In the power structure of Guangdong, Zhu Hongsan weaved a big web of common interests for his subordinates, and he, Zhu Hongsan, sat in the center of the web like a spider, using the spider web to control officials large and small, and everyone else had to revolve around Zhu Hongsan.

There are many advantages to this kind of power structure, and because the officials at all levels in the big network have the same interests, they must work hard for their own interests, and Zhu Hongsan, as the center, can naturally get the benefits. However, there are also many problems with this power structure, that is, as long as the central government is damaged, the tree will immediately fall apart. However, at present, Zhu Hongsan's military strength is strong, and the forces that can defeat Zhu Hongsan have not yet appeared, so this kind of power structure is still relatively stable.

Zhu Hongsan saw Cao Fang, who was kneeling on the ground and crying bitterly, and said: "Old Cao, get up, it's not that I can't trust you, it's because you are my neighbor, you are different from others, Wenchen is an outsider no matter what he says, you and I are one heart!" ”

Cao Fang heard Zhu Hongsan say this, and a big stone fell to the ground in his heart, knowing that he had finally gained the trust of the emperor.

"Lao Cao, you didn't have the surname Cao originally!"

Cao Fang didn't know why the emperor suddenly asked this, so he could only answer truthfully: "Back to the emperor, the villain's original surname was Li, born in Feng County, Xuzhou Prefecture, Nanzhili, because of the flooding of the Yellow River, the old slave's parents died early, and the old slave had no choice but to enter the palace as a eunuch and worship under the great eunuch Cao Huachun, so he changed his surname to Cao." ”

"Hmmm! Okay, Cao Huachun opened the gate of Beijing to welcome Li Chuang's entry into the city, so you don't call yourself Cao Huachun's godson. Well, I ordered you to change back to your original surname, um... Let's call it Cheng'en! ”

Let Cao Fang change back to his original surname This is a great grace, Cao Fang is in charge of the East Factory, although the power is for a while, but he is also raised by the influence of Chinese civilization, and he will also be ready to return to the ancestral grave in the future. But he can't have his own surname, which has always been a big concern for Cao Fang.

But today, the emperor actually gave him the grace to change back to his original surname, and also gave him a name to inherit grace, and this kind of grace is even greater. The great eunuchs who have always been named by the emperor have all the power to tilt towards the government and the opposition, the most famous of which is Zheng He, then Gong Sheng in the orthodox period, and of course Wei Zhongxian, the "nine thousand years old" in the Apocalypse.

Although Wei Zhongxian's reputation is notorious, and Zheng He, who went to the West, and Gong Sheng, who led the Shenji Battalion to defeat his younger brother Biluo in the Battle of Beijing, they are also famous.

Cao Fang, no, the freshly baked Li Chengen hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, thanking the emperor for his trust.

"The old slave thanks the emperor for giving him the name, the old slave can finally return to the ancestral grave after he dies! Woo woo woo ... ”

Seeing Li Chengen's sadness crying, Zhu Hongsan said: "Okay, don't cry, do you know the deep meaning of me naming you Chengen?" ”

"Old slave, old slave knows that the emperor wants me to inherit Wang Chengen's will and die for the emperor!"

"Okay, you know what I mean, get up!"

After Li Chengen stood up, he suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said: "Emperor, just now I went to Lord Zhang's account and saw Qian Sule, the two of them were talking about something, and stopped talking after seeing the old slave enter. ”

And this kind of thing? Zhu Hongsan knew that Zhang Huangyan and Qian Sule were both from King Lu's disciples, could it be that these two were hiding what they were planning?

"Is there any record over there in the East Factory?"

"Please wait a minute, the old slave will ask!"

Li Chengen went out for less than ten minutes, came in with a page of paper, and presented it to Zhu Hongsan with both hands.

