Although Nanjing has a whole bureaucratic system, these bigwigs only enjoy treatment and do not undertake work. Because of the idle pension, the world calls it "Yinyin".

There are only three people who really have real power: one is the secretary of the Nanjing Counselor's Aircraft Maintenance Department, the other is the Nanjing garrison eunuch, and the other is the commander of the Nanjing Military Affairs.

The secretary of the Nanjing Counselor's Machinery and Military Department is Shi Kefa, who was promoted from the governor of Caoyun, and is quite popular in the south of the Yangtze River, so he can't go lightly.

As the name suggests, the commander of the Nanjing Military Affairs Commander is to be appointed by the Lord. The crown prince is far away in Beijing, and he is not familiar with his relatives in Nanjing, and if he sends some upstarts to serve, he will not be able to convince the public.

Only the Nanjing garrison eunuchs, who were royal private slaves, could be exchanged as they pleased. Moreover, the status of the garrison eunuch is the highest, and when he sits with the ministers and ministers, Shangshu can only sit on the seat, but he can sit on the chairman, and he is the "relative minister of the Son of Heaven three thousand miles away".

Now the Nanjing garrison eunuch is Han Zanzhou, this person is cautious and low-key, if he didn't ask specifically, Zhu Cihong wouldn't even know his name. However, now is not the time for meritorious service, Zhu Cihong has no impression of Han Zanzhou, but he has plans for the position of Nanjing garrison eunuch.

"Is there a candidate for the crown prince?" Emperor Chongzhen asked coldly, also testing what Zhu Cihong wanted to do.

"This office should be done with close ministers, and sons dare not beak." Zhu Cihong replied sharply.

Everyone was also quite surprised, and they suspected that the crown prince was still inexperienced, and I was afraid that he would be a gunman for nothing!

If it is said that the outer court has all kinds of intrigues and complicated relationships, the inner court is actually not far behind. Han Zanzhou must have his own group behind him, and the crown prince doesn't care about pulling him off the horse, but he is not afraid of offending people, but it is a pity that he made a wedding dress for nothing.

"Oh." Emperor Chongzhen dragged out his voice and looked at Wang Zhixin and Wang Chengen, the two personal eunuchs. These two were his old men when he was in the Hidden Mansion. It can be regarded as conscientious and conscientious all the way to Shandong, and no matter who can serve as the eunuch of the Nanjing garrison.

"Wang Zhixin," Emperor Chongzhen finally made up his mind: "You go to Nanjing to prepare for the car, and Han Zanzhou will come back to listen to it." ”

The king's heart was overjoyed, and immediately responded: "The minister obeys the order!" ”

Chongzhen nodded, and said to Jiang Yueguang: "You go back earlier." Tell the ministers of the southern capital: You can go to the line as soon as possible! ”

Jiang Yueguang had no choice but to answer the order.

Song Yingxing, who had been like a clay sculpture behind Jiang Yueguang, finally showed a smile on his face, which just made Zhu Cihong catch it. But he didn't worry about the crown prince seeing it, because he had already decided to stay in the line and "listen to it". Compared to a job in Wupinzhizhou, the technical college is obviously more interesting.

Zhu Cihong was also full of smiles.

The appointment of a new garrison eunuch was a matter of course, but everyone was waiting to see who would propose it. As for who the new garrison eunuch is, Zhu Cihong doesn't care, because at present, only Wang Zhixin and Wang Chengen are the only people who Chongzhen really trusts. No matter who he ordered, Zhu Cihong was very satisfied.

Because whoever is gone. There is another position that is bound to be vacated: the eunuch of the official school of the governor of the Qincha Dongchang official school.

The reason why Zhu Cihong wanted to go out in person and not let the ministers below speak for him. It was only because he proposed to remove the Nanjing garrison eunuch that Emperor Chongzhen would worry about whether his son had made friends with his close attendants, so that Zhu Cihong could restrain the lucky man: If he dared to disobey the will of the crown prince, then the crown prince would definitely say a lot of good things for him in front of the emperor.

Any wise person knows that even if he is not grateful to those who help him, he must not be guilty of those who can destroy him. Do you want to leave the emperor's side and become an uncrowned king in the prosperous territory of Jiangnan? Then obediently hand over the position of the factory minister.

The king's heart is gone. Wang Chengen was naturally promoted to one level and became the eunuch of the master of ceremonies. According to the convention, the eunuch of the Admiral Dongchang should be the second-in-command or third-in-command of the celebrant and the celebrant concurrently. Wang Chengen naturally wanted to nominate a new factory minister, but this person was unknown to Chongzhen.

"Ding O?" Chongzhen was a little surprised.

In front of him stood a middle-aged eunuch with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, with fair skin and very ordinary facial features, as if he would disappear when he blended into the crowd.

