My Ming Dynasty, I have the final say

Chapter 5 Cleaning
After a day of busy work related to the enthronement, the courtiers had already left the palace.

Now, it's time to address the internal issues.

As if to set off the emperor's mood at this time, the sky, which was still clear in the afternoon, was now overcast.

With the crackling thunder, Emperor Apocalypse casually flipped through the memorials in his hands while sitting on a chair at the entrance of the main hall, looking at the group of eunuchs, chief eunuchs, palace maids, and royal guards kneeling below.

Finally, when a group of old eunuchs in their seventies and eighties could no longer hold on, Zhu Youxiao finally spoke.

"Luo Sigong."

"The minister is here."

Hearing this, Luo Sigong, the commander of the Jinyiwei who had already numbed his knees, quickly responded.

"Where were you on the night the late emperor died?"

Throwing the memorial in his hand on the table, Zhu Youxiao looked at Luo Sigong with a gloomy face and asked.

"Back to Your Majesty, I... I was at home that night and didn't leave the house all night."

Hearing this, Luo Sigong quickly replied.

"At home? Good at home."

Hearing this, Zhu Youxiao snorted coldly.

"The Jin Yiwei are the emperor's personal soldiers. The late emperor is seriously ill. As the commander of the Jin Yiwei, you did not guard the imperial city and serve the emperor, but went home to sleep?"

"The minister is guilty."

Hearing this, Luo Sigong quickly knelt down on one knee to plead guilty.

New officials take up their posts with three things in mind, and this emperor is no different.

Obviously, now that the emperor's first fire is on his own head, it is better to shrink his neck at this time.

Zhu Youxiao was quite dissatisfied with Luo Sigong, the commander of the Imperial Guard.

This guy can't be said to be loyal, at least he's a fence-sitter, a typical wallflower.

However, the Luo family is regarded as their own retainers. The ancestor Luo Sheng presented the king to Huguang. When Jiajing entered the pass, Luo Sheng's son Luo An served from the dragon and took over the Jinyiwei. He has been in power in the Jinyiwei for generations. He cannot be dealt with like The treatment of Wang An, a domestic slave, was as simple and brutal as killing him, and then covering him up with the emperor as a fig leaf.

Tapping on the table with one hand, Zhu Youxiao asked aloud.

"I heard that when Master Wanli conquered North Korea, you were ordered to collect intelligence in North Korea and serve as the eyes and ears of the army?"

"Back to the emperor, this is the case."

Some people didn't understand the emperor's thinking logic, but Luo Sigong still answered honestly.

"I once obtained the marching route map of the Japanese slaves in North Korea, and also burned the Japanese slaves' food and grass."

"Yes, he is quite capable."

Hearing this, Zhu Youxiao nodded and affirmed his ability.

Many people's image of Jinyiwei is mostly that of a spy organization, and they think it is an organization that works with Dongchang to deal with their own people.

However, the essence of the Jinyiwei was ignored. When the pro-military Duweifu and Yiluan Division were reorganized into the Jinyiwei, the foundation for this to be an intelligence spying organization had already been laid.

Burying nails and setting up secret sentinels are what Jin Yiwei usually does most. After all, their duty is to protect the emperor and investigate major cases such as rebellion.

In history, it was in the hands of Wei Zhongxian that the Jin Yiwei was truly reduced to a tool to clean up the courtiers.

You must know that at the end of the Wanli campaign against Korea, the Ming Dynasty received the news that Toyotomi Hideyoshi went to see Amaterasu earlier than Japan.

"Lian Po is old. He can still eat a bucket of rice, ten pounds of meat, and mount a horse. You have lived in the capital for more than twenty years. I wonder if the sword on your waist is sharp?"

"Although I am old, I am willing to repay your kindness with my heart."

Hearing this, Luo Sigong quickly cupped his hands.

Originally, he thought that he was about to be "retired", or worse, "hang himself." But now that he listened to the emperor's words, it was obvious that something had to be arranged for him, and he quickly bowed.

"Yeah." I don't know whether he was satisfied or dissatisfied with Luo Sigong's answer. Tianqi fell into silence, which made Luo Sigong feel uneasy.

"I will give you 5 taels of silver from my own funds, and you will go to Liaodong yourself. Since you said that you once obtained the marching route map of the Japanese slaves, and also set fire to the Japanese slaves' food and grass, just let me, look. Look at what you’re capable of.”

After a while, Zhu Youxiao slowly spoke.

"I don't need you to get the marching route map of the Jiannu, nor do I need you to burn the food and fodder of the Jiannu. You just need to pass on the information you can get about the Jiannu to Xiong Tingbi, the Liaodong manager, and I will consider you a great achievement. .”

"The minister obeys the order."

Hearing this, Luo Sigong responded quickly.

"Xu Xianchun."

Ignoring Luo Sigong again, Zhu Youxiao read out another name.

"The minister is here."

Xu Xianchun, who had been kneeling behind Luo Sigong, responded quickly.

"I promote you to be the commander of Jinyiwei and the admiral of Beizhen Fusi."

"The minister leads the decree to thank you."

Hearing this, Xu Xianchun's eyes widened and he quickly kowtowed in thanks.

At the same time, Luo Sigong was also frightened. The emperor had made an honest substitution.

Transferring him to Liaodong to obtain information for Xiong Tingbi was obviously to free up space for Xu Xianchun.

"Wei Dynasty."

"The servant is here."

The eunuch Bingbi, the eunuch in charge of etiquette, and Wei Chao, the admiral of the East Factory, who had already knelt down and whose legs were weak, responded quickly.

"Where were you when the late emperor passed away?"

"Go back, return to your Majesty, slave. I'm in the Royal Horse Prison. Be careful to prevent Xiaoxiao from causing trouble."

When the emperor asked where he was, Wei Chao felt guilty at this time.

Since Wang An "hanged himself", the Wei Dynasty has been in an uneasy state.

That night, he was acting as the liaison between Dong Lin and Wang An, communicating internal and external news!
"Be on guard against Xiao Xiao's mischief? Are you going to collude with foreign ministers? Pull him out and kill him with a cane!"

With a cold face, Tian Qi waved his hand, and a captain in Jinyi immediately stepped forward, pulled Wei Chao up and dragged him outside.

"Your Majesty, have mercy on me! Your Majesty, please have mercy on me."

Hearing that he was about to be killed with a stick, Wei Chao struggled quickly, but unfortunately, he broke free from the restraints of the Imperial Guards School Captain and was quickly dragged out.

"Wei Jinzhong, Liu Shimin."

"The servant is here."

The two eunuchs named by Zhu Youxiao quickly came out of the queue tremblingly.

"From now on, Wei Jinzhong will promote the eunuch Bingbi, the eunuch in charge of etiquette, to the admiral of the East Factory, and Liu Shimin will promote the eunuch eunuch in charge of the eunuch, eunuch, eunuch."

"My servant thanked the emperor for his kindness."

When they heard that Zhu Youxiao had promoted them both, they quickly thanked him.

"I will give you three days, Liu Shimin, Wei Jinzhong, and Xu Xianchun. You three can clean up the palace for me."

Zhu Youxiao said, stood up from the chair and walked towards the Nuan Pavilion of Qianqing Palace.

"I will deal with all those bitches who dare to collude with foreign ministers, especially Wang An's disciples and grandsons."
