Two days later, the Imperial Court in Beijing was held as scheduled, and the most interesting of these were the pleas for help from the Eastern Chagatai Khanate and the Timurid Empire's presentation to the Ming Dynasty of the unification of the Chagatai Khanate.

Originally, these were two trivial things for Da Ming, just a fight between two Western Regions states, but with Narsha's stabbing of the foreign boy in the Sifang Guild Hall, and his fame in the capital with his enthusiastic and unrestrained Western Regions dance, people's attention gradually paid attention to these two small things.

Of particular importance was the fact that the auxiliary ministers were seriously divided on whether to send troops to aid the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, and a confrontation gradually emerged between the Imperial Court and the Xungui Group.

I'm afraid that Narsa and Dorul would never have imagined that in recent years, because they have been pressed by the Xiaowu army and the sailors under the martial arts hall, those nobles of the Ming Dynasty are now holding back their strength to prove themselves on the battlefield, so they are extremely enthusiastic about sending troops to the Eastern Chagatai Khanate.

Speaking of which, the two of them would also like to thank Li Yuntian, if it weren't for Li Yuntian leading the Xiaowu Army and the Navy Division to fight in the south and the north, and then purging the Japanese Invaders, which caused great pressure on the Ming Lords, I am afraid that the Ming Lords would not be able to look down on the fighters in the Western Regions this time, who would be willing to mobilize the people to go to the barren and barbaric Western Regions to fight a battle that has nothing to do with the Ming Dynasty?

Ever since Li Yuntian asked Lin Xin to come and warn Narsa not to make a fuss about the veil, Narsa has been keenly aware that there are huge differences among the top leaders of the Ming Dynasty on whether to aid the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, otherwise Li Yuntian would not be so cautious, so she suddenly had great expectations in her heart that the Ming Dynasty would send troops to aid the Eastern Chagatai Khanate.

In front of the court, hundreds of civil and military officials in the corridors of the east and west thousand-step corridors gathered in groups of three or five, talking about today's court meeting.

In fact, because the power of the auxiliary minister, the Chinese official and the Xungui are almost the same, the power of the civilian clique and the xungui clique in the court is in a kind of equilibrium, and the two sides have different emphases, so there are few fierce conflicts in domestic affairs.

The only thing that could lead to a large-scale conflict between the civilian clique and the noble clique was whether or not to send troops to aid the Eastern Chagatai Khanate.

The civilian clique naturally didn't want the labor army to go on an expedition to fight a war that had nothing to do with the Ming Dynasty, after all, the Eastern Chagatai Khanate was not a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty was really unknown.

The Kexun group firmly grasped this fighter and wanted to fight a beautiful turnaround battle to prove that the Weisuo army was no worse than the Xiaowu army, so they insisted on sending troops on the grounds that the Eastern Chagatai Khanate was concerned with the stability of the Western Regions.

During this period of the Qianbu Langhou Dynasty, the civil officials and nobles naturally had to make a final discussion, and those officials who could enter the Taihe Hall and the auxiliary ministers had already made their respective roles in the Great Dynasty clear under the instructions of the ministers.

"What about King Chungmu?" In the East Thousand Step Corridor, Zhang Fu glanced at the noble ministers gathered in the room, and asked Zhou Zheng beside him with some surprise.

Since the honor of the Xungui clique was at stake in this dynasty, Zhang Fu and Zhou Zheng and other leaders of the Xungui clique had gathered together to discuss how to resist the civil official clique's rebellion in the court.

Correspondingly, Yang Shiqi and Hu Ying and other civil officials of the cabinet and the six ministries also gathered together to discuss ways to prevent the imperial court from sending troops.

Judging from the current situation, the power of the civilian clique and the Xungui clique in the court is comparable, so it is difficult for both sides to overwhelm the other.

At this time, Li Yuntian's role is particularly important, not to mention that the emerging nobles of the Wutang family have a lot of power in the court, and the emerging forces among the civil officials are also closely related to Li Yuntian.

