I have Futian in my heart

Chapter 749 Change
Zheng Xiaoming stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes slightly closed, as if he was asleep.

And the whole capital city has been alarmed by the news of Duke Xiayang's return, and soon the old man from Duke Xiayang's mansion came out of the city. After seeing Zheng Xiaoming, whose appearance hadn't changed in the slightest, he knelt down on the ground with a plop. Crying heartbreakingly: "Grandpa, you are finally back!"

······
······
"Is it true that Lord Xia Yang is back?"

The young emperor asked with a slightly excited tone.

The Commander of Jin Yiwei hesitated a bit, but said: "It should be true, right? Someone in Xiayang Gong's mansion has already recognized it. Xu Gonggong of the Imperial Prison also worked with Xiayang Hou in the past, and he also went to see it. I'm going down to Duke Yang..."

Hearing this, the young emperor couldn't help but beam with joy: "Great! Great! Duke Xiayang's return to the court is a great thing, a great thing!"

The current emperor is already the great-grandson of the old emperor.

Twenty-five years ago, the old emperor passed away.Then the crown prince ascended the throne, served as emperor for thirteen years, and then passed away.

Then the first emperor, who had been emperor for eight years, also passed away.

Now is the current emperor, and it has been two years since he succeeded to the throne.

The so-called age-old young master is nothing more than that!
For the control of today's huge court, I really feel powerless.

In the past thirty years, the situation of the imperial court has been different from that of the past.

The first is the further expansion of civil power and the further weakening of imperial power.Even though the military power of the Shanling Guard was not completely lost, the logistics, food and grass were all controlled by civilian officials.

As we all know, an army is nothing without logistics and supplies!

Just this one alone, you can see how the power of civil servants has expanded.

Fortunately, with the expansion of the power of the civil official group, it also represents the division of the civil official group, and the internal fighting has intensified.

If a group is not fighting for interests outside, then it can only roll inward.

The current civil service group is divided into two major groups, the Southern Party and the Northern Party, according to the region. The struggle is inextricable.

Now when the court is in court, the two groups of people are often quarreling in the dark, and they don't pay attention to the emperor at all.

The young emperor hated this, but he couldn't imagine it.With the return of Lord Xiayang at this moment, it feels like he has a backer.

Although the Duke of Xiayang hadn't been active for a long time back then, he had made great military exploits.

In addition, the invention of the four-wheeled carriage, and the road, etc., have profoundly affected the situation of the entire Ming Dynasty.

Thirty years ago, Xiayang Gong was still young and lacked qualifications.But now that thirty years have passed, once he returns to the court, he will immediately be a figure of the Taishan Beidou series in the Xungui Group!

"This... Eunuch Li is a little uncertain now..."

The Commander of Jin Yiwei said cautiously.

Eunuch Li is Li Hongyu who is now in power.

Although the further expansion of the civil service group oppressed the imperial power.The emperor could only rely on the eunuchs to fight against him, which naturally increased the power of the eunuch group.

As for the role of nobles, it can only be further reduced!
Now, a Duke Xia Yang suddenly appeared and came back, which is likely to threaten the status of the eunuch group.

Eunuchs and nobles are all forces on the side of the imperial power!

It's no wonder that Li Hongyu, the eunuch who is now the supervisor of ceremonies and Bingbi, is not very willing.

Although the eunuch is not the highest official position of the supervisor of ceremonies, but he is the person who really holds the supervisor of ceremonies, that is, the power of the inner court!

The young emperor was displeased when he heard the words: "That old man Li Hongyu is probably confused, Lord Xiayang is also my uncle, when is it his turn to say something!
Quickly invite Duke Xiayang to enter the palace, I want to have a conversation with Duke Xiayang..."

"I'm afraid there is something wrong with this!" Commander Jin Yiwei smiled wryly.

He is considered to be a figure in the Xungui Group. Don't forget that Jin Yiwei is a hereditary official, and he can be regarded as a member of the large group of Xungui 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 said: "My lord, don't forget. Back then, Lord Xiayang was already a peerless general, and later he left home to practice for thirty years. No one really knows how far his cultivation has reached now. what……"

Only Wushuang God Generals are not allowed to live in the capital... Of course, that was the rule thirty years ago.

Now those who have cultivated into Taibao and practiced horizontally are no longer peerless generals.After all, with the birth of the various immortal sects, there are so many masters, which greatly increased the level of force in the whole incident.

This greatly reduces the threat of the so-called unparalleled generals... and this is also one of the main reasons why the influence of noble generals has further decreased in the past thirty years!

But Zheng Xiaoming was different. Thirty years ago, it was said that he had already surpassed the level of the so-called Wushuang God General. Now that he has gone out to practice for thirty years, his appearance has not changed at all. What level has his cultivation reached now?

What if such an unknown person suddenly develops evil intentions when he meets the emperor?
But at this time, someone rushed in in a hurry and shouted: "The emperor is not good! Someone attacked Xia Yanggong just now, and it is said that it was sent by Li Gonggong, the eunuch Bingbi..."

This time, both the emperor and the commander of the Jinyiwei changed their colors in astonishment.

······
······
Earlier, the station outside the city.

Zheng Xiaoming met wave after wave of old relatives and old friends. He has the subordinates of Xiayang Gongfu, other honorable princes, and some former subordinates...

Back then, Zheng Xiaoming voluntarily left Daning Town to become a monk to practice.Although it gave the emperor and the court a great embarrassment, it also made the emperor and the court breathe a sigh of relief.

After all, there is no need to worry about how to arrange a great hero like Zheng Xiaoming!

Since Zheng Xiaoming had already left on his own initiative, the imperial court certainly couldn't treat other heroes badly.

Therefore, the group of people who followed Zheng Xiaoming were rewarded and promoted one after another, and now there are several generals in the Beijing camp who have gone out with Zheng Xiaoming.

The only pity is that Cao Darui, the supervisor of Daning Town back then, later became the Prime Minister of the Great Chu Cabinet seven or eight years later, and comprehensively promoted the investigation of guards and Beijing camps in various places.

It's a pity that because he offended too many people, he stepped down after not sitting on the position of prime minister for a few years.Everything that is implemented is halfway done!

Even the eunuchs who worked with Zheng Xiaoming at the beginning, although they didn't become the boss of Lijian or Yumajian, they are now considered a mountain top in the palace.

So, now that Zheng Xiaoming returned to the capital, a bunch of people came to meet and recognize him.The old friends from the past are now all high-ranking and powerful, except for some guys who died early or failed in power struggles.
