The Imperial Horse Prison Office on the east side of the palace, as the second largest yamen in the inner court after the celebrant eunuch, is naturally sacred and inviolable in the eyes of all eunuchs and palace maids. In order www.biquge.info to avoid provoking or colliding with the eunuchs who came out of the Imperial Horse Prison, everyone in the inner court would carefully walk around the gate of the Imperial Horse Prison when they arrived at the door of the Imperial Horse Prison.

But today is a little different, when a little eunuch who is a metropolitan eunuch passes in front of the imperial horse eunuch, he finds that there are many palace maids and eunuchs gathered at the door of the deserted imperial horse eunuch in the past.

As a young eunuch who has been in the inner court for many years, he has naturally learned a lot of basic skills in observing words and feelings. At a glance, I knew that something must have happened to the Imperial Horse Supervisor, and it must be a big deal, otherwise it would be impossible for so many people to dare to gather where to watch, after all, what kind of place is the Imperial Horse Supervisor.

He couldn't help but lean in curiosity, but he heard a lot of whispered discussions.

"What the hell is going on?"

"You don't know yet? The great eunuch Ning Gonggong was arrested by the emperor. ”

"Father-in-law Ning, seeing that he was so arrogant in the past, let's change my head now! It is estimated that whether the life can be saved this time is a problem. ”

"You're just a villain, and you'll only fall into ......"

"Isn't this Min Jue, the secretary of the Criminal Department? Why did he run to the Imperial Horse Prison to arrest people, as a foreign minister, he dared to meddle in the affairs of the inner court, and the emperor didn't care? ”

"How? It was the emperor who asked him to arrest people......"

The little eunuch listened for a long time and didn't hear anything, so he had to ask, "What happened to the Imperial Horse Supervisor?" ”

A person next to him glanced at him and said lightly, "Why do you know so much?" However, he still didn't keep his mouth shut, "I heard that it was the matter of the Imperial Horse Supervisor who had falsely registered for empty salaries, and the emperor sent Min Qi, the secretary of the Criminal Department, to thoroughly investigate the case. ”

"Why don't you send Dongchang or Zejin Yiwei to investigate this case?"

"Who knows? Since fainting in front of the coffin of the first emperor, the emperor's memory has had problems, not only can he not remember the past, but even now he is acting a little strangely, as if he is evil. ”

"Shhhhh The emperor is also something you can discuss? ”

There was a crisp sound of "pop", and the person gave himself a big ear scraper, "Look at my mouth, brother, don't sue me." As he spoke, he gave himself a big ear scraper.

"Alright, I'm ......"

At this time, the crowd of onlookers naturally separated, and a white-haired official walked out of the crowd first, it was Min Jue, the secretary of the Criminal Department. After that, the eunuchs who were brought to be investigated were all depressed, and their eyes were blank and numb for everyone to watch.

It wasn't until these people disappeared around the corner that the crowd dispersed in the midst of the chatter.

"It seems like it's been a long time since something so big has happened in the inner court......"

"Yes, it seems that it was still a matter of the time when the first emperor ascended the throne."

"Hey, the world is impermanent!"

"yes......"

……

Cabinet duty inside the room.

Looking at the back of the little eunuch leaving, Liu Jian slowly opened the holy decree in his hand. After looking at it for a long time, he couldn't help but sigh, "The emperor is getting more and more incomprehensible!" ”

"Elder Ge, what's wrong?" Li Dongyang, who was sitting on the side, was a little curious about what was written in this holy decree, which would make this bigwig who had been in the officialdom for many years sigh with such emotion.

"Look at it." Liu Jian handed the holy decree to Li Dongyang, and couldn't help but say again, "What do you say is the emperor's attitude towards the eunuchs and eunuchs in the palace?" ”

This is a holy decree to abolish all the eunuchs guarding the town, and when Li Dongyang read it, he also felt that it was somewhat subverting the image of the current saint in his mind. After all, this is something that Emperor Xiaozong, who is known as the "Ming Jun", did not do, and it was actually done by a new monarch who had just ascended the throne in the minds of the courtiers and favored eunuchs, which was ...... This plot reversed too quickly.

However, Li Dongyang thought about it carefully, but he didn't think it was a surprise. After all, the reason why the ministers of the court and the central government said that the new monarch favored the eunuchs was not only because he favored Liu Jin and the eight people who were bewitched by him when he was in the East Palace, but also because he handed over all the music to Liu Jin for approval as soon as he ascended the throne. But other than that, the emperor doesn't seem to have done anything too out of the ordinary. Moreover, judging from the Jiangnan earthquake, His Majesty is still very concerned about the major affairs of the country.

"Your Majesty has both precautions and dependence on the eunuchs in the palace." Li Dongyang took the holy decree and said in a deep voice.

Liu Jian looked at him with some confusion, "What does Chaling mean?" ”

"The elder should have heard the phrase 'once a son of heaven and a courtier'." Li Dongyang said to him with a smile, "Your Majesty has just ascended the throne, and you need to rely on this group of old ministers in the DPRK and China for everything. However, it is obvious that the emperor does not trust you and me and other old ministers, so he naturally needs to promote eunuchs to check and balance. However, the emperor obviously didn't trust the eunuchs very much, so he dismissed all the eunuchs. ”

"Doesn't the emperor trust the eunuchs, how is it possible?" Liu Jian shook his head with some suspicion. After all, the three of them had been appointed by Emperor Xiaozong to give lectures to the crown prince in the East Palace. Naturally, I knew that the East Palace was made a miasma by Liu Jin's general eunuchs at that time, and even the prince Zhu Houzhao at that time was stunned for a while, and he was quite fond of Liu Jin's eight people. Now I heard Li Dongyang say that the emperor didn't believe in the eunuchs, are you kidding me?

