Finally grown up! From now on, Yun Zheng, Yun Chengfeng, Young Marshal Yun, Third Young Master Yun... are finally a good young man who can legitimately pick up beautiful girls.
It's good to be an adult. Look, at least Yun Zheng can now tell Xiao He to move to the outside room of his bedroom without changing his face. This is also one of the conventions of this era. Yun Zheng's behavior is not extraordinary.
House girl, that's too normal
But even so, Yun Zheng can't enjoy the soft jade and warm fragrance at the moment, because less than two hours after his crowning ceremony, the imperial edict announcing his immediate entry to the capital has arrived in Tanzhou.
The holy envoy who announced the decree was actually a guy whom Yun Zheng knew. His name was Huang Minghua. He was in his mid-thirties and came from a poor family. Because he had no connections, he had been unsuccessful in the court in the past few years and had always been a short-term scholar.
Later, when Lin Xi's Liuye Party began to form, she very wisely chose to hang out with him, because she joined the Liuye Party relatively early, and now she seems to be a relatively core member.
Although Yunzheng spends most of his time in Yanjing, and even if he goes to Luoyang, he is not very involved in the internal affairs of Lin Xi's Liuye Party, but absolutely no one in the Liuye Party dares not to regard him as one of the core members of the Liuye Party.
Huang Minghua and Huang Hanlin are naturally no exception.
"Oh, Marshal, there are only two of us here, so we don't need to be polite to outsiders... No, the imperial edict is here. You can take it for yourself. In fact, there is nothing else to do. I just want you to return to Beijing quickly.
Huang Minghua politely supported Yunzheng, who was about to pay homage to the imperial edict, and said with a smile on his face.
Yun Zheng glanced at him meaningfully, and suddenly smiled: "If I remember correctly, Mr. Huang is an authentic Jinshi, ranked... ninth on the second list?"
Huang Minghua's smile became even brighter: "Young Marshal has a good memory. Thanks to the Young Marshal's concern, Minghua is the ninth Jinshi in the Enke List in the fourth year of Wanchang. I wonder if the Young Marshal asked this...?"
"Oh, haha, it's nothing, I'm just a little curious. I heard that there was some commotion in the court over my empty-headed prostitute this time... well, it's a bit inexplicable. I just want to ask, Mr. Huang, you are also a poor scholar, what do you think about this matter?
What's your attitude?"
"Does the young marshal really care about whether those people agree or not?" Huang Minghua smiled: "Not to mention whether you want to explore the flowers or not, for the young marshal, it is completely dispensable, so what if you don't want it? Well, to say the least, even if
It is actually very easy to keep this Tanhua, and it does not even require much effort from the young commander. In recent years, although the emperor has not been much involved in the affairs of the border town, he has been somewhat strict with the ministers and servants in the court...
…hehe"
Hey, don't you care about the border towns? The emperor has thought about asking, but unfortunately he came to power with the help of our Yun family. The four major border towns have now become big, and he doesn't even know whether the central army is worthy of use.
If you dare to vouch for it, how can you have the courage to ask the border town?
Righteousness? Orthodoxy? Of course, these emperors did have them, but none of the four major border towns really did anything extraordinary. Taxes were still collected by the imperial court, weapons were still provided by the imperial court on schedule and in quantity, and military strength was still there.
It has been maintained according to the quota set in the past, not to mention that there is no objection at all, even disrespect, you can't find it on the table. In this way, even if the emperor has great righteousness and orthodoxy, he can't attack the four families anymore.
Didn't the previous emperors try to attack only one of them and stabilize the other three at the same time, but they all ended in failure? Because the four families are not stupid, everyone knows that if you suppress the other families today, if I don't object, tomorrow
Will it be my turn to be suppressed? Therefore, although there is often some discord or even some opposition between the four families, as soon as the emperor takes action, the four families will definitely join forces to resist, unless the emperor is willing to bet his own country.
Otherwise, the only choice is to give in.
Since Emperor Wanchang couldn't do anything about the four major border towns, he had to focus on the ministers in the court, so he has really organized the court internally well in recent years. Of course, this good thing is only based on a
The high-end balance is not forcibly controlled by military strength. In other words, it is the result of the emperor playing a balance game between several civil servant families and poor officials.
Therefore, the control is under control, but sometimes there are some troubles - such as the current incident of Yunzheng Yun Tanhua: Although the emperor can indeed insist on the canonization by force, and then directly issue the imperial edict in the form of a decree without going through the cabinet
Yunzheng himself, as long as he is willing to accept the order, everything will be done. But the problem is that the emperor really doesn't want to do this, because the cost is a bit high, and if he doesn't do it, he will break the balance he has finally established among the courtiers.
This is the reason why the emperor allowed the court to quarrel without reaching a conclusion. He was waiting for Yunzheng to pass, because once Yunzheng arrived there in person, the conflict between the courtiers would become a conflict between the courtiers and the border town. However,
The problem is that there is another thing here, that is, there are forces that help the Yun family among the courtiers, and there are also forces that oppose the Yun family in the border towns. In this way, no matter what the final result is, the emperor can make the courtiers and the border towns have internal conflicts.
Cracks would prevent an integrated force from forming. Of course, this would not threaten the imperial power.
Originally, Yunzheng didn't think about these issues deliberately, but just because he didn't think about it before didn't mean that he couldn't think of it. After reading so many palace novels and TV series, he had some understanding of the dirty and shameless power struggle. Moreover, he had been influenced by it.
My mother has taught me twice, but I don’t want to rely on my mother’s guidance every time in the future.
From the moment of the crowning ceremony, Yunzheng had decided to take up the promising career of young marshal, so he had to start thinking about these things.
"I really don't care too much about whether you want to explore flowers or not, right? Lin...oh, I mean, what does King Yueyang mean?"
"The prince naturally tries his best to protect the young marshal's title of third flower. There is no doubt about this," Huang Minghua said seriously.
Hehe, of course Lin Xi defends me. If he doesn’t defend me, who will? We are the backbone of his Sixth Master Party. The louder our name is, the greater the benefit to him. Naturally, he will not understand such a simple thing.
This is not what we asked, so Yun Zheng said in other words: "Haha, what I mean is, what does King Yueyang think of the situation in the court, and what does he think of how I should deal with it after I arrive in Luoyang?"
When Huang Minghua heard this, he realized that he had misunderstood it. However, Lin Xi did not reveal this to him, so he could only say apologetically: "I'm afraid I won't know until the young marshal meets with the prince."
Yunzheng nodded, thought for a moment, opened the imperial edict and read it. After a while, he suddenly asked: "What, the imperial edict said that I should leave immediately after seeing the edict?"
Huang Minghua said with a smile: "Of course that's what I said, but it makes perfect sense for the young marshal to be crowned today, rest for a day, and start again tomorrow."
Yun Zheng was a little moved, but in the end he shook his head: "No, I'll leave today."
