I was the emperor in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 4 Dongchang and Jinyiwei
After being tormented by the resentful queen, Li Tian only felt that his waist and knees were sore.

It is true that this body is in the prime of life, but the puffiness makes the waist a little short.

I still have to practice, Li Tian thought to himself.

Yesterday he specifically asked Jiang Bao for the brochure of concubines in the harem, but he didn't know if he didn't read it, and he was shocked when he saw it.

There are as many as a hundred concubines above the noble rank in the entire harem.

And because of the change of the new king, except for Queen Zhang and a few concubines who were promoted from the prince's mansion, they have never seen the emperor.

When the emperor chooses a concubine, the appearance and figure are naturally not bad. Thinking that there are more than a hundred beauties waiting for him, Li Tian only feels that his waist is getting more and more sore.

"Your Majesty, my concubine will help you change your clothes."

Queen Zhang, who was sure that the emperor had not changed his mind, was in a good mood and said softly.

Taking advantage of the situation, he stood up and let the queen fiddle with her.

Li Tian said casually:
"Ling'er, I see that your complexion is not very good, let the Imperial Food Supervisor pass on more supplements recently."

When the emperor called her boudoir name, Empress Zhang's expression froze for a moment, her heart became sweet, and she didn't think that it was the emperor who wanted to make up for her, so she said respectfully: "The courtiers and concubines are all arranged by your majesty."

The soul of Emperor Yongle returned to the sea. According to the ancestral system, the new emperor can not go to court for half a month, but even though it is not a cumbersome court dress, the casual clothes also toss Li Tian quite a lot.

After a while, and finally got dressed, Li Tian said impatiently:

"I don't need to go to court, why should I be tortured like this?"

Empress Zhang caressed the folds of the dragon robe, pursed her lips and said with a smile:
"Your Majesty is the king of a country, and it is only natural to maintain the imperial manners. As for torture, countless people in the world would like to suffer it once in their dreams."

"Hahaha, according to what Ling'er said, I'm being hypocritical."

Li Tian laughed loudly at being teased by Queen Zhang, and said loudly.

"Your Majesty, the Supervisor of Rites is holding a pen, and I'm asking to see you outside the Huang Yan Hall."

Jiang Bao's shrill voice sounded outside the palace gate.

Hearing Jiang Bao's stern report, Huang Yan's face was pale.

As the supervisor of ceremonies and the writer, the admiral of Dongchang who is well known to everyone, he should be the most trusted talent of the emperor.

After all, as a servant and eunuch, all his power comes from the emperor, but Jiang Bao's emotionless report made him understand that the new emperor does not seem to have a good impression of Dongchang.

Hearing Jiang Bao's report, Li Tian's expression turned serious.

He still knows the spy system of two factories and one guard in the Ming Dynasty. The Jinyiwei of the East Factory and the West Factory almost ran through the history of the Ming Dynasty.

His high status and ruthless actions have made countless courtiers and common people silent.

"Let him in."

Li Tian said indifferently.

The harem is not allowed to participate in politics. This is the ancestral system. Empress Zhang retreated to the harem very consciously and did not disturb Li Tian's meeting with Huang Yan.

Huang Yan, who was only fifty years old, knelt on the ground as soon as he entered the palace gate.

"The old slave sends His Majesty greetings."

"Get up and talk."

Huang Yan saluted meticulously and got up, bowing slightly, for fear that the emperor might be dissatisfied/
"Thank you, Your Majesty, do you still remember the rebellion of the mountain people in Youxi County under the administration of Yanping Prefecture in Fujian half a month ago?"

Li Tian nodded. He knew about the Fujian mountain people's rebellion.

Two mountain people in Fujian were bullied by the local gentry. They held a pleading paper and wanted to come to the capital to sue the imperial court. But when they set off, they heard that the emperor was dead. rebelled.

It's very evil to say.

Youxi County couldn't suppress the rebellion of just two mountain people, and even included the county magistrate.

Although the county magistrate is only a seventh-rank sesame official, he is a parent official appointed by the imperial court after all. Yanping Mansion soon learned of the news and sent troops to suppress it.

