The Imperial Palace, inside Qingning Palace.

Empress Dowager Zhang is receiving her confidant eunuch Zhang Yong, the imperial eunuch of the Ming Dynasty.

When Zhang Yong saw Queen Mother Zhang this time, he knelt down and couldn't stand up, which made Queen Mother Zhang very puzzled. After careful questioning, he found out that Zhang Yong came to say goodbye.

"...Empress Dowager, the servant girl has been ordered to live idle now, and from now on she will no longer be able to enter the palace to honor you, nor will she be able to come to pay your respects in the future."

Zhang Yonglao burst into tears.

Empress Dowager Zhang frowned and asked: "You have made great contributions in supporting the new emperor, why did you end up like this?"

Zhang Yongdao: "It's because of the imperial censor Xiao Huai's tribute to the late emperor, there were unlawful servants in the palace, which implicated the servants, and the servants were willing to take the blame... It's not that they have any resentment, but they just came to say goodbye to the empress dowager."

Zhang Yong was implicated in the case of Qiu Ju and Gu Dayong.

"History of the Ming Dynasty" records: "... Shizongli, Yushi Xiaohuai played Gu Dayong, Qiu gathered his generation to confuse the first emperor, the party was evil and traitorous, and he was forever. Zhaoyong lived idle."

Empress Dowager Zhang was slightly relieved, and nodded slightly: "You are the admiral of the regiment camp, and you are a key position in the capital. It is reasonable to be criticized by others. As long as you wholeheartedly protect Daming, the new emperor will definitely use you again in the future."

The underlying meaning of these words is that your deprivation of office was done by the civil society. Aijia can’t help you, and you don’t have to cry anymore. No matter whether you really have no grudges or fake feelings, Aijia can’t do anything.

"Yes."

Zhang Yong wiped away tears.

Empress Dowager Zhang said: "Then from now on, who will take on the post of imperial eunuch, and the eunuch of the admiral regiment?"

That's the point.

Although Zhang Yong used to be an imperial eunuch, but he also led the errands of the admiral's battalion, and he had a high prestige in the army. One reason is that Zhang Yong was responsible for King Anhua's rebellion, the suppression of Liu Liu and Liu Qi's rebellion, and the victory of Yingzhou. Even during the Rebellion of King Ning, Zhang Yong was mentioned in Wang Shouren's second memorabilia, and Zhang Yong was also in charge of Jiangxi's aftermath.

Zhang Yong's prestige is second to none among the eunuchs. After Zhu Si succeeded to the throne, he has always respected him. I wanted to, so I pushed the boat along the way.

Zhang Yongdao: "I heard that a palace man named Huang Mingjin from Naixing Mansion took over the servant's job."

"Oh."

Empress Dowager Zhang nodded, she had never heard of Huang Jin's name at all.

Zhang Zuo is not the only eunuch in the Xingwang Mansion's entrusting department. Headed by Zhang Zuo, there are Huang Jin, Bao Zhong, Cui Jing, Mai Fu and others who came to the capital together, but not everyone can entrust them with important tasks at present. After all, one radish and one hole, if you want to place the eunuchs of King Xing's Mansion in key positions in the palace, you have to gradually push down those powerful eunuchs.

However, these big eunuchs who hold important positions hold a lot of power, have huge influence in the court, and are protected by Queen Mother Zhang, Yang Tinghe and others, so they need to be disintegrated step by step. It cannot be said that they will be replaced by Xing Wangfu himself people.

This time Zhang Yong was dismissed and replaced, which belonged to the civil official group to liquidate the prostitutes around the former emperor. As one of the "eight tigers", Zhang Yong could not escape his ties, and his resignation was a reasonable thing.

Zhu Si has always followed Zhu Hao's instructions, using less "insiders" and more veterans from Hongzhi and the early years of Zhengde, so that he can convince the public. At the same time, he also showed the outside world that too many virtuous people in Zhengde were delayed by the late emperor's nonsense. Now, it's time for them to come out again. From the court to the palace people, the coming out of these old people will give the world a feeling that the new emperor has brought order out of chaos.