Facing Liu Jian's questioning gaze, Li Dongyang chuckled and did not defend, but said, "At least Liu Jin and others have not really been able to do politics now, which is a good thing." If it really comes to that point, it seems that I can only take the old man and my old life, and try my best to persuade the emperor. ”

Listening to Li Dongyang's witty words, Liu Jian couldn't laugh. The great cause of the Ming Dynasty has just ushered in a glimmer of light, but the helmsman of this big ship has died young, and the new successor at the helm is not only young but also looks very unreliable. Thinking that the career that he has fought for for half his life is likely to die halfway, no one can be happy. Now I only hope that the new monarch can not favor the eunuchs as Li Dongyang said, inherit the will of the first emperor, and prosper the Ming Dynasty, so that he will not live up to the dying will of the first emperor.

"I hope so!" Liu Jian sighed lightly, "First send this holy decree to the Ministry of Officials to transcribe Huang and then send it to various places." ”

……

In the Maoqin Hall next to the Qianqing Palace.

"Liu Jin, what is a missionary?"

Zheng De naturally didn't know that there were two people who were worrying about him. Instead, he looked at the last time Liu Jian made a large list of suggestions and rewrote the piece that was submitted, and looked at Liu Jin on the side suspiciously, "The ministers were all appointed by the emperor himself, and they have not been selected by the imperial examination, nor have they been selected by the ministry or promoted by the court and the minister. ”

"Looks like there's a back door everywhere!" Zheng De shook his head and said lightly, "Since that's the case, then all of them should be removed." Also, what is the place of the Inner Carrier House and the Key Treasury? ”

"The Holy Lord doesn't even know where the Inner Transport Mansion and the Key Treasury are, and it seems that his head is really injured!" Liu Jin couldn't help but sigh in his heart, but he explained, "The Inner Carrier Mansion is one of the ten mansions of the Inner Library, storing satin, gold and silver, precious jade, tooth horns, feathers, gold and silver ......."

"Wait, you can first introduce to me what the ten mansions of the inner library are used for." Zheng De was confused when he heard this, so he had to stop Liu Jin from continuing.

"The ten prefectures of the inner library are the inner carrier library, the Guangji library, the A library, the B library, the C library, the D library, the E library, the stolen penalty library, the Guanghui library and the Guangying library. The inner carrier house belongs to the inner treasury of the Long Live Lord, storing satin, gold and silver, precious jade, tooth horns, feathers, gold and silver. Guangji Warehouse, E-character Library, and Guangying Library are under the control of the Ministry of Industry, storing sulfur, saltpeter, jiatong, silk, leno, silk brocade, and silk. The A-word library, the C-shaped library, the T-shaped library, the stolen penalty library, and the Guanghui library are all owned by the household department, and the cloth, pigments, cotton, silk, copper and iron, animal skins, sumac, confiscated official property and money are stored. The B word library belongs to the military department, and stores fat jackets, combat shoes and sergeants' fur hats. ”

Although Zheng De was still a little confused when he heard it, he probably understood what the inner treasury was, that is, it was similar to the nature of the modern treasury, but there were too many messy things in it.

"What is that gold?"

"Gold and silver are the silver collected from taxes and grains."

"And where is the private key vault?"

"Store the keys of each yamen, and also store money."

"Is it in the inner court or the outer court?"

"Managed by the Inner Court." Zheng Decheng looked like a curious baby, and Liu Jinhan, who asked, was about to come out. But fortunately, the former finally stopped at this time, and it also gave him a chance to breathe.

"Liu Ge Lao said in this inscription that the internal carrier treasury has accumulated more than 100,000 years of silver, and the key treasury has stored millions of money, and there is no account book record, what is going on?" Zheng De frowned slightly when he saw this, and looked at Liu Jin with unkind eyes. The latter is naturally also a person who is good at observing words and feelings, and when he saw this, he quickly defended, "The old slave has been serving the Long Live Lord in the East Palace before, and this matter is not very clear. But these are all managed by the Imperial Horse Warden, maybe they know better. ”

"Imperial Horse Supervisor? Sure enough, it's a nest of moths! It seems that Ning Jin and the others really didn't make a mistake. Zheng De couldn't help but sigh lightly, and instructed Liu Jin, "Go and notify the secretary of the Criminal Department, let him track down the stolen money that Ning Jin and others embezzled, and recover as much as possible if they can be recovered, and all of them will be charged into the treasury for me." ”

"The slave obeys."

Liu Jin hesitated and couldn't help but ask again, "Your Majesty, what are you going to do with the Imperial Horse Supervisor?" ”

"What, do you want to go to the Imperial Horse Prison to be a palm seal eunuch?" Zheng De looked at him and asked.

When Liu Jin heard this, he hurriedly sneered, "How can a slave and maid, how can she be such a big official as a eunuch with the palm seal of the imperial horse eunuch." I just hope to be able to serve in front of the Lord of Long Live day and night, which is a great blessing for slaves and maids. ”

"Don't mind! I don't want to get tired of spending time with you. Zheng De couldn't help but shudder when he heard this, how could he look like a homosexual, looking at him was a chill. I couldn't help but urge again, "Why don't you stay there if you don't go to pass the word?" ”

"Yes, slave and maid will go." Liu Jin went out at this time.

Looking at his departing back, Zheng De shook his head with a smile, "This Liu Jin is also an interesting person......
