"Father will enter the palace to meet the Saint tonight. If there are any noble who dare to cause trouble at this time, just suppress them!”
Zhang Weixian understood that this was a chance for his son to show off in front of the Emperor.
It was a chaotic and dangerous period. If anyone was careless, they would be beheaded.
No matter who it was, no matter what privilege it was, if one took a wrong step, no matter who it was, they would die!
Now that the situation was on Tian Zi's side, the situation created by Dong Lin and Xun Gui was simply too weak.
"Father, I understand!" Zhang Zhiji said with a solemn expression.”
After saying that, Zhang Weixian hurried to the palace in a carriage!
Zhu Youjian, who had already eaten dinner, was taking a walk with the Empress and Imperial Sister-in-law in the garden where exotic flowers and plants were blooming.
Smelling the pleasant fragrance of the flowers, Zhu Youjian felt quite emotional.
"Your Majesty, the Duke of England requests an audience!"
Wang Chengen really didn't expect Zhang Weixian to actually understand the mystery. He really couldn't be underestimated.
Everyone said that Zhang Weixian was a bold man who never gave face to anyone. He was a simple-minded person with strong limbs.
Now, it seemed that the world had been deceived by him!
"Bring him in!"
With that, Zhu Youjian accompanied the Empress and Imperial Sister-in-law to rest in the pavilion!
Empress Zhang Yan said in surprise,"The Duke of England has made great contributions to our royal family. Your Majesty must not treat him poorly!"”
If it were any other emperor, Zhang Yan might not have said that.
All emperors were extremely suspicious, but Zhu Youjian was not one of them!
Zhu Youjian was brought up by her and had a very good relationship with her!
The Empress smiled." Sister-in-law, the current situation doesn't allow others to interfere. They don't have the courage to do so."”
Ever since Zhu Youjian ascended the throne, he had not made a move, but now he had made a move, especially in the case of treason.
The Empress and Empress Yi 'an were shocked when they learned that Dong Lin had plotted against the former Emperor, but the truth was the truth.
Empress Yi 'an, who had originally had a good impression of Dong Lin, was now completely disheartened, and the empress loathed Dong Lin even more.
Empress Yi 'an and the Empress came to the Palace of Heavenly Purity together to inquire about the case!
They wanted to hear it from Zhu Youjian. The others definitely didn't know as much as Tian Zi.
After the rebellion, Zhu Youjian lived and ate in the Palace of Heavenly Purity. Other than Zhu Youjian's confidants, no one knew the details.
Zhu Youjian smiled." After I ascended the throne, I had doubts about the late emperor's death. I won't act rashly until I have investigated it thoroughly."”
Empress Yi 'an said bitterly," BenGong also misunderstood the previous emperor. I really didn't expect the court to be so chaotic. Even the emperor has to guard against the murder of his subjects."”
After understanding the details of the case, Empress Yi 'an discovered that Tianqi was not a fatuous ruler. The reason why he did wooden work all day was to numb the enemy.
He learned that Han Xiong was also one of the insiders. Although he did not participate in the murder of the late emperor, his crime was unforgivable!
No wonder she was fooled by Han Xiong, so she stupidly questioned Zhu Youjian.
If Zhu Youjian was a heartless emperor, she would not have a good ending either.
He could even find an excuse to kill her along the way.
Zhu Youjian sighed,"The Zhu family is too good to these officials and gentry!"
Ever since the founding fathers and founding fathers, no other ruler could suppress these civil officials!
As a result, these civil officials became more and more arrogant, and the Ming Dynasty embarked on the old path of the Song Dynasty.”
"Your Majesty, I…" Zhang Yan looked at Zhu Youjian.
Zhu Youjian stopped her." Sister-in-law, don't blame yourself. It's not because of you. It's because the civil officials are good at fooling people."
Hehe, they were all a group of thieves and prostitutes. They pretended to be one and carried another. This was their usual method.”
Zhang Yan was also very glad that Zhu Youjian did not listen to her and was not fooled by the civil officials.
After ascending to the throne, he calmly grasped the authority in his hands and placed his pieces step by step, which led to his current victory.
If Zhang Yan wasn't a girl and was Empress Yi 'an, if she was the monarch, she would also want to skin Li Sancai alive.