The so-called emerging forces refer to the three ministry officials who were transferred from Nanjing to the capital because of Li Yuntian's efforts to investigate and handle the Lianghuai Yandao corruption case, namely Pan Xingmin, Zhang Tao, and Qin Ke.

Among them, Pan Xingmin was moved from the left waiter of the Nanjing Criminal Department to the left waiter of the Beijing Division of the Criminal Department, Zhang Tao was moved from the left deputy capital of the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate to the left waiter of the Beijing Household Department, and Qin Ke was moved from the left Shaoqing of Nanjing Dali Temple to the right Shaoqing of Beijing Dali Temple.

For Pan Xingmin, Zhang Tao, and Qin Ke, the trio's assistance to Li Yuntian in trying the Lianghuai Yandao case can be described as a "blessing in disguise", and they unexpectedly benefited a lot from the cases that were avoided in advance, and they were able to turn over and re-enter the core of power in the Ming Dynasty.

This was Emperor Xuande's further weakening of the power of the Six Ministries, and at the same time, he hoped that a third force would appear in the civilian clique to balance the relationship between the cabinet and the Six Ministries, and Pan Xingmin, Zhang Tao, and Qin Ke were the leaders of the third force that Emperor Xuande expected.

Although the emerging civilian forces led by Pan Xingmin, Zhang Tao and Qin Ke were not yet able to compete with Yang Shiqi and Hu Ying, they already had a place in the court and were strongly co-opted by the cabinet and the six ministries.

Li Yuntian has a huge influence on Pan Xingmin and others, speaking of which Li Yuntian has a "knowing grace" to them, it was Li Yuntian's recommendation to Emperor Xuande back then, and the three of them were valued by Emperor Xuande and then transferred to the capital, which was a clever move by Li Yuntian to secretly suppress the old forces of the civil official group.

However, Pan Xingmin and others did not disappoint Li Yuntian, and after coming to the capital, they secretly actively expanded their power, not only absorbing many members, but also successively promoting and transferring officials from the Nanjing officialdom to the capital or to local posts.

The officials of Nanjing officialdom were basically suppressed and excluded by a certain force of the imperial court before they had to go to the yamen of the Nanjing Ministry to retire, so they cherished the opportunity in front of them, and all of them looked forward to Pan Xingmin and others, and never wanted to return to the dull Nanjing officialdom.

Originally, Li Yuntian had the most right to speak in this kind of foreign use of troops, and throughout the wars of the Ming Dynasty in the past ten years, all of them were led by Li Yuntian and all of them won battles, so his opinion was naturally very important.

Not only that, when it comes to understanding the Western Regions, I am afraid that no one in the Ming Dynasty knows better than Li Yuntian, because Li Yuntian set up a large camp of the Xiaowu Army in Guanxi a few years ago and began to operate the forces of the Xiaowu Army in Guanxi, and he must be aware of the impact of the war between the Eastern Chagatai Khanate and the Timurid Empire on the Ming Dynasty.

Although Emperor Xuande was full of regret about Li Yuntian's "death" in his edict, revealing the meaning of entrusting Li Yuntian with a heavy responsibility, Li Yuntian was not an auxiliary minister appointed by Emperor Xuande after all, so Li Yuntian did not necessarily have to participate in the deliberations of the auxiliary ministers.

Speaking of which, it will involve the edict of Emperor Xuande, at that time, in order to ensure that the prince boarded the plane and let Li Yuntian wipe out the traitors who betrayed the court and wanted to replace the crown prince, so Emperor Xuande's edict did not appoint the "dead" Li Yuntian as the auxiliary minister, but everyone knew that if it weren't for this matter, Emperor Xuande would definitely make Li Yuntian an auxiliary minister.

In fact, Li Yuntian was subsequently named "King of Zhongwu" by Empress Sun with the edict of Emperor Xuande, which has clearly expressed the meaning of Emperor Xuande, and it is obvious that Li Yuntian's prince is more important than the auxiliary minister.

