In May of the eighth year of orthodoxy, a major event occurred in the capital, when it rained, a thunderbolt happened to split on the Fengtian Temple, blowing up a corner of the Fengtian Temple, and causing an uproar in the capital.

The ancients could not explain natural phenomena such as thunder and rain, so they regarded the lightning strike incident in Fengtian Temple as a warning from heaven.

The orthodox emperor was frightened by this, thinking that the heavens were dissatisfied with him, so he specially issued an edict asking the minister of civil and military affairs to explain the advantages and disadvantages of his gains and losses in government affairs since he ascended the throne.

Li Yuntian didn't take the lightning strike to heart at all, the Fengtian Hall was tall and magnificent, and it was outstanding in the Forbidden City, so it was not uncommon to be struck by lightning.

According to Li Yuntian's idea, lightning rods can be installed on various buildings in the Forbidden City, so that lightning strikes can be avoided.

However, the Forbidden City is the emperor's residence, how can the buildings inside be easily touched? If it destroys the feng shui of the Forbidden City and affects the national fortune of the Ming Dynasty, it will be a heinous crime.

Because the lightning strike incident in Fengtian Temple was a huge matter, the orthodox emperor specially sent someone to inform Li Yuntian to participate in the dynasty.

Since the death of the Empress Dowager Zhang, the only thing that the orthodox emperor can rely on is the inner court and Li Yuntian, and now that such a big thing has happened in the capital, he naturally hopes that Li Yuntian can sit in the court, so as not to reprimand him in the court by the lightning strike incident in Fengtian Palace.

Li Yuntian naturally knew the Orthodox Emperor's thoughts, with the death of the Empress Dowager Zhang, the situation in the capital became more and more tense, and the various factions fought openly and secretly with each other, which made the Orthodox Emperor overwhelmed.

Compared with the struggle between the inner court, the civil official group and the Xungui group, the military attaches of the martial arts hall family lived a quiet life, and no one dared to cause trouble if Li Yuntian was there.

Moreover, Li Yuntian strictly ordered the military attachés of the Wutang family not to get involved in the battles of various factions in the capital, otherwise they would be severely punished.

The reason why Li Yuntian gave such an order was related to the special origin of the military attachés of the Wutang family.

The senior military attachés of the Jiangwutang series were born in the Governor's Office of the Five Armed Forces, so they had a close relationship with the Governors of the Metropolitan Offices of the Five Armed Forces.

As for the middle and low-level military attaches in the martial arts, a large part of them are the children of the nobles and the royal family, especially those of the nobles, who will inadvertently get involved in the game of the imperial court.

Therefore, Li Yuntian took precautions and gave a warning to the military attachés and leaders of the martial arts hall, so that they could make as few mistakes as possible.

To tell the truth, Li Yuntian did not expect the military attaché of the martial arts hall to stay out of the situation in the capital, he hoped that the military attaché of the martial arts hall would cause less trouble, because in the end, he would definitely be responsible for the aftermath.

"Lord Wang!" On the day of the Great Dynasty, as soon as Li Yuntian got off the carriage outside the Daming Gate, the surrounding civil and military officials rushed up to him and bowed to him.

Li Yuntian smiled slightly when he saw this, nodded to all the officials, and chose to remain neutral in this battle between the inner court, the civil official group and the Xungui group, which made Li Yuntian and the military attachés of the martial arts hall the target of various factions.

Besides, Li Yuntian is now famous, and he is the head of the hundred civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty, and the officials in the capital naturally respect him.

It is worth mentioning that Li Yuntian's head of the hundred officials does not mean that Li Yuntian controlled the court like the previous prime minister, but refers to Li Yuntian's title, Li Yuntian is the only prince among the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, with a noble status and no one else who is right.

Although people from the royal family will also attend during the Great Dynasty, none of those people have official positions and are not officials of the Ming Dynasty, so the head of these hundred officials naturally belongs to Li Yuntian.

"I hope nothing goes wrong." Coming to the Taihe Palace, Li Yuntian exhaled deeply after standing in front of the hall, and said secretly in his heart.

