Chapter Forty-Four: Nothing Goes After (Ask for Follow-up!) )

"The Wang family used to be my princess, and now she is in the middle palace, and your Wang family should have a name a long time ago."

After Zhu Di finished speaking, he lowered his eyes and asked, "What kind of official do you want?" ”

Wang Quan's heart was ecstatic.

Who doesn't want to ascend to the sky in one step, she was originally the daughter of the princess and now has the life of the queen, then her Wang family will be both prosperous and loss with Emperor Jingtai.

Wang Quan has been waiting these days, waiting for his daughter's status as the queen to bring him the shadow seal of the Wang family.

Now, it's finally here.

He didn't dare to show the slightest joy on his face, and hurriedly kowtowed and said: "It is a blessing that the minister can serve His Majesty before and after the saddle, and he dare not ask for a reward." ”

Zhu Di heard that there was a meaning in his words to serve himself, but in fact, this was enough.

Originally, Wang Quan, as the leader of the foreign relatives group behind Empress Wang, wanted to serve himself, the emperor.

Zhu Di said: "Listen to the order." ”

Wang Quan hurriedly attached himself and said, "The marquis's decree! ”

"Wang Quan, you used to be the commander of the Jinwu Left Guard, but now because the Wang family has entered the Middle Palace, I have entered you as the commander of the pro-army, and you have the title of Governor of the Right Capital of the Hou Army, and you still receive the Jinwu Left Guard."

"The previous commander of the Jinyi Guard, Ma Shun and his henchmen, were beaten to death by the ministers, and I now grant your son Wang Ying as the Tongzhi of the Jinyi Guard, plus the title of Governor of the Chinese Army, and the head of the Nanzhen Fu Division."

"As for the other three sons of yours, I have given them the position of guarding thousands of households in brocade clothes, and they are in charge of the guards, but they are not in charge of the guards."

"In addition to your direct lineage, the shadow seals of your Wang family's other side lines will be put in place as much as possible in the future, as long as you can work for me."

Zhu Di said, deliberately instructing:

"Now the pro-army is in command of the Empress Dowager Sun's elder brother Sun Xianzong, and the Jinyi Guard is also in charge of the Empress Dowager's younger brother Sun Shaozong, after the two of you take office, you will be in charge of the pro-military guard and Jinyi Guard with the two of you, and the burden on your shoulders is very big."

When Wang Quan heard this, the joy on his face turned solemn, and he said slowly: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!" The minister understood what His Majesty meant. ”

"This is just my edict, how to enter the seal depends on the opinion of the cabinet, Wang Cheng, you personally go and send this edict of mine to the cabinet."

After Zhu Di finished speaking, he motioned for the two to go down.

Out of the Qianqing Palace, Wang Quan immediately stopped Wang Cheng and said with a smile: "Father-in-law stays!" ”

"What's the matter with Commander Wang?" Wang Cheng turned around and waved his hand back from the palace people around him, he also understood that Wang Quan must have some special words to ask himself.

Wang Quan bowed, and then said: "Now that the Wang family is in charge of the Jinyi Guard, even the pro-military guards are also their people, Your Majesty will insert the ministers into it, won't it make the Queen Mother suspicious?" ”

Wang Cheng said as he walked: "Doubt is definitely doubtful, but Your Majesty has no choice this time, the pro-military guard and the Jinyi guard are the forbidden army of the Son of Heaven, and they can't always be in the hands of outsiders." ”

"Who is an outsider and who is his own person, Wang Commander must understand this."

Wang Quan thought for a while, nodded and said: "In the future, I hope that my father-in-law will give me more support and say more good things in front of Your Majesty. ”

Wang Cheng said with a smile: "Commander Wang's daughter is the queen of the Ming Dynasty and the lord of the Middle Palace, and if these things are left to you, the courtiers will not have much to say." ”

"It's just that Commander Wang should pay attention to his own safety."

Wang Quan was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously said: "My safety? What did my father-in-law say? ”

When Wang Cheng saw a few eunuchs coming in front of him, he laughed, quickened his pace and walked over, as if the two had never had this conversation, and went straight to the cabinet.

The cabinet is located in the imperial city, not much of a walk from the Qianqing Palace.

