Yang Yiqing, Zhu Houzhao, didn't know much about it. The only thing he knew was that during the Hongzhi Dynasty, he worked as a scholar in Shaanxi for many years. He was originally a civil servant who managed education in a province, but he had the heart of a general. He went to the border line to inspect and supervise border defense when he had time.

In the fifteenth year of Hongzhi, Yang Yiqing was promoted to governor of Shaanxi under the recommendation of Liu Daxia, and began to truly interfere in military affairs, investigate corruption in the imperial army, rectify local military discipline, strengthen city defense fortifications, and actively defend against the robbery of the Oirat and Mongolia.

In history, Yang Yiqing's military power became increasingly solid. Later, he directly became the three-sided general system that commanded the three important military towns of Yansui Town, Ningxia Town and Gansu Town. In fact, it was the three-sided governor. Later, he became the Minister of War and then entered the cabinet to become the chief minister of the cabinet. His status was so important that even the emperor could not move lightly.

The most important point is that after Yang Yiqing was promoted to the Minister of War, he still served as the governor of the Three Borders, and started the practice of being the Minister of the Frontiers at the same time. Since then, the towns of the Nine Borders have completely become banned by the civil servant group.

During the Jiajing period, Yang Yiqing was defeated in the struggle within the civil service group, and was old and weak, so he had to resign and return home. He was too prestige in the army and was afraid of Emperor Jiajing, so he allowed him to be framed by villains and died of illness.

In history, Yang Yiqing, the three-sided governor, actually only had daily command and management rights, and did not have the right to mobilize them.

If Yang Yiqing could mobilize the army at will, wouldn’t it be the same as the warlords!

The civil servant group controls Jiubian Jun Town, but this is done for the common interests of the group. If an overly strong force appears within the group, it will swallow up most of the resources, which is not in the interests of everyone.

Why does the civil servant group restrict the emperor? Isn’t it because the emperor, as the head of the group, dominates his family, so everyone tries every means to limit the imperial power so that everyone will not have no meat to eat.

This also led to the fact that the six ministries of the cabinet would definitely not allow another local warlord with heavy troops in the Ming Dynasty, which would endanger the civil service group's rule over the Ming Dynasty.

But now Zhu Houzhao proposed the temporary "General of Xuanfu" is different. This position not only has command power, but also has the right to transfer troops. After getting this position, he is the kind of general who can control external military orders and is the most powerful person in the Ming Dynasty.

A person who holds heavy troops like this is not only afraid of the emperor, but also the civil service group.

Fortunately, the Governor of Xuanfu was only a temporary position, specializing in encirclement and suppressing the Tatar Mongolian invading troops, and was abolished after the war. Moreover, the court would arrange additional personnel to be responsible for the logistics of food, grass, military pay and logistics, so even if the Governor of Xuanfu had heavy troops and no food and grass, he would not be able to rebel for a few days.

Li Dongyang proposed that Yang Yiqing be the governor of the Xuanfu was actually out of careful consideration. Although Yang Yiqing became the governor of Shaanxi after being recommended by Liu Daxia, this was only recommended by Liu Daxia because Yang Yiqing was capable and good at doing things.

It cannot be said that Yang Yiqing is from Liu Daxia.

Yang Yiqing was a lonely minister in the court who was not afraid of the powerful and powerful. His stubborn personality often offended people. If he had not been an honest official and had strong ability to do things, he would have been taken down long ago.

Xie Qian and Liu Jian were silent all of a sudden. Obviously, neither of them was willing to let Yang Yiqing take advantage of this. After all, they were not their own, but they really couldn't find a more suitable candidate to take on this position.

This is the command of a 150,000 army. If you make a fool of yourself, it will not only not make profits to the group, but it may instead drag everyone down.

"Since you have no other opinions, let Yang Yiqing be the governor of the Xuanfu! He is now the governor of Shaanxi, promoted from the second rank to the second rank, and was also appointed as the right censor of the Inspectorate." Zhu Houzhao waited for a while, and saw that neither Xie Qian nor Liu Jian had spoken, so he decided.

The Right Censor of the Inspectorate was a strengthening of the status of the governor of the Xuanfu, because the Right Censor, as a central official, could interfere in local military, political, livelihood, and taxes. This was to give Yang Yiqing a guarantee and facilitate him to mobilize resources around the Xuanfu during wartime.

After all, the Ming Dynasty officials were checked and balanced, and even the emperor was restricted everywhere to do things, not to mention a mere local governor. If the right censor had not had the right to the censor, the civil servants in the Xuanfu would not pay any attention to him at all.

Xie Qian, Liu Jian, and Li Dongyang all nodded and expressed their approval.

In this way, under the agreement between the three major ministers of the cabinet and the emperor, Yang Yiqing received the position of Governor of the Xuanfu!

As long as Yang Yiqing wins this battle and has the qualifications to make a foundation, it will only be a matter of time before he can join the cabinet as a prime minister in the future.

"By the way! I heard that Wang Shouren, the Wuxuan Department of the Ministry of War, once submitted a memorial to the court to discuss the issue of defense in the northwest border. He was very close to the issue of guarding against the Mongols and was very military-minded. This battle to encircle and suppress the Little Prince was the first battle since I ascended the throne and a crucial battle.

