Under Qian Ning's lead, the barbarians from the East Military Bureau raided Yang Tinghe's house overnight.
After checking, he was indeed a corrupt official.
A total of 51 land deeds were found, totaling 850,000 mu of fertile land and countless gold and silver…
All of them were returned to the palace treasury.
When Qian Ning was standing in front of Zhu Houjiu with a heart full of joy and was about to receive his reward, he saw the Emperor's solemn expression and did not have much joy.
He was shocked to find that he couldn't see through that gaze at all. That gaze didn't belong to the youth at all…It made him shudder.
"Your Majesty, Yang Tinghe's henchmen's embezzled assets are currently being dealt with. They will soon be compiled into a book for Your Majesty to see…"
"Qian Ning…"
Zhu Houjin slowly turned around and stared at Qian Ning with a calmness that was different from a young man.
" Yes…" Qian Ning's body turned cold.
"There's a secret report saying that you harmed Wu Zong…"
Boom!
Wu Zong was the Emperor of Zheng De, Zhu Houzhao. As a transmigrator, Zhu Houzhao had read the history of the Ming Dynasty. This eunuch Qian Ning had brought Zhu Houzhao everywhere to play. Zhu Houzhao's drowning had a lot to do with him.
At that time, Qian Ning embezzled a large sum of money.
After Zhu Houzhao returned to the capital, he would definitely be dealt with under the pressure of the cabinet.
Of course, the history of the Ming Dynasty was very vague. After all, there was not much evidence.
However, when Qian Ning heard Zhu Houjin's words, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He was so scared that he knelt on the ground.
"Emperor, this subject is innocent. The late emperor was harmed by Jiang Bin, how would this lowly one dare! Your Majesty, please investigate!"
Cold sweat kept dripping down Qian Ning's forehead. He was really afraid that Zhu Houjiu would treat him like Yang Tinghe…
Although he was a eunuch with the seal of the ceremonial supervisor and controlled the East and West Factories.
However, in front of absolute imperial power, he was just a bug. The emperor could crush him at any time.
Zhu Houjin looked at Qian Ning who was kneeling in front of him and said with a smile,"Get up, I didn't say you killed the emperor and rebelled…"
"I don't dare!"
Qian Ning, who was trembling like a leaf, knelt on the ground with an ashen face.
"Raise your head!"
Qian Ning raised his head and looked at the Emperor in horror.
At this moment, his heart was about to stop beating. He saw a pair of eyes that could see through every detail. It was as if his thoughts had been seen through by the young emperor in front of him.
"Qian Ning."
"Your humble subject is here."
"Where is Wang Yangming?"
"Your Majesty, Wang Yangming is afraid of being punished by Jiang Bin, so he has gone into hiding.”
" I know where he is. Go to Hanshan Temple and find him for me. If you can't bring Wang Yangming back, bring his head to me. There are many people in the palace who want to take your place…"
"I will be at Cold Mountain Temple immediately."
Qian Ning's heart skipped a beat as he thought,""Is this a fifteen-year-old Tian Zi? The art of the Emperor was simply at the pinnacle of perfection. Thinking about it carefully, it was really too terrifying!”
Qian Ning didn't dare to be negligent. His position was the highest position of a eunuch, and many people coveted it.
If he couldn't bring Wang Yangming over, he would naturally be replaced by the emperor. Then, when someone else took over, he would wish he was dead…
————
Zhu Houjie's beheading of Yang Tinghe caused the officials to tremble in fear.
Other than Yang Tinghe, there were also his core henchmen, including four of the six ministers.
Yang Yiqing was automatically promoted to the position of Chief Assistant Minister. He knew that the Emperor did not need a reason to kill anyone.
Now that the cabinet was powerful, he would kill the chicken to warn the monkeys, to warn the others, to intimidate the other ministers and the eunuchs of the ceremonial director.
Looking at the Emperor sitting on the throne, Yang Yiqing's heart tightened. From the Ming Xian Zong until now, he was considered an elder of four dynasties.
However, the current emperor was the most unyielding. The other three were either weak or absurd. They could not be considered the masters of the revival.
Zhu Houyan killed Yang Ting and his henchmen while he started to arrange the battle to destroy the Japanese.
Although Yang Yiqing had already arranged for troops to rush to the five prefectures in the southeast, Zhu Houjin was still not at ease.
He had to personally handle the matters of the Empire's weapons.
It wasn't that Zhu Houjin doubted Yang Yiqing's military capabilities, but that he couldn't put all his assets in one basket.
Otherwise, Yang Yiqing would inevitably become Yang Tinghe. After this group of people tasted the taste of power, they would take the risk.
A ruler must not trust anyone except himself!
A ruler must be in control of the world!
……
Xuanzheng Hall.
The civil and military officials stood on the left and right.
In the hall, one could hear a pin drop.
Only the sound of breathing could be heard.
With his hands behind his back, Zhu Houjin paced back and forth.
Yang Tinghe had fallen, and Yang Yiqing's power had risen. Unlike Yang Tinghe, Yang Yiqing was more honest and upright.
However, governing a country did not rely on honesty and integrity, but on ability.
The most important thing now was that the court needed an official who dared to oppose Yang Yiqing. The Emperor would be in the middle to mediate and decide the state affairs.
If there was no one to check and balance the cabinet, the emperor would have a hard time.
Although Yang Yiqing would not rebel, his power was now so hot that it was inevitable that his disciples would support him like Cao Mengde and rule the court with one hand.
As the emperor, he would become the minister's mascot.
Wang Yangming was a master of the study of the mind. He advocated the unity of knowledge and action.
The important officials in the latter half of the Ming Dynasty were all his fans, but none of his disciples truly understood his thoughts.
More importantly, after Wang Yangming destroyed Prince Ning's rebellion, his reputation was extremely high.
It even caused the cabinet and the ceremonial director to be jealous and wanted to kill him many times.
Therefore, he went into hiding. Through the Ming history of his previous life, Zhu Houjiu knew that he should be hiding in the Cold Mountain Temple outside Gusu City at this time.
However, was this world the same as official history?
Zhu Houyi didn't dare to be sure, but as long as he found Wang Yangming, he could use him as a dagger to reform the powerful scholar-bureaucrats.
Wang Yangming had a very high reputation among the people, and he was personally promoted by him. He would definitely be the most loyal official.
