Cao Huachun kowtowed three times! Covering his face, he sobbed in a low voice, "Long live the emperor!" ”

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen smiled slightly, holding the armrest of the dragon seat with one hand, supporting his head with the other, and sitting very casually, "I have already issued a clear edict, and whoever dares to cry in front of me is guilty of bullying the king!" From now on, the eunuchs of Dongchang will be assigned to the outer palace, and you will be fully responsible for moving all the objects in the outer palace within three days, and I will start demolition soon! There are many national affairs, and there is no time to delay. ”

Cao Huachun wiped his tears, "The old slave is rude, the old slave will go and arrange it, dare to ask the emperor, so many people, what should I do after I have done what the saint ordered?" ”

Zhu Youzhen groaned and looked at the big trees outside the window, the autumn leaves were withering and falling piece by piece!

He actually thought about it for a long time, and it was not easy to place these eunuchs! "In this way, you will select three hundred eunuchs with strong ability, understanding of government affairs, and writing skills from among the eunuchs of Dongchang to stay and fill the secretary's room! You are still the eunuch of Bingbi! These people have all given you a hand, I want to strengthen the imperial power and directly control the power of state affairs! These three hundred eunuchs have to be isolated from the world, and they are really not allowed to leave the palace for half a step! Secondly, select 300 strong eunuchs to fill the inner palace, I slowly think about it, these people, can they arrange some other things, in addition, the extra eunuchs let them be dismissed from the palace, all assigned to the imperial village to farm, do some work within their ability, Ouchi every month to these people, each of them allocated a tael of silver, it is considered a pension, until these people die! This specific list of candidates, you and Wang Chengen go to handle it together, the two of you must be both familiar with guò, so that you can be used as a candidate for retention, whether you go to Huangzhuang or stay in the palace, it is for me to do things. ”

Cao Huachun looked at the emperor in surprise, the emperor's intention was very clear! This is to start restricting eunuchs! "Your Majesty, although Dongchang's reputation is not good, after all, it is loyal to the emperor! If there is no restriction from Dongchang, the emperor is afraid that even if he gets the management of Jinyiwei, he will not be able to manage it effectively! ”

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen nodded with a smile, "Eunuchs can no longer be produced, I will issue an edict today, from now on, cancel the eunuch system, the eunuch system is indeed a system that goes against heaven and human ethics!" The palace and the princes are not allowed to levy eunuchs again! Eunuchs at the level of chief are not allowed to leave the capital, and eunuchs below the level of chief are not allowed to leave the palace or the imperial village for the rest of their lives! Without the eunuchs, I can still think of other ways to restrain the Jinyi Guard! In ancient times, when there were no eunuchs, life could still be lived, why can't it be lived now? You can rest assured, for every eunuch, I will consider placement, and I will not let them grow old and have nothing to rely on. ”

When Cao Huachun heard the emperor say this, he was so shocked that he didn't know what to say, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time! As an old eunuch, I suddenly heard such news, and I didn't know how to feel! Although he is a eunuch, most of the eunuchs also hate his body that is neither male nor female! But when it comes to the emperor suddenly ordering the abolition of the eunuch system, he has an inexplicable panic! That's a group of tens of thousands! And this group has existed for more than a thousand years! He didn't know what the consequences of the emperor's move would be! "Your Majesty, if this is the case, won't there be an imbalance of yin and yang in the palace?"

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen smiled slightly, "How come?" I'm enough for one person's yang energy! ”

Cao Huachun sighed secretly, and didn't dare to say anything, the emperor first wanted to demolish the palace, and then he wanted to dismiss and cancel the eunuch system, these are all cutting meat from himself! What king since ancient times didn't want the palace to be as big as possible? The more eunuchs you serve, the better? "Your Majesty, the old slave still has the courage to say that since ancient times, emperors need eunuchs, he is not accidental, eunuchs are helpless, and they are the most loyal people to the royal family in the world! Besides, the emperor's series of actions will also damage the majesty of the royal family! The emperor's house is different from the officials and the common people, and the necessary pomp and circumstance is still indispensable. Even if the emperor wants to save money, he doesn't have to be so himself. If the saint is worried about the situation of eunuch dictatorship again, the old slave can assure the saint that if every generation of emperors can be as diligent as the saint, this situation will never happen! The following autocratic power, in addition to the eunuchs, will also have the power of ministers, relatives, and all kinds of forces come out, most of which are caused by the emperor's negligence in the government, and it really can't all be blamed on the head of the eunuchs. ”

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen didn't explain anything to him, if he hadn't stayed in modern times for a long time, he knew that even if there was no eunuch group, it would not have any impact on society, and he wouldn't have thought of abolishing the eunuch system! "What you said, I know very well, I am not because of the eunuch dictatorship, I really don't want to have another tragedy of eunuchs! If I have the ability, I really hope that you can all get back to the chance of being a normal man! Don't say it, let's go, follow me to see Xu Yingyuan! ”

Cao Huachun was a little dazed for a while, he was now close to the emperor, but he didn't have a trace of joy, although the emperor's way of doing things was not ruthless, but it was absolutely unexpected! It's even a little overwhelming! Even though he has experienced several generations of emperors, Cao Huachun feels that he still can't understand this Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen at all!

