The most reckless man in the Ming Dynasty.

Chapter 32 The evidence is conclusive! The crime of being an eunuch is worthy of death!
Deadly advice in Korean!

Count the evidence of the crimes of the Eight Tiger Eunuchs!
He also cited scriptures and precedents, comparing them to the Ten Changshi of the Han Dynasty and Qiu Shiliang of the Tang Dynasty, who were determined to drive out the Eight Tigers eunuchs!
For a moment, the whole palace was furious, and all the gentry in the court looked at Zhang Yong with evil eyes. The only eunuch in charge of Qianqing Palace present was also one of the Eight Tigers eunuchs!

Feeling the sharp gazes, Zhang Yong couldn't help but take a few breaths.

"You... How dare you do this?!"

"Our family has never done any evil deeds. How can we be compared with those Shi Chang Shi and Qiu Shiliang?"

"Whatever the rights and wrongs are, you all know it in your heart. You just want to take the opportunity to launch an attack to eradicate us so that you can usurp the divine weapon!"

Zhang Yong is just honest, he is not stupid!

How could he be a fool if he could climb to the position of eunuch in charge of the Qianqing Palace and the chief minister of the inner court?
Now that these civil servants and gentry have begun to take action and want to take the opportunity to kill themselves and others, what should they be afraid of or taboo about?
Who doesn’t know what you civil servants and gentry want to do?
Use the divine weapon to evade His Majesty the Emperor and take complete control of the court!

If you dare to do it, why don't I dare to say it?

Come on, hurt each other!

"Zhang Yong!"

Han Wen angrily said: "This is the place where state affairs are discussed, not a place for you to talk nonsense and bite randomly!"

"You know in your heart what you eunuchs are doing!"

"Lord Yuan Fu, all of you ministers and ministers are eunuchs, causing harm to the country and chaos in the government, and bewitching the young master. The harm is obvious, so you must not stay!"

When the court discusses the matter, it will naturally be discussed and discussed.

However, the decision to kill the Eight Tigers was made by the three cabinet ministers, and the civil servants and gentry had long been angry about it in private.

Except for Ma Wensheng, the old minister of the Ministry of official affairs, the rest of the nine ministers naturally had no objections.

Since ancient times, there has been a contradiction, or a chain of contempt, between civil servants, gentry, and eunuchs.

As the saying goes, "the body's hair and skin are affected by its parents." Scholars attach great importance to these Confucian holy words. To cultivate one's self, one must abide by these Confucian holy words and require oneself.

But what about these eunuchs and eunuchs?
For the sake of power and gain, you stabbed yourself and entered the palace to become an eunuch.

Is this worthy of your parents?

Moreover, "There are three types of unfilial piety, the greatest of which is not having an offspring"!
All the eunuchs have been castrated, so there are no descendants left.

So in any case, there is an inherent conflict between scholars and eunuchs.

Especially scholars who have read the books of sages, of course they know that there are many precedents of eunuchs causing harm to the country in the past dynasties.

For example, Zhao Gao who "regarded a deer as a horse" in the Qin Dynasty, Liu Han's ten regular attendants, Qiu Shiliang of Li Tang, Tong Guan of the former Song Dynasty... Open the history books and grab a lot, they are all living eunuchs who brought disaster to the country. The best proof!
Nowadays, such a group of eunuchs has appeared in the dynasty. The Eight Tiger eunuchs headed by Liu Jin, in order to invite the little emperor to favor them, offered eagles, dogs, songs, dances, horns and other tricks and games to the little emperor every day, and often seduced the little emperor. "Incognito" goes out to the palace to go on horseback riding safari!
As a result, because of the bewitching and instigation of these Eight Tiger eunuchs, the little emperor was not engaged in his official career and neglected his studies. He followed an uneducated and incompetent dandy every day. Even the banquet lectures were abolished, and he also listened to Liu Jin and other eight The tiger eunuch's slander made him increasingly dissatisfied with the civil servants and gentry!

At first, the ministers did not pay much attention to the Eight Tigers eunuchs such as Liu Jin, Zhang Yong, and Gu Dayong, and the few eunuchs the young emperor brought to Dauchi from the East Palace.

After all, it is human nature for an emperor to have his ministers. Liu Jin, Gu Dayong and other Eight Tiger eunuchs are all former ministers of the East Palace. It is normal for them to be promoted and reused!
At first, the officials thought it was just a few eunuchs who deliberately made the little emperor happy and had fun in the palace in order to invite favors.

But they didn't expect that the Eight Tigers eunuchs went too far. Even in the Nanyuan Tiger Case, the Eight Tigers eunuchs dared to take advantage of the little emperor in order to fight for power in the inner court, completely ignoring the little emperor's life and death. This made the crowd How can I endure this?

