Chapter 44: Promoted to Jin Yiwei Qianhu
The eunuch Zhang Zhao, who was in charge of the Royal Horse Supervisor, was lifted down by the two imperial guards, and the three mountain caps on his head fell to the ground.
The Zhengde Emperor Zhu Houzhao just smiled slightly when he saw this. He saw Wang Yue, the eunuch in charge of the ceremony, still kneeling on the ground. His expression was a little indifferent, but his old muddy eyes were spinning as if he was still thinking about something.
Zhu Houzhao knew without asking that Wang Yue, the eunuch in charge of the ceremonial department, must have expressed shock at his sudden revolt.
But Zhu Houzhao didn't want to say anything more to Wang Yue, the eunuch in charge of the ceremony. He just raised his boot and stepped on the palm of the eunuch Wang Yue, the eunuch in charge of the ceremony. He changed his innocence from the past and bit his lips:
"Old Ancestor, your godson Zhang Zhao is not doing his job well. Isn't it inappropriate for me to remove him from the post of Royal Horse Supervisor, Eunuch, and Admiral of the Imperial Guards?"
Wang Yue, the eunuch in charge of the ceremony, knew that Zhu Houzhao wanted to express his position. Seeing the thick-soled boots stepping on his old hands very powerfully, he could also guess how much anger Zhu Houzhao had suppressed. He never expected that a fifteen-year-old The young emperor actually knew the city so deeply that he didn't notice anything strange in all these years!
However, Wang Yue, the eunuch in charge of the ceremony, knew that the emperor Zhu Houzhao suddenly attacked. He was completely unprepared and could not fight back at all. He could only grit his teeth and bear the severe pain from his fingers, and knocked his head heavily on the ground:
< br>
"Your Majesty, forgive me! I am not worthy of being an Emperor. I call you my ancestor. These are the ignorant people below. I hope your Majesty will calm down! Zhang Zhao is not my godson, he is just the Emperor." If the emperor takes pity on him, he can be spared. If he doesn't, it's okay to kill him. Zhang Zhao is incompetent, so it is even more appropriate for the emperor to remove his authority as the charioteer and commander of the army! "
Zhu Houzhao let go of his feet. He knew that if he wanted to go on the road of restoring the prestige of the Ming Dynasty, he was destined to be ruthless, and he could not be a bit kind to all his political opponents who stood in the way of his sole rule of the Ming Dynasty.
Politics has never been about playing house, nor is it just about conspiracy and scheming. It is more about following the law of the jungle.
"That's very good! After you return to the palace, you can draft an edict to remove Zhang Zhao, the Royal Horse Eunuch, from the post of admiral of the regiment camp and the imperial army. From now on, the imperial horse eunuch will be under the control of Liu Jin, and at the same time, Zhang Yong will be the admiral of the imperial army. The imperial eunuch oversees the 12th Regiment, do you understand?”
After Zhu Houzhao finished speaking, he looked at Wang Yue, the eunuch in charge of the ceremony.
Wang Yue, the eunuch in charge of the ceremony, said hurriedly: "I understand!"
At this time, Liu Jin and Zhang Yong also received orders one after another.
"After receiving the order, you must do your job well. If something like today happens again, I will never forgive you lightly!"
Zhu Houzhao said, mounted his horse and left Juechen.
Luhe, the eunuch and admiral of Dongchang, the eunuch and admiral of Dongchang, the ceremonial supervisor, hurriedly helped Wang Yue up: "Ancestor, are you okay?"
Wang Yue, the eunuch in charge of the ceremony, took out a silk handkerchief and wiped his red and swollen hands, then stretched out a bloodless hand to touch his cheek. He could not help but grimace in pain when he touched the wound.
"Your Majesty, this slap is really hard!"
Luhe couldn't help but say something.
"This is because we have been listening to the cabinet. Can we not be ruthless? The more ruthless ones are probably to come. We really misjudged the new emperor. It turns out that he is no longer the ignorant person of the past. Prince.”
