Zhou Yu's rise to power is inevitable. Even if he doesn't use the Empress Dowager to counterattack the Empress Dowager Sun, he will definitely rise to the top.

It was just that Zhou Yu discovered the Empress Dowager's hidden dissatisfaction with the Empress Dowager Sun just in time, and then used the Empress Dowager's power to confine the Empress Dowager Sun in the Qingning Palace, and also gave the Queen Mother Sun and the Emperor Baozong many times.

The prince-in-law, who had been suppressed but was reused again, took a chance to resist and won over the eunuch Wang Shan who was supposed to be executed and the commander of the Jinyiwei Ma Shun. Only then was he able to control the entire palace.

Zhou Yu could see that Prince Consort Jiao had no objection to the Ming Dynasty, the imperial court, and the Empress Dowager and Zhou Yu, but he was full of resentment towards the Empress Dowager Sun and Emperor Baozong, and he also had endless sorrow in his heart.

Wronged.

The influence of the Empress Dowager on the entire court is far greater than that of the Empress Dowager Sun. It is only that the Empress Dowager Sun's family is dominated by the fact that she has been in the palace all year round and does not care about matters outside the palace.

Just by relying on the word "filial piety", the Empress Dowager can still overpower the Empress Dowager Sun. This is the real family where one elder is like one treasure.

The process of enthroning the throne can be said to be very sloppy, that is, paying homage to the ancestors of heaven and earth, sitting on the dragon throne under the witness of many ministers, and then finishing the work. But let alone Zhou Yu, it is estimated that the ministers below also want to finish the work quickly and it is more important.

It's hard to say what will happen next, but at least it has entered a new stage now. At least with the emperor's various decrees, it can be more justified, and various arrangements can be arranged more smoothly.

But for Zhou Yu, this is the time when all kinds of problems begin to be truly faced. There are too many things waiting for Zhou Yu to deal with, both inside and outside the palace, politics and foreign enemies.

The first is to urge the surrounding armies to speed up and rush to the capital to prepare for war, and to urge the grain transport teams in various provinces to speed up to deal with the Oara threat.

At the same time, the floods in the Yellow River Basin in Daming affected a wide area, and there was a serious shortage of supplies. Although there were appropriate response methods in the early stages of the floods, the losses caused by the bursting of the Yellow River's banks were also very huge, and it also greatly affected the canal.

The efficiency of water transportation and the court's strength in governing, managing and disaster relief in many areas were also a huge drain.

The rebellion that started in Fujian not long ago spread to several provinces. Chen Mao and tens of thousands of elites and auxiliary soldiers under his command have been going to quell the rebellion for nearly a year. Even now, they are still suppressing the remnants of the local rebellion. Even Zhou Yu did not dare to suppress the rebellion.

All the troops there to suppress the rebellion were mobilized back.

In addition, there are constant problems in the southwest, and the war has never stopped. It can be said that the entire Ming Dynasty is full of problems. The degree of internal and external troubles is simply unimaginable. The fiasco of Tumubao really put the Ming Dynasty into a desperate situation.

If the issues of all parties are not handled well, the country will be destroyed sooner or later.

Economically, Ming Dynasty's situation has been in decline due to various reasons. How to recover and develop is also a headache for Zhou Yu. Dealing with this matter is more troublesome than the head-on battle with Wala.

Within the court, after Zhou Yu ascended the throne, voices began to be heard about dealing with the eunuchs. Although Wang Zhen is now dead, some people still want to continue to hold Wang Zhenyu's party accountable, and they even want to take away the rights that the eunuch group now holds.

Get them all.

But the rights of the eunuchs actually represent the rights of the emperor. The purpose that the civil servant group wants to achieve is to weaken the rights of the emperor Zhou Yu. No matter how Zhou Yu behaves, he is definitely not doing this.

Will agree.

