Chapter 584: Three Doctors

Emperor Wanli was very interested, and asked Lin Tai: "Are names like Military Intelligence Agency too eye-catching?

Using this name to direct businessmen's activities outside can easily arouse alert from outside parties. "

It seemed that the emperor was really interested. Lin Tailai could only reply: "Your Majesty is wise."

The emperor added: "There is no need to use words such as military affairs. Using slightly ordinary words such as correspondence and trade can cover it up a little."

Lin Tailai has no obsession with names. No matter whether the name is military intelligence, statistics, investigation, intelligence, security, or confidentiality, it doesn't matter.

But the other ministers beside him couldn't stand it anymore. The emperor's thinking jumped too fast. Has he forgotten what the theme of today's court meeting is?

Lin Tailai was rambling here and there, completely taking the topic astray!

So Shen Shixing, the first assistant, had to remind him: "There is still some work to do. I respectfully request Chen Jue."

Emperor Wanli wanted to cut the knot quickly, "As for the general strategy, just follow what Lin Tailai said!

As for the others, everyone will discuss and recommend them, and they will be sent out today! "

As a result, the style of the court became serious again, and the ministers spoke freely. After each proposal was adopted, the decree was immediately issued.

Governor Mei Yousong was dismissed from his post, and the original governor Gao Guangxian died, seeking his imperial edict.

Li Tingyi, the governor of Gansu, was transferred, and Qian Kai and Li Ding, the relevant military personnel, were dismissed from their posts.

The price of the horse from Taipu Temple was 100,000 taels of silver and was sent to Gansu to prepare for expenditure.

Yu Zhizhen was promoted to the right to participate in politics in Shaanxi Province and became the governor of Gansu Province.

Shi Yao, the envoy to Shanxi Province, was transferred to govern Xining. Li Chengzhi was promoted to right political advisor to Sichuan Province to prepare the Tao-Min army, and Xu Sanwei, deputy envoy to Henan Province, was promoted to prepare the western route army.

Of course, the most important appointment was to immediately appoint Zheng Luo, the minister of military affairs, as the governor of the three sides of Shaanxi, with full power to manage the northwest.

There is no controversy about this appointment. Everyone thinks Zheng Luo is the right candidate.

Zheng Luo accepted the appointment on the spot, and then said: "I recommend Lin Tai to be counselor of military affairs."

This petition surprised all the ministers. You don't know what kind of character Lin Tailai is. Aren't you afraid that Lin Tailai will fight for power with you?

Do you, Zheng Luo, want to be the first governor to be trained by Lin Tailai?

Zheng Luo also knew that he was supposed to be the protagonist today, but Lin Tailai stole a lot of the limelight.

But Zheng Luo still planned to recommend Lin Tailai and drag Lin Tailai to the front line together.

First, Lin Tailai is indeed very useful, especially in united front work, and he plays an irreplaceable role.

Second, Lin Tailai has strong ability to withstand pressure or take the blame. If things don't go well, he can pull Lin Tailai to share the responsibility.

As for the fight for power, if you Lin Tailai has the ability, you can take away all the power of the governor. Zheng Luo is still happy and relaxed.

For a moment, no one in the hall spoke. Regardless of the pros and cons, everyone was silent when faced with Zheng Luo's recommendation of Lin Tailai.

The main reason is that no one can clearly see whether they should oppose or agree.

Is letting Lin Tailai go to the northwest front a good thing or a bad thing? No one can figure it out.

Involving the unpredictable Lin Tailai, everyone lost confidence in their own judgment.

Emperor Wanli was also undecided and asked, "What do you think of Lin Tailai?"

Lin Tailai said a little embarrassedly: "I don't even have a military official position, how can I be a military counselor?

Besides, is I still responsible for establishing an intelligence network? If you go to the northwest, your progress will inevitably be affected. "

There are two hints, one is that you don’t want to go, and the other is that if you have to go, you have to give enough benefits.

After Emperor Wanli thought for a while, he said: "There is a new Communications Department in the Ministry of War, which is responsible for intelligence and maps, and Lin Tailai is also the doctor.

