In the imperial study, after Ling Yu left, Yucheng walked in silently and handed the report in his hand to Zhou Zhengxiong, Zhou Zhengxiong looked at the report in his hand, his face became more and more ugly, and the good mood just now turned into nothing in an instant.

"Yucheng, send a decree to invite Song Aiqing, Lian Aiqing and Zhai Aiqing to enter the palace to discuss matters." Zhou Zhengxiong endured his anger and said with a gloomy face.

Seeing that the emperor's face was gloomy, Yu Cheng didn't dare to say much, so he hurriedly went out to deliver the decree.

After a short time, Song Qian, Lian Wei, and Zhai Qiande came together, and after the salute, they saw that the emperor did not speak with a gloomy face, and several adults were silent waiting for the emperor to speak first, after all, they had just arrived, and they didn't know what was going on.

"Ladies and gentlemen, take a look." As he spoke, he asked Yucheng to take the newspaper to Song Qian and others to circulate it, and several adults also became more and more frightened the more they looked at it, and the more they looked at it, the more angry they became, what the Zhao family did could be said to be a rebellion, and everyone began to scold the Zhao family with righteous indignation.

"Your Majesty, this matter must not be spared, in the long run, it will definitely boost their arrogance, but also do not act rashly, the Beijing army's training has not yet been completed, and its combat effectiveness is still inferior to that of the border army, if you do it against them now, it will easily cause turmoil in the world." Song Qian took a deep breath and calmed down his mood and said, although he is a staunch uncompromising faction and has always advocated thunder methods to deal with the problems of the family, but as the situation changes, he has no choice but to adopt some relatively less drastic methods, trying to be fully prepared before using the sword army, and now it is only limited to the battle above the court.

"What Elder Song Ge said is very true, the minister thinks that Lord Ling should be allowed to use the method of retraining the new military camp to start the training of the five armies in the capital as soon as possible, as long as one army is reorganized and redressed, according to the combat effectiveness of the new military camp, Your Majesty will no longer have to worry about this." Zhai Qiande said, he is the secretary of the military department, and he naturally saw Ling Yu's battle report, and he also has a relatively deep understanding of the battle in the new military camp.

"Your Majesty, the ministers will do their best to ensure the training of the new army, and now the autumn grain is gradually entering the warehouse, and the imperial court's income is gradually abundant, so it is a good time for formal large-scale training." Lian Wei Dao.

Zhou Zhengxiong listened to the words of several confidant ministers, his heart was a little relieved, and he glanced at the three of them and said: "The words of the three Aiqing are old Cheng Mouguo, I have just ordered Ling Yu to prepare to start the training of the guards, and I originally wanted to gradually rectify the training, but now it seems that it has to be accelerated, and some fleas in the second department should be cleaned up, and for the time being, it can only be punished so little." ”

Zhou Zhengxiong stopped as he spoke, looked at Yucheng and said: "Yucheng, sort out some evidence collected by the Internal Guard Mansion about some Lang officials in the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Households, and hand it over to the Supervision Yuan. ”

After speaking, Zhou Zhengxiong turned his head to the three henchmen and said: "Tomorrow morning, in addition to cleaning up the fleas, I will also set up a training envoy tomorrow to oversee the training of the five armies in the capital, and Ling Yu will be in charge. ”

After explaining some things, Zhou Zhengxiong asked them to go back, and then asked Yucheng to send someone to inform Ling Yu to go to court tomorrow.

Ling Yu didn't know that these things happened later, at this time he returned home in a happy mood, and told Zhou Ling that today's marriage proposal was successful, and finally fulfilled his long-cherished wish, Zhou Ling cried with joy, and Ling Yu had to comfort her with Xinyue.

