Chapter 16: The Death of the Eunuch

The day after summoning Sun Chengzong, Zhu Daming finally made up his mind to clean up Wei Zhongxian's party. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

On this morning, the celebrant handed in a large number of memorabilia, including courtiers and foreign officials, and there was only one theme, that is, the impeachment of Wei Zhongxian, Tian Ergeng and other eunuchs.

Among them, there are also those who impeach the current cabinet ministers, except for Sun Chengzong, who has just entered Beijing and entered the cabinet, the other three cabinet ministers have all been impeached.

It is precisely because of the impeachment of three cabinet ministers that today's Wenhua Hall small court meeting has also been exempted, leaving only Sun Chengzong as a cabinet minister, who is on duty in the cabinet duty room on the east side between the noon gate and the Huangji gate.

As for the excerpt of the impeachment of the eunuch sent by the General Political Division, Sun Chengzong naturally sent it to the celebrant supervisor, and now the celebrant of the ceremonial department, of course, understands the emperor's intentions, so he also sent it to the Dongnuan Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace.

Among them is Wei Zhongxian's new criminal evidence, a royal history named Jia Jichun, accusing Wei Zhongxian of colluding with the Hakka family, bullying the Middle Palace, raping and stealing internal money, and wanting to commit great rebellion, etc., these charges are enough for Wei Zhongxian to die several times.

Zhu Daming didn't do anything else, just asked Cao Huachun and Gao Shiming to go to the White Tiger Hall with the fold and read it to Wei Zhongxian.

Wei Zhongxian, who had been guarding Zhu Youxiao's spirit for two days in the White Tiger Palace, originally thought that after the end of the third day, he could return to his hometown in Suning with the gold and silver accumulated over the years.

Although in the past two days, the White Tiger Hall has been surrounded by airtight, and the little chamberlains he was originally familiar with have disappeared one by one, he still doesn't believe that Emperor Chongzhen will attack him so soon, let alone choose to attack him in the place where Zhu Youxiao stopped.

Now, without Zhu Youxiao's favor and the minions around him, Wei Zhongxian is just an illiterate old eunuch.

After listening to Jia Jichun's impeachment, Wei Zhongxian's face turned pale.

This imperial historian Jia Jichun is also his confidant who was placed in the Imperial Procuratorate, and now after the emperor has made it clear that Wei Zhongxian is allowed to return to his hometown to live idle, he has written to impeach him for such a crime, which has already shown the abnormality and sinister nature of the situation.

And the emperor also sent the eunuch of the new palm print of the celebrant to read it to him in person, and asked the priest to verify it, which shows that the emperor is likely to change his mind and want to kill him.

Looking at Wei Zhongxian, who was kneeling on the ground and trembling, thinking of the hidden pain he wanted to stutter in the past but couldn't, Cao Huachun's heart was refreshed, and he stared at Wei Zhongxian fiercely and said, "Father-in-law Wei, do you understand what the emperor meant by sending our family?" If you understand, you can end it yourself. If you don't understand, then we can help you. ”

After speaking, Cao Huachun looked at Gao Shiming, who was standing on the side and did not say a word, and nodded, Gao Shiming immediately beckoned at another eunuch, and a team of Jinyi Wei Han generals wearing bullfighting clothes quickly rushed in and surrounded Wei Zhongxian in the middle of the hall.

The person who came in was naturally the staff of the Yiluan Division under Gao Shiming now, and this time it was led by Wang Guoxing himself.

At this time, Wei Zhongxian certainly knew what Cao Huachun meant in and out of his words.

He stared at Cao Huachun, Gao Shiming, and Wang Guoxing with blazing eyes, looked and looked, as if to remember that these people looked similar, and after a while, he suddenly laughed, but soon suppressed his laughter and said: "I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, I didn't expect the emperor to do the same!" The first emperor treated me Wei Zhongxian well, and being able to die in front of the spirit of the first emperor today can be regarded as a blessing for the old man!

