Chapter 402: The Emperor's Art (First Update)

"Your Majesty, the minister is also willing to go to Jiaozhi with Zhenwubo to quell the Jiaozhi rebellion!" Just after Wang Jian came out of the ranks, another loud voice sounded in the crowd on the right side of the hall, which immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the hall.

Under people's surprised attention, a tall man with a Chinese character face walked out of the back of the queue and stood in front of the hall and bowed to Emperor Xuande.

Hearing this, Li Yuntian couldn't help but glance at the man with a national character face, a look of surprise flashed on his face, and he was quite surprised by the move of the man with a national character face.

The man with the national character face is Liang Shaojie, the commander of the Governor's Mansion of the Chinese Army, and Liang Shaojie, the guest of honor of the Su Prince's Mansion, Liang Shaojie is the husband of the Anqing County Lord, the daughter of Zhu Anwen, the prince of Su, and is nearly thirty years old.

The so-called "guest of honor" is not an official position, but refers to the son-in-law of the palace.

In the Ming Dynasty, the princess's husband was a concubine, whose full name was "Concubine", and the prince, the son-in-law of the prince of the county, the grandson-in-law, the great-grandson-in-law and the great-grandson-in-law were all called "Yibin".

Liang Shaojie's grandfather was named An Taibo by Emperor Hongwu because of his military exploits, but this title is not hereditary, but ends in two lifetimes, that is, the earl to his father An Taibo Liang Kun, and the descendants of later generations are hereditary commanders.

Because of his outstanding exploits in the war of Zhending Mansion when following Zhou Zheng to quell the rebellion of King Han, Liang Shaojie was promoted to the commander of the Governor's Mansion of the Chinese Army, which can be described as a rising star among the sons of the nobles.

The reason why the people in the hall were surprised by his appearance was because Liang Shaojie's current official position was not able to serve as Li Yuntian's deputy.

Although Emperor Xuande just asked questions to the civil and military ministers in the main hall, there are strict qualifications requirements for becoming Li Yuntian's deputy, that is, among the civil ministers, they must be civil officials above the level of officials in various ministries and courts, and among the military generals, they must be military officials above the level of the governor.

And Liang Shaojie is just a commander and a fellow knowledge, and it stands to reason that he is not qualified to be Li Yuntian's deputy.

"You have the heart to serve the country, and your loyalty and courage are commendable, but remember not to act recklessly, and obey the dispatch of Zhen Wubo." But to everyone's surprise, Emperor Xuande bowed slightly to Liang Shaojie and said in a deep voice, as if he didn't feel anything wrong.

"The emperor can rest assured that the ministers will definitely take the lead of the town and the horse, and strive to put down the Jiaozhi rebellion as soon as possible." When Liang Shaojie heard this, he arched his hand at Emperor Xuande and replied loudly.

Seeing this, Li Yuntian's brows furrowed slightly, and then he stretched out.

Obviously, Liang Shaojie's actions are out of place, even if he wants to follow Li Yuntian to the south, then there is no need to ask Emperor Xuande for war in the Taihe Palace, according to the process, the object of the war should be Li Yuntian, because the generals who go south to quell the rebellion will be designated by Li Yuntian, the commander.

Liang Shaojie's abnormal behavior made Li Yuntian realize the subtleties inside, in his opinion, Liang Shaojie is not the kind of person who doesn't know the severity, it is the instruction of Emperor Xuande, firstly, to promote Liang Shaojie through the Jiaozhi war, and secondly, it is also a kind of restriction on him.

Although Emperor Xuande trusted Li Yuntian, Li Yuntian, the governor of Guangxi and Jiaozhi, had too much military and political power, especially military power, and needed someone to supervise it, and this person was Liang Shaojie.

If Liang Shaojie asks Li Yuntian for war, then he will be appointed by Li Yuntian to the position in the army, and if he asks Emperor Xuande for war, he will be appointed by Emperor Xuande like Li Yuntian, which has a completely different meaning.

Li Yuntian can completely understand Emperor Xuande's approach, after all, Emperor Xuande is the son of the Great Tomorrow, and no matter how good the relationship between the two is, they will not become friends, they can only be monarchs and ministers.

