I smashed the emperor's daughter

Chapter 21 The Intrigue Implicit in the Coup

Chapter 21 The Intrigue Implicit in the Coup
In Zhaoren Hall, the two stayed together for about an hour. The little emperor was worried that if he stayed in this side hall for too long, it would easily attract the anger of other court ladies and eunuchs in Qianqing Palace, so he led Li Yuntang out of the hall.

On the way back to the main hall, the little emperor asked his side abruptly:
"Yuntang, earlier you said that my government orders cannot be implemented because there is no one who can carry out my orders. Now, how can I cultivate such subordinates?"

"My lord, this matter cannot be accomplished overnight."

As soon as Li Yuntang heard this question, he knew what the little emperor was thinking.

What she wants to do is to quickly set up the inner court's work team, so that the posthumous posthumous funeral for the late emperor can be completed as soon as possible.

But this is not a temporary shed, how could it be built as soon as it is built?
The selection and training of personnel always takes time, and whether they are loyal also needs to be considered; not to mention his strategy of internal control and external control, which is more considered for the future New Deal.

After all, almost all the princes in the court hate the New Deal that harms their interests.In the matter of implementing innovations, the emperor's side has no basis for cooperation with these people.

In the foreseeable future, if the little emperor wants to implement the New Deal, he must face opposition from the whole court.At that time, after a long period of training, the inner court should have available people; the graphics card in the court was burned, and the bright machine card in the inner court was taken out, and it could barely maintain operation.

Facing the eager little emperor, Li Yuntang could only try his best to understand:
"My lord, the Emperor Daxing has been in power for 20 years, and he just left behind a team of ministers. Now that the emperor has been on the throne for less than two months, how can he act too hastily?

The reason why the eunuchs of the former Ming Dynasty were able to act on behalf of the emperor was because the Ming Dynasty had the duty of listening to and selecting instructors on a daily basis, forming an institutionalized inner government teaching. The eunuchs trained in this way, under the blessing of the monarchy, can Check and balance and even control foreign affairs.

But my sons of heaven are all powerful and do not need the assistance of eunuchs, so there is no such system; and the eunuchs in the palace today do not know how many words they can read. The people who came out of the crowd competed with each other, and it was difficult for some strongmen.

Maybe, this move will also arouse the vigilance of the courtiers, and startle the snake.

On the surface, the emperor should pretend to be hypocritical with the outside court, and secretly cultivate the power of the inner court. "

"According to what you mean, I have to bear it now and let them pour dirty water on my father?"

The little emperor stopped in his tracks and glanced back at Li Yuntang, his voice was filled with displeasure.

"Then I might as well order the three guardians of Pengchen, Gongsheng, and Habayashi to enter the city, and kill them all!
The emperor's last words cheered Li Yuntang up.

Because the three guards of Pengchen, Gongsheng, and Habayashi in her mouth belong to the order of the forbidden army guarding the capital.The imperial guards guarding Beijing are divided into six guards, and the other three guards are Jinwu Guard, Longxiang Guard, and Huben Guard.

According to the late emperor's edict, the right to mobilize the three guards of Pengchen, Gongsheng, and Yubayashi belongs to the emperor, and the remaining three guards are controlled by Empress Dowager Yi'an.

When the Empress Dowager Yi'an launched a coup earlier, she mobilized these troops to slaughter all the Minister Gu Ming who had no military power!
It stands to reason that the empress dowager has launched a military coup, so she will naturally seize the little emperor's military power; but listening to the meaning of the little emperor's words, it seems that the imperial guards of the three guards are still under the emperor's mobilization.

This made Li Yuntang quite puzzled, he hesitated for a moment, and then asked:
"My lord, is it possible that the military power of the three guards of Pengchen, Gongsheng, and Habayashi in the forbidden army is still under the control of the lord?"

"That's natural," the little emperor snorted softly to express his dissatisfaction, then raised his chin and replied: "Is there anything surprising about this?"

"Then Empress Dowager Yi'an, didn't she ever think about taking the emperor's military power?"

Compared with the empress dowager Yi'an with a chest full of hills and valleys, the little emperor in front of her was as innocent as a piece of paper; Li Yuntang really couldn't imagine how she could preserve such an important power in such an unfavorable situation.

"Of course she wants to take it." The little emperor said confidently in the first half of the sentence, but he seemed a bit stuttering in the second half, "It's just... but I'm smart and quick, so I solved it with a little trick."

"Oh?"

Li Yuntang saw at a glance that this was a lie, hummed a soft question, then moved closer to the little emperor's left cheek, and asked with a smile: "Is what the emperor said true?"

The little emperor hurriedly turned his face away, while Li Yuntang circled around again, leaning close to her right cheek:
"My lord, say something."

"Li Yuntang, you really hate me, do you have to break the casserole and ask the end!"

After pouting and complaining, the little emperor told the whole story:
"Empress Yi'an wanted to seize military power, and she almost succeeded; at the critical moment, some courtiers took the lead and took me to the barracks where Habayashi and other three guards were stationed.

Then they reported back to the Queen Mother that the power of the three guards should be in the hands of the Ministry of War.

Under the stalemate between the two sides, Shangguan Meng, who was the cabinet minister and Yuanfu of the three dynasties, came up with a compromise: the military power still belongs to me.

Although both sides are not very satisfied with this method, but without giving in to each other, they can only hold their noses and admit it. "

"Then this Shangguan Pavilion elder is a loyal minister." Li Yuntang sighed when he heard that there were actually some courtiers who cared about the emperor.

Hearing this, the little emperor's face became a little more happy, and he added: "He is the father of the future empress, and also the future head of the country. He sold my favor without violating his interests."

"I see."

With such an explanation, Li Yuntang understood that the two groups of people who joined forces to launch the coup had their own ulterior motives in their hearts.

The Empress Dowager's successful launch of a military coup must have been possible without the help of the ministers, in order to command the army like a finger.

But Minister Gu Ming died, and the rest of the civil servants had to think about their own safety.

If the Empress Dowager Yi'an was allowed to grandly take over the entire imperial army and control the military power of the entire capital, then the government would probably be nothing more than the words of the nobles.

Whoever dares to oppose them has to think about whether his own head is enough to cut off.

Therefore, for the sake of their own safety, it is better to leave a pair of mother and son with conflicting interests and let them check and balance each other.

With the military power of the little emperor, and the courtiers were far more vigilant than the Gu Ming ministers, the Empress Dowager Yi'an did not dare to move lightly after all.

And the subsequent move of Empress Dowager Yi'an to decentralize power to the cabinet should also have a layer of intention to mend the rift in the relationship between the two parties.

Li Yuntang was still in deep thought, when Jing Yunhai suddenly walked over from the main hall of Qianqing Palace, when he saw the little emperor, he knelt down and said:
"My lord, the cabinet ministers who are on duty in the Pingzhang Pavilion today have something to submit to the imperial court."
