According to the report of the Dongchang spies, Li Yuntian's affairs affected the various factions of the imperial court, because Li Yuntian suddenly lost power in front of Emperor Xuande, which made all the forces in the imperial court have to redivide their respective spheres of influence, and at the same time compete for the control of the martial arts hall after Li Yuntian's death.

Jiangwutang is a yamen founded by Li Yuntian, not only in charge of the new martial arts of the Ming Dynasty, but more importantly, there is also the strongest military force of the Ming Dynasty - Xiaowu Army, as well as the huge variety of industries under the Wutang.

What is particularly important is that the military attachés from the Jiangwutang have completely controlled the political power of the Jiaozhi Bu Political Envoy Division, the Liaodong Bu Political Envoy Division, the Nuer Ganbu Political Envoy Division, the Mongolian Bu Political Envoy Division, and the Shanbei Political Envoy Division, and the grassroots officials of the Guangxi Bu Political Envoy Department have all been replaced by officials from the Jiangwutang, and it can be said that the Jiangwutang controlled the six political envoys of the Ming Dynasty in one fell swoop.

Although the geographical location of these six political envoys is relatively remote, such as the Nuer Ganbu political envoy is still regarded as a barren land in the cold weather, it is also a provincial-level yamen in the Ming Dynasty after all, and its role is becoming more and more important as Li Yuntian promotes local economic development and ethnic integration.

In addition to the six political envoys, Jiangwutang also has three major military regions under the jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty, with the strongest forces in the Ming Dynasty, which are the Southwest Military Region, the Liaodong Military Region and the Northern Military Region.

When Li Yuntian merged the Liaodong Metropolitan Division, the Daning Metropolitan Division, and the Nuer Gandu Division into the Liaodong Military Region, and the Shanxi Xingdu Division, the Mongolian Metropolitan Division, and the Wanquan Metropolitan Division into the Northern Military Region, he also planned for the Jiaozhi Prefecture and the Guangxi Metropolitan Division, merging the two into the Southwest Military Region.

However, unlike the Liaodong Military Region and the Northern Military Region, although the Southwest Military Region has also reduced the size of its troops, the existing military households of the Xiaowu Army have all been retained, which is Li Yuntian's affirmation of the contributions made by those military households to the Ming Dynasty over the years, and it is also to deal with the complex surrounding environment.

The Liaodong Military Region and the Northern Military Region each have 100,000 troops, with the Liaodong Military Region being administered in Liaoyang City and the Northern Military Region being administered in Datong City, and their military attachés at all levels are selected from among those who have made meritorious contributions in the war with the Northern Yuan Dynasty; middle and low-ranking military attachés are sent to the military academies set up by the two military regions in batches to undergo rotational training, and senior military attaches are to participate in training in the Jiangwu Hall in the capital.

Among them, the strength of the Liaodong Zhuque Battalion of the Xiaowu Army and the Datong Qinglong Battalion of the Xiaowu Army was set at 50,000, which was half of the strength of the two military regions.

Although the strength of the Southwest Military Region is also 100,000, the strength of the Xiaowu Army's Jiaozhi White Tiger Battalion is also 100,000, and Li Yuntian believes that the probability of war breaking out on the Indochina Peninsula is much higher than that of the Liaodong Military Region and the Northern Military Region.

It is worth mentioning that the Liaodong Political Envoy Division includes the Daning Metropolitan Division's areas outside the customs and the Liaodong Metropolitan Division; The Nuer Ganbu Political Envoy Division is the territory of the Nuer Gandu Division; The Mongolian Diplomatic Envoys included the Hetao region and the Hala Horin region; The political envoy of Shanbei is the area between the inner Great Wall and the outer Great Wall, mainly the area of Shanxi Xingdu Division and Wanquan Capital Division.

It can be said that the strength of the Xiaowu Army under the direct control of Jiangwutang is as high as 200,000, and if you include the strength of the Southwest Military Region, Liaodong Military Region, and Northern Military Region, which are indirectly controlled, the total strength will be as high as 500,000.