He had already received the news that the civil official group was going to take advantage of this lightning strike in the Fengtian Temple to attack the inner court, and the inner court represented the imperial power in a sense, and if the inner court was angered, then it would be the civil official group that would be unlucky.

"The emperor has arrived." Soon after, a high-pitched voice came from the side door in front of the main hall, and the Orthodox Emperor walked in, surrounded by palace maids, eunuchs, and guards.

"Long live the emperor, long live, long live!" Seeing this, the civil and military ministers in the main hall knelt down one after another and shouted in unison.

"Everyone, love Qing Ping." After taking a seat on the dragon chair, the orthodox emperor lifted his hands upwards in the void, and said in a deep voice to the ministers kneeling in front of the hall.

Although the orthodox emperor is only a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy now, he started to go to court eight years ago, and now he naturally knows the process of going to court.

"Long live thanks!" When the ministers heard this, they thanked them in unison, and then stood up in a hula.

"The emperor has a will, there is a book, and there is no book to retreat." Song Dashan, who was standing in front of the orthodox emperor, first bowed to the orthodox emperor, and then turned to the important ministers of cultural relics in the hall, and said in a loud voice.

Wang Zhen stood on Song Dashan's side, bowed and stood, it can be seen from the announcement of the orthodox emperor that Song Dashan is more favored by the orthodox emperor than him, but Song Dashan is used to being low-key, which makes Wang Zhen stand out from the inner court and become the chief of the celebrant and supervisor.

"The officials have a book." Song Dashan's voice lagged behind, and a civil official flashed out of the queue, came to the front of the hall and bowed, and said loudly to the orthodox emperor, "Yu Qian, the governor of Jinyu, has served in the place for more than ten years, pacifying the people, governing the place, and making every effort. ”

According to the custom, the yamen of the major ministries and courtyards in the capital reported the affairs of the yamen to the orthodox emperor in turn, and the officials, as the head of the yamen of the major ministries, naturally took the lead in reporting.

"Yu Qian?" Li Yuntian was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, it seems that Yang Shiqi played a trick before leaving, and transferred Yu Qian back to the capital.

Since Xuande five years Yu Qian was sent by Emperor Xuande to patrol Shanxi and Henan, it has been more than ten years in a blink of an eye, Yu Qian has rehabilitated the wrongs of the two places, encouraged farming, treated the people well, has a high prestige among the people, and is one of the local officials in the limelight of the Ming Dynasty, so this time it should be promoted.

There is no doubt that among Yang Shiqi's disciples, in addition to Li Yuntian, the second place is Yu Qian, Yu Qian is honest and fair, honest and honest, coupled with his outstanding ability to govern the place, he is the best among Yang Shiqi's disciples.

Obviously, Yang Shiqi wanted Yu Qian to enter the cabinet after a few years of training in the Ministry of Rites, so as to enrich the strength of the cabinet.

Since Yang Shiqi, Yang Rong and Yang Pu have been in charge of the cabinet since the beginning of the Xuande year, this has suppressed the growth of the successor force of the cabinet, and by the time the three of them realized that it was too late, although Ma Yu and others were the best among the scholars, they lacked qualifications and prestige and were difficult to convince the public.

Looking at the civil officials who are qualified to enter the cabinet, Yu Qian is the most suitable candidate, the best among many local officials, and has rich experience in governance, which is enough to deal with the affairs of the cabinet.

The only fly in the ointment is that Yu Qian did not serve in the yamen of the major ministries in the capital except for serving as the superintendent of the Imperial History of the Imperial Procuratorate, which became his biggest shortcoming, so he was nominated as the candidate for the Zuo Shilang after the Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Rites.

Although Yang Shiqi left the capital, this does not mean that he ignores the cabinet, he is very aware of the disadvantages of the cabinet, so he has reached an agreement with those important ministers of the six ministries before Zhishi to transfer Yu Qian to the capital, otherwise he would not just leave the cabinet without hesitation.

