Yang Shen wanted to ask his father how to deal with the resourceful and aggressive little emperor?

He wanted to say a word for Zhu Hao and Yu Chengxun and transfer them back as soon as possible.

Now that Yang Shen is in the Hanlin Academy, without Yu Chengxun and Zhu Hao to help him do things, others still seem to be respectful, but they feel more perfunctory, that is a kind of awe for his father, and he himself just maintains respect for the number of courtesies, Yang Shen feels that Yu Chengxun and Zhu Hao are the people who can really help him do things.

When Yang Shen walked out of his father's study, he was still thinking back to what Yang Tinghe had just said.

「…… Don't bother your second brother, he has been preparing for the exam recently, and I hope that the title of the next annuity list will once again add glory to the lintel of my Yang family."

This hurt Yang Shen.

Yang Shen looked at the night sky, and his heart was extremely melancholy.

Here, in order to wrestle with the little emperor, the father made frequent tricks, and it seemed that his father had won, but in fact, his father's control of the court situation, especially the Xuanzhan War situation, had collapsed, and his father was full of trust and expectation for his younger brother Yang Dan, but he ......

first rejected the emperor's kindness in promoting him to be a waiter, and then transferred Yu Chengxun and Zhu Hao, who could be trusted by his side, away.

He knew that his father suspected that something was wrong with the people around him, and even his son was implicated.

"Originally, I wanted to say that maybe Mao Gong and Jingdao are doing things for others, and I am willing to catch this undercover agent for my father, but now it seems that my father is very disappointed in me, and he can't find a military advisor around His Majesty to give advice in a short time, so he will be angry with me...... Has he heard a word from me lately?"

In the past, Yang Shen proposed something, and even if Yang Tinghe didn't adopt it, he would encourage two sentences.

But now Yang Shen obviously feels that he has fallen out of favor with his father, and his father no longer treats him as a trustworthy staff officer, at most he has something to do with him, and he will drive people out as soon as he sees him.

……

……

The situation in the northwest has deteriorated step by step.

The Tatar offensive, with the arrival of the autumn harvest season, became more and more violent.

Although the Ming Dynasty is not as good as the previous generations in the northwest tuntian, after all, the base is there, and a large number of grain crops are still grown. In the autumn harvest season, the Tatars broke through the pass and entered the Daming Pass to plunder, the Ming officers and soldiers basically cowered in the castle and did not come out, the Tatars became farmers instead, put down their weapons and used sickles, the first thing they did every time they entered the pass was to harvest the farmers in the fields, and the livestock that could be snatched away were not left.

This mode of operation...... Actually, it's similar to a robber.

Not even a bandit, more like a group of outcasts like locusts crossing the border.

But it was such a group of Tatars who went to the fields to harvest grain when they entered the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming officials and troops had nothing to do with it.

After all, the Tatars got on horseback, and their individual combat ability was much stronger than that of the Ming official army, and after Chen Jiuchou served as the governor of Xuanda, the military and government of the place were in chaos, and the upper and lower levels could not work together at all.

No one was willing to take responsibility, so when it was discovered that the Tatars could break through the pass and drive straight in, almost all the soldiers and horses chose to retreat to the defense.

Grab it.

After robbing the trouble, leave early, we don't pursue, at most we just go out of the city and pretend to be, so as not to be impeached by the imperial historian, and the rest of the things ......

Do your best and let God do your best.

……

……

The third election held in the inner garden of the palace has officially ended.

Of the three queen candidates, Zhu Si did not go through any mention from Zhu Hao, and it was completely up to him to make the decision, and the wheel of history rolled forward, and he still chose the Chen family.

With the Chen family being elected as the queen, Chen's father Chen Wanyan was just a student, and was instantly promoted to Honglu Siqing, but only on a temporary post rather than a real position, and then he was promoted to the governor of the military capital and the governor of the palace, and he has not yet been knighted, but in the tradition of the emperor's father in the Ming Dynasty, Chen Wanyan will at least be an earl in the future.

The queen is selected.

Then let the Ministry of Rites draw up the details of the wedding.

courtesy

The ministry immediately went to the ceremonial note, setting it as the second day of the first month of September to sacrifice to heaven and earth and the temple, and set the wedding date on September 11.

At the same time, Zhu Si proposed an amnesty for the world.

However, the ministers opposed this proposal......

At this day of the court meeting, the four cabinet ministers came out together to oppose Zhu Si's amnesty proposal, which suddenly made the relationship between the monarch and the minister very stiff.

Coming out of the Fengtian Palace, Mao Cheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, spoke to Yang Tinghe alone and asked about the amnesty.

Mao Cheng's words were very direct: "Is Jiefu worried that His Majesty's move is intended to target the former emperor's former ministers? I want to excuse them and let them return to the DPRK as soon as possible."

Yang Tinghe was silent.

Now it is obvious to everyone that what Yang Tinghe has done in the northwest military and political aspects is very unpopular, in order to fight with the little emperor and completely disrupt the originally calm Xuanda situation, the former Xuanda Governor Zang Feng was transferred back to Beijing as the right attendant of the Criminal Department, and was immediately dismissed and interrogated, and now although Zang Feng has not been imprisoned, he is still under house arrest.

Chen Jiuchou, who succeeded Zang Feng, obviously did not ease the situation in Xuanda, and Xuanfu, Datong, and Yitouguan are now playing emergency military reports to the imperial court every day, constantly reaching out to the imperial court to ask for money.

The court can't get a tael of silver out of it now.

The new emperor is not in a hurry.

