The progress of human society stems from human pursuit of interests (better life).

Under this everlasting truth, there were about 4,000 eunuchs of all sizes in the Thirteenth Yamen. Of course, the gurus knew who to follow. After the instigation of the management, it would be a reform of all the staff.

It is also possible to respond to the reform slogan "Everyone is responsible for respecting the emperor and seeking traitors."

Those with birds and those without birds can participate in the reform, which is precisely the first change with imperial characteristics brought to this old empire by the Wanli Reform.

Almost at the same time as the reform officers and soldiers seized the Meridian Gate, Xixinsi organized the officials to occupy the Daming Palace and Wanshou Palace.

Don’t underestimate Xixinsi. In fact, this unit specializing in the charcoal supply and Xishan Coal Factory in the palace is a large unit second only to the Imperial Horse Supervision in the inner court, and the prison can be called "strong man and strong horses."

There is no reason, and I can't do that job without the energy.

It is precisely because of the "strong man and strong horse" that Liu Jin of the Zhengde Dynasty changed this department directly into an expert factory, serving as an official supervisor, the East Factory, the West Factory, and the Jinyiwei.

Those two years were also the most glorious moment for Xixinsi in the empire for more than 200 years.

The organizational strength and execution of the "charcoal burners" were the most efficient in all dynasties. The eunuch of Xixin was in charge of printing in the 24th yamen. He was the palace he entered in the third year of Wanli and was in charge of Xixin at the age of 32. He was in charge of Xixin at the age of 32. He was in charge of Xixin at the age of thirteen years. He was very prestigious in the prison. With an order, Xixin at the time of instructor, Xixin at the time of instructor organized a 500-person reform team.

In addition to the one led by the Shaojian Qi, in charge of the Daming Palace and Wanshou Palace, there was also the supervisor Qian, and Guo, who brought one in the hall, holding a charcoal factory pole or wooden stick with the Baochao Department. The imperial supervisor jointly "take over" the orchard factory, Xihuafang, Sili Supervision and Supervision Factory, Guangjiku, livestock room and other places.

These places are located in the northwest area of ​​the Imperial City. With the military battles taking over Taiyechi, the entire western area of ​​the palace was completely under the hands of the spontaneous reform of the temple group. This allowed the reform officers and soldiers who invaded the Imperial City to concentrate their efforts to surround the palace without having to free up the small number of troops to occupy the area outside the palace.

At the same time, the self-reform of the Thirteenth Yamen also avoided the imperial city from the impact of war to the greatest extent. After all, there were tens of thousands of eunuchs in the palace, and it was difficult to guarantee that there were no non-nationals. If these traitors set fire in the palace, resulting in the destruction of the Forbidden City for more than two hundred years, the imperial army that participated in the reform would be the target of thousands of people.

Of course, under the banner of reform, there are also all kinds of people's hearts.

For example, Eunuch Wang, who was in the military battle, thought that the reform was successful, and he could return to his hometown to live in peace and retirement. Eunuch Wan, who was in the Xixinsi, thought that the reform was successful, and the red robe that Eunuch Wei promised could be put on him.

Interests, motivations, dissatisfaction with the distribution system, yearning for the beautiful future, hatred of corrupt forces...

Various factors were intertwined, which eventually led to the first major reform in the inner court, mainly eunuchs since the founding of the Ming Dynasty.

Is it better to have a king, prince, general and minister?

Can we do the big red robe?

......

Compared with the entire line of decline and "change of dynasties" outside the palace city, the palace city is still firmly controlled by corrupt forces, but this control is like cutting a knife tofu, looking glamorous, but as long as the force is unstable, it will be tofu.

So far, the Silijian can still control the personal army of the guards, and because the reform officers and soldiers outside the palace were ordered not to attack forcibly, there was no imminent danger. Those personal army of the appearance could still maintain some loyalty to their father-in-laws.

But it is precisely because there is no imminent danger that the top representatives of the corrupt forces in the palace have also begun to differentiate.

At this time, the seriously ill and unconscious emperor was obviously not in the care list of father-in-laws.

"At this time, I'm still thinking about Jingying? Everyone wake up. If Jingying is loyal to the court, the rebels will not have entered the imperial city!"

Ma Tang, who escaped from his home, was still in shock. If he had been one step late, he would probably not be able to stand here to breathe.

"It's not that our family is exaggerating. We dare to say that something must have happened to the Duke of England at this time, otherwise the rebels would not have attacked the imperial city so unscrupulously."

