The eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty in all dynasties interfered with politics the most, Wang Zhen, Liu Jin, and Wei Zhongxian were all prominent for a while, but it was extremely simple for the emperor to clean them up. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Looking at the crying little eunuch in front of him, Zhu Youzhen was a little unbearable.

"Get up, I don't blame you."

The little eunuch raised his head and looked at Zhu Youzhen, wiped his tears and said, "Thank the emperor for not killing, thank the emperor for not killing." ”

"How old are you to enter the palace?"

"The slave entered the palace at the age of thirteen, and it has been three years at this time."

"Then why did you enter the palace?"

"There are two younger brothers and a younger sister in the family, and my parents can't afford to raise them, so I have no choice but to send the slaves to the palace."

Zhu Youzhen thought in his heart that he was also a poor person.

"And what's your name?"

"Slave Li Chang."

After Zhu Youzhen asked Li Chang about some things in the palace, he entered the dormitory and lay on the bed, thinking about the current government.

Today's cabinet Huang Liji is the first assistant, and the once powerful Donglin Party has reached the point of collapse.

Wei Zhongxian's eunuch party is firmly in control of the government, Cui Chengxiu is the secretary of the military department, and Wei Zhongxian controls the East Factory, the East Factory and the military department are in the hands of Wei Zhongxian, although these people must not dare to rebel with Wei Zhongxian, but if they express their desire to eradicate the political trend of Wei Zhongxian's party, then these people will inevitably do some crazy things in order to protect themselves.

The eunuch party must be moved, but it can't be like Emperor Chongzhen in the last time, under the gallop, the entire eunuch party will be eradicated, and it must be slowly planned, nor can it be like Emperor Chongzhen, eradicating Wei Zhongxian has become a political turmoil.

Thinking about it, Zhu Youzhen, who was extremely tired, fell into a deep sleep, and on the second day, Zhu Youzhen got up early in the morning and started the morning court.

The Taihe Hall was resplendent with gold, and Zhu Youzhen, under the guidance of the eunuch, slowly walked towards the dragon throne.

When Zhu Youzhen sat down, hundreds of ministers in the entire hall knelt down and saluted and shouted three long live.

Zhu Youzhen looked at the minister kneeling below, paused, and then said slowly: "Flat." ”

The scale of this early dynasty is extremely large, the first early dynasty of the new emperor, who doesn't want to come and be familiar with the new emperor, Zhu Youzhen wants to recognize the court at this time, open up the administrative situation, and uphold the eternal law of a generation of emperors and ministers, all of whom are scrambling to become Zhu Youzhen's first team.

First of all, the cabinet auxiliary ministers headed by Huang Liji, the three bachelors, the six scholars, the squire, the imperial history of the imperial envoy yamen, and some military attachés with the qualifications of the last dynasty.

The person who presided over the early dynasty was none other than Wei Zhongxian's sworn friend Wang Tiqian.

Wang Tiqian first recited the holy decree that had been prepared yesterday, first praised the achievements of the Emperor of the Apocalypse during his seven-year reign, and then began to make some arrangements and co-ordination for the future affairs of the Emperor of the Apocalypse.

People who are familiar with history know that the emperors of the Ming Dynasty were very lazy, and their cultural level was not as high as that of the Qing emperors, so almost all of the holy decrees of the Ming Dynasty emperors were promulgated by the celebrant supervisors, but these holy decrees could only be issued by the emperor.

After Wang Tiqian finished reading the first holy decree, he took the second holy decree from the little eunuch behind him.

This holy decree is yesterday Zhu Youzhen confessed about Empress Zhang, the holy decree greatly respects Empress Zhang, respects Empress Yi'an, and lives in Ciqing Palace.

After the two holy decrees were recited, the hundred officials were convinced to accept the decrees.

"Today is my first early dynasty, I hope that all the ministers are dedicated to assisting, I inherit the throne, all rely on the legacy of the first emperor, the first emperor returns to heaven, I am very painful in my heart, but I dare not delay the major affairs of the country, I hope the ministers can help me govern the Ming Dynasty." Zhu Youzhen said these words with full anger.

When the ministers heard these words, some loyal people almost burst into tears, but in fact, Zhu Youzhen said these words to buy people's hearts.

A Wenchen is listed.

"The emperor's accession to the throne should be celebrated by the whole world, announced to China and foreign countries, and granted amnesty to the world."

This courtier is a famous imperial history, and his name Zhu Youzhen can't shout, but the cabinet chief assistant didn't speak, but he jumped out and said what the first assistant should say, if he is not a loyal person, he is a cunning villain.

