Forbidden City, Qianqing Palace.

Zhu Si was in a good mood that day, came out of Kunning Palace, and as soon as he came over, he asked Zhang Zuo to send someone to call Huang Jin.

“…… What is the view of the DPRK and China on Yang Yingning's return to the DPRK? ”

Zhu Si has now learned to use the factory guard to investigate the minister's reaction to the situation in the DPRK and China, and he has done a good job, and after a period of layout, he has successfully developed many people into informants of the factory guard, and the factory guard system has become more perfect.

It can be said that the extension of the tentacles of the factory guard and the strengthening of strength have paved the way for Zhu Si's long-term slackness in the court.

Even if he is in the deep palace, he can keep abreast of the changes in the situation between the DPRK and China, Zhu Si has long been tired of the process of going up and down the court every day, but now he has not recovered from the happiness of being an emperor.

The daily court meeting, not that he really likes to go, with his laziness, he has long wanted to hand over these things to others, which is why he has always advocated for Zhu Hao to enter the cabinet.

In his opinion, with Zhu Hao helping him look at the court, he could do whatever he wanted.

Huang Jindao: "Back to Your Majesty, the ministers in the court have mixed opinions about the return of the old Yang minister, I heard that there are scholars in the Hanlin Academy talking about it, saying that the old Yang ministry has suppressed dissidents in the court, and after entering the court, there may be a liquidation of the old ministers in the Zhengde period." ”

"Really?"

Zhu Si smiled, "It's good." ”

As an emperor, the decisions made can make the ministers below afraid, and in Zhu Si's opinion, it will be considered a success. He has always wanted to find an opportunity to teach those Hanlin and Yanguan who like to do nothing, and it would be great if Yang Yiqing could meet his needs.

Huang Jin said again: "However, there are relatively few discussions in the six ministries about the return of Yang Lao's ministry to the dynasty, they are more cautious, and few people will openly discuss this matter." ”

"Hmm."

Zhu Si nodded again, "This is very understandable, they are not like those Hanlin and Imperial Historians who are full of food and have nothing to do, they know more about completing the errands at hand, while those Hanlin and Imperial Historians rely on their mouths to eat, and they feel uncomfortable if they don't express their opinions for a day." ”

Zhang Zuo smiled bitterly beside him.

I am also wondering in my heart, is there anyone in the world who does not eat by mouth? Those who are officials have to rely on the cooperation of their brains and mouths to complete their errands, how can there be an official to do the errand work?

Huang Jin said again: "As for Master Hanlin Zhang, he didn't express any opinions to the outside world, but he once visited Xi Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, and the two had a secret meeting alone, whether they were plotting this matter, or what they were talking about...... The slave and maid did not know. ”

Zhu Si was a little displeased when he heard this: "This Zhang Bingyong, there are quite a lot of things, and it is okay to show his existence when he is a Hanlin bachelor, is it annoying." ”

Between words, Zhu Si was very angry with Zhang Xuan's attitude.

Zhang Zuo and Huang Jin both knew that although Zhang Xuan was appreciated by the emperor, after all, he was not a descendant of the Xingwang Mansion, and once Zhang Xuan was aggressive in his style, he would be disgusted by the emperor.

Zhang Xuan and Zhu Hou in history? The relationship has always been as sweet as honey, once Zhang Xuan and Gui Cao were Zhu Hou? Dispatch to the place.

Zhu Si looked at Zhang Zuo and said, "Didn't you ask you to warn him and let him restrain a little?" How did he answer? ”

Zhang Zuo said cautiously: "Your Majesty, the old slave did remind him, but he ...... At that time, it should have been promised. ”

"Should I have it?"

Zhu Si frowned.

Zhang Zuo thought for a while, and said helplessly: "Later, he went to Xishan, as if he had made peace with Mr. Zhu, but after returning to Beijing, I didn't see how much respect he had for Mr. Zhu, but he secretly contacted the courtiers, especially those ministers who participated in the deliberations, and often moved around frequently. ”

"It seems that this person is very wild and difficult to control." Zhu Si commented, "It's not like Jingdao, he doesn't want to do an errand for him, he begs every time." ”

Zhang Zuo and Huang Jin glanced at each other, and couldn't tell whether the emperor preferred Zhang Xuan or Zhu Hao. The attitude of the two of them towards being an official, one cold and one hot, does not seem to be the type that the emperor is satisfied with, perhaps in the emperor's opinion, colder than Zhang Xuan and hotter than Zhu Hao, he is a qualified candidate to be his confidant minister.

As people close to the emperor, the two eunuchs are also pondering the emperor's mentality at all times.

Zhang Zuo asked: "Then Your Majesty, do you want the old slave to remind me again...... Knock it out by the way? ”

Now Zhang Zuo can also see that this little emperor attaches great importance to the means of being a king, and he wants to use all kinds of tricks to control his ministers to make himself look less old, just like a Ming monarch who has been an emperor for decades.

But now Zhu Si does not have such a city government and means.

Zhu Sidao: "Forget it, let him go, oh yes, what does Jingdao think about this?" ”

At this time, Zhang Zuo and Huang Jin had to ponder again.

The emperor was disgusted with Zhang Zhang's radical behavior, and also sent someone to remind him, but now that he learned that Zhang Xuan had a bad relationship with Zhu Hao, and Zhang Xuan was still very radical in the matter of being an official, the emperor had no intention of beating him further...... Does this mean that the emperor also intends to cultivate a force that can compete with Zhu Hao.

It cannot be said that the emperor has lost trust in Zhu Hao, but that the emperor must do this, not only to pave the way for the king to rule the four seas, but also to think about Zhu Hao.

