Probably in Qin Dewei's mind, Empress Dowager Zhang has never been regarded as a difficulty.

In the final analysis, places like the imperial court place great importance on strength. Empress Dowager Zhang only has a name but no strength. Even if she wants to do something, how much trouble can she cause?
Even if there are some obstacles in Empress Zhang's place, with Qin Dewei's wit and ability, he can deal with it in any way he wants.

It would be even better if at the same time, under the banner of helping the Empress Dowager Zhang, he could do some small actions that were beneficial to himself.

After all, Empress Dowager Zhang is still the supreme regent in name at present. Although Empress Dowager Zhang herself is incapable of raising this banner, it does not mean that others such as Qin Zhongtang also do not have the ability.

Therefore, although Qin Zhongtang may have many ways to complete the task, he still chose to exchange interests with Eunuch Qin in a high-profile and upright manner, and through this, Eunuch Qin was driven to "grab territory".

After it spread, in the eyes of others, it was like spending money to bribe Qin Eunuch to do things, and it did not affect Qin Zhongtang's reputation.

It's all understandable, just to get the Shang Fangjian to show a workaround, and not let the Qin eunuch frame the courtiers.And it cost money, how can it be considered a collusion?

After the agreement was reached, Eunuch Qin couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

It's no wonder that Qin Dewei is still alive and kicking, no matter whether he is friends or foes.

Qin Dewei is also unique in his ability to always deliver "timely rain" to his own people at key points. Who can resist "the temptation of the devil"?
For example, this time I solved the motivation problem for myself, so that I have enough logic to intervene in the affairs of the palace.

When Dongchang sank with the Son of Heaven and his career was stagnant, what was such an opportunity if it was not a timely rain?
And if you and Queen Fang take the opportunity to build up a sense of trust, it will also be of great benefit to the goal of re-establishing yourself in the palace.

After a tacit "public transaction" was over, Eunuch Qin couldn't help but ask again, "Why do you have to go to the southeast?"

Qin Dewei sighed, "Why is everyone asking this question when they saw me recently? I just want to do something, and there are so many things that Southeast can do."

Eunuch Qin couldn't help but persuade again: "It's not necessarily a good thing to want to do things too much. You are rarely stupid, why are you a little confused about this?"

Because others cannot see what will happen 100 years later, or even hundreds of years later, but Qin Dewei can, and it is difficult for him to remain indifferent.

Facing Eunuch Qin, a person who might have a special relationship with him, Qin Dewei replied: "Gou Li's country is life and death, so why should he avoid him because of misfortune and good fortune."

Taking advantage of Emperor Jiajing's coma, he can show his strengths and come up with a fait accompli, so that everyone can see the benefits.

Otherwise, with Emperor Jiajing's paranoia, it would be too difficult to change something.

After listening to these two poems, Mrs. Qin's only thought was that this one really didn't look like her own son!

As a father, should he encourage his son to be upright and selfless regardless of gains and losses, or should he gou Mingzhe to protect himself?
Thinking of this, Eunuch Qin suddenly felt that he had found a new direction, and he was full of energy.

The confusion caused by the emperor's coma was instantly swept away. …

Eunuch Qin guessed that this might be a test for Qin Dewei before he left the capital, to see if he could help him support the rear of the palace in the capital.

If you can't stand it, the father doesn't even recognize it.

After sending Qin Zhongtang away and seeing that the sun was in the west, Eunuch Qin left the Dongchang, which had lost his soul and looked like a chicken rib, and went straight to Xiyuan.

Arriving at Wanchun Palace, one of the dormitories in Renshou Palace, Eunuch Qin first visited Emperor Jiajing, asked the imperial doctor on duty, learned that the emperor still had no signs of waking up, and then asked to see Empress Fang.

Under normal circumstances, Eunuch Qin did not go to see Queen Fang very often, and had no direct business contact.If you see too much without actual benefit, it will only cause others' suspicions, which is not good for yourself.

This kind of situation where you don't usually communicate much, but suddenly asks for a meeting, is generally called "uninvited guest".

As an "uninvited guest", Qin Zhongtang estimated that he might have to wait a little longer.The queen also has the air of the queen, and it is impossible to receive it immediately after hearing the request.

Chapter 42: Never Peaceful Day
So Eunuch Qin stood in front of the hall, and his mind began to seize the time to ponder.

Empress Fang and Qin Dewei are both from Jiangning and have a little old relationship, which is probably the basis for building trust.

But it is a pity that his hometown on the bright side is Guangdong, hiding his identity from Jiangning County.Otherwise, there is also a natural basis for a closer relationship between himself and Queen Fang.

Eunuch Qin only thought about half of the matter, and unexpected things happened.

He had just asked the female official to send a message to ask for an interview, but someone came out immediately and led him to the apse of Wanchun Palace.

Outside the hall, Eunuch Qin found out that someone in the hall had come first.After entering the hall, it was clear that the person who arrived first was Zhang Zuo, the eunuch in charge of the seal of the Si Lijian.

