Chapter 241: Alone

Although nearly half of the ministers protested, Dongchang still grew up rapidly with the support of the emperor and the assistance of Jinyiwei, the court mechanism can not be abolished because of the ministers, and the emperor can't stand it for a long time, and finally on the second day after the marriage between Ning Zhiyuan and the lord of Ningyi County was canceled, the confrontation that had been delayed for half a month ushered in the most intense moment.

Ning Yi's illness recovered quickly, and King Ning and Princess Ning rushed to the capital from Bingzhou.

Although the cancellation of the marriage was due to the error of the calculation of the predecessor Qin Tianjianzheng, after all, this was still a marriage given by the emperor, and the cancellation of the marriage was a heavy blow to the reputation of a girl's family.

King Ning had a friendly relationship with the emperor, although he regretted the marriage between Ning Zhiyuan and Ning Yi, but he didn't say anything, and the husband and wife saw the emperor and queen After thanking the emperor, they left the capital with Ning Yi, who had just recovered from a serious illness.

There is the experience of the establishment of the Jinyi Wei mechanism, the establishment of the East Factory mechanism is also surprisingly fast, in just half a month, the internal mechanism of the East Factory has been perfected, and the East Factory Government has also been completed.

On the day when Dongchang moved into the palace, Lu Yi'an, who haunted the minister's house all day long, came to the outside of Dongchang with the minister who would rather be burned to ashes by the emperor's anger than resolutely not retreat.

The emperor is leading the ministers who also shouldered two positions on one shoulder to preside over the overall situation for the first use of the Dongchang government outside the Dongchang factory, and the arrival of Lu Yi'an's group directly interrupted the entry of the Dongchang factory guards, and the stalemate for half a month completely froze.

Ning Zhiyuan was involved in the cabinet, he did not attend today, he hid in the mansion to enjoy the flowers and read books, he listened to the news that came back from outside, and issued orders one by one, the emperor wants to centralize power, the minister will lose power, the emperor alone speaks and no one dares to object, it is not a good thing for Dahe in the future, this is the reference point for Lu Yi'an.

The relationship between the emperor and Lu Yi'an has been recorded in the annals of history by the historians, and the ministers are also the ministers and confidants, and the ministers dare to put life and death and future honor and disgrace into the hands of Lu Yi'an, that is, they trust Lu Yi'an to bring them the gospel.

Ning Zhiyuan also firmly believes that Lu Yi'an can bring good news to himself.

When the establishment of Dongchang, the power of the Governor's Mansion will be weakened, Dahe will enter the prosperous era, and the troops will be idle and scattered, and the strength of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies will be even weaker, and at that time, Dongchang and Jinyiwei will become the leading force in the capital, which is not a good thing for him and Ning Chaoge, Ning Chaoge did not make a move, because his shot would attract the anger of the emperor, because he did not have a selfless duke like Lu Yi'an, and Ning Zhiyuan did not make a move, it was because he believed that with Lu Yi'an's head of Wenchen, he could have a good talk with the emperor.

"The emperor and Lu Shoufu have been in the East Factory for two quarters of an hour!"

Qin Huai brought the latest news, and after a moment of stalemate between the emperor and Lu Yi'an, the emperor took a step back and walked into the newly built mansion in Dongchang with Lu Yi'an.

"Zhu Ge is here?" Ning Zhiyuan leisurely put down the poetry book that he had already finished reading in his hand, got up and picked up the brush to practice calligraphy.

"In!"

Jinyiwei and Dongchang, how can we strike a balance?

There was a brocade guard before, why did you have an east factory later? The power of the emperor's five military governors is too big to set up Jinyi Wei to restrict, I am afraid that the Jinyi guard is too strong to set up Dongchang to check and balance, and the emperor in the five military governor's mansions intends to support Ning Chaoge to replace Shen Ke, Zhu Ge and Shu Ruhai are both close associates of the emperor, but Ning Chaoge, his own son, will be dissatisfied with this, how can Zhu Ge be satisfied with this?