Tu Xun, the General Secretary of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, spoke again, adding fuel to the fire against the Eight Tigers eunuchs.

"Eunuchs like Liu Jin and Zhang Yong have been swarming Your Majesty to build more than 300 "imperial mansions" around the capital, seizing people's land and invading people's property!"

Zhang Sheng, the Minister of Rites, also said: "The eunuch Liu Jin also encouraged the emperor to issue an edict, requiring each of the eunuchs to hand over ten thousand gold in "contracting fees". Where did this "ten thousand gold" come from? These eunuchs and eunuchs are not here to seize the people's wealth and support by pretending to be powerful!" "This is tantamount to encouraging the eunuchs and eunuchs outside to corrupt and accept bribes, amass money wantonly, and do their best to abuse the people. The people are complaining, and the soldiers and civilians are suffering. If you go down, I'm afraid it will cause a big disaster!"

When the ministers heard this, they nodded repeatedly and began to criticize fiercely.

Even Master Tianguan Ma Wensheng had a livid face and looked at the little emperor who was reading on the stage with a faint look.

At this moment, Zhu Houzhao felt the sharp gaze of the old minister and couldn't help but tremble a little.

There is no way, he did do these things, and he did so!

It can be summed up in one word - poor!

Yes, he, the little emperor, was very poor, so poor that he could hardly sleep.

The internal funds are now under the control of his mother, and the little emperor cannot touch them at all.

Let alone the treasury, it would be strange if these civil servants and gentry didn’t scold him to death!
So the little emperor was poor. If he wanted to make money, he could only rely on eunuchs and eunuchs.

So Liu Jin took advantage of the situation and came up with these two "clever ideas"!
First, let those guarding eunuchs who are outside to supervise the army, and those who are out to supervise the army, not be idle after they go out, and find ways to make more money. When they come back, they must pay "ten thousand gold", otherwise they will be cut off. Off your head!

As for eunuchs, it is their nature to be greedy for money, and most of them are methods of plundering people's wealth. Moreover, Zhu Houzhao didn't ask for much. He just asked them to pay "ten thousand gold" each, so he wouldn't bother the people too much!

The second thing is to give full play to the old skills of Lao Zhu's family, build "imperial estates" and accumulate wealth.

This "Imperial Village" is the royal family's Zhuangzi. The fields under his name are directly managed by eunuchs sent by the royal family. Naturally, there is no need to pay taxes to the court, and all harvests belong to the emperor.

When Liu Jin proposed this method at first, the little emperor was still a little hesitant.

Because of this matter, it doesn't look like a good thing at all. If you take away people's land and make them become tenants to farm the land for you, don't those people hate him, Zhu Houzhao, the Zhengde Emperor?
However, Liu Jin claimed that the emperors of all dynasties had done this, and Yingzong was like this. The name of Huangzhuang began in the Tianshun period, and Xianzong was even more like this. Three royal estates have been purchased!
This is an out-and-out fact. Purchasing an imperial estate has become a traditional skill of the emperors of the old Zhu family.

So when the little emperor heard this, he just let Liu Jin take care of it.

Han Wen, the Minister of Household Affairs, took out a data record and sneered: "Only one month after His Majesty ascended the throne, Liu Jin and other Eight Tiger eunuchs established imperial mansions in seven places including Shilipu in Daxing County. Since then, they have become more and more unscrupulous. The number of villages has skyrocketed to more than 300!"

Huangzhuang!

More than three hundred schools!

Everyone couldn't help but gasp!
You are really crazy!

Even the "foolish and unprincipled" Emperor Chenghua didn't go so far, right?

Tang Hao looked at Zhu Houzhao with an evil look. If it wasn't in full view of everyone, he would have wanted to slap him away!
Feeling Tang Hao's sharp gaze, the little emperor was so anxious that he almost cried, and immediately explained in a low voice.

"I didn't do it!"

"This is all Liu Jin's fault!"

"I didn't even know he was so heartless and heartless!"

"Oh!" Tang Hao sneered: "Explain to me what you are doing? Just wait to be sprayed!"

As soon as these words came out, the little emperor was obviously stunned. Who dares to criticize me?
After all, I am also the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. No matter how domineering the civil servants and gentry are, they will definitely not dare to criticize me in public...

Then the next moment, he saw Tianguan Ma Wensheng stand up tremblingly, and Zhu Houzhao's face turned green for a moment!
　Today's first update, civil servants and gentry have begun to attack. It is not easy to recommend new books to newcomers. Brothers, thank you very much for your support!
