This is a fast-paced emperor, and by the way, this lifeless court is also somewhat efficient!

After the emperor hugged Sun Chengzong, he didn't say anything more, and strode away! The ministers looked at the young emperor, taking vigorous steps, leaving everyone with an awe-inspiring back, and they all felt as if there was an unfathomable sword hanging above their heads!

The official meals of the Ming Dynasty are getting worse and worse! Whether it is a capable minister, a mediocre minister, a cadre, a cool official, a clean official, or a corrupt official, everyone is thinking about one thing, is there anything that their butts have not been wiped clean?

Sun Chengzong returned to his mansion in Beijing and asked people to find Yuan Chonghuan, who was staying in a small inn, still waiting to be reactivated and re-in charge of the soldiers and horses! People who are not good at money are often good women, or good fame! Men have to be a little good, otherwise it's wasted!

Yuan Chonghuan's good is fame, even if he can't talk about fame and reputation, he likes to be grandiose! When Yuan Chonghuan came to the master's mansion in a panic, he found that Sun Chengzong was preparing to set off.

Yuan Chonghuan bowed his hand, "Teacher, I heard that the imperial court let the teacher serve as the secretary of the military department, congratulations to the teacher, you are going to go on the expedition?" ”

Although Sun Chengzong had no communication with the emperor, he was like a pair of friends who had forgotten his years, like his beloved little grandson, and like his own master, and his feelings for Emperor Chongzhen were a little complicated.

At this time, he looked at Yuan Chonghuan, who he had admired a little, and suddenly felt a little annoyed, this person is good at everything, but he is a little taken for granted, he loves to grandstand, he is cautious, but his mouth can run a horse! However, Yuan Chonghuan's advantages still outweigh the disadvantages, which is why Sun Chengzong did not regret that he recommended Yuan Chonghuan to the emperor. After all, the detour to Inner Mongolia greatly lengthened the marching route of Jiannu! At the same time, it will greatly lengthen the supply line of the Jiannu army, so the trilateral land, no, cannot become the logistics base of the Jiannu Southern Expedition!

"Yuan Chonghuan, the old man only sends you a word, don't always be arrogant, always think how powerful you are, the emperor is a saint! You should be in awe of the Holy Monarch, otherwise it will end badly! After speaking, he straddled his horse and took a few guards to the outside of Beijing.

Yuan Chonghuan stood there headless and brainless, and said secretly, neurotic? Come to me, just tell me this? When did I stop fearing the emperor? Without an emperor, where do I get military power? When the emperor is looking for me, he naturally wants to use me, and he looks at the Ming Dynasty! Who is more suitable to be the governor of Liaodong than me, Yuan Chonghuan? Those who can convince the public are not enough, and those who are able to do it are not enough, and the qualifications and prestige are not enough! Not to mention a seventeen-year-old emperor, that is, his brother Emperor Tianqi, who was only 22 years old when he died, did carpentry every day, and became a eunuch in the world, and Emperor Wanli, who has not been in court for more than 30 years, is even more rare! A bunch of yellow-haired cubs, if it weren't for me and other frontier officials, this would be over tomorrow morning!

In this world, Yuan Chonghuan, who is in his forties, is polite to everyone on the surface, but among the people in the world, he is the only one who obeys Sun Chengzong, and the others are not in his eyes!

"Master, hurry up and enter the palace to face the saint, right?" The old slave reminded Yuan Chonghuan.

Yuan Chonghuan shook the ash on the side of his robe, "Don't worry, let's go, go back to the inn to watch the play first, listen to the song, we don't worry, the emperor is worried." ”

Emperor Chongzhen is indeed worried, although he is in high spirits in the imperial court, in fact, what is the situation in the imperial court, he knows better than anyone else, and when he shouts slogans, the ministers are more like a bunch of dramas, hundreds of ministers, maybe a few people, are really anxious, and really think about him! is still the same sentence, although he Zhu Youzhen is the emperor, but the whole country, the entire court, his influence is only one-fortieth!

Thinking about today's killing of the speech officials, Zhu Youzhen knew that this matter was just the beginning, and the speech officials would not stop there! The next move is likely to be a silent confrontation! If the officials are gone, it will be very troublesome! Originally, this imperial court had been corrupted to the extreme, and now if even the only supervision mechanism collapsed, then he really didn't dare to imagine where the situation would develop!

