Shi Xing's appearance, as early as Zhu Changluo's expectations, clearly stated that now the affairs of the three major battalions have become a hot potato, and as the most likely to take over this potato, Shi Xing will naturally try his best to get Zhu Changluo out.

With people who come out, there will naturally be people who second, as soon as Shi Shangshu's voice fell, Li Tingji, a scholar of Dongge University, stepped forward and said.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that what Shi Shangshu said is reasonable, and now the restructuring of the three major battalions is a matter of common concern to the government and the opposition. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still so noble, not to mention ordinary courtiers, in the future, courtiers can obstruct the handling of cases with just a baseless correction, and it will definitely start the trend of courtiers attacking each other, please think twice! ”

I have to say that Li Tingji's ability to enter the cabinet is not simply due to the relationship between the princelings.

In officialdom, relationships and abilities are just as important!

In just a few words, the severity of the matter was raised to a higher level, not limited to one family, but the eyes were set on the entire court, and the cabinet minister's bearing was as good as ever.

However, the emperor was noncommittal, and instead asked a few ministers who had been silent for a long time.

"What do you mean, gentlemen?"

There were still four ministers present, Wang Xijue, a scholar of the first assistant Zhongji Temple, Zhen Zhenji, a scholar of the second Jianji Temple, Shen Li, a scholar of Wuyingdian University, and Zhu Geng, a scholar of Wenhua Palace.

Although the status of cabinet ministers is theoretically equal, the ranking of cabinet ministers is conventional.

Under normal circumstances, the first and second assistants will not speak first, except when it is necessary to pass some very difficult issues, and they will be the first to speak, in order to make a final decision.

Although this time the matter is not small, it is obviously not to this extent.

So it was Zhu Geng who spoke first, in the early years, the relationship between Zhu Changluo and Zhu Geng was actually not bad, after all, as the boss of the Zhejiang Party, the Zhejiang Party has always supported the eldest son of the emperor, so the relationship between the two is naturally close.

However, God did not obey people's wishes, because of Shen Zheng's reasons, in the end, the great merit of supporting the establishment fell on Wang Xijue's head, and then Shen Zhengyi's relationship with Zhu Changluo deteriorated sharply, which also caused a rift between Zhu Changluo and the Zhejiang Party.

There is no real friendship in officialdom, and the so-called friendship is only a temporary association of interests.

Now that the East Palace has become a general trend, the Zhejiang Party cannot get the benefits it deserves from Zhu Changluo, so it is naturally drifting away from him.

"The emperor tolerates, the minister thinks that this case should be cautious, the three battalions are the male soldiers of the Beijing division, and there is no room for the slightest mistake, but now the three major battalions have been restructured and the affairs have been completed for most of the time, and there are military departments, the Imperial Procuratorate, the Ministry of Officials, the five armies and other yamen to participate, and the governor Chen Liangbi is in charge, and there is no need to work His Royal Highness the prince from time to time to take care of it, His Royal Highness as a prince, learning government affairs, opening a banquet is fundamental, now because of the three major battalions, the East Palace has not performed a banquet for a month, so the minister thinks, His Royal Highness should return to the East Palace, Don't bother with the three major battalions! ”

In Zhu Changluo's words, the words "provoking the affection of the heavenly family" are not Zhang Zhenguan's stunned youth, not everyone has the courage to say it.

In contrast, Zhu Ge Lao's methods are much more clever, and the duty of the East Palace is to learn government affairs and control the overall situation, rather than spending all his energy on such a thing as the three major battalions.

What's more, since there are so many departments involved in the imperial court, and there are governors and ministers in charge, is it difficult to achieve it without a prince's Royal Highness?

Zhu Geng's words were euphemistic, but the meaning was clear, he also felt that Zhu Changluo should withdraw from the three battalions!

In the cabinet, it is now basically divided into three factions, the second assistant Zhen Zhenji and the East Pavilion scholar Li Tingji are one faction, which is on Zhu Changluo's side, there is no doubt about this, Li Tingji needless to say, his head was labeled as a princeling early on, and the relationship between Zhen Zhenji and Zhu Changluo is naturally not as good as Li Tingji, but don't forget, the reason why he was able to successfully enter the cabinet and enter the second assistant is because of Zhu Changluo's light, and even in the eyes of the courtiers, the emperor made him a second assistant in order to consolidate the power of the East Palace.

In this situation, Zhen Zhenji actually has no choice, if he doesn't stand on the boat of the East Palace, I am afraid that he will become a treacherous person in the court.

And the second faction is Zhu Geng and Shen Li, these two are veteran cabinet ministers, and their personal relationship is also very strong, since Wang Xijue firmly grasped the power of the cabinet with the merit of establishing the prince, these two people began to get closer and closer.

After Zhen Zhenji and Li Tingji entered the cabinet, the situation in the cabinet changed again, and the two came together as a matter of course.

As for this last faction, it is naturally the first auxiliary king Xijue, as the first auxiliary minister, he does not need anyone to be his ally, because behind him is the emperor!

Since many years ago, Wang Xijue has been the emperor's confidant minister, and now he has the merit of establishing a prince, and he has a strong reputation in the cabinet.

Zhu Geng and Shen Li had already advanced and retreated together, Zhu Geng came forward, Shen Li naturally would not lag behind, pondered for a moment, sighed and stepped forward.

"Your Majesty, now the government and the opposition are talking about it, and the reputation of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is also hindered, and the ministers think that Zhu Ge Lao's words are reasonable, in order to avoid the courtiers from discussing, and in order to protect His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness should not continue to operate the three major battalions!"

To be honest, unlike Zhu Geng, the relationship between Shen Li and Zhu Changluo is relatively pure, not mixed with so many party concepts, although it is now temporarily allied with the Zhejiang Party, but Shen Li actually does not want to make too much trouble with Zhu Changluo, so his tone and words are much gentler.

But even so, it still caused dissatisfaction, and Zhen Zhenji shook his head and stepped forward.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this case should not only be investigated, but also strictly investigated, and it is the next policy to retreat and cover up, since Zhang Du has raised this omission in the matter, which has caused a lot of discussion among the government and the opposition, the minister thinks that it is better to order the Criminal Department, the Supervision Yuan, and the Dali Temple to strictly investigate the case, and re-examine whether there is a black-box operation in the reform of the three major battalions, only by finding out the facts of the case, can we really return the innocence of His Royal Highness the Prince, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is ordered to withdraw from this matter at this moment, the case is unclear, and the reputation of the East Palace must be damaged!"

This is very in line with Zhen Zhenji's resume, he has just stepped down from the imperial history of Zuodu, for this kind of thing, it is natural to strictly investigate, not to mention, although he did not communicate in advance, but with Zhen Zhenji's understanding of Zhu Changluo, he knew that this person who had the world in his heart and was not such a wolf ambition, naturally proposed to strictly investigate the case.

However, although the heart was good, as soon as the words fell, Zhu Changluo couldn't help frowning slightly......
