The Eunuch's Hand Covers the Sky

Chapter 138 Inexplicable Provocation

The emperor saw that Wang Shitu agreed.That was a joy.Nodding his head, he continued: "Where is Zhao Guiying?" The minister is here." "I ordered you to be the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and also a scholar of the Wenhua Pavilion. You will know the political affairs." "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Ni Geng!" "The minister is here." "I order you to be the Minister of the Household Department and also a scholar of the Wuying Pavilion." "Thank you for your kindness." "Fang Haibo!" "The minister is here." "I order you to be the Wenyuan Pavilion University scholar, and Minister of the Ministry of War." "The minister leads the decree." "Where is Song Shiqian?" "The minister is here." "I order you to be the Dongge University scholar, and you will be promoted to the Yushi of Youdu." "Thank you."

A large number of eloquent names were mentioned by the emperor one by one.They are all placed in dangerous positions everywhere.Most of them were former princes.All of a sudden, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty dare not refuse.Everyone is smiling.

Wang Zhen has a secret in his heart.Ignore those kittens and shrimps.Just looking at the candidates arranged by the emperor has some problems.Ni Geng is now the Secretary of the Household Department, but Wang Zhen has checked in Dongchang's files.This person was once a disciple of Chief Assistant Shen Congwen.Although the two are about the same age.But it is a genuine master-student relationship.And that Fang Haibo had a long career with Wang.Fang Haibo himself was born in Henan.It is impossible to say that the two knew each other before.

From this point of view, the emperor made it clear that it was a strategy of checks and balances.But what worried Wang Zhen the most was Zuo Zhiqiu's appointment.Minister of the Ministry of officials.An official of the second rank.Zuo Zhiqiu has always been on good terms with him, and used to take good care of him.Contact the arrangement of the two people before. . .

Could it be that the emperor is also wary of himself?Thinking about it carefully, these three people are six ministers, but they are also cabinet bachelors.Doesn't that make the cabinet discord and intrigue?This is exactly the meaning of the emperor's check and balance!Not only Wang Zhen thought so, even Shen Congwen, the chief assistant of the grand master, and Wang Shitu, the grand master, thought so too.But they looked at Wang Zhen in unison in their hearts, revealing a trace of sarcasm!
Naturally, Wang Zhen saw it and narrowed his eyes.Those who are familiar with Wang Zhen will know that this is a sign of his murderous intentions.But at this moment, the majesty's strong voice came over: "Where is Wang Zhen!" The little Wang Zhen couldn't help sighing and said: "Aiqing has saved my life many times. He also saved the lives of all the civil and military officials present. The escort has made meritorious service. I feel very sorry... It's a pity that you are an eunuch... that's all. .”

The emperor calmed down his expression, and said loudly: "Wang Zhen! I ordered you to be the eunuch in charge of the court. Add the crown prince, Taibao and Zuodu censor. Take Dongchang!" When the emperor said this, the room was really full All surprised!Even Wang Zhen looked up at the emperor in disbelief.

The eunuch who is the supervisor of ceremonies.That is, the emperor stood by and waited on him when he was correcting the memorial.In addition to being able to see the emperor more, it is also a dispensable position.But the crown prince Taibao is a bit formidable.This is the preparatory duty to protect the prince's safety, it seems like a mere bodyguard.But it is the prince's confidant.In the future, the future of the prince succeeding to the throne is limitless!The rest is nothing.It is the eunuch's practice to withdraw the East Factory.Although Zuodu Yushi has the right to impeach officials.But this is just offending people for no reason.

Not much use actually.Speaking of it, the Prince Taibao is too scary.Then Shen Congwen was the first to stand up and object: "Your Majesty, the crown prince's protection is extremely important. It affects the successor of the emperor! How can an eunuch take on this important task? It's a bit of a joke." Wang Shitu insisted on beating the dog in the water, and immediately echoed: "The grand master What you said is reasonable. I beg your majesty to take it back!" Civil and military officials do not want a eunuch to gain power.They all knelt down and shouted: "Please take back your order, Your Majesty!"

The emperor's face turned ashen.He shouted angrily: "If the Son of Heaven speaks, how can he take it back? Are you really going to commit the crime of lack of integrity?" Wang Zhen knelt on the ground and his mind turned.It is of course a great reward to be able to become the crown prince.But it was unnecessary to provoke civil and military officials.Established countless powerful enemies.But it is unwise.As the saying goes, retreat is the way to advance, Wang Zhen immediately replied: "What the officials said is reasonable. How can the lower official, He De, take on this important task? The crown prince and the Taibao have broken the lower official. Please take back your order."

As soon as these words were said, all the civil and military officials were moved.It's hard to see that Wang Zhen is a person who doesn't care about fame and fortune.On weekdays, he underestimated him.And some knowledgeable people, such as Wang Shitu, who know Wang Zhen's personality.But in my heart I am deeply impressed.To be able to endure such an opportunity to ascend to the sky in one step.It can also be said to be a character.Shen Congwen was also full of surprise, this Wang Zhen could endure such a temptation.Sure enough, he is a strange person.

The emperor's face was livid, and when he saw Wang Zhen, he begged him to take it back.I can't help but hesitate in my heart, am I being too abrupt?But at this moment, the empress dowager next to her said in a low voice: "Your majesty, who is ninety-five years old, is sometimes negligent. You should be open to suggestions. You should not be arbitrary. You are a wise king." The emperor nodded, but in his heart It's a little uncomfortable.It's all said before, where is my face going?

Shen Congwen is ashamed that Jiang is still old and hot. Xu knew the emperor's thoughts, and immediately said: "Emperor Jinkou, of course he can't take back his life. If it's not like Wang Zhen, the prince and the prince will be suppressed for the time being. When the prince decides, the prince will choose him personally. Wouldn't it be more secure? It also seems that the emperor is aware of the details." When I saw a step, I had to go down.The emperor immediately looked at Shen Congwen with relief and said, "So, let's do as the chief assistant of the grand master said. Wang Zhen, do you have other intentions?"

"Naturally, the lower officials don't have any other intentions. Everything should be done according to the emperor's instructions." After rewarding those who have meritorious service, the emperor will naturally get rid of a group of people.One by one, they called out officials who had been neutral and vacillating, and people from other parties.At least dismissal from office, at worst exile and beheading.Not long after, time consciousness passed for a long time.The early dynasty also broke up amidst Wang Zhen's cry: "retire from the dynasty".

In the palace, Wang Zhen is rushing back to the mansion.Meet a few confidantes.It's good to have a discussion.There was a person walking towards him, but it was Zhao Guiying, who was dressed in a beast helmet and scale armor, and was very heroic.Wang Zhen was taken aback for a moment, and immediately bowed and said flatteringly, "Where is General Zhao going?"

The handsome Zhao Guiying looked sideways at Wang Zhen, snorted and said with disdain: "You mere eunuch, do you really think you can reach the sky in one step?" After saying that, she patted Wang Zhen's head and said sarcastically, "Keep your eyes open!" Duty, this general has been staring at you all the time. No animal! Hahahaha!" After saying that, he walked away, leaving Wang Zhen standing there with a smile on his face and narrowed eyes.
