Chapter 11: Forming a Military Cabinet (1)
After the morning court, Zhu Yinglong did not go to the Taihe Palace as usual, but went directly to the Xuqin Palace. Last night, he almost used his strength to ask Zhou Yingning for his body and went to the court early. At this moment, women need a warm chest to rely on the most.
Maybe the two of them were too crazy last night. After Zhu Yinglong got up and looked at him, Zhou Yingning fell asleep again. It was not until Zhu Yinglong came down and came to him that she was awakened by her personal palace maid Xiaolin.
When Zhou Yingning learned that the emperor had come, she hurriedly ordered Xiaolin to stop her. She wanted to get up to greet her, but Xiaolin obviously could not stop Zhu Yinglong's steps. Before Zhou Yingning could get up, she was pushed back by Zhu Yinglong.
Zhu Yinglong could only stay here for a while and told Zhou Yingning to rest more. He would come to accompany her tonight, and then he would go back to the Palace of Yangxin.
The first thing he did when he returned to Yangxin Palace was to ask Xu Yingyuan to call Zhou Huaian over.
Zhou Huaian walked into the Yangxin Hall and saw Zhu Yinglong sitting upright on the dragon chaise. He hurried forward to perform a kneeling ceremony and said, "My dear commander Zhou Huaian, please invite the sages!"
"I'm fine, I'm fine. From now on, come here to see me. All these bad rules will be exempted!" Zhu Yinglong said.
"I obey the order!" Zhou Huaian knew Zhu Yinglong's temper. If he had changed to another minister, he would have refused. In their eyes, he would have violated these etiquette and laws, which would have been disrespectful to the emperor.
"I ask you, why did you raise the matter of Cui Ningxiu during the morning court?" Zhu Yinglong asked suddenly with a tense face.
"I suspect that someone in the court informed Mao Wenlong, so I deliberately brought this matter out in the morning court, inducing the informed person to appear automatically!" Zhou Huaian replied.
"Then why didn't you discuss with me in advance and make this decision?" Zhu Yinglong said a little dissatisfied. He asked Zhou Huaian to do something secretly about Cui Ningxiu. Now all the civil and military officials in the court knew about it. Although it was nothing, he felt a little uncomfortable.
"Please forgive me for your crime. I originally wanted to discuss with the emperor in advance, but I went to Xuqin Palace last night. I dare not go to disturb me. Today is a dynasty. I missed this opportunity. I have to wait four days later if I want to catch this person who informed me." Zhou Huaian explained that it was too tiring for the emperor to go to court every day, so Zhu Yinglong ordered the reform of the dynasty every five days, mainly discussing some more important matters. Officials above the fifth rank in Beijing must be listed. In the middle, the court officials will go to the cabinet if they have any matters, and the cabinet will report the matter to him. He also goes to the cabinet every afternoon to sit in the cabinet for a while, and the rest are dealing with state affairs in the Yangxin Hall. This is basically the life of the emperor Zhu Yinglong.
"Do you have any clues?" Zhu Yinglong's heart moved. Someone in the court informed Mao Wenlong that he had expected this, but he had just as soon as he was the first to be a treasure. It turned out that some of the ministers who had been retained should not attack them. They always had to see this person clearly and see through it. There were also many loyal ministers among them who were loyal to the court.
"Weichen thinks that Zhou Tingru, the Right Assistant of the Ministry of Rites, is the most suspicious. There is also a head of the Ministry of Rites named Li Yuangong, who is his confidant. I have investigated many times and found that Li Yuangong has close contacts with Dengzhou's letters, but the letters they have been exposed to burned tin seals. Weichen cannot see what is written in it."
"And every time the court discusses the matter in Dongjiang, Zhou Tingru has a clear intention to protect Mao Wenlong. And every time the court makes a decision about Dongjiang, Mao Wenlong seems to have learned the news in advance, so the ministers began to doubt him."
