Chapter 044: The Inner Court Makes Waves
Inner Court, Qianqing Palace.
Zhu Youxiao's face was very gloomy, because of the affairs of Liaoxi, he was never in a good mood, and because of this, the atmosphere in the hall became very solemn.
The officials who were summoned saw their own sons of heaven like this, all of them stood in silence with their tails between their legs.
Although there are many doubts in their hearts, they are all like old monks at this time, and the rules and regulations are in their own ranks, and they have not exceeded half a point.
Before they figured out what kind of intentions their own genius wanted to come up with, they were honest like good babies.
But the more this happened, the stronger Zhu Youxiao's anger became, because he seemed to see that the ministers below him were deceiving their superiors and subordinates for the sake of their so-called political achievements.
Wei Zhongxian, who was beside him, was concentrating at the moment, paying attention to the situation in the hall.
Before the courtiers arrived, the emperor entered the palace in advance to wait, which in itself was already out of line.
But Zhu Youxiao was so angry in his heart that he wanted to look at what kind of emotions every minister who entered the hall had at first.
Zhu Youxiao wanted to find out who had the final say in the current Ming Dynasty.
But as the emperor's personal eunuch, although ensuring power is what Wei Zhongxian has to do at present, ensuring the emperor's health is his most important task.
All the power of the eunuchs in the inner court came from the emperor.
If anything goes wrong with the emperor, then the first ones to be protected will be their eunuchs.
Therefore, wanting to get rid of the momentum of the Donglin Party in the DPRK is indeed the most urgent thing in Wei Zhongxian's heart, but it is also something he must take into account to let Zhu Youxiao properly relieve his mood.
So after some investigation, seeing Sun Chengzong enter the palace, Wei Zhongxian said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Master Sun is here." ”
"Huh?" Hearing Wei Zhongxian's reminder, Zhu Youxiao followed his gaze, and after seeing this good teacher, his indignant mood was much better.
Sun Chengzong, with a strange appearance, his eyes are bright, his sword eyebrows are upside down, and his beard is even more open like a halberd, giving people a sense of stubbornness.
Although he is thin, he is very tall, as if he has encountered a big thing, and in front of Sun Chengzong, it is nothing.
Sun Chengzong, who has passed half a hundred, does not have ringing ears and eyes, his back is straight, and his movements are still agile.
"Master Sun, come to me quickly, give me a ......"
Originally, Sun Chengzong entered the palace, and when he saw that the atmosphere in the hall was so dull, he wanted to be low-key, although he didn't know what the emperor meant this time, but Sun Chengzong still had the gossip.
can be the teacher of this young son of heaven, even if Sun Chengzong sometimes wants to keep a low profile, it depends on whether his disciple the emperor is willing or not.
Obviously, wanting to keep a low profile is already a luxury.
Under the gaze of Ye Xianggao, Liu Yixian, Han Kuang and other ministers, Sun Chengzong stepped forward hard, and the most taboo thing in officialdom is to become the eyes of everyone.
Although Sun Chengzong and Liu Yixian are good friends, sometimes in the officialdom, no matter how good their friendship is, it can't match the real power.
"Master Sun, how much do you know about Jiannu?" This Sun Chengzong hadn't stood firm yet, and he wanted to bow down to thank him, but an inquiry from Zhu Youxiao also came.
Growing up in the deep palace, let Zhu You proofread the Jiannu Eight Banners, and he didn't have too intuitive feelings, and his feelings about it came more from the emergency military situation, twists and turns, etc.
But also because of this, Zhu Youxiao also had doubts in his heart, why did the Ming Xiong Army repeatedly defeat Jiannu?
Such a thought, even after he learned about the situation in Liaoxi, became stronger in his heart!
As a teacher, Sun Chengzong's life can be described as full of legends.
Before being conferred on the list, the young Sun Chengzong taught at the homes of officials who understood military affairs in the DPRK and China, and after that, he stayed in Datong for several years.
Datong is an important military town in the Ming Frontier, and Sun Chengzong stays here, so it is inevitable that he will come into contact with military affairs.
At this time, the Ming frontier no longer has stability in the true sense.
This also made Sun Chengzong have nothing to do, he likes to communicate with border veterans and low-level officers, and because of this, he has a deep interest in border military affairs.
If you are not afraid that civilian officials will read too much, you are afraid that civilian officials will practice military affairs; But obviously this sentence does not apply to Sun Chengzong.
"Back to Your Majesty." Listening to the Son of Heaven's inquiry, Sun Chengzong was in the official robe, bowed down and said respectfully: "Jiannu, from the white water and black soil.
The harsh living environment allows them to have a strong physique.
Originally......"
As one of the few civil officials in the dynasty who knew anything about Jiannu, Sun Chengzong told Zhu Youxiao what he knew.
also because of Sun Chengzong's detailed narration, Zhu Youxiao had a deeper understanding of Jiannu, it turned out that Nurhachi actually had such a ability!
Time passed little by little, except for Zhao Zongwu, who was rushing, the rest of the officials of the DPRK and China who were summoned by Zhu Youxiao were all in place.
Ye Xianggao frowned slightly, seeing that his own son of heaven was ignoring the situation in the palace, and communicating with Sun Chengzong on his own, as the first assistant of the cabinet, he had the responsibility and obligation to remind him.
Especially looking at the indifferent Wei Zhongxian, Ye Xianggao's eyes flashed with a little disgust.
"Your Majesty......"
Yu Guang glanced at the ministers in the hall, Ye Xianggao was slightly dressed in official robes, his expression was serious, he arched his hands, bowed, and then rushed to Zhu Youxiao on the dragon chair and reminded him kindly.
However, before Ye Xianggao finished speaking, Zhu Youxiao, who was originally communicating with Sun Chengzong, stopped, stared at Ye Xianggao with scrutiny in his eyes, and then looked at the ministers in the palace.
The disdain in his eyes was still noticed by some ministers in the palace, and he was even more speculating in his heart, speculating about what happened to the emperor.
The hall was dead silent.
Everyone can notice that today's emperor is a little unusual, but they don't know what is going on.
"You are all my Daming humerus, and I want to ask you, what practical things have you done for Daming?"
At this time, Zhu Youxiao no longer had the ease of communicating with Sun Chengzong, and was replaced by a bland and extreme indifference.
Especially when Zhu Youxiao said this, the object he was facing was obviously Ye Xianggao led by the ministers.
Zhu Youxiao is young, so he is not good at disguising his emotions many times.
So for Ye Xianggao and the ministers, who have experienced countless struggles, they can guess with their heels that their own emperor is probably very angry at this moment!
What is the point of anger?
Most of it has something to do with Liaoxi!
Since Zhu Youxiao ascended the throne, he has not been directly involved in some major affairs in the court, but has lived in the inner court and assigned specific matters.
In recent years, because of the loyal dogs around him, Wei Zhongxian's ascension has been successful, which also makes Zhu Youxiao have a different style of doing things from when he first ascended the throne.
This time it's probably not so easy to deal with.
Ye Xianggao, Liu Yixi, Han Kuang and other ministers are all like this idea in their hearts at this moment.
