The square used for the execution is the Qianqing Gate in the north and the Jianji Hall in the south.

To the west is the Longzong Gate, and the northwest corner is the famous military aircraft office in later generations.

The east side is Jingyun Gate, and from Jingyun Gate to the south, go straight for 300 steps, which is the area of Wenyuan Pavilion and Wenhua Palace.

There is no access barrier between them, and the important ministers of the cabinet can walk to Jingyun Gate unimpeded.

In fact, Chen Xun, Wang Wen and others really heard the news, gathered on the steps outside the Jingyun Gate, and looked inside through the crack in the door.

However, the ministers are limited to secretly watching, the emperor is dealing with the slaves and maids in the inner court, and the ministers will not have nothing to do when they are full, and run to touch the emperor's mold.

In the Ming Dynasty, strictly speaking, the eunuchs and palace maids in the inner court were all personal slaves of the emperor, and life and death were all decided by the emperor.

According to Confucian jurisprudence, the whole world is not the king's land; On the shore of the land, it is not the king's minister. The king told the minister to die, and the minister had to die.

Therefore, theoretically, the emperor can also kill and take away foreign ministers at will. It's just that no emperor would really do that.

In a word, no matter what the emperor does to the eunuchs and palace maids, the ministers can't control it, and no one wants to care about it.

What the ministers are concerned about now is why the emperor is angry?

According to the observations of the ministers these days, the emperor was a man of a relatively mild temper, and a man who was both reasonable and emotional.

Even if he hated the minister, the emperor was just sneering. At most, the most is to kick the obstructive minister out of the capital to counsel the military affairs.

Chen Xun and Wang Wen crowded at the front, listening to the miserable and mournful screams, looking at the bloody scene, both of them felt a little cold.

Chen Xunlala Wang Wen's sleeve: "Qianzhi, what do you think?" ”

Wang Wen replied absentmindedly: "Your Majesty is full of natural energy, lifting weights like light, and has the image of a holy lord. ”

When everyone heard this, they all looked at each other, and they were a little confused.

In terms of looking at people, Wang Wen was the most authoritative person among the courtiers.

Wang Wen himself is a profound person, with a cold face and an extraordinary temperament, and all the imperial historians are afraid of him.

In the Ming Dynasty, people who can obey the obedience of a lot of imperial history are already qualified to be called god-level figures.

Cultivating qi and looking forward to qi is a very mysterious thing, but Wang Wen has already mastered the essence of it.

So when the ministers were still watching the situation in the court, Wang Wen was already following the new monarch wholeheartedly.

However, the original intention of Chen Xun's question was to let Wang Wen analyze and analyze what happened. What everyone wants to hear is also the secret news of the palace.

Everyone didn't expect Wang Wen to come to a sentence that His Majesty is full of natural energy, lifts weights like light, and has the image of a holy lord.

Everyone couldn't deny this sentence, so they could only echo it repeatedly. Chen Xun's question was fooled by Wang Wen in this way.

Not long after, all the people in the first palace were killed by the emperor's personal guards, and the entire square became silent again.

Zhu Qiyu sat there coldly and did not speak, and was silent for a meal.

It wasn't until everyone was beating the drums in their hearts and they couldn't bear it anymore that Zhu Qiyu asked: "Where are Chen Mian, Ruan An, Wang Jin, Ruan Lang, Ruan Rang, Ruan Xi, and Hao Yi?" ”

When the seven eunuchs heard this, four of them immediately felt their hearts beat faster and their backs cold, thinking that the emperor was going to continue to make trouble.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Qiyu's tone changed: "The seven of you have made meritorious contributions in supervising the army and defending the city in the defense of Beijing, Chen Mian removed his original position and was reappointed as the eunuch of the ceremonial supervisor Bingbi, and the head of the Qianqing Palace.

Ruan An was reappointed as the eunuch of the ceremonial supervisor Bingbi, and succeeded Jin Ying, and concurrently served as the head of Cining Palace.

Wang Jin, promoted to the eunuch of the celebrant and the eunuch of the pen, is still in charge of the imperial supervision seal, and is also in charge of the inner study hall.

Ruan Lang was promoted to the eunuch of the Si Zhi Jian Zhangyin, and Chen Xiang, who temporarily went out to supervise the army, was in charge of the Shangshan Seal.

Ruan Rang, in charge of Shang Bao Jian and Shang Yi Jian Yin.

Ruan Xi was promoted to the eunuch of the ceremonial eunuch and the eunuch of the court, and he was in charge of the seal.

Hao Yi was promoted to the eunuch of the Imperial Horse Supervisor and the seal of the military battle. ”

The seven eunuchs thanked him, and Zhu Qiyu continued: "Wang Cheng, the eunuch who is the eunuch of the ceremonial eunuch and the eunuch of the pen, is the official supervisor of the seal.

