Chongzhen Wiretapping System

Chapter 29
Emperor Chongzhen interrupted him nonchalantly and said, "Learn if you don't know it. No one is born with it!"

Having said this, he paused, and seeing that the four young eunuchs still looked frightened, he said again: "Remember, the principle of handling must be beneficial to me and the people..."

At this time, Wang Cheng'en had just returned, and when he heard these words from Emperor Chongzhen, he was too shocked to speak: What does the emperor mean by this?Could it be that they want to train them to become eunuchs and eunuchs?But... but these few have just left the inner school, they are only fifteen or sixteen-year-old eunuchs, what do they know?

Generally speaking, after graduating from the inner study hall, you have to train as a low-level eunuch in the twelve palace palaces. After a few years of good performance, you will be promoted one level at a time, and finally become a young eunuch or a eunuch. .

Emperor Chongzhen had actually seen Wang Chengen come back, so he ignored him and continued: "...I am Daming, and my interests are the interests of Daming and the interests of the common people. Remember this, and then go to see the cabinet votes." Let’s see if the meaning given by the assistant minister is in line with what I just said. If you think it’s inappropriate, you can write down your thoughts and attach them to the Cabinet Drafting Office, understand?”

After what he said, Lan Tianbao and the others got a little clue.And after the initial shock, there was time to buffer, and the shock eased a little. At this time, they felt ecstasy in their hearts again.

They are not fools, so they naturally know that the emperor is obviously cultivating them, if they can pass the emperor's test, they might be able to reach the sky in one step.Such a great and good thing just appeared in front of your eyes, if you are not ecstatic or excited, it will be strange!Naturally, they are also extremely grateful to the emperor!

So, the four of them took the order one after another, carefully divided the memorial on the imperial case into four parts, and started working on it under the eyes of the emperor.

Emperor Chongzhen stood up from his throne and watched the four of them working there.

To be honest, these four little eunuchs actually have no experience at all in handling government affairs.Emperor Chongzhen had no expectations at all for the outcome of their vote.The reason for doing this can be said to be to train them and give them a signal that they will be reused in the future, making it impossible for them to be bribed by anyone.After all, could the benefits given by others be greater than the emperor's expectations for them?In addition, doing this at this time is also for Wang Chengen to see.

Emperor Chongzhen watched Lan Tianbao and the others read the memorial carefully, then paced slowly in the hall, and at the same time said to Wang Chengen who was by his side: "Do you think what I just said to them makes sense?"

Wang Chengen was shaking in his heart, feeling that the emperor seemed to want to exchange blood in the palace.All of a sudden, what is the reason for doing such a thing?
For a moment, he was a little confused.You know, no matter how smart these four eunuchs are, the age and seniority restrictions make it impossible for them to be qualified for the job of eunuch Bingbi, the supervisor of ceremonies.

Unable to understand, Wang Chengen had no choice but to flatter him and said, "What Your Majesty said is the truth! This servant thinks it is too true!"

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he suddenly stopped, turned around and looked at Wang Chengen and said, "I think all the old people in the palace should understand this truth, right?"

When Wang Chengen heard this, he faintly felt that something was wrong: Could it be that the emperor specially ordered him to serve him today, because he just wanted to say something to him?

Originally, he was not on duty today, but with Emperor Chongzhen's order, the eunuch on duty became him.

Emperor Chongzhen was waiting for him to reply, and Wang Chengen didn't dare to delay, and there was no other answer to the emperor's words, so he could only answer according to his meaning: "I think so!"

However, Emperor Chongzhen seemed to chat unreasonably and did not continue the topic. Instead, he changed the subject and asked Wang Chengen, "Tell me, how do I treat the old people around me?"

The old people he was talking about were naturally those who had been serving by his side before becoming the emperor.For example, Wang Chengen's godfather, Cao Huachun.

To be honest, the original Emperor Chongzhen really had nothing to say to these eunuchs when they were vassal kings.Not to mention all the important positions in the palace, even when he was in conflict with the chief assistant, he believed in the people around him more, which is why Wen Tiren's sad resignation happened.

Don't say that this is the case. Even if it is not the case, it is impossible for Wang Chengen to answer the emperor's question and say that he is not good to the old people in the palace.

Therefore, after receiving his affirmative answer, Emperor Chongzhen suddenly sighed and said: "But, I am good to them, so why do they come to fool and bully me?"

