The great pilgrimage meeting on the fifth day of November did not end until noon. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Daming quickly disposed of Wei Zhongxian, as well as Wei Zhongxian's hardcore backbone among the eunuchs and ministers, Wang Tiqian, Li Yongzhen, Cui Yingyuan and others.

Cao Huachun was used to take over the palm seal of the celebrant supervisor, and Fang Zhenghua supervised the Dongchang, at least the two power organs directly under the command of the inner court were in their hands.

However, the disciples and grandchildren of Wei Zhongxian hidden in the Si Li Jian and the East Factory, as well as the twelve eunuchs, the four divisions, and the eight bureaus of the inner court, a total of twenty-four yamen, do not know how many there are, and it is not a small project to clean up.

But these things were explained to Cao Huachun, Fang Zhenghua, Wang Chengen and others, and I believe that they will never be soft or omitted.

The celebrant was the first of the 24 yamen, and was not only responsible for transmitting and approving the recitals submitted by the cabinet, and for the transmission and reading of the holy decrees, but also in charge of all the eunuchs in the palace and the affairs of other yamen in the inner court, as well as his own intelligence, reconnaissance and law enforcement agency, that is, Dongchang.

So as long as you have it in your hands, the control of the inner court is basically not a problem.

But as an emperor, before clearing the world, the first thing is to clear the inner palace, and you must not allow your side, the side of the couch, and even one potential enemy.

Because to be soft on the enemy is to be cruel to yourself. These eunuchs who have experienced the bloody party struggle between the late Wanli period and the Apocalypse Dynasty have a clear enough understanding of this. They can get out of the big inside, of course, they are not incompetent, they all have their own henchmen and eyeliner, and they all have their own accounts.

So in this regard, Zhu Daming is still very relieved, just in the inner palace, there are more than 10,000 eunuchs alone, and it is not too much to remove how much, and there is no need to worry about running out of people.

After the end of the dynasty, there was no longer the previous Wenhua Hall small court meeting. Because of today's four cabinet ministers, all of whom are suspected of eunuchs, before the emperor makes a clear deal, according to the convention, they should all stay at home to avoid suspicion, how can they come to the Wenhua Hall again in a grand manner to discuss government affairs with the emperor. So there is no small pilgrimage.

Zhu Daming returned to the Xinuan Pavilion where the Qianqing Palace lived daily, had a simple lunch, sorted out his thoughts, and then asked Wang Chengen, who was accompanying him, to send someone to pass Cao Huachun, Zhang Yixian, Wang Zhixin, Gao Qiqian, Chu Xianxian, Li Fengxiang and other eunuchs over.

After a while, the eunuchs who followed Chongzhen during the period of King Yigan Xin came to the palace gate to ask for a meeting.

Zhu Daming summoned them in, waited for them to finish their salutes, and said to them: "You have been with me for many years, and you are the most trustworthy people I have now. I came to you today to make arrangements for you. ”

These words made these eunuchs very excited, and the cold stove that burned back then finally turned over today.

Zhu Daming immediately asked Cao Huachun to draw up a decree, and the current eunuch in charge of the 12 eunuchs of the Inner Court, the 4th Division and 8th Bureau, will be exempted on the spot immediately, so that Wang Chengen will be in charge of the internal official supervisor, Shangshan supervisor and the head of the internal transport warehouse, Zhang Yixian will be promoted to the chief of ceremonies and the eunuch of Bingbi and the supervisor of Shangbao and the supervisor of the seal ribbon, Wang Zhixin will be promoted to the eunuch of the ceremonial supervisor Bingbi and the eunuch of the consulate and the governor of the capital, Gao Qiqian will lead the Shengong supervisor and the supervisor of the Zhidian, Chu Xianzhang will lead the imperial horse supervisor and lead the military battle bureau, Li Fengxiang will lead the Shangyi supervisor and the collar Huanyi Bureau, the scarf and hat bureau, the needlework bureau and the weaving and dyeing bureau, Xu Yingyuan led the Inner Court Salary Division, the Mixed Hall Division and the Siyuan Bureau, etc., while Du Xun also led the Bell and Drum Division and the Silver Bureau.

