"Minister Li, what should I do next to control the situation? Please teach me?" The emperor humbly asked for advice.
Li Shaoquan pondered for a few minutes and then said,""Your Majesty, the current few ministers are all the Empress Dowager's people. Since the Empress Dowager had already passed away, then His Majesty only needed to appease them and take them in. The only thing he had to worry about was the Gong Prince's faction. Although the Gong Prince had been removed from his position, his influence was still not to be underestimated.”
The emperor nodded. Although he wasn't very satisfied with the current military officials, he knew that he couldn't touch them easily before his power was stable.
On the contrary, he had to win them over and appease them to ensure the smooth transfer of power in the Ming Empire.
In addition, although the Gong Prince's faction was suppressed by the Empress Dowager, their influence was not weak. If they took advantage of the chaos to seize power, they would be in big trouble.
"Minister Li, the capital camp is no longer reliable. Not only is their combat strength weak, but they may not be loyal to Zhen. Take this one's decree and mobilize a portion of the Huai Army into the capital to stabilize the situation!”said the emperor of Guang Dong.
"Tsk, this subject obeys the decree!" Li Shaoquan replied immediately.
Under the current circumstances, they needed a reliable force to control Yan Jing. This way, they could ensure a stable transfer of power and ensure that no one would take the risk.
"Your Majesty, this subject can send the troops of the Jin Guards General Nie Shicheng into the capital. There are a total of fifteen battalions of cavalry and infantry, with more than 7,500 people.”Li Shaoquan said.
"Alright, let's do that!" The emperor had no objections.
He remembered that in another time and space, Nie Shicheng was a hero who led his army to fight against the Japanese and the foreign devils. In the end, he even died on the battlefield. To the Ming Empire, to the entire nation, he could be considered loyal.
Although the combat strength of the Huai Army had already decayed and regressed quite a bit. However, compared to the masters of the Eight Banners, he was still much stronger. Those Eight Banners descendants only knew how to fight cocks and walk birds. They had probably forgotten about the riding and archery skills passed down by their ancestors.
If the Ming Empire relied on these guys, there would be no hope at all.
"Emperor, this official suggests that there is still one person that we must rope in.”Li Shaoquan continued.
"Who is it?" Emperor Guang Dong asked.
"Nine Gates Admiral Fu Kun. Although the combat strength of the Jing camp was not very good, it could still play a certain deterrent role at the critical moment!”
"Alright, Zhen will summon him immediately!" The emperor nodded repeatedly.
After that, the Emperor of Guang Dong summoned the Nine Gates Admiral Fu Kun overnight.
Fu Kun was also a smart person. Although his ability was not that great, he still had the ability to adapt to the situation.
He also knew that the Empress Dowager of the West was dead, so the Emperor of Guang Dong would naturally take over. If he didn't join the Emperor of Guang Yue now, would he become his enemy? If that was the case, wouldn't he be courting death?
Therefore, Fu Kun immediately expressed his loyalty to the Emperor of Guang Yue, claiming that he would obey the Emperor's orders.
The emperor was very satisfied with Fu Kun's understanding.
Li Shaoquan and Fu Kun had joined him one after another. This meant that the Yan Jin army, as well as the Ming Empire's most powerful Huai Army, were already in his hands.
No one would be able to fight him anymore.
There was no problem for him to control this country!
The emperor looked at the sky outside. It was almost dawn.
At this time, he could not care less about sleeping.
"Little Hao, set off for Chuxiu Palace! Those dog slaves actually didn't report the news to me. They were simply too bold!”The emperor ordered.
"Yes, sir!" Zhang Haojie quickly replied.
Thus, a group of eunuchs and palace maids escorted the Emperor of Guang Dong to Chuxiu Palace.
At this moment, in Chuxiu Palace, the eunuchs and serving girls were kneeling on the ground.
In a side hall, six ministers of military affairs had gathered. Everyone, including Minister Shiduo, had an ugly expression on their faces.
They were all supported by Empress Dowager Xi! Now that the Empress Dowager was dead, wouldn't they be in great danger?
One had to know that party struggles had always been very terrifying. He might even lose his life.
King Liqin yawned and looked at the crowd,""Everyone, what should we do next? The sun was about to rise, and the news could not be hidden.”
"Your highness, the Empress Dowager's death is too strange. She was clearly poisoned. If word got out, it would probably cause a huge uproar and even cause the country to be in turmoil!”Ele and Bu said.
"Yes, Your Highness. This matter had to be kept a secret.”Zhang Zhiwan said.
Shiduo nodded. Of course, he knew this.
"Then what about the following court affairs? The Empress Dowager had been in charge of everything previously. Who should we listen to next?"
The ministers were silent. This was indeed a big problem.
