Jiang Xia went to the prison to see Cao Yuan mainly for two purposes, one was for the sake of his master Li Dongyang, and to do his best to be a fellow disciple. The second is to find out whether the person who shot this time is Yang Tinghe or Zhu Houzhao.

If it is Yang Tinghe, then Yang Tinghe is afraid that it is not simple, and the plan is not small. But if it's Zhu Houzhao, then why did Zhu Houzhao do it?

In fact, Zhu Houzhao's purpose is very simple and direct, that is, he wants to control a qiē.

Mao Wenju is in charge of the military department, and he is not Zhu Houzhao's confidant, so he must be replaced. Cao Yuan has been in charge of the Ministry of Officials for many years, and there are indeed many protégés under him.

Zhu Houzhao wants to install a group of people he trusts 100% among the civil officials, so he must first kill Cao Yuan. and then use the reason of "forming a party for personal gain" to vigorously attack the people of Cao Yuan's faction, it is foreseeable that the civil and military officials of the imperial court will usher in a batch of major blood changes in the future.

And after this blood exchange, the pattern of the imperial court will change again.

Not long after Jiang Xia came out of the prison, he suddenly saw Zhang Yong coming, he asked the groom to stop the carriage, opened the curtain and greeted Zhang Yong.

"Brother Zhang, what are you doing in this prison?

Zhang Yong shook his head and said, "The emperor specially asked us to come here to find you, and the emperor asked you to go to the leopard room to see him." ”

"The emperor asked you to come to me?" Jiang Xia was slightly shocked in his heart, Zhu Houzhao guessed that he would come to the prison to find Cao Yuan to verify the inside story of the matter, so he asked Zhang Yonglai to touch him. Or did he keep someone watching over him all the time?

Jiang Xia nodded, and immediately ordered the groom to drive the carriage to the leopard house.

Soon arrived at the leopard room, Jiang Xia walked into the leopard room alone after getting out of the car, and Geng Zhongqiu waited outside the leopard room.

After entering the leopard room, Jiang Xia asked where Zhu Houzhao was, and then went straight to Zhu Houzhao's study.

When he arrived at the study, Jiang Xia rarely saw that he who usually likes to dance with knives and sticks is actually writing with a brush in his hand today.

Jiang Xia leaned over to take a look, only to see that Zhu Houzhao wrote, "Those who follow me prosper, and those who oppose me die." ”

The words are not pretty, and the layout is very average, but the meaning of the words is good. The wanton swaying really has a bit of momentum and meaning to look down on the world.

Zhu Houzhao put the brush in his hand on the pen stand on the side, nodded with satisfaction and asked Jiang Xia: "How is it, brother, is my word good-looking." ”

Jiang Xia smiled slightly and nodded: "Yes, the strength is through the back of the words, the meaning of the words is condensed, and it can be regarded as a good word." ”

"My two words are far worse than my eldest brother's. Speaking of which, big brother, you are really powerful, poetry, songs, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are all proficient, and even martial arts are also very good. I sometimes wonder why you're so good. ”

Jiang Xia rolled his eyes with a smile, reached out and patted Zhu Houzhao's head and said, "You don't need to pour me soup, your mouth is so sweet, there must be something for me to do." ”

Zhu Houzhao smiled and said, "Actually, it's nothing. ”

"The eldest brother came to the leopard room after receiving Zhang Yong's notice, right?" said Zhu Houzhao.

Jiang Xia nodded, "I met him at the intersection of the Heavenly Prison, and then he informed me to come to the leopard room to see you." ”

Zhu Houzhao said: "Since the eldest brother has already been to the prison, then he must have confirmed with Cao Yuan that the person who made a move against Cao Yuan and Mao Wen this time is actually me." ”

Jiang Xia heard Zhu Houzhao's words, took a slight breath, and then spit out. It's one thing to guess by yourself, it's one thing to ask Cao Yuan to confirm it, but when you hear Zhu Houzhao say it yourself, Jiang Xia feels that she has become something else.

In the past, Jiang Xia had always thought that Zhu Houzhao was a reckless, intelligent, and playful emperor. However, after such a time, Jiang Xia realized that the emperor is the emperor, and no matter what time you want, you should not underestimate the emperor's mental skills.

Undoubtedly, Zhu Houzhao invited Yang Tinghe to take charge of the cabinet, and then borrowed Yang Tinghe's hand to destroy Cao Yuan and Mao Wenju, who were important figures in the literature and martial arts, such a move was very beautiful.

But after thinking about it carefully, I feel that Zhu Houzhao is indeed not simple, and Cao Yuan and Mao Wenju can be cautious and cautious in today's status, which is more or less certain.

But Zhu Houzhao was able to grasp the evidence of the two of them clearly, which shows that Zhu Houzhao had already made up his mind to attack the two of them a long time ago. But Zhu Houzhao has been forbearing, and he didn't attack the two until Yang Tinghe re-entered the cabinet. Who can do this kind of forbearance in exchange for ordinary people? let alone an emperor.

In Jiang Xia's mind, Zhu Houzhao was originally simple, but suddenly he felt that he was not simple, and this contrast made Jiang Xia feel a little strange and unnatural.

After Zhu Houzhao revealed that he was the behind-the-scenes instigator of Cao Yuan and Mao Wenju, he carefully observed Jiang Xia's expression, and when he saw Jiang Xia's appearance, Zhu Houzhao patted Jiang Xia's shoulder.

"Big brother thinks I have a lot of city in my heart, right?"

"I" Jiang Xia raised his head and looked at Zhu Houzhao, just opened his mouth to explain, but Zhu Houzhao waved his hand.

