It is also possible that someone who can lead troops on expeditions will be appointed as the governor of the three sides, and Qin Hong's power will be removed. Then it may not be as easy to control as it is now.

"Yeah." Li Dongyang understood what Liu Jian meant and nodded in approval.

Xie Qian asked: "What did Zhang Bingkuan do in this matter?"

Liu Jian shook his head. Apparently he didn't understand what role Zhang Zhou played in this matter. He just recalled it as much as possible and said: "The prince's military policy either came from his guidance, or it was created by him."

Chariots are also his idea... As for how to persuade Qin Shiying, I'm afraid I can only ask Qin Shiying himself."

Dilemma.

Qin Hong was about to lead his troops on an expedition, and the cabinet ministers could not go to see him to avoid suspicion. If they did not meet, they could not ask. If they did not ask, they would not know Qin Hong's true inner thoughts.

If you don’t know, you can only guess.

This is what makes them anxious.

It was clear that everything was under control before, but Qin Hong "rebelled" as soon as he turned his face. He couldn't even figure out the reason for the rebellion. This was what made the three cabinet ministers most powerless.

Li Dongyang said: "The prince has not yet completed his studies, but he is too obsessed with military affairs. This is not the style of a benevolent king. You might as well use this to report to the minister to remind your majesty to regulate the prince's daily schoolwork... Zhang Bingkuan, in particular, should not be too involved.

Let’s talk in the East Palace. What do Mr. Liu think?”

"Um."

After Li Dongyang's reminder, the three cabinet members seemed to have finally found a "breakthrough."

Since there is no way to change the emperor's use of Qin Hong, and there is no way to change Qin Hong's attitude, let's start with the impeachment of "Zhang Bingkuan, the bad prince". Even if the emperor cannot lose his trust in Zhang Zhou, at least let him first

Zhang Zhou drank a pot of Qingyi's reputation, which will reduce your reputation among civil servants.

We cannot guarantee our right to speak in the court, but we must at least guarantee our right to speak among civil servants.

"Yu Qiao, please go talk to someone about this," Liu Jiandao said, "Don't let others know."

Xie Qian smiled and nodded: "It's easy to say that Zhang Bingkuan has broken so many rules that it's hard to describe. There are officials in the court who have long hated him. If they hadn't deliberately suppressed him before... Haha. Don't worry, in the future,

He won't have an easy time."

…

…

Zhang Zhou had actually long expected that after Wang Yue's death, the civil servants would definitely attack him, the de facto emperor's first aide, in order to regain control of the military and political affairs in the northwest.

If you can't directly affect the emperor's trust in him, then you can indirectly start with his reputation.

Three people become tigers.

If everyone in the court said that Zhang Zhou was a near-sycophant, everyone in the country would not regard him as a near-sycophant.

After all, the public opinion of the Ming Dynasty has always been in the hands of those with pens. Even the emperor sometimes succumbed to public opinion. This is why the civil servants of the Hongzhi Dynasty could gradually become the absolute ruling force of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhang Zhou accompanied Qin Hong out of the palace and immediately took him to Wang Gong's factory. He visited the new artillery on site and showed Qin Hong the finished product of the new artillery cart.

Qin Hong was not very interested in artillery, but after seeing the new tank, his eyes were shining.

Wang Shouren came out with Tang Yin, and the two of them saluted Qin Hong: "I have met Qin Zhongcheng."

"oh?"

Qin Hong raised his head and saw two people in their thirties, whom he didn't recognize yet.

Zhang Zhou made a recommendation to him.

"Both undergraduates, Wang Shouren and Tang Yin, have been assisting in artillery exercises in the Yanwu Hall. They also contributed a lot to building the chariot." Zhang Zhou returned his credit to Wang Shou.

Ren and Tang Yin were a little bit different.

Mainly to bring Qin Hong closer to the two of them.

Qin Hong nodded and smiled: "You are young and promising."