Xu Yingyuan really only has half of his life left, Xu Xianchun's kick, although he didn't use all his strength, but for a pampered eunuch like Xu Yingyuan, it is enough to kill! "Your Majesty, how can the old slave let the emperor come to visit in person? The old slave can't afford it! ”

Zhu Youzhen smiled slightly and waved his hand, "Xu Yingyuan, you don't need to get up, you just lie down like this, I'll come to see if there's anything wrong with you?" Doctor, Xu Yingyuan's injuries are fine, right? ”

Seeing the emperor's inquiry, the imperial physician hurriedly knelt down and replied, "Gonggong Xu's injury is fine, but fortunately, Gonggong Xu's foundation is good, and he will be healed in half a month." It's just that you can't do strenuous exercise in the future, and you should pay attention to keeping your mood calm, because Grandpa Xu's spleen was kicked and damaged. ”

The emperor looked at Xu Yingyuan kindly, "Xu Yingyuan, you have suffered, I will give you justice, you must recuperate with peace of mind, in the past half a month, you don't have to care about anything, I am still waiting for you to come back and run an errand for me!" ”

Xu Yingyuan held back for a long time, but he didn't hold it back, he cried loudly, the emperor wanted to show concern for the eunuch, as long as it was like this, it was enough for the eunuch's ancestral tomb to smoke! Even if Wei Zhongxian had the same relationship with the Emperor of the Apocalypse, he hadn't heard of the reason why the emperor went directly to visit the eunuch! What's more, I'm still half a waste now! was kicked like this by that damn Xu Xianchun, and I didn't know how many more years I could live!

Cao Huachun on the side was also very moved, he couldn't figure out what kind of person the emperor was, but he already felt the emperor's softness!

Out of the Tai Hospital, Zhu Youzhen asked Cao Huachun, "You said that Wei Zhongxian selected the secret faction system and picked the rest of the people, does it mean that the current Jinyiwei is not as powerful as the Jinyiwei in the secret faction system?" ”

Cao Huachun nodded, "Most of them are, but not necessarily, Wei Zhongxian should also think more from the perspective of secrecy, many people in that system should be forty years old, thirty years old is at least, many people are probably more senior than Xu Xianchun, most of them are secret schools for many years, and they were handed over by Wei Zhongxian from the hands of the former factory father, therefore, the old slave and Xu Xianchun, and Xu Yingyuan will not know anything, these people's martial arts and skills are not necessarily stronger than the Jinyi Wei that the current emperor has mastered, But more experience, that's for sure. Because they are more experienced, these people hide deeper! It is likely to be the prime minister or the prince, or the hundred officials, or the old slaves of those gentry and big families, or even the wives and concubines of these surveillance targets, this is possible! The purpose of the secret sect is that for at least three years, no tasks will be arranged, and some people may have been lurking for more than twenty years! ”

Zhu Youzhen nodded slightly, a professional agent, it's really a lifelong career! If you think that your wife is an agent and has been spying on you all her life, how numbing would that be? "Do you have the ability to make them all loyal to me?"

Cao Huachun said cautiously, "Your Majesty, in fact, you have done a very good job of dividing this trick, but you may think that the structure of Jinyiwei is a little too simple, Wei Zhongxian is through Guò Xu Xianchun to control Jinyiwei, more than a dozen Tongzhi and thousands of households of Jinyiwei have been cultivated by Xu Xianchun for many years, the emperor asked Xu Yingyuan to replace Xu Xianchun, this trick seems direct, but it may not achieve the expected effect, of course, the list of these people has been mastered by the emperor, This can only ensure that these people will no longer cause any danger to the emperor, but if you want these people to be used by the emperor, you still need to put some effort. ”

Zhu Youzhen looked at Cao Huachun, "You mean, let me not deal with Xu Xianchun?" Let him out again? ”

Cao Huachun shook his head, "It's better not to, the emperor, there is no problem in removing Xu Xianchun, the key is to find a way to let Xu Xianchun provide another list in his hand to the emperor, so that the emperor can actually grasp these acquaintances and thousands of households on the bright side!" ”

Zhu Youzhen snorted and did not interrupt Cao Huachun's words, Cao Huachun continued, "Every Tongzhi and Qianhu, in fact, there are a lot of secret sects in their hands, which are not reported, on the one hand, for confidentiality, and on the other hand, it is also a way back for everyone to leave for themselves!" If Xu Xianchun is killed by the emperor now, then these people can't help but hide in advance! Not to mention escaping from the Beijing Division, even if he is hiding in this Beijing Division, with the ability of these people, it will be extremely difficult for the emperor to find out all these people. However, snakes have snake nests! As long as Xu Xianchun can tell the emperor the list of secret factions and secret strongholds he has mastered, the emperor will really have the actual control of Jinyiwei. ”

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen looked at Cao Huachun and didn't say anything, still waiting for Cao Huachun to continue.

Cao Huachun didn't know how to continue, in fact, when it came to this, it was already obvious! "Does the emperor want to know if Xu Xianchun will reveal his secret faction list and the secret strongholds and inventory of those secret faction personnel?"

Zhu Youzhen's mouth was slightly curled, and he blinked his eyes, looking a little cute, which meant to let Cao Huachun continue!

But Cao Huachun didn't have the heart to appreciate the emperor's expression, he was wondering, would the emperor let himself succeed Xu Xianchun? Now that Xu Yingyuan is seriously injured, it is either himself or Wang Chengen, and there is no more suitable candidate!

Cao Huachun tried hard to calm the excitement in his heart, with a calm expression, "The emperor doesn't have to worry, Xu Xianchun is not Wei Zhongxian, although this person is ruthless, he is not enough for the city!" It can be seen from the fact that he immediately turned his face with Xu Yingyuan today, and pointed out that Xu Yingyuan is Wei Zhongxian's comrade, it can be seen that he should be very easy to do, as long as the emperor can make Xu Xianchun believe that he can save his life and keep his property, the old slave guessed that he should be compliant. ”

Emperor Zhu Youzhen sighed, and said a word with a smile, which made Cao Huachun's dream shattered in an instant!
