Chapter 10: The Inner Court Has Changed
Zhu Di really didn't expect that someone could be so shameless.
And on the contrary, this person is still his great-grandson, the son of the good saint grandson!
My good saint, why don't you live long!
Zhu Di walked down the city wall, shook his head fiercely, and threw these thoughts out of his heart.
I don't know how long I walked, as soon as I walked outside the Qianqing Palace, I heard a burst of shouting and beating, Zhu Di beat people a lot, so he could naturally hear this kind of fist-to-flesh movement.
So, I walked over slowly.
In a corner, in the side hall, several celebrant eunuchs surrounded the little eunuch Wang Cheng in the middle.
Xing'an stood aside with his hands on his chest, and said with a sneer: "Godson, I have climbed the high branch of King Yu, and I don't even know that my old father comes to ask for peace every day." ”
"Now you're a quasi-brand of the Qianqing Palace, aren't you? The bull is angry, isn't it? ”
"I'll tell you, don't say that you're not a brand now, even if you're a brand, you're nothing in front of me Xing'an!"
"I said, where have you been running happily these days, you can't see the shadows, we have to teach you the rules in this palace! Call me until I'm okay! ”
When the words landed, several ceremonial eunuchs immediately rushed up, punching and kicking.
Don't look at it as a eunuch, that strength is not small, Wang Cheng was surrounded in the middle, he had no power to fight back, of course he didn't dare to fight back, he just kept wailing.
"Ancestor! Hey, don't hit me! ”
"If you beat me again, I'll be killed, how dare the little one encroach on you!"
"Spare me! Spare me! ”
Seeing that Wang Cheng was beaten to vomit blood, a smile appeared on Xing'an, who was standing on the side, and said, "That's not good, now that Wang Zhen is dead, the big crotch in the palace is me." ”
"There are 10,000 eunuchs in the palace, how can you do it without some rules?"
Zhu Di understood everything, and his feelings were prosperous because Wang Cheng contacted him privately, afraid that he would take his place in the future, so he came here to settle accounts with him while he went out.
The brand is the name of the chief eunuch of a palace and a palace in the palace of the Ming Dynasty.
This matter has to be given to Wang Cheng, otherwise how can anyone dare to work for him?
"Are the rules in this palace made by you or by me?"
Zhu Di walked in slowly, and in an instant, the fighting in the hall stopped, and Wang Cheng ran to stand behind him as if he had seen a savior.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you are here."
Wang Cheng was still panting as he spoke, his face was red and swollen, the celebrant and eunuchs were at a loss, and Xing'an said with a smile after a while:
"Here, why are you here, Emperor?"
"Slave... Slaves and maids are also teaching their own people..."
"The emperor is also what you can call?" Zhu Di glared at Xing'an coldly and said, "I tell you, Wang Cheng, in the future, it will be the new brand of the Qing Palace, and I will mention him as the eunuch of the master of ceremonies!" ”
"Xing'an, come here."
Xing'an was stunned for a moment, very frightened in his heart, and slowly walked over under the frightened gazes of the ceremonial eunuchs.
"Smack——!
Zhu Di waved his palm and slapped him hard.
"If I see this again, next time, I'll have a knife in my hand, understand?"
Xing'an was directly stunned, covered his red cheeks and quickly knelt down: "The emperor forgives the sin, no, no, no!" Your Majesty, the slaves and maids will never dare again, no more! ”
"Wang Cheng, what are you doing in a daze, go back to the palace with me!" Zhu Di glanced at it and walked away.
Today's event is not only to give Xing'an a big mouth, but also to the rest of the celebrants and eunuchs present, the deterrent effect is even stronger than a big mouth.
When Jin Ying, another big crotch in the palace, heard this, he was no less shocked than a big bidou.
Wang Cheng was just a lonely little eunuch before, but now he has broken away from Xing'an, and he will be the eunuch Bingbi who is in charge of the three halls of the Qianqing Palace.