If there is only one person in the court, Zhu Hao, then all the firepower is aimed at Zhu Hao, and I am afraid that he will not be able to parry.

Otherwise, why does Zhu Hao always run out?

Wouldn't it be fragrant to stay in the capital and be the first staff member of his emperor's side with peace of mind?

Huang Jin replied: "There is no definite information on Mr. Zhu's opinion on this matter, but Your Majesty, Mr. Yang Laobutang was invited by Mr. Zhu to return to Beijing, so it stands to reason that ...... He should know best what is at stake. ”

Zhu Si got up and said: "Actually, I don't quite understand, although Yang Yingning is an old minister of the Four Dynasties, he is highly respected and supports the courtesy, but do I need this kind of old minister to govern the world now?" After the change, there should be a new atmosphere, why do you have to use the elderly? These old people have always had a lot of things, and one or two of them rely on the old and sell the old, relying on the credit of the past, pointing fingers at me. ”

Zhang Zuo tried to analyze: "Your Majesty, there are these old ministers in the court, which can better calm people's hearts." ”

"I don't need to calm people's hearts."

Zhu Sidao, "Whoever is against me, I will suppress whom, even if it is Yang Tinghe and Jiang Mian?" Haven't you been driven away by me one by one? ”

Zhang Zuo wanted to say, could it not be that their departure from the dynasty was not because of how awesome your strategy was, but because Zhu Hao forced them step by step to the point where they had to retreat?

Huang Jindao: "Your Majesty, there were thousands of Jinyi Wei households of the Zhu family before...... Zhu Wanhong, Mr. Zhu's uncle, was also brought to Tianjin by Mr. Zhu this time, saying that he wanted to lead troops to exterminate the bandits on the southeast coast...... The slave didn't know what Mr. Zhu meant. ”

"Hahahaha......"

When Zhu Si heard this, he couldn't help laughing.

This laughs......

made Zhang Zuo and Huang Jin a little confused.

Zhu Si smiled: "You don't know this, right?" Jingdao is most tired of his own uncle, otherwise he would not have driven the Zhu family to Nanjing after I ascended the throne, and everyone in their family had problems, and they were responsible for monitoring the Xingwang Mansion when they were in Anlu, if it weren't for Jingdao and his mother's hard work, maybe Jingdao was sent by them to learn martial arts early, and he didn't even have the opportunity to take the top prize. ”

Zhang Zuo wanted to say again, how can I not know about this?

I do a lot of things myself.

Even if the relationship between Mr. Zhu and the Zhu family is stiff, but time has always passed, and the family does not speak two words, who knows if he wants to cultivate the Zhu family and become his own force now?

"Let the Zhu family go to exterminate the thieves, I think it's a good idea, I will be rewarded for meritorious service, no merit...... It's still the same, and I won't do anything to them! ”

Although Zhu Si didn't have a good impression of the Zhu family, he didn't say that he was going to kill them all.

Huang Jin said again: "Your Majesty, Jin Yiwei has read a lot of past files, and learned that during the Hongzhi and Zhengde periods, the factory guard sent a large number of people to Anlu to secretly spy on the news in the Xingwang Mansion, and there were even secret agents and fine works in the Xingwang Mansion. ”

"Hmm."

Zhu Si nodded, and his face became serious.

Zhang Zuo hurriedly gave Huang Jin a look, meaning to ask him not to continue.

But Huang Jin is a more upright person, he wants to report to the emperor when he hears something: "And the person in charge of the joint should be the Zhu family of Jinyiwei, from Zhu Mingshan to Zhu Wanhong, two generations of Jinyiwei have done a lot of sorting and reporting, involving all aspects of the palace......"

"Who is the hidden work in the palace?"

Zhu Si suddenly interjected and asked.

Huang Jin was puzzled: "After the slave maid took charge of the East Factory, he found that someone had touched the file and traced the identity of the former Xingwang Mansion...... It's all erased. ”

Although Zhu Si has no deep hatred for Zhu Hao and the Zhu family, he will not tolerate the spies hidden in the Xingwang Mansion, because these people eat inside and out, and now that he is the emperor, of course, he must pick out these people who have been two-faced and three-faced, and then dispose of them.

Of course, Zhu Hao had long expected this to happen, so he destroyed this part of the information in advance.

It was not to protect Lu Song alone, but to keep the old subordinates of Xingwangfu from suspicion of each other.

The emperor has no evidence, so he will not ask this question any more.

"You've been in charge of Dongchang for a few years, why haven't you found out until now?"

Zhu Si was very dissatisfied with this answer.

Huang Jindao: "Your Majesty, it was you who ordered you not to suspect the people around you as much as possible. ”

"This is what the Tao said to me."

Zhu Sidao, "Do you want to use my words to block my mouth?" ”

When Huang Jin heard this, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed to admit his mistake.

"Alas!"

Zhu Si sighed and said: "Time has passed, I shouldn't have continued to investigate, but now is different from the past, at that time, I just ascended the throne to be consistent with the outside world, and not to check the internal ghosts is to avoid panic, but now there are almost no people from the outside who can affect me, and it is time to liquidate." ”

This is said clearly and clearly, and both Huang Jin and Zhang Zuo can understand it.

Once the external enemy is gone, there is only internal strife.

This is also the law in the field of power since ancient times......

Zhu Sidao: "It's a pity that Jingdao is not in the capital, otherwise I would still let him check, with his ingenuity, it is easy to find out the details in the Xingwang Mansion, or ...... Actually, he already knew. ”

"Your Majesty?"

Zhang Zuo was puzzled.

Zhu Si sighed: "Jingdao doesn't want to stir up disputes the most, he is still too merciful sometimes!" ”
