Zhu Youduan stood at the door of the Qianqing Palace, looking at the white palace outside the Qianqing Palace. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The temperature in the first month is very low, and the heavy snow more than ten days ago has not melted, and the golden glazed gold tiles are all covered with white snow at this time, making the entire Forbidden City look sacred and solemn.

But this solemn atmosphere is quite consistent with what the Son of Heaven wants to do today.

In the Qianqing Palace, all the brocade guards standing guard at this time have been removed. Instead, there were dozens of Dongchang fans wearing cyanotic pleats.

Dongchang Fanzi was not a eunuch, and his personnel were actually transferred from the Jinyi Wei system at first. It's just that these Fanzi are the most loyal to the royal family, and they are commanded by Wang Dehua, the eunuch of Dongchang, and other eunuchs in the palace.

In the past two years, in order to expand the power of the East Factory, Chongzhen also asked Wang Dehua to recruit good sons from the people to be elected to the East Factory. Wang Dehua has recruited a lot of people over the years. Therefore, a considerable number of Dongchang fans have nothing to do with Jinyiwei even in their origins.

If Jinyiwei, as a military minister, will hook up with civil officials, Dongchang Fanzi, as a minister, is always in the hands of Zhu Youzhen, the son of heaven.

Zhu Youzhen looked at the Dongchang fan beside him, and had an unprecedented sense of security. Taking a breath, Zhu Youzhen was a little more determined about what he was going to do.

"Wang Dehua! Are your people ready? ”

Wang Dehua knelt down and replied: "Holy Lord, rest assured, 1,600 fans are ready. As long as the saint enters Cao Bianjiao's big tent, the eunuchs of Dongchang will lead Dongchang Fanzi to control the main gates of the Forbidden City and replace all the Jinyi guards. ”

What Zhu Youzhen wants to do today is to replace all the brocade guards in the Forbidden City.

The commander of the Jinyi Guard of the Chongzhen Dynasty was Luo Yangxing. This person actually inherited his father's position, his father's name was Luo Sigong, and he had a close relationship with the Donglin Party. After Wei Zhongxian took power in the late Tianqi Dynasty, Wei Zhongxian immediately took away Luo Sigong's brocade guard.

After Zhu Youzhen ascended the throne at the age of eighteen, he once suspected that Wei Zhongxian was going to poison him, and even found a eunuch holding an aphrodisiac rosemary in the palace wall. Later, Zhu Youzhen, at the instigation of the Donglin Party, handled a very influential reverse case and closed the eunuch party. At that time, Luo Yangxing, as a child of the Luo family who was pro-Donglin Party, was pushed to the position of the commander of Jinyi Wei by the "sages" of the Donglin Party.

Such a history has completely turned Jinyiwei, who was originally the eyes and ears of the Son of Heaven, into a tool of civil officials. Jin Yiwei has never investigated the Donglin Party's self-interest and corruption. Not only that, Luo Yang's treatment of Zhu Youzhen is to uphold a procrastination. The information that should have been investigated by Jinyiwei will not reach Zhu Youzhen's desk for several months without delay.

Because of this, Zhu Youzhen knows very little about the intelligence of the world. So much so that he had to read Li Zhi's "Tianjin Daily" in order to settle the people's livelihood and people's feelings.

Of course, if it is just like this, Zhu Youzhen can still tolerate Luo's cultivation.

The problem is because of Luo Yang's sex and a pair of civilian officials, Zhu Youzhen already feels that the Forbidden City is full of murderous opportunities.

In the fourteenth year of Chongzhen, Zhu Youzhen supported Li Zhishan to run a newspaper against the Manchu civil officials, and as a result, a mute man rushed to the Qianqing Palace with a wooden stick. In the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, the civil officials privately transferred the Guan Ning army to crusade against Li Zhi, and returned defeated, after which Li Zhi asked to deal with Zhou Yanru, Liu Zongzhou and other culprits, Zhu Youzhen agreed to Li Zhi's request against the Manchu civil and military, but in less than three days, Yuan Guifei suddenly died.

The palace gates and peripheral key places of the Forbidden City are guarded by brocade guards. These two things happened, if it is said that Jinyiwei did not collude with civil officials, Zhu Youzhen was the first to disbelieve.

In the original history, Zhu Youzhen was always forbearant of civilian officials and indifferent to the Donglin Party's control of Jinyiwei. So much so that the Jinyi guard became a sentry for civil officials, so much so that Zhu Youzhen took Wang Chengen to hang himself on the coal mountain, and there was no Jinyi guard by his side.

But history has changed because of Li Zhi's crossing.