Hearing this, Wang Chengen was startled, and quickly prostrated himself on the ground, not daring to respond to these words.Even Lan Tianbao and the others, who were watching the draft of the memorial, knelt aside in fright.

After all, what Emperor Chongzhen said was too serious. If it is true, it is a crime of deceiving the emperor!Although a large number of people are doing things to deceive the emperor, they haven't made it clear, at least they haven't made it clear.

Seeing their reaction, Emperor Chongzhen just waved at Lan Tianbao and the others to signal them to continue, then looked at Wang Chengen who was lying on the ground and said: "Tang Taizong has a good saying, water can carry a boat and it can also capsize it I believe that the old people in the palace understand this truth, and the old people around me understand it. The old people in the palace must understand what I said to the four of them just now. But how did they do it?"

"I didn't know before. I asked them to write anonymously what they knew yesterday. Then I realized that there are so many things that I can't see. These old people are taking the lead in doing things. Don't they I don’t know, is that digging out the roots of Daming and making the current Daming worse? Could it be that for self-interest, disregarding my interests and Daming’s interests?”

In the twelfth lunar month of winter, Wang Chengen, who was prostrate on the ground, was sweating faintly on his face.He naturally knew about the eight palm-print eunuchs yesterday, but he didn't expect that the eight palm-print eunuchs didn't know the importance and wrote everything on it. Could it be that they wanted to set off a huge wave in the palace?No wonder the emperor doesn't seem to believe anyone now, and he wants to let the eunuch who just left the inner school learn to handle government affairs!
Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly felt a little strange, took a sneak peek, and found that Emperor Chongzhen squatted in front of him without any image, he couldn't help being startled again, and quickly lowered his head.

Emperor Chongzhen looked at him and continued: "I'm gratified that you didn't disappoint me too much! However, there are some things that you should know are serious, but why didn't you tell me? Is it because he is your adoptive father? Is it? Could it be that in your eyes, foster father is more important than me?"

Hearing this, Wang Chengen's sweat immediately flowed down, but he didn't know what those eight people had revealed about Cao Huachun, which made the emperor so angry, so he could only lay down on the ground and said repeatedly: "Damn the slave, damn the slave... ..."

After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen interrupted impatiently: "Okay, stop talking if it's useless, and look up at me!"

When Wang Chengen heard this, he raised his head slowly, and the sweat dripping from his forehead was obvious.There was already a look of fear in his eyes.

"You don't have to be afraid!" Emperor Chongzhen patted his head with his hand, still with a little anger on his face, "Since I told you this, I just want to give you a chance. I believe that you are still loyal to me!"

Historical events have proven that Wang Chengen was indeed loyal to Emperor Chongzhen.But this does not mean that he will not do some illegal things behind Emperor Chongzhen's back.

Hearing Emperor Chongzhen's words, Wang Chengen was slightly relieved and quickly replied: "Your Majesty is wise, and the loyalty of this servant to Your Majesty can be learned from heaven and earth!"

"Okay, in this case, I will give you a chance!" Emperor Chongzhen said, stood up, and started pacing in the hall again, and at the same time said, "Tell me about Cao Daban's affairs, such as accepting the foreign court. Regarding the matter of filial piety, let me see if your loyalty to me will exceed your loyalty to your adoptive father!"

In fact, the Emperor Chongzhen's affair with Cao Huachun came from the accusation made by Xue Guoguan against the factory guard that day, and the fact that Cao Huachun accepted Yang Sichang's filial piety from the wiretapping system.More specifically, the original Emperor Chongzhen didn't know it at all, and neither did he.

However, Wang Chengen didn't know. He thought that one of the eight eunuchs had already told the emperor about Cao Huachun. Otherwise, how could the emperor know about Cao Huachun's filial piety?

Thinking about it, some things seem to be somewhat similar to what happened when the emperor discovered the inner study hall. It's no wonder that the eunuchs with palm prints would expose this matter.Comparing the inside and outside, the emperor will definitely not care about such a trivial matter in the inner study hall anymore.

Therefore, at this moment, Wang Chengen had no choice but to start with what Emperor Chongzhen had pointed out.It's okay not to say this, but when he said it, Emperor Chongzhen was shocked immediately.He didn't expect that the officials were so corrupt!