It seems to be waiting to see Yang Tinghe jokes.

Didn't you Yang Tinghe want to take Zang Feng down and replace him with your person?

Now that something has happened, you can bear it, not to mention turning around and letting me take the silver from the inner mansion...... This time, I won't provide you with a penny, and I shouldn't be wronged.

Mao Cheng said: "If the war situation does not improve again, I can only discuss with Your Majesty about the transfer of troops, or send others to control the nine sides, or use the trilateral system to declare the big and dispatch military affairs."

Mao Cheng made another suggestion.

Didn't you Yang Tinghe think that the transfer of troops from the three sides might intensify the contradictions between the three sides and Xuanda?

Then let's not only transfer troops, but even the trilateral governor Li Yue also oversees the nine sides as the governor of the three sides, so that he can shoulder the military affairs of the nine sides alone, and then let Li Yue move the administrative office from Yansui to Xuanfu, so as to skip Chen Jiuchou......

Yang Tinghe replied coldly: "In this way, the situation of Xuanda can be stabilized?"

Transferring troops and horses from the three sides to Xuanda is easy to cause big fluctuations, and now the governors of the three sides have to be transferred over? What do you Mao Cheng think?

You are a scholar of the Ministry of Rites, why are you so concerned about the affairs of the Ministry of War? Does this have anything to do with you?

Since you are so assertive, why don't you come out to propose in the court? Instead, come to my side and make a separate suggestion? Why should I listen to you?

Mao Cheng smiled bitterly.

He originally racked his brains to help Yang Tinghe think of countermeasures, but who knew that he would get such an answer.

Since the Great Rites controversy, Mao Cheng found that it was difficult for him to gain Yang Tinghe's trust, and he wanted to use this Xuanda crisis as an opportunity to reverse Yang Tinghe's opinion of himself, but he never thought about it...... It seems that the contradiction has intensified.

Mao Cheng naturally knew that this was because the new emperor constantly put pressure on Yang Tinghe, which made Yang Tinghe's mentality unbalanced.

Yang Tinghe is not to say how rigid he is, but now it is impossible for him to refer to the opinions of everyone around him in everything, and at this time, Yang Tinghe, as a civilian commander, has to engage in "one word hall". Only in this way can the ambition of the little emperor to encroach on civil power be curbed.

Yang Tinghe did nothing wrong.

If Yang Tinghe continues to let everyone come out to participate in the discussion, he will finally learn from each other's strengths...... Maybe in the end, the little emperor killed this group of civil officials, and the civil official group has not yet come up with a countermeasure.

Yang Tinghe's arbitrariness as a last resort in exchange for people's hearts fluctuated, which was more like adding insult to injury for Yang Tinghe.

……

……

Zhu Hao is still on his way south.

Boating down the canal, you can't see much scenery along the way, but you can also see a lot of customs.

Zhu Hao himself is very relaxed.

He didn't even bother to ask what was going on in the capital...... Put on the mentality that going to Nanjing is a publicly-funded tour.

「

…… Salutely, I have said hello to the people, let the people on the shore ride to the front of the water post to help with the dots, tomorrow morning we will set off later, these days are too hasty, have a good rest tonight."

Yu Chengxun is not like Zhu Hao, who can be a monk with a pure heart and few desires.

This time he didn't bring his family, after six or seven days of continuous travel, Yu Chengxun was also a little overwhelmed, obviously he wanted to take the opportunity to go to the shore to "relax" and find a place to have fun, after all, the canal is the main transportation artery of the north and south of the Ming Dynasty, and the business system is extremely developed.

Zhu Hao said, "Brother Mao Gong, shouldn't we arrive in Nanjing as soon as possible? Are you sick and still need to rest?"

Zhu Hao was very dissatisfied with Yu Chengxun's attitude.

It seems that you went south with me to spy on me, but you couldn't stand it anymore, and you wanted to go to the shore to find a place to spend all your time, and it seemed that you didn't plan to take me with you.

I know that you are Yang Tinghe's son-in-law, even if you want to go to the shore to drink flower wine, you have to hide it, but if you do this, don't you forget your own work?

Yu Chengxun's old face turned red and forcibly defended: "Actually, I went to the shore to ask about the situation in the south, saying that we went south all the way, and there were not many people with us, if there are really people in the south who are corrupt and pervert the law, they must involve the Nanjing garrison yamen or local generals, they may not be good for us, it is better to listen more to the truth."

Good perfect reason.

Zhu Hao thought to himself, are you making up a statement after careful consideration?

"That...... It's hard work."

Zhu Hao arched his hand.

"Everywhere, they are all errands for the imperial court."

Yu Chengxun smiled at the corner of his mouth, his eyes were shining, and he looked like a spring breeze.

probably thought that he would be able to relieve the boredom on the road at night, and at this time he was already looking forward to it, and even felt that Zhu Hao was very easy to deceive, and there was a kind of pleasure after fooling people.

……

……

Night.

The group stayed at the official post.

Yu Chengxun really took people away and went to the shore to have fun.

Zhu Hao was in the room, taking out a book to read.

It didn't take long for Yu San to sneak into the room and whisper to Zhu Hao, "Master, Lu Qianhu sent someone to ask to see you."

"Lu Qianhu? Isn't he in Yongping Mansion? It's not close to here......

Zhu Hao was very strange, Lu Song obviously went to the western part of Beijing to coordinate the mining affairs, and he was not on the accompanying list, how could he send someone here? Then there is only one possibility, Lu Song is in trouble in Yongping Mansion.
