Reborn as a tyrant in the Ming Dynasty

It was extremely quiet in Chengguang Hall.

From receiving the emperor's order to rush to Xiyuan, to experiencing all the things in front of him, no one was completely prepared.

The anger shown by the emperor can be clearly felt by everyone.

As for regicide, no one will admit it at all.

This was a capital crime that implicated the nine clans.

The most critical point is that they have never participated, or even thought about it.

However, the emperor successively deposed Zhou Yingqiu, the Minister of Punishment, and Wang Shaohui, the Minister of Personnel. The attitude behind this was extraordinary.

"Your Majesty, I have something to say."

Under such a tense situation, while everyone was waiting and watching, a voice sounded in the hall, making some people tilt their heads.

It's him.

Zhu Youxiao, who was sitting on the throne, frowned slightly when he saw the old man walking out of the court class. Zhu Youxiao had never doubted this old man, and even had respect in his heart.

"explain."

Zhu You's speech is concise and concise.

"I dare to ask your Majesty, sir."

British Duke Zhang Weixian stood still, bowed to the Emperor and said, "Your Majesty is lucky that Xiyuan fell into the water, and he was also assassinated by traitors. Do you want to order someone to block the news?"

"Assassins have sneaked into the inner court, I'm afraid they've been leaked through the sieve long ago."

Zhu Youxiao snorted coldly, looked at Zhang Weixian and said, "Does the British Master think that if I order to block the news, what happened in Xiyuan will not be leaked?"

"I think so, Lao Chen."

Zhang Weixian said without thinking: "That's exactly what happened. The old minister boldly asked His Majesty for advice and arrested all those who were on duty in Xiyuan for strict investigation."

At this point, Zhang Weixian raised his head and stared at Wei Zhongxian with his deep eyes.

"This is no longer a matter for the British public to worry about."

Zhu Youxiao said: "I have ordered the Jinyi Guards to control everyone, but the British Duke reminded me, Uncle Hui'an, Uncle Xuancheng!"

"I'm here~"

"The minister is here."

Hui'an Bo Zhang Qingzhen and Xuancheng Bowei were suddenly called. Their hearts tightened. Under the gaze of many eyes, they quickly walked out of the court class. When they walked to Zhang Weixian, they endured their surprise and said: Worried, he bowed to the emperor.

No one knows what the emperor means.

The atmosphere in the palace was very depressing.

"The imperial guard duty in the inner court is like child's play to me."

Zhu Youxiao raised his sword eyebrows, looked at Zhang Weixian, Zhang Qingzhen, and Wei Shitai, and said in a sonorous tone: "There are treacherous and sycophantic people who have their thoughts on me, but the key is accomplished. The fault is not because I have a great destiny, and I have won the title of my ancestors." Zong Huyou, I am afraid that what you will see today is my corpse, and the palace guards will not be able to keep things in order, and even the imperial guards will have to keep things in order."

"I have decided to set up a special Royal Guards from now on to take charge of the palace and imperial guards. The British Duke will be appointed as the Commander-in-Chief of the Royal Guards, Hui'an will be appointed as the Commander-in-Chief of the left, Uncle Xuancheng will be appointed as the Commander-in-Chief of the right, and all the personal guards will be appointed They will all be placed under the control of the Royal Guards. The three Qing family members were immediately ordered to leave Xiyuan and order the Royal Guards for me!"

This is going to change.

Everyone present was shocked and unbelievable when they heard what the emperor said. At one moment, some people in the courtroom showed jealous expressions.

Why do Zhang Weixian, Zhang Qingzhen and Wei Shitai, all of whom are distinguished in Beijing, get this honor?

"Old minister, I obey the order!"

"The minister obeys the order!"

On the other hand, Zhang Weixian, Zhang Qingzhen, and Wei Shitai showed different expressions at this moment, and they all raised their hands to bow in order, but Zhang Weixian's expression was the most calm.

After all, he is a role model among the nobles in Beijing.

Seeing this scene, the student Zhu You sighed with emotion. Not to mention other nobles, the British lineage was worthy of the Ming Dynasty, and even more worthy of the Zhu family. It can be said that they explained with practical actions what it means to live with the country.

Zhang Weixian, Zhang Zhiji, and Zhang Shize were all loyal to the Ming Dynasty. They lived in different periods and faced complex and dangerous situations, but they all made the same choice, to be loyal to the Ming Dynasty and to the Zhu family!

"Go."

Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and said: "Screen carefully for me. Anyone who has doubts will be eliminated. All the people with wine and rice bags will be eliminated. The Royal Forbidden Army must know the truth and must be loyal and reliable. Mr. British, you should pay more attention to this matter."

"Old minister understands."

Facing the emperor's request, Zhang Weixian raised his hands and bowed.

Although he still had something to say to the emperor, considering the current situation, reorganizing the imperial guards in the palace city and the imperial city as soon as possible was what he needed to do as soon as possible.

After all, the emperor's safety comes first.

As for the rest, let’s wait until the things at hand are settled.

