Tang Bohu Marries Qiuxiang

Chapter 120 Monarch Power and Subject Power

Looking at the melancholy on Yang Tinghe's face, Liu Jian said to Li Dongyang: "Can he become Tang Bohu's shackles?"

"Never underestimate young people." Li Dongyang continued: "One day Yang Tinghe will enter the cabinet. If Zhu Houzhao ascends the throne and Tang Bohu and others accompany the prince for many years, they may become powerful in the future! The cabinet has always represented the civil servants of the world. To limit imperial power, so we need young officials like Yang Ting and others to limit Tang Bohu! At least Tang Bohu can't be allowed to act recklessly."

"From one point of view, you, Li Dongyang, seem to be hostile to Tang Bohu." Liu Jian said.

Li Dongyang said again: "I have no hostility towards Tang Bohu! It's just that there are too many people who are hostile to Tang Bohu. The old man thinks that this young man will die under the criticism of literati, so I want Yang Tinghe to enter the cabinet. One day of recruiting can limit Tang Bohu!"

"If it is an enemy, I hope that Tang Bohu will have an opponent in the future! Yang Tinghe is the most suitable candidate for this opponent."

Liu Jian nodded, "I'm afraid that Tang Bohu is a white-eyed wolf with such painstaking efforts by Mr. Li Ge."

Li Dongyang shook his head and smiled wryly.

On the other side of the palace, Zhu Youtang persuaded Empress Zhang who just wanted to hang herself, "Why are you so impulsive!"

Empress Zhang sobbed and said: "The concubine is incompetent! I didn't educate my brother well, and even did such a rebellious thing. My Zhang family has always been blessed by the holy family, and I dare not do anything beyond the boundaries. Now my brother's actions make me Zhang The family has owed the emperor's favor, and your majesty's concubines only want to die."

He Ding stood silently at the side and watched coldly, not knowing whether this Empress Zhang was really crying or fake crying.

"You and I are husband and wife!" Zhu Youtang went on to say: "One day couples still have a hundred days of grace. As for the matter of Shou Ninghou, he was just confused for a while from the beginning, but now this matter is not so simple. You Don't worry, I will give you an explanation."

"Your Majesty!" Empress Zhang burst into tears.

Zhu Youtang went on to say: "Don't worry, I will definitely check it out!"

The bitter autumn wind in the quiet Forbidden City was blowing Zhu Youtang's hair bun, "He Ding, do you know why Xu Pu wants to grow old at this time?"

He Ding is a smart man, as for why Zhu Youtang asked such a question?He already understands everything. Since Zhu Youtang married the queen, how many officials have persuaded and dissuaded him. They have always favored Queen Zhang and Zhu Youtang's family, and even named his father-in-law the Shangzhu Kingdom. .

Today there is a turbulent undercurrent in the court, but He Ding can tell that Zhu Youtang doesn't want to lose his wife and depose the queen?It is impossible to do it just by the mouths of those few civil servants.

"Old servant, go and investigate now!" He Ding said.

"Stop!" Zhu Youtang called He Ding to stop him and said, "Xu Pu is getting old, he must be careful in doing things!"

A trace of doubt flashed in He Ding's eyes, then he knelt on the ground and said, "Old slave obeys."

Zhu Youtang went on to say: "Call me Mou Bin, and pass on my order for Tang Bohu and the crown prince to return to Beijing!"

"Yes!" He Ding resigned.

This year's autumn is very cold, He Ding tightened his robe and Zhu Youtang understood very well, he returned to his Dongchang Admiral's Mansion, Xu Pu should pay attention to propriety when he is old!He Ding naturally understood what the current emperor meant, Xu Pu had too many wings in the court.

Sudden resignation now will inevitably cause some turmoil in Daming's officialdom, and Xu Pu just wants to use this to create momentum for the deposed Empress Zhang, making Zhu Youtang a dilemma.

Since Zhu Youtang himself hinted in this way, it is impossible for He Ding to do nothing!Why did you suddenly resign?It is natural to find out the reason for resignation, and this reason does not matter if Xu Pu said it, and the civil officials of the Manchu Dynasty did not say it, but the evidence found by Dongchang has the final say. Zhu Youtang also gave a hint.

It is not the first time Dongchang has done such a thing as fabricating a crime. The existence of Dongchang is also to remove troubles for the emperor. Xu Pu resigned from office to build momentum, and threatened Zhu Youtang to depose the queen with his resignation. This Queen Zhang is How could he offend Xu Pu, an old fellow?

But no matter what, as the admiral of the East Factory, He Ding has an advantage, that is, the eyeliner all over the capital can spy on almost every corner of the capital!
There is only one way to silence those civil servants who support Xu Pu!Are you Xu Pu a teacher?If you are a corrupt official, how many people still support you?

However, Zhu Youtang has another sentence, "Xu Pu is old, and he must be careful in doing things!"

He Ding smiled wryly and said to himself: "If Tang Bohu was with him, there must be a better way. You Xu Pu has been in the cabinet for so many years, and now you want to resign? How can it be so easy, this time Xu Pu is afraid It's about to lose a layer of skin! But since your majesty doesn't want to make things worse, leave Xu Pu with his life!"

"Come on!" He Ding ordered loudly.

A few bannermen from the East Factory hurried over, "I've seen the factory supervisor!"

"Check out all the people related to Xu Pu, not even the cabinet!" He Ding sat on the grand master's chair.

"Yes!" Several bannermen from Dongchang ordered, but they were a little nervous, the cabinet!That is the core of civil servants, Dongchang wants to join the cabinet!

On this day, the Dongchang people acted nervously and quickly. A conspiracy was quietly unfolded under the operation of the Dongchang under the hint of Zhu Youtang.

There has always been a saying in the Ming Dynasty that the monarch and his ministers rule the world together!But the emperor is not blind. The existence of Dongchang and Jinyiwei is meaningful. The purpose is to balance this point in a certain sense, to balance the power of the monarch and the power of ministers. During the Hongwu period, Zhu Yuanzhang founded Jinyiwei to consolidate his imperial power.

At this moment, Xu Pu threatens Zhu Youtang's imperial power by threatening to sue his elders!Xu Pu has formed a party and privately owned too many of his cliques in recent years. Zhu Youtang understands this, so he has been quietly trying to erase Xu Pu's power little by little. Now that Xu Pu wants to do it now, then Zhu Youtang can only cut the mess quickly!
If Xu Pu loses this time, the power of the court may be reshuffled. If Xu Pu wins this time, the power of the ministers will overshadow the imperial power. This is what Zhu Youtang does not want to see!This matter has nothing to do with Queen Zhang's family, but a game between the power of the monarch and the power of the ministers.

But Shou Ninghou and Queen Zhang were just the fuse that ignited the bomb.

Jin Yiwei Commander Mu Bin walked into the Qianqing Palace and knelt in front of Zhu Youtang, "Minister Jin Yiwei Commander Mu Bin, pay homage to Your Majesty!"

"Get up." Zhu Youtang said while looking at the memorial: "How is Shou Ninghou doing in Dali Temple Prison now?"
