Chapter 13 Miansheng, the new Governor of Dongchang

Dongchang, Xichang, and Jinyiwei, the two factories and one guard, are all the emperor's pro-army. Although they hold posts in the imperial court, they are directly ordered by the emperor and are not under the jurisdiction of any imperial institution.

However, this also has a disadvantage: because it only obeys the emperor's orders, whoever the emperor favors has greater power.

For example, the previous Wan Yulou, because he had served the emperor since he was a child, and he was not weak, so he was favored by the emperor. After the emperor abolished Wei Zhongxian, he directly let him succeed the governor of the East Factory and take charge of the East Factory.

Even though the emperor saw that the East Factory was too powerful and set up the West Factory on purpose to suppress the power of the East Factory, Wan Yulou was still extremely favored by the emperor, and he went to the palace as often as he went back to his own home.

On the contrary, Yuhuatian became the governor of the West Factory only because of the relationship of Concubine Wan Gui, and he was not very familiar with the emperor, and he had never met a few times.

However, in the past six months, as a rule, he had to go to the palace every month to report on his duties, so he was no stranger to the palace.

The little eunuch who refused to come to lead the way, Yu Huatian took the imperial edict and went to the palace alone.

At this time, it was about Chen's time, and it had already passed the early court time. At this time, the emperor usually dealt with government affairs in the Qianqing Palace, so Yuhuatian went straight to the Qianqing Palace.

The Qianqing Palace is located behind the Hall of Supreme Harmony where hundreds of officials go to court. The guards are very strict. There are two imperial guards guarding every section. Along the way, there are many young ladies in colorful clothes walking around the palace.

Yuhuatian walked through the corridor, automatically shielding the surprised and fascinated gazes of the maids along the way and the whispers from around, and soon came to the gate of Qianqing Palace.

In front of the resplendent and resplendent hall, there was already an old eunuch waiting here, about sixty years old, when he saw Yu Huatian approaching, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute, with a respectful expression: "I will see you, Eunuch Yu."

The old eunuch's name was Cao Feng, who was in charge of receiving and dispatching the palace's cases. Yuhuatian also knew him.

Because he found that the old eunuch's strength was not weak, and his level of true energy had reached the level of a master, but it was a bit strange that such a person was still in charge of such a low-level job in the palace.

Maybe it was because the level of martial arts was too low before, and he didn't have much awe of the imperial palace, but since he practiced the Sunflower Book, Yuhuatian's strength and vision are different from before. to the details.

No wonder for so many years, no matter how chaotic the Jianghu is, the Daming Palace has always been as stable as Mount Tai, and is regarded as a forbidden place by the Jianghu people.

Inside the palace, it really is Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon!

Yu Huatian took a deep look at the old eunuch and asked, "I wonder if His Majesty is here?"

Cao Feng respectfully said: "The emperor is dealing with government affairs, Eunuch Yu will wait a moment, and the slaves will report."

Yuhuatian nodded slightly: "I'm sorry."

"Mr. Yu's words are serious."

After Cao Feng finished speaking, he turned around and hurried into Qianqing Palace.

After a while, Cao Feng trotted out again, and said in a low voice, "Eunuch Yu, the emperor wants you to go in."

Yu Huatian nodded, straightened his clothes, and walked inside.

At this time, Cao Feng beside him hesitated for a moment, and suddenly reminded him in a low voice: "Eunuch Yu, Your Majesty seems to be in a bad mood."

Yu Huatian paused, then nodded: "Thank you."

After all, he stepped straight into the hall.

The main hall is extremely empty, and the ground is as clean as a mirror.

Yellow and red are the main colors of the main hall, and the quietly burning palace lanterns and the eunuchs and maids standing in the hall make this lonely space more lively.

Yu Huatian looked up, and the first thing he saw was a large dragon case, which was full of memorials.

Behind the dragon case was a majestic figure wearing a bright yellow embroidered gold dragon robe and a crown on his head. Beside him stood an eunuch wearing a black and red boa robe.

