The spring rain was still rustling. Emperor Jiajing, dressed as a young man, returned to the Ganqing Palace's Yangxin Hall. While changing clothes under the eunuch's service, he said happily: "My little nephew is getting cute as he grows older. Haha, if Xu Jin knows that his son will call him uncle first, not father, I wonder what he will react?"

The eunuch Huang Jin, the imperial prisoner, smiled flatteringly, "I guess Jing'an Bo will beat his son's little ass."

Zhu Houxiang raised his eyebrows and said, "He dares to beat my nephew!"

Lu Bing laughed and said, "I beat my son in heaven and earth, and the emperor doesn't care."

Zhu Houcan laughed and said, "That's right!"

By the way, Zhu Houxiang, the boy, slipped out of the palace after the afternoon of the afternoon today and went to Jing'an Bo Mansion to visit Xie Xiaowan and his nephew Xu Kang. Not long ago, Xu Kang turned one year old. Due to his adequate nutrition, he was able to barely stand up and began to learn to speak.

Zhu Houxiang repeatedly teased Xu Kang to call him uncle with a kick, but the little guy actually called out the word "uncle". I guess the little guy thought it was novel, so he called "uncle" for the afternoon of "uncle" like a drum and drum, but the boy Zhu Houxiang was so happy that he immediately rewarded a lot of things.

Zhu Houcon changed into home clothes, rested for a while, then sat down before the imperial desk to review the memorial. Suddenly, something woke up and asked, "Bing, haven't Zhang Cong and Gui E arrived in Beijing yet?"

By the way, Huang Jin and Lu Bing have been Zhu Houcan's playmates since childhood. The difference is that Huang Jin was lacking a companion to read eunuchs, while Lu Bing was a follower with complete parts. Now both of them have become the confidants around the little emperor [Shuquge www.shuquge.co].

Since returning from the mission to Shanxi to provide disaster relief, Huang Jin was promoted to the eunuch of the imperial prison, and Lu Bing was also named a hundred households of the Jinyiwei, and he followed Zhu Houcong all day long.

"When you return to the emperor, Zhang Cong and Gui E entered Beijing this morning and reported to the Ministry of Personnel in the afternoon." Lu Bing replied cleverly.

It is said that Lu Bing is younger than Zhu Houcong, but this kid is tall, with very long legs and a red face. He walks like a flamingo, and he is young and has a bit of the aura of a military general.

Zhu Houcon nodded happily when he heard this. The reason why he tried hard to win his father the title of emperor was, on the one hand, because he had a deep relationship with his father Zhu Youze, and on the other hand, he wanted to establish a royal orthodox of his own lineage. Zhang Cong was the first minister to submit a memorial to support him, so although Zhang Cong was just a new Jinshi at the time, he still left an indelible impression on his mind.

Now that Zhu Houcan has ascended the throne for two years, his throne has basically been solid. Unless Yang Tinghe dares to rebel, no one can touch him, so the boy was confident to transfer Zhang Cong back to Beijing and was determined to fight against Yang Tinghe.

It is worth mentioning here that the dispute over "Great Ceremony" seems to be a discussion of rituals, but its essence is the struggle between Emperor Jiajing's imperial power and Yang Tinghe's ministerial power. If Zhu Houcong wants to be completely in power, he must get rid of Yang Tinghe, the chief minister who has the merit of "establishing a king". This is obviously an irreconcilable contradiction.

Zhu Houcong was reviewing the memorial in a happy mood. At this time, the eunuch Bi Yun, the eunuch of the Sili Supervisor, walked in, holding a large stack of memorials in his arms, knelt down in front of the imperial case and screamed: "I wish you goodbye to the emperor."

Zhu Houcan raised his head and saw the large stack of memoirs being held by Bi Yun, and couldn't help but say bitterly: "Get up, put it here!"

Bi Yun stood up, carefully placed the memorial on the right side of the imperial case, and then divided it into two stacks, explaining: "Your Majesty, these are memorials sent by the Tongzheng Envoy today, and these are memorials returned by the cabinet."

Zhu Houcong picked up a cabinet-received memorial and opened it and said angrily: "It's unreasonable, why should Yang Tinghe reject my decree?"

Zhu Houcong was holding Xu Jin's memorial at this moment.

On the tenth day of March, Xu Jin published two memorials, one was a memorial to perform the work of the Five Hundred Battalions, the other was a memorial to request the casting of the second batch of flintlock rifles and the expansion of the Five Hundred Battalions.

