"Your Majesty, this matter is related to the blood of the Tian family and should not be ignored. An upright minister who is not associated with the eunuchs should be appointed to investigate thoroughly!"
Zhang Weixian immediately seized the opportunity to perform in class!
At this performance, a group of eunuchs and eunuchs all turned pale... This needs to be thoroughly investigated by some "upright minister". These people are not eunuchs, but rebels against the party, and their lives will be at stake. Confessed!
Zhu Youjian glanced at Zhang Weixian, then at Wei Zhongxian's fellow cabinet minister Huang Liji, and asked with a smile: "Chief Huang, what do you think of General Manager Zhang's proposal?"
When Huang Liji heard Zhu Youjian's question, beads of sweat almost dripped from his forehead!
In fact, he is not an eunuch... He has never joined the party and has never been eunuched. How could he be an eunuch? And he didn't particularly fawn over Wei Zhongxian, and certainly he didn't impeach the 9900-year-old man - when Wei Zhongxian was in power, not many officials would dare to do this!
This Huang Liji is just a dawdling bureaucrat, with nothing outstanding about him. However, because Wei Zhongxian was from the same hometown as him, he paid special attention to him and promoted him from the Minister of Rites to the Chief Assistant of the Cabinet.
So in the eyes of others, Huang Liji is just a pretty eunuch!
If upright officials in the court were allowed to investigate, then Huang Liji would not be far from being imprisoned by Jinyiwei.
"Your Majesty," Huang Liji hurriedly came out to announce, "the matter of Wei Ni and the Hakka family taking pregnant women into the palace involves the palace, and it is not appropriate for foreign ministers to hear about it."
More than a dozen righteous glances were immediately directed at Huang Liji - the eunuch had been discovered!
Of course Zhu Youjian would not let foreign ministers come to inspect the inner court... He suffered a loss once, will he suffer a second time? The eunuchs in the inner court are also good at dawdling. What should I do if the Donglin officials check and find that all of them lie down and cannot move? When the time comes, the outer court will be mixed up, and the inner court will also be mixed up. Sooner or later, he, the emperor, will have to let his traitor take the sword to force him into the palace!
"What the First Assistant said is very good!" Zhu Youjian looked at Zhang Weixian, "Mr. British, I know your loyalty! This time... you take the lead in escorting him! Very good! You are a loyal minister. ! But... there are so many secrets in the inner court, how can foreign ministers investigate? And foreign ministers cannot be allowed in and out at will!"
"This..." Zhang Weixian said something to Zhu Youjian, which made his old face turn red - what was he protecting? Now this "driver" is so fierce, does he need to be protected?
Zhu Youjian looked at Wang Tiqian, the eunuch in charge of the ceremony, and said, "Wang Banban, how about letting Dongchang be responsible for investigating this matter?"
Dongchang?
Isn't that Wei Zhongxian's territory? Wei Zhongxian himself is the eunuch of the East Factory!
When the foreign ministers didn't understand, Wang Tiqian already knew what the young emperor meant, and immediately said: "I recommend Xu Yingyuan to be the governor of Dongchang."
Dongchang can be rectified, but it cannot be abolished, let alone let foreign ministers rectify it... This is the bottom line! Eunuchs are domestic slaves, and only the emperor, the master, can punish them! If this power is to be handed over to foreign ministers, then there will be little power left in Zhu Youjian's hands.
"Xu Banban," Zhu Youjian immediately called his confidant eunuch to his side, "You are now a factory minister... Do you know how to be a factory minister?"
As he spoke, Zhu Youjian glanced at the headless body on the ground.
"This slave knows!" Of course Xu Yingyuan knew... You must listen to the emperor! The emperor gives the east to the east, and the west to the west!
Zhu Youjian smiled - this is the benefit of killing Wei Zhongxian with his own hands!
Wei Zhongxian cannot be killed by those "gentlemen" from outside the court! Otherwise, Dongchang would be afraid of the outer dynasty, so how could he be the emperor's lackey?
Zhu Youjian's current situation is different from that of Nizi who fled to Nanjing. Nizi had a bunch of empty-handed Beiren Group back then, so there was no need for a persecution yamen like Dongchang. But Zhu Youjian did not have such a group and had to rely on the inner court - the Third Battalion of Yumajian was also the force of the inner court!
Therefore, Zhu Youjian still needs eunuchs. This is his own strength!
It's just that what Zhu Youjian needs is the eunuchs who listen to him, not to cooperate with Wei Zhongxian's eunuchs... The real leader of the eunuchs is the emperor, and the eunuchs must not be turned into Wei Zhongxian's party.