Because the matter has been decided, so Zhou Ling can no longer stay in the Ling Mansion before getting married, this is the rule, so he had to reluctantly go back, Ling Yu was also idle, he was going to give Zhou Ling a ride, as a result, the person sent by Yucheng to send the order arrived again, Ling Yu was a little stunned when he learned that the emperor asked him to go to the court tomorrow, but then he figured it out, I am afraid that the emperor will officially put forward the matter of training the Beijing army in the court, he can also think of how fierce the opposition of the two families will be, after all, the last war has been so long, Everyone who should know knows it, and they definitely don't want to see the Beijing army become so strong.

Thinking about these things, Ling Yu asked about the design progress of the Little Spirit Spiritual Energy Agricultural Machinery, and then began to think about how to deal with it tomorrow.

There was nothing to say all night, and on the second day, under the service of Xinyue, he put on his court clothes, and then went to the palace in a carriage.

Unlike the first time he went to court, this time there were obviously more people who greeted him, and naturally there were more enemies, and he was faintly divided into a faction headed by Shoufu Song Qian and a faction headed by Zhao Zhengkang, while the other neutral factions were looser and had no obvious leaders.

Ling Yu saw that Song Qian was smiling and greeting people he was familiar with, so he stepped forward and said, "Xiaguan has seen Song Ge Lao. ”

"Lord Ling, don't be polite, Lord Ling is young and promising, the old man is not as capable as Lord Ling when he is his age." Song Qian also smiled gently, as an emperor's person, how much he valued Ling Yu in the way of nature, he was naturally attributed to being in the same faction as him, and he was also very happy to promote such a junior.

Seeing that Song Qian was so polite to Ling Yu, the officials on the side naturally understood, so they came up one after another to greet and salute, and Ling Yu was polite and polite in return. Line

On the other side, the officials led by Zhao Zhengkang looked at Ling Yu coldly and greeted them without saying a word, so many things have happened recently, which makes them feel that the mountain rain is about to come and the wind is full of buildings.

Zhao Zhengkang also had a gloomy face, looking at Ling Yu's eyes flashed a trace of fierceness, it was difficult to calm down in his heart, Zhao Ritian's layout for so many years actually let this kid break one of the points, which made Zhao Ritian have to reconsider, although he also hated Beihu for dropping the chain at a critical time, but Beihu was so far away, he couldn't see it, so the double hatred was superimposed on Ling Yu, if his eyes could really kill, Ling Yu would probably be killed by Zhao Zhengkang countless times.

Ling Yu also inadvertently found that Zhao Zhengkang was watching him, but he didn't care at all, he couldn't beat him even if he sent an army, could the Zhao family still be there, this is the capital, dare to send an army, that is, pull the flag and rebel, although the court is not ready, but the Zhao family is also not ready, the situation that the Zhao family has to face in rebellion is much more complicated than the imperial court, in addition to dealing with the imperial army, they also have to deal with all kinds of forces, and the imperial court to quell the rebellion is justifiable, the Great Zhou Dynasty has been established by Taizu for hundreds of years, and its prestige has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, In addition to the hardcore, there are inevitably not as many people who are willing to rebel as the Zhao family.

Both sides speculated with their own ghosts, and soon a eunuch came out to announce that the ministers would enter the Golden Palace, and then after some early court etiquette, Zhou Zhengxiong glanced at Song Qian and motioned for him to come and start.

"Your Majesty, a few days ago, Qin sent Ling Yu to the vicinity of Kaifeng Mansion to deal with the floods, but I didn't want to meet the bandits who wanted to do wrong, but they were wiped out by the soldiers of the new military camp trained by Lord Ling, in view of this, the minister asked His Majesty to issue an order to set up a training envoy to oversee the training of the five armies in the capital. Song Qian understood, so he came out of the line.

As soon as these words came out, the people on Song Qian's side were fine, but the people on Zhao Zhengkang's side were in an uproar, and they wanted to speak out to stop them, Zhao Zhengkang saw this, so he came out and said: "Your Majesty can't, soldiers, the country's major affairs, Lord Ling is just a new army that has trained hundreds of people, it can't mean that he can be competent for tens of thousands of people or even hundreds of thousands of people's training work, the minister thinks that His Majesty can let Lord Ling expand some of the scale of the training, but not too big." Zhao Zhengkang knew that he couldn't stop the emperor from training the five armies in the capital, so he had to retreat and drag down his hind legs, so that his progress would be slower, so that the Zhao family could be more prepared.

