Chongzhen Wiretapping System

Chapter 9

The rules in the palace are to select a group of potential eunuchs who are about ten years old from the eunuchs who have just entered the palace to study in the inner library.The instructors are Hanlin officials, usually four people.The current batch has been studying for a long time and is about to graduate.

Based on their experience, not to mention seeing Emperor Chongzhen, even the eunuchs with the palm prints of the twelve eunuchs basically couldn't see them.It is also possible to see one or two only when they are about to graduate from Neishutang and when the prisons are about to select candidates.

At this time, no matter whether they had seen Emperor Chongzhen before or not, they could understand who was standing in front of them just by looking at the clothes of Emperor Chongzhen and the eunuchs and maids serving behind him!
Suddenly, it was like a thunderbolt struck from the sky, everyone was frightened, and they all knelt down together and lay there, not daring to move.In other words, there are still a few people moving, but they are shaking a little, but this is out of control and there is nothing they can do about it.

Obviously, they all knew that Emperor Chongzhen must have been standing outside the house for a long time, at least he didn't look like he just arrived.That is to say, there is a high probability that the emperor knows what happened in the house just now.

Thinking of this, more people trembled there.

Emperor Chongzhen looked at these young eunuchs in the inner study hall, kneeling from in front of him to the inside of the room, but did not speak immediately.

I looked down for a while, and it was already daylight, so I could see clearly.According to what he heard before, Emperor Chongzhen roughly distinguished two factions from the clothes of the kneeling eunuch.

From what he just heard, he also got some other useful information.That is, someone outside the palace will invest in some potential eggless people in their opinion, help them enter the palace, and climb up in the palace.This kind of person can be punished!After I grasp the situation in the palace, I must thoroughly investigate it!
Thinking this way, after a while, Emperor Chongzhen asked lightly: "Where is Chen Baoting?"

The one who almost bumped into Emperor Chongzhen just now was also the one kneeling at the front. He was relatively strong and quickly replied with a little fear: "My slave is here!"

These eunuchs, although they have already taught what should be taught, but after all, they have never seen the world, and facing their heaven, it is abnormal not to be afraid.

Emperor Chongzhen looked down at him and said, "You and that Lan Tianbao, and those who have not been selected into the prisons, all follow me!"

After speaking, Emperor Chongzhen turned and left, very satisfied.

This time, I still have a lot to gain.The key to this is that others don't know their own existence, so they say things that they can't normally hear and see things that they can't usually see.

From this point of view, my own wiretapping system can just meet this condition, and I can get more information that I don't know.It can be seen from this that his golden finger is really good, and it is very worth looking forward to bringing enough information to himself in the future.

Thinking this way, Emperor Chongzhen had already made a decision in his mind.In the future, I will use these few people to serve by my side, and I will personally train them.When they get older and experience more, let them take on more responsibilities!
After all, these eunuchs were leftovers from various forces in the palace.From a practical perspective, they are the losers in the palace clique.Therefore, they will be independent of the forces currently in the palace.I gave them a chance and trained them well. Even if it was for their future benefit, I could only listen to myself.

Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen turned and left, and at the same time said lightly: "Do things practically and learn with your heart. It is useful at any time!"

Hearing the emperor's words, Chen Baoting and the others were pleasantly surprised, more joyful than being hit by a gold ingot falling from the sky.Because from these words, it can be clearly known that the emperor is appreciative of the few of them, and it is absolutely good to take them away.

So, he immediately fell on the ground and responded loudly with joy: "Your servant obeys the order!"

When he stood up, he saw that among the kneeling classmates, they either looked as pale as dead people, or looked expectant, all showing that kind of pitiful ingratiating expression, expecting Chen Baoting to choose him.

At this time, Chen Baoting didn't dare to act for his own benefit, and he hadn't learned how to act for his own benefit, so he quickly ordered the eunuchs together, including himself, a total of eight eunuchs, and then walked away arrogantly.

Emperor Chongzhen did not deal with the remaining kneeling eunuchs in Neishutang immediately.As a leader, you can't just rush ahead and be a villain.On the contrary, leaders are good. If something bad happens, it must be done by someone under him.

The so-called "the emperor is good, but there are traitors" is not just talking.Because once this understanding is not there, the foundation of the emperor's rule will be shaken.Therefore, the emperor must be good. If it is not good, it is because of treacherous officials.