Zhu Hongsan picked it up and looked at it, Zhang Huangyan and Qian Sule didn't say anything, but Zhang Huangyan persuaded Qian Sule to compare himself to Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty. Zhu Hongsan thinks that he is still not as good as Liu Bang's big hooligan, at least he still cares about his son, and he didn't kick his son out of the car in order to escape like Liu Bang.

After reading it, Zhu Hongsan smiled and asked, "What do you think?" ”

Li Chengen dared to express any opinion, and hurriedly replied: "Emperor, the old slave doesn't dare!" ”

"It's okay, you are in charge of the East Factory, the words and deeds of all the officials who are responsible, how about you talk about Zhang Huangyan?"

Hearing what the emperor said, Li Chengen dared to reply: "Emperor, it can be seen from Lord Zhang's words to persuade Qian Sule that Lord Zhang really has the feelings of loyalty to the monarch and serving the country!" ”

Hearing Li Chengen say this, Zhu Hongsan laughed: "Okay, I know, Lao Li, go down!" ”

Li Chengen was so brainless by the emperor's laughter that he didn't know if he had said something wrong, but when he looked up and saw that Zhu Hongsan didn't look angry, he quickly bowed his head and retreated, and said in his heart: "Lord Qian, our family has helped you when we should help you, and it is not my business how the emperor treats Zhang Huangyan." ”

It turned out that Zhang Huangyan offended Qian Lide in the morning and was demoted by the emperor to the South China Sea as a magistrate, which made Zhang Huangyan's teacher Qian Qianyi anxious.

Although Qian Qianyi can't be counted as Zhang Huangyan's teacher, he just listened to a few of his classes when Zhang Huangyan was studying. But now there is such a Zhang Huangyan in the Guangdong court who can be called his own person with Qian Qianyi, and there was originally Chen Zilong, but Chen Zilong has always ignored Qian Qianyi, but he is very close to Ma Mingyuan, which makes Qian Qianyi, who has just become an old man, very distressed.

So when Zhang Huangyan was transferred to the military aircraft department by the emperor, Qian Qianyi immediately regarded Zhang Huangyan as his own person, and had a careful interview with Zhang Huangyan twice.

Zhang Huangyan respects Qian Qianyi very much, treats him as a teacher every time he meets, and does not treat Qian Qianyi slowly because he has only listened to a few classes, which strengthens Qian Qianyi's determination to win over Zhang Huangyan.

Seeing Zhang Huangyan being degraded as such a good student, the good teacher Qian Qianyi was anxious in his eyes, and found Li Chengen not long after the incident, and his name was Cao Fang at the time, hoping that Cao Gonggong would help say a few good words.

Because Li Chengen was Zhu Hongsan, who returned to submission in Guangzhou, he was an absolute outsider in the power system, and he had always been excluded by the Huguang lineage. And Qian Lide, who is also the head of the big spy, looks down on Li Chengen, and dares to scold him as an "old gelding" in front of Li Chengen. Li Chengen can't help it, he is alone from the faction, and now the court will form a group to brush copies, Li Chengen, a dead eunuch, really can't take money and virtue.

In terms of status, Li Chengen and Qian Lide can't be compared, Qian Lide will say when he speaks, "How was it when I was in Huguang with Your Majesty", at the same time, Qian Lide also made friends with Tong Yangjia, and had a good relationship with Ma Mingyuan, the vast boss of Hu, Li Chengen really had no way before, seeing Qian Lide serving him as his father, that is, when he saw Qian Lide, he called himself a son.

And Qian Lide relied on the emperor's trust to fly high, originally Qian Lide and Li Chengen were rewarded with flying fish suits, originally Li Chengen was quite happy, but he didn't expect Qian Lide to force Li Chengen not to wear flying fish clothes when the two of them were present at the same time, which made Li Chengen very annoyed.

Li Chengen also cried with Emperor Zhu Hongsan, but Emperor Zhu Hongsan didn't care about them at all, but persuaded Li Chengen to endure it, Li Chengen had no choice but to continue to endure.