"As for you Cao Huachun, the emperor doesn't know what you are, but the old man knows it clearly, and the old man is watching you underground to see how you will die in the future!"

After saying this, Wei Zhongxian laughed out loud, suddenly turned around, grabbed a spear facing him in front of him, grabbed the spear and stabbed it into his abdomen, and fell to the ground after a while, with words in his mouth.

At this time, Cao Huachun found a rope out of nowhere, suddenly threw it on the ground, and ordered Wang Guoxing to step forward, put the rope around Wei Zhongxian's thick neck, and strangled Wei Zhongxian to death.

A generation of eunuchs died in the White Tiger Palace.

Seeing that Wei Zhongxian was dead, Cao Huachun had an indescribable relief, and an indescribable loss, he didn't say anything, turned his head and left the White Tiger Palace.

After Cao Huachun left, Gao Shiming looked at Wang Guoxing, who was standing aside, and then said coldly: "Commander Wang, what are you waiting for, the time has come for you to make meritorious contributions!" ”

Wang Guoxingguo's face, not tall, but very strong, hearing what his current direct boss said, he sighed, took out the embroidered spring knife he was wearing, waved his hand and cut off Wei Zhongxian's head, and then tore off Wei Zhongxian's filial piety clothes, wrapped his head, carried it in his hand, followed Gao Shiming, and walked towards Qianqingmen.

It turned out that most of the eunuchs and attendants who were gathered outside the White Tiger Hall followed Cao Huachun, and the rest also looked at each other, not daring to ask anything or say anything.

When Gao Shiming arrived at Qianqing Gate, he saw Cao Huachun hurrying away with his men.

Of course, Zhu Daming had already met Cao Huachun, and asked Cao Huachun to immediately dispose of Wei Zhongxian's henchmen in the inner court as planned, and ordered Fang Zhenghua to send the backbone of the East Factory to immediately seal Wei Zhongxian's mansion outside the palace, and besiege the mansions of Wei Zhongxian's nephews and sons-in-law such as Wei Liangqing, Wei Liangdong, and Wei Liangcai.

Zhu Daming has been looking forward to this day for a long time and has arranged it for a long time, but Wei Zhongxian's death is just the beginning, and there is still a lot of work to be done.

And the first to bear the brunt was Tian Ergeng, the commander of the capture of Jinyiwei, and Xu Xianchun, the envoy of Beizhen, whose whereabouts were of course already under the surveillance of Dongchang.

When Gao Shiming led Wang Guoxing to meet Zhu Daming, Zhu Daming's first concern was not what Wang Guoxing had in his hands, but Wang Guoxing's person.

He had heard it before, but he didn't think about it deeply, and then he vaguely remembered a book he had read in later generations, saying that such a Jinyi guard named Wang Guoxing commanded the affairs, and when Li Zicheng besieged Beijing, he was ordered to lead the deployment of Shangcheng defense, and finally heard that the emperor was martyred, and he returned home and burned himself to martyrdom.

Such a person is, of course, a person who can be reused, not to mention that he is also a cousin of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and he is absolutely loyal to Zhu Youxiao.

After Gao Shiming and Wang Guoxing finished the ceremony, he said to Zhu Daming: "Your Majesty, Wei Wei has been ambushed, and the slave is willing to take Wei Wei's head and go out of the palace to see Tian Ergeng. ”

Zhu Daming immediately agreed, and wrote a handwritten edict, ordering Fang Zhenghua to send the backbone of Dongchang, and cooperate with the Yiluan Division led by Gao Shiming and Wang Guoxing, to deal with Tian Ergeng, Xu Xianchun and other senior military attachés of Jinyiwei cheaply.

Of course, it is best if Tian Ergeng can be captured, even if he resists by force, there is nothing to worry about now. Without Wei Zhongxian, the leader of the eunuch party, the rest of the eunuch party will not be able to make any waves.