In short, the eunuchs who followed the cold stove and served the king of letters, Zhu Youzhen, have finally become mothers-in-law, and they all have their own official positions and functions.

Of course, some eunuchs who are more trustworthy have greater authority and more important position, and those who are slightly less at ease have less authority and less important position.

For example, Gao Qiqian, the eunuch, Emperor Chongzhen trusted him very much in history, but he did a lot of fucking things, not to mention his ability, and he was extremely narrow-minded.

Another example is Du Xun, before Li Zicheng entered Beijing, Chongzhen sent him to supervise the army Xuanfu, and as soon as he arrived, he immediately surrendered to the army, and finally on behalf of Li Zicheng, he came to Beijing to persuade Emperor Chongzhen to surrender.

Such a eunuch, of course, cannot be reused, and he must find an opportunity to clean it up.

But now, it is a critical time to deal with Wei Zhongxian's party, and Emperor Chongzhen does not have many trustworthy people, so he can only use it for the time being.

Especially Cao Huachun, he was an older eunuch in the original Xinwang Mansion, so he could only temporarily let him be the palm seal of the master of ceremonies, which could be regarded as a transition.

As soon as the assignment of these people ended, some rejoiced, such as Zhang Yixian, Wang Zhixin, Chu Xianxian, and Li Fengxiang, and some were silent, such as Gao Qiqian, Du Xun, etc., but in general, they were all promoted and appointed, and no one dared to put forward any different opinions.

After the assignment of the functions of the inner court, Zhu Daming looked at them and said: "I called you here today, in addition to assigning you functions, there is another point, that is, I want you to figure out what to do first after taking office.

"Today's dynasty, although Wei Zhongxian was deposed, among the twenty-four yamen in the inner courtyard of the palace, especially among the ceremonial supervisors and Dongchang, how many henchmen of Wei Zhongxian and Wang Tiqian are there? You must know it well in your own hearts.

"Before Wei Zhongxian left the palace for the third day of the emperor's vigilance, the Wei Party in the twenty-four yamen of the inner court and the East Factory must all be cleared, can it be done?!"

As he spoke, Zhu Daming looked at these leaders and brains among the eunuchs in the inner court in the future.

Cao Huachun, Wang Chengen, Zhang Yixian, Wang Zhixin and others immediately expressed their attitude, and said in unison: "Please rest assured, the slaves and maids know what to do, and after three days, they will definitely be able to give the emperor a clean palace!" ”

Next, Zhu Daming explained again.

Then, a group of eunuchs took the holy decree and quickly led their henchmen to the twenty-four yamen in the palace to take up their posts according to their assigned duties.

Zhu Daming left Cao Huachun behind, and gave a special explanation, asking him to take care of Wei Zhongxian, who took care of the White Tiger Palace, and Wang Tiqian, Li Yongzhen, Cui Yingyuan, and other eunuchs who had resigned from their duties and were required to leave Beijing and return to their hometowns.

Of course, Cao Huachun understood the importance of this matter, and as soon as he left the Qianqing Palace, he immediately arranged for his henchmen to guard Wei Zhongxian and go out of the palace to monitor Wang Tiqian and others.

After these things were ordered, Zhu Daming was also tired enough, but he still couldn't rest, after all, this matter was not trivial, in case he was overturned by the eunuchs, the direction of the situation would lose his control.

Of course, this should be Zhu Daming's own concern.

The British Duke Zhang Weixian, as a representative of the noble and military ministers of the capital, expressed his stance and supported the imperial court to punish Wei Zhongxian, so there would be no problem in the Beijing camp.

There is no problem with Jingying, and the big situation will not be chaotic.

But Zhu Daming was still a little uneasy, just in case, he asked him to find Gao Shiming, the eunuch of Bingbi who was on duty in the celebrant eunuch.