The civil and military officials in the court all knew that the 500,000 troops related to the martial arts hall were the most powerful military force of the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty was not an opponent even if it concentrated the troops of other capitals, and the city wall that the capital was proud of was even more vulnerable in the face of the powerful firearms of the Xiaowu Army.

The most enviable and covetous thing for the military officials in the court is the overseas trade of Jiaozhi, which can bring huge tariffs every time, because those tariffs are divided by Emperor Xuande's inner treasury and Jiangwutang, which makes them helpless, and there is nothing they can do for a while, they can only watch those white tariffs flow into the inner treasury and Jiangwutang.

It was precisely because of the strong military or financial strength of the martial arts that Fang Liang succeeded in provoking it, so that Emperor Xuande began to be suspicious of Li Yuntian, and then worried that Li Yuntian would become an indispensable minister of the Ming Dynasty, so he made up his mind to kill Li Yuntian.

Seeing that Emperor Xuande's face was getting more and more ugly, Jin Ying and Wang Jin quietly glanced at each other, and then quickly looked away and stood quietly.

This official document came from the hand of Jin Ying, as a personal attendant who has followed Emperor Xuande since childhood, Jin Ying knows Emperor Xuande very well and knows how to touch Emperor Xuande.

Therefore, in that official document, Jin Ying not only told the various forces in the court of Emperor Xuande that they had begun to fight openly and secretly for the rights and interests of the crown prince after he ascended the throne, but also involved the interests of the royal family.

The so-called royal interests naturally refer to the profits from Jiaozhi's overseas trade, and this money has filled the treasury of the palace for an unprecedented time, so that Emperor Xuande can use the money to do more things without having to listen to the officials of the household department crying about poverty there.

In that official document, Jin Ying quietly revealed that all the forces in the imperial court wanted to collect the profits from Jiaozhi's overseas trade into the treasury of the Ministry of Households, and that both the civil official group and the Xungui group wanted to get a piece of the pie according to a certain percentage, after all, not only the six ministries and the local yamen needed the imperial court's appropriation, but also the governors and local prefectures also needed military spending.

Emperor Xuande was very annoyed by this, in fact, he had long thought that the civil officials and nobles in the imperial court would not sit idly by and watch the overseas trade tariffs of Jiaozhi be handed over to the inner treasury and the martial arts hall after his death, so he already wanted to compromise and give a share to the national treasury.

However, now it seems that those important officials of the imperial court have a great appetite and want to swallow all the tariffs of Jiaozhi's overseas trade, which Emperor Xuande cannot tolerate.

Emperor Xuande knew that after its death, even Yang Shiqi and Jian Yi would not be able to prevent the military officials in the court from asking for overseas trade tariffs, because this involved the vital interests of the nobles of the civil ministers, and the two of them were powerless even if they wanted to stop it.

What's more, Jian Yi is a well-known good man in the court, and he is getting older and his health is getting worse and worse, so I am afraid that he has no energy to dwell on this matter.

Although Yang Shiqi is the first assistant of the cabinet, he is a member of the civil servants after all, and once he violates the interests of the civil officials, the gains outweigh the losses, and he will inevitably be encouraged at that time.

As for the martial arts, not to mention, the martial arts hall is a martial arts yamen, although there are also several nobles, but the highest title is only the prince of Xiaoguo, Wang Jian, and Wang Jian is a newly promoted nobleman in recent years, and he used to be just an earl, so neither qualifications nor prestige can compete with the governors of the major metropolitan governors, let alone face those sharp-tongued civil officials in the court.

It can be said that Emperor Xuande could already predict that after his death, the tax revenue of Jiaozhi's overseas trade would be collected into the national treasury, after all, this money involved commercial matters in various places, and it was not a tributary trade led by the imperial court, so it was naturally more reasonable to collect it into the national treasury.

"I'm tired!" After reading the official document, Emperor Xuande suddenly seemed to have aged a lot, and he coughed and lay on the warm couch.

