Things were just as Li Hongyu had predicted, and that night, the young chamberlain who had made Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou and others able to enter the Qianqing Gate under the false message of Empress Li was now hanged in a remote room in the harem.

According to the suicide note left by the chamberlain, he didn't want to see the usually unscrupulous Empress Li take advantage of Zhu Youxiao's youth to abuse her power, hang the curtain in the court to listen to the government, and then mislead the country and the people, so he risked his death to falsely pass on Empress Li's dictate and put Yang Lian and Zuo Guangdou and other upright and loyal ministers into the palace to protect Zhu Youxiao.

Knowing the depth of his sin, the young chamberlain chose to commit suicide as a token of thanksgiving.

With the death of the young chamberlain, the case of the Donglin Party breaking into the palace has become more confusing, and the young chamberlain has played an extremely important role in this case.

Li Hongyu can be sure that the reason why the young chamberlain rushed to the Qianqing Gate "in time" is not an accident, the ten ** has long been hiding near the Qianqing Gate to observe the situation at the scene, and now the strong hundred households appeared when they were about to close the palace gate and pretended to pass on Empress Li's message.

Because the situation was too chaotic at that time, and the young chamberlain was someone from Empress Li's side, the sturdy hundred households of Long Xiangwei would not suspect that it was fake at all, and then made a big mistake.

As for Chen Shun, the eunuch of the imperial horse eunuch, he was carried back to the Forbidden City from a restaurant in the inner city in the afternoon of the day of the palace invasion, and it turned out that he met a Jiangnan businessman in that teahouse at noon to discuss the business of the imperial horse supervisor.

The reason why the eunuchs of the imperial horse eunuch were able to compete with the eunuchs of the palm print of the celebrant and the eunuch of the pen was because of the unique functions of the imperial eunuch.

In the history of the Ming Dynasty, the Imperial Horse Supervisor was a yamen that shared the military power of the Ming Dynasty with the Ministry of War and the Governor's Office of the Five Armies.

Not only that, the Imperial Horse Supervisor also managed the royal pasture and the imperial village, operated the imperial store, managed the finances with the households, and was in charge of the emperor's inner treasury, which was regarded as the "internal steward" of the Ming Dynasty.

It is worth mentioning that the West Factory, which was set up twice, was also supervised by the eunuch of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, which can be said to be in opposition to the East Factory of the Celebrant Supervisor.

In fact, the Imperial Horse Supervisor was not only directly responsible for mobilizing the troops of the Long Xiang Guard and the Tiger Guard, but also participated in the management of the pro-military capital to protect the palace, which made the Imperial Horse Supervisor have a special status among the twenty-four yamen of the inner court, and was regarded as the military yamen in the inner court.

It is precisely because the Imperial Horse Supervisor has both military and economic power that it has become the second yamen among the 24 yamen after the celebrant supervisor.

Looking at the history of the Ming Dynasty, many battles in the inner court also revolved around the eunuch and the imperial horse eunuch, followed by the battle between the eunuch who held the seal of the eunuch and the eunuch who was the eunuch of the imperial court.

According to the custom, the superintendent of the East Factory is served by the eunuch Xi Bingbi, the master of ceremonies, to check and balance the eunuchs of the master of ceremonies.

This system of the inner court began with Emperor Xuande, and the reason why Emperor Xuande did this was to let the powerful eunuchs in the inner court restrain each other, and form a three-legged pattern with the eunuch in charge of the seal, the eunuch Xi Bingbi and the eunuch of the imperial horse, so that there will be no situation of one dominance.

Because Chen Shun couldn't wake up, the imperial doctor of Taitai Hospital came to diagnose him, and now he was caught in a very powerful drug, and there was no antidote available, so he could only wait until the medicine was over Chen Shun would wake up.

Chen Shun slept for a day and a night, and he didn't wake up leisurely until noon the next day, and he didn't know that there had been a great change in the palace.

After learning that the Donglin Party broke into the Qianqing Gate yesterday and snatched Zhu Youxiao from the palace, making Zhu Youxiao hastily ascend the throne in the Wenhua Palace, Chen Shun was so frightened that he hurried to Qingning Palace to apologize to Zhu Youxiao.

Just the day before yesterday, a Jiangnan businessman who had recently been in contact with him asked Chen Shun to talk about the royal business he was in charge of.

Because the two sides had dealt with each other once before and made a business of 100,000 taels, Chen Shun did not allow any deception at all and happily went to the appointment, and it was an important duty for him to make money for the royal family.

Who would have thought that Chen Shun lost consciousness after drinking a few glasses of wine, and he didn't come to his senses until the next day, obviously falling into the trap of the other party.

The people of Jinyi Weibei Town Fusi began to arrest the Jiangnan businessman after Chen Shun was drugged, but he had lost his trace, and someone saw him leave the capital and his whereabouts were unknown.

According to the information controlled by the Fusi of Jinyi Weibei Town, the identity of the Jiangnan businessman was forged, and when he left, he used the seal that Chen Shun carried with him to deceive a batch of calligraphy and paintings in the imperial village outside the city, which was estimated to be as high as 200,000 taels.

Now, the Jiangnan businessman is wanted by the government, but because his identity information is fabricated, and the Ming Dynasty is vast, it is difficult to find him.

Judging from this incident alone, it is a typical fraud case, but the time was born very coincidentally, and it happened to be impartial when the people of the Donglin Party broke into the palace, which made the crowd of the Imperial Horse Supervisor long, and did not fulfill his duty to protect Zhu Youxiao.

