When Wang Zhixin left, he didn't know that someone was following him from the beginning to the end.
On the surface, it seemed that Wang Chengen was busy arresting people from Wang Dehua's group, and he never caused trouble to anyone else. But in fact, because of the arrival of Zhang Mingwei, Wang Dehua and Wang Zhixin, who opened the door to welcome the thieves and persuaded Li Zicheng to ascend the throne, were the first people Emperor Chongzhen must get rid of.
The reason why he was not moved was firstly because Wang Chengen was too busy and had to deal with Wang Dehua's group first; secondly, the candidate to replace Wang Zhixin had not yet arrived.
However, this does not mean that Wang Zhixin is left alone, but that someone is always secretly watching.
At this time, Wang Zhixin hurried back to the palace and took money to prepare for things. Of course, it was also for his own benefit.
At the same time, on Chang'an Avenue, a group of ten riders galloped in the middle of the street. He looked dusty and tired, as if he had just arrived in the capital in a hurry.
I saw these people arriving directly at the foot of the imperial city, and then the leader said to the two of them behind him: "You two, wait here first. Let's go back to the palace to see the emperor first. Maybe the emperor will come later Summon you two."
These two men, both tall and long-armed, looked like typical northern men. When they heard this, they clasped their fists and immediately replied loudly: "Common people obey!"
The man who spoke earlier was obviously a eunuch. After hearing their replies, he immediately turned around and headed towards the city gate guards without any extra instructions.
Before anyone arrived, he had already taken out a waist card and shouted loudly to the soldiers guarding the city: "Baoding garrison eunuch Fang Zhenghua has returned to the capital according to the order!"
………………
At this time, Emperor Chongzhen was talking to Zhang Mingwei in the palace. He pointed to a pile of memorials on the imperial court and said: "Sir, it has only been half a day, but the imperial officials have already issued so many memorials, all of which impeached the imperial guards for committing lawlessness. Their words were precise, If there is any evidence or evidence, I will punish you severely!"
At this point, he suddenly smiled slightly and said: "The reason why I told you to come here is that I am afraid that you will be burdened and worried about hearing that many people are impeaching Jin Yiwei. Therefore, I will keep these memorials in mind and ignore the noise!"
To be honest, he was really afraid that Zhang Mingwei would be burdened by so many impeachments as soon as he officially took up a position, so he specially explained it to Zhang Mingwei to show that he absolutely supported Zhang Mingwei's position.
But who would have thought that after Zhang Mingwei heard this, he smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty, why don't you turn all this over to me? If the facts are true, it will just give me an excuse to rectify the Jin Yiwei."
He had just taken office, and the crimes committed by these Jinyi guardsmen were basically something that happened when Luo Yangxing was in office. Now that the new official has taken office, he has used the excuse of assassination to imprison all the officials of Jinyiwei, big and small, but they have not been dealt with yet.
The main reason is that Zhang Mingwei doesn't have time and has just finished working on the refugees. In addition, such a large-scale rectification within Jinyiwei would be a bit exaggerated if it was just for the sake of assassination. It’s impossible to say that so many people participated in the assassination, right?
However, if you want to truly control the Jin Yiwei, you must rectify the Jin Yiwei. Most of the original officials must be replaced. He was worrying about the name of rectification and thinking about how to find out the illegal activities of these people. No, Emperor Chongzhen already had it.
To others, if they hit Jin Yiwei, they would be hitting him. However, Zhang Mingwei had no such idea at all.
Emperor Chongzhen didn't expect him to answer like this. He was stunned for a moment. Seeing Zhang Mingwei always maintaining that relaxed smile, he knew that this was the truth. He couldn't help but nodded and said: "Okay, since sir has such an idea, then I will let the king I will sort out all the memorials and send them to you later!"
As soon as he said this, he heard the servant outside the palace report: "Your Majesty, Fang Zhenghua, the eunuch of Baoding, has rushed back according to the order and asked for an audience."
When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he couldn't help but smile and said to Zhang Mingwei: "Haha, you're just in time. Since you happen to be here, sir, let's meet him together!"
To a certain extent, Founder was recommended by Zhang Mingwei. Moreover, in the original decree, Emperor Chongzhen also asked Fang Zhenghua to bring two people over for Zhang Mingwei's use. Now that we bumped into each other, we just happened to be together.
Of course Zhang Mingwei also wants to see this classmate Fang Zhenghua, the prototype of the legendary "Invincible East", so of course he has no objection.
So, not long after, Fang Zhenghua came over with two people.
"My slave Fang Zhenghua has met Long Live Lord!"
"Caomin Zhang Luofu (Jin Zhensun) bows to my emperor, long live, long live, long live!"
After hearing Emperor Chongzhen's words of "I'm free of ceremony", the three of them stood up.
Among them, Fang Zhenghua was better off. After all, he was originally a eunuch in the palace and was sent out by Emperor Chongzhen. But Zhang Luofu and Jin Zhensun, both of whom were not martial scholars at this time, were just ordinary people. They were suddenly summoned by the emperor. To be honest, they had not had a good night's sleep since they came to the capital. They were just excited.
At this time, seeing the emperor face to face, neither of them dared to raise their heads, just looking at their toes.
Of course Fang Zhenghua would not. When he entered the hall just now, he noticed that there was another person in the hall. What surprised him was that this person was wearing a python suit! In his impression, there seemed to be no one in the Chongzhen Dynasty who had such an honor and was given the python suit. Unexpectedly, he saw one as soon as he rushed back to the capital.
While he was thinking about it, he heard Emperor Chongzhen say to him: "Fang Daban, Mr. Fang said that you are very loyal. When I think about it carefully, Daban is indeed so. Therefore, I asked you to come back this time to take charge of the Royal Horse Prison."
Fang Zhenghua originally thought that the emperor called him back to ask about the local riots. Therefore, when I suddenly heard the news, I was a little shocked.
You know, if there is anyone in the palace who can compete with the eunuch who holds the seal of the Chief of Ceremonies, who is also known as the internal minister, the only one who can compete with the eunuch of the Hand of the Imperial Horse Supervisor. This position has always been regarded as the second most powerful position in the palace.
To be honest, Fang Zhenghua himself was not the first eunuch in the palace. Otherwise, he would not have been sent out as a guard eunuch before. When I heard this news suddenly, I was absolutely overjoyed.
Therefore, he immediately knelt down to thank him and expressed his determination to do a good job in this new job.
At the same time, he was also very concerned about Zhang Mingwei. Just what I said just now contains too much information.
For example, the emperor actually addressed this person as sir! Also, he was able to get the position of eunuch in charge of the royal horse because this man praised his loyalty in front of the emperor.
Who is this person? It seems that I don’t know him, so why would he recommend me like this and even influence the emperor to make such an important decision?
At this time, Emperor Chongzhen did not introduce him. Instead, he looked at the two rather cramped northern men. After looking at them carefully, he smiled and praised: "As expected of Mr. Recommendation, you can tell just by looking at them." The two of you who came out are capable!"
