I'm really not the carpenter emperor

"This is all because of the trust of my colleagues. This time, the emperor has accepted our advice, and the land of Huaibei will be exempted from taxation for three years. How happy the people are!"

"It's all thanks to Yang Gong's high righteousness!" Everyone bowed their hands in return.

At this time, a doorman ran over in a panic, and said to everyone in the hall: "The emperor summoned Liu Qiao, the governor of Jinyiwei, this morning!"

Hearing this, all the officials gasped.

Mentioning the name Liu Qiao, many of the Donglin bigwigs present may not know it yet, but the title of Captain of Jinyiwei is very familiar to them.

This is not a good sign!

Zhu Youxiao succeeded in ascending the throne and showed his intention to make concessions in the early court. The Donglin party members thought it was a success, and the next step was to set fire to get rid of the scourge of Xi Li Xuanshi.

But before they could do anything, the most feared thing happened. Jin Yiwei, who had not been favored for many years, was suddenly summoned by the emperor.

I don't know what Zhu Youxiao and Jinyiwei Governor Liu Qiao said, but in the eyes of the Donglin Party, it must not be a good thing!

Thinking of this, the main hall of Yang's Mansion, where Yan Yan was just laughing at, suddenly became completely silent and exempted from paying taxes for three years. Now, it seems that it is more like a meaningful move by the young emperor.

Ye Xianggao, the leader of Donglin, was silent for a while, then suddenly said: "All of you will write the memorial tonight and recommend Wang An as the eunuch in charge of the ceremonies. After he takes office, go and ask him what the emperor and Liu Qiao said in Qianqing Palace."

Yang Lian had an epiphany, cupped his hands and said, "Grand Ye sees you!"

Chapter 8 Close the door, let Lao Wei go!

Every morning at three o'clock, I have to go to the morning court, and sometimes I have to go to the evening court. For a person who traveled through later generations, it is really tormented.

Of course, if the morning court can help Daming stand up again, even if he is exhausted, Zhu Youxiao will get up on time at three o'clock every day to watch, whoever dares not come, he will be chopped off.

However, everyone knows that at the present stage of Daming, the early dynasty has almost become a special event for everyone in the Donglin Party.

Ever since, Zhu Youxiao was very witty and issued an edict last night to cancel today's morning court, and went back to sleep comfortably.

The second early dynasty of the Tianqi Dynasty was canceled because of a word from the newly enthroned young emperor. The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty immediately discussed and suspected each other, but Yang Lian and other Donglin party members did not find it strange.

In their view, this is in line with the personality of the little emperor who has been frightened since he was a child. Now is the time to start "pursuing victory" against the Chu Party headed by Fang Congzhe.

Zhu Youxiao was walking around in Xinuange, thinking about how to save his Daming.

The carpenter emperor in history was not only not stupid, but also very shrewd, but the facts have proved that just letting Lao Wei out from behind, although the effect is there, it is not enough.

Now that history has proved that that road is not feasible, it is necessary to change another road!

"My lord, the officials have been waiting in the Huangji Hall for a long time, let's go and have a look." At this time, Wang An came to Xinuang Pavilion in a panic.

Hearing this, Zhu Youxiao, who was thinking about something, turned his head and glared at Wang An.

What's wrong with this kid, yesterday I clearly issued an edict saying that I won't be able to go to court today, and those Donglin Party members are still here.

This fart is useless early morning, if you want to go, let them go by themselves, what's the matter if you come here and urge me?

If we don't go here, it is estimated that tomorrow the news that Emperor Tianqi ignores the government will spread to half of the capital!

This group of Donglin Party, they know that I have summoned Liu Qiao, so they give me a blow!

Thinking of this, Zhu Youxiao turned his back and said lightly: "Go back and tell them that not only will I not be attending the morning court today, but the next morning court will be canceled for half a month!"

Let you make waves, no matter how much you make waves, I will not go to court for 30 years!

Hearing this, Wang An was stunned.

"Why, what I said is not clear enough?" Zhu Youxiao's words seemed a little sullen, Wang An naturally heard it, and hurriedly bowed and retreated.

"These bastards!"

Zhu Youxiao pushed down the mountain of question books on the table, and took a look at one of them with anger, and sneered all of a sudden.

Although not going to court, you still have to read the title book, so that you can get a general understanding of the situation.

This question was originally written by a certain Taoist official of the Donglin Party, and the whole article has one meaning, recommending the eunuch Wang An to be the seal of the ceremonial supervisor.

Look at the next one, the next one, the content is almost exactly the same.

"The eunuch Wang Anqin is diligent and loyal to the royal family."

Zhu Youxiao threw down the test book, and it has been a few days since he succeeded to the throne. All the test books he has read are inseparable from two words, party struggle!

At present, half of the inscriptions that Zhu Youxiao has read were recommended by the Donglin party members to Wang An as the official supervisor, and the other half are basically the Qi Chuzhe party's impeachment of Yang Sichang's so-called illegal deeds in order to retaliate against the Donglin party.

