Chapter 302
After Han Yu left, Tianqi called the chief assistant Ye Xianggao.

Ye Xianggao is an old man who runs the country, and Tianqi has always relied on him very much. This time he was called to an audience, and he also wanted to ask his opinion on this whole matter.

Ye Xianggao's opinion was indeed very different from Han Yu's, which was why Tianzhao didn't summon them together.

Ye Xianggao pointed out that the iron-blooded monitoring of the factory guards is frightening, and most of the ministers are serving the court with trembling legs.From the fact that Zhang Yang can order the prison to be closed by himself, it can be seen that the factory guards have too much power and have reached an unstoppable level.Therefore, Ye Xianggao suggested that the factory guards must be resolutely banned, otherwise it would endanger the country and society.

After listening to Tianqi, he smiled, and said to Ye Xianggao: "Jinqing (Ye Xianggao's word is Jinqing), I understand your proposal, let me think about it again."

Ye Xianggao sighed and withdrew.

This sentence is so familiar, Ye Xianggao has heard it many times in the past few years, but even today, the factory guard is still standing.

Tianqi's dependence on the factory guards has reached the level of obsession. On the other hand, it is because he does not trust the ministers enough. Only the factory guards check and balance the cabinet ministers and the six ministers in the court, so that he can sit comfortably chair.

After half a month, Tianqi issued an edict: "Liu Qiao was demoted to be the commander of Jinyiwei, Tongzhi, and he was still in charge of Jinyiwei, and Jiang Wei, the commander of Jinyiwei, concurrently served as Beizhen Fushi."

It is another imperial edict that changes the soup but not the medicine.

When the edict was issued, all the ministers were in an uproar, and they went to the cabinet to petition, demanding that Liu Qiao be severely punished.

But Ye Xianggao knew that Tianqi had made up his mind, and it was impossible to depose Liu Qiao. Out of consideration for the stability of the court, he could only do his duty as a cabinet minister and persuade everyone to go back and perform their duties.

In this confrontation between courtiers and factory guards, the victors were Jin Yiwei and the cabinet's second assistant, Han Yu.

They succeeded because they were able to capture Tian Qi's subtle psychology and follow the trend.

On the day after the edict was issued, Jin Yiwei Liu Qiao secretly met with Han Yu.

As soon as Liu Qiao saw Han Yu, he bowed to the bottom and said respectfully, "Thank you, Mr. Han Ge, for saving your life. If Mr. Han Ge hadn't spoken before the emperor, Liu's life would be as cheap as an ant and let others trample on him." gone."

Han Yu smiled loudly and said: "Master Liu, you are welcome. You are colleagues and are all loyal to the Lord. If you are in trouble, how can I stand idly by, but although the appeal was successful this time, it also made other ministers in the court They accused me of covering up Jin Yiwei and hiding evil intentions. So we should try to meet as little as possible in the future, so as not to be caught by others."

Liu Qiao bowed and said, "Liu Qiao understands that besides thanking Mr. Han Ge face to face, I also want to ask the Lord what commands the Lord has for us."

Han Yu smiled and said, "The Lord only said four words."

"Which four words?"

"Well done."

When Liu Qiao heard this, cold sweat immediately flowed down.

He and Han Yu belonged to the same interest group, and above them, there was a leader, whom they called the Lord.Since the Lord has said to them to do well for themselves, he must be extremely disappointed with their recent performance.Thinking of the Lord's cruel means of punishing those who neglected their duties, even Liu Qiao, who had experienced many trials and hardships, couldn't help but tremble.

Under the night, with the shadows of the lamps swaying, Liu Qiao and Han Yu talked secretly for a long time, and he didn't leave until the dawn broke and white belly appeared on the clouds.

……

Who is the Lord?What does he have to do with the changes in the court?Why are even the two power officials of Daming obedient to him?

……

On September 25th in the fourth year of Tianqi, the Liaodong War broke out.Sun Chengzong, a scholar of Dongge University, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, and governor of Jiliao, relied on the city to hold on. After several defeats in the Liaodong area, the main force of Jin regained a lot of lost ground.At this time, the Guanning iron cavalry also began to emerge suddenly, becoming a cavalry of the Ming Dynasty that could fight and win the post-Jin army.

The news of border success spread frequently, and Emperor Tianqi was overjoyed. He decreed to confer the title of Grand Tutor on Sun Chengzong, rewarding him ten thousand taels of silver and one thousand taels of platinum, holding Shang Fang's sword, and patrolling the nine borders on behalf of the emperor.

