Daming Crazy Emperor

Chapter 7 Ruthless
Dongchang, referred to as Dongchang, was founded in the 18th year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty. It was a well-known privileged supervision agency and secret service agency in the Ming Dynasty.

The original purpose of Ming Chengzu's establishment of Dongchang was mainly to suppress the forces of the ruling and opposition against him. After all, the Jianwen Dynasty, which he overthrew by force in the Battle of Jingnan, was the orthodox of the Ming Dynasty. .

As for the authority of Dongchang to supervise Jinyiwei, it was not that big at the beginning, and this supervision did not equal to rule. During the Yongle Dynasty, Dongchang and Jinyiwei were still on the same level.

However, after the emergence of powerful eunuchs such as Wang Zhen, Liu Jin, and Feng Bao, the authority of Dongchang gradually increased, and gradually became an existence that overwhelmed Jin Yiwei. In the hands of Wei Zhongxian, the eunuch's dictatorship was even more reached. At the peak, he is Jin Yiwei's father, and Tian Ergeng, the commander of Jin Yiwei, is his godson.

Of course, Wei Zhongxian has just been appointed as the Admiral of the East Factory at the moment, and it seems a little difficult for him to take over the East Factory smoothly, because the current Admiral Lu Shou of the East Factory is a popular man in front of the late Emperor Wanli. The harem was one of the best eunuchs, second only to Zheng Guifei and Xi Li in power.

Would such a person willingly surrender the power in his hands?
When Wei Zhongxian took over the imperial decree, it could be said that there were mixed joys and sorrows. Of course, the Admiral of Dongchang could not get what he wanted. The problem was that he could not win this position with his current strength!
If he foolishly takes the imperial edict to take over, it is likely that there will be an "accident", and Lu Shou's goods are not a good thing.

Seeing Wei Zhongxian's hesitant expression, Tai Chang couldn't help but smile in his heart, of course he knew that Wei Zhongxian couldn't handle Lu Shou at this moment.

He pretended to be curious: "What's the matter, Wei Aiqing."

Hearing this, Wei Zhongxian said embarrassedly: "This, Your Majesty, Lu Shou has enormous power, and he has the support of a noble concubine. It's probably very difficult for him to hand over the position of Admiral of Dongchang!"

Hey, this guy really has some brains.

However, even if you are a villain, you have to drink my foot-washing water.

Tai Chang smiled secretly in his heart, but on the surface he pretended to frown and said, "So, what do you say?"

Wei Zhongxian thought about it carefully, and then said cautiously: "Your Majesty, the East Factory's job is mainly in the Inner Police Factory. We only need to bring hundreds of brocade guards, surround the yamen of the Inner Police Factory, and then bring dozens of experts in to announce the decree, together with the admirals, foremen, foremen, secretary and other eunuchs in charge of the Inner Police Factory, as well as those in charge of thousands of households and justices. The penalty for hundreds of households and so on is completely exempted, and it is almost the same to replace them with their own people. At that time, the foreign police factory, Chou Yin Maochen, has not applied for the twelve big stalls of Youxuhai and their thousands of people, and they will use them when they are ordered. It doesn't take much to take it down or cut it off if you obey the order."

You haven't even been in power yet, so you want to install a trusted friend!
Let me see how many cronies you have now.

Taichang nodded slightly and said, "Well, why don't you also change the twelve major gear heads of the Foreign Investigation Factory, to save the trouble, do you have a suitable person under your command?"

At this moment, Wei Zhongxian really doesn't have many cronies. He thought about it carefully, and then said with regret: "The supervisor, the foreman, the secretary, etc., the eunuchs and slaves at all levels in the internal investigation factory can find someone to replace them. However, the slaves do not know so many thousands of Jinyiwei households and hundreds of households, and they really don't know how to arrange it. By the way, Your Majesty, what do you think of Fu Yingxing, the general banner? "

Dongchang's thousands of prisoners, hundreds of prisoners, and big stalls, including their subordinates, are actually all recruited from Jinyiwei, and big stalls are equivalent to one hundred Jinyiwei households.

Fu Yingxing is Wei Zhongxian's nephew, of course Taichang knows this in his heart. He wants Wei Zhongxian to be cronyism and unscrupulous, and he naturally won't point it out.

