"Yeah, don't you still trust the military newspaper?" Zhu Youxian asked Wan'er to wipe his face while answering Xu Yingyuan's question. After all, it was the first time leading soldiers to fight. Although seven days have passed, he still couldn't restrain his excitement.

Suddenly, he felt wrong. If Wan'er asked herself, she was just curious and had no profound meaning. Xu Yingyuan asked such a question, it would be different.

If he was just skeptical, he would not ask such a question as soon as he returned home. Such a question obviously distrusted him. As long as the people in the palace were waiting for him, Zhu Youjian was surprised:" Should Yuan?"

Xu Yingyuan was very satisfied with Zhu Youjian's reaction. When Zhu Youjian started to answer, he was very casual, without any pretense, it means that the results in the military newspaper are true. Zhu Youjian later obviously realized that there was a problem with his own problem, which showed that Zhu Youjian was very alert and had not seen him for a few days. Zhu Youjian has become more mature.

Since the military newspaper is true, there is nothing to worry about.

"Ying Yuan means that someone doubts the authenticity of the military newspaper?" Although Zhu Youjian has experience in later generations, he is only a primary school student and far from Xu Yingyuan's opponent when it comes to court struggles and struggles in the palace.

"The military newspaper is true, so it's okay. It's useless for anyone to doubt. That can only make the emperor feel that others are jealous of His Royal Highness." Xu Yingyuan chuckled, the eunuch in the palace was still waiting, and he could only make a long story short.

"What if the emperor suspects it?" Zhu Youzhen was still a little worried.

"It doesn't matter if the emperor suspects, after all, the emperor is the emperor's brother. Besides, the emperor will not doubt that there must be Jinyiwei in Shandong. They can't wipe out Japanese pirates. It should be fine to report a letter to the emperor." Xu Yingyuan's words completely dispelled Zhu. Concerns by the inspection. Since the emperor does not doubt, if others deliberately provoke in front of the emperor, I believe it will not be fruitful.

Just when Zhu Youjian had washed his face, he followed the eunuch into the palace.

Huangji Hall, the early dynasty has not dispersed, the cultural relics and hundreds of officials are there, Zhu Youxiao sat high on the dragon chair he made by himself, and looked at Zhu Youjian, as if he had only known him today.

"The minister Zhu Youjian sees the emperor, long live my emperor! Long live!" Zhu Youjian prostrated on the ground and bowed his salute. They were brothers, and even the emperor and ministers.

"Fifth brother, don't have to be polite, the front row will reply."

The front row is the position of the veteran with the highest status and highest prestige. Zhu Youjian's grade is too low to stand in the front row. But he is the King of Letters, an uncrowned king other than the emperor, and the center of conversation now, so Zhu Youxiao gave him a front row position.

When Zhu Youjian came to the front row, the officials who had already stood in the line moved back automatically to make room for Zhu Youjian, but Gu Bingqian, the cabinet chief assistant who was standing in the front row, coughed and coughed until the Buddha ascended to heaven. The two Buddhas were in the world, forcing Zhu Youzhen to wait for 15 seconds before he took a step back and let Zhu Youzhen go to the front row.

"Fifth brother has worked hard, haha." Zhu Youxiao rarely smiled, probably because he rarely smiles. His smile is particularly ugly, just like people who often wear myopia glasses, occasionally take off their glasses, and the eyelids are unreal. The deformation. But his voice was very strong, which made Zhu Youzhen very useful.

"Sharing the worries for the emperor brother is the responsibility of the ministers." Zhu Youzhen could not understand the emperor brother's thoughts, and he answered carefully.

"Quickly tell me how this battle was fought." Zhu Youxiao finally couldn't contain his excitement, and Li Chunye's report last time made him very upset.

Zhu Youjian gave a brief report on the whole process. Whether it was pre-war mobilization, planning, or fighting on the battlefield, they all regarded Fenwuying, especially Qin Yongnian, the highest commander of Fenwuying.

"Cough, cough." Wei Zhongxian, who was by Zhu You school's side, was very polite and did not interrupt Zhu Youzhen's speech. He coughed until Zhu Youzhen finished speaking, and Zhu Youzhen hadn't answered the time. Speaking aloud, I don't know if there is any kidney loss.

Of course, Wei Zhongxian won't care even if the kidney is weak, he is an eunuch!

"Your Majesty, the minister has something to say." Xu Zhaokui, the Shangshu of the Criminal Ministry, immediately understood what Wei Zhongxian meant. Although he hadn't figured out how to make things difficult for Zhu Youjian, he had to grab the right to speak first. When the emperor asked questions, there were many fellow associations anyway. Help him continue to improve the method of dealing with Zhu Youjian.

Xu Zhaokui tried many cases by himself before he became the official book of the Criminal Department, and earned the reputation of "Xing San Pao". He tried the case, first, the gavel was very loud, and first frightened the defendant; second, he liked to impose severe punishment on the defendant; third, after the severe sentence, he forced the defendant to confess, and the case was quickly closed.

After taking refuge in Wei Zhongxian, Xu Zhaokui was promoted all the way until he was Shangshu in the Criminal Ministry. But his character who likes to attract attention has not changed. In the struggle with the Donglin Party, he often served as a vanguard and was one of Wei Zhongxian's confidants.

"What does Xu Aiqing have to say?" Zhu Youxiao was lazy. When Li Chunye reported on his martial arts achievements last time, he made a tail, which made him very upset. He didn't want any accidents to happen today to let Zhu Youjian's merits. Turned into a bubble.

