Ming Dynasty fake eunuch

Chapter 188
Wanli was very angry, not only angry with those civil servants who were full of benevolence and morality, but also angry with himself. Why didn't he see such an obvious countermeasure?
In fact, Wanli is a typical horse queen. On the way back from Ye Xun, he had no regrets at all. It was not until the news that the Jurchen army failed to attack Kuandian that Wanli realized that he had been tricked. The Jurchen officials who asked for peace have disappeared.

Although the report said that Yuan Yingtai led the army to repel the Jurchen army, Wanli is not stupid, and he knows Yuan Yingtai well, knowing that he has no such skills at all, which means that this victory was planned by Ye Xun.

After reaching this conclusion, Wanli felt even more uncomfortable. Isn't it a bit too much for him to treat meritorious ministers like this?
But Wanli, as an emperor, cannot admit his faults!When the news of Ye He's destruction came, Wanli was even more embarrassed to see Ye Xun, so he could only keep him aside for now.

Wanli may have another idea in his mind, that is, if Yuan Yingtai can control the situation in Liaodong, then let Ye Xun stand aside completely, otherwise, it is another matter.

In short, Wanli will not see Ye Xun in a short time.

After dinner, he had a listless conversation with Concubine Zheng, and was about to rest when an accident happened at Uncle Zheng's house, which was reported by the Jin Yiwei at the palace gate through the servants.

This kind of thing happened outside the palace, Wanli couldn't help being taken aback, while Concubine Zheng beside her heard that it happened outside her brother's house, she was so frightened that she cried.

The palace gate was closed, and even the emperor could not open it. After sending someone to inquire carefully about the situation through the palace gate again, he instinctively told Wanli that this incident might have something to do with Ye Xun again.

Wanli believed that there were officials in the DPRK who colluded with Jurchen, but this person would not be Uncle Zheng Guo, because that would do him no good at all, and he couldn't afford to take the risk to talk to Jurchen.

And these people who made trouble were obviously complaining about Ye Xun, but if they didn't go to those censors, how could they find Zheng Guotai?

So if there is no shadow of Ye Xun in this matter, Wanli would not believe it if he was killed.

But everything needs evidence, right?Ye Xun is an eunuch, and those scholars are born enemies with the eunuch, how could they obey Ye Xun's assignment?

Wanli was really a little confused, and at this moment he heard Concubine Zheng beside him crying and crying: "Your Majesty wants to make decisions for my concubine's elder brother!"

Wanli nodded and said: "Send someone to inform Xu Xianchun, first arrest all the troublemakers, and hand them over to Dali Temple for strict trial tomorrow."

Jin Yiwei can't be allowed to come forward in this matter, otherwise, I don't know how many people will be involved.

After delivering the decree, Wanli suddenly remembered something again, turned to Concubine Zheng and said, "Ye Xun is back, you didn't provoke him, did you?"

Concubine Zheng obviously didn't expect Wanli to ask such a question, she was taken aback for a moment, and then said with flickering eyes: "How can a concubine know as much as a slave?"

Wanli sighed, and said: "My dear concubine, I am not protecting him. Although this son is a servant, he is by no means an ordinary servant. Looking at what this son has done in Liaodong, we know that he is a master of killing and decisiveness, and he With great merit and the imperial court, if some things are done too much, even the courtiers will not agree, and even you and your brother will be implicated, so you can do it yourself!"

After hearing Wanli's words, Zheng Guifei couldn't help being stunned. Although Wanli's words were very tactful, the meaning of warning was already very clear.

When did eunuchs become so arrogant?
Concubine Zheng couldn't figure it out, and she didn't believe that a dignified concubine like herself would not be able to deal with a little eunuch who had lost power.

Early the next morning, Wanli convened Fang Congzhe, Minister of the Ministry of Officials Zhao Jizhi, Minister of the Ministry of War Zhang Heming, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment Li Zhi and other important officials to discuss the matter of last night.