The East Factory had been established during the Yongle period, and a favored eunuch was appointed as the governor of the East Factory. The previous governor was Wang Zhen, and now the entire East Factory is temporarily managed by Wang Shanzai. During this period, in addition to secretly supervising the officials, the East Factory was established.

Waike is also very low-key, and the same is true for Jinyiwei. Today's Jinyiwei and Dongchang are also very different from when they were first established. It will take time to rectify them before they can be used by Zhou Yu again.

Also due to the failure of the Battle of Tumubao, the civil servant group in the court is now strong and the general group is weak. If it were not for the threat of Oara, Yu Qian, as the Minister of the Ministry of War, is not only a member of the civil service but also the leader of the generals today.

I am afraid that the generals group will inevitably be suppressed, which leads Zhou Yu to have to consider the issue of enriching the generals group to achieve a balance.

As for the Xungui, many people died because of the relationship between Emperor Baozong. Now the Xungui are the most anxious group in the Ming Dynasty. It can be said that the contradictions between the various forces are also very obvious. If it were not for the fact that the country is about to die, these will be temporarily suppressed.

Problems arising from conflicts in the court will become more acute.

There are too many problems to face, but the time left for Zhou Yu to deal with these problems is too little. The big enemy is ahead and he still has to repel Wala before he can slowly deal with other things.

As soon as he ascended the throne, Zhou Yu went to court quite frequently. Every day he would listen carefully to the various opinions put forward by the courtiers below. If anything sounded outrageous, he would immediately wave his hand. The person who sat on this chair before liked

Zhou Yu didn't know how to listen to politics, but there was one more table in front of him than other emperors.

Whenever he found something useful, he would directly write it down on paper. After leaving the court, Zhou Yu had to discuss military deployment with important ministers. After that, he would read the memorials and continue to discuss various matters with the cabinet.

No hour of the day truly belongs to him.

Wait until dusk and sunset before you can manage to do some things of your own. As long as there are no urgent matters, you can take a good rest.

In the imperial study room, Zhou Yu was lying on his side on the soft couch. Although he was resting, he didn't really care about anything. He still had to read the excerpts that needed to be read, and approved the things that needed to be approved.

Wang Shan stood by Zhou Yu's side obediently, and Xing'an, who had followed Zhou Yu since the palace, was also serving beside him.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Another memorial was thrown aside by Zhou Yu. After reading many memorials, except for the more important matters selected by the cabinet, seven out of ten other memorials were

It was to impeach Wang Zhenyu's party.

After reading so many of them, they were all the same, which already made Zhou Yu a little irritated.

Glancing at Wang Shan who was standing beside him, Zhou Yu sat up, took a sip of tea and said, "Wang Shan."

Wang Shan quickly bowed over and showed a flattering expression to Zhou Yu: "Your Majesty."

Zhou Yu was not in a hurry, and asked slowly: "How many of Wang Zhenyu's gang have you dealt with, and how many of them have surrendered to you?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Shan quickly knelt down and knocked his head on the ground: "I don't dare, slave."

"Get up and talk."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Wang Shan stood up with his legs weak, but his head was lowered and he did not dare to lift it up.

"I ask you the answer." Zhou Yu put down the teacup and said, "Do you think you can hide the things you did from me? How much control do you have of Wang Zhen's remnant party? Do you have any control over Dongchang now?

move."

Wang Shan wiped the cold sweat from his head: "Sixty percent."

"Seventh floor." Zhou Yu nodded slowly and said, "Are they all from the palace?"

"There are also many foreign ministers, but the Dongchang slaves have been completely controlled." Wang Shan spoke quickly and said in a panic: "Your Majesty, I am loyal to Your Majesty. The sun and the moon shine."

"Oh, I do believe that." Zhou Yu smiled and said, "What's going on with the remaining people."

Wang Shan breathed a sigh of relief and quickly replied: "Your Majesty, those people were not very satisfied with this scum Wang Zhen before they were older than me. Moreover, they have the support of the nobles in the palace. There is really nothing I can do against them."