"Your Majesty, whether there are two thousand Japanese pirates, it remains to be verified. It is too early to draw a conclusion. In addition... In addition, His Royal Highness Xin Wang, as a prince, cannot serve in the army." Xu Zhaokui can still be a minister of criminal justice, and he still has two brushes. He quickly pinpointed Zhu Youqian's death spot.

"Your Majesty, the minister seconded. According to the Ming ancestor system, the clan cannot hold any position, especially the commander." Hubu Shangshu Guo Yunhou is also a member of the eunuch party.

"The minister agrees!"

"The minister agrees!"

"The minister agrees!"

More than half of the civil and military officials knelt in the hall, and among the members of the eunuch party, only Li Chunye did not second.

The rest of the Donglin Party members usually have no friendship with Zhu Youjian. Moreover, Zhu Youjian made extraordinary achievements in Shandong and also overwhelmed the generals. The generals of Daming were basically from the Donglin Party. Therefore, castration. The party and the masses attacked Zhu Youjian, and the Donglin Party collectively chose to remain silent.

The Ming Dynasty, the Eunuch Party and its political opponent, the Donglin Party, reached an amazing understanding.

Looking at the back of a place, Zhu Youxiao is also a big head. Some distracting thoughts that he didn't or would not think about before, keep flying in his mind, and countless historical fragments are filtered in his mind.

"All Aiqing, get up and talk about it." Zhu Youxiao has completely lost the excitement at the beginning, the ease on his face has been suppressed, and his voice is as weak as a patient who has been bedridden for a long time: "Xin Wang, Shandong Mieya, Are you a top performer?"

Zhu Youjian felt that Zhu Youxiao had become unfamiliar, and even changed his name. The moment he was most worried and unwilling to face finally arrived, still so violent. If you vote in the court, Zhu Youjian would lose even the scum.

"Although the minister was also involved in destroying the Japanese, it was mainly the contribution of fighting for the military. Qin Yongnian was the number one, and the minister did some auxiliary things." On the one hand, Zhu Youjian fought for Qin Yongnian, on the other At this moment when the volcano has erupted, the greater the credit, the higher the risk factor.

He now realized the awkwardness of the generals.

If you lose a battle, you will be incompetent. Of course, you will be impeached by a civil official—removal and prosecution. If you win a battle, your merits will be overwhelming. You will also be impeached by a civilian—demotion and alienated.

Is the military commander like the tea in this cup, all disposable

What should this military commander do to settle down

What does this civil official do to stop

"Yeah." Zhu Youxiao responded vaguely. It was thinking about how to send Zhu Youjian back to Xuqin Palace.

"Your Majesty, the minister has something to say." The members of the Eunuch Party just stood up, and Li Qiyuan, another Shangshu in the household department, knelt down again.

"Li Aiqing has something to say!" Zhu Youxiao was lazy, he was blaming Li Qiyuan for interrupting his thoughts.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Xin Wang has grown up. According to the Ming Zu system, he should go to the fief as soon as possible, so as not to cause trouble in the capital." Li Qiyuan had a conflict with Zhu Youjian on the construction of the First Avenue last time. Huai, now the eunuch party is attacking Zhu Youjian, which is an excellent opportunity to destroy Zhu Youjian.

He has discovered the changes in Zhu Youxiao and knows that Zhu Youxiao is engaged in an ideological struggle.

A piece of ice that has cracked, and then a large overloaded stone is pressed, the ice can not be broken, unless the ice is from Guanghan Palace.

Is it ancestral again? What trouble did Lao Tzu cause in the capital? Zhu Youjian was ready to refute.

The Donglin Party completely ignored Zhu Youjian.

"The minister agrees!"

"The minister agrees!"

"The minister agrees!"

This time, the Donglin Party group attacked.

The Donglin Party members who had not knelt down just now are all kneeling in the hall.

The only one who did not kneel down both times was Li Chunye, Shangshu of the Ministry of War.

The Eunuch Party and the Donglin Party today are not in a tacit agreement, but an astonishing political consensus. The goal is Zhu Youjian.

There was no sound in the hall, all waiting for Emperor Zhu Youxiao.

The opinion of almost all courtiers, even the emperor can only accept.

The ministers are not waiting for Zhu Youxiao's ruling, but for Zhu Youxiao's announcement.

"Ha...Ha...Ha..."

A burst of laughter passed from the dragon chair to the entire hall, and the ministers' hearts passed like an axe.

Wei Zhongxian knew it was broken, and he had been serving Zhu Youxiao for many years, and he had a thorough understanding of every detail of Zhu Youxiao.

Today was an excellent opportunity. If the Donglin Party couldn't bring down Zhu Youjian, then the chance of bringing down Zhu Youjian would be very slim in the future.

"All love Qings, whoever believes in the king, I have my own decision. Today's court meeting only discusses the war in Shandong." Sure enough, Zhu Youxiao returned to the spirit of the beginning.

Zhu Youjian should thank the Donglin Party.

Originally, Zhu Youxiao was shaken by the eunuch party, but the Donglin party wanted to add fuel to the fire, and Zhu Youxiao saw it clearly.

Zhu Youjian did not get the support of courtiers. It can even be said that the courtiers opposed Zhu Youjian.

Zhu Youjian, who had no support from courtiers, was just a war fighter and a businessman who made a little money. Takeo and merchants will not threaten the imperial power.

"..." The ministers did not have the patience of Wei Zhongxian and did not understand Zhu Youxiao's psychological changes.

"Fifth brother, I don't know anything about it. Since Fenwuying can completely wipe out the Japanese pirates, why can't the hundreds of thousands of Shandong soldiers wipe out the Japanese pirates and be beaten down by the Japanese pirates? Is there anything hidden in the middle?"
