Liu Daxia looked at Li Dongyang.

Others may be afraid of Li Dongyang's power, but Liu Daxia does not need to endure and give in. One is the cabinet minister, who belongs to the decision-making center of the court, and the other is the Minister of War, who is in charge of the national military power. However, in terms of his contributions to the Hongzhi Dynasty, Liu Daxia would say that no one dared to accept the first place.

In the emperor's mind, Liu Daxia, the Minister of War, is not inferior to the cabinet ministers.

So the current focus of the contradictions has focused on Liu Daxia and Li Dongyang.

Liu Daxia said: "Sir Li, you think it is not possible. You always need a reason to say it out loud, right? The situation in the south seems calm, but local tribal rebellions are becoming increasingly fierce. If we cannot coordinate the troops of each province, and only local troops fight alone, who can guarantee that the imperial army will not be able to advance or retreat and be taken advantage of by the rebels?"

Li Dongyang responded tit-for-tat: "Have Secretary Liu considered whether the military power would be too concentrated by one person? If this person's mind is not right and suddenly has evil thoughts, it will have a greater impact on the court!"

When Li Dongyang told his reasons, Liu Daxia did not immediately argue. Not only did he need to give the emperor time to consider this issue, he himself had to repeatedly consider the possibility.

Even those present who did not want to support Li Dongyang before could frown at this time, they were all considering the issue of local governors' arbitrary power and self-respecting themselves.

Even if the civil servants lead the troops, they will still inevitably lead to the chaos of the country.

As the emperor, Zhu Youzhang obviously considered this issue in advance and took the initiative to dispel Li Dongyang's doubts and said: "Mr. Li was too concerned. The Ming Dynasty did not lead the troops, but used civil officials to command troops. Once a few military supervisors were set up in the army, they could effectively supervise the commander's use of troops. Moreover, civil officials and military generals were not one-on-one. Even if the civil officials who led the troops were determined to rebel, the military generals might not follow suit."

"Before, Shangshu Ma, Shangshu Liu and other beloved ministers all led their troops to the northwest and made great achievements, and made great contributions to the stability of the northwest of the Ming Dynasty. If we use this to question the generals, it is inappropriate!"

When this was said, everyone thought it was very reasonable.

There are vivid examples. Ma Wensheng and Liu Daxia led more than 100,000 troops and were the most elite border troops of the Ming Dynasty. They did not see them rebelling and even achieved fame. One defeated Hami and the other defeated Tatars. They still enjoyed a high reputation in the world and are now standing in front of a group of court officials.

The combat effectiveness of the soldiers and horses in the southern provinces is far from comparable to that of the border troops, and they are even inferior to those of the Beijing camp. They come from various provinces and have many factions. Even if some people want to rebel, they cannot coordinate so many troops. It is impossible for others to hold their heads and keep their wealth and not follow them.

Moreover, in addition to the actions of factory guards to closely monitor officials, the imperial court also dispatched military supervisors to supervise the military, so there was no possibility of chaos.

After Zhu Youtang finished speaking, he looked at the people present and asked, "What are your objections to you, everyone?"

Li Dongyang wanted to say something, but Ma Wensheng took the lead and replied: "Report to Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that it is so acceptable!"

Ma Wensheng's words immediately blocked Li Dongyang's mouth.

Among so many civil servants present, among the Duke and Marquis, Li Dongyang's status in the court is comparable to that of Ma Wensheng, the head of the six ministries. However, because Ma Wensheng's age is there, Li Dongyang now openly questioned Ma Wensheng and at the same time refuted the emperor's words, that is, he was usurpation. Even if he was the leader of the civil servant group, he would be criticized by thousands of people.

Li Dongyang was a little anxious. He was determined to wait for Liu Jian to arrive, but when he waited, Liu Jian was still missing.

He thought to himself: "Young Fu Liu, it's fine if you come later. You can delay such a big deal today for so long. If something happens, who can take it? "

Even Li Dongyang did not refute it. Even if the matter was passed, the emperor immediately continued to ask: "You guys, do you think who is the most appropriate person to lead troops in the south?"

