Chapter 121 Liu Bei served as general, Li Shimin entered the cabinet

In the history chat group.

After thinking about it for a while, Chongzhen (Zhu Youjian) finally said in the history chat group: "I am very lucky that I was reborn in the past and became my past self."

If he didn't say that Liu Bei, Wu Zetian, Li Shimin and others could guess.

Tell me, maybe the three of them could help Zhu Youjian in the late Ming Dynasty.

Liu Bei said: "That is, now you are the Emperor Zhu Youjian of the Ming Dynasty! In this way, I will stand on the side of the Ming Dynasty and accompany you to keep the Ming Dynasty. Now I am a Qianhu under the command of Hong Chengchou, the governor of Yansui. I have been with him in Shaanxi for several months.

However, I think this is not a solution! Shaanxi has been famine for several consecutive years. The people have no food to eat, and the government is powerless. They can only rob them in order to survive.

If the famine cannot pass, and the government does not rescue disasters, the rebel army will continue to continue, which will be difficult to wipe out."

This is indeed the problem.

Zhu Youjian sighed: "I will make some remedies as soon as possible. Indeed, if there is food, the rebel army may dissipate by itself.

The people had no food, and the court could not take out the money and food, so they had to send troops to encircle and suppress the rebel army. This was a vicious cycle!”

If the court spends money on the encirclement and suppression of the rebels, if the people do not save the people, and the people will continue to starve, people will continue to join the rebels. If this cycle continues, it will continue to make things worse and worse.

Li Shimin said: "This is indeed a problem. The key is whether the Ming Dynasty has money and food to drink with the victims? It may not be easy to rescue the victims.

Brother Chongzhen, I can help you, give you a suitable official position.”

If you can get power from Zhu Youjian, why bother to go to the imperial examination? Li Shimin did not seek far and wide. It depends on how Zhu Youjian treated him.

Liu Bei said: "I can give me a general here, so that I can help you implement the policies of a local area and never give up on those corrupt officials. To be honest, the officials in the Ming Dynasty are too irresponsible and do not care about the lives of the people at all. They live a free and carefree life and have no worries about food and clothing.

It’s hard to say that there are too many corrupt officials in a province. I can help you deal with it. But someone needs to take over them, otherwise there will be a problem with no one doing things in an empty position.

Maybe give some more power and promote some available talents on the spot. I am afraid that there are few officials who are willing to do things, right?"

Liu Bei and Li Shimin are willing to help, and it is reasonable to need some power.

Wu Zetian said, "I can help you too, you can do it. Also, I think Qin Liangyu can be used more. This woman is very loyal. In extraordinary times, don't stick to the pedantic concept that women cannot be an official!"

Lu Zhi said: "After listening to Qin Liangyu's story, I agree with what Wu Zetian said, she should be used with her. She is very good at fighting. Using her is better than using those who will surrender easily!"

Yang Guang was also: "Zhang Hao, Wu Zetian, Liu Bei, Li Shimin, Qin Liangyu, the five of them can use it with confidence. As for money, it is said that the late state relatives, royal families, and nobles are very rich. They cannot do things, so they should pay, or find some of their crimes and search their houses directly!

This should create urgent needs!

To deal with natural disasters, we need to flexibly mobilize grain from all over the country. Make good reserves and promote frugality. Oh, I forgot that many officials in the late Ming Dynasty did not do anything, and it would be in vain that they would not implement any good policies!

The most urgent task is to arrange reliable people in key positions to implement policies.

Things are simpler and harder to do, it depends on whether your courage and means are enough!”

Yang Guang also saw it thoroughly.

But for Zhu Youjian, except Zhang Hao, he didn't believe it very much. If they were given too much power, but if they turned against each other, the Ming Dynasty might die faster.

Liu Bei, Wu Zetian, and Li Shimin should be used, but they cannot give too much power. After considering it, Zhu Youjian made a decision.

...

More than two months later.

Shaanxi, the governor of Yansui, Hong Chengchou, the mansion.

When Hong Chengchou learned the news, he led the generals of He Renlong and Cao Wenzhao to welcome the special envoy of Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youjian.

They were very surprised because the person who came was Fang Zhenghua, the eunuch whom the emperor trusted very much!

This shows that the emperor attaches great importance to them and the situation in Shaanxi.

Founder Zhenghua announced the edict and appointed Hong Chengchou as the general of the three borders, which was to command the troops from Gansu, Shaanxi and Shanxi, responsible for guarding the border and encircling and suppressing the rebellion.

Most of the generals under Hong Chengchou were rewarded.

What surprised them the most was that Liu Bei was promoted to Shaanxi General and how many levels had he been promoted in succession!

It not only makes people think: Who made the emperor know Liu Bei, who recommended the guarantee? Could it be Hong Chengchou?

Hong Chengchou was also confused. Although he mentioned Liu Bei when he showed his military achievements, he said that this person had the talent of a general, so he would like to praise him by the way.

"Your Majesty, trust me so much?" Hong Chengchou not only repaired his brain, but because the emperor trusted him, he took his words seriously, so he promoted Liu Bei (Liu Xuan, Liu Xuan's name here).

The insider Liu Bei was deliberately shocked at this moment, unbelievable, with first-class acting skills, and thanked Hong Chengchou for his recommendation and promotion.

Not only did others believe him, but Hong Chengchou also recognized his imagination: "Well! Liu Xuan, you have the talent of a general. This is my duty to recommend you to the court. Your Majesty is wise, so you will use you more. Keep working hard and don't let Your Majesty down!"

When Hong Chengchou said these words, he was a little embarrassed. Well, his acting skills are not as good as Liu Bei.

Although Liu Bei became the general of Shaanxi, he was still under Hong Chengchou. However, his young general made many colleagues envious and jealous.

The eunuch Fang Zhenghua did not leave, but asked Hong Chengchou to send someone to take him to inspect Shaanxi to understand the disaster, saying that the emperor attached great importance to it.

Hong Chengchou asked Liu Bei to go. He is now the general of Shaanxi and is well-led in wars, which can protect Fang Zhenghua's safety.

When he was with Liu Bei, Fang Zhenghua gave Liu Bei a secret decree, giving him the right to act first and then report in Shaanxi.

"Zhu Youjian is quite interesting!" Liu Bei was quite satisfied with Zhu Youjian's arrangement. The next time was when he showed off his strength in Shaanxi.

At the same time, Zhang Hao, Wu Zetian and Li Shimin were all appointed by Zhu Youjian.

When Li Shimin arrived in the capital, Zhu Youjian specifically agreed to him, and then appointed Li Shimin as the Minister of Revenue and entered the cabinet to participate in the decision-making.

Some ministers questioned and opposed it, but Zhu Youjian ignored it.

"What is Li Weimin's origin? Why did His Majesty directly reuse him as soon as he came?"

"I'll see what he has. If he is an incompetent person, we must not let him stand in the court!"

"Your Majesty first rebuilt the East Factory and the Jinyiwei, and now he uses someone of unknown origin to do what he wants to do. Are you dissatisfied with me?"

Several ministers in the cabinet were puzzled and still had many concerns.
