Jingtai in August of the third year.

Liu Juntao had already made all the preparations for going south to return to Shandong, and at this time, the drills and reorganization of the various units of the Gyeonggi garrison were basically coming to an end.

At this time, Liu Juntao inspected the various departments of the Gyeonggi garrison for the last time, and was basically satisfied with the drills of each department, and wrote down the situation of this inspection into a notebook, and reported it to Yu Qian, the secretary of the military department, together with the summary he had written.

Yu Qian received Liu Juntao's recital, but he didn't pay too much attention to it, and at this time Yu Qian had no mind to focus on the reorganization of the Gyeonggi garrison.

At this time, above the court, the matter of abolishing the prince has basically been put on the surface, and the right governor Shi Heng and others saw that Emperor Jingtai had begun to deal with the prince Zhu Jianshen, so they directly wrote to protect the prince and made the matter public, hoping to make Emperor Jingtai have scruples.

But to everyone's surprise, Emperor Jingtai had already made up his mind, and he was determined to abolish the crown prince Zhu Jianshen, ignoring the opposition of the ministers of the court and the central government, and even abolished the queen who also opposed the abolition of the crown prince and sent it to the cold palace, which shocked everyone!

Yu Qian was also worried under such circumstances, and he was at a loss for a while.

After Liu Juntao inquired, he was also embarrassed, he has developed to the present after crossing over, and has begun to affect the trend of history, but he didn't expect that the inertia of historical development is still the same, and what should happen will still happen, just sooner or later!

In this regard, although Liu Juntao is also worried, he is more prepared to protect himself, since the general trend of history is irresistible, it is necessary to be alone to the greatest extent to avoid being affected.

In this regard, Liu Juntao and Yu Qian are completely different.

Yu Qian is trying to avoid the dispute between the crown prince and the court; And Liu Juntao chose to preserve his strength and conform to the trend of history, in order to have a future effect!

A few days later, above the early dynasty, several imperial historians openly wrote a book, advocating that the crown prince Zhu Jianshen was "unvirtuous" and "hedonistic and greedy", and that he should not inherit the unification, and should depose the prince and establish the prince Zhu Jianqi as the prince of the East Palace!

As soon as this proposal came out, the government and the opposition suddenly boiled.

Yu Qian, the secretary of the military department, immediately reprimanded several people, and Shi Heng, the governor of the right capital, was also extremely rare to support Yu Qian and oppose the abolition of the crown prince.

However, the first assistant of the cabinet, Chen Xun, and other officials of civilian power were divided into two factions, supporting the two plans of protecting the prince and abolishing the prince respectively.

Shi Heng and Yu Qian understand that this is a bet on the civilian forces, and they are ready to support both sides, so as not to be hit in the battle for imperial power!

Emperor Jingtai looked at the courtiers who were arguing constantly, and his face was always expressionless, but his eyes were full of excitement.

After a while, the quarrel in the court still did not stop, and even intensified, most of the courtiers were involved, everyone was divided into two factions to quarrel loudly, and even some imperial historians rushed forward with great excitement, and scuffled with colleagues with different political views!

Emperor Jingtai still didn't stop it when he saw this, and even the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

At this time, Emperor Jingtai looked at the chaotic court, which people opposed him, which people supported him, and which people belonged to the wall, and Emperor Jingtai basically had an answer in his heart.

After a while, Emperor Jingtai waved his hand, and the eunuch next to him shouted loudly: "Silence! Quiet! ”

When all the courtiers heard this, they all stopped one after another and looked at Emperor Jingtai one after another.

For a while, there was silence in the court, and everyone was waiting for Emperor Jingtai's speech.

Shi Heng, the right capital governor, took a step forward and said loudly: "Your Majesty! The proposal of abolishing the crown prince is absolutely impossible, and I hope Your Majesty will think twice! ”

Emperor Jingtai looked at Shi Heng, stared at it for a while, and then said expressionlessly: "The recital of the prince abolished by Aiqing is quasi-played!" ”

After speaking, Emperor Jingtai didn't care about the reaction of the courtiers, and directly got up and left the main hall.

Yu Qian closed his eyes in pain, sighed and turned away.

Shi Heng, Xu Youzhen and the others all looked solemn, and their faces were very ugly.

The courtiers who supported the abolition of the crown prince were smiling, and everyone left the hall in whispers.

At this time, Chen Xun, the first assistant of the cabinet, looked at everyone and said in a deep voice: "This proposal has been decided, please go back!" ”

After speaking, Chen Xun also left.

The next day, Emperor Jingtai issued a holy decree: abolish the crown prince Zhu Jianshen, demote to the king of Yi, and leave Beijing within one month! Set up the prince Zhu Jianqi as the crown prince, and immediately prepare to canonize the palace!

