After seeing the three of them leave, Zhu Youxiao said to Wang Liqian: "The appointment and dismissal of these three people no longer need to go through the cabinet, and they will directly make a central decree." Zhu Youxiao understands that this is a matter, and if it goes through the cabinet, it will take a long time.

The news that Zhao Nanxing and the three of them were appointed as the governor of the imperial history really caused an uproar. Although the status of the patrol is very high, patrolling on behalf of the Son of Heaven, and the weight is wide, but this position has always been held by the supervision of the imperial history, and the supervision of the imperial history can only be the seventh product, and now the lowest position of these three people is the fourth product, although the three of them have not changed their previous positions, but they have set a precedent.

The wind is heard, but it is the power of the imperial history. What's more, Zhu Youxiao successfully bullied the entire civilian-bureaucratic group last time, and the civilian-official group has long been dissatisfied, and this time many people are trying their best to get back.

Sure enough, the Thirteen Inspectors were the first to attack, and the music flew to the cabinet like rain.

"Elder Han Ge, what do you think of this matter?" Ye Xianggao originally planned to return to his hometown, but now that Zhu Youxiao suddenly came to do this, he decided to take a break for the time being, after all, these three people are all cadres of the Donglin Party.

"Elder Ye Ge, is the emperor's move preparing to attack the Donglin people?" Han Yi thought for a while and said.

"The emperor gave a decree this time, without going through the cabinet, according to Mengbai (Zhao Nanxing's character Mengbai), he could completely refuse to accept the decree, but he accepted the decree, it is obvious what the emperor and Mengbai said about the three of them, so that the three of them willingly go to be the imperial history. The most important thing now is, what did the emperor say to them? Ye Xianggao said.

"But Mengbai refuses to see guests now, even I don't see him, and although I have seen Wen Ru (Yang Lianzi Wenru) and Zhizhi (Zuo Guangdou), the two of them are tight-lipped." Han Yi said helplessly.

"So the emperor doesn't want to attack the Donglin people, but what the hell is going on, now we can only wait." Ye Xianggao said.

"And what about these movements?" Han Yi asked.

"Even if these pieces are handed to the emperor, the emperor will definitely not send them, but I think it's better to hand them over, and let the emperor know the voice below." Ye Xianggao thought for a while and said. This was an important means of the struggle between the civilian clique and the imperial power.

……

The eunuch party is honest on the contrary, and now Wei Wei's case is still being processed, and the emperor is obviously not ready to let the three divisions interfere, but uses Jinyi Wei to make decisions, and now the eunuchs are afraid that the emperor's stick will fall on their heads.

No matter how noisy it was outside, Zhu Youxiao firmly followed his own path, and the recitals about Zhao Nanxing's appointment as the governor of the imperial history were all left in the middle, and the rest of the recitals were all handled according to the recommendations of the cabinet as appropriate. Zhu Youxiao wanted to delegate power, but he didn't know how to delegate power, so he simply temporarily asked the celebrant to do it according to the cabinet's suggestion, and if it was contrary to his intentions, he would decide.

Zhu Youxiao promised to accompany Fan tonight, and Zhu Youxiao naturally would not break his promise. After dinner, Zhu Youxiao asked Fan and Zhang Yan to accompany him for a walk.

"Baozhu, is the number of eunuchs in the palace already over 100,000? Is the palace maid also over 10,000? Zhu Youxiao asked as he walked.

"Back to the emperor, the number of eunuchs in the palace does not exceed 100,000, but there are as many as 90,000, and the number of palace maids is currently around 9,000." Zhang Yan replied.

"There are so many of them, how much does it cost to afford them every year? Now the treasury is empty, and even Liaodong is short of money to use soldiers, and it still has to support so many people. Zhu Youxiao sighed.

"The number of people must be reduced. In fact, it is really too luxurious for our family to live in such a big place, what do you think? Zhu Youxiao asked.

"Your Majesty, this represents the power and dignity of the royal family, Your Majesty is the true son of the dragon, living in the Purple Palace, you can govern with virtue, naturalize in all directions, and come to the court from all sides, so as to ensure that my Ming dynasty is eternal, and the Ming royal family will be prosperous for a long time." Fan said softly.

Do you believe these words? To tell the truth, I don't believe it, this is also to deceive the people, if the people have no food to eat, no clothes to wear, they don't care if you live in the Forbidden City, whether you are a real dragon emperor? They will also cramp and skin those of us who are called dragons. From ancient times to the present day, are there still few such things? Zhu Youxiao laughed at himself.

"Your Majesty......" Zhang Yan said softly.

"I know what I'm talking about, and one day I'll move out of this Forbidden City." Zhu Youxiao said with a smile.

"Your Majesty......" Zhang Yan and Fan shouted softly again.

Zhu Youxiao waved his hand to stop the two, he turned to Wang Liqian and said, "Wang Liqian, select 10,000 strong eunuchs under the age of twenty from the palace, and I will train them into a strong army." In addition, Li Yongzhen and Tu Wenfu came to see me. ”

"No." Wang Liqian said.

Li Yongzhen and Tu Wenfu are both eunuchs of the celebrant eunuchs, and they are also Wei Zhongxian's sworn friends. It's just that Zhu Youxiao promised not to pursue it, and he will never pursue it again, not to mention that these people still have a certain loyalty to the emperor. The emperor summoned them, and the two came quickly.

"Li Yongzhen, I want you to go to Shandong to recruit 10,000 strong new troops for me within a month, remember that these 10,000 strong must be ordinary people, and these 10,000 strong people must come voluntarily, as for the salary, I will give 1 or 25 yuan of silver every month." Zhu Youxiao commanded.

"No." Li Yongzhen said.

"Remember, if you don't do what I want, don't blame me for not giving you a chance." Zhu Youxiao admonished.

"The minister must keep in mind His Majesty's will, and never dare to make the slightest mistake." Li Yongzhen hurriedly replied.

"Tu Wenfu, you don't need to be the palm print eunuch of the Imperial Horse Supervisor in the future, you can find an item for me, such an item comes from the West, very similar to the arquebus, that is, the bird gun, but not the arquebus, its name is the impact flintlock pistol, I have given you a month, you can mobilize the Jinyi Guard to help you find it, but you must at least find more than two flintlock pistols for me to come back." Zhu Youxiao said.

"No." Tu Wenfu said. Although Zhu Youxiao dismissed him from the position of the palm seal eunuch of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, he did not dare to show the slightest dissatisfaction.

"Now that the commander of the East Factory is vacant, the one who has done the best thing among the two of you will be the commander of the East Factory, and if the matter is messed up, I will not give you any more chances." Zhu Youxiao said coldly.

"No." The two replied in unison.

During this period, the palm seal eunuch and the commander of the Dongchang were the two most important positions among the eunuchs, and they were the goal of every eunuch's life. Now Zhu Youxiao threw out the position of Admiral Dongchang and let them compete for the post, which is very tempting for them. Both of them were also holding back their strength at this time.