This eunuch was about forty years old, not only did not have the softness of other eunuchs, but his face was rosy, and his bearing was very extraordinary.

Yuhuatian felt it carefully, and found that he couldn't see through the cultivation of the old eunuch, and couldn't help but feel a little shivering.

And what surprised Yuhuatian the most was that he felt a very familiar aura in this old eunuch.

But at this time, there was no time for him to think about it. He just glanced at it slightly, and then he shifted his gaze to the majestic and endless figure behind the dragon case, walked forward slowly, knelt down in front of the dragon case, and cupped his hands Salute: "Slave Yu Huatian, pay homage to Your Majesty!"

Although he is the governor of the West Factory, and the official residence is the third grade, but his status as an eunuch is like this. To put it bluntly, he is the emperor's domestic slave. None of the qualifications.

The hall was silent.

Behind the large dragon case, the figure in the dragon robe didn't even make a single unnecessary movement, and was still carefully flipping through the memorial in his hand, as if he didn't hear Yu Huatian's voice at all.

The old eunuch next to him also kept his eyes on the sidelines, watching coldly.

Yu Huatian looked respectful, also without any unnecessary expressions or movements, just waiting quietly like this.

But no one noticed that his white hands covered under the sleeves were slightly tighter, and an unknown flame was burning in his heart.

This is imperial power!
He is the governor of the West Factory that people can't avoid outside, even if he faces the brave God of Hulong Villa, he can not give face.

But in front of the emperor who ruled Ming Dynasty, he could only kneel obediently, not even daring to show any dissatisfaction.

Because everything he owns now is bestowed by the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, if he dares to show any dissatisfaction at this moment, the old eunuch next to him will immediately abolish him, and the Emperor of Ming Dynasty is absolutely blind Not even a blink.

Because for the emperor, all he wanted was a dog that could do things honestly and obediently.

As for who the dog was, the emperor didn't care.

But one day, he will definitely break this bondage, and no longer let anyone dictate his life and death!
At this moment, Yuhuatian's pursuit of power and strength climbed to an extreme.

I don't know how long ago.

Zhu Youxiao put down the memorial in his hand, as if he noticed a person kneeling in front of him, glanced at Yuhuatian behind the Long case, and said lightly: "Get up."

The tense atmosphere in the hall instantly dissipated.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Yu Huatian saluted again, then stood up, and at the same time looked at the Tianqi Emperor who temporarily ruled his fate.

I saw that Zhu Youxiao looked only in his twenties, but he already had a kind of majesty that belonged only to the emperor, but his brows were vaguely sick and pale that did not belong to this age.

Yuhuatian knew that the Emperor Tianqi had been in poor health since he was a child, and he hadn't stopped taking medicine these years.

But the medicine is three-point poisonous, the Emperor Tianqi can survive until now, I am afraid that he is already a strong outsider, and no one can say how long he can live.

Otherwise, he would not have thought that he was planning to go out to the palace to play and relax in this chaotic time.

Yu Huatian withdrew his gaze, lowered his head, quietly looked at the dragon case in front of him, and waited for the Emperor Tianqi to ask questions.

Zhu Youxiao stared at him for a while, and then said: "You know why I announced you into the palace, right?"

Yuhuatian was silent for a moment, nodded and said, "I know, because of the Dongchang matter."

Zhu Youxiao said lightly: "You should have known about Wan Yulou's death, right?"

Yu Huatian nodded: "Yes."

Zhu Youxiao's eyes instantly became sharp: "Then why didn't you report to the palace earlier?"

Yu Huatian explained: "Because I accidentally learned that the Jianghu assassins who assassinated Eunuch Wan sneaked into the capital secretly after killing Eunuch Wan, and continued to assassinate people in Dongchang. , intending to wipe out all these gangsters before entering the palace to report to His Majesty."

"Then are these gangsters dead now?"

"died!"

Yuhuatian replied.

