Emperor Tianqi looked at Luo Sigong, put the memorial aside, and asked in a deep voice: "Luo Aiqing, do you have anything else to say?" Emperor Tianqi was in a state of confusion. He had just completed a military reform in Liaodong.

So much money has been spent.

I also have shipbuilding and a navy, which may cost more than this. I have to find ways to make money. If this continues, everything may be in vain.

"Go back to the emperor, no more!" Luo Sigong saw the embarrassment on Emperor Tianqi's face and understood in his heart that it was not easy for Emperor Tianqi, so he bowed respectfully.

Nodding slowly, Emperor Tianqi looked at Luo Sigong and said, "Then go back, my dear! The trip to Liaodong is windy and windy, and it is quite hard for my dear. Go back and have a good rest, and then you can work hard for me."

"

Luo Sigong bowed respectfully, excused himself, turned around and left, and the hall fell into silence.

Sitting behind the table, Emperor Tianqi frowned, with a hint of solemnity between his brows. He lightly knocked on the tabletop, meditating quietly.

Wang Chengen on the side naturally did not dare to speak. This was not the first time that Emperor Tianqi did this. Every time Emperor Tianqi did this, he was thinking about very important things. He waved his hands to the maids and eunuchs outside to be gentle. There was only one Wang Chengen in the hall.

Serving.

He sat like this for an hour. Emperor Tianqi was so focused that he didn't notice anything, but Wang Chengen, who was standing on the side, was already sweating on his forehead. As an old eunuch, Wang Chengen's body couldn't stand it after standing like this for an hour.

The sun was setting to the west, and he suddenly felt a little hungry. Emperor Tianqi came to his senses, looked up and saw that the sun was already setting to the west. After taking a look at Wang Chengen, Emperor Tianqi realized that there was something wrong with the old eunuch.

, said quickly: "Wang Chengen, you go down and have a rest! Chen Lin has been difficult to take care of recently. Wait until the imperial doctor comes in to take a look and take good care of your body. I still want you to take care of me."

"Yes, Your Majesty! I'll go right away!" Wang Chengen was not polite, bowed and left after giving a salute. Firstly, it was because he couldn't hold on any longer, and secondly, because Emperor Tianqi didn't like his false words either.

polite.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Xiong Wencan, Secretary of the Ministry of War, comes to see you!" Chen Lin walked in with a happy face, knelt on the ground and said.

He nodded slowly. Xiong Wencan should indeed be here at this time. The assessment of Wu Zhuangyuan should also be over. I don't know who won the Wu Zhuangyuan. I hope it's not Wu Sangui. If it is this guy, how embarrassing will it be for me.

"Xiong Wencan, Minister of the Ministry of War, greets your Majesty! Long live my emperor! Long live my emperor!" Xiong Wencan knelt down in front of Emperor Tianqi and bowed three times and kowtowed nine times. He was meticulous.

Looking at Xiong Wencan with a smile, Emperor Tianqi said in a brisk tone: "Xiong Aiqing, you are not young anymore, how can you give such a big gift? Is it possible that you have made some mistake? Do you want me to show mercy beyond the law?"

Xiong Tingbi was a little stunned. He hesitated and didn't know what to say. His face turned red for a while.

"Okay, I am joking with Aiqing. I recognize Aiqing's thoughts and abilities. You are not young anymore, so you won't need such a big gift in the future!" After saying that, he turned his eyes to Chen Lin, Emperor Tianqi.

He ordered: "Please sit down!"

Getting up from the ground, Xiong Wencan had a moved expression on his face, bowed and said: "Your Majesty's love and care, I am indescribably grateful!"

Seeing that Chen Lin had moved a brocade pier, Xiong Wencan was not polite and sat on it. This was a reward from the emperor and he had to sit there with peace of mind. If he tried to push back, it would be counterproductive.

"My dear, how are you? The result of Wu Zhuangyuan is out?" Although Emperor Tianqi had a lot of thoughts in his mind, he didn't show any of it on his face. He looked at Xiong Wencan with a smile, with a trace of expectation in his eyes.

"Back to the emperor, the results have come out! Although Cao Wenzhao is the one with the best results, he must be the number one scholar in Wu, Wu Sangui is second in the list, Zuo Liangyu is the third best, and Wang Chang is the best in Chuanlu. As for the names of the other Jinshi, they are all.

Here it is, please take a look at it, Your Majesty!" Xiong Wencan took out the things in his arms, held them up with his hands, and said respectfully.

After hearing Xiong Wencan's words, Emperor Tianqi breathed a sigh of relief. Wu Sangui got the second place. Historical celebrities are indeed worthy of mention. However, Cao Wenzhao was able to defeat Wu Sangui, and Emperor Tianqi was naturally very excited. This person is more famous in history.

Wu Sangui was much stronger, and now his abilities were stronger than Wu Sangui's. Emperor Tianqi naturally breathed a sigh of relief.

Taking the list over, Emperor Tianqi quickly scanned it, but he didn't see any familiar names on it. Putting the list aside, Emperor Tianqi smiled and said to Xiong Wencan: "Tomorrow, we will start arranging for the three people in the first class to praise themselves.

It is also three days, this is no different from the imperial examination. In three days, I will hold a Qionglin banquet in the palace for all these martial scholars to participate."

