Zhu Ciao's best plan was simple. To put it simply, he would use the troops from Jiliao, Hebei, and Shaanxi to exchange with the Beijing camp!
Just as Zhu Ciyao had said, he had yet to start reorganizing the capital camp, so the nobles of the capital must still think that Chongzhen did not know that they were receiving empty salaries.
As long as Chongzhen suddenly inspected the capital camp, they definitely wouldn't let the old, weak, sick, and disabled come to show Chongzhen, right?
They would definitely bring out their elite generals to make up the numbers!
At this time, Chongzhen would issue an edict to transfer all these generals to Ji Liao, Shaanxi, Hebei, and other places!
The other armies of these three places would take over the capital camp and protect the capital. This was his military power!
It was impossible for these military dignitaries to interfere!
He directly crippled the nobles!
He couldn't even get up!
As long as he held military power, he could reorganize the imperial court however he wanted. He could kill all the civil and military officials in the court however he wanted!
Was he afraid that they would go against him?
If they didn't cooperate, he would kill them all!
" Haha!"
"My son Ci, this is a wonderful plan!"
Chong Zhen laughed out loud, and all the gloominess was swept away. His entire person was radiant, as if he had been reborn!
When Empress Zhou saw this, she couldn't stop crying. Her husband finally understood.
It was all thanks to Pin 'er!
Wang Chengen also breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Zhu Cishi with some surprise. He did not expect Zhu Cishi to have such wisdom at such a young age!
There was hope for the Great Ming Dynasty's revival!
At the same time, Wang Chengen secretly warned himself that he could not treat this young master as a child in the future!
Otherwise, when this young master succeeds the throne in the future, he would probably be unlucky!
Zhu Ci Xin heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. As long as Chongzhen did not seek death, he could wait for death in peace again!
After being happy for a while, Chong Zhen looked at the Empress and said,""Empress, you see, zhen has long said that Pin 'er is very intelligent.”
"Yes."
Empress Zhou was also moved to wipe her tears. Her heart was filled with complicated emotions as she said,"Pin 'er is able to share Your Majesty's worries at such a young age. ChenQie is really happy!”
"Then you won't object to Pin 'er following zhen to handle the government in the future, right?”Chong Zhen laughed.
"No objections." Empress Zhou had no reason to object after experiencing this matter.
Chongzhen was in a good mood. Now that he had a solution, he had to implement it immediately!
He was already starting to get impatient!
But just as he was about to open his mouth to instruct Wang Chengen, he remembered where to mobilize the troops.
Chong Zhen hesitated for a moment before continuing to ask,""Pin 'er, where do you think it's best to mobilize the troops?”
"Cao Wenzhao's guerrilla general Cao Bianjiao can lead the two guards back!”Zhu Ci Xin replied.
"Cao Bianjiao, yes, he's a good general!”
"You can lead the capital camp!"
Chong Zhen nodded thoughtfully. He had heard of Cao Bianjiao before. He was very brave and would take the lead in exterminating thieves.
And Cao Wenzhao's nephew, loyal and reliable!
"Cao Bianjiao can't do it!"
"Cao Bianjiao can be a fierce general, but he lacks the ability to command!" Zhu Ciyao shook his head.”
This wasn't to say that Zhu Ciji was belittling Cao Bianjiao. Cao Bianjiao was indeed a fierce general, but a general was a general, and a handsome was a handsome. They were different!
" Then..." Chong Zhen looked at Zhu Ci Xin in confusion.
"You can transfer Hong Chengchou back to lead the capital camp!”Zhu Ci said indifferently.
Chong Zhen was a little puzzled because Hong Chengchou was Yang He's confidant. Although he was not in the ten clans, he was still implicated!
Letting Hong Chengchou come back to reorganize the capital camp?
Chongzhen was a little worried!
However, Chong Zhen quickly reacted!
Hong Chengchou was implicated. If he could simply let him lead the capital camp, he would definitely be able to win over Hong Chengchou's heart!
He wanted Hong Chengchou to be even more loyal to him!
At the thought of this, Chong Zhen's eyes immediately surged with excitement. He said excitedly,"My son Ci Xu is really smart!”
"Haha, good, good, good!"
"Great Ming has my son Cixi, so he has a successor!”
Chongzhen praised!
When Empress Zhou heard this praise, she also beamed with joy. Although she didn't know much about government, her husband had praised Pin 'er, so Pin' er must be very good!
Then, Chongzhen immediately asked Wang Chengen to issue an edict.
However, Chongzhen issued an imperial edict without going through the cabinet and the six departments. He secretly ordered Cao Bianjiao to lead his troops back to the capital!
After all, the imperial court was still very nervous, and Chongzhen did not want any more trouble.
……
……
While Chong Zhen, Zhu Ci, and the others were discussing.
All the dignitaries of the capital had gathered at the Duke of Cheng's estate.
The influence of the nobles in the court was not as great as before, and the descendants of the nobles were basically useless.
The only person who still had some say in the court was the Duke of Cheng, Zhu Chunchen.
He was also the leader of the current nobility.
"Duke of Cheng, His Majesty is furious this time. Many of the people who were implicated by Yang He have a good relationship with us. Will His Majesty continue to investigate?”
"His Majesty has found so many corrupt officials this time. If he wants to rectify the court and the administration of officials, I'm afraid we'll be in trouble!”
"Duke of Cheng, quickly give me an idea.”
“……”
The dignitaries were panicking.
Because they were more or less dirty in private.
How many people in the imperial court had clean buttocks?
"We are just smuggling. What can Your Majesty do even if he finds out?”
Zhu Chunchen chuckled." At most, he will reprimand us. Moreover, the twenty-six guards of His Majesty's personal army have been crippled, and the capital camp is in our hands. If I were to say something disrespectful, what would His Majesty dare to do to us?”
"Duke of Cheng, I was also worried about this. After the siege of the capital, there was news that His Majesty wanted to reorganize the capital camp!”
"If Your Majesty finds out that the capital camp, which is said to have 120,000 elites, only has less than 60,000 soldiers now, you will be able to escape.”
"I'm afraid we won't be able to escape death!" Li Guozhen smiled bitterly.
"60,000 soldiers is not too little!”
"That's right. Even if His Majesty wanted to inspect the capital camp, he couldn't possibly count them one by one, right?”
“……”
As for checking the roster, they were already prepared and were not afraid at all.
"Hehe, of these forty thousand people, they are our own generals.”Li Guozhen smiled.
"What?!"
"In that case, there are less than 20,000 people left in the 120,000-strong capital camp?”
"Uncle Xiang Cheng, aren't you being too ruthless? That's 120,000 elites from the capital camp!”
"That's right. This is equivalent to having 120,000 empty salaries. If His Majesty finds out about this, what should we do?”
“……”
The dignitaries were shocked and complained about Li Guozhen.
Li Guozhen was now the governor of the capital camp. He controlled the entire capital camp. He was the only one who knew the situation in the capital camp. The other dignitaries were not very clear.
However, the other dignitaries knew that the capital camp definitely did not have enough soldiers.
However, they had never thought that the capital camp would be so short of slots.
This could simply be described as one in ten!
It was simply ridiculous!
"Hehe, everyone, now you're blaming me?”
"That was not what you said when you took the money back then!”
"If His Majesty finds out, none of you will be able to escape!" Li Guozhen sneered.”