Zhu Youxiao looked deeply at Yuhuatian and didn't speak, but he didn't doubt the authenticity of the matter.

These things can be found, and he is confident that Yuhuatian will not dare to lie to him.

After a while, Zhu Youxiao said again: "Is it you who secretly planned the civil turmoil in the East Factory?"

Yu Huatian knelt down again in an instant, with a serious face, cupped his hands and said, "I don't dare! If I want to attack Dongchang, I can kill the vice-governor of Dongchang when I killed those Jianghu assassins in Dajue Temple that day." Li Zhong, you will never wait until the internal turmoil in the East Factory before taking action!"

Zhu Youxiao sneered: "Then what you mean is that there was a civil strife in the East Factory. At this moment, the people in charge of the East Factory are all dead, and they are all to blame for it?"

Yu Huatian said in a deep voice: "Li Zhong, the vice-governor of the East Factory, Zhao Jingzhong, the first-rank leader, and Liu Xi, the second-rank leader, all fought for the position of governor, which caused civil strife in the East Factory. Li Zhong was killed by Zhao Jingzhong. Although Liu Xi and Zhao Jingzhong died at the hands of slaves, there was a reason for this."

"When the servants got the news and led people to the East Factory, they had already killed Li Zhong."

"According to the Ming Dynasty's law, murdering a superior is a capital offense!"

"In order to block the news, when the servants rushed to Dongchang, they wanted to kill the servants to silence them. The servants killed them by accident in order to defend themselves."

Zhu Youxiao said coldly: "Then how did you know about the civil strife in Dongchang? Don't tell me it's just a coincidence!"

Yuhuatian was silent for a while, and said: "The servant was ordered to take charge of the West Factory, and part of the rights in the East Factory were taken away. The governor of the East Factory, Wan Yulou, has been displeased with the slaves for a long time, and has already sent someone to leave a secret in the West Factory. In order to protect themselves, the slaves can only send someone to keep an eyeliner in the East Factory, and I also learned about the internal disturbances in the East Factory from the eyeliner."

Zhu Youxiao sneered and said: "Okay! I founded the East and West Second Factory and gave you the right to kill first and then play. I didn't expect that the rights I gave would become a tool for you to fight for power?"

"Yuhuatian, are you convicted?!" Zhu Youxiao yelled.

Yu Huatian did not refute, and calmly cupped his hands: "I am guilty of this slave."

Zhu Youxiao looked at him coldly, and after a long time, he said: "Don't think that my beloved concubine values ​​you, so she can rely on the rights I gave you to do anything wrong. If I can help you to the top, I can also step on you! "

"Don't forget, your rights are given to you by me!"

A trace of coldness flashed in Yu Huatian's eyes, he lowered his head and said, "I understand."

Zhu Youxiao said coldly: "This is the end of the matter, and I will deal with the Dongchang matter."

As he said that, Zhu Youxiao glanced at the old eunuch standing beside him, and ordered: "Cao Zhengchun, you will succeed as the governor of the East Factory temporarily and take charge of the East Factory."

Cao Zhengchun? !

Hearing this, Yu Huatian suddenly raised his head to look at the old eunuch, his pupils shrank violently.

No wonder!
At this moment, he finally knew where the familiar aura he felt just now came from.

If I remember correctly, the martial arts that Cao Zhengchun practiced was the Tiangang boy martial arts!
Cao Zhengchun handed down the incomplete version of Boy Kung Fu practiced by his predecessor?

Cao Zhengchun didn't pay attention to Yuhuatian's expression. Hearing this, he hurried out, stood side by side with Yuhuatian, bowed and saluted, "Old servant leads the order."

At this time, Zhu Youxiao glanced at Yu Huatian, and said lightly: "Cao Zhengchun is the supervisor of the ceremonial supervisor who served the late emperor. He has been retreating in the palace before. The boy's skill practiced by your eunuchs is all taught by Cao Zhengchun. down."

really!

Yuhuatian narrowed his eyes slightly.

