Chapter 15: The Horror of the Corpse Fifteen

Qin Tai and Feng Bao made such a fuss, which made Jinyiwei very passive, and attracted Emperor Longqing's dissatisfaction with Meng Chong.

In this matter, even Gao Gong, who was more daring and daring, did not dare to treat Qin Tai like this, only Meng Chong, who was calculating, would do it.

The forces of the government and the opposition do not need to think too much, they can guess the answer with their feet. Although Meng Chong did this to deal with Qin Tai with the reason of being angry with Emperor Longqing, in fact, Emperor Longqing and others knew very well what Meng Chong's real purpose was.

Meng Chong's eyes were red, Zhang Juzheng and Feng Bao were rising step by step, and they had no ability to deal with the two of them, so they had to deal with Qin Tai, who had a good relationship with the two of them.

I was worried that this matter would cause trouble, so I secretly instructed Jinyiwei's people to deal with Qin Tai. Using such disgraceful means to deal with Qin Tai not only made Qin Tai and others look down on Meng Chong, but even the master of Emperor Longqing felt that Meng Chong was really poor in donkey skills.

Emperor Longqing had to consider a problem, rather than letting this Meng Chong continue to ruin his reputation under his own banner, it was better to find someone to replace Meng Chong.

Meng Chong is not a completely brainless person, otherwise he would not be able to become a eunuch in such a harsh environment.

Meng Chong not only arranged eyeliner around his opponent, but even Emperor Longqing had people around Meng Chong who always paid attention to Emperor Longqing's every move.

Meng Chong, as the eunuch in charge of the seal, could not follow Emperor Longqing all the time, and most of the time he had to be in the eunuch or cabinet, representing Emperor Longqing and the ministers.

But as a celebrant eunuch, you can't be ignorant of your master's whereabouts, so Meng Chong, or all the eunuchs who have been in the past, will leave their cronies by the emperor's side.

First, you can know the emperor's every move, second, you can know the emperor's latest movements, and third, you can prevent someone from suing you behind your back, and you can do wrong things because you don't know the inside story.

However, Emperor Longqing was a special case, and his temper and character determined his fickleness towards those around him.

Emperor Longqing lost his mother's love and father's love since he was a child, so he longed for family affection very much; As an unfavored prince, he lived like a prisoner for many years, so Emperor Longqing was very eager for freedom; The marriage of the royal family is not only not free, but also cannot be decided by themselves, and they do not know the true situation of the bride before the wedding, and there is no emotional basis.

After marriage, due to royal etiquette and rules, in fact, two people do not live together, so almost all royal family couples are not happy in life.

In addition, the biggest task of Emperor Longqing as a prince is to do

"Breeding pigs" spread out for the royal family, so it was decided that Emperor Longqing had many women. A man who has never received true love and has countless women around him especially longs for a woman who can love him with all his heart.

Even if you know it's impossible, you hope for a miracle; As a prince, he has hardly left the eunuch since he was a child.

Leaving the service of the eunuchs, Emperor Longqing hardly knew how to live. But it's just such a person, who has almost been bullied by eunuchs since he was a child.

The eunuchs around him deceived his superiors and subordinates, withheld his money and food, and even starved him. The chief eunuchs of the celebrant even provoked the relationship between him and his father, and almost caused him to be killed by his own father.

Therefore, Emperor Longqing hated eunuchs very much from the bottom of his heart, and hoped that all the eunuchs in the world would better die and die cleanly; Emperor Longqing was very kind to the crown prince and other biological children, and it can almost be said that it hurts his heart.

But such a father began to have a feeling that his biological son, the crown prince, was incomprehensible to outsiders because of the shadow of his youth and the special relationship with the royal family.

As the biological mother of the crown prince, that is, Li Guifei, the imperial concubine of Emperor Longqing, she is very aware of the inner contradictions of her emperor husband.

On the one hand, Emperor Longqing is the son who wants to love him as a father, and on the other hand, as an emperor, he has the idea of wanting to strangle the prince who is very likely to replace his position as he grows up.

Fortunately, Emperor Longqing did not completely lose his mind and did not make obvious adverse moves against the crown prince, which made Li Guifei not take the next step.

As the wife of Emperor Longqing, she is the biological mother of the crown prince, and between her husband and her biological son, Concubine Li Guifei chose her biological son.

Not only because the crown prince is the son born to Concubine Li Guifei in October, but also because of Concubine Li's desire for power.

Although Emperor Longqing was also good to Concubine Li, he consulted Concubine Li Guifei for advice on almost everything before making a decision.

But Li Guifei is not satisfied with all this, she hopes that she can really be the master. But Emperor Longqing would not let Concubine Li Guifei mess around like this, and besides, there was still an Empress Chen.

