"Brother Zheng, how did Eunuch Chu lose his power?"
Zhou Yi would not really think that Eunuch Chu was tired of power and voluntarily sued his father to guard the imperial mausoleum.
Because the servant's roots were cut off and he was doomed to have no offspring, he was extremely greedy for money and power during his lifetime, and he was unwilling to let go until his death.
Xiao Zhengzi said: "The rumors involve the deposed prince!"
Deposing a prince was one of the taboos of the Daqing Dynasty.
His Majesty is now proficient in Taoist health care. He has been sitting on the dragon chair for sixty years since he ascended the throne at the age of ten. Looking at his light and healthy appearance, he can still sit on it for another ten years.
"How can there be a prince who has been in the world for forty years?"
This was the slogan shouted by the deposed prince ten years ago. On the occasion of His Majesty's sixtieth birthday, he ambushed five hundred axemen.
Breaking the cup is the number!
The five hundred swordsmen and axemen were cleared away by the Chamberlain before they could rush out. His Majesty deposed the crown prince on the spot and imprisoned him in the Sien Hall in the southeast corner of the palace.
Since then, there has been no crown prince in Daqing.
The ministers in the DPRK repeatedly asked for the country's foundation to be established as soon as possible, but Emperor Hongwu refused for various reasons.
The second, third, and fourth princes have been fighting for ten years. Today, a new person has joined the battle. I don't know who will have the last laugh.
Zhou Yi naturally supports the second prince. Even though there are rumors in the palace that the second prince is cruel by nature, irritable and murderous, but by making Eunuch Xu his godfather, he has no other choice!
In the future, when the second prince ascends the throne, Zhou Yi will also be able to ride on the same trend and be promoted to a high-level chamberlain, becoming "Eunuch Zhou".
As for whether the new king will indulge in debauchery and indulge in tyranny and abuse the people, that has nothing to do with "Eunuch Zhou".
"Eunuch Zhou" will take his father and mother to the capital, and then find a servant in the court. From then on, he will become a master, no longer a weakling who can be bullied!
Zhou Yi wondered: "Ten years have passed since the deposed crown prince case, why are they still being pursued?"
Xiao Yuanzi said: "That is not an ordinary deposed prince. He has lived in the East Palace for forty years. During this period, he has repeatedly overseen the country's governance. I don't know how many people in the inner and outer courts support him."
Xiao Zhengzi changed his words to a secret voice transmission: "There was a disturbance in the Yangxin Palace last night, and many people died. There are rumors that the deposed prince joined forces with Eunuch Chu to bring about a coup in the palace!"
hiss!
Zhou Yi was so frightened that he gasped. Xiao Zhengzi and Xiao Yuanzi were both on duty at Qianqing Palace, not far from Yangxin Palace. It was said to be a rumor, but it was probably confirmed.
Apparently the deposed prince failed again and took Eunuch Chu to guard the imperial mausoleum.
Zhou Yi's eyes flashed: "Eunuch Chu is gone, there are so many empty positions, why don't you Zheng brother and Yuan brother give it a try?"
Eunuch Chu is not a person, but a faction, a mountain.
All the chamberlains in the palace are well-known, and even the chamberlain who pours night fragrance is the spy of a certain concubine and father-in-law.
Today, Eunuch Chu has fallen. In all likelihood, the servants attached to him will suffer, ranging from losing power to disappearing.
There will never be a vacuum in power!
Those vacant positions will attract countless internal servants to fight for them. You sing and I will appear until a new stable situation is formed.
Xiao Zhengzi nodded and said: "The time has come, we have to fight for it."
Xiao Yuanzi said more directly: "I don't dare to ask for pens and palm prints. We want to be a concubine and serve His Majesty."
Xiaozhengzi and Xiaoyuanzi entered the palace in the same year. Their martial arts talents were extremely talented. They were assigned to guard the Qianqing Palace for nine years, but they were still underclassmen.
The father-in-law of Suitang is a serious fourth-rank official of the imperial court and one of the four great ceremonial supervisors. He always follows His Majesty and has the responsibilities of guiding the way and guarding.
