In the Ganqing Palace, in the familiar hall, Zhu Youjian and Lu Fan stood in front and behind.

At this moment, Zhu Youjian's face was very gloomy, and he was even a little scared.

Neither of them spoke until after a while, the emperor's anger subsided a little before he spoke.

"This time, Lu Fan, you told me in time. Otherwise, General Yuan would have been taken to the imperial prison. If he didn't die, he would have to peel off his skin!"

Lu Fan didn't say anything, he knew that Zhu Youjian had something to ask next.

"Where is Luo Yangxing? Have you taken it?"

"He has been taken to the imperial prison!" Lu Fan paused and then continued: "After the Beizhen Fushi issued an order to capture Yuan Chonghuan, Luo Yangxing went straight to the imperial prison. He probably wanted to torture the commander Yuan and confirm the confession in advance! Fortunately, I stopped him halfway ahead of time!"

Zhu Youjianteng suddenly became angry again, "Luo Yangxing, how dare he be? Why is he so bold? Just because I scolded him, he attacked the ministers I valued. He was lawless, and he was simply lawless!"

"This..." Lu Fan sighed and said, "The reason why Luo Yangxing targeted Yuan Chonghuan was because of his weaknesses in Supervisor Yuan and he was indeed deeply involved with the eunuch party. There is definite evidence that Supervisor Yuan was one of the earliest people who built a temple for Wei Zhongxian, and he also wrote many letters to praise Wei Zhongxian for his merits!"

Zhu Youjian waved his hand impatiently and said helplessly: "At the time when the eunuch party was powerful, Yuan Shixu and the comrades were forced to do it. Before I ascended the throne, I had to be careful in facing Wei Zhongxian and dare not offend him at all?"

Lu Fan said nothing more about this.

I have to say that Zhu Youjian really trusted Yuan Chonghuan to the core, and even personally spoke out to relieve him of his crime. It’s just a pity that Yuan Chonghuan is a man with great ambition and talent. The so-called five-year pacification of Liao is just a joke!

"Lu Fan, the court officials reacted very much in this matter. I could sense it. They were really afraid of the Jinyiwei!"

Speaking of this, Zhu Youjian turned around and looked at Lu Fan, and his voice subconsciously lowered a little, "I have experienced the disaster of the factory guards during the eunuch party period. I thought that after I ascended the throne, I could firmly grasp this power, but Luo Yang's nature matter reminded me that the Jinyiwei was a group of wolves, and one of them could not handle it well, and it would even cause fire to burn me!"

"Many ministers in the court have submitted memorials to abolish the Jinyiwei. I also feel that the existence of Jinyiwei has made the court officials and I unable to unite themselves, and has become an obstacle to the revival of the Ming Dynasty. I wonder what do you think about this, Lu Fan?"

What do I think? I think you are just a bad pen, can you?

He felt very sorry for his heart, but Lu Fan said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the Jinyiwei has been around for more than two hundred years since the establishment of Taizu. The personnel involved are extremely complex. Moreover, many noble children have hereditary positions in the Jinyiwei. If they are abolished rashly, they will probably cause greater cholera!"

Zhu Youjian sighed, "I know this too, so I haven't expressed my opinion for a long time."

"Actually, my initial plan was to move the Jinyiwei agency to Nanjing and stay in Nanjing for retirement, but several cabinet elders expressed their disagreement, worried that cholera would cause civil unrest!

"So, this matter is deadlocked here! It cannot be abolished, and the court officials who moved to Nanjing disagree. This matter is very difficult to deal with!"

Lu Fan sneered in his heart. He remembered that in history, after Chongzhen came to power, he was deceived by the Donglin Party members and left the factory guards idle aside and no longer activated them.

Unexpectedly, after his own calculations, after experiencing Luo Yangxing's incident, these guys actually directly wanted to abolish the factory guards.

"Your Majesty wants to move to the Jinyiwei, but in fact he may not have to move to Nanjing. If he changes places, such as Shanxi and Liaodong, the court masters will definitely agree with each other!"

For the Donglin Party members, as long as the Jinyiwei does not go to Jiangnan to harm their hometown. As for whether they are causing harm to others in other places, they don’t care!

"Oh?" Zhu Youjian's eyes lit up, and then he fell into deep thought, thinking about the feasibility of this suggestion.

"Your Majesty, in fact, the real elite among the Jinyiwei is just the five thousand households in the Beizhenfusi. As for the Nanzhenfusi and the remaining thousand households, most of them are noble children who do not have the ability to live and wait for death. If they stay in the capital, they will not cause any trouble."

"If Your Majesty is interested, I can lead a group of Tiqi cavalry in the Beizhenfushi to the border area after the new year, establish a garrison, so that you can farm and support yourself, and you can also investigate and inquire about the movements of Jiannu. It is better than staying in the capital to cause trouble for Your Majesty and all officials!"

After saying this, Zhu Youjian was immediately moved.

If you keep the Jinyiwei, the monarch and his subjects will be suspicious of each other and will not be able to serve the country in one's own mind.

For him who is determined to become the leader of Zhongxing, the current Jinyiwei is a pity in his eyes, but if he doesn't throw it away, he will be in trouble and messy.

The suggestion Lu Fan made at this moment is a good way.

Transferring from the capital, going to the frontier, and collecting information, the Jinyiwei can have a place to be useful, and all officials in the court can be invisible and not upset. This is a good idea.

"Lu Fan, the bitter and cold land in the border is not as prosperous and comfortable as the capital. If you take them out, you can be sure to control it. If it causes a mutiny, wouldn't it be dangerous?"

"Your Majesty, the Jinyiwei is one of the Mingyiwei stations, but their authority is far greater than that of ordinary guards. Foreign intelligence and reconnaissance are their functions. If they can't even suffer at all, what qualifications do they have to serve as Jinyiwei?"

Zhu Youjian was overjoyed when he heard this, "It's good that you have confidence. I will discuss this with the ministers in the court. Don't worry, I won't treat you badly! The Jinyiwei is not a serious way to promote military officers. After all, I will give you a bright future when you make contributions in the future."

"By the way, the matter of clearing out the remnants of the eunuch party will end here. Don't be involved anymore. If the case is to be closed, it will be settled as soon as possible before the New Year!"

Lu Fan nodded and bowed.

He understood that the days when he led thousands of elite troops from the Northern Fushi Department were not far away!

...........

On the 27th day of the twelfth lunar month, the shadows that filled the entire capital finally calmed down.

The Jinyiwei work on eliminating the remnants of the eunuch party was completely over, and it did not continue to expand and affect other people.

This made the atmosphere of the entire Beijing city relax and we could finally have a safe New Year.

It was also on this day that Lu Fan was given a flying fish suit and received the order of serving as the commander of the Jinyiwei, becoming a third-rank military officer!
