Chapter 624: Four people and three groups

 Zhu Yi said so straightforwardly that Jiao Jing was slightly stunned.

However, in the end, he nodded slightly and said.

"To be honest, from my point of view, we should be quiet now and not move. The rectification of the military camp is hugely involved. Although the main target is our nobles, the clan, civil servants, localities, and border troops are all involved."

"So, this is bound to be a protracted struggle. Even if the Ministry of War moves quickly, it will take at least half a year to really sort out some clues."

"In such a big matter, it is most taboo to go against the general trend. On the contrary, if you really start from a small place, it will be easy to make a big difference."

"However, if there is a quarrel in front of each other from the beginning, with the emperor supporting us, even if I and other relatives work together, I am afraid the situation will not be optimistic..."

This is actually a difference in work style.

In fact, among the many people in the Supreme Emperor's party, Jiao Jing's style is more cautious.

Of course, what he said actually makes sense.

In the political situation, it is difficult to achieve something, but there are many ways to harm something.

Take the issue of rectifying the military cantons as an example. The real difficulty is never whether it can pass the court meeting, but whether it can be truly implemented after passing the court meeting.

When those Yushi Kedao arrive at the local level, the real decision will be whether they can withstand the coercion and inducement of local officials and border generals, whether they can see through their various methods, and whether they can find out the true situation hidden behind them.

standards for whether this matter can be accomplished.

During this period of at least a year, these intertwined ancestral families had sufficient time and energy to use various means overtly and covertly to defeat each one.

The disadvantage of this is that it will lead to a long tug-of-war, stretching the front line and pulling it back and forth bit by bit.

Moreover, it cannot stop the general direction of reorganizing the army. In the end, it is inevitable that the noble families will pay a lot of blood.

However, the advantage is stability.

Although you will pay a certain price, you will never lose everything, let alone damage the foundation.

Moreover, if the situation is optimistic, it is not impossible to drag this matter out.

After all, the court still had to maintain normal operations.

The Ministry of War's rectification of military camps requires the coordination and cooperation of multiple yamen from top to bottom. This abnormal operation will inevitably not be maintained for a long time.

Otherwise, I am afraid that the Ministry of War will really become too big to lose, which is impossible for everyone from the emperor to the courtiers to accept.

Therefore, once you are caught in a protracted tug-of-war, as long as it is delayed long enough, it will either be completely delayed or it will be ended hastily.

This is not a bad outcome for our relatives.

However, if there is a head-to-head confrontation at the court meeting, the result will be unpredictable...

Looking at the frowning Jiao Jing, Zhang Mi remained silent, but Zhu Yi narrowed her eyes and asked.

"Since the Prince Consort has such doubts, why didn't he speak to the Supreme Emperor in Qinghe Pavilion today?"

Jiao Jing didn't speak, just sighed softly.

why?

Of course it’s because it’s useless to say it!

The relatives of the Ming Dynasty have always been weak, or in other words, throughout the dynasties, when the relatives had the right to speak, they relied on the harem rather than the real emperor.

Although Jiao Jing is not a real relative of the Queen Mother's maternal clan, he is a relative after all.

He has clean heels, no deep influence, and is related to the royal family. It is not difficult to get in and out of the palace. Such conveniences, not surprisingly, made him the most trusted minister of the Holy Mother in the palace.

Even after he won over Ren Li on behalf of Empress Dowager Sun, Jiao Jing became the person with the most say in the Supreme Emperor's party for a period of time after Zhang Fu's death.

However, glory is short-lived after all.

Since the return of the Supreme Emperor, the Madonna in the palace has retreated behind the scenes and no longer takes care of things, so the situation has naturally changed.

From today's audience, it can be clearly seen that in the heart of the Emperor, the most important thing is the British Duke, who has accompanied him in many battles and died successively.

This is not only respect for the position of the British Crown Prince in the DPRK, but also mixed with personal gratitude.

Further back in the row is the Chengguo Duke's Palace, which is now on the same level as the British Duke's Palace.

Nowadays, although the Chengguo Palace has declined, it is precisely because of its decline that the two Dukes have moved from confrontation to unity.

From a purely strength point of view, staying in the Chengguo Duke's Palace is strengthening the British Duke's Palace, and the Emperor naturally sees this clearly.

At the same time, Ningyuan Hou Renli, who had the right to speak in the court and had escorted the Supreme Emperor back to the court, had already made his position clear.

The reason for this is, on the one hand, because Ren Li still relies on the British government for his current status, and on the other hand, it is also because Ren Li has been in town all year round and his relationship with the Emperor is not close.

Therefore, although Ren Li is meritorious and loyal, his ranking can only be followed by the two houses.

However, from the fact that the Supreme Emperor was able to entrust him with the matter of preventing the reorganization of the military garrison, we can know that the weight of Ren Li and the two princes in the Supreme Emperor's heart is not much different.

As for relatives like Jiao Jing, their status was based on the extension of imperial power and they did not hold any official position.

Now that the Supreme Emperor is relegated to the Nangong Palace, with Yuan Bin and others passing the news, Jiao Jing's status has naturally become insignificant.

So, what can we do if we say it?

Ren Li was the most active in preventing the reorganization of the army. The British government was involved and tended to support it. As for the Chengguo government, they followed the trend and did not object.

At this time, Jiao Jing jumped out to sing the opposite tune, because he thought that the little love he had left in front of the Supreme Emperor could withstand the consumption?

Looking at Jiao Jing's look, Zhu Yi obviously realized that there was something wrong with what he asked.

Fortunately, at this time, Zhang Xi stepped forward to smooth things over, saying.

"Today in the Qinghe Pavilion, the Supreme Emperor only said that the military garrison should not engage in large-scale wars, which would unsettle the morale of the troops, make the generals uneasy, and give the bandits an opportunity to take advantage. We still need to discuss how to do it specifically."

"Since the Prince Consort has such doubts, in a few days, when I get together with Marquis Ren, we might as well make some insinuations. Perhaps, we can work out a way to get the best of both worlds."

After the words fell, Jiao Jing's expression softened slightly.

However, Zhu Yi frowned and said.

"The best of both worlds? I'm afraid it's not the case!"

"In front of the Supreme Emperor today, Marquis Ren's attitude was so firm, I'm afraid he was already prepared for a head-on confrontation."

"When we left the palace, Marquis Ren also told me to wait for a few days to communicate separately. After a few days, I am afraid that the arrow is on the string and I have to shoot it. It is not easy to change the course again!"

This was said quite rudely. Zhang Xi seemed to want to refute, but after opening his mouth, he still did not speak. He could only look at Jiao Jing with a questioning look.

At the same time, Jiao Jing finally revealed his purpose of coming this time and said.

"Second Master, what the Young Master said is exactly what I am worried about. Therefore, I came here today to discuss with you two whether we can slow down the situation for the time being and hold on to our troops for the time being."

"Of course, if you should move around, you should continue to move around. However, don't say anything to everyone. After the imperial court opens the seal after the year, new news will inevitably come out from the Ministry of War. I will wait and see first. At least, I will leave a few If you have no other choice, it is better not to burn the boat..."
