"Stand up, dignified Xuanfu Town Chief Soldier, can't you even straighten your waist?" Seeing Jiang Fu's appearance as if his bones had been sucked away, Zhu Qizhen, who was angry in his heart, couldn't help but scold coldly.

"Thank Your Majesty for the grace of not sinning, those fields and real estate, all the ministers will be handed over to Your Majesty to dispose of, and the future ministers will never dare to commit it again, if not, they are willing to fall on the ground and die." Jiang Fu bowed to the ground again, and after swearing gratefully, he stood up cautiously and stood beside him.

"Those border troops who are slaves and servants in your house will be transferred first." Zhu Qizhen thought for a while, and then commanded: "I will appease them first, even if they are released into the army at this time, they will inevitably have resentments in their hearts, and when the time comes, I don't know if they will cause any trouble." Alas......" Zhu Qizhen couldn't help but glared at Jiang Fu with hatred. Jiang Fu's eyelids jumped and his head hung even lower.

"The eunuch Yan Shun of Xuanfu is orthodox for thirteen years, and I personally refer to the place where Xuanfu is guarded. I remember that in the land of Xuanfu, in addition to the eunuchs guarding the town, there were also four garrison eunuchs. Zhu Qizhen stroked his furrowed brows, and his expression revealed a hint of strangeness and bitterness. Since these ministers left the town of Xuanfu, they usually sit and enjoy honor, but they do not care about the feudal territory, deduct military salaries, occupy soldiers, and even poison the people of Xuanfu. I never thought that I would send such a bastard to Xuanfu. ”

"Your Majesty, the old minister is also responsible." When Luo Hengxin heard this, he couldn't help but fall to the ground, looking ashamed.

"What responsibility do you have, you have fought with it for the people many times, Xuanfu Li Shu, if it weren't for you, a pro-people official who is dedicated to governing things for the people, I wouldn't know what the chaos would have been." Zhu Qizhen raised his hand to help Luo Hengxin up, looking at this old man who was nearly seventy years old and still working hard, he couldn't help but feel a little sour.

"The eunuchs in the town are guarded, and the general soldiers in the border towns are coerced and often feared. Although Yang Qing is a veteran of the Ming Xuanfu and is often elbowed by him, he can't do anything about it. Even often impeached, alas, let the eunuchs supervise the army to divide the town, and the eunuchs on each side of the town are said to be more and more, as a prestige, unauthorized use of prestige, stirring up trouble, has become a great trouble for my Ming Dynasty. The more Zhu Qizhen spoke, the more angry he became, and the evil fire in his heart soared upward.

"Today, the reason why I don't take them is not because I don't dare to touch them, but because I don't want to move, I haven't collected enough evidence, I really want to see how many eunuchs who have only been here in Xuanfu for a few months and have been in Xuanfu for a few years, how many military salaries have been deducted in Xuanfu, how many border army soldiers have been served, and how many people have been displaced in the border towns of Xuanfu......"

-------------------- "I want to write out the account one by one, calculate it clearly, and when the time comes, I can give a good explanation to the soldiers and civilians of Xuanfu." Zhu Qizhen's voice became more and more gloomy, and the killing intent that overflowed from the middle of the two eagles made Jiang Fu can't help but shiver. As if he had seen a row of cold and bright butcher knives swinging, and then slashed down, bringing up a tide of blood like pulp and water...... "Your Majesty rest assured, no matter what, the old minister will definitely try to find evidence, and ask Your Majesty to be the master of the military and people in the border town of Xuanfu, and show his might." fell into Luo Hengxin's eyes, but it made this old minister of Xuanfu tremble with excitement. If it weren't for the fact that he was a scholar who was powerless, if it weren't for the fact that he was taking care of the more than 100,000 soldiers and civilians in the border town of Xuanfu, this old man surnamed Blazing would really want to mention the three-foot Qingfeng in order to take the head of the eunuch.

Now, the Emperor Taishang had already spoken in front of himself and Jiang Fu, the two highest officials in the border town of Xuanfu, Luo Hengxin naturally raised his hands in agreement. At least, Luo Hengxin hopes to see the Emperor Tai under the city of Xuanfu again, wielding a knife to kill the heroic demeanor of Liu Shanzhong.

"I want to let everyone in Xuanfu Border Town know who is in charge now. If you don't kill a group of eunuchs, the hatred in my heart will be hard to eliminate, and if you don't kill a group of people to establish your authority, Xuanfu is civil and military, how will you listen to me? Zhu Qizhen glanced at the two of them and said lightly.

For Zhu Qizhen's bare land, arrogant to the extreme, the two of them did not dare to have the slightest idea except for awe, after all, Zhu Qizhen is the emperor, who has been the son of the emperor for nearly fifteen years, and today's son also respectfully asks him to supervise the affairs of the border town of Xuanfu, who dares to stop it?

What's more, although Zhu Qizhen's words were only aimed at eunuchs, they did not mean to knock these two top civil and military officials of Xuanfu, so that they could understand that they were the masters of the border towns of Xuanfu.

"I am telling you to do things today, don't leak it." After Zhu Qizhen paused, his voice softened, and he commanded the two people.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, the ministers will definitely only leak a word." The two didn't dare to slack off, and replied in unison.

"Okay, you guys go back first, Jiang Fu, your mansion and land are even temporarily left in your hands, if these are the words, those eunuchs who guard the town come to look for you again, you might as well entrust the false snake, I don't want to alarm them now, you know?" Zhu Qizhen instructed Jiang Fu again.