At this moment, Li Yuntian didn't know that Yu Qian came to the capital to take up his post five years earlier than in history, and his position was changed from the right attendant of the military department to the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites.

Regarding this proposal of the Ministry of Rites, Wang Zhen, who was standing behind Song Dashan, was slightly stunned, and then frowned, he did not see the recital about the promotion of Yu Qian to the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites in the recital of the cabinet to the celebrant supervisor, which means that the cabinet and the six ministries joined forces to catch him off guard this time.

To tell the truth, Wang Zhen doesn't like Yu Qian, who doesn't know the times, in his opinion, Yu Qian has been the governor for many years, and he has already made a lot of money, but Yu Qian has never given him a gift when he has been in Beijing several times, which makes him very dissatisfied.

Although Wang Zhen couldn't remember who among those local officials had given him gifts, he remembered those who didn't give gifts clearly, and the leader of them belonged to Qian.

However, because Yu Qian was protected by Yang Shiqi, the head of the cabinet, and the Empress Dowager Zhang was in the capital, and the celebrant was under the control of Jin Ying and Wang Jin, it was difficult for Wang Zhen to find trouble with Yu Qian.

But since the death of the Empress Dowager Zhang, the situation has changed dramatically, and Yang Shiqi faded out of the political arena because of Yang Ji's affairs and finally withdrew, which allowed Wang Zhen to free up his hands to beat Yu Qian.

Although Yu Qian is Li Yuntian's fellow subject, Wang Zhen is not worried that Li Yuntian will trouble him because of this matter, because Li Yuntian and Yu Qian actually don't have much intersection, and the two don't have much personal friendship except for being in the same department.

What is particularly important is that Li Yuntian is now the leader of the Wutang family, while Yu Qian is from the civil official group and belongs to two different camps.

Of course, Wang Zhen will definitely not give a dead hand to Qian, no matter how Yu Qian is also Li Yuntian's fellow student, if he really wants to be placed in the place of Qian and death, Li Yuntian will definitely not sit idly by.

In other words, as long as Wang Zhen grasps the square inch of beating Yu Qian, then Li Yuntian will not get involved in Yu Qian's affairs, and the interests involved in this are too complicated.

In view of the fact that Yu Qian does not understand the world and is quite capable at the same time, Wang Zhencai does not want this annoying guy to enter Beijing, if he had known about this matter, he would definitely fan the flames in front of the orthodox point to sabotage this matter.

But now that the officials have brought up this matter during the imperial court, Wang Zhen has no choice but to watch the plan of the officials come to fruition.

"I'll leave this matter to the court." The orthodox emperor nodded when he heard this, and said in a deep voice, he also knew something about Qian, when the Empress Dowager Zhang was alive, she once asked people to collect the information of the local officials of the Ming Dynasty to the orthodox emperor, and the purpose was to let the orthodox emperor know in his heart, and he could choose a competent person to entrust him with important tasks in the future.

Therefore, the orthodox emperor knew that Yu Qian had a good reputation, he was a capable person, and he was in the same department as Li Yuntian, and his qualifications were enough to be transferred to the capital as an assistant to Hu Ying, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

If it is replaced by Emperor Xuande, it will definitely be reported to the public and the Ministry of Grace, but because the orthodox emperor has not yet been in power, he handed over this matter to the civil and military ministers for court discussion, and then the court meeting result is better than him.

Under normal circumstances, the orthodox emperor would not refute the results of the court discussion, after all, he is still a young son of heaven, according to the edict of Emperor Xuande and the Empress Dowager Zhang, the opinions of the auxiliary ministers must be respected before taking the government.

Hearing this, the corners of Li Yuntian's mouth couldn't help but show a hint of a smile, once it was handed over to the court, then Yu Qian's appointment to be promoted to the left waiter of the Ministry of Rites would definitely pass.

Wang Zhen's eyes flashed with a cold look, thinking that he wanted to expand his power as soon as possible, if he had enough henchmen in the court, then he would know the movements of the civilian clique in advance.