Xiao Jing on the side reminded: "Wang Jinshi was ordered to go to Pianguan this time to escort the coffin of Marquis Weining back to his hometown and complete the funeral arrangements. As for Tang Jinshi, he was Mr. Zhang's younger brother. He was very knowledgeable about artillery and chariot building.

If you are good at it, you may be able to help Qin make Taiwan."

"oh."

Qin Hong nodded.

Obviously he had no objection to what Wang Shouren did.

It was reasonable and reasonable for the imperial court to send someone to attend Wang Yue's funeral. The important point was that Wang Shouren's background was much higher than that of Tang Yin. Qin Hong had no objection to a child from such a noble family.

But on Tang Yin's side...

You are of humble origin, the son of a merchant, or Zhang Zhou's junior brother?

So you still want to serve as my staff, help me build tanks or even make suggestions?

Who gave you the courage?

…

…

Then Zhang Zhou took Qin Hong alone to visit various places in Wang Gong Factory.

When everything is ready, Xiao Jing will then take Qin Hong to the Governor's Mansion. Qin Hong will be escorted by a thousand cavalry from the capital to Pianguan. This group of troops can also be regarded as the "private armed forces" given to Qin Hong by the emperor. When they arrive at Pianguan,

They also serve as bodyguards.

"Brother, I..."

After sending Qin Hong out of Wang Gong Factory, Wang Shouren was ready to leave.

Tang Yin, on the other hand, looked like "I can't do it, don't let me do it" and wanted to find Zhang Zhou to shirk responsibility.

Zhang Zhou narrowed his eyes and said: "What's wrong, second junior brother, you haven't gone to the northwest yet, are you getting scared?"

Tang Yin said: "Now that I have just become a Jinshi, my family has not yet settled down, and my official position has not yet been settled. At this time, I am going to the northwest...I feel uneasy inside, so why not..."

"hehe."

Zhang Zhou smiled.

Historically, Tang Yin and his second wife reconciled and divorced after the imperial examination failed in the twelfth year of Hongzhi's reign.

And because of his appearance, Tang Yin directly won the Jinshi this time, and the incident with Li did not happen.

But some conflicts did not arise just because of one day. After Tang Yin took his wife to the capital, many conflicts still occurred due to daily trivial matters, which seriously affected Tang Yin's career as an official.

"Bohu, it is not my intention that you go to the northwest, but His Majesty's intention." Zhang Zhou said with a smile, "You represent our sect, and your presence is also a restriction on Qin Shilang. You

Don’t look at him being picky about you now, but after arriving in the northwest, he will change his view of you. Because you...are indeed a capable person."

"Well……"

Tang Yin felt that Zhang Zhou was fooling him.

Am I a capable person?

I didn’t realize it myself, how did you figure it out?

"You don't have to worry too much about your family affairs. I'll arrange the living expenses and other things for you. I can't treat you badly when you serve the master. You see, I'll find a bigger yard for your wife to live in. What do you think?

How about next?"

"No...it's not necessary."

Tang Yin was shocked.

The relationship between him and his wife was not very good, but he knew that Zhang Zhou encouraged Zhu Feng to reconcile with his wife. Men never want to ask outsiders for help when it comes to household matters.

Zhang Zhou put his hand on Tang Yin's shoulder and gave him a pie: "Look, if you go to the northwest, you won't need any credit. Just treat it as earning a resume for yourself. When you come back, you will no longer be the head of the Sixth Department. Maybe you will directly

Promoted to Yuanwailang. If you feel that being an official in Beijing is not suitable, let you go to another place. You don't have to start from the county magistrate, general magistrate or the like. You can participate in the political affairs of the Chief Envoy and the Council for your selection!"

Tang Yin said: "I first entered the court and I have no merit. Is this...possible?"

Zhang Zhou smiled and said: "You are in my sect, what is impossible? You should also know that I will be promoted to a bachelor's degree soon, right?"

"Uh...then...then I'll try it."

Although Tang Yin knew that Zhang Zhou was drawing cakes for him, he felt that this was an opportunity in his life.

After thinking about it, I bit the bullet and agreed.
Chapter completed!
