As a eunuch in the rituals, there must be a mansion outside the palace. Even if the original corpse is not purchased by itself, it will also be given to it in the palace. This is a convention, and it is generally given to it by the emperor himself to show his favor.

Of course, the palace was not the big men in the Lijian who were able to set up houses outside, and those prisoners could also do the seals and powerful eunuchs. However, compared to the emperor's houses, the ones they bought themselves were always less halo.

In essence, the emperor gave him not a house, but power.

Jin Zhong's mansion was not far from Chongwen Gate. The house was originally purchased by a censor from the capital during the Jiajing period. Later, after a few words, he made some purchases from the palace. Finally, Wanli gave it to Jin Zhong.

At that time, Jin Zhong was not a eunuch on the brush, but was just a eunuch in the church. He was not given a home according to his qualifications. However, because Jin Zhong respected the imperial concubine and obeyed the emperor's words and stood on the side of the emperor at critical moments, Wanli made an exception and gave him a home. A few months later, he was mentioned as eunuch on the brush.

These days, Jin Zhong has been busy and has almost never returned home. The reason is that the emperor appointed him to be responsible for the funeral of the eunuch Chen Ju.

Chen Ju died in a straight house. During his lifetime, he had bought a piece of land in Cigan Temple in Xiangshan and asked his family to build a stone pagoda. Therefore, Jin Zhong was too worried about the cemetery. According to Chen Ju's last words during his lifetime, Jin Zhong buried Chen Ju like a monk.

The emperor was moved by Chen Ju's contribution over the years and specially ordered the sacrifice of Nine Altars to enshrine the temple for Jin Zhong's relatives. Not only that, the emperor also ordered civil and military officials in the court to visit the people in Beijing to pay their respects, so that most of the officials who were attending funerals in front of Jin Zhong's mansion blocked the road, which was extremely sad.

After Chen Ju was buried yesterday, the emperor specially ordered the inner court to promote Chen Ju's chieftain Chang Yun to the supervisor of the Qianqing Palace, and also to the seal of the Industrial Bureau. He also promoted Chen Ju's retainer, clerk, Ma Jian, Shi Ming and Miao Quan to be close attendants in the Warm Palace.

The Silijian people had no objection to these arrangements, and even the Imperial Concubine, who had always had some opinions about Chen Ju, did not object to this. But there was one thing that made the Silijian people quite criticized.

This is because Chen Ju left a letter to the emperor during his lifetime. The letter mainly told his life and asked the emperor not to hold a big funeral after his death, so as to recommend the eunuch under his name, Liu Shimin from the Wenshu room, as the eunuch in the sermon hall.

The emperor knew that Liu Shimin was very fond of his calligraphy, so after reading Chen Ju's letter, he did not discuss it with anyone, so he issued an edict to promote Liu Shimin as the eunuch in the ritual hall.

After Jin Zhong and his group learned about this, they all believed that the emperor's move had broken the rules because Liu Shimin was not qualified and too young.

Liu Shimin entered the palace in the 29th year of Wanli, and is only twenty-seven years old this year. At his age, even if he is a leader in the inner study, he will at most serve as a minor prison in each prison. It is a once-in-a-century genius who can get the seal. Now the emperor has promoted Liu Shimin as a ritual hall because of Chen Ju., and placed it in the outer court is equivalent to directly promoting a magistrate to the six ministers. This is definitely a bad rule.

Some things are just not worrying about being weak but not being equal. The emperor promoted Chen Ju's family to Chang Yun and others, and the palace had no objection because they had a qualification, but what qualifications did Liu Shimin have? Just because Chen Ju's recommendation, he was immediately admitted to the Sili Supervisor. What do you think of the supervisors who have sufficient qualifications?

How many of the powerful eunuchs and mining tax envoys can attend the ritual hall for the ritual?

Once the rules are broken, things will be difficult to do in the future.

However, the emperor's edict was issued, and the Silijian was not willing to refute the orders like the foreign courts. You can only say a few words about this matter in private. Before you knew it, Liu Shimin became the public enemy of the Silijian and even the entire inner court. It can be seen that sometimes, becoming a prosperous person is not a good thing.

