Zhao Mingrui died in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment on the eve of being taken to Xuanyiwei Prison.

This incident conveyed a lot of information to Gao Yihuan, the first is that some people don't want him to continue to investigate, the second is that they are very strong, and the third is that someone leaked the news.

This made Gao Yihuan aware of the dangerous aura, and his energy over the years was mainly used for external battles, and was not put on the inside.

Now that the external enemies have fallen one by one, the Great Wei court has lost a unified enemy, and the contradictions have been transformed, which has made him a little unprepared.

In this case, Fang Jiayu investigated the evidence that the shipping strategy was tampered with, Gao Yihuan was sure that he was trustworthy, but others, Gao Yihuan did not dare to guarantee it.

Hearing the news of Zhao Mingrui's suicide, Gao Yihuan was angry in his heart, and at the same time there was a trace of fear.

At this time, Gao Yihuan was not ready, so he compromised with the noble forces.

The next day, Gao Yihuan issued an order that Zhao Mingrui, the main culprit in the military capital case, committed suicide in fear of the crime, and the case was terminated, and the ministers of the DPRK and China were forbidden to mention it again.

After Gao Xinghao was guilty of the crime, Gao Yihuan did not hold him responsible, but only fined him for three months, and he closed his eyes and thought about it, but the workshop manager who was arrested was exiled by the army.

A coming storm, calm for the time being.

Although the Northern Party achieved its goal, it did not lose anything, but forced Gao Yihuan to make concessions, which greatly boosted their morale.

Although the Southern Party officials were not convinced, their forces were weak, and the emperor could only endure them.

The court temporarily restored calm, so that the Northern Party officials gradually relaxed their hearts, but at this moment, two things suddenly happened in the court.

First, the commander of Xuanyiwei made Dongchang Hou Gao Yicheng, who was transferred to Yunnan as a general of the town guard, in charge of Yunnan-Guizhou military affairs, and suppressed the local Tusi, and the deputy envoy Fang Jiayu was promoted to the commander of Xuanyiwei and took charge of the edict.

Second, not long after Gao Yicheng was transferred, Zhang Baimu, the imperial historian, impeached Yang Yongyu, a university scholar, and said that while he was in charge of the Criminal Department, he committed suicide in prison for a repeat offense and was guilty of negligence.

As soon as the recital came out, a minister immediately wrote to the emperor, saying that the emperor had issued an order that the military funding case should not be mentioned again, and now someone mentioned it again and should be punished, but Gao Yihuan replied that the military capital case had been decided and should not be mentioned again, but this recital was not to overturn the military capital case, but to say that the prison of the Criminal Department was not strictly managed.

The officials with a keen sense of political smell immediately understood what the emperor meant, but the vast majority of officials, afraid of the forces of the Northern Party, did not dare to go to the book to echo it, but a group of idle and painful officials in the DPRK and the Central Committee came to the end, coupled with the Southern Party officials who added fuel to the fire, Yang Yongyu couldn't withstand the pressure, and wrote to retreat as advance, indicating that he was old and weak, and he was unable to do so, and he wanted to return to his hometown.

Yang Yongyu is also considered an old seniority, after the three dynasties of Ming Shun and Wei, he served in the Qin Tianjian of the Ming Dynasty in his early years, and then surrendered to Li Zicheng and became the squire of the Dashun Dynasty Rite Government.

When he went to the book, he originally thought that Gao Yihuan would keep it, and this is also a common practice.

Generally, if the old minister resigns, the emperor will keep it to show his favor, if he resigns, the emperor will not stay, it is a very shameless thing, generally speaking, the emperor will keep it.

But this time, Gao Yihuan approved it and did not keep it.

This time, Yang Yongyu is passive, the Northern Party is also very passive, everyone knows that Gao Yihuan does not wait to see Yang Yongyu, the old gentleman has been in Chang'an for more than half a month, he feels bored, and he is extremely sad to return to his hometown.

Yang Yongyu resigned and returned to his hometown, and Zhang Baimu, who played the game, was soon promoted to one level, and the Northern Party immediately raised its vigilance.

Chen Mingxia hurriedly recommended Wang Youcai, the servant of the Criminal Department, to take over the position of Shangshu, and recommended him to join the cabinet, and at the same time, the southern party noticed that Gao Yihuan wanted to deal with the northern party, and immediately recommended Jiang Yueguang, who was idle at home, to join the cabinet.

