Chongzhen: I am the king of prosperous times

Chapter 171 Inner Court Earthquake (2)

In a sense, Emperor Chongzhen was the biggest landlord in Ming Dynasty, and the huge group of eunuchs in the inner court were the servants of Emperor Chongzhen.

As a special group of feudal dynasties, eunuchs are the most criticized category. Gender has become their taboo. The more realistic living environment has created their distorted and complex personalities, as well as their special obsession with money.

However, for Emperor Chongzhen, how to drive the eunuch group in the inner court to make them an extension of the imperial power and one of his forces to check and balance the court is what he has to do.

With the encouragement and support of Emperor Chongzhen, and the expectation of Emperor Chongzhen, Wang Chengen and Fang Zhenghua left the Military Aircraft Department with high spirits.

Under the current complicated situation, we are going to show the world the iron fists of Xichang and Neichang. Thanks to Wu Xie, who survived the battlefield, the framework built by Wang Chengen and Fang Zhenghua can be operated at the fastest speed. .

"Our family and Eunuch Fang, we have summoned you here this time to announce something important." Wang Chengen looked fierce, looking at the more than ten eunuchs of Xichang and Neichang who were standing in front of him in python robes and flying fish suits, his words were revealing. With a sense of majesty, he said: "The current position you have now depends entirely on the favor of the emperor. Xijishi Factory and Dainaihang Factory were founded with a mission. The emperor ordered..."

"Listen to the oracle!"

Headed by Zheng Zhong, the eunuchs of Xichang and Neichang all bowed down and shouted in unison.

"...The emperor's lord said that under the jurisdiction of the inner court, there is a house thief, Shuoshu. He doesn't want to be loyal to the emperor, but he fills his own pockets, corrupts the law, corrupts the power of heaven among the people, bullies the people, and insults the prestige of the emperor. , specially ordered the Xijishi Factory and the Big Expert Factory to conduct a review of all the Huangzhuang, catch the thieves and rats, and no matter who is involved, they will be severely punished!"

"Follow the order!"

In this small office, the high-level executives of the West Factory and the Inner Factory understood what they were going to do, and Fang Zhenghua, who was beside him, walked forward slowly.

Now that the righteousness of becoming a monk and thief has been established, the next thing Fang Zhenghua has to do is to distribute the plans discussed and formulated with Wang Chengen one by one.

Northern Zhili governs the lower eight prefectures, and each prefectural subordinate examines and handles the errands of Huangzhuang. The West Factory and the Inner Factory will specifically appoint a high-level executive to take charge of all the affairs of the prefecture. Which eunuch in charge was punished.

More than [-] eunuchs from the West Factory and the Inner Factory will show their cold knives at the Huangzhuang under the jurisdiction of the inner court under this clear action system.

"Eunuch Fang, since the errands have been clarified, let's act immediately." Wang Chengen looked at Fang Zhenghua with a serious expression and said, "End this matter as soon as possible, so that there will be less trouble. The emperor attaches great importance to this matter. Any questions, we have to send more people to contact."

Fang Zhenghua nodded and said: "Eunuch Wang is right, there is no need to delay, our family will immediately lead a team to Zhending Mansion to ensure that there will be no accidents."

As the leaders of the newly established West Factory and the Inner Factory, this joint operation against the Inner Court Huangzhuang cannot be successfully completed if their thinking cannot be unified.

Fortunately, when appointing them, Emperor Chongzhen took this into consideration. Fang Zhenghua and Wang Chengen were the loyal ones. After Emperor Chongzhen made his will clear, they dared not have any internal friction.

"Admiral Sun, something has happened!"

Li Mingzhong hurried to the Admiral's Office of the Nine Gates of Linshu. After seeing Sun Zushou, he clasped his fists and said, "According to reports from the guards at Chaoyang Gate, Dongbian Gate, and Guangqu Gate, a large number of eunuchs were dispatched from the inner court. The door left Beijing."

"Is there such a thing?"

When Sun Zushou heard this, he frowned slightly and said, "Then the eunuchs who lead the team, can they have the inner court's hand letter, and ask them about their whereabouts?"

As the admiral of the nine gates appointed by Emperor Chongzhen, Sun Zushou was in charge of the defense of the capital. Now that his Zhongyong Army had just taken over the defense of the capital, and this incident happened, he must be vigilant.

"There is a letter from the inner court."

Li Mingzhong nodded and said: "However, when interrogating them and their whereabouts, the eunuchs who led the inner court all said that they were acting according to the emperor's orders, so it is inconvenient to disclose.

On the other side of Chaoyang Gate and Yongding Gate, it was specifically stated that the leading eunuchs who left Beijing through them were Wang Chengen, the eunuch who was in charge of the official seal, and Fang Zhenghua, the eunuch who was in charge of the imperial horse supervisor. "

Hearing this, Sun Zushou fell into deep thought, and told him intuitively that these inner court eunuchs who left the capital must have important matters to deal with, but he didn't know what the specific matters were.

"Since you have obeyed the emperor's oral order, then you don't need to pay any more attention to it." Sun Zushou frowned and said, "This admiral will write a memorial and submit it to the emperor.

By the way, the order of the various gates in the capital has been established, and the redundant soldiers of the loyal and brave army will be ordered by the admiral to move to Fengtai and build a camp. "

"Here!"

When Emperor Chongzhen was busy dealing with various matters at the Military Aircraft Department, Sun Zushou, who was appointed as the admiral of the Nine Gates, was also not idle.

After two days of management, the original soldiers and horses guarding the various gates selected a group of soldiers who could be reused, and the rest were sent back to their original places.

Originally, Sun Zushou had already written the corresponding memorial and was going to submit it to Emperor Chongzhen, but this incident happened again unexpectedly, which made him have to write another memorial.

Wang Chengen and Fang Zhenghua led a group of eunuchs from the Inner Factory and the Western Factory to leave the capital and go to the prefectures under the rule of Beizhili to investigate the matter of Huangzhuang. With such a big fanfare, it will definitely cause quite a stir in the current capital. .

Emperor Chongzhen, who had Pang Tianshou report the matter, had a helpless smile on the corner of his mouth when he knew about it, but he secretly said in his heart: "After all, I'm still a little impatient. Leaving Beijing with such a big fanfare will inevitably affect the current situation. some unwanted effects.

But it can be forgiven, after all, it is the first time to handle such a major event, after the matter is over, it is enough to beat them again. '

Thinking of the Emperor Chongzhen here, he smiled and shook his head, and then continued to get busy. Right now, all the errands assigned to him by the Military Aircraft Department have taken shape, and the things that should be done must be done as soon as possible.

After the end of the post-war award, the case of Yuan Chonghuan will be able to take advantage of the situation.

Looking at the busy Emperor Chongzhen at his desk and Pang Tianshou who was waiting beside him, he wondered anxiously what Wang Chengen and Fang Zhenghua were doing when they left Beijing with such great fanfare and took away so many eunuchs from the inner court.

At this moment, not only Pang Tianshou is thinking about this matter, but also the group of eunuchs in the inner court headed by Cao Huachun is also thinking about this matter, after all, there are too many strange things in it.