However, this punishment for Qianhu is the dog chain in his hands, and he can't let Wei Zhongxian's nephew take the lead.

Taichang pretended to frown and thought for a while, and then slowly said: "There are only one hundred households when the general flag is raised one level. Fu Yingxing should be the one who punishes one hundred households. As for other candidates..."

He pretended to raise his head and glanced at it casually, and then he called by name: "Wu Mengming, you go to pick twelve hundred households, and then summon your subordinate Jin Yiwei, and follow Wei Aiqing to take over the internal investigation factory."

Wu Mengming cupped his hands without hesitation and said, "Wei ministers follow the order."

After he finished speaking, he respectfully turned around and hurried out.

Here, Wang Ancai prepared the imperial decree to dismiss the officials of the Neijingshi Factory, and Wu Mengming walked in quickly, and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, everything is ready."

Taichang nodded slightly, handed the imperial edict to Wei Zhongxian, and then patted his shoulder kindly and said, "Wei Aiqing, I'll leave everything to you, let's go."

The mad dog is finally out!
Wei Zhongxian is so excited. Originally, he made the wrong bet.

Unexpectedly, he could still be a blessing in disguise and be promoted to Admiral of Dongchang!

This time, we have to do things neatly and let the emperor see the ability of the miscellaneous family.

He immediately resigned from Taichang with great gratitude, and brought Wu Mengming to the square outside the hall. He summoned a few of his cronies, and ordered twelve hundred households and thousands of Jinyiwei. The big gangsters arrogantly went to the yamen of the internal investigation factory.

The yamen of the Neiji Affairs Factory was just outside the Donghua Gate of the imperial palace, less than a mile away from the Qianqing Palace. Thousands of Jin Yiwei swarmed out from the Donghua Gate, and they soon surrounded the yamen of the Neijisu Factory.

How could Lu Shou expect the retribution to come so quickly, he had just accompanied Zheng Guifei to the Qianqing Palace to have a theory with the emperor. It was less than a quarter of an hour after he came back, and his buttocks were still hot. surrounded.

Jin Yiwei actually dared to surround the yamen of the Neiji Incident Factory, which turned the sky upside down!
The East Factory is in charge of Jin Yiwei. Usually when Jin Yiwei sees the East Factory's fans, he has to hide away, not to mention that he, the Admiral of the East Factory, is in charge of the factory's yamen.

When Lu Shou received the news, he walked out angrily with a few cronies.

Before he reached the gate, there was a burst of chants from outside: "The imperial decree is here, and Lu Shouji and the officials of the Internal Police Department will accept the order."

Holy decree?

Can you take it?

He froze subconsciously.

Logically speaking, he does not need to pick up.

He has the backing of Concubine Zheng Gui, and the imperial edict of the little emperor is nothing!

However, when he saw the battle of the decree, he did not dare not to accept it.

Because this guy Li Jinzhong actually took hundreds of Jinyiwei guards, held the imperial edict high, and rushed in aggressively.

This guy Li Jinzhong is notoriously vicious, and hundreds of Jinyiwei can't do it with the help of thirty or so people in the internal investigation factory. If he dares not to accept the order, Li Jinzhong will probably do it!

In desperation, he had no choice but to kneel on the ground obediently with the officials of the Neiji Affairs Factory to receive the order.

Wei Zhongxian snorted proudly, and then he recruited Li Yongzhen, a trusted confidant beside him, and shoved the imperial edict into his hands.

No way, he can't read!
Li Yongzhen respectfully accepted the imperial decree and unfolded it as a single thought.

The general meaning of this imperial decree is that Lu Shou, the superintendent of the Bingbi East Factory, and the other officials of the Nei Ji Shi Factory colluded with Concubine Zheng Gui, and all of them were dismissed and investigated!

If someone else came, Lu Shou might have resisted, but in front of Li Jinzhong, a ruthless man, he really didn't dare. in the classroom.

Wei Zhongxian has no time to take care of these guys now, because the emperor has not yet done what the emperor has told him.

He walked directly into the yamen lobby of the Neiji Incident Factory, took the main seat, picked up the gavel on the koan and slapped it hard, and then said loudly, "Shengtang, Wu Mengming will bring someone to escort Cui Wensheng over."

