At this time, many civilian officials in the DPRK and China pointed the spearhead at Yu Qian, the secretary of the military department, and there was a great tendency to besiege it.

Seeing this, the military attachés in the main hall also stepped forward shirtless, and quarreled with the civil officials in the main hall in order to relieve Yu Qian's siege.

However, Emperor Jingtai returned to a state of silence, allowing the ministers of the court and the central government to quarrel constantly, waiting for the end of the court discussion.

Emperor Jingtai listened to the fierce arguments between the two sides of the court, but his mind kept thinking.

To be honest, Emperor Jingtai actually understood that the advice of Shang Shuyu Qian of the Ministry of War and Liu Juntao, the chief military officer of Yanzhou Town, was right, but Emperor Jingtai also had his own ideas, at this time, in the face of the remnants of the orthodox emperor of the Taishang Emperor, Emperor Jingtai urgently needed the support of the Chinese officials of the dynasty, and these civilian officials were the greatest help for Emperor Jingtai to fully control the government of the dynasty!

Therefore, at this time, the Chinese officials of the DPRK were vigorously fighting for power, and Emperor Jingtai maintained a neutral attitude, which greatly contributed to the arrogance of the Chinese officials of the DPRK.

At the same time, Emperor Jingtai also expressed it with his own practical actions, and formed a tacit understanding with most of the civil officials in the court, which can be regarded as a small and unspoken agreement:

Emperor Jingtai tacitly allowed the Chinese official group to seize some power, while the civil official group took corresponding action in the struggle between Emperor Jingtai and Emperor Taishang Orthodox Emperor to support Emperor Jingtai's plan to take power!

At this time, Emperor Jingtai looked at the people who were arguing and couldn't help but sigh slightly.

To tell the truth, Emperor Jingtai still attaches great importance to Yu Qian, the secretary of the military department, if it weren't for Yu Qian who led his important ministers to support his ascension to the throne in times of crisis, I am afraid that he will only be a prince in his life.

However, at this time, Yu Qian was a little unable to distinguish the current situation, and led the military attaches above the court to vigorously counterattack the civilian clique, which heated up the dispute between the two sides, which was also a kind of interference to Emperor Jingtai's plan.

Moreover, Yu Qian was out of loyalty to the country, and Emperor Jingtai could not reprimand Yu Qian and others, so he had no choice but to remain silent.

Today, this protracted discussion between the government and the opposition has lasted for more than a month, and the government affairs of the DPRK and China have been deeply affected, and the people of the localities and provinces are also panicking.

Emperor Jingtai knew in his heart that it was time to make a decision, otherwise if things dragged on like this, it would be very likely to be beyond his control!

Of course, Emperor Jingtai's determination to end this controversy, which lasted for more than a month, was not a whim, but a decision made after Emperor Jingtai had roughly eliminated several important vassals of Emperor Taishang's orthodox emperor.

At this time, Emperor Jingtai no longer has any concerns, what he wants to do has come to an end for the time being, and now he can rectify the courtiers!

So, Emperor Jingtai waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, Aiqing, be quiet!" ”

Emperor Jingtai, who hadn't spoken much for more than a month, suddenly spoke, and the civil and military ministers in the court suddenly quieted down.

Yu Qian also frowned slightly, and looked at Emperor Jingtai worriedly, not knowing what Emperor Jingtai would say.

For a long time, he didn't make any remarks in the court, and Shi Heng, the right governor of the right capital, Xu Youzhen, the superintendent of the imperial history, and Cao Jixiang, the eunuch who served on the side of the court, were also slightly stunned, and looked at Emperor Jingtai one after another, and the three of them looked complicated, all of them looked thoughtful.

And those civil officials and imperial historians also looked at Emperor Jingtai in unison, but soon these people began to shout again, and they all asked Emperor Jingtai to make a decision, immediately transfer all the powers of the military attachés in the court to the civilian officials, and severely punish Liu Juntao, the chief military officer of Yanzhou Town!

Seeing that the Chinese officials of the court shouted again, the military attachés in the main hall did not back down, and immediately launched a counterattack, and the people above the main hall suddenly became loud and fell into a quarrel again.

Emperor Jingtai couldn't help frowning when he saw this, and his heart was also full of anger.

"Shut up!"

I only heard Emperor Jingtai roar, and then he stood up from the dragon chair suddenly, and the court was suddenly silent, and everyone bowed their heads and was silent, for fear that Emperor Jingtai would spill his anger on himself.

"I! It's the son of heaven of the Ming Dynasty! You Aiqing have been arguing for more than a month, which one of them will take me seriously? This is the court, not the street! You are all the pillars of the Ming Dynasty, not the streets! ”

Emperor Jingtai vented for a moment and sat down again.

