In the feudal government, there was a focus on factions. As an important part of the political system of the Ming Dynasty, the inner court composed of eunuchs at all levels was also a part of the feudal government, and the eunuchs were also factional.

Mu Nan, the eunuch guarding the town of Chengtianfu, was not from Wei Zhongxian's line. Thinking about it, if Mu Nan was Wei Zhongxian's person, he would not have been sent to a ghost place like Anlu Prefecture where birds don't and there is no oil and water to retire.

As a high-ranking eunuch who was obviously neglected and placed in the cold unlike Wei Zhongxian's faction, Mu Nan was very fierce about all the people and forces related to Wei Zhongxian. For example, now, after hearing his staff mention that behind the big manor (farm) in Jingmen Prefecture was Wang Shuhui, the general soldier of Huguang, and Wang Shuhui had a close relationship with Wei Zhongxian, Mu Nan screamed like a cat with its tail stepped on.

"What a rebellious and arrogant Wang Shuhui! is just a small general soldier, just because he hugged Wei Zhongxian's thigh, even the ancestors of several generations of emperors dared to invade privately. Could it be that because there was a Wei Zhongxian to support him, he thought that no one in the world could cure him! This world is still the emperor's world, no matter how big Wei Zhongxian is, the emperor can't go! ”

All the power of the eunuchs came from the emperor. Although Mu Nan, the old eunuch, is now almost exiled. But he was well versed in the art of political struggle. As soon as he figured out the relationship between Wang Shuhui and Wei Zhongxian, he familiarly connected the farm with Wang Shuhui by absorbing fugitive military households, and then took the opportunity to contact Wang Shuhui and Wei Zhongxian.

In the end, he characterized the construction of the Fuxing Society's farm on the ground of Chengtianfu and the absorption of the fugitive military households of Chengtianwei as "invasion of the imperial tomb". In this way, he easily detained Wang Shuhui for such a huge crime as "violating the imperial tomb", and pointed the finger at Wei Zhongxian.

Although eunuchs do not accumulate their own experience in political struggles by reading a large number of historical books like civil officials, the eunuchs also know how those predecessors who once dominated the upper echelons of the Ming Dynasty were defeated.

Starting from the experience of the fall of big eunuchs like Liu Jin and Feng Bao, they found that it was definitely not their political opponents who brought down the eunuchs, but those civil officials who formed a group and formed a party, and when they moved, they were a lump of civil officials. The only ones who can make those great predecessors who hold great power lose their power and die, are those who are said by civil officials to be deceived emperors.

Mu Nan, who has been up and down in the inner court all his life, knows that what can harm Wei Zhongxian in such a powerful eunuch is definitely not those crimes such as corruption and degeneration, forming a party for personal gain. He knew that as long as Wei Zhongxian could take care of the home of the Ming Dynasty and be in the deep palace, the Emperor of the Apocalypse, who had been pondering carpenter's skills all day long, would never lose trust in Wei Zhongxian because of those so-called crimes. Only by constantly attacking Wei Zhongxian's disloyalty to the emperor and the emperor can Wei Zhongxian finally lose the favor of the emperor and finally fall down.

The reason why Mu Nan was very excited when he heard that the backstage of the farm was Wang Shuhui, who had a close relationship with Wei Zhongxian, was that he had discovered an excellent material from this matter that could attack Wei Zhongxian.

If you think about it, you can understand that if the emperor finds out that Wei Zhongxian's cronies have harassed his ancestral tomb, then the emperor will soon come to the conclusion that Wei Zhongxian lacks reverence for himself and belittles him. In this way, Wei Zhongxian will lose points in front of the emperor, and the eunuchs of his own family will have another chance.

As for whether Wang Shuhui really violated the imperial tomb, and as for whether Jingmen Prefecture is still two or three hundred miles away from the imperial tomb, for Mu Nan, who is making up nonsense all day long and talking nonsense all the time, this is not a problem at all.

For Mu Nan, an opposition party to Wei Zhongxian's ruling group who is currently in control of the Ming Dynasty's government, he knows very well that a person like Wei Zhongxian, who is a eunuch but relies on the emperor's authorization to fully grasp the political power of the Ming Dynasty, and gives the black pot to the Emperor of the Apocalypse who likes carpenter's craftsmanship and neglects his government, the end of this kind of person is generally not very good.

If Wei Zhongxian was like Feng Bao's predecessors back then, Zhang Juzheng, a powerful minister outside, as a political partner, Empress Dowager Li as a power to rely on, and it was Emperor Wanli, the son of Emperor Longqing, who inherited the throne of Emperor Longqing, Wei Zhongxian would still have the good result of waiting for death in Nanjing like Feng Bao's predecessors.

But at present, it seems that Wei Zhongxian not only does not have a strong civil official as a partner in the outer court, but he just got a group of subordinates to be his lackeys, and there is no serious master in the inner court to make Wei Zhongxian a backer, and more importantly, the only son of the Emperor of the Apocalypse has died, and the possibility of his younger brother King Xinwang Chitose inheriting the throne is becoming more and more obvious.

This kind of internal and external difficulties, and the fact that the heir to the throne has not put much effort into it, means that once the Emperor of the Apocalypse ascends to heaven, then Wei Zhongxian's defeat is an inevitable result.

Therefore, for Mu Nan, who sees reality very clearly, as long as he shows an obvious attitude of being against Wei Zhongxian at present, and even does not really anger Wei Zhongxian, as long as he maintains such an attitude, he is very likely to get a better opportunity in the future change of the throne.

In his opinion, although he definitely can't become the new emperor's personal closer, there is still a possibility that he can go further and wear the mixed python robe of the celebrant supervisor.

Therefore, Mu Nan, who figured out the origin of the matter, thought that he had figured out the details of the Fuxing Society's farm, and understood the background of Wang Shuhui, the general soldier of Huguang, immediately ordered his staff to help him draft two documents.

One of these documents was reported to the Cabinet Celebrant of Ceremonies. The main content is the complaint letter of Wang Shuhui, the general soldier of Huguang, who invaded the Mintian construction estate. The other document was sent by him to the Yamen of the Governor of Huguang in the name of the eunuch guarding the town of Chengtianfu. In the document, he asked the governor of Huguang to restrain and reprimand Wang Shuhui for his unruly actions.

For Mu Nan, it doesn't matter to him at all whether these two documents have any effect and whether they will really have a certain blow to Wang Shuhui. And he also knew that at present, whether it was the center of the inner court or the Huguang place, it was controlled by Wei Zhongxian's cronies. These documents will not cause any harm to Wang Shuhui in any real sense.

But what he really wants is not to cause any harm to Wang Shuhui. His original intention was not to be an enemy of Wang Shuhui. In his eyes, the general soldier of a place sounds quite big, but in fact, it can't be put in his eyes at all. The reason why he did this was just that he showed an attitude of not dealing with Wei Zhongxian and fighting against Wei Zhongxian in both the inner court and the outer court.

His main energy was to send people to Beijing to liaise with the eunuchs in King Xin's mansion, to express his disagreement with Wei Zhongxian and his admiration for King Xin's Chitose. Space-Time Gate 1619
