A few days later, Wei Zhongxian stood outside the warm pavilion with the document in his hand, and listened to all the sighs and sighs of the emperor inside.

He was thinking about it in his mind, and a little gloom gradually grew on his expressionless face.

Under such a general trend of public opinion, the emperor still trusted himself and improved his rights, but put himself at the center of the whirlpool of public opinion.

The emperor's meaning, Wei Zhongxian can also understand.

"Do you dare?"

"I'm here, so let's do it."

What Zhu Youxiao said to him flashed in his mind again at this time.

In addition to the overwhelming emotion in his heart, Zhu Youxiao's situation against the general trend of public opinion also made him sound the alarm bell.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse has succeeded to the throne for less than a year, not to mention the heirs, the harem is empty, if there is an accident one day, who will inherit the unification of Sheji.

He would rather the future prince of the Ming Dynasty be an infant than accept the fifth brother of the emperor who talks and behaves like a gentleman of Donglin.

Thinking of this, he lowered his head and looked at the stacks of paperwork wrapped in yellow silk on the tray, but he smiled smilingly.

The content covered by these papers, from the northern frontier of the empire to the South China Sea, the whole world was so comfortably held in the hands of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, how could he be willing to put it down.

......

The next morning, Zhu Youxiao sat up from the dragon bed, and the people standing on the side hurriedly pulled the bed curtain apart.

The sun shone in, the dust drifted in the morning light in the house, and the celebrant and eunuch Wang Tiqian hurriedly brought a warm tea.

Zhu Youxiao hesitated for a moment, took the warm tea and drank it silently, rinsed his mouth and spit it into the spittoon under the bed.

Wang Tiqian picked up the warm tea, saluted without saying a word, and turned around to retreat.

"Wait!" Zhu Youxiao was shocked, and the startled Wang Tiqian immediately turned around and knelt on the ground trembling.

Seeing his frightened look, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help laughing, so he asked, "Wang Tiqian, do you remember the last time I beat you?" ”

Hearing this, Wang Tiqian seemed to feel the pain in his mouth, and hurriedly said: "The slave and maid are not noble bodies, how can they remember." ”

"Good boy, you call a few little eunuchs and come with me."

Not long after, Wang Tiqian called a few little eunuchs, and as soon as he arrived outside the Xinuan Pavilion, he saw the emperor beckoning inside.

Several people hurriedly walked in and saluted.

"You're all on your knees." Zhu Youxiao held it in his hand, took off the saber hanging on the wall, stroked the sharp blade with one hand, and said:

"Do you know what I'm calling you for?"

"There are some things that Wei Zhongxian can't do alone." Speaking of this, Zhu Youxiao raised his eyebrows and looked at them.

When Wang Tiqian heard this, he almost didn't cry on the spot.

He entered the palace for more than ten years, learned literacy in the palace, served this, and served that, not for today, to be valued by the emperor and soar to this day.

Without waiting for Zhu Youxiao to finish speaking, he hurriedly knelt down and took a few steps forward, and said, "Emperor, the slave knows where you are troubled, and the slave is willing to share the worries of the emperor!" ”

Zhu Youxiao smiled lightly and teased: "You eunuchs, you eunuchs, are really just like the civil officials said, except for pleasing me, you are useless." ”

Wang Tiqian smiled and said: "The civil officials can see it clearly, and the emperor can see it even more clearly. ”

"Slaves and maids are really useless except for speculating on a little bit of the sacred heart."

"Haha, dog, I like you." Zhu Youxiao smiled again, looked at Wang Tiqian, and asked softly: "Do you know how to dance the sword, give me a paragraph?" ”

At this time, even if you can't dance the sword, you have to bite the bullet.

Wang Tiqian smiled flatteringly, got Zhu Youxiao's approval, took the sword from the latter's hand, and began to swing and jump in the warm pavilion.

Zhu Youxiao sat back in the imperial case, looked at a few notes on the table with cold eyes, and when he looked at Wang Tiqian again, he already had a few approachable and easy-going.

After a long time, Zhu Youxiao sighed: "It's a pity, with your ability, you shouldn't be in the palace, you should go out to see the army." ”

Hearing this, Wang Tiqian's dance became even more urgent, and his mind Zhu Youxiao naturally understood, and suddenly sneered.

