    After Yang Tinghe slowly read out this imperial edict, the civil and military officials in the palace couldn't help but burst into an uproar.

    Everyone looked at each other with extreme shock on their faces.

    The "Jingwei Commander" was originally established during the Hongwu period. At that time, the Jingwei Commander's functions could be said to have overwhelming power over the capital. It not only included guarding the palace, guarding the city gates, and guarding the capital, but also had jurisdiction over the seventeenth guard of the capital, and served as the commander-in-chief.  The status of the Zhi Twelve Guards, Four Guards Battalion, etc. is higher than today's Twelve Regiment Battalions, Yumajian, and Tengxiang Four Guards. Including the Jinyi Guards, they are also nominally under the jurisdiction of the Jingwei Commander's Department.

    The imperial edict promoted Qin Kan to the position of commander of the Beijing Guards. According to the literal meaning, it was indeed a "promotion", and it was an out-and-out blessing for the new king.

    However, after Yongle, the military system in the country gradually became more complicated. Because Emperor Yongle often led the Northern Expedition when he was in power, Ji Gang, the commander of the Jinyiwei at that time, failed to live up to expectations and rebelled against the old Zhu family. The wise and powerful Emperor Yongle was very cold and very cold.  Heartbroken, he gradually felt that excessive power of a yamen was not a good thing, so he deliberately divided the power of the Jingwei Command and Envoy Division. After more than a hundred years, the Jingwei Command and Envoy Division had gradually lost its real power.

    Although today's Jinyiwei is still under the jurisdiction of the Jingwei Commander's Office in name, in fact the Jinyiwei has always been responsible only to the emperor, and has the power to report everything without going through the Jingwei Yamen. As for the Jingwei Commander's Office, it is under the name  Some of the more than ten guard offices under its jurisdiction have been placed under the control of regiments and camps, and some have been placed under the control of imperial guards. In short, the powerful Jingwei command office during the Hongwu period was split up by Emperor Yongle in two or two, and now it has become  What was yesterday is gone, leaving only an empty shell with no real power.

    When Qin Kan was appointed commander of the Jinyi Guards.  The commander of the Beijing Guard often came to visit Fusi in Beizhen. Regardless of business or private matters, the nominal old boss could only accompany him with a smile and pleading cautiously, while Qin Kan, the nominal subordinate, ignored him.

    Feng shui is turning, but unexpectedly, during the Jiajing Dynasty, the famous Qin Gongye was played a trick by the new emperor at the emperor's coronation ceremony.

    There was silence in the hall, and countless ministers stared closely at Qin Kan's face, either gloating about his misfortune or full of sympathy.  Trying to find a trace of anger on his face.  Looking at Zhu Houcong sitting upright on the dragon chair in the palace, and then looking at Qin Kan standing silently in the court class, a shocking thought came to everyone's mind.

    Things are going to change!

    Qin Kan wore a python robe and a beam crown on his head.  His expression is neither sad nor angry.  As calm as a dead lake.  Not a single ripple could be seen.

    The ministers belonging to the Qin Party in the DPRK all felt their hearts sinking. This signal was too obvious.

    Ministers who can sneak into the Golden Palace are naturally not stupid people.  They are all very shrewd. The people standing in the court every day are not ministers, but cunning old foxes. Today is just the enthronement ceremony, but the new emperor actually promoted the most powerful minister of the Zhengde Dynasty to a secret one in the name of his promotion.  After surrendering, it turned out that there was one emperor and one courtier. The current situation in the capital was not stable with the new emperor's accession to the throne. Instead, it became more confusing and unpredictable.

    After Yang Tinghe announced this imperial edict, there was a sudden silence in the hall. The joyful atmosphere in the hall suddenly turned sharply, and an inexplicable chill filled the hall.

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    Zhu Houcong, who was wearing a golden dragon robe, had a complicated expression. When a new king ascends the throne, it is the proper thing to win over or suppress powerful officials to establish his authority. However, today's edict is a bit impatient, but when he thinks of Qian Ning and Jiang Bin's visit a few days ago,  After a few threatening words from the Palace of Qianqing, Zhu Houcong felt like he was sitting on pins and needles, unable to sleep or eat well. It was inevitable to reduce his power and he couldn't wait any longer.

    This minister, who was extremely favored by Emperor Zhengde, held terrifying power. Not only that, the Qin Party's members were spread all over the world, and at least half of the imperial court in the capital belonged to him. This man's disaster was worse than that of others.  Liu Jin was even worse back then!  Liu Jin was an eunuch, but he, Qin Kan, was not.

    There was silence for a long time, and while the officials in the palace were in shock and confusion, Ning Guogong Qin Kan smiled suddenly, walked out of the court, and bowed to Zhu Houcong who was sitting on the golden platform.

    "My lord, Qin Kan, thank Heaven for his kindness."

    Zhu Houcong also laughed, more innocently than Qin Kan: "Ning Guogong, you are the mainstay of our Ming Dynasty. It is understandable to give orders and favors. In the future, my country and country will rely on the Duke's help, and everything at home and abroad will be done."  , I will ask the Duke for advice in the future"

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ??

    "This sentence made all the ministers look sideways. Everyone knew better, and they all cursed "shameless" in their hearts. This guy kept silent and hugged the new emperor's lap so quickly

    Hearing this, Zhu Houcong suddenly changed his color, opened his eyes and said angrily to Liang Wei: "Ning Guogong has made great contributions to the country, how can he be on the same level as all the nobles? Don't you?"??If you talk too much, get out of here quickly!  "

    Qin Kan stood in the courtroom with his eyelids lowered and his eyebrows lowered, expressionless and speechless, while the other ministers shuddered one after another.

