eldest son of Ming dynasty

Chapter 386 Inner Intelligence Supervision (for Subscription)
The Supervisor of Rituals appeared grandly in the Ministry of Punishment, and people from Jinyiwei came and went on the street.

When Zhu Houzhao made this decision, he already had these preparations.

I still remember Bao Yang Tinghe back then, and some people talked about eunuchs.The previous trilateral governor, Wang Yue, was also classified as an eunuch.

It is almost impossible to get rid of the symptoms of party and dissent in the court.

However, the case of the salt class has developed to deal with so many civil servants today. From the overall situation, it is inevitable for the emperor to borrow the power of the supervisor of ceremonies.

Unless he goes to trial one case after another in person.

And how is this possible.

Besides, it must be other people's responsibility to take the blame.

Gu Zuo talked about the so-called scholars in Beijing talking about the eunuchs' disorderly government, including even the officials appointed by the imperial court, but Zhu Houzhao didn't respond at all after hearing it.

why?
Because not responding is the most correct course of action.

There are at least three reasons,
First, the forces of factory guards are indeed very powerful. As an extension of imperial power, a word from the emperor can make their power infinite.So use with caution.If the reaction was fierce at this time, and the emperor himself personally executed those people, then the supervisor of ceremonies would dare to put the minister and minister in jail tomorrow.

Second, the emperor did not punish the factory guards for this, which is actually an attitude in itself.For those talkative people, Liu Jin will soon make charges and send them all away.Which big boss would tolerate these people pointing at their noses and scolding them every day?So someone does this kind of thing, and he, Zhu Houzhao, still intervenes?Isn't that taking this pot to carry on your own body?
Third, the Supervisor of Rituals and Jin Yiwei are doing well, and there is no need for him, the emperor, to protect them.

In the final analysis, the current situation of Li Jian and Wen Chen was created by him alone.Before creating this situation, he knew that there would be such a voice.It is normal for the two sides to have some fierce 'sparks' when the two sides are fighting each other. He is only needed as an emperor when things get out of control.

It's still in a state of balance, so what's there to worry about?

As for Gu Liqing, no matter what, he shouldn't come to talk to the emperor about these things.

"Ugh."

Zhu Houzhao sighed, this practical bureaucrat has too little sensitivity to court and politics.However, his original intention was still good, to remind the emperor that there was such a change in the capital.

"I understand what Li Qing said just now." The emperor could only glance over like this, and then asked about other things, "Is there any contact with the road construction matter, is there anyone willing to undertake it?"

"...Of course there are people who will take over. The life of ordinary people is not easy, and basically they all look forward to working to earn some wages. However, it will take time to establish the white list."

"Hurry up. There are tens of millions of taels of silver in the hands of the imperial court. I am worried that the people will be ruined from then on. So we can't delay."

"Yes."

When Gu Zuo left, Zhu Houzhao felt that he was in a trance, probably because he felt that the act of 'complaining' was like punching cotton.

So the emperor waved at Yan Song,

"You had a good conversation with him last time, so let's go again and ask him to talk."

Yan Song thought to himself that I am just a little transparent on the side, what does it have to do with me?
"I dare you, I don't know what His Majesty...why do you want me to talk to him about?"

Zhu Houzhao smiled, "It's still the same sentence, you can decide what to talk about."

Yan Song: "..."

Probably he did a better job of guessing the emperor's will, and now it's all in this way.

"Weichen understands."

So he quickly followed up with his body in his mouth.

In fact, things in the court have become more and more simple recently.
Gu Zuo is in charge of the Shaofu, the cabinet is in charge of administration, Yang Tinghe goes to help the kitchen households, Yang Yiqing and Zhou Shangwen are in the north, Wang Jia and Wang Shouren are in the south, there is no chaos in the Central Plains, and there is no major disaster in the country.

As the emperor's most important strategic direction and employment, he is good at both, so he thinks that the emperor is still qualified.It's just that the strengthening of national strength takes time.

But there was one thing, he wasn't relieved yet.

This is why Zhang Yong came back.

He is the emperor, and the stability of power will always be one of the things he cares most about.

It's okay that he dug a hole for Liu Jin.Eunuchs depended on the emperor to survive. In the Ming Dynasty, eunuchs had the highest loyalty to the emperor.But Liu Jin's power has increased recently,

Zhu Houzhao wanted to find someone to check and balance him.

Otherwise, it's just Youzhi...it really doesn't matter.

In fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see it.This is not the case with Yan Song in front of him.

As the supervisor of the army, Zhang Yong's original position is naturally important, but no matter how important it is, it cannot compare to the stability in the palace.

Besides, as a latecomer, he has an advantage after all. For example, he can remember who Yang Yiqing is.

So it's easy to find people who supervise the army.

But a fully trusted eunuch is still rare.

Zhang Yong can be listed as one of them.

Zhu Houzhao remembered that according to the historical records, he was a relatively decent person, and besides, he was an old man who had been with him when he was in the East Palace. Moreover, Zhang Yong was attacked by civil servants because of his naughty prince, and he was the one who forcibly saved him.

Another one, Zhang Yong is not as smart as Liu Jin.

Being an official can be fine, but not too fine.

Being clumsy has its advantages.He also knows that he is clumsy, so he has no other thoughts, anyway, he is loyal.

"...Old Yang Ge is cultivating barren fields in the northwest, training soldiers, and strengthening the army. Everything is fine. It is the old man Zhang Mao, the deputy governor of the left, who makes him very angry."

Zhu Houzhao wandered around the stone road by the lake, under the willow trees,

"Is it because of the one million taels?"