King Su's ancestor is the cousin of Emperor Hongwu, and in terms of generation, he is the uncle of Emperor Hongxi, and like King Fu, he is the trusted royal family of Empress Dowager Zhang and Emperor Xuande.

Although King Fu and King Su are princes, they are not the children of the Zhu family of Emperor Hongwu, so they cannot inherit the unification of the Ming Dynasty.

In addition, the two of them lived in the capital, and they did not hold other official positions in the imperial court except for the status of the prince, so they can be described as two idle princes, unlike those foreign vassal kings who are powerful and powerful.

Therefore, King Fu and King Su were very little in danger of the Ming Dynasty's imperial power, and naturally they were trusted by Empress Dowager Zhang and Emperor Xuande, so they were favored.

Li Yuntian knew very well that after experiencing the rebellion of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Xuande deeply felt the strength of the power of Jingnan and Emperor Hong Xi in the court, and it was not easy to control it like Emperor Yongle and Emperor Hongxi.

Although Emperor Xuande knew at the beginning of his ascension to the throne that the King of Han had a huge influence among the nobles, he never expected that when the King of Han rebelled, almost all the capitals and capitals around the Gyeonggi region were on the side of the King of Han, which still makes Emperor Xuande feel uneasy.

If it weren't for the bloody battles of Zhou Zheng, Zhang Hao, Li Yuntian and others, the Ming Dynasty would definitely change hands, and Emperor Xuande would have ended up as miserable as Emperor Jianwen.

Emperor Xuande also wanted to control those Jing Nan nobles, but the Jing Nan nobles had great military achievements and held the power to command the army, and the relationship between them was even more complicated, which can be said to affect the whole body.

Therefore, Emperor Xuande is still unable to deal with those Jingnan nobles with ease like Emperor Yongle and Emperor Hongxi, so he can only secretly accumulate strength and quietly wait for the opportunity.

Some people say that Emperor Hongwu is ruthless because of his cruelty and ruthlessness, although there are factors in this regard, but in fact, Emperor Hongwu is forced to do this, which can be described as well-intentioned, to remove obstacles on the way to power for the successor emperor.

The founding nobles were arrogant and arrogant, whether it was the then crown prince Zhu Biao or the later emperor Jianwen Emperor could not control it, and the situation of weak monarchs and strong ministers was obviously not what Emperor Hongwu was willing to see, he did not want the emperor of the Ming Dynasty to be swayed by those founding nobles in the court after his death, so he vigorously eradicated it.

But Emperor Hongwu could not have imagined that although he killed those founding nobles to pave the way for Emperor Jianwen, it also brought a hidden danger, making Emperor Jianwen unable to send him when Emperor Yongle was in trouble.

If the founding nobles at the time of the founding of the country were still there, it would be impossible for Emperor Yongle to seize the world with tens of thousands of Yan troops under him, you must know that even if Emperor Jianwen did not have generals who could fight well, the Battle of Jingyan was fought for more than three years, which shows the hardships of the process.

For Emperor Xuande, it was naturally impossible for him to kill those Jingnan nobles when he was young, after all, the Ming Dynasty also needed these nobles to lead the army.

Therefore, Emperor Xuande could only use the means of co-optation and division to deal with them, on the one hand, to support those who were the founders of the country, and on the other hand, to cultivate a new generation of nobles loyal to him through foreign conquests.

Liang Shaojie was trained by Xuande as a new generation of nobles, but what Emperor Xuande never expected was that Li Yuntian would become the first person to be knighted after he ascended the throne, and the second person was Wang Jian, which really surprised him.

At the same time, Emperor Xuande saw Li Yuntian's military talent in the war to pacify the Han Dynasty, and obtained a courtier with both civil and military skills.

In addition to hoping that Li Yuntian would eradicate those rebels, Emperor Xuande also hoped that a group of new nobles like Liang Shaojie could be used to suppress and compete with Jing Nan nobles.

As Emperor Xuande's most respected and trusted person, how could Li Yuntian not know Emperor Xuande's thoughts, so the generals he ordered this time who went out with the army must have nothing to do with the Jingnan honors, and will be selected from those young generals in the governor's mansion.