Wang Yue, the eunuch in charge of the ceremony, said lightly. "In that case, what should we do?" Lu He asked.
"After all, we are rootless people. We are the slaves of the emperor on the surface. There is no way for slaves to openly compete with their masters. We can only ask the civil servants from other dynasties for help. Scholar-officials and the emperor can rule the world together. Only they can control the emperor. Although there are only emperors and ministers in one dynasty, as long as the civil servants control the emperor, we can be saved! ”
Wang Yue, the eunuch in charge of the Ceremony Supervisor, said and looked at Lu He again: "Now the Emperor estimates that he wants to seize the military power of the Royal Horse Supervisor first, and then he will take over your power in the East Factory. Now he just wants to evade you temporarily. Before it's too late, hurry up and find a way to send someone to The emperor asked Admiral Liu Jin to inform the cabinet about the forbidden soldiers, and at the same time find a way to rescue Zhang Zhaoxian. He still needs to take care of the regiment camp and the forbidden soldiers. When the time comes, as long as the civil servants help, he can still get the imperial horse supervisor to control the soldiers. Power!
In addition, tell Zhang Zhao and the people under us that the people of the world are still with the Ming Dynasty, and we cannot do without the royal family, so the purpose of our actions cannot be blamed on the emperor. The slaves cannot betray the master openly, otherwise they will be tolerated by the people of the world. It can only be said that we want to eliminate the traitors around His Majesty! It is necessary to punish the traitors! ”
Wang Yue, the eunuch in charge of the Li Supervisor, actually didn’t know how many back-up moves Zhu Houzhao had prepared, but he knew that he could only make a desperate move now. After all, no one who was cared about by the emperor would ever end well, so he still gave Lu He a few words. , but he didn't dare to say more. Seeing that Zhu Houzhao was about to turn around, he hurriedly walked up.
Zhu Houzhao knew that from the moment he passed the Meridian Gate today, the Forbidden City of the Ming Dynasty would no longer be quiet. He was waiting for the storm to come, and he was confident that he would win this competition.
Zhu Houzhao walked up to the assassination sergeant who had committed suicide. There was no trace of anger on his face, and he even had some resentment and gratitude. He only waved his hand: "Since the person is dead, I guess nothing can be found in the interrogation. Let's take him down and bury him!" ”
So, the two imperial guardsmen carried the assassinating sergeant down.
At this time, Zhu Houzhao looked at Guo Rong: "What's your name?"
Guo Rong slammed his feet together and straightened his chest, but his words were awkward: "Hui, your Majesty, the last general Guo Rong is the official of the Hundred Households of the Warrior Camp!"
"Your sword skills just now were very accurate and very fast, and you were successful in rescuing the driver. From now on, you are a member of the Imperial Guard of Qianhu, carrying a sword with you to serve the palace!"
Guo Rong did not expect that he would suddenly become a member of the Imperial Guard.
What's even more rare is that His Majesty the Emperor also asked him to accompany him to the palace, which surprised Guo Rong.
Only Zhu Houzhao himself knew that he was just taking this opportunity to find a reliable guard for himself. Now that he had begun to reveal his fangs that he had hidden for a long time, he was destined to face various risks from today on, so he had to place a guard beside him. Reliable escort.
Guo Rong is a low-level officer with a shallow foundation. Naturally, he has nothing to do with the senior officials of the imperial court, and it is easier for him to be loyal to him if he gives him favors.
In addition, being able to quickly and decisively cut off the assassin's arm in the solemn atmosphere of the emperor's return to the palace is not without courage and decisiveness. At the same time, not killing the assassin but only cutting off his arm can avoid being misunderstood as a murderer, which is not without wisdom.
There is no reason for Zhu Houzhao not to promote such a person as his confidant.
Moreover, Zhu Houzhao believed that if he gave him a chance, he would seize the opportunity and work hard to make progress.
