readx; On February 12, the sixth year of the Apocalypse, Empress Dowager Zhang issued an edict: "I hereby follow the last order of the first emperor and restore Zhu Yiluo to the throne of King Qin." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info His daughter, Zhu Cunqi, the lord of Lishan, is elegant and elegant, worthy of today, and is ordered to temporarily live in the original Xin Palace, and enter the palace at the same time after the concubine arrives in Beijing. ”

The ministers were not too surprised by this news, because there had long been rumors in Beijing that Emperor Chongzhen entered Beijing because he was unwilling to let Zhu Cunqi be robbed by Wei Liangqing. It was normal for the emperor to have three palaces and six courts, and intermarriages between clans also abounded, not to mention that the blood relationship between the Qin Wang line and the Yan Wang line has been far apart so far, so no one raised any objections.

Zhu Yiluo was even more ecstatic, he naturally knew that his throne was lost and regained, and it was completely stained with his daughter's light. Therefore, he did not spare his family wealth, and ordered someone to immediately go back to Xi'an Mansion to buy a dowry, at least a few hundred thousand taels, so as to show that he had a close relationship between King Qin and the current emperor.

However, some ministers still think that the emperor should be pure-hearted and have few desires, and it is best to be a monk who does not eat fireworks in the world after giving birth to the crown prince, and devote all his energy to the government and politics, so as to be regarded as a generation of Ming monarchs. No, the next day, there was Yuan Keli's protégé, Huang Daozhou Shangshu, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, who thought that although the emperor's concubine was in line with the etiquette law, but now it was when the construction was rampant and the imperial court's plan was undecided, so he suggested that Chongzhen should suspend the concubine and wait until the construction was pacified.

Zhu Youzhen smiled when he saw it, and directly left the recital. The so-called "stay in China" means that the minister's recital is neither approved nor rejected, but directly shelved and hung up the minister. In the Wanli and Apocalypse years, a large number of pieces were left behind, and they have always been criticized by the courtiers, which is considered to be one of the signs of the emperor's lazy government.

However, Zhu Youzhen thinks that you have to refute a piece like Huang Daozhou, he is also out of loyalty and patriotism; But you have to approve of him, there is something in it that is really not true. Not to mention anything else, the ministers still have three wives and four concubines, even Huang Daozhou himself has one wife and one concubine. Now he doesn't let Zhu Youzhen accept the concubine, isn't this only allowing the people to set fires, and not allowing the state officials to light the lamps? Besides, how can the courtiers know the relationship between Zhu Youzhen and Zhu Cunqi?

Of course, at Zhu Cunqi's insistence, Zhu Youzhen did not force her to enter the palace immediately, but waited until Qi Meifeng arrived in Beijing to canonize her. Therefore, apart from Huang Daozhou, there were no other ministers who paid attention to this matter, and they still devoted their main energy to arguing whether they should make peace with Huang Taiji.

Seeing that the two factions were arguing, Zhu Youzhen did not express his position, and only asked the cabinet to send the matter to the governors of various localities to listen to opinions extensively.

After another ten days or so, the governors of various places and some local officials gradually sent to the Beijing Division, but this time it was the Lord and the faction that prevailed. Because these officials were very shrewd, they knew that this was not the time to play heroes, and whoever wanted to be a hero, the emperor might send someone to Liaodong to fight the Jurchens. Yang Hao, Xiong Tingbi, Wang Huazhen... How many capable people have been planted in Liaodong, and they weigh their own weight, I'm afraid it's not as good as others, why do you want to join in this excitement?

However, most of those who supported the main battle faction were some speech officials, who only knew the general righteousness and face, but did not understand the real situation in Liaodong, and even more ignorant of military affairs, so they could only blindly shout and fight, but as for how to fight, they could not say, so they gradually fell behind in the debate.

At the same time, Zhu Youzhen recalled the eunuchs from various places to guard the eunuchs, and these people also returned one after another at this time. There are town guards and eunuchs in all provinces and towns across the country, and there are more than 20 in total. Due to the fall of Wei Zhongxian, some of his cronies, such as Wang Chaofeng and Liu Ruoyu, were arrested and imprisoned on charges of treason, and a large number of vacancies appeared in the 24th prison. Especially the celebrant eunuchs, the imperial horse eunuchs and the East Factory who hold real power make these eunuchs salivate.

