Chapter 518: First Meeting
Zhongguan Village, a mass grave next to the Wanquan River in the western suburbs of Beijing, is gloomy and inhumane on weekdays, and there is not a single wild dog, even the nearby farmers are far away, because they all know that what is buried here is the rootless duckweed in the palace, the eunuch!
Eunuchs, the lowest category of people in the eyes of secular people, cannot enter the ancestral grave after death, and they are lonely ghosts who cannot recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors for the rest of their lives!
Indeed, they are a very pitiful group.
The weather was as sunny as ever, and the mass graves in Zhongguan Village were as gloomy as ever, but there were more people around, many people, and a few miles away, mostly farmers near the people in the city.
A barren beach in the mass grave gang dug half a hundred graves newly dug pit, there is a stone carving monument in front of the grave, the book: Ming Neiguan Heroic Martyrs' Mausoleum, Chongzhen Emperor Imperial Gift!
The martyrs' cemetery built for the internal officials, the emperor's imperial gift, and the entry into the Ming Dynasty martyrs, which undoubtedly makes the great glory for the eunuchs, although the death is still honorable, but it is not here, compared to those next to the name, and even only insert a wooden strip as a monument The grave is simply a world of difference, from treatment to reputation are not a grade!
Chang Yu stood in front of the monument, stretched out his hand to caress the stone tablet, his hand was cold, and he turned to look at the more than 200 eunuch troops behind him: "The world looks down on us, and now the brothers have won the glory with their lives, we should cherish it." After a hundred years, will you leave your name in this martyr's mausoleum, or be buried in that mass grave waiting for wild dogs to bite the corpse, touch the heart on the chest, and touch the knife on the waist! ”
The more than 200 eunuch soldiers were in a difficult mood, most of them were teary-eyed, and the tough guys who didn't blink their eyelids when they came over with a sea of swords and fires couldn't stand it at this time.
In addition to grief, they are more of a long-suppressed emotion, and they are no longer a lowly waste, but also an upright hero.
Thirty rings of fire, the eunuch army mourned silently, the ashes of the heroes who died in the battle were put into the ground, their own craftsmen set up a monument according to their names, Chang Yu beat his horse and galloped to the front of the onlookers and shouted, "These eunuchs are all heroes who died in the battle to defend the Ming Dynasty, they are the wasted people in your eyes, the lowly people, but when the thieves attacked the city, when the Tartars invaded, it was these people who defended the country with their lives, so that you and others lived and worked in peace and contentment, and those so-called superior scholars were either listening to music in the theater, or prostituting prostitutes in the Qinglou for fun, or they talked about the government and government in the teahouse, I'm phew! ”
"Defending the family and the country depends on the literati playing some lip service, and relying on the hot-blooded youth of those Ming men in the army! It relies on the knife in the hands of the Ming soldiers! ”
"Those who dare to use a knife to kill the enemy and defend the country are heroes, those who can only play tricks with a pen in their hands are fucking cowards, except for forming a party for personal gain, telling right and wrong, black and white are reversed, and disaster to the country and the people is not p, just TMD shameless goods......"
Chang Yu scolded with his voice, so that the onlookers talked about it, his words were not rough, his words were straightforward, the people were easy to understand, some people felt that what he said was very reasonable, and they couldn't help but applaud, and some people whispered to ask who this person was, as if he was a eunuch, so scolding the literati, he was not afraid of being sprayed to death by those scholars.
And some people are wondering if he is the little overseer of Dongchang who has become famous recently.
Chang Yu's scolding of the scholars in the mass graves in the western suburbs soon spread all over the capital, becoming the biggest headline of the day, the streets and alleys, teahouses and restaurants are all talking, and the street pawns are best brainwashed, thinking that the eunuchs who go into battle with knives are not bloody, they are a man, and as for the scholars, they have already begun to spray the internal officials and a slave are also worthy of pointing fingers...... The matter became more and more fermented, and after noon, officials from the cabinet and the Hanlin Academy were discussing the matter, implying that Wei Zhongxian's Dongchang remnants wanted to attack the civilian clique.
