"Milord, we must do something to let Zhu Ke understand that even if he is the commander now, without our support, he is still nothing!”
Zheng Yangxing said angrily.
Luo Sigong suddenly came to a realization and could not help but laugh.
It was obvious that the young general Zhu Ke who had suddenly risen to prominence in the border region had some interest in him and wanted to take him in.
He should also consider that a young man like Zhu Ke, who had just become a crown prince and was already in a high position, would definitely be unruly and afraid that the olive branch he threw out would be rejected.
Therefore, he decided to grind down this young man's edges first.
And the Embroidered Uniform Guards became the whetstone for the person in the palace.
Did he really take Luo Sigong for a fool?
Not to mention that he already knew Zhu Ke's identity, even if he didn't know, he, Luo Sigong, was the Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guards.
Why should I be a whetstone for the Zheng Corporation?
Although the Zheng family was reinstated by the Emperor, what benefits could they give Luo Sigong?
Being the Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guards was already the highest achievement in his career.
The imperial court would never allow a commander of the Brocade Guard to have a higher authority because it was very dangerous.
During the Yongle period, Ji Gang once had such improper thoughts, so he died a miserable death.
From then on, it would be good enough if the Commander of the Brocade Guards could settle down safely.
It was impossible. The Emperor would not give it to him, and the Imperial Court would never approve it.
Since he knew that Zhu Ke was the eldest prince Zhu Changluo, it was even more impossible for Ji Gang to be a tool for the Zheng family. However, it was not good to be direct. Luo Sigong pondered for a moment and said with a smile,"Don't worry, there's no need for us Embroidered Uniform Guards to do anything.”
Zheng Yangxing frowned suspiciously.
Luo Sigong said,"The central government will let a young general from the Embroidered Uniform Guards control 20,000 elites in a short period of time."”
Hearing this, Zheng Yangxing suddenly understood.
They thought of Zhu Ke's identity as a hundred household of the Embroidered Uniform Guards, but forgot the relationship between the Embroidered Uniform Guards and the central court officials.
This opposing relationship had never been broken in the 200 years since Hongwu's founding!
Royal Guards supervise the officials.
All the officials regarded the Brocade Guards as a thorn in their side. In the past two hundred years, the courtiers had tried several times to overthrow the Northern Town's Yamen and persuade the Emperor to completely abolish the Brocade Guards.
Unfortunately, the Embroidered Uniform Guards were too large.
It was so big that even the emperor could only think of ways to control the Embroidered Uniform Guards, this behemoth, for his own use.
He did not dare to have the thought of disbanding the Jinyiwei.
Because this involved thousands of people, and the interests were intertwined.
If they were not careful, there was a risk of overturning the dynasty.
"Your Excellency is wise. In this case, our Embroidered Uniform Guards can just watch the show and let Zhu Ke understand that without the support of our Embroidered Uniform Guards, he is nothing!”
Zheng Yangxing's face lit up as he complimented.
Luo Sigong smiled and sent Zheng Yangxing away.
He looked at Zheng Yangxing's back as he left and could not help but laugh.""If you knew that Zhu Ke was the Eldest Prince, would you still have the intention to rope him in?”
Luo Sigong shook his head.
He was extremely curious about Zhu Changluo.
What was the reason that made Zhu Changluo decide to leave the upper-level central and take the lower-level practical route?
The path that Zhu Changluo was taking now was a practical path that required the lowest level to take one step at a time.
Who gave this Eldest Prince the idea?
Luo Sigong couldn't tell which path was better or worse.
Originally, Zhu Changluo had the full support of the court officials, but now, only a portion of the court officials still supported him.
On the other hand, Shen Yiguan and the others had already begun to draw closer to the Third Prince.
The Emperor even asked the Third Prince to listen to the Confucian minister's lecture in the Hall of Cultural Splendor.
Without the support of the highest authority in the central government, Zhu Changluo's path was not easy.
On the contrary, because of the Eldest Prince's departure, the Third Prince's path to power was very fast and easy.
Now, not only did everyone in the palace like this cheerful and generous Third Prince.
Even outside the palace!
Just as Luo Sigong was pondering the reason why Zhu Changluo had left the Forbidden City and taken the practical path, and who would become the Supreme Martial Artist in the end…
At the cabinet office.
