Chapter 40 If 1 Great Snow Dragon Riders are not enough, how about 2!
Just when the Forbidden City was in the midst of blood and gore.
Zhu Houzhao was lying on his side in the Ningshou Palace.
Su Huirong, the first female assassin of the Western Factory, half-knelt on the ground and reported the situation in the Forbidden City:
"The West Factory has already detained Li Li, the assistant minister of the Ministry of War, and Qian Ning, the commander of the Imperial Guard, in the East Factory prison."
"There is also Zhang Hua from the Dali Temple... from the Honglu Temple... from the six ministries..."
Su Huirong read out the names one by one.
Some of these people are important officials in the court, holding high positions and great power.
Some were only officials of the fifth rank.
Although these fifth-rank officials were of extremely low rank, the yamen they belonged to were extremely important.
For example, Zhang Hua, the Chief Justice of Dali Temple.
He is responsible for reviewing criminal cases.
No matter whether it was the cases in the Shenhou Mansion, the Six Gates, the East Factory, or even the Hulong Villa, they all had to go through his hands.
There is a lot of information at hand.
The power is also extremely important!
Such a person is in a critical position.
No wonder Prince Ning’s rebellion could be covered up for so long.
...
"Commander Qian Ning?"
Zhu Houzhao did not care about those fifth-rank officials.
All his attention was focused on Qian Ning, the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.
This person was a notorious traitor in the history of the Ming Dynasty.
It's just that in history he was appointed as the commander of the Jinyiwei because he flattered Zhu Houzhao.
I didn't expect that in this comprehensive martial arts Ming Dynasty.
However, he had already become the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard in advance.
And he was caught during this West Factory operation!
"The commander of the Imperial Guard is also a spy planted by Prince Ning."
"It can be seen from this that Prince Ning's plan is far-reaching!"
At this time, Zhu Houzhao began to take the Ning Wang rebellion seriously.
Since he has begun to reorganize the Forbidden City.
He even ordered the Western Factory to arrest corrupt officials who were related to Prince Ning.
Then how to deal with King Ning must be put on the agenda.
Otherwise, Prince Ning would really create a huge wave in Jiangxi just like in the history of the Ming Dynasty.
They even almost captured the city of Nanjing.
Then Zhu Houzhao would become a joke.
...
Even though Zhu Houzhao intended to take advantage of the confrontation between Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuxue on top of the Forbidden City.
Lure out the evil spirits hiding in the Forbidden City.
But there was no plan to let King Ning live too long.
"I think 10,000 Great Snow Dragon Riders plus Xu Yan's soldiers should be enough to defeat King Ning?"
"If that's not enough, how about 20,000 Snow Dragon Riders?"
Zhu Houzhao chuckled, then he lay back on his side and instantly fell into softness.
That was the Moon Goddess in a dark blue dress.
Zhu Houzhao looked at Su Huirong calmly and said, "Are there any traces of the people from Luowang, Liusha, Mengyuan, and Buddhism?"
Su Huirong shook her head and said, "These people hid very deeply, and the Western Factory did not detect their traces."
Luo Wang Yanri and Xuan Jian are killers, and are best at disguise and hiding.
Although the number of Western Factory thugs was extremely large, they were also led by Hong Sixiang.
But if we really talk about it, we can find the traces of these people.
That would be to underestimate Luowang's methods.
The same is true for Quicksand, Buddhism, and the Mongols.
Zhu Houzhao has been quite active in recent days.
They are not stupid.
I know how to hide myself.
Zhu Houzhao nodded slightly, this was also within his expectations.
He hadn't thought about completely getting rid of Luo Wang and Meng Yuan this time.
The purpose of the Western Factory was simply to establish its authority and tidy up the Forbidden City.
Now the goal has been achieved.
...
at this time.
There was a loud noise outside the palace.
Zhu Houzhao listened carefully and knew what was going on: "This Yang Heting is really a model of integrity!!"
The greatest scourge of the Ming Dynasty was undoubtedly those treacherous officials and villains.
But people like Yang Heting were also a major drawback of the Ming Dynasty!
These upright ministers were not corrupt and did not commit crimes.
But they are all seeking fame and power to the extreme!
