Master of Ceremonies.

The great eunuch Wang Chengen, as well as the ceremonial eunuchs Cao Huachun, Gao Qiqian, Wang Dehua, Pang Tianshou, Du Xun, etc., are all gathered here, these people can be said to be the best among the eunuchs, and they are also the most trusted group of the emperor.

After so many years, Wang Chengen has established absolute authority, once upon a time, Cao Huachun, Gao Qiqian, Wang Dehua and others still wanted to compete with Wang Chengen for power, but now they will not do this, the emperor's trust in Wang Chengen, everyone is in the eyes, they are not qualified to compete with Wang Chengen for power.

Wang Chengen's biggest advantage is to keep a low profile and take care of everyone, Wang Chengen is not the kind of eunuch who has a monopoly on power, Wei Zhongxian's dominance and the final encounter during the Apocalypse, Wang Chengen will never forget, he is thinking about the emperor, and he is never willing to block the emperor, so in the distribution of power, Wang Chengen pays more attention to everyone.

It is precisely for this reason that Wang Chengen has absolute authority in the celebrant supervisor.

Yang Sichang's secret letter has long been placed on the table, and everyone has read it.

The discussion went on for half an hour, and Wang Chengen never spoke.

Many ceremonial eunuchs have different views on this, among which Du Xun is the most supportive of Yang Sichang's idea, after all, Du Xun used to be the supervisor of western Liaoning, and after Songshan, he became the supervisor of Shanhaiguan, and he was transferred back to the ceremonial eunuch not long ago, became the eunuch of the ceremonial eunuch, and entered the top of the eunuch team.

Cao Huachun, the commander of the Jingying, and Wang Dehua, the governor of Dongchang, completely disagreed with Yang Sichang's approach, believing that Yang Sichang led a large army and consumed the money and grain of the imperial court, which was the need to exterminate the rogues. Even if the rogue goes to attack Shaanxi, the imperial army should also encircle and suppress it from behind, as for agreeing to Li Zicheng's request, it is even more nonsense, what is Li Zicheng, he is a rogue and a thief. If such a thief can also be canonized as a prince, wouldn't it be a big joke.

Although the argument was not very heated, neither side had any intention of backing down.

This situation looks a little funny, it should have been a big matter to be discussed at the court meeting, or it should be discussed directly by the cabinet, but the decision was made by the celebrant eunuch, I don't know how Zhu Yuanzhang, the Ming Taizu who did not allow eunuchs to interfere in politics, knew what he thought about it.

Wang Chengen has always been thinking, he thinks about the angle of the problem. Basically, from the perspective of benefiting the emperor, it should be noted that there is a certain difference in this, some things are beneficial to the imperial court, Wang Chengen may not necessarily support it, because that kind of thing is not necessarily beneficial to the emperor, but beneficial to the emperor, even if it has a relatively large impact on the imperial court, Wang Chengen will not hesitate to support it.

What Wang Chengen needs to think about is the suggestion put forward by Yang Sichang. Is it beneficial to the emperor?

On the surface, Yang Sichang's suggestion. It is obviously unfavorable to the emperor, and recognizing Li Zicheng's status is to recognize the status of the rogue, so many years have passed, and the imperial court has been exterminating the rogue, and the loss is huge. Now that the strength of the Liukou is slowly increasing, the emperor will recognize the status of the Liukou, so if there are rebellions in the future, won't the emperor have to admit it.

There is also one of the biggest problems here, that is, Zheng Xunrui, the king of Xiang.

Zheng Xunrui's practice in the south. It is more powerful than the rebellion, it has already lost the emperor's foundation in the south, Nanzhili, Huguang, Sichuan, Shandong, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, Guizhou and Fujian and other places, have not obeyed the emperor's decree and the orders of the imperial court, everything follows the meaning of Zheng Xunrui in Nanjing, what is even more infuriating is that Zheng Xunrui openly crusaded against Huang Degong, the general soldier of Zhejiang, as well as the governor Tongzhi, the general soldier of Fujian, Zheng Zhilong, forced the Duke of Qianguo and the general soldier of Fujian Mu Tianbo to return to obedience, completely ignoring the emperor's face.

To be honest, Zheng Xunrui is already the biggest enemy of the emperor and the imperial court.

If the emperor recognized Li Zicheng's status and recognized Li Zicheng's governance of Henan, Shaanxi, Shanxi and other places, wouldn't it be a disguised recognition of Zheng Xunrui's governance of the entire south of the Ming Dynasty.

However, from the perspective of actual interests, anyone who can do something to Zheng Xunrui, whether it is Liukou Li Zicheng or Huang Taiji of Houjin, is the emperor's temporary ally, as long as these people fight with the Zheng family army with all their strength and weaken the strength of the Zheng family army, it is a very beneficial thing for the emperor and the imperial court, from this point of view, Yang Sichang's decision is undoubtedly correct.

It depends on how to understand Yang Sichang's proposal.

Wang Chengen felt one thing, that is, Yang Sichang understood the emperor's mind very well.

On the contrary, even Qian Shisheng, the first assistant of the cabinet, and many cabinet ministers will never support Yang Sichang, not only will they not support it, but they may also take advantage of this opportunity to impeach Yang Sichang on a large scale.