Wang Cheng came to the signing room, walked in and said with a smile: "Hey, Wang Ge Lao, I haven't seen you for a long time, our family is not here to reminisce about the old days, but to pass on His Majesty's decree." ”

"Your Majesty's decree, Wang Meilin is now the master of the Middle Palace, and the Wang family should have been sealed a long time ago."

After saying this, the courtiers of the cabinet looked at each other and began to discuss.

Obviously, many people's faces were surprised.

Because the emperor's edict this time is clearly to enter the Wang family's relatives, but the purpose is obvious, and the three-year-old children can see it clearly, this is to meddle in the affairs of the Jinyi Guard and the pro-military guard.

Jinyiwei and Qinjunwei have always been in power with Sun's relatives since the orthodox years.

The emperor's intention was obviously to seize power from the Queen Mother.

But for the cabinet, there is actually nothing to say, and the Wang family should have entered the seal a long time ago.

Wang Quan is the current national abbot, not to mention the commander of the pro-military guard, if he is not the person who is the "acting emperor", it is not too much for him to be directly knighted.

Now that the city had largely retreated, there was no excuse for the enemy to besiege the city.

The issue that the cabinet is discussing now is still in the Queen Mother.

The cabinet is now a cabinet elder, and behind everyone is an interest group, and these interest groups have a cooperative relationship with the queen mother of the inner court.

After the civil fort, Wuxun lost power, and the government was reshuffled.

The cabinet and the six ministries have strengthened their powers, and the queen mother has since held the power to listen to the government, and if she unites the courtiers, she even has the power to directly decide on the policy.

Sun's relatives united with the military department and divided the military power, and now this deformed peace on the surface is the result of mutual benefit and win-win between them.

The only one who lost power was Wu Xun.

Of course, it has not completely lost its position, and the defense of Beijing has lasted for more than a month, and the result is that the Ming Dynasty has won a complete victory, so no matter how much the meritorious deeds are rewarded afterwards, it is still necessary to canonize a batch of new martial arts.

These martial arts are a force majeure.

Among them, Fan Guang, the main general of the Shenji Battalion, and Shi Heng, who was named the Bo in World War I, are the main ones.

In addition, although the Governor's Office of the Five Armies was interfered in military affairs by the Ministry of War after Tumubao, it did not completely lose its position, and still had a chance to make a comeback.

In fact, for the cabinet, this time the emperor entered the Wang family, in general, to expand the power of the Empress Dowager Sun, and it has nothing to do with them.

Because Zhu Di knows how to measure things very well.

First of all, there was no further investigation into the matter of Empress Dowager Qian's blindness and lameness, and the people of the imperial party have not made any relevant actions so far, which is a favorable signal for the cabinet.

Secondly, the departments that Zhu Di inserted Wang's relatives into were all in the category of the Upper Twelve Pro-Military Guards, which were all the sphere of influence of Empress Dowager Sun.

There is no loss of interests in the cabinet, and what they want to discuss now is how much benefit they want from the secret game between the emperor and the queen mother.

While the ministers were deliberating, one of them took the lead in speaking.

Wang Cheng looked over and found that it was Wang Zhi, a scholar of Wenhuadian University.

Wang Zhi looked already old, and he sat there with his eyes half-squinted, as if he was going to fall asleep at any time, and suddenly opened his mouth and said, "The minister agrees with His Majesty's decree and will give His Majesty a vote." ”

"Elder Wangge?" The rest of the ministers were stupid.

This kind of thing should obviously be dismissed, look at the bargaining chips of the queen mother and the emperor, and then decide whether to enter the seal, when to enter the seal, or how much.

What's wrong with Wang Zhi today, he actually nodded in agreement?

Wang Zhi closed his eyes and did not explain.

Why this is so, only he and Zhu Di know.

In the debate of the day, he led the ministers to force the Queen Mother to let her enter the Wenhua Palace University, which was actually a favor given to him by Zhu Di.

Wang Zhi may be a mercenary and reputation-seeking person, but he is the same as most of the civil servants, this is also a subtle rule, mutual benefit and win-win results.

If you receive a favor from one party, you must return a favor.

Wang Zhi opened his eyes, looked in the direction of the Qianqing Palace, and said silently: "Your Majesty, you push me into the cabinet, I will help you get up, and you will not owe anything from now on." ”
