Chapter 51 Impeachment of Cao Jixiang

For a moment, Zhu Qizhen couldn't think of anything, so he asked casually: "Are your martial arts skills ranked first among the guards?"

Shi Jing quickly shook his head and said: "How dare I be so arrogant? Among all the guards, the one with the best martial arts skills is Zhang Baihu."

Some people become guards because of their connections, but this cannot be guaranteed. Many people may be guards because of their connections, but their own martial arts are still passable.

After all, it was impossible for Zhang Fu to have some guards who needed protection.

The so-called poor in literature and rich in martial arts, without any family background, it is really impossible to have high martial arts skills. These noble children, their fathers or ancestors, all followed Emperor Taizong to create the world with swords and guns.

Just like Fang Zheng who guarded Datong, Fang Zheng himself was very capable, and I heard that Fang Zheng's son was also a strong general.

If there is a person who has no connections at all and became a bodyguard solely by virtue of his martial arts skills, then it must be Zhang Dachuan.

Zhang Dachuan's performance of one against ten, beheading four levels, was astonishing to these noble disciples.

With Zhang Dachuan's skill, he can be called an enemy of a hundred people. If he is well-equipped with armor and protected by elite soldiers, he can be a general who kills generals and captures the flag even in a battle involving tens of thousands of people.

Compared with Zhang Dachuan's martial arts skills in battle, these generals' disciples were all inferior.

However, that may not be the case in the future.

After all, Zhang Dachuan is now in his early thirties, which is the time when a man has the most abundant experience in physical strength and martial arts.

Zhu Qizhen knew that Zhang Dachuan had not come to take over the job yet, so he asked Shi Jing to guide the expert, holding a small bow, and shot more than a dozen arrows. He was just familiar with the bow and arrow, and there was no need to talk about accuracy.

Then I went to Wenhua Hall for class.

However, today's class taught by Wang Zhi was still exciting, but Zhu Qizhen's mind was not on this. As he talked, he turned to the debate between Huayi and Huayi, and then turned to the battle between the Central Plains dynasty and the nomads.

.

Wang Zhi saw this and said: "Your Majesty, please just wait with peace of mind. Soon, there will be a great victory on the front line. Waci defeated Arutai and had the potential to unify the grassland, so it can be considered. But I, Taizu of the Ming Dynasty,

Taizong's foundation includes millions of soldiers and nine-sided towns, which cannot be underestimated. Your Majesty should cultivate your holy virtues with peace of mind, and it will not be too late to work on your holy heart again after you take charge."

In Wang Zhi's opinion, Zhu Qizhen was obviously a little too nervous.

Zhu Qizhen smiled bitterly in his heart, but said: "Mr. Wang, I understand."

From the Taizu Dynasty to the present, although there have been minor setbacks in the campaign against the Northern Yuan Dynasty, overall, the situation has always been under the control of the Ming Dynasty.

Not only Ming Dynasty itself, but also Waci itself will not despise Ming Dynasty.

But Zhu Qizhen knew that he had created a civil fort in history.

Therefore, he paid more attention to Washi than anyone else in the world. In Wang Zhi's eyes, there was some unfounded worry.

Seeing that Zhu Qizhen was upset, Wang Zhi dismissed Zhu Qizhen's get out of class early.

After class, Zhu Qizhen felt restless and said to Wang Zhen: "Tell Kunning Palace that I am having lunch at Cining Palace so that the queen mother does not have to wait."

Wang Zhen quickly agreed and sent a young eunuch to deliver the message.

Zhu Qizhen walked straight to Cining Palace, even pushing away the banquet.

The war in Datong made Zhu Qizhen more vigilant, so now that he can walk, he does not sit still. This is to train his body so that when he has something to do in the world in the future, his physical fitness can keep up.

Zhu Qizhen walked for half an hour and arrived at Cining Palace.

Although the people in Zhu Qizhen have short legs, the most important reason is that the Forbidden City is too big.

As soon as Zhu Qizhen entered the Cining Palace, he saw the Empress Dowager holding a memorial and looking at it. Seeing him coming over, he gestured slightly and said, "Sit down."

Zhu Qizhen was often in front of the Empress Dowager, and did not need much etiquette. Zhu Qizhen sat down beside the Empress Dowager obediently, and looked at the memorial in the hands of the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager said, "You can read it if you want. I'm suing you." Then she handed it to Zhu Qizhen.

