Meng Chong knew that his position was not easy to come by, so he was even more reluctant to give up. Not only does he want to continue his current position, but he also wants to grow stronger. Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi is gone, and it may be a good opportunity for him. A great opportunity to get him to the top.

Meng Chong was by the side of Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houyu almost every day, not only knowing Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi's habits, but also knowing Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi's temper and characteristics. Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi may be worse than Emperor Taizu Hong Wuye and Grandpa Cheng, but he is definitely more ruthless than the other emperors. He is not only ruthless, but also quite decisive, which even Lu Fang admires. In private, Lu Fang said more than once that if the current master was born in troubled times, his killing and decisiveness would definitely create a new situation. With the temper of Emperor Zhu Houxi of Jiajing, once he doubts or distrusts a person, especially the people around him, he will deal with the other party as soon as possible. Although Yan Song died of his son, although he himself is old, he still has a lot of power in the court. For the sake of Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi himself, and for the sake of his successor King Yu, Yan Song must not be given a chance to resurrect. Now I can't deal with Yan Song right away, because there is not enough evidence. All the incriminating evidence that Yan Song personally handled had been secretly destroyed by Lu Fang. This is one of the reasons why Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi must deal with Lu Fang. He will never allow the people around him to hide from himself to do such a sorry thing for himself.

If there is no evidence of Yan Song's crime, he cannot immediately convict a chief assistant who has been in power for more than 20 years. But Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi had his own way, while letting Yan Song stay in office to recuperate, he was preparing to deal with Lu Fang. Once Lu Fang stepped down, Yan Song would not only have no chance to turn over, but would also expose more problems. Using the downfall of Lu Fang, finding out the evidence of Yan Song's crimes, convicting Yan Song, and making Yan Song's party never turn over, this is the ultimate goal of Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi's operation. As for Lu Fang, for the sake of many years of love, Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi decided not to kill Lu Fang and let him go to the south to retire.

Meng Chong was the only one who knew the whole idea of Emperor Zhu Houxi of Jiajing. Lu Fang and Yan Song may have guessed it, but in order not to implicate more people, they decided to do nothing and wait in place to listen to the fate of Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi. Chen Hong may have guessed part of it, but he may not know what Lu Fang's final result will be. But there is one thing Chen Hong knows that he is about to ascend to the throne of the eunuch who holds the seal of the celebrant and the eunuch. In this way, Chen Hong will become the first eunuch in the inner palace, which has been Chen Hong's dream for many years.

In view of the fact that Lu Fang was leaving, Chen Hong was going to take over as the eunuch of the celebrant and the seal of the seal. There will be a period of unrest in the inner palace, and everyone will be panicked. Meng Chong decided, he would never participate in it, and sat on the mountain to watch the tiger fight. He knew that as soon as Chen Hong came to power, he would get angry, kill everyone to make an example, and exclude dissidents. Huang Jin is Lu Fang's most loyal godson, neither Chen Hong nor Meng Chong likes Huang Jin to stay in this position. Once Chen Hong becomes the head of the inner house, one person to deal with is Huang Jin. Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi will also acquiesce to Chen Hong's action against Huang Jin because of Lu Fang. In this way, the possibility of Huang Jin's resignation is quite high, and whether he may be able to save his life is also a question. After all, the relationship between Huang Jin and Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi is much inferior to that between Lu Fang and Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi. Once Huang Jin stepped down, Chen Hong would pull his own people on the horse and control the celebrant and Jinyi Wei as soon as possible. As long as Meng Chong can't get ahead, Chen Hong's next target will be Ma Cheng, because the military power in Ma Cheng's hands is what Chen Hong fears and envies the most. Ma Cheng will not and will not allow his rights to be divided by Chen Hong, after all, Ma Cheng is Chen Hong's godbrother, and even Chen Hong's personality. Meng Chong just needs to hide to the side and watch the two of them, no, it should be said that the two groups of people attack each other.

Why didn't Meng Chong make a move? Because he knew the body of Emperor Zhu Houxi of Jiajing, when an emperor was no longer good, he was most unhappy that his subordinates seized power. Once the two groups fought, Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi would definitely find a way to deal with them. At that time, Meng Chong, who was silent on the side, would be valued and used by Emperor Zhu Houxi of Jiajing, and he would be given a certain amount of checks and balances at that time. Besides, even if they win, what's the use? As soon as the new emperor ascends the throne, all the high-ranking officials of the inner palace will be purged. Chen Hong will definitely not be the head of the inner department anymore, can Ma Cheng be the general manager of the inner house?

The reason why Chen Hong could not continue to be the head of the inner house was because Chen Hong stood on the opposite side of His Royal Highness King Yu. Therefore, after His Royal Highness King Yu ascended the throne, he would never hand over the power of the inner palace to a former enemy. Compared with Chen Hong, Ma Cheng has no chance to serve as the eunuch of the master of ceremonies. Because Ma Cheng used to be the steward eunuch in Emperor Fang**, His Royal Highness King Yu was the prince adopted by Queen Fang. His Royal Highness King Yu's biological mother died early, and Queen Fang had nothing to do, so she adopted His Royal Highness King Yu as a child born to the queen. This is a win-win approach, His Royal Highness King Yu has the opportunity to inherit the throne because of this adoptive mother, and Empress Fang may become the future queen mother because of this. Unexpectedly, Ma Cheng reported to Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi, and Empress Fang secretly asked someone to tell her fortune to calculate when Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houyu would die. This was a considerable political event, and the Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi was furious and deposed Empress Fang. His Royal Highness King Yu was also almost implicated and almost lost the right to inherit the throne. His Royal Highness King Yu will not forget this Ma Cheng, who became the chief eunuch of the Imperial Horse Prison because he betrayed his master. Therefore, Ma Cheng not only has no chance to be the head of the inner house, but he may not even be able to save his life.