There are more than 1,000 eunuchs in the three halls of the Qianqing Palace, and the palace maids have not yet counted, this force is already quite large in the inner court, not to mention that the three halls of the Qianqing Palace are the residence of the emperor, and they reach the heavens.
This shows that the inner court is about to change!
Back in the Qianqing Palace, Wang Cheng motioned to the surrounding palace maids and eunuchs to retreat one by one, and then Putong suddenly knelt down in front of Zhu Di and cried bitterly: "Your Majesty's grace today is like reconstruction!" ”
"Slave maid, slave maid even gave up this crippled body, and there is no way to repay it!"
Zhu Di laughed, helped him up with his own hands, and said: "Now you still call me Your Majesty, it's a little too distant, I allow you to call me the emperor." ”
"Yes, Emperor!"
"You don't have to come here again today, go back and rest and treat your wounds." After Zhu Di finished speaking, he suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, I asked you something." ”
Wang Cheng hurriedly said: "The emperor asked, and the slaves and maids answered everything. ”
"Liu Ju, the governor of Xizhimen, is the person recommended by Yu Qian, the secretary of the Ministry of War, to check his details, whether he has any relatives, and whether they are all serving in the court."
Wang Cheng bowed his head and said: "If you want to talk about your relatives, the slave only knows that Liu Dudu's parents have passed away, and he is the son of Liu Yongcheng, the eunuch of the imperial horse supervisor's palm seal. ”
"Liu Yongcheng?" When Zhu Di heard this name, he was a little familiar.
After thinking about it for a while, I suddenly remembered that this Liu Yongcheng was promoted to the Imperial Horse Supervisor during the Yongle period.
Speaking of which, Liu Yongcheng is the old confidant eunuch of the old Zhu family.
At the age of twelve, he was selected by Zhu Yuanzhang to serve with him, so he learned a body of martial arts, he was proficient in equestrianism, especially good at riding and shooting, and in the previous life, he also promoted him to the imperial horse prison, and repeatedly took him to the north.
At that time, in addition to Zheng He, the eunuch that Zhu Di looked down on the most was this Liu Yongcheng, who was the same as him.
It's just that I don't know, can he still deny it now?
Unexpectedly, Liu Ju still has such a relationship.
The "slave" is not a son, let alone a son who was passed on to a eunuch.
Liu Ju is the son of Liu Yongcheng, the eunuch of the Imperial Horse Supervisor's palm seal, which shows that Liu Ju's father is Liu Yongcheng's brother, and the two are from the same origin.
In other words, Liu Yongcheng is Liu Ju's uncle.
In this way, things are easier to do.
As for whether Liu Yongcheng is loyal, Zhu Di absolutely believes that he is loyal, but now he is borrowing the body of his great-grandson Zhu Qiyu, whether he is still loyal to himself, this needs to be tested.
The Imperial Horse Supervisor is in charge of the flag army, and for Zhu Di, it is impossible to have soldiers in his hands.
Liu Ju's Xizhimen defenders can't save the near fire from far water, and once there is chaos, they can't leave Xizhimen at will, since the two of them have this relationship, they need to be wooed.
Winning over one person is equivalent to winning over the entire Liu family.
Zhu Di said: "I almost know, don't check anymore, you go and tell Liu Yongcheng, let him come to the Qianqing Palace tonight to find me, I have something to say to him." ”
Wang Cheng didn't know why, so he had to do it.
......
Late at night, Liu Yongcheng, the eunuch of the imperial horse supervisor's palm print, also came to the outside of the Qianqing Palace.
He didn't know why the Emperor Jingtai, who had just been on the throne for more than ten days, suddenly wanted to look for him, he only knew that Emperor Taizongwen was as kind to him as a mountain, and the important task of supervising the imperial horse supervisor was given by the Yongle Emperor.
Shouldering the heavy term of office of Emperor Taizongwen, he needs to judge the situation, especially at this critical moment, he must not let the inner court be chaotic.