Seeing this, Jin Ying hurriedly covered Emperor Xuande with a brocade quilt, and then bowed down and retreated with Wang Jin, and several palace maids and chamberlains came in lightly to serve.

"Lord Steward, the emperor doesn't seem to be touched by that official document, if he doesn't issue an edict to stop the afternoon court trial, then it will be difficult for the Duke of Zhenguo to get out of the musket case." A light snow drifted in the gloomy sky, Jin Ying and Wang Jin walked to the side hall after leaving the Dongnuan Pavilion, and Wang Jin said to Jin Ying worriedly in a secluded place.

"The emperor's heart has already made waves, and I believe that something will happen soon." Jin Ying pondered for a while, and said with a stern expression, he knew that this matter could not be rushed, and it had to be carried out naturally, so as not to be seen by Emperor Xuande, and the result would be terrible.

"I hope so." Wang Jin sighed worriedly when he heard this, and couldn't help but look up in the direction of the Gyeonggi Governor's Mansion, and then entered the side hall with Jin Ying to rest.

Once those forged records were made public in court, Li Yuntian would be speechless, and Li Yuntian could be punished for the crime of deceiving the monarch just because those records did not match.

"The chief manager, the deputy chief manager, the emperor asked Deputy General Manager Xuan Yang to meet him." More than half an hour later, when Jin Ying and Wang Jin were anxiously waiting in the side hall, a small chamberlain hurriedly walked in and bowed down to say.

Hearing this, Jin Ying and Wang Jin immediately breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that Emperor Xuande had indeed been touched by that official document, so they wanted to find Yang Qing for verification.

Because Yang Qing was in charge of the Imperial Horse Supervisor managed the grassland and the imperial village, and operated the imperial store, so there were also some eyes and ears in the north and south and all over the country, and it was the second line of defense used by Emperor Xuande to monitor the civil and military officials of the imperial court, and the first line of defense was naturally composed of Jinyiwei and Dongchang.

Although the quantity and quality of the information of the Imperial Horse Prison were not as good as those of Jinyiwei and Dongchang, it was a good supplement to Emperor Xuande, helping him accurately analyze the current situation in the court, and it was also a kind of surveillance of Jinyiwei and Dongchang.

It is precisely because of this that the Imperial Horse Supervisor can stand out among the 24 yamen of the inner court and compete with the celebrant and the celebrant of the court.

Moreover, Emperor Xuande also trusted Yang Qing very much, although Yang Qing did not get the edict of exemption from death like Jin Ying, Wang Jin and Fan Hong, but he was awarded two silver medals by Emperor Xuande of "loyalty and self-encouragement" and "heart and double clear".

In fact, according to Emperor Xuande's favor to Yang Qing, Yang Qing should also receive the edict of exemption from death, but unfortunately he committed a crime during the Xuande period, which made Emperor Xuande finally dispel the idea of giving him the edict of exemption from death.

From the early years of Emperor Xuande, Emperor Xuande began to give Yang Qing military power, which shows the trust in him, when Emperor Xuande led the army to patrol the border in the third year of Xuande, when he returned to the division, Yang Qing and a noble jointly led the army to break off, creating a precedent in the history of the Ming Dynasty that eunuchs were in charge of the army, and before it was at most a supervising army.

In August of the fourth year of Xuande, Emperor Xuande ordered Yang Qing to lead the Shenji Battalion to Jizhou, Yongping, Shanhaiguan and other places to defend with the general soldier Chen Jingxian, and asked him to discuss with Chen Jingxian, but he did not ask him to obey Chen Jingxian's command and transfer, so that Yang Qing and Chen Jingxian were in the same position.

In the face of Yang Qing, a eunuch who won the favor of Emperor Xuande, some ministers of the imperial court curry favor in private, for example, Wu Zhong, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, once gave Yang Qing a very grand residence with the stone and wood of the Ministry of Industry's treasury, and Emperor Xuande couldn't help but be furious when he learned of this and sent Wu Zhong to prison for punishment, Wu Zhong stayed in the edict for a year before coming out, but Yang Qing was unscathed.
