Chapter 608 Ace Insider.
Zhu Youjian has been waiting for Zhu Yihai to make a mistake and give him an excuse to take action to destroy him.
Now, both external and internal conditions are relatively mature. As long as you catch Zhu Yihai and put him under house arrest, the remaining Zhejiang-based towns can be used to disintegrate one by one.
In the imperial study room, Zhu Youjian and He Tengjiao's cabinet soon reached a consensus, taking this opportunity to abolish Zhu Yihai and resolve the Zhejiang warlords.
If it could be achieved at this time, the Longwu court could bring power to the central government, and then resolve Sun Kewang, half of the Ming Dynasty's territory would be a solid piece.
In this way, Zhu Youjian might be able to lay a solid foundation for the emperors behind the Ming Dynasty in a short period of time and continue the national destiny of the Ming Dynasty.
When the emperor and the prime minister both believed that the opportunity was rare, although several universities such as Zhang Tongchang raised concerns in the cabinet, the result of the discussion still decided to abolish Zhu Yihai.
Yang Wencong left the palace with great worries. When he walked down the marble stairs, he was stunned for a moment and almost fell down. Zhang Tongchang next to him grabbed him, "Yangge Division, is it okay?"
Yang Wencong is Ma Shiying's brother-in-law, Zhao Ming's uncle, but almost no one knows about this relationship.
After Ma Shiao's death, Zhao Ming and the Longwu court had actually broken apart. However, due to their lack of strength after the defeat, Zhao Ming endured it and did not show his intention to overthrow the Longwu court.
Yang Wencong has always been a member of Zhao Ming and is also a member of the Kuomintang Party, but Zhu Youjian didn't know it.
When Zhu Youjian was escorted by Yang Wencong, he left Nanjing and entered Zhejiang. After that, whether Zhu Youjian was in Fujian or Huguang, Yang Wencong followed Zhu Youjian and was regarded as his confidant.
During the Battle of Recovering Nanjing, Yang Wencong was entrusted by Zhu Youjian to be the important task of staying behind the rear to supervise food and wages. After recapturing Nanjing, the cabinet was appointed as the leader of the war, and Du Yinxi and others were dismissed from their official positions. When Zhu Youjian reorganized the cabinet, he transferred Yang Wencong to Nanjing and served as the Grand Secretary, and formed a new cabinet with He Tengjiao.
"No, it's okay!" Yang Wencong calmed down and shook his head and said.
Zhang Tongchang couldn't help but sigh, "Why didn't Yanggemen say a word just now before His Majesty?"
Yang Wencong also wanted to say something, but after talking to He Tengjiao before, he already understood that just like Du Yinxi was not fighting He Tengjiao, nothing he said was useless, and instead revealed his identity.
Yang Wencong looked at Zhang Tongchang, and according to He Tengjiao's words, Zhang Juzheng's descendant had not yet understood what "loyalty to the emperor and patriotism" was.
From the beginning, the emperor wanted to abolish Zhu Yihai, and the emperor promoted He Tengjiao and their group of people to replace the cabinet of the war faction was to hope that they would help him and to abolish Zhu Yihai, not to let them stop him or dissuade him.
If Zhu Youjian doesn't mind if he doesn't understand this, he will replace them and choose a group of people who can understand his feelings.
He Tengjiao could see this very clearly, but Zhang Tongchang didn't understand it yet. In order to abolish Zhu Yihai, the emperor did not mind civil strife.
Yang Wencong smiled bitterly and said, "I have persuaded He Ge troops before, but it doesn't work!"
Zhang Tongchang always felt that Yang Wencong was a little strange today, and he was really depressed about the destruction of the crown prince, so he pulled Yang Wencong and said, "Let's go and have a drink together, I'll treat you!"
Yang Wencong broke free from Zhang Tongchang's hand, "No today, I have something to deal with. I will ask Zhang Ge's troops another day!"
After saying that, without waiting for Zhang Tongchang to react, he had already taken down the steps and quickly walked towards the palace gate.
Zhao Ming was not in Jiangdong, and Fang Guoan defected to the court again. The Zhejiang faction is now the most vulnerable time.
If Zhu Yihai was controlled and the Zhejiang clan had no leader, Li Chengdong and others would definitely not dare to fight against the court, and the Zhejiang clan collapse would only take a moment.
If the Zhejiang clique collapses, Donghai Town will be difficult to survive alone.
Therefore, in order to ensure that Donghai Town and the Kuomintang can seize power, the court must not control Zhu Yihai. Yang Wencong must pass the news to Zhu Yihai and let Zhu Yihai leave Nanjing.
Only when Zhu Yihai escaped from Nanjing and met with the Zhejiang general ministers, the Longwu court did not dare to act rashly.
Come out to the west of the imperial city and cross Xuanjin Bridge, it is a lively commercial street.
It is close to the palace and major yamen. Because the government does not care about food, during lunch breaks in the Ming Dynasty, except for some officials close to their homes who go home to have dinner, most of the officials and clerks will come to the wine shops and restaurants near Xuanjin Bridge.
