Not long after Chen Hong went out, he walked in from outside.
Following behind him was Qi Jin, who had obviously arrived before him.
After seeing Zhu Youxiao, Chen Hong stepped aside.
Qi Jin quickly bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."
Zhu Youxiao nodded and said, "No need to be polite."
He ordered Chen Hong, "Bring a chair."
After Chen Hong put the chair away, Zhu Youxiao said to Qi Jin, "Sit down and talk."
After Qi Jin sat down, Zhu Youxiao slowly asked, "Have you heard about the establishment of the Imperial Guard Command Office?"
Although the news of His Majesty's plan to establish the Royal Guards Headquarters was not widely discussed, it still attracted considerable attention, especially from the military. Everyone could see that His Majesty valued the Royal Guards Headquarters, so naturally, they were more concerned.
Another thing they are concerned about is how the Royal Guard Command Office will develop in the future?
After all, the Royal Guard has always existed in the Ming Dynasty, but the Royal Guard Command Office is really a brand new existence, and everyone wants to know what will happen in the future.
From the current perspective, His Majesty intends to separate the Imperial Guard from other troops. In this case, the Imperial Guard Command Office becomes even more important.
"Your Majesty, I have heard about it." Qi Jin said quickly.
Zhu Youxiao nodded and said, "Since you've already heard it, there's no need for me to repeat it. I'd like to entrust you with the establishment of the Imperial Guards Office. However, like the Five Military Commands Office, it will be divided into several offices."
"Commander of the Eastern Army, I intend to hand over the responsibility to you. Specifically, I plan to establish five guards, with a temporary number of 60,000. You should have enough people now, but you are just short of equipment and other things. I will have them prepared for you as soon as possible."
After hearing this, Qi Jin quickly bowed and said, "Yes, Your Majesty. I will definitely not let Your Majesty down."
After listening to Zhu Youxiao's words, Qi Jin understood that the Royal Guards Command Office was not just one office, but five offices, just like the Five Military Commanders' Office.
Obviously, His Majesty would not entrust all of his personal troops to one person. This was as it should be, and there was nothing much to say.
No one could say anything about this matter. Opinions and the like could only be put aside. The emperor would not allow anyone to get involved in this matter.
"As for the regulations of the yamen, I have already thought about it." Zhu Youxiao continued: "There will be one commander-in-chief of the imperial guards, and you will serve as the commander-in-chief; two deputy commanders; six commanders, each in charge of a guard; and the rest of the officials will be modeled after the Five Military Commandery. Go back and draft a set of regulations and submit them to me."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Qi Jin agreed again.
"If you have any other ideas, tell me as soon as possible. Once this matter is settled, it may be difficult to change it. Changing orders every day is a taboo in the army." Zhu Youxiao instructed.
"I understand." Qi Jin quickly agreed.
"Go ahead." Zhu Youxiao nodded.
"I'll take my leave." Qi Jin respectfully saluted Zhu Youxiao, turned around and walked out.
Looking at Qi Jin's leaving back, Zhu Youxiao did not show any strange expression on his face.
There was really no room for negotiation on this matter, and Qi Jin obviously knew about it.
"Has Sun Chuanting arrived?" Zhu Youxiao looked at Chen Hong and asked again.
"We've arrived." Chen Hong nodded and said, "We've arrived earlier than General Qi."
"Let him in." Zhu Youxiao nodded and said.
After hearing this, Chen Hong turned around and went out to bring people.
Not long after, Sun Chuanting walked in from outside.
Upon seeing Zhu Youxiao, Sun Chuanting quickly bowed and said, "I pay my respects to Your Majesty."
"Get up." Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and said, "I called you here today because I have something to ask you. How do you feel about following me to Shandong this time?"
Hearing this, Sun Chuanting hesitated.
In fact, he didn't have much contact with His Majesty, and he didn't even know why His Majesty valued him so much.
Since the beginning of the southwest, he has always been valued by His Majesty and has always been valued by His Majesty. This can be seen from his experience, and it has always been so.
Moreover, his promotion in official rank was also very rapid. Not to mention compared to those of his peers, even compared to some of his predecessors, his promotion could be said to be very rapid.
Now that His Majesty has called him in again, it is obvious that something has happened.
For a minister, being valued by His Majesty and being able to give full play to his talents is the grace of recognition.
Sun Chuanting was still a little hesitant. He was not afraid of saying something wrong, but was afraid that saying something wrong would disappoint His Majesty.
"Just say whatever you want to say. In front of me, you can tell me everything you know." Zhu Youxiao glanced at Sun Chuanting and said with a smile.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Sun Chuanting nodded and said, "I feel that the Ming Dynasty is not peaceful."
After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao laughed and asked, "Why is it not peaceful?"
"Whether in the southwest or, as recently, in Shandong, there are many people plotting evil. The region is rotten, officials are corrupt, and the people are living in hardship. If a natural disaster strikes, I'm afraid Shandong will suffer even more."
Zhu Youxiao nodded and asked with a smile, "Then what do you think is the reason?"
After hearing this question, Sun Chuanting was really hesitant.
After pondering for a while, he said tentatively, "Perhaps it's because I haven't been educated enough."
