I was the emperor in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 62 The Return of the Three Treasures

Chapter 62
In the imperial study room, Li Tian was chewing on the fragrant peanut cake, flipping through the memorial book sent by the cabinet, holding a vermilion pen in his hand, and ticking a red circle on it from time to time to express his approval.

Jiang Bao stood at the bottom and respectfully said:

"Your Majesty, the 22 people from the Sixth Division and the five censors from the Metropolitan Procuratorate have all been sent to Dongchang Prison."

"En." Responded lightly, Li Tian swallowed a mouthful of peanut cake, pondered a little:

"If the chief of the Sixth Section and Lu Zhen seek someone from Zhen or Dongchang, they will be released at that time."

"Then what if they get stuck outside the Chengtian Gate again after they come out?" Jiang Bao bowed his hand and expressed his worries.

"Block again?" Li Tian raised his eyes and smiled contemptuously, saying indifferently:
"Catch me every time I'm blocked. I'm not afraid of trouble. Tell them that their job is to be the boss, not to wrap me around with their knees."

"Old slave understands."

Jiang Bao was originally worried that the emperor would completely offend the official Qingliu to death, but now it seems that the emperor already knows it well.

After leaving the imperial study, Jiang Bao went straight to Dongchang, but who knew that he was stopped by the six section chiefs of the six departments as soon as he left Fengtianmen.

Looking at the six section chiefs blankly, Jiang Bao said unceremoniously:

"Our family has an imperial edict to pass on. If you want to stop our family, our family doesn't mind sending you to Dongchang as well."

Different from the careful service in front of the emperor, outside, Jiang Bao is not only the right chief of the inner court, but also the chief of the imperial horse supervisor who is in charge of the emperor's military amulets. Except for the elders of the cabinet, he is not afraid of any officials in the court.

Hu Yiqian, chief of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, was one of the leaders who knelt outside the Chengtian Gate to remonstrate this time. Seeing Jiang Bao's arrogance in his heart, he secretly cursed at the eunuch, but said with a smile on his face:
"Why did Director Jiang say that? I just want to ask Director Jiang, how does the emperor plan to deal with the six departments?"

Although the emperor ordered the VIPs of the sixth department to give it, Jiang Bao would not tell the truth in a foolish way. Looking at the anxious-faced head of the sixth department, he said flatly:

"The emperor said that the authority of the speaker is to make a decision, not to force the superior with his knees."

"The emperor really said that?" Wu Zhengjue, the chief of the Ministry of Military Affairs, asked suspiciously.

"You don't believe it." Jiang Bao threw out such a sentence coldly, and walked away.

Looking at the back of Jiang Bao walking away quickly, the smile on Hu Yiqian's face disappeared in an instant, and he said with a gloomy face:

"The eunuchs exercised power, the emperor was deceived by these dead eunuchs!"

"Brother Hu, what are you going to do?" Zhou Quzhi, the section chief of the Ministry of Rites, answered the question angrily.

"I'm going to kneel in front of the Taimiao to remonstrate in person. Do you dare to go with me, Hu Yiqian?"

Hu Yiqian firmly believed that the emperor would not attack the speaker, and it must be the two eunuchs Jiang Bao and Wang Fu who fanned the flames, and said calmly with a look of death on his face.

The six departments are united as one, and as a speech officer, they always advance and retreat together. After a little thought, the chiefs of the other departments immediately agreed with Hu Yiqian's approach.

Zhou Quzhi narrowed his eyes slightly, looked around randomly, and said in a low voice:

"Our six subjects alone are definitely not enough. We must bring in the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Imperial College, and it is best to bring in the Hanlin Academy and Wenyuan Pavilion. They have a lot of students, and they will definitely create a lot of momentum."

"Brother Zhou's words are very reasonable." Hu Yiqian nodded in agreement, his laughter was like a sharp cone and he said:
"This time we can't find those cowards and brats again. Isn't Jin Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment going to avenge Mr. Li of Fujian? I think we can test Jin Shangshu's tone."

