The next day, Li Qing went to court.
Not only him, Shi Heng, who doesn't often go to court, also came.
In the main hall, Li Qing broke it into pieces and explained the pros and cons, and said that he could just send troops and not fight. This blocked many people's mouths to a great extent.
Shi Heng and Yu Qian didn't say that they naturally sided with Li Qing. After Li Xian heard the words of no war, the pressure suddenly eased and he also sided with Li Qing.
The civil service group felt uncomfortable, but it was not unacceptable. After all... there was no war.
Military merit is real, and they cannot tell lies without conscience, but going to the grassland to pick up people is not considered military merit, and there is a lot of room for return.
Of course, the main reason is that the Ming Dynasty cannot ignore it, and they are not stupid. If they really ignore it and let the grassland be unified, then the Ming Dynasty's border will never have peace.
At that time, whether they are willing or not, the military generals' rising momentum can no longer be contained.
If the enemy invades the border, we can't help but let the army attack, right?
All things considered, this approach would cause them the least loss.
This time, there was no heated argument, and almost no discussion before it was completely settled.
For the first time, Zhu Jianshen felt that these people below seemed less annoying.
…
Royal study room.
Zhu Jianshen was very happy. This time he could finally cultivate his own power legitimately. At least this opening would give him room to operate.
Shi Heng was old and Shi Biao was no longer young, and both of them were meritorious officials of the late emperor. Zhu Jianshen did not want to train them no matter what his motives were.
What he wants to train is the younger generation, young generals who are loyal to him.
At this point, Zhu Jianshen finally started his first battle to regain power.
But soon, he got into trouble again.
Who to train?
The relationship between the military and the military is intertwined, and is as complex as the court. How many people are related to each other, and how many people are capable and worthy of training... It is really open to question.
It can be found out even if it is checked, but it takes too long and the actual situation does not support it at all.
Zhu Jianshen was also afraid that if he delayed it for too long, if he wanted to do it later, the ministers would refuse it for other reasons. He didn't want to miss the opportunity he finally got.
Is there anyone who I can trust absolutely and be loyal to me wholeheartedly... Zhu Jianshen fell into deep thought.
Suddenly, Zhu Jianshen's eyes lit up: "Yes."
His father-in-law, Wu Jun!
This person will definitely be loyal to him, because Wu Jun is the head of the country, and if nothing unexpected happens, the future prince will be Wu Jun's grandson. This relationship is the most trustworthy, otherwise marriages would not be so marketable throughout the ages.
Of course, it is also necessary to prevent relatives from getting bigger.
But Zhu Jianshen didn't think it was a problem, because he was still young and confident enough. When he grew up, he would be able to control it and even find a replacement.
The top priority is to take power first!
Without real power in his hands, Zhu Jianshen always felt uneasy, not to mention that there was an overlord in Jinling.
His father's existence made his sense of crisis even stronger.
Zhu Jian took a deep breath and said to himself: "I will take back the power that belongs to the emperor sooner or later. This world... belongs to me!"
"Someone is coming...!"

The next day, news spread like wildfire that Wu Jun was in charge of the general's seal and was fully responsible for the follow-up introduction of the grassland tribes.
For a time, the officials were in an uproar and there were countless objections.
There are some who are jealous, and there are also those who are really afraid that their relatives will become bigger. In short, there are many opponents, and Yan Guan is just looking for a sense of existence and directly criticizes.
It is child's play to claim that the emperor is acting for personal gain and letting a small former commander do such a big thing.
The cabinet, six ministries, and even Yu Qian did not approve of Zhu Jianshen's approach.
Before Wu Jun became the head of the state, he was just a little-known figure. In the perception of many people, he was embarrassed and unqualified for the big job.
Of course, it’s unclear how they would feel if the target were themselves.
But Zhu Jianshen is determined. There are not many people he can trust, and his father-in-law is undoubtedly an excellent choice.
Naturally, a group of human beings could see Zhu Jianshen's plan, so they also tore off the pretense of kindness.
Just like a newlywed couple who have just finished their honeymoon, they begin to dislike each other.
Zhu Jianshen is the emperor and he wants the absolute right to speak. This is right!
The ministers worked hard and managed for many years, and finally managed to get ahead. However, as soon as the new emperor changed the Yuan Dynasty, he began to cultivate new forces. Their interests were threatened, and they naturally resisted. This is human nature.
As a result, the relationship between the king and his ministers that had lasted for half a year was completely torn apart.
Zhu Jianshen also saw for the first time how hateful and hateful this group of people were after their faces changed...
Simply... Li Qing is an old thief per capita!
But Zhu Jianshen did not act recklessly, but resorted to the scumbag's tricks: don't object, don't refuse, don't accept...
When the 'little daughter-in-law' saw this attitude, how could she bear it?
Isn't this a wrong payment to a beloved person?
I was really blind at first...
After a deep love affair, I realized as time went by that one of them was just a facade, and the other was filled with silicone...
Contradictions between monarch and ministers inevitably broke out.
Zhu Jianshen wanted to use Wu Jun, but the officials rejected it, and suggested Shi Heng; Zhu Jianshen also refused, and insisted on using Wu Jun, but the officials rejected it...
Neither side is willing to accept the other's opinions, but both are relatively calm and play within the rules.
