Chapter 848
The eunuch Qin came out of the back hall where Empress Fang lived, and visited Emperor Jiajing again in the front hall.

Emperor Jiajing still had his eyes closed tightly, lying on the couch with his head up.There was an inexplicable smell in the surrounding area, even if the incense was lit, it could not be completely covered up.

Now there are four main people who have been guarding the Emperor Jiajing for a long time. The eunuch is the emperor's companion Huang Jin, the two royal guards are Lu Bing and Xu Miaojing, and there is Tao Zhenren, the national teacher who is in charge of praying for blessings.

Others are okay, they know what they are doing and why they are doing it.

Only Xu Miaojing couldn't quite understand why both her brother-in-law and the eunuch Qin put him here to guard the half-dead emperor.

He is neither the eldest companion who accompanied the emperor since he was a child, nor the emperor's baby brother, nor the emperor's spiritual mentor, and he seems to have no affection for staying here.

Xu Miaojing just vaguely guessed whether her brother-in-law regarded him as a backup insurance.

Of course, Xu Miaojing was also very happy. Although he was led astray by Qin Dewei, he was not a person who liked fighting for power and profit by nature.

Compared with the intrigue and intrigue outside, there is actually a bit of peace and tranquility around Emperor Jiajing now.

Xu Miaojing stays here, sometimes he feels like a hermit hiding in the court, he likes this feeling very much.

Anyway, there is a brother-in-law working hard in the court outside, so just lie down by yourself.

When the Qin eunuch came to visit Emperor Jiajing again, Xu Miaojing was still a little surprised.

Just now, eunuch Qin came here once before meeting the queen, but he didn't expect to come again after seeing the queen.

But Xu Miaojing didn't think too much about it, these big men had too complicated thoughts, it was useless for him to think about it or not, anyway, he just wanted to accompany them.

Before the dragon collapsed, the eunuch Qin stood silently.

Originally, everything was going well, as long as we continued to accumulate strength, we could go on steadily and step by step.

Wait a few more years, Zhang Zuo will be old or gone, and he will be able to compete for the seal of the Supervisor of Ceremonies.

But something like this happened to the emperor, which disrupted the rhythm all of a sudden.

For me, even if the emperor died, it would be better than living like this.

If the emperor died, it would be clear to change to another object of allegiance, but what is going on now?

At the first moment after hearing the news, he also had the opportunity to kill and kill the emperor decisively, but another person surnamed Qin couldn't do it due to various considerations.

This made my father miserable. Originally, he, the eunuch Qin, didn't like to take risks. What he liked was to achieve the goal step by step after careful layout.

But now that the situation has developed to this point, we have to "quick for quick success" once.

Before leaving, Eunuch Qin said to Xu Miaojing: "If something happens to me, you must tell Qin Dewei, don't try to save me, and you won't implicate him."

Xu Miaojing was very baffled, she had never seen eunuch Qin so confused.

You are all involved in politics, why do you think that brother-in-law would have the idea of ​​taking risks to save you?

It is said that the Qin eunuch has behaved abnormally since he lost the support of the emperor. Is it true?

When Eunuch Qin walked out of the hall again, there was already a younger eunuch waiting on the steps.

This person is none other than Chen Hong, the trusted eunuch sent by Queen Fang to handle the case together with Eunuch Qin.

Chen Hong has always been working on Empress Fang's side. Compared with those eunuchs in charge of writing, or the eunuchs in charge of Qianqing Palace, he can be called "low-key". Not as good.

But if you ask Chen Hong how he feels recently, it is that his own outlet has finally come.

At present, the emperor is neither dead nor alive, and Empress Fang has snatched the power to take care of palace affairs from the Empress Dowager Zhang.

Compared with Empress Dowager Zhang, who has the title of regent and has no influence on the government, Empress Fang, who is in charge of palace affairs, has gained some real power in the inner palace.

Then, as Queen Fang's confidant, and also made great contributions to prove his own eunuch, Chen Hong's status in the palace is of course rising.

And not only is the present good, but the future is likely to be bright as well.

If the emperor dies, Empress Fang will become Empress Dowager Fang, a justifiable regent, her status will only be higher, and she will become the most prestigious woman, there is no one.

Even if the emperor woke up, the empress would still be an empress, and nothing would be lost, let alone the empress had the power to save him.

Chen Hong secretly thought that many people must have seen this clearly, so they chose to bet on Queen Fang at the moment.

For example, the once invincible Dongchang Qin eunuch, didn't he also come to Wanchun Palace today, and was submissive in front of Queen Fang?

