March 13.

There is still no news from the leopard room, and the inner garden of the palace is relatively calm, but now the government and the opposition know that the emperor's body will not last for a few days.

Yang Tinghe did not take his son's suggestion to mourn early, but in order to prevent Jiang Bin from blackmailing Zhu Houzhao's corpse as a demon, he secretly sent people to announce the news that the emperor was critically ill in the court and the opposition.

The purpose of this is to make the court, including some of Jiang Bin's comrades, have a sense that once the leopard room issues some unorthodox edicts, such as the mobilization of troops and horses, you should know that in fact, it is not the emperor's edict, it is likely that the emperor is dead and Jiang Bin is going to rebel.

If you obey this kind of pretension, you will not simply be in the same party as Jiang Bin, but you will seek rebellion and wait for the reckoning afterwards.

When Jiang Bin gained power, many people bowed down and obeyed orders, but now that the emperor is critically ill, no one thinks that Jiang Bin can continue to keep their glory and wealth, and Yang Tinghe's purpose is to make Jiang Bin fall into a situation where the tree is falling and scattered.

On March 13, Zhu Hao went to the teahouse to drink tea as always, looking at the commotion on the street, and secretly thinking in his heart.

"What do you mean, sir...... There was a fight outside, but no one stepped forward to stop it...... It seems that the people of the Five Cities Terracotta Division are too lazy to pay attention to this kind of thing now, and in the past two days, they have only seen people passing by the regimental training camp on the street, and the group of rabbits and cubs of the Five Cities Terracotta Division have not gone out......"

Sun Ru now also belongs to the scholar class, and as a lifter, he can naturally look down on the public servants in the yamen.

Zhu Hao picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said with a smile: "Even you have observed the change?" ”

Sun Ru scratched his head, people were stupid and couldn't understand what kind of change his husband was talking about.

"Look, it's been the last two days...... This Shousuke can stabilize everything when chaos is coming, and his ability is really not small. ”

Zhu Hao sighed.

Sun Ru hesitated for a moment and asked, "Sir, are you talking about the elder Yang Ge of the Middle Hall?" I didn't see him move, but now the court is very calm. ”

Zhu Hao said with a smile: "The more you make the people in the martial arts regiment camp, the more Jiang Bin will relax his vigilance...... It's better to shoot now than to wait for a big event to happen with one blow, and there is no need to rush. ”

Zhu Hao put himself in Yang Tinghe's position and considered the problem.

Now the training of the Beijing division and the defense of the city are basically controlled by Jiang Bin and his descendants, and rash actions have no effect at all, and the main problem is that the emperor is not dead.

With the support of Zhengde, Jiang Bin is still above 10,000 people under one person, but once the emperor dies...... It will be difficult for you Jiang Bin to entrap so many officials and generals, and if you make a move at that time, Jiang Bin will be alone at all.

"It seems that in order to gain the trust of the emperor, you must have the prestige of Shilin...... If he is spurned by the world like Jiang Bin, what can he do even if he is in power? Without a backer, its prestige may not be as good as a eunuch in the palace, which is sad and lamentable. ”

Zhu Hao is also thinking about his future situation.

If you have a good relationship with Zhu Si, you will inevitably become the second "Jiang Bin" in the future, and your monopoly on power will be criticized.

Then you can't ruin your reputation, help and abet abuse, you can't accompany Zhu Si to mess around, you need to accumulate fame among the literati, and more importantly, ...... The power must be firmly controlled in your own hands, even if you commit public anger or offend the emperor, there is a way out, and you must have hole cards if you take risks.

Sun Ru smiled and said: "If Mr. is Jiang Bin, it is estimated that he can be the emperor, right?" ”

Zhu Hao glared at Sun Ru: "This is what you should say?" Looking for death? ”

Sun Ru belongs to the kind of open-mouthed person, who will say whatever comes to mind.

Zhu Hao has also considered this question, if he is Jiang Bin, in terms of the current situation, is he capable of stabilizing the situation?

Even if you can't be the emperor, you can support the new monarch in your own name, continue to control the new emperor in your hands, and be the number one minister of the Ming Dynasty?

There is such a possibility, but the preparation time is too hasty, it is better to prepare everything when the emperor has just returned to Beijing, and now the emperor is dying...... Even if Da Luo Jinxian came, it would be useless, mainly because Jiang Bin's reputation was too bad, and no one wanted to do it with him after he had no emperor as a backer.

It's not that Yang Tinghe made an accurate move, but that you Jiang Bin really can't do it.

……

……

Jiang Bin really lacks the demeanor of a powerful minister, even if he knows that the news must be blocked, but he is not the only minister around the emperor, and others still want to compete with him for power and profit, so the news of the emperor's death cannot be concealed from the outside at all.

March 13 nights.

Zhu Hao returned to his residence, today he has to write a letter to Tang Yin, who is far away in Anlu, it is estimated that when the letter is delivered, the team that greets him is about to arrive, after all, the channels for civil transmission are not the same as those of the official.

The purpose of writing the letter is to remind Tang Yin of some things, and the letter cannot be too direct, it can be regarded as an ordinary letter between master and apprentice to report safety.

Unexpectedly, Su Xigui rushed over in a hurry, and brought two young scribes behind him.