The two most powerful positions among the eunuchs are the eunuch Bingbi, the eunuch and the admiral of the East Factory, and the eunuch the eunuch, the eunuch.
The position of Chief Eunuch Bingbi, Eunuch and Admiral Dongchang originally belonged to Wei Zhongxian, but now it has been given to Xu Yingyuan.
Now there is still a eunuch who is responsible for the ceremony and holds the seal.
Zhu Youjian looked at Tu Wenfu, "Liu Chao, the governor of Nanhaizi, is Wei Zhongxian's confidant. He has 20,000 to 30,000 pure troops on hand. What can be done?"
What can I do? Tu Wenfu said in his heart: Just send 500 Yumajian cavalry to go over. How dare the Jing army fight against the Yumajian cavalry?
However, Tu Wenfu did not dare to say this, so he had to ask for orders himself: "I will go to Nanhaizi and bring Liu Chao to apologize to His Majesty."
"Okay," Zhu Youjian nodded and said with a smile, "Why don't you become the governor of Nanhaizi... Take control of the Jingjun first, and I will rectify the Jingjun later."
Zhu Youjian did not want to rectify the Jingjun, but wanted to disband the Nanhaizi Jingjun!
Because the Jing army has little combat effectiveness, it has occupied Nanhaizi's treasure land, and there are so many pretty good weapons and armor on hand... It is better to give their armor and weapons to Mao Wenlong, and then divide Nanhaizi's land among hundreds of people. A heavily armored knight of the Tobe Army servant level.
Of course, the eunuchs of Nanhai Zi Jingjun are not necessarily useless. A group of new people can still be selected from them to join the twenty-four yamen of the inner court, and a group of old eunuchs who lack motivation but are quite courageous can be eliminated.
"This slave will definitely manage the Nanhai Zijing Army for Your Majesty." Tu Wenfu handed over the job of being the eunuch in charge of the royal horse supervisor, but he felt a sense of relief.
Because his right to control horses and soldiers has been taken away... He can't do the palm print at all!
And he also knew about the conspiracy of Wei Zhongxian and the Hakka family... He would have to confess honestly later and ask for forgiveness... If his old slave was still of some use, maybe he could have a decent death.
Zhu Youjian nodded approvingly and said to Shang Fuming: "Shang Fuming, I order you to be the eunuch in charge... and take care of the Royal Horse Eunuch for me!"
"My slave, you receive the order!" Shang Fuming strode forward and kowtowed to receive the order.
At this time, the three battalions of Si Lijian, Dongchang, Yumajian, and Yumajian all officially fell into Zhu Youjian's hands.
You know, there is only one day left before he officially ascends the throne!
This is the difference between killing someone and punishing them... No matter how clever the method of punishing someone is, the effect is not as good as killing someone directly!
"Your Majesty," Li Guoji, the only bachelor in the cabinet who was far away from Wei Zhongxian, stood up at this time, "During Wei Ni's chaos, he persecuted many upright and loyal ministers. Now that Wei Ni has been executed, the court should immediately punish him. The imperial edict was used to redress unjust imprisonment in order to boost people’s morale.”
Zhu Youjian laughed and said: "Of course injustice should be redressed...but we can't act hastily. We have to investigate thoroughly. We can't unjustly accuse a good person, but we can't let a bad person go either!
The most urgent task now is to reorganize the Jinyiwei in each yamen of the inner court... Why not change all the Jinyiwei's commanders first! "
Jin Yiwei is a yamen that gives Zhu Youjian a headache! Unlike Dongchang, it is an institution of the inner court, and Zhu Youjian can do whatever he wants.
Jinyiwei has always been Wu Xun's territory! Even Wei Zhongxian could only control the Jinyiwei through two hereditary martial arts, Tian Ergen and Xu Xianchun.
Zhu Youjian cannot break this rule easily.
But most of the current martial arts have little motivation, otherwise Wei Zhongxian would not be able to play such a big role.
Zhu Youjian thought for a while and said to Luo Sigong: "Your Majesty, Luo Yangxing, has been a Jinyi Guard for a long time and is familiar with the affairs of the Guard. Maybe he can be temporarily appointed as the Guard Commander... You can ask him to go to Wenhua after the court tomorrow morning." Come to the palace."
To be honest, Luo Yangxing is not a very suitable candidate for Wei coach. But Zhu Youjian can't fall out with Wu Xun in Beijing now.
Now he still needs the support of these useless ministers in order to secure his position... Only by stabilizing his position, can he rectify the government from the inside to the outside step by step.
You must not be in a hurry when it comes to rectifying Chao Gang... haste makes waste in this matter! The first step to rectify the imperial court is to make the inner court more stable!
