Looking at Yang Tinghe's melancholy look on his face, Liu Jian said to Li Dongyang: "Can he become Tang Bohu's shackle?"

"Never underestimate young people." Li Dongyang continued: "One day Yang Tinghe will enter the cabinet. If Zhu Houzhao ascended the throne, Tang Bohu and others will be with the crown prince for many years, they will likely be extremely powerful in the future! The cabinet has always represented civil officials in the world to restrict the imperial power, so we need young people and ministers like Yang Tinghe to restrict Tang Bohu! At least we cannot let Tang Bohu do whatever he wants."

"From a point, you, Li Dongyang, seem to be hostile to Tang Bohu." Liu Jian said.

Li Dongyang said again: "I am not hostile to Tang Bohu! But there are too many people who are hostile to Tang Bohu. I have made this young man die in the verbal criticism of literati, so I want Yang Tinghe to enter the cabinet, hoping that there will be tricks in the future to limit Tang Bohu one day!"

"If it is an enemy, I hope Tang Bohu will have an opponent in the future! Yang Tinghe is the most suitable candidate for this opponent."

Liu Jian nodded, "Old Master Li is so hardworking and is afraid that Tang Bohu is a ungrateful wolf."

Li Dongyang shook his head and smiled bitterly.

On the other side of the palace, Zhu Youzhang persuaded Queen Zhang who had just wanted to hang herself, "Why are you so impulsive!"

Queen Zhang sobbed and said, "I am incompetent! I have not educated my younger brother well, and I have done such a traitor. My Zhang family has always been thanked by the saints and dare not do anything beyond anything. Now my younger brother's actions have made my Zhang family bear the emperor's grace. Your Majesty only asks for death."

He Ding stood quietly and looked coldly, wondering whether this Queen Zhang was really crying or fake.

"You and I are husband and wife!" Zhu Youzhang continued: "A couple will have a hundred days of kindness in one day. As for Shouning Hou, he was just confused for a while, but now this matter is not that simple. Don't worry, I will give you an explanation."

"Your Majesty!" Queen Zhang cried.

Zhu Youzhang continued, "Don't worry, I will definitely find out!"

The bitter autumn wind in the quiet Forbidden City blew Zhu Youting's bun, "He Ding, do you know why Xu Pu wants to be Gao Lao at this time?"

He Ding is a smart man. As for why Zhu Youzhang asked this question? He already understood everything. Since Zhu Youzhang married the queen, many ministers have advised and dissuaded him. Zhu Youzhang has always been partial to Empress Zhang's family, and even named his father-in-law Shangzhuguo.

Today, there was a turbulent undercurrent in the court, but He Ding could see that Zhu Youzhang did not want to lose his wife and depose the queen? It was impossible to do it just by the mouths of those civil servants.

"I'll go check now!" He Ding said.

"Stop!" Zhu Youzhang called He Ding and continued, "Xu Pu is old, so you should pay attention to your proper attitude when doing things!"

A trace of doubt flashed in He Ding's eyes and then he knelt on the ground and said, "Old slave."

Zhu Youzhang continued: "Call Mou Bin to me, and pass on my decree to let Tang Bohu and the prince return to Beijing!"

"Yes!" He Ding said retreat.

This year's autumn is very cold. He Ding tightened his robes and Zhu Youzhang's already understands it very well. He returned to his Dongchang Admiral's Mansion. Xu Pu should pay attention to his sense of duty when he is old! He Ding naturally understands the meaning of the current emperor. Xu Pu has too many wings in the court.

Now that the sudden resignation of his post will inevitably cause some turmoil in the Ming Dynasty, and Xu Pu wanted to use this to create momentum for the deposed Empress Zhang, which made Zhu Youtang in a dilemma.

Since Zhu Youzhang himself hinted like this, He Ding could not do nothing! Why did he suddenly resign? Naturally, he had to find a reason for resigning. Xu Pu said this reason, and the civil officials in the court did not say it, but the evidence found by the East Factory was final. As for what kind of evidence was found, Zhu Youzhang also gave a hint.

This is not the first time that Dongchang has done something like fabricating a crime. The existence of Dongchang is also to relieve the emperor of trouble. Xu Pu resigned and wanted to create momentum. He used his resignation to threaten Zhu Youzhang to depose the queen. How did Empress Zhang offend him, Xu Pu, the old guy?

But no matter what, He Ding, as the admiral of the East Factory, has an advantage that his eyeliners are spread all over the capital and can see almost every corner of the capital!

If you want those civil officials who support Xu Pu to keep silent, you only need one way! You Xu Pu is a role model? If you are a corrupt official, how many people will you support you?

However, Zhu Youzhang also said, "Xu Pu is old, so you should pay attention to your proper attitude when doing things!"

He Ding smiled bitterly and said to himself: "If Tang Bohu was with him, there would definitely be a better way. You, Xu Pu, have been in the cabinet for so many years, and now you want to resign from your post? How easy is it? This time Xu Pu is afraid that he will lose a layer of skin! But since Your Majesty doesn't want to make a big deal, he will save Xu Pu's life!"

"Come!" He Ding ordered loudly.

Several banners from the East Factory came hurriedly, "I have met the factory supervisor!"

"Find all the people who are related to Xu Pu, and don't even let anyone go of the cabinet!" He Ding sat on the Grand Master's chair.

"Yes!" Several Dongchang's banners were ordered, but they were a little nervous. Cabinet! That is the core of civil servants, and Dongchang wants to intervene in the cabinet!

On this day, the East Factory team was acting nervously and quickly. A conspiracy was quietly unfolded under the operation of the East Factory under the hint of Zhu Youzhang.

There has always been a saying in the Ming Dynasty that the king and his ministers rule the world together! But the emperor is not blind. The existence of the Dongchang and the Jinyiwei is meaningful. The purpose is to balance this point in a certain sense and balance the monarch and the ministers' power. During the Hongwu period, Zhu Yuanzhang founded the Jinyiwei to consolidate his imperial power.

At this moment, Xu Pu threatened Zhu Youzhang's imperial power with the threat of revenge! Xu Pu has formed a private party in recent years and has too many gangs. Zhu Youzhang understands this, so he has always been silently trying to erase Xu Pu's power little by little. Since Xu Pu wants to take action now, Zhu Youzhang can only cut the mess quickly!

If Xu Pu loses this time, the power of the court may be reshuffled. If Xu Pu wins this time, the power of ministers will overshadow the power of the emperor. This is what Zhu Youzing doesn't want to see! This matter has nothing to do with Empress Zhang's family, it is just a game between the power of the emperor and the power of the ministers.

Shouning Hou and Empress Zhang just ignited the lead of the bomb.

The commander of the Jinyiwei, Mou Bin, walked into the Qianqing Palace and knelt in front of Zhu Youzhang on one knee, "My minister of the Jinyiwei, please pay homage to Your Majesty!"

"Get up," Zhu Youzhang said while looking at the memorial: "How is Shouning Hou living in Dali Temple Prison now?"
