Haishi.
Chang Yu woke up leisurely in the backyard of the Waidongchang Yamen and heard that there was some noise outside. He got up and opened the door and saw Wu Zhong's personal attendants drinking and bragging on the stone table in the yard. They were all red-faced and enthusiastic.
Seeing the young eunuch getting up, everyone hurriedly stood up to invite him. Chang Yu smiled bitterly and waved his hand: "Tomorrow, after the generals return to the capital, I will host a celebration party in the big world. Then we can have a good drink."
No longer reluctant, Fang San came over with cold water. After Chang Yu washed up, he went to the main hall to work. Several people then entered the lobby to report secretly: First Assistant Li Banghua and Second Assistant Wu Xuan were secretly meeting the Holy Spirit, and they acted arbitrarily... The emperor was angry and sent a message to Chang Yu to wake up and enter the palace.
In addition, soldiers and horses from Shunyi and Miyun are returning to Beijing one after another. Among them, the cavalry from the Four Guards of Jinwu Guards and the Four Guards of Tengxiang Guards have taken the lead in entering Beijing and have entered the city. The rest are camping in the wilderness five miles north of the city. Li Yan, Huang Degong and others have not yet arrived. Beijing……
After Fanzi left, Chang Yu sat alone and pondered. Li Banghua and Wu Xuan directly criticized Emperor Chongzhen for skipping the cabinet to hold a military parade, which was an act of overstepping his authority. On the surface, they were expressing their dissatisfaction with Emperor Chongzhen, but in fact they were targeting Dongchang. He, Chang Yu, is here. If Chang Yu can't see this point, then he is useless as the admiral of Dongchang.
Just after the war, these cabinet bosses couldn't sit still and wanted to start a war against Dongchang. They were afraid that it would be more difficult for the little eunuch to shake his position once he was firmly established. Chang Yu sneered, but he didn't intend to accept the move. He wouldn't. He will focus his attention and energy on these old stubborns, but he will never let them get in trouble. In the past few months, he has cultivated a group of loyal fans to help him charge in the court.
Shi Kefa of the Ministry of War in the court, Wang Jiayan, the governor of the Beijing camp, Wu Mengming, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, Ni Yuanlu, the secretary of the household department, and Gong Yonggu, a good friend of Chongzhen, were all his people.
Not to mention the military, Huang Degong, Zhou Yuji, Li Yan, Tang Tong, Ma Ke, these are die-hard fans, even Wu Sangui wants to see his face, Gao Jie, Liu Zeqing, Huama Liu...
In addition to these personal networks, he also has outstanding military exploits in suppressing rebellions and bandits. Even if public opinion is based on his outstanding military exploits, he is now well-known in both the government and the public. It can be said that it is too difficult for the cabinet to bring him down now.
The most important thing is that he has no bad deeds that the cabinet can use to make a fuss about, such as framing Zhongliang, taking bribes and perverting the law. All in all, he is an abuser of power... However, he will abuse power without the emperor's permission! He doesn't have the authority to direct operations, so go ahead and do it!
You can go play by yourselves, I don’t have time to talk nonsense with you! Chang Yu looked at the candlelight on the table and sneered. He knocked on the table, and a man on duty outside pushed the door in and said, "Mr. Factory, what are your orders?"
"Check Fang Yuegong." Chang Yu squinted and looked at the tea leaves in the cup and said lightly. He was startled: "Mr. Factory, that Fang Yuegong is a cabinet minister..."
Chang Yu raised his eyebrows: "What's wrong with the cabinet minister? Can't we investigate?"
"Of course he was investigated," Na Fanzi said quickly, "but he is still the left deputy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate..."
"I know that," Chang Yu snorted coldly: "He is still a bachelor of Dongge University. He is the first minister in the Ming Dynasty to hold the title of censor. But so what, we will check it out!"
Fanzi quickly agreed, and Chang Yu said again: "Check first but don't rush to do it!"
As a cabinet minister and the censor of the left and deputy capital, Fang Yuegong won the trust of Emperor Chongzhen. In fact, in history, before the fall of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Chongzhen promoted him to a first-rank official, appointed household minister, and minister of the second army. He also served as the bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion, and he was extremely favored by the emperor.
