It was already very late at night, and Emperor Longwu was still reviewing the chapters under the lamp, and Empress Zeng was helping by the side.

The imperial court has just been rebuilt, there are thousands of things, everything is troublesome, and all the big and small things have to be summarized to Emperor Longwu, waiting for him to make a decision. It was a very hard job to review the recitals every day, and Empress Zeng was known for her talent, and Emperor Longwu let her participate in foreign affairs very early.

All the passages were first reviewed by Empress Zeng, summarizing the central idea and summarizing the general idea of the paragraph, which was much more convenient for Emperor Longwu to read, and Empress Zeng sometimes wrote down her own opinions, which Emperor Longwu often readily adopted.

The rules of the Ming Dynasty are now chaotic, and Emperor Longwu has no available people around him, so he simply opened a husband-and-wife shop with Empress Zeng.

"Old slave Pang Tianshou, meet Long Live Lord!"

With an announcement outside the door, Pang Tianshou walked in, knelt down and saluted Emperor Longwu and his wife, stood up and glanced at the table, and immediately shouted.

"Your Majesty, why haven't you eaten yet? This is unacceptable! ”

There were two pairs of dishes and chopsticks on the table, and a few side dishes, which were the dinner of Emperor Longwu and his wife, but they had been put for a long time, and there was no heat, Pang Tianshou turned around and wanted to order someone to make it again, but Emperor Longwu stopped him.

"Hey, in the weather of Guangzhou, it doesn't matter if it's cold, just eat like this."

Emperor Longwu and his wife sat down to eat, Pang Tianshou stood on the side, Emperor Longwu looked at him and smiled, stretched out his chopsticks and nodded to the stool next to him, signaling for a seat.

"Long live the Lord and the mother are here, the old slave doesn't dare to be rude!" Pang Tianshou hurriedly thanked him, but he still stood and didn't dare to sit, and he was startled in his heart. The eunuch is the emperor's domestic slave, no matter how powerful he is, some treatment is still different, it is normal for the emperor to give a seat to civil officials, how can there be a seat for a eunuch?

"Pang Tianshou. Wang Kun is coming back, you know? Emperor Longwu suddenly asked.

"Oh, the old slave doesn't know." Pang Tianshou's heart jumped violently, Wang Kun is also the chief eunuch in the palace, he went to Guilin on an errand a few days ago, but he didn't expect to come back so soon.

"There is no one in my palace, you have worked hard these days, when Wang Kun comes back, you can help him re-prop up the celebrant supervisor, can you do it well?"

"The old slave must do his best!" Pang Tianshou knelt down again. kowtowed heavily, but his heart was like knocking over a five-flavor bottle, and he was aggrieved and disappointed, and he couldn't say what he tasted.

Pang Tianshou is the eunuch of the celebrant eunuch. It was only one step away from the highest palm print eunuch, and the great eunuchs around Emperor Longwu were basically gone. He had a monopoly on power in the palace. These days have been full and happy, thinking that the palm print eunuch is already in the bag, but unexpectedly, listening to Emperor Longwu's meaning, this position is still for Wang Kun!

"One more thing, I have decided to move to Guilin, so there is no need to repair the palace here in Guangzhou. Let's all stop. ”

With the orders of Emperor Longwu, Pang Tianshou retreated resignedly, and when he came to the courtyard, he was still depressed, and the greater his hope. The greater the disappointment, the more dizzy the blow bewildered...... Which errand was broken, and why did he suddenly lose his favor?

Emperor Longwu was in a good mood, his appetite was good, and a bowl of rice was not enough, so Empress Zeng personally added rice to him and sent it to him.

"Your Majesty, Pang Tianshou is an old man in the palace, looking at his appearance, it's pitiful."

"A woman's kindness."

