I, the Ming Dynasty, can still save me

Chapter 452 Admiral Dongchang
"Your servant Wang Boyu comes to see Your Majesty."

In Dongnuan Pavilion, He Ning and Wang Boyu slowly walked in,

"Get up, don't be too polite."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Youxiao put down the question book, waved his hand to let Wang Boyu stand up, and then turned to He Ning and Zhang Chang and said:
"You guys please step back, I'll have a chat with Wang Boyu."

He Ning and Zhang Chang looked at each other. They were also very confused in the past few days. The emperor often asked them to avoid when summoning ministers, not knowing what they were discussing.

However, they did not dare to disobey the emperor's will and could only retreat.

"Wang Aiqing, I remember that I was the eunuch of the Royal Horse Inspector before."

Wang Boyu was confused about the emperor's summons, but judging from the emperor's order to avoid He Ning and others, he knew that the emperor must have something important to do with him.

"Your Majesty has a very good memory. I was the eunuch in charge of the royal horse eunuch in the 46th year of Wanli. It was not until this year that I was appreciated by your majesty and promoted to the ceremonial eunuch."

"Haha, I remember very clearly that you were the one who greeted me when I inspected Licaolan Field in October last year. Then I had to train troops at Licaolan Field. The first batch of soldiers, Huang Degong and others, were also selected by you. For this reason, the officials There is no way to impeach you."

Hearing the emperor's words, Wang Boyu immediately beamed with joy.

"Last year, I was lucky enough to be appreciated by His Majesty, so I am extremely grateful. At that time, I thought that as long as Your Majesty is satisfied, I will do anything."

When Zhu Youxiao heard what he said, he immediately laughed.

"Okay, I really misjudged you. Last year you did a good job when you were in the Royal Horse Supervisor. This year, you were promoted to the Li Supervisor. You did even better. I am very satisfied. So I called you here today. I still want to entrust you with a heavy responsibility, but I don’t know if you can shoulder this burden.”

Wang Boyu was stunned when he heard this, but he quickly came to his senses. He immediately stood up and looked at Zhu Youxiao and said:

"Your Majesty, even if you tell me to go east, I will not dare to go west, even if you go up mountains of swords and seas of fire."

Listening to Wang Boyu's loyal words, Zhu Youxiao laughed, waved his hand and said:

"It's not that serious. It's just that I think you did a good job in the Ceremony Supervisor. I want to entrust you with the important task of supervising the East Factory, but I don't know if you are qualified?"

Admiral Dongchang?

When Wang Boyu heard this, he was immediately ecstatic. He was currently being suppressed by Wei Zhongxian in the Supervisor of Ceremonies, because Wei Zhongxian was both the governor of the East Factory and the eunuch in charge of the Supervisor of Ceremonies.

Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the ceremonial supervisors, eunuchs, eunuchs, and admirals of the East Factory have been managed separately by different people, and few people hold both positions simultaneously.

Therefore, Wei Zhongxian's appointment broke precedent and showed the emperor's trust in him.

Therefore, Wang Boyu was both excited and worried now. Combined with the emperor's move of asking Zhang Chang and others to go out, he guessed that the emperor was afraid of Wei Zhongxian.

But he also knows that the most important thing now is to express his position. As for why he was appointed, His Majesty has his own reasons!

"Your Majesty has entrusted this slave with such a heavy responsibility. I have no time to express my gratitude. How dare you refuse!"

"Okay!" Upon hearing his affirmative answer, Zhu Youxiao looked at Wang Boyu and nodded with satisfaction.

Ever since he learned the whole story the day before yesterday, Zhu Youxiao had been thinking about how to deal with it. He Ning and Shen Guan both benefited from this, so a heavy punishment would not be enough as a warning.

But the most important thing is Wei Zhongxian. If anyone is loyal to Zhu Youxiao, it is naturally Wei Zhongxian.

After Zhu Youxiao came to the throne, he asked Wei Zhongxian to supervise Dongchang. Wei Zhongxian had done so many dirty things for him and offended both nobles and civil servants. Only then could he gain Zhu Youxiao's trust.

It's just that Zhu Youxiao's trust in him is not the capital for his wanton behavior. Wei Zhongxian's actions clearly touched his bottom line.

That's why he wanted Admiral Wang Boyu to supervise Dongchang, just to cut off Wei Zhongxian's arm as punishment.

Without Dongchang, Wei Zhongxian would be a tiger without teeth, unable to show his power at all.

But Zhu Youxiao also knew that Wei Zhongxian was still loyal to him, so he did not refuse, and retained him as the eunuch in charge of etiquette, which made others dare not retaliate against him.

"With your words, I feel relieved. However, the admiral of Dongchang is not that easy to be. When I get there, I will take the responsibility and handle the matter well."

As he spoke, Zhu Youxiao handed a question book to Wang Boyu, which was the evidence reported by Luo Sigong about He Ning's corruption and the collusion between Shen Guan, Liu Tingyuan and Wan Ying to frame Liu Yishui.

"You know what I hate the most is people who collude with others and take advantage of others. As my personal eunuch, He Ning not only accepted bribes wantonly, but also told Wei Zhongxian what I said to Liu Yishui. Later, Wei Zhongxian followed Shen Guan and others colluded to retaliate against Liu Yishen.

This kind of internal and external collusion and disrupting the court's order is the most intolerable to me.That's why I asked you to supervise Dongchang, take on this important task, and handle this matter for me. "

When Wang Boyu heard this, he immediately understood the purpose of the emperor asking him to supervise Dongchang. He was secretly surprised at the amount of money involved, and also understood that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so he immediately knelt down and said:

"These people are so ambitious that I can't wait to eat their flesh. Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will do a wonderful job for you. But you are involved in a big deal. Please tell me how to deal with these people specifically."

After hearing this inquiry, Zhu Youxiao sat on the dragon chair, tapping the imperial case with his fingers, and slowly thought about it in his heart. After a while, he slowly said:

"He Ning has wasted my trust in him. I don't want to see him anymore, so I'll send him to Nanjing to keep vigil. But arresting him shouldn't be done in the palace, and don't dirty the place.

As for the court officials, let's arrest Liu Tingyuan and Wan Ying first, and then ask for the details.I want to see Shen Guan's reaction. If he takes the initiative to admit his mistake and hand in his resignation, then I will give him dignity. If he still dresses clearly and pretends to be confused, then I will give him dignity. "

Wang Boyu was also secretly frightened when he heard this. It seemed that He Ning, Shen Guan and others had touched the emperor's evil side, and their lives were over.

Thinking of this, his heart became even hotter. Since He Ning and Shen Guan both ended up so badly, wouldn't Wei Zhongxian do the same too.

Thinking of this, Wang Boyu secretly thought that his chance to overthrow Wei Zhongxian had come, so he pretended to hesitate and asked:
"Your Majesty, where is Eunuch Wei?"

When Zhu Youxiao thought of this, he glanced at Wang Boyu with interest, and then said casually:
"As for Wei Zhongxian, because he is loyal to me, now I have removed him from the post of Admiral of Dongchang. Forget about other punishments, the rest will depend on his future performance."

Hearing this, disappointment flashed across Wang Boyu's face, but he didn't say anything and immediately accepted the order.

"Okay, without further ado, this is my edict to you. You should first take charge of Admiral Dongchang. As for the matters I have assigned you, we will handle them as soon as possible in a few days."