But even more evil came, and the Yanping Mansion couldn't suppress it. In the end, Li Min, the Fujian commander who was in charge of a province's military, went out and personally led troops to wipe out the so-called mountain people's rebellion.

Seeing the emperor nodding his head, Huang Yan didn't dare to betray him, and said like a bean:

"Your Majesty, according to the investigation of the old slave, although the rebellion of the two mountain people was true, the one who killed the magistrate of Youxi County was the second son of Zhang Zhongqing, the magistrate of Yanping Prefecture."

What Huang Yan said was earth-shattering and shocked Li Tian,
There is a map of the entire Ming Dynasty in the Imperial Study Room. He counted it yesterday in his spare time. The entire Ming Dynasty only has 210 and eight state capitals. The son of the ruler of a prefecture led the rebellion, which is no less than a coup d'état!
Li Tian narrowed his eyes slightly, and said in a deep voice:

"What about the other officials in the Yanping Mansion, they all wear the same trousers as that surnamed Zhang?"

Huang Yan hesitated and said:
"The old slave dare not make rash judgments, but the local gentry definitely put in a lot of effort."

Well, as soon as Huang Yan said this, Li Tian understood what was going on.

The sky was high and the emperor was far away, and it happened that the late emperor had died. The idiot son of the prefect of Yanping prefect thought that the opportunity had come, so he recruited the local gentry, ready to give it a go, and exchanged his broken bicycle for a motorcycle.

It's just that I didn't expect that the motorcycle was not replaced, and my life was lost.

But there is still one thing that Li Tian doesn't understand. Since Li Min, the Fujian commander, has suppressed the rebellion, why didn't he report the truth to the court?
Seeing that the emperor was lost in thought, Huang Yan felt that heaven and man were at war in his heart, and he was very entangled.

The rebellion of the mountain people was over long ago, so he didn't come here early in the morning for the sake of the mountain people, but he didn't know Xinhuang's attitude towards Dongchang, so he didn't dare to put himself on the fire.

At this moment, Jiang Bao's voice suddenly sounded outside the hall.

"Your Majesty, Commander of the Jinyiwei envoy Liu Gang is seeking an audience outside the hall."

"Let him in."

Jinyiwei is a secret service agency that existed during Zhu Yuanzhang's time. Its power is all over the sky and it is only responsible to the emperor.

Liu Gang is naturally no exception. He was born as a martial arts examiner in the fourth year of Yongle. He is more than eight feet tall and has a long sword in one hand.

As soon as he entered the hall, Liu Gang looked at Huang Yan with burning eyes, let out a cold snort, and half-kneeled in the tunnel, saying:
"Reporting to Your Majesty, I have found out that Zhang Yiliang, Minister of the Military Department of Southern Zhili, is suspected of rebellion. All 83 members of his family have been sent to prison by the humble official. This is Zhang Yiliang's confession."

Speaking of which, Liu Gang took out a piece of yellow paper from his arms, and put his hands in front of Li Tian.

Reaching out to take the sweep, Li Tian understood in his heart, threw it on the ground casually, looked at Huang Yan and said:

"Eunuch Huang, take a look."

Ever since Liu Gang came in, Huang Yan felt that something was wrong, and the current attitude of the emperor made Huang Yan feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

Glancing at the paper on the ground, Huang Yan burst into tears and said:

"The old slave is guilty, the old slave is guilty, I beg His Majesty to punish you."

Li Tian smiled coldly, Huang Yan, as a servant eunuch and admiral of the East Factory, actually hesitated in front of him for a long time.

Zhang Yiliang is the matter of Zhang Zhongqing's uncle, I'm afraid Huang Yan already knew about it.

Seeing Huang Yan crying bitterly, Li Tian didn't bother to say anything, and said in a neutral way:
"I don't want to embarrass you either. Dongchang has been merged into Jinyiwei from today onwards. From now on, you can work under Liu Gang."

"The old slave thanked His Majesty for his grace, the old slave thanked His Majesty for his mercy."

Huang Yan's brain was pounding, and his heart was full of joy for the rest of his life.