"That's very good." The other five people kept nodding their heads, and began to make plans in one go, secretly swearing in their hearts, they must let those dead eunuchs know that they are not easy to mess with.

In the imperial study.

Li Tian had just finished reviewing a stack of playbooks, leaning his head on the soft chair, tapping on the imperial case with his fingers, thoughts racing through his mind.

Among the six departments, Jin Youde, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, is Yang Shiqi's hometown. It stands to reason that there shouldn't be such a shitty thing as crying and mourning in the yamen, but Jin Youde still did it.

Li Tiancai didn't believe that Jin Youde was really mourning for Li Min. Li Min worked in Fujian, and it would be nice for the two of them to meet each other for three years.
With the little kindness in the past, it is impossible for Jin Youde to have such a big reaction.Besides, Jin Youde was also considered a member of the Jiangxi Gang, so he knew why Li Min was executed as soon as he asked.

Although Yang Shiqi never admits the existence of the Jiangxi Gang in the court, there are many officials of Jiangxi origin in the court, and they all follow Yang Shiqi's lead. Even if Yang Shiqi does not admit it, he cannot deny that both the court and the opposition are his fellow villagers.

Recalling Jin Youde's ambiguous attitude towards the household reform law on the day of the Great Court Meeting, Li Tian gradually understood.

It seems that Yang Shiqi's Jiangxi Gang had an internal problem, otherwise, Yang Shiqi would not have forced Deng Shiyan to take over the post of Minister of Rites that day.

Of course, for Yang Shiqi himself, Li Tian is still at ease. Yang Shiqi's ability to write a plaque for Huang Zhun's household reform bureau is enough to show Yang Shiqi's attitude towards the reform.

Withdrawing his mind, Li Tian looked at Wang Fu who was on the ground like a pillar and said:
"Go to the cabinet and ask Yang Shiqi and Yang Rong if they are awake."

As soon as he clasped his hands, Wang Fu hurried out of the imperial study.

Guyang Nine Styles Li Tian has not fallen recently, but staying up all night is just staying up all night, not just practicing cheats, not to mention that he hasn't practiced any internal skills yet.

Rubbing his swollen temples, Li Tian was about to close his eyes and rest for a while.

Just closing his eyes for a moment, the door of the imperial study room suddenly opened, Li Tian stared, but saw Jiang Bao excited like a monkey:

"Your Majesty, Eunuch Zheng is back. Following His Majesty's will, Eunuch Zheng stopped a lot in the state capital along the way. Now he has gone north along the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal and arrived in Wuqing County."

Wuqing County is one of the 24 prefectures and counties under the rule of Shuntian Prefecture. It is less than [-] miles away from the capital. Although Zheng He's treasure ship fleet is going upstream, it can reach the capital in half an hour at most.

Li Tian was startled when he heard the words, and then he was a little excited and a little nervous.

Zheng He's seven voyages to the West were a highlight in China's history, and he was about to meet the Three Treasures eunuch himself, even though he was the emperor now, he also felt a bit dreamy.

Hearing that Zheng He had actually arrived in Wuqing County, which is less than two hundred miles away from the capital, Li Tian couldn't help laughing. Zheng He didn't want to make himself extravagant, so he greeted him grandly.

However, Li Tian didn't intend to accept this love. After pondering for a moment, he changed his mind and said:
"Jiang Bao, immediately take my soldier talisman and order all 26 personal guards out of the city to line up for [-] li, ready to meet Eunuch Zheng.

In addition, all the officials above the seventh rank in Beijing put on court clothes and went out of the city. In addition, all the eunuchs in the palace were sent out to pour clean water on the streets and pave the roads with loess.

By the way, there is also the queen, let the queen and my beloved concubines also put on their dresses, and immediately follow me out of the city. "
