Ming Dynasty fake eunuch

69. Chapter [-]

I don’t know if it’s because of getting older. After the new year, Wanli’s sleep has not been very good. He often wakes up inexplicably in the middle of the night. He wants to catch up on sleep during the day. Sometimes he can sleep well, and sometimes he can’t sleep at all. Especially after Saarhu's defeat, he often suffered from insomnia all night long.

Wanli's physique is different from others. The result of insomnia is not weight loss, but a tendency to gradually gain weight. It's just that Wanli is very rich. If you don't pay attention, you won't notice that some parts of his body are not fat, but swollen .

When the news of Ye Xun's defeat of Nurhachi came, Wanli finally had a good night's sleep, but for some reason today, it seemed that he was about to suffer from insomnia again.

After Ye Xun left, Wanli wanted to sleep for a while, but he didn't lie down for a long time when he suddenly remembered that he was only interested in asking about Liaodong and forgot to reward Ye Xun.

Wanli is also impatient, the imperial decree has been drawn up by the cabinet, and it needs to be sent directly.

Wanli knew very well that Fang Congzhe, the chief assistant of the cabinet, still wanted to protect Yang Hao, so this imperial decree was passed smoothly. Otherwise, a eunuch in the inner palace only needs to be instructed by him to be directly appointed by the supervisor of ceremonies, and there is no need to go through the cabinet at all.

It seems like a trivial matter, but there are many subtle relationships involved in it.

Fang Congzhe is too confused to fight such a big defeat and still want to get rid of the crime. If there is no one available, he should really let him go home and pick up the child.

This is an idea that Wanli often pops up recently.

In fact, compromise is also an art. If the cabinet compromised the emperor, can the emperor also compromise appropriately?

In the seemingly calm court situation, through Ye Xun and Yang Hao, Wanli and the courtiers are testing each other, but neither of them is the ultimate goal of the other.

Wanli wanted to make Concubine Zheng's son Fu Wang the crown prince, but he couldn't speak up about it easily, because the ministers disagreed. Who let him have the eldest son of the emperor?

Since it doesn't work, let's spend it first!
Half asleep and half awake, Wanli's thoughts flew to nowhere, until someone beside him called softly: "Your Majesty, the chief minister of the cabinet said that he has something to see outside the palace."

Wanli had just ordered that unless Ye Xun arrived, no matter who came, he was not allowed to disturb him.

How to put it, after looking at a person pleasing to the eye, no matter how you look at it, you can't see the person's faults. Now Wanli is very comfortable seeing Ye Xun.

The murderous intent flashed in his eyes, he sat up slowly, nodded and said: "Let Mr. Ge come in! By the way, call the big Han general who is on duty outside."

In fact, this eunuch is not the eunuch who was waiting on the side just now, otherwise he would not have made such a low-level mistake.

With a promise, he turned around and walked out quickly, and soon brought in the old Fang Congzhe and a big Han general.

Fang Congzhe and the Great Han General bowed to Wanli together.

Wanli pointed to the eunuch who woke him up just now, and said to the big Han general: "Pull this slave out and stick him to death."

The big Han general agreed, stretched out his hand like a chicken, and lifted the eunuch who was still stunned. It wasn't until outside the door that the eunuch understood, and began to shout for mercy, but after only two yells, the eunuch stopped. There was a movement, and I don't know if he was knocked out by the big Han general or his mouth was gagged.

Wanli didn't even look at the other eunuchs and court ladies who came in to serve, and were so frightened that they knelt down on the ground, but put on a kind expression. What's the big deal?"

Fang Cong, a wise old man, wouldn't he not understand that Wanli was trying to scare the chickens to scare the monkeys. Obviously he blamed himself for coming at the wrong time, so he can't do it if he doesn't come!If such a big thing happened, if it is not reported to the emperor, if the emperor investigates it afterwards, no one will be able to get rid of the responsibility.

Straightening his scalp, he said, "For disturbing His Majesty's rest, the old minister deserves death, but the matter is too serious, and the old minister dare not hide anything."

When Fang Congzhe said this, Wanli suddenly became a little nervous. Could it be that something happened in Liaodong or somewhere else?
He asked eagerly, "But Jianu raised his troops again?"

Fang Congzhe was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously said: "There is nothing wrong with Liaodong, and Xiong Jinglue said in the memorial that he has already implemented Ye Gonggong's strategy. Eunuch Ye, please Your Majesty, let Eunuch Ye return to Liaodong as soon as possible to preside over the overall situation."

Although Ye Xun was not in Liaodong, his idea worked. This is obviously also the credit of Ye Xun!This slave is really good.

Thinking of this, a smile finally appeared on Wanli's face, he nodded and said with a smile: "It seems that Liaodong really needs this slave to go."

But Fang Congzhe said again: "Your Majesty Qizuo, the important matter that the old minister mentioned is also related to Ye Gonggong."

From Fang Congzhe's serious expression, Wanli finally sensed something was wrong, and asked, "But what trouble did this slave cause?"

After Wanli finished asking, Fang Congzhe hurriedly took out a memorial from his arms and raised his hands above his head, saying: "This is the memorial just sent by the Yushitai. Because the matter involves Eunuch Ye and the emperor's relatives, I dare not presume to discuss it personally." , please Your Majesty to make a decision"

A eunuch took the memorial and handed it to Wanli. Wanli opened it and looked at it twice before his face darkened.

In addition to the eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty, there was also a group of very miraculous officials, namely Yushi. These officials were not of high rank, but they were officials who were in charge of the world and the land. As long as they disliked them, they would bite like mad dogs. , Up and down the Ming Dynasty, there was almost nothing they dared not bite, but the emperor was a headache for them.

But the headache was a headache, and when they scolded him, the emperor had to say with a smile that the scolding was good and the scolding was croaking.

When Ye Xun entered the city in the morning, a censor noticed the conflict between his subordinates and the soldiers and horses of the five cities.

When the censor surnamed Tan saw this situation, he felt as if he had been slapped with chicken blood. You must know that one is a relative of the emperor, and the other is a eunuch favored by the emperor. These two guys are fighting. This is a rare scene in a century. what!
So, after Tan Yushi returned to the yamen, he immediately wrote out all the scenes he saw, and then went directly to the cabinet, sent in the impeachment memorial, and asked the cabinet to deal with the matter quickly, otherwise the Ming Dynasty might cause chaos and so on.

Adding oil and vinegar to create panic has always been the forte of these censors, but this guy also has an advantage, that is, he does not take sides.

The cabinet accepted this memorial as if it had received a hot potato. Concubine Zheng cannot be provoked, and the rising star of the inner palace is also the master of the holy family Zhenglong. They also cannot be provoked!
The treacherous Fang Congzhe soon decided to leave this problem to the emperor.

Wanli already knew about Zheng Chuang's robbery of Ye Xun before, but because of Zheng Guifei's relationship, he didn't intend to delve into it.

In Wanli's heart, Zheng Chuang was just a dandy, and he couldn't make any troubles. After seeing this memorial, Wanli was really angry because he suddenly discovered that the Zheng family, as a foreign relative, could actually mobilize the capital's soldiers and horses. Although Wucheng Bingmasi is similar to the current urban management, it is still an armed force after all!

When did the Zheng family become so powerful?What are they up to?
All dragons have rebellious scales. No matter how many years Wanli has not been in court, the military power has never been left behind. Zheng Chuang's move now undoubtedly touched his rebellious scales.

Just as he was about to speak, he saw a young eunuch walk in from outside, bowed and said, "Your Majesty Qizuo, Eunuch Ye has come to thank you."