"Long live the lord, Cao Huachun and Xu Xianchun, waiting to see you." Wang Chengen said softly.

Zhu Youzhen's thoughts were interrupted, and he came back to his senses, "Well, let that Xu Yingyuan come together, I will talk with these three people, and it will be a lot of trouble!" ”

"Yes!" Wang Chengen's fat body, lightly out of the study, although, I feel that the emperor has changed a lot in the past two days, but he is still very happy, from the past to sweat for the emperor all the time, to now as long as you are a person who helps the emperor do things, you don't need to think too much, it's not bad. In the past, no matter what the emperor did, he needed to be reminded, but now, the emperor reminded him in turn.

Xu Yingyuan, Cao Huachun and Xu Xianchun knelt in front of the emperor, and Zhu Youzhen just glanced at the three of them, and then continued to correct the folds.

All three wondered, the emperor wanted to entertain himself? When I called them, I didn't speak, I didn't know what I was going to do, and my heart was full of anxiety! But who dares to make a sound?

Zhu Youzhen folded the music together, leaned back, and looked at the three of them as if he was not looking, "Xu Yingyuan, how are the manpower placements in the palace now?" ”

Xu Yingyuan knew what the emperor meant, and he guessed that the emperor wanted to know if there were any Wei Zhongxian and Kebaba people, "If you go back to the emperor, the chief eunuch and the head of the palace maids in the palace have been replaced by the old men of the palace, please rest assured." ”

Zhu Youzhen smiled slightly, "You do things, I don't worry!" Let you be a chief eunuch in Ouchi, it's a bit overkill! ”

The emperor's words made Xu Yingyuan ecstatic! Cao Huachun and Xu Xianchun are trembling, he is overkill, is that to replace the two of us?

"The slave has been following the Long Live Lord for more than ten years, no matter what he does, he is willing to go to the soup for the Long Live Lord!" Xu Yingyuan slammed his head twice.

Zhu Youzhen interrupted, "You will hand over the position of the head of the Great Interior to Wang Chengen, and I have a more important task assigned to you!" The impeachment of eunuchs for interfering in politics is overwhelming! Tell me about the three of you, what should you do? ”

Xu Yingyuan was still ecstatic just now, and now he is in the same mood as Cao Huachun and Xu Xianchun! The three of them froze there, not knowing what to say! Is the emperor going to do it to himself?

Emperor Chongzhen smiled, "You don't have to be nervous, you don't have to joke, I said that I want to reuse you, and I will reuse you!" I think so, the East Factory and Jinyiwei are managed separately, it is too inconvenient, and it is not conducive to my control over you, I want to merge the East Factory and Jinyiwei together! Set up a new organization and change the name to reduce the hostility of the courtiers towards you! The head of this new organization will be elected among the three of you! Cao Huachun, you also hand over the position of eunuch Bingbi to Wang Chengen, during this time, the three of you will work together to do this well, of course, you must be sincere and united! Don't fight in the nest, you're all people I want to reuse! I'm very satisfied with the abilities of all three of you! As for the new institution of the Ming Dynasty, I think so, let's call it the Statistics Department! The three of you will give me an answer within a month on the division of the provinces and the selection of deacons. ”

The three of them were shocked when they heard this! To be able to be in such a high position, no one is a fool, the emperor's words are easy to understand! The intention is also very obvious! It is impossible for the emperor not to use eunuchs and brocade guards, and they believe this, because the most powerful weapon with which the emperor can directly control the officials and the people is them! The officials are like oxen, the people are like fields, and if the emperor wants to use oxen to cultivate the fields, he must use the reins to control the oxen! This Dongchang and Jinyiwei are like the emperor's reins! Therefore, if the three of them believe that the emperor will dismiss Dongchang and Jinyiwei, they don't believe it.

All three of them believe that it is very likely that the emperor will let them kill each other, and reshuffle Dongchang and Jinyiwei! But the boss of the merged institution! That's so powerful! But no one can restrain it anymore! The East Factory and Jinyiwei themselves are the East Factory in charge of Jinyiwei, and Jinyiwei can also restrain the relationship between the East Factory at the same time, if it is a merger! The position of this big leader is really tempting! Who doesn't care?