And the eunuch Wang Tiqian, who is in charge of the seal, is very old, and many people think that the emperor recalled the eunuchs this time to reorganize the eunuchs and Dongchang. Whoever can win the favor of the emperor at this juncture means that power and wealth are rolling in, and they can't stop it.

Therefore, as soon as these eunuchs returned to Beijing, they immediately launched public relations activities. Usually, the courtiers begged the eunuchs to do something, but at this time, it was the other way around, and many eunuchs went to the cabinet and the six important ministers, hoping that they could say a few good words for themselves in front of the emperor.

Surprisingly, however, the emperor was in no hurry to receive them. It wasn't until February 25 that Li Feng, the last eunuch guarding the town and the farthest eunuch in Guangdong City, arrived, and Chongzhen finally issued an edict: Tomorrow's court meeting, all the eunuchs guarding the town and the chief eunuchs of the 24 eunuchs in the palace will participate together.

As soon as the decree came out, the ministers were talking about it again. Because although the eunuchs have great actual power, they do not belong to the imperial court officials, but belong to the inner servants, and they are not qualified to attend the court meeting. This time, at least dozens of ministers were indignant and wrote a concert overnight, intending to criticize the emperor once at the court meeting tomorrow.

In the early morning of the next day, the hundred officials came to the Qianqing Gate early, but found that today was different from the past, in addition to Yan Ling and other personnel of the guard regiment, Li Laiheng, the actual person in charge of the Five Cities Terracotta Division, also appeared at the palace gate, and he was draped all over his body, looking majestic and murderous.

Of course, there are nearly a hundred more eunuchs today. The eunuch was ordered to go to the court, which is a grace that no dynasty or generation has ever had, so these people are also triumphant, squinting at the hundred officials, that means that you don't feel that you are full of wealth, our family does not know a basket of big words, as long as you go out and take a knife, now you are not on par with you!

Su Yu Zhu came by the inspection on the dragon chariot, and the ministers and eunuchs knelt down the mountain and shouted long live. It's all old-fashioned, and it's not unusual.

When Zhu Youzhen ascended to the throne, headed by Huang Daozhou, dozens of courtiers went out together and said: "The ministers think that it is not appropriate to let the eunuchs come to the court, and I hope that Your Majesty will issue an order to let him retreat quickly!" ”

When the eunuchs heard this, they stared at them with anger, and some of them scolded at the top of their throats: "Long live the Lord let our family come, and you dare to resist and disobey the order, it's really the opposite!" After annoying the Lord Banzai for a while, I have to execute the court staff for you, and don't blame our subordinates for being merciless when the time comes! ”

"What are you arguing about?" Zhu Youzhen on the throne suddenly spoke, and the Qianqing Palace immediately fell silent. Both the courtiers and the eunuchs looked at the emperor expectantly, hoping that the emperor would be on their side.

Zhu Youzhen smiled coldly, called Li Laiheng to his side, took out a holy decree that had been prepared and handed it to him, and only said one word: "Xuan!" ”

Li Laiheng immediately unfolded the holy decree and recited it aloud: "Fengtian carries the emperor's system: The system of eunuchs began in the Warring States, and not all of them were filled by castrated people, and by the time of the Eastern Han Dynasty, all eunuchs were used, and their methods destroyed and injured men, and they were better than all punishments. I think that I am a selfish, and the forbidden palace is forbidden to make tens of millions of men unfilial, which is really not done by Renjun.

"There are many eunuchs who do evil, if Wei Zhongxian and others are the extreme. Although all dynasties have strict orders, eunuchs are not allowed to interfere in politics, but the eunuchs are constantly suffering, why not? All because the eunuchs are close to the emperor, the fox is fake and the tiger is mighty. And if he is condemned by heaven, but the disaster has been accomplished, and he harms others and himself, does not it lead me to think deeply!

"Therefore, I have mercy on his body, and I can't bear to create any more trouble, so from now on, the eunuch system will be abolished, and the existing eunuchs will all be returned to the people, and no one will be a eunuch in the future, so I will do this!"
