Chapter 406: The undercurrent is turbulent

In the past, Zhang Weixian once told Ye Xun that Jingying is a bottomless pit, although he has the intention to rectify, but there are too many involved, and he does not dare to move it easily as a British prince for generations, let alone others.

But Ye Xun just didn't take the usual path, he used the elite of the Liaodong Army to force the commander of the Beijing battalion to hand over the military power, and then according to his own will, he began a drastic reform.

Zhang Weixian was very angry and helpless on the surface, but in fact, he agreed with Ye Xun's approach very much, and in the end, no matter who went to him, he pretended to be deaf and dumb, and never participated in anything in the Beijing camp again.

The old prince is silent, which does not mean that other people can bear it, because the interests of the army are too great, empty amounts, empty salaries, land, ordnance, etc., which does not require the court to spend a lot of silver taels?

Before Ye Xun, these silver taels were divided proportionally by the major families, but now it's good, after Ye Xun took over the Beijing camp, there is nothing, how can this not make these nobles angry?

The meeting was convened by Zhao Nanqi, and in addition to Xiangcheng Hou and Hou Ying, there were also Zhao Ying, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and several other noble relatives.

The lights in the chamber are a little dim, which is just right for studying something unseemly.

"Rank, the thief's knife has reached the neck, if we don't react, I'm afraid no one will have good fruit to eat"

The name of the speaker is Zhang Minglu, and the title is also the marquis, and he is a relative of the old lady of Wanli.

Zhao Nanqi's eyes fell on the Shangshu of the Ministry of Works, spreading rumors and writing secret letters to the officials of various feudal realms, all of which were his ideas, but it turned out that the effect of this was not great.

Feeling the gaze of the marquis of his family, Zhao Ying was also a little embarrassed, he originally thought that the eunuchs would be unpopular, as long as they ascended and shouted, they would react in groups, but now it seems that he is really a little too taken for granted.

How can you say that the reader is thick-skinned, although he is embarrassed in his heart, he does not show the slightest expression on his face.

"Everyone, there is a saying that if you want to take it first, you must give it first, look at the posture of the eunuch, is to coerce the achievements of Liaodong and the grassland, and arbitrarily interfere in the government affairs, then we might as well do as he wishes, and ask the cabinet to clear the land of the whole country in advance, and at the same time give the eunuch the title of honor."

Listening to Zhao Ying's words, the brows of several nobles and relatives suddenly wrinkled, and it was understandable to give Ye Xun the honorific title, after all, the merits of the people were there, but what does it mean to clear the land? Could it be that Ye Xun didn't clean up completely enough?

Hou Ying understood what Zhao Ying meant, slapped his face, and praised: "Good idea, first hold the eunuch thief high, and then find someone to persuade him to attack the land, you must know those vassal kings outside, who is not a good land, what is the difference between the eunuch's move and asking for their lives?" ”

Hou Ying's explanation, everyone else also understood, in fact, in the past, Hou Ying and Zhao Nanqi and others still had a good impression of Ye Xun, but everything has to have a premise, right? Ye Xun moved their cheese, no matter how pleasing it is!

Zhao Nanqi, who hadn't spoken for a long time, finally nodded and said, "Find a substitute for the dead ghost in the Yushitai, let him write to His Majesty, and seal the eunuch as the king of Liaodong."

Speaking of the emperor, Zhang Minglu couldn't help but say: "I said everyone, do you think Your Majesty has let the eunuchs harm?" It's been so long, what kind of illness should be cured, right? ”

Zhao Nan nodded and continued: "Mobilize some clans to make trouble outside the palace, just say that you must meet Your Majesty"

According to the ancestral system, the king of the Ming Dynasty is not allowed to stay in Beijing, but it does not mean that all the relatives of the Zhu family have been driven out of Beijing.

It's just that Zhao Nanqi's idea is really not very clever, because these so-called relatives don't have any power at all, and when they arrived at the palace gate, they were directly driven back by Jinyiwei.

The emperor needs to recuperate, so he has time to take care of you?

Qianqing Palace, cabinet courtroom.

Yang Sichang looked at the fold that had just been inherited, and the two thick eyebrows couldn't help frowning together.

The fold is written by a royal history named Ding Feng in the Inspectorate.,Ding Feng is a very ordinary official.,Although the position is the imperial history.,But it's rarely like other imperial histories to bite others indiscriminately.,But I don't know how to jump out this time?

What puzzled Yang Sichang the most was the content of the fold, because this was an excerpt for Ye Xun.

Ye Xun's merits don't need to be recounted, and it is normal to be rewarded, but if you want to say that you are directly named the king of Liaodong, you have to think of the things behind this excerpt, because Ye Xun has long made it clear that he will not be the king of Liaodong.

The cabinet is not a hall of words, during the days when Ye Xun was not in Beijing, several cabinet members cooperated very well, and under their drive, the efficiency of the Ming court has also been greatly improved.

After the little eunuch who was ordered to wait showed the excerpt to several other people in turn, Yang Sichang said, "What are your opinions?" ”

Yuan Yingtai snorted coldly and said: "This is obviously to roast Ye Gonggong on the fire, and I want my father-in-law to become the public enemy of the world, so I don't need to pay attention to him."

Wang Yin frowned and said, "But Gonggong Ye's merits are there, if the court says nothing, won't it make the people of the world cold?" ”

"What Lord Wang said is reasonable, although there is a different surname of the ancestral system and cannot be crowned king, but it also depends on the situation, right? Ye Gong fairly set Liaodong, but he had the merit of destroying the country, and built a Xiongcheng in Mongolia, which can be called the expansion of the territory for my Ming Dynasty. ”

Zhao Ying said with an indignant face, if he didn't know, he would definitely think that he was Ye Xun's iron buddy, this was fighting for his buddy!

Zhang Quan watched coldly, although these two people were respectful to Ye Gonggong on weekdays, Zhang Quan always felt that something was wrong.

The title of king involves the court etiquette system, and Yuan Keli had to speak.

Coughed dryly, and said: "Gonggong Ye has indeed made great contributions to the court, but as soon as the king says it, it is not advisable, and if it violates the etiquette system, it will also cause a lot of trouble to Gonggong Ye, the old man thinks that it is better to ask for the opinion of Gonggong Ye on this matter!" Let's see what Grandpa Ye thinks."

Fang Zhenru also nodded and said: "Lord Yuan's words are reasonable, it is really inappropriate to say that the king is sealed, but the reward is also necessary, and it can't be cold to Gonggong Ye's heart, but how to reward it must be carefully considered."

Zhao Ying saw that among the seven members of the cabinet, there were already five people who did not agree with Ye Xun to be crowned king, and he couldn't help but curse in his heart, these old immortals, what benefits did Ye Xun give you, let you maintain him everywhere like this?

Just about to open his mouth to speak, he suddenly heard a sharp voice from a eunuch outside the door: "Enlighten a few adults, the queen mother issued a decree after asking Your Majesty, please ask a few adults to accept the order"

The queen actually sent her will to the cabinet? What's going on?

The bigwigs in the cabinet couldn't help but look at each other, and after receiving the will, everyone couldn't help but be even more confused.

But it turned out that the queen knew that the imperial court was financially tight, and took the initiative to ask for a reduction in the palace, stop all celebrations, and no longer draft girls to enter the palace