Zhu Jianshen did not succeed in his purpose, and the ministers did not force the palace. Although the monarch and his ministers were not in harmony, they were not completely opposed to each other. The official duties were not affected much. In general, they were very restrained.
Li Qing did not participate in it, but asked Zhu Jianshen to issue an order for the scouts outside the pass to pay close attention to the grassland battle.
The outcome of the battle between the two sides is the most important thing. How the Ming Dynasty arranges it depends on who wins. Wala has a good chance of winning, but after all, the final decision has not yet been made. gōΠb.ōγg
His suggestion was approved immediately, and the ministers did not stop it because the suggestion had no impact on them.
After Li Qing achieved his goal, he no longer went to court. He only often went to the Ministry of War to learn about the latest developments in the grassland.
Occasionally, I would go to the Hanlin Academy to follow up on the compilation progress of Zhongzong's Records, and sometimes tell some secrets that outsiders didn't know, in order to make Zhongzong's Records more complete;
At the same time, it also enriches Zhu Qiyu's image and makes it more three-dimensional.
As for the struggle for power in the court, Li Qing didn't care. Anyway, the final result was still the Ming Dynasty's gain.
Moreover, after these few days of observation, Li Qing also had a certain understanding of Zhu Jianshen's political talents.
At least for now, the methods Zhu Jianshen displayed were completely in line with, and even exceeded, his psychological expectations.
There are criticisms of using relatives, but it is indeed a way to quickly gain power, and relatives are not like wolves and tigers. After they actually take power, they will weaken the relatives and find replacements. It is very easy for the emperor with real power.
Zhu Jianshen's move was not wrong.
What Li Qing admired even more was that Zhu Jian understood the rules, a quality that was too rare among the emperors of the Zhu family.
Zhu Yuanzhang did not follow the rules, Zhu Di did not follow the rules, Zhu Zhanji did not follow the rules, and Zhu Qizhen did not follow the rules; but facts have proved that failure to follow the rules will eventually pay a price, some of which are reflected in the face, and more Reflected in the dark.
In the power field of the temple, it depends more on games. The top priority is to balance the bottom line that the other party can barely accept.
It can be said that Zhu Jianshen's core ideas are very correct and he knows how to be patient.
So far, except for Wan Zhen'er's matter, there has been no challenge in other aspects, and Li Qing felt that he was looked down upon.
But it's always a good thing. Li Qing also wants to have an emperor who can be a good emperor without his help.
Li Qing had a hunch that Zhu Jianshen might be the most accomplished emperor after Zhu Zhanji, and could even surpass Zhu Zhanji and become the first emperor after Taizu and Taizong.
Of course, the prerequisite is to continue to maintain it and not go wrong later.
Li Qing cannot guarantee this, and can only leave it to time.
…
Back in the courtyard, Li Qing fed the donkey and felt a little hungry afterward.
Since the two younger generations left, Li Qing has not gone to the market. There is no food at home, and he is too lazy to go out. Most of the time, he just endures it. Anyway, he will not die of hunger, and it will not affect his body functions.
After chatting with Brother Donkey for a while, Li Qing had nothing to do, so he prepared to take a nap.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he stood up, there was a knock on the courtyard door.
"Sir, are you at home?" Yu Qian's voice came.
"coming."
Li Qing opened the door and saw Yu Qian's hurried expression and solemn expression, and his heart sank: "There's news from the grassland... Was Wala defeated?"
Yu Qian shook his head: "None of them."
"Why are you trying to make fun of me?" Li Qing said angrily, "You just scared me."
“But it’s also a big deal!”
Li Qing's eyes narrowed, "Come in first."
After bolting the door, Li Qing turned around and asked, "What on earth is going on?"
"The emperor... wants to depose the queen!"
"Ah?" Li Qing was stunned, "No, he insisted on using his father-in-law, why did he suddenly do this? Even if he doesn't use it, he won't be useless!"
This is indeed a big deal. How can the Queen and her mother-in-law be easily abolished?
When Zhu Zhanji deposed the Hu family, he had planned carefully for a long time, and with the help of Sanyang, he deposed the queen.
Zhu Jianshen's operation... Li Qing really couldn't understand it and said in surprise: "What's the reason?"
"It's a long story... Well... to put it simply, there is collusion between inside and outside."
"Collusion inside and outside..." Li Qing said in surprise, "But during the post-election period, someone in the palace accepted bribes from the Wu family and operated in secret, thus affecting the final selection?"
After a pause, "But even if this is the case, it is not a crime to be a deposed queen. To be honest, among the twelve people who rushed to the end, how many of them were not taken care of?"
Li Qing really couldn't understand why Zhu Jianshen did this.
Could it be that you want to use this to show the power of the dragon and intimidate the officials?
It shouldn't be, Zhu Jianshen has no reason to use such low-level tricks.
This is like two people fighting and one of them is at a disadvantage. As a result, he slaps his wife twice and says, "Do you think I'm awesome?"
It’s totally a two-part act!
After being in contact with him for such a long time, Li Qing felt that Zhu Jianshen was not such a fool.
There is no absolute fairness after the election, and everyone knows this.
Moreover, the influence of the deposed emperor is extremely great, almost comparable to the deposed crown prince. It will cause a turmoil in both official circles and among the people.
