After the election of the emperor, it was carried out step by step.

The list of candidates has been preliminarily decided, but it will take more than a month for all the personnel to arrive in Beijing, and even the primary selection will not start until a month later.

Because Zhu Si is the vassal king to inherit the unification, there is no one in the court, and the people are extremely enthusiastic about the election of the queen, everything is that the new emperor does not have any connections in the court, and they all think about whose girl becomes the queen or concubine, and her family will definitely be able to get the trust and respect of the new emperor.

In addition, some local officials were interested in helping the new emperor Zhang Luo in his marriage, and they were eager to make meritorious contributions, so that there were more than 6,000 candidates who were reported this time.

Zhu Si was full of joy and waited to pick his queen and concubines, but he didn't know that his marriage could not be decided by himself, and then the Empress Dowager Jiang and the Empress Dowager Zhang would definitely have a dispute over his election.

Right now.

Zhu Wanhong took the initiative to invite Zhu Hao and asked him to go home to visit his grandfather Zhu Mingshan, but Zhu Hao categorically refused.

……

Mid-October.

Several major events happened in the DPRK and China one after another, first of all, Qiao Yu, the new secretary of the Ministry of Officials, went to Beijing to perform his duties, and Qiao Yu was basically obedient to Yang Tinghe, plus he had the skills and ability, not as weak and bullying as Shi Xuan before, so that the appointment and dismissal of court officials was firmly controlled by Yang Tinghe.

Then there is the war involving the northwest border pass.

In the past few years, Xuanda and the trilateral governance have been extremely chaotic, and the ministers of the DPRK and China have constantly recommended Yang Yiqing, who has been idle at home, to return to the DPRK to preside over the trilateral affairs.

Zhu Si sent people to recruit twice, but Yang Yiqing refused.

Yang Yiqing is a member of Wang Qiong's faction, and his status is still above Wang Qiong, so it can be said that once Yang Yiqing returns to the dynasty, his huge prestige alone is enough to suppress the six ministries and fight against the cabinet.

Therefore, even if everyone knew that Yang Tinghe did not want Yang Yiqing to return to the dynasty, there was still an endless stream of recommenders.

Maybe Yang Yiqing also knows that now is not a good opportunity to return to the DPRK, and he has been prevaricating.

“…… Zhu Hao, look, the surname Yang resigns...... I really want to agree directly, so that he doesn't dangle under my nose! ”

Zhu Si came out of the palace on this day and picked out a book from the recital he brought with him, which was Yang Tinghe's resignation.

Perhaps Yang Tinghe also felt that the new emperor's wings were gradually plump, and in order to test the new emperor's attitude towards him, he simply took a resignation note......

You must know that this kind of resignation will basically be granted after many requests, and if it is submitted alone, there is no reason why the emperor will directly agree.

Even if the emperor agrees, the ministers will jointly play a concert, asking the emperor to retract the order and let Yang Tinghe come back, and the Empress Dowager Zhang will also put pressure on the emperor.

The result can only be that the emperor is a chicken feather, and Yang Ting is in the court as his first assistant.

So from the very beginning, it was impossible to promise.

Zhu Hao and Zhu Si analyzed the current situation a little, and Zhu Si said dejectedly: "You don't say that I also know that the court can't do without him now, and with his big Buddha, you can suppress those demons and monsters...... Alas, I felt depressed because I couldn't drive him away, when do you think I can get rid of him? ”

Zhu Hao said: "It will take at least two years. ”

"Two years? No way? Zhu Si was very dissatisfied, "It's only been half a year now, and if you wait for him for another two years, the daylilies will be cold." Can't it be sooner? ”

Zhu Hao saw that the little emperor now wanted to control the right to speak in the imperial court, and was unwilling to be held hostage by Yang Tinghe anymore.

