Chapter 1654 Who is the villain?
"Long live my lord, slaves and slaves are suffering!"
"Long live my lord, my servants have been wronged!"
"Long live my lord, I am really not Wei Ni's lackey. I have never seen Wei Ni before!"
In the Forbidden City, in the Palace of Wenhua, a group of old Jingjun soldiers, who were already a little older and even had gray hair, were lying on the ground, pleading with Zhu Youjian who was sitting behind the desk reading the memorial. They were crying so hard that they
!
These old Jingjun soldiers were all selected by Cao Huachun and sold miserably. Cao Huachun, Eunuch Cao, actually had some sympathy, especially for these poor Jingjun soldiers.
It turns out that Cao Huachun is an elite eunuch with outstanding talents and both civil and military skills. There are also elite and grassroots eunuchs! It is easy for a eunuch with a smart mind, cute appearance, and outstanding flattery skills to get ahead! Cao Huachun is such an eunuch who is easy to get ahead. Originally, he and
There is no way for Jingjun to get along with him. His future lies in the Si Li Jian and the Royal Horse Jian!
But because he offended Wei Zhongxian when he was working as a companion to Zhu Youjian, he was sent to Nanjing, the capital, to be a purge army. This was worse than being a purge army in Nanhaizi! Nanhaizi was still in charge, after all, Wei Zhongxian still wanted to rely on "internal manipulation"
"To defend yourself and Emperor Tianqi, you must always give the Nanhai soldiers a full meal. But who cares about the Jing army in the capital? They will starve to death!"
If Cao Huachun hadn't saved a little, he would have starved to death in Nanjing!
Because of his experience as a Jingjun in Liudu, Cao Huachun truly knew how miserable the Jingjun was, but he also knew that Zhu Youjian was determined to disband the Nanhai Zijingjun!
In order to gain more benefits for this group of Jingjun comrades, Cao Huachun specially selected a few eunuchs who looked particularly miserable and came to Zhu Youjian to do misfortune.
If this were replaced by Zhu Youjian, whose real age is only 17 years old, he would definitely be soft-hearted.
But what has Zhu Youjian, a 90-year-old fox, never seen before? Of course, he could see through Cao Huachun's mind at a glance.
This guy is very capable, both civil and military! He writes very well. If he hadn't cut him with a knife, he would have at least been successful. He can also lead and train troops. The Yongwei Battalion was trained under his hands.
But Cao Huachun has a very fatal problem. This guy is too soft-hearted, almost like Wang Chengen. If you are soft-hearted, you cannot be a villain. If a eunuch is not a villain, his usefulness will be reduced by half!
No, we still have to find a more ferocious Daju. But who is more ferocious?
Zhu Youjian's eyes slowly swept across the Cultural Hall. Now in the Wenhua Hall, besides Cao Huachun and Tu Wenfu, there were three other big men. They were Liu Yingkun, Ji Yong, and Tao Wen who had just returned from the Liaodong front line.
The three of them were sent by the evil man Wei Zhongxian to supervise the troops on the Liaodong front line. They participated in the command of the Ningjin Victory, forced the menacing Huang Taiji to retreat, and also drove away the high-spirited Yuan Chonghuan. These three should be more powerful than Cao Huachun.
Vicious!
After looking away from the three villains, Zhu Youjian calmly spoke to the pleading eunuchs of the Jingjun: "I know your suffering, but after all, the Jingjun of Nanhaizi has been in the hands of Wei Ni for so many years and can no longer
Stayed!
But I can’t bear to see you starving to death, so I will give you a way to survive!”
Still alive?
Is there any way out?
Several Jingjun eunuchs stopped crying and stretched their ears to listen.
Zhu Youjian said: "I have two ways out for you. One is to take the civil and martial arts exams. As long as you are proficient in one of them, I will let you enter the ceremonial department or the imperial horse inspection department!"
There are twenty to thirty thousand people in the Nanhai Zijing Army, and there may be a few who can be used. And Zhu Youjian's front-entry army also needs eunuchs to serve as supervisors and clerks. It would be good if some people from the Nanhai Zijing Army can be selected.
of.
Zhu Youjian added: "If you fail to pass the examination as the Chief of Ceremonies or the Royal Horse, I will give you a way to survive! But you can't stay in Beijing anymore. I will arrange for you to serve as the guards of the feudal and county governments."
