The celebrant appeared in the criminal department in a grand manner, and the people of the brocade guards came and went on the streets.

When Zhu Houzhao made this decision, he already had these preparations.

I still remember that when Yang Tinghe was protected, some people talked about the eunuch party. The previous trilateral governor, Wang Yue, was also classified as a eunuch.

It is almost impossible to get rid of this symptom of partisanship and disagreement in the court.

And the development of the salt class to deal with so many civil officials today, from the overall pattern of the emperor borrowing the power of the celebrant is also a certain inevitability.

Unless he personally goes to the trial of one eucalyptus after another.

And how is this possible.

Besides, this kind of thing must be someone else's.

Gu Zuo talked about the so-called scholars in Beijing discussing the eunuchs' disorderly government, which even included the imperial court officials, but Zhu Houzhao did not react at all after hearing it.

Why?

Because no response is the right thing to do.

There are at least three reasons for this,

First, these forces of factory guards are indeed very powerful, as an extension of imperial power, the emperor's words can make their power unlimited. So use with caution. If the reaction is fierce at this time, and the emperor personally comes forward to execute those people, then tomorrow the celebrant will dare to put the squire and Shangshu in prison.

Second, the emperor's failure to punish the factory guards for this is actually an attitude in itself. Those who are talkative, Liu Jin will soon fabricate charges and send them all away. Which elder would tolerate these people pointing at their noses and scolding them every day? So someone does this kind of thing, and he still meddles in it? Isn't that taking this pot to yourself?

Third, the celebrant and the brocade guard are very good, and they don't need him, the emperor, to protect them anymore.

In the final analysis, the celebrant and the minister, the current situation was created by him. He knew before he created this situation that there would be such a voice. It is normal for the two parties to fight each other, and it is normal to have some fierce 'sparks', and he is only needed as an emperor when he is out of control.

It's still in equilibrium, so what's there to worry about?

And for Gu Liqing, he shouldn't come to talk to the emperor about these things anyway.

"Ugh."

Zhu Houzhao sighed, this pragmatic bureaucrat is too sensitive to the court and politics. However, his original intention was still good, which was to remind the emperor that there was such a change in the Jingshi.

"What Liqing said just now, I know." The emperor could only pass by like this, and then asked about other matters, "Is there any contact with the matter of building roads, and is anyone willing to undertake it?" ”

“…… Naturally, there are people who undertake it. It is not easy for ordinary people to live, and they basically look forward to working to earn some wages. However, it will take time for the whitelist to be established. ”

"Be quick. The imperial court has gathered tens of millions of taels of silver, and I am worried that the people will wither from here. So there can be no delay. ”

"Yes."

When Gu Zuo left, Zhu Houzhao felt that he was a little dazed, probably thinking that the act of 'complaining' was like a punch on cotton.

So the emperor beckoned to Yan Song,

"You had a good talk with him last time, so let's go again and ask him to talk."

Yan Song thought to himself that I was just a little transparent on the side, what does it have to do with me?

"Wechen is brave, I don't know Your Majesty...... What do you want Weichen to talk to him? ”

Zhu Houzhao smiled, "It's still the same sentence, you can decide what to talk about." ”

Yan Song: "......"

It was probably because he guessed that the emperor's holy will had done a better job, and now it was all in this way.

"Wechen understood."

So he quickly followed, with his body in his hands.

In fact, things in the court have become simpler and simpler recently.

Gu Zuo is in charge of the Shaofu, the cabinet is in charge of administration, Yang Tinghe goes to help the stove households, Yang Yiqing and Zhou Shangwen are in the north, Wang Wei and Wang Shouren are in the south, there is no major chaos in the Central Plains, and there is no major disaster in the country.

As the most important strategic direction and employment of the emperor, he is good at both of them, so he thinks that this emperor is still qualified. It's just that it takes time to build up the country's strength.

But there is one thing that he hasn't put his mind at ease yet.

