Li Hongyu, as an auxiliary minister appointed by the Wanli Emperor, was naturally also passed into the palace, and Emperor Taichang was lying on the soft couch in the Dongnuan Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace, looking extremely tired. 『Nature'.2.

When Li Hongyu felt it, in the courtyard of the Qianqing Palace, there were Yang Lianhe and Zuo Guangdou and other people who were crying outside the Qianqing Gate, and there were many people who were gathered there in groups to talk.

There are already a lot of people in the Dongnuan Pavilion, and the auxiliary ministers appointed by the Wanli Emperor, the cabinet members, the governors of the five prefectures, and the officials of the six ministries are all present, and it can be seen that Emperor Taichang has been tossed physically and mentally exhausted by the officials who knelt outside the Qianqing Gate, so he put on such a posture.

Li Hongyu stood behind the crowd and silently looked at Emperor Taichang on the soft couch, shaking his head secretly in his heart, Emperor Taichang's personality is relatively gentle, if it is Emperor Wanli, he will definitely not tolerate the Donglin Party tossing so much, and he will definitely find a way to fight back.

But Emperor Taichang thought that the Donglin Party was upright and loyal and righteous, so he endured and endured the things outside the Qianqing Gate, and even if he couldn't bear it, he would not be severely punished, but found a way to calm down the situation.

After the auxiliary ministers, cabinet members, and the governors of the five prefectures and six ministries arrived, Emperor Taichang sent Yang Lian and Zuo Guangdou and others into the Dongnuan Pavilion, and because there were too many people on the other side, only those officials with sufficient status and status followed the two in.

"Your Majesty, take care of the dragon body!"

After Yang Lian entered the Dongnuan Pavilion, he saw Emperor Taichang lying on the soft couch with a weak expression, and when he knelt down to Emperor Taichang and saluted, he suddenly felt sad in his heart, tears fell like rain, and some people actually cried loudly, which made the atmosphere in the room suddenly become tense and depressing.

"Everyone, love Qing, get even." Emperor Taichang was moved by the scene in front of him, his eyes were also a little red, and he raised his hand to Yang Lian and Zuo Guangdou and other people kneeling on the ground, and then said in a deep voice: "The secretary of state affairs and others are dedicated, and I will take care of myself." ”

"Your Majesty." Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou and the others got up when they heard this, wiped their tears and bowed down to stand there.

"Ladies and gentlemen, in view of the fact that the aggravation of my condition is due to Tongli Medicine, I will expel Cui Wensheng, the chief eunuch of Kunning Palace, from the palace to calm the hearts of the people."

Emperor Taichang glanced around at the ministers at the scene, pondered for a while, and then said solemnly, "This matter is over, and no one is allowed to discuss it again, otherwise it will disturb the palace, and I will be punished for the crime of rebellion."

"The Emperor Shengming!" Hearing this, Zhang Weixian took the lead in speaking, bowed to Emperor Taichang and said.

As a noble of the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Weixian was very disgusted by Yang Lian and Zuo Guangdou and others kneeling outside the Qianqing Gate, which caused the palace to be unpeaceful, so he was the first to respond to Emperor Taichang, and he was not afraid of those civil officials in the court when he held the power to operate.

"The Emperor Shengming!" Immediately after, Fang Congzhe expressed his agreement, bowed down and said to Emperor Taichang, how could he not know that the purpose of the Donglin Party to move this matter was not to drink, but to the Queen Mother on the surface, but actually to attack the three parties of Qi, Chu and Zhejiang above the court.

"The emperor is sage, and the ministers obey the order." With the statements of Zhang Weixian and Fang Congzhe, the Xungui and the officials of the three parties of Qichu and Zhejiang at the scene said in unison.

Li Hongyu mingled in the crowd to express his approval of Emperor Taichang's holy decree, and then quietly observed the Donglin Party officials at the scene.

"The emperor is sage, and the ministers obey the order." Seeing that Zhang Weixian, Fang Congzhe and others had obeyed Emperor Taichang's will, the officials of the Donglin Party looked at each other, and then He Zongyan and other members of the Donglin Party led the way and bowed down to Emperor Taichang to express their attitude.

"I'm a little tired, please stand down." Emperor Taichang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw this, and waved his hand to the ministers at the scene and said.

"The ministers are leaving." When the ministers heard this, they bowed to Emperor Taichang and left the Dongnuan Pavilion.

Because Emperor Taichang failed to severely punish the harem rebels according to the intention of the Donglin Party, but let the Empress Dowager Sun go, the Donglin Party was very dissatisfied with this and seemed very disappointed, so after leaving the Dongnuan Pavilion, they gathered together in groups and whispered, looking a little annoyed.

Li Hongyu walked with Zhang Weixian and other nobles, and after the night when the new army entered the city, the relationship between Li Hongyu and the Xungui group rose in a straight line and became very close.

Although Li Hongyu was a civilian official, he had an open-minded personality, a hearty personality, and a good hand at fighting wars and managing the army, so the nobles admired and liked him very much, and thought that he was a person worth associating.

Li Hongyu's goal is the Customs Department, so he is not very interested in the struggle of the civilian clique, and tries to avoid getting involved in the factional dispute, anyway, he will go to the Customs Department in Yangzhou in the future, which is the world where he can exert his strength.

It is worth mentioning that because of the strong combat effectiveness of the new army, Emperor Taichang had issued a holy decree for Li Hongyu to expand a new army of 20,000 people, which was specially stationed in a military camp outside the city to protect the safety of the Beijing division.

