Great Eunuch of the Ming Dynasty

"Where is the blood book? Show it to me!" Zhu Zhanji said expressionlessly.

"To my lord, the blood book is still in the hands of the Central Plains Escorts. In order to show that I did not act as a ghost in the middle, I did not open the envelope, so I let the bodyguards of the Central Plains Escorts wait outside the Fengtian Gate. The Supreme can summon them at any time." Xing Enbin said with a serious face.

"Yang Shoufu, does Jiangnan have any stories about the injustice of the people?" Zhu Zhanji heard the words, turned to look at Yang Rong, the chief minister of the cabinet, who was standing at the front of the civil service team, and asked.

"Qizou Supreme, the cabinet has not received any news or memorials about the injustice of the people in the south of the Yangtze River." Yang Rong glanced at Xing Enbin, and said to Zhu Zhanji.

"Xuan Zhongyuan Escort Bureau Escorts go to the palace!" Zhu Zhanji said.

"My lord said that the escorts of the Central Plains Escorts will go to the palace!" Li Daban shouted.

"The Supreme One declares that the bodyguards of the Central Plains Escort Bureau are going to the palace!" The eunuchs and eunuchs below kept shouting one after another until they reached outside the Fengtian Gate.

A young eunuch outside the Fengtian Gate said to the three sisters of the Zhao family and Sima Wuqing to Ouyang Wudi: "The Supreme Master announces that some young heroes will go to the hall to meet the Supreme Master. Please leave the weapons to our family for safekeeping."

Zhao Yazhi nodded, and said: "It should, it should." Saying this, he handed the long sword in his hand to the little eunuch.

The other four also handed over their weapons to the little eunuch.

"Let's go, the exciting moment has finally arrived. It's a pity that the third brother-in-law has a stomachache, otherwise I can meet the Supreme." Zhao Yazhi said regretfully.

"I don't know why my husband ate badly last night. In order to prevent losing my composure in front of the Supreme, I didn't let him come with me. After all, you will be beheaded if you lose your dignity before." Zhao Yalu said.

Seeing the three sisters who were talking and laughing, Sima Wuqing and Ouyang Wudi looked at each other with unbearable expressions in their eyes. Unfortunately, there are some things that they cannot stop, and they have to strictly implement the orders issued by their superiors.

Everyone came to the Fengtian Gate, and followed the etiquette taught by the little eunuch, knelt down on the ground towards Zhu Zhanji, who was aloof, and shouted: "Long live the Supreme! Long live! Long live!"

Feeling the coercion of the superiors from above the court, the Central Plains Escort Bureau lowered their heads and did not dare to look casually, for fear of offending Tianyan.

"Pingshen!" Zhu Zhanji looked at the three sisters with great interest and said.

"Thank you Supreme!" The three stood up and said.

"Raise your head and let me see! Let me see the legendary heroes who went through all kinds of hardships and obstacles to escort the blood book to the capital." Zhu Zhanji laughed.

The three of Zhao Yazhi raised their heads slightly, their eyes secretly turned upwards, and saw the legendary Supreme.

I didn't expect Zhizun to be so young and handsome.Zhao Yazhi regretted why she didn't give birth a few years later. In that case, she might be able to become the supreme confidante by virtue of her appearance.

Zhao Yadi was slightly stunned, is this the legendary Supreme?Is the ruler of the Ming Dynasty going to deal with the great eunuch Wang Zhen soon?What should I do after my vengeance is avenged?I want to stay away from my elder sister and third younger sister, and even more so from that devil, the third younger brother-in-law Wei Zhongxian!That bastard in human skin!

Zhao Yalu felt that although Supreme was full of majesty, he was not as good-looking as her husband. In her heart, only her husband Wei Zhongxian was the most perfect.

Zhu Zhanji saw three beauties with different styles, and his eyes lit up. Zhu Zhanji, who is used to eating delicacies from mountains and seas, was also a little moved when he saw delicious snacks. Appreciating the beauties of the three of them, but it didn't shake his mentality of being a superior.

