Chapter 404: The Eunuch Dictatorship

Ji Ruling was surprised to find that although the ghostly and unscrupulous Zhu Hong around him looked like a nerd who only knew how to read to death, he knew a wide range of knowledge, knew astronomy and geography, and knew everything in poetry and songs, which can be called Bo Gu Tong Jin, before he said that he was sent to the palace as a eunuch because of his poor family background, but looking at his knowledge like a rich son who is familiar with poetry and books, Ji Ruling seemed to think of something, and looked meaningfully at the little eunuch in front of him who was still talking, as if he thought of something, but he didn't ask much, just continued to chat with him。 Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Suddenly, Ji Ruling wanted to hear something moving outside, and pulled Zhu Hong up, "It's not good that someone is coming outside, let's go."

"It's too late, follow me" Zhu Hong saw the two figures outside the door who were gradually coming over, and suddenly panicked in her heart, and hurriedly pulled Ji Ruling to hide behind the screen behind the dragon chair, covered her mouth, and made a quiet gesture.

Ji Ruling could feel that the cultivation of the two people who came here was extremely high, and hiding here was useless, so he hurriedly threw out a concealment formation, and the two of them hid in the formation, isolating each other's perception and making them undetectable.

"Iron Catcher, I didn't expect you to use a formation" The vermilion seemed to be quite surprised as if it was the first time she had seen someone perform a formation.

"A little understood, a little understood, shhhh

I saw two figures pushing the door and coming in from the outside, one fat and one thin, one tall and one short, it looked very discordant in stark contrast, and it was clear when I walked in, the thin man among the two turned out to be the old man in the beast robe who had met Ji Ruling on the street before, although he changed into a Nanming dress, but still couldn't change his momentum.

And the fat man, who seemed to be very familiar with this place, pushed the door in without any scruples, wearing a dark red robe glowing golden in the sunlight, and at a glance he knew that there was gold thread in it when making this dress, probably because he was too small or this guy was too fat, the robe wrapped around his horizontal flesh seemed to be circled one by one, like a meat dumpling that was tightly strangled, and it matched perfectly with his body height.

The beast-robed old man looked around very cautiously after he came in, Ji Ruling could feel that this guy was quickly sweeping the entire study with his soul power, fortunately he put down the hidden formation in advance, otherwise he would definitely be found hiding behind this screen.

"Don't worry blindly, this is the imperial study, no one will come here at this time, we can rest assured to discuss our affairs" And Humpty Dumpty walked to the edge of the dragon chair very leisurely, and sat down without any taboos, the flesh on his body was embedded in the dragon chair, and a lot of it pounced out of the gap behind the chair.

"I'm rubbing, who is this dead fat man, so bold, he dares to sit on the emperor's dragon chair! Ji Ruling also seemed to be taken aback, he had been on duty for so many days, and knew that Nanming was a country with strict punishments, and the clothes of the dead fat man in front of him were definitely not Emperor Ming, this dragon chair was not something that anyone could sit on, even if it was the crown prince, if he sat on it before succeeding to the throne, he would be punished for usurpation and rebellion, I heard that there have been many incidents of rebellion in the history of Nanming, and the results all ended in failure, and the losers were all tortured and tortured.

"He is Cao Man's father-in-law, don't look at him as just a eunuch, but he has mastered the tripartite forces of Dongchang and Xichang and Jinyiwei at the same time, the power is tilted towards the government and the opposition, and he holds the power of life and death, and the ministers of the court and the central government all bow down to him, and the current Ming Emperor is actually a puppet, and he is just coerced by this guy to order the princes, and now the ministers' recitals are sent directly to the East Factory every day, and there is anything to discuss with him, and no one puts the Ming Emperor in his eyes at all." Zhu Hong gave people a feeling of loss for some reason, her fists were clenched, and the sadness and unwillingness revealed between her expressions could not escape Ji Ruling's eyes.

"It's no wonder that others, the court gives this guy too much power, Jinyiwei is responsible for the palace guards, is the Ming Emperor's personal soldiers, mastering the Jinyi Wei is equivalent to mastering the Ming Emperor's diet and daily life, and Dongchang is responsible for supervising all the officials of the Southern Ming Empire, up to the ministers of the Three Dukes, down to the Daofu Prefecture and County, which does not have Dongchang people around, to say a little ugly, how many officials in the Southern Ming Empire have not done some bad things, mastering the East Factory is equivalent to mastering the world's officials, and the West Factory is responsible for foreign intelligence, and foreign friends communicate all rely on them, and the West Factory also has a strong foreign aid, how could Emperor Ming put these three important official positions in the hands of one person, it was really confused. Ji Ruling simply and clearly said the key to this matter, and poked at the main point, so that Zhu Hong could not refute it.

Zhu Hongleng paused for a moment and shook her head helplessly, " Maybe the Ming Emperor is also a last resort, you may not know, more than ten years ago, the previous Ming Emperor died violently, leaving only a young child, that is the minister of the court has no way, can only let the young child succeed to the throne, and unite the three princes and six ministers and more than ten ministers together to assist in the management of the government, originally, the first emperor Ming Wen law stipulates that eunuchs can not interfere in politics, that Cao Man is only the Ming Emperor's side of the attendant, at that time the East Factory and the West Factory and Jinyi Wei are still in the hands of the three adults, everything is safe.

Unexpectedly, ten years ago, Cao Man read the palace collection all over the world and created his own "Cai Hua Demon Gong" Cultivation is a great success, cultivation is a big rise, you also know that our Nanming Empire is heavy on literature and light on martial arts, and there are not many masters in the court, that Cao Man used coercion and temptation to fight for power, and directly obtained the position of the governor of Dongchang, since then it has been out of control, because the officials of the court have fallen into the hands of Cao Man, they are all controlled by him, and seven of the ten ministers who take care of their lives have been lost in three years, and the governor of Xichang was also killed by Cao Man's treacherous scheme, and then he is the commander of Jinyiwei... The power of the DPRK gradually fell into his hands

Emperor Ming thought that when he grew up, he would be able to take back the power and govern himself, but what he didn't expect was that Cao Man was no longer satisfied with being a subordinate, and took the entire government and the opposition into his own hands, and self-styled himself was nine thousand years old, and one person was above ten thousand people, and no one could match."

Ji Ruling looked up and down at Cao Man, who was only one side away from him, and didn't know if he had any magic weapon on his body that could hide his breath, no matter how Ji Ruling looked at it, this guy in front of him was just a dead fat man with a body of flesh, "Then what kind of cultivation is this Cao Man now?"