This is the Department of Internal Affairs. The official rank does not need to go through the cabinet or the Ministry of Personnel. It is entirely determined by His Majesty's will.
After truly catching His Majesty's eye, he was able to rise from an unranked chamberlain to the chief admiral of the chamberlain department, with a first-rank official position and great power. He was known among the people as being nine thousand years old.
Zhou Yi cupped his hands and said, "I wish you two brothers that all your wishes will come true and that they will be of use to our family. Just ask and I will obey you!"
Xiao Zhengzi said: "It won't be long before the news about Eunuch Chu spreads throughout the palace. Brother Yi will help keep an eye on any of the servants who want to get close to His Majesty."
Zhou Yi patted his chest and agreed: "We must have straightened our ears."
Xiao Zhengzi and Xiao Yuanzi were favored by His Majesty, and Zhou Yi, who was in the same room, could also take advantage of it. He even abandoned Eunuch Xu and joined Eunuch Zheng and Eunuch Yuan.
Zhou Yi doesn't know what loyalty is, he only knows that whoever feeds the buns is the true godfather!
…
A few days later.
The storm of Eunuch Chu's resignation began to sweep through the palace.
At least a thousand people died in one month, affecting the chamberlains of the Twelve Prisoners of the Internal Affairs Department and the maids of the Thirteenth Yamen of the Internal Affairs Bureau.
Zhou Yi was on duty in the Imperial Garden and saw his colleagues being arrested.
Some people just surrendered and were given poisonous wine and white silk ribbons, while some people resisted and died tragically on the spot. Some people shouted that they were wronged, but they only recognized someone as their godfather and did not participate in the case of Mr. Chu.
The chamberlains who are on duty as palace guards don’t care. They are responsible for His Majesty’s safety, and any potential danger must be suppressed!
"One day Eunuch Xu will rebel, will we also die? Or maybe the second prince fails to ascend the throne, and we are lucky enough to survive, but we will have to be demoted to Ye Xiang..."
Zhou Yi had been comfortable for two years, but doubts arose again.
at this time.
He is no longer an ignorant young man. He has seen and heard countless palace secrets, and has quickly grown into a qualified chamberlain.
So Zhou Yi understood that as long as he entered the palace and became a eunuch, he could only choose to climb up. Only when he climbed to the highest place could he barely be considered stable.
"Or, we have another way..."
Zhou Yi thought of two special beings in the palace, Eunuch Hai and Eunuch Wei. It was said that they had reached the pinnacle of martial arts practice and were invincible in the world.
The two of them were born as palace guards, but they did not hold any positions. They only personally guarded His Majesty's safety.
Eunuch Chu, who seemed to be of no rank and rank at the height of his power, had to call Eunuch Hai and Eunuch Wei "ancestors" when he saw them.
"My talent is low, but I am not afraid of losing my lifespan. I can practice the Epiphyllum Book without limit. Others will die after practicing for twenty years, but I have been practicing for two hundred years. How can I be no better than Eunuch Hai?"
Zhou Yi thought for a moment and decided to practice martial arts.
Eunuch Chu is a lesson learned from the past. He has already climbed to the highest point, and if he makes a mistake, he goes to guard the imperial mausoleum.
"If you rely on your godfather, your godfather will fall. If you rely on your majesty, your majesty will grow old! Only by relying on your own fists can you be fearless..."
"Fist is power!"
Zhou Yi stood next to Jiangxuexuan Pavilion, clenched his fist vigorously, and suddenly had a suspicion in his heart.
In the future, he will be invincible in the world, and his behavior can kill the palace. Can he control the change of the throne? He will no longer be His Majesty's slave, but secretly control His Majesty!
Bang bang bang!
Zhou Yi was so frightened that he whipped himself and silently recited the Three Cardinal Principles and Five Constant Rules, loyalty to the emperor and the country, and death for His Majesty...
This terrifying thought is like a weed that cannot be cut or eradicated.
Human greed has no end!
At one time, Zhou Yi only wanted to make money and send it home for his parents to buy steamed buns. Later, he thought about bringing his parents to Kyoto. He had no shortage of money and wanted power.
It is no longer the human-looking animal it once was, eating when hungry, drinking when thirsty, and sleeping when sleepy!