Now it seems that Zhu Pi has great power in his hands, and the affairs of the court and the central government are decided by him, the emperor, but when it comes to six affairs, most of them are subject to the opinions of the cabinet, which is a rule, whose yamen listens to whom, even so, Yang Tinghe still constantly competes with Zhu Si for the control of the household department and the Ministry of Industry.

No matter what Zhu Si's will is, the people of the six departments will act according to Yang Tinghe's orders, and the officials are firmly controlled by Yang Tinghe's faction, Zhu Si, the emperor, just shows that it looks beautiful, but in fact, many powers in the court are not in his hands.

Zhu Hao said: "Be patient, as an emperor, you should know how to forbear." ”

"Okay!"

Zhu Si sighed helplessly, took out another note, and handed it to Zhu Hao, "Look at this, I listened to you before, and let the British Duke and the Marquis of Wuding be the chief and deputy envoys of the Admiralty Regiment and the Battalion Commanders."

"Recently, many ministers of the DPRK and China jointly signed a petition, requesting that the military department should be the main secretary, and the responsibility of the British Governor Regiment and Battalion should be dismissed, and Hui'an Bolai should be the deputy of Wuding Hou. They clearly wanted me to hand over the military power of the Beijing Division. ”

Guo Xun, Marquis of Wuding, is a descendant of Guo Ying, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, and has his special status in the Jiajing Dynasty.

As for Hui'anbo Zhang Wei, his ancestor was born as a relative, but it is precisely because of this that people will feel that he is a soft persimmon among the nobles and is easy to handle.

Previously, Guo Xun was appointed as the deputy assistant to the British Duke Zhang Lun to supervise the regimental camp, mainly because he secretly supported Zhang Xuan's big ceremony, that is, he belonged to "his own people".

This is what Zhu Hao learned from history, but the reality is that after Zhang Xuan's entry into the Great Ceremony, the people in the DPRK and China did not openly support it, and even Guo Xun only had a tendency to support it, and did not express it.

The reason why Guo Xun was reused was a secret move made by Zhu Hao to help Zhu Si control military power.

Zhu Hao smiled: "Isn't this what we want? ”

"What's the explanation?"

Zhu Si's eyes widened, and he didn't know why.

Zhu Hao said: "Previously, we used the British duke, firstly, we valued him depressed, and his grandfather was my important minister of the Ming Dynasty, and he was quite prestigious in the army. But it is precisely because of the excessive authority of the British public that he is jealous of the ministers, and when the time comes, we should indeed replace him. ”

Zhu Si seemed to understand: "You mean, the British Duke is not trustworthy?" ”

"You can't say that."

Zhu Hao said with a smile, "In general, the British Duke was only temporarily appointed at the beginning of His Majesty's accession to the throne to calm the hearts of the people, and he could not be used as a commander of the Admiral Regiment for a long time. After all, his allegiance is to the Ming Dynasty, not His Majesty. ”

Zhu Sidao: "I understand, whoever becomes the emperor will be loyal, even if Yang Tinghe says that he wants to replace me, he will not have any objections." ”

"Hmm."

Zhu Hao nodded, "The words are not rough." ”

Zhu Si quickly realized Zhu Hao's thinking logic, and said with a smile: "And Wudinghou and Hui Anbo, because they didn't have too high prestige before, it was not enough to deter the army, so the surnamed Yang will feel that they are easy to control." But it's precisely because they don't have any status that they are determined to die for me, right? ”

Zhu Hao said: "You can't judge whether they will really serve Your Majesty by their status when they were the emperor, but you still have to be careful to verify." ”

"How do you find a verification method?"

Zhu Si obviously didn't want to hand over military power.

It is best that Zhu Hao and Sun Jiao's marriage are the same, so that Wenchen feels that his conspiracy has succeeded, and let the civil camp relax their vigilance, but in fact, everything is under control, so it is not only done, but also makes him feel very fun, and there is a sense of accomplishment in his heart to play tricks on the enemy.

