Paper Maker: This is the end of the Ming Dynasty in Liaozhai

Chapter 80 The aftermath of party struggle

The main duty of the Jinyiwei in the capital city is different from that of the local Jinyiwei. The main duty of the Jinyiwei in the capital city is to supervise officials, and suppressing evil spirits and rebellious warriors is only a part-time job.

Luo's house, the residence of Luo Sigong, commander of Jinyiwei, today's Luo's house ushered in an unexpected person.

"Eunuch Zhou?"

Looking at Zhou Zhuming, Luo Sigong had a strange look on his face. As the commander of Jinyiwei, he knew all the important people in the palaces well, so he naturally knew Zhou Zhuming, the chief internal affairs officer of Prince Zheng's residence.

"Commander Luo really has an excellent memory, even the little guy like Lao Nu remembers it."

Zhou Zhuming smiled.

"Eunuch Zhou seems to have come to the wrong place?"

Luo Sigong said calmly, as the commander of Jinyiwei, it is a taboo to contact the envoys of the vassal princes in private.

Seeing Luo Sigong's attitude, Zhou Zhuming smiled wryly and said: "Commander Luo, the old slave did not go wrong, this time I am asking for something."

As the Chief Internal Affairs Officer of Prince Zheng's Mansion, he shouldn't have come to visit Luo Sigong, but he had to come this time. Zuo Yifeng made it clear that he wanted to make things worse. If they go to the court, Zheng Wangfu will definitely be punished, and if there is too much trouble, they may even be deprived of their limited power.

"Eunuch Zhou, Luo is already in trouble now, and I'm afraid he can't help you."

Hearing this, Luo Sigong shook his head, he is now a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, and he cannot protect himself. In the current court, the Donglin Party is gaining momentum. Party backbone members Zou Yuanbiao, Zhao Nanxing, Wang Ji, Gao Panlong and others all hold high positions, while Zuo Guangdou, Wei Dazhong, Huang Zunsu and others are all in Kedao and control the court.

It's just that the Donglin Party is extremely xenophobic and denounces officials from non-Donglin Party Zhejiang Party, Qi Party, Chu Party, Xuan Party and many other parties as evil parties. After being expelled from the court, officials from various parties without a backbone joined Wei Zhongxian one after another.

And Wei Zhongxian has been the most popular person in the entire capital since he became a pair with the Hakka family and was promoted to the eunuch of the ceremonial supervisor Bingbi.

Now that the conflict between the Eunuch Party and the Donglin Party is becoming more and more fierce, Wei Zhongxian has been hinting that he will take refuge, but as the commander of Jinyiwei, Luo Sigong is very clear that the world today is dominated by literati, and even the imperial power cannot compete with the civil servants in the world, otherwise Emperor Wanli would not As for being forced to hide in the harem.

A mere Wei Zhongxian is just the boss pushed to the front by officials from the Zhejiang Party, Qi Party, Chu Party, Xuan Party and other parties. With so many officials supporting him, Wei Zhongxian is the leader of the Eunuch Party. Without the support of these officials, Wei Zhongxian is just a eunuch That's all.

Even if the Donglin Party is really defeated in a real fight, Wei Zhongxian will not end well. Sooner or later, he will be abandoned by these officials, and it is only a dead end to seek refuge in the Eunuch Party.

"What does Commander Luo mean by this?"

Zhou Zhuming didn't expect Luo Sigong to answer like this, so he was stunned for a moment.

Seeing that Zhou Zhuming still didn't know good from bad, Luo Sigong wanted to chase him away, but thinking that Zhou Zhuming represented King Zheng, Luo Sigong still said coldly: "Wei Zhongxian!"

"Commander Luo is talking about Li Jinzhong?"

Hearing Luo Sigong's words, Zhou Zhuming couldn't help hesitating.

"Eunuch Zhou also knows Wei Zhongxian?"

Hearing this, Luo Sigong couldn't help being a little surprised. Wei Zhongxian's original surname was Wei, and since he was castrated into the palace, he changed his name to Li Jinzhong, but when he was called Li Jinzhong, he was not well-known. There are not many Li Jinzhong, and most of them are from the palace.

"Commander Luo, the old slave used to be under Wang Gonggong's command, and he has a good relationship with Wei Zhongxian."

A strange look flashed in Zhou Zhuming's eyes. It is a taboo for the feudal lord to investigate the government. As the chief internal affairs officer of the feudal lord, although he had heard that Wei Zhongxian was being favored now, he never expected to be able to push Luo Sigong to such an extent.

"In this case, Luo suggested that Eunuch Zhou go to Wei Zhongxian."

Hearing Zhou Zhuming's words, Luo Sigong was not too surprised, but calmly picked up the teacup and signaled to see off the guests. The royal family has extremely strict supervision over the vassal kings. In addition to serving the prince, he is also a supervisor.

...

In Kaifeng Mansion's Jinyiwei Yamen, in the mission hall, Su Hao and He Liu are choosing missions.

"Brother Six, Qianhu has brought up the matter more than a month ago, is there still no result?"

Looking at the mission card, Su Hao turned his head and asked, more than a month has passed since the incident in Prince Zheng's Mansion, Zuo Yifeng has already reported the incident, and escorted Liu Xing and others to Beijing. According to common sense, more than one month, should be enough for the court to determine rewards and punishments.

He has also been paying attention to this matter, but it is a pity that the circulation of news in ancient times is too slow, and not many people know about the affairs of the court, so he has no way to inquire about it.

"do not know."

Hearing this, He Liu shook his head: "The matter is related to the feudal lord, so it shouldn't be so fast."

Not so fast?

Hearing He Liu's words, Su Hao sighed slightly in his heart. It would be fine if it wasn't so fast. For more than a month, he has been collecting information from the court. It can be seen that the Donglin Party and the Eunuch Party have already fought quite fiercely. If this matter is involved in the party struggle, it will be troublesome.

At this time, Jiang Shizhong hurried in and said in a low voice, "Sixth Brother, Brother Su, Qianhu is looking for you."

Zuo Yifeng looking for the two of them?

Hearing this, Su Hao frowned, and a bad thought came to his mind. Could it be what he thought before?
But after thinking about it, Su Hao and He Liu kept rushing to the attic where Zuo Yifeng was. When they came to the attic, Su Hao unexpectedly discovered that the two Zuo Yi who had always been like two door gods Feng's bodyguards are nowhere to be found.

"You are here."

Seeing Su Hao and the other two coming in, Zuo Yifeng said indifferently: "The case of Prince Zheng's residence is over. The current king of Zheng, Zhu Zai, was demoted to a commoner and imprisoned in Fengyang. His eldest son Zhu Yizhong was bestowed to death. The eldest son Zhu Yiduo succeeded, the magistrate of Huaiqing was dismissed from office, and the Gaoqian household of Huaiqing was fined [-] meritorious service."

"how is this possible!"

Hearing this, the faces of Su Hao and He Liu changed drastically. They were not happy but surprised. Although nearly 2000 people died, they also knew that at most, Prince Zheng's mansion would be reprimanded and deprived of some power. Abandoned, the son bestowed death, this has far exceeded their imagination.

We must know that not many vassal kings were abolished, most of them were abolished because of conspiracy, and this time it was far less serious.