"According to you, Zhou Tingru is a bit suspicious. Although you have good intentions, this time you are good at making decisions. If Mao Wenlong is alarmed, you know that this has caused me a lot of trouble!" Zhu Yinglong knew that Zhou Huaian was definitely not the kind of self-righteous and complacent person. If Zhou Wenyuan was by his side, he would definitely stop him from acting recklessly.
"You wait and see. If Mao Wenlong wants to submit a memorial to defend himself, it means that he still has some concerns about the court and me. If this news sinks to the sea, then he will be fearless." Zhu Yinglong pointed out Zhou Huaian.
"Your Majesty, I know I am wrong!" Zhou Huaian knelt down with regret on his face. Why can't he calm down? Political struggle is much more complicated than military struggle. It's because he imagines it too simple.
"Actually, it's good that you do this. At least let me know what Mao Wenlong's attitude towards me, and he has a clear idea of how I will deal with it in the future." Zhu Yinglong said with a sneer in the corner of his mouth.
"Emperor, the Right Minister of Rites..."
"Let him go, don't touch him for the time being, just send someone to secretly monitor him."
"If the emperor has nothing else, I will surrender." Zhou Huaian was uneasy and thought he had done something wrong, and thought he could get a reward or something. Unexpectedly, he almost ruined the emperor's major affairs. When did he become so eager to seek merit? I don't think this was the same as Zhou Huaian in the past. I must reflect on it when I go back.
"Wait!" Zhu Yinglong suddenly remembered something and called Zhou Huaian who was about to withdraw and said, "Shen Xi's wife, Shen Wu, and her two children, where did you arrange them?"
Zhou Huaian was startled and thought he was going to punish him. When he heard that it was not his business, he hurriedly said: "I have arranged for them and the 148 members of the Shen family to live in the residence of King Xin Qian, where the emperor lives in the capital."
Zhu Yinglong nodded after hearing this, "You did a good job in this."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"You go and send the order to let that Shen Qianqian enter the palace." Zhu Yinglong suddenly remembered that there was such a big hidden danger, so he naturally tied it in his own hands first. When he found a chance, he still had to use the Thunder heavy hand.
Zhou Huaian immediately took the order to withdraw from the Palace of Yangxin.
"Xu Yingyuan!" Zhu Yinglong suddenly felt that this was not enough. After thinking for a long time, he called out to Xu Yingyuan who was standing beside him.
"The slave is here!"
"Go, pass on my will, and ask Shen Rui to report to the Ministry of Revenue immediately, tell Mr. Sun that even if the person I recommend, let him start from the lowest level, don't give me any care because of my relationship, do you know?" Zhu Yinglong thought for a while, Shen Xi had given all his money to him, and it was worth helping him raise his son. Shen Rui and Shen Qianqian, the brother and sister, although their mother is a descendant of Lan Yu, and marrying Shen Xi has an ulterior motive, they are still Shen Xi's flesh and blood. They can't let them follow their mother with ulterior motives on a path of no return!
At the same time, Zhu Yinglong also wanted to play a long line to catch big fish, and he played the role of trying to get uprooted the Lan treason group that had been hidden in the Ming Dynasty for more than two hundred years!
From the moment she entered Beijing, she thought she had a great opportunity, but she didn't know that she was still under house arrest after she arrived in Beijing. Although a pair of two girls were by her side, she just didn't dare to tell them the truth. Ambition that had lasted for more than two hundred years was so important to the Lan family. It was important that all descendants who had the blood of the Lan surname gave everything for it. Chen Wu was the endorsement of this tragedy, but she didn't know it yet.
With her wisdom, she had guessed that the king of Xin, who had served her husband, had ascended the throne as emperor, but she had never seen her husband. Her heart sank day by day and lost contact with the Lan family. Until today, the emperor issued an order to let his daughter Chen Qianqian enter the palace. Then his son was ordered to serve in the Ministry of Revenue. Everything was understood, which made her see hope again and see that the Lan family would become the master of this beautiful country. She was also lifted from house arrest and given to a house.