When this question came out, a name was about to come out, so naturally Chenxi, who led troops in the southwest, won another brilliant victory.

But now everyone doesn't say it, just waiting for the emperor to announce that no one is willing to come out to oppose Li Dongyang, causing a slap from the civil servant group.

Li Dongyang gritted his teeth and stepped out: "Your Majesty, if you judge the most suitable candidate, it is naturally the only one that Liu Shangshu!"

Before Liu Daxia came forward, he said that he was old and weak and could not compete with him. Zhu Youzhang sighed: "I also know that Liu Shangshu is the best candidate for military leadership. However, the Ministry of War cannot be ruled by no one for a day, and the Tatars in the northwest are still ready to move. If Liu Shangshu is in charge, I will be uneasy."

"Besides, from the capital to Huguang, Guizhou, and Guangxi, the mountains and rivers are long. It is better to use local leaders to coordinate the troops of the six provinces!"

With further guidance, the emperor almost pointed out Chen Xi's name. But now everyone present seemed to be pretending to be confused. The emperor was waiting for them to say it, but they were waiting for others to speak.

Liu Daxia knew that he had to come forward to speak. After all, he had a verbal dispute with Li Dongyang first. He had to stand up and take the lead in this matter. Liu Daxia said: "What do you think, what about the governors of Huguang and Jiangxi provinces, and the right censor Chen Xi?"

This candidate is exactly what Zhu Youzhang likes.

The person Zhu Youzhang wanted to say but could not say was finally told by someone else, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart. Finally, there was a minister who understood my intentions and looked at Liu Daxia with great satisfaction.

But Zhu Youzhang didn't want to decide the candidates by his own mouth. He knew that when asked Xie Qian's opinion, Li Dongyang and other civil officials would definitely not be convinced, so he might as well ask others directly.

Zhu Youzing looked at Zhang Mao and said, "What do you think the British believe that Chen Xi and Chen Qing's family lead the troops?"

When Zhang Mao saw it, hehe, now I have become the target of public criticism. I said "not good". The emperor hates me, that's definitely not possible.

But if I say "Okay", then Li Dongyang, Liu Jian and others will definitely hold grudges.

Both sides always want to offend one side, so I still think it is most appropriate to let Chen Xi come out to lead the army. First, I think so myself, second, this is following the emperor's will, third, even if Liu Jian and Li Dongyang want to hate him, they will go to trouble Liu Daxia. I was just forced to say helplessly and say I agree, what do you have to do with me?

Thinking of this, Zhang Mao directly agreed: "I will discuss it!"

Even Zhang Mao became a fence-bearer, and the few governors present at the Five Army Governor's Office had no scruples. They all expressed "subject matters". Instead, Xie Qian and Ma Wensheng did not make any statements. As for whether Wang Hua and Yang Yiqing expressed their opinions, it seemed that the emperor did not care much about the opinions of the Zhang brothers.

With the support of Zhang Mao and Liu Daxia, the emperor's intention suddenly became extremely determined. He stood up from the dragon throne, nodded heavily, and said:

"After the commander is determined, we must choose the candidates for military supervisors! It is inevitable that people will be sent from the capital to a long distance, and the local military supervisors... I am not very relieved!"

Liu Daxia said: "When Shen Zhongcheng was leading the troops in the northwest, Eunuch Zhang Yong and Zhang were responsible for the military supervision. Now he is working in Jiangxi, and may be able to go to Huguang before and cooperate with Shen Zhongcheng!"

Zhu Youzhang thought for a while and nodded, "Sure!"

Liu Daxia said again: "Liu Jin, the guard of Dinghai Guard in Southern Zhili, once followed the army attendant to Quanzhou to help Shen Zhongcheng quell the dispute with Folang Jiren, and can also be entrusted to reuse!"

When Zhu Youzhang heard Liu Jin's name, he was stunned at first, and then he thought that Liu Jin had also mentioned it by his son. For the sake of military and national affairs, he could only temporarily sacrifice his son's interests. He nodded immediately: "Okay!"
