The secret memorial system is no longer a secret. Some people can guess this power and trust, while others are hidden very deeply.

In this regard, some civil officials also advised him, believing that it was not in line with the court's system, so how could he not go to the General Secretary?

But the emperor also simply refused to accept advice, saying that secret memorials were just personal letters to his ministers and did not belong to the system of memorials, so there was no need to go through the government and the minister to understand the situation.

This reason is very powerful. Who has the courage to restrict the emperor's personal communication?

As for many ministers, they also want to write letters to the emperor, but there is no mailbox in the palace. You should wait for the emperor to trust before enjoying this kindness!

The secret report invisibly caused enough shock. The factory guards were already tight enough. In addition, the officials lurking around them might be the emperor's eyes and ears. Who should not be careful and who dares to deceive superiors and subordinates?

Obviously, it doesn't matter how much the secret memorial system can play. What's important is that the emperor has achieved his goal, and no one is afraid of death and dares to deceive him.

The factory guards and the Censorate, and then the press conferences have become three lines of defense, supervising officials to the greatest extent. Those who follow the public and law-abiding will not be afraid of them, and those who are corrupt and incompetent will find it difficult to gain a foothold in the officialdom.

This is not the emperor's final idea, and he cannot fully feel at ease. Reporting should be the ultimate move, and he has not used it yet.

So many precautions are too much, isn’t the suspicion too big?

The emperor did not think so. According to the current channels and speed of information dissemination, no matter how strict the information is, it cannot prevent some people who are obsessed with profit.

However, the implementation of policies requires timing. He is planning, waiting, and preparing, and there is no plan to promulgate in the short term.

As Yuan Keli said, the supervision of not only civil officials but also military generals is also being carried out simultaneously.

The sky is big, the earth is big, and the dragon throne is the largest; the country is strong and the people are rich, and they also need to rely on the army to support and fight for it, and the gun must be firmly held in your hands.

Therefore, the emperor was very cautious about the military commanders in Liaodong. Summoning Mao Wenlong to Beijing to report his duties was the final investigation.

Of course, the emperor's pension and reward for the great contributions to the Liao Dynasty were not vague. Both officers and soldiers were present, and they had arrived in each army and were issued.

"I thank God for your kindness, long live my emperor!"

Mao Wenlong respectfully received the imperial edict after a great service. The left governor, general, and then the title of Grand Tutor and Prince Taibao is already the highest honor besides the title of title.

The emperor also rewarded and given clothes and swords, which paved the way for titles.

As for the merits of pacifying Liao, Xiong Tingbi should be the greatest, followed by Mao Wenlong. Now, Xiong Tingbi's reward has not been awarded, but has been given to Mao Wenlong alone. The emperor's profound meaning has to be understood.

Therefore, Mao Wenlong was happy and worried, and he knew that this entry into Beijing was of great importance to his work report. If the emperor was not satisfied, he would not be the commander who guarded Liaodong.

To satisfy the emperor, one must understand the emperor's thoughts, which is the so-called "high intention".

Mao Wenlong is not a reckless martial artist. From the opening of Dongjiang Town to the successful Ping Liao, he can figure out some tricks from all aspects.

The emperor did not set up civil servants to supervise the army, nor did he use eunuchs, but he used the Jinyiwei, and controlled the army's food, salary and military laws. He did not interfere with the command of the chief general.

From this perspective, the emperor was extremely smart, thoughtful and courageous. After all, this was a good way to ensure that the lord general did not embezzle military pay, and to eliminate the disadvantages of civil servants and eunuchs' blind command.

The establishment of the secret memorial system is another creative means to control the ministers. Mao Wenlong also has this right, but he still has to be cautious and dare not step beyond the line.

Improve the status of warriors, ensure sufficient food and salary, and provide weapons and equipment. The emperor can do this without hesitation to punish corrupt officials, powerful people, bad gentry and raise funds. It can be seen that he is a saint who cannot be fooled, so smart and wise that it is a terrifying and admirable person.

For officials who are open-minded and law-abiding, a wise life is the gospel, not the root of disaster. If you do your own work well, don’t need to think too much about anything else, wouldn’t you be relaxed and comfortable?

Mao Wenlong had seen this a long time ago, and he was cautious and cautious. Although he was a little nervous about his report on his work in Beijing, he was not worried.

"Congratulations to the Grand Marshal and congratulate him." After receiving the order, the generals all came forward to congratulate him, their voices loud and their expressions were excited.

The court will also reward them based on merits. The emperor will clearly determine the rewards and punishments and never owes them. Everyone has seen them in the past few years.

Mao Wenlong laughed and bowed, saying, "The emperor's kindness is great and the wise emperor is. This is the blessing of our martial artists, and it is also the time when we can serve our loyalty."

The generals repeatedly claimed that Mao Wenlong ordered people to hold a banquet to entertain the imperial envoy and the generals to celebrate. The generals were straightforward and generous, and were rewarded with great victory. They were all happy and raised their glasses to drink until late at night.

Mao Wenlong did not drink much, but when he returned to his residence, he picked up his pen and put on paper and wrote a memorial to thank him.

Just as the beginning was written, Deputy General Chen Jisheng came, Mao Wenlong hurriedly invited him in and ordered his servants to serve tea.

"But I'm worried about a certain person coming to Beijing to meet the saint?" The servant left, and Mao Wenlong made it straight to the point and went straight to the topic.

Chen Jisheng smiled and said, "The Marshal must have a vain case, so there is no need for his subordinates to say more."

Mao Wenlong waved his hand and said, "At that time, you attacked Zhenjiang with someone. For several years, you have been loyal to the generals of a Ming Dynasty, but you are in love with your brothers. How can you say too much? Someone is not thinking well and is just about to hear other people's opinions. Let's talk quickly."

Chen Jisheng has always admired Mao Wenlong and is also an important counselor of Mao Wenlong. Seeing that Mao Wenlong spoke earnestly, he put aside his concerns and spoke directly about what he thoughts.

"It is certainly a happy event to pacify Liao, but it has been extremely difficult for the imperial court to provide it in the past few years. Long live, it must be the intention of reducing troops or mobilizing other places."

Mao Wenlong looked at Chen Jisheng's head and said, "I think so too. But if you want to continue pursuing and suppressing Jianlu and resist the Northern Lu, you must have 40,000 elite soldiers."

Chen Jisheng hesitated for a moment and said, "Forty thousand people, almost all the troops in Dongjiang Town are. Long live the promise."

Mao Wenlong heard Chen Jisheng's hesitation, pondered for a moment, and said, "Then let's reduce it? How about the number of 36,000?"

Chen Jisheng nodded immediately and said, "The Northern Barbarians will not attack the border for the time being, and Jianlu will suffer heavy losses. More than 10,000 people stationed in the Liaodong border wall, and 20,000 elite troops heading north to chase and suppress Jiannu, which should be enough."

"In addition—" Chen Jisheng paused and continued: "The Grand Marshal should show his intention to advance to the emperor, and do not say anything about being successful."

Mao Wenlong Heshou agreed, "Long live, the desire to expand the territory is obvious, and Nuergandus should be the first to be included in the territory of the Ming Dynasty. As long as there is enough food and fodder, next autumn, when the horses are tall and fat, it will be the time to go north in large quantities."