In order to prevent the military officers of Xuanfu from shirking responsibility, I propose that Wang Shouren be the general of Xuan Town as a civil servant to assist Yang Yiqing in handling logistics matters.”

"The General of Xuan Town is the second-rank position of Zheng. Yangming is only 33 years old this year. As the head of the Military Selection Department of the Ministry of War, the official position of the fifth-rank position is already a little young. It is difficult to convince the public after being promoted to the fifth level at once!" Xie Qian frowned and hesitated.

Wang Shouren is Wang Yangming, and his father Wang Hua was the top scholar in the 17th year of Chenghua in the Ming Dynasty!

One of the key points here is that Wang Hua and Xie Qian were once classmates studying together in Zhejiang Prefecture School. Both of them are top students and ranked first among the top students in Zhejiang Prefecture School, which has many talents.

Later, Xie Qian took the lead and became a Jinshi in Chenghua 11th year and became an official in the court. By the time Wang Hua took the scientific examination again in Chenghua 17th year, Xie Qian was already the chief examiner of the Jinshi in that year!

Although the Ming Dynasty's scientific examination was a famous paper, and the papers were copied separately and then read to the examiner. However, as a classmate and friend, Xie Qian could find out Wang Hua's writing style with his eyes closed, so there was no doubt that Wang Hua was admitted and was later named the top scholar by the emperor in the palace examination.

Unlike Xie Qian who fought for power and profit in the court and became the chief minister of the cabinet, Wang Hua has always been lukewarm in the court, and he was in charge of leisure work such as editing books. He is a person who likes to do academic research.

So when he was young, Wang Shouren was a very awesome second-generation official, his father was the top scorer, and his uncle Xie Qian was the chief assistant of the dynasty. His future was bright and it was not impossible to enter the cabinet in the future.

Unfortunately, Wang Shouren, like Zhengde, suffered from lung disease. Seven years after Zhengde's death, Wang Yangming, who had already been appointed as the Left Censor of the Inspectorate and Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, could not withstand the torture of the illness and submitted his resignation to Emperor Jiajing for retiring and returning home. Who knew that the court had not approved it yet, died of lung disease worsening.

A generation of masters of mind were just in their fifties, but the saint who was on par with Confucius and Mencius was the best age to do academic research. He passed away because of a small lung disease. This was a problem that could be solved with just one injection of penicillin in later generations. It was a pity.

Xie Qian didn't know why Zhu Houzhao suddenly promoted Wang Shouren. In the court, Wang Hua couldn't control his extremely smart son. Usually Xie Qian was taking care of this nephew in his later life.

The battle to encircle and suppress the Little Prince of Xuanfu is of great importance, and Xie Qian is not willing to let Wang Shouren be involved. After all, Xie Qian's group has made arrangements for Wang Yangming's future official career, which is enough for him to take over the position of the leader of the group after Xie Qian abdicates, and there is no need to go to Xuanfu to take risks.

Xie Qian even felt that Zhu Houzhao wanted to use the Xuanfu war to trick Wang Shouren into interrupting the future of the most talented young people in the Xie Qian group.

In fact, Xie Qian thought too much. As the future reformist emperor of the Ming Dynasty court, Zhu Houzhao needed many talents to serve him, and Wang Shouren was already regarded by Zhu Houzhao as a person in the bag.

Zhu Houzhao did not want to interrupt Wang Shouren's future, he wanted to take Wang Shouren away and turn this person, who was the first genius of Confucianism in five hundred years, into a royalist party.

Zhu Houzhao is just a good move to promote Wang Shouren over the level. After all, as a leading strategic master, Wang Shouren is better off going to the battlefield to absorb some combat experience and open his eyes.

"My intention has been decided! After the morning court, Wang Shouren immediately took office and went to Xuanfu as the general. Before Yang Yiqing arrived, he gathered the soldiers scattered in the fortresses along Xuanfu, blocked the Tatars' retreat. After the troops of the other four towns arrived, he completed the encirclement and wiped out the little prince's troops in one fell swoop."

Zhu Houzhao has never stinged with high officials and salaries to his future generals, and he issued an order directly without waiting for Xie Qian to object.

Although Xie Qian was reluctant, he was already in trouble and could not object. His nephew has been fond of military affairs since he was a child and has always wanted to go to border towns to command troops and fight. If he stopped Wang Shouren from becoming the general of the Xuanfu, he would not be blamed for his death when he turned around.

In this way, a war between the emperor and the cabinet, which was sent by the emperor to encircle and annihilate the little prince, officially kicked off.

Xie Qian, Li Dongyang, and Liu Jian returned to the ranks of the ministers, and this matter was over.

Because it involves the siege war, only the emperor and the cabinet know about this matter, and there is no need to discuss it publicly in the morning court. After all, no one can guarantee that the little prince has no bribes in the court. Don’t discuss the strategy of advancing in the morning court. When the little prince turns back, he receives information and runs back to the prairie before the encirclement is formed.

It was already ten o'clock in the morning. I went out from five o'clock in the morning and walked over from home until now. Many officials in the hall, in their fifties and sixties could no longer hold on.

Seeing this, Zhu Houzhao had to scratch her chin and shouted: "Stop the court for the time being, rest for half an hour. You can go to drink water and go to the toilet. After half an hour, you can continue to start the court meeting!"
Chapter completed!
