"Everyone, please send someone to recheck the matter of Chang Ding Bao Da Jie!"

In Wenyuan Pavilion, Zhang Juzheng, who was still wearing cloth clothes and corner belt, after grading a memorial in his hand, raised his head and looked at the several pavilion elders in the pavilion and said in a deep voice.

"Uncle, there's no need for that!"

As the Second Assistant to the Cabinet, and as the presiding officer of the Cabinet during Zhang Juzheng's departure from Beijing, he immediately expressed his opposition to Zhang Ju's request to re-examine the victory of Changdingbao.

"Master Chief Assistant, Your Majesty's edict on rewards has been issued. If we go to verify it now, wouldn't it be..."

Following Lu Tiaoyang, the skinny Zhang Siwei also expressed his opposition to Zhang Juzheng's proposal for the first time.

"Rumo, do you also think this matter is unnecessary?"

Ignoring Lu Tiaoyang and Zhang Siwei, Zhang Juzheng looked at Shen Shixing, the youngest member of the cabinet, and asked.

"Master Chief Assistant, it would be great if there is no problem after re-verification. But if something is really found to be wrong, wouldn't it damage His Majesty's prestige?"

Being called by Zhang Juzheng to speak, Shen Shixing, the youngest cabinet bachelor, was also under great pressure at this moment.

"It seems that you all think that this assistant has done something unnecessary? Look at this!"

After glancing at the three cabinet ministers, Zhang Juzheng did not argue with them, but coldly threw out two memorials. Needless to say, these must be the investigation results of Fang Fengshi, the Minister of the Ministry of War, and the Censor of the Liaodong Patrol.

"Hundreds of Tatar cavalry, because they offended Tumen Khan, drove their cattle and sheep and baggage to seek the protection of the Ming Dynasty. The result? Tao Chengyu, a killer, in vain to seek promotion, ignored the imperial decree and border policies

, kill and surrender, and undermine the credibility of the imperial court. Don’t you see the harm in this?”

"In addition, His Majesty is new to government affairs and has little experience, but you are all old men in officialdom. Don't you see the fishiness in this and just watch His Majesty make mistakes? Is this what you should do as a minister?"

Although it was just a piece of clothing, no one dared to look at Zhang Juzheng, who was so full of aura.

"Uncle, Your Majesty needs a victory, and the court needs a victory even more, a clean victory!" Finally, Lu Tiaoyang, who was still the second assistant, stood up and sighed softly.

"Brother Heqing, I understand what you mean. His Majesty has just got married and really needs a big victory to enhance his prestige. But can this kind of false and self-deceptive 'victory' enhance his prestige? Are you trying to get your Majesty to do this?

Leave a stigma in the history books!”

Zhang Juzheng, who has always had the goal of cultivating the little emperor into a generation of holy masters in addition to the New Deal, is really angry at this moment!

"Then where is your Majesty..."

Seeing that Zhang Juzheng's attitude was to completely overthrow the rewards that the young emperor had already awarded, Zhang Siwei couldn't help but asked with feigned worry.

"Your Majesty, I will tell you, but all the rewards awarded for the victory at Changdingbao must be withdrawn, and Tao Chengyu must be severely punished. Otherwise, what will happen if everyone in the frontier generals imitates him in the future?"

Before Zhang Siwei could finish speaking, Zhang Juzheng interrupted him and settled the matter.

…

"Investigation revealed that Tao Chengyu, the former deputy commander-in-chief of Liaodong, in order to seek promotion, killed and surrendered to claim credit, sabotaged the court's border policies, and deceived the emperor. He was immediately arrested by the Jin Yiwei and sent to Beijing, handed over to the Ministry of Punishment, and the Ministry of War and Jin Yiwei conducted strict interrogations and notified the Nine Borders;

In addition, all the rewards for the personnel involved in the Changding Fort victory will be deprived and recovered..."

Just three days after returning to Beijing, Zhang Juzheng, the chief minister who "obeys filial piety on duty", vigorously and resolutely overturned all the grace edicts issued by the little emperor before, which can be said to have completely ruined the little emperor's face.

After this incident, whether Zhang Juzheng wanted it or not, his authority as the chief minister was even stronger than before, and secretly some people even compared him with Huo Guang, the powerful minister of the Han Dynasty.

…

"Sir, I have suffered on my behalf. I am really wronged!"

In the Qianqing Palace, looking at the gray-haired Zhang Juzheng, the little fat man bowed to Zhang Juzheng with a guilty look on his face.

"Your Majesty, you don't have to be like this. I have inherited the late emperor's care and care, and I should die in repayment. What happened this time is just because your majesty is in charge of politics for the first time and lacks a little experience. You can get more experience in the future, your majesty doesn't have to worry about it!" Zhang Juzheng turned sideways to avoid the little fat man's salute. Zhang Juzheng quickly bowed and returned the salute.

Although he was the emperor's master, as the little fat man grew up, and the previous conversation with Wang Bing about the establishment of the Yulin Guard, Zhang Juzheng did not always regard the little fat man as a little man like he did in the original history. The child is watching.

"I'd better trouble you, sir, to do the administrative work for you! If you hadn't done it for me, this time I would..."

"Your Majesty, please forgive me for speaking bluntly. Although your Majesty is not as skilled in political affairs as me at the moment, I have passed my destiny. How many years can I still be able to help you in the future? So while my mind is still clear, I can still serve your majesty. Check for leaks and fill them up, this is a good opportunity for Your Majesty to learn how to govern."

Seeing the little fat man's wry smile, Zhang Juzheng couldn't help but straighten his face and spoke sincerely.

"Sir, I..."

"Your Majesty, everyone says that the old ministers are greedy for power. However, the old ministers just want to use this to implement the New Deal. However, the old ministers are in their sixties and their energy is not as good as before. Therefore, your majesty is allowed to manage the affairs of the court. There are also old ministers who want your majesty to take charge of the affairs on his behalf. The veteran will continue to implement the New Deal out of selfish motives, and I hope your Majesty will fulfill it!"

After saying that, Zhang Juzheng lifted his clothes and solemnly knelt in front of the little fat man.

"I promise you, sir, please get up quickly! Your loyalty to the country is known to heaven and earth, and your ancestors know it. Our Lady and I also know it. Please don't take it to heart about the slanderous words of the gang of villains." We have the laws of our ancestors to cure them!" The little fat man reached out to help Zhang Juzheng up and said to comfort him.

Different from the original history where the little fat man didn't really start to manage the government until Zhang Juzheng's death, under the influence of Wang Bing, the little butterfly, in this time and space, Zhang Juzheng really started to train the little fat man as his successor of the New Deal.

"It's just sir, if this happens, I'm afraid I don't have that much time on the Yulin Guard side..."

"Haha, your majesty, don't worry, isn't there uncle Guo who will help your majesty keep an eye on the Yulin Guards?"

"But the identity of the third child, if he is in the DPRK..."

"Your Majesty, there is no explicit provision in the imperial regulations that foreign relatives cannot lead troops. Moreover, this matter is not without precedent. Not to mention the Duke of Shaanxi from the Taizu Dynasty and the British Duke from the Chengzu Dynasty, they are also Huichang from the Yingzong Dynasty in the past. Aren’t they all relatives?”