Because Huang Liji is close to Wei Zhongxian, this person may not be able to see the close relationship between Huang Liji and Wei Zhongxian, or he may just be utilitarian and want to leave a deep impression in the emperor's heart.

Sure enough, as soon as the imperial historian finished speaking, Huang Liji's face was a little unsightly, and at the same time, Zhu Youzhen was looking at Huang Liji.

Seeing Huang Liji's dissatisfaction with his face, he knew that Huang Liji was not difficult to deal with, and the best way to control the government was to have a chief assistant who was loyal to him to help the emperor govern the country, but Huang Liji was not the best candidate, as for the best candidate, as early as when Zhu Youzhen had not ascended the throne, he had already had a definition in his heart.

In fact, Huang Liji's person is also somewhat vague in the definition of history.

Some say justice, others treacherous.

Huang Liji Wanli thirty-two years of Jinshi. Tired officials and young Zhan Shi, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites. After Zhu Youxiao ascended the throne, he became a close confidant of Wei Zhongxian, and in the fifth year of the Apocalypse (1625), he was promoted to the Ministry of Rites, and was also a scholar of Dongge University. In the following year, he moved to Wuying Palace, built a scholar of the Pole Palace, was the first assistant, and died in Chongzhen for ten years.

Some people say that Emperor Chongzhen was at the beginning, it was because of Huang Liji's strong assistance, after Wei Zhongxian's suicide, Huang Liji, Shi Fenglai, Zhang Ruitu, Li Guopu, etc., were all impeached by the imperial history, but Wei Zhongxian had just been eliminated at that time, Zhu Youzhen wanted a stable political situation, so Huang Liji was protected, but Huang Liji's closeness to Wei Zhongxian is a fact, and he will definitely not stay in the position of auxiliary ministers for long.

After the imperial history is finished, Zhu Youzhen, as the emperor, must give instructions.

"My brother has just returned to heaven, and it is really inappropriate to make a move to celebrate the whole country." Zhu Youzhen said calmly, and his face couldn't tell whether he was happy or happy.

After listening to Zhu Youzhen's words, this imperial historian could only retreat gloomily.

Huang Liji came out of the queue and said softly: "The emperor succeeds to the throne, and the canonization of the queen is imminent, Princess Zhou is the emperor's original wife, and she should be welcomed into the palace as soon as possible and registered as the queen." ”

"Aiqing's words are very in line with my heart, Princess Zhou is virtuous and knowledgeable, she should be the queen, and two days later, a post-book ceremony will be held, presided over by Wei Zhongxian."

Wei Zhongxian did not attend this early court, and the fold he submitted was because he was unwell, and Zhu Youzhen did not force him, and what Zhu Youzhen said today was naturally relayed to Wei Zhongxian.

The post-book ceremony is also an event of great political significance, and letting Wei Zhongxian preside over it is also to appease Wei Zhongxian, who is a little uncomfortable in his heart.

The early dynasty ended quickly, and after Zhu Youzhen returned to the Qianqing Palace, he summoned Huang Liji, Shi Fenglai, Zhang Ruitu, and Li Guopu, four cabinet auxiliary ministers.

In addition to Li Guopu's righteousness, the other three of the four auxiliary ministers are somewhat close to Wei Zhongxian in exchange for power, but now the situation has changed, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse who favors Wei Zhongxian has become a thing of the past, and Zhu Youzhen at this time has become a new master of the country, although once a son of heaven and a courtier, everyone understands in their hearts that if Zhu Youzhen wants to firmly control the government, he must install his own cronies among the ministers, and the cabinet has not been moved at this time, just because Zhu Youzhen has just ascended the throne, and there are no qualified cronies available, even if he knows that he won't stay in this position for long, who doesn't want to step down decently.

In the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Youzhen sat on the dragon chair, and the four of them stood in columns.

"Elder Huang Ge, you are an important minister of the Three Dynasties, I have just ascended the throne, and I will rely on Elder Huang Ge a lot in the future." Zhu Youzhen looked like he was humbly seeking advice.

Huang Liji felt flattered, although he was close to Wei Zhongxian, but it was just to be able to stabilize his position, and it was not an exaggeration to say that there was suffering.

"The emperor's words are serious, and the ministers lead the court, and it is within the scope of the emperor's worries."

Corporal Lixian has lost the majesty of the king if he goes too far, Zhu Youzhen knows this very well, so after listening to Huang Liji's words, he remained silent, the four ministers are all smart people, and when they saw that Zhu Youzhen was not talking, they knew that Zhu Youzhen was waiting for everyone to report to the government.