"Your Majesty really sees it clearly. It was Yinzi who caused the trouble. In fact, it was easy for Mr. Yang Ge. Anyway, whoever moved on Yinzi's mind, he would push all of them to Mr. Zhang. Mr. Zhang has an imperial edict and is not afraid of it." If you offend someone, no one will give you any face. But sometimes Mr. Zhang is too careful. Some money, Yang Ge, thinks it is a flower, and he thinks it is not a flower, so there will be quarrels. Later, Yang Ge has nothing to do, anyway. He wants money, and how he wants to sue is someone else's business."

"As long as the money is spent properly, I don't feel sorry for the money." Zhu Houzhao couldn't help laughing, and he also thought about it, "Zhang Yong, I'll give you a favor."

"Selling favors?"

"You wrote a letter to Mr. Yang Ge, and said... With your kind words, I agree to allocate another 50 taels of silver to buy horses, firearms, etc."

Zhang Yong was a little surprised and hesitant, probably because he didn't dare to accept this kindness, "This is obviously a kindness bestowed by His Majesty, but why is it given to a slave instead?"

But Zhu Houzhao has his own reasons for doing things.

"To tell you the truth, I have made a fortune recently. Of course, these windfalls have to be spent on the people, but apart from the people's livelihood, Ming's army can't spend nothing. Anyway, everyone says that the eunuchs are messing with the government. This Infamy, you recited it for me."

Zhang Yong came back from Guyuan Mansion, said something and then asked for a sum of money, isn't this very smooth?

Speaking of which, Zhang Yong felt a little more at ease, "The servant understands. Backing names is nothing, and the servant can do what His Majesty says."

Zhu Hou was still silly looking after him, so he couldn't help laughing and said, "You are so heartless."

"Your Majesty taught me the lesson. The slave girl will write a letter to Mr. Yang Ge when she turns around."

Zhu Houzhao waved to him, asking him to follow closely,
"Zhang Yong, this time I call you back, I still want you to be in charge of the horse inspector. The horse inspector is in charge of the left and right guards of Tengxiang and the left and right guards of Wuxiang. These four guards are accompanying guards. In the hands of these people, I will hand it over to you, you should understand what I mean."

Zhang Yong took two steps back and knelt down on both knees.

"Your Majesty, Zhang Yong will not say clever and beautiful words. Zhang Yong only knows that this life belongs to His Majesty. He will never regret it in his life!!"

The cool breeze by the river,

The corner of Zhu Houzhao's mouth curled up, "Besides, I will make a decision to select from the 21 guards in addition to Jin Yiwei and Tengxiang Four Guards, and form a guard of sharp soldiers, named Shenwu. Shenwuwei is responsible for guarding the Forbidden City. If I It is up to you to do this. It is not easy, and the key is not everyone's ability, but loyalty."

"My servant understands! This servant must choose a majestic Shenwuwei!"

Whether it is a minister or a direct guard, they do not belong to the sequence of civil servants. Basically, Zhu Houzhao can reform according to his own will.

The above-mentioned content is not a problem for the supervisor of ceremonies.
Because the Imperial Horse Supervisor has the duty to control the Forbidden Army.

For Zhang Yong, the task assigned by the emperor is not a difficult problem.

What really matters is the next words,
"This time I called you back to the palace, the most important thing is what happened in the palace before. After killing so many people, I really don't know if there are still people with evil intentions inside. The ministers outside the palace have Jinyiwei's inner guards and secret guards. Information Division, but what is there in the palace?"

Zhu Houzhao's action was also influenced by the Renyin Palace Change during the Jiajing period.

That is to say, some court ladies united to kill Emperor Jiajing.

What is this concept?Those who do this are determined to die, because even if they succeed, they will die.

Among Zhu Houzhao's current practices, one of the outstanding points is that things are coming, and he can't talk about love.

It's not that he insists on doing this, but that in order to accomplish things, he must be resolute in implementing this level.Otherwise, the fleas are bombed with a grenade, and it looks lively, but it doesn’t solve the problem.
But in this way, there will be problems, that is, his personal safety.

Especially last time so many people died in the palace at once.

When someone makes a mistake next time, who can guarantee that no one will have the idea of ​​dying together?
So it is certain that Zhang Yong will come back.

0. Restrict Liu Jin so that no one in the palace dares to speak except for the voice of his father-in-law Liu. 1. My own life is also important. Although the probability is very small, this kind of thing is only [-] and [-]. If it happens once , Then I will have nightmares at night for the rest of my life.

Combining these two reasons, whether to supervise the army or not to supervise the army is naturally secondary.

Zhang Yong heard it clearly, "Your Majesty wants to set up an intelligence office in the palace in the Imperial Horse Supervisor."

"It can be called the internal intelligence supervisor. The establishment of the internal intelligence supervisor itself is also kept secret, and only the eunuch and the emperor know about it. The internal intelligence supervisor was originally scheduled to have 24 people, each of whom is directly responsible to you, and does not know each other. This is An iron law, those who touch it will be expelled from the palace."

Zhang Yong was also thinking about what it would be... Unexpectedly, it was indeed a big event.

For the emperor, what he has to decide is this extremely critical matter,

As for some noisy students or officials in Beijing,
Liu Jin will deal with those people.

Eunuch Liu is now in high spirits, and Han Wen doesn't want to show his face, saying that he is the presiding judge.Liu Jin doesn't have to sell his face, he is still a supervisor after all, what is a supervisor?Supervision means that you can report to the emperor if you are dishonest!

As the supervisor of ceremonies, he still has Dongchang in his hand!
Isn't it talking about politics indiscriminately?
"check!!"

Liu Jin was already in a bad mood when he was refuted by Hanwen, and when he came back, he heard that such a thing happened, so how can he do it!
"Just check those talkatives! Our family doesn't believe that there will be so many Zhang Demao (Zhang Maozi) in the court!"
