As the sun slowly rises from the clouds in the northeast, the bells and drums beat outside the noon gate. An errand man walked slowly to the door of the main hall and shouted loudly to the minister who was already frozen outside: "Xuan".

The Minister of Civil and Military Affairs seemed to have just woken up from a dream, moved his frozen legs, lined up to enter from the left and right sides of the noon gate, crossed the Jinshui Bridge, and lined up on both sides of the Taihe Gate according to their grades.

At the front of the civil officials was Liu Yixian, a scholar of the first auxiliary university of the cabinet, and at the front of the military attaché was the British minister Zhang Weixian.

Everyone came to the main hall and stood still, waiting for the arrival of the emperor, and their hearts seemed to have taken a reassuring pill. The emperor has been ill for a long time, and he has not been in the early dynasty, but now, he is finally getting better.

At this moment, Zhu Youxiao was sitting in the warm pavilion, listening to the sound of bells and drums outside, and his heart was also agitated.

However, he was still not ready to go to the court. Because of the meaninglessness of the current early dynasty, Daming has reached the point where he is now, and there is not much he can do, so he simply let Wei Zhongxian take the front and be a real carpenter emperor by himself.

The civil and military ministers in the hall were looking forward to it, but they didn't see the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and the whole hall fell into a mysterious silence, quite a bit of mountain rain was about to come and the wind was full of buildings.

"Emperor, civil and military officials are waiting." Wang An didn't wait for the emperor, he was anxious, and he came to warm the pavilion under the pretext of the excuse, and saw that Chen Hong was beating the emperor's shoulder.

"I'm suddenly tired." Zhu Youxiao felt dizzy for a while, so he made an excuse and sent Wang An away.

This time, the early dynasty collapsed because of the inertia of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and the people of the Donglin Party were a little panicked, not knowing what their own emperor meant.

Zhu Youxiao kept pacing back and forth in the warm pavilion, he didn't know how he could repair this dynasty.

He only remembered that a lot of things happened in the first year of the Apocalypse, that is, in this year, Houjin rose, Shenyang was lost, and almost all the three eastern provinces fell into the hands of Houjin. Since then, the Houjin and the Ming Dynasty have started a twenty-year war, and the Ming Dynasty has completely entered the countdown to its demise from this year.

At this time, the Ming Dynasty is the building will fall, full of holes, although it knows that it must be reformed, but no matter where it moves, the involvement is very huge.

A few years ago, Fang Congzhe, the first assistant of the cabinet, had been impeached many times by Sun Shenxing, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and others, and Fang Congzhe took the initiative to resign.

What does the impeachment of the leader of the Chu Party by a senior member of the Donglin Party mean? Obviously, the Donglin Party can't hold it back.

This Donglin Party is not as simple as it seems, they want to take advantage of the young Emperor of the Apocalypse and his ignorance of the situation in the DPRK and China, quickly cut through the chaos, and further increase their control over the imperial court.

The current cabinet chief assistant scholar is Liu Yixiu, and this person can't do it for long, because it is impossible for the people of the Donglin Party to let Liu Yixiu be the first assistant, and they will pull Fang Congzhe down from the first place, but not to let Liu Yixiu pick up cheap. They were ready to let Ye Xianggao, the boss of the Donglin Party, be the first assistant of the cabinet, but at this time, Zhu Youxiao did not need Ye Xianggao to be the first assistant.

Ye Xianggao can be said to be a heavyweight in the original Apocalypse era. Among the Donglin Party, the most courageous is Yang Lian, and the smartest is this Brother Ye Xianggaoren.

As a well-known old slippery head who has been in the officialdom for decades, Ye Xianggao's arrival marks the heyday of the Donglin Party.

The Donglin Party is very good at making a fuss about the prince, and he is very good at fooling the prince.

Whether it was his cheap dad who hung up after being the emperor for a month, or his younger brother Chongzhen who hanged himself as the king of the dead country, they were all fooled and stupid by the Donglin Party.

"Whether I'm doing it right or not, it's just not going to go according to history." Zhu Youxiao sighed secretly in his heart, and at the same time, he also planned to train his own manpower.

It's just that the imperial court has serious party disputes, and it is not so easy to cultivate their own manpower. At present, there is only one way, which is simple, convenient and smooth, and that is to cultivate eunuchs.

Gently putting down the teacup in his hand, Zhu Youxiao waved his hand, signaled Chen Hong, who was pinching his shoulder, to step back, and then ordered in a light tone: "Go, bring Wei Zhongxian to me." ”

At this time, although Wei Zhongxian had already received the errand of the celebrant and the eunuch, he was much less powerful, and although he changed back to his original name, he was far from the nine thousand years old of later generations.

Zhu Youxiao wants to use it, and this person is naturally the first choice. If Wei Zhongxian is promoted, he will naturally tear up with those Donglin Party and Qizhechu Party. There are some things that are not easy for me to do as an emperor, but Wei Zhongxian is just right.

"Yes, Emperor!" Chen Hong didn't dare to slack off, nodded hurriedly, bowed and retreated. He was puzzled, but he didn't dare to show the slightest slack on his face.

After a while, Wei Zhongxian bowed in from outside, lay on the ground and kowtowed, "Slave and maid see the emperor!" ”

Zhu Youxiao nodded, leaned back on the couch, looked at Wei Zhongxian and said with a smile: "I know that you are a talented person, and I have always known how to make good use of people. I heard that Mrs. Fengsheng's body has not been very good for a while, and the imperial doctor in the palace has seen it a few times and there is nothing she can do. I heard that you are a skilled doctor outside the palace, since this is the case, it is better for you to go and show it to Madame Fengsheng. ”

The so-called Mrs. Fengsheng is actually Kebaba - this woman is Zhu Youxiao's nurse, a very famous figure in history, of course, a bad reputation.

There are various legends, some say that Wei Zhongxian and Kebaba became the confidants and frequent companions of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and taught him to enjoy the pleasures of the room; Some lobbyists colluded with Wei Zhongxian to abuse power, and in order to consolidate their position, they brutalized the pregnant concubines in the harem, so as not to threaten her status when the concubine gave birth to a child, and even killed the concubine in the queen's womb.

How much of it was splashed with dirty water, and how much of it was true, Zhu Youxiao didn't know.

However, Zhu Youxiao knows one thing, that is, Wei Zhongxian's collusion with Kebaba is true, and Kebaba is indeed unscrupulous, ambitious and powerful in the harem. Her son Hou Guoxing, her younger brother Ke Guangxian, and Wei Zhongxian's brother Wei Zhao are all thousands of households in brocade.

I don't care if the Emperor of the Apocalypse has messy things with Kebaba, but this woman is very prone to causing potential danger, and he is not prepared to spare her life.

Moreover, according to the regulations of the Ming Dynasty, when the prince is six years old, the nurse must leave the palace, but this guest does not leave, and he has been mixed for more than ten years, and his purpose is self-evident.

Wei Zhongxian wants to use it, but he can't have a guest to fan the flames, and he can't let Wei Zhongxian get rid of the cronies and eunuchs around him, such as Wang An and others.

There are countless eunuchs in the palace, and there are countless people who are jealous of this position, and he Emperor Tianqi wants to tell everyone that he not only likes Wang An, but also reuses Wang An, and Wang An's position is very stable.

For the eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youxiao still has some understanding, when you are powerful and powerful, these people will definitely desperately slap you, and when you lose power, these people must be the most ruthless.