"Lord Zhao's words are different, this official has also inspected the new army trained by Lord Ling, and the guards have also sent people to train in rotation before, and the effect is outstanding, and this officer does not think that Lord Ling is not competent for the work of reorganizing the army." Zhai Qiande, the secretary of the military department, retorted that this was not entirely because of his position, but mainly because as the secretary of the military department, he had indeed inspected the training of the New Army and the rotation training of the Guards several times, and he also thought that this was good.

"Lord Zhai, what you said is easy, but as far as the lower officials know, the salary of the new army is very high, and the large-scale training, do you think the treasury can afford it?" Huang Jianren, the left waiter of the household department, also spoke.

"Huang Shilang, my Hubu Shangshu hasn't spoken yet, how do you know that the treasury can't afford it?" Lian Wei saw that Huang Jianren took the initiative to run out as a gun, and his face darkened, although he knew that he was from the Qian family, but others were afraid that he was not strict with his subordinates, and Shangguan did not speak, but Xiaguan spoke first.

Sure enough, the ministers on Zhao Zhengkang's side all looked at Lian Wei playfully, Lian Wei's face became even darker, and he wanted to reprimand Huang Jianren harshly, but he thought that this was in the Golden Palace, and he had to hold back.

The emperor looked at the ministers below with an expressionless face and quarreled with each other, and after looking at it for a while, he glanced at Yucheng without a trace, and saw that Yucheng nodded slightly, so he calmed down, and Yucheng was still relieved to do things.

Sure enough, when the two sides were arguing, Zheng Zhen, the imperial history of the left capital, walked out tremblingly and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister wants to impeach Huang Jianren, the left waiter of the household department, Ye Ping, the left waiter of the Ministry of Industry, and Zhao Jian, the right waiter of the military department. After speaking, he raised his hand and waited for the emperor to send someone to take it, he was an old minister who had gone through two emperors, he was upright, and he never attached himself to any faction.

Zhou Zhengxiong didn't let him wait longer, and immediately motioned for Yucheng to take over the song, and then opened it to read, although he already knew these things, but at this time, he naturally had to pretend to be extremely angry.

"Huang Jianren, Ye Ping, Zhao Jian, I treat the three of you well, you can still do such a thing, where do you put me, the court, and the society?" Zhou Zhengxiong pretended to be extremely angry.

When the three of them heard this, they were so frightened that they immediately knelt down, they were like Zhao Zhengkang and the likes of Shangshutang officials, it was easy for the emperor to kill them, and at this time they only kept asking the emperor for forgiveness.

Zhou Zhengxiong took a deep breath and said: "The Criminal Department, Dali Temple, and the Supervision Yuan will jointly try this case, and if the evidence is conclusive, it will not be tolerated." After saying that, he sat there with a calm face.

"The ministers obey." Qian Xunyan, the secretary of the Criminal Department, Lu Jianguo, the secretary of Dali Temple, and Zheng Zhen, the imperial history of Zuodu, bowed down to receive the order.

Of course, Zhao Zhengkang and the others understood that the emperor was doing this in retaliation for what they had done before, but they couldn't do anything about it, although they knew that the emperor didn't dare to touch them for the time being, but they didn't have a better way to move other subordinate personnel.

Qian Xunyan was also very depressed at this time, but it would be better if this matter was handled by his criminal department, and the two old immortals of Dali Siqing and Zuo Du Yushi joined in to do it together, so he couldn't even make small moves, so he had to look at Zhao Zhengkang apologetically.

Zhao Zhengkang understood what Qian Xunyan meant, and now he could only give up these people, after all, now that Zhao Ritian has not yet completed the Dao preparations to launch, he had to endure the loss of some pawns, so he glanced back at Qian Xunyan and signaled him to do what the emperor wanted.