"Do you all know how to dance swords?" Zhu Youxiao suddenly asked.

Wang Tiqian stopped his movements at this time, looked at the little eunuchs lying on the side, and kept squeezing his eyebrows.

Zhu Youxiao tilted his head, but he didn't see it.

"Back to the emperor's grandfather, the little ones are rough about swords."

Zhu Youxiao let out an "oh" when he heard this, took the sword from the panting Wang Tiqian, and said contemptuously:

"Your sword is too soft, the prison army is okay, but the war is not enough."

How could Wang Tiqian not understand that this was the emperor beating himself, and after not going out, he was restraining the frontier generals and making it convenient for them.

This is what the emperor really meant by sending himself out to supervise the army.

It's just that Wang Tiqian and the little eunuchs don't know how to answer.

At this time, Zhu Youxiao tightly grasped the sword in his hand, waved the wide sleeves of the dragon robe, turned around suddenly, and cut the hat of a small gelding lying on the ground into two with a sword.

The little eunuch turned pale with fright and sat down on the ground, but saw Zhu Youxiao throw his sword to the ground with a sneer on his face and sat back.

Zhu Youxiao sat on the top seat for a long time, and said softly:

"I want to set up a capital prison office, under which there are military supervisors, mine supervisors and other positions, each divided into left and right capital supervisors, Wang Tiqian, you are the first left military supervisor, these people you summoned today, half of them are military supervisors, half of them are mine supervisors."

"I only ask you supervisors to play secretly, if there is any hindrance to the frontier generals and obstruction of the war, if I know, I will not tolerate it."

The emperor's attitude on this matter made the first batch of eunuchs tremble.

"Mine supervisor, let's do it in Zhili first, the military supervisor Datong, Xuanfu, Jizhen and Jiangnan each send three people, and then say more, this has to be done slowly."

"As for Dongjiang, Wang Tiqian, you can go there in person to see if what Mao Wenlong said is true."

Wang Tiqian trembled when he heard this, although he knew in his heart that the bitter cold places in Liaodong were not for ordinary people to stay, he still said:

"The slave takes the command."

"Go down, I am tired." Zhu Youxiao held his head with one hand, looking drowsy.

After Wang Tiqian retreated, Zhu Youxiao was silent for a moment and said: "The war in Liaodong is so urgent, Denglai and southern Liaoning are separated by a water, and I want to set up a governor in Denglai." ”

"Deliver the decree and let the cabinet propose a person to be elected."

Watching the little eunuch running out, Zhu Youxiao said casually: "Tell Wei Zhongxian that the left mine supervisor of the Metropolitan Prison Mansion also let him be in charge." ”

In fact, Zhu Youxiao also knew that this was a "stupid move".

But at this time, this is exactly what many people want to see.

Mao Wenlong took the initiative to invite the prison army to enter the island, which was a signal, and he was not unaware of the greed of these eunuchs.

But compared with Wenchen's bottomless approach, the eunuchs' greed for money on the surface is more beneficial than disadvantageous to the border generals.

The functions of the Metropolitan Supervisor's Office, Zhu Youxiao also said, specialize in supervision, secretly play in Beijing, and do not hinder the strategy of local border generals.

If there is really something, Zhu Youxiao can also know in time.

......

In the evening, before leaving, Wang Tiqian summoned the six capital supervisors sent by the first batch of capital eunuchs.

Seeing that the number of people was complete, he went straight to the point:

"Today, the emperor has set up a capital prison and asked everyone to go out to serve as the capital eunuch, do you understand what's going on?"

A little eunuch named Xu Yingyuan smiled and said, "I understand, the emperor is asking us to inquire about those things, and the civil officials will not report them." ”

"You're smart, but you have to use it in the right place!" Wang Tiqian shook his head, "The emperor sent the capital to be imprisoned, but not to let us block his old man's house." ”

"The newspaper's report, the silver that should be taken, it doesn't matter if you take a little less, but if anyone wants to lead troops to hinder the place, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Yu's little eunuchs laughed one after another.

"Whereever, thank God for having this mission."

Wang Tiqian snorted coldly: "It's good if you know, let's disperse."