Lin Tailai can first hold the title of Langzhong of the Ministry of War and go to the northwest to counsel military affairs. After returning from the northwest, he can then start the establishment of the Communications Department. "

When the ministers heard this, they felt that the emperor was so uneducated.

Except for the Ministry of Husbandry and the Ministry of Punishment, which have thirteen divisions, the other six ministries have four perfectly symmetrical divisions.

If the Ministry of War is expanded to five divisions, it will be asymmetrical!

Lin Tailai had no choice but to step forward to receive the order.

His original intention was just to talk, and he didn't really want to travel thousands of miles to go to the northwest in person, but the emperor issued an order and he had to obey.

Seeing Lin Tailai receiving orders at the critical moment, the officials had mixed feelings. Some were afraid that Lin Tailai would make new achievements, and some were afraid that Lin Tailai would cause trouble.

So far, this discussion on the Tao and He changes is basically complete.

The strategy is decided, the candidates are finalized, the money and food are prepared, and the rest is execution.

Finally, the emperor issued an order: "Military affairs are urgent. The civil servants and generals in Beijing are ordered to set off within three days!"

This emergency court meeting was over, and the officials dispersed, returning to the Yamen and packing their luggage.

Walking outside the Wenhua Hall, Lin Tailai complained to Zheng Luo: "You can quell the chaos with Da Sima, why bother bringing me along!"

Zheng Luo said calmly: "Commanders are easy to be slandered when they are outside. No matter whether you are tough or soft, there will be impeachment in the court.

If someone with such a reputation as you is here to serve as counselor and intimidate the officials, a lot of noise can be saved. "

Lin Tailai: "."

As expected of a twenty-year-old border minister, his ideas are clear.

After leaving the palace, Lin Tailai hurried to the Ministry of War.

Although a new department cannot be formally established yet, since it is also an official position in the Ministry of War, it is not necessary to go to the Ministry of War to plant a flag first.

It may be possible for one person to serve as multiple ministers, but if one person serves as the doctor of three ministers, who else is there?

Wang Yi'e, the Secretary of the Ministry of War, and the left and right ministers and ministers came out. As soon as they reached the gate of the Ministry of War, they saw Lin Tailai chasing after him.

Wang Yi'e asked: "Why is Lin Jiuyuan here if he doesn't prepare for the Western Expedition?"

Lin Tailai laughed and said: "I came to visit the ministers of the Ministry of War and my colleagues in the Lang Office!"

Wang Yi'e asked maliciously: "But do you want to inspect the officials of the Ministry of War to see how they are?"

Lin Tailai frowned and replied: "What does the Grand Marshal mean?"

Wang Yi'e said: "Nothing else, I don't want to see the chaos of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Personnel repeat in the Ministry of War."

As for the bad things Lin Tailai did in the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Personnel, such as the frequent dethronement of Shangshu and Shilang, and the forcible plundering of power from other departments, which chief officer would not be vigilant?

Although it is an old tradition for Langzhong to be strong in the six ministries of the Ming Dynasty, it is a change to be so strong as Lin Tailai!

Seeing Wang Yi'e's straightforward statement, Lin Tailai made a promise and said, "Don't worry, Grand Marshal! The composition of the officials in the Ministry of War is very good, and the Qingliu Party members have not infiltrated deeply, so there is no need to rectify them!"

Wang Yi'e still said with some resistance, "Your position as a military doctor is just an honorary title, so you don't need to come in today. Wait until you return to the court from the Western Expedition, and then you can officially go to the yamen!"

Lin Tailai looked again and again, and thought that it might be that today's appointment was too sudden, and the old minister was not mentally prepared.

So Lin Tailai said generously, "Since the Grand Marshal has spoken, I will come to pay my respects after I return to the court!"

The main reason is that today's time is quite tight, and I have to go to the Hanlin Academy, the Ministry of Personnel, and the Ministry of Rites to explain my affairs, so I don't have much time to dawdle.
