”
"Your Majesty…"
The civil and military officials present all came up with suggestions.
"My dear ministers, what you say is reasonable, but with the current financial resources of the Imperial Court, it is simply difficult to maintain. Moreover, the ministers seemed to be avoiding some things intentionally or unintentionally.”
Zhu Cixuan glanced at everyone.
"Today, although the raiders have been eliminated, there are still the Xian bandits who have divided the Ba Shu region into their own. There were many generals in the court who supported the army and did not listen to the orders of the court. Outside Shanhai Pass, there are even more powerful enemies coveting our Great Ming territory! With such internal and external troubles, how can I rest in peace?”
"I know that the current Great Ming Dynasty no longer has the financial resources to support another war. Resting is a necessary measure, but we have to be vigilant. The hungry wolves in the northeast had already begun to bare their fangs!”
"In the second year of Chongzhen, Huang Taiji led a hundred thousand elites to attack the capital.! The funny thing is that when I read the memorials and archives from a while ago, there was actually a minister who suggested borrowing troops from the Eastern Krupp to quell the intruders! This was simply inviting a wolf into the house and asking a tiger for its skin!”
"My dear ministers, you avoided the important and didn't mention this at all. Do you have no confidence in me?”
Zhu Cixuan suddenly stood up and looked around at the ministers again.
"We dare not. We are afraid!"
"We dare not. We are afraid!"
……
In Taihe Palace, all the officials were kneeling.
The only ones who did not kneel were two people.
"Your Majesty! The East Krupp is ambitious and covets the land of our Ming Dynasty. In the future, it will definitely become a great trouble for our Ming Dynasty! I am willing to lead 100,000 Yulin Royal Guards to guard Shanhaiguan to defend against the Eastern Krupp! As long as I, Qi Jiguang, am still alive, and there is still one person in the 100,000 Yulin Royal Guards alive, no one can touch an inch of Great Ming's land!”
Yu Lin General Qi Jiguang stood up and said.
Qi Jiguang was a military expert and had received Zhu Cixuan's instructions, so he naturally knew the importance of Shanhai Pass.
As long as they could hold Shanhaiguan, the Dong Krupp would have to go around Mongolia if they wanted to move into the Central Plains.
However, the road to Mongolia was a long one, and the Great Ming Empire had already taken precautions.
However, the Shanhaiguan Guard General Wu Sangui was truly a despicable person!
When Chongzhen issued an order to serve the king, Wu Sangui, who was at Shanhaiguan, actually took the opportunity to ask for 800,000 military expenses…
Moreover, it only took him two to three days to get there, but he still hadn't arrived after so many days!
"General Qi, you have done a great job in clearing the raiders. I will promote you to General Ding Yuan, and you will lead 100,000 Yulin Royal Guards to guard Shanhaiguan. At the same time, let Wu Sangui immediately return to the capital to report on his work!”
"If Wu Sangui does not obey the transfer order, you can lead the army to attack Shanhaiguan!”
Shanhaiguan, Zhu Cixuan had to be controlled by him.
"General's decree!"
Zhu Cixuan glanced at him and nodded. He continued,
"The Eastern Krupp is indeed a great threat, but we just need to be careful! With General Qi there, Zhen can rest assured."
"Resisting foreign aggression requires internal stability. The most important thing right now is to resolve the problems left behind by history within the Great Ming Empire!”
"First, the Donglin Party has caused a great disaster. They formed cliques for personal gain and caused the imperial court to be in a foul mood. This party needs to be eliminated!"
" Secondly, the peasant uprisings have been erupting nonstop. Although the biggest force has just been suppressed, Zhang Xianzhong of Ba Shu is still at large! As for how to solve the problem of the northwest, I think Lord Chang's suggestion is a good idea!”
" Thirdly, the remnants of the White Lotus Society are still active everywhere. This evil sect must be completely eradicated!”
"Fourth, I am prepared to take back all military power!”
Zhu Cixuan's face was filled with killing intent.
It's not that Da Ming doesn't have weapons that can fight!
The Guanlin Cavalry, the Tianxiong Army, and the Ming Navy were all good at fighting.
However, these troops were not under the control of Zhu Cixuan.
"Your Majesty is right! I didn't expect that after living for decades, I couldn't even see through the wild ambitions of the Eastern Krupp! I beg to resign!"
The person who spoke was the minister who had sent a memorial to the Eastern Krupp to borrow troops to quell the rebellion.
"Lord Zhang, you are indeed old and are no longer suitable to work hard in the court. I will allow you to resign!”
“……”
Lord Zhang was speechless…
I don't really want to resign…
Why did His Majesty agree so readily?
Lord Zhang was about to cry!