Eunuch Qin was not surprised that Zhang Zuo appeared here.

If we compare the status of ordinary people, Queen Fang's current role is to be the mistress of the house, while Zhang Zuo's role is similar to that of the big housekeeper in the slave family.

The mother-in-law and the big housekeeper will definitely meet frequently for housework, which is normal.

But Eunuch Zhang was very vigilant when Eunuch Qin Fuqin appeared at Empress Fang of Wanchun Palace.

In other words, Eunuch Zhang has always been very vigilant towards Eunuch Qin.

Among Feixingfan Conglong Eunuchs, Qin Eunuch is the most powerful eunuch with the highest rising power. He is currently the No. [-] in the eunuch system in name, and even Dongchang has been handed over to him.

Zhang Zuo, a veteran eunuch who followed Emperor Jiajing from Xingwang's mansion to the Forbidden City, was a little tired of facing Eunuch Qin.

Until a sudden change in the palace occurred, the emperor was strangled into a coma, and Dongchang, which was extremely dependent on the emperor's personal inclinations, was brought to a standstill.

Then Zhang Zuo breathed a sigh of relief, so that he would not be pressed step by step.

It can be said that everything in the world has advantages and disadvantages, and the situation where Dongchang and the emperor are personally deeply bound is no exception.

Because of the personal authorization of the emperor, Dongchang had special functions and status, and became the most powerful inner court yamen, where all eunuchs wanted to serve.

But at the same time, due to the emperor's personal problems, the power of the Dongchang factory will decline, which is why the eunuch Qin was very anxious before. …

It even made many people think that the eunuch Qin had lost his mind because of the emperor's troubles and excessive sadness.

After Eunuch Qin saluted the Empress, Zhang Zuo sarcastically said, "Master Qin went through the wrong door, right? You Dongchang should go to Ciqing Palace and report to the old lady."

The main business of the East Factory outside the palace is mainly aimed at the outer court and the capital, and the business scope generally does not include the palace.

It can be seen from the fact that the Dongchang Government Office is located outside Dong'an Gate, rather than inside the palace city or the imperial city.

In terms of reporting relationship, Dongchang only reports to the emperor, or only to those who hold the imperial power.

At present, the nominal regent is Empress Dowager Zhang, and Empress Fang only shares the palace affairs, so theoretically Dongchang should report to Empress Dowager Zhang, and has nothing to do with Empress Fang.

This is why Zhang Zuo satirized that Eunuch Qin appeared in Queen Fang’s palace, but Eunuch Qin responded:

"Now the situation is special. The Queen and the Queen Mother jointly manage internal and external affairs. What's wrong with my East Factory reporting to the Queen?"

Zhang Zuo suddenly woke up when he heard the words. After seeing Eunuch Qin, he might have lost his words due to a momentary mood swing!Empress Fang definitely doesn't like listening to what she just said!
Empress Fang was someone who used to compete with the Queen Mother for the regent, and she was also the one who created the "relocation of the palace" incident.

How could she be willing to listen to someone saying, "You don't care about the government, it's pointless for Dongchang to report to you"?
Without giving Zhang Zuo any chance to make up for it, after Eunuch Qin responded to Zhang Zuo's sarcasm, he quickly said to the other queen:

"I do have something to report to the Empress, but since Eunuch Zhang came first, I'll leave first and go to the palace after Eunuch Zhang's report is over."

This is the method of retreating, and although it is very simple, it is also very useful.

Empress Fang glanced at Zhang Zuo blankly, and then said to Eunuch Qin, "Tell me about your business first."

Eunuch Qin hurriedly said: "In order to get the Shang Fang Sword from Empress Dowager Zhang, Qin Dewei paid a lot of money to ask me to take action and help Empress Dowager Zhang kill a few (this chapter is not over!)
Chapter 42: Never Peaceful Day
A servant girl sighed.

I have thought about it, but I still have to start with the investigation of the case of the Ciqing Palace stile that day, so I came to meet the empress, please rest assured and authorize me to investigate! "

The slamming case happened that day when a group of too eavesdroppers said that Empress Dowager Zhang was going to retaliate after her rejuvenation, causing trouble in Ciqing Palace, and some people smashing them with sticks.

Zhang Zuo asked: "What does the matter in the palace have to do with your East Factory?"

Eunuch Qin retorted: "Several people escaped from the palace during the chaos that day, shouldn't the Dongchang be investigated and arrested?"

In fact, there are several key words in Eunuch Qin's words, and each key word reveals some information. Queen Fang pondered it several times after listening to it.

First, if Eunuch Qin does not investigate, others will pursue it, as long as Empress Dowager Zhang still has these heart problems;

Second, Eunuch Qin said please don't worry, Niangniang, which means that no matter how you check it, you can't find the niangniang on your head;

Third, if you can't trust Eunuch Qin, Niang Niang, you should also trust Qin Dewei.What Qin Dewei wanted was not the truth, but to fool the Empress Dowager Zhang together.

