Ming Dynasty fake eunuch

Chapter 232
Ye Xun finally left Beijing, accompanied by three female relatives, and five hundred personal guards. Although Ye Xun didn't like publicity very much, as an imperial envoy on behalf of Tian Xun, he still had to have some necessary ceremonial guards, and these The soldiers are also masters selected by the West Factory.

Ye Xun’s first stop was Datong. At first, Zhu Changluo also thought that Ye Xun’s first stop would be Jiangnan, but Ye Xun explained to him that there are many mines in Shanxi, and most of the questions about Mongolian and other tribes are distributed in the nine areas on the front line of Xuanda. side, so where to start governance investigation.

It sounds reasonable, but Ye Xun has a deeper meaning that he can't tell Zhu Changluo, that is what Ye Xun has been thinking about for a long time, the family property and business chain of the remaining seven traitors.

The country is short of money, and Ye Xun's family has no food left. How can we not let these traitors go bankrupt?

After knowing Ye Xun's whereabouts, the Jiangnan officials felt relieved. Although they had given Ye Xun a lot of money before, everyone knew that this dead eunuch was greedy. Taking the opportunity to make a fortune, how could he come back if he didn't make a fortune?

It's all right now, Ye Xun has gone to Xuanda University, it seems that the money he gave before has worked, and he can't tell how long it will take for him to come and go. If it works well, he might get him after a year After returning to Beijing, there is no need to harm Jiangnan anymore.

As soon as Ye Xun left the capital, there was a quarrel in the court hall, but this time it was not a party struggle, but a firefight within the Donglin Party itself.

Of course, the cause of the matter was Ye Xun's appointment as the eunuch acting as a hunting eunuch, but the devil knows how many private goods are mixed in this reason.

The radical faction headed by Zuo Guangdou and Yang Lian directly fired at Liu Yijing and Han Kuang, two great scholars, in the court hall, asking them why they turned their backs on their promises and agreed to the emperor's irresponsible appointment that violated the ancestral system?
This matter is a little hard to explain, because the day before, these two big bosses were firmly opposed to the emperor's decree, but the next day they ran to ask the emperor to issue this decree. What kind of behavior is this?It is a typical capricious and double-faced sword, which is too detrimental to the face of the Donglin Party members.

In the face of two aggressive radicals, Liu Yijing and Han Kuang didn't want to explain, firstly, they couldn't explain in front of the public, and secondly, there were some things they couldn't say.

It turned out that on the first day they went to find the emperor, they received an unsigned letter almost at the same time.

The letter directly stated that the emperor had begun to suspect the Donglin Party, and Ye Xun's tour was aimed at the Donglin Party, but they must facilitate this, because this is a good opportunity for them to re-establish their image in the emperor's heart, and they will also You can take this opportunity to overthrow Ye Xun and so on.

In fact, Liu Yijing and Han Kuang had already clearly felt that the emperor was deliberately alienating them recently, and he also openly supported Li Daiwen and others who opposed their Donglin party political views.

And the maritime business that Ye Xun brought up before really taught the Donglin party members a lesson.

It is an open secret that the court is short of money, and after Ye Xun got the silver, he sent it to the household department. If there is no shadow of the emperor, who would believe it!

The person who wrote this letter was very vocal and realistic. What made the two of them most determined to change their original intentions was that the letter clearly told them that they had already mastered the shady things they had done before, and even There is some privacy in their home and so on.

And as long as this matter is facilitated, they can continue to hide it for them.

The two old guys have been ups and downs in the court for many years, and neither of them is clean, so after receiving this letter, the two of them can be said to be shocked and terrified. Who is the person who wrote the letter?How could he know so much, and openly threaten the current cabinet minister, what exactly does he want to do?
In the middle of the night that day, two old guys with different plans sat together, but of course they couldn't talk about the letter, but discussed the pros and cons of this matter.

In the end, they agreed that getting the emperor's approval was their greatest victory.

And Ye Xun is very powerful, but as a eunuch, he can't make a big deal, but this dead eunuch is really annoying, if there is a chance to get rid of it, that would be great. The meaning hidden in this mysterious letter is obvious. He wanted to take advantage of Ye Xun's departure from Beijing this time to kill him.

Out of common ideals and goals, the two quickly reached a consensus, and only then did the next thing happen.

The two old fellows are cabinet bachelors, and now, in front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, being questioned by the two juniors like this, they couldn't hold back their faces immediately, and began to quarrel with Zuo and Yang.

When both parties argued, there were naturally some helpers waving the flag and shouting, and some people with ulterior motives fueled the flames. For a while, the solemn and solemn court suddenly became like a vegetable market, not to mention how lively it was.

Zhu Changluo, who was originally focused on handling government affairs, was irritated by the quarrel, so he simply flung his sleeves and retreated.

The emperor was angered, and the Donglin party members were all stupid. Is this the weak prince they know, who is what they say?
With the departure of the emperor, the already noisy court suddenly fell into an eerie silence.

Ministers, look at me and I look at you. The emperor has changed and become so strange. It is common for the Ming court to stage martial arts. Today is still civilized, and there is no hands-on action.

In the past, when this happened, the emperor would try to persuade them to fight. He would act as a peacemaker to make peace in the middle, and then the big and small things would be resolved, but today there is no such thing at all. What does this mean?
Liu Yijing looked at Zuo Guangdou, Yang Lian and others who were stunned, and said with a cold snort, "What are you waiting for! Don't you gentlemen follow me to plead guilty to His Majesty?"

Liu Yijing's words reminded the officials, who hurriedly followed the two cabinet bosses and rushed to Zhu Changluo's study to plead guilty.

Unlike the hustle and bustle in the Qianqing Palace, the Kunning Palace is dead silent. With the ascension of Wanli, it must be an inevitable trend for Concubine Zheng to go to the cold palace to wait for her death. Those concubines in the harem who used to be in power have been like hiding from the plague god She avoided Concubine Zheng, and even many court ladies and eunuchs found their own way out.

Although Concubine Zheng was angry, there was nothing she could do. Fortunately, the person she had been dreading had finally left, and her plan could finally be carried out.

With soft footsteps, the heavily made-up Ke Shi came in from the outside. It was obvious that she was already a frequent visitor here, and she didn't need to be informed.

Concubine Zheng Gui didn't seem to be aware of this, and when she saw Mrs. Ke, she hurriedly got up and greeted her, and said in a low voice: "I heard that that person has already left, can we do it tonight? I really can't wait."

Ke Shi gave her a cold look, and said softly: "The eunuch is full of tricks, how do you know he really left? And I got the news that someone around you has already been bribed by him, if you dare to act rashly, wait for you Yes, I'm afraid it's not as simple as Leng Gong."

"Who is it? Who betrayed me? I want to kill him"

Concubine Zheng is already a little hysterical. There were not many available people around her, but now there is a traitor, and she is still not allowed to live.

But Ke Shi smiled slightly and said: "You really can't kill this person, otherwise who will deliver the news for us!"

Concubine Zheng was taken aback for a moment, then a flash of understanding flashed in her eyes.