Ma Tang's guess was correct, but he didn't know that British Duke Zhang Weixian had been punished by the rebels.

"One hundred thousand people, we can't all follow the rebels to rebel. There are always those who are loyal to His Majesty and the court..." Wang Shun, the fourth admiral, spoke with a tremolo. Da Yan, who was favored by Empress Dowager Li, was so scared that he didn't come back to his senses for a long time after hearing that the rebels entered the palace.

"We have to send someone out of the palace to contact those soldiers who are loyal to the court, otherwise the rebels will be invaded into the palace and we will be all done!"

The person who spoke was Admiral Yin Sui, Shang Bao, and Qian Zhong from the Third Superintendent of Zhidian. He just went to the palace wall to see. There were countless rebels outside. If they really wanted to attack, it would be impossible for those guards to stop them. But now, they could only hope that the officers and soldiers of the Beijing camp who still had conscience could come to rescue them.

"The palace called the rebels surrounded the crowd, and our people couldn't get out, Eunuch Qian!" Qi Xun, the eunuch who was in charge of the jade belt, was brought in by Sun Xian after being the head of the seal. He was nominally responsible for the factory, but actually Sun Xian's head of the house.

In addition to these people, they are one of the four major heads of the East Factory, Jin Liangfu, who is in charge of the study room, and Zhang Cheng who sits silently.

Two of the six eunuchs from the past, Liang Dong called the man from the Imperial Horse Prison to be locked in Nanyuan, and Xiao Yu was unaware of his life and death outside the palace.

"We must also give out if we can't go out. Our family will give a heavy reward. If we don't believe it, there will be no warriors!"

Ma Tang had no choice. If the rebels really attacked, the people here might have a way out, but Eunuch Ma was afraid that he would definitely hang himself. There was no way. He offended Wei Liangchen too ruthlessly. Not to mention the Liangzi who had formed a relationship with Wei Liangchen because of Cao Jukui's affairs, it was enough for Zhengdan to have a pot in Cining Palace. At the beginning, he personally brought people to take Wei Liangchen to the East Factory.

"Even if there are warriors, how can you get out?" Qian Zhong thought more realistically. The palace city was surrounded, how can you get out?

Ma Tang slapped the table: "Hang down with a rope and swim out from Jinshui River!"

"This is a solution." Qian Zhong felt it was feasible.

"What's the solution?"

Zhang Cheng, who had been silent, suddenly sneered and looked at Ma Tang, "Don't you tell me if this person can swim out of Jinshui River. Even if he swims out, he knows where the Beijing soldiers can still listen to us? He just said that he was lucky enough to find him. How long will it take to go back and forth? How can you, Eunuch Ma, guarantee that the Beijing soldiers can beat Wei Liangchen's imperial army?"

"Zhang Cheng, our family knows that you have a good relationship with Wei Liangchen, but now it is him who is planning to rebel and rebel. Do you, Eunuch Zhang, want to betray the emperor too?" Ma Tang's eyes showed bad intentions.

"Ma Tang, I can eat randomly, but I can't talk nonsense. Our family has been serving the emperor for the rest of our lives. How could he betray the emperor when he is about to come?"

Zhang Cheng was not scared by Ma Tang, but laughed dryly, "Who doesn't know that your Eunuch Ma and Xiao Wei have formed a bond in the early years. Your Eunuch Ma repeatedly wanted to kill Xiao Wei. Now that they turned over and wanted to come to challenge your traitor, why? Your Eunuch Ma refused to do things and be one by one. He wanted to drag all of us into the water and ask us to die with you?"

After saying that, he looked sideways at Sun Xian, "Grandpa Sun, I'm sorry, we'd better negotiate with the Imperial Army outside now, and we must not make any moves that anger them... Although the Imperial Army entered Beijing without authorization, it was still the Emperor's troops, not a rebel... As long as the Lord Sun can make the words clear, we believe that the Imperial Army and Xiao Wei will not really want to rebel."

"Yes, yes, Eunuch Zhang said it well. Our family had seen it clearly before. The Imperial Army was loyal to His Majesty. They wanted to defend the emperor's leadership over the empire to the death." Qian Zhongfeng turned quickly.

"I dared to blow up the Meridian Gate and rushed into the palace, and I have a bullshit loyalty! Do you, Mr. Qian, think that you can continue to wear this red-skinned body by transforming yourself into a transformation?"

Ma Tang was furious, and even Qian Zhong, who was a fence-bearing man, started to curse. Qian Zhong said a few words and did not dare to defeat Ma Tang.

"Enough!"
