It was not only Zhou Zheng who felt that the wind and rain were coming, and within two days, the atmosphere in the capital suddenly had a feeling of solidification spreading.

Zhou Qingli came out of the palace late at night and called Zhou Zheng and Zhou Fang, who were asleep.

Zhou Qingli sat on the chair and said with a frown: "I guess, the emperor is going to make a move against Wei Zhongxian." ”

Zhou Zheng looked as usual, it was already November, and Zhu Youzhen had endured it for more than two months, and it was almost time.

Zhou Fang looked slightly startled, opened his mouth, and stopped talking.

Wei Zhongxian and the eunuchs, these three years have brought extremely deep fear to the entire Ming scholars, and this fear is only found in the Chengzu period.

Donglin was almost slaughtered, the blood flowed like a river, the corpses were piled up in the prison, Qingliu was overwhelmed, and no one dared to offend the eunuchs!

Eunuch party, inside the palace, outside the control of the imperial court, inside and outside the capital, from civil officials to military generals, north and south of the river, everywhere are eunuch people, eunuch party, control the entire Ming Dynasty!

This kind of power is unprecedented!

Can the new emperor really deal with it? How sure are you?

Zhou Fang didn't say anything, Zhou Qingli also understood his worries, pondered for a moment, and said: "The British Duke has already commanded all the soldiers and horses in the capital, Luo Yangxing and the brocade guards have already protected the entire Forbidden City, and the king's ministers over there in Jiliao have also received the holy decree, and they should respond at any time just in case, there should be no problem." ”

Zhou Zheng nodded lightly, the apocalypse had prevented certain things before he died, and he had made sufficient arrangements, and Zhu Youzhen had been testing for more than two months, so he should have been very well prepared.

What's more, Wei Zhongxian also has no ability to rebel, and few people in the eunuch party will follow him to rebel.

The Ming Dynasty is not only a system of checks and balances, but also 'the emperor and the scholars share the world', and the scholars will not tolerate a eunuch usurping the country.

Therefore, no matter what aspect it is, Wei Zhongxian has no possibility of success. Besides, Wei Zhongxian is afraid that he has not yet usurped the throne.

After Zhou Qingli finished speaking, seeing Zhou Zheng thoughtfully, he said, "Zhengyun, what do you think?" ”

Zhou Zheng didn't think about it and said: "The eunuch party is too powerful, and it still needs to be done step by step, don't pursue one step at a time." ”

The eunuch tree has deep roots, and if it is uprooted all at once, the impact on the Ming Dynasty will be extraordinary.

"What about the others?" Zhou Qingli didn't care about this, and looked at Zhou Zheng and asked.

Zhou Zheng was stunned, then realized, shook his head and said, "No." ”

Zhou Qingli glanced at him deeply and said, "For the rest of the time, be quiet and don't make any extraneous branches." ”

Zhou Fang nodded with a smile, he had been in Dali Temple for some days, and he knew the chaos and horror of the imperial court.

Zhou Zheng also nodded.

Zhou Qingli was still a little worried, but she didn't say much.

On the second day, the government and the opposition, which had been boiling, suddenly quieted down.

Suddenly quiet!

People who know the inside story have panicked eyes, panicked hearts, joy, and anticipation.

Those who don't know are even more flustered, like headless flies scurrying around, panicking all day long.

In the seventh year of the Apocalypse, the second day of the eleventh month.

The Qianqing Palace, which has always been quiet, suddenly issued an order and ordered Wei Zhongxian to go to Fengyang to guard the spirit.

The Zhu family's hometown is Fengyang, which is also the ancestral land.

It stands to reason that this order is nothing, and it is normal for eunuchs to keep their spirits, but when you think about it, it's different.

If you are guarding the spirit, the apocalypse has just been buried, you should keep the spirit in Beijing, and if it is not good, you will go to Nanjing to keep the spirit of Taizu, go to Fengyang, what kind of spirit to keep?

The order of the Qianqing Palace was very strict, asking Wei Zhongxian to set off on the same day.

Before the eunuchs had time to react, Wei Zhongxian left Beijing with dozens of internal prison attendants and more than a dozen carriages.

Coming out of the 'Chitose Mansion', more than a dozen luxury carriages drove slowly on Chang'an Avenue, with dozens of sturdy guards on both sides.

Wei Zhongxian didn't know where to sit, even if he didn't show up, the convoy was still majestic and magnificent.

There were many people on the side of the road, pointing and whispering, but no one could hear what they were saying.

In some hidden corners, I don't know how many people are watching.