Zhu Hao smiled: "It's very simple, send Mr. Tang to visit secretly to inquire about the situation, and if Your Majesty is willing, you can even summon them outside the palace and let them be loyal to Your Majesty in person." and sent someone to supervise the ...... After all, the position of the eunuch of the Admiral Regiment and Battalion is in our hands, and this will not change. ”

Wen Chen wanted to replace Zhang Lun's position as the commander of the regiment.

But Wenchen has no right to ask who will be the eunuch of the Admiral's regimental battalion, this position was Zhang Yong's before, and now it falls to Huang Jin of the Xingwangfu faction, which is guaranteed.

Zhu Sidao: "Then let Mr. Tang go, how can I arrange for you to start the layout, as long as the military power is in hand, what does it matter if I see them outside the palace?" As long as they are willing to go to the trouble for me, they should be respected...... It's a pity that Zhu Hao, you are not a lord, let you help me control the regimental camp, so that I can sleep peacefully. ”

Zhu Hao said with a smile: "The minister is a civil minister, and he has no right to ask." ”

Zhu Si sighed: "Then let the military department Shangshu be the commander-in-chief......

"It's just a routine rule, the secretary of the military department can't sit in the army, where there is the authority to transfer troops, the military department can't be the master, as long as Your Majesty explains things clearly to Wu Anhou and Hui Anbo, the military department is equivalent to being set aside, why worry?"

"Okay, that's it!"

Zhu Si was full of confidence.

He learned from Zhu Hao that the appointment and dismissal of personnel and financial power are not important to him for the time being, and he must first firmly grasp the military power, so that he can be invincible, and he will be more confident when bargaining with Yang Tinghe and other ministers.

……

……

Tang Yin has a new task.

is to secretly visit Guo Xun and Zhang Wei, learn an attitude from the two of them, and then ask the two to meet Zhu Si, and swear allegiance to Zhu Si in person.

Only in this way will Zhu Si officially promote them and serve as commanders of the Admiralty Regiment and Battalion with the official position of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies.

And in this matter, Zhang Lun is equivalent to becoming an outcast.

Zhu Hao's appointment of Zhang Lun was originally intended to let him go to Xuanfu to govern the army and shine for the imperial court, didn't it mean that the Tatars took advantage of the autumn harvest to raid the border? Then let Zhang Lun go up and let the British princess continue to be loyal to the country!

After Tang Yin learned of his mission, he teased: "You want to control the Ming Dynasty." ”

Zhu Hao said: "Let the Marquis of Wuding and Hui'an Bolai to supervise the regimental camp, it was Wenchen who took the initiative to put it forward, how can I control it?" ”

"It's not up to you to decide?"

Tang Yin's face was full of doubts, as if he wanted to persuade Zhu Hao to turn back.

Zhu Hao shook his head: "The right to adjudicate is the exclusive property of Your Majesty. ”

Tang Yin smiled bitterly: "Is it you, you know in your own heart, Your Majesty is obedient to you, whoever you say is whoever you are, even the British ...... can be at your disposal.

"You don't understand the truth of rabbit dead dog cooking, right?"

Of course Zhu Hao understands.

It was also Tang Yin who really thought about him and was so outspoken.

Now Zhu Hao and the emperor have a common enemy, that is, Yang Tinghe, when Yang Tinghe falls, he Zhu Hao may be able to prosper for several years, and the contradictions between the monarch and the minister will one day break out in the future.

"I've got my own measure."

Zhu Hao didn't explain anything specifically to Tang Yin.

If you want the emperor to trust, you have to get to the point where the emperor can't do without him, and without him, Zhu Hao's court can't function normally, and then he really has the gold medal for avoiding death.

It's not okay to be an ordinary minister, he wants to be a person who changes the times, only when the Ming Dynasty is completely controlled by his Zhu Hao, can Zhu Si recognize him, a powerful minister above 10,000 people under one person.