It's just that after many years of suppression by Dongchang, the civil official group has long been dominant, covering the sky with one hand, otherwise Emperor Chongzhen can be forced to issue his own edict three times and several times, and hide in the Qianqing Palace when no one is around, but there is nothing to do.
This dead eunuch is shameless, and he wants to point fingers at civil officials with a little military exploits? Wei Zhongxian didn't point at the civil official's nose so arrogantly back then, how old are you, and if there is no civil official behind the scenes to help you, you can win so easily? I just thought you were a good person, but in the blink of an eye, you showed your fangs!
Scholars began to counterattack public opinion.
"It's just a rumor spread falsely, it is definitely someone who deliberately stirs up right and wrong to sow discord" When Li Mingrui in Duanben Palace told the prince about this matter, Zhu Cihong took the case and angrily reprimanded the rumors at this time: "He is busy dealing with bandits, and he has always been low-key, and he will never be so open-mouthed, it must be those who have a gap with him who deliberately create rumors in an attempt to put him in the whirlpool."
Li Mingrui nodded slightly, he is Zhu Cihong's confidant, he is more familiar with Chang Yu than the foreign ministers, and knows that this is a master who makes a fortune with a muffled voice, likes to make trouble behind his back, and rarely shows his face, and he does have a holiday with many nobles, it cannot be ruled out that someone deliberately splashed dirty water to create trouble.
These people can't wait to let him be ruined, Zhu Cihong gritted his teeth and said, but he cheered in his heart,, and scolded happily, he naturally knew that Chang Yu had done this.
"A bunch of nonsense"
In the Imperial Palace, Chongzhen shouted angrily: "It's just planting blame, do you believe it?" ”
His Royal Highness's cabinet Li Banghua, the left capital of the imperial history Shi Bangyao, the right attendant of the military department and the governor of the Beijing camp Wang Jiayan, and the horse commander Gong Yonggu and other important ministers have different expressions.
Emperor Chongzhen originally summoned a few people to discuss the matter, but in the middle of the court, the imperial historian Qiu Zude mentioned this matter, which immediately caused a lot of discussion in the court, and Emperor Chongzhen was furious when he heard this.
"Chang Yu is my internal official, he has always been able to be low-key, when he has opened his teeth and danced his claws, in addition to hearsay, which of the ministers has seen it with his own eyes and heard it with his own ears, not to mention that he has strongly recommended you to help the Ming Dynasty, how can he insult the ministers! If he really hates you, why should he recommend it! ”
Emperor Chongzhen's words made Li Banghua and others feel a little at ease, although they didn't believe it all, but think about it, several people in the palace are all important ministers of the dynasty, but eight or nine times out of ten are Chang Yu secretly recommended by the prince and Gong Yonggu to Emperor Chongzhen and ascend to the throne, which they have heard some rumors about.
But now there are thousands of onlookers in the western suburbs, so it won't be groundless.
Although Li Banghua and others have a hostile attitude towards internal officials, especially Dongchang, they are not very repulsive to Chang Yu, first, Chang Yu is low-key, and has never had a confrontation with them head-on, secondly, he has a few people in the upper position and he is behind the scenes, third, Chang Yu has made great achievements, Taiyuan retreated from the enemy, and the enemy was defeated outside the border, and anyone could not take it out.
But if Dongchang really wants to take Wei Zhongxian's hostile route again, they will not be intimidated, and the small young leaves that have just sprouted want to compete with the towering trees that have been around for decades?
"These rumors must be mentioned again, all of you are important ministers of the country, and your mind should be on the affairs of the state, and now that the famine is continuous, and the thief army is raging, you should work together with me to deal with this natural and man-made disaster, instead of being deceived by others, and practicing the argument of the tongue."
