I was the emperor in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 339 Contradictions Between the Honored Group and the Guarding Eunuch
"Ma Dazhong, as the Nanjing garrison eunuch, has great authority. If a person like him is not corrupt or corrupt, it is impossible to catch people's hearts."

"But besides him, the guard eunuch, Nanjing also has quite a few princes and nobles, which should not be underestimated."

"Ma Dazhong almost stumbled because of Zhang Yiliang's incident. At this time, there are many people who are willing to see him fall!
You Xu Jingnian must be one of them! "

Xu Jingnian trembled when he heard the words, and his head drooped even lower.

Seeing his reaction like this, Li Tian knew that he must have guessed right, so he continued,
"But if you want to become such a powerful person, it is not enough to rely on a small supervisory censor, you also need a strong ally!
It seems obvious that Zhang Yiliang, Minister of the Ministry of War in Nanjing, should benefit the most from the downfall of Ma Dazhong, but I don't think so.

Not to mention that Zhang Yiliang was framed by Liu Gang and his family was imprisoned at this time, and he himself was taken into captivity and disappeared.

Then it's not hard to guess who the rest are. "

Speaking of this, Li Tian smiled lightly and said,
"Xu Jingnian, tell me, which dukes and marquises who hold military power came forward to support you!"

Xu Jingnian was already sweating profusely at this time, and said with a pale face,

"Don't dare to hide it from Your Majesty. Although Wei Guogong is behind this matter, I know that other nobles in Nanjing are also on Wei Guogong's side."

After hearing the name Wei Guogong, Li Tian felt a little strange, because in his memory,

At this time, Wei Guogong should be Xu Qin, the eldest son of Xu Huizu.

When Xu Qin was in Yongle for 19 years, he was deprived of his title by Zhu Di and demoted to a commoner.

After Zhu Gaochi ascended the throne, in order to appease the morale of the people all over the world, he returned the title of Duke of the Kingdom to him.

However, in his vague memory, this Xu Qin also seemed to be a short-lived ghost. After regaining the title of Duke, he died within a month at the age of 33.

But at this moment, it seems that this Xu Qin is not only alive, but also alive and kicking to make trouble.

Through this incident, Li Tian felt that his arrival might have affected the continuity of the original time and space.

Even small abnormal actions of oneself may bring earth-shaking changes to the world.

The original history may only be used as a reference.

After realizing this, Li Tian no longer struggled with this issue.

It's just that there is one more point that Li Tian couldn't figure out for a while.

Why did the gang of nobles in Nanjing suddenly join forces to attack Ma Dazhong, the powerful eunuch?

After thinking for a long time, Li Tian finally figured out the key point.

In fact, the main reason why they made so many special articles was because they asked Li Qing, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, to take the lead in investigating the Tianxiawei Institute some time ago.

Nanjing used to be the capital of the Ming Dynasty. Whether it is the number of people around it or the deep-rootedness of the Xungui Group, it is not comparable to Beijing at this time.

After being operated by these honorable groups for decades, Nanjing has formed an inherent model at this time.

That is, everyone secretly divides the cake and seeks the benefits together.

But Ma Dazhong was different from them, he was an eunuch, he could not have offspring, and naturally he couldn't be like those nobles.

Open up branches and spread leaves, plant your roots in Nanjing, and make plans for long-term success.

He originally planned to make a fortune in a flash, and he didn't know how to restrain himself when he was crazily accumulating money.

This became one of the most direct conflicts between Ma Dazhong and these nobles.

Originally, Ma Dazhong could temporarily appease these nobles with the large amount of money he collected.

But since the news came out in the capital that the imperial court wanted to investigate the Tianxiawei, those nobles quit.

The foundation of my survival is about to be demolished, who wants to let a eunuch oppress him.

So they joined forces and wanted to kill Ma Dazhong, and then they were trying to solve the imperial court's investigation of the world's guards.

But they didn't expect that Ma Dazhong had accumulated a lot of contacts and manpower in Nanjing for so many years.

Seeing that the source of income is about to be cut off, and he will be wiped out by those nobles, how can he be willing to kill him.

So a lot of money was thrown out, and many interceptions were arranged along the way, just to kill Xu Jingnian.

If it weren't for the fact that those honorable men who arranged for Xu Jingnian were loyal and in good shape, it might be a question of whether Xu Jingnian would be able to leave Nanjing.

Xu Jingnian, as the supervisory censor, was actually taken advantage of this time.

The battle between Xungui and the guarding eunuch ended up causing him many unwarranted disasters.

In fact, neither the Xungui Group nor the guarding eunuch Ma Dazhong are good birds, and they fight back and forth for their own interests.

Xu Jingnian was a good and upright official, and because of this, he was so easy to be used by others.

Li Tian didn't know what he was thinking at this moment, but he knew that if he was used by others like this, he would be very upset.

So Li Tian said to him,

"Xu Jingnian, you risked your life to go to Beijing to expose the crimes of Ma Dazhong and others. Just from this point of view, you are a good official with a sense of justice, who is not afraid of power and life and death!"

"However, as a court official, it is not enough to have a sense of justice, you must also have the ability to distinguish right from wrong!

Whether it is Xungui or Ma Dazhong, they are a group of moths in my opinion, and they will be eliminated sooner or later. "

Hearing what Li Tian said, Xu Jingnian was shocked, but he didn't know whether he was shocked by Li Tian's praise, or he was excited when he heard that Li Tian wanted to do something to those nobles.

He wanted to speak several times, but in the end, he held back.

In fact, whether it is Xungui or Ma Dazhong, it really doesn't matter in Li Tian's eyes. It's just a matter of will to kill them.

But in the eyes of people like Xu Jingnian, those people are all important officials who hold real power, and they are big figures who can control the lives of many people.

It is said that the vision is different, and the realm will be different.

In Xu Jingnian's eyes, it seems like a big deal, but in front of Li Tian's eyes, it may not even count as a trivial matter.

It is true that Xu Jingnian is indeed a good official, and he did risk his life and death, and came to the capital after going through hardships and obstacles, so that he had the opportunity to say such a few words to Li Tian.

But even so, what can change.

Li Tian could dismiss Ma Dazhong or even execute him on the spot with a single edict, but the matter in Nanjing must be resolved, otherwise it would be useless to kill ten or eight guard eunuchs.

If you want to cure the situation in Nanjing, you must first beat and subdue those deep-rooted noble groups.

But at this time, Li Tian couldn't spare his hands to deal with them at all. The most he could do now was to criticize them severely.
