Chapter 76 Change
Zheng Xiaoming stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes slightly closed, as if he was asleep.
The entire capital was alarmed by the news that Mr. Xiayang returned, and soon the old man from Mr. Xiayang's mansion came out of the city. After seeing Zheng Xiaoming, who had no change in appearance at all, he immediately knelt on the ground with a thud, crying heart-wrenchingly: "Mr., you are finally back!"
······
······
"Is Mr. Xia Yang really back?"
The young emperor asked with a little excitement.
The commander of the Jinyiwei was hesitant and said, "It should be true? Someone has recognized it in the Xiayang Duke Mansion. Eunuch Xu, who was in the Imperial Inspector, also had a relationship with the Xiayang Duke in the past, and he also went to see Mr. Xiayang..."
When the young emperor heard this, he couldn't help but be happy: "That's great! Great! Mr. Xiayang returns to the court. This is a great thing, a great thing!"
The emperor today is the great-grandson of the old emperor back then.
Twenty-five years ago, the old emperor had already passed away. Then the prince ascended the throne and became the emperor for thirteen years, and then died again.
Then the first emperor became emperor for eight years and died.
Now he is the current emperor and has been in power for two years.
The so-called young master is nothing more than this!
I really feel uneasy about controlling the current huge court.
Over the past thirty years, the situation in the court has long been different from that year.
First of all, the power of civil servants was further expanded and the imperial power was further weakened. Even though the military power of Shanling Guards was not completely abandoned, logistics, food and grass were controlled by civil servants.
As we all know, if an army has no logistics and food, it will be nothing!
Just this one can see how the power of civil servants expands.
Fortunately, with the expansion of the civil servant group's power, it also represents the differentiation of the civil servant group and intensified internal strife.
If a group does not fight for interests outside, then it will only be intra-converter.
The current civil servant group is divided into two major groups according to the region: the Southern Party and the Northern Party, and the conflict is unbreakable.
Now when the court comes to court, the two gangs often quarrel in a dim manner and do not take the emperor seriously at all.
The young emperor hated this, but it was unimaginable. At this moment, with the return of Xiayang Gong, he felt like he had a backer.
Although the Xiayang Gong did not last long, he had great achievements in actual combat, including the devil disaster in Nanping and the Yadi people in Beiding.
In addition, the invention of four-wheeled carriages, roads, etc., all profoundly affected the situation of the entire Ming Dynasty.
Thirty years ago, Xiayang Gong was still young and lacked qualifications. But now thirty years have passed, and once he returns to the court, he will immediately become a person of the Taishan Beidou level among the nobles!
"This...Eunuch Li is a little uncertain now..."
The commander of the Jinyiwei said carefully.
Eunuch Li is now the powerful Li Hongyu.
Although the civil servant group further expanded and suppressed the imperial power, the emperor could only rely on eunuchs to fight with them, and naturally the power of the eunuchs increased.
As for the nobles, the role of the heroes can only be further reduced!
Now, a Xia Yang Gong suddenly appeared and came back, which was likely to threaten the status of the eunuch group.
Eunuchs and nobles are both forces standing on the side of imperial power!
It’s no wonder that Li Hongyu, the eunuch who is now a lie supervisor, is not very willing.
Although the eunuch of the Silijian Bingbi is not the highest official position of the Silijian, he is a person who truly controls the Silijian, that is, the power of the inner dynasty!
The young emperor was displeased when he heard this: "Li Hong was afraid that he was confused when he met that old man. Xia Yang Gong was also my uncle. When was it his turn to say what he said!
Please invite Xiayang Gong to the palace, I want to talk to Xiayang Gong..."
"I'm afraid there is nothing wrong with this!" The commander of the Jinyiwei smiled bitterly.
He is also a figure in the noble group. Don’t forget that the Jinyiwei is all hereditary official positions, and he is also considered to be in the large group of nobles and military officers. Of course, he hopes that Xiayang Gong will return to control the overall situation.
But at this moment he couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty, don't forget. Mr. Xiayang was already an unparalleled god general back then, and later he left home to practice for thirty years. Now his cultivation level has reached its peak, no one knows..."
The unparalleled gods alone are not allowed to live in the capital... Of course, that was the rule thirty years ago.
Now that Taibao practices can no longer be considered an unparalleled god general. After all, with the birth of major immortal sects and descending from the mountain, there are many experts, which greatly improves the level of force of the entire incident.
This greatly reduces the threat of the so-called unparalleled gods... and this is also one of the main reasons why the influence of nobles and military generals has further decreased in the past thirty years!
But Zheng Xiaoming is different. Thirty years ago, it is said that he had already surpassed the level of the so-called Wushuang general. Now he has been practicing for thirty years, and his appearance has not changed at all. What level has this level of cultivation reached now?
What if such a person who is unknown in the depth suddenly becomes ill-intentioned when he meets the emperor?
But at this moment, someone rushed in and shouted, "The emperor is not good! Someone just attacked Xia Yang Gong just now. It is said that he was sent by Eunuch Li, the eunuch of the Silijian...."
This time, both the emperor and the commander of the Jinyiwei were shocked and changed their color.
······
······
Earlier, the outskirts of the city.
Zheng Xiaoming met with waves of old relatives and friends after waves, with subordinates of Xiayang Duke's Mansion, other nobles and marquises, and some subordinates of the past...
When Zheng Xiaoming took the initiative to leave Daning Town and became a monk to practice. Although it gave the emperor and the court a great embarrassment, it also made the emperor and the court feel relieved.
After all, there is no need to worry about how to place a great hero like Zheng Xiaoming!
Since Zheng Xiaoming has left voluntarily, the court certainly cannot treat other heroes unfairly.
Therefore, the group of people who followed Zheng Xiaoming were rewarded and promoted. Nowadays, several generals in the Beijing camp have been with Zheng Xiaoming.
The only regret is that Cao Darui, the supervisor of Daning Town, was then the prime minister of Dachu Cabinet seven or eight years later, and comprehensively promoted the investigation of garrisons and all matters in the capital camps in various places.
Unfortunately, because I offended too many people, I stepped down after not taking the position of prime minister for a few years. Everything I promoted was given up halfway!
Even the eunuchs who worked with Zheng Xiaoming did not become the leader of the Silijian or the Imperial Horse Prison, they are now considered a mountain in the palace.
So, now that Zheng Xiaoming has returned to the capital, a group of people come to pay homage and recognize people. In the past, except for some guys who died early or failed in power struggle, they are now in a high position and power struggle.