A little!
Zhang Weixian had been led to the pavilion by Wang Chengen!
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
"British Justice!"
Zhu Youjian had a very good impression of the British Duke. Although the British Duke also had a large number of shops in the capital, he did not participate in the civil officials 'interest groups.
In the past two hundred years, the British government had a million acres of land and a hundred shops.
His annual income was five hundred thousand taels of silver!
However, the Duke of England was extremely strict with his servants and rarely harmed the people!
In the circle of dignitaries, the British public has done very well.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"May I know why Old Duke has come?”
Zhu Youjian also wanted to know if the Duke of England was here to plead for the Duke of Cheng.
If that was the case, then this old man would not be of much use.
"Your Majesty," Zhang Weixian said,"this old minister has come to request a position. I hope that Your Majesty will allow this old minister to participate in the reorganization of the three camps. I've been holed up at home all day, and I've almost fallen ill.”
"Old Duke, aren't you afraid that the other nobles will be jealous?”
"Hmph, what does this old minister have to fear? I will kill whoever dares to stop His Majesty's military reform!
The three battalions are in my hands. Although I have the intention to reorganize them, they are deeply intertwined and have complicated relationships.
It was indeed better for His Majesty to directly abolish them and re-establish a new army!
This way, not only could they increase their fighting strength, but they could also cut off Xun Gui's control over the three battalions.”
Zhu Youjian couldn't help but laugh." It seems that everyone outside is saying that you're a bold man. You don't know how to use your brain and only know how to act recklessly."
However, I have never thought so. That is why I did not let you participate in my decision to abolish the three battalions.
He was also worried that the disgruntled dignitaries inside would force him to abdicate. If such a situation occurred, the old Duke could come out and preside over it.”
"The situation is already set," said Zhang Weixian."Those bastards from Donglin are almost all dead.
This is great. We martial officials finally have a day to stand out. We are no longer noble in literature and lowly in martial arts.”
Zhu Youjian paused and thought for a moment before saying,""When this case is over, I will have other great use for the old Duke.”
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Then I will take my leave!"
Zhang Weixian could tell that Tian Zi didn't bring him up to the core.
The Duke of England had always been neutral and only listened to the Emperor!
He had never been involved in the factions in the court! He only guarded his own territory and ensured that the three battalions of the capital would obey His Majesty's orders without mishaps.
Since His Majesty had already promised him, he could go home and sleep with a relaxed heart.
At the same time, he decided to throw his grandson into the new army. In the future, the three battalions of the capital would be abolished by the Emperor, and only the new army and three guards would be the Emperor's true direct troops.
If they were to act too late now, it would have a huge impact on a noble like his family.
As for those nobles who wanted to cause trouble, he did not mind supporting the Emperor to destroy a few of them.
Many of the nobles in the capital had deep connections with Donglin or other gentry and merchants, and they could no longer be kept.
The nobles should have been united, but because of the benefits of the sea trade and border trade, many nobles had left their circle.
The reason why the nobility gathered together was to check and balance the civil officials.
However, there were some reckless nobles who wanted to collude with the civil officials.
Now that the emperor had the intention to reorganize, he might as well give them a push and send these dignitaries on their way.
As long as he could gain the trust of the emperor, he was not afraid of others making things difficult for him. This was the confidence of old dukes like them.
Zhu Youjian looked at Zhang Weixian who was leaving and couldn't help but praise,""There are still people who are loyal to the Zhu family.
Since the Duke of England had such thoughts, it was time for the old Duke to come out and clean up the mess.
I want to tell these reckless nobles: What I give them is theirs. If I don't give it to them, don't reach out your hand. People will die.”
"Will it cause unrest in the imperial court?" Zhang Yan asked worriedly.”
Zhu Youjian sneered," The Ming Empire has reached a critical moment. The civil officials are rebelling. Even if he was given ten years, he wouldn't have the ability to do so."
As for the nobles, as long as their rights were taken away, they were nothing.
Moreover, it's not like I'm unprepared. It's useless to threaten me with a collective resignation.
If they dare to do so, I will grant their wish. In any case, there is no shortage of talents loyal to me to fill the vacancy.”