Just when the two parties were competing against each other, Gao Yihuan ordered an irrelevant person, who had just been transferred from Hedong to Hebei to serve as the political envoy Song Zhisheng into the cabinet.

In the court of the Great Wei Dynasty, the officials are mainly divided into three parts, the first is the Northern Party, the second is the Southern Party, and the third is not a party, but in the imperial court, the formation of a group and a group, and mutual support, can undoubtedly rise faster, so the officials who form a party account for more than half of the court.

Song Zhisheng and Chen Mingxia are on the same list, Chen Mingxia is Tanhua, he is the eye of the list, and he was recommended by Chen Mingxia before he joined Gao Yihuan's command.

Chen Mingxia didn't say anything when he saw that it was him, he had a relationship with the same list, plus he recommended him, according to the rules of officialdom, he was his own person, but Gao Yihuan chose Song Zhishen because he knew that he was a person, he didn't form a party, and he didn't buy anyone's account.

In the military funding case, the Northern Party did not lose much, but after only more than two months, the No. 2 person was eliminated, which made the Northern Party immediately panic, tense its spirits, and prepared to counterattack.

But Gao Yihuan's actions ended here, he ordered people to continue the investigation, and on the other hand, he began to appease the Xungui group.

His failure to use Jiang Yueguang, who was recommended by the Yugoslav Party, was a signal he deliberately released, and at the same time, he also convened the cabinet to discuss two other things, preparing to divert attention.

In the Heavenly Pavilion, Gao Yihuan sat on the throne with a smile on his face, and several scholars sat on either side.

At this time, Gao Yihuan waved his hand and withdrew the palace maid who had refreshments, and said with a smile: "In recent days, the court has been boiling up, because of so many things, the energy of the court has been restrained, and the state affairs have been wasted, and I am deeply depressed. ”

Many scholars were silent, listening to Gao Yihuan continue: "I have thought about it again and again, between the north and the south, the contradiction is so big, I am still responsible. ”

When Li Yan, Chen Mingxia and the others heard this, they all raised their heads, and Li Yan hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, as the first assistant, the minister failed to reconcile the contradictions, and the responsibility lies with the minister!" ”

The contradiction between the north and the south has been sharp in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, and in the Chongzhen period, because Donglin was in power, the south overwhelmed the north, and now it is just the opposite.

At that time, the north was eroded, and the south was unwilling to pay more taxes and share the pressure, which eventually led to a collapse.

Now it is the northern noble, who wants to seize most of the resources, and if he doesn't handle it well, he will also have endless troubles.

This contradiction is not so easy to reconcile, Gao Yihuan did not blame Li Yan, he waved his hand, "This responsibility, everyone should not fight, but I am at fault!" There are still many challenges for the imperial court, and I hope that the Great Wei will be able to maintain stability and get back on track. ”

"I have gathered everyone here today to discuss two things." Saying that, Gao Yihuan glanced at Chen Mingxia, "The first thing is about the military orders of the imperial court, and the imperial court transferred some of the orders to Jiangnan, which caused many people to be dissatisfied. After thinking about it for a while, I felt that it was indeed inappropriate to do so, and it was easy to form collusion between officials and businessmen. Therefore, I decided that in the future, orders will be publicly tendered by various ministries, and those with lower prices will be given orders. Do you have any comments! ”

In this way, it is to rely on the ability to see who produces the goods at a good price and cheap, and the workshop that originally relied on the relationship to get the list may not be able to open.

Chen Mingxia frowned slightly, this seems to be Gao Yihuan's compromise, but the result may be even more unfavorable to Xungui, but it is reasonable to do so, Chen Mingxia knows that Li Yan and the others will definitely agree, so he preemptively said: "Your Majesty's strategy will definitely convince people." ”

Gao Yihuan saw that several other scholars also agreed, so he said: "The second thing is about North Korea. The northern provinces are in dire need of labor, and Hauge's entrenchment in Korea has always been a threat to our Great Wei, so I am ready to wipe out Korea. ”

Gao Yihuan did not want to be a nobleman, especially ordinary non-commissioned officers and middle- and lower-ranking officers also owned a lot of military land, and they also needed tenants to cultivate the land.

Only when Gao Yihuan won the support of the vast majority of non-commissioned officers and officers could he have the confidence to wage war against those disobedient and insatiable nobles.
