The last court meeting in the year of the Apocalypse was dispersed, and hundreds of officials came out of the palace gate, civil officials sat in sedan chairs, military attaches rode horses, and each went home.

At this time, the sky is already bright, the street is full of pedestrians, and it happens that there is a market on a nearby street today, and the street is full of traders and people who buy and sell New Year's goods, the shouts of the vendors, the bargaining of buyers, the cries of children begging for things and not being able to get them, and the shouts and scolding of mothers...... All kinds of sounds are intertwined into a song, and the breath of life is strong.

Hearing the noisy sound outside the sedan chair, Wu Chunfu, who was sitting in the sedan chair, suddenly remembered that today is the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month, and there are three days before the Spring Festival.

"It's the New Year!" The Ministry of Industry of the Ming Dynasty sighed with emotion, but he remembered the things in the court today.

"Once Gonggong Wei was imprisoned, the situation in the government and the opposition changed, many officials saw the fall of Duke Wei, and the emperor wanted to liquidate the "eunuch party", and he had already begun to see the wind and rudder, and wagged his tail to Donglin's gang and begged for mercy. ”

Wu Chunfu sighed faintly, others can grovel to the Donglin Party, but he can't, for no other reason, just by virtue of his astonishing promotion speed when Wei Zhongxian was in charge of the government, the brand of the eunuch party on his body has been indelible.

Wu Chunfu thought a little unwillingly, the emperor is still too young, although Gonggong Wei is tyrannical and ruthless, but with him, the royal family can have a vicious dog to watch the house! Otherwise, does this Ming dynasty rely on those "clear streams" who are full of mouths for the public, but secretly form parties for personal gain?

Now that the vicious dog of Gonggong Wei has been put in a cage by the emperor, who else can deter Xiaoxiao and stabilize the court? The current court of the Ming Dynasty can't stand the toss, and there is no Sanyang in today's Ming officialdom, no Zhang Juzheng, only Wei Zhongxian is useful!

Although Gonggong Wei has a bad record, as long as he is a killing god, the whole court will be afraid of his methods, afraid of his revenge, and will not be able to turn up any storms, whether he wants to or not, he must contribute to this Ming Dynasty!

Now that the war in Liaodong is erosive, and the customs are not peaceful, the Ming Dynasty does not need to be a peacemaker with muddy now, what is needed is a character who can make a difference! The emperor grew up in the palace since he was a child, where to understand the people's suffering, if he can't see the situation of the court and the general trend of the world, he is deceived by the Donglin Party, let him sit big, and there is no one to check and balance, it will eventually cause a catastrophe......

Wu Chunfu sighed lightly, looking at the scene in the court today, Father-in-law Wei couldn't survive this year. Although he is the royal loyal watchdog, the vicious dog of Gonggong Wei wags his tail and begs for mercy to Emperor Tianqi, not necessarily to the current Holy Emperor Chongzhen, who now wants to eat his dog meat.

Once the son of heaven and a courtier, whether it is the inner court or the outer minister, they can't escape, and the emperor is going to install his own people in the court.

Thinking of this, Wu Chunfu sighed again, the power-leaning Father-in-law Wei is still like this, and his little shrimp, who is following Father-in-law Wei, is probably not able to escape.

Wu Chunfu opened the corner of the sedan curtain, looked at the hustle and bustle on the street, listened to the boiling voices on the street, and muttered: "The court is about to change the sky......

Just when Wu Chunfu was full of emotion, the sedan chair had stopped.

For work, whether ancient or modern, people want to find something to be close to home with less money and more money, so Wu Chunfu, the residence of the Ministry of Works, is not far from the palace.

As soon as the sedan chair man put the sedan chair down, Wu Chunfu saw that the sedan curtain was lifted.

This man was about sixty years old, with a thin build, many folds on his face, a pair of eyes that were old and not faint, a goatee under his chin neatly trimmed, and not an inch of silk on his body, but a cloth robe and robes were clean and clean, and he looked shrewd and capable.

The person who came was Wu Liang, the housekeeper of the house.

