Chongzhen and I became partners

Chapter 34 The Great Earthquake

That night, Emperor Chongzhen went to bed very late again.

But for this, people in the palace are actually used to it.

To their surprise, Concubine Tian Guifei started to eat from that night onwards, and she no longer lay on the bed.

As for the reason, according to rumors from people around Concubine Tian, ​​Her Majesty cured Concubine Tian's illness with the treasure bestowed by the Taizu.

In this regard, many court ladies and servants began to believe that Emperor Chongzhen really had the treasure bestowed by the Taizu.Because there are various abnormal noises, many people have heard them faintly.

Before they had time to gossip about this matter, the next morning, a "big earthquake" occurred in the palace.

Wang Chengen, the admiral of the West Factory, led his men to arrest the eunuch Wang Zhixin, the eunuch of the Royal Horse Supervisor, the eunuch of the Shangshan Supervisor, and several other eunuchs. Afterwards, the emperor appointed Fang Zhenghua, Gao Shiming, Li Fengxiang, Chu Xianzhang, and Zhang Guoyuan, who were not well-known before, as the eunuchs. Handprint eunuchs of several of the most important positions among the twelve prisons in the palace.

These new palm seal eunuchs immediately appointed their cronies, and began interrogation of the cronies who had been captured by the palm seal eunuchs.

In addition, Emperor Chongzhen ordered the concubines to rectify their respective affiliations and strictly enforce the palace rules.Even the Prince's Mansion did not avoid it.

The scale of this sudden personnel change was unprecedented in the Chongzhen Dynasty, and it can even be said that it was rare in the entire Ming Dynasty.

After the officials of the foreign court heard about it, they were all very shocked, wondering what Emperor Chongzhen was going to do?
However, Emperor Chongzhen was dealing with the inner palace, and the officials of the outer court couldn't control it. He could only inquire about the news as much as possible to see what happened?
Soon, they received news. It is said that Emperor Chongzhen received a secret report saying that the eunuchs with palm prints in the palace had made a lot of money, but the donation this time should be regarded as fundraising. .

Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen was furious and arrested them all!

After hearing that this was the reason, the officials of the Outer Court had different thoughts!

Some of them, especially the miserly ones, start to worry too.

Because the stingy people in the inner court were arrested, Chen Yan, the minister of the household department in the outer court, and the scholar of Wuyingdian, was also arrested by Dongchang.Although it was because he offended the emperor, one of the reasons was not that he was stingy, so he wanted to check his family background?

For this situation, those who pay more, or relatively more, have the mentality of watching a movie.

They are not worried, and even a little gloating, who made those people so stingy?Among them, there is Jiading Bo Zhou Kui.

In fact, he knew the most in his heart, how angry the Emperor Chongzhen would be with stingy people!At that time in the harem, he was almost scared to pee!
Some people, based on what happened, also speculated that Emperor Chongzhen's re-establishment of the West Factory was not to deal with them, but to deal with the palace.

Look, Luo Yangxing, the commander of Jinyiwei, was arrested before, and now so many eunuchs in the palace have been arrested.

In this way, they were a little less worried about Xichang.

Of course, it is impossible not to worry.Because they are also afraid, Xichang seems to be very strong now, will it start to deal with the outer court after dealing with the palace?

When their attention was focused on this matter, Emperor Chongzhen used another [-] miles to rush and summon Zuo Maodi, the governor of the water transport, to return to Beijing immediately.In addition, a secret decree was sent to Du Yinxi, the magistrate of Changsha, ordering him to recruit Xiaoyuan Ying according to the order, and bring Xiao Yuanying back to the capital.

After finishing all this work, Emperor Chongzhen contacted Liu Weichao with two panda eyes, according to his new habit, and wanted to tell Liu Weichao what he had done.

As a result, when Liu Weichao saw his appearance, he opened his mouth first and said, "Why, you were a night owl again last night? Look at your two panda eyes, you can't do this, you may die suddenly after a long time!"

"..." His words made Emperor Chongzhen hold back all the words in his heart, as if he was hit in the head.

"The body is the capital of Zhongxing Daming, you have to pay attention to it!" Liu Weichao reminded him.

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he came back to his senses, nodded quickly and said: "I know, next time I must be careful not to stay up late!"

Speaking of this, he showed gratitude, and said to Liu Weichao: "Thank you very much, now my concubine has begun to return to normal. If it weren't for you, if I lost her, I really don't know how sad I would be! "

"It's just a little thing, I'm very happy to be able to help!" Liu Weichao said with a smile after hearing this.

After talking here, Emperor Chongzhen asked with a little curiosity: "I have been in touch with you for so long, and it seems that I have never seen my siblings, nor your children."

Liu Weichao was taken aback for a moment, and before he recovered, he heard Emperor Chongzhen continue to say: "By the way, you also said that you rented a house with others. It seems that this house is not very big, isn't it? convenient?"

Liu Weichao heard this, and said dumbfoundedly: "Where are you and where are you? I just graduated a little over a year ago, where did my wife and children come from?"

Saying this, I added something in my heart: "I don't even have a girlfriend yet!"

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he was very surprised, and immediately asked: "What's the matter? I see that you are not too young! At your age, I have several sons and daughters!"

"..." Liu Weichao was speechless.

He has been attacking Emperor Chongzhen all along.Unexpectedly, this time, it turned out that he was hit by Emperor Chongzhen!
Thinking of this, he smiled wryly and said: "The times are different! In our era, 18 years old is considered an adult, and we can get married! Moreover, we have to study since childhood, until we graduate from university, before we graduate from university. Most of them are unmarried! Focus on studies!"

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he felt a little unimaginable, and immediately said: "Marriage and studying are not contradictory. After getting married, can't you stop studying? There are three unfilial acts, and the greatest thing is to have no descendants!"

"..." At this moment, Liu Weichao felt that there was a big generation gap with Emperor Chongzhen.

After thinking for a while, he said to Emperor Chongzhen: "I probably know that many children died in your era, so you have to have children early to see how many you can support, right?"

After a pause, seeing Emperor Chongzhen showing a little surprised expression, he went on to say: "But my era is different. As long as you are born, basically there will be no premature death. In the past, the court only It was stipulated that we could only have one child, but now there is no such requirement.”

"..." This time, it was Emperor Chongzhen's turn to be speechless.

After a while, he finally realized, and said in disbelief: "How is it possible, I have already lost several children, and none of you died at that time? Also, your court still has to control whether you can Sex?"

When he thought about it, he felt a little unbelievable!