Eunuch Qin looked up at the sky, and then said to Chen Hong: "It's already late today, go to Dongchang tomorrow morning, and discuss big plans together!"

Chen Hong replied: "I often have to serve in the Wanchun Palace, and it is inconvenient to leave for a long time. Master Qin might as well come to the Wanchun Palace. If there is any result, I can report it to the empress."

Eunuch Qin frowned slightly. Chen Hong seemed to be a little careless, or did he do it on purpose?
But he didn't express anything, he just said calmly: "My mother's will is for you to assist me."

Only then did Chen Hong agree: "Then tomorrow morning, I will go to Dongchang to meet Lord Qin."

Eunuch Qin glanced at Chen Hong again, his heart turned a few times, and he didn't know what to think about, but he didn't say anything else, and left.

I don't know whether Chen Hong said just now that he asked himself to come to Wanchun Palace to find him tomorrow, whether it was a deliberate temptation or an unintentional move.

But no matter what, it is unacceptable. Eunuch Qin has never been too big-minded.

On the next day, Chen Hong arrived as scheduled in the early morning and came to the Dongchang government office outside Dong'anmen.After reporting his identity and purpose of coming, he was ushered into a side hall.

Walking all the way in, Chen Hong looked at the strict bureau of the Dongchang government office and the wolf-like guards on duty, suddenly he felt envious, and couldn't help but feel a little "a man should be like this".

In name, the admiral of Dongchang was the second person in the eunuch system, and he was often the eunuch most trusted by the emperor, which shows the weight of Dongchang.

Although the imperial power has declined during this period, and the status of Dongchang has also declined sharply, the imperial power cannot decline forever.

As long as the imperial power in the palace is revived, Dongchang will still be a powerful minion tool to deter courtiers.

In the past, Chen Hong would not have dared to think about the location of the East Factory, but now he feels that he is entitled to think about it.

If Empress Fang really became Empress Dowager Fang, and the new emperor was just a child, then he, Empress Dowager Fang's trusted eunuch, should be the best candidate to admiral Dongchang.

I don't know how long he waited, but Chen Hong didn't wait for the eunuch Qin to meet and discuss alone, but he heard the order to be promoted.

Then Chen Hong was led to the lobby again, and under the statue of Guan Gong, which symbolizes unparalleled loyalty and righteousness, the eunuch Qin supported the case with both hands, dignified and majestic.

And below are a pile of stalls and books, as well as the Jinyiwei official school, holding their breath and standing with their hands down.

Then I heard Eunuch Qin yelling at his subordinates: "In the past few days, our factory guards seem to be looked down upon a lot by others, I think you all feel it.

Now we have to prove to the world again that Dongchang is still Dongchang! "

The eunuch Qin's words made all the subordinates feel the same, and they said in unison: "I respectfully ask the factory master to order!"

The eunuch Qin said loudly again: "Ms. Fang, who is in charge of the palace affairs, ordered us to attack the case at the Ciqing Palace, and you all listen to my orders!
I heard that when a group of people went to the Ciqing Palace to make trouble, those who smashed it escaped from the palace.

These few people are the biggest culprits, and the first thing in handling the case is to track down the whereabouts of these people! "

A guard in Jinyi said in embarrassment: "It's been a long time since we delayed our investigation. I'm afraid it will be difficult to track down the whereabouts."

The eunuch Qin said unmoved: "So it's time to test the ability of the factory guards to handle affairs. As the saying goes, you can raise soldiers for a thousand days and use them for a while!
The factory guards have been deployed in the capital for so many years. Last year, Tiqi was added, and they immediately mobilized with all their strength, digging three feet to find someone!
If you can't find it in the capital, expand it to the surrounding area, and if it doesn't work, spread it to the neighboring provinces! "

The heads of the stalls and the guards in Jinyi looked at each other in blank dismay. It is already very difficult to find someone in the capital, and you want to expand to the surrounding areas or even neighboring provinces?

How is that different from finding a needle in a haystack?Do things always pay attention to the probability of success, right?

Eunuch Qin said again: "Dongchang is offering a reward of 10,000 taels to find someone, and spread the news! I believe that with the reward, people will be tempted!"

Everyone was shocked at first, is it worth paying 10,000 taels to find these people?This is equivalent to the income of an ordinary person in the capital for hundreds of years to 1000 years!
Immediately, everyone realized that after such a shocking news spread, someone might really be attracted by someone inside, and the probability of finding someone would increase greatly.

Even if he fled to another province, after the news of the 10,000 taels reward spread, maybe some clues would come out.

If this is the case, Qin Gong is not completely out of his mind to find a needle in a haystack, but the price is a bit high.