Empress Fang couldn't make up her mind for a while, mainly because she didn't know whether to believe Eunuch Qin, so she first ordered Zhang Zuo: "You also talk about your business!"...

Then he said, "Qin Fu doesn't have to step back, let's listen together."

Eunuch Qin stepped aside and listened attentively.

Although Zhang Zuo looked at Eunuch Qin very unsightly and didn't think Eunuch Qin should be here to listen in, but he was helpless when he said the wrong thing at this time, so he could only start talking about things.

Qin Tai listened in, and it turned out that he was talking about the palace change.

That night, dozens of palace maids acted collectively to assassinate the Jiajing Emperor, but they were unsuccessful and were captured on the spot.

When such a big thing happened in the palace, it was naturally led by the eunuch Si Lijian in charge of the investigation.

Zhang Zuo came here today to report the investigation results to Queen Fang.

The preceding is the specific process of interrogation.In the end, I only heard Eunuch Zhang sum up:
"After interrogating one by one, it was determined that the court ladies Yang Cuiying, Su Chuanyao, Yang Yuxiang, Xing Cuilian and other 15 people were extremely rebellious and evil.

That's what this matter looks like, things are clear, there's nothing to be re-examined.

After Queen Fang listened, she was silent, not knowing what she was thinking.

After the emperor and some concubines moved to Xiyuan for a long time, eunuch Qin also actively requested to move the straight house to Xiyuan in order to be close to the emperor.

Because of the short distance and many contacts, Eunuch Qin had some knowledge of the inside story of the harem.

There are eight bedrooms in the Renshou Palace, and most of them have a very poor relationship, and some of the favorite concubines also add to the empress Fang.

Seeing that Empress Fang didn't speak, Eunuch Qin played: "I have two doubts, and I want to ask Empress to think twice."

Zhang Zuo wanted to say "it's none of your business" to Eunuch Qin, but Queen Fang allowed Eunuch Qin to speak.

Eunuch Qin questioned Zhang Zuo: "First, if so many palace maids can connect and act collectively, I think there must be a mastermind or mastermind.

Dare to ask Zhang Ye, who is the mastermind found?I didn't hear from you just now that it was clear who was the mastermind or the mastermind. "

When Empress Fang heard this, she gave Eunuch Qin a deep look.

Eunuch Zhang replied: "The leaders are the people whose names I just named. They are all leaders of this palace change."

Eunuch Qin commented: "It's sloppy, too sloppy. How could a few palace maids be able to assemble a dozen people at will?"

Zhang Zuo was instantly furious. You Qin Fu have never been in contact with anyone, so how can you comment?

Eunuch Qin asked again, "There is a second question, which palace was the emperor staying that night? As far as I know, it should be in Concubine Cao Duan's palace.

And these palace maids who assassinated the emperor came from different sources, how did they enter the palace of Concubine Cao Duan together? "

Eunuch Zhang thought for a while and replied, "I think the accomplices must have cooperated with each other and let in the palace maid who assassinated the emperor."

Eunuch Qin sighed: "This is all your guess, and it's still a guess now, why didn't it come out during the interrogation?

Moreover, in the palace where the emperor lived, how could the palace door be opened casually to let others in?There must be someone with enough weight to be able to open the palace gate.And it's hard to say whether the people in the palace know it or not. "

Chapter 42: Never Peaceful Day
Hearing this, Zhang Zuo scolded Eunuch Qin, "Are you crazy?"

Listening to what you mean, Eunuch Qin, do you want to expand the case and dig out more characters?Only palace maids are not enough, but also implicate some concubines?
Don't you know that the palace needs stability now?If your eunuch Qin goes on like this, I'm afraid people will panic!

Eunuch Qin replied: "Actually, I'm just guessing, I'm not sure whether it's true or not, everything is based on the truth.

But as the person in charge of the trial, you should make bold guesses, exhaust your doubts, and then carefully verify! "

Empress Fang suddenly asked, "I heard that Dongchang is in charge of the imperial prison?"

Eunuch Qin quickly let go of Zhang Zuo, and replied humbly: "The prison actually belongs to Jin Yiwei, and Dongchang is just helping the emperor and watching Jin Yiwei."

Empress Fang was noncommittal, and asked again: "In any case, Dongchang must also specialize in the art of interrogation?"

Eunuch Qin weighed it a little, and then replied, "In any case, he is more professional than Eunuch Zhang."

When Empress Fang heard this, she said without hesitation, "Then ask Eunuch Qin to interrogate the rebellious palace maid again."

Then he instructed Zhang Zuo: "Eunuch Zhang should hand over the case to Eunuch Qin."

Eunuch Qin hurriedly asked again, "Will the case of the stiletto be handed over to the East Factory together?"

"Yes!" Queen Fang agreed.

Zhang Zuo said angrily: "This is to make the palace never peaceful! I don't agree!"

Eunuch Qin looked at Zhang Zuo who was furious and lost his temper, and suddenly felt that Qin Dewei was right. It was a lot of fun to go to other people's territory to make trouble and seize power.
