Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 17 Power reshuffle!How can the emperor act alone?
It rained continuously for several days, the dark clouds were dispersed by the rising sun, the Forbidden City was bathed in golden light, the breeze was blowing, and countless banners moved with the wind.

Qianqing Palace, Dongnuan Pavilion.

"Jin Yiwei was ordered to enter the palace this time, and the errands were done well."

Zhu Youxiao sat cross-legged on the Arhat bed and peeled the eggs in his hands. His expression showed no joy or sorrow. "Those gangsters who cling to the power eunuchs have all been arrested. Luo Qing, how should I reward the Jin Yiwei?"

"It's my duty to share the worries for His Majesty!"

Luo Sigong, who stood bowed, hurriedly saluted.

During the period when Jin Yiwei was stationed in the Forbidden City under the imperial edict, Luo Sigong's spirit was extremely tense, for fear that any mistake would be made, and that would be a crime.

Especially the arrest of the so-called party members, Luo Sigong knew some things, and his awe for the emperor grew stronger in his heart.

"If you have meritorious service, you must be rewarded. I have never been stingy with rewards."

Zhu Youxiao glanced at Luo Sigong and said, "Stop standing and come and have dinner with me. I heard from Wei Zhongxian and others that Luo Qing hasn't eaten much in the past few days? This won't work. He should be running errands and eating. If his body collapses, Now, how can we run our errands well?"

"I thank you for your grace."

Luo Sigong hurriedly bowed his head in response, and then walked towards Yuqian.

"Eat."

Luo Sigong's half buttocks just sat on Luohan's bed, and when he was nervous, Zhu Youxiao handed over the peeled eggs, which made Luo Sigong get up immediately.

"The big rules will be waived."

"The minister obeys the order."

Glancing at the fearful Luo Sigong, Zhu Youxiao showed a smile at the corner of his mouth. He is obviously an old fox who is good at making money, but he wants to show this side.

None of these people who were active in the late Ming Dynasty was simple.

Wanting to continue Ming Zuo is far more difficult than imagined.

"After Luo Qing returned to the Yamen, he drafted a memorial and handed it to the emperor." Zhu Youxiao picked up an egg and peeled it slowly, "I will reward you as appropriate after I read it."

"The minister leads the order."

Luo Sigong, who was holding the egg, hurriedly stood up and saluted.

"Sit down and eat."

Zhu Youxiao said with a calm expression, then put the peeled eggs into his mouth and chewed them slowly, hoping to drive his subordinates to do their jobs with all their heart. The right way is to use both kindness and power.

In Zhu Youxiao's eyes, Jinyiwei is a sharp knife and one of the tools to deter foreign courts.

If you want your horse to run, you have to feed the grass frequently.

Currently, Zhu Youxiao needs someone who can raise the banner of Jinyiwei first, and Luo Sigong is undoubtedly the best candidate. As for checks and balances and transformation, he can just figure it out slowly in the future.

Zhu Youxiao ate very slowly, and Luo Sigong felt like sitting on pins and needles, afraid of losing his appearance in front of the imperial court, so when he left Dongnuan Pavilion, his whole body was sore and his back was drenched with sweat.

"Slaves wait to pay respects to the emperor!"

Not long after Luo Sigong left, many people entered Dongnuan Pavilion, the leader was Wei Zhongxian, who knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Zhu Youxiao.

"The inner court leaked like a sieve in the past. Anyone can know what happened in the inner court."

Zhu Youxiao leaned on the cushion, looked down at the group of eunuchs in front of him, and said indifferently: "I don't want to talk about the past, and if similar phenomena occur in the future, Wei Zhongxian, how do you deal with it?"

Saying that, Zhu Youxiao's eyes were fixed on Wei Zhongxian.

"Everything that slaves and servants waited for was bestowed by the emperor."

With a tight heart, Wei Zhongxian hurriedly kowtowed and said: "Whoever dares to betray the emperor and do such disobedient things will be cut into pieces!"

The eunuch Wang Tiqian, the eunuch Li Yongzhen, the eunuch Liu Ruoyu of the Qianqing Palace, and the other party were kneeling on the ground without daring to breathe.

They are not only the experiencers, but also the witnesses of what happened in the past few days. The awe of the new king has long been deeply buried in their hearts.