When Zhu Ge's name was Zhu Ge, he was only a subordinate of An Guogong, An Guogong was very important and trusted him, not only let him lead the handsome seal he could use, but also intended to promote the marriage of Zhu Ge and his daughter, An Guogong's fire has turned all kinds of eleven years ago into ashes, he didn't know what happened at the beginning, but Zhu Ge appeared again, but he has become a gelding dog who has been in charge of the Jinyi Guard for the emperor for many years, if he says that there is no traitor to seek glory, if he says that there is no trade-off between interests He does not believe it, No matter what deal Zhu Ge made to make him follow An Guogong to become the emperor's loyal minion, among them, a good word is indispensable.

can abandon the voice of his parents and become the lowest person, who can say that such a person is pure-hearted and has few desires?

Why did Shu Ruhai become the eunuch of the palm seal of the East Factory? When you are old, you have to do these things that you have never done before to compete with Jinyiwei, isn't it also for your own selfish desires?

In this play, there are few satisfied people and many dissatisfied people.

As long as the person leading the scene regresses, everything is easy to say.

The emperor's most trusted courtier, Li Yan Liu, has left, and Shen Ke's status has begun to waver, and now Lu Yi'an is standing on the opposite side of him, how to choose, this is no longer necessary for him to think about.

What he is waiting for today is not the result, but a person.

"Lord Wang, Gongzi Zhang is here!"

The housekeeper came with Zhang Jing, now at this time, the people who can walk around the capital leisurely are only these young nobles who can't think about it, the spring will be tried to be invalidated, and the spring of the next year can only make up the exam, only Zhang Jing, who is a person, can not embark on a career as an official, so this period of time is still with that group of noble sons wandering around in the fireworks alley of the capital.

The eldest son of the Marquis of Zhenguo was imprisoned for three years, so that many people paid more attention to the third generation of the Marquis of Zhenguo, the uncle had a sister who was the queen, and a nephew who was a popular candidate for the prince, and now he took over the business of the Marquis of Zhenguo, in addition to the imprisonment of Zhang Liuxian's son and Zhang Liuxian's inaction, Uncle Guo's current transcendent identity reminded many people of the very fierce heir to the Marquis of Zhenguo.

Zhang Liuxian has only one son, he wanted to send him to his official career, but now he has been deprived of his fame and nothing because he was involved in a fraud case, after all, the Marquis of Zhenguo is not a family of merchants, if there is no support from the queen, it will inevitably continue to fall in the future, if Zhang Liuxian inherits the title, and then who should this title be handed over?

I have to say that Uncle Guo's foresight and calculation are exhaustive, even if he can't be the marquis of Zhenguo, his son can make up for this regret for him, with Zhang Jing's current identity, it is inevitable to enter the court in the future to share the worries of King Chao, King Chao's momentum is growing, and Zhang Jing's status is also rising.

Zhang Jing and King Chao had already been classified into the same faction, and after receiving Ning Zhiyuan's invitation, Zhang Jing, who was drinking with Kuang Xiaofeng before, thought for a moment, and then came to King Rui's Mansion with the housekeeper.

Although Zhang Jing has the vice of not being able to get rid of the gentleman, but his good character is also considered to be a young man, although his uncle is dissatisfied with his dealings with Yan Xinglu, but he did not cut off contact with Yan Xinglu and others because of this, but as always, he drinks and has fun with them, as far as his character is concerned, it can be regarded as courageous.

Although Zhang Jing is not a perfect person like Yan Xinglu, he will inevitably be a new star in Dahe in the future from the perspective of his ability and deeds.

Zhang Jing is not taboo to associate with Yan Xinglu, who is opposed to King Chao's camp, and of course he will not be taboo to go to King Rui's mansion, now that the situation in the court is tense, he is an insignificant little person, what can he do if he takes a trip?

"Brother Zhang! Have a seat! ”

Ning Zhiyuan stretched out his hand to invite him to take a seat, and the maidservant immediately served tea.

"His Royal Highness King Wen Rui was ill a few days ago, I don't know if he has recovered now?" Zhang Jing politely took the initiative to start the topic, he didn't know what Ning Zhiyuan meant by inviting him to come today, of course, he also knew that Ning Zhiyuan would not be stupid enough to win over him, a person who was already tied to King Chao, today's topic, he wanted to be as relaxed as possible.

"Hongfu, who dragged Brother Zhang, is no longer in the way! Brother Zhang has been a busy man lately! ”

"Why did His Royal Highness King Rui say this?"