Emperor Chongzhen's attitude is clear and tough to suppress this matter, although Li Banghua and others are a little unwilling, but it is not good, after all, it is just hearsay, no one present has seen Chang Yu scolding the street, if he continues to investigate, it will seem stingy, not to mention that Emperor Chongzhen has been much tougher in terms of wrist and attitude than in the past, and they dare not be tough.
Scolding is good, scolding is happy, Chang Yu, Chang Yu, you can scold what I want to scold, all those who dare not scold are scolded, useless are scholars, literati can be killed if they mislead the country and are useless! Emperor Chongzhen looked at His Royal Highness, and felt very relieved in his heart.
Wang Chengen hurriedly came in from outside the hall and whispered a few times in Emperor Chongzhen's ear, but when he saw Emperor Chongzhen raise his eyebrows, he glanced at the ministers and whispered, and Wang Chengen left in a hurry.
"Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao, Chang Yu is an internal official, your name must be familiar to you, but you haven't seen a few, it's better to choose a day than to hit the day, and now the big guy has been in phase and knows each other." Emperor Chongzhen looked at His Royal Highness, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
Sure enough, the ministers in the palace fluctuated and talked in low voices, obviously an accident, but Gong Yonggu looked like a breeze and the water could not wave.
Chang Yu was also unexpected, after returning to the city in the afternoon, he asked to see Emperor Chongzhen and reciprocate, but was brought to the Emperor's Palace, as soon as he came in to see four or five courtiers, his heart was strange, and he looked up to see Emperor Chongzhen's expression, this is ready to push me to the front of the curtain to block the cannon hole, in recent days, Emperor Chongzhen and Dongchang have joined forces to make several small changes that have already attracted the attention and dissatisfaction of the cabinet, and there is news that they are ready to beat Emperor Chongzhen.
I have long heard that the new factory of Dongchang is a little eunuch who is not as weak as the crown, and now he is really a child at first sight, but his expression is extraordinary, his physique is strong, and his momentum is amazing, and people dare not look directly at it.
Chang Yu's birth was completely unprepared for these bigwigs, and suddenly I heard that the emperor appointed a eunuch who went to Taiyuan to deliver silver as the governor of Dongchang, what, Dongchang restarted?
Immediately, the little eunuch won the battle in Taiyuan, and then tossed the nobles in Beijing a lot, and then went out of the customs again, and won the battle again......
I don't know where it suddenly appeared, and every time I hear its deeds, it's like listening to a book, and it's like a god.
But now such a person suddenly stood in front of him, looking at the momentum really like that.
Is it the young man in front of him, who defeated hundreds of thousands of thieves in Taiyuan and beat Li Zicheng with his head and running away, is it Ning Yuan's greatest victory that he has teamed up with Wu Sangui outside the customs for several years?
Emperor Chongzhen introduced the ministers to Chang Yu one by one, and the little eunuch bowed his hand to give a salute without humility, and the ministers were not very happy with the novelty, but they did not show it outside, and they returned the courtesy politely.
The only person, Qing Gao self-love vows not to be a minister in the same hall as a eunuch, is the horse captain Gong Yonggu, who does not look at Chang Yu with his eyes, and snorts coldly, with a disdainful look.
All the ministers praised Ma Ye in their hearts, and secretly observed the reaction of the little eunuch, but saw that although he tried to control his emotions, he was smiling but could not hide the murderous aura in his eyes, after all, he was still a young man, and he couldn't look restrained.
Emperor Chongzhen scolded Gong Yonggu for being rude, and when the horse commander saw the emperor's anger, he nodded to the little eunuch and whispered: "Just now these old things are accusing you of scolding the street."
"We will listen to them when we scold them, but don't be careful, you are a loyal minister who is loyal to the king and loves the people, and our family did not scold you." Chang Yu squeezed out a low voice from between his teeth.
"Scolding happily, I still want to scold" Gong Yonggu whispered, outsiders looked at him and the little eunuch with a sneering look and whispered, guessing that these two people definitely don't deal with each other, I don't know how Dongchang offended this royal family, but then again, the little eunuch offended the nobleman!
