Zhu Yijun always takes one step and looks at the next.
He had already been thinking about suitable candidates for Feng Bao's Dongchang position.
Zhang Hong was eliminated by him first.
At first, he may not be able to take over smoothly, and there will be too much resistance. There are many people who are staring at himself and Zhang Hong.
Even Queen Mother Li may not agree.
Secondly, even if you can pick peaches, it will easily arouse unnecessary hostility from all parties.
Zhang Hong may not be able to catch Feng Bao's counterattack.
The third one is Zhang Hong’s team, which is too bad.
After all, Dongchang is a military position, and Zhang Hong does not have this background.
Feng Bao has been in charge of Dongchang for six years since the first year of Longqing, and his roots are deep.
If Zhang Hong takes over, he will really not be able to control it easily for a while.
Moreover, Feng Bao occupies the position of Chief Ceremony Supervisor and is the nominal boss of Dongchang. If he is commanding Dongchang's close confidants from afar, it is really hard to say who will call the shots in Dongchang.
But Li Jin couldn't be more suitable.
Among the internal ministers, the Royal Horse Prison is originally the seniority of the military ministers. In the narrow sense, it is the person who raises horses, and in the broad sense, it is the person who leads the guard camp.
As the eunuch Bingbi, the imperial eunuch, Li Jin always has a team of his own even if he is transferred.
In addition, Li Jin is a relative, once his identity is raised, a large number of ministers will immediately move closer to him, which Zhang Hong cannot compare with.
Various factors can allow Li Jin to actually master Dongchang as soon as possible.
The most important thing is that Li Jin is the elder brother of Empress Dowager Li, and he has a kindness to their mother and son.
Whether it is relatives or kindness, it can be said that trust naturally passes the test.
This would make Empress Dowager Li less likely to feel coerced by foreign powers.
You can also use this guise to block unnecessary sight and hidden arrows.
As for how to control Li Jin...hasn't this already begun to moisturize things silently?
He is a person who values ​​kindness - otherwise he would not have opened the back door to send Empress Dowager Li into Prince Yu's Mansion.
As for what happened today, Li Wei will publicize it well among his relatives.
Naturally, Li Jin should also know who he should be grateful to for his rise to power.
Zhu Yijun thought about it carefully, realizing that he had not missed anything, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Another phased step.
When he came back to his senses, he heard Zhu Xizhong's voice.
"It is a minister's duty to share your worries with you." Zhu Xizhong knelt beside him and replied.
Zhu Yijun looked over.
This Cheng Guogong is really reliable in his work and never slips up.
He couldn't bear to let the prince go to Hexi.
I couldn't help but sigh: "My lord, you should take good care of your health and share your worries with me."
After hearing this, Zhu Xizhong smiled bitterly and said: "Life has its own number of days, I can disobey it."
"But a hundred years from now, everyone in the Duke's palace will continue to share your Majesty's worries."
Zhu Yijun laughed, this was asking for a promise from him.
He approached and helped Zhu Xizhong up.
He said in a relaxed tone: "Is the jade pendant I sent Zhang Hong to the Duke of Guo that day?"
Zhu Xizhong quickly put his hand into his arms and prepared to return the object to its original owner.
Zhu Yijun stopped extending his hand and smiled: "It's better for the Duke to keep this jade."
"It's a good idea to remind me at any time. As long as this jade doesn't break, I will remember to become the Duke's Mansion."
The implication is that as long as he survives for a day, he will not let the government down.
After Zhu Xizhong heard this, he paused for a moment and then sighed: "I have served three dynasties and enjoyed God's grace. I am really lucky for three lifetimes."
Believe it or not, thank you for this.
He also knew that the emperor had reached his limit when making such a promise.
You can't make people swear to God.
Zhu Yijun nodded: "My mother has a niece who is of appropriate age. If there are talented people in the Duke's family, we can interact with each other."
This is some practical benefit to Zhu Xizhong in addition to his promise.
Not compared to small roles like Zhang Hong and Jiang Keqian.