Today, Qian Qianyi came to the door to ask Li Chengen to help speak, this time it is a widow meets a widower, a meets a turtle duke, a minister who has no external support and a desire to stay by the emperor's side, the two hit it off, Li Chengen immediately agreed to exonerate Zhang Huangyan, and Qian Qianyi also agreed to be Li Chengen's pillar of the foreign court.

Although Li Chengen agreed to speak for Zhang Huangyan, it was difficult to find the opportunity, and if the opportunity was wrong, it had the effect of getting twice the result with half the effort.

Where did you think that the opportunity would come so quickly, after Zhu Hongsan went ashore in the afternoon, he encountered Qian Sule's questioning, but he didn't expect that it was Zhang Huangyan, who had just been demoted, to stand up and excuse the emperor.

After Zhu Hongsan entered the big tent, he asked, "Lao Cao, have you received the news that Zhang Huangyan's family worships King Lu?" ”

Li Chengen waited for this sentence, he and Qian Lide have been at odds for a long time, and he had no chance to be drugged before, and it is not a big deal to hear the emperor ask him today.

Li Chengen closed his eyes and knelt down to cry bitterly, and later cried even more.

Li Chengen made Zhu Hongsan confused by making such a fuss, and asked, "Lao Cao, why are you crying?" ”

"Emperor, the old slave couldn't help but think of himself when he saw Master Zhang being framed by Qian Lide, so he cried bitterly!"

"The fat man framed you? Tell me about it! ”

Li Chengen knew that the opportunity was in front of him, so he hurriedly told him how Qian Lide had bullied him in the past few years. These are all trivial things, and Li Chengen knows that in order to kill Qian Lide, these are not enough, and a very important thing is needed.

"Emperor, don't you know, Commander Qian came from Wuchang with you, and said in front of the civil and military ministers how you were with the emperor, how you were in the prison of Wuchang County with him, with the majesty of the emperor. . . ."

Li Chengen looked at Zhu Hongsan's face as he spoke, and found that Zhu Hongsan's face had changed from a blue face at the beginning to an expressionless face, and he knew that his plan had succeeded. Li Chengen has served Zhu Hongsan all the year round, and he knows that the more expressionless this master is, the more ruthless he is.

Li Chengen's methods this time are also very clever, Zhu Hongsan asked about Zhang Huangyan, and Li Chengen answered how Qian Lide relied on the emperor's fox and fake tiger might. Li Chengen has lived in the deep palace for a long time, and knows that the bigger the person, the more secret things there are, and the big man has always hoped that less people know about this kind of thing, and now he said that Qian Lide was talking nonsense about the emperor's previous affairs outside, and it was strange that the emperor could let him go.

Zhu Hongsan was furious after listening to Li Chengen's report, he didn't know the contradiction between Dongchang and Jinyiwei, this contradiction could still be created by him, and the appropriate contradiction was also conducive to the emperor's rule, but now Qian Lide dared to tell people about his previous things, which was too hateful.

Zhu Hongsan's character is a typical person who hangs to the sky, immortal for thousands of years, does a lot of evil when he is alive, and after death, he will be flooded. Of course, after death, I am not afraid of people talking, but when I am still alive, someone wants to spread the ugly things of the ugly thing that I forced to hang the horse and raped the little widow back then, how can I get it, although Zhu Hongsan's face is not much left, but it is still needed. Now Qian Lide is talking about his ugly things everywhere, which is really hateful, Zhu Hongsan didn't think much about it, and immediately ordered: "Cao Fang, you go to pass the decree and lock up Qian Lide, you interrogate carefully, what did he say, and how much did he say about my secret!" ”

As soon as Zhu Hongsan finished speaking, he thought for a while and then said: "You go and bring a message to Zhang Huangyan, just say that I am wrong, let him not leave, and continue to stay by my side!" ”
