To be honest, although not much happened in today's court meeting, it was indeed thrilling. Moreover, the various changes in the process contained too much information. Whether it was civil servants or military officials, it was inevitable Go back and think about it carefully to determine what you should do next.
Of course, the emperor's last words still made many ministers, especially some noble families, feel sad.
Although the emperor still did not express his position clearly, his last words were intriguing.
In this passage, it is first said that the purpose of reorganizing the military garrison is to restore the military garrison, that is, the sentence "If we can get half of the strength of the garrison garrison at the time of Hongwu, our frontier army will be strong!" '
This is the prerequisite, in other words, it is the final situation that the military camp must achieve this time!
Secondly, there is the last sentence, 'Only through the joint efforts of civil and military forces can we achieve political leadership and people's peace.'
In the eyes of most people, this sentence has two meanings.
One is that civil and military forces must compromise with each other and seek a balance point.
In other words, in order to rectify the military garrison this time, at least the emperor will not sit back and watch the Ministry of War really be "ruthless", but will end the fight appropriately. .
The second is that although the emperor will not sit back and watch the Ministry of War go too far, the specific extent to which it can be achieved depends on the ability of the nobles themselves.
However, no matter how far the game goes between the two sides, the goal of organizing the military garrison must be achieved.
In this way, there will be more things that both the civil and military sides can do.
So in fact, as the saying goes, the unknown is the scariest thing. Once the emperor's attitude is clearly revealed, everyone will have a clue in their minds when doing things.
After the court meeting was over, the elders discussed each other in twos and threes and began to walk outside, preparing to return to the Yamen to handle official business.
However, at this moment, the eunuch Huaien, the eunuch Huaien, led a group of people and said,
"His Majesty ordered Yu Qian, the Minister of War, Chen Yi, the Censor of Zuodu, Jin Lian, the Minister of Punishment, Li Xian, the Duke of Feng, Fan Guang, the Bo of Jing'an, and Yang Hong, the Marquis of Changping, to see you at the Wuying Palace."
When he said this, Wynn did not deliberately avoid anyone, so most of the ministers present basically heard it.
Among these six people, Yu Qian, Chen Yi, Li Xian, and Fan Guang are all solid members of the emperor's party. It is not surprising that they were summoned by the emperor to discuss government affairs.
Although the memorial to rectify the military garrison was passed, it was still just the beginning. There were various problems that needed to be solved in the future. It was reasonable and reasonable for the emperor to summon them to discuss it.
However, Jin Lian and Yang Hong...
The elders all thought of Ning Yuan Hou Renli who had just been thrown into prison, and they couldn't help but have more guesses about the content of this summons.
However, no matter what the people present think, the emperor's summons cannot be ignored.
Therefore, Yu Qian and others politely bowed their hands to Huaien, and without much hesitation, they followed in the direction of Wuying Hall.
When they arrived at Wuying Hall, Huaien led everyone to the side hall, then he cupped his hands and said.
"Your Majesty is changing clothes. Please wait a moment. Today's court meeting will be quite long. You must be hungry too. We have asked the palace servants to prepare some snacks and tea. You can come in and cushion your bed first. We will go back to serve you first. , if anything happens, just tell the palace servants."
Hua En arrived at the Supervisor of Ceremonies not long ago, so compared to Cheng Jing, everyone was not familiar with him. They only heard that like Shu Liang, he served in the palace since childhood, and was promoted later after he won the favor of the emperor. The big dragon comes up.
Now that they have such contact, the elders feel that this person is quite different from Shu Liang and other people who are sweet-talking and secretive.
Nowadays, there are many favored eunuchs around the emperor, but most of them are working in the inner palace. The only ones who really deal with the court are Cheng Jing, Huaien and Shu Liang.
Shu Liang naturally did not mention that some time ago, the glorious deeds of the Supreme Emperor in Xuanfu City's "admonishment" completely made this Dongchang Admiral Eunuch famous.
Although he is not as hated as Wang Zhen, he is still very consistent with the stereotype of eunuchs among civil servants.
Relying on imperial power, he is arrogant and unscrupulous, and always has a vain smile on his face. Just looking at him makes people think he is not a good person!
However, no matter how arrogant Shu Liang is, there is one good thing, that is, he only obeys the emperor's orders. Naturally, he is very favored by the emperor, and his position is stable and unshakable.
In addition, although he often behaved erratically, except for the incident involving the Supreme Emperor, he only had a bad reputation, and there was nothing substantial that the officials could not tolerate.
Therefore, the elders kept a respectful distance from him and treated him as if he did not exist.
Except for Shu Liang, relatively speaking, Cheng Jing, who was a scholar, gave the courtiers a much better impression.
Although they are both eunuchs, they are experienced and skilled in government affairs. What is rare is that they have their own principles and persistence and are often able to advise the emperor. They are completely opposite to Shu Liang.
As for Wynn, although we have not been in contact with him for a long time, he gives people the impression that he is neither as unscrupulous as Shu Liang nor as serious as Cheng Jing.
If I had to give him an impression, I would describe it in one word: thorough.
Whether it is how he treats people or his words and deeds, he seems to have a temperament that makes people feel reassured when things are left in his hands.
After touching the tea cup that had just been delivered and it was just warm enough to drink, even Yu Qian stood up and held his hand in a rare gesture as a return gift to Wynn.
After seeing off Hua En, the atmosphere in the side hall was actually a little quiet.
After a busy morning, everyone was indeed hungry, so they picked up the snacks served and started eating.
After a while, after everyone had eaten some food, a waiter came to report, saying.
"My lords, Your Majesty has some matters to deal with temporarily. It's time for tea. Please wait here for a while."
As a result, everyone present couldn't help but look at each other and could only sit down and continue waiting.
However, the snacks were also used, and it would be awkward to just sit like this, so after a moment of silence, Mr. Li took the lead to break the silence and said.
"Today's court meeting, the Marquis exposed the crimes of Marquis Ning Yuan in public. He is indeed a brave person. If the Marquis had not come forward, I would not be able to believe that someone would dare to risk the disdain of the world and assassinate an important minister."
However, as soon as the words fell, the scene not only did not ease, but instead became more embarrassing.
"Fengguo Gong is too praised, I just..."
Yang Hong smiled bitterly. He looked like he wanted to say something, but when the words came to his lips, he seemed to have some scruples. He kept hesitating and didn't speak for a long time. In the end, he just sighed heavily and smiled bitterly.
However, at this time, Jin Lian on the side spoke.
"Speaking of this matter, without hiding anything from Marquis Yang, I have something to ask."
Turning his gaze on Yang Hong, Jin Lian continued to ask.
"Ning Yuanhou and Yu Shaobao have no old grudges. Even if he is involved in the military camp in Gansu, how big of a deal is it worth taking such a risk?"
"Just now in the court discussion, before Marquis Yang mentioned this, Ren Li was taken to prison by His Majesty. However, since Marquis Yang dared to testify against him in court, he must also know his motives. Is it clear? If so, I wonder if Marquis Yang can help me clear up my doubts!"