If you look at the overall situation, then there are a lot of weird flavors in Chen Shun's case, I am afraid that there are very few people in the world who dare to defraud the eunuchs of the imperial horse eunuchs, and once it is verified, they will definitely die, who is full of food and supports the sacrifice of some money and bury their lives?

Secondly, since that Jiangnan businessman can start a business of 100,000 taels of silver, it is obvious that he should not take risks for a mere 200,000 taels of silver.

Of the three, the Jiangnan businessman and Chen Shun only came into contact recently, and chose to drug Chen Shun when the Donglin Party broke into the palace, so whether there is a hidden secret in it makes people think about it.

It's a pity that because the Jiangnan businessman ran away, all the questions can't be answered now.

Zhu Youxiao did not punish Chen Shun, but only admonished him, Chen Shun is an old man next to Emperor Wanli, and he can be in charge of the Imperial Horse Prison naturally won the trust and respect of Emperor Wanli, and his ability is beyond doubt.

Now, Zhu Youxiao naturally wants to treat an old man in the palace like Chen Shun well and make it for his own use.

Chen Shun was obviously put on a show this time, it was a good time to win over Chen Shun, Chen Shun must be grateful to Zhu Youxiao, and do his best to serve Zhu Youxiao in the future.

In addition to Chen Shun, there is another mystery in the Donglin Party's palace breaking incident, that is, the Huxiang Guard sergeant who was supposed to be rotated did not appear at Qianqingmen on time.

Otherwise, the strength of Helong Xiangwei and Huxiangwei would be enough to control the situation in Qianqingmen, so that they would not panic and let Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou and other Donglin Party members into Qianqingmen without verifying the truth of the young chamberlain's message.

According to Hu Xiangwei, the hundred households who were supposed to lead the team to Qianqingmen for rotation, when it was close to noon, he received an order from the Imperial Horse Supervisor to transfer them to tomorrow's duty, so he did not go to Qianqingmen.

It's a pity that the hundred households of the Tiger Guards couldn't get the transfer order, and the transfer order that he put in the public house on duty disappeared, but there were a few military attaches of the Tiger Guards who could testify that there was indeed that order.

This time, the hundred households of the Tiger Guards were unlucky, because he could not hand in the transfer order, so the people of Jinyi Weibei Town Fusi took him to the edict and tortured him with the military attaches who testified.

Li Hongyu felt that the Donglin Party's invasion of the palace was simply a wonderful drama, which was extremely well designed, and with the cooperation of Wang An, the Donglin Party won a victory that affected the Ming Dynasty.

Obviously, the cooperation between the Donglin Party and Wang An this time will make the celebrant and the cabinet stand in the same camp, which is extremely unfavorable to both the three parties of Qichu and Zhejiang and Zhu Youxiao, and offends Zhu Youxiao's imperial power.

This is also destined to find out nothing valuable in the case of breaking into the palace, at most let some inconsequential ghosts carry the black pot, and it will not hurt the Donglin Party at all.

Li Hongyu has no interest in the case of breaking into the palace, and does not want to get too involved in the party struggle in the court, and the exhibition of the Customs Department is a top priority at present.

Otherwise, once he falls into the complicated party struggles in the court, it will not be easy for Li Hongyu to get out.

Besides, Li Hongyu is now with little qualifications, and there is no direct conflict of interest between the Customs Department and the various factions in the court, so it is really not a wise move for him to intervene in the party struggle now.

Two days later, Lee House.

"Brother Yu, how is the situation in the palace now?"

Li Hongyu has been staying in the imperial city since the palace breaking incident, and he was not able to go home until he settled the affairs in hand, Qin Yue asked with interest while massaging his shoulder.

Now the rumors about the Donglin Party's invasion of the palace in the capital are flying all over the sky, and the people have different opinions on the Donglin Party's move, and no one thought that such a bizarre thing would happen in the palace, which is simply eye-opening, like a fantasy.

At the beginning, the people were talking about the Donglin Party officials who broke into the palace, and they were shocked by their actions.

However, soon, with the help of well-intentioned people, the remarks on the market about the case of breaking into the palace changed sharply, and the spearhead was transferred from Yang Lian and Zuo Guangdou and other Donglin Party parties to Empress Li, saying that Empress Li wanted to take advantage of Zhu Youxiao's young age to control the government, and the Donglin Party's move was to maintain the orthodoxy of the Ming Dynasty.

Almost at the same time, there were many rumors on the market that were unfavorable to Empress Li, saying that after Empress Li entered the palace, she relied on Emperor Taichang's love and pampering and pride, bullied the crown princess and other concubines of Emperor Taichang, not only forced Zhu Youxiao's biological mother to death but also killed many sons of Emperor Taichang, so that Emperor Taichang only had two sons alive.

For the common people, the secrets of the palace with the emperor and empress were naturally the most interesting, so the market soon spread rumors that were unfavorable to Empress Li.

After continuous rumors, Empress Li's image soon became very unbearable, and she became a fierce and mean, profit-hungry woman, wanting to take advantage of Zhu Youxiao's youth to control the government and become the second military queen in the world.

Li Hongyu was disdainful of this, saying that he still believed that Empress Li wanted to abuse power, but the remarks of bullying the crown princess and murdering the prince were pure nonsense, groundless speculation, and he didn't understand the situation in the palace at all.

In Li Hongyu's view, not only Empress Li, but also Emperor Taichang, must have been worried in Qingning Palace due to the dispute over the country, and honestly behaved with his tail between his legs, how dare he make a mistake?
