Reborn Regent of Ming Dynasty

After Wang Dehua took a few sips of the ginseng soup, he put it down gently, and then said to Cao Huachun in a firm tone: "Although the emperor has a strong mouth, based on what I know about the emperor, it is inevitable that Zhang Shouren will be transferred."

Cao Huachun smiled slightly, leaned forward and replied: "Duke Yin is here, what else can be controlled by Duke Yin?"

"Can't say that either."

There was a glimmer of gloom in Wang Dehua's eyes, and he said in a deep voice, "This time, the surname Zhang made trouble on his own, that's why it went so smoothly."

"When Rong Chengbo was in the capital, he really couldn't see what he thought of the inner eunuch. Why did he dare to do so in Huguang?" [

"This time, that time."

Wang Dehua nodded and said: "The last time he came to Beijing, he was a guerrilla. Flattery and flattery are also deserved. Helping Xue Hancheng to consolidate his position is even more important. Now, he has become independent."

"Since he is a monkey grandson, there is no way he can jump out of Duke Yin's palm."

"Look, look again."

Wang Dehua was unwilling to accept Cao Huachun's flattery.In fact, Zhang Shouren's outlier probably made the emperor feel uneasy, and the joy when he received Zhang Xianzhong's award may be replaced by new distress.

For eunuchs, it is not a good thing to have a general with the same status and power as a civil servant.

"The emperor was confused for a while!" He thought in his heart.

Cao Huachun paused, and leaned towards Wang Dehua: "Since this person has come forward to stir up trouble, why don't we ask the people from Donglin to initiate it?"

"Are you going to overthrow Hancheng?"

"The emperor also has this intention? A while ago, in order to appease Zhang Shouren, I was afraid that he would delay it for a while. Now that someone Zhang is causing trouble like this, the emperor must be trying to beat him. At this time, it is the best time to come to Hancheng. "

"Hmm." Wang Dehua thought for a while, and agreed: "It is indeed a good time. Han Cheng has been restless for a long time, and if he delays, it will not be good for each other. Let's go back to his hometown and rest for a few years. ..."

"Okay, if that's the case, Duke Yin agrees." Cao Huachun came here to test the news for Donglin, Wang Dehua finally nodded, he was very happy, stood up and said goodbye.

Because he had something on his mind, Wang Dehua didn't see him off, but just bowed in the chair.

"Don't dare to do it, don't dare to do it." Cao Huachun stepped back and hurried out of the door.

He was entrusted by Donglin, and he has been in touch with him through secret lines.The chief eunuchs such as Dongchang, Yumajian and other eunuchs Donglin in the palace all have their own connections. Originally, Cao Huachun and Donglin were not considered to be together, but the situation in the capital changed again and again. Now Cao Huachun and Donglin The party is tied together.

After leaving Wang Dehua's residence, Cao Huachun rushed back to his private residence near Dongchang Hutong. The eunuchs had their own residences outside the palace, both Wang Dehua and Wang Cheng'en, and he was of course no exception.

Not only has the mansion, Cao Huachun also brought his mother and his nephew's family over. After his death, this adoptive nephew can inherit his wealth and mansion, and at the same time he will be the heir under his name. Sacrificing him as a son will save him from starvation in the underworld.

In this day and age, the adopted son is the same as the biological son. After Cao Huachun got off the sedan chair, the nephew and nephew-in-law were waiting at the second door, calling for the servants to change clothes for him, serving tea and drinks, and the son of a rich family. Like a daughter-in-law, the old Feng Weng who needs to be served is comfortable.

"Forget it, take a look at the gate book."

Went to the upper room to invite Ann with his mother, and after a few gossips, Cao Huachun returned to his residence, sat down in the study, and brought the door book to read.

This kind of door book is a list of guests who have voted for the post. After Cao Huachun read it, it means that people did not make a trip for nothing, and the door bag would not be given away for nothing. little impression.

There are generally no civil servants visiting eunuchs' courts, only Xun Chen, military generals in the capital, and some businessmen. Of course, the eunuchs in the palace are the ones who come and go more often. Those who are qualified to visit the palace are at least first-class young eunuchs. , Meeting in the private residence, increasing mutual friendship, is also one of the means for eunuchs to weave a network of relationships in the palace.

Today, Cao Huachun was obviously looking for the guest list for a purpose. When he found a familiar name, he smiled slightly and said to Shili's nephew, "Master Wu, please come here."

"Yes, my lord, please wait a moment."

The identity of the visitor was pure and noble, with a low rank but a high status. Cao Huachun's nephew went to invite him in person. After a while, an official wearing a blue sixth-rank civil official uniform came in after being invited.

"Come on, I've been waiting for you for a long time."

"Don't dare. Eunuch has worked hard in the palace every day, and it's really wrong for the subordinate officials to disturb you."

"Haha, what you said is exaggerated."

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, before Cao Huachun said nonchalantly, "Mr. Zhou has asked you to do so. Today, Mr. Yin nodded his head."

