In early autumn, the weather became cooler after nightfall, and Zhu Youjian was lying on the bed but couldn't sleep.

The four prime ministers Zhu Youxiao left for himself seemed to be divided into two or three factions.

Huang Liji should be a faction, Shi Fenglai and Zhang Ruitu should be the same, while Li Guopu seems to be a faction.

No matter how many factions are, as long as there are factions, you can restrain each other and you can benefit from it.

If these four cabinet ministers were in harmony, they would really have nothing to do with themselves.

This was the case in the late period of Zhu Youxiao's rule. Wei Zhongxian was strong and used the imperial power to eliminate dissidents. The cabinet ministers had no choice but to turn to the eunuch party. Then, thousands of horses were silenced, and Wei Zhongxian began to do a one-man show.

Now that I have ascended the throne, although I have not tried to use power, judging by the situation in the past few days, the cabinet ministers have gradually begun to move closer to me.

This is a good phenomenon.

Moreover, Zhu Youjian reviewed the historical knowledge he had learned and discovered an advantage of the Ming Dynasty system.

The Ming Dynasty did not form an absolute eunuch dictatorship.

Although several eunuchs such as Wang Zhen, Liu Jin, Wei Zhongxian were included in the history of the Ming Dynasty, the power expansion of these people was formed under the direct instruction of the emperor.

When the emperor used a little snack, the eunuchs would have to take a break. Even as powerful as Zhu Houzhao, the Emperor Wuzong of Ming Dynasty, killed Liu Jin with a stick with two fingers wide.

Wei Zhongxian in history was also demoted to Fengyang Shuling by Zhu Youjian, and then another edict died on the road nine thousand years later, and then the street lights were hung.

From this point of view, the power of the powerful eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty came from the emperor. If the emperor wanted to regain power, then the eunuchs would have no choice.

Unless they jointly kill the emperor and support a young emperor who knows nothing to ascend the throne, it will be useless to do anything.

Of course, Wei Zhongxian wanted to do this, but he was helpless that Zhu Youjian had a ship and could not kill him with ordinary means.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youjian felt a little more at ease.

As long as I can't die, it will take a minute to kill Wei Zhongxian.

But Zhu Youjian had not yet decided whether to kill Wei Zhongxian and then purge the eunuch party.

This is how Chongzhen in history did it. He first killed Wei Zhongxian, then cleaned up the eunuch party, and after finishing his work, he sat on wax.

The eunuch party was gone, but a group of hypocritical scholars and officials were arguing in the court, engaging in party struggles, corruption, and oppressing the farmers hard, and then they destroyed the Ming Dynasty.

With the eunuch party here, at least these landlord-class scholars and officials still have an opponent, who check and balance each other and dare not do too much.

But Wei Zhongxian really can't stay.

This old castrated man first stopped himself from ascending the throne, but later, when he couldn't stop it, he wanted to burn himself to death. Keeping it would be a time bomb-like disaster.

If you only have a thief for a thousand days, there is no way to guard against thieves every day.

He didn't dare to eat or drink, and Zhu Youjian didn't want to live another day when he ran back and forth in the palace on the boat.

The next day, at the routine court meeting, Zhu Youjian tentatively made a furious move.

The concentrated firepower sprayed Wei Zhongxian's ineffective control of the palace, causing the fire to the bedroom where he lived, and almost caused the extremely bad incident in which the new emperor was burned to death the night before he ascended the throne.

Zhu Youjian said sternly for a long time, and then summed up the last sentence, it was because my brother was frightened and unhappy. Comrade Wei Zhongxian should take leadership responsibility for this matter.

After Zhu Youjian finished spraying, the scene was silent, and the court officials were all silent, and the scene seemed a little awkward.

Wei Zhongxian's remaining power is still there.

In fact, the court officials did not express their opinions, and they were not all afraid of Wei Zhongxian, and they also had other considerations.