In order to leave their names in history, they would do anything to achieve their goals.
Advising the emperor was also their usual method.
However, during the reign of Zhu Houzhao, the clean stream of the Ming Dynasty was not yet the mainstream, so there was still hope for salvation.
If it were the late Ming Dynasty, the upright members of the Donglin Party would have been completely hopeless!
And the simplest way to deal with this kind of clear stream.
Just leave them alone first.
Zhu Houzhao was too lazy to pay attention to Yang Heting for the time being.
He said to Su Huirong calmly: "Go and get all the information from the East Factory, as well as the detailed resume of Wang Yangming in Nanjing. Also...let Xu Yanbing come to see me."
"Yes." Su Huirong slowly retreated.
Zhu Houzhao’s most important task at the moment is to thoroughly reorganize the Forbidden City.
Since Jinyiwei commander Qian Ning has shown up in advance this time.
Then I'm afraid that all the treacherous ministers in the history of the Ming Dynasty will also come onto the stage one by one.
Zhu Houzhao wanted to see if there were any fish that had slipped through the net.
As for Wang Yangming's resume.
Naturally, he planned to let Wang Yangming resolve the Ning Wang rebellion.
Although Xu Yanbing has enough strength, the rebellion of Prince Ning involves a wide range of people. It is difficult for him to deal with the bureaucrats in Jiangxi with his own means. These people need a true patriot like Wang Yangming to deal with them!
.....
When Su Huirong just left the palace.
Then he heard the voice of the Prime Minister Yang Heting questioning: "I am the Prime Minister of the Cabinet, and Li Dongyang is the Minister of the Cabinet."
"Which of these people beside me is not an important official in the court? How dare you stop me?!"
Su Huirong recognized the identities of all these people with just a quick glance.
The chief minister of the cabinet, Yang Heting!
The second assistant of the cabinet, Li Dongyang!
Minister of Justice Hu Shining!
Dali Temple Minister Tang Mu!
Among these people in front of me, almost none of them are below the second rank.
Each of them is a typical important minister of the country!
There is no need to say much about the Prime Minister Yang Heting.
Take Li Dongyang for example, he is a cabinet minister, a great scholar, and a famous figure in the country!
He was also the Prince's Guardian appointed by the late emperor.
Zhu Houzhao’s teacher!
It’s a pity that these big guys encountered the Great Snow Dragon Riders!
The Great Snow Dragon Riders don't care whether they are great scholars or famous people in the country.
They just looked at Yang Heting and others coldly without any intention of giving in.
This also made Yang Heting even more angry.
Li Dongyang shook his head slightly: "Why bother to get angry with them, Lord?"
"Since Your Majesty does not want to see us, we will just wait here."
Li Dongyang is not a true clean person.
He also did not have the same desire for power as Yang Heting.
Even in Li Dongyang's opinion, His Majesty has created such power in just five days since he ascended the throne. Even if he does things without going through the Cabinet or the Dali Temple, what does it matter? Looking at the current situation in the Forbidden City, can't he see who is the master?
Xu Yan soldiers, three thousand Great Snow Dragon Riders, and thousands of Western Factory guards.
The strength that His Majesty has displayed openly alone is enough to suppress everything.
That is the case.
Why should these important officials bother Your Majesty?
Just follow the steps and do your part.
Especially this time, although the Western Factory acted recklessly, the officials in the court were all involved in the rebellion of Prince Ning. How dare Yang Heting get involved in such a matter? He even dragged these important officials of the country over!
What is this intended to do?
Forced into the palace? !
Or are you taking advantage of your Majesty’s youth and trying to seize power?
"Okay!" Yang Heting was not really stupid. The reason why he was so impulsive was because he felt that the power of the cabinet was being eroded by His Majesty, and he also wanted to establish his own rights and responsibilities in front of His Majesty.
He is the chief minister of the cabinet.
Your Majesty ignored it, and you shouldn't have acted beyond him!
This is what Yang Heting wants to achieve.
Besides.
He really didn't dare to turn against Zhu Houzhao now.
Not to mention forcing the emperor to abdicate.
Not all the upright people are as reckless as Hai Rui...
