Chongzhen Wiretapping System

Chapter 15 There is a way

Under the night, in the Forbidden City, Emperor Chongzhen looked down from his throne, watching Lan Tianbao and three servants "accompanying" the old fritters who had finished writing the confession. The eight anonymous confessions that came up.

Outside the main hall, the cold wind was whistling, and inside the main hall, there was a "crackling" sound, and occasionally there was the sound of burning wicks.Other than that, there was basically no sound.

Chen Baoting and other four servants stood with their hands down, waiting in the hall, quietly waiting for the emperor's order.

They have learned a lot today!
Usually, for them, the high-ranking eunuchs in charge of the supervisors were frozen outside for an hour, and then the emperor asked them to do whatever they wanted, at least on the surface, they were as obedient as sheep.

At this moment, they realized deeply that in this palace, there is only one real tiger, and the others are just paper tigers!

It is a great opportunity for me to be appreciated by the emperor and to serve the emperor directly from the inner study hall. No matter what, I must firmly grasp this opportunity bestowed by heaven!
When they were thinking about it, they suddenly heard Emperor Chongzhen sneer and whispered to himself: "Hehe, it really is a bunch of old fried dough sticks!"

Hearing this vaguely, Chen Baoting and the others immediately held their breaths, not daring to make any sound that would distract the emperor's attention.

After finishing speaking, Emperor Chongzhen on the throne threw away the confession in his hand and shook his head.I can be regarded as suddenly isolating them and not giving them a chance to discuss, but the confessions made by each of them are all about avoiding the important things.

Speaking of which, he was still fooling himself.A very simple thing is enough to show that these palm print eunuchs did not write down all the illegal things in the palace that they knew.

For example, Emperor Chongzhen didn't believe that Xue Guoguan, the assistant minister of the cabinet, knew about the problems in the East Factory. Wouldn't these eunuchs who were in charge of the palace know?However, none of the eight palm eunuchs mentioned this matter.Obviously, if this matter is revealed, it is likely to involve them in serious matters!
The officialdom in the late Ming Dynasty was rotten!At the same time, in fact, the officialdom in the palace is already rotten.They cover each other, they can make a look, even without using a look, they can team up to deceive the emperor.

Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help sneering.

If this is the case, for the original Emperor Chongzhen, he has no way to break it, and the current Emperor Chongzhen has a lot of ways to break the situation.

For example, use today's anonymous reporting method, and then expand it to the eunuchs at the next level, or even the eunuchs at the bottom, and the servants.With so many people in the palace, there must be someone who would reveal the matter to the emperor anonymously.

But in this way, Emperor Chongzhen's experience in his previous life told him that if he really wanted to do this, people in the palace would be panic-stricken, and it would involve too many aspects, and there might be unexpected things happening and a difficult situation to deal with.

There is some truth in the saying that the law does not blame the public.The attack surface must be reduced within a controllable range, so as not to cause a full-scale rebound.

Forget it, this time, let's use this matter to deal with Cao Huachun's matter first.

Emperor Chongzhen thought of this, so he opened his mouth and said: "Come on, throw these on fire!"

The sound was a bit loud, and it could be faintly heard outside the hall.The eight palm print eunuchs waiting at the gate of the palace looked at each other and seemed a little surprised.They wondered that the emperor made them write a confession so aggressively, and then burned it easily?Shouldn't these confessions be dealt with?
Suspicious in his heart, and because the four servants who had just come out of the inner study hall were watching from the side, it was not easy to ask each other about the situation, so they could only wait quietly.

After a while, the emperor walked out of the palace, obviously going to have a meal.

Seeing the eight eunuchs with palm prints at the door, Emperor Chongzhen smiled and said, "As expected of my confidants, I can report such an important situation. As long as the situation is true, and I don't know who made the report, I will pardon all eight of you. Don't worry, I will pursue it."

After speaking, he turned and left.

When the eight palm print eunuchs heard this, they realized that they were also smart people, but they didn't know whether to thank them or deny it.

