Chapter 11 The inner court rises!

The inner study hall, where eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty studied, was under the jurisdiction of the Supervisor of Ceremonies. It was an important place in the inner court. Young eunuchs who could study in the inner study hall would have an extra bit of luck.

"Your Majesty, all the eunuchs of the twelve eunuchs, and the old men of the royal family are here according to the order." Wang Chengen stepped forward respectfully and said to Emperor Chongzhen who was reading a book.

"Well, ask them all to come in."

Emperor Chongzhen looked at the "History of Diao Yu" in his hand and said calmly.

"This slave obeys your order."

Wang Chengen, who didn't know what his prince wanted to do, hurriedly bowed in response, then walked out of the hall and read out the decree.

"Slave wait, please meet the Emperor!"

More than twenty eunuchs, each with their own thoughts in mind, either wearing red python suits or flying fish suits and wearing three-mountain hats, knelt down respectfully on the ground and paid homage to Emperor Chongzhen.

"Everyone, get up."

Emperor Chongzhen put down the "History of Diao Yu" with an indifferent expression, looking at the eunuchs in front of him, echoing the people in his memory.

These are the heads of the twelve eunuchs of the inner court, as well as the old men who originally believed in the palace.

In addition to Wang Cheng'en and Cao Huachun, there were also other eunuchs from the inner court such as Pang Tianshou, Gao Qiqian, Fang Zhenghua, Han Zanzhou, and Wang Dehua.

The people standing there stood respectfully, not daring to make the slightest move. They were all thinking about one thing at this time: why did the emperor summon them all to the inner study hall?

"Do you want to be in power?"

Emperor Chongzhen smiled half-heartedly, looked at the people in front of him, and said something that shocked everyone.

"Slave, you don't dare to wait!"

Everyone, headed by Wang Chengen and Cao Huachun, hurriedly knelt on the ground, their bodies like chaff, and their faces showed more or less frightened expressions.

Compared with Comrade Wei and his colleagues, he is still somewhat inferior.

But it’s okay, no one can take on a new position as soon as they come up. How dare you think of memorizing it before you sit in that position?

"Look at your potential, did I say anything else? Just kneel on the ground and get up, one by one!"

Emperor Chongzhen calmed down and shouted with a cold face: "Since I became emperor, I have been busy dealing with government affairs, and I have been somewhat neglectful of the inner court."

The eunuchs who stood up were standing respectfully, listening to what their princes said, for fear of hearing something wrong and making their princes unhappy.

"This inner study hall has not yet added new eunuchs for further training. What do you, the Chief of Ceremonies, do for food?" Looking at the people in front of him, Emperor Chongzhen frowned and said.

"Cao Daban and Wang Daban, next, select young and smart eunuchs from the existing eunuchs in the inner court to add them to the inner study hall for further study.

From now on, an examination will be held every year in the inner study hall, and the replenishment will be sent to the twelfth prison. Look at the current inner court, it is almost controlled by the outer court."

"My slave obeys the order!"

Cao Huachun and Wang Chengen hurriedly bowed and responded, and they were all secretly shocked. Their emperor was going to reorganize the inner court and get rid of those who had connections with foreign dynasties.

"I know that under the influence of Wei's eunuch power, all of you have become cautious."

Emperor Chongzhen stood up, walked towards Wang Chengen and the others, and said indifferently.

"But I am liquidating the eunuchs of Wei and the eunuchs to remove the ambitious people who are not loyal to my Ming Dynasty, but I have never said that I told you not to do anything!"

The Chongzhen Dynasty needed ‘Wei eunuchs’, but it did not need out-of-control ‘Wei eunuchs’.

The group of eunuchs in the inner court in front of me must be reused at this stage. If there are any unscrupulous people in the future, then I will definitely liquidate them.

Imperial power needs loyal eunuchs to extend it, but it does not need out-of-control eunuchs to destroy it.

"Cao Daban, you were the first to be by my side. Your hard work has paid off."

Looking at Cao Huachun, who was standing respectfully, and Emperor Chongzhen, who was standing with his hands down, he said: "I was burdened by Wang An and was expelled from the palace by Wei Eunuch, but I know that you are capable of redressing the injustice caused by Wei Eunuch.

well done.

If you do meritorious service, you should be rewarded.

From now on, Cao Daban, you will supervise the East Factory. It is time for this East Factory to be reorganized."

boom!

Everyone standing in the inner study hall looked shocked. They subconsciously raised their heads and looked at Emperor Chongzhen in disbelief. Then they all lowered their heads immediately.

"This slave obeys the order! This slave will definitely live up to the emperor's favor!"

Cao Huachun, who was so excited, knelt down on the ground and said respectfully to Emperor Chongzhen.

"Um."

Emperor Chongzhen responded, then looked at Wang Chengen, as if he was aware that he was looking at him. Wang Chengen's body began to shake slightly, and then he forced himself to calm down.

"Promote Wang Cheng'en to the position of Chief of Ceremonies and Chief of Eunuchs, supervising the affairs of various supervisory bureaus."

Emperor Chongzhen didn't think much about this confidant who was loyal to him and spoke directly to Wang Chengen.

"My slave, thank you for your kindness!"

The excited Wang Chengen also knelt down on the ground and bowed.

The ceremonial supervisor holds the seal of the eunuch.

Governor of the East Factory.

These two high-ranking eunuchs, named Pang Tianshou and Gao Qiqian, were successively sealed off. Each one of them was frightened and suspicious, what happened to his own prince?

How could it be so easy to clarify all the high-level positions that were previously lacking?

Could it be related to this Jianlu invasion?

Looking at the people in front of him with different expressions and thinking about it in his heart, Emperor Chongzhen raised the corner of his mouth slightly and showed a smile. This was just the beginning.

Since the Chongzhen Dynasty needs a "Wei eunuch", then I will adjust the framework of the twelve imperial eunuchs and tell you to sit tight first.

Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen said: "Promote Pang Tianshou, be the eunuch who holds the pen for the ceremonial supervisor, promote Gao Qiqian, be the eunuch who prints the seal for the imperial horse eunuch, promote Fang Zhenghua, and supervise the eunuchs for the imperial eunuch..."

The twelve eunuchs of the inner court who were previously vacant, including the eunuchs who were missing under the eunuchs of the ceremony, and the eunuchs who accompanied the hall, were all filled by him this time!

Wang Chengen was dumbfounded.

Cao Huachun was dumbfounded.

Pang Tianshou was dumbfounded.

Gao Qiqian was dumbfounded.

Everyone standing in the inner study hall was dumbfounded.

What happened to the emperors who had been wary of the inner court before? Why were they suddenly promoted to official positions?

"Think carefully about what I just said."

Emperor Chongzhen turned around and walked towards where he was sitting, saying in an indifferent tone: "Think carefully about whether your position can help me relieve my worries.

Set your mind right.

What I give to you is yours. If I don’t give it to you, you can’t rob it, let alone scheme against it!”

"My servants, please thank me for your kindness!"

Everyone who had come back to their senses at this moment suppressed the excitement in their hearts and knelt on the ground in no particular order. They spoke respectfully to Emperor Chongzhen who was sitting down with Da Ma Jin Dao.

The promotion of some eunuchs in the inner court is a private matter of the Emperor of Heaven. No one needs to interfere or interfere. Looking at the people kneeling in front of him, Emperor Chongzhen's eyes flashed with brilliance. He took the first step to completely control the inner court.