But why did Chang Yu want to investigate a minister who was so favored by Emperor Chongzhen? Could it be to compete for favor?
Of course not, but to weaken the cabinet's attack.
There are only a few people in the cabinet. Although the first assistant Li Banghua is hostile to Chang Yu, he also admires him very much. He is not as quarrelsome as the second assistant Wu Xuan. Shi Kefa and Ni Yuanlu are Chang Yu's people. The rest, Fang Yuegong, Qiu Yu and others He followed Wu Xuan to wave the flag and shout, so Chang Yu wanted to divide it from within. In his opinion, even a saint could find out some information, let alone these big bosses, even several of them have clear names.
Clear your name? Haha, those who have not been found out are all honest officials!
In the past thousands of years, there has only been one Yu Chenglong!
As long as you have the handle, the rest will be easy.
You like to fight among yourself, but I don't want to do that, so I'll just be busy protecting myself.
"By the way, give the post to Li Yuzhi and tell him that I want to see you." Chang Yu suddenly remembered something.
Fanzi was startled: "Li Yuzhi, Minister of the Ministry of Industry?"
Chang Yu nodded and Fanzi smiled bitterly: "Mr. Factory, Li Yuzhi and our Dong Factory are not going to deal with it."
Chang Yu smiled: "So I want to have a good chat with him. If he doesn't deal with it, let him go for a walk."
Fanzi responded and said: "Li Yan and others are already on their way. They estimate that they can reach the capital before dawn, but I heard that the imperial court prohibits them from entering the city."
"It's the cabinet's fault again. Li Yan and others killed the enemy and defended the country in a few months. They are the first-class heroes. Whether they can enter the city or not is not their decision." Chang Yu snorted coldly, shook off his words and fell into deep thought.
Beijing is the capital of the Ming Dynasty. The city is heavily guarded and extremely sensitive. Soldiers and horses from outside are not allowed to enter the city, let alone enter the city, or even get close. If you dare to lead your troops as close as ten miles without the emperor's order, it is a serious treason!
Therefore, when the army returned to Beijing, only the personal guards and soldiers from the Beijing camp were allowed to enter the city. The remaining external troops such as Li Yanzhou Yuji and Huang Degong were ordered to camp five miles away. Five miles away, this was considered a great favor from the emperor.
Chang Yu doesn't have much objection to not allowing the army to enter the city, but if he doesn't allow generals such as Li Yan and Zhou Yuji to enter the city, that's absolutely not okay!
He even wanted to yell at the court, "Fuck you, if they hadn't led the troops to fight in the north and south, you scum would have been kneeling in front of the rebels or the Qing army and begging for mercy. What could you do?" Put onions here!
Half an hour later, a carriage drove out from the Waidongchang Yamen and headed straight for the Dong'an Gate of the Imperial City. Dozens of Dongchang fans and attendants were accompanying the carriage and horse, causing pedestrians on the street to give way. They secretly muttered that this grand spectacle was not possible. That eunuch from Dongchang?
It was almost eleven o'clock in the evening, but there were still so many pedestrians on the street, and they were still under the Imperial City. It seemed that the people were very happy these two days. Chang Yu sat in the car and opened the curtain and looked outside. A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth,
Also, in more than ten years, there has been a rare victory that made both the government and the public feel proud, so they must rejoice!
The imperial city had long been closed, and the carriages and horses were parked outside the door. Chang Yu entered the imperial city alone, and the eunuch who led the way trotted in front of him: "Eunuch Chang, the emperor has been waiting for you for a long time. From sunset to now, almost every half hour I sent someone to ask if you are here. Hey, the emperor is so anxious to see you but doesn’t go to the yamen outside to urge you. He is really kind to you..."
Chang Yu smiled and said nothing, and walked slowly behind him. Several more eunuchs came running in front of him. They were all servants of Dongchang. He walked to the side and whispered: "The leading eunuchs of the Twenty-Four Yamen I want to see you, and the prince has been here several times, as well as Queen Zhou and Princess Kunxing..."
Kunxing? Chang Yu's heart moved and he waved them away. He looked up at the majestic palace in the night, with stars shining in his eyes.