The former eunuch Wang An, who had such a high status in the inner court before, not only served the emperor, but also admiral Dongji Incident Factory, but so what?

Disgusted by the emperor, if he said that he would kill the Meridian Gate with a stick, he would kill the Meridian Gate with a stick!
"Speak not only with your mouth, but also engraved in your heart."

Zhu Youxiao pondered for a moment, lifted up the sleeves of his robe, and looked at Wei Zhongxian and the others, "The heart must always be in the right position. Since I can give you anything, I can take it back. Of course, as long as I do my best, I will never be stingy. What, do you understand everything?"

"Slaves wait to understand."

Wei Zhongxian and his party hurriedly kowtowed in response.

Zhu Youxiao, the team of eunuchs in the inner court, has been replaced all over the place. All the important government offices in power have been replaced with newcomers. Except for the Supervisor of Ceremony and the Supervisor of Horses, all the Supervisors of Shangshan have been replaced. So what about the emperor, he also needs to eat and drink Lazard, how can Zhu Youxiao leave hidden dangers for imported things.

"Now that the inner court is stable, you all go to work."

Zhu Youxiao closed his eyes and rested his mind and said: "All eunuchs, eunuchs, female officials, maids, etc. who are in the palace must be re-registered. This matter is supervised by the Secretary of Ceremony and co-organized by the supervisors, departments and bureaus of the inner court."

"Slaves and servants will obey the order."

Wei Zhongxian and his party hurriedly kowtowed in response.

There is nothing trivial in the inner court.

If you want to avoid bad things, you must be absolutely rigorous. Zhu Youxiao doesn't want the slightest omission to cause bad things to happen.

The Forbidden City not only represents the imperial power, but also a political symbol of Ming Zuo's stability. Any disturbance in the Forbidden City will inevitably affect the ruling and opposition parties.

"My lord, what do you want to do?"

In Bingke Zhifang, Zuo Guangdou walked back and forth, frowning and said: "It's been a few days, and the palace ban has not been lifted yet. It's the time of national mourning, how can the emperor insist on going his own way? There are a lot of discussions in the court. People's hearts are fluctuating, why does the emperor believe in slander..."

"It's useless to say that right now."

Zhang Wenda looked serious and said in a deep voice: "Wang An, the eunuch who was responsible for the ceremony, was killed with a stick at the Meridian Gate. The guards in golden clothes entered the palace according to the imperial edict. Honorable men like Uncle Hui'an also entered the palace. We have no idea what is going on in the inner court right now. Why? For now, we can only wait until the palace ban is lifted and the princes come out from the inner court before speaking."

The operation to clean up the inner court was launched, and there was an uproar in the outer court, especially Zhu Youxiao's decree to enforce the palace ban, ordering Fang Congzhe and other cabinet ministers, Jingqing and courtiers to stay in the Wenhua Palace, which made all the factions in the court very nervous. Know what the emperor is going to do.

The Donglin Party, the Qi Chuzhe Party and other factions had extremely active private contacts. After all, such a major event occurred in the inner court. If any accident happened, it would be too heavy a blow to the Daming Society.

However, in Zhu Youxiao's view, the complete blockade of the Forbidden City may cause some confusion, but it will not cause major disturbances.

The Ming Dynasty during the Tianqi Dynasty may have faced many difficulties, but it is not like the Ming Dynasty during the Chongzhen Dynasty. Internal and external troubles have reached the verge of collapse.

Zhu Youxiao must resolutely get rid of any factors that affect the control of the inner court. Even the inner court can't control it. It's like meddling in the court, interfering in party disputes, and setting foot in local areas. That is purely ridiculous behavior.

"Zhang Zongxian is right."

Yang Lian, who had been silent all this time, said at this moment: "It's useless to say these things now. The emperor was deceived by slander, and he had to wait until the palace ban was lifted if he wanted to give advice. Right now, people in the capital are fluctuating. It's the time of national mourning. You have to stabilize the situation."

"But when will the palace ban be lifted?"

Zuo Guangdou spread his hands and said.

"almost."

Yang Lian narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "Jin Yiwei has left the palace in batches, which means that the chaos in the inner court has stabilized, and the palace ban will be lifted soon."

Zhang Wenda and Zuo Guangdou looked at each other with different expressions. The calmness shown by Yang Lian this time also let the two of them know that he must have something up his sleeve.
