Daming: I can’t kill such a greedy prince-in-law?

Zhu Yuanzhang looked up at Ji Gang and asked calmly:

"Is there anything you want to report?"

Although Zhu Yuanzhang rarely manages court affairs now, the Jinyiwei are his eyes, and many things will be transmitted to his ears through the Jinyiwei.

"Yes."

Ji Gang nodded.

"Tell me about it."

Zhu Yuanzhang said calmly.

"Your Majesty, just two days ago, His Majesty convened Prince Consort Ouyang, Li Shanchang, Song Lian, and Lu Chang for a meeting in front of the emperor. Originally, they wanted to discuss the appointment of more than 20 official positions that were vacated when His Majesty reorganized the court administration some time ago!"

Ji Gang said.

"Well, we know about this. We even went to the morning court when the emperor was rectifying the administration of officials. Did something unexpected happen?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked, "If those officials dare to go against the emperor at this time, you police guards should not be idle, take action when necessary!"

"If a minister fights with the emperor, he is simply seeking death."

When Zhu Yuanzhang said this, his words were filled with murderous intent.

When Ji Gang heard this, his whole body trembled.

Although the emperor has abdicated for more than a year, the murderous intent in his body has not diminished at all!
"Your Majesty, with you in control, those officials naturally didn't dare to confront His Majesty, but there were arguments. In the end, Prince Consort Ouyang proposed a talent gradient training plan!"

Ji Gang said quickly.

"Talent gradient training plan, what kind of weird idea is this from Ouyang Lun?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked curiously.

"According to Prince Consort Ouyang's explanation, the appointment of court officials will now require internship and trial procedures. Officials must go to areas they are not familiar with for internships before being promoted. Only after passing the internship can they be promoted. After the promotion, there will be another trial period. Only after passing the trial can they be officially appointed!"

Ji Gang told everything he knew.

"Oh!" Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes lit up, and he nodded after thinking for a moment, "Ouyang Lun is really a clever guy. He actually came up with this idea. Li Shanchang must be very angry."

"Your Majesty is absolutely right. The list provided by Li Shanchang is all officials from the Huaixi Party. Now, because of Prince Consort Ouyang's method, the appointments of these officials have all been frozen." Ji Gang echoed, "This is the list provided by Li Shanchang. Please have a look, Your Majesty."

"Humph! Li Shanchang is really greedy! All the twenty-odd officials on this list are officials of the Huaixi Party. Although some of them are not on the surface, they are actually hidden agents arranged by Li Shanchang. He is trying to fool the emperor!"

"And given Li Shanchang's personality, he probably had dealt with Lü Chang and Song Lian before the imperial meeting, otherwise his list would not have been approved." Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to be able to reconstruct the situation at that time, "The emperor is inexperienced, so it is possible that he could succeed."

"Ouyang Lun has made another contribution."

"I heard that the situation was indeed very dangerous at the time. His Majesty was about to agree to Li Shanchang's list. After all, this list was much better than the officials who were purged before. In addition, Lords Song Lian and Lu Chang did not object. It was difficult for His Majesty to refuse." Ji Gang continued: "Prince Consort Ouyang stood up at the critical moment and proposed this solution."

"However, Li Shanchang raised the issue of internships. Prince Consort Ouyang is going to send nearly 50 officials to central enterprises for internships. This is not a good thing for Prince Consort Ouyang's party."

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang laughed, "You think Ouyang Lun is at a disadvantage, but I think this guy is setting a trap for Li Shanchang!"

"Does the Emperor know about Prince Consort Ouyang's plan?" Ji Gang asked hurriedly.

"We are not sure about this yet, but we know that Ouyang Lun is not someone who will suffer losses. Li Shanchang can deal with other officials, but it will be difficult to deal with Ouyang Lun." Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head.

"Let's just wait and see. Ouyang Lun will definitely win in the end!"

"Okay, just keep an eye on this matter, don't intervene rashly."

"Yes!" Ji Gang nodded.

He was originally quite worried about Ouyang Lun, but after hearing what Zhu Yuanzhang said, he realized that indeed no one had ever made Ouyang Lun suffer a loss, but it was Ouyang Lun who suffered a loss instead.

"Ji Gang, do you have anything else to report?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

"More!" Ji Gang nodded and continued, "According to the news, the year-end bonuses have also been decided. In a few days, the health product samples will arrive in the capital. Other matters in the court have also been handled in an orderly manner!"