If a commander of the Royal Guards is also the third official, if he only makes a verbal promise, it is still too weak after all.
It would be a tangible benefit to have the Duke of Guo and Empress Dowager Li be related by marriage and have more background.
He had already discussed this matter with Li Wei just now. It cannot be said that he was moved, he could only be said to be ecstatic.
With Li Wei's attitude, you can safely make promises to others - after all, this is not an era of free marriage.
Most of the marriages of relatives were based on honorary ties. For example, Empress Dowager Li's sister married Pingjiang Bo Chen Wangmo.
The most Zhu Yijun can do is to check that the opponent is not a bad person and the forces behind him are not seeking death. That is enough.
But if you are looking for someone with outstanding talent and good looks like Pan An, then just go to bed.
Zhu Xizhong did not expect that the new emperor would be so generous.
As soon as I did something, I was immediately rewarded with such a generous reward. I quickly thanked him and said, "Your Majesty..."
Zhu Yijun interrupted these unnecessary links: "Okay, let's get down to business."
Zhu Xizhong quickly shut up and secretly thought that indeed, Tian Zao would be sent on a mission later.
Zhu Yijun looked at Zhu Xizhong and got straight to the point: "Last year, the late emperor wanted to reinstate Gu Huan as governor of the capital, but he was impeached and dismissed from office. Do you know this?"
The capital camp is the garrison camp permanently stationed in the capital, and the governor is the chief officer of the capital camp.
Last year, the late emperor supported Gu Huan to take charge of the capital camp, but officials successively impeached Gu Huan.
Wang Zongzai, the Taoist censor of Guangxi, even said that Gu Huan was greedy for power and position, alienated the emperor and his ministers, and wanted to take away his title.
Gu Huan was so frightened that he suddenly suffered from dementia overnight. He was not cured until the late emperor agreed that he should become an official.
As for whether he was impeached because he was really old and demented?
He only knew that historically, Gu Huan would rise again next year and take charge of the governor's office of the Left Army - at least from Zhang Juzheng's point of view, Gu Huan was not too old to be old.
Zhu Xizhong naturally knew about this and he did not hide it.
He said bluntly: "Gu Huan, the Marquis of Zhenyuan, served successively as the Commander-in-Chief of the Left Army, the Commander-in-Chief of the Central Army in Nanjing, the Governor of Water Transport, and the Commander-in-Chief of the Right Army from the 12th year of Jiajing.
Qualifications"
"Especially in the 33rd year of Jiajing, after the Gengxu Rebellion, he specially came to Beijing to prepare the capital camp."
"His martial arts skills are outstanding, his prestige is grand, and he ranks among the top three...it is beyond the control of the Ministry of War."
I have already said this, and you would be stupid if you still don’t understand.
The Governor's Mansion of the Fifth Army is the foundation of the Privy Council; the Governor of Water Transport has the ability to govern; the Admiral of Guangdong and Guangxi has the ability to attack in battle.
Not to mention the powerful figures who were ordered to reorganize the Beijing camp during the Jiajing period.
For such a noble man who was outstanding in both civil and military skills, if he wanted to take the capital camp into his hands, the Ministry of War could only watch.
Perhaps some people were unwilling to sit back and watch something like this happen, so there were impeachments one after another.
After Zhu Yijun heard this, he did not directly explain why he asked about it.
Instead, he continued to ask: "What about the successor Zhangwu Bo Yang Bing?"
This person took over, but it didn't cause any trouble.
Zhu Xizhong sighed: "After Zhangwu Bo Yang Bing took charge of the capital camp, the first thing he did was to send the memorial directly to Tianting. Instead, it was discussed by the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of War reviewed the memorial and submitted it."
Changes in processes are changes in power.
Reporting to the emperor became the Ministry of War in the middle. This was a change from the aloof status in the Gu Huan period, bowing to the Ministry of War, and being humble.
After the Yingzong period, the appearance of honorable nobles was the norm.