Zhang Jing has been drinking and having fun with his friends every day recently, and he is so idle that he can't be idle anymore, Ning Zhiyuan has this to say, of course, to lead to the next topic.

Zhang Jing followed his bend and went down.

"I heard that the queen mother intends to marry Brother Zhang, but I don't know if this news is true or false?"

Zhang Jing smiled, and glanced at Ning Zhiyuan, who looked indifferent, no one knew about this news except for a few people, Ning Zhiyuan said this in front of him, he could only think that today's topic should be related to the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses.

Zhang Jing smiled, did not admit or deny.

In the house, Du Yiyi finally solved Chang Liu's dead game and walked out of a way to live, dancing happily, how could Chang Liu, who had been immersed in the chess path for many years, be a middle and high master, and only one move blocked the way of life that she spent a lot of time to find.

"Rookie and master tricks are really asking for their own death!" Du Yiyi knocked on the chessboard boringly, and leaned back in the chair.

"The princess's chess skills are progressing rapidly, and she will be able to surpass me in time." For Du Yiyi, who has persevered under him for half an hour, he often gave a very high evaluation.

Du Yiyi turned the crystal clear white jade chess piece in the palm of her hand, and her troubled thoughts began to fly, compared with the last boycott, this time the strength is stronger, no one knows what the consequences of this matter will evolve, the reason why she cares is because this matter has involved the two people she cares about the most.

If the East Factory is set up, the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies will no longer have an advantage in the capital, how can what Shen Ke have to do can be achieved? That high mountain, close in front of you, is towering into the sky, it is not easy to climb, and it is impossible to eradicate it.

An impossible goal, but Shen Ke has been working hard for more than ten years.

This has become the whole meaning of his life, she once liked him deeply, Du Yiyi also loved him deeply, that day Shen Ke was drunk and beat people, and she said some drunk nonsense, at that time she couldn't understand, since there is love, why pretend to be ruthless? At first, she thought it was power, but later she realized that this power was so important to Shen Ke.

Shen Ke has always been one of the people she cares about the most.

Use the cabinet to check and balance the six departments, divide and disperse the five military governors' offices to check and balance each other, use Jinyiwei to check and balance the five military governors' offices, and use Dongchang to balance Jinyiwei, the influence of the Fuhu military mutiny, sure enough, in the emperor's heart, has never been eliminated, so distrustful of the courtiers, is the emperor going to be a lonely man?

"If Lu Shoufu retires this time, who in the imperial court can succeed to the position of cabinet chief?"

The last time Lu Yi'an came to visit the patient, he told his plan, and this time, whether he succeeded or failed, he would take off his black gauze hat.

"As far as the current imperial court is concerned, there are a few in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and there are also a few in the six ministries." has communicated with Ning Zhiyuan many times about court politics, and Chang Liu now not only knows how to pursue women, but also knows how to see the situation in the court.

"Yan Liu resigned, Lu Shoufu also resigned, but in his later years, he became a loner." Du Yiyi sneered and put the chess pieces back into the chess box.

"After the Fuhu Army mutiny, I took the pulse of the emperor once!" Chang Liu knew what the smile on the corner of Du Yiyi's eyes was smiling, the emperor was getting old, and his suspicions were getting heavier and heavier. "The emperor has indeed begun to get old, the older a person is, the less courageous he is, he suffers from gains and losses, and he is indecisive, so the emperor will be so cautious and cautious for fear that there will be another rebellion, although there is the best medicinal materials and ingredients in the world, his physical condition is still irrepressibly declining, and he is not far from falling!"

Chang Liu dared to say these rebellious words in front of her after hearing Du Yiyi's rebellious words, and in their opinion, the high-ranking emperor was actually just a person.

The emperor's health is getting worse and worse, so he is so nervous and careful, for fear that as soon as he falls down Dahe's authority, it will fall into the hands of others.

"The emperor's candidate is King Chao?"

Chang Liu nodded: "But he is already strong enough, the emperor has been preventing him from joining forces with General Shen, and now he is even more afraid." ”

Du Yiyi bit the tip of her tongue worriedly and glanced at the two people who were talking and laughing in the courtyard.

"It's not what people want! There are some things that are different from thinking about them, this good show has not ended, it will never end! Chang Liu sighed and got up, reached out and slowly picked up the pieces on the chessboard back into their respective chess boxes.

