Reborn as a tyrant in the Ming Dynasty

What Xiong Tingbi did in the Beijing Camp was undoubtedly a big taboo no matter from which angle he looked at it.

For the civil servants, many people in the outer dynasty were watching closely, waiting for Xiong Tingbi to make a mistake. This would not only capture Xiong Tingbi, but the key was that the lost military power could be gathered under the control of the Ministry of War again.

Perhaps the current Minister of War was appointed by Emperor Qiangang at his own discretion, but the Ministry of War cannot be supported by Yuan Keli alone.

Who can ensure that Yuan Keli will not make mistakes during his term in office?

As long as you make a mistake, you can change it!

When it comes to the battle between imperial power and ministerial power, it is by no means a one-and-done back and forth. It must be a repeated pull of you advancing and me retreating, you retreating and me advancing.

Perhaps the imperial power can keep making progress and make the civil servants of the outer dynasty continue to compromise, but don't let them seize the opportunity. As long as the opportunity is seized, they can achieve a comeback!

A Tumu Fort Incident not only emptied out the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion, but also emptied out the great Ming Dynasty nobles. Isn't this the best proof?

As for military generals, yes, Ming Dynasty is indeed a noble and military general, and does not take military generals seriously, but you Xiong Tingbi can't treat our Beijing camp generals as fools!

First, there was a drum beating to gather the generals. In order to gain a firm foothold and maintain their power, they directly killed 137 Beijing camp generals and used internal funds to directly allocate silver to repay the arrears of military pay.

Yes.

This is a way for you, old boy, to seize the opportunity.

But the crux of the problem now is that Xiong Tingbi has affected the lives of many people. He supports a personal guard and spends a lot of money every year. Not to mention that Xiong Tingbi has come out with his own body and directly involved thousands of people in the Beijing camp. The above-mentioned generals and the servants under their command were all in trouble!

This is a big taboo.

In addition to the two broadly divided civil and military groups, the impact of this incident is actually far from being as simple as it seems on the surface.

"Every action is very fast."

Inside Dongnuan Pavilion.

Zhu Youxiao, who was sitting on the throne, looked at the impeachment memorial on the imperial court with a half-smiling expression: "Those who don't know mistakenly think that Xiong Tingbi has evil intentions and plans to force the Beijing camp to mutiny and take the opportunity to cause trouble in the capital. To overthrow the Ming Dynasty."

Liu Ruoyu, who was serving in front of the emperor, lowered his head.

As for the eunuch Wang Tiqian who was standing in front of the imperial court, the eunuch Wang Tiqian stood there without saying a word. He did not dare to mention the eunuch Si Li at all. There were almost no more memorials to impeach Xiong Tingbi.

Regardless of what Xiong Tingbi did in the Beijing camp, it had nothing to do with Yousi in the inner court. After all, all the internal ministers who had previously been sent to the Yuma prison camp were recalled back to the palace. Those who violated the Ming Dynasty's laws were taken to the Western Market and sentenced to death. .

But before something like this happened in the capital camp, the long-standing abuses in the Huangzhuang exploded, and the Xiji Service Factory was ordered to conduct a thorough investigation of the Huangzhuang in Shuntian Prefecture, which made many eunuchs in power fearful.

There is no way not to be on tenterhooks.

Many of the powerful eunuchs, stewards, etc. appointed from the inner court are related to the powerful eunuchs of the inner court. They are either recognized as adopted sons and grandsons, or they are simply related to each other.

Even if the eunuchs and eunuchs in the inner court were cut off from their descendants one by one, they were still human beings and they would inevitably be affected by the secular world.

"The impeachment memorial involving Xiong Tingbi no longer needs to be submitted to the imperial court from now on."

While Wang Tiqian's thoughts were mixed, Zhu Youxiao said in a cold tone: "Such memorials will be left alone. I can only deal with them decisively, and there is no need for them to add fuel to the fire here!"

"The slaves obey the order."

Wang Tigan hurriedly bowed and responded.

It seems that Xiong Tingbi is deeply trusted by the emperor.

Wang Tiqian, who was used to seeing the changes in the outer dynasty, could not help but feel sad in his heart. Whether he was an official in the outer dynasty or a servant in the inner court, if he wanted to gain power or gain a firm foothold, he could not do without the trust and reliance of the emperor. If you understand this reality, no matter how great you were before, it will eventually wither.

It's just a matter of time.

"Your Majesty, the British Lord wishes to see you."

