Dayue Shangjing, Forbidden City, Ganqing Palace,.

After the winter, Emperor Yongle, Li Jia, the supreme ruler of Dayue, basically never left the Ganqing Palace, nor even went to court. Generally, political affairs were handled by the left and right ministers. Only some major matters that really needed the emperor's attention would Cao Yi and another deputy minister go to the Ganqing Palace to report back to the emperor for handling.

Fortunately, the founding of the Great Yue Kingdom for hundreds of years, and the entire bureaucratic system had a mature bureaucratic system. Although the emperor rarely attended court, he was still orderly and carried out steadily in state affairs.

The border Lu City was lost. Not many people in the Central Plains knew about it because of the deliberate trapping of the court. After all, it was too far from Shangjing. In that era, the spread of information was extremely difficult. It would be easy to hide something, especially if a powerful state institution deliberately wanted to conceal it.

The people are at home with peace of mind, which does not mean that those officials who know the true feelings can also calm down. They are not worried that the people will make trouble. The barbarians who eat raw meat and drink blood have no appetite. Since they took down Lucheng a few months ago and rushed to the border of Da Vietnam for hundreds of miles, and when they advanced to the vicinity of Tanzhou, the attack suddenly stopped. It seems that these guys only have this ability.

Especially the military newspapers from Anqing City made the big men in Shangjing feel relieved. A mere Anqing City, with 5,000 troops stationed, blocked the Meng army firmly. In Tanzhou, if Sima Ren, the governor of Tanzhou, had gathered more than 10,000 troops, his troops under his jurisdiction would reach more than 50,000 after gathering more than 10,000 defeated troops in Lucheng. It would be impossible for any problem.

Now, they are more worried about the emperor's health. For several months, the emperor has not appeared in the Tai Chi Hall and held a grand dynasty meeting. This is already very telling. The emperor's health has reached a very bad situation. Otherwise, with Li Jia's diligence, such a situation would definitely not have happened.

The seemingly peaceful undercurrents in the capital were surging. Whenever the night was late, carriages rushed out from all parts of the capital and rushed to some special target courtyards.

Now it is time to take the team. Although it is a great risk to take the team one step ahead, once it succeeds, it will have countless benefits and a lifetime of glory and wealth. Many officials have started their communication with a gamble mentality.

Of course, these are just some intermediate officials or even some people who are in high positions but have no real power. People who are marginalized by power, who are still in a state of power, are still unmoved. The Cao family in Beijing, one of the Guan family holds the power of the prime minister and the other is strong in the army. At this time, they become more and more careful. Not only do they leave the house, but they are also confined to their children.

They don't need to stand in a row. They just need to stand up when the dust is about to settle and express their loyalty to the winner. Any action before this may bring disaster to the family.

The eldest prince seemed to be in the hands of the victory, but the Fourth Master did not have the power to fight back. In the eyes of most people, this battle for the throne had already decided, but in their opinion, it was just the beginning.

In the Ganqing Zhan, Li Jia leaned against the couch, and her face showed a sickly rosy red color, but she was very energetic. She was not as rumored by the outside world that the emperor had reached his death. At this moment, in front of him, an old eunuch kneeled in front of him. The old eunuch's hair was gray and looked much older than Li Jia's age.

"Are these people running to Jian'er's Mansion these days?" Li Jia asked, holding a list in his hand.

"Yes, Your Majesty, these people have been traveling back and forth between the Great Prince's Mansion these days, and have stayed until late at night several times." The old eunuch raised his head.

"Hmph!" Li Jia suddenly sneered, "A group of eyes are in a hurry to stand in a team and hug their thighs. Where are the ones?" Most of the people on the list Li Jia didn't take it seriously at all. All he cared about was a few people.

"Those servants have been paying attention to them, but there is no movement at all. People have been to the Grand Prince's Mansion, but without exception, they have been turned away."

Li Jia nodded, "Finally, there are some old and savage guys, who don't show off their eagles. It's so easy to trap them with empty mouths and white teeth."

"Yes!" the old eunuch smiled.

"What's the movements of the Imperial Guard?" Li Jia asked, putting down the list in his hand, rubbed his beard.

"The great prince has mobilized 18 generals of the Imperial Guard over the past period of time, eight of whom were demoted, nine were promoted, one was transferred, and another, four fourth-rank rank generals have been promoted recently. This is the list and their position transfer." The old eunuch took out another piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it to Li Jia.

"There is no criticism from General Guan?" Li Jia asked after bounced the paper.

"General Guan heard that he was sick and could not be in charge of the board after taking leave." The old eunuch said carefully.

Li Jia laughed loudly, but she still coughed violently, "This dog is as strong as a cow, so sick that she can't help but avoid things?"

The old eunuch lowered his head, it was not a problem he could say.

"Where has the fourth brother arrived?"

"According to the mansion report that came today, the Fourth Master will return to Beijing tomorrow."