This makes every restaurant in this area prosperous and crowded.
At this time, Yang Wencong sat in a sedan chair and headed towards Wenyuan Pavilion. When he passed by a tavern, he suddenly waved his hand and said, "Stop, this pavilion is a little hungry, eat something before going back!"
Yang Wencong got out of the sedan chair and walked to the restaurant and hesitated for a moment. He was Zhao Ming's most secret insider. Until the critical moment, Zhao Ming would not let him reveal his identity. He stood for a moment, but still walked in.
The restaurant clerk saw that it was a member of the bluish robe, and quickly brought it into the private room. Yang Wencong sat down in the room, took out a token from his arms, and placed it on the table. The clerk only glanced at it and immediately saluted: "Sir, please wait!"
In the East Palace, Zhu Yihai received the oral order from Zhu Youjian to summon him into the palace. After cleaning up, he left the East Palace in a carriage.
Since the restoration of Nanjing, although Zhu Yihai and Zhu Youjian have been fighting openly and secretly, the level of struggle has always remained in the officialdom.
What excuse did the Lords and the Lords find to get rid of several officials who supported Zhu Yihai, and the officials who supported Zhu Yihai collected information from the Lords and found those who were corrupt and impeached the corruption and abused the law, and brought down the officials of the Lords and the officials.
In general, the struggle between the two sides is still in the literary fight between reasoning each other and presenting evidence, but has not risen to the point of using force and taking people directly without reasoning.
This struggle caused the talent consumption between the two sides to be very fast. Many talented people were all involved in the struggle, demoted and dismissed. A small part of the officials of the six ministries of the Longwu Dynasty had vacancies, and no one had enough officials to take over.
Although there are many people who want to be an official, a third-rank minister was dismissed and could not be promoted casually, which caused many vacancies and no one was competent, which seriously affected the administration of the Ming Dynasty.
Despite this, the internal struggles of the Ming Dynasty were restricted to the officialdom and civil service system, which was always better than fighting each other.
At this time, Zhu Yihai took a carriage and left the Eastern Palace and headed towards the Imperial Palace.
As soon as the carriage left the Eastern Palace, several men immediately followed. After a closer look, they were wearing coarse cloth clothes on the outside, but there was a brocade robe inside. The familiar people only glanced at it and knew that it was the terrifying Jinyiwei.
Zhu Yihai's carriage was guarded by the East Palace guards. The Jinyiwei did not dare to get too close. He just followed Zhu Yihai and his party in the distance to ensure that Zhu Yihai fell into the trap.
The commander of the Jinyiwei, Ma Jixiang, had already ambushed a thousand elite Jinyiwei soldiers at Hongwu Gate. As long as Zhu Yihai entered Hongwu Gate, he would immediately lock him up and then put him under house arrest.
Gao Huan, the commander of the Jinyiwei, monitored Zhu Yihai to avoid accidents. However, in order to avoid alarming the enemy, Gao Huan only led a few people.
At this time, the carriage was walking along Taiping Street, and it was about to reach Hongwu Gate. Gao Huan was breathing a sigh of relief. A large cart came out from the alley next to him and hit Gao Huan and his group. The carriage was on the jar and broke all over the ground. A group of guys immediately surrounded him. The leader immediately grabbed Gao Huan and argued loudly, "Don't you have eyes? Pay the money!"
Gao Huan frowned and looked cold, but the other party was not a good person, so he was not afraid of the Jinyiwei's gaze that wanted to kill people.
At this time, Zhu Yihai was unaware of what happened later, but sat upright in the carriage, closed his eyes and rested, and was thinking about Zhao Ming's suggestion.
Now the emperor is asking him for trouble everywhere. Although he is cautious, he will inevitably make some mistakes. If this continues, Zhu Youjian will always find excuses to destroy himself.
Recently, the imperial court has stepped up its efforts to reduce the vassals. Zhu Yihai wrote a letter some time ago, demanding the promotion of 28 Zhejiang generals and giving tens of thousands of Zhejiang troops to solve the organizational problems. Zhu Youjian has not criticized it.
The peace sect was sinister and did not give promotion or food or pay. The Zhejiang army could not resist it. They either disbanded and went back to farm or started to make trouble. When the trouble broke out, a large army of the court came to quell the rebellion and justified the troubled army.
In this way, whether the Zhejiang army gathers a group of people on its own or is put down a group of people due to trouble, the goal of weakening the feudal states can be achieved.
If this continues, the Zhejiang generals will not be promoted and the tens of thousands of Zhejiang troops will not be resolved. The Zhejiang generals will probably lose confidence in him.
This made Zhu Yihai very worried, but Zhao Ming proposed that the Zhejiang-based towns send troops to Liaodong to participate in the war, Jiangdong came to pay military salaries, and gave rewards and benefits, which opened up a way for Zhu Yihai.
At this time, he was thinking in the carriage, and suddenly with a "whisper" sound outside the carriage, an arrow shot directly into the car window.