The cabinet ministers who received Zhu Ke's memorial had a fierce debate about the ownership of Ye He Tribe.
"The Ye He Tribe being able to submit to the Great Ming is a matter worthy of celebration for this dynasty. Moreover, the Ye He Tribe came because of Zhu Ke's reputation. I think we can temporarily let Zhu Ke take over the ten thousand cavalry elites of the Ye He Tribe.”The Minister of Rites, Zhang Wei, suggested after reading the memorial.
During Zhang Juzheng's reign, Zhang Wei was demoted from the capital because he could not stand Zhang Juzheng's strictness and leniency.
Although he was standing on the opposite side of Zhang Juzheng.
However, he was also a court official who was inclined to reform.
After Zhu Yijun ascended the throne, he dealt with Zhang Juzheng, but he did not completely hand over the court to the Conservatives.
They also used some officials who were inclined to reform and sympathized with the reform.
For example, Zhang Wei, Zhao Zhigao, and Yu Shenxing were such people.
Zhang Juzheng was Yu Shenxing's teacher, and the two of them had a master-disciple relationship.
This was also one of the reasons why Zhu Yijun was able to firmly control the central government and the overall situation of the world despite not going to court for several years.
"No!" Ye Xianggao immediately stood up to object." Zhu Ke is already building a 10,000-strong military camp. If we hand over 10,000 elite cavalry of Ye He to him, he will have 20,000 troops at his age. I'm afraid he will be too powerful to be taken down!"”
"I don't particularly agree with it either." Shen Yiguan, who had been silent all this while, said in a deep voice,""Everyone, don't forget Zhu Ke's identity as an Embroidered Uniform Guard!”
Everyone's eyes narrowed.
Jinyiwei.
The civil officials of the Ming Dynasty were very afraid of this organization that could develop their concubines into spies.
The Royal Guards are in charge of weapons.
This had always been a taboo!
Shen Yiguan had hit the nail on the head.
He could use Zhu Ke to eradicate the Reformist Party, but he definitely wouldn't allow someone with a noble background to control the army.
Zhao Zhigao looked at Shen Yiguan, then at the Minister of War, Shi Xing,"Gongchen, you are the Minister of War. Since you don't agree to Zhu Ke controlling the elite cavalry of the Ye He Division, do you have any candidates?”
Shi Xing pondered for a moment and suggested," The Ye He Tribe and Jianzhou Aisin Gioro are mortal enemies. Li Rusong has reported to the court several times. In recent years, the Jianzhou Jurchen almost annexed all the Jurchen tribes of the Nuergan Dusi. The Donghai Jurchen were also beaten by the Jianzhou Jurchen and could only struggle to survive.”
"The Jurchen are powerful. I request the imperial court to increase the military strength of Liaodong to prepare for the construction of slaves!”
"Coincidentally, Li Rusong's third brother, Li Ruzhen, is an assistant minister in the Ministry of War. The Li family's father and son are all people who know about military affairs.”
"Then, it will be under the control of Liaodong, allowing the Jurchen of the Ye He tribe to face their feud, the Jurchen of Jianzhou.”
Humph!
Yu Shenxing couldn't help but snort coldly." No matter how powerful Slave Jian is, isn't it because the Li father and son raised bandits to gain self-respect?!"”
"I don't agree with giving the Li father and son more authority! This would only fuel the Li father and son's ambitions!”
Shen Yiguan smiled and said," Don't be angry. If we increase Li Rusong's military strength, he will have to do something. If he continues to do things, the Jianzhou Jurchen will continue to expand. Wouldn't the court have an excuse?”
Everyone was silent.
A moment later, they nodded.
Just as the cabinet had finished writing the regulations for them to handle this matter and sent them to the ceremonial supervisor, waiting for the emperor's approval to use the seal.
The news spread like wildfire.
As the Left Assistant Minister of the Ministry of War, Li Ruzhen, who was about to take charge of the elite cavalry, immediately sent this good news back to Liaodong.
Li Ruzhen was even more prepared to leave for Taiping Village. He would leave immediately after the ceremonial supervisor put on the red robe.
At this moment, everyone in the direction of Ji Sect was kept in the dark.