    This double act unknowingly instigated the relationship between Qin Kan and Xungui. What other tricks does the newly ascended emperor have waiting for him?

    ***************************************************  *****************

    The enthronement ceremony was over, and the courtiers left the palace in twos and threes, still digesting the shocking news in their minds.

    They are all old sparrows who have been in the court for many years and have seen all kinds of storms. Zhu Houcong's unusual imperial edict of grace is already in Sima Zhao's heart. Everyone on the road knows it. How could the ministers not realize what happened?

    "However, Qin Kan can be regarded as a veteran of three dynasties. He has been favored by two generations of emperors. Now he is even more powerful and full of party members. The new emperor wants to reduce his power. Will hewill restrain himself?

    No one can guess Qin Kan's thoughts, but everyone still can't help but guess.

    Qin Kan¡¯s left and right thoughts are too important. Going left or right determines the interests of many people and even life and death.

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    Late at night, it was almost midnight, when people were lying down and sleeping soundly, but the Ningguo Duke's mansion was very busy with cars and sedans coming and going.

    A series of unpretentious carriages and an official sedan with no official residence were parked very low-key at the back door of the Qin Mansion. The ministers in casual clothes were hurriedly welcomed into the mansion by their servants as if they were watching a lantern.

    The study room of the Qin Mansion was brightly lit, and dozens of guards in royal robes were cruising around the study room, watching the surroundings with vigilant expressions.

    The study room was full of people, and the dim candlesticks hung high under the beams, reflecting the solemn expressions on everyone's faces.

    The guests were all heavyweights, including cabinet ministers, ministers of the Ministry of War, censors of the right capital of the Imperial Procuratorate, ministers of imperial guards, and even the censor of etiquette, the director of the East Factory all the officials and eunuchs of all sizes were seated.  room.

    "My lord, the situation at today's ceremony is not good. The civil and military officials of the whole court have noticed that this new emperor intends to reduce his power" Yan Song sighed.

    Zhang Yong, the chief seal officer of the Supervisor of Ceremonies, looked anxious, with a few bruises on his face, and said sadly: "After today's ceremony, the new emperor suddenly came to the Supervisor of Ceremonies. The Miscellaneous Family did not dare to neglect, and sent His Majestythe Supreme Emperor after he drowned.  The backlog of memorials and comments were all submitted to the imperial court. Unexpectedly, the new emperor only flipped through two copies, and then he threw a large pile of memorials in the face of the Za family, saying that "doing things in a stale way and being diligent but not diligent can easily damage the country."  ', I selected a few memorials to control the river, build embankments, and rectify the military defense, and strictly ordered the Director of Ceremonies to reconsider the approval"

    Everyone in the study was awestruck, and their hearts became increasingly heavy.

    Compared with his gentle attitude towards Qin Kan when he was rising and falling, Zhu Houcong was much more cruel to the Chief of Ceremonies. After all, he was a slave of the Tian family. The emperor did not have to be too polite to Zhang Yong. Even beating him to death with a stick could only be said to be a sign of heaven's grace.  .

    Zhang Yong said with tears in his eyes, and slowly looked around the crowd and said: "Just after the new emperor's enthronement ceremony, he established his power over the Supervisor of Ceremonies. Today is just a reprimand. In the future, he will take back the red power and remove me from the position of palm seal.  The Zajia family is in danger! My lord, my lords, the Zajia family has never shown shame to you in the past ten years, let alone killed any ministers. For the sake of the Zajia family's honest and honest performance in the past ten years, I want to pull Zai Zaijia.  How about a family?"

    Everyone in the room sighed deeply. Everyone was a member of the Qin Party. Presumably the new emperor had clearly investigated the factions in the DPRK before entering the capital. To be honest, everyone in the room today was like a mud bodhisattva crossing the river. They couldn¡¯t protect themselves. I¡¯m afraid everyone  Er has already been on Zhu Houcong's blacklist, and it is only a matter of time before he is demoted or imprisoned.

    Yan Song was relatively calm. He turned his head to look at Qin Kan and said, "Master, let's make an idea. Is there anything we can do about the current situation?"

    Qin Kan raised his head and looked at the beams of the room. There was a light in his eyes that no one could understand, but he said: "If you want me to die, I have to die. We are all ministers. If your majesty is already suspicious, I will let you go."  No matter how loyal you are to the country, what can you do in vain? You still remember that when Liu Jian and Xie Qian were two old ministers, they were full of ambitions to rejuvenate the country and stabilize the country, but in the end they could only sadly leave Beijing and return home. More than ten years later, we and Liu  Xie Ergong is so similar."

    Zhang Yong¡¯s tearful eyes suddenly filled with a look of hope: ¡°If we can also follow the example of Mr. Liu and Xie, we will go to the old age"

    Yan Song shook his head and said categorically: "It's impossible. Your Majesty's mentality is different from that of your Majesty. Although Your Majesty likes to play, he is not a murderous and cruel king. However, judging from what he did when he came to the capital, I'm afraid it's not easy to get along with him.  It is said that it is better to kill someone with a sharp knife than to let him become an official. One is to establish the authority of the monarch, and the other is to eliminate worries, especially"

    Yan Song paused, looked up at Qin Kan, and continued: "Especially Mr. Qin and I and other important members of the capital, in his eyes, we are probably the backbone of the rebel party. If we can't eradicate the roots, how can we warn the remaining party and intimidate them?"  ?Minister?  "
