Ming Dynasty fake eunuch

Chapter 33 News
Beijing, the Supervisor of Rites of the Daming Palace.

In Beijing at the end of March, the footsteps of spring are quietly approaching, but the weather is still a bit cold. The physique of the eunuchs is not as good as that of normal people. Braziers are placed in the four corners of the room, and the kang is also warm, so that the eunuchs will feel better.

Cui Wensheng sat cross-legged on the kang, holding in his hand the secret report sent by Xu Xianchun, the governor of Jinyiwei. He couldn't help frowning, and muttered softly: "Ye Xun? Who is this person? How come the miscellaneous family have never heard of this person?"

At this time, Cui Wensheng was in charge of the Supervisor of Ceremonies, which is what people often call the Inner Prime Minister. However, Cui Wensheng was not very capable, and although Emperor Wanli trusted the eunuchs, he was not conniving. The relationship with the foreign court is relatively harmonious.

The story of Saerhu's defeat has long been reported, but because of Ye Xun's sudden birth, Nurhachi, who won the victory, did not have much joy, let alone Emperor Wanli, who was the supreme ruler of Ming Dynasty.

After the news came, Emperor Wanli shut himself in his study for a whole day, and he ignored anyone who came to see him and persuade him. Immediately, he issued a series of orders, including dispatching Xiong Tingbi, arresting Yang Hao, strengthening the defense of Shenyang, etc. .

Xu Xianchun, as the governor of Jinyiwei, although he could send the secret report to the emperor alone, but because the person on the secret report was an eunuch, he kept an eye on it and sent the secret report to Cui Wensheng first, and then Cui Wensheng forwarded it to the emperor. The reason for doing this, of course, is to make friends with Cui Wensheng, the chief eunuch who is the supervisor of ceremonies.

At the end of the Wanli Dynasty, Jin Yiwei and the eunuch had similar encounters, both of them were people with their tails between their legs, but through this incident, Xu Xianchun saw hope, a hope for Jin Yiwei to regain its glory.

Cui Wensheng has been in the court for so many years, how can Xu Xianchun fail to see his intentions, and as one of the emperor's most trusted people, he knows very well that what the emperor needs most now is a victory, even if it is not a big victory , but it is also a victory to regain face.

It was Ye Xun who made Cui Wensheng puzzled. In the past, the eunuch guarding the eunuchs was assigned by the Imperial Horse Supervisor. At this moment, Sun Lun, the eunuch in charge of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, was sitting at the side. But according to Sun Lun, the eunuch guarding Tieling was Liu Yong. , there is a little eunuch next to Liu Yong, but he can't remember the specific name.

Cui Wensheng was already in his sixties, but his mind was working extremely fast. Seeing that Sun Lun couldn't provide any information about Ye Xun, he rolled his eyes and suddenly had an idea in his mind.

With a wave of his hand, he drove all the other eunuchs out of the house, and then said to Sun Lun, "From now on, that little monkey boy named Ye Xun is the spy you and I placed beside Liu Yong. Immediately took over the military power of Tieling, thus driving the old Tartar slaves back to their hometown, do you understand?"

The eunuch who can sit and be the boss of the imperial horse supervisor is obviously not an ordinary brain, and he immediately understood Cui Wensheng's intentions.

He nodded and said, "The miscellaneous family understands, it's just that Liu Yong."

Hearing Sun Lun mention this person, Cui Wensheng's eyes flashed murderous intent, and he said: "The miscellaneous family will ask Xu Xianchun to send someone to do this. Our family has written down Xu Xianchun's love. In short, this credit must belong to our men. Let's go. Let's go see His Majesty now."

He was almost sixty, and he was very agile in his actions. He asked the little eunuch to wait for him to put on his shoes and hat, and then rushed to Qianqing Palace with Sun Lun.

Emperor Wanli is really in a bad mood recently, so bad that he can't describe it in words, because he never dreamed that the situation in Liaodong would be corrupted here. That tartar named Nurhachi seemed to appear overnight .