Thinking of this, Zhang Weixian raised his head and glanced at Wei Zhongxian who was kneeling in front of the emperor. He clasped his hands tightly and turned around to walk out of the hall, while Zhang Qingzhen and Wei Shitai followed closely behind.

"Your Majesty, I have some advice!"

When Zhang Weixian and others were walking towards the palace gate, Gao Di, Minister of the Ministry of War, walked out of the court class, bowed to the emperor and said: "The palace city and the imperial guards are important matters related to the stability of the country. Your Majesty's assassination is a serious matter." It has been found out, but under such a situation, it may be a disaster to rashly set up the Royal Guards to be subordinate to the personal guards of the superiors."

Gao Di's voice was not loud, but it was enough for everyone to hear, including Zhang Weixian and the other three who were about to leave the palace.

Even because of what Gaudi said, Zhang Weixian and others slowed down a lot.

"Bold Gaudi!!"

Under such a situation, Zhu Youxiao glared and shouted: "What do you mean by this? Are you trying to say that the British Dukes are not worthy of my trust?"

Taking advantage of the fall into the water and the assassination, the Royal Guards were set up in order to integrate the direct personal guards. Zhu Youxiao wanted to take full control of this part of the military and hand it over to reliable people.

If he were to be the Ming Emperor and he didn’t even have much reliable military power, it would be fine if the emperor didn’t do it!

Zhang Weixian is the perfect choice.

Anyone can betray the Ming Dynasty, anyone can betray the Zhu family, but Zhang Weixian will not. He has become the British Duke of the Ming Dynasty, and he will live with the country!

It was exactly like this that Gaudi jumped out.

Without him.

Just because the direct personal guards have a larger part of the jurisdiction and are under the control of the Ministry of War. Now the emperor wants to set up a special Royal Guards, and also named the nobles in Beijing to take charge. If this is really the case, then in the future, the Ministry of War will I am afraid that I will lose jurisdiction over the direct personal guards.

Such a sinner, he would not do it!

"I have absolutely no intention of doing so."

Gao Di bowed his head and explained: "I feel that the ancestral system cannot be violated. All matters concerning the imperial guards in the palace and imperial city are under the responsibility of the superior guards, while all matters concerning the garrison of the capital and the capital are under the responsibility of the three major camps and Jingwei is responsible. If the changes are made so easily, then the imperial court..."

"enough!!"

Zhu Youxiao snorted coldly and said: "Open your mouth, ancestral system, close your mouth, ancestral system. Don't think that I don't know what your Gaodi intentions are. Isn't it just that you are worried about the nobles commanding troops?"

"Hmph! I am the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. I was assassinated in Xiyuan today. Did any of you care about this matter from the beginning to the end? Let alone a royal forbidden army. Even if I want to set up a new army, it is a matter of decree."

"I will let the British Duke and the others take charge of the Royal Guards, and let all the direct guards be transferred to the Royal Guards. I trust them. As for your high position, the Minister of War will not do it. Get out of the capital!! If you dare to make any more noise, I will kill you!"

Zhu Youxiao knew very well the grievances between the civil servants and the nobles of the Ming Dynasty. After the Tumubao Incident, the nobles of the Ming Dynasty who had strong roots in the dynasty had their backbones completely broken. Banned by the Ministry of War controlled by civilian groups.

Even as time went by, the nobles of the Ming Dynasty gradually faded out of the court, and were stared at by the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty. Even if they were given temporary posts in the three major battalions, they were mostly empty posts.

This is all about control.

But Gaudi jumped out to object, and he used the ancestral system to oppose it. In addition to considering the relationship between nobles and nobles, it was more about the struggle between imperial power and ministerial power.

The current chaos in the Ming Dynasty is largely caused by the struggle between imperial power and ministerial power!

The concept of co-ruling the world with the scholar-bureaucrats was highly praised by the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty, but the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty would never accept it.

So collisions are inevitable.

What Zhu Youxiao just said seemed to be for Gao Di and everyone present, but in fact it was for Zhang Weixian and the others.

Because Zhu Youxiao needs Zhang Weixian and the others.

The human heart is made of flesh.

If you want your horse to run, you must feed it frequently.

There is nothing that should be taken for granted in this world. Some are just comparisons of feelings, and some are just exchanges of interests. Even the emperor, who is aloof, cannot escape from this fundamental!

Besides, this Gao Di was a civil servant and had a good personal relationship with the Donglin Party members. He took over the Liaodong Economic Strategy after the Battle of Liuhe, but he was not very capable. After taking office, he not only failed to change the Liao Dynasty, but also won the controversial Ningyuan victory. It happened during his tenure.

From the moment he summoned the ministers, Zhu Youxiao showed an arrogant and unreasonable attitude. He dismissed and arrested him without explanation. He just wanted to use the case of falling into the water to break the cage in front of him first and seize some advantages. Only in this way , Only in the future can we break through the situation strongly, otherwise there will really not be enough time!