This holy decree immediately aroused the opposition of most of the courtiers in the court, and even some ministers gathered outside the palace gate and loudly reprimanded Emperor Jingtai for "greedy for imperial power" and "ulterior motives".

Emperor Jingtai's inquiry was also angry, and he ordered these courtiers to be punished with twenty rods, and three old and frail ministers were beaten to death on the same day!

At this time, the entire court was blown up, and even the courtiers who originally belonged to the centrist faction began to oppose the proposal of abolishing the prince at this time, and Shi Heng, the governor of the right capital, gathered hundreds of ministers and publicly wrote again, trying to protect the position of the prince Zhu Jianshen.

When Liu Juntao heard the news, he also wrote a letter together, trying to protect the prince Zhu Jianshen, and declared: "The crown prince's position is the foundation of the country, how can it be abolished in an instant?" Your Majesty should put the country first and the society first! ”

However, after these folds were submitted, they were all lost in the sea, and there was no news.

On the contrary, Zhu Jianshen, who had been demoted to the king of Yi, was forced to leave the capital, and the canonization hall of the new prince was in full swing.

Liu Juntao heard that Zhu Jianshen had left the capital, and was worried that Zhu Jianshen would encounter an accident on the road, after all, the general trend of history has not changed at this time, but who can guarantee that the trend of history will not change suddenly?

So, Liu Juntao immediately mobilized three hundred heavily armored iron horsemen to chase after him, escorting Zhu Jianshen all the way to the fiefdom.

At this time, the entire court was in turmoil, and the battle for the storage position had become a fuse, completely tearing the court in half, and the two sides began a fierce confrontation.

Emperor Jingtai saw that the opposition of the court and the central government was overwhelming, even if he had already issued an order, Zhu Jianshen had been forced to leave Beijing, and the opposition of the court and the central government had not weakened for a minute, and he couldn't help but be annoyed.

So, Emperor Jingtai ignored the opposition of the courtiers and forcibly issued an order to appoint the biological mother of the new prince Zhu Jianqi as the queen, which suddenly brought the controversy between the court and the court to a climax!

During this period, Yu Qian, the secretary of the military department, did not argue anymore, because Yu Qian believed that the matter had come to this point and there was no room for maneuver.

Therefore, Yu Qian began to focus on the Gyeonggi garrison again, at least to ensure that the turmoil in the government and the opposition would not expand this time, and it would be limited to the court, and it must not spread to the Gyeonggi garrison!

However, Yu Qian looked at the fierce quarrels of the ministers in the court and the resolute attitude of Emperor Jingtai, and couldn't help but sigh, knowing that his efforts to check and balance the government had completely failed.

Thinking of this, Yu Qian couldn't help but feel sad.

Fengtai Daying.

At this time, half a month has passed since Zhu Jianshen, the king of Yi, left Beijing, and Liu Juntao received the news that Zhu Jianshen had arrived at the fiefdom, and the three hundred heavily armored iron cavalry sent was on the way back.

Hearing this news, Liu Juntao breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, the historical trend did not deviate too much.

For Zhu Jianshen, Liu Juntao still has a good impression in his heart, Zhu Jianshen is the Ming Xianzong and Chenghua Emperor of later generations.

Not to mention anything else, Emperor Chenghua is very tough on the outside, and knows people well, the Ming Dynasty has achieved great development in its hands, and after the defeat of the civil fort, the national strength of the Ming Dynasty recovered quickly.

The most important point is that during the reign of Emperor Chenghua, he used troops against the Jianzhou Jurchens twice, and these two expeditions almost completely wiped out the Jianzhou Jurchens, known as the "Chenghua Plough Court" in history!

It is because of this that Liu Juntao has a good impression of Zhu Jianshen, and at the same time regrets that if the ancestors of wild boar skin are exterminated in the Chenghua years, maybe there will be no tragedy of Shenzhou Huaxia sinking again in later generations!

A few days later, Liu Juntao received a message from Hu Dexing, deputy chief soldier, that all the talents brought back by Liu Zi'an, minister of intelligence, and Tang Yu, minister of commerce, had been distributed.

However, Hu Dexing was also worried in the letter that the various talents needed by Shandong Town could not always be guaranteed by recruiting from all over the place, so that they would always be subject to others, and the quantity and quality of talents could not be guaranteed, and it was better to think of a solution once and for all.

Liu Juntao was also thoughtful when he saw this, and then said to himself: "It seems that Shandong Town is going to start developing compulsory education!" ”

Thinking of this, Liu Juntao prepared to set up a college in Shandong Guang and began to cultivate talents from all walks of life for his own use!

Of course, these are all later words, at least until Liu Juntao finishes the matter in the capital and returns to Shandong before he can start handling it.