Wu Chunfu looked at the housekeeper with a rather uncalm face and asked, "Why are you in such a hurry?" ”

Wu Liang turned around and glanced at the mansion behind him, helped Wu Chunfu get off the sedan chair, and said in a low voice: "Master, there are Jinyiwei and Dongchang's fans at home." ”

Wu Chunfu was stunned when he heard this, and asked, "When did you come?" ”

"It's been a while, less than half an hour after you went to court, people came. Master, what happened to the DPRK? ”

Wu Liang is the old man next to Wu Chunfu, Wu Chunfu trusts him quite a lot, and many political affairs in the court and China do not hide it from him, but now the scene in the court is complicated, and Wu Chunfu couldn't understand him in a few words, so he had to shake his head and ask: "What about Madam?" ”

"Madame and Miss are in the back house, there is no son at home, and the old slave is entertaining them."

Wu Chunfu was silent, nodded, and just before he entered the hospital, he saw a group of people already coming up.

Wu Chunfu fixed his eyes and saw that the person walking in front was a Jinyi Wei Qianhu, dressed in the flying fish suit of Jinyiwei, the flying fish like a dragon and a python, shining brightly by the morning glow, he couldn't see the appearance of the person who came for a while. Wu Chunfu turned sideways slightly, only to find that this person was also followed by a father-in-law wearing a round-brimmed iron hat with a white beard, who thought to be from Dongchang.

When Wu Chunfu saw the situation in front of him, he was apprehensive and a little puzzled at the same time. The factory guards have always been at odds, one of them is the Son of Heaven's army, the other is His Majesty's retainers, and the two always want to compete in front of the emperor.

In recent years, the east and west factories have become more powerful, and Jinyiwei is faintly suspected of becoming a vassal of the two factories, but today it is Jinyiwei's people who take the lead, and the father-in-law of the east factory is supplemented, this kind of scene is very rare.

Wu Chunfu couldn't help but feel worried when he saw the people coming, and looked into the crowd again, there were not many factory guards, it didn't seem that they were going to raid the house, and there was no one in the crowd with shackles and chains, and it didn't seem like he was going to bring himself to justice immediately, Wu Chunfu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The person who came walked up to Wu Chunfu, the Jinyi Wei Qianhu hugged his fists and said: "Lord Wu, Shen Lian in the lower Jinyi Wei Qianhu has been waiting for a long time under the emperor's order. ”

Wu Chunfu hurriedly returned the salute and said: "The government affairs of the DPRK and China are busy, and the court has just dispersed. Saying that, he stretched out an arm, made a gesture of invitation, and said: "There are rudeness to entertain guests outside the door, let's enter the hospital and talk in detail, please!" ”

Shen Lian smiled slightly, waved his hand and said, "No need, you can't delay something important!" ”

The look on Wu Chunfu's face stiffened slightly, but Shen Lian turned a blind eye and said: "Lord Wu, get straight to the point, the emperor ordered us to co-organize the case of eunuchs, Lord Wu and Gonggong Wei have a great relationship, I came here this time to inform Lord Wu, and some cases still need Lord Wu's cooperation." ”

Wu Chunfu's face turned pale, and he said strongly: "I don't know anything about the eunuch case, the matter between Father-in-law Wei and me is purely out of nowhere, I-"

Shen Lian interrupted: "Lord Wu, whether it has anything to do with entering our Jinyiwei's edict is known, Lord Wu, please!" ”

Wu Chunfu wanted to say more, but Shen Lian didn't give him a chance to speak, and said in a stiff tone: "Lord Wu, don't argue, we came this time to act on the emperor's orders and put you in shuanggui." As he spoke, he took out a document from his arms and handed it to Wu Chunfu.

The document is very short, only five short words: "Wu Chunfu, Shuanggui." ”

Although Wu Chunfu's heart was full of turmoil, he couldn't help but ask: "Shuanggui? ”

Shen Lian explained: "What Shuanggui says is to explain some problems at the specified time and place. The emperor said with two fingers, and explained the problem at the designated time and place. It's just that the emperor's designation is naturally stipulated in our place. Please, Lord Wu, you are a decent person, don't let us rough people use force, there are many people on the street, and it will not be a good thing for Sven to sweep the floor at that time. ”
