As for the real purpose of Jiang Jin coming today, Liao Huanzhi knew that although Jiang Jin did not have the name of the Minister of Military Affairs, he already had the reality of the Minister of Military Affairs. After a few days, he officially withdrew from the Office of Military Affairs, Jiang Jin would be the next Minister of Military Affairs. With his qualifications and status, although he was not ranked first, he was more than enough.

Since Liao Huanzhi left the center, although he was still an important official in the court in name, no matter what position he was in the future, he would definitely be worse than that of today. After all, Liao Huanzhi was a civil servant and was different from military generals. For example, although Wang Dong withdrew from the military service, Zhu Yicheng would still reuse him regardless of his age or identity, just like the one that has been confirmed to let Wang Dong go to Xinming is an example.

Similarly, Dong Dashan is the same. Although he is no longer the Minister of Military Affairs, his position as the left governor of the Army Headquarters (Former Army Governor's Office) is still his. Not only that, as a veteran general in the army, Dong Dashan is likely to lead troops to fight in the next years.

However, after Liao Huanzhi retreated to the second line, although he had the high positions of Grand Tutor and Duke of Song, his actual power had been given up. In the following days, Liao Huanzhi was more of a personal counselor of Zhu Yicheng. This identity was equivalent to an advisor in later generations. The so-called consultant consultant asked only when he needed to consult, and if he didn't need it, he would ignore it. Liao Huanzhi naturally knew the difference in this.

Jiang Jin's intention is very simple, and he wants to take advantage of the opportunity that Liao Huanzhi has not yet completely retreated and accept some of his political "legacy" from Liao Huanzhi.

Liao Huanzhi has been on the chief military aircraft for so many years, and naturally there are many officials who follow him. These officials are political forces that cannot be ignored regardless of their positions.

Jiang Jin wanted to establish a foothold in the Military Affairs Office, so it would be impossible to not have enough strength and support in his hands. Although Jiang Jin, as an old minister of the Ming Dynasty, had many people under his command, it was much worse than Liao Huanzhi. Moreover, Liao Huanzhi retreated to the second line and had to arrange his subordinates' confidants in advance, so he couldn't ignore it. So why Jiang Jin came today and why he came again? Both of them actually knew very well.

Of course, for the sake of old friends and arrangements for his subordinates, Liao Huanzhi will definitely give him some people, but Liao Huanzhi has already considered it. It is absolutely impossible to give all of them to Jiang Jin. First, doing so will not benefit Liao Huanzhi and Jiang Jin at all, and second, it will also make Zhu Yicheng disgusted.

After staying with Zhu Yicheng for so many years, Liao Huanzhi had long understood what kind of person Zhu Yicheng was. This monarch was not only talented but also keen on insight. Zhu Yicheng is now perfect in the factional balance in the court. He can tolerate the struggle between the various factions in the court, but he must not allow a certain faction and a certain faction to completely gain the upper hand.

Therefore, Liao Huanzhi gave Jiang Jin and many people, there was a certain point in this, which could not only maintain balance, but also could not break the balance. Liao Huanzhi had long known this point.

"This old guy is still smart." In the evening of that day, Zhu Yicheng learned about the conversation between Liao Huanzhi and Jiang Jin from the Jinyiwei, and even Liao Huanzhi entrusted those people to Jiang Jin clearly.

After listening to Zhang Ran’s story, Zhu Yicheng couldn’t help but laugh and scold, and shook his head and said, “Liao Aiqing is still a general idea. Jiang Jin has been trained in the past few years and has understood some truths compared to before.”

"What the emperor said is that after all, they are all trusted officials of the emperor. The emperor was promoted to the slightest time, which was enough to prove the emperor's vision." Zhang Ran took this opportunity to flatter and flattered him.

Zhu Yicheng was very helpful and couldn't help laughing a few more times. Looking at Zhang Ran standing, Zhu Yicheng waved his hand to let him sit down, and said happily, "Zhang Ran!"

"I am here..."

