Cao Huachun came to the Palace of Heavenly Purity, travel-worn. When he saw that Wang Chengen had just left, he was very anxious.
He had followed the current emperor when he was in Prince Xin's mansion. It should be said that he should be put in an important position.
However, he had only been out for a month, and the internal court had changed too much. For a moment, he felt a sense of urgency.
Especially since Wei Zhongxian's power was restricted and Ke shi was secretly executed by Wei Zhongxian, the atmosphere was extremely abnormal.
The entire East Chamber was mobilized as a group, arresting the officials of the court like mad dogs.
However, Cao Huachun was not jealous and was very calm.
He had a feeling that the Emperor did not promote him to the position of a pen-wielding eunuch or the commander of the West Branch because he sympathized with the Donglin Party.
Cao Huachun entered the Palace of Heavenly Purity and instructed Cao Wenzhao and Cao Bianjiao to listen to the announcement outside the palace. He then entered the main hall alone.
Seeing that Zhu Youjian was looking through the memorials and approval documents from the cabinet, he did not dare to disturb him and could only stand to the side and wait.
After about the time it took to make a cup of tea, Zhu Youjian put down the memorial and looked up at Cao Huachun."Cao Da Ban, bring Cao Wenzhao and his nephew in!”
Cao Huachun felt warm in his heart when he saw the emperor address him as before. It could be said that neither Old Wei nor Wang Tiqian had such treatment.
In the entire internal court, besides him, the only one who had this intimate title was Wang Chengen.
"This servant will call them in…"
Cao Huachun originally did not need to go personally. He only needed to instruct the eunuchs outside the palace to wait.
However, Cao Huachun still came out personally. After all, the Cao family's uncle and nephew were in the emperor's heart and were deeply liked and trusted by the current emperor.
Otherwise, the emperor would not have asked him to personally summon the Cao family's uncle and nephew to the capital.
From this, it could be seen that the Cao family's uncle and nephew were the generals who were favored by the Emperor after Lu Xiangsheng, Zhou Yuji, and Yan Yingyuan.
At present, the Ming Dynasty was in trouble both internally and externally. Except for Liaodong, the nine sides had been corrupted and could not be reused.
The first three were all commanders of the nine border towns, and none of them were not promoted.
Especially Yan Ying Yuan, who had been promoted from an officer to the commander of the army.
Now, it was the Cao family's uncle and nephew's turn. Their status must not be low.
After all, Cao Wenzhao was now a guerrilla general. With such a position, it was only natural for him to be promoted to the commander.
"His Majesty has summoned the two generals.”Cao Huachun said gently.
Cao Wenzhao and Cao Bianjiao were very nervous, worried that they had made a mistake and angered the emperor.
Although Cao Huachun spoke gently along the way, he did not express any opinions.
They were very tight-lipped and did not say why the emperor had summoned them.
"This subject Cao Wenzhao (Cao Bianjiao) has been summoned for an audience. Long live Your Majesty!”
The uncle and nephew's voices were like a great bell, shaking people's ears.
Cao Huachun was about to scold him, but he was stopped by Zhu Youjian, who smiled and said,""As expected of the two tiger generals of my Great Ming. Their voices are so loud. Not bad, not bad!”
Cao Wenzhao suddenly understood why Cao Huachun was angry. It turned out that he disliked their loud voices.
However, after hearing Zhu Youjian's words, his heart warmed. It was obvious that the Emperor knew about their generals.
"My two beloved ministers, please rise!"
Zhu Youjian liked Cao Wenzhao from the bottom of his heart and did not think that Ming lacked talents.
In fact, Da Ming did not lack talents at the moment. On the contrary, there were many talents.
However, they were controlled by the civil officials, and most of the commanding power fell into the hands of the civil officials, forming a pattern where literature was valued and martial arts were despised. They had already walked on the old path of the Song Dynasty.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The uncle and nephew stood up and waited for Tian Zi's order.
"Summoning the two beloved ministers to quickly enter the capital is truly because the three battalions of the Great Ming's capital are already in shambles and are not enough to protect the capital.
Therefore, I summoned the two beloved ministers and will let the two generals take charge of the palace guards for me.