"Xing Enbin, the censor of Zuodu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, said that you were entrusted by the wronged people in the south of the Yangtze River to escort a blood letter to the capital to appeal for grievances. Is there such a thing?" Zhu Zhanji asked.

"Reporting to the Supreme, it is true! The people in the south of the Yangtze River have been suffering for a long time, the governor of Jiubian guarding the eunuch, and the admiral of the East Factory, Wang Zhen! Because Wang Zhen collected taxes at sea, many goods were squeezed into piles, and the largest silk factory in the south of the Yangtze River closed down! Factory manager Huang He took his sister-in-law and threw himself into the river. Before committing suicide, he shouted: Wang Zhen, you are not human! You pay me back my hard-earned money! Escorted by the Central Plains Escort." Zhao Yazhi spoke emotionally about how the people in the south of the Yangtze River hated Wang Zhen.

Emphasis was placed on the matter of competing for profit with the people, as if the people in the south of the Yangtze River would rebel if the supreme ruler did not punish Wang Zhen.

"Where is the blood book? Present it!" Zhu Zhanji said with a gloomy expression.

Zhao Yazhi couldn't help but lamented that what was said in the play was indeed true, accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger, just now she was smiling all over her face, but now her face is drooping, it stinks to death.

Seeing that the supreme Zhu Zhanji was angry, the ministers of Xing Enbin's line were all overjoyed, as if Zhu Zhanji's gloomy face was the dawn of their victory.

Zhao Yazhi took out the blood book from her bosom, and handed it to the little eunuch with both hands respectfully. The little eunuch ran all the way to Li Daban's side, and handed it to Li Daban.

"Read!" Zhu Zhanji said coldly.

Li Daban reached out and tore off the sealing paint on the envelope, and then took out the blood book inside the envelope, and saw that it was covered with bloody fingerprints, densely covering the entire back of the letter paper.

"Master Qingtian in the city of Beijing has personally sent it, and the people in the south of the Yangtze River have suffered from Enbin for a long time!" Li Daban read.

"Wow!!!" All the civil and military officials in the court were in an uproar. This is simply not following the routine. What about the impeachment of the great eunuch Wang Zhen?Why did the target become Xing Enbin on his side?

Xing Enbin stood there blankly, suddenly stunned, his mind went blank, and he didn't know how to express his astonishment.

"A group of rich merchants, led by the Xisen Chamber of Commerce, monopolize the purchase of porcelain and silk at low prices, and then transport them by sea to foreign countries to earn high-end profits. Because of tax evasion and tax evasion, it is difficult to collect taxes locally, so they can only apportion the tax from the imperial court to the farmers. In the first place, the output of the second-class fields is low, and the first-class fields are either owned by vassal princes or rich families and scholars. As a result, taxes can only be collected from these bitter people. A group of gangsters headed by Shi Xing Enbin are covering up for the wealthy businessmen, causing the common people to have nowhere to file complaints, so they can only use this trick to paralyze them in the name of suing Wang Zhen, so that the blood books can enter Beijing smoothly." Li Daban implied The sound of internal force spread throughout Fengtianmen, which surprised all civil and military officials.

"Xing Enbin! Can this happen?" Zhu Zhanji shouted angrily.

"Supreme! Wronged! This, this must be the Central Plains Escort who was bought by Wang Zhen! The blood book was lost!" Xing Enbin fell to his knees with a "plop" and said with a look of injustice.

"Hmph! How dare you speak so hard! Do you think I don't know about those things of yours? I just pretended not to see you when you were serious about what you do. Who would have thought that you would be remotely controlled by a few businessmen? Commander, willing to be a running dog of a businessman, when did a scholar full of knowledge become the spokesperson of a businessman!" Zhu Zhanji said with a livid face.

"I'm wronged! Your Majesty!" Xing Enbin winked at Cai Yukun while speaking.

Cai Yukun understood immediately, and went out to pay homage: "My lord, please find out the truth and return Mr. Xing's innocence!"

Seeing that Cai Yukun had come out, the officials of Xing Enbin's line also came out one after another, and bowed to the supreme Zhu Zhanji: "I ask the supreme to find out the truth and return Mr. Xing's innocence!"

