Chapter 58 One person attains the Tao and ascends to heaven

Chen Ke glanced at Zhao Yi lightly and said: "If it's so easy to reorganize the guards and the army, do you think the previous commanders were all poor? If you want me to say it, it's difficult, difficult, difficult!"

The three difficult words in a row directly express the difficulty of accomplishing this task.

Zhao Yi sighed slightly: "Yes, the difficulty of this matter lies in the court. None of the civil and military officials are willing to see our Jinyiwei's strength soar. Master Li has no roots. How can he stand up to it? Living under such pressure..."

In a wine shop, Chen Yao, Ma Ming and other brothers came to drink in this wine shop while they were resting. Naturally, they talked about the reorganization of the guards.

Because the person in charge of this matter was Li Huan, and as Li Huan's former subordinates, they naturally paid close attention to this matter.

As veterans who have been in Jinyiwei for many years, Chen Yao and Ma Ming are well aware of the difficulty of accomplishing this task.

Ma Ming put down the wine bowl in his hand, hiccupped, a gust of alcohol came to his face, with a bit of drunkenness, Ma Ming said to Chen Yao: "Boss Chen, do you think we should go to remind the adults?" Ah, this job of rearranging the guards is not a good job at all, maybe it will end up being impeached and hostile by the civil and military courts of the Manchu Dynasty."

With a bang, Chen Yao put down the wine bowl in his hand, glanced at Ma Ming and said, "What you're saying is, Mr. Li came from a local place after all. He hasn't been in Beijing for long, so he doesn't even know how deep the water is here. .”

While talking, he slapped the table, got up and said: "Let's go to see Mr. Li, don't provoke those civil and military people."

In the yamen, a civil official stood at the door of the side hall and said to Li Huan: "My lord, Chen Yao and Ma Ming are asking to see you."

Li Huan heard the words and said, "Please come in!"

Smelling of alcohol, Chen Yao and Ma Ming entered the side hall, paid homage to Li Huan and said, "This subordinate has met your lord."

Li Huan glanced at the two of them, motioned them to get up and said: "Okay, we are all our own people, so you don't have to be so polite. Aren't you two Xiumu, why did you come to see me?"

Chen Yao and Ma Ming looked at each other, and then Chen Yao said, "My lord, the guards can't be rearranged!"

Li Huanzheng paused slightly with the hand holding the tea, took a sip of the tea, put it down slowly, looked at the two and said with a smile: "Oh, why can't you regroup?"

Li Huan really didn't expect that Jinyiwei, from the commander of the Jinyiwei to the ordinary school lieutenants and warriors, would be extremely jealous when it comes to the reorganization of the guards. This is too much.

The dignified son of heaven and his army, when did he fall to such a state.

In fact, Li Huan had some misunderstandings about the strength of the Jinyiwei, because the Jinyiwei belonged to the emperor's army, so whether the Jinyiwei is strong or not depends more on whether the emperor fully supports it.

Thinking back when the two emperors Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di were in power, the name of Jinyiwei could almost stop children crying at night, destroying their families and destroying their families. As long as they waited for nothing, they would avoid Jinyiwei like snakes and scorpions, let alone trouble Jinyiwei. Jinyiwei won’t go If you trouble them, everyone will be burned.

However, with the passing of the powerful emperor, the power of civil servants became stronger and stronger, and they naturally began to suppress Jinyiwei. Coupled with the appearance of Dongchang, Jinyiwei's power and honor were further divided. One can imagine.

More importantly, the first emperor, Hongzhi Emperor, was Emperor Xiaozong, who was called the virtuous emperor by the literati. At the same time as the rise, the decline of Jinyiwei and Dongchang under the constraints of such an emperor can be imagined.

Now it is only more than a year since the death of Emperor Hongzhi. The strength of the civil servants is like a dark cloud covering the entire Jinyiwei. After being suppressed for more than ten years, the Jinyiwei has long expressed no hope for the reorganization of the guards. up.

Even if Li Huande's new king valued it so much, let's see if he is not restricted by the cabinet today to do this or that, there is no way at all.

Therefore, if someone among Jin Yiwei really wanted to encourage Li Huan to reorganize the guards, that would be a real evil intention.

Chen Yao opened his mouth and counted how the commanders of Jinyiwei lay flat under the restraint of the emperor and the suppression of civil servants. He resigned and said it again, and finally looked at Li Huan and said, "My lord, the guards cannot be reorganized, otherwise, they will be satisfied." The court's civil and military grudges will definitely accuse you of being a traitor who harms the country and the people. How can you keep your reputation under the public opinion? When the officials are angry, maybe even the emperor can't keep you!"

Li Huan couldn't help frowning when he heard the words. What Chen Yao said was almost predictable. As long as Li Huan really dared to reorganize the guards, those civil servants would definitely blow their hair. Words are much more difficult.

But what Chen Yao was talking about was the period of Emperor Hongzhi. Don’t forget that the current emperor is Emperor Zhengde. The young Zhu Houzhao has been restrained by civil servants for more than a year, and his patience may have been exhausted.Following Liu Jin's entry into the chief inspector of ceremonies, Zhu Houzhao pushed him into a ring with all the officials. It is conceivable that there will be excitement in the court next.

After thinking about this, Li Huan smiled at Chen Yao and Ma Ming and said, "You two have a heart. It just so happens that the guards are reorganized this time, so you two will each be a hundred household officials."

Since Li Huan is in charge of reorganizing the guards' army, he naturally has the power in his hands. Isn't it a matter of appointing a hundred households in a district? Neither Shi Wenyi nor the emperor Zhu Houzhao would care.

Chen Yao and Ma Ming were stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized that they were surprised and inexplicable on their faces. They immediately fell to the ground and bowed to Li Huan gratefully: "Thank you for your support, and I am willing to die for you. , never hesitate!"

Going forward to help the two of them up, Li Huan said with a smile: "You also know that I am new to Jinyiwei, and I don't have any team members. As long as you follow me and work hard, I will not treat you poorly."

Li Huan said again: "Tell other people, just say to do things with this official, and this official will reward them with the post of a small banner officer!"

With this opening, Li Huan directly promoted those subordinates who belonged to him before, no matter how bad he was, he was a small banner official, and he truly interpreted what it meant to be a chicken and a dog ascending to heaven by one person.

Having received Li Huan's promotion, Chen Yao and Ma Ming really turned their hearts to each other. They were devoted to Li Huan's consideration, and they said with worry on their faces: "But the matter of your lord's reorganization of the guards..."