Chen Hong looked dazzled at first, and once again had the idea of ​​"a man should be like this".

With a call from the hall, Bainuo from the hall, with a wave of your hand, you can dig the capital three feet into the ground, and a reward of 10,000 taels is offered to throw it away.

Such a style, such power, how can it not make people's hearts move.

But then Chen Hong gave a jolt and woke up from his intoxication. He came with a mission. Eunuch Qin was wrong to do this!
In desperation, Chen Hong raised his hand and shouted: "Wait! Slow!"

Eunuch Qin looked at Chen Hong pretending to be puzzled, and asked, "What do you have to say?"

Chen Hong hurriedly replied: "Master Qin is only doing this to handle the case, why should he make such a big fuss?
Those who caused trouble at the old lady's place in Ciqing Palace that day, except for a few who escaped from the palace, the rest are still in the palace.

If it's just to handle the case, it's enough to find those who are still in the palace, why bother to make troubles in the capital and even the surrounding areas, making life difficult inside and out? "

What Chen Hong meant was that you eunuch Qin handled the case only to show your presence in the palace and to re-establish your prestige.

Queen Fang handled the case because she wanted to "conclusively conclude" the matter, and hit Zhang Zuo by the way.

So it's not to seek any "truth", but to handle the case for the sake of handling the case, why do you, eunuch Qin, have to be so serious!
I know that the people who smashed with sticks at that time were arranged by Chen Hong, in order to destroy the face of Empress Dowager Zhang.

Then let these people escape the palace and hide among the people according to the pre-plan.

If you try your best to track down these people, if you really find any clues and implicate yourself, wouldn't it be your own fault?
Moreover, those who participated in the disturbance and stayed in the palace were able to find clues to Zhang Zuo, the chief inspector of ceremonies.

Therefore, tracing in the palace is the correct direction of investigation. If the investigation is carried out with great fanfare outside the palace, even if it is found, it is still "one of my own people". What impact will it have on Zhang Zuoneng?
Mrs. Qin overheard Chen Hong's words, and responded, "There were a group of people who made trouble at that time, but those who smashed it were the repeat offenders, and it's impossible to justify it if they don't investigate."

Chen Hong didn't know whether the Qin eunuch was really stupid or fake. It was rumored that this Qin eunuch was very shrewd and capable, but today it seemed that the name was not worthy of the name?

Such a person can be the admiral of the East Factory, so can Chen Hong, and he can do even better!

Chen Hong slandered, while persuading the eunuch Qin: "Investigating in the palace can get twice the result with half the effort, mobilizing teachers and mobilizing people outside the palace can only be a waste of money and people, there is absolutely no need for it."

Eunuch Qin said displeasedly: "Your Majesty just asked you to assist me in handling the case. What is assistance? You can make suggestions, but you are not in charge. This is Dongchang!"

When eunuch Qin rebuked him, Chen Hong was also a little angry, "I'm not trying to command Master Qin, but to suggest the correct way to do it. Please listen to Master Qin."

Eunuch Qin asked back, "Is what you said correct?"

"It must be correct!" Chen Hong replied very positively, "Only by doing what I do, can the empress be satisfied!"

Eunuch Qin said coldly, "Are you teaching me how to do things?"

Chen Hong was choked up immediately. Does the eunuch Qin have a plan?Has he figured out what's going on?

Now he, Chen Hongcai, is the trusted eunuch beside Queen Fang, who represents Queen Fang!

And although you, eunuch Qin, are the admiral of the East Factory with a high status, with Empress Fang, you are a newcomer here!
Is this how a newcomer who is not on his feet talks to an old man?Do you still want to gain Queen Fang's trust?

Thinking of Empress Fang, Chen Hong stopped wasting his saliva with the eunuch Qin in Dongchang, and said goodbye, "I will report today's situation to the empress truthfully."

Eunuch Qin waved his sleeves, "Let's go, I won't see you off!"

This attitude made Chen Hong's teeth itch again. You Qin eunuch thought it was the time when Dongchang's power was at its peak?

If the emperor is unconscious, you will lose power, you know that?

And now everyone is theoretically working for Queen Fang, barely counting as one of their own!
Is your eunuch Qin sick? You dare not show your teeth to outsiders, but you only know how to put on airs with your own people!

Immediately Chen Hong left Dongchang, returned to Wanchun Palace in Renshou Palace in Xiyuan, and reported everything he had seen and heard about Dongchang to Empress Fang.

Empress Fang was also puzzled. There were many rumors about eunuch Qin, but no one said he was stupid. What on earth did he want to do?