Zhu Zhanji knew that some people in the court were bought by Jiangnan businessmen, but he never expected that there were so many people, and there were several generals. Thinking of some things Wang Zhen said, Zhu Zhanji knew that he had underestimated them The businessman is powerful, just as Wang Zhen said, the businessman is better for cutting leeks.

"Hehe, you are not convinced, right? Then I will convince you to take it away!" Zhu Zhanji sneered: "The governor of Xuan Jiubian guards the eunuch, and the admiral of Dongchang Wang Zhen!"

"The supreme lord said: Xuanjiu Bian Governor guarding the eunuch, and Dongchang Admiral Wang Zhen!" Li Daban shouted.

"Supreme said: Governor Xuanjiu is guarding the eunuchs, and Admiral Wang Zhen of Dongchang!" The junior eunuchs who were in charge of ceremonies below shouted one after another until they reached outside Fengtian Gate.

Zhao Yazhi's three sisters wanted to know what this villainous enemy Wang Zhen looked like when they heard the words, they all turned their heads and looked outside Fengtian Gate.

I saw a handsome young man in a python robe walking over. When the three sisters of the Zhao family saw the handsome young man's face clearly, the expressions on his face could be said to be very rich, even distorted.

"Husband! Husband! Woohoo!" Zhao Yalu shouted subconsciously, but before she could make a sound, Zhao Yadi covered her mouth, for fear that she would startle Sheng Jia by making a sound.

"Slave servant Nine Frontier Governor guarding the eunuch, Dongchang admiral Wang Zhen kowtowed to the Supreme, long live the Supreme! Long live! Long live!" Wang Zhen knelt down and kowtowed to the Supreme Zhu Zhanji who was sitting on the dragon chair, and shouted loudly.

"Get up!" Zhu Zhanji said.As for his own domestic slaves, as the Supreme, there is no need to have too many customs with eunuchs.

"Thank you, Supreme!" Wang Zhen stood there tall and straight behind him, glanced at the Central Plains Escort and the group calmly, and did not speak.

"Have the crimes of Xing Enbin, Zuodu censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate been mastered? Announce it, let these beasts in clothes take a look at it, and think it's a seamless thing, but it's a pity that the Skynet is full of carelessness. To be a corrupt official, there must be a crime." Look like a corrupt official." Zhu Zhanji said angrily.

Hearing this, Wang Zhen took out a volume from his bosom, opened it, and read aloud: "Xing Enbin, a member of Jinling Yuhuatai, was cultivated by Xisen Chamber of Commerce since he was a child until he succeeded in the imperial examination. After becoming an official, he took the platform of Xisen Chamber of Commerce as a cover. According to the intelligence of Jinyiwei secret agents, Xing Enbin received a bonus of up to 10 taels of silver from the Xisen Chamber of Commerce every year. Cai Yukun and other officials also received dividends of no less than 10 taels of silver from other chambers of commerce. Every year, many tenants and manual workers were killed by these The big businessmen oppressed selling their sons and daughters. They couldn’t survive, so they could only rise up and resist. However, because of the collusion between the government and businessmen, any resistance of the common people was useless. They could only write blood books to paralyze them. .”

"Wow!!!" All the civil and military officials above the court were in an uproar.

The ministers are so angry!It is well known that the salary of the Ming Dynasty was extremely low, and some people did not hesitate to devote themselves to Jiuda Border Town to be the lackey of the great eunuch Wang Zhen in order to earn more money, just to enjoy some benefits in a dignified way, and to be an official for thousands of miles is only for money , but scholars pay attention to a gentleman's magnanimity, and officials supported by big businessmen represented by Xing Enbin and Cai Yukun are simply a disgrace to scholars!The most important thing is to get so many bonuses every year, which makes these ministers a little envious and jealous.

"The evidence is so, what else do you have to say?" Zhu Zhanji asked.

"Please forgive me! Please forgive me!" Xing Enbin looked at Zhu Zhanji's eyes full of murderous intent, and all the manuscripts in his stomach disappeared, so he could only kowtow and beg for mercy.