"Your Majesty rest assured, the minister will definitely work hard and not disappoint Your Majesty." Jiang Fu said solemnly.

Watching the embarrassed Jiang Fu and the energetic Luo Hengxin leave the pavilion and disappear out of his sight, Zhu Qizhen sat back on the stone bench in the pavilion and commanded Nian Ning beside him, Nian Ning nodded and turned around and left the pavilion.

And Yuan Bin, who had been standing beside Zhu Qizhen, cleared his throat and said: "Your Majesty, the town guards and garrison eunuchs in Xuanfu Border Town are all ministers, will you embarrass Banzai today?" ”

"What about embarrassment? Of these five eunuchs, four of them were pointed out by me when I was in power, and I didn't expect that these eunuchs would cause resentment among the people. Zhu Qizhen shook his head with a smile and said. If I want to master the Xuanfu, I must come up with some iron-blooded means, however, the civil and military officials, even if they are corrupt, can still manage the military and civil affairs, and these eunuchs can be said to be insufficient in success and more than defeat. If I don't clean up these bastards who suck people's fat and people's ointment first, how can I obey? I guess I can make up for the mistakes I made in the past. ”

"Your Majesty can do this, not only for the well-being of the military and civilians in the border towns of Xuanfu, but also for the well-being of the military and civilians of the world." Yuan Bin also bowed his head slightly, indeed, although Zhu Qizhen is the emperor, when today's son respectfully asked Zhu Qizhen to supervise the border town of Xuanfu, however, the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty has countless cases of disobedience to the yang and yin, which is the will of the Son of Heaven, and it is often regarded as the wind in the ears of the ministers.

Therefore, there is no doubt that Zhu Qizhen must be prestigious. And take the eunuch who is despised and contemptuous by everyone in the world and has the greatest public anger as a model, not only can he win the hearts of the soldiers and people in the border towns of Xuanfu, but also can win the favor of most local officials in the Ming Dynasty.

-------------------- so-called town guard and garrison were originally the titles of military generals. One side of the town is guarded, and one of the towns is guarded. Generally speaking, the chief officer served as the town guard, and the garrison was served by the staff general.

However, with the expansion of the power of eunuchs, the guards and garrisons in various places were gradually controlled by this generation. Tracing its historical traces, Yongle has seen the clues. Emperor Jianwen adhered to Zhu Yuanzhang's legacy and was very strict with eunuchs. And after his uncle Zhu Di raised his army, the eunuchs turned against him and went to his camp to report all kinds of political and military secrets of the court as a welcome gift for the new master.

After Zhu Di ascended the throne, these eunuchs invited merit, and Zhu Di selected a group of them, and went with Gu Cheng, Han Guan, He Fu, etc., who went out of Guizhou, Guangxi, and Ningxia, but "giving the prince and the marquis, and the generals were on the throne", which is enough to show that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty has taken an extreme turn and change in dealing with the eunuchs.

In the last years of Yongle, the eunuchs on all sides of the town gradually became more and more, and they were powerful and blessed, and there was a great tendency to replace the chief military officer. Shi Zai: "Since Emperor Wen appointed the eunuch to supervise the army and divide the town, he used Weifu without authorization, stirred up incidents, and the general army of the border town was coerced for a while, and he was often afraid of it. ”

Subsequently, the title of town guard eunuch finally officially appeared. In February of the first year of Hongxi, Renzong, that is, Zhu Zhu Gaochi, the grandfather of Zhu Qizhen, "supervised the chief military officer of Gansu and guarded the eunuch Wang An", which was exactly given the title of eunuch guard.

In the first year of Xuande, the Han king Zhu Gaoxu rebelled, and Xuanzong sent the commander Tan Shun, the internal official Huang Rang, and the internal envoy Chen Jinzhu Pingjiangbo Chen Qi to guard Huai'an, which indicates that the eunuchs have begun to serve as the inland guards.

In the more than ten years of Zhu Qizhen's reign, due to the sharpening of social contradictions, Ye Zongliu and Deng Mao's seven uprisings broke out in Fujian.

After the defeat of Tumubao, Zhu Qiyu, a good brother, continued to carry forward his brother's style, and set up town guard eunuchs in all dangerous places, and in just half a year, dozens of eunuchs were sent to guard or garrison various places, and the highest position of town guard eunuchs, together with the chief military officer and governor, were called Santang.

“…… It's just that Your Majesty, if you do this, will someone else attack you for corrupting the ancestral system? After all, the eunuchs are divided into various parts of the town, and the origin is the ancestor, and Emperor Renzong is even more clear and guarding the name of the eunuch. Yuan Bin furrowed his brows, and said with some concern.

"It's okay, hum the ancestral system, when it comes to the ancestral system, we should take the ancestral teachings of Emperor Taizu first." Zhu Qizhen grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, which was extraordinarily shiny. "As the so-called time shift and change of law have been carried out, now, since the system of eunuch guards has become a malpractice, endangering our people, the army and the people, and it is equivalent to endangering the cornerstone of my Ming Dynasty and society, how can I not get rid of it, do I have to wait until my Ming Dynasty is full of evils, and the autumn of crisis survival is not successful?"

"But Your Majesty, you are the Emperor, not the Son of today." Yuan Bin gritted his teeth and craned his neck.
