Hu Guang was slightly stunned, and said with a slight annoyance: "Hmph, they don't have the courage yet!" ”

"That's what you're making them feel like they're in danger!" Yuan Qiao listened, and said it in passing, and from the tone of voice, he didn't seem to care much.

"Impossible!" When Hu Guang heard this, he subconsciously denied it.

Yuan Qiao didn't answer, obviously not caring about the follow-up.

Hu Guang felt bored, so he clicked offline and withdrew from the chat group system. Suddenly, he remembered something and was stunned.

After the original Emperor Chongzhen ascended the throne, he hated the eunuchs headed by Wei Zhongxian, not only whipped Wei Zhongxian's corpse, but even felt that the number was far from enough after the minister submitted the list of eunuchs, and he also expanded the area of attack and arrested many people. Even after the case is closed, the party dispute in the name of eunuching is still continuous, because it is effective.

Thinking of this, Hu Guang suddenly seemed to have a little impression, in history, the relationship between the civil officials and eunuchs of the Chongzhen Dynasty seemed to be good, so that the factory guards did nothing, and in the pen of those literati, it was said that the factory guards of this dynasty were loyal and righteous people. It's just huh!

When Emperor Chongzhen hanged himself, there was only one eunuch Wang Chengen by his side, and the civil and military generals surrendered one after another, including a large number of eunuchs. Is this phenomenon simply attributed to the greed for life and fear of death? Isn't there a little factor of Emperor Chongzhen himself?

At this time, Hu Guang remembered a famous saying of Mencius: "The king regards his ministers as his siblings, and the ministers regard the king as his heart; The monarch regards the minister as a dog and a horse, and the minister regards the monarch as a countryman; The king regards his ministers as mustard, and the ministers regard him as an enemy."

Although this passage is a bit absolute, it is not unreasonable, at least Emperor Chongzhen's original fate reflects this to some extent. Although there were also courtiers who were martyred, this was in the context of the millennium of Confucianism. Thinking of this, Hu Guang realized something.

At this moment, Wang Dehua outside seemed to be unable to wait, and whispered: "Your Majesty, the slave maid is just a simple check, but the involvement is so big that it is already shocking, and it involves a lot of palm print eunuchs, please take a look." ”

When Hu Guang heard this, his brows furrowed, and he suddenly said outside: "Convey the decree, all the imperial study rooms above the twelve eunuchs of the inner palace, the fourth division, and the eighth bureau are waiting for driving." ”

Wang Dehua was overjoyed when he heard this, it seemed that His Majesty was angry, and he was afraid that he would make an example of him. Hehe, seeing that you don't respect our family on weekdays, this will, our family has these real evidence, and it will definitely make you look good!

Thinking so, he immediately replied in a loud voice: "Slave obeys! ”

Wang Dehua's movements were very fast, and in less than half an hour, everyone was almost all together.

Then, Hu Guang set up the imperial study. Along the way, the eunuchs and palace maids who were waiting were all trembling. Others may not know the situation, but they are on duty and probably know what is going to happen next. Many of them are even very scared in their hearts, because if they can't get involved, they will be involved.

The young eunuchs and eunuchs in the imperial study were all powerful figures in the inner palace, and when they came urgently, they all knew what was going on. Suddenly, many people's faces turned pale, and in their eyes when they looked at Wang Dehua, there was resentment, jealousy, regret, and so on.

In the imperial study, only Wang Dehua held his head high. He guessed in his heart that His Majesty chose to be in the imperial study, obviously to deal with this matter. With His Majesty's temper, I'm afraid that many people will fall to the ground this time! Thinking about it, he was very proud in his heart.

Even when the emperor came, in the shrill greeting voice, Wang Dehua had the loudest voice and the most strength.

After Hu Guang sat down, he looked at the group of eunuchs and young eunuchs kneeling below, and after a moment of silence, his eyes looked at Wang Dehua, who had been waiting for a long time.

After receiving the prompt, Wang Dehua forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart, took out a stack of folds from his sleeve and said: "Your Majesty, the people inside and outside the palace checked by the slaves and maids are all here, please take a look." ”

There was no movement in the imperial study except for his voice. When his voice fell, he was so quiet that he couldn't even hear the sound of breathing.

But the emperor didn't speak, nor did he signal, so that Wang Dehua just held a stack of folds and froze there, which made him a little surprised.

After a long while, Hu Guangcai slowly spoke, and his voice was a little grim: "Although I haven't looked at the list, I can guess that there will be many of you in that stack." The inner servant is the foreign minister, don't you know that it is a taboo? ”

The emperor was angry and said such things, and everyone in the imperial study, including Wang Dehua, did not dare to face Hu Guang directly, and they all fell to the ground and did not dare to move. There are even many people whose backs are already full of sweat.

Hu Guang glanced at them, feeling their fear, so he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "However, you people are my henchmen, so I let you sit in these positions and do errands for me. For the sake of the past, I have spared you this time. But dare to have a next time, I will punish him for the nine clans! ”

In this case, even Wang Dehua, who was unwilling, had to follow the others and thank him loudly.

After the imperial study was quiet again, Hu Guang signaled: "It's burned!" ”

When Wang Dehua heard this, he cried in his heart. But no matter how reluctant he was, he had no choice but to get up, throw the fold in his hand into a heated carbon basin on the side, and watch the sharp weapons used to attack others turn into ashes.

When the other young eunuchs saw it, they understood that the emperor was learning from Cao Cao's allusion to burning letters, so as to signal that he no longer cared about it, and forgave him this time, and couldn't help but be very moved in his heart.

"Ding, achievement value +1, from the eunuch Shen Liangzuo!"

"Ding, achievement value +5, from the eunuch Gao Qi Dive!"

"Ding, achievement value +1, from the eunuch Cao Huachun!"

"Ding, achievement value +5, from the eunuch Li Fengxiang!"

“……”

The sound of dingding dings kept ringing, except for Wang Dehua, who did not contribute, everyone else contributed achievement points. Hu Guang glanced at the lower left corner of the chat group system and saw that the achievement value finally stopped at 381.

This time, Hu Guang was happy, not bad, it was completely unexpected!

However, on the surface, Hu Guang still remained the same, and waited until Wang Dehua returned to his original position before he said: "You usually have to read more "Internal Order" and "Zhongjianlu", and don't leave these two books aside when you leave the inner study hall, otherwise if you don't remember your duty, you will easily take the road of rebellion!" ”

He also knew from the memory of the original Emperor Chongzhen that basically the eunuchs in important positions came out of the inner study hall, not only to have writing skills, but also to carry out ideological and moral education.

This "Internal Order" is the admonition of the emperors since Taizu and Taizong to the eunuchs; The "Zhongjianlu" collects the deeds of law-abiding eunuchs in various dynasties and generations, and uses it as a model for eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty to follow.