Although Wei Zhongxian was powerful in the court, he was essentially an eunuch in the palace and belonged to the sequence of the emperor's slaves.

Disposing of domestic slaves is logically a private matter of the Tian family.

Moreover, Zhu Youjian has just come to the stage, and no one can understand his character, likes and dislikes. Who knows whether you really want to mess with Eunuch Wei or just discuss things on a whim?

The court officials did not dare to interfere in this matter rashly for a moment, for fear that they would accidentally become someone else's gun and then the cannon fodder was settled.

At this time, all the people who could stand in the Ganqing Palace were human essences. In terms of intelligence alone, Zhu Youjian was probably not their opponent.

The ancients were rare, but they were not stupid at all.

The tiger is not strong enough to die. Besides, the tiger is still holding a pen and seal in the Silijian, and his gangsters are still standing in the court.

For example, Cui Chengxiu, Minister of War.

"Cui Qing family, what do you think about this?"

Zhu Youjian suddenly asked a question, shocking Choi Chengxiu, who was hiding in the crowd with her neck shrinking and pretending to be transparent.

When he was in court, he was rashly named by the emperor, just like when he was a poor student suddenly asked a question by the teacher during class.

But Cui Chengxiu was not a bad student. After years of ups and downs in officialdom, he quickly prepared his words for him.

Just practice Tai Chi, I, Lao Cui, is a master.

"Your Majesty, this matter should be investigated carefully."

"Hahaha!"

Zhu Youjian laughed dryly, thinking that this Cui Shangshu was a little interesting.

How to investigate, who will investigate, it is definitely not suitable for the officials in the court and the officials. This is a matter within the palace, so the eunuchs in the palace can only be investigated.

But all the eunuchs in the key departments in the palace were from Eunuch Wei, so I would like to check a bird.

Zhu Youjian silently drew a villain for Cui Chengxiu, and then prepared to take the matter over.

Anyway, my brother has already made his statement, so it depends on the reactions of the court officials. I don’t believe that the ministers in the court are a solid piece of stone.

There will always be a few people who are dissatisfied with Eunuch Wei or the eunuch party who jump out with righteousness and take the opportunity to take a bite.

Zhu Youjian felt much happier when he thought of this, and then sat and watched the show.

"Your Majesty, I have something to do!"

Li Guopu came out to submit a request.

Zhu Youjian was a little surprised. Mr. Li was going to fire the first shot?

"After your Majesty enters the palace, His Highness is still living in the Qiandi Mansion. The yin and yang of the Tian family are difficult to harmonize, which is not conducive to the ethics of heaven. I request that Your Highness welcome His Highness into the palace."

He said, this is what happened.

Zhu Youjian almost spit out a mouthful of tea. The important officials of the court, who were righteous, rushed to let him live a married life. No matter how they thought about it, they felt a little inconsistent.

But then when I thought that this request was not simple, the queen had to come, and all the eunuchs and palace maids in his hidden residence had to come, so he could have the power to control the palace, and then Eunuch Wei's people had to stand aside.

Li Guopu is really a talented person. He handed him a pillow if he wanted to sleep. It was really good.

"I and others ask you to welcome His Highness to the palace to harmonize Yin and Yang."

Of course, it was not just Zhu Youjian who could think of the joints here, but the other three prime ministers bowed and asked.

The other court officials also came forward to agree, and even the loyal fans of the eunuch party such as Lao Cui had no choice but to agree.

The emperor wants to live a married life, which is a normal and reasonable demand. Whoever opposes it is not a human being.

OK, the situation has changed a little.

With your own confidant, you can make trouble.

Zhu Youjian sat on the dragon chariot, happily agreed with the matter, and then replied with two words "approval".

At the same time, I had some expectations for this upcoming queen.

He ascended the throne and sent the queen to the point where he almost got burned to death. This start is very good now.

Then, the court officials began to report.
Chapter completed!