By thanking him, wouldn't it mean to others that he was the one who reported the important situation mentioned by the emperor?Then who was it that the emperor asked to write anonymously and burned the confession book to find out what could not be investigated at once?

Some people will be punished in the future, as long as they don't die, there is still a chance to stand up, or if they are only verbally punished, the ensuing revenge must be very severe, which is not what any of them want to see.

But if you deny your writing without thanking you, wouldn't you be telling the emperor that you didn't report that important situation by yourself.Looking back, if it was related to me and I concealed it, it would not be as simple as losing the grace!

Faced with a dilemma, the eight of them, worthy of being palace veterans, unexpectedly bowed together to express their gratitude.This way, everything remains anonymous.

Emperor Chongzhen, who had already left, heard the neat sound of thanking him from behind, and the corner of his mouth curled up slightly, showing a trace of disdain.Even if all of you are monkey spirits, then I am that Tathagata Buddha, let's see how you find out my Wuzhishan!
Putting this matter behind him and looking up at the half moon in the sky, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help thinking of Lu Xiangsheng again.In the past half a day, he sorted out his memories about Lu Xiangsheng, and found that some of the suggestions Lu Xiangsheng had made before were very good suggestions.It's a pity that it offended the interests of those with vested interests, and it was not promoted and persisted by the original Emperor Chongzhen.Otherwise, at least Emperor Chongzhen would not hang himself!
Thinking of this, he desperately hoped that Lu Xiangsheng would be fine.Looking up at the moon, I thought to myself: I don't know about my previous efforts, did I save him?I hope God will bless you, don't let yourself lose a really useful talent!
Emperor Chongzhen naturally didn't know that at this time, there were also people who were desperately working hard to save Lu Xiangsheng!

The sound of horseshoes in a hurry, even in Jize City, did not slow down in the slightest.In the former county government office, now at the gate of Xingyuan, the director general, the captain on duty saw that the speed of the three cavalry was not slowing down, he couldn't help but frowned, and waved his hands to be stopped.

However, the speed of these three riders was so fast that they arrived in the blink of an eye.

The neighing sound of "咴咴咴" sounded, and the war horse stopped suddenly in pain and stood up with its front hooves.

The knight on horseback rolled off the saddle almost at the same time and fell to the ground.Seeing the other two knights behind him, they hurriedly got off their horses and tried to rush over to give him a hand.

But the man had already gotten up from the ground. Without standing firm, he stumbled towards the door. At the same time, he puffed out white air and said loudly: "The lower official is Yang Tinglin, the staff director of the Ministry of War. I have urgent military information and I want to see the director!"

Hearing this and seeing the embarrassment of this civil servant, the school captain at the gate couldn't help being taken aback.Then he came back to his senses, without any hesitation, stepped forward to stop him and said: "The director has already rested, no one is seeing any customers!"

When Yang Tinglin heard this, he stood up and took a closer look, and found that it was not the captain during the day.But at this moment, he didn't care about these things, and yelled loudly: "It's an urgent military situation, the officer must meet with the director, please pass it on!"

Remembering that the fellow on duty during the day was reprimanded by the director, the lieutenant immediately shook his head and replied: "It's already dark at this time, and there are no visitors! Otherwise, it will affect the director's handling of military affairs tomorrow, and no one can afford this responsibility!"

In fact, Gao Qiqian had already explained that everything related to Lu Xiangsheng was blocked.As for Yang Tinglin who came here during the day, they naturally knew what he was coming for, so naturally they blocked him from seeing him.

Yang Tinglin had made up his mind to come here, but when he heard it now, he was willing to give up, his eyes widened with anger, and he went all out.

　Starting today, there are two updates every day, at 7:00 am and 5:00 pm, which is the same as the basic update of old books.

　　In addition, thank Zhang Shihao for the reward of 1000 starting coins, thank you for rejecting the dead liar for the reward of 500 starting coins, and thank you Xiaoxiong for the reward!
