Ping An Biography

The secret performance from Huguang to the evil sect soon became known to the eunuch Wang Gou'er, the chief inspector of ceremonies.The emperor couldn't hide many things from the eunuchs around him, because if some literal things were not destroyed on the spot, they had to be handed over to someone for safekeeping, and most of the entrusted objects were close eunuchs.

The current power of eunuchs and supervisors of ceremonies is still not too great, but it is much better than Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang who said clearly, "This Cao Zhi can be used for sweeping and sweeping. If you give orders, you must have special appointments, and don't order too many orders."The gradual participation of eunuchs in government affairs began in the Yongle era. Emperor Yongle had already begun to use eunuchs...because there was only one emperor like Zhu Yuanzhang in the Ming Dynasty. Women in the harem and eunuchs are not allowed to participate in politics; obviously, the later emperors could not handle so many imperial affairs alone, and some should appear slowly.

Zhu Yuanzhang briefly and one-sidedly summed up the lessons of the predecessors. The Han Dynasty died from relatives, and the Tang Dynasty died from eunuchs. The ancestral system was established early on.However, during the Yongle period, the emperor realized that imperial power needs to be represented by people, but courtiers cannot be competent. The game of monarchy and power has been played for thousands of years. People have no descendants, and usurping the throne is meaningless; the social relationship of eunuchs is relatively simple, and there are no relatives to speak of, and power can be withdrawn or released.Emperor Yongle believed that the disaster of eunuchs in the Tang Dynasty was due to the imperfect rules and regulations.

Now Emperor Xuande Zhu Zhanji has inherited the political thinking of Lord Yongle, and has begun to develop the power of the prime minister. The re-planning of the cabinet is his first step.

Under such a general trend, Wang Gou'er was fully aware of his opportunity.Defeating Haitao back then was not only for self-protection, but also to clear obstacles for his own future.When Haitao arrives at Fengyang Shouling, the current king of the Forbidden City, Gou'er, looks around at a loss and has no rivals.He has opponents and threats, but he is no longer the eunuchs who are also eunuchs.

The Supervisor of Rituals is located in the northeast of the imperial city, inside the Bei'an Gate, and gradually formed a pattern of the Beiyamen in the Tang Dynasty, forming a power organization of its own.Wang Gou'er sat in the prison of ceremonies, facing the eunuchs who respectfully and respectfully called his ancestors around him, he couldn't help feeling a little smug. {.

But he quickly reminded himself to be self-sufficient. It was very difficult and long to climb to this position, but losing it could be overnight.

Most people in today's world can't do anything to him, King Gou'er, and there are only two people who can decide his fate, two generations of emperors: the current emperor Xuande, and the former emperor Jianwen.Both of them had to be served with care.

Needless to say, Xuande, he can turn Wang Gou'er from an "ancestor" into a grandson with a single sentence.It is not so difficult for Emperor Jianwen to want Wang Gou'er to die, although it may hurt both sides.

The little eunuch Huang An has already returned to the palace. Last time he was in a hurry, Wang Gou'er sent him back to report to his old master. Unexpectedly, this guy was sent back again.This made Wang Gou'er feel a little bit under surveillance. Fortunately, Huang An was too tender and unfamiliar with government affairs, so he was usually easy to deal with.

It can be seen from this that Jianwen does not want to put Wang Gou'er to death unless it is a last resort; of course Wang Gou'er also feels that he should try his best to maintain this relationship so as not to become an abandoned child.

After pondering for a long time, he dismissed the little eunuch who was bringing tea and water by his side, and cautiously got up and gently closed the door.Turn around and sit down and lift the pen, with the left hand.

Most people use their right hand to write, but Wang Gou'er has a special ability to write with his left hand, which he usually doesn't reveal to outsiders.If he writes with his left hand, if he makes a mistake, he will not be able to grasp the evidence that makes him die without a place to bury him. Using his power among the eunuchs, he can completely wipe out the matter before the emperor knows.

He wrote down all of Wu Yong's secret memorials and the emperor's mastery of the cult, and prepared to send them to Jianwen.It should be a great credit to warn Jianwen's party members of the danger in advance... When Wang Gou'er was writing, Jianwen's face when he was still young appeared in his mind, and Jianwen seemed to say: I have already said that Wang Gouer is a slave Still loyal to me.

Wang Gou'er finished writing quickly, read it, thought about it and added a paragraph later.Xuan De and Hu Ying suspected that Zhang Ning, the imperial censor of Huguang, was colluding with the "rebellious party" because he concealed his knowledge and did not report it.

Wang Gou'er didn't know Zhang Ning's identity, and he didn't know that he was "one of his own".Wang Gouer's addition was entirely due to Zhang Ning's gratitude for helping him deal with Haitao last time.He thinks he is still a person with clear grievances and grievances. Now that Zhang Ning is in danger of losing his life, he feels that it is necessary to help... It is not clear whether it will work or not, and he can only do so much.

"In this world, our family is considered a person if we don't hit a well. Whether you live or die depends on your luck." Wang Gou'er put down his pen and sighed slightly.