Zhu Youxiao continued: "The two of you are each in charge of a department, and you should work together to monitor the world for me and protect the safety of Daming. If this kind of mutual killing happens again, don't blame me for not being sympathetic!"

"The slaves obey the orders!"

Cao Zhengchun and Yuhuatian saluted together.

Immediately, Cao Zhengchun turned his head to look at Yu Huatian, with a gentle expression, cupped his hands and said, "Eunuch Yu, from now on we will serve His Majesty, please take care of Eunuch Yu."

Yu Huatian took a deep look at Cao Zhengchun, and replied: "Eunuch Cao is serious. As a senior, Eunuch Cao should be the younger generation who needs to learn more from Eunuch Cao."

Cao Zhengchun smiled slightly, modestly and politely.

Zhu Youxiao said lightly: "Next month, I will go out for a tour of the palace, and the palace will be handed over to you. I don't want to see any turmoil in the palace when I come back."

The two quickly saluted: "Slave obeys the order!"

At this time, as if thinking of something, Zhu Youxiao asked suddenly: "I heard that the rivers and lakes have not been very peaceful recently, and even many martial arts people from other dynasties have sneaked into the territory of Daming. , do you know why?"

Yuhuatian frowned slightly when he heard the words.

He has been in the capital recently and has not paid much attention to the situation in the Jianghu. He has never heard of this matter.

Where did the emperor learn about this?
Zhu Youxiao glanced at him, and said: "You don't have to think too much, the emperor's uncle Tiedan God has come into the palace today, and the emperor's uncle told me about this."

God of iron gall?

Yuhuatian suddenly realized that although the responsibilities of the Hulong Villa and the Second East and West Factory were similar, compared with the Second East and West Factory, the Hulong Villa did know more about some things in the Jianghu.

Because Shangguan Haitang, the No. [-] secret agent of Xuanzi in Hulong Mountain Villa, was sent out by Zhu Wushi to create a Jianghu force called "The No.

As for the East and West Second Factory, it was mainly responsible for supervising the officials and handling some inconvenient matters for the emperor.

After thinking for a moment, Yu Huatian cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I have not heard of this incident."

Zhu Youxiao nodded, and didn't say anything to blame, but just ordered: "Then send someone to investigate, these Jianghu forces have become more and more rampant recently, I don't want any bad things to happen again, affecting my The mood of going out on a tour of the palace."

"The slaves obey the order."

Yuhuatian arched his hands.

Zhu Youxiao nodded slightly. Compared with the Hulong Villa founded by the first emperor, he still prefers to use the Second East and West Factory.

Without him, only obedient!
After all, Marquis Tiedan is also his uncle in name anyway, so he can't call him around in general matters.

"Okay, let's all go down, finish what you have been told as soon as possible, and Cao Zhengchun, stabilize the situation in the East Factory as soon as possible, and don't give the officials any more excuses to attack you, it will save me a headache."

Zhu Youxiao waved his hand.

"Yes, the slaves retire."

The two saluted again, and then they exited the hall together. After nodding each other, they each played in one direction, turned and left the Qianqing Palace.

There was no expression on Cao Zhengchun's face, he kept smiling, very warm and polite.

After Yu Huatian turned around, his face darkened instantly.

He had just eradicated all the threats that would prevent him from secretly controlling Dongchang, but unexpectedly, another Cao Zhengchun appeared!

As expected of an emperor, this skill of balance is really good!

...

 This chapter may be a little depressing, but it mainly reflects the change of the protagonist's mentality.

  To the outside world, he is the governor of Xichang, who is under one person and above ten thousand people. He is not afraid of even the god of iron courage, but there is always a person above his head who can control his life and death.

  With the current strength of the protagonist, it is not enough to break this status quo, even if there is any dissatisfaction, he can only endure it.

  The first volume: The Factory Superintendent of the Ming Dynasty, mainly describes the growth process of the protagonist from one person under one man to over ten thousand people to the uncrowned king of the Ming Dynasty.
