The Emperor looked at it and asked, "How did you find out?"

Chang Wei replied: "Yesterday, when the minister walked back from Wang Gongchang, he found four women coming out of the Cheng'en Temple, and the minister thought how could there be women in and out of the royal temple? Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

The emperor said in a condensed voice: "This is the reason why you came in from the Donghua Gate yesterday?

Chang Wei bowed and said: "This matter is very high, how dare the minister innocently guess the concubine in the palace? But the minister is in charge of the Beizhen Fu Division and has the important task of supervising the safety of Gyeonggi, so he did not dare to ignore such a thing, so he sent his subordinates to Cheng'en Temple to investigate at night last night, and his subordinates saw that there was a ** thing in the temple, so they arrested the monk Zong Kang and the woman Lu Xi'er, and only learned of such a shocking conspiracy in the first trial!"

The emperor said in a deep voice: "Old Wei, find Lao Wang and Father-in-law Lu to come over." ”

Hearing the name Gonggong Lu, Wei Zhongxian's eyes changed suddenly, and he immediately responded.

Gonggong Lu?Chang Wei was even more surprised, what eunuch deserves such a title from the emperor?

Seeing the emperor sitting behind the dragon case in a daze, Chang Wei asked, "Your Majesty, the minister will go to Cheng'en Temple to arrest people?"

The emperor came back to his senses, waved away the little eunuchs and palace maids who were waiting, and said, "Those who don't matter don't matter, what do you say I should do with King Fu?"

Fuwang Zhu Changxun is the son of Zheng Guifei, the younger brother of Guangzong Zhu Changluo, the uncle of Tianqi Zhu Youxiao, and the favorite son of Emperor Wanli. Emperor Wanli did not appoint Zhu Changluo as the crown prince for fifteen years, just to pass on the throne to the blessed king Zhu Changxun.

The ministers of the court believed that the eldest son of the emperor was the foundation of the country, so he fought unrelentingly with the Wanli Emperor for fifteen years.

Who would have thought that ten years after the incident, Concubine Zheng and King Fu would not give up.

Chang Wei said in a low voice: "Da Ming Law, the rebel will not be defeated!"

The Emperor sighed and said, "But after all, it is my imperial uncle." ”

Chang Wei was stunned and said: "But this is a crime of treason, at least you have to be demoted to a concubine and imprisoned for life." ”

The emperor said again: "It's still heavy, I think it's okay to invite him back to Beijing, what do you say?"

Chang Wei opened his mouth wide in surprise and couldn't speak, "This lord is so soft-hearted, how can he be an emperor? ”

After thinking about it, Chang Wei said: "Your Majesty, the top priority is to arrest Concubine Zheng first, and then send people to Luoyang to restrain King Fu, as for how to deal with it, it's not too late to talk about it later." ”

After speaking, he stepped forward and said in an inaudible voice: "Don't forget, Your Majesty, Lu Xi'er is a person from the Nine Cities Chaotic Cloud Valley, and this matter may be related to the Wang Gongchang explosion!"

The emperor leaned back on the dragon chair and said bitterly, "I know. ”

What kind of mentality is this? Shouldn't it be the joy of catching the murderer and getting revenge? Chang Wei could only be surprised again and stepped aside. The two monarchs and ministers were silent, and the warm pavilion of the Qianqing Palace suddenly fell silent as if it were dead.

After a while, the footsteps of the three people were heard outside, and the emperor sat on the dragon chair and returned to his normal state.

"Finally, there is no need to be silent anymore!"

Chang Wei breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head and saw that Wang Tiqian was half a step behind Wei Zhongxian's right, and on the left was a tall old eunuch with a majestic face, this person walked side by side with Wei Zhongxian, his expression was serious, but Wei Zhongxian was slightly sideways and maintained a polite attitude.

"Wei Fatzi is actually afraid of this old eunuch? Who is this? Could it be that he is a peerless master enshrined by the royal family?"

The surprise in Chang Wei's heart is indescribable, no matter what the news he has gotten from that aspect, Wei Zhongxian has the power of the world, and no one in the harem can compete with him, how can there be a eunuch who can make Wei Zhongxian pay respect?

The old eunuch walked a few steps to the dragon case and knelt down, and said in a deep voice: "The old slave imperial horse eunuch palm seal eunuch Lu Xing'an pays a visit to the emperor!"

"It turned out to be the palm seal of the Imperial Horse Supervisor who was in charge of the soldiers and horses in the inner court, no wonder! No wonder!" Chang Wei suddenly realized.

Among the twenty-four eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty, the celebrant and the imperial horse supervisor were the most important. On behalf of the emperor, the celebrant examines and approves the cabinet tickets, and is in fact the "internal minister" of the cabinet; the imperial horse supervisor and the military department and the governor's office of the five armies jointly hold the military authority, which is actually the "privy government" of the inner court. The Imperial Horse Supervisor also had to manage the pasture, the Imperial Village, operate the Imperial Store, and manage the finances with the households, and was the "internal steward" of the Ming Court.

The most powerful is the Imperial Horse Warden in charge of the Imperial Forest Army guarding the Imperial City: Yulin, Shenwu, Tengxiang, Wuxiang "Four Guards" and the Warrior Battalion.