Although Emperor Longwu was reprimanding, his tone was not harsh, and he explained with a smile: "Pang Tianshou is old, why bother putting him on the cusp again, I also love him." ”

There is a need for compromise between the emperor and civil officials, but the eunuchs can be deployed at will, Pang Tianshou should serve as the eunuch of the palm seal, but Emperor Longwu has other considerations.

After he ascended the throne in Fujian, he was subject to the Zheng Zhilong brothers and the Donglin Party, and was nominally the emperor, but in fact he was not much better than a puppet. The Zheng Zhilong brothers are arrogant and domineering, the Donglin Party is not good at stubble, and Emperor Longwu is struggling, so he will vigorously promote He Wusu and other southern factions to restrain the power of the Donglin Party, but it has not achieved much success.

After the Fujian Incident, there was a big reshuffle in the imperial court.

The Donglin Party suffered heavy losses in the Fujian Incident, and the southern faction could match it, coupled with the balance of Wang Kefan's faction, several factions fought each other, and fought over various issues, and finally had to be made by Emperor Longwu, and the imperial power was getting bigger and bigger invisibly, and Emperor Longwu finally realized the joy of being an emperor.

But it was not enough, Emperor Longwu felt that the imperial power was still too small, and the power of the civil and military officials was still too great, if it were not for the civil and military officials fighting each other, he, the emperor, would still be a puppet, and in order to solve this problem, it was necessary to use the emperor's domestic slave - the eunuch.

First set up the shelf of the celebrant supervisor, use the "internal minister" to restrain the civil and military officials, and then restore the institutions such as the Jinyi Guard in the next step, so as to truly control the court situation. In this process, the selection of the eunuch in charge of the seal is very important, not only to be capable, but also to serve the emperor wholeheartedly.

Pang Tianshou's qualifications are old, and his ability is not bad, he was originally the best candidate for the eunuch of the palm seal, but he firmly believed in Catholicism and had many contacts with civil and military officials in the court, and he committed the taboo of Emperor Longwu.

When handling the case of Ding Kuichu, Emperor Longwu faintly heard the rumors, Pang Tianshou and Wang Kefan's faction had a connection, with the Gongyi camp leaving Guangdong, Pang Tianshou suddenly changed his court, and the Donglin Party and the southern faction are very close, if he is put in charge of the eunuch of Zhangyin, the eunuch and the cabinet are complicit, Emperor Longwu is lifting a stone to shoot himself in the foot.

In his opinion, this is not only an unstable factor, but also shows that Pang Tianshou is not mature enough in politics and may not be able to compete with the bigwigs in the cabinet......

Emperor Longwu and Empress Zeng had dinner, and the two continued to review the chapters and chat a few words from time to time.

"The concubine just heard from His Majesty that the matter of moving to Guilin has finally been decided?" Empress Zeng asked suddenly.

"Yes, today's court meeting has just been decided, hehehe, He Wufu suddenly seconded Wang Kefan, but unfortunately you didn't see it, Lu Daqi's face turned black with anger...... "When it comes to moving Guilin, Emperor Longwu is even happier."

For him, sitting on the throne of the emperor is a first-class event, no less important than fighting against the Manchu Qing, Gui King Zhu Youlang noble blood, has always been a huge threat, after he went to Guilin, Zhu Youlang casually drove to Nanning or something, and Zhai Shiyun and others cut off contact, can completely solve this hidden danger.

Moreover, he has the ambition to prosper the Ming Dynasty, and if he has been shrinking in Guangdong, he will not be able to control Guangxi and other places, so under the persuasion of Wang Kefan, Emperor Longwu has long made up his mind to move his line to Guilin.

To his surprise, as soon as Wang Kefan proposed this proposal, he was unanimously opposed by other civil officials, and although Emperor Longwu did not say anything on the surface, he was very angry in his heart - these civil officials only wanted to protect their own interests, and they could not afford to conspire with them.

In the end, Wang Kefan had a way to exchange the main examination of the first Enke, and obtained the support of the southern faction, and the matter of moving to Guilin was finally decided.