When Zhu Qizhen opened it, he found that he had impeached Cao Jixiang, robbed people's wealth, competed with the people for profits, and forced people to serve, etc. However, Zhu Qizhen was not just starting out. Now that he has read more memorials, he will also

Find the point.

He quickly found the key point in the article, which was Mentougou.

All questions about Cao Jixiang arise around the Mentougou coal mine.

"I must protect Cao Cao's good luck." Zhu Qizhen's first thought was in his mind. This was the first thing he wanted to do, and he must not make any mistakes.

Zhu Qizhen said: "My queen, please listen to your grandson."

The Empress Dowager said: "Listen, now tell me why you want to set up a coal inspection station in Mentougou."

Zhu Qizhen said: "In order to pay for the palace, the palace used to use firewood, but now it uses coal, which greatly reduces the palace expenses."

The Empress Dowager sighed softly and said, "That's all?"

Zhu Qizhen knew that there were some things that could not be hidden from the Empress Dowager, so he said: "My child thinks that all the people in Beijing use coal. This is also a big source of income."

"Coal," the Empress Dowager said, "Okay, you said it was coal. If the court officials ask you, you only need to give the first reason, and you will know the second reason. Never say it out."

Zhu Qizhen breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Thank you, empress." Zhu Qizhen also tried what is called golden words. Coal, because he casually said that it became coal. I am afraid that it was included in the official documents of the Ming Dynasty.

It's called coal.

"But do you think what Cao Jixiang did is true or false?" the Queen Mother asked.

Zhu Qizhen looked at it carefully and couldn't make a judgment for a while.

The Empress Dowager smiled and said, "Didn't your Dongchang and Jinyiwei tell you?"

Zhu Qizhen knew without thinking that Cao Jixiang was Wang Zhen's adopted son and Ma Shun was Wang Zhen's son, so naturally he wouldn't say anything. Wang Zhen was in charge of Dongchang, so naturally he wouldn't say anything.

Even if Cao Jixiang really did these things, Zhu Qizhen would not hear about them.

The Empress Dowager said: "Emperor, do you know what it means to listen both ways and to be enlightened, and to believe only one thing to be dark?"

Zhu Qizhen said: "My grandson knows."

The Empress Dowager said: "You don't know. The premise of listening and understanding is that different sounds come to your ears, and it depends on what you do. What can you hear? Listen to Wang Zhen."

Zhu Qizhen immediately said: "My grandson knows he was wrong."

The Empress Dowager said: "Let me tell you, Xiao Caozi is quite diligent in doing things, but some things are unavoidable. You don't even think about it. Mentougou is only a few miles away from Beijing. There is a big industry in Mentougou. He can be a villager in Mentougou."

Is that so? Xiao Caozi can’t handle this coal supervisory matter without using some means.”

"Now that we've got it done, why don't we let anyone call us twice."

Zhu Qizhen understood immediately and thought to himself, "I was wrong. I always thought I had a long-term vision. I'm afraid I'm not the only one who has the same long-term vision."

Zhu Qizhen could see that there was not enough firewood in Beijing and that coal must be introduced, but others could not see that.

Facts tell everyone that wherever there is profit, there will be crowds of people.

What Cao Jixiang did in Mentougou must have affected the interests of many people. These people were seeking impeachment because they actually wanted to see the Queen Mother's opinion.

After all, the Empress Dowager has always been strict with eunuchs.

Maybe if this matter is brought to light, the Empress Dowager will severely punish Cao Jixiang.

But they didn't expect that there was an emperor behind this incident.

In the eyes of the Empress Dowager, the matter of coal supervision was simply insignificant. Needless to say, the coal supervision, even if the emperor did something extraordinary, the Empress Dowager would allow it.

Of course, the Empress Dowager would not use other forces to help the emperor, nor would the foreign court be allowed to intervene.

It was to improve the emperor's memory and let him know what the big world is like.

Perhaps the coal supervisor had broken many paths, but in the eyes of the Empress Dowager, it was just the emperor's after-school homework. It was not important whether he did it right or wrong, but what mattered was that he had done it.

Zhu Qizhen immediately said: "My grandson is wrong."

The Queen Mother asked: "What's wrong?"

Zhu Qizhen said: "The mistake is to take it for granted and make hasty decisions without understanding Mentougou."

The Empress Dowager nodded slightly and said: "That's right. There are so many things in the two capitals and thirteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty that you have to deal with. You can't possibly understand them all. How should you make a decision?"