The only person who sent this thing out was the little eunuch Huang An.Wang Gou'er usually has countless people who can be dispatched, but Huang An is the only one who can do this kind of work, because this guy is also someone who was placed by Jianwen's party members.He himself can't go out to do such sneaky things. As a high-ranking eunuch, his every move is too ambitious.

Huang An quickly left the palace and sent the letter to the secret base of the capital, and then the letter flew southward at the speed of a messenger, and finally reached Jianwen's secret center.

...The news really shocked Zhu Yunqi and the important people around him.Zhu Yunqi, who pretended to be calm and didn't speak easily, was subconsciously prepared to run away if he couldn't do it.

He tried his best to endure, so he didn't ask Zheng Qia on the spot: Is the Taoist temple and mausoleum he built for himself in Jiangxi completed?

The years have already worn away his fighting spirit, and he always thinks of avoiding and running away when encountering troubles.Maybe it has become a habit to escape these years.

The "Prince" Zhu Wenkui couldn't hide his dissatisfaction with the evil sect in his words: "Now they have brought us a lot of trouble! Those people usually act too ostentatiously, and the number of followers has expanded to hundreds of thousands, and they have long been targeted by the government We still don’t know how to restrain ourselves. Now, once the puppet government decides that the evil cult is closely related to us, it will be regarded as a serious problem, and it will not be long before sending troops to conquer. If some of them are captured, will our place be safe? Several provinces and sea routes The business is also fully exposed..."

Zheng Qia, Jianwen's most trusted and important counselor, immediately stood up and said to reassure everyone: "This matter is indeed a big deal, but it is not yet the time of the urgency. First of all, it is reported that the King of Han in Le'an, Shandong is about to raise troops. The confidant of the court is in Shandong, and we are not the biggest enemy that threatens Xuande. It is difficult for the puppet court to spare a hand to deal with the evil sect; secondly, according to the news from Fang Ling, the third prince is in Huguang to inspect the local military equipment, which is too unusable It is very difficult for the Puppet Dynasty to transfer troops from Huguang nearby, and it will take time to transfer troops from other places. Therefore, we cannot panic immediately."

"What Zheng Xueshi said is very true, very true!" Zhu Yunqi said slightly relieved.He paid more and more attention to Zheng Qia. This bachelor who was appointed after a downturn was very knowledgeable and could always come up with strategies in an orderly manner in times of crisis.

Zheng Qia immediately said: "I think that the thing that should be done right now is to urgently report to Mrs. Yao, the head of the evil sect, and ask her to let the third prince avoid him immediately, so that Jin Yiwei will not arrest him and go to Beijing first."

Empress Ma, who was sitting next to Zhu Yunwen, couldn't help but said: "If he didn't come to investigate, how would the court know the details of the evil sect? Are we worrying too much... He didn't even see his father. Who are the people who serve the puppet dynasty?"

After hearing this, Zheng Qia showed helplessness and bowed his head in silence.

Zhu Yunwen looked sideways and said earnestly: "If the youngest found out and reported to Beijing, why did Jin Yiwei arrest him? Besides, he can put his own mother in danger? Now that the matter is now, don't gossip with your own people anymore. At the beginning, it wasn’t that Wang Gou’er was greedy for wealth and wealth and turned his back. If Wang Gou’er hadn’t handed over the news now, who in Beijing would have found out such a secret? At that time, we were unprepared to be caught off guard, and the consequences would be even worse. serious!"

Empress Ma looked displeased, but she had nothing to say.Although sometimes words can turn black into white, but the truth is too clear and there is no way.Zhang Ning really has no reason to deal with his own mother if he wants to do meritorious service for the court.

Zhu Yunqi immediately said: "Send a secret envoy to Yongshun Division immediately."

A white and fat "Taoist" standing beside him immediately took orders and quietly retreated.

Zhu Yunwen looked back at the few people in the Taoist palace, and finally cast his eyes on Zheng Qia: "Although the disaster is not yet in sight, there will be near-term worries without long-term considerations. Can Xueshi Zheng have a good plan?"

Zheng Qia pondered for a long time, and said: "This matter should be discussed in the long run."

Wen Kui couldn't help cupping his fists and said: "Father, my son thinks that we can only abandon one side to protect the overall situation. Although the evil spirit sect is an important force for us, it has been exposed to danger and has to be abandoned. You can order the evil spirit sect to know Too many people have been transferred one after another, letting go of the affairs of the church and fleeing far away. Even if the imperial court sends troops to arrest the believers, they will not get any news from us, they are nothing more than a bunch of refugees."

Zheng Qia immediately frowned and said, "The crown prince made some sense, but he was quick-witted and didn't expect the difficulty. Not only did some leaders in the church know about it, but they also settled down many family members who fled after the Battle of Nanjing. Able to be self-sufficient and receive a salary from the central. Once they want to let them leave, they have to face several big problems: they have to convince everyone, and they need a lot of money and food to resettle them. .”

Wen Kui argued: "As long as they understand their interests, are they willing to stay and wait for death or leave? No one will feel better if they are arrested by the court on the charge of disrupting the party. It is better to go to remote villages in batches to settle incognito. a happy ending."

Zheng Qia sighed and said, "That's the reason, but it's not easy for people to get something without letting go, it's just the human heart."
