Chapter 319: Summoning Tian Ergeng, Lu Xiangsheng, and Sun Chuanting into the palace
Since having Wei Zhongxian, Zhu Youxiao has not personally stepped down for a long time, and he has put the Taoism in the officialdom on the surface.
The ministers also knew that some people had really done it this time.
They stood at the bottom of the stairs with a blank look, looking at the Emperor of the Apocalypse who seemed to have all his eyes on the sword in his hand, and no one expected that this reform would reach such a point.
Although the Xuankun Party established by the Wuxi Academy faction and Tang Binyin has only appeared recently, they are not easy to mess with in this situation.
The people of these two parties had friends everywhere, and every time the imperial court stepped up its efforts in reform, more and more officials joined them.
Wuxi Academy also has the Xuankun Party, which is a product of the times.
If Zhu Youxiao did not reform, these two things would not have appeared, or they would have appeared for a long time, and Zhu Youxiao proposed reform in the third year of the Apocalypse, and they came into being.
After a long time, even the ministers of military aircraft, cabinet assistants, and the crotch of the inner court who supported the reform felt a headache when they heard their names.
Almost all the officials who opposed the reform gathered in these two parties, and they unanimously demanded the immediate restoration of the six ministries and courtyards in Nanjing.
Of course, they also have a high-sounding reason, Nanjing set up a ministry, which is the ancestral system since the founding of the Ming Dynasty.
Relying on the current public opinion and the cusp of the storm are all in their favor, the officials of these two parties are also making more and more trouble.
Zhu Youxiao's tough attitude on this matter also made the military aircraft and cabinet ministers, as well as the crotch of the inner court, feel that their heads are in their hands, and their lives are even more precarious.
If you don't show a position as soon as possible like the relatives, then it is impossible to predict in what direction this matter will develop.
In the military machine room, Wei Guangwei and Wang Zaijin are also cabinet assistants.
Since the attitude of Han Yi, the first assistant of the cabinet, is ambiguous, Gu Bingqian and two other cabinet ministers have attracted the most attention since they resigned and returned to their hometowns.
Soon, led by Cui Chengxiu, Zhang Weixian, Wei Guangwei and Wang Zaijin, the four ministers of the military engine room and the cabinet, the ministers who supported the reform jointly signed a letter of letters.
The content of the note directly refers to the Wuxi Academy founded by the Donglin Party, and the Xuankun Party established by the former Nanjing Guozi Priest Tang Binyin and other laid-off officials.
said how the people of these two parties were presumptuous, did not take the current holy and imperial decrees in their eyes, and asked the Emperor of the Apocalypse to strictly deal with them according to the law.
On this day, Wang Chaofu bowed down and placed the music in the palace in the city of Nanjing, and respectfully said:
"Emperor, this is a book jointly handed over by the four elders of the Beijing Military Machine Room and the Cabinet."
Zhu Youxiao didn't seem to be in a good mood, waved his sleeves impatiently, and scolded:
"What you don't see with your eyes, what if you don't see me resting?"
Wang Chaofu hurriedly fell to the ground and pleaded guilty, and was about to retreat, just turned around, and before he had time to take two steps away, he heard Zhu Youxiao say behind him:
"Put the book here, no one else is allowed to summon me, and no one else is allowed to come in without permission."
Wang Chaofu knew that he would stay here any longer, so he could only be scolded in vain, hurriedly kowtowed and confessed, put the book within Zhu Youxiao's reach, and walked out of the Anding Hall with his legs.
With one foot out of the Anding Palace, Wang Chaofu breathed a sigh of relief and said to the two signs outside the waiting hall:
"Listen to it, if someone comes to see him, without His Majesty's will, even if the head of the cabinet comes in person, he will have to stop our family here!"
"Don't worry, father-in-law, the little ones are all careful!"
The two signs laughed, but one of them blinked and suddenly asked:
"Father-in-law, the emperor has not been in a good mood these days!"
The other man also showed fear on his face, and said worriedly: "Yesterday, it is said that the little eunuch who killed the direct palace eunuch with a cane, but it is infiltrating." ”
"Alas!"
Speaking of this, Wang Chaofu's eyes rolled and he sighed heavily: "Didn't you call the Wuxi Academy and the Xuankun Party to kill them?" ”
"Tell me, what are they doing to be this official?"
"You can't say that," said the small sign.
"In these days, who doesn't want to be an official, not only does he have face by saying it, hehe, he can also make money!"
Wang Chaofu glared at him and scolded:
"Something that doesn't do anything, I usually ask you to do something, but I always push back and go, and I am diligent in inquiring about this kind of news."
He flicked his sleeves and said as he walked:
"What our family said to you today, not a word is allowed to be revealed, and the eunuch of the direct palace is not allowed to say anything about the eunuch who was killed with a rod."
"How can you!"
"The affairs of the palace, how dare the slave and maid spread it casually!"
The two signs laughed, nodded and discussed, and as soon as Wang Chaofu turned around, he hurriedly went to talk to the rest of the eunuchs.
But what they didn't know was that Wang Chaofu turned the corner and stopped, leaned against the wall and listened for a long time, but laughed with satisfaction.
Turning his head, Wang Chaofu came to the residence of the Zhidian Eunuch in the palace.
The chief eunuch here hurriedly ran out, bowed down and said, "When the wind blew the trump card in front of the emperor, the small one here is really shining!" ”
"You don't have to talk to our family, and you don't have any of this."
This person is a henchman of the eunuch party, Wang Chaofu is naturally too lazy to say, he took out twenty taels of silver from his sleeve, handed it over and said:
"This is given to Li Ying's family by His Majesty to supplement his family."
"This dedication to state affairs is always the court owes him a debt..."
The chief eunuch held a fat round face full of oil and water, smiled and took the silver ingot, with a look of shock and admiration on his face, and exclaimed:
"Your Majesty is benevolent, Your Majesty is benevolent!"
"You have to rot in your stomach about this, just send a trustworthy little eunuch to give it secretly, don't make a noise."
Wang Chaofu's face gradually became serious, and he warned:
"If you shake it out, our family won't be able to keep your head."
The chief eunuch naturally understood that this was a dirty matter that His Majesty the Emperor did not want to mention, although it was a human life, but in this era, it was really not a big deal.
But if it comes out, for yourself, the sky will fall.
He squinted his eyes slightly until it became a small slit, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, don't you believe the slaves, inside and out, they are all factory supervisors." ”
Wang Chaofu snorted coldly and turned to leave.
At the same time, outside the Stability Palace.
The two signs and a bunch of little eunuchs were discussing something in private, Wang Chengen came over and listened to a few words, and before he could express his opinion, he heard an order with a little anger coming from the hall.
At this juncture, in addition to Wei Zhongxian, there are very few people who dare to approach Zhu Youxiao's body, such as Wang Chaofu, who is often in front of the emperor.
Look at me outside, these eunuchs, I'll look at you, none of them are in a hurry.
But it was Wang Chengen, gritting his teeth, stomping his feet, and stepping in.
One foot went in, but the other foot stumbled on the low threshold, Wang Chengen sighed and fell forward.
He realized something, trembled and raised his head, and kept pleading.
Surprisingly, the Emperor of the Apocalypse above was not angry and was unusually calm, but this calmness made his heart furious, and he didn't dare to come out even more atmosphericly.
"Summoning Jinyi Wei Qianhu Tian Ergen into the palace."
"Send an edict to Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chuanting, tell them to enter the palace!"
