After all, he was the commander-in-chief of thousands of troops. Faced with the pie falling from the sky, Xu Da maintained a rare calmness.
Judging from the current political situation, the Zhongshu Province is the core of the Ming Dynasty and is mainly responsible for government affairs, while the Menxia Province is the core of people management and is responsible for the resume, evaluation, and promotion of almost all officials.
There is almost no distinction between the superior and the inferior in the two provinces regarding the power of the government.
Under these two provinces is Yushitai.
The Yushitai supervises hundreds of officials and is responsible for the government and the public. The scope of its management and the power in its hands are astonishing. Yang Xian is inferior to Li Shanchang in every aspect because of his low qualifications, but even so, he can still be greedy.
So much money proves the power of the imperial censor.
Xu Da asked himself, if he takes over the Yushitai, he can definitely compete with the two provinces. This is not Xu Da's exaggeration. Isn't Zhu Yuanzhang's intention obvious with this arrangement?
It's just that he still holds the title of Grand Governor of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion, commanding hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, and then he is in charge of the Yushitai. That would be too much, and the entire court would be destroyed.
Xu Da was silent, and Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly said: "What? You don't want to?"
Xu Da then raised his head, stared at Zhu Yuanzhang and said: "I can only take care of one side of the Censor's Platform and the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies!"
"no!"
Lao Zhu directly refused: "You are the most capable fighter among us, we cannot let you relinquish military power! Don't even think about it!"
Xu Da was stunned by Zhu Yuanzhang's straightforwardness. If he did not give up military power, he would not be able to take over the Yushitai in any case. Xu Da became more and more determined. From his own heart, he was still willing to lead the army and did not want to get involved in the chaos of the court.
But as a military general, being able to serve as a censor is a breakthrough for both military people and the Ming Dynasty.
Xu Da weighed it again and again, and then said sincerely: "I am certainly capable of fighting, but in our army, there is no shortage of generals who can fight. Whether it is Chang Yuchun, Feng Guosheng, Zhu Wenzheng, Li Wenzhong, Lan Yu,
Their skills are enough to sweep the surroundings. On the contrary, the minister has no other use except for making plans according to the weather. If the superior is willing, the minister will relinquish his military power and concentrate on being a censor. Otherwise, the minister will
I don’t want to bring trouble to my family and bring disaster to future generations.”
What he said was sincere and sensible.
Lao Zhu couldn't help but fell into deep thought. He didn't want Xu Da to give up military power, and hoped that Xu Da could better suppress the civil servants. But think about it carefully, with Xu Da's title and achievements, except for the left prime minister Li Shanchang and the right prime minister Mr. Zhang
, who can suppress him!
In fact, it is the same whether you have military power or not.
Zhu Yuanzhang pondered again and again, and then said: "Even if we agree to you and relinquish military power, who can replace you? Who can do it in the Governor's Mansion of the Fifth Army?"
Xu Da thought for a while and then said: "Your Majesty, Chang Yuchun and I had discussed it, hoping to add the post of Commander-in-Chief of the Navy and change the original Commander-in-Chief's Office of the Five Armies... Before this memorandum was published, I had already discussed it with you.
Here we are. In fact, my minister said that Chang Yuchun is very suitable for commanding the navy."
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.
Chang Yuchun is indeed a good candidate.
He has two advantages. One is that he is brave and invincible, and he can dominate the world and is unstoppable. Second, Chang Yuchun is loyal and obedient.
The reason why the navy is rotten is that the court has difficulty in supervising it and the navy generals are doing whatever they want.
If Chang Yuchun is allowed to command the navy, things will indeed change a lot.
But as a result, the infantry and cavalry lost control again.
"Xu Da, do you think besides the two of you, who else can be in charge of the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion?"
Xu Da hardly hesitated and said immediately: "It has to be Tang He!"
Zhu Yuanzhang pondered for a moment, and a smile appeared on his face.
really!
I thought of it together!
Tang He's fighting ability is indeed a little worse, but he is definitely qualified and is even Lao Zhu's leader. He can easily suppress the other generals without causing any trouble.
In addition, Tang He's ability to manage the army was also first-class.
Let him control the infantry and cavalry, and Zhu Yuanzhang can rest assured.
Therefore, after a brief discussion, the two people made up their minds.
Xu Da resigned from the post of Grand Governor of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion and was transferred to the post of Yushi Dafu.
The position he vacated was given to Tang He.
As for the navy, it is extremely important and cannot be abandoned casually.
Therefore, it was led by Chang Yuchun.
Of course, military affairs are not the most important thing now and can be adjusted slowly. The top priority is still the affairs of Yushitai.
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid I'm going to offend someone."
Zhu Yuanzhang laughed loudly, "It's good to offend people! If you sit in this position, you will offend people! Don't worry, as long as it makes sense, we will fully support it. Anyone who dares to disobey will get out of the court! We, the Ming Dynasty, want to be an official
There are so many people in the car!”
After the monarch and his ministers talked about this, they finally opened up and talked thoroughly. They changed cups and changed cups, drinking broad beans and edamame, and drank the taste of delicacies from mountains and seas.
Seeing that it was time to hold the lamp, Zhu Yuanzhang left.
He was so drunk that he was in a daze. Before he could leave the house, he saw a little girl, riding a bay-red horse, rushing in.
When Zhu Yuanzhang saw it, his eyes lit up. Why did it look familiar?
That’s right!
Why does he look a bit like the fourth child?
