On the second day, after the end of the morning dynasty, when Zhu Youzhen returned to the Qianqing Palace, his face was very ruddy and he seemed to be in a very good mood.

When he entered the hall, he couldn't help but chat with Lu Fan with some joy.

"Lu Fan, it is true that as we talked about yesterday, Wei Zhongxian couldn't hold it anymore, and went to a "Shame of Holding the Ancestral Hall for a Long Time", asking to stop building an ancestral hall for him. I reluctantly agreed to his recital, and this matter is over!"

Lu Fan hurriedly congratulated, "Congratulations to Your Majesty, next, Your Majesty only needs to reward Wei Zhongxian and the others from time to time, and temporarily envelop them, and they will be safe and sound!"

"Haha, Lu Fan, you have a meritorious escort this time, but what do you want, but it doesn't matter, I will definitely not hesitate to reward!" In a good mood, Zhu Youzhen wanted to entrap Lu Fan and gave a promise.

As soon as the emperor's words came out, Ding Baiying and the others were a little envious.

It stands to reason that they have followed the emperor for a longer time and are each other's henchmen, but it seems that His Majesty's value for Lu Fan is still higher than that of their earlier Xinwangfu people.

Especially San'er, he is a little resentful in his heart, he is all doing things for His Majesty, why is the gap so big?

Only Ding Baiying knows that in the eyes of His Majesty, these people are just martial arts thugs, but Lu Fan is different, he is not only good, but more importantly, knowledgeable.

Every time he expressed his opinions, he was to the point, and it was far more reliable and feasible than the various notes given by the ministers of the DPRK and China.

In ancient times, Ganluo was twelve years old, and Lu Fan, who was about the same age as His Majesty, may be a capable minister in the eyes of His Majesty, and his status is naturally much higher than that of their group of martial artists who only know how to fight and kill.

Facing the approving eyes of Zhu Youzhen and Ding Baiying and others, Lu Fan smiled slightly and hurriedly shook his head.

"For Your Majesty's worries, how dare Weichen ask for a reward?"

Zhu Youzhen's face turned pale, and he feigned anger and said: "You have no jokes, I said that I want to reward you, and I will naturally reward you, Lu Fan, do you have to resist the decree?"

Lu Fan pretended to be frightened, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty wants to reward, it is better to reward Weichen with a big mansion, if you can reward a few more beautiful maids, it will be better!"

Zhu Youzhen was a little stunned, looked at Lu Fan with wide eyes, and was a little speechless for a while.

He actually knew Lu Fan's roots, and before using the other party, he also sent someone to investigate the details of his family background.

Lu Fan, whose ancestral home is Pinghu, is a military subordinate to Jinyiwei.

His father Lu Kui attacked Jinyi Wei Qianhu, and his grandfather Lu Yi attacked Jinyi Wei.

His great-grandfather Lu Shan, who was the commander of the Jinyi Guard during the Jiajing period, was in charge of the Jinyi Guard, awarded the Governor of Zuo, added the prince Taibao, died in the 39th year of Jiajing, and gave the loyal uncle.

It can be said that the Lu family has also been prominent, but unfortunately, once a son of heaven and a courtier, the successive emperors after Jiajing did not have a good impression of the Lu family, which also made the Lu family decline, and one generation is not as good as the next.

In Lu Fan's generation, Jinyiwei's power was controlled by Wei Zhongxian, so that he didn't even mix with a hundred households, so he could only temporarily make up for the lack of a general banner.

It was precisely because he knew Lu Fan's background that Zhu Youzhen dared to use him with confidence.

It can be said that the Lu family has been a royal eagle dog for generations, and no matter what ability they have, they are absolutely guaranteed in terms of loyalty.

Originally, in Zhu Youzhen's opinion, this time he received the reward promised by himself, Lu Fan would inevitably want to restore the glory of his ancestors, not to mention being in charge of Jinyiwei, but the hereditary position of his father in a thousand households is indispensable, right?

But who knew that this kid was so ambitious, he just wanted to be greedy for pleasure, and he didn't have the heart to glorify the lintel and revive the glory of his ancestors.

As an emperor, of course, you don't want your courtiers to have too much ambition, but you have a little bit of fame and fortune, otherwise what will you reward and inspire you in the future?

"You......."

Zhu Youzhen couldn't laugh or cry, and he hated iron for not becoming steel, but in his heart, he was faintly relieved.

It doesn't matter if you don't have ambition, as long as you are put in a certain position and can do things, if everyone is as ambitious as Wei Zhongxian, how can he manage this Ming Dynasty?

"That's it, when the eunuch party is eradicated, it is estimated that there will be some time, during this time, you should think carefully about what you want, and when you figure it out, you will answer my previous question!"

This was a test for Lu Fan, and Zhu Youzhen was very satisfied.

As for how to reward the other party in the future, as the emperor, he also has to think about it carefully, there is no doubt that Lu Fan is a capable person, if he uses it well, it will definitely have a big effect!

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Bowing down, Lu Fan stood aside quietly, as for what he was thinking in his heart, no one knew!

........

The new emperor ascended the throne, the whole world celebrated, and the next capital can be said to be a rare peace and tranquility.

Wei Zhongxian was busy catering to the new emperor and pleasing the emperor, and for the time being, he didn't cause anything that made Zhu Youzhen have a headache and it was difficult to choose.

And with this free time, Zhu Youzhen, who had a free hand, transferred some of his subordinates who were kept in King Xin's mansion one after another, and under his instructions, he secretly appeared in the homes of some ministers in the court one after another, discussing some secrets that were not known to outsiders.

It wasn't until a month later, in the Qianqing Palace, that Zhu Youzhen summoned Lu Fan alone again.

"Lu Fan, I feel that I am almost ready, during this time, most of the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace have been replaced, and many courtiers in the court have also shown their loyalty, and they have even rebelled against several imperial envoys of the eunuch party. Especially the father-in-law Zhao in the East Factory, who also secretly surrendered to me, and with him in his control, it was difficult for Wei Zhongxian to smoothly mobilize the strength of the East Factory. ”

As he spoke, a hint of hesitation appeared in Zhu Youzhen's expression, "But the power of the eunuch party is still very strong, I am afraid that this move will cause the entire eunuch party to counterattack, and when the court is unstable, I am afraid it will affect the entire Daming country!"

After listening to the emperor's worries, Lu Fan smiled noncommittally and said, "It is not difficult to eradicate Wei Zhongxian, no matter how much power the other party has, but his power comes from you, Your Majesty, in the final analysis."

The difficult thing is, Your Majesty has figured out how to fill those vacant positions after the fall of the eunuch party?"

"Fill? Why fill?"

Zhu Youzhen frowned, and said: "The eunuch rebellion is extremely harmful, after the eunuch party is eradicated, I am not ready to reuse the Dongchang Jinyi Guard, I want to be the master of Zhongxing, and the eunuch rebellion must end from me!"

"Your Majesty!"

Lu Fan sighed, there were some things he shouldn't have said, but in these days of contact, he did feel from Zhu Youzhen the desire of Zhongxing Daming to make the people live and work in peace and contentment.

Because of this, he wanted to try again and persuade the emperor, who was already enthusiastic.

Not for anything else, just for the people of the Ming Dynasty, who have suffered many disasters, do their best!