And Hu Cong went out to fight, the fire card of the soldiers, the four emperors of the Ming Dynasty who personally commanded the troops: Chengzu, Xuanzong, Yingzong, Wuzong, all of them were in charge of the military power when they were in charge of the war, and the famous ones were Zheng He, Wang Zhi, and Liu Jin.

After the Tumubao Revolution Yingzong was arrested, when the crown prince Shaobao Yuqian defended the capital, the most meritorious was the Imperial Forest Forbidden Army led by the Imperial Horse Supervisor.

The Imperial Horse Supervisor also has the right to supervise the Beijing camp and supervise the guns; he has the special right to supervise the troops on the sides of the town and the provinces; except for Nanjing, where the eunuchs sent by the Master of Ceremonies are seated, the rest of the places are guarded by the Imperial Horse Eunuchs.

The West Factory, which was set up twice during the Chenghua and Zhengde years, was the product of the Imperial Horse Supervisor Yin Wang Zhi and Liu Jin who led the East Factory.

Because it is difficult for the foreign court to unify its opinions when handling major affairs, it lacks efficiency. Therefore, whenever there is an accident in the country, and the emperor thinks that the civil and military affairs of the foreign court are ineffective, the eunuchs can immediately overstep their responsibilities and participate in the politics in an all-round way. For example, the Wanli Emperor sent mine supervisors and tax envoys to various places due to lack of money, and the current Emperor of the Apocalypse thought that the situation in Liaodong was serious, so he restored the eunuchs on all sides.

In terms of the functions and powers of the Imperial Horse Supervisor and the Master of Ceremonies, the Master of Ceremonies has a strong stability, while the Royal Horse Supervisor has a greater degree of arbitrariness. Although Wei Zhongxian gave people the appearance of chaotic government, it was undeniable that the celebrant and the civil officials of the foreign dynasty stabilized the ruling order, and the imperial horse supervisor was the embodiment of the emperor's use of private will to destroy the government of the court.

The emperor said politely: "Father-in-law Lu, please get up!"

"Thank you, Emperor!" Lu Xingan kowtowed and said, "The emperor asked Gonggong Wei to call the old slave, I don't know what happened?"

The emperor handed over the song, pointed at Chang Wei, and said, "This is the information that Chang Wei, the envoy of Jinyi Weibei Town, learned this morning. ”

After reading it, Lu Xingan hugged his fists and asked, "Master Chang, is this true?"

This old eunuch is so cautious, Chang Wei replied: "It's true!"

Lu Xingan bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, please give an order!"

The emperor got up and said, "No need to make a noise, just a few of us will go and have a look." ”

Lu Xingan immediately persuaded: "Why do you need to work for the emperor, just a few old slaves." ”

"It's okay!" the emperor sighed and said, "I haven't seen Concubine Zheng for a long time, so I'm just going to take a look." ”

After saying that, he was about to walk out, when he suddenly said, "Take my Yongle sword." ”

The little eunuch brought the sword, but the emperor stuffed it into Chang Wei's arms, "Take it for self-defense." ”

"Don't dare!"

Even if the emperor doesn't care, the impeachment recital of the outer court will fly into the inner palace like snowflakes after a while.

"Let's go!" The emperor waved his hand and walked out, the three eunuchs followed closely, Chang Wei could only follow like a little eunuch with a sword, and there was also a historian by his side.

Out of the Qianqing Palace, through the Fengxian Palace, into the Renshou Palace, here is the usual sense of the cold palace, there are only two old eunuchs outside, as soon as the emperor and the three eunuchs with the greatest authority in the palace arrived, they immediately knelt on the ground in fright, and were about to speak but were repelled by Wei Zhongxian waving his hand.

A few people went straight into the inner hall, Wen Miaosi and the other four palace maids heard the footsteps, and when they came out, they looked frightened and were about to run inward, when Wei Zhongxian and Wang Tiqian moved slightly, and the four of them were knocked to the ground.

"Sure enough, it's a top master!" Chang Wei was awe-inspiring, but Lu Xingan didn't even blink his eyelids.

Breaking into the dormitory, I saw an old woman in her fifties dressed up, although this woman looked haggard, old and decrepit, but her figure was good, she should be a big beauty when she was young, and it was no wonder that Emperor Wanli loved her so much.

"Your Majesty, are you here?"

The emperor arched slightly and said, "Niangniang, it's me." "In terms of seniority, this is the emperor's grandmother.

Wei Zhongxian stood aside and shouted: "Concubine Zheng, don't bow to the emperor yet!"

Concubine Zheng said leisurely: "Li Jinzhong, you are so majestic now." ”

Wei Zhongxian's face changed, "The old slave is now called Wei Zhongxian." ”

Wei Zhongxian's real name is Li Jinzhong, and he changed his name when he entered the palace in order to appease the Wei Dynasty.

"Wei Zhongxian, hehe, it's a pity that you are both disloyal and unvirtuous. Concubine Zheng Guifei's eyes rolled, "And Wang Tiqian, oh, Lao Lu, are you also here to send the mourning family on the road?"

Lu Xing'an knelt down and saluted, stood up and said, "Since Niangniang knows, let's cut it off on my own, the old slave of the province has defiled you." ”

Concubine Zheng nodded and sighed, "Brother Xiao'er, is this what you mean?"

Before the emperor could speak, Chang Wei stepped forward with the Yongle sword in his hand and shouted: "Bold demon woman! )
