Su Ce took a handkerchief and wiped the tea on the coffee table clean.
The tea pet toad on the coffee table spat out water. The dense smoke and vitality made the hall more peaceful.
After the house had been upgraded, it had the function of nourishing people. Zhu Houzhao had only recovered from the cold, so he felt comfortable sitting here for a while.
"Do you know the power of the civil officials in the court?" Su Ce asked Zhu Houzhao slowly.”
"Even Father doesn't know, let alone me." Zhu Houzhao replied honestly.”
People's hearts could change. No matter how skilled one was in calculation, they could not predict the fickle hearts of people.
"Yeah," Su Ce nodded.
"Since you can't tell the good from the bad, why do you still use them?”
"Just bring in a third party and let him go to the southeast governor to prepare for the Japanese pirates.”
Zhu Houzhao's eyes lit up. What is a third party?"
Su Ce was speechless.
The world belongs to your family, and the imperial court also belongs to your family. You can't even differentiate between the people in your family.
Su Ce said,"Are you stupid? You're a Jinyiwei."”
Zhu Houzhao was stunned for a moment. He slapped his thigh and said excitedly,""Yes, yes! Brother Ce, this is simply a blow to my head. That's right, there's also the Jinyiwei!”
The Brocade Guards naturally did not belong to the group of civil officials and generals, although during the Hongzhi period, the power of the Brocade Guards and the East Intelligence Bureau had been weakened a lot.
However, they were still the emperor's personal army and the closest people.
If the civil officials and generals had other intentions, then the Brocade Guard and the East Chamber were absolutely loyal to the imperial power. Moreover, the civil officials and generals did not like these eagles and hounds. Even if they wanted to please the civil officials, they could not integrate into them.
In fact, at the end of Hongzhi, the governor's candidate for preparing for the Japanese pirates was the commander of the Jinyiwei, who was selected from the Jinyiwei.
Before this, many civil officials sent by the imperial court to the southeast to prepare for the Japanese pirates had been impeached and ousted for one reason or another. It was not that they did not do well, but that the civil officials behind them were fighting for power. They were just the representatives sent to the southeast.
However, when the emperor selected the Jinyiwei to be the governor of the southeast, the situation in the southeast was eliminated in a short period of time.
Zhu Houzhao was very happy. After he had chosen a candidate to prepare for the Japanese pirates in the southeast, he used the excuse that he had something to do and ran away excitedly.
Su Ce shook his head and continued to wipe the water droplets and dust on the coffee table.
……
Forbidden City, Heart-nourishing Hall.
Emperor Hongzhi was looking at the resumes of the officials sent by the Ministry of Personnel.
It was not easy to choose a capable person to go to the southeast. Not only did they have to find someone with a clean background, but they also had to have the ability to coordinate the battlefield.
Zhu Youtang searched for a long time, but he could not find a bureaucrat he was satisfied with. He rubbed his forehead tiredly.
Eunuch Huai 'en hurriedly served tea to Zhu Youtang.
Zhu Youtang's background was very tragic. When he was young, Imperial Concubine Wan was in power. Imperial Concubine Wan was loved by the former emperor. Any pregnant woman in the palace would be poisoned by Imperial Concubine Wan.
Zhu Youtang grew up in such a situation. He met a few noble people who protected him, and Eunuch Huai 'en was one of them.
Therefore, Zhu Youtang trusted Huai 'en very much now.
"Tell me, there are so many officials in the world, why can't there be anyone I can use?”
"When I was Emperor Taizong Wen, how many civil officials and generals were available? Why have the generals declined to this extent?”
"Difficult, very difficult."
"Opening the sea seems simple, but every step is not simple. This son of mine has given me a difficult problem.”
" Emperor," Wynn said with a smile," think of it from another angle. Our Crown Prince has begun to share the country's worries. This is the greatest joy."”
Zhu Youtang smiled gratefully and said,"Not bad."
"Yang Tinghe is a talent. If he is sent to the southeast, he might be able to do something.”
"However, zhen can't bear to part with this mister. If it wasn't for him teaching the Crown Prince well, how could zhen have obtained this Qilin son?”
As the master and servant spoke, Zhu Houzhao ran over with his robe lifted.
"Imperial Father, Imperial Father."
"I understand."
Zhu Youtang glanced at Huai 'en and said with a smile,""Look, this one's Zhan Shi Manor's Zuo Chunfang has taught this one's Crown Prince again.”
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, for getting this gentleman to assist His Highness the Crown Prince."”
Zhu Youtang nodded with a smile and waved at Zhu Houzhao.""My son, slow down. Come here."
"Tell Imperial Father, what have you figured out?”
Zhu Houzhao sat beside Zhu Youtang and drank two mouthfuls of tea before saying,"Didn't Imperial Father ask me why the Imperial Censorate and the Bureau of Military Personnel would quarrel during the court meeting?”
"They all have their own thoughts and don't put the southeast pirates as their top priority.”
Zhu Youtang clapped and said,"Good, good!" That's right. How did you figure it out?”
Zhu Houzhao blinked." Someone told me. He's very powerful. I'll bring my father to meet him tomorrow."”
Zhu Youtang smiled knowingly, but he was a little suspicious. Yang Ting and he could see each other every day, so why would he need your recommendation?
"Father, I know who to choose to go to the southeast to guard against the Japanese pirates.”
"Hmm, who is it?" Zhu Youtang asked curiously.”
"Since the civil and military officials have their own thoughts, we might as well let a third party intervene." Zhu Houzhao analyzed.”
"Embroidered Uniform Guards!"
Jinyiwei?
Zhu Youtang was stunned for a moment. This was something he had never considered.
Before this, he had placed all his attention on the resumes of the officials sent by the Ministry of Personnel. He had never thought that other than civil and military officials, there were also Embroidered Uniform Guards that could be used.
Yes, I have always wanted to find someone with a clean and capable identity to go to the southeast.
Didn't the Jinyiwei meet all the requirements?
The Brocade Guards were the retainers of the royal family. They were innately at odds with the civil and military officials, and the Brocade Guards also had the ability to command.
However, Zhu Youtang was still very curious.
Everyone in the world knew that the civil officials despised the Brocade Guard, and the Brocade Guard also disliked the civil officials.
Why would Yang Tinghe recommend the Jinyiwei?
But soon, Zhu Youtang understood and felt warm in his heart.
Yang Tinghe was different from the other civil officials. He was truly thinking for the sake of the Great Ming Empire. He had thrown away his usual views and was wholeheartedly thinking for the Great Ming Empire.
To be honest, Zhu Youtang was a little touched.
Where could one find such a loyal, far-sighted, and broad-minded civil official?
Zhu Youtang smiled at Zhu Houzhao and said,"What you said makes sense. It has enlightened me."”
Zhu Houzhao had always thought that his father was omnipotent, but he didn't expect Brother Ce's words to wake him up.
Awesome!
Zhu Youtang pondered for a moment and said,"Go and inform the commander of the Royal Guards, Wei Wenli."”
"Yes!"