Wanli held an enlarged meeting here, and Zheng Guifei, who was still unwilling to give up in the harem, sent her confidant eunuch Li Guang to go to Ye Xun's mansion again to ask for someone. Li Guang was the middle-aged eunuch who called Ye Xun yesterday.

Ye Xun has the habit of getting up early, the yard is big enough, and he has nothing to do, so he asked Kuomur to call the guards over, and then Ye Xun taught them some close combat skills.

Kuomur and others were used to the battlefield atmosphere in Liaodong, and obviously they were not used to such a comfortable life, so under Ye Xun's guidance, everyone practiced very hard.

Before the morning exercise was over, the porter came to report, and there was a man named Yang Lian outside the door begging to see him.

Hearing this name, Ye Xun couldn't help being startled, not only because Yang Lian was a member of the Donglin Party, but also because this guy was a well-known official in the late Ming Dynasty. It can be said that Zhu Changluo and his father could succeed to the throne normally, and he was one of them. played a big role.

But I don't know how he came to the door so early in the morning?
No time to think about it, Ye Xun walked out quickly before he even had time to change his clothes.

Yang Lian, courtesy name Wenru, surname Dahong, 47 years old, a Jinshi in the 35th year of Wanli, is currently serving as the right officer of the Ministry of War.

Unlike other Donglin Party members who talk about harming the country, this is a gentleman who is truly dedicated to the country and the people.

When Ye Xun arrived at the door, he immediately saw a scholar in green shirt standing with his hands behind his back. He clasped his fists and said, "I've heard about Mr. Dahong's reputation for a long time, and I've seen you today. It's really a good fortune for me. Come inside, please. Haven't eaten breakfast yet! Exactly, I haven't eaten either."

As he said that, Ye Xun couldn't help but walk in, pulling the Yang chain.

Ye Xun's extraordinary enthusiasm confuses Yang Lian. In fact, he gradually became famous after Wanli's death. Now he is just an inconspicuous official, but he doesn't know why the famous Eunuch Ye would treat him like this. He is so polite?
Pulled by Ye Xun to the hall, after being pressed on a chair to sit down, Yang Lian finally couldn't help asking: "Dare to ask Eunuch Ye, did we know each other before?"

Ye Xun had already ordered his servants to serve breakfast on the way back. Hearing Yang Lian's words, he couldn't help laughing and said, "Master Yang works in the Ministry of War. I don't call you by your official title, but I call you by your first name. This is not enough to explain the problem." Is it? To be honest, I have admired Mr. Dahong for a long time."

Although Yang Lian is loyal and upright, who wouldn't listen to good words?As Ye Xun said, what Yang Lian is most proud of is not being a great official, but Ye Xun's recognition of his character.

While talking, millet porridge, eggs, and a few light dishes have been brought up one after another by the servants.

"Mr. Dahong laughed. I'm used to eating these things in Liaodong, and I can't change them for a while. If you get used to them, please eat some together."

Ye Xun spoke very frankly, and did not apologize at all for the simplicity of the food.

Little did he know that Ye Xun's move also corrected Yang Lian's character, so he stopped being polite and picked up the porridge bowl and started drinking.

Because he knew Ye Xun's taste and habits, the butler paid special attention to breakfast. The porridge he cooked was extraordinarily sweet, and the side dishes were exquisite and delicious.

Reluctantly put down his rice bowl, and said with a smile: "I know what is delicious after eating the food from Ye Gonggong's house. What a shame! I made Ye Gonggong laugh."

"Ye Mou hates those sanctimonious hypocrites the most. A simple breakfast is enough to prove that Ye Mou is not mistaken."

Hearing Ye Xun's words, Yang Lian was taken aback for a moment, then laughed "haha", pointed at Ye Xun and said, "You bastard, no wonder Jianu can't get a little under your hands, he really is not a normal person, haha. "

Ye Xun touched his nose, smiled wryly and said, "Is there anyone who praises people like Mr. Da Hong?"

Before Ye Xun finished speaking, there was a sound of footsteps, and then someone from the hall said: "Report to Eunuch, Eunuch Li from Kunning Palace said he is coming to pick you up."