What he didn't say was that Shizong suspected that there was something fishy about Yingzong, so he took advantage of the Gengxu Incident to strongly support Gu Huan and go beyond the Ministry of War to prepare the capital camp.
Zhu Xizhong was also unsure whether Emperor Sejong was extraordinarily sensitive or was inherently suspicious.
Anyway, it's all in the past, and he doesn't care if it's true or false.
For Xungui, the position given by Shizong was real.
It's a pity that as soon as Shizong left, he was immediately returned by the late emperor.
Zhu Yijun frowned: "Uncle Zhangwu has always been so cautious in his words and deeds?"
Is he taking advantage of being a civil servant, or is he just a waste?
Zhu Xizhong shook his head: "At that time, Prince Zhangwu was interrogated by the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Ministry of Punishment for committing adultery. He was acquitted only ten months later."
Zhu Yijun was silent, what a series of moves.
This is also the reason why he has never reached out to Jingying.
When it comes to military power, the situation is too complicated.
At the beginning, the Governor's Office of the Fifth Army was almost the same as the Privy Council. After several restructurings, it fell under the control of the Ministry of War.
This capital camp is the focus of competition among all parties, and they can only figure it out slowly.
It was only now that Zhu Xizhong was standing behind him that he dared to have such an idea.
Force is always the greatest confidence in overturning the table.
The reason why he first contacted the commander of the Jinyiwei after time travel, and why he insisted on removing Feng Baodongchang's position, were all due to this consideration.
Zhu Yijun looked at Zhu Xizhong and said: "My lord, I am so grateful to you. In addition to offering amnesty to the whole world, I will also spread my kindness widely."
"I heard that the Marquis of Zhenyuan, Gu Huan, has no biological children. What do you think of my subordinate son, Gu Chengguang, commanding his affairs with a royal guard?"
A son is a brother's son.
He is now the one who has been decided to adopt Gu Huan and inherit the title.
Now he has an extra favor, and after he ascends the throne, he can transfer this favor to his relatives.
Zhu Xizhong was silent for a moment and understood what the emperor meant.
He nodded slowly: "My lord, I'm going to inquire about Gu Chengguang's talents and character immediately."
Zhu Yijun sighed happily: "I can rest assured that the Duke is doing his job."
The test is naturally not about talent and character, but how much loyalty and patriotism there is.
If Gu Chengguang is willing to be like Jiang Keqian, he will accompany him around.
That means Gu Huan agreed to this matter.
It also shows that Gu Huan is still willing to fight for the capital camp on behalf of the new emperor.
Of course, if you don't want to, I'm afraid you can only stay dormant for a while, and then let Qi Jiguang enter Beijing.
In short, this Jingying must be obtained.
Whether it is the promise of Li Wei's shipping, or the mining tax case in Huguang, or Du Tian's attack on Xu Jie, or even the suppression of Xuanda's abnormal movements, all actions can only be taken after getting the Beijing camp.
Zhu Xizhong bowed and was about to leave.
Zhu Yijun nodded and watched Zhu Xizhong leave.
He stood in front of the door for a while before turning around and heading to the front hall.
…
June 15th.
The emperor gave silver coins to his assistant ministers and the six ministries, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Five Prefectures, the Minister of Rongzheng, the Shangbaosi, Zhigaofang and other officials.
Also, in accordance with the emperor's imperial edict, Empress Dowager Chen Yizhi and Empress Dowager Li Yizhi responded to the matter of the impeachment of Feng Bao by seventy-six officials, and the edict said:
The laws established by our ancestors are extremely precise and must be followed throughout the ages.
In recent years, some officials have ignored the Constitution, causing chaos and confusion among the military and civilians. How can it be governed?
In order to seek the will of the ancestors and establish the law through Mingkao, the inner court should set an example.
Feng Bao, the Chief Supervisor of Ceremonies, is in charge of the affairs of the East Factory and is also in charge of the affairs of the Royal Horse Supervisor. Feng Bao has said that in order to meet the needs of expediency and many important positions, please reduce the post of the East Factory.
Emperor Xianyun.