"Big brother, in fact, you don't know something. Although I am the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, I seem to be the supreme of the Ninety-Five Supreme. But in fact, sitting in this position makes me feel like sitting on pins and needles, and the vassal princes of the Ming Dynasty are all eyeing my throne, and the surrounding neighboring countries are all coveting my splendid mountains and rivers of the Ming Dynasty. And what made it even more difficult for me to sleep and eat were my civil and military ministers.

Although these people also intrigue with each other on weekdays, once they encounter problems related to me, even if they have a blood feud between them, they will immediately hug each other.

For example, Cao Yuan and Mao Wenju originally had political discord, and there were many disputes in the court. But when I proposed to make Jiang Bin the commander of the Xuanfu, these two people actually led the ministers to oppose together. I made a holy decree, but Cao Yuan dared to pretend to be sick and not go to court, so that Jiang Bin's official seal and appointment documents could not be issued. Mao Wenju dared to unite tens of thousands of generals from the four towns of Xuanfu to oppose Jiang Bin's departure from Xuanfu.

My decree came to an end in the end, whether they are the emperor or I am the emperor!"

Speaking of this, the more Zhu Houzhao spoke, the more angry he became, and the last sentence was almost roared out.

Jiang Xia heard the silence for a moment, and then nodded. The Ming Dynasty's Minister of Civil and Military Affairs has indeed reached a consensus in many aspects.

They didn't let Jiang Bin out of the Xuanfu Mansion not because they had any opinions about Jiang Bin, but because they knew that Jiang Bin was Zhu Houzhao's confidant.

Let Jiang Bin take charge of the Xuanfu, which is equivalent to Zhu Houzhao holding a military power in his hands. Jiang Xia once heard Li Dongyang say that since the Tumubao Incident, the civil and military officials have been very sensitive to the emperor's military power, so once they encounter these things, they will jointly oppose them.

Zhu Houzhao didn't deliberately want to explain these things to him when he called Jiang Xia, he stretched out his hand and pressed Jiang Xia's right shoulder and said, "Big brother, the imperial court will clean up a group of officials next, and I will have someone give you a cleanup list in a while." After you read it, you will write a list of recommendations for me, it seems that the people you recommended last time when you checked the Lianghuai Salt Politics are very good. Young and energetic, and most of them came out of the country's prison, and they must be loyal to the court. ”

Jiang Xia glanced at Zhu Houzhao and nodded.

After talking to Zhu Houzhao, Jiang Xia left the leopard room, and after he walked out of the leopard room, he looked back, and his face suddenly became a little weird.

Jiang Xia recalled every word Zhu Houzhao had said to him before, and finally he took a deep breath and secretly said in his heart: "Second brother, this is warning me." ”

Indeed, Zhu Houzhao made a special mention of the people recommended by Jiang Xia when he set up the Salt Bureau after investigating the Lianghuai Salt Administration.

Most of those people are people in Tianjiao, and they are classmates with Jiang Xia. Jiang Xia's recommendation of them can be regarded as firmly controlling the two Huai salt affairs in his own hands.

Zhu Houzhao didn't say much at that time, but just now Zhu Houzhao's words went deeper into the meaning, which was a reminder.

After Jiang Xia got into Geng Zhongqiu's carriage, he directly let the carriage send him back to the royal dragon exploration yamen, and sat in the yamen for an afternoon, Jiang Xia took out a blank piece of paper and wrote down a list of recommendations. This list Jiang Xia has been scrutinized repeatedly, and none of them have ever had a relationship with him, but they are indeed suitable for those vacant official positions.

This is an attitude expressed by Jiang Xia, and at the same time, he also understands a truth in his heart.

The emperor is the emperor, and since everyone has a good relationship, there are some gaps that must not be crossed. For example, forming a party for personal gain.

The next day, the morning dynasty.

First, the eunuch took the holy decree and read the results of the handling of Cao Yuan and Mao Wenju, and announced that Yang Tinghe was responsible for Cao Yuan and Mao Wenju's family raiding and beheading.

The second is to announce the new secretary of the military department, this position is very important, once he takes the position, it is equivalent to becoming the number one leader in the military system, which can be described as a high power.

Jiang Xia also recommended a candidate for this position, that is, Yang Yiqing, the governor of Ganshan. At this moment, when he was about to announce the candidate for the secretary of the military department, Jiang Xia listened attentively, wanting to hear who Zhu Houzhao would let be the secretary of the military department in the end.

The attendant eunuch read out in a steady voice: "Wang Qiong, the servant of the household department, moved to the military department, and was promoted to the secretary of the military department, and the official is the second grade, and he is awarded."

This holy decree came out, and the audience was in an uproar. Unexpectedly, it was Wang Qiong who finally took the post of secretary of the Ministry of War?

What kind of person is this Wang Qiong, in fact, he is also a celebrity above the Ming Dynasty.

Wang Qiong is a Jinshi of Ming Chenghua for 20 years, and has been a veteran of the three dynasties since Chenghua, Hongzhi, and now Zhengde is also a veteran of the three dynasties.

From the beginning, he was the head of the six-product Ministry of the Ministry of Labor, and he did it step by step, but he didn't expect that today he suddenly soared into the sky and became the secretary of the Ministry of War.

The head of the household is the third product, and the military department is the second product. Although there is not much difference in grade, the real power between the two and their influence in the DPRK are absolutely incomparable.

Just when everyone had not yet detached themselves from the shock of Wang Qiong's appointment as the secretary of the Ministry of War, Zhu Houzhao suddenly announced an oracle in person, and he couldn't say a word that shocked the ministers even more.