I allow the two beloved ministers to reorganize the three battalions of the capital, eliminate corruption and retain the essence, and select elite soldiers to enter the palace guards.
As for the three battalions, they would be kept for the time being.
After the Imperial Guards officially form an army, I will abolish the three camps in the capital and change them to the Imperial Guards, the Golden Guards, and the Tiger Guards, each with a full strength of one hundred thousand.”
Cao Wenzhao and Cao Bianjiao had not expected the Emperor to have such boldness. The three battalions of the capital had long since fallen into disarray, and all the civil and military officials knew this.
Now that the emperor wanted to reorganize the three camps and even wanted to abolish them, it was obvious that he wanted to see the results of the palace guards 'reform.
He suddenly felt his courage grow heavier. The Imperial Guards, Golden Guards, and Tiger Guards were the most important forces protecting the capital.
Only the generals trusted by the emperor could take up the post. Now that the emperor had directly given them such a heavy responsibility, they had the belief that they would die for their confidants.
" Your Majesty, the three battalions are held by the disciples of distinguished figures. I'm worried…" Cao Wenzhao immediately voiced his concerns.
" General Cao, don't worry," Zhu Youjian said." After you take office, I will give you two thousand elites to help train and reorganize.
Each of these elites could take on the role of a commander and a team leader. They could even take on the role of a commander.
Two thousand officers are enough for the two generals to control and train. I have a set of training methods here.
The two of you only need to follow the strict training method and strict requirements.
Three months later, I will go to the palace guards to inspect the troops and test their condition and quality.”
After saying that, he immediately picked up two books on training methods that he had already prepared and signaled Cao Huachun to give them to Cao Wenzhao and his nephew.
"Tomorrow, the two generals will report directly to the palace guards camp. Cao Huachun will lead my guards to await orders.
The decree also came, and the equipment would arrive in three days. Cao Daban would personally supervise this matter.
If they encountered any difficulties or were obstructed by anyone from the three battalions, they would be killed immediately, no matter who they were.”
Cao Huachun was stunned. The emperor had truly made up his mind to reorganize the three battalions of the capital, and those dignitaries were probably in trouble.
Thinking of this, Cao Huachun thought to himself,""It seems that I have to give those nobles a hint not to cross the emperor's bottom line.
Since Tian Zi has already made up his mind, no matter who it is, they must obey. Otherwise, don't blame me for being merciless.”
He finally understood why His Majesty wanted him to personally summon Cao Wenzhao and his nephew to march.
It was obvious that His Majesty already had the intention to reorganize the military camp and was worried that he would not be able to do the job, so he directly selected two Ming generals to suppress and train.
His Majesty was about to make a big move, especially those 2,000 elite soldiers who were guarding the Palace of Heavenly Purity.
Who would have thought that His Majesty would secretly control 2,000 such elites? It was truly terrifying.
After Cao Wenzhao received Zhu Youjian's edict, all his worries disappeared.
This was a test for the Cao family. If they failed the test, the Cao family would decline.
From then on, the Cao family would soar. Obviously, after the emperor ascended the throne, the first fire was the Ming army.
Although they were fighting in Liaodong, it was not as if they did not understand this newly ascended emperor.
Although the emperor did not change the positions of the ministers in the court, he bypassed the cabinet and directly appointed Lu Xiangsheng, Zhou Yuji, and Yan Yingyuan as the commanders of the nine border towns.
This was a secret appointment, and the cabinet had yet to notice His Majesty's actions.
Now that the Emperor had set his sights on the three camps, it was clear that the Emperor was not doing nothing, but was secretly plotting something.
In Liaodong, they had heard that Lu Xiangsheng, Yan Yingyuan, and Zhou Yuji were already reorganizing their troops and killing many officers who did not do anything.
The reason why there was no reaction from the court was because the emperor did not make any moves in the court. It was as if he was waiting for some people who were courting death to appear and then kill the chicken to scare the monkey.
Thinking of this, Cao Wenzhao and his nephew excitedly said,"I thank Your Majesty for your kindness. Three months later, I will definitely give Your Majesty a satisfactory answer and will not disappoint Your Majesty.”