The emperor has suffered too much stimulation recently, especially those news from the south, which has made the emperor on the verge of anger all the time, and at this time, the cabinet and the celebrant are not paying attention to it, and it is very likely to cause an uproar.

After thinking about it, Wang Chengen decided to support Yang Sichang's opinion.

When Wang Chengen spoke, everyone fell silent.

"You have said so much, our family has heard it, and our family supports Lord Yang."

Wang Chengen has made a final decision, which means that the debate does not need to continue.

"What His Royal Highness the King of Xiang did in the south, you are all clear, our family feels that His Royal Highness the King of Xiang has betrayed the trust of the emperor and the trust of the court, and his behavior is even more hateful than that of the Liukou and the Houjin Tartars, and the King of Xiang is holding the court's fortune on the one hand, and constantly destroying the prestige of the emperor and the court on the other, and his behavior is no different from rebellion."

"The north is in turmoil, and the court has no time to strengthen the south, but this does not mean that the emperor does not deal with the affairs of the south, and our family does not believe that Zheng Xunrui can bewitch all the scholars in the south, after all, these scholars are towards the emperor and the court, so as long as the court has overcome the current difficulties, it can start to govern the south."

"Now that Yang Daren is turning the tide, leading the army to conquer the Liukou, thinking about stabilizing the situation in the north, this is actually to buy time for the emperor, but the imperial court army is conquest of the Liukou, the loss must be there, and it may be very large, in this case, Lord Yang suggested that the Liukou and the Zheng family army should fight, wouldn't it reduce the burden on the court."

"Wouldn't it be a pity that such a good method could not be adopted."

"Let's not talk about Lord Yang's suggestion is perfect, there must be a problem in it, but you have to think carefully, what are the problems and troubles that the emperor needs to solve the most now, thinking of this, you must all support Lord Yang's suggestion."

"You are the emperor's closest and most trusted people, our family can leave the words here, if anyone is bent on their own little ninety-nine, our family will not be polite, the power of the celebrant is given by the emperor, and we must share the emperor's worries." ……

In the Qianqing Palace, Yang Sichang's memorabilia, the cabinet and the Metropolitan Procuratorate impeachment memorabilia were all placed on the imperial case.

Zhu Youzhen's face was a little blue, his eye circles were slightly dark, his mood was very bad, many governors appointed by the southern imperial court came to the capital one after another, almost all of them cried and complained that Zheng Xunrui was removed from the post of governor, which made Zhu Youzhen extremely angry, but unfortunately no matter how angry he was, he was beyond the reach of the whip, and Zheng Xunrui would not listen to him at all.

Raising tigers is a problem, the court had a mixed reputation for Zheng Xunrui at the beginning, think about Zheng Xunrui when he first entered the court, he was just a hairy young man, and after more than ten years, he became the biggest gravedigger in the court.

Zhu Youzhen couldn't figure it out, and he was unwilling to accept such a cruel truth.

The impeachment of the court made Zhu Youzhen even more angry, he understood very well that Yang Sichang's suggestion was for him, and Yang Sichang was truly loyal, but only God knows what so many adults in the court think and for.

Zhu Youzhen wanted to lose his temper and wanted to empty the entire court, but unfortunately he couldn't do this, and he couldn't do it.

Zhu Youzhen's heart had already gathered a large powder keg, and he didn't know when it would be ignited, and he knew that he couldn't arouse anger at this time, otherwise the imperial court would not be able to continue to maintain it.

When Wang Chengen entered the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Youzhen did not look up.

"Wang Chengen, what's the matter, are you also preparing to impeach Yang Aiqing?"

"Your Majesty, the slave and maid lead the celebrant and the eunuchs to support Lord Yang's suggestion, Lord Yang should be rewarded for the country and the people......"

Wang Chengen's words made Zhu Youzhen raise his head.

His sharp eyes stared at Wang Chengen, and slowly, his gaze softened, and from Wang Chengen's eyes, what he felt was sincerity, and that was enough.

With a long exhale, Zhu Youzhen opened his mouth fiercely.

"The DPRK and the Central Committee are all about impeaching Yang Aiqing, I really don't understand why this is happening."

"Your Majesty, the slaves and maids are courageous, all the lords in the court, I am afraid that all you think of is the face of the court, and you don't think about the difficulties of the emperor, Lord Yang is on the front line and knows the difficulty of the war, so he put forward such a wise suggestion, the emperor doesn't have to care about the thoughts of the lords in the court, just give an order to Lord Yang."

Wang Chengen's words ignited Zhu Youzhen's anger.

"Wang Chengen, why are you speaking for those bastard ministers, they are just thinking about their own interests, all they think about all day long is to fight for power and profit, that is, to obtain money, they don't think about the government at all, I can't wait to peel off their chests to see if their hearts are black or red, they are holding my money, thinking of themselves, they are my biggest enemy......"

When Zhu Youzhen was angry, Wang Chengen lowered his head and beared, without feeling wronged at all, the emperor was able to vent his anger in front of him, which was the greatest trust in him, and the emperor's words could not be said at all in front of the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, that is, with him, the most trusted person.

Wang Chengen suddenly felt that the emperor was very pitiful, and he couldn't have fun if he wanted to lose his temper. (To be continued.) )