Wang An, who used to be the eunuch of Bingbi, the supervisor of ceremonies in Taichang period, has been the eunuch of Zhu Youxiao for many years.

This person is sure of Zhu Youxiao's loyalty, but he belongs to the Donglin faction, and the Donglin Party pushed him to the top because they wanted to interfere in the inner court.

In many cases, employing people cannot only look at loyalty and integrity.

There are many truly loyal people, but loyal people also have their own thoughts, and there are also many truly corrupt people, but these people are not completely incapable and useful.

Wang An is a typical example of being limped by the Donglin Party. Now he has been tied to a boat and can't get off. Zhu Youxiao really doesn't want to use him.

But in terms of emotion and reason, Wang An himself has done nothing wrong. After following Zhu Youxiao for so many years, no one else can do this palm print except him.

Besides, Zhu Youxiao has another person to use, and the inner court cannot be dominated by one family.

Thinking about it, the corners of Zhu Youxiao's mouth rose slightly.

"Come here, pass the decree, Wang An is in charge of the chief inspector of ceremonies." Zhu Youxiao looked out the window with his hands behind his back, and said to the door: "Call Li Jinzhong to Xinuang Pavilion."

The name Li Jinzhong may not be very well-known, but if it mentions another name of this guy, Wei Zhongxian, many people will be very familiar with it.

Originally, Zhu Youxiao didn't want to drag Old Wei up to block the gun so quickly, but this group of Donglin Party is too annoying, without Old Wei's support, many things can't be done!

At this time, Li Jinzhong had already taken advantage of his relationship with the great eunuch Wang An in the last years of Wanli to be promoted to the position of chief ceremonial supervisor and then the eunuch of Bingbi.

Although it is considered a small power, and the central government has also developed some basic party members, it is far from unprecedented.

Zhu Youxiao needs to let Li Jinzhong appear on stage early, so he has to be pulled.

As soon as Li Jinzhong appeared on the stage, the Donglin Party's attack direction would shift immediately, and Zhu Youxiao would be free to handle his own affairs.

Just as he was thinking, Zhu Youxiao saw a donkey-faced eunuch walking into Xinuang Pavilion hesitantly, bowed and said:

"Slaves see the emperor!"

At this time, Zhu Youxiao had already asked his servants to set up the go and sit on the couch. Hearing this, he picked up a piece and said "hmm" without raising his head, and muttered:

"Hey, how should I move this chess move?"

Seeing that Zhu Youxiao ignored him and was playing chess on his own, Li Jinzhong felt that something was unusual, and his little heart began to pound.

If he was an ordinary person at this time, he would have knelt on the ground and trembled, but Li Jinzhong took two steps forward, picked up the sunspots and put them on the chessboard, smiling and saying:

"If the servant is a sunspot, it will be like this."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Youxiao dropped the white piece in his hand, crossed his legs and said, "Li Jinzhong, you are quite courageous."

"Do you think you are qualified to play chess with me?"

"I don't dare." Li Jinzhong hurriedly knelt on the ground, terrified by these words.

Zhu Youxiao lay sideways on the couch, and said lightly: "Li Jinzhong, I know you are loyal to me."

"It is said that your original surname is Wei? You will change it back to your original surname starting today, but the name Wei Jinzhong seems inappropriate. I will give you a name, Zhongxian, how about it."

Zhu Youxiao said lazily.

"Wei, Zhongxian!?" Li Jinzhong heard the words, without thinking, he prostrated himself on the ground, and said loudly, "Wei Zhongxian, my servant, thank the emperor for his kindness!"

"Wei Zhongxian, how is the yamen in Dongchang?" After a long silence, Zhu Youxiao suddenly asked.

Hearing this, Wei Zhongxian's heart trembled.

East Factory!

"Back to the emperor, since Wuzong, Dongchang is no longer the same as before." Wei Zhongxian said cautiously.

"Okay, take that yamen with you, it's useless anyway." After Zhu Youxiao finished speaking, he asked again: "You also send someone to take care of the Yumajian. I heard that the Jurchens outside the Great Wall like to shoot and hunt on horseback?"

"I don't want to be a carpenter for the time being, you can arrange it."

Admiral Dongchang and concurrently in charge of the Horse Supervisor, this is something that was unimaginable before, but today, these two came together!

Naturally, Wei Zhongxian understood Emperor Tianqi's intentions, and immediately felt a sense of pleasure meeting the Ming Lord, and opened his mouth and shouted: "Your Majesty obeys the Holy Will of the Emperor!"

"You go down first."

"According to the order!"

Wei Zhongxian bowed and walked out of Xinuang Pavilion in small steps, but when he turned around, he met a Jinyi guard wearing a flying fish suit walking quickly.