This is also the reason why Zhang Yong came back.

He is the emperor, and the stability of power is always one of the things he cares about the most.

He dug a pit for Liu Jin, which is fine. Eunuchs rely on the emperor to survive, and in the Ming generation, eunuchs had the highest loyalty to the emperor. But Liu Jin's power has increased recently,

Zhu Houzhao wants to find someone to check and balance him.

Otherwise, it's just the site...... It's really not a climate.

In fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see it accurately. Yan Song, who is not in front of him, is such a person.

Zhang Yong is the supervisor of the army, his original position is naturally important, but no matter how important it is, it can't compare to the stability of the palace.

Besides, as a latecomer, he has advantages after all, for example, he can remember clearly who Yang Yiqing is.

Therefore, it is easy to find the people who oversee the army.

But a completely trusted eunuch is still rare.

Zhang Yong can be listed as one of them.

Zhu Houzhao remembered that the historical records recorded that he was a more decent person, and in addition, he was an old man who served him when he was in the East Palace, and Zhang Yong was attacked by the Wenchen group because he was naughty as a prince, and he forcibly protected him.

Again, Zhang Yong is not as good as Liu Jin.

Being an official can be fine, but not too fine.

Being clumsy also has the advantage of being clumsy. He also knew that he was clumsy, so he didn't have any other thoughts, anyway, it was the word loyalty.

“…… Yang Ge is in the northwest to plead in the barren fields, practice soldiers, and revitalize the army, everything is fine, but the old gentleman Zhang Mao, the left deputy envoy, made him angry enough. ”

Zhu Houzhao walked around the stone road by the lake, swaying under the willow trees,

"Is it because of the million taels?"

"Your Majesty really saw it. It's the silver that is in trouble. In fact, it was originally simple for Yang Ge Lao, anyway, if anyone moved this silver mind, he pushed it all to Mr. Zhang's side, Mr. Zhang has a holy decree, and he is not afraid of offending people, and no one will give face. But Mr. Zhang sometimes overthinks it, and some silver Yang Ge Lao thinks that it should be a flower, and he thinks that it should not be a flower, so he can't help but quarrel. Later, Yang Ge Lao couldn't help it, anyway, he wanted to spend it, and how he was willing to sue was someone else's business. ”

"As long as the silver is spent properly, I will not feel sorry for the silver." Zhu Houzhao couldn't help laughing, he also thought about it, "Zhang Yong, I will sell you a favor." ”

"Selling favors?"

"You write to Elder Yang Ge and say...... With your kind words, I agreed to allocate another 500,000 taels of silver for the purchase of horses, firearms, etc. ”

Zhang Yong was a little surprised and hesitant, probably not daring to accept this favor, "This is obviously a grace from His Majesty, why did he give it to the slave instead?" ”

But Zhu Houzhao has his own reasons for doing things.

"I'll tell you the truth, I've made a windfall lately. Of course, these windfalls have to be spent on the people, but in addition to the people's livelihood, the Ming army cannot spend nothing. Anyway, everyone says that eunuchs are chaotic, and you have taken this infamy for me. ”

Zhang Yong came back from Guyuan Mansion, said something and then asked for a sum of silver, isn't it quite smooth?

Speaking of this, Zhang Yong felt a little more comfortable, "The slave understands." It's nothing to be infamous by back, and your majesty will do whatever you say about slaves. ”

Zhu Hou looked at him stupidly, and couldn't help but smile and say, "You, lack of heart." ”

"Your Majesty taught you a lesson. The slave went back and sent a letter to Yang Ge Lao. ”

Zhu Houzhao beckoned to him and asked him to follow closely.

"Zhang Yong, this time I summoned you back, and I still want you to be in charge of the Imperial Horse Prison. The Imperial Horse Supervisor is in charge of Teng Xiang's left and right guards and Wu Xiang's left and right guards, these four guards are accompanying guards, and my net worth and life are in the hands of these people, I will hand them over to you, you should understand what I mean. ”

Zhang Yong took two steps back and knelt down on both knees.