The Five Hundred Battalions wiped out nearly a thousand Japanese pirates in Dongtai County, and also seized goods worth nearly 700,000 taels of silver, and also "broken" million taels of silver for the Japanese. Zhu Houcan was naturally very happy and wished to go to Jiangnan to fight pirates and pirates with Xu Jin. Therefore, Zhu Houcan waved his pen and readily approved Xu Jin's request, and ordered the cabinet to issue an order to reward the Five Hundred Battalions.

However, although the cabinet headed by Yang Tinghe agreed to reward the 500 battalions of soldiers and generals and also agreed to cast the second batch of flintlock rifles, it opposed the expansion of the 500 battalions, so it returned the memorial approved by the little emperor.

It is obvious that Yang Tinghe did not want to see Xu Jin's military power continue to increase, so he rejected the decree of the young emperor Zhu Houcong.

"Prince, please calm down. It is not the first time that Mr. Yang rejected the emperor's order. Let's drink a cup of tea first to calm down." Huang Jin quickly poured a cup of tea for Zhu Houcong.

Huang Jin is not sure whether he is stupid or intentional, but this sentence is undoubtedly adding fuel to the fire. After hearing this, Zhu Houcong became more and more angry. Yang Tinghe is just his subject, but he repeatedly refuted his orders. Such arrogance is just a merit of helping me ascend the throne. It is outrageous. I want him!

Bi Yun glared at Huang Jin and said carefully: "Emperor, Mr. Yang is a clean and upright official, and he works diligently in office. He manages state affairs in an orderly manner. Although there are flaws, the flaws do not cover up the merits. Since he temporarily disagrees with the expansion of the five hundred camps, it should make sense."

Zhu Houcong's face turned a little darker and said, "He makes sense, that is, I'm unreasonable? Did you, an old guy, take a lot of benefits?"

Bi Yun was so scared that he knelt on the ground and said tremblingly: "I dare not. I am loyal to the emperor. These are all heartfelt words. Heaven and earth can be seen. If the emperor does not believe it, I will resign from the position of the Chief Secretary for Literature."

Zhu Houcong's face was a little slow and said coldly: "Get up, I'm not so stupid that I can't tell the difference between good and bad. Yang Tinghe is indeed a capable official. This is absolutely undeniable. I'm just angry."

Bi Yun stood up tremblingly, but he didn't dare to say anything more. Huang Jin ate Zhu Houcan and was so scared that he hurriedly lowered his head.

Speaking of the last Emperor Zhengde favored eunuchs, so that eunuchs were chaotic and chaotic in the government. Zhu Houcong learned a lesson and strictly controlled internal officials and was absolutely not allowed to interfere in politics. Even the eunuchs sent to various places were removed by him.

Looking at the emperors of the Ming Dynasty, except for the founding emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, eunuchs were the most influential in the Jiajing Dynasty. There were very few eunuchs who could count their names, let alone eunuchs like Liu Jin and Wei Zhongxian. So in the eyes of Emperor Jiajing, the definition of eunuchs is a family slave!

Zhu Houxiang is undoubtedly extremely smart. He was so angry that he was so angry that he was provoked by Huang Jin. At this moment, he soon came back and shouted: "Come here, drag this pickup down and put three sticks!"

Immediately a servant came in and dragged Huang Jin down and poked him three times, which made this guy cry and howl.

By the way, Huang Jin is just a man of a man. The reason why he suddenly had a whim was that he was not happy with Yang Tinghe, so he wanted to follow the emperor's emotions and had no other ulterior motives.

After Zhu Houcong beat Huang Jin who was unruly, he thought for a moment and said, "Eunuch Bi, I will send me an oral order that I will make Zhang Cong the rank of the household department and Gui E as the criminal department, so that the cabinet will discuss this matter."

Bi Yun felt a stern in his heart and said respectfully: "Yes!"

"Go!" Zhu Houcan waved his hand.

Eunuch Bi lowered his head and carefully retreated from the Palace of Heart and Heart. Then he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart that the emperor is really growing very fast and has just become aware of the emperor's mind.

Zhu Houcong did not continue to expand the camp with Yang Ting on the matter of expanding the camp of the Five Hundred Camp, but instead wanted to stuff Zhang Cong and Gui E into the Six Centres. This trick was really useful in surrounding Wei and saving Zhao.

You should know that although there are only seventh ranks in the six departments, which is one rank lower than the position of chief, this position is extremely important. It can block and cancel the documents of the cabinet and the six departments, and use small to control the big, which can be said to have strangled the throat of the cabinet.

Moreover, the six departments have the right to participate in the Changchao. Therefore, if Yang Tinghe wants to stop Zhang Cong and Gui E from taking up the six departments, he must make concessions and agree to the expansion of the five hundred camps.