In this way, the world will help Zhu Si deny the Zhengde dynasty and affirm the actions of the new emperor.

Empress Dowager Zhang said: "Your Majesty still pays too much attention to closeness and closeness when employing people. This is not good... I heard that the eunuch who is in charge of the chief of ceremonies is also from Xingwang's residence."

Empress Dowager Zhang expressed strong dissatisfaction with this.

How many days have you, Zhu Si, been emperor?

First let Yuan Zonggao, who had no experience in the Imperial Academy, enter the cabinet, and then promoted Zhang Zuo to be the eunuch in charge of the chief of ceremonies, and now even the eunuchs of the imperial supervisor and the admiral's battalion are replaced by yours, obviously because you want to win over power.

Zhang Yong hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I heard that His Majesty has reactivated Xiao Jing, Eunuch Xiao, and that Eunuch Xiao has been in the palace for two days. I heard that Wei Bin, the eunuch of Bingbi, should be replaced, and the eunuch of Bingbi should be the supervisor of Dongchang. Your Majesty is very concerned about the palace Ask more about affairs... There will be no lack of etiquette..."

Empress Dowager Zhang's face looked much better when she heard the words, she smiled and said: "Is Ke Gong coming back? Speaking of which, I haven't seen him for a while, I wonder if he is in good health now?"

Xiao Jing is now eighty-three years old. He is a veteran of the Six Dynasties who has experienced six emperors including Yingzong, Daizong, Xianzong, Xiaozong, Wuzong and the current Emperor Jiajing. It can be said that his status in the palace is stable, and he can often see the mature and prudent Xiao Jing.

Now that she heard that Xiao Jing was coming back, she was relieved, and Empress Dowager Zhang suddenly felt that her new son was doing well.

Zhang Yong used his actual words and deeds to show that he had no resentment in his heart, and tried his best to speak for the new emperor, so as to calm the relationship between mother and child, and comforted him: "Eunuch Xiao is in good health, and with him sitting in the palace, people will definitely be attached."

Empress Dowager Zhang nodded: "Yes, Your Majesty should appoint more veterans. They are rich in experience, well-connected in the court, and are more familiar with the sacrifices in the palace and the rules inside and outside the court. It is better than letting some people who don't know where come from." It is better for all countries to have a good chance.”

"Yes."

Zhang Yong replied with a smile.

Only then did Queen Mother Zhang nodded to Zhang Yong with satisfaction, "If His Majesty comes to greet you again in the future, Aijia will tell him more about your past achievements, and you should go home to rest and recuperate. You have been exhausted in the past few years, right?" ?”

"Yes, thank you, Empress Dowager."

Zhang Yong wanted to impress Queen Mother Zhang with warmth, but found it ineffective.

Instead, after she spoke for the new emperor, Queen Mother Zhang felt that he was very sensible and offered to help him speak well in front of the new emperor. Zhang Yong was naturally grateful.

……

……

A series of personnel appointments and dismissals were carried out in the palace.

Before, Zhu Si’s main focus was on the court, not that he didn’t want to change the eunuchs in the palace. After all, these eunuchs were related to his personal safety. Call a trembling.

According to Zhu Hao, don't rush to startle the snake.

Need to wait for a chance.

The opportunity is to mobilize the civil official group. The censor can't stay idle. The emperor is now capable, so he can go to impeach the eunuch who is in power in the palace. After all, he can bite a few big fish.

Eunuchs are greedy for power and love money, and no one can stand the investigation. Zhu Si made the best use of the situation and followed the "public opinion", divided these eunuchs into three or six grades and convicted them, and gradually replaced the palace with his own people or old people who were suppressed in the previous dynasty .

The changes in the palace gave Yang Tinghe a headache.

On the one hand, Yang Tinghe hoped to replace some eunuchs with authority, but he was also afraid that too many eunuchs would be replaced at once, which would affect the stability of the court. He would also allow the little emperor to gradually control power, and then free up his hands to attack the civil servants, so he was very entangled in this matter .