The three of them wanted to say something, but none of them dared to say anything, and they knelt on the ground in a daze, and their heads were so low that they were about to hit the ground.

Zhu Youzhen snorted, as if he was talking to himself, "What? Do you three have an opinion? I am good at talking, what ideas do you have, now put them together, the reason why I summoned you at the same time is to give you a chance to play fair! Fairness, openness, and impartiality are my principles! ”

The three of them knelt on the ground and looked at each other unconsciously, but no one dared to say anything, and everyone became more and more unable to feel the emperor's pulse! Everyone obeys Grandpa Wei! Now you put Grandpa Wei under house arrest and let the three of us fight like this! What the hell are you going to do? The three of them both yearn for this monstrous power, but also worry and fear!

Zhu Youzhen continued, "We must be cautious in the selection of deacons in various provinces, this is related to the ancestors' Jiangshan Sheji!" You supervise each other, and you must supervise each other fairly about the past words and deeds of the eunuchs and the brocade guards, as well as their merits and deeds! Absolutely nothing is allowed to be made out of nothing! It is necessary to seek truth from facts, and to make sure that every old East Factory and the old department of the old Jinyi Wei can get a fair opportunity! By the way, I would like to remind you that my merger this time is not to weaken you, so you must not kill each other! Whoever kills his own people and is found out by me, he will be punished heavily! Okay, since everyone has no opinions, let's go down on errands. ”

Xu Yingyuan, Cao Huachun and Xu Xianchun, the three of them thanked the emperor in a daze, and went out of the study in a daze, only to feel that their backs were soaked! On a cold day, they all shivered!

"The emperor dismissed us from our posts in just a few words! Is this meant to be done to us? "Xu Yingyuan is the oldest among the three! First of all, I spoke out about my doubts!

Cao Huachun frowned, "It's a little similar, it's a little different!" If the emperor wants to do it, it will be useless to keep Grandpa Wei and Kebaba? Besides, he only handed over the matter of this merger and reorganization to the three of us, and did not let Wang Chengen participate in the merger? Moreover, if you want to say that you want to eradicate us, it's not like it, haven't you listened to the emperor? In the process of merging, cannibalism is not allowed, otherwise, it will be punished heavily! However, my old Cao is not qualified to compete with the two adults! Our family has shallow qualifications and insufficient ability. ”

Xu Xianchun waved his hand, "Hey, then I'm not qualified to compete with the two, one qiē depends on the cultivation of the two adults!" Hasn't Jinyiwei always been held in the palm of Dongchang's hands? Whoever is in power, it's not all Cao's father-in-law, who was originally in charge of the East Factory, is more advantageous, it is estimated that the emperor is afraid that it is not fair enough, and he doesn't want to let any of the three of us dominate! When the time comes, it is likely that there will be one chief leader and two deputy leaders. ”

Xu Yingyuan snorted, and said in his heart that it was really like it! didn't say anything, and began to think about how to eradicate the power of the two people in his heart!

Xu Xianchun and Cao Huachun looked at Xu Yingyuan's demeanor, and they were also alert, Xu Xianchun smiled predictively, "I look at that, the leader of this statistics department is none other than Gonggong Xu!" ”

Xu Yingyuan smiled bitterly, "I'm thinking, the emperor killed a few Yanguan today, our Dongchang and Jinyiwei have always been on the same page as Yanguan!" However, if the emperor really abolished the official discussion of politics, it would not be a good thing for us! ”

Xu Xianchun was stunned, "No one is talking about Rory anymore, isn't this a good thing?" ”

Cao Huachun also seemed to understand something, and let out a long sigh, "Yes, this emperor is not an ordinary emperor!" He had so many thoughts that no one knew what was going on in his head! ”

The three of them summed up for a while, and they all believed that the emperor might be trying to strengthen the monarch's control over Dongchang and Jinyiwei! Reshuffle the East Factory and Jinyiwei! However, the three of them had a murderous intention in their hearts at the same time! No matter what the emperor's intentions are, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to weaken the opponent! Whoever obtains the position of the leader of this statistics office is a hundred times more awesome than the original Wei Zhongxian!

Moreover, this merger, maybe in the end, even the emperor can't control it! Dongchang and Jinyiwei were not established in a day or two! More than 260 years old! Now that the emperor has put two separate units back together, no one can imagine what will happen!
