After listening to what Sun Qingyang said, Mrs. Dong, who happened to enter the palace to comfort her, disagreed, "Liang Gui was sent back to deliver a letter by Yuan Bin, the captain of the emperor's side, because he had previously sent an envoy to Mongolia. A Mongolian soldier came over to take off the emperor's clothes and armor, and when the soldier was angry and wanted to cause harm, the emperor did not give in. It can be seen that many things, only listening to one-sided words, may not be the truth. โ€

When Sun Qingyang heard his mother say this, he looked at Mrs. Dong strangely, "Where did my mother get this news?" โ€

Mrs. Dong pondered for a moment, and said: "The Queen Mother forgot, your father and brother are all in the court, although it is a fictitious position that only leads Yulu, but because of your identity, there are many people who are in trouble, so there are sources, and Du Ziheng has been in the shadow guard all these years, except for important military affairs, in order to avoid our anxiety, you will not let him hide it from us, so what is the matter, your eldest brother, as the commander of the Jinyi Guard, will naturally know it quickly." โ€

Xuanwu, who had been standing silent, suddenly said: "The Queen Mother doesn't have to worry about the emperor's safety, as long as Yuan Bin is fine, she will be able to protect the emperor." and the Mongolian translator Ha Ming next to the emperor, all of whom are from the shadow guard. โ€

Sun Qingyang looked at Xuanwu.

Xuanwu lowered his eyes, "The emperor disregarded the dissuasion of pro-conquest, so the minister sent Ziheng to accompany a team of shadow guards to escort him, and his public identity is the captain Yuan Bin......"

After listening to what Xuanwu said, Sun Qingyang understood that it turned out that the people of the secret guard, in order to act conveniently, often have a public identity that can reveal the front of the person, Du Ziheng's identity in the imperial court is Yuan Bin, the son of Yuan Zhong, the emperor's close attendant, after Yuan Zhong resigned from his home in the fourth year of orthodoxy, he took the post of school guard.

After listening to what Xuanwu said, Sun Qingyang's heart was a little relieved, "Lord Xuanwu, I have also written a handwritten letter to the imperial court through Huailai Guards, and the handwritten letter mentions the emperor's detention and asks for gold, silver and jade silk. The mourning family consulted with the ministers, sent envoys, and carried valuable treasures and embroidered silk brocade with eight horses, and the queen Qian also searched for the treasures in the palace and brought them, and went to pay homage to Ye Xian, please let the emperor's car drive south, but he did not get a reply first, he wanted to blackmail the emperor and repeatedly blackmail the court, what do you think? โ€

Xuanwu Zi carefully said: "The minister got the news that the eunuch Xining next to the emperor was greedy for life and afraid of death, and had surrendered to Xiang Ye first, but Yuan Bin and Ha Ming still tried their best to serve the emperor. The minister thought that the change of civil engineering protection was certainly Wang Zhen's fault, but if it was all caused by him alone, it may not be. The emperor is kind-hearted, treats Wang Zhen as a father and brother, obeys his words, and is forgivable, but Wang Zhenyuan is the companion selected by the emperor for the emperor, according to the emperor's writing, do you think he will put a pure traitorous villain by the emperor's side? โ€

Sun Qingyang kept in mind the ancestral precept that concubines were not allowed to participate in political affairs, and when the emperor was young a few years ago, the empress dowager controlled military affairs, so he did not understand the political affairs of the DPRK and China.

Mrs. Dong may have participated in talking about state affairs with her husband and son at home, and after listening to what Xuanwu said, she nodded approvingly, "Not only the first emperor, but also the empress dowager, when she was alive, although she repeatedly beat Wang Zhen, but in the end she did not let him sit idle, so that Wang Zhen became the chief eunuch of the ceremonial eunuch, and was able to take advantage of the emperor's favor to exercise the power of approving the chapter and conveying the edict. It can be seen that Wang Zhen is not a high-flying and domineering person with no brains, why did he change his normal state and repeatedly make stupid moves during the trip to Tumubao? โ€

Listening to what they said, Sun Qingyang remembered several old things about Wang Zhen.

When the emperor was young, he couldn't help but be greedy for fun, Wang Zhen always strictly controlled the people who served him, to prevent them from misleading the young master, once Wang Zhen was ready to serve the emperor, he heard someone blow the flute, the person who played the flute saw him coming, and ran away, Wang Zhen chased after him, and scolded him fiercely: "The emperor, you should enter the right words, talk about the right things, in order to raise holy virtues." And to be deceived by this lewd voice? "Give the person who blows the a punishment of twenty boards.

Wang Zhen also knelt down to persuade the emperor to quit the habit of fun, saying, "The first emperor misunderstood the world for a blanket, and His Majesty reinstated it. "Teach the emperor not to casually grant official positions to the people around him, but to cherish the country's famous weapons. Teach the emperor, as the king of a country, to be prepared for danger in times of peace, to put the world first, not to be greedy for fun and lead to waste government and mislead the country, and to be strict in rewards and punishments.

It can be said that Wang Zhen is quite conscientious about the growth of the emperor, otherwise, he would not have won the emperor's dependence.

When the Empress Dowager was still alive, every time Wang Zhen was ordered to go to Wenyuan Pavilion to consult on political affairs, Sanyang spoke to him, and as the chief eunuch of the ceremonial eunuch, he always stood respectfully to accept it. He also once asked Sanyang if there were any talented people in his hometown who could come to Beijing to serve, Sanyang recommended the erudite Xue Xuan, and Wang Zhen called him "Dali Shaoqing".