Immediately, the ecstasy on his face changed, and he cupped his hands and said, "This one, isn't Dudu Liu from Beizhen Fusi, what wind brought you to Xinuange?"

Liu Qiao didn't know that Li Jinzhong was given the name Wei Zhongxian and was the admiral of the East Factory, so he also cupped his hands and said:

"Eunuch Li, the emperor summoned the officials for important matters, so I will not accompany you."

After speaking, he went straight into the Xinuang Pavilion, leaving Wei Zhongxian standing there with his face gradually darkening.

Chapter 9 Taking People

Not to mention how Wei Zhongxian arranged to take over the affairs with excitement after he left the Qianqing Palace, but when Liu Qiao got the order and walked in, he said straight to the point:

"Your Majesty, Cui Wensheng's whereabouts have been found out."

"After moving to the palace that day, he separated from Xi Lixuan and went to meet someone. After being impeached, he was demoted to Nanjing as a guard eunuch. Now he is on his way to Nanjing."

As he spoke, Liu Qiao listened to him and said the person's name.

Hearing this, Zhu Youxiao glanced at the direction Wei Zhongxian was leaving, snorted coldly to show he understood, and then asked, "Who impeached Cui Wensheng?"

"Fang Xian, Minister of Rites, was also instructed by him," Liu Qiao said.

"Okay, this matter is done well, you can take Jin Yiwei with you." Zhu Youxiao said lightly, looking at his expression, it seemed that this was a trivial matter.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Liu Qiao was overjoyed.

Zhu Youxiao turned around and said in a cold voice: "To capture Fang Xian, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, to put him in imperial prison, and to recover Cui Wensheng, there is no need to go to the Criminal Division to ask for a driver's license."

"Observe the order!" Liu Qiao clasped his fists and said.

"Go down."

……

Four days after Emperor Tianqi succeeded to the throne, explosive news came out, two in succession.

The eunuch Li Jinzhong, who was the supervisor of ceremonies and Bingbi, was given a name change by the emperor. From then on, he was called Wei Zhongxian!

Wei is Li Jinzhong's original surname, and it is not unusual to change it back, but the word "Zhongxian" bestowed by Zhu Youxiao is very particular.

These two words are enough to show that Zhu Youxiao attaches great importance to him.

This is not over yet, the emperor ordered Wei Zhongxian to be the admiral of Dongchang, and also in charge of the horse supervisor, making it clear that Wei Zhongxian was going to use Wei Zhongxian to restrict Wang An, who had just been promoted to the supervisor of ceremonies.

After moving the palace to the throne, the Donglin party members finally discovered that Zhu Youxiao's style of work was completely different from the past.

Wang An kissed Donglin, and Wei Zhongxian was undoubtedly the emperor's minion. The latter suddenly appeared. Naturally, the Donglin people in the court would not just stare at him like this.

After succeeding to the throne, Zhu Youxiao seems to have inherited all the "disadvantages" of Emperor Wanli, and the innate emperor's skills are beginning to show signs.

Now that Zhu Youxiao has become the emperor, no matter whether Yang Lian and the others regret it or not, it is impossible to pull him down from that position.

To be honest, although the Donglin Party is currently taking the lead in the party struggle, it doesn't have that ability.

Dongchang is an institution that makes Manchu civil officials, regardless of party affiliation, fearful. The Yumajian is in charge of the military power of the Tengxiang Four Guards Battalion.

Jinyiwei and the Four Guards Battalion are Zhu Youxiao's best military power at present.

When Wei Zhongxian was still Li Jinzhong, his reputation for cruelty, insidiousness, and good flattery had already spread to the big family, but his power was still very small at that time, and it was not enough to attract the attention of the Donglin bosses.

Now that his status is completely different, and he is highly valued by the emperor, there is no doubt that Wei Zhongxian will make a big move to show his loyalty to Zhu Youxiao.

Just when the Donglin Party was panicking, the second news came.

Although Wei Zhongxian was the admiral of Dongchang, it was not Dongchang who came out to arrest people for the first time, but the Beizhen Fusi who had been silent for a long time!

Liu Qiao, the governor of Jinyiwei, was summoned by the emperor late at night on the day of the enthronement ceremony, and there must be changes!

After Admiral Wei Zhongxian supervised the East Factory, Liu Qiao, the governor of Jinyiwei, was also promoted to be the commander of the palm seal. The appearance of these two people made the situation of party struggle even more chaotic.

Liu Qiao is different from Wei Zhongxian. The latter was delegated by Zhu Youxiao and can act freely, but he completely obeys the emperor's orders, pointing east to east and west to west.

On the early morning of the fifth day after Zhu Youxiao succeeded to the throne, Liu Qiao, the new commander of Jinyiwei, made the first move.

The Criminal Division, which was waiting in full force, did not wait for the person sent by the Jinyiwei to take the driver's sticker, because the troops of the Jinyiwei had already divided into two groups at Yinshi and went out to take the person.