Zhu Hao called Su Xigui into the study of the courtyard alone, and as soon as Su Xigui came up, he said, "Your Majesty may not be able to support it for another night." ”

Zhu Hao asked, "What happened tonight?" ”

Su Xigui nodded: "I spent a lot of money and heard the news from the leopard house detective...... I also learned that Elder Yang Ge planned to punish some of His Majesty's close ministers, even Wang Shangshu and Huang Gong...... How good is that? ”

Zhu Hao frowned: "Where did you find out about the news later?" ”

"Oops!"

Su Xigui glanced back at the two young scribes who were still waiting in the courtyard, and then leaned closer to Zhu Hao, his voice was low, "Yang Ge Lao has secret contact with Empress Dowager Zhang in the palace, almost all of them rely on Zhang Yong and Zhang Gonggong, and he also secretly discussed with Liang Daxue and others, because Huang Gong has always had some reputation in the court, and those departments close to Yang Ge Lao feel that Huang Gong should not be guilty...... That's why I let out the wind and told Huang Gong to be careful. ”

Zhu Hao nodded: "Someone wants to remind Huang Gong and ask him to hurry up and resign, right?" ”

"How does the little master know? Truly...... So. Su Xigui nodded in acknowledgement.

Zhu Hao understands this very well.

Wang Qiong offended too many people in the dynasty, and there were too many generals of Jiang Bin's line who were promoted by Wang Qiong when he was in charge of the military department in recent years, and the military department involved the promotion, appointment, and dismissal of the Northwest Army generals and governors in recent years, as well as the Northwest Army generals for meritorious service, which was basically just decoration, Wang Qiong had a grudge with the mainstream of civil officials represented by Yang Tinghe, and no one wanted to protect him.

But Huang Zan is just a cadre who was promoted from Huguang to the center and then went to the northwest to clean up the grain and salary, led the salt reform in the past few years, and let the emperor toss in the northwest without spending too much money, plus Huang Zan has avoided the edge, and took the initiative to ask for transfer to Nanjing, and helped the imperial court solve the problems of military supplies required for the army to be drawn in Nanjing.

Perhaps except for Yang Tinghe, who thinks that Huang Chan should be eradicated together, the rest of the ministers feel that Huang Chan is at most resigned and returned to his hometown, even if it is okay, he will not be guilty.

Ventilating the news in advance also wanted Huang Zan to be prepared and take the initiative to resign, so as not to be liquidated by Yang Tinghe.

"Little master, this is a big matter, Huang Gong has been working hard and doing his best for the court, even if it was personally promoted by His Majesty, but he has also been assessed by the Ministry of Officials, and has never made a mistake, if it is only because Huang Gong is not the first party to be questioned, it is too ...... Isn't it fair? ”

Su Xigui felt sad in his heart.

The imperial court belongs to crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, and even before you cross the river, you started to be ruthless, aren't you afraid that Huang Zan will stand with Jiang Bin?

Zhu Hao said: "Actually, I have long wanted to bring this up, even if the Xingwang Mansion has a real dragon and a new treasure, it is difficult to control the ministers, if Yang Ge Lao is smooth *** Bin and other ministers, the prestige of the court and the central government will be unique for a while, in the name of the same party of the ministers, carry out a big purge in the court, do you think the new emperor is qualified to intervene and interfere?" ”

Su Xigui cried with a sad face: "That means that Huang Gong must be allowed to take the initiative to beg for the old man to return to the field?" ”

Zhu Hao shook his head: "Two choices, one is like you said, begging the old man to return to the field, but this is not a foolproof strategy, not in the court, but no longer scruples by the ministers, it is easier to liquidate, they want to deal with Huang Gong is more to kill chickens and monkeys, not to see how much Huang Gong has done for the traitors in the court, or whether he is Jiang Bin's party." ”

"Isn't it the same party that wants to crusade? This...... It's too unreasonable, isn't it? How can there be such a thing in business? Su Xigui unconsciously thought about business again.

Zhu Hao said: "The second is to pretend not to know and wait. Huang Gong has always been the secretary of the southern household department, and the authority is in hand, and now Yang Ge Lao's goal is all in the capital, even if he controls the overall situation and wants the party to fight against differences, he can only start with the Beijing division first, Wang Shangshu may be unavoidable, but when he frees up his hands to deal with the officials in Nanjing, whether he has the energy is another matter. ”

"Oh?"

Su Xigui didn't quite understand.

Zhu Hao sighed: "After the new emperor ascends the throne, there will definitely be some moves, so that Yang Ge Lao will be distracted, and then maybe he will not only not target Huang Gong, but will also take action." ”

Su Xigui was even more confused, and he couldn't understand what Zhu Hao said at all, or he couldn't consider this layer at all with his thinking.

Zhu Hao naturally couldn't talk to Su Xigui about the "Great Gift Discussion".

It seems that as long as Yang Tinghe deals with Jiang Bin and controls the situation, he can use his party's plan to fight against different people in the capital, but in fact, it is only aimed at Wang Qiong in history, and the tentacles have not yet reached Nanjing, and the big ceremony discussion will start, and Yang Tinghe can only focus on how to make the little emperor obediently obey the order.

A few years before Emperor Jiajing ascended the throne in history, it can be said that he was a model of hard work and resentment of the emperor, comparable to the diligence of Xiaozong when he ascended the throne, and there is a humble mentality.

Zhu Hao said: "It's hard to guarantee that someone will report the news in advance, it's not Yang Ge Lao's intention...... Maybe Yang Ge Lao just let Huang Gong retreat bravely? He knew that he couldn't be distracted from the Nanjing affair, and wanted to let the people who had been promoted in the past few years and were not his fellow party members resign on their own, wasn't it also a coping strategy? ”