Empress Chen is the wife of Emperor Longqing, not only the wife personally chosen by Emperor Zhu Houxi of Jiajing for his son, but also the wife of Emperor Longqing.

so-called

"The wife of the chaff will not go to court." Even if Emperor Longqing asked Li Guifei to be the empress, the ministers would not agree.

Concubine Li Guifei is very aware of her husband's personality, and as she gets older, Emperor Longqing has begun to spoil herself not as much as before.

Rather than being abandoned by Emperor Longqing and thrown into the cold palace in the future, it is better to train his son to be the emperor and be the queen mother who is really the master of the house.

Therefore, once there is a period and contradiction between Emperor Longqing and the crown prince, Concubine Li will take into account the interests of her son, the crown prince, as soon as possible.

In other words, if one day Emperor Longqing and the crown prince must die, for the sake of the prince's life and future, Li Guifei is very likely to preemptively destroy Emperor Longqing with her own hands.

Emperor Longqing and Concubine Li both understood this in their hearts, but no one publicly explained it. How could such a person, who was not a new wife or son to himself, trust a eunuch with all his heart?

Therefore, Emperor Longqing would never let someone who was not his cronies be his personal eunuch or the chief eunuch of the Qianqing Palace.

Emperor Longqing arranged for his most trusted person to serve as the chief eunuch of the Qianqing Palace, and he felt that the Qianqing Palace was the safest place, and the eunuchs and palace maids around him were all his cronies and were absolutely loyal to him.

Knowing about an accident not long ago, Emperor Longqing knew that all this was nothing more than his own wishful thinking.

The people around him are either Meng Chong's eyeliner or Li Guifei's people, otherwise they are Feng Bao or Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng's people.

There were only 679 people in the Qianqing Palace, including guards and eunuchs, and there were more than 500 people who had problems, and almost all of them had received benefits from others, and they were ready to sell the whereabouts of Emperor Longqing to outsiders anytime and anywhere.

For this reason, Emperor Longqing found an excuse to deal with a group of people, thinking that these people would be reined in, but he didn't expect that the original people and the newcomers began to betray Emperor Longqing again.

Emperor Longqing was almost numb, so he simply let these people monitor him, and be careful when doing things himself.

Meng Chong's cronies are not the eunuchs of the Qianqing Palace, nor are they the personal eunuchs who are responsible for the daily life of Emperor Longqing, but Meng Chong is very clear about Emperor Longqing's every move.

The other party reported the whereabouts of Emperor Longqing to Meng Chong in a timely manner every two hours, which is now four hours.

This is Meng Chong's biggest trump card, no one thought that this inside line was not a eunuch but a palace maid.

Almost no one knows about this palace maid, and the matter about the palace maid has been secretly destroyed by Meng Chong.

This is also the reason why the palace maid is desperate to do things for Meng Chong, because the palace maid hopes to leave the palace alive.

It turns out that this palace maid is one

"Vegetable household" origin, so-called

The "vegetable household" is not a person who is a cook, but a descendant of an official who has committed a crime. Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang is a ruthless person, not only ruthless to the enemy, but also very powerful to his own subordinates.

As an old subordinate who fought the country together, with the wealth after the founding of the People's Republic of China, he began to rob men and women unscrupulously.

These people, who were originally from the lowest level of society, began to do things that they hated back then.

Zhu Yuanzhang is absolutely merciless to this kind of person who embezzles and bullies men and women. Zhu Yuanzhang created a precedent, that is, to let the descendants of these people remember the sins of their ancestors forever, and let his descendants pay for the sins of their ancestors forever.

Zhu Yuanzhang decreed that all officials who were treasonous, bulliful, and corrupt would not only be punished cruelly themselves, but also their descendants would also have retribution.

It is stipulated that the immediate family members of the officials who have committed the crime must sit together, that is, they must be implicated and belong to a group of people who are unlucky together.

The male relatives of the guilty ministers, the adult ones are either killed or sent to the frontier as slaves forever and cannot return; Underage boys were castrated en masse and sent to the palace to serve as miscellaneous eunuchs who could never get ahead.

Female relatives of criminal ministers, who are over 30 years of age or who are disabled or ill, shall be sent to the barracks to serve as military prostitutes; Minors or young women are sent to the Workshop Division.

This teaching department is not a place to teach people to sing and dance, but an official **. Whenever there is a banquet or a festival, the staff of the Department of Education needs to serve the officials, and it is all free of charge.

In order to prevent the people of the Teaching Workshop Division from escaping, and also to prevent people from getting in, the officials of the Teaching Workshop Division are simply inferior to the people of the Teaching Workshop Division.

Except for the usual rehearsals and service to the officials, the women of the Workshop Division had little freedom. In order to prevent these women from escaping or hurting the officials with small movements, these women are usually not allowed to wear clothes, and every ten people are connected together, tied to each other in shackles, and it is impossible to escape.

Not only are they naked in summer, but even in the cold, many new women just freeze to death and can't survive the winter.
