How terrible this is!
Encountering such an opponent, their plan...
Can it really succeed?
Feng Mingda began to hesitate.
He stood up unsteadily, took the towel handed by the chamberlain and wiped the blood from his forehead. When he walked to the main hall of Tai Chi Palace, he was still thinking about this problem.
It was only when his eyes met certain people that he suddenly woke up and felt a chill on his back.
There is no turning back arrow when the bow is drawn, and there is no turning back.
…
Ying Zheng stayed by the Queen Mother's bedside, with a concerned look on his face and a worried look on his face, vividly portraying a filial son who was worried about his sick mother.
Feng Mingda didn't ask him to wait for long. About a quarter of an hour later, he went to the side hall with several senior officials of the clan, followed by the other prime ministers and assistants.
Murong Jing's biological father, King Zhou, was also among them.
Feng Mingda was the first to kneel down and persuaded: "Your Majesty, please give top priority to state affairs. If the empress is awake at this time, she will definitely not want your Majesty to waste the court meeting because of her."
Ying Zheng choked and said: "Uncle, I really..."
Seeing the eldest king in the clan kneeling tremblingly on the ground, he quickly stood up and helped him: "Uncle, please get up quickly!"
The king refused to give way, and only said: "Today is the first court meeting after the emperor ascended the throne. It is of great significance. The royal family is all there, the honors are all there, and all the important ministers from all the feudal frontiers are rushing to Chang'an. How can we miss it because of the royal family affairs?" State affairs? There are veterans taking care of this place. Your Majesty, please hurry to the front hall to continue the ceremony!"
The other clan members also echoed in unison.
At the national level, the interests of the clan and the emperor tend to be consistent. Therefore, when there is a struggle for power between the imperial party and the imperial party in the court, the clan must stand by the emperor's side.
There was a hesitant look on Ying Zheng's face. After refusing several times, he straightened his clothes under the urging of King Dai and Feng Mingda, and went to the front hall worriedly.
The Dai Wang stayed in the side hall to look after the Empress Dowager who had not yet woken up. The rest of the people followed the imperial chariot and returned to the main hall of Tai Chi Palace with the new emperor to continue the ceremony.
…
The emperor used the Ministry of Rites and those few yes-men as a raft to show his ruthlessness, and he also used the empress dowager and Feng Mingda as a guide to prove his sophisticated political skills.
Now that he has returned to the court, no one regards him as a new king with a weak foundation, and no one simply thinks that he is just a dandy who relies on his family background to hang out in the south...
Everyone has one thought in their mind: Is this guy a sack? He can really pretend!
Another thought is that there is... something in the Wangfu this week.
The old god Zhou Wang lowered his head and lowered his eyes. No one could see his expression clearly at this time, so they all felt that it was unfathomable.
However, only the King of Zhou himself knew - he was also very panicked, okay? ! ! !
My son holds it in his mouth like this, why didn’t I know?
Wasn't he simply ignorant and unskilled before? !
Are they really all acting? !
This brat really deceived everyone - even his father kept the truth a secret. It’s a waste that our husband and I are so worried at home these days that we can’t sleep!
King Zhou's mood was extremely complicated. After being shocked, and realizing that the prince around him was hiding his helplessness well, he suddenly felt relieved.
At the beginning of the founding of this dynasty, the succession of the emperor's throne was often faced with a bloody storm, and even the inheritance of the clan title had many twists and turns.
He has a very close relationship with the princess, and he has no estranged son in the family, and he doesn't want his two sons to be at odds with each other over their titles, so he has always been more or less indulgent towards his second son. If he likes to live and drink, he can do so. If you want to raise a little boy, you can do whatever you want. If you don't want to go to school, don't go to school. If you're too lazy to practice martial arts, we can hire a nursing home to avoid suffering so much.
As a son of a clan, especially since the late emperor had no children, what do you want to do with your reputation?
Sima Zhao's heart is known to everyone on the road.
King Zhou never thought of getting involved in the Lord's affairs, so he just wanted his two sons to be safe and happy, and just be rich and idle.
As for the future... just take care of the affairs of the children and grandchildren in front of you. How can he care about the affairs of several generations later?
But no one expected that their son would be chosen as the late emperor's heir.
It was not until this moment that King Zhou suddenly realized that maybe the second son had always been aware of his parents' worries, so he obeyed their wishes, restrained his brilliance, covered up his wisdom, and pretended to be a playboy. Outside, you play with cats and dogs, but when you come home, your father is kind and your son is filial, and your brothers, friends, and brothers are respectful.
It was only when he was selected into the palace by mistake that he truly revealed his true appearance...
When a child does this for his parents (not really), what else can he be dissatisfied with as a father!
Ying Zheng was completely unaware of King Zhou's turbulent and moved mood at this time. He sat in the palace with an expressionless face and listened to the officials from various places coming in to congratulate the new king. He also asked a few local important matters in a timely manner to show that the Sacred Heart cares about the people all over the world. .
After more than an hour of this, the congratulations from the officials from all over the country were over, the posthumous title of the late emperor was basically finalized, and the reign name of the Yuan Dynasty was designated as Yuan'an. The court meeting was almost over.
Ying Zheng looked at the ministers and ministers of the three provinces: "You are all veterans, and many of them are veterans of the four dynasties. Today's court meeting is about to end, is there anything left to report?"
He leaned forward slightly and looked at Zhongshu Ling Wang Yue emphatically.

Wang Yue: "..."