The so-called "Zhou Xianggong" is Zhou Yanru, a former university scholar who was in opposition. He was not originally a member of Donglin, but this time he had reconciled with people in Donglin for reinstatement, and made three chapters with Zhang Pu, who was reinstated, saying that he would not be reinstated after reinstatement. Not being corrupt, they are devoted to state affairs. With this promise, Zhang Pu and his colleagues in Fushe waved the flag for Zhou Yanru and washed his reputation for him. Over the past few months, rumors of Zhou Yanru's re-entry to the cabinet have been on the rise.

Of course, the first task now is to bring Xue Guoguan down. Xue Guoguan's resignation means that Zhou Yanru's faction and Wen Tiren's faction have won the final victory in the duel. As long as Xue is gone, Zhou Yanru's restoration is only a matter of time.

Before that, Yang Sichang, a dark horse, came out. With Dongge University scholar out of the town, the first assistant will be at least five or six years later, but now Yang Sichang has become a powerful contender for the first assistant with his outstanding military exploits. Contestants, after the fall of Xue Guoguan, it is still a mystery how the positions of the great scholars in the cabinet have changed.

"The good news is that Zhang Shouren has had accidents many times, the emperor is tired of it, and probably doesn't want him to stay in Huguang for a long time."

Wu Changshi showed joy, and said with a smile: "Once this person leaves, it will take some time for Yang Ge's troops to reorganize Huguang soldiers and horses. It will be difficult to make another great contribution like the end of last winter."

"Hehe, it's up to people. Yang Gebu is a great talent, and there will always be a way, so you can do whatever you want, but you need to speed up."

The deeper the relationship between Cao Huachun and the Donglin Party, the more frightened he was about the deep connections and influence that the other party had managed in all directions.In terms of military affairs, it doesn't matter if the southern governors have an inseparable relationship with the Donglin Party. For example, the governors of Anqing and Fengyang hold heavy troops, all of whom are members of the Donglin Party. The governors of Jiangxi and Xunyang, etc. They are all senior members of the Donglin Party.

If you just think that the Donglin Party is a group of scholars who have appeal in the scholarly circle based on the previous impression, then it is a big mistake, the mistake is too outrageous!

In the south, the Donglin family dominates. In the north, Liu Zeqing, the commander-in-chief of Yanzhou, is a supporter of Donglin's force, and Zuo Liangyu, the commander-in-chief of Huguang Town, also has an inexplicable relationship with Donglin. Such a force does have During the reign of Tianqi, Sun Chengzong of the Donglin Party was in charge of the northern border defense as the emperor's teacher, and the governor of Denglai was also a member of the Donglin Party. There are many, and the methods are too cruel. If you don't give others a way out, even a eunuch with the power of nine thousand years old can't beat Donglin...

In the following two years, Yang Sichang will definitely be constrained and attacked by many parties. If he is a little careless, his great achievements in capturing and killing Zhang Xianzhong in the winter of 12 will not be so dazzling... But this is a matter of the Donglin party members, and Cao Huachun is only responsible for it. As far as the palace is concerned, he will not interfere with what they do outside the court.

"Let me say goodbye. If there is any new news, please inform the official in time."

"It's easy to say, easy to say." [

Overjoyed, Wu Changshi immediately left. He made a lot of trouble for recommending Zhang Shouren to go south last time, which caused serious dissatisfaction with Zhou Yanru and Zhang Pu. I can't tolerate him, just go home and eat the old rice.

This time, he will fight for the vanguard, and he will do his best for the future. Although the spring is cold, Wu Changshi's heart is full of fire.

I just remembered that Zhang Shouren was about to go north. What if Hong Chengchou made greater military exploits and lifted the siege of Jinzhou... Thinking of such a result, Wu Changshi shuddered a few times, and made up his mind that after returning to the mansion, he must repair the book for him. Zhang Pu urged him to find a way to use Zhang Shouren to return to Denglai and trap the tiger in the guard, this is the safest way!

……

On February 13nd of the [-]th year of Chongzhen, it was also the time when the dragon raised its head. The most sensational thing in the court and the public was the fact that Wu Changshi, the head of the household department, sued Xue Guoguan, the chief assistant of the court.

As the principal, he is not a member of the scientific discipline. It is said that he does not have the direct power to impeach ministers. Wu Changshi's memorial directly proceeded from his own point of view, saying that he bribed Xue Guoguan with thousands of taels of silver in an attempt to transfer him to the Ministry of Officials, and Xue Guoguan accepted the bribe. After that, he did not transfer him to an official position as promised, so he sued in anger!

This matter, if it is possible, is possible, but a person who was born in Fushe and is a prostitute sued the chief minister for thousands of silver, the taste of political wrestling is too strong, and once the incident happened, it would immediately cause riots toward attention.

After being impeached, Xue Guoguan immediately avoided him at home. When the officials of the state were impeached, they temporarily resigned and waited for future orders.If the emperor wanted to use Shoufu, he would immediately reject Wu Changshi's memorial with stern words. If it was during the Jiajing period, it would not be impossible for Jin Yiwei to arrest Wu Changshi and imprison him.

During the Jiajing and Wanli years, the chief assistant was honorable after all, and he could be attracted by himself, but there were almost no incidents of being impeached and dismissed by junior ministers.Political stability, both in the cabinet and the inner court, is very important.

But for Chongzhen, there is no scruple in this regard!