"Your Majesty, Zhang Yong will not say clever and beautiful words, Zhang Yong only knows that this life belongs to His Majesty, and he will never regret it for the rest of his life!

”

The riverside breeze is cool,

The corners of Zhu Houzhao's mouth curved, "In addition, I will aim to make a selection among the twenty-one guards in addition to the Jinyi Guard and the Tengxiang Four Guards, and form a sharp guard to give the name Shenwu." The Shenwu Guard is responsible for guarding the Forbidden City, and if I go on an expedition, I will protect me left and right. It's up to you, too. This is not an easy task, and the key is not the ability of each individual, but faithfulness. ”

"Slave and maid understand! The slave and maid must choose a majestic divine warrior guard! ”

Whether it is a minister or a direct guard, it does not belong to the civil official sequence, and basically Zhu Houzhao can be reformed according to his own will.

None of the above is a problem for the celebrant.

Because the Imperial Horse Supervisor has the responsibility of commanding the forbidden army.

For Zhang Yong, the task assigned by the emperor was not a problem.

The real key is the next words,

"This time, I summoned you back to the palace, and the most important thing is what happened in the palace before. After killing so many people, I really don't know if there are still people with ill intentions inside. The ministers outside the palace have the Kinkiwei Internal Guard and the Secret Intelligence Division, but what is there in the palace? ”

Zhu Houzhao's action was also affected by the changes in Renyin Palace during the Jiajing period.

That is, some palace maids united to kill Emperor Jiajing.

What is this concept? The person who does this is going with the intention of death, because even if he succeeds, he will die.

Zhu Houzhao has taken some of the current practices, and one of the outstanding points is that things are coming, and he cannot intercede.

It's not that he has to do this, but to do things, and the implementation of this level must be resolute. Otherwise, it's a grenade to blow up fleas, looking lively and lively, but if you don't solve the problem, what else is there to do every time?

But in this way, there will also be problems, that is, his personal safety.

Especially last time, so many people died in the palace at once.

The next time someone makes a mistake, who can guarantee that no one will be born with the idea of ending up together?

So Zhang Yong's return is certain.

First, restrain Liu Jin, lest no one in the palace dare to speak except for his father-in-law Liu's voice, and second, his own life is also important, although the probability is very small, but this kind of thing is only 0 and 1, if it happens once, then you will have nightmares for the rest of your life.

These two reasons are combined, and what supervises the army and does not supervise the army is naturally secondary.

Zhang Yong heard it clearly, "Your Majesty is an important minister in the Imperial Horse Prison and set up an intelligence office in the palace. ”

"It can be called an internal intelligence prison. The establishment of the Inner Intelligence Supervisor itself was also secret, and only the Imperial Horse Eunuch and the Emperor knew about it. The initial number of internal intelligence supervisors was set at twenty-four, each of whom was directly accountable to you and did not know each other. It is an iron law that whoever touches it will be expelled from the palace. ”

】

Zhang Yong was also thinking about what would happen...... I didn't expect it to be a big deal.

For the emperor, it is this extremely crucial thing that he has to decide.

As for some noisy students or officials in Beijing,

Those people, Liu Jin, will go and clean them up.

Father-in-law Liu is now in high spirits, Han Wen does not sell his face, and says that the presiding judge is himself. Liu Jin can also not sell his face, after all, he is still a supervisor, what is a supervisor? Supervision and review means that if you are not honest, you can report to the emperor!

As the master of ceremonies, he still has the East Factory in his hands!

Isn't it indiscriminate?

"Check!

”

Liu Jin was in a bad mood when he was refuted by Hangul, and when he came back, he heard that there was such a thing, so how could it work!

"Just check those mouthy ones! We don't believe it, there will be so many Zhang Demao (Zhang Mao characters) in the DPRK! ”