The other prime ministers and assistants looked at each other and said that nothing happened. Only Wang Yue calmed down, took a deep breath, and stood up.
"The minister's written orders are more and more formal!"
Ying Zheng leaned back tactically and leaned on the back of his chair: "Speak."
Wang Yue took out the memorial that he had written long ago from his sleeve, opened it, and read out impassionedly: "Since the beginning of the establishment of the internal guard, hundreds of officials have criticized it, and scholars have looked sideways... Its authority is greater than that of the Yushitai, but it is as Wild horses are without reins and must not be supervised... Local officials are troubled, and central court officials are often panic-stricken... Emperor Taizong once said that the sage will rule under the arch, the emperor will not doubt his ministers, the ministers will respect the emperor, and the ministers will be bold. Please ask your majesty to abolish it. Internal guard, the government and the public will be kept clean, and the people will be at peace!"
As soon as the words fell to the ground, no one said a word in the court hall for a long time.
Internal guard...
As the prime minister, Wang Yue stood in the front, so naturally he could not see the expressions of the officials behind him, and he did not need to care about the expressions of those people. As long as the emperor was on his side, that was enough.
A sneak peek, good.
His Majesty looked at me with great appreciation.
Wang Yue gained confidence. He straightened his chest and raised his head, feeling that the red scarf on his chest became more vivid.
Compared with Wang Yue's one-way running into darkness, the mood of the officials at this time was a bit complicated.
Who wants to report how many eyes are hidden in their home, how many meals they eat and how many times they go to the latrine every day?
When the Inner Guard was first established, it caused quite a stir in the imperial court. The courtiers were unwilling to be monitored. Because of the overlapping functions of the Yushitai, the Inner Guard was obviously more likely to win the Sacred Heart, so they opened fire fiercely. But in the end, all these criticisms were blocked by Emperor Mingzong with one sentence.
You can tell people everything you want. Since you have never done anything shameful, why are you so timid?
At the end of the fight, there was even blood, and he passed the inner guard's setup with an iron fist.
But today, this new king who has clearly stated from the beginning that "I am not a soft persimmon and cannot be fooled" actually made a show of abolishing the internal guards at the first court meeting?
Yes, everyone can see that Zhongshu ordered Wang Yue to write this memorial, which was the emperor's instruction.
This person has always been tactful, the best at understanding the emperor's will, and his internal guards are all-pervasive, monitoring all officials. If he wants to neglect and depose the emperor's ears and eyes when he has nothing to do, isn't he just seeking bad luck for himself?
This is strange. It has always been the officials who have opposed the supervision of the internal security agents, and the emperor has made them his confidants. What is happening now? The new emperor has just taken the throne, and he hastened to destroy his arms?
Ying Zheng could see through their thoughts, and a sneer appeared on his lips.
Why?
Of course it's because the inner defense is not under my control at all now!
Why should I keep an organization that doesn't work for me?
Your inner security is all-pervasive, right?
Your inner guard is hidden in the dark and no one can find it, right?
I have so many things to do every day, and I wish I could break them in half for a quarter of an hour. How can I have so much time to search for you?
In comparison, it would be easier for you to come directly to my door and ask to continue being my dog.
What, if the inner guards don’t show up, I can’t do anything to you?
Damn it, I am the emperor!
The reason why the internal guards are able to monitor hundreds of officials and kill them first and then report them is because they rely on the imperial power and the emperor is helping to endorse them. Without me, who are you?
It doesn't matter if the late emperor doesn't hand over the inner guards to me. I have many ways to let the inner guards emerge on their own and rush to serve me!
From now on, there will no longer be a royal institution called the Internal Guard in the country. The Ministry of Revenue, the Shang Palace Bureau, and the palace private treasury will not allocate another penny to fund the Internal Guard.
From Chang'an to the local level, subsidies are advertised everywhere, and those who engage in surveillance, private investigation and other related actions in the name of internal security will not be recognized by the state and the government. Once discovered, they can be sent to the government. Those who prove their identity is correct will be killed. No mercy!
Ying Zheng looked at the palace full of courtiers, with some hint of interest in his eyes.
He knew that among this group of courtiers, there should be a leader of the inner guard hiding among them. The late emperor did not leave this power to his successor, but to others.
The leader of the inner guard received the order from the late emperor and did not appear in front of the new emperor.
However, Ying Zheng believes that soon, someone will come forward and swear allegiance to him.
After all, the late emperor has passed away, and not everyone can give up the privileges possessed by the inner guard and the benefits that can be obtained by being the leader of the inner guard.
The internal guards were vicious dogs raised by the emperor, and the reins were held in the emperor's hand. Once the emperor let go of his hand, after experiencing a short period of freedom, they would soon turn into wild dogs that everyone shouted to beat.
The emperor could keep many dogs, but for this dog that had been fattened for a long time, there was only one owner in the dynasty who was able to raise them.
More than ten thousand people hold the Constitution of Heaven in their mouths.
This is the emperor!
Chapter 8
Ying Zheng's wait did not last long.
Soon, the courtiers began to take sides.
There are those who strongly agree with Zhongshu Ling Wang Yue.
This kind of minister is obviously a minister who is not in the internal guard faction either himself or his close relatives and cannot take advantage of this institution. He is simply under supervision.
I strongly support Mr. Wang in abolishing the internal guards!
There are conciliatory fence-sitters.
He slightly complied with the new emperor and Wang Yue, showing that he did not dare to disobey the new emperor's wishes.