"Now the people and soldiers in the army have a very high opinion of His Majesty the Emperor, and they all support His Majesty the Emperor."

After listening to Ji Gang's report, Zhu Yuanzhang narrowed his eyes slightly and started thinking quickly.

After a moment, Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and looked relieved.

Zhu Biao did not disappoint him in the end. He rectified the administration of officials, improved the talent training level, etc. Although Ouyang Lun was involved in all of these, there is no doubt that Zhu Biao was qualified as an emperor. In many aspects, he even did better than him, the founding emperor!

This proves that the successor Zhu Yuanzhang trained was successful and correct.

Zhu Biao managed the government very well, which was not too surprising to Zhu Yuanzhang. After all, Zhu Biao had been the crown prince for so many years, and his ability in governing the government was almost perfect.

What really surprised Zhu Yuanzhang was that Zhu Biao won the support of the army soldiers.

This was quite difficult for a newly enthroned emperor, and this was when the Huaixi Party had a great influence in the army. Now Zhu Biao had gained the support and support of the army.

Then Zhu Yuanzhang no longer had to worry about Zhu Biao's unstable position as emperor. Even if he, Zhu Yuanzhang, was gone, there would be no problem with Zhu Biao's throne. The entire Ming Dynasty would be in Zhu Biao's hands without any problems.

Only Ouyang Lun could come up with the idea of ​​using gift boxes to win over the soldiers, but this also depends on the support of his son Zhu Biao. From now on, his son Zhu Biao and Ouyang Lun seem to cooperate well.

"Ji Gang, keep an eye on all the civil and military officials. Don't think that just because I'm the emperor, you Jinyiwei will relax!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Ji Gang hurriedly said, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty. I will not slack off, and I will never stop monitoring the civil and military officials. Thanks to the Emperor's rectification of the administration, many officials are now very disciplined, and most of their minds are focused on fulfilling their duties and making political achievements. This way, they will not be deposed!"

"It's good that these civil and military officials are now afraid. We were too kind to them in the beginning!" Zhu Yuanzhang muttered.

Hearing this, Ji Gang's mouth twitched violently.

You are so merciful!

All the civil and military officials have been forced into this state by you. They would rather do nothing than make mistakes. It was only after Zhu Biao ascended the throne that all the civil and military officials became bolder.

Of course, Ji Gang would never say what was in his heart, and hurriedly said: "The civil and military officials still miss you, Your Majesty." "They will miss me?" Zhu Yuanzhang rolled his eyes, "They are afraid of me."

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Just take care of the Jinyiwei for us and be our eyes!"

"It's the Supreme Emperor!"

Ji Gang solemnly agreed, "The Jinyiwei now has sufficient funds, and all civil and military officials, all parts of the Ming Dynasty, and even abroad are keeping an eye on us. Duke Lan Yu of Liang has been drinking heavily in his mansion recently. Whenever he gets drunk, he starts to talk nonsense. He curses Prince Consort Ouyang the most harshly, and also complains that you, the Supreme Emperor, are partial."

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang's face darkened. "Remember all of this. We'll find Lan Yu and settle all of this one by one when we have the chance!"

"Yes." Ji Gang bowed in response.

"Okay, go down and do your work." Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand.

"I'll take my leave!" Ji Gang saluted Zhu Yuanzhang and then slowly stepped back.

Just as Ji Gang was about to leave the study, Zhu Yuanzhang's voice came from behind him, "You can go to Tianshang Renjian to relax, but don't go there too often. You are the commander of the Jinyiwei, you must set a good example."

"Forehead"

When Ji Gang heard this, sweat broke out on his forehead.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

puff.

Ji Gang turned around and knelt directly in front of Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Your Majesty, I know I was wrong. I was just bored after get off work and wanted to relax. I will never go there again. I definitely did not do anything out of line!"

Ji Gang hurriedly explained.

"I didn't say anything. I just asked you to be careful. Don't scare yourself. Go down!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said calmly.

"Yes Yes."

Ji Gang quickly got up and left.

Only after walking out of Taile Palace in one breath did Ji Gang breathe a sigh of relief.

Zhu Yuanzhang's sense of oppression is still extremely strong. It has not weakened at all because of his abdication from the throne. In fact, the pressure on him has become stronger. In the past, it was simply the majesty of the emperor, but now, in addition to the majesty of the emperor, there is a sense of mystery!
Moreover, as the only spy of the retired emperor, how does the retired emperor know his own situation?
Could it be that the emperor has other intelligence agencies besides the Imperial Guard?

