"Lord Yang!"
Just as Yang Tinghe lowered his head and pondered Zhu Houjiu's intentions, Zhu Houjiu walked to Yang Tinghe's side in front of all the officials.
"Your Majesty!"
"Alright, Lord Yang need not be so polite!”
"Lord Yang doesn't need to take today's matter to heart. Zhen has always known that Yang Daren is a good official who thinks for Great Ming and works for the welfare of the people. Zhen has always been at ease with you.”
"Especially after I personally handled the political affairs, I feel that the matters in the court are more and more complicated. Because of Lord Yang's help, I was able to manage Big Ming in an orderly manner. If not for Lord Yang's help, I'm afraid that I would have been too busy!”
"Lord Yang can rest assured in the future! I absolutely trust you 100%!”
After Zhu Houxin finished speaking, he called Huang Jin over.
"Pass down my order. After the court session, give Lord Yang a seat!”
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
The officials of the Ming Dynasty were all standing in the court. This time, Zhu Houyou had bestowed a seat to Yang Tinghe, which was a great honor for him. From this, it could be seen how much Zhu Houyou valued Yang Tinghe.
"Your Majesty!"
Although Yang Tinghe understood that Zhu Houjiu was trying to win over the hearts of the people, he still couldn't help but cry.
Zhu Houjian's words were too good, directly speaking to Yang Tinghe's heart. Although Yang Tinghe was an old official of the four dynasties and had power over the world, he was still an official and needed the emperor's approval.
At this moment, the words of this 15-year-old youth in front of him actually made the white-haired old minister, Yang Tinghe, tear up. When the officials in the imperial court saw this, they could not help but be stunned.
"Hehe, Lord Yang, you don't have to be so polite. You have contributed to Great Ming for so many years, it is only right for Zhen to be considerate of you now!”
After Zhu Houjian finished speaking, he smiled at Yang Tinghe.
Huang Jin saw Zhu Hou Xin's intention and called for the court to retreat. Zhu Houzhen then placed his hands behind his back and slowly left Taihe Palace.
"Your Majesty!"
Although Zhu Houjiu had already left, Yang Tinghe was still deeply moved by Zhu Houjiu's words.
"Father!"
After Yang Shen saw this, he hurriedly came up to support Yang Tinghe and said,""Father, you must not fall for it. This is the little Emperor's policy of appeasement!”
"Ah, of course I know!"
Yang Tinghe wiped his tears and said,""However, this little Emperor is really amazing. His words really hit the nail on the head. If this little Emperor had come a few years earlier, I would really be willing to be a loyal minister under him and not be willing to play with power anymore!”
"Father, you…"
Yang Shen looked at Yang Tinghe who was moved by Zhu Houyou and was instantly speechless. Yang Shen also truly did not expect that in just a few days of not seeing him, the little Emperor's power tactics were already so formidable. Even Yang Tinghe was actually persuaded by the little Emperor.
……
"Emperor, why did you demote Zhang Cong and Yan Song? These two are our minions to deal with Yang Tinghe. How can we let them go to Nanjing?”
"Hehe, you still don't understand?"
Zhu Houjin smiled and looked at Lu Bing with confidence.
"Showing weakness to the enemy is just to let the enemy relax their vigilance!”
"Through today's probing, I have already figured out how strong Yang Tinghe's power is. Hehe, although there is still a gap between my current power and his, I can already take action against him!”
"Lu Bing, from now on, we will be in the midst of intense preparations! Train the Embroidered Uniform Guards well. It won't be long before we have a big battle to fight!”
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
After hearing Zhu Houjin's words, Lu Bing felt his blood start to burn.
"Also!"
After taking a few steps, he suddenly thought of something.
"Go tell Zhang Cong and Yan Song to set off for Nanjing tomorrow, but tell them to slow down on the road.”
"What? Emperor, why are you doing this?"
"Hey, Lu Bing, are you stupid?"
Zhu Houjin rolled his eyes at Lu Bing and said,""As you said, they are our minions to deal with Yang Tinghe. We can't really drive them to Nanjing! After they leave the palace, they can show Yang Tinghe and make him feel at ease. We still have to summon them back to fight at any time!”
"Oh, I see. I know!”
Lu Bing chuckled and immediately bid farewell to Zhu Houzhen before running off to inform Zhang Cong and Yan Song.
Everything that had happened today was within Zhu Houyou's expectations. Zhang Cong and Yan Song being demoted by Zhu Houyou was originally arranged by Zhu Houyou to show off to Yang Tinghe.
Through today's test, Zhu Houjiu had thoroughly understood how influential Yang Tinghe was in the court. This way, Zhu Houjin would be able to deal with Yang Tinghe more easily.
Hehe, Yang Tinghe, come on!
Jiang Bin has already been eliminated in this power struggle. There are only the two of us left!
I'm already prepared to show you my knife. Bring out all your strength!
Only one of us can stay in the palace!
……
In the next few days, Zhu Houzhen issued several orders.
First, he announced that he would choose an auspicious day to confer Yang Tinghe the title of Grand Preceptor.
Next, Yang Shen would be promoted to the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and he would have the privilege of participating in cabinet meetings.
In the end, it was Zhu Houzhi who expressed that he wanted to marry Yang Tinghe's daughter and make her the Empress.
Of course, there was only one purpose for Zhu Houlin to do all these things, and that was to numb Yang Tinghe and delay his preparation time, so that he could have a falling out with Yang Tinghe when he was ready.
From the very beginning, Yang Tinghe had planned to marry his daughter, Yang Qingxi, to Zhu Houyou to control him. At that time, Zhu Houzhi had just ascended the throne and had no influence in the court, so he did not dare to easily agree to Yang Tinghe's request.
That was why Zhu Houzhi had brought Fang Qi into the palace, hoping to use her to stop Yang Tinghe.
But now, not only did Zhu Houjin not reject Yang Tinghe's request, he even took the initiative to ask for Yang Tinghe's daughter.
All of this was just to make Yang Tinghe feel at ease and delay his own preparation time.
After all, the Empress could be changed at any time. Even if he married Yang Tinghe's daughter now, after Zhu Houyou defeated Yang Tinghe, he could immediately send Yang Tinghe's daughter to the cold palace and appoint another girl he liked as the Empress.