Therefore, whenever the auxiliary ministers encounter important matters to discuss, they will always call Li Yuntian to discuss together.

In a sense, Li Yuntian, who has won the trust and respect of the Empress Dowager, has actually become the spokesperson of the Empress Dowager among the auxiliary ministers, and the Empress Dowager is very relieved that Li Yuntian is involved in handling those major military and political affairs, and there is no need to worry about the royal rights and interests being damaged.

Since Li Yuntian is not an auxiliary minister, and the imperial court has not had any major events recently, he has not participated in the deliberations of the auxiliary ministers since returning to Beijing, except for handling the official affairs at hand, he is to give lectures to the orthodox emperor.

The orthodox emperor was very interested in what Li Yuntian taught, and benefited a lot from it, which made the empress dowager feel very pleased, in her opinion, with Li Yuntian's teaching, the orthodox emperor would definitely become a generation of Ming monarchs, as long as the orthodox emperor could learn half of Li Yuntian's mind, it was enough to control the court.

It is worth mentioning that there are some royal and powerful children who accompany the orthodox emperor to attend classes, not only to relieve the boredom of the orthodox emperor, but also to train the orthodox emperor's descendants.

It stands to reason that only those children of the main room can get the opportunity to accompany the driver, but the Zhongwu Mansion is more special, in addition to the two sons of the princess Yingrui county lord Zhou Yuting, the two sons of the side concubine Ruixiang county lord Zhu Yuxin can also accompany the king.

If according to the blood relationship, Zhu Yuxin's two sons are cousins with the orthodox emperor, and the relationship between the two sides is one step closer.

"He went to the palace, and the Empress Dowager summoned him for questioning." Zhou Zheng is Li Yuntian's father-in-law, so he naturally knows Li Yuntian's whereabouts, and said to Zhang Fu with a smile.

"Zhongguo Gong, what do you say is the attitude of King Zhongwu in the affairs of the Western Regions?" Hearing this, a noble at the scene couldn't help but ask curiously, because Li Yuntian avoided the matter of whether to send troops to the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, I am afraid that no one in the court except Zhou Zheng knew Li Yuntian's thoughts.

The nobles in the room looked at Zhou Zheng when they heard this, and their expressions were a little nervous, after all, they supported the dispatch of troops so that the Weisuo Army could fight a turnaround battle, and then fight against the Xiaowu Army, Li Yuntian must know their intentions, and he may not obstruct it, after all, it involves the interests of the Xiaowu Army.

What is particularly important is that once Li Yuntian proposes to personally take command and go to the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, then none of these nobles of the Ming Dynasty will be able to compete with them for military power, unless Zhang Fu and Zhou Zheng personally go out Li Yuntian will take the initiative to retreat.

Obviously, Zhang Fu is too old to withstand the wind and sand in the Western Regions and the fatigue of long-distance marching, and Zhou Zheng is Li Yuntian's father-in-law, how can he fight with Li Yuntian for the military power to fight for the Western Regions?

Therefore, in the eyes of those nobles, it is very important whether Li Yuntian intends to personally take command and send troops to the Western Regions, otherwise their hope can only be a bamboo basket for nothing.

"Ladies and gentlemen, King Zhongwu has always attached great importance to the Western Regions, so naturally he will not sit idly by and watch the Eastern Chagatai Khanate be annexed by the Western Chagatai." Zhou Zheng knew everyone's worries, and after glancing around at the scene, he said with a smile, "He has spent a lot of energy in the past two years busy with the affairs of Pingwei, I'm afraid that if the imperial court sends troops to the Western Regions this time, he won't join in the fun." ”

Everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they heard this, in fact, since the suppression of the rebellion of King Han, Li Yuntian has never fought with the nobles for military exploits, and he only stepped forward at a critical juncture, and then turned the tide.

Therefore, the nobles were actually not worried that Li Yuntian would compete with them for the position of commander of the Western Regions, but they were more at ease with what came out of Zhou Zheng's mouth.