The rise of Li Zhi made Zhu Youzhen more and more worried about the weakness of the center of the Ming court. In the face of Li Zhi's challenge, Zhu Youzhen had to strengthen the strength of the central government, so he spent a huge amount of money to arm and train 80,000 new troops.

However, it was not enough to have 80,000 new troops outside the Forbidden City, and what Zhu Youzhen urgently needed was to expel the power of civilian officials from the Forbidden City and truly control his own security.

If the commander of the Jinyi Guard is removed and Luo Yangxing is replaced, the Jinyi Guard trained by Luo Yangxing in the past ten years is still there, and the newly appointed commander will not be able to control the entire Jinyi Guard system for a while, and there is likely to be turmoil. Luo Yangxing is a pawn of the Donglin Party, if the Donglin Party feels that the Son of Heaven is about to break away from the control of the civil officials, the dog jumps over the wall in a hurry, and I don't know how big the basket will come out.

The method chosen by Zhu Youzhen was to use the more loyal Dongchang Fanzi to replace all the brocade guards in the Forbidden City at one time, completely eliminating the possibility of chaos.

But this matter is not so easy, the brocade guards have guarded the Forbidden City for hundreds of years, and their power in the palace is deep-rooted. After the two incidents of entering the palace with a stick and Yuan Guifei's violent death, Zhu Youzhen suddenly replaced all the brocade guards, and Luo Yangxing of course understood that Zhu Youzhen did not trust him at all. As long as Luo Yangxing's IQ is normal, he will understand that the day Jin Yiwei is removed is the time when his Luo Yangxing's head moves.

Therefore, Zhu Youzhen made such a big move and couldn't stay in the palace, Zhu Youzhen had to prevent Luo Yang's recklessness and make irreparable things.

If it was the former Zhu Youzhen, he might not really have the determination to resist the civilian forces to remove Jinyiwei. But now Zhu Youjian has 80,000 new troops on his hands. These new armies controlled the inner gates of the capital, and they were a force that Zhu Youzhen could rely on.

Therefore, when Wang Dehua was ordered to remove the Jinyi Guard, Zhu Youzhen wanted to enter the Cao Changjiao tent in Beijing.

This matter has not been told to any outsiders, and it is completely a surprise operation.

Looking at the dozens of tall Dongchang fans selected around, Zhu Youzhen nodded and said, "Okay! Out of the palace and into the Beijing camp. ”

Zhu Youzhen asked the fans to hold the honor guard of the Son of Heaven that should have been held by the Jinyi Wei Qing, and left the Qianqing Palace surrounded by Wang Dehua and Wang Chengen, and hurriedly went to Donghua Gate.

Outside the capital, Cao Bianjiao, who was stationed at Chaoyangmen, had already gotten the news and was just waiting for the Son of Heaven to enter the camp.

However, things did not go so smoothly. As soon as Zhu Youzhen walked near the Donghua Gate guarded by the Jinyi guard, the Jinyi guard on the city tower was shocked. Without waiting for Zhu Youzhen's team to leave the palace gate, several Jinyi Wei Zongqi hurriedly ran outside the palace, obviously to report the news.

The Son of Heaven does not make a big move, and he is in a hurry, which is obviously a big move.

The Son of Heaven does not use brocade guards, but uses fanzi to hold a simple guard of honor. For the officers of the Jinyi Guard, who are very politically sensitive, this undoubtedly shows that the Son of Heaven is suspicious and abandons the Jinyi Guard.

And Jinyiwei is actually in the hands of the Donglin Party.

To the east is where the Beijing camp is located, and the Son of Heaven wants to enter the Beijing camp? What does the Son of Heaven want to do?

It is necessary for Jinyiwei to immediately report to the Donglin Party Princes.

Zhu Youzhen looked at the general banner of Jinyi Wei who had blatantly violated the rules and regulations and left the palace to report the news, and his face was pale. But what Zhu Youzhen has to do now is just to leave the palace as soon as possible and enter the safest Beijing camp as soon as possible. The brocade guards on the Donghua Gate did not dare to disturb the Son of Heaven, and Zhu Youzhen went directly out of the palace gate, urging the fans to move forward quickly, wanting to rush to Chaoyang Gate as soon as possible.

However, things didn't go so smoothly, and he only walked two miles forward, far from Chaoyang Gate, and Zhu Youzhen was stopped.

Surrounded by dozens of brocade guards, more than a dozen members of the Donglin Party who lived in the east of the city knelt on the road in front of Zhu Youzhen in official robes, blocking Zhu Youzhen's way.

On both sides of the road, there are more Jinyiwei and Donglin Party bigwigs rushing to this side.