He turned to the big men around him and said: "Liu Yingkun, Cao Huachun, Tu Wenfu, Ji Yong, and Tao Wen will leave it to you to select the talents in the Jing army to serve as the ceremonial supervisor and the royal horse supervisor! I'll give you a month.
At that time, we will select one out of a hundred and select two or three hundred people. The rest will be distributed to the feudal government, and the county government will act as a guard."
As he spoke, Zhu Youjian's tone suddenly became serious: "If anyone else makes trouble again, it must be Wei Ni's remnants, and they will be killed directly!"
When Zhu Youjian began to solve the problem of the Zijing Army in the South China Sea, it was already October 15th, the seventh year of the Apocalypse, and the north was already freezing. At this time, there were a few taels of very old-looking coins in the entrance of Yongding Gate in Beijing.
The carriages were parked, and one of them was a passenger carriage. The carriage was wide, and two or three people could sit side by side in it. The coachman driving the carriage was hunching his neck in the front row, holding up his sleeves, waiting for the official in the carriage to speak.
But the two people in the carriage were still talking animatedly, and they still didn't tell the coachman where to go?
"Brother Zhisheng, the current Saint is very different from the late Emperor. Although he is a few years younger than the late Emperor, only 17 years old this year, he is quite sophisticated in his actions!"
The person who spoke was clearly Li Guo, the Grand Scholar of Wuyingdian and the Minister of Punishment.
"Is he really that sophisticated? I met him many times when I was an official for the late emperor, and I also taught him how to study. Compared to the late emperor, he worked a lot harder and may be more wise than the late emperor!"
The person talking to Li Guoji was a man in his sixties, with a Chinese character face, a big beard, very bright eyes, and a big and straight nose. This man was Sun Chengzong, the teacher of Emperor Tianqi and also Donglin
The hope of gentlemen is, of course, the "loyal minister" that Wei Zhongxian most wanted to get rid of.
Sun Da Zhongchen and Li Guoji were both from Gaoyang, Baoding, and their relationship had always been good. In the original history, Li Guoji became a bachelor in the first year of Chongzhen because he had been a bachelor for a long time when Wei Zhongxian was in power.
The object of the struggle between the imperial censor and the imperial eunuch was unbearable to be impeached. When he voluntarily resigned, he recommended Han Xu and Sun Chengzong to take his place.
But now Li Guo is still the hope of gentlemen. Of course no one will impeach him, and he is regarded as the leader of Qingliu and the gentleman of Donglin.
Li Guoji also felt that he was a noble man and a gentleman, but he disliked the three "eunuch" bachelors Huang Liji, Shi Fenglai, and Zhang Ruitu. He even disliked Wang Zaijin, who had just taken office, and he was still going north.
Xu Guangqi can be seen on the way.
Of course, he still respected Sun Chengzong, the former imperial master, otherwise he would not have gone out of Yongding Gate to greet this fellow Gaoyang fellow.
After listening to Sun Chengzong's comments about Zhu Youjian, Li Guoji shook his head repeatedly: "Isn't this more wise than today? I am simply too wise today. How long has it been? I have already taken control of the outer dynasty and the inner court! In these two days,
He is cutting down the Nanhai Zijing Army, rectifying the Jin Yiwei, and also collected the atonement money from a group of eunuchs and traitors. It is said that he will use this money to build some kind of tent front pro-army."
"What? Atonement money?" Sun Chengzong was stunned when he heard this, "How could such a thing happen? When can this dynasty use money to buy laws? Is there no one above the court to dissuade you?"
"Dissuade?" Li Guoji smiled bitterly, "In the past, Wei was against the trend. How many of the civil and military officials in the court did not agree? The emperor's atonement was prepared for them."
"That's right!" Sun Chengzong twirled his beard, glanced at his old friend from the corner of his eye, and said to himself: You probably need to spend money to atone for your sins, right? Although you are not a die-hard member of the eunuch party, after all, you have worked with Wei Zhongxian for so many years.
It seems that the relationship is not bad. It is difficult to tell clearly! Now that the eunuch party in the DPRK and China is gaining momentum, it seems that we need to consider the long term.
He sighed and asked again: "So how is the emperor going to deal with Liaodong?"
Li Guo said: "The emperor now relies on the king in Jin, Yuan Keli, and seems to want to take charge of the defense in Jiliao, and at the same time carry out containment in southern Liaoning and Dongjiang, so as to fight against the Eastern captives in a protracted war."