Therefore, there is no need for the emperor to deal with these little eunuchs in person.It won't take long, today's matter will definitely spread throughout the palace soon.The eunuchs in charge of the seals, as long as there is something involved in this internal decision, as long as they have some insight, they will definitely take the initiative to make arrangements for this matter, and then come to the emperor to plead guilty.

Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen had already made a decision in his heart. He would take this opportunity to reorganize the inner palace, try to standardize the inner palace, and remove people with impure thoughts.But what to do needs to be carefully considered.

When he was thinking about how to reorganize the inner palace and ensure his own safety, far away in Julu, Hebei Province, in the meeting hall, Lu Xiangsheng, the minister of the Ministry of War of the Ming Dynasty, was a little haggard, but he still managed to keep his spirits up and asked in a loud voice: "Where is Chief Yang? "

"The next official is here!" A middle-aged official in his 30s heard it and immediately responded.

He is Yang Tinglin, the head of the Ministry of War, and also the main combat faction of Ming Dynasty. Because he wrote a letter to impeach Yang Sichang, he was instead sent by Yang Sichang to serve as a military counselor under Lu Xiangsheng's command.Although the official position was promoted by one level, he left the capital and was thrown into the army that was destined to be wiped out by the Qing Dynasty.

In the original history, he has always been a staunch advocate of war, with Wen Tianxiang as an example.In this battle, Lu Xiangsheng died in battle. He escaped by luck and did not change his position.After the fall of the capital, he was appointed Minister of the Ministry of War by Emperor Longwu, continued to fight against the Qing Dynasty, and finally lost the army and threw himself into the water to die for the country.

At this time, Lu Xiangsheng looked at him and ordered solemnly: "The army is short of food, you go to the senior director to ask for military food, and take a letter from the official to plan a war together to defeat the Manchu army!"

"Yes!" Yang Tinglin was in charge of money and food in Lu Xiang's army, so this was his duty.However, in terms of military pay, it was originally provided by the governor Zhang Qiping, but the governor said he had no money and could not provide it, so the money was cut off; and the food and grass were with the director and had not been allocated for many days. Therefore, Lu Xiangsheng had to send He went to urge.

After Yang Tinglin received the order, he thought that there were only 5000 troops in the army, and this was not Lu Xiangsheng's headquarters, that is, the Tianxiong Army who had been fighting with him all the time, but Yang Guozhu and Hu Dawei. subordinate.He felt that what Lu Xiangsheng said about fighting for a war was a bit dangerous, so he wanted to speak up.

However, Lu Xiangsheng didn't give him a chance, and shouted coldly: "Go!"

When Yang Tinglin heard this, he had no choice but to go immediately.

As soon as he left, Lu Xiangsheng looked at the two generals under him and sighed in his heart.Previously, he had assigned [-] troops to his side.But then, his headquarters Tianxiong Army was transferred by Gao Qiqian, Datong Commander-in-Chief Wang Pu made an excuse that there was a Manchu Qing army in Yunjin, so he led the troops away privately.

In fact, Lu Xiangsheng knew exactly what was going on.That Wang Pu saw that Lu Xiangsheng was demoted and transferred to the army, and felt that if he fought against the Manchu Qing army again, he would be asking for his own death, so he made an excuse and ran away regardless.

It must be because I feel that I can't settle accounts with him afterwards, hehe, it's really bullying by dogs!Lu Xiangsheng sneered in his heart, but he was somewhat sad, the state affairs were like this, he could only fight with his best, and serve the country and defend the people with all his loyalty!

He naturally didn't know that in the original history, Wang Pu was a famous fleeing general. Whenever he encountered a war, he would flee first, and he cheated Lu Xiangsheng and Hong Chengchou.However, it didn't end well in the end, and was beheaded by Emperor Chongzhen.Of course, the biggest reason is that he doesn't have a backer like Wu Sangui, otherwise, he would be as immortal as Wu Sangui who also escaped and trapped Hong Chengchou.

"Everyone, it's not the time to care about every detail when the country is in crisis." Lu Xiangsheng looked at the generals below and said, "I have ordered Master Yang to ask for food. You should appease and deploy, and bear with it. I will also be with the generals, nothing special Of!"

He usually leads by example, and the governor and servant who are dignified scholars and ordinary soldiers eat whatever they eat.This approach of his really moved his subordinates, and they were willing to die for him!Therefore, after he said it, even though he knew that the military situation was not optimistic, the generals still responded with clasped fists, expressing that there was no problem.

However, things did not develop as Lu Xiangsheng thought, and the situation was getting worse and worse.