When Emperor Longwu thought of this, his mood was very complicated, Wang Kefan didn't seem to be a loyal minister, but he could always consider the emperor and the interests of the Ming Dynasty, how should such a courtier be used?

"According to the concubine, Wang Kefan is indeed a rare loyal minister!" Speaking of Wang Kefan, Queen Zeng's tone was full of appreciation.

Between Emperor Longwu and Wang Kefan, there are some secrets that others don't know, and they haven't said anything to Empress Zeng. In Empress Zeng's view, Wang Kefantingzhou rescued, Ganzhou fought bloodily, and helped Emperor Longwu control Guangdong, although he made a series of great achievements, but what is more valuable is that he was willing to leave the center of the court when he was in the limelight, and did not hesitate to transfer the Gongyi battalion back to Huguang, without any intention of holding the court hostage.

With the support of such a loyal army, Emperor Longwu's waist was able to sit up straight and he had enough confidence to speak.

"Yes, Wang Kefan took the initiative to transfer the Gongyi Battalion, which was indeed beyond my expectations." Emperor Longwu originally thought that Wang Kefan would use military power to put pressure on the imperial court, seize power up and down, and expand the strength of his own faction.

In order to balance Wang Kefan, he did not hesitate to put Fu Guan in the third place in the cabinet, and there were two or three candidates for other factions to enter the cabinet, and from a practical point of view, Wang Kefan's faction was almost desireless, except for guarding the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and never participated in other power struggles, which made Emperor Longwu very emotional.

He stood up and walked to the window, silently looked at the bright moon in the sky, and couldn't help but think wildly: "If he can abide by his duty as a courtier in the future, I will spare his life on the day he defeats the Manchu Dynasty......

"Your Majesty, you can take a look at this notebook!"

Empress Zeng suddenly screamed, as if something had happened, Emperor Longwu walked over quickly, took the notebook and looked at it carefully, and a big pimple immediately stirred up between the two eyebrows.

This is the recital of Zhu Tianlin, a young Zhan matter, mentioning Zhang Xianzhong, who is entrenched in Sichuan.

"This Zhu Tianlin is simply afraid that the world will not be chaotic!" Emperor Longwu didn't look closely anymore, and threw the piece on the table with a thud.

In the Hongguang Dynasty, the argument of borrowing the capture of Pingkou was noisy for a while, and later the Manchu Qing swept the world, and now no one mentions it, but in the hearts of most Southern Ming officials, Zhang Xianzhong is still the mortal enemy of the Ming Dynasty, and "Pingkou" is as important as "resisting capture".

From the heart of Emperor Longwu, it is to support the appeasement of Zhang Xianzhong, but the court has just been rebuilt, the foundation is not stable, at this time to propose to appease Zhang Xianzhong, it will definitely cause a fierce controversy, Emperor Longwu did not have the confidence to persuade the civil and military officials.

"I wonder if that Hua Tianshi is accurate?" Emperor Longwu secretly muttered in his heart, Hua Xiaoyue had already told him that Zhang Xianzhong would soon die at the hands of the Qing army, and it would be much easier to appease the Great Western Army when there was no leader.

"Let's stay in the middle and don't send it." Emperor Longwu decided to drag it out, and it could be delayed for a day.

……

On the same night, Wang Kefan was meeting with a special guest, and the two were speculative and had a good conversation.

"With all due respect, there are many soldiers, and there are too many soldiers in Yuanzi (Zhang Jiayu), so I can't all take them to Huguang." Although Wang Kefan was refusing, he didn't say anything.

"Of course Jiayu understands, if it is reduced to 5,000 soldiers, can he go north with Wang Junmen?" Zhang Jiayu looked at Wang Kefan hopefully.

"Five thousand is still too much, cut to two thousand." With a wave of his hand, Wang Kefan cut off another 3,000 people. (To be continued......)