As Xiong Wencan listened, he felt frightened. Emperor Tianqi spared no effort in promoting warriors. He could also guess how much. Now the army is weakened and the frontiers are restless. Emperor Tianqi also hopes to inspire the morale of the army and the people, and also hopes that through this

The selection of soldiers was used to increase talents for the Ming Dynasty's army, which could sweep away the military decline of the Ming Dynasty.

However, Xiong Wencan knew clearly in his heart that if he wanted to have a good army, he had to have money to invest in it. In the current situation of the Ming Dynasty, there was not enough money, and the army could only do so. Other things that could only be said to be possible were not actually implemented.

Neither can silver.

"Xiong Aiqing, how do you think these Jinshi should be distributed?" Emperor Tianqi asked another question, looking at Xiong Wencan with a smile on his face, and a bit of expectation in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, I have thought about this matter. Civilian Jinshi will go to various ministries to observe the government, and these military Jinshi will also be sent to the army. I have decided that the army around the capital can do it. After three months, I will grant the

A military position is more suitable." Xiong Tingbi expressed his thoughts, and it was obvious that this was an idea that had been conceived for a long time.

Emperor Tianqi nodded with satisfaction. This is naturally the best, but he is also a little dissatisfied. The twelve guards in the capital are all pro-military yamen, so there is no need to ask about their combat power. Now they can serve as an army to watch the government.

I'm afraid it's the third camp, so it's quite appropriate to put him there with Sun Chuanting.

"Send them all to the third camp. I will ask the cabinet to write a statement on this matter as soon as possible. And there is the issue of the official positions of these Wujin sergeants. I want to send some of them to Liaodong, where the king is being reorganized.

"Master, it's time to hire people. The other part of me wants to keep them in the third camp. It would be good for some young people to go in." Emperor Tianqi looked at Xiong Wencan and said with a smile.

Xiong Wencan wouldn't say anything about this kind of thing. Firstly, there was nothing wrong with Emperor Tianqi's arrangement. Secondly, it was the unspoken rule of the Ming Dynasty's officialdom. As the Minister of War, Xiong Wencan still had certain power over the appointment and dismissal of generals. This

Not even the Jin Yiwei could escape, let alone other armies. If Xiong Wencan was interested in the appointment of these Wu Jinshi or interfered with Emperor Tianqi's decision, it would be dangerous.

At this time, ministers, there is no problem if you write a letter to scold the emperor. The worst you can do is to get a slap from the court. The emperor will not kill people because of this, but if you are too interested in military power, it is very easy to be jealous.

"The emperor's arrangement is really great! I am so impressed!" Xiong Wencan directly patted a horse, but it was obviously not very clever.

Looking at Xiong Wencan with a smile, knowing that he was blushing, he smiled and said: "You! Look at this!" As he said that, Emperor Tianqi handed Sun Chengzong's instructions on reorganizing the army to Wang Chengen and asked him to pass it to Xiong Wencan.

For a moment, Xiong Wencan didn't know what Emperor Tianqi was going to do. When he unfolded the memorial and took a look, Xiong Wencan's eyebrows suddenly wrinkled tightly. The muscles on his face were twitching and his lips were trembling.

"Your Majesty, I think this seems to be a bit difficult, and everything else is secondary. The main issue is the silver. Mr. Sun said that seven million taels of silver are needed every year. This expense is really too big, and the national treasury cannot bear it!

"The military salary of the Liaodong army is all paid by the tax money of Liaodong. The money that is not enough will be paid out of my internal treasury. It is better to keep the money from the treasury!" Looking at Xiong Wencan, Emperor Tianqi said in a serious voice.

He was not as happy as he had imagined. There was still no smile on Xiong Wencan's face, but there was a bit of sadness on his face. No matter who paid this money, it was not a small amount, and the money in the emperor's inner treasury was not infinite. There would always be a day when it was gone.

ah!

However, Xiong Wencan also knew that this was not his responsibility. Although he was the Minister of the Ministry of War, he could not control it. He hoped that Emperor Tianqi would not do stupid things and not touch the money that should not be touched, otherwise things would be very troublesome.

"The emperor has no sages, and I have no objection to this matter! However, I feel that Master Sun is in charge of the preparation of the new army in Liaodong, which will not be implemented in the future. Your Majesty should send an imperial envoy from the central government, and then replace Master Sun from Liaodong!"

Xiong Wencan thought about these words for a long time, and finally couldn't hold it back this time. After speaking, he looked at Emperor Tianqi's expression.

After all, Sun Chengzong's status is there, and everyone knows that Emperor Tianqi trusts Sun Chengzong. If Emperor Tianqi is offended because of this matter, it will really be more gain than loss!

"Aiqing, this is a plan for the country. I understand it in my heart, but I also have ideas. There is no problem with Sun Aiqing's ability and loyalty. Things in Liaodong are so difficult, I don't want to stumble Sun Aiqing anymore." Emperor Tianqi looked at Xiong Wencan.

, with a smile on his face, but his expression was full of confidence.

After giving a salute to Emperor Tianqi, Xiong Wencan said respectfully: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" He couldn't say anything else. Those words just now were all said by Emperor Tianqi, and they contained his trust in Sun Chengzong.

Emperor Tianqi didn't think this matter was worth discussing. Now he is thinking about one thing, which is the long-planned private tour. (To be continued. If you like this work, (.) vote for recommendation and monthly vote