Of course, Emperor Taichang did not have extra military funds for this new army, so Li Hongyu had to find a way to solve military expenses and other matters.

Since Emperor Taichang has issued a holy decree, Li Hongyu must not be able to resist the decree, but this kind of thing cannot be done overnight, and he is ready to complete this holy decree of Emperor Taichang within three years.

For this reason, Li Hongyu chose to establish this new army camp in Fengtai, and in a strict sense, this new army stationed in Fengtai is the real royal forbidden army.

With this holy decree of Emperor Taichang, the Beijing army in the capital, the soldiers of the pro-army and the young men of the northern provinces are eager to try the new army has played a prestige in the first battle of Li Mansion, coupled with the worship of Li Hongyu and the name of the royal forbidden army, so there are many applicants.

According to the plan drawn up by Li Hongyu, once the formation of this imperial forbidden army is completed, it will take turns to suppress bandits in various places to ensure its combat effectiveness.

If this army stays in the Fengtai camp, then it will not be able to become a brave army, and only the battlefield can give people real sharpening.

This can be seen from the battle of Li Mansion that night, the new army guarding Li Mansion has experienced the baptism of war in Liaodong, and knows what to do when they are fighting, while the actions of the Beijing army are chaotic, once they witness blood and death, many soldiers are so frightened that their legs tremble, let alone desperately, how can they be invincible?

As for the candidates for the commander of the imperial forbidden army in the future, Emperor Taichang has not yet considered it, and he wants to promote the generals in the army, and he also wants to appoint the nobles of the capital.

Because there was a period of time before the formation of this royal forbidden army, the Xianfengtai camp had not yet been built, so Emperor Taichang also put this matter on hold, and it would be decided later depending on the situation.

Those pro-army military attaches who followed Li Hongyu in the imperial city chose to join the royal forbidden army, and were able to go to the camp outside the city of the new army to train, and became the backbone of the royal forbidden army.

"The slave knocks on the emperor!"

Not long after Li Hongyu and the others left the Qianqing Palace, Cui Wensheng hurried over, and after entering the Dongnuan Pavilion, he knelt in front of Emperor Taichang's soft couch, kowtowing with a pale face, and said in a panicked manner, "The slave should die, please punish the emperor!" ”

As the protagonist of the Donglin Party kneeling outside the Qianqing Gate, Cui Wensheng was unable to sleep and eat in a short period of time, and lost several pounds at once, and now it is different from the past, Empress Dowager Zheng can no longer take care of him as well as before, so his fate fell into the hands of Emperor Taichang.

"Get up."

Seeing this, Emperor Taichang asked Cui Wensheng to get up, and then said after a deep sigh, "I know that this incident has nothing to do with you, but the courtiers are in turmoil, so I have no choice but to wronged you." ”

"I will give you some rewards, you can go back to your hometown to retire, and you can enjoy your old age in peace." As he spoke, Emperor Taichang waved his hand, and an attendant handed over a holy decree to Cui Wensheng.

The holy decree lists the rewards that Cui Wensheng received, as well as the imperial order of Emperor Taichang to let him return to his hometown to retire, no matter how Cui Wensheng also served Emperor Wanli for so many years, Emperor Taichang thought that he deserved a good death, and it could be regarded as fulfilling the relationship between Emperor Wanli and his master and servant.

Of course, this is also for the chamberlains and palace maids in the Forbidden City, to show the benevolence of the Son of Heaven to them, so that they can better serve the emperor.

"The slave bows to thank the emperor for his grace!"

Cui Wensheng breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and after holding the holy decree with both hands, he knelt down excitedly to thank him, and said after kowtowing to Emperor Taichang three times in a row, "Your Majesty, the slave knows that the country is in an eventful autumn, and this is the time to use money, and the slave has some savings over the years to support the elderly. ”

"Okay, I'm done!" A look of surprise flashed on Emperor Taichang's face, he didn't expect Cui Wensheng to have this kind of awareness, so he nodded and agreed.

The reason why Cui Wensheng said that it is now an eventful autumn is because since the beginning of this year, there have been droughts and floods in Daming, not only four major droughts, but also seven river breaches, millions of victims, and the imperial court needs to mobilize money, food and materials for rescue.

In addition, the war in Liaodong fell into a stalemate stage, Xiong Tingbi reported twice a day, and five times a day to find the imperial court to build fortifications to defend against the enemy, which was also a lot of money.

As for other places that need to spend money, compared with the above two items, it is nothing to mention, Emperor Taichang quickly realized the importance of money, if there is no money, how to solve these crises faced by the Ming Dynasty?

This is also why Emperor Taichang resolutely rejected the chapter related to the Customs Department, looking at it, among the large and small yamen of the Ming Dynasty, only the Customs Department is to make money for the imperial court, and he naturally cannot abolish the Customs Department.

With the decree of Emperor Taichang, Cui Wensheng left the capital with a gloomy expression, and walked with only one carriage and a few boxes, which seemed light and simple, and completely bid farewell to the stage of history.

"It's better to go!"

Empress Dowager Zheng was relieved to learn that Emperor Taichang asked Cui Wensheng to return to his hometown to retire, and said with a complicated feeling, although she was a little reluctant to serve Cui Wensheng who had served her for many years, but at least she could keep a person to spend her old age in peace.

At the same time, Cui Wensheng's departure also announced the advent of a new era in the inner court, and Wang An officially took charge of the celebrant and became another eunuch in the inner court after Feng Bao in the Ming Dynasty.
