Good son-in-law of the Ming Dynasty

After tossing for almost a whole day, the time when Shuntian Mansion was besieged by scholars finally came to a satisfactory resolution.

At the foot of the Son of Heaven, in the first benevolent area, it is impossible not to attract the attention of all parties when such a major event occurs.

At the same time, in the Forbidden City, the Supervisor of Rites.

Today's Emperor Hongzhi, after seeing the scourge of the factory guards of the former dynasty, trusted the civil servants and restricted the eunuchs and Jin Yiwei spies a lot.Therefore, the power of approving awards from the Supervisor of Ceremonies was also taken over, and it was reduced to a complete secretarial organization.Unlike after the Jiajing Dynasty, the Lijian had the final decision-making power over the government, and the power of the eunuchs who held the seal and the pen was even more powerful than the cabinet ministers.

In the last years of Hongzhi, Xiyuan was still under construction, and the cabinet and six departments in the imperial city had not yet been diverted.With so many central ministries crowded together, the territory of each yamen seems narrow and crowded.

The power of the Supervisor of Ceremonies is left behind, and it looks a bit shabby, but it is just a small courtyard with two entrances.

At this moment, the sun was still high in the sky, and tall trees were not allowed to be planted in the imperial city for safety reasons. After being exposed to the scorching sun for a day, it immediately became uncomfortably hot like a steamer.

Especially this kind of one-story house, as long as you stay in it for a while, you can't help sweating out.

Although it was hot, the eunuchs inside still maintained their basic manners, not to mention fans, even when they walked, they walked lightly, for fear of disturbing the chief inspector of rituals who was working in the house, Dongji Shichang Factory worker Xu Can.

After being completely reduced to a secretarial institution, the Supervisor of Rituals has basically become an empty shelf. Whether it is the steward's brand or the pens, it is no different from other eunuchs in charge of the palace.Only Dongchang still has a group of competent personnel, struggling to support the dignity of the servants.

And because the current palm print eunuch Hou Gonggong is already old, he hasn't been here for a while.And Xu Can directly controls the powerful organization of Dongchang, and is young and vigorous, so he naturally became the backbone and talker of the Supervisor of Rites.

Unlike Liu Jin's hunched back and obsequious face, he looks like a villain at first glance.Eunuch Xu was born in a serious Neishutang, and his moral writings did not let the bachelors of the Imperial Academy, and he was elegant and handsome, just like a flower.

He is only in his early thirties this year, and his skin is fair and moist. He is sitting upright on a chair at the moment, carefully looking at a file in his hand.

Xu Can has maintained this posture for an hour, but he is still as tall and straight as a pine tree, and there is no sweat on his face with beautiful eyebrows and phoenix eyes.

The two eunuchs who were waiting on the sidelines were already red-faced, with sweat dripping down their noses and chins.

A young eunuch probably couldn't stand the heat anymore, moved his hand, and was about to wipe off his sweat.

But Xu Can suddenly raised his head, looked over with sharp eyes, and said coldly: "It's natural to be cool when the mind is calm." His eyes were full of darkness and cruelty.

The little eunuch's face immediately turned pale, strange to say, but the sweat on his body disappeared instantly.

He knew that the boss of the East Factory was very strict, he paid special attention to details, and was extremely harsh on people. Sometimes you didn't even know where you were wrong, and you were beaten to death by him and dragged out to feed the dogs.

The little eunuch's legs went limp, and he immediately knelt on the ground, about to wail.

At this time, there was a sound of light footsteps outside, and a fan from Dongchang walked in, and said in a low voice: "Mr. Chang, Shuntian Mansion..."

Xu Can glanced at Fanzi, then waved to the little eunuch kneeling on the ground, signaling him to go out: "Be careful next time, our family likes to be clean."

"Yes, godfather." The little eunuch didn't know how to get out, as soon as he stepped out of the door, his body softened and he fell to the ground.However, he also knew that his little life was picked up.