Otherwise, in his capacity as the leader of the civil official group, he ordered the censor to not take the fault of those big eunuchs into impeachment. It is estimated that Gu Dayong, Qiu Ju, Wei Bin and even Zhang Yong would not be so quick was pulled off the horse.

But after Zhu Si hired Xiao Jing and other old eunuchs, Yang Tinghe felt a little relieved.

This shows that Zhu Si is not nepotism, and in addition, he appointed some veteran officials in the imperial court, such as Sun Jiao, Fei Hong and Xie Qian, which can be regarded as a combination of words and deeds, at least it did not make Yang Tinghe feel that the new emperor is unbearable in terms of employing people .

"Father, after the Ministry of Rites played, His Majesty has issued a decree to order Princess Xing to go to the capital in the near future. If Princess Xing arrives in Beijing, how can His Majesty be willing to let her live outside the palace forever? Then there will be a dispute over status, what should I do? ?”

When Yang Tinghe came home that day, his mind was full of court affairs, and his thoughts were chaotic. At this time, Yang Shen appeared in front of him without knowing it.

Yang Tinghe said impatiently: "Let's talk about it after Princess Xing arrives in Beijing."

Yang Shendao: "Why did my father change his attitude? Wouldn't it be inhumane and unrighteous for all the new academics who jointly played together?"

It seems that Yang Shen can't understand his father's behavior. On the matter of the ceremony, Yang Shen may be more extreme than Yang Tinghe, because Yang Shen is young and energetic, and his status in the court is not high, so he only accepts death, unlike Yang Tinghe. Those who preside over the overall situation need to turn around.

This is also the reason why Yang Shen's end was much worse than his father's. Although he was highly educated, his political stance was dead, almost to the point of ignorance of current affairs.

He was the initiator of the Zuo Shunmen incident, who would the emperor turn to if he didn't ask him for the crime?

Yang Tinghe took a long breath: "Being a father is all about the overall situation. Confucianism values ​​benevolence and filial piety. You can't criticize your majesty too much. If you wholeheartedly serve your biological mother, you can become a model of benevolence and righteousness in the world. You must learn from others in everything."

Yang Shen was unwilling, but after being taught by his father so earnestly, he could only bow his head and listen to the teaching.

Yang Tinghe said: "As for those new scholars, it is the duty of a courtier to speak out. If His Majesty can't tolerate them because of this, how can His Majesty call himself a benevolent monarch? Since ancient times, those who have understood the emperor should not judge scholars by likes and dislikes. Oh, that's right, that Zhu Hao ..."

Yang Shen said: "I also want to mention Zhu Hao to my father, I think this son may be of great use."

"Oh!?"

Yang Tinghe was full of doubts, and frowned, "Didn't you say that he didn't know how to advance and retreat, like a grass on the wall? Why did you change your opinion of him in the past few days? It's because he obeyed you and took the lead in co-signing?"

Yang Shen shook his head: "Returning to my father, that's not the case. The child just puts himself in his place and thinks about the problem from his perspective... As a new champion from the land of Anlu, he must be paid attention to by His Majesty. It is not at fault for him to be wise and protect himself, and he is not biased in matters of right and wrong. , is for children to appreciate."

"is it?"

Yang Tinghe frowned.

In the past, he would never have accepted Zhu Hao, who was trying to survive in a tight spot, but now he must not seriously consider it.

Yang Shendao: "My son entered the Hanlin Academy back then, and his mentality is very similar. He has striven to be neutral until now, which is really commendable. Or father, you said that he came from the Zhu family of Jinyiwei, and it is impossible for him to seek refuge with the new emperor. Why is it not enough?" Use his identity for your own use?"

Yang Shen turned around and educated his father, it was you who said that Zhu Hao was a son of the Zhu family who was used by the court to monitor Xing Wangfu, especially the Zhu family was also involved in the murder of the new emperor's brother, now you don't believe him, what kind of reason?

Yang Tinghe nodded.

With his scheming, he naturally wondered if Zhu Hao did this with ulterior motives. Maybe Zhu Hao wanted to play the empathy card with Yang Shen from the beginning?