"What year did you enter the palace as a duty?" Chongzhen really didn't have any impression of this little transparent.

"Back to the Emperor," Ding Ao's voice was also uncharacteristic. "The slave maid is the hidden mansion of the seventh year of the Apocalypse, and under the name of Cao Gonghuachun, she has been working as an errand in the East Factory."

Emperor Chongzhen looked at Wang Chengen on the side suspiciously.

Wang Chengen stepped forward and said with a smile: "Emperor, Ding Ao is indeed the old man of the Qiandi, he was only fifteen years old at that time. I haven't served the emperor much, I'm afraid the emperor doesn't remember. ”

Chongzhen nodded and said, "How many years have you been in Dongchang?" Can you handle this situation now? ”

"Back to the emperor, the slave maid went to Dongchang in the first year of Chongzhen, and it has been seventeen years now. The slave does not dare to boast, but she will never lose in her loyalty and diligence. Ding Ao replied.

Chongzhen nodded, allowing this personnel appointment.

Zhu Cihong saw Ding Ao half an hour later, and also praised a few words, so that the eunuch who had been working in the East Factory could do a good job. As Ding Ao said, he did enter the palace at the age of thirteen, went to Dongchang at the age of fifteen, and stayed until he left Beijing. The difference is that he has not been to the Hidden Mansion, nor is he under Cao Huachun, but under Liu Ruoyu.

This time, Zhu Cihong used him to completely bring the East Factory into his palm.

When there were only two people in the room, Zhu Cihong and Liu Ruoyu, Zhu Cihong sighed: "I really can't bear it." He said: "The ministers all say that the father is suspicious, but in fact, the father is still a very gullible person in nature. ”

Liu Ruoyu also had to admit this. He said: "The saint is generous, if it is in the hands of the master of the temple or the master of the temple, I am afraid it will not be hidden." ”

Zhu Cihong smiled and said tiredly: "There are still people under me who are credible, and who is really reliable around my father?" By the way, Wang Zhixin said hello over there, right? ”

Liu Ruoyu responded: "It's already pointed, he's not a stupid person, he definitely understands." ”

"That's good." Zhu Cihong nodded: "Shandong has to push the Lexia defense line outward, and all kinds of walled forts are piled up with silver, and the silver in our hands is not falling from the sky." Wang Zhixin can help somewhat, and his ability to make money is also ranked among the best in the world. Also, Dongyu likes to use the spy the most, after Ding Ao took over the East Factory, one must purge Denglai and even Shandong, and the other is to train successors with schools. ”

Liu Ruoyu nodded yes, and then asked: "Your Highness, can you choose some fatherless and motherless teenagers to enter the palace from now on?" ”

Zhu Cihong's eyebrows jumped, and he asked, "If you are foolish, if you don't have a pure body, will you still be so loyal to the Heavenly Family?" ”

Liu Ruoyu was quite puzzled: "Why did Your Highness ask here?" ”

"Yes," Zhu Cihong said, "I think whether or not you can be faithful to the Lord is one in teaching, and the other is whether it is worthy of others to be loyal in this Lord's family." Therefore, when I use people, I only look at talent, not others. At the beginning, there was a shortage of people under my command, so I dispersed the inner servants to each army as a trainer. Now it seems that there are quite capable people among the inner servants. If they are in good health, they don't know how much they can do, it's a pity. ”

What eunuch is not inferior and self-pitying? Liu Ruoyu listened to Zhu Cihong's words, tears couldn't stop flowing, and he gently wiped them with the corners of his sleeves, and said: "Master Chitose is so benevolent, it is really rare in the family today. It's just a servant of the purifying king, it's always more convenient, and His Royal Highness will get married in the future......"

Zhu Cihong smiled disapprerovingly, "Except for the Prince's Mansion who can use eunuchs when they get the edict, who else dares to use it?" Could it be that those wealthy families are not in a good way? Besides, the people have been in war for a long time, and it is the time to employ people, if we castrate a group of teenagers, see how much less population we will have in ten years? What about another twenty years? So let's do it. ”

"The old minister is a poor man in the world, His Royal Highness Xie is benevolent!" Liu Ruoyu said emotionally.

"Starting from me, hire some healthy women from the people to serve as servants in the inner palace, and those who serve outside will not be determined whether they are pure or not." Zhu Cihong said, but thought in his heart: Even eunuchs have lustful desires, and when the time comes, the right food and vegetable households will flood the palace, which will make people's hearts more congested than the fornication of subordinates.

Liu Ruoyu didn't know what Zhu Cihong was thinking, and soon went out to do his own business. He is now also responsible for the security and defense of the Artillery Research Department, the small village where the iron mold cannon was born, and he does not dare not do his best.

Zhu Cihong soon put his mind on the layout of Shandong Province, thinking about how to directly and effectively control coal and iron mines and increase artillery equipment. (To be continued......)