When only that fan was left in the room, Eunuch Xu asked: "What's the matter, Jin Yiwei made a big fool of himself this time."

As he spoke, he squeezed his throat and smiled lightly, and the air in the room suddenly became a little colder.

It is not a matter of a day or two for Dongchang and Jinyiwei to compete for favor, and Xu Can has a good understanding of the emperor's mind.

Although the emperor was very vigilant against the factory guards, he was reluctant to give up the convenience of spy politics.

Both Dongchang and Jinyiwei are the eyes and ears of the emperor, but their functions overlap. Whoever is used and who is not, and who is trusted or not, is related to the wealth of thousands of people.

Therefore, the two organizations fight openly and secretly every day, and both want to see the other make a fool of themselves.

Because scholars were involved in the demolition of Shuntian Mansion this time, Eunuch Xu also knew the seriousness of it, so he asked Dongchang not to get involved, and gave back all the responsibility for maintaining law and order to Mu Bin.

Eunuch Xu also regards himself as a scholar in his heart, and he also knows the temperament of a scholar very well.This is a group of careless people. If everything falls into their hands, they will never give up until there is a storm all over the city, and they will even listen to the sky.This is an opportunity to gain reputation and reap benefits.In addition, today's saints are generous, no matter how generous the scholars are, they will not be severely punished.

On the contrary, he was extremely strict with the factory guards. If Jin Yi mishandled one of them this time, he would be asking for trouble. By then, Mou Bin's good days would be over.

Therefore, although he stayed out of the matter, he still dispatched a large number of spies to report the news of Shuntian Mansion like flowing water, and only waited for the right opportunity to light a fire again to completely suppress Jin Yiwei.

Hearing Xu Can's question, the fan put his mouth close to his ear and whispered a few words.

"What, this matter is over like this?" Xu Can raised his head without changing his expression, but he was still faintly disappointed.

Fanzi: "Back to the factory, in fact, this matter has nothing to do with Lin Wenliu. The house belongs to the Huang family. The Huang family said that they accept the eunuchs of Shuntian Mansion. What right does he have to continue to pester him as an outsider? There is no such reason."

"But..." Xu Can nodded, and suddenly stretched out his hand to rub the ink slowly.

As someone close to him who has served him for many years, that man naturally knew that this was the factory owner's habitual action when he was thinking about problems, so he did not speak, turned his back on his back, and quietly retreated out.

I don't know how long it took to grind the ink. Seeing that the ink in the inkstone had been ground so viscous that it could become silky, Eunuch Xu dipped his pen in some ink and wrote "Hu Shun" on the paper. Two big characters.

It is the standard Song Huizong thin gold body, with silver hooks and iron strokes, thin and long, like a knife, with a sharp edge.

After finishing writing, he threw the pen down, and Xu Can smiled calmly: "It's not a big deal, it's also his luck that Mou Bin has such talents under his command."

"This matter can't be dragged on for long, otherwise there will be raging public opinion and a sensation in Nine Cities. At that time, no one will be able to cover it. In the end, someone will definitely be thrown out to appease the anger of scholars. The scholar-bureaucrats and the king ruled the world together; moreover, it is the year of the Grand Competition, and the national ceremonies of ethics and talents cannot be messed up."

"This Hu Shun is just an officer of a hundred households who has only been in office for a day, but he can see the strength of this. With this kind of vision, he is already a first-class talent."

"Furthermore, he can divide and disintegrate the Huang family, and he can use rumors to mobilize the demolition households to force the Huang family back. With this kind of thinking and means, he is a first-class person."

After muttering a few words, Xu Can put away his smile, and his eyes changed into a cold and gloomy look: "This happened to a hundred households who just took office for a day. If it is a coincidence, I don't believe it. The most likely, This Hu Shun is Commander Mou, a talent you have already reserved in your pocket, but today he came to fight the fire. Jin Yiwei actually has such a person, Commander Mou, our family is a little envious of you."