Shu Liang, the eunuch of the ceremonial supervisor Bingbi, the palm seal of the silk supervisor, the wine vinegar noodle bureau, and the seal of the Huanyi bureau, temporarily replaced the Xing'an Admiral Dongchang who went out to supervise the army.

Zhang Yong, the eunuch of the pen, the eunuch of the straight palace, the salary department, and the seal of the silver bureau.

Wang Qin, the eunuch of the ceremonial supervisor and the eunuch of the pen, the supervisor of the palace of the gods, the bell and drum division, the needlework bureau, and the internal weaving and dyeing bureau. ”

Zhu Qiyu didn't pretend anymore, and all the four eunuchs who had followed him since childhood were promoted to the eunuchs of the ceremonial eunuch Bingbi in one go.

This is a reasonable and legal exercise of the rights that belong to the emperor, but no one dares to say a word.

However, Zhu Qiyu was quite restrained, among the eleven eunuchs just appointed, seven were his henchmen, and four were either from the Emperor Taishang's faction or from the neutral faction.

After such a one-brain appointment, except for the particularly obvious Wang Cheng and others, it is difficult for the rest of the ordinary people to distinguish which is the emperor's own cronies.

This is exactly the effect that Zhu Qiyu wants, and then he ordered: "Chen Mian is responsible for re-selecting a group of palace maids and eunuchs, and after I personally see them, I will send them to the Qianqing Palace on an errand." If there is a slight mistake, it will still be the same as today, and all of them will be killed.

Ruan Xi was responsible for recruiting a thousand eunuchs to form a pure army, patrolling the inner palace day and night to strengthen the guards.

In the future, the eleven of you will be the leaders of the eunuchs of the inner court, and I have high hopes for you, hoping that you will not disappoint me. ”

When everyone heard this, they hurriedly thanked them.

Zhu Qiyu waved his hand and motioned for everyone to disperse.

The palace maids and eunuchs left the square as if they had been amnestied.

The guards were in charge of killing and buriing, but lined up neatly and loyally to defend the emperor.

Zhu Qiyu motioned to the guards to wait, and he flashed back to the Qianqing Palace, still praying to Queen Qian through the screen: "Don't worry, sister-in-law, these traitors have been killed by me, and I will send a group of loyal subordinates to serve the emperor's sister-in-law." ”

Empress Qian was frightened, but she had to thank the emperor head-on.

After a few words, everyone left Queen Qian to recuperate in bed and went out together.

Empress Dowager Sun sat down at the top and asked tentatively: "Emperor, you always live in the palace, it's not the same thing."

After all, the Qian family and the Zhou family are just the queen of the Taishang, and now they are not rightly named and unspeakable, and they can't manage the palace people in the inner court.

I think the emperor should move to the palace immediately, and then set up a queen, so that someone can manage the harem justifiably. ”

Zhu Qiyu just laughed dryly twice when he heard this, and he didn't bother to bother talking anymore.

The concubine was busy playing a round on the side: "The queen mother is kind, we understand it." It's just that the women in our family are all from humble backgrounds, and they are not used to living in such a good place as the palace.

Unlike the Queen Mother, as soon as she enters the palace, she is the concubine of the grandson, and she should live in this magnificent place.

Please ask the Queen Mother not to mention the matter of entering the palace in the future. ”

When Empress Dowager Sun heard this, she was so angry that her face turned red. Which pot of the concubine is not opened, what is the meaning of 'as soon as you enter the palace, you are the concubine of the grandson', isn't this an insinuation, which means that the Empress Dowager Sun killed her wife with a concubine.

At this point, Empress Dowager Sun could see that the absurd emperor in front of her did not want to compete for the position of empress of his own generation, but instead wanted to fight Empress Xuanzong's idea.

It's just that understanding is understood, and anger is anger, but Empress Dowager Sun now has no cards in her hand. Now the entire capital army is under the control of the emperor, and the emperor has gone to the Western Regions.

Now the emperor's faction wants a righteous name, but there is no righteous name; To have military power, the troops loyal to the emperor either died in Tumubao or were transferred out of Beijing.

Not only that, but even the heads of civil servants, military generals, nobles, and eunuchs who were loyal to the emperor had all been driven out of Beijing by the emperor for various reasons.

Now there are still people in the capital who are loyal to the emperor, but they are just three or two big cats and kittens, and they have long been out of fashion.

The only thing that is uncertain now is, to what extent will the emperor care about decency?

If the emperor breaks the jar, it will not be difficult to kill the entire family of the emperor immediately, at most, it will be ugly.

So Empress Dowager Sun chose to grit her teeth and swallow her grievances in her stomach. From now on, it will be a long time of patience and weakness, dormant and waiting.

When the emperor was negligent and showed his flaws, he would give him a fatal blow.

This is called taking what you want, and giving it; If you want to be weak, you will be strong.

Zhu Qiyu was afraid that Empress Dowager Sun would continue to entangle, so he took the concubine and the princess into the carriage and went back to the house.