"As soon as he returned to Beijing, he came to see me."

"Yes, your Majesty."

"Well, you go down first and ask Cao Yi to see me." Li Jia closed her eyes, looking a little tired.

"Your Majesty, you are tired today. You might as well take a break. It would be okay to see Cao Cao again tomorrow." The old eunuch stood up and said respectfully.

Li Jia looked at the list of generals in her hand and remained silent. The old eunuch bent down tactfully and retreated, gently covering the door.

Cao Dan stood outside the door and looked at the hunched eunuch with some jealousy as he stepped back. The old eunuch who seemed to be old and sick was named Gou Jing. He is already sixty-five years old this year and is the previous eunuch general manager. Cao Dan took over the position from him. Although Gou Jing has no obvious position, he is still the most powerful person in the palace. For nothing else, he is summoned by the emperor alone every ten days. Cao Dan has never enjoyed this honor. Gou Jing lives in an extremely remote city.

Cao Dan had wanted to touch the old eunuch's bottom, but what unexpectedly was that in Gou Jing's remote yard, he was so vigilant that he, the chief supervisor of the inner palace, was blocked back without hesitation. This made him both startled and frightened. Later, he heard from his elder brother that there was a mysterious secret guard beside the emperor, responsible for monitoring the officials for the emperor, collecting intelligence, and handling some things that could not be seen. As for the specific situation, even his elder brother Cao Yi didn't know, but probably knew that there was such an institution.

It turned out that he was not the controller of the harem. This discovery made Cao Dan very depressed. Why didn't this old dog die? He cursed violently in his heart, but on the surface, he had to bow his waist and send the old guy away with gifts.

Two eunuchs with big bodies and round arms walked out of the darkness and slowly walked towards a sedan parked in the distance. This was the honor given to Gou Jing by the emperor.

"Your Majesty!" After saluting Li Jia, Eunuch Huang, who was on the side, quickly moved the brocade stool and served Cao Yi to sit on the side of the bed.

Li Jia handed Cao Yi the list of the transfer generals, "Do you know this?"

After taking the list, Cao Yi's cold sweat suddenly came down, "Your Majesty, what's going on? I don't know yet. After I go down, I immediately summoned the Minister of War to question."

"You, the chief of the country, don't know if you are mobilizing such a large army? Humph, you are a little bolder!" Cao Yi knew that this boldness was not about himself, but about a certain master.

"Your Majesty, in fact, these transfer orders must be approved by the prime minister in the end, which means that this is just an intention. In fact, the old man has always been in charge of the Ministry of War, and it is normal for him to transfer some positions. After the minister goes down, let's discuss with the uncle!" Cao Yi was not unaware of it, but was unwilling to interfere with this matter. After the Ministry of War came up with this plan, he immediately pretended to be sick and hid at home, neither opposed nor supported it.

Looking at the prime minister who was slippery like a loach, Li Jia shook her head helplessly.

"No need to discuss, pass my order. Let's order Cheng Qun to be transferred to the commander of the Jinwu Guard, the left and right Jinwu Guards, Xue Chengyi was transferred to the commander of the guards, the left and right prison guards, Feng Congyi was appointed as the commander of the Wu Guards, the left and right military guards, so that's it!"

Cao Yi looked at the list in his hand. The eldest prince was too hasty and poked the emperor's pain. The appointment of these candidates suddenly pulled several major troops of the Imperial Guard out of the palm of the eldest prince's hand, which was a stolen chicken without losing rice.

"Your Majesty, Cheng Qun and Xue Chengyi have always served in the Imperial Guard. They are highly respected and can naturally be competent. However, Feng Congyi has been working on the frontier before and is not familiar with the Imperial Guard. Besides, His Majesty summoned him to the capital to return to the frontier to resist the invasion of the Mongols. Now he has served as the commander of the Wuwei?"

Li Jia waved his hand impatiently, "I originally planned to let Feng Congyi take the left and right Wuwei to fight the frontier, but now I just want him to take office in advance and get familiar with the situation of Wuwei. Isn't this good for him to go to the front line in the future?"

Cao Yi nodded, the reason was open and honest.

"Those candidates from the Ministry of War?"

"Come from there, go back there!" Li Jia closed her eyes.

"Your Majesty, there is nothing else, I will take my leave!" Cao Yi stood up.

"Cao Yi, Sha Qianli, the Minister of War, is old and confused. He is unclear and has repeatedly let me down. I think he is an old minister for decades. Say hello and let him resign automatically!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, it's just Sha Qianliru left his post. Who will take over as Minister of War?"

"I have a few candidates here. After you go down, you can discuss with the people from the Political Affairs Hall to see who can handle it?" He handed a note.

Taking it with both hands, Cao Yizhong glanced at it, and he knew it in his heart. Although there were seven or eight names on it, the emperor's meaning was already very clear. The last one was what His Majesty the Emperor really wanted. (To be continued)