In addition to the old ministers of the old generation, there are several ministers who have embarked on official careers not to raise their eyebrows and be proud of glory and wealth, but have long been corrupted by interests in the court, and their interests are involved, and the emperor wants to destroy the balanced interests, which will only attract their counterattack, this time the emperor treats the ministers who have dismissed the dynasty so gently and tolerantly, because this force is too dangerous.

On this day, the emperor stayed in Dongchang for a day, except for the emperor and Lu Yi'an, no one knew the content of this conversation, and when the two walked out of the black winter house in Dongchang, Mingyue had replaced the sun.

The factory guards of the East Factory still entered the mansion, and Lu Yi'an and others also returned to their mansions after the emperor left.

Until the next morning, when the neatly dressed officials went to court, the first assistant of the cabinet, Lu Yi'an, took off the top and resigned, and the emperor announced that the Dongchang Dongchang was only responsible for detecting and arresting people, and did not have the right to interrogate the prisoners, and the suspects who were caught should be handed over to the Jinyi Weibei Town Fusi for trial, and the concessions of the two parties made everyone in the court breathe a sigh of relief for the tense situation.

Lu Yi'an resigned, how could the first assistant of the cabinet be vacant and unmanned, Lu Yi'an really adhered to the concept of selflessness and dedication to the people from beginning to end, and also recommended candidates for the first assistant of the cabinet when he resigned.

The person he protected was Zhao Qidong, the father of the soldier of the Ministry of War, Zhao Qidong and Lu Yi'an were officials in the court at the same time, and he was in charge of the Ministry of Industry, and he was a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy.

Although the emperor repeatedly retained Lu Yi'an, he finally agreed to let this old minister who had been with him for more than ten years retreat.

Lu Yi'an's arrangement is a hundred benefits for Ning Zhiyuan, although Zhao Qidong is also an upright and selfless person, but he is in the cabinet, and his son is helping outside, if Zhao Qidong is the first assistant to the cabinet, the cabinet is undoubtedly still under his control.

There was no turmoil in the capital, and the emperor did not insist on absorbing the opinions of the courtiers, and the pressure on the governor's office of the five armies was instantly reduced several times.

On this day, Shen Ke returned to the mansion after dealing with the affairs of the Governor's Mansion, or handled personal affairs in the study as usual, Lu Yi'an, who resigned from the office, took Mrs. Lu and Lu Xiangxue to talk and laugh in the guest room, although there was no father-in-law who was the first assistant of the cabinet, Shen Ke's status did not decline because of this, the military is not as good as the court, and no one can take away his years of steady and steady military exploits.

"It turned out that I went to Jingcheng!"

Shen Ke looked at the few familiar names and place names written on the letterhead, and the fingernails of his newly grown thumb pierced the thin letterhead.

Jingcheng is the place where he has accumulated all this today, those old guys have gone to Jingcheng, where the war has subsided, combined with the actions of the previous emperor, Shen Ke has to be suspicious.

"Zhu Ge can't find out, can you find out?" Shen Ke snorted coldly and tore the letterhead into shreds.

Rubbing a handful of crumbs in his hand, watching it scatter into slag and condense into a clump, Shen Ke's inverted eyebrows began to move closer to the middle, has it been this time? I thought I could delay it for a while, but now it seems that I have to find another way!

Zhu Ge must be removed, he had no opponent before, but now, he has the best assistant.

Some people, the grace of a meal will never be forgotten, some people, all their lives for it unmoved, the emperor's temperament, destined to make him unable to believe in a person for a long time, the person he believes in the most is only himself.

But after all, he is just one person, where can he manage the affairs of the world? If he wants to grasp the military power and the hundred officials, he must raise dogs like Zhu Ge.

Have you ever thought that you gave him everything and he still can't trust you?

Shen Ke muttered in a low voice, sneered and threw the crumbs in his hand into the basin of water on the side, thick ink tissue paper, submerged in the water, and there was no trace of horizontal skimming.

The two mountains were removed at the same time, and the nervous alarm bell in the capital was lifted, Ning Zhiyuan had lunch in the mansion with peace of mind, and took Du Yiyi to the Xintonghou Mansion as a guest after lunch.