"Okay, it's still a day to rest now. There are not so many rules. Don't always act like this." Zhu Yicheng waved his hand and asked Zhang Ran, who was about to get up, to sit down, and then said: "This time I've only given you a third-class marquis. Do you have any ideas in your mind?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Ran immediately stood up again and said respectfully: "The Emperor can give me such a generous title, which is a surprise to me. I am grateful to me for the Emperor. I am inexplicably grateful. I am sure to be broken to pieces to repay the Emperor's kindness..."

Zhang Ran's words were not casually said, but came from the heart. You should know that there were so many commanders of the Jinyiwei in the Ming Dynasty, but there were only a few of the most powerful commanders of the Jinyiwei.

Among them, Mao Xiang, the first commander, was a person who must be mentioned. Mao Xiang was Zhu Yuanzhang's confidant and the founder of the Jinyiwei. After founding the Jinyiwei, it can be said that he was extremely powerful and even set a record of arrest and murder that has never been seen in ancient times. In one day, the nine tribes of Hu Weiyong were killed, and the founding duke and marquis were killed by more than 20 people, and more than 30,000 heads fell to the ground.

This is something that any commander of the Jinyiwei cannot surpass, but his glory is very short. Shortly after the Hu Weiyong case, Mao Xiang was found a reason to be killed by Zhu Yuanzhang. Until he died, he was only a third-rank official, let alone a title. His family members were like those who died under Mao Xiang's sword, and all their heads fell to the ground.

As for the commanders of the Jinyiwei, Lu Bing is probably the only one who has the highest status and best ends with his life.

Lu Bing is a man of legends. He is the son of Emperor Jiajing's wet nurse and is close to and brothers with Emperor Jiajing and is deeply trusted.

After serving as the commander of the Jinyiwei, Lu Bing completely reversed the situation where the Jinyiwei was given eunuchs at that time and became a revival figure who revitalized the Jinyiwei. Because of his merits and the emperor's trust, he was the first official in the former Ming Dynasty to be both a lord and an orphan. After his death, he was posthumously named Wu Hui and was awarded the title of Zhongsheng Bo.

But even so, although Lu Bing was honored in front of him, his title was a posthumous gift after his death, and he was just an earl. But now Zhang Ran was directly awarded the third-class marquis by Zhu Yicheng, which was never seen in the entire history of the Ming Dynasty, and it was enough to make Zhang Ran extremely excited.

After all, the Jinyiwei is different from ordinary officials. As the commander of the capital, Zhang Ran is just a spy leader. It is logical that he is enough to give a baron or viscount, but this time Zhu Yicheng gave him a marquis.

You should know that even in the army, many meritorious generals did not receive such rewards. This is something Zhang Ran could not imagine, and he was also extremely grateful to Zhu Yicheng.

"Okay, I'm not a stingy person. No one knows your credit. Don't I know yet?" Looking at Zhang Ran who was moved to tears in front of him, Zhu Yicheng waved his hand and said, "Get up, I said back then that as long as you do your best, I will naturally not treat you badly. Just a third-class marquis, there is no need to do this."

"I thank you for yourselves." Zhang Ran kowtowed to Zhu Yicheng with tears in his eyes, and then stood up.

When Zhang Ran sat back, Zhu Yicheng asked, "How were you prepared for what I asked you to do before?"

"Go back to the emperor, I have written a charter and asked the emperor to take a look." When Zhang Ran heard the emperor's question, he took out a piece of stuff and handed it over.

After taking the thing, Zhu Yicheng opened it and looked closely. There were many words written in the memorial. Zhu Yicheng read it carefully with his expression, while Zhang Ran sat aside and accompanied him carefully. At the same time, he secretly looked at Zhu Yicheng's expression, as if he wanted to see something from above.

But what disappointed him was that Zhu Yicheng's expression did not change much until he finished reading it all. Finally, Zhu Yicheng closed the note, narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he was thinking about something. The side hall was quiet, as if it had become extremely quiet for a moment.