Zhou Yu asked thoughtfully: "How was their relationship with Wang Zhen before?"

Wang Shan did not hesitate: "They are also a group of vassal and powerful people."

"It seems the palace needs to be cleaned up." Zhou Yu waved to Wang Zhen, casually took a few booklets from his hand and threw them to Wang Shan: "Take a look."

Wang Shan started to tremble again and said tremblingly: "I don't dare."

"You can watch it if I tell you to."

Zhou Yu looked at Xing'an: "Xing'an, I'm a little hungry."

Xing'an smiled and said softly: "Your Majesty, the two noble concubines have already sent people to inform the servants before. It's just that your Majesty was still looking at the story just now and didn't dare to disturb the servants."

"No need." Zhou Yu waved his hand and said, "Go and prepare some food."

"Slave, go right away."

Xing'an left, Zhou Yu didn't worry and waited for a while before asking Wang Shan again: "I saw it, what do you think?"

Wang Shan knelt down again and begged in tears: "Your Majesty, please save this slave. I will go through fire and water for Your Majesty."

"If I had followed the wishes of the ministers, you would have died a long time ago." Zhou Yu's tone was very calm, and his words were very relaxed: "But the ministers are right, the eunuchs have too much power and should be dealt with.

There are some people, but now that the enemy is not suitable for making too much noise, you can push a few people out and let the ministers vent their anger."

"Remember, those who are disobedient to discipline are still thinking about the late emperor and want to restore the dead emperor."

Wang Shan nodded quickly: "I understand, slave."

"Also, Dongchang, please watch out for me. You must know that everyone wants you dead except me. Your life and the rights in your hands are all given to you by me. Without me, you are nothing."

"Slave, I remember."

"Yes." Zhou Yu nodded slowly and said, "Just this is not enough to stop the ministers from impeaching you. When I personally go to war, you will follow me, wearing armor and holding a knife. This is what I give you.

Can you understand the opportunity?"

Wang Shan nodded repeatedly: "I understand."

"Go and pick out some loyal people. Whether they are internal or external ministers, they must first and foremost be clean and uninvolved. I want to establish a supervisory agency to monitor hundreds of noble officials. That Shi Heng also arranged for people to keep an eye on me, and then ordered Dongchang to secretly

Investigate the embezzlement of Mexican arms and disaster relief supplies.”

"My slave will go immediately."

Zhou Yu nodded and Wang Shan bowed and left quickly. After a while, Zhou Yu called Ma Shun to him again.

"What's going on with those nobles now?"

Ma Shun knelt down on one knee and said solemnly: "Back to Your Majesty, I sent Jin Yiwei to investigate and found that the nobles have been a bit too noisy recently. In the battle of Tumubao, Emperor Baozong led many nobles to the battlefield and died.

There are too many vacancies, and the nobles are all trying to take back those vacated positions, and there are also private gatherings of nobles to discuss how to rescue the fake that Ye Xian holds."

"Ha." Zhou Yu chuckled and said, "After checking for so long, I can't find out how many people I can use."

Ma Shun took out two lists from his arms and presented them with both hands: "Time is short, I have only identified these people."

One of the two lists is for people who did not participate in the fight, and the other is for those who are not honest. The names on it are not too many, and as Ma Shun said, time was short and he did not have time to investigate more specifically.

Zhou Yu looked at it and nodded slowly: "Just keep an eye on those who have problems. Find out who are the outstanding people in their clan and who are not welcome in the clan. As for these available people,

Please confirm once again that there is no problem, then find a time to notify them to come to the palace to see me."

"I accept my order."

Zhou Yu said: "Also, arrange some people to secretly investigate the corruption of military equipment and disaster relief materials. I also asked Wang Shan to arrange Dongchang to do it, but he does his thing and you do yours. It is best not to let me know about your people.

There is private communication.”

"I don't dare."
