Unparalleled Concubine

Before leaving, the emperor specially called Ye Lin into the palace, and asked him to go to Yongzhou to meet Li Xin before going to Hanzhong, and persuaded Li Xin to "calm down".

That's why Ye Lin rushed to Yongzhou to meet Li Xin.

Ye Lin told Li Xin that the Son of Heaven would be in charge in advance, but Li Xin didn't take it seriously, and only said that he wanted the Son of Heaven to wait for a year with peace of mind, but in fact the Son of Heaven could not wait so long.

The 14-year-old emperor knew very well that once Hanzhong and the Southwest really fought, let alone the outcome of the two sides, the imperial court and the Southwestern were completely on opposite sides from then on, and there was a reason for the thunder, the imperial court was thinking It is almost impossible to flatten the southwest in a short period of time like Taikang did in the third year.

At that time, the mud in the southwest will be deep, and the Yuwen Department in the north will grow rapidly. Under the containment of the north and the south, the situation of the Jin Dynasty will take a sharp turn for the worse, and there will be huge problems in two generations or even one generation.

That's why he wanted Ye Lin to invite Li Xin to return to the capital. With Li Xin in the capital, the emperor's government would be sure, because with such a military boss standing behind him, and with the support of Ye's family, no one in the capital would be tempted .

But Li Xin refused to return to Beijing.

After Ye Lin left Yongzhou, he sent a letter to the capital in six hundred miles, and sent Li Xin's reply to the emperor's desk in Weiyang Palace.

Holding the letter in his hand, the young emperor was in a daze for a long time.

After a long time, he muttered to himself.

"Wait another year, it will be out of control..."

He took a deep breath, stood up from the table, and said to the palace man beside him: "Go and call Xiao Zheng over."

Xiao Zheng, as the chief eunuch, does not work in Weiyang Palace all day long. He needs the inner servant to handle things, but the inner servant is not far from the two palaces of Changle and Weiyang, and he is almost there whenever he is called.

Soon, Xiao Zheng knelt down in front of the emperor.

"Why is Your Majesty calling your servants?"

Emperor Yuan Zhao took a look at Xiao Zheng, and then let out a sigh of relief: "Eunuch Xiao, you must have been in charge of the internal guard for more than ten years, right?"

Xiao Zheng shook his head, and said respectfully: "Return to Your Majesty, the servant was officially in charge of the internal guard in the third year of Taikang, and it has been more than seven years now."

In the third year of Taikang, the former eunuch Chen Ju resigned, and Xiao Zhengcai formally took over as the eunuch.

The emperor frowned and asked, "Is the inner guard in my hands?"

Xiao Zheng immediately lowered his head and cast himself on the ground.

"Of course in His Majesty's hands, the three imperial guards in the capital are all the wings of the emperor!"

The inner guards are under the control of the inner guards, but the inner guards are controlled by the inner guards, and the eunuch of the inner guards is also one of Xiao Zheng's godsons.

The emperor asked Xiao Zheng this sentence to confirm that the inner guard was in his hands.

Emperor Yuanzhao was silent for a while, and then said: "Xiao Zheng, listen carefully."

"From now on, the Tianmu Supervisor will search for the crimes of Shen Kuan, Yan Shouzhuo, and the ministers of Shangshutai with all their strength. In ten days at most, I will see them in Weiyang Palace."

If you are an official in the imperial court, no matter who you are, few have clean buttocks. After all, if everyone is greedy, even if you are not, it is a sin.

People like Shen Kuan and Yan Shouzhuo can climb to such a high height, but their buttocks will be more or less dirty. The Tianmu Supervisor is responsible for monitoring the world, and most of the officials in the capital have criminal records in the Tianmu Supervisor.

Emperor Yuanzhao said in a cold voice: "If you can't find out the crime, just find out what scandals they have and tell them. After you find out, send them all to me."

"Also, go to the capital to find an official to fill the vacancy and send it to Yushitai. I will use him in a few days."

Xiao Zheng has been up and down in the court for so many years. After hearing these words, he naturally understood what the emperor was going to do. He sighed, lowered his head and said: "Your Majesty, the government is in the hands of those people, and it may be risky if you act rashly. It's only been over a year, Your Majesty, don't worry..."

Emperor Yuanzhao was silent for a while, then glanced at Xiao Zheng.

"I've already thought it through, if I ask you to do something, you do it yourself."

Xiao Zheng sighed helplessly, turned around and went down to make arrangements.

If the emperor wanted to dismiss the prime minister, he would naturally search for the crimes of these prime ministers, otherwise he would have no way to dismiss him. Even the emperor Taikang couldn't dismiss his prime minister for no reason, let alone an emperor who had not yet been in charge.

However, dismissal is risky. Although he ascended the throne, his mother's family roots are too shallow, and Li Xin is not in the capital.

Xiao Zheng sighed and muttered to himself.

"The three Imperial Guards are all in His Majesty's hands. The Imperial Army and the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion should also be on His Majesty's side. As long as these are captured, there shouldn't be any problems..."

Having said that, he glanced in the direction of Shangshutai with some concern.

Those who can stand out among the many scholars and climb to that position may not be able to see clearly when it comes to marching and fighting or the general trend of the world, but when it comes to fighting for power and intrigue, those people in Shangshutai are all at the level of ancestors of!

Can a 14-year-old emperor really beat them?

But even though he thought so in his heart, he had to do what the emperor had told him to do, so he had people call the Tianmu prison and the two godsons of the inner guard to the inner guard.

A core power struggle is happening quietly.

On one side is the 14-year-old emperor, and on the other side are several old men who together are over two hundred years old.

In this way, after four or five days, the atmosphere in Shangshutai was finally a little abnormal, but still no one dared to speak.

As the sun went down, the ministers in Shangshutai also put down their writing brushes, stretched their waists, and prepared to go home after work.

Left Prime Minister Shen Kuan got up last, and when he walked to the door of Shangshutai, he looked around and asked with a smile, "Who is on duty at Shangshutai today?"

The waiter under the door stood up and said: "This old man is on duty."

Shen Kuan blinked his eyes, and said with a smile: "Brother Fang is here, and tomorrow I will be much more relaxed. A certain brother was on duty here a few days ago. I heard that he slept all night, and the next morning a bunch of Things piled up, making me and the four of us extremely busy."

The new Zhongshu Ling looked embarrassed.

"It's been a long time in the past, Prime Minister Shen just let me go."

Everyone laughed and walked out of Shangshutai together.

When he arrived at the entrance of Shangshutai, Shen Kuan rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "I heard that Yan Sikong celebrates his birthday today, and he is an official in the same dynasty. How about I go to Yan Sikong's house to wish him a birthday together?"

The three prime ministers looked at each other and bowed slightly to Shen Kuan.

"Of course to go."

Chapter 899

Naturally, Yan Sikong's birthday was not today.

As the imperial doctor of Yushitai and one of the three assistant ministers, if he celebrates his birthday, it will be a sensational event in the government and the public, and all civil and military officials will go to Yan's mansion to celebrate his birthday.

Shen Kuan just said casually, the purpose was to hint to these prime ministers, let them go to the Yan Mansion together, these people are all good people, they can see through a little bit, naturally they all agree.

Several prime ministers walked out of Yong'an Gate together, boarded a sedan chair at the gate of Yong'an Gate, and walked towards Liushufang near Yonglefang.

Doctor Yushi is strict and humble, and his background is not too rich, he can only be regarded as a family background, so even if he achieved the position of Sikong, he still cannot live in Yonglefang, but can only settle in Liushufang.