Cui Wensheng just slowed down a little now, but Jin Yiwei didn't expect to bring him out again.

To be honest, he was really scared at this moment, because the imperial concubine had already made it clear that he would leave him to the emperor to vent his anger. Who knows if the emperor would accidentally kill him!

However, when he saw Li Jinzhong sitting above the court, he couldn't help showing a hint of surprise in his eyes.

He thought it was the emperor who was persuaded by Xi Li Niangniang, so he just sent Li Jinzhong to give it a try.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Li Jinzhong saw him, he picked up the gavel and slapped it hard, and said sternly, "Cui Wensheng, are you recruiting?"

Don't you know what I'm doing, what we've done?

Cui Wensheng couldn't help being stunned, he really didn't understand what Li Jinzhong was smoking.

Everyone is their own people, you let me recruit, you are not dead!
He was in a daze when Wei Zhongxian roared, "You're not recruiting, are you, come here, use the torture tool!"

Soon, Fu Yingxing, a family of torturers, came over with a group of executioners and a bunch of torture tools.

To be honest, the torture tools in Dongchang are really scary, what clips, what is inserted, what is cut, what is cut, what is branded, etc. These are not like torture tools for interrogators, but like It's an autopsy guy!
If these things are used on living people, it will definitely make people feel unbearable.

Seeing this posture, Cui Wensheng couldn't help but panic and said, "Li Jinzhong, what do you want to do?"

Wei Zhongxian angrily said, "The Zajia is called Wei Zhongxian but not Li Jinzhong. Don't talk nonsense here. The Zajia will ask you one last time, are you recruiting?"

Are you sick? Can I make it easier if I recruit you?

Cui Wensheng is inexplicable, he really doesn't know what Wei Zhongxian wants to do.

Wei Zhongxian said without hesitation, "Sentence!"

"what!"

Cui Wensheng screamed, and a fingernail had already left him.

He couldn't help but yelled: "Li Jinzhong, you're sick! You have a share in this too. Everyone who is recruited will be slashed with a thousand cuts. Don't force me!"

Wei Zhongxian said slyly: "Oh, I still want to climb up the miscellaneous family and replace him with a more powerful one!"

"what!"

Next, there were endless screams in the lobby. Wei Zhongxian ordered people to use all the torture tools on Cui Wensheng. Cui Wensheng was so miserable. In less than an hour, he was tortured to the point of death.

Many people in the lobby couldn't bear to look directly, but Wei Zhongxian didn't even blink his eyes, as if it was an animal, not a human being, who was being tortured in front of him.

This guy is too ruthless. Yesterday he called him a brother, but today he treats him as a human being. How can this be forced to confess? This is simply torturing people to death!
Wei Zhongxian was indeed killing people. Cui Wensheng was dying. He still didn't order to stop. In less than two hours, Cui Wensheng was killed alive by him.

He took his breath and made sure that Cui Wensheng was really dead, and then he walked to Li Yongzhen who was recording the confession, picked up the confession he just recorded, smashed it into a ball, threw it aside, and immediately Coldly said: "The confession should be written like this."

Just like a storyteller, he unhurriedly said the confession he had thought up in advance.

The people in the lobby listened to it, their eyes widened and their faces filled with shock.

What did Wei Zhongxian say?

The general meaning of what he said was that Concubine Zheng and Li Xuanshi colluded with the Qi, Chu and Zhejiang Party to try to usurp the throne and murder the emperor!
Is this guy crazy?

Li Xuanshi was his original master, and he sold it without hesitation.

Concubine Zheng Gui was the most favored concubine of the late emperor, and he actually wanted to kill others.

What other Qi, Chu and Zhejiang party, they have provoked you to provoke you?
If this confession is taken out, how many people will fall to the ground!

Wei Zhongxian doesn't care so much. In order to gain power, he will do anything. Zheng Guifei, Li Xuanshi, and the Qi Chu and Zhejiang Party are none of his business. It doesn't matter if they all die!
He picked up the written confession and blew it, then walked over to Cui Wensheng's corpse, picked up Cui Wensheng's left hand, and placed a big handprint on the testimony against the blood on the ground.
