Chapter 12 Everyone is fighting for military power
That has to be me.
Zhu Youxiao does not doubt himself at all.
When you travel to Zhu Youxiao, you must take back the military and political power, seize the opportunity, and do great things in the name of open justice.
What else?
Dealing with Concubine Zheng, the widow of Wanli? Getting into a palace fight with Li Xuanshi?
Need a pattern!
How could it be possible to regard idiots like Concubine Zheng and Li Xuanshi who were used as spearmen as the main opponents?
They're just clumsy.
The Donglin Party, which took advantage of their clumsiness to cause trouble behind the scenes, almost had no choice but to act as opponents.
As I just said to Wei Zhongxian, the Donglin Party is not terrible. The fundamental reason is that they have no military power.
Huang Jiashan, the Secretary of the Ministry of War, was not in the same group as Donglin at all. Instead, he was regarded as an alien by Tan N, and he and Fang Congzhe, the chief assistant, were among the targets of the Donglin Party to overthrow.
Their relationship with Huang Jiashan is not good, but my relationship is good~
Last time in front of Wanli, everyone including Huang Jiashan, Minister of the Ministry of War, was already counted as his lecturer.
There is also Huang Kezuan, the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, who not long ago served as the Minister of the Ministry of War, handling the military affairs of the Beijing camp, and is also his own lecturer.
The two of them are considered to have the greatest military power among the civil servants in the capital, and there is another person who actually has greater military power than the two of them combined.
That is of course the most decorated martial artist of the Ming Dynasty, the British Duke Zhang Weixian.
It just so happens that he is also his own lecturer.
Donglin, Donglin, the military power and connections you want most have been cut off by me.
Meeting Liu Shimin solemnly is just a smoke bomb.
Don’t be too surprised~
......
In the Qianqing Palace, Concubine Zheng was also very worried about the situation.
She asked the old man in her palace, Cui Wensheng, who had just been promoted to eunuch Bingbi: "How is your Majesty's condition?"
"Back to the imperial concubine, the imperial doctor has prescribed medicine, and the condition is currently stable."
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived!" Suddenly outside the Qianqing Palace, the palace maid announced loudly that the Crown Prince Zhu Youxiao was here.
Prince? What is he doing here at this time?
Concubine Zheng dismissed some of the lower-status palace staff, leaving only Cui Wensheng and a few close maids.
Prince Zhu Changluo walked straight into the huge Qianqing Palace and saw Concubine Zheng with a sad face. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, it would have been hard to believe that she was worried about the safety of her "political enemies".
After the two of them had finished their ceremony, Concubine Zheng asked first: "How is your Majesty's condition?"
"My father contracted a cold due to hard work. The imperial doctor has prescribed medicine. My father's complexion has improved, and the morning court session the day after tomorrow will still be held."
The imperial doctor arrived immediately and prescribed a series of tonics, all of which were commonly used to treat wind and cold.
But Zhu Youxiao felt that it was not necessarily safe. The medicine was three-part poison, and taking medicine indiscriminately was more dangerous than taking care of it yourself after a cold.
Are you right? Concubine Zheng, Cui Wensheng?
Of course I didn't say this, but I quickly glanced at them.
Concubine Zheng was a little fussed by the sight of her, thinking that this prince was really different. When Wanli asked him to be an orphan, he suddenly showed his talents and was appreciated by Wanli.
But he seems to have a problem with himself...Why is this?
You can’t just believe the rumors in the palace!
"Prince, Your Majesty, he is feeling better, but you must be careful. His safety is the most important thing in the world, and I am very concerned about it. If you need manpower or someone from the palace who is familiar with medicine, I can send him."
Forget it...I don't dare to use your people. And are you sure that after Wanli's death, they will still be yours?
Zhu Youxiao once again despised Concubine Zheng's IQ. At this time, he had no idea what he should pay attention to.
Seeing that the prince was very calm, Concubine Zheng seemed to sneer for a moment, and she became even more anxious: "A month ago, Emperor Wanli wanted to make me the queen, and now he wants to make me the queen mother. Your Majesty and you heard it with your own ears.<
/p>
As the queen mother, I am still waiting for the emperor to confer her title. Of course I hope that your majesty will come out soon. After I canonize her and move it out, your majesty can move into the Qianqing Palace."
"These words can be misinterpreted by others if they hear them." Zhu Youxiao mocked her, and suddenly said with a slightly serious expression: "These are troubled times. Please be careful about your words and deeds, so as not to be rumored and punished."
"Who dares to spread rumors and punish crimes? It's really terrible."
It’s really scary. This kind of intelligence and response are too scary.
Seeing that Concubine Zheng was not worried but angry instead, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but laugh in his heart, but at this time Zheng was not an enemy, so he had to say it first:
"Your nephew has a high status and is jealous of his military power. How many people are eager to take advantage of the death of the late emperor and the new emperor to take advantage of the troubled waters to fish in troubled waters and seek a high position and fame."
"Ah? My nephew hasn't done anything."
It’s precisely because he hasn’t done anything that he can’t rely on anyone and is about to be slaughtered.
Zhu Youxiao didn't want to explain to such a fool: "Being the queen mother and keeping your nephew's position are things that the court ministers will hardly agree to. Even if it is the imperial edict, they will not abide by it."
"Ah? Why is this!?"
"Just because the civil servants have never agreed with the emperor's and the imperial concubine's ideas in the past few decades, they will even less agree with it now. Unless..."
Zhu Youxiao was halfway through his words and glanced around.
Concubine Zheng knew that she was asked to reject others, but she was surrounded by her confidants and she was unwilling to reject them.
"They are all confidants and will not leak any information."
"Okay..."
Zhu Youxiao sneered in his heart. Anyway, he didn't believe it. Even the East Palace was penetrated like a sieve. You are a has-been guy who has lost your reliance, but the people around you are still loyal?
If you see a fool, say something that the fool can accept.
"They regard you as a target, a target for success and fame. It is best not to do anything recently. If you want to do something, you must discuss it clearly."
Concubine Zheng was almost dumbfounded, but she could understand the words.
Suddenly, she remembered that the civil servant had never agreed with any of her ideas. It was all because Wanli doted on her. She had been competing with the civil servant for decades and still lost in the end.
Having said this, Zhu Youxiao regretted not staying in the East Palace for long.
When leaving, Cui Wensheng, the eunuch of Bingbi, looked at the prince's back with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
"The prince is not simple, but is he an enemy or a friend?"
Zhu Youxiao returned to the East Palace from Qianqing Palace. This time he discovered something. Concubine Zheng was so well protected by Emperor Wanli that she had no political acumen after being protected for so many years. She didn't even know how sinister the court was.
It’s too hard to cooperate with such people.
If she wasn't the best bait, Zhu Youxiao would have just let Dong Lin "bite her to death".
Concubine Zheng’s only thought is to seek the position of Queen Mother, and she will not give in easily.
Zheng Yangxing, on the other hand, is a coward. If he is frightened and deceived by the Donglin Party, there is a high chance that he will be cowarded and surrender, or there is a small chance that he will jump over the wall.
Historically, of course he compromised and ran away, but I, Zhu Youxiao, want him to jump over the wall and make things worse.
It is estimated that in a few days, they will come to ask me to save them.
Yang Lian, Wang Wenyan... I heard that you are very courageous and smart, and you have risen up in one fell swoop.
Then I will also come to stir up trouble and see who will end up with power and fame?
