Chapter 120: The Wind Rises (4/10)

This period of time for the courtiers, it can be described as a thrilling one, first of all, it was made that Lu Kun's "Boudoir Fan" was suspected of tying the inner palace and plotting against him, although the emperor issued an order to explain, but the courtiers are not human spirits, how can anyone believe this far-fetched explanation?

Not to mention that the emperor favored Zheng, and how could such an obviously warning thing as giving a book happen to him, just saying that the "Sorrowful Humerus Discussion" that appeared later said, it is clear that the four volumes of the boudoir fan are not simple, and the Zheng family vaguely juxtaposes himself with the mother of the princes of the past dynasties, and its intentions are self-evident.

But since the emperor has issued an edict, and the courtiers are not too troublesome, who knew that Lu Kun had such a bad reputation among the people, and the people heard that the emperor had decreed that Lu Kun was not guilty, so they gathered in Lu Kun's mansion to insult him, almost causing a civil uprising!

Yes, although there is an inside story in this, at least most of the courtiers don't know it, what they see is that because of Lu Kun, there was a civil uprising in Gyeonggi, such a big event, how can it be done easily!

Therefore, the impeachment of the written articles is the proper meaning, such a big matter, Lu Kun alone is obviously not enough to calm the anger of the courtiers, so the focus of impeachment has shifted to the imperial prince Zheng Chengen and Lu Kun's comrades......

As for the recent incident between Jinyiwei and Dongchang in Beijing, they have not been able to suppress this turmoil, but think about it, although the matter of Jinyiwei involves the matter of mining tax, it is not them who pay taxes from this mine, but the local gentry, which has nothing to do with them, plus the emperor has a good attitude of admitting his guilt, and in just three days, he will edict to prison and punish him severely, so the attention of the courtiers naturally returns to the case of Lu Kun.

"Your Highness, the slave doesn't understand, didn't you say that the emperor is the best at diverting the attention of the courtiers with other things? How did you ...... this time?"

In the study, Wang An watched Zhu Changluo write and draw on a blank piece of paper, and asked while studying ink.

Although Emperor Taizu had already decreed that eunuchs were not allowed to interfere in politics, in fact, the eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty were the most serious in politics, but the difference is that due to institutional reasons, although the eunuchs interfered in politics, they could not have substantial power, and their power was dependent on the imperial power, so they were always the most loyal assistants of the royal family.

Even later generations such as Wei Zhongxian, who leaned towards the government and the opposition, were dismissed by Chongzhen's edict, and finally became a rat crossing the street, and everyone shouted and beat him!

It can be seen that the eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty are difficult to pose any threat to the imperial power, because they themselves are the imperial power, or the extension of the monarchy.

However, even so, any far-sighted emperor will not relax the training of eunuchs, and the famous celebrant is doing this in his own job, otherwise how can an illiterate eunuch carry the banner and contend with the cabinet and even the six ministries of the foreign dynasty, so as to implement the emperor's will?

Zhu Changluo didn't have such an institution as the celebrant at hand, so he could only go into battle in person, slowly cultivate Wang An's political sensitivity, and prepare for the future!

So from time to time, he would also talk to Wang An about some court affairs, intentionally or unintentionally, and nod him......

"You're right, every time the ministers of the foreign court make trouble with the country, the emperor's usual method is to give in and then throw out another thing to divert the attention of the courtiers!"

Putting down the pen in his hand, Zhu Changluo smiled and spoke.

This is indeed what Shenzong has always done, not to mention that when he was crowned the king of the county, didn't he reward Li Rusong and provoke the contradictions between the civil ministers and military generals to divert the attention of the courtiers?

It's a pity that the civil officials of the Ming Dynasty are very persistent, no matter what the big thing is, as long as it is solved, they will definitely turn around and come back to continue to fight the emperor with the country.

But this time it's a little different......

"Think about it, what happened this time, and who are involved? Jinyiwei and East Factory! One is the Son of Heaven's pro-army, the other is the Son of Heaven's domestic slave, to put it bluntly, it is the emperor's cronies, even if he doesn't want to talk to the courtiers anymore, he won't let the courtiers put their hands into this mess! ”

It's one thing to fight your own people, no matter how angry Sun Xian is with the emperor this time, and how outrageous Jinyiwei is, in the final analysis, both sides are their own people, whether they are rewarded or punished, it is the emperor's business, and it is not the turn of others to interfere.

What's more, the opinions of those Wenchen on Jinyiwei and Dongchang are not a day or two, as the emperor's minions, Jinyiwei and Dongchang, as well as Xichang, which has existed for a very short time, have been the nightmare of countless Wenchen, but if Wenchen catches the opportunity, they must be put to death.

This can be seen from the end of the Ming Dynasty, as soon as Chongzhen succeeded to the throne, the courtiers even ignored the partisan dispute, and rushed to impeach Wei Zhongxian first, and the deceived Chongzhen put his eunuchs in a nest, and in the end, the Tartars entered the customs, and the ministers surrendered faster than one another, but a few eunuchs, followed Chongzhen to the national disaster, I have to say that it is an extremely ironic thing!

retracted the thoughts that had drifted away, but Zhu Changluo returned his mind to business.

"What's going on in the palace? Is there a message coming out? ”

If he wants to change, he must be strong first, otherwise everything is not to be discussed, and the current plan is the most important thing!

"Back to His Royal Highness, there was news in the palace this morning, saying that yesterday's operation was very successful, and the Zheng family was really defenseless and fell into our trap, but unfortunately, yesterday the Empress Dowager recruited Concubine Zheng to the palace to avoid her grounding! Reputedly...... It's still the queen's love! Another point is that after the emperor returned to the palace, he summoned Chen Bingbi alone, and it is said that the two talked for a long time......"

When it came to business, Wang An didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly spoke.

Zhu Changluo groaned slightly, but there was no surprise.

"Don't worry about Concubine Zheng, you can go to Yongnian Bo's Mansion and tell that you can do it!"

Regarding the Zheng family, Zhu Changluo has her own thoughts in her heart, her status in the emperor's heart is not easy to shake, a woman who can spoil the harem for so many years is by no means just entertaining people with sex, her relationship with Zhu Yijun has begun to change in the direction of family affection, so in any case, as long as the emperor is still in the day, her status in the harem is unshakable, and she has only repeatedly punished her for grounding, and the most serious one is just to take away the golden seal, in fact, her status has not changed.

As for the grounding or something, it's just a momentary pleasure, Zhu Changluo's plan this time is to comprehensively attack the power of the Zheng family in the court, so as to exchange for a period of calm time to let himself develop.

On the queen's side, it is indeed Zhu Changluo's meaning, since the emperor has already visited the Zheng family, it is estimated that her grounding days are almost over, it is better to take this credit on the queen Wang......

Now that the arrangement of the harem has been completed, then next, it depends on the game of the foreign dynasty, he has been arranging it for so long, and it is finally the most critical time...... (To be continued.) )
