. No pop-up window, thousands of book fans are online at the same time. "Chen Ju, please ask the cabinet to send four bachelors to Qianqingmen! Well, also summon Shi Xing, the Minister of War, and Fan Qian, the Minister of Rites." ." Zhu Yijun ordered Chen Ju, who was bowing down.
I originally wanted to send people to the Wenhua Palace, but considering that the Wenhua Palace is too close to the cabinet after all, and the cabinet is usually full of officials, this is the key to the officials having a large-scale presentation to crown the eldest son of the emperor and select the concubine. At this moment, Zhu Yijun thought it was better to hide, so as not to be entangled by the officials.
"Yes, long live my lord, I will do it now." Chen Ju bowed his waist, took a few steps back, and was about to turn around and leave.
"I heard that Zhang Xun, Zhang Cheng's younger brother, married into the Wu Qinghou family?" Zhu Yijun said casually without looking up.
Chen Ju was shocked when he heard this, stopped in his tracks, and couldn't help but lick his lips. Even though the emperor just said it casually, isn't there a saying that accompanies a king like a tiger? This is a big or small thing! Based on his understanding of Zhu Yijun, if he didn't feel dissatisfied about something like this, he would definitely not say it out loud.
But even though he heard Zhu Yijun's dissatisfaction, Chen Ju didn't know whether Zhu Yijun just expressed his dissatisfaction with this matter or had another way to deal with it. After all, Zhang Cheng came from Prince Yu's palace, served Zhu Yijun in the East Palace, exposed Feng Bao's crimes, ransacked Zhang Juzheng's home, and has been in charge of the Supervisor of Ceremonies since the 12th year of Wanli. It can be said that he is deeply Zhu Yijun¡¯s trust.
"Long live my lord, as far as I know, Zhang Xun is Zhang Cheng's distant clan brother, and he is marrying a clansman who has been in the fifth service with Wu Qinghou. Although the marriage is true, it is also a bit far-fetched." Chen Ju had no choice but to say After telling what he knew, Zhu Yijun must also know everything clearly.
However, Chen Ju hoped that the emperor could capture Zhang Cheng because of this. First, since Zhang Cheng also took charge of Dongchang, his arrogance has become much more arrogant. The imperial concubine is very close; secondly, it is out of selfish motives. Now Zhang Cheng is the head of the internal officials among the twenty-four yamen, and the second one is himself. As long as Zhang Cheng falls
"Well, you go ahead." Zhu Yijun waved his hand and did not continue the topic, but motioned for Chen Ju to go do something.
After Chen Ju came out, he ordered people to go to the cabinet, the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Rites to deliver oral instructions, but his own heart could not calm down. His age is not much different from Zhang Cheng's. If Zhang Cheng doesn't make mistakes and continues to be favored, it will be difficult for him to ascend to the position of Chief Eunuch and Eunuch in this life. This is a golden opportunity!
After frowning and thinking for a moment, Chen Ju turned around and walked in the direction of Xuanwu Gate. He wanted to return to the Royal Horse Prison as soon as possible and "accidentally" revealed this matter to Zhang Yongnian. The eldest prince should know that Zhang Cheng is very close to Concubine Zheng, and as long as the eldest prince reveals to a few officials that the emperor is paying attention to this matter, I believe that those people will already be displeased with the increasingly arrogant Zhang Cheng. The Yanguan will seize the opportunity to act!
Through this incident, he has sold a favor to the eldest prince. He certainly does not want Zhang Cheng, who is getting closer and closer to Concubine Zheng, to be in such an important position, right? In addition, maybe you can get what you want, so why not? The eldest prince also knew that he had always been leaning towards him. As for whether it succeeds or fails in the end, I have no losses and the risks are very small.
After receiving the oral instructions from the young eunuch, the four bachelors in the cabinet did not dare to neglect, put down their respective affairs, left the cabinet, and went straight to the Qianqing Gate. Of course, they all had their own murmurs. Zhao Zhigao hinted that Shangshu was trying to win the crown and select concubines for the emperor's eldest son. Everyone knew it well. The ministers' memorials had probably just been seen by the emperor. Could it be so soon? result?
Unlike the cabinet, Shi Xing's Ministry of War was located farther away from the palace. So when he arrived at Qianqing Gate, the four cabinet ministers had already arrived, including Fan Qian, the Minister of Rites.