At this time, a eunuch on duty walked in from outside the palace and bowed respectfully.

What is supposed to come will eventually come.

When Zhu Youxiao heard this, he felt sad in his heart. What Xiong Tingbi did in the Beijing camp would not only cause turmoil among the two major groups, the civil and military groups, but there would also be turmoil among the inconspicuous nobles in Beijing.

After all, some of the generals serving in the Beijing camp secretly submitted themselves to the noble sect, and they were able to be promoted in the Beijing camp.

Once this layer of branding is applied, it cannot be removed simply by removing it.

In the adult world, once you make a certain decision and take action, you can't just back down. This is because people can't help themselves in the world!

At present, the civil servants in the outer dynasty only go to court for impeachment, but do not come to the imperial court to gather for remonstrance. This is entirely because they have killed too many people before, and the emergence of the gunpowder smuggling case has made them afraid to stand out for fear that they will not be able to stand out. Xiong Tingbi was ousted from power, but the emperor was the one who ousted him first.

As for the group of generals in the Beijing camp, none of them made any move. It was just the servants under their command who were all ruined by Xiong Tingbi. They were waiting and watching, and they also took action. After all, they had lost the servants under their command. , undoubtedly pulling out their sharpest teeth.

But this does not mean that the matter is over.

If Zhu Youxiao, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, did not handle this matter relatively safely, it would have a very bad start, which is definitely not what Zhu Youxiao wanted to see.

"Declarate it."

Zhu Youxiao frowned.

Zhang Weixian, who was standing outside the palace, felt very complicated when he heard the emperor's voice. He didn't want to get involved in this kind of thing.

But just last night, many nobles, led by Chengguo Duke Zhu Chunchen and Dingguo Duke Xu Xigao, came to the British government in batches to pay a visit in their name.

This left Zhang Weixian with no reason to evade.

The key point is that these visiting nobles all have a common characteristic, that is, they all hold temporary posts in the Beijing camp. Those who do not have temporary posts in the Beijing camp are mostly transferred to the newly established Royal Imperial Guards House.

But even so, when Zhang Weixian was on duty in the palace, some nobles serving in the Royal Forbidden Army mentioned the matter to him in a roundabout way.

This is Jianghu.

This is human kindness.

Zhang Weixian, who was filled with complicated emotions, after adjusting the python robe he was wearing, lowered his head and walked towards the Dongnuan Pavilion. He was about to bow and salute, but was stopped by the emperor's words.

"The British Duke came to the imperial court because of what Xiong Tingbi did in the capital camp?"

Zhu Youxiao looked at Zhang Weixian and said.

"Yes."

Zhang Weixian hesitated for a moment and bowed in response.

"Then what do the Qing family want me to do with Xiong Tingbi?"

Zhu Youxiao leaned forward and asked Zhang Weixian.

"I dare not overstep this matter."

Zhang Weixian hurriedly replied: "I actually agree with what Xiong Tingbi did. After all, if the Beijing camp wants to be reorganized, it must undergo great changes. However, I think Xiong Tingbi's methods are too extreme and completely ignore the laws of the Ming Dynasty, let alone the Ming army." "Law, if you use this to assist in the military affairs of the capital, there will be no guarantee that something will happen in the future."

In fact, Zhu Youxiao was not dissatisfied with Zhang Weixian coming to the imperial court. After all, Zhang Weixian was a noble of the Ming Dynasty, and he could not get around the circle of nobles.

Not to mention that Zhu Youxiao doesn't believe that the British public line has been passed down to this day and has no foundation in the Beijing Camp? Will any of the Jingying generals surrender to the school?

These are inevitable.

If everything is true, then there will probably be no good people in the Ming Dynasty, and they will all be people who deserve to be killed. But the key question is, can they all be killed?

impossible!

If you really do this, you don't have to wait until the Jiashen year. In the fifth year of Tianqi, the Ming Dynasty will collapse because Zhu Youxiao betrayed his base.

Therefore, to govern the world and check and balance the court, we must grasp a subtle degree. This degree is like a scale, and we must ensure that both sides are relatively stable.

"I have sent people to the capital camp."

Thinking of this, Zhu Youxiao said with a serious expression: "In addition to reprimanding Xiong Tingbi, I will inspect the Beijing Camp in three months. If there is no change in the Beijing Camp by then, then Xiong Tingbi will be taken to the West City for execution. For this decision, the British Do you think I am arbitrary?"