In other words, there are spies of the retired emperor within the Jinyiwei, and even he himself is under the surveillance of the retired emperor!

Thinking of this, Ji Gang felt a chill on his back.

He found that he was really a little too proud. Ever since Zhu Yuanzhang passed the throne to Zhu Biao, the status of the Jinyiwei had become even higher. On the one hand, they could rely on the majesty of the retired emperor, and on the other hand, they could have Emperor Zhu Biao to rely on!

Both the retired emperor Zhu Yuanzhang and the emperor Zhu Biao needed the Jinyiwei to monitor all officials. This made the status of the Jinyiwei rise rapidly, and all officials were extremely afraid of the Jinyiwei.

It was for this reason that Ji Gang felt that his position was stable and his mentality changed slightly.

Ji Gang began to enjoy these changes. Going to heaven and earth to enjoy himself was just one of them. Zhu Yuanzhang had just mentioned this when he was leaving, which was undoubtedly a warning to him!
"Since the Emperor knows about my trip to Heaven and Earth, naturally, everything else is also under his control!"

"Fortunately, the emperor was not really angry this time and gave me this opportunity. If I don't put myself in the right position, I'm afraid disaster will come."

Understanding this, Ji Gang quickly left Taile Palace. When he reached the gate of the clan house, Ji Gang hesitated for a moment. He was considering whether to go and meet Ouyang Lun, but when he turned around and saw Taile Palace not far away, Ji Gang decisively chose to leave.

He had already been warned by Zhu Yuanzhang, and if he went to Prince Consort Ouyang again, Zhu Yuanzhang would probably no longer tolerate him.

And after Ji Gang left.

Wang Zhong walked in slowly, "The Emperor."

"Has Ji Gang left?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked in a deep voice.

"He left, and just stopped for a while when passing by the clan house next door, but he didn't go in. I think Ji Gang understood your reminder." Wang Zhong said truthfully.

"Wang Zhong, do you think there are people who really won't change their minds and will stick to one person forever?"

Zhu Yuanzhang did not continue to ask about Ji Gang, but changed the subject.

"There should be such people, right? However, I think that the ideas of most people will change over time." Wang Zhong thought about it seriously before replying.

"But my loyalty to the Emperor has never changed."

"Of course I know this. Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's wait and see." Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand, "You've worked hard during this period. Go down and rest early!"

"Yes." Wang Zhong nodded, saluted and then retreated.

With Wang Zhong's retreat, Zhu Yuanzhang was the only one left in the study, and his expression became increasingly complicated.

He didn't have to worry too much about court affairs. As he grew older, Zhu Yuanzhang felt increasingly overwhelmed. In addition, Empress Ma's health was getting worse day by day, so Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but worry more.

Of course, the biggest thing weighing on Zhu Yuanzhang's mind was the Ming Dynasty.

Ouyang Lun's ability was indeed strong enough to make people admire him from the bottom of their hearts, but it was also because of this that Zhu Yuanzhang had to worry.

Ouyang Lun was still so young, even younger than Emperor Zhu Biao. He could easily outlast Li Shanchang, Zhu Yuanzhang, and even Zhu Biao!

That would be horrible if that were the case.

That would not be a copy of Sima Yi, that would be an existence even more terrifying than "Sima Yi". By that time, Ouyang Lun would be a veteran of three dynasties, the chief of clans, the chief minister of the cabinet, and the son-in-law of the Ming Dynasty, and these would not even count towards Ouyang Lun's title!
With such prestige at that time, as long as Ouyang Lun showed the slightest desire to become emperor, someone would use a dragon to travel through time and space to attach himself to Ouyang Lun!

Kill Ouyang Lun directly? !
To be honest, Zhu Yuanzhang was reluctant, and he was almost unable to do it now. It was not that Zhu Yuanzhang was incapable of killing Ouyang Lun, but the price of killing Ouyang Lun was really unacceptable to him.

The first aspect is emotional. Ouyang Lun is no one else but Zhu Yuanzhang's son-in-law and the husband of his daughter Princess Anqing. Moreover, Zhu Yuanzhang and Ouyang Lun have been together for so many years, from northern Zhili to this capital, and they have communicated too much. Only when Zhu Yuanzhang communicates with Ouyang Lun does he feel like an ordinary person.