Regarding Zhu Yijun's call today, Shi Xing did not think like the four bachelors in the cabinet thought. He thought that the emperor wanted to discuss the crowning and selection of concubines for the eldest son of the emperor. Besides, even if it was the crowning and selection of concubines for the eldest son of the emperor, he would do this. What happened to the Minister of War?
Regarding Zhu Yijun¡¯s purpose, he vaguely guessed that it might be because the memorial that His Royal Highness the eldest prince asked him to submit had an effect. However, he didn't understand why the eldest prince wanted to submit such a memorial himself when he clearly guessed that there might be a second war in Korea? Does the eldest prince really want to get involved in North Korea's affairs? But even if it is to gain reputation and political achievements, can the eldest prince be sure that he will return to the Ming Dynasty before the second Japanese invasion?
In Shi Xing¡¯s view, the reason why Zhu Changluo wanted to go to North Korea on behalf of the Ming Dynasty was, firstly, to make his identity clear to the world and the vassal countries, and secondly, to establish an image and impress the ministers and the emperor. Shi Xing once dissuaded Zhu Changluo, saying that doing so was too dangerous. In case of a second Japanese invasion,??Aren't you putting yourself in danger?
Of course Zhu Changluo would not say that is exactly what he wanted! He had thought very clearly before that he wanted to go to North Korea and participate in the Second Korean War. There, the sky was high and the emperor was far away. Even if he was not the prince, but his status was there, even the king of North Korea would not be able to compare with him. of! He is the eldest son of the emperor of the Ming Dynasty and the biggest one there. After a war, it is easy to cultivate power!
Of course, it is absolutely impossible to use normal channels, such as finding a way to become a supervisor of the Eastern Expedition after the Japanese invasion of Korea again. There was an ancestral motto in the Ming Dynasty that foreign relatives were not allowed to lead troops. After the vassals were eliminated, another rule was added: princes and kings were not allowed to lead troops!
Zhu Changluo knew that not only the ministers would not agree to take risks, but even Zhu Yijun would definitely not allow him to command troops in North Korea.
However, Zhu Changluo didn't want to waste time with Zhu Yijun like this. Even if he could become the prince in advance, what would be the difference from being the prince now? Isn¡¯t it just an extra status? Not only will the situation not improve, but it will become more dangerous. After all, as long as she becomes the prince, Concubine Zheng will be anxious. Therefore, what is needed most right now is strength!
No matter what era you are in, hard fists are the unchanging truth! As long as you have military power, in layman's terms, you can do whatever you want without caring about the consequences!
The Korean War in front of us is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Although it is full of dangers, it is also a great opportunity to quickly acquire strength. This opportunity is much easier than cultivating strength domestically. Zhu Changluo didn't want to wait any longer, and of course he didn't want to let go of such a good opportunity. Although becoming a military supervisor or something like that wouldn't work, he could make some changes and go to North Korea in advance!
¡°To travel thousands of miles back and forth as an envoy to North Korea, and to stay casually in North Korea for a while, the trip is expected to take at least three to five months. By then, Japan¡¯s second invasion would have already begun.
Of course, Zhu Changluo would not agree to Shi Xing's dissuasion. He just told Shi Xing that as long as the mission was successfully completed, the emperor would have no reason to hinder the appointment of the crown prince. As for the danger of the Japanese invasion, that was all guesswork after all. Even if the Japanese really invaded again, he only had to stay in Wangjing, North Korea, and return to the Ming Dynasty immediately after hearing the news.
Seeing Zhu Changluo¡¯s persistence and what Zhu Changluo said made sense, Shi Xing had no objection. What's more, now is a good opportunity. All the ministers have come to Shu to force the emperor. Then the emperor has seen his request to be sent to North Korea as an imperial envoy. In order to resolve the conflict, the emperor will definitely have ideas.
Zhao Zhigao was discussing in a low voice with the other three cabinet bachelors and Fan Qian, the minister of etiquette who had arrived in advance, whether the emperor had finally made up his mind to crown the eldest prince and select a concubine. Unexpectedly, when he raised his head, he saw Shi Xing, Minister of the Ministry of War, coming over. His eyelids jumped suddenly and he swallowed. Could it be that Shi Xing was chasing him here?
