Chapter 10: The curtain of the crusade against the eunuchs begins

"You don't have to be so pessimistic." Cui Chengxiu pondered, "Your Majesty's move may not be to attack you. ”

"Jinyi Wei is the personal guard of the Son of Heaven, any emperor will grasp it in his hands, and it is inevitable to use his henchmen. From the Taizu Dynasty to the present, how many of the former Jinyi Guard commanders can die well? His Majesty has been very merciful in assigning Tian Er Gengfa to Liaodong. ”

"But you are different, and Your Majesty may not be the same to the factory. Because His Majesty needs to check and balance the external court, he must appoint an internal supervisor. Otherwise, the monarch's power will be lost and deceived by the courtiers.

And in the letter mansion, except for Cao Huachun who can take out his hand, there are few people who can use it at all, if you want to balance the foreign dynasty, only Cao Huachun can do it? Therefore, His Majesty is inseparable from the factory father. ”

Wei Zhongxian said blankly: "Is this prince so important?" ”

Cui Chengxiu said categorically: "Of course! Unless His Majesty wants turmoil in the imperial court, he will not attack the factory father. ”

Wei Zhongxian is a signal, those who were driven out of the court will inevitably take the opportunity to launch a counterattack, the officials of the court who were once attached to the eunuch party will not be let go, the current court, seven or eight times out of ten are eunuchs, under the big change, the court will inevitably be turbulent, I don't know when it will be able to restore calm.

And now the world is an eventful autumn, disasters in various places are continuous, there are homeless people in rebellion from time to time, coupled with the construction of slaves outside the customs, the imperial court can not withstand the turmoil at all.

"If Your Majesty is wise, he will not completely take us down, but will let us and the Donglin Party check and balance each other, so that they can completely control the court." Choi Chengxiu said confidently.

If Zhu Youzhen heard this, he would inevitably feel ashamed, this kind of checks and balances is not clever, but he was young in the previous life, and he didn't, so there was a complete change of blood in the court, and many officials who had lost power and stepped down returned to the court one after another, and most of these were Donglin Party members.

And these new returnees, in order to compete for power, fought each other inextricably. Under this kind of internal friction, the country's strength is declining......

Zhu Youzhen didn't care about the movements of the eunuchs, and most of his thoughts were now on training troops in Xiyuan.

Early the next morning, Zhu Youzhen came to Xiyuan and ordered it on time at three o'clock.

Yesterday, most of the sons and daughters of those nobles arrived, and there were a lot more, because Zhu Youzhen ordered someone to inform all the dukes and earls of the capital yesterday, and each family must send a son-in-law. In the future, they will all have to live in the Xiyuan military camp, and they are not allowed to bring their families, which means that they will have to do everything themselves in the future, and there will be no one to wait. These noble sons complained bitterly, but they did not dare not participate.

It's okay not to participate, the ancestral title may have nothing to do with you, how can they be willing to accept it?

Xu Xianchun stood aside with a serious expression, and when he saw him, all the noble children were very surprised, why is this notorious brocade guard here?

However, everyone doesn't care too much, although Xu Xianchun is famous, they will not be afraid, because they are all noble sons and daughters who have retired with the country, and their status in the Ming Dynasty is transcendent!

But soon, these noble children had to face Xu Xianchun squarely, and Zhu Youzhen announced that Xu Xianchun was an instructor of the new army and was responsible for their training.

Zhu Youzhen said a few words briefly, warning them to train well and not to violate military law, and then retreated to the side and sat in the pavilion to watch Xu Xianchun train his troops. The training strategy has been given to Xu Xianchun, so there is no need to do everything himself.

Xu Xianchun quickly divided the more than 50 noble children into two rows and began to train.

First, he stood in a posture for half an hour, standing quietly against the big sun. It's okay that those who have been practicing for a day, those latecomers soon can't stand it, someone moves slightly, Xu Xianchun is a stick, Xu Xianchun is a master of torture, and those who can beat it hurt to the bone but don't hurt the bones.

Someone just complained, and it's another stick!

With the emperor's order, how could Xu Xianchun take these noble children in his eyes, and call them unwelcome. And these noble sons did not dare to resist.

Standing motionless under the scorching sun for half an hour, most of the people who tossed wanted to die, and when the order to rest came, many people collapsed to the ground and cried.

However, after only a quarter of an hour's rest, I had to train again, this time turning left and right and turning back, which is the basis of the formation, which has been established since ancient times.

I have to say that the quality of Xungui's children is still good, there is almost no illiteracy, and everyone can still distinguish between the left and right.

However, the seemingly simple turn left and right turn can also make people collapse if you do it too many times.

After eating at noon and resting for an hour, I continued training in the afternoon, this time in formation.

More than 50 people lined up in two rows, marching in line at the sound of whistles, and the ranks must walk in a uniform manner, and those who drag their feet will be beaten with sticks. The whistle can't stop if it doesn't stop, even if there is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire in front of it.

Xu Xianchun was very insidious, and deliberately ordered everyone to march to the lake, but when the people arrived at the lake, the whistle did not stop, forcing people to jump into the lake.

Someone hesitated, and Xu Xianchun went up with a stick and knocked people into the lake at once. Helpless, the others could only jump into the lake with their eyes closed......

This kind of training lasted all day, and everyone almost shed their skin, and they collapsed on the ground from exhaustion. Fortunately, these people eat well and dress well on weekdays, and their bodies are much better than ordinary people, so they have not been broken.

And this training will continue until they are reborn, until they make obedience instinctive.

Zhu Youzhen stayed in Xiyuan for three days, supervising the training every day, and his presence was enough to make these noble children dare not raise moths.

But after all, he is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and it is impossible to only stay in Xiyuan every day, although he does not want to waste time in the court, it does not mean that regardless of state affairs, important performances still have to be watched.

Three days later, Zhu Youzhen no longer went to Xiyuan every day, but the training continued, with Xu Xianchun's means and Zhu Youzhen's holy decree, it was enough to make those noble children obey and not dare to stab.

And the main reason why Zhu Youzhen returned his eyes from Xiyuan to the court was that there were finally waves in the court, and Zhu Youzhen finally saw the impeachment of the eunuchs.

On September 7, the seventh year of the Apocalypse, Yushi Yang impeached Cui Chengxiu, the secretary of the military department, for corrupting the law and mutilating the people.

The song was sent to Zhu Youzhen, Zhu Youzhen smiled slightly, and did not send it.

However, the impeachment note was like a stone sinking into the sea and was not announced, and Yang Suoxiu was scared all of a sudden. He couldn't figure out whether the emperor was unwilling to deal with the eunuchs, or whether the eunuchs were holding the court and not being able to send them to the emperor. Either case would not be a good thing for him, because he would inevitably receive a swift counterattack from the eunuchs.

The eunuch party controls the Jinyi guard of the East Factory, and Yang Suoxiu's own ass is not clean, once the eunuch party moves, Yang Suoxiu will not be spared at all.

Frightened, Yang asked his friend Chen Eryi to write a letter to defend Cui Chengxiu, trying to get the eunuch's understanding.

In any case, Yang Suoxiu's impeachment opened the curtain on the crusade against the eunuchs.
