"But there must be someone in the court to make trouble." Zhu Cilang sneered.

Li Banghua nodded slightly: "Your Highness is saying."

Zhu Cilang glanced at Li Banghua with dissatisfaction and said, "Xiantai is one of the few capable officials in the court. He knows military and is good at governing the country. Why do he also learn from those pedantic and stupid ministers of the cabinet!"

Although it was criticism, Li Banghua couldn't help feeling warm after hearing this.

Now he is a second-rank official, in charge of the Censorate, serving as the General Constitution, and rectifying all officials in the world. He is not uncommon. Moreover, compared with his colleagues, his achievements are also ironclad. Whether it is the second year of Chongzhen to fight against the enemy, or the comfort of Jiujiang a few days ago, they are all great achievements that can be recorded in history.

However, the only thing that makes Li Banghua feel resentful is that he will not be an official.

In the first year of Chongzhen, he supervised the Jingying camp and handed over all the fraudulent rules of the Jingying to His Majesty the Emperor. At the same time, with the support of His Majesty the Emperor, he promoted good governance and trained the already rotten Jingying into a clear-cut and accessible guard of honor.

Of course, Li Banghua could not spend money to rectify the army out of thin air, and could only seize food from those Gongbos. Faced with his forbidden body being moved again and again, the ministers naturally regarded Li Banghua as their mortal enemy. It happened that during the Battle of Deshengmen, the shells on the top of the city hit him, and he needed a scapegoat to appease the general, so Li Banghua could only retreat in disgrace.

If Chongzhen really had Taizu, Chengzu's courage would not be impossible to protect Li Banghua. However, he was a deep palace emperor who had just ascended to the top two years ago and had "almost known wars". He was worried that Jianzhang was at the city, and Yuan Chonghuan was running but refused to save him. In the end, this capable minister returned with grievances and began a ten-year life of dismissal.

Li Banghua, who returned to the official position ten years later, obviously had deeply reviewed his previous Meng Lang.

Zhu Cixuan had been paying attention to the situation of the Beijing camp for a long time. The three major camps of the capital were the killer weapons left to check and balance the local areas. According to the Chengjun strategy, they were the "backbone" of the national military power and must surpass the "branches and leaves" of local armed forces. In this regard, from the Sixth Division of Haojing of the Zhou Dynasty, the Eighth Division of Chengzhou, the Eighth Division of Yin, to the Palace soldiers of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and the Imperial Army of the Song Dynasty, they were the same lineage. The emperor also believed that only by holding heavy troops and being in a heavy and controlling light can one rest assured.

However, the current situation is a reversed "strong branch and weak branch". The most capable army in the world is the Liao soldiers on the Liaodong front, followed by Zuo Liangyu's troops who were responsible for suppressing bandits. Except for the army led by Huang Degong, the rest of the Jing camp is still worthy of being a guard of honor.

However, Liao Town has formed a real local warlord. There is no inch of official land outside Shanhaiguan, and it is all the private land of Liao Town military generals. As for the Liao soldiers, they never know that there is an emperor, and they will only serve their own heads and generals. Sun Chengzong proposed seemingly reasonable and well-founded suggestions such as "using Liao people to defend Liao territory" and "respecting generals to control troops" that were actually a compromise with Liaodong generals.

According to the official correspondence letters Zhu Cixuan later contacted, Yuan Chonghuan killed Wenlong alone, and there was still this dark shadow behind him. Although it was a bit too conspiracy, the biggest beneficiary of the Dongjiang Rebellion, besides Jianlu Huang Taiji, was the only one in Liao Town. Since then, it has been difficult for Denglai and Dongjiang to compete with Liao Town for 9 million taels of Liao salary every year.

As for Zuo Liangyu, who suppressed the bandits, although he was not as powerful as Liao Town, he defeated hundreds of thousands of soldiers in March this year, saying that he was short of money and wanted to send money to Nanjing, so he brought troops eastward to block the river. The scholars and civil and military officials moved several times overnight, and the civil and military officials were stunned. They only had to change the flag and change the flag, and the manifesto turned out to be clear.