Tian Qi received the good news from Sun Chengzong, and Yan Long also received the good news from Zhao Zilong and Ma Chao.

Since leading the Xiaolong cavalry out of the customs, Zhao Yun and the three Ma brothers first formed an alliance with Ge Genbu, and then borrowed a thousand soldiers from Gegenbu, and together with the Xiaolong cavalry captured the empty Eagle's Nest, established a base, and then successively Sent troops to sweep across the Great Gobi, and wiped out all horse thieves and hostile forces.The general trend on the Gobi Desert was certain, Zhao Yun sent his troops to the north, united with Gegenbu, and captured three tribes in the grassland one after another, expanding Gegenbu's sphere of influence by at least ten times.

According to the agreement with Ge Genbu, the Xiaolong Iron Cavalry led by Zhao Yun obtained a large expanse of grassland on the edge of the Gobi Desert to raise horses and garrison troops.At the same time, the original Eagle's Nest Castle continued to be expanded and reinforced. The manpower and some scarce materials needed for building the city were all transported out of the customs in batches by Ma Chao.

At this time, Yingchao has 5000 soldiers, [-] shi of food, countless weapons, firearms, and horses, and it seems to be an indestructible military fortress.

And Xiaolong cavalry expanded its army to 800 people, and its combat power was at least tripled.

Seeing these good news, Yan Long laughed and said: "Hahaha, Ma Mengqi is trying to move the Shitan town sub-rudder and Majiazhuang team to Eagle's Nest."

Jiang Wei who was on the side also smiled and said: "Meng Qi and Zilong are good generals, they opened up the situation in Mobei in such a short period of time. Master, we really have our own city and army now! "

What Yan Long was thinking about at this time was the system's rewards for the completion of the stage tasks. At that time, he had just entered the level of the master of heaven and man, and he received the system's second stage task-return to the capital and take charge of the Jinyiwei. Establish your own power in the court.The time limit is two years, and the reward for completing the task is to summon the number one Killing God as the host to help Killing God.

At this time, it is not far from taking full control of Jin Yiwei, and Yan Long really wants to know who the number one assistant killer is.

"I hope that there will be a god of war to help me out, as the commander, to help me lead the generals under my command, so I don't have to be so tired." Yan Long thought to himself.The supporting killing gods are divided into the combat-type killing gods who are good at force, the strategy-type killing gods who are good at resourcefulness, and the martial god-type killing gods that combine the two. Now, among the five supporting killing gods under Yan Long's command, except Other than Dian Wei, they are all comprehensive warrior gods.

Yan Long said with a smile to Jiang Wei: "Bo Yue, you are also a good general. You are now in the position of Fushi of Beizhen. The authority of a Fushi of Beizhen is enough to surpass thousands of troops."

Jiang Wei said modestly: "It's all because of your master plan that I can take this position." Jiang Wei paused and asked Yan Long: "Master, what should we do next? Bring down Liu Overseas?"

Yan Long shook his head and said: "Taking down Liu Qiao is not the key to the next step. He can't pose a threat now, so we can let him go. Our next step is to find a way to make the emperor trust us!"

Jiang Wei said: "Then find a way to get close to the emperor."

Yan Long smiled and said: "It's not difficult, have you forgotten that I'm still in charge of Jin Yiwei's big Han general?"

The function of Jinyiwei is: "directly drive guards, inspect and arrest", a pause in the middle basically divides Jinyiwei into two completely different departments.

Among them, the guards in charge of the bodyguards, displaying guards of honor, and accompanying the emperor on tour are basically the same as the traditional imperial guards. The more famous ones are called "General Han"!
Although these people are called "generals", they are actually only responsible for standing in the palace, delivering the emperor's orders, and also doing guard work. To put it bluntly, they are stakes on the palace hall.Of course, these "stakes" are not idle people. They are generally tall and strong, with a strong back, full of spirit, loud voice, and dignified from the outside. They have a deterrent effect on people who don't know the details of the Ming court .

The Great Han Generals formed their own battalion in Jinyiwei, with about 1500 people in the early days. By the end of the Ming Dynasty, due to the expansion of the bureaucracy, the Great Han Generals also increased to more than 5000 people.

Yan Long is in charge of the Han general camp, that is to say, as long as the emperor travels, these guard camps will also take on the guard work together with the guard camp with swords.

Yan Long, as the supervisor's commander, was close to the emperor, which can be said to be a matter of course!