Wei Zhongxian is the first eunuch and powerful minister today, and his every move has a significant impact on the government and the opposition.

His departure also touched the hearts of countless people.

Even if you don't talk about the adults of the Six Cabinets, I'm afraid that the Qianqing Palace is now staring at Wei Zhongxian's slightest move.

Zhou Zheng stood side by side with Wei Xizhuang and Meng Hezhou on the second floor of a teahouse, watching Wei Zhongxian's motorcade slowly pass through the street.

Meng Hezhou has always been silent, and seeing that Wei Zhongxian was still so swaggering at this time, he turned to Zhou Zheng and said: "Master Zhou, this Wei eunuch may not be too ignorant. ”

Zhou Zheng nodded lightly and said, "He should be used to it, and he doesn't realize the seriousness of this." ”

Wei Zhongxian did this, perhaps because of his personality or habit, but in Zhu Youzhen's opinion, he didn't take him seriously at all.

If someone adds fuel and vinegar to the impeachment of Wei Zhongxian, according to Zhu Youzhen's temperament, even if Wei Zhongxian doesn't do so much, the end will not be good.

Wei Xizhuang's expression was somewhat awkward, and he said, "I heard that there are many people outside Beijing, at least fifty-six, escorting him to Fengyang Mansion." ”

Zhou Zhengdao: "Look at it, those who smell the smell will soon pounce." ”

Even now, Wei Xizhuang couldn't believe that Wei Zhongxian was about to fall, and hesitated: "The emperor only let nine thousand years old go to guard the spirit, shouldn't it?" ”

Zhou Zhengdao: "As for whether it is not, one looks at Tianxin, and the other looks at public opinion, Tianxin doesn't care first, do you think that public opinion will let Wei Zhongxian go?" ”

The so-called 'public opinion' refers to Shilin, and the devastated Shilin will tear Wei Zhongxian apart!

Wei Xizhuang now has a hard time in his heart, looking at Wei Zhongxian's carriage, his expression is very complicated.

Zhou Zheng patted him on the shoulder and didn't say much.

Wei Zhongxian's departure from Beijing was very sudden for many people, his position in Daming was very special, and with his departure, the court situation, which was gradually chaotic, suddenly quieted down.

No one impeached Wei Zhongxian anymore, and no one bit the eunuchs. The eunuchs even died down, pretending to be deaf and dumb.

But in just five days, Henan Provincial Inspector Yu Shi Qi played at the beginning, saying that Wei Zhongxian had raised dozens of outlaws along the way, and the officials along the road knelt down and said 'nine thousand years old', without exception, the momentum was huge, and it was better than before.

As soon as this recital came out, it instantly detonated the court, and countless people wrote to impeach Wei Zhongxian, accusing him of 'ill-intentioned and unholy'.

I don't know how many people have figured out their intentions, followed the trend, and the government and the opposition have all impeached Wei Zhongxian, and none of them have refuted it.

The eunuchs died down, and the atmosphere did not dare to breathe, and they were all waiting and watching.

Zhou Qingli came out of the palace with a tired face, and urgently called Zhou Zheng and Zhou Fang into the study.

Zhou Qingli didn't talk nonsense, and said directly: "The emperor just summoned Luo Yangxing and asked him to take someone to personally escort Wei Zhongxian back to Beijing for interrogation. ”

Zhou Fang looked startled and said, "It's only been a few days, the emperor is too anxious, right?" ”

Although the three fathers and sons all knew that the emperor would make a move on Wei Zhongxian, Wei Zhongxian had only been away from Beijing for a few days, and the emperor couldn't wait? In the capital, there are still so many eunuchs, aren't you afraid of them messing around?

Zhou Zheng understood that Wei Zhongxian's departure from Beijing made Zhu Youzhen sure that Wei Zhongxian did not threaten his strength, and he endured it for more than two months, but he couldn't help it.

Zhou Qingli took a sip of tea and said, "It's almost ready, the emperor also met Yuanfu, and before I left, I heard the word 'against the party'." ”

Zhou Zheng knew in his heart that Zhu Youzhen was afraid that he was already ready, not only to ask Jinyiwei to arrest Wei Zhongxian, but also to clean up the eunuchs in the imperial court.

'Opposing the party' is not the Donglin Party that was convicted before, but the eunuch party!

Zhou Fang was not stupid, he heard clearly, but he still said uneasily: "Dad, is it really okay?" ”

The strength of the eunuch party is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people at this time, and the new emperor who succeeded to the throne at the age of sixteen has only been in the palace for two months, can he really cut off the eunuchs all over the Ming Dynasty so easily?