In this way, the Inner Palace Master of Ceremonies will only be left with Meng Chong, a big eunuch. As long as Meng Chong doesn't come out, as long as Meng Chong doesn't make trouble, An An will do his own thing. Even if the new emperor ascends the throne in the future, he will not do anything to Meng Chong. His Royal Highness King Yu must have a caring eunuch by his side, but are they qualified and capable of fighting Meng Chong? According to the rules, whether it is the former dynasty or the inner palace, you can't just be the leader. The highest body of the previous dynasty was called the cabinet, and any minister close to the emperor had to follow the step-by-step order, and the advanced cabinet was Zhang Jing, that is, the assistant to the cabinet minister, and after being familiar with the affairs of the cabinet, he became a cabinet minister. There are four cabinet elders, namely the first assistant, the second assistant, the second assistant, the second assistant, and the young assistant. Shousuke is the highest executive officer, with full authority to deal with military affairs. The secondary assistant helps or shares the heavy responsibility of the first assistant. Generally speaking, the first assistant holds the ministry, that is, personnel and organizational power; Ministry of Rites, the right to train reserve cadres; Ministry of Households, National Financial Authority. The second assistant is in charge of the military department, and the training and placement of soldiers; Ministry of Engineering, Project Supervision and Construction Authority. Taifu is the emperor's teacher or the biggest staff member, and is in charge of both the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Imperial Court, which is equivalent to the current secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection. Shaofu is the prince's teacher, or the prince's teacher. He also has the authority to be in charge of the Criminal Department, which is equivalent to the secretary of the political and legal committee of the current society. These four positions can be called pavilion elders, and they can also be said to be candidates for "worshipping the prime minister". If an official wants to be the first assistant, he must first be Zhang Jing, then a cabinet member, and then a junior assistant, a senior assistant, and a second assistant.

This is also the rule in the inner palace, if the eunuch wants to be the chief of the inner house, that is, the eunuch who holds the seal of the celebrant supervisor, he must first be the eunuch in charge. To be a steward eunuch is to be a chief eunuch, and to be a chief eunuch is to be a deacon eunuch. To become a deacon eunuch, you have to go through a strict identity check. After becoming the chief eunuch, you can have the opportunity to serve as a steward eunuch. If you become a steward and eunuch, you will not necessarily be promoted. There are rules in the inner palace of the Ming Dynasty, and all eunuchs who have not attended internal school and made mistakes during their time as eunuchs are not allowed to enter the ceremonial eunuchs. The celebrant is in the inner palace, which is equivalent to the cabinet of the previous dynasty. The little eunuch of the celebrant is also more popular than the chief eunuch outside, which shows how great the power of the celebrant is. entered the celebrant eunuch, the deacon eunuch, the eunuch on duty, the steward eunuch, the chief eunuch, then the eunuch of Bingbi, and finally the eunuch of the highest peak. None of these steps can be left behind, this is the rules and the system.

There are only two eunuchs around His Royal Highness King Yu who have ever entered the celebrant eunuch, and they are only eunuchs on duty, not even the eunuchs in charge. If His Royal Highness King Yu becomes the emperor, these people will not be able to enter the ceremonial eunuch at most, and the most qualified one will be the eunuch Bingbi. Since they are not qualified, the position of the eunuch in charge of the seal of the celebrant is the oldest eunuch with the highest qualifications. The capital accumulated by Lu Fang, Chen Hong, and Ma Cheng is Meng Chong's alone. As long as Meng Chong maintains a good relationship with the new emperor and does not offend the new emperor, it is not a problem to be the governor of the inner house for more than ten or twenty years. At that time, Meng Chong had had enough, and he had enough of the addiction to power, and he didn't care who succeeded him. At that time, Meng Chong went to the emperor to say goodbye to his old man and return to his hometown, and took his godson Meng Xiaoshi back to the south to enjoy happiness.

Thinking of his godson Meng Xiaoshi, Meng Chong rarely showed a knowing smile. Meng Chong is a caster who can't have children, so he can't have offspring, and people like him have a lot of godsons. But everyone knows that Meng Chong and Meng's father-in-law are very good to Meng Xiaoshi, his godson. The good made everyone have an indescribable jealousy of Meng Xiaoshi.

Meng Chong also felt that he and Meng Xiaoshi had a fate, an indescribable fate. Meng Xiaoshi is the nephew of the little beggar that Meng Chong killed back then, and it stands to reason that Meng Chong killed Meng Xiaoshi's uncle and replaced the identity of the little beggar, so Meng Xiaoshi should also be killed. But because of this, Meng Chong couldn't do anything, and he decided to return everything he owed to the little beggar to Meng Xiaoshi. He not only recognized Meng Xiaoshi as his own nephew, but also adopted him as his godson and left Meng Xiaoshi by his side to take care of him. In just a few years, Meng Xiaoshi was already a chief eunuch.