At that time, Li Banghua was transferred from the Nanjing Censorate to the Beijing Censorate. When he arrived in Jiujiang, he stopped the ship and issued an edict to Zuo Liangyu, and issued a 150,000 taels of silver in Jiujiang. He entered the camp alone and sincerely comforted him. Zuo Liangyu then stopped his troops and returned to the land of faith, swearing to kill the thieves to serve the country. With these two things alone, Li Banghua's ability and courage made Zhu Cixuan remember it in his heart.

"I was in the palace and heard the rumors that Xiantai said that day: 'The Central Plains is quiet, with a corner of the southeast. As a minister, I have to sit and see the breaking, and stand aside and leave!' But is that?" Zhu Cixuan said slowly.

When Li Banghua heard this, his heart felt warm again, and he was insane. As a Confucian minister, how can he resist the temptation of establishing virtue, making merits, and making words. However, the great scholars who have been able to establish virtue for thousands of years finally counted it with one hand, and he did not expect it. As for making merit, although he considered himself not a mediocre person, he might not be able to keep his name in history. Now that the crown prince has recited his original words in public, it is also an immortal saying worthy of gratitude.

"I did say it." Li Banghua suppressed his inner excitement and responded in a mature manner.

"Only loyal and righteous people like Xiantai can say such words." Zhu Cilang glanced left and right, and saw Zhou Jing, Tian Cunshan and others' hearts pounding. The prince didn't say much, but said again: "I left the palace today to supervise the disaster relief and epidemic prevention in the capital according to the order. Your Majesty heard that the people had died and burned hundreds of people every day, which was really sad. As a son of man, I cannot help but share the worries of the king and father. It's a pity that people are now in trouble and have not even cleaned up the secret residence. But I can't wait any longer."

Tian Cunshan shrank slightly and resisted the blame again.

Li Banghua immediately understood that the prince had a distinction between a monarch and a subject, and his status was natural and he did not need to be bought and won over. The reason why he said so many heartwarming words was that he was waiting here.

——The crown prince is afraid that he will be impeached for leaving the palace in an emergency!

"Your Highness the Crown Prince is pure filial. Even if there are two or three pedantic courtesy and nonsense, it is hard to defeat the hearts of heaven and man." Li Banghua said calmly. He is the chief of the Censors. As long as they are suppressed, those censors should give some face. The censors in the state curse people, and each does not have good deeds. If they are not suppressed, they may not be able to give face to the fifteen-year-old prince.

"I'm not afraid of the dog barking Yao," Zhu Cixuan knew that he would be wrong and smiled. "It's just that the matter of relief and prevention cannot be delayed. It's a matter of General Consortium to do so."

The security rectification of the capital was carried out by the Wucheng Military Officer, Jinyiwei, and the Censor of the City. Among them, Jinyiwei was the Shangzhi Guard, and the Emperor's Army, and Zhu Cilang was unable to command it. The Wucheng Military Officer was a sixth-rank rank, so he dared not not to buy the face of the prince, but there were too many mothers-in-laws. He had to listen to the Ministry of War in public security and theft prevention; when arresting prisoners, he had to listen to the Ministry of Justice and the Censorate; even when evaluating the prices of the capital and clearing the sewers, he had to listen to the Jinyiwei.

Zhu Ciyang had long considered his entry point, which was the Censorate. It was a certain strategy to borrow Li Banghua, a capable and willing old minister. This encounter was just a icing on the cake, which made the two unconnected people more close. Even if they had not met Li Banghua, Zhu Ciyang had already been prepared to summon the Constitutional Minister.

Li Banghua suddenly felt a little ashamed. Once upon a time, his vitality was exhausted in his idleness, and now he has become a bureaucrat who only knows how to be an official. Seeing that the prince takes things seriously, but is not impatient and does things steadily, Li Banghua couldn't help but feel more confident.