He also gave a lot of consideration to the issue of Sanyang's successor after a hundred years, and solicited their opinions, and "gladly used" Chen Xun, Gao Gu, Miao Zhen and others recommended by them. In addition, Wang Zhen also has a lot of respect for talented officials, and Wei Ji, the secretary of the ministry, has a significant reputation, Wang Zhen respectfully calls him "sir", and when the two meet, Wei Ji only sends Wang Zhen "Pa Yifang", and he doesn't care. At that time, Zhou Chen, who served as the governor of the Jiangnan region, was diligent and loved the people, and Wang Zhen also greatly appreciated him.

During the Xuande period, the imperial court often sent eunuchs out to seek playthings such as flowers, trees, birds, and beasts to harass the people. Since Wang Zhen took charge of the inner court, it was forbidden to go out, and for 14 years, the army and civilians were able to rest......

Wang Zhen's ability to deal with things is also commendable, orthodox four years, an official in Fujian killed a post Cheng, Yi Cheng is the cabinet minister Yang Pu's neighbor, the official is the cabinet minister Yang Shiqi's hometown. Yang Pu advocated that officials should be put to death as compensation. Yang Shiqi wanted to sentence the official to a slight punishment for killing people in the line of duty. The two had a dispute, so they asked the ruling Empress Dowager to adjudicate. Wang Zhen, who was present at the time, thought that Er Yang had given an unreasonable punishment because of his neighbors, that the compensation was too heavy, and that the treatment was too light because of official business, and that he should be given a demotion punishment, and the Empress Dowager felt that it was very reasonable, so she followed his advice.

Wang Zhen once said to the emperor that Geng Jiuchou, who was the Tongzhi of the Lianghuai Salt Envoy at that time, "this person is incorruptible and informed by the public", and suggested that the vacant Lianghuai Salt Envoy should be filled, and recommended Shi Pu, the upright and talented Shanxi political envoy of Zuobu, to serve as the secretary of the Ministry of Industry. He did not tolerate officials who did not perform their duties, and suggested that the emperor give severe punishment as an example. In the sixth year of orthodoxy, Liu Zhongfu, Wu Xi, Chen Yu, and other household officials in charge of the state's money and grain were derelict in their duties for handling the tributary affairs of the Mongolian envoys, and were reported by him, and finally dealt with them seriously.

โ€ฆโ€ฆ It was precisely because Wang Zhen was able to put aside his private thoughts and enforce the law impartially when dealing with things, that he was later accepted by the Empress Dowager, so that he could gradually participate in political affairs.

However, thinking of what Liang Gui said before, Sun Qingyang almost didn't hate Wang Zhen to death, and in a blink of an eye, he left Wang Zhen behind these old things, thinking of what his mother and Xuanwu said, he seemed to be biased towards Wang Zhen, and his face couldn't help but change, "Those are just Wang Zhen's cunning, accustomed to observing words and feelings, understanding people's will, and accustomed to hiding traitors, so the first emperor and the empress dowager did not identify it, such a thing happened, do you think that Wang Zhen's thief should not die?" โ€

She heard that on August 24, Zhu Qiyu, the king of servants, came to the noon gate, and the counselors and ministers read out their reports and criticisms of Wang Zhen in turn, and asked them to calm the hearts of the people after destroying his clan.

"Damn." Mrs. Dong and Xuanwu replied in unison, and then glanced at each other, Mrs. Dong said, "Let's talk about Lord Xuanwu, you know more about various situations than I do." โ€

Xuanwu is still very cautious, "Regardless of Wang Zhen's previous merits and demerits, the defeat of Tumubao does have a lot to do with him, and the ministers, like the old lady, think that Wang Zhen has brought disaster to the country and the people, and he deserves to die." But to say that the change in Tumubao is his own fault, it is inevitably too exalted to him, no matter how credulous the emperor is, he will not be like a faint king. According to the results of the analysis of the information obtained, Wang Zhen had the defeat of civil engineering, but he should not be fully responsible. The emperor's capture this time was the result of the tripartite struggle for power, interests, and wrestling between civil officials, military officials, and the king. โ€

This news was too different from what he knew before, and Sun Qingyang didn't react for a while, "What did you say?" โ€

Xuanwu still said slowly: "Wang Zhen's jealousy is not entirely because he is involved in power, but because he suggested to the emperor to develop the military and govern the country with force. In this way, of course, the interests of the civilian clique will be harmed. In March of the seventh year of Xuande, the emperor had issued an edict to implement the policy of mercy, so that it was beneficial to the people, and the household department did not implement it, and even made a 'repeal edict, so that Ze could not be investigated. Before, there were not a few things like this, and the matter of the eunuchs of Sanbao going to the West was also suspended because of the strong admonition of the civil officials. Therefore, the emperor will carry out cultural education for the inner servants in the palace, intending to avoid endangering the monarchy after the civil official group sits on the throne after recovering the power of the clan. โ€

Sun Qingyang vaguely heard Zhu Zhanji say about this, saying that there is no queen in the house, relatively speaking, the thirst for power and money is relatively less, and there will be less corruption.

Later, because Zhu Zhanji felt that cultivating literate chamberlains was too slow, he directly accepted those who were engaged in local education work and were willing to enter the palace as chamberlains, thinking that these people could not enter the bureaucratic system through the imperial examination, indicating that they had a certain talent, but they had no background and were unwilling to join the gang and join the crowd, so it was easier to achieve the goal of accepting such people into the palace to work closely for the emperor.

And Wang Zhen entered the palace under that circumstances. He was originally a scholar, but he failed to pass many attempts, because he was familiar with the scriptures and history, he sought the mission of the instructor of the school, and then because he was hopeless in the promotion and the entrance examination, he was castrated into the palace.