And Yu Qian, the secretary of the military department, stepped forward and saluted and said, "Your Majesty! The imperial court has its own law, and both civil and military affairs have responsibilities, and now the Chinese officials of the dynasty want to break the law and seize power, please ask Your Majesty to decide! ”

The civil officials were just about to speak to denounce it, but they heard Emperor Jingtai say: "Although Zhong Aiqing's words are fierce, his thoughts are also for the country!" I have my own opinion on this matter! ”

Hearing this, Yu Qian suddenly secretly screamed in his heart, and the civil officials were happy in their hearts.

At this time, Shi Heng, the governor of the right capital, Cao Jixiang, the eunuch of the division, and Xu Youzhen, the superintendent of the imperial history, were all shocked.

Although the three of them all wanted to use this big discussion between the government and the opposition to rectify Yu Qian, the secretary of the military department, and Liu Juntao, the chief military officer of Yanzhou Town, they never thought that they would let the civilian clique win completely, even Xu Youzhen, who was a civilian official.

After all, the three of them and the civilian clique are not the same number, if the civilian clique really controls the military power, then the three of them will definitely have to suffer a lot in the future.

So, Shi Heng and Xu Youzhen thought about whether to speak and say something, at least echoing Yu Qian, the secretary of the Ministry of War.

And Cao Jixiang also looked at Emperor Jingtai frequently, thinking about whether to advise him.

At this moment, I only heard Emperor Jingtai say: "The cause of this big discussion between the government and the opposition is the dispute between Liu Juntao, the chief military officer of Yanzhou Town, and the big businessman of Nanzhili. ”

Hearing this, everyone in the hall was a little confused, and for a while they couldn't figure out which end Emperor Jingtai was standing on.

"Then why did Liu Juntao, the chief military officer of Yanzhou Town, have a conflict with the merchants of Nanzhili? In my opinion, the authority of local officials is too small to coordinate the affairs of the military town! Therefore, I decided to increase the authority of the governors of the provinces, and to give forty percent of the money and food supply of the battalions in various places, and put them in the hands of the governors of the provinces; At the same time, the governors of each province have the responsibility to supervise the battalions and military towns of the province, but they have no power to mobilize and command them! ”

Hearing this, everyone understood that Emperor Jingtai had divided the money and grain in the military power of the military attache into two and handed it over to the civilian officials.

At the same time, it also allows the responsibility of civilian officials to supervise military attachés!

At this moment, the civil officials in the main hall stopped talking, and everyone's faces were filled with the joy of victory.

Although this result is still far from what the civil officials thought in their hearts, it can be regarded as a good start, and everything is not achieved quickly, so dozens of civil officials have received orders.

And Yu Qian, the secretary of the military department, and the military attachés were frowning and unwilling, Yu Qian wanted to step forward to argue a thing or two, but he was glared at by Emperor Jingtai and stopped it stiffly!

Shi Heng, the right governor next to him, also saw this scene, and understood that this move must have been planned by Emperor Jingtai a long time ago, and there was no room for maneuver, so he didn't say anything.

Then, the civil officials in the court had to inch in, and they all appealed to Emperor Jingtai and asked for severe punishment of Liu Juntao, the chief military officer of Yanzhou Town.

Who knew that Emperor Jingtai was furious and said: "General Liu and those merchants of Nanzhili are just commercial disputes, what does it have to do with the government!" This is a civil matter, and courtiers are not allowed to interfere! ”

Those civil officials were stunned when they heard this, but Yu Qian understood something, so he once again showed the evidence of the illegal actions of those Nanzhili bigwigs, and asked the court to punish them severely.

Emperor Jingtai said in a deep voice: "Such fanatics are in trouble, and they are innocent!" Spread my will: The Nanjing Zhenfu Division will immediately arrest and severely punish all of them! ”

After finishing speaking, Emperor Jingtai ignored the reactions of the courtiers and waved his hand directly to the eunuchs beside him.

"Your Majesty has a will: retreat from the dynasty!"

Yu Qian returned home with a heavy heart, and before he had time to rest, he wrote down everything that had happened in the morning, and then sent someone to Yanzhou Mansion City.

At this time, Liu Juntao also got the news sent back by the Investigation Department at the same time, and learned that Emperor Jingtai still increased the authority of civil officials, divided part of the money and grain rights of military generals, and also increased the supervision power of provincial governors, and he was also indignant.

Lan Siqi said worriedly: "General Town, our Yushan Town has a lot of money and grain, even if part of the army's money and grain authority is divided, the impact on our Yanzhou Town is not very great. But in this way, Li Chengming, the governor of Shandong, is very likely to find trouble with us! We have to deal with it carefully, and we have to think about it in advance! ”

Liu Juntao also nodded and said: "Immediately notify all the workshops in Yushan Town, and inform the Yushan Town Military Bureau, Xuzhou Military Bureau, and Dongpingzhou Ordnance Institute to be careful and strictly guard against foreign spies!" ”

Lan Siqi also wrote them down one by one.

Then, Liu Juntao said: "Tell Tang Yu that within ten days, give me the Yu family, the Tian family, and the Cao family!" ”