The energy, look, and attire... are all quite similar.
Zhu Yuanzhang subconsciously turned his head and looked at Xu Da. Only to find that Xu Da's face was very dark.
This girl is so annoying.
"Get down here!"
Xu Miaoyun rolled her eyelids, jumped off the horse reluctantly, and said angrily: "Everyone has come back from shooting, and you just finished drinking. Don't you know that drinking is harmful to your health?"
Good guy, you dare to teach her father a lesson!
Xu Da glared, "Go away, don't embarrass me!"
Xu Miaoyun made a face at him and then jumped away.
Zhu Yuanzhang saw this and suddenly laughed, "Xu Da, you are such a good girl. How about we get married? You see, we have many sons over there. Besides the eldest, the fourth is actually Zhu Di.
It’s not bad, he’s quite promising, he’s opened up new territories and made a lot of achievements at a young age!”
Hearing Lao Zhu's words, Xu Da's face turned even darker.
Let’s not joke, okay?
How did your son achieve meritorious services, may I know?
Isn’t that just a bargain?
Why do you have the nerve to say it?
How can I, the daughter of the Xu family, marry your Zhu family?
My ideal son-in-law should be someone who is polite and talented. No matter what, he cannot be a living bandit like Zhu Di!
Now it’s funny. Not only Zhang Ximeng despises the daughter of the old Zhu family, Xu Da also despises Zhu Yuanzhang’s son. In the field of blind date, the Zhu family has successfully been at the bottom of the contempt chain.
How about you being the emperor?
Still looked down upon by others!
"Um... your superiors, your children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. Don't act like horses and cows for your children and grandchildren. The children are still young. After a few years, they should listen to themselves!"
Zhu Yuanzhang regarded it as a joke and did not take it seriously. He came out of Xu Da's mansion and returned to the palace.
He smelled of alcohol, so Queen Ma prepared hot water for him and wanted him to wash up and rest quickly.
But suddenly, Zhu Yuanzhang slammed the table!
"What a shame, Xu Da! You've gone too far!"
Queen Ma was stunned and said, "Chongba, did you and Xu Da have a quarrel?"
Zhu Yuanzhang was startled for a moment and immediately said: "He said the same thing as Zhang Ximeng! Exactly the same!"
Queen Ma was stunned for a while and asked questions one after another, and then she understood that love was a matter of marriage proposal.
"You are not willing to ask for trouble! Let me tell you, what does it mean to be afraid of future generations? There are too many powerful children now. I also chatted with Jiang Nan a few days ago, and she said that Mr. Zhang accepted a female apprentice. Just now
I went to Beijing. That girl is less than ten years old, but she is extremely smart. None of the old people in Qintian Prison can compare with her. I even tried it myself. The questions that our children cannot solve are not solved by others.
It’s as easy as drinking cold water!”
Empress Ma sighed: "It's true that people are more vulnerable to death than others. If those in our family were not born in the palace and grew up in the emperor's family, they would really be useless!"
The more Lao Zhu listened, the more frustrated he became. He couldn't help but said angrily: "It's all your fault! If the child is not smart, it's just a matter of motherhood!"
Zhu Yuanzhang blurted out, and then he saw a slap raised high... Dare you blame me? Who gave you such a big face!
…
It was rare for Lao Zhu to stay away from court for a day, and a decree came from the palace to appoint Xu Da as the imperial envoy.
Li Shanchang had already received the news and was not too surprised, but everyone else was dumbfounded and confused!
Don't play like this!
Xu Da is just a warrior and a mere commander of troops and horses. How can he manage Yushitai?
No, absolutely not!
Come out quickly and stop it!
It's just that in the court, Li Shanchang was in a mess. Yang Xian had just taken a one-way ticket to the Palace of Hell. Although Hu Weiyong was fine, he had missed so much tax and was in a bad situation. He was afraid of being noticed. Where could he go?
Do you still dare to come forward?
In this way, amidst the panic, anger, madness and helplessness, Xu Da successfully became the imperial censor.
On the first day he took office, Xu Da ordered all the surviving censors to stand outside.
Just standing there against the bright sun.
This moment has made many people go crazy. They are all powerless scholars and are used to being pampered. How can they stand this?
Does this person named Xu want to train the censor as a soldier?
They really guessed it right.
"As a censor, I know the law and break the law, and I will test the law! The Yang Xian case is so huge that it has never been heard of in ancient times. This is a shame for all censors in the world! We must use the fastest speed and the most decisive efforts to restore the censor's rights.
A reputation worthy of the official uniform! Worthy of the embroidered haechi!"
Xu Da shouted angrily: "I declare that from now on, all officials of the imperial court are not allowed to hold grand weddings, build family temples, worship ancestors with great fanfare, and are not allowed to welcome and send them casually, let alone get together to eat and drink.
.Except for official duties, you must reduce your interactions in private, behave accordingly, and serve as an official cleanly!"
The censors present were all dumbfounded. Are you going crazy?
But Xu Da thought to himself and said: "Listen to me, officials who have such behavior will be impeached! No mercy! If the censor makes a mistake, he will be punished twice! If there is no change within ten days, I will take the lead in resigning! Not only
Resigning and begging Your Majesty to abolish the Yushitai directly! The imperial court does not need freeloading trash!"
The air conditioner was turned on yesterday and I had a severe headache. I wanted to take a rest and go to sleep... You guys should pay attention to your health, and the little ones should get some medicine...