In fact, Li Yuntian preferred to only take 3,000 Xiaowu troops to quell the rebellion, and he didn't want any of the generals accompanying the army.

But this kind of thinking is unrealistic, because not to mention Emperor Xuande, even those civil and military ministers in the court will not witness this happening, so as not to Li Yuntian to support his own troops and not lose his tail.

"Spread my will, appoint Xiaoyong Bo Wang Jian as the left deputy commander of the counterinsurgency, and command Tongzhi Liang Shaojie as the right deputy commander-in-chief, and the prince Shaobao, and the second assistant of the military cabinet Zhang Ben with the army counselor military affairs!"

Emperor Xuande was very satisfied with Liang Shaojie's answer, and issued an edict in a deep voice, designating Wang Jian, Liang Shaojie and Zhang Ben to the positions in this counterinsurgency.

"Thanksgiving!" When Zhang Ben, Wang Jian and Liang Shaojie heard this, they bowed down and said to Emperor Xuande together.

The civil and military ministers in the hall did not react for a while, and looked at each other in amazement, Emperor Xuande asked Liang Shaojie to serve as the third person in charge of the military power in the counterinsurgency army in addition to Li Yuntian and Wang Jian, so the generals who followed Li Yuntian to Jiaozhi this time can only serve as the commander of the same position.

In the eyes of everyone, Emperor Xuande's move was to clear Li Yuntian's resistance from the army when he put down the rebellion, and if he recruited those governors into the army, he would probably be proud of his achievements and not obey Li Yuntian's command.

There are very few people who can really see Emperor Xuande's true intentions, after all, the attention of the outside world is attracted by Li Yuntian, and they ignore Emperor Xuande's layout.

Originally, the civil and military ministers of the court thought that this court meeting would definitely quarrel over the matter of war or peace, but with Emperor Xuande unexpectedly issued a holy decree to make Li Yuntianping rebel, the situation in the Taihe Hall became calm, and the court meeting ended without panic at noon.

In accordance with Emperor Xuande's edict, the military pavilion immediately posted a notice in the city to quell the rebellion of Jiaozhi for the third time, telling the people of the capital that Li Yuntian would lead the Xiaowu army to Jiaozhi to quell the rebellion two days later, so as to quell the rumors about the Jiaozhi war in the capital and stabilize the hearts of the people.

"Uncle Zhen Wu, the Queen Mother has a decree to summon you to Cining Palace!" After retreating from the court, Li Yuntian was surrounded by Yang Shiqi and Zhang Fu and other important ministers in the court and walked out of the Taihe Palace, chatting about the counterinsurgency while walking.

Li Yuntian was slightly stunned when he heard this, if Emperor Xuande summoned him, he could still understand, but Empress Dowager Zhang wanted to summon him, which seemed a little weird.

Although he felt a little strange in his heart, Li Yuntian did not dare to slack off, said goodbye to Yang Shiqi and Zhang Fu and others, and hurried to Kunning Palace with the chamberlain.

"Taishi, the Queen Mother summoned Uncle Zhen at this time, what do you think of the so-called?" Glancing at the back of Li Yuntian's departure, Yang Shiqi asked Zhang Fu with some curiosity.

Hearing this, the surrounding ministers couldn't help but look at Zhang Fu, and they all felt quite strange at this time, it was obvious that Empress Dowager Zhang was so anxious to see Li Yuntian at this time and would not fight for the rebellion, because Empress Dowager Zhang almost never asked about the political affairs of the court, and there was no need to see Li Yuntian so abruptly.

When it comes to the relationship with the royal family, the nobles are much closer than the Wenchens, and Emperor Xuande and Empress Dowager Zhang often have to feast on those nobles.

As the head of the nobles, Zhang Fu naturally knows the Empress Dowager Zhang better than others, and knows more about the Empress Dowager Zhang.

"The Queen Mother summoned her, which is naturally a happy event." Zhang Fu smiled slightly when he heard this, said a meaningful word to Yang Shiqi, and then walked away.

"Happy event?" When Yang Shiqi and the ministers around him heard this, their faces suddenly showed a look of doubt, and they didn't know where the joy came from.