Sitting alone in the imperial study room, he couldn't help but think of the memorial to impeach Li Chengliang by the imperial censor a few years ago. Now that the content of the impeachment in the memorial has become a reality, recalling the previous trust in Li Chengliang, Wanli only hated his teeth.

Fortunately, Li Chengliang died early, otherwise with Wanli's current mood, he would definitely have to be killed several times.

People are like this. When things happen, they often don't see their own responsibility. All problems are made by others.

Li Rubai fled in front of the battle, Li Ruzhen stood still, and I don't know what happened to the Li family?
Censor impeaches them every day now, Wanli is pretending to be calm, he is actually waiting, waiting for Xiong Tingbi's memorial, because these two brothers now have soldiers in their hands, and Liaodong is already like this, if there are two more traitors, the situation will be different I'm afraid it really can't be cleaned up.

Counting the time, Xiong Tingbi should have arrived in Liaodong, why hasn't the memorial been delivered yet?

Wanli, who has always been calm, has been very irritable recently. Today, several eunuchs have been sent to the cabinet to check.

At the moment Wanli is watching Fang Congzhe's memorial, and Yang Hao was recommended by Fang Congzhe, and now that Yang Gao has suffered such a big defeat, Fang Congzhe is still apologizing for him.

Wanli suppressed the anger in his heart, now is not the time to deal with Fang Congzhe, otherwise there will be no work in the cabinet.

Just thinking about it, footsteps sounded, Wanli looked up, but saw Cui Wensheng and Sun Lun walking in quickly one after the other.

Seeing that both of them were looking happy, Wanli couldn't help wondering: "Why are you so happy? But there is news from Liaodong?"

"Your Majesty has seen Wanli, and before the old slave said it, His Majesty guessed it. It is indeed news from Liaodong, and it is very good news."

As Cui Wensheng said, he took the lead and kowtowed respectfully to Wanli.

"Oh! Where does joy come from?"

After all, Wanli is old, and sometimes he thinks like an ostrich. When encountering irreversible setbacks, he would rather hide his head than think about how to face and change.

But as the lord of the empire, there are some things that he has to face. Liaodong is like that, what good news can there be?

Thinking about it, deep down in my heart there is no desire to hear good news.

"Your Majesty, Ye Xun, the eunuch guarding Tieling, used thousands of remnants to block an army of tens of thousands of Tartar slaves under the city of Tieling. Not only that, Ye Xun also personally beheaded the number one Jurchen warrior, Batu Li, and killed The Jurchen army threw away their helmets and armor, and lost a lot, Your Majesty, God bless you!"

Although what Cui Wensheng said was eloquent, Wanli didn't quite believe it. There was a battle report saying that Li Ruzhen was hiding in Shenyang, which meant that Tieling didn't have many soldiers. Such a small city has no soldiers inside and no reinforcements outside. Repel the attack of the Tartar army?
Wanli really hoped for good news, but he was not stupid, this news was a bit too shocking.

As Wanli didn't believe it, Cui Wensheng hurriedly said: "This news was just sent to the palace by Governor Xu of Jin Yiwei. For such a big matter, forgive him for not daring to lie. Besides, if the situation is true, there will be news soon."

Wanli also thought about it, such a big matter cannot be hidden at all, and taking such a big risk to deceive the emperor is really not worth the candle.

Thinking of this, Wanli suddenly became happy, and said, "What did you just say the name of the eunuch guarding Tieling?"

"Return to Your Majesty, his name is Ye Xun, and he was secretly sent by the old slave in Tieling."

Wanli was taken aback, and said, "What is secret dispatch?"

"Your Majesty, when this son was in Beijing, Eunuch Sun recommended him like an old slave. After investigation, the old slave found that he was indeed a rare talent. In order to train him, the old slave sent him to Liaodong At the front line, he did not disappoint the old slave. After the former eunuch Liu Yong fled, he led the soldiers and civilians of Tieling to rise up against the Tartar army. Relying on His Majesty Tianwei, he really won the victory."

Wanli felt as if he was listening to a story. When Cui Wensheng talked about the wonderful part, he couldn't help but shoot up, and said something that no one thought of.

"Quickly recruit Ye Xun to Beijing, I want him to play it right in person"

"what"
