The next day, after the morning court ended, when Zhu Youjian returned to the Ganqing Palace, his complexion was very rosy and he looked in a very good mood.

After entering the hall, he couldn't help chatting with Lu Fan.

"Lu Fan, as we talked yesterday, Wei Zhongxian couldn't hold on anymore, so he wrote a "Saint Memorial for Building a Temple for a Long Time" and asked to stop building a temple for him. I followed the flow and reluctantly agreed to his memorial. This matter was over!"

Lu Fan quickly congratulated, "Congratulations to Your Majesty. Next, Your Majesty only needs to reward Wei Zhongxian and others from time to time and win them over for the time being, and you will be safe and sound!"

"Haha, Lu Fan, you have made contributions to protecting the emperor this time, but you have anything you want, but it doesn't matter. I will definitely reward you!" In a good mood, Zhu Youjian wanted to win over Lu Fan and made a promise.

As soon as the emperor said this, Ding Baiying and others were a little envious.

Logically speaking, they followed the emperor for a longer time and were the other party's confidants, but it seems that His Majesty's emphasis on Lu Fan is still above their earlier people in the palace.

Especially San'er, she felt a little angry. She was doing things for His Majesty. Why is the gap so big?

Only Ding Baiying knew that in His Majesty's eyes, these people were just martial artists, but Lu Fan was different. Not only was he good at it, but more importantly, he had insight.

Every time I express my opinion, I hit the nail on the head, and it is far more reliable and feasible than the various memorials given by the ministers in the court.

In ancient times, Ganluo was twelve years old and was named Prime Minister, but Lu Fan, who was about the same age as Your Majesty, may have been a capable minister in the eyes of Your Majesty, and his status is naturally much higher than that of their group of martial artists who only know how to fight and kill.

Facing the envious gazes of Zhu Youjian's praise, Ding Baiying and others, Lu Fan smiled slightly and shook his head quickly.

"How dare I reward you for sharing your worries?"

Zhu Youjian looked stern and pretended to be angry and said, "You don't have any jokes. I said I would reward you, so I will naturally reward you. Lu Fan, can you resist the order?"

Lu Fan pretended to be frightened and said quickly: "Your Majesty wants to reward me, it is better to reward me with a big house. If I could reward a few more beautiful maids, it would be even better!"

Zhu Youjian was a little surprised and looked at Lu Fan with wide eyes, for a moment, speechless.

He actually knew Lu Fan's background. Before using the other party, he had sent someone to investigate the background of his family background.

Lu Fan, whose ancestral home is from Pinghu, was from Zu Ji, and his military origin was affiliated with the Jinyiwei.

His father Lu Kui attacked Qianhu, and his grandfather Lu Yi attacked the assistant minister of the Jinyiwei.

His grandfather Lu Bing was the commander of the Jinyiwei during the Jiajing period. He was in charge of the Jinyiwei and was appointed as the left governor. He was appointed as the Prince Taibao. He died in the 39th year of Jiajing. He was named Wu Hui and was awarded the title of Zhongcheng Bo.

It can be said that the Lu family was once prominent, but unfortunately, the emperors after Jiajing had no good feelings for the Lu family, which caused the Lu family to decline, and each generation was worse than the previous generation.

By Lu Fan's generation, the power of the Jinyiwei was controlled by Wei Zhongxian, so he had not even had a hundred households to get involved, and could only temporarily make up for the general flag to live in a shortage.

It is precisely because of knowing Lu Fan's background that Zhu Youjian dared to use him with confidence.

It can be said that the Lu family has been a royal hawk for generations. No matter how capable it is, it is absolutely guaranteed in terms of loyalty.

Originally, in Zhu Youjian's opinion, after receiving the reward he promised himself, Lu Fan would definitely want to restore the glory of his ancestors. Not to mention taking charge of the Jinyiwei, but hereditary position as a thousand household in his father is indispensable, right?

But who knew that this kid was so unambitious and wanted to enjoy himself. He had no intention of shining his family and revitalizing his ancestors.

As an emperor, of course, I don’t want my ministers to have too much ambitions, but you have some sense of fame and fortune, otherwise what will you use to reward and inspire you in the future?

"You..."

Zhu Youjian was a little amused and cried, and he felt a little disappointed, but he felt relieved in his heart.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t have ambition. Just put you in a certain position and be able to do things. If everyone is as ambitious as Wei Zhongxian, how can he manage this Ming Dynasty?

"Let's do this. It's probably still some time before the eunuch party is eradicated. During this period, you should think carefully about what you want. When you figure it out, you will answer my previous questions!"

This was a test for Lu Fan, and Zhu Youjian was very satisfied with the result.

As for how to reward the other party in the future, as the emperor, he must also consider it carefully. There is no doubt that Lu Fan is a capable person. If he uses it well, it will definitely have a great effect!

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

With a bow, Lu Fan stood aside without hesitation. As for what he was thinking in his heart, no one knew!

...........

The new emperor ascended the throne and celebrated the whole world. The next capital can be said to be a rare peace and tranquility.

Wei Zhongxian was busy catering to the new emperor and winning the emperor's favor. He did not cause any more trouble for Zhu Youjian to make a headache and difficult to decide.

With this free time, Zhu Youjian, who had taken action, transferred some subordinates who had been raised in the palace of Prince Xin one after another. Under his instructions, he appeared secretly at the homes of some ministers in the court, discussing some secrets that were unknown to outsiders.

Until a month later, in the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Youjian summoned Lu Fan alone again.

"Lu Fan, I feel that I have prepared almost the same. During this period, most of the eunuchs and maids in the palace have been replaced. Many ministers in the court have also shown their loyalty and have even instigated several envoys of the eunuch party. Especially the Eunuch Zhao in the East Factory, who secretly surrendered to me. With his restraint, it will be difficult for Wei Zhongxian to mobilize the power of the East Factory smoothly."

As he was talking, Zhu Youjian's expression showed a hint of hesitation, "But the power of the eunuch party is still very strong. I am afraid that this move will cause the entire eunuch party to counterattack. At that time, the court will be unstable, and it may affect the entire Ming Dynasty!"

After hearing the emperor's worries, Lu Fan smiled unanimously and said, "It is not difficult to eradicate Wei Zhongxian. No matter how much power the other party has, his power ultimately comes from your Majesty.

The difficulty is that Your Majesty has thought about how to fill those vacant positions after the eunuch party is destroyed?”

"Fill? Why fill it?"

Zhu Youjian frowned and said, "There is great harm to the eunuchs' rebellion. After the eunuchs' party is eradicated, I am not going to reuse the Dongchang Jinyiwei anymore. I want to be the leader of Zhongxing. The eunuchs' rebellion must end with me!"

"His Majesty!"

Lu Fan sighed, saying that he shouldn't have said something, but after these contacts over the years, he did feel from Zhu Youjian the desire of the Ming Dynasty to make the people live and work in peace and contentment.

It was precisely because of this that he wanted to give it another try and persuade the emperor who was already passionate about it.
