The 171st chapter inner court earthquake (2)
In a sense, Emperor Chongzhen was the largest landowner in the Ming Dynasty, and the large group of eunuchs in the inner court were the servants of Emperor Chongzhen.
As a special group in the feudal dynasty, eunuchs are the most criticized category. Gender has become their taboo, and their more realistic living environment has created their twisted and complex characters, as well as their special obsession with money.
However, for Emperor Chongzhen, what he had to do was how to drive the eunuchs in the inner court and make them an extension of the imperial power and one of his forces to check and balance the court.
With Emperor Chongzhen's encouragement and support, and with Emperor Chongzhen's expectations, Wang Chengen and Fang Zhenghua left the Military Aircraft Department with high morale.
Under the current complicated situation, we are preparing to show the West Factory and the Iron Fist of the Inner Factory to the world. Thanks to the military eunuchs who have survived the battlefield, the framework built by Wang Chengen and Founder can operate at the fastest speed.
.
"Our family and Eunuch Fang have summoned you all here this time because we have something important to announce." Wang Chengen looked sharp and looked at the more than ten eunuchs from the West and Inner Factory standing in front of him who were wearing python robes and flying fish suits.
With a sense of majesty, he said: "Your current position depends entirely on the favor of the Emperor. The Xiji Work Factory and the Da Neixing Factory were founded with a mission. The Emperor ordered..."
"Listen carefully to the edict!"
The eunuchs from the West Factory and the Inner Factory, headed by Zheng Zhong, knelt down one after another and shouted in unison.
"...The emperor has spoken out that the imperial village under the jurisdiction of the inner court contains domestic thieves. They do not want to be loyal to the emperor, but they enrich their own pockets, take bribes and pervert the law, corrupt the power of heaven among the people, bully the people, and insult the power of the emperor.
, Te Ming Xi Ji Office, Da Nai Xing Factory, launched a review on all the royal houses, caught the thieves, and punished them severely no matter who was involved!"
"I will obey the order!"
In this small official building, the senior officials of the West Factory and the Inner Factory knew what they wanted to do, and Fang Zhenghua, who was nearby, walked forward slowly.
Now that the righteous cause of becoming a monk has been established, the next thing Fang Zhenghua has to do is to distribute the plans formulated in consultation with Wang Chengen one by one.
There are eight prefectures under the rule of Beizhili. Each prefecture oversees and handles the errands of Huangzhuang. The West Factory and the inner factory assign a senior official to be in charge of the affairs of the prefecture. They are responsible for supervising and supervising. Wherever something goes wrong,
Which eunuch is in charge of punishment?
Under this clear action system, more than four thousand eunuchs from the West Factory and the Inner Factory will show their cold daggers at the Imperial Mansion under the jurisdiction of the Inner Court.
"Eunuch Fang, since the errands are all clear, let's act immediately." Wang Cheng'en looked at Fang Zhenghua with a serious expression and said: "End this matter as early as possible to avoid more troubles. The Emperor attaches great importance to this matter. During this period, there will be
If you have any questions, we need to send more people to contact you.”
Fang Zhenghua nodded and said, "Eunuch Wang is right. It should be done without further delay. Our family will immediately lead a team to Zhending Mansion to ensure that there will be no accidents in this matter."
As the top leaders of the newly established West Factory and the Inner Factory, this joint operation against the Inner Palace will not be able to successfully complete the mission if their thoughts cannot be unified.
Fortunately, Emperor Chongzhen took these into consideration when appointing them. As loyal people, Fang Zhenghua and Wang Chengen did not dare to have any internal strife after Emperor Chongzhen made his will clear.
"Admiral Sun, something happened!"
Li Mingzhong was in a hurry and rushed to the temporary nine-door admiral's office. After seeing Sun Zushou, he hurriedly clasped his fists and said: "According to reports from the guards at Chaoyang Gate, Dongbian Gate, and Guangqu Gate, a large number of eunuchs were dispatched from the inner court.
The door leaves Beijing."
"Is this happening?"
When Sun Zushou heard this, he raised his brows slightly and said, "Can these eunuchs from the inner court who are leading the team have the souvenirs from the inner court to inquire about their whereabouts?"
As the nine-door admiral appointed by Emperor Chongzhen, Sun Zushou was responsible for the defense of the capital. Now that his Zhongyong Army had just taken over the defense of the capital, and something like this happened, he must be vigilant.
"There is a souvenir from the inner court."
Li Mingzhong nodded and said: "However, when interrogating them about their specific whereabouts, the eunuchs from the inner court who led the team all said that they were acting on the emperor's orders and could not disclose them.
In addition, Chaoyang Gate and Yongding Gate also specifically stated that the leading eunuchs leaving the capital through them were Wang Chengen, the eunuch in charge of the ceremony, and Fang Zhenghua, the eunuch overseeing the horse eunuch."
After hearing this, Sun Zushou fell into deep thought. His intuition told him that these eunuchs from the inner court who had left Beijing had something big to do, but he didn't know what it was specifically.
"Since we have received the emperor's oral order, there is no need to pay any more attention to it." Sun Zushou frowned and said, "I will write a memorial and submit it to the emperor.
By the way, now that order has been established in all the gates of the capital, the redundant loyal and brave soldiers will be moved to Fengtai and build a large camp according to the orders of this admiral."
"Here!"
While Emperor Chongzhen was busy handling various matters at the Military Aircraft Department, Sun Zushou, who was appointed as the Admiral of the Nine Gates, was also not idle.
After two days of preparation, the soldiers and horses that originally guarded each gate were selected as a group of soldiers who could be reused, and the rest were sent back to their original positions.
Originally, Sun Zushou had written the corresponding memorial and was preparing to submit it to Emperor Chongzhen. Unexpectedly, something like this happened again, which forced him to write another memorial.
Wang Chengen and Fang Zhenghua led a group of eunuchs from the Inner Factory and the West Factory to leave the capital and rush to the various prefectures under the rule of Beizhili to prepare for the investigation of Huangzhuang. Such a big fanfare will definitely cause quite a stir in the current capital.
.
Emperor Chongzhen, who had Pang Tianshou report the matter, showed a helpless smile after learning about it, but secretly said in his heart: "After all, I am still a little impatient. Leaving Beijing in such a big way will inevitably cause problems to the current situation."
Some unnecessary effects.
But it can be forgiven. After all, this is the first time for such a big thing. After this matter is over, I can give them a good beating.'
Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen shook his head with a smile and continued to work. Now at the Military Aircraft Department, all the errands that were previously assigned are now in sight, and what needs to be done must be done as soon as possible.
After this post-war reward award is concluded, the case of Yuan Chonghuan can be started smoothly.
Looking at Emperor Chongzhen busy at his desk and Pang Tianshou waiting nearby, he began to wonder uneasily what Wang Chengen and Fang Zhenghua were doing by leaving the capital in such a big way and taking so many eunuchs from the inner court with them.
