Ming Dynasty fake eunuch

Chapter 639
Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.

Another bad old saying, but old sayings usually have a lot of truth, don't they?
Since Ye Xun entered the imperial court, batches of high-ranking officials and dignitaries have fallen under Ye Xun's suppression. The imperial court is now unprecedentedly peaceful and peaceful.

But is this really the case?At least Ye Xun himself didn't believe it. If he was a civil servant, the situation might be better, but let an eunuch control the court and rule the world, where do you let those scholars lose face?

That's why Ye Xun believed that there was never a shortage of people who hated him in the court, but after several purges, these people acted more secretly and acted more carefully.

Take the case of Gu Xiancheng as an example, if it wasn't for the high-ranking officials in Beijing colluding with him, Ye Xun would not believe that he has such courage.

Although the soldiers outside had settled down, Ye Xun did not take back the order to recruit Hanzhong and Mangui troops to come.

The Northwest Army needs to be rectified, and such a large-scale rectification, how can the guards around Ye Xun alone be enough?
According to the information previously transferred from the Ministry of War, from Ningxia to Gansu and Shaanxi, the imperial court has a total of [-] to [-] troops.

Ye Xun didn't dare to say that there were problems with these troops, but since there were problems with Ningxia Zhongwei and Lanzhou Wei, he had to attack all of these troops.

Now that the grassland is completely under Ye Xun's control, the former Nine Frontier Defense Line no longer needs too many troops to garrison. In this way, the soldiers separated from the army can also greatly enrich the local labor force.

Soldiers are expensive and elites are not expensive. Ye Xun will use Jianjun Town as a base to fully reorganize the Northwest Army. This time, his two hundred guards may all be scattered to serve as officers in various armies.

This is impossible, and the only way to ensure Ye Xun's absolute control over the army.

The day passed quickly, and with Kuermu sitting in the town, the Lanzhou army camp on the opposite side gradually fell silent.

The funeral affairs in the camp have been taken care of, except for the smell of blood still permeating the air, nothing unusual can be seen anymore.

With the help of Xiao Luo, Aruna personally made pasta for Ye Xun. At this moment, Aruna's heart was completely filled with Ye Xun. Such a person is not a hero, who else can be considered a hero?

Aruna, who fell into crazy worship, had automatically ignored the fact that Ye Xun was disabled. She had never been in the kitchen since she was a child, and after hearing Xiaoluo accidentally mention a pastry, she begged Xiaoluo to help her make it. come out.

The kind of pastry that Ye Xun likes is actually the embryonic form of cakes of later generations, but it is not as delicate as later generations.

Putting the things in front of Ye Xun, he glanced at the pastry in the tray that looked like a weight, and then looked up at Aruna who was shy and timid, but had a face that hoped that you would praise me, Ye Xun couldn't help being moved and moved It's funny.

Who does what, you are a noble lady, what are you doing with this thing?
Wanting to take a bite together, but afraid of scratching my teeth, I smiled and said: "It smells good, thanks for your hard work, let's put this away first, and I'll eat it later when I'm hungry."

Aruna is not stupid either, as soon as she saw Ye Xun's expression, she knew that she didn't do well, she said a little aggrieved, "I, it's my first time doing it, wait until I do it again"

"No, no, this is pretty good. By the way, I heard from your father that you like military affairs. Tomorrow morning, Xiao Luo and I will change into men's clothes and go with me to the barracks opposite to see how our Ming army is better than your Mughal army. how"

Aruna is obviously not someone like Xiaoluo who can stay in the room with peace of mind, she should find something to do so that she won't make any more troubles.

"Is what you said true?"

Aruna looked at Ye Xun with surprise and asked, she was very independent since she was a child, and she always hated that she was not a man, and in a place with strict religious system like Mughal, she was far less comfortable as a woman in the Central Plains.

Aruna had always wanted to go to the army before, and even dreamed of becoming a general, but unfortunately in Mughal, that was destined to be an unattainable dream.

But she didn't expect Zhong Yuan, the man she regarded as her husband, to spoil her so much.

At this moment, Aruna really had the urge to rush up to hug Ye Xun and kiss them hard.

However, although Aruna didn't take any further action, Ye Xun was still quite frightened by the fiery eyes.

She nodded with a smile and said, "Of course it's true, Xiaoluo, you two go find military uniforms!"

For the convenience of going out, Xiaoluo specially ordered a Ming army uniform that was one size smaller, but Xiaoluo's figure is far less hot than Aruna's, so I don't know if Aruna can wear it.

"To Eunuch, Mr. Gu is asking to see you!"

The voice of the guard came from outside the tent at the right time.

Aruna also knew that Ye Xun should not disturb Ye Xun's work, so she happily ran out with Xiaoluo.

Looking at the backs of the two women, Ye Xun couldn't help smiling and shaking his head. It seemed that it would be nice to have more than one of these women in the backyard.

But the smile quickly froze on Ye Xun's face, because he thought of the woman he shouldn't have thought of again.

Shaking his head to clear his mind, he raised his voice and said, "Please come in, Mr. Gu."

Gu Xiancheng had already been waiting outside the tent, following Ye Xun's voice, he quickly walked in.

At this moment, Lao Gu seemed to have aged more than ten years suddenly, and his originally tall and straight figure had become stooped.

The bloody smell above the camp hadn't dissipated yet, and the cheers from his soldiers in the distance all told Gu Xiancheng that if he carried on, his family of hundreds of people would be implicated, so in the end Decided to confess to Ye Xun.

After bowing to Ye Xun and saluting, he said in a deep voice, "To my father-in-law, the reason why the criminal will risk the world and not disobey the calculation of the father-in-law is because the villain was ordered by the British father-in-law Zhang Weixian."

"What did you say?"

Before Gu Xiancheng finished speaking, Ye Xun jumped up, looked at Gu Xiancheng with an angry face and asked.

"Father-in-law did not hear wrongly. It is indeed the British Lord who ordered the criminal to do this. This is the warrant issued by the British Lord to the criminal. Father-in-law, please read it."

As he spoke, Gu Xiancheng took out a letter with an envelope from his arms and handed it to the guard standing beside him.

The guard shook and confirmed that there were no dangerous items before turning around and handing them to Ye Xun.

At this moment, Ye Xun's face was sinking like water, but his heart was filled with huge waves. It wasn't that he was afraid of what Zhang Weixian would do next, but in his subconscious mind, Zhang Weixian, an old fox, would never oppose him.

Could it be that I lost my sight again?
The repeated counterattacks by court officials, some of whom he trusted very much before, have severely damaged Ye Xun's self-confidence after several incidents.

He took the letter and quickly opened it. After only a few glances, a terrifying murderous intent burst out in his eyes.

Ye Xun had known Zhang Weixian for more than three years, and had been a soldier under Zhang Weixian before, so he could tell at a glance that this letter was in Zhang Weixian's handwriting.

Ye Xun suppressed almost all the nobles in Beijing, but only let the Zhang family go. Of course, Zhang Weixian has a general sense and did not participate in any incident against him. At the same time, Ye Xun is also very grateful to Zhang Weixian, because Zhang Weixian has indeed helped he.

This is really in line with the saying "Knowing people, knowing faces but not knowing their hearts". It turns out that in Lao Zhang's heart, there is such a big evil intention buried in his heart.