From the date of the edict, Feng Baodong was removed from his position in Dongchang, and Li Jin, the eunuch of the Royal Horse Supervisor Bingbi, was transferred to the position of Chief Litef Bingbi to supervise the Dongchang.
All the ministries and departments know it, thank you.
The decree was issued in the name of the two palaces and the emperor, and its legitimacy was beyond doubt.
The content is also simple and clear, which is to transfer the East Factory from Feng Bao to Li Jin.
It doesn't matter whether he was impeached or took the initiative, and no one will delve into it.
If you want to fight but not break, you should always save the face that should be saved.
With this edict, the Sixth Section showed a rare display of work efficiency.
After a while, it was copied by various ministries and departments and spread to the ears of all officials.
In the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the censors were greatly encouraged, as if they had won a battle.
After all, he forced the Empress Dowager to give in.
This is both qualifications and reputation.
However, things are not that simple.
Before the officials were happy for a long time, they received two more edicts that followed.
The first is the decree of Empress Dowager Li, asking the general affairs envoy why the palace has not received Yuan Fu's report on the gains and losses in Chen's tenure. Is it lost? Please explain quickly.
The second was an imperial edict from the emperor, stating that officials who had not yet submitted the memorial should submit it as soon as possible.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see these two decrees. They are two sentences spoken by one person.
The target was naturally Gao Gong, the chief minister of the dynasty who had not yet been dismissed.
On the same day, the general affairs envoy replied to the palace that the memorial of Gao Gong, the first assistant, was accidentally damaged and needed to be copied again, so the date was delayed.
On the same day, Yang Bo, Minister of the Ministry of War, was preparing to reply to Hu Ke's bullet and had no time to discuss it.
But for some unknown reason, Hu Ke said that it had been found out and quietly withdrew the impeachment, letting Yang Shangshu go to the court for discussion.
As soon as Yang Bo came to court, he received an order to reduce Feng Bao's position.
Later, feeling that Feng Bao was impeached by the ancestral law, the court openly asked whether it was in line with the ancestral system for Gao Gong, the chief assistant, to be the minister of the Ministry of Personnel.
Lu Tiaoyang, the Minister of Rites, immediately agreed.
He also asked Ge Shouli, the imperial censor of the capital, that his ancestors had established the law. Could it be that he just watched others serve food?
Ge Shouli argued vigorously.
Liu Ziqiang, the Secretary of the Ministry of Justice, criticized Yang Bo and implicated Lu Tiaoyang in Gua Man. In fact, he was harboring evil intentions and causing trouble for the government.
At the same time, the governor of Cangchang, Wang Guangguang, read the content of the edict in court, saying, "Look to the wishes of our ancestors and make it a law through clear examination."
Now that an edict has been issued, how can we turn a blind eye? It is time to clarify who is disrespecting the ancestral law.
Feng Bao, the Supervisor of Ceremonies, repeatedly took the opportunity to step on the high arch.
It is said that even the Chief of Ceremonies can lead by example, why is Gao Gong not even as good as a eunuch?
After being scolded by the official, he said that Ge Shouli had impeached him, but ignored Gao Gong. Isn't this clear evidence of a clique?
The six ministries and nine ministers, the Chief of Ceremony, Zhangyin and other high-ranking officials immediately started the battle.
Under such circumstances, Yi Ying's servant, Qian Du's censor, and Ji Ji were not even qualified to interrupt.
We can only watch and tremble.
Unexpectedly, Gao Gong, who was at the center of the controversy, was slightly stunned at first, but soon stood at the head of the class as if nothing had happened.
Not only did he have no words of defense, he didn't even say half a sentence, as if everything had nothing to do with him and he could just be a bystander.
The emperor has a pure heart and will ask directly if he has doubts.
The Queen of the Court asked Yuan Fu why he did not defend himself.
Gao Gong only said that he would submit a memorial to the official as soon as possible.
It seemed that he was really disheartened and wanted to become a career official.
One day, the crowd was in an uproar.
Chapter completed!