After Liu Shimin knew that he was recommended by his ancestors as a ritual hall, Xu Ye knew that this was a bad rule, so except for the mourning in the Chen family, he stayed alone in the study room at other times, and acted very low-key. This made the big men feel a little disgusted with him.

In the past few days, the eunuchs who were closer to Jin Zhong in the palace have congratulated Jin Zhong in advance. Everyone knows how to see the wind. The emperor appointed Jin Zhong to be responsible for Chen Ju's funeral. What does this mean? It means that the emperor's next seal is Jin Zhong.

Jin Zhong looked down on this, and he must be humble in front of others and behind others, saying that the candidate for the seal was appointed by the emperor, and before the end, no one dared to say that the candidate must be who it was. However, when he returned to his home, the servants could still feel the good mood of the master.

In order to avoid suspicion, Jin Zhong had already greeted everyone and no one saw each other these days. The emperor gave him three days off, and Jin Zhong was ready to take a good rest. After all, he was not young anymore. He personally handled Chen Ju's funeral in the past few days, regardless of whether it was big or small. It was impossible for him not to be tired.

But there was one person, Jin Zhong, who still met. This person was Li Yongzhen who came back from outside the pass.

Li Yongzhen didn't even go back to the palace and ran straight to Jin Zhong's house.

After showing Shurhaqi's paper to Jin Zhong, Li Yongzhen explained to Jin Zhong in detail all the days, regardless of the size.

Jin Zhong listened very carefully and asked a few questions from time to time. It seemed that Jin Zhong was still very concerned about this Wei Xiaosheren.

In fact, Jin Zhong knew about most of what Li Yongzhen said. The reason was that after Wei Xiaoshe came out of seclusion, he sent a quick horse to the capital with one report a day. These reports were presented to the emperor and the imperial concubine by his Eunuch Jin.

"Where is that Zazaktu now?"

"Go back to my father-in-law, this man is asked to be taken to the Jinyi Room of Donghuamen."

Jin Zhong nodded. Donghuamen Jinyi Payment Room is a safe place.

"The collusion between Li Chengliang and Jianzhou and the rebellion are complete, and the evidence of the person and physical evidence will be submitted after the official announcement?" Li Yongzhen did not dare to make a decision privately, and this matter must be decided by Jin Zhong.

Jin Zhong thought about it, but shook his head and said, "This matter cannot be done by us. The emperor does not like the inner court interfering in the nine borders. Moreover, Li Chengliang has been favored by the emperor for decades, and it is a bit sensational to say that he colluded with Jianzhou to rebel." After that, he paused, "But since Jianzhou reported it to him, we would also deceive the emperor if we don't report it."

"What does father-in-law mean?" Li Yongzhen couldn't figure out what Jin Zhong meant.

"It's better not to follow our hands." Jin Zhong said his meaning.

"I mean the same thing, so I am going to do this..." Li Yongzhen hurriedly expressed his intention to impeach Li Chengliang with the help of the Tao.

"Chardao?" Jin Zhong pondered for a moment and said slowly: "You can do this, but you can't let the censors know the existence of the palace."

"this…"

Li Yongzhen was in trouble. After coming out of Jin Zhong's mansion, he repeatedly thought about how to do this to make the whole thing. Finally, he had an idea.

...

Every year, Li Chengliang sent people to Beijing to give gifts to cabinet ministers, namely the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Works and other departments, and the Minister of the Assistant and the Chief of the Office of the Langguan were all filial. The Censorate and the Six Ministry of Affairs were missing.

On the one hand, this is because Kedao has always been disliked by the emperor and Li Chengliang is unwilling to be involved with them. On the other hand, Li Chengliang also believes that Kedao and others are not successful enough and have more than enough failures, so they look down on them from the bottom of their hearts and naturally will not give them gifts.

On this day, the guest came to Zhang Heming, the right censor of the Censorate, who brought many gifts and gave the concierge the Zhang mansion a red envelope of three taels. When the concierge saw such a large red envelope, he smiled and asked the person respectfully: "My master is in the Censorate, and he must come in the afternoon. If the guest has a reply, he can put it down. When my master comes back, I will be the first to report."

After hearing this, the guest immediately looked surprised: "Why are you in the Censorate? Isn't this here at the Mansion of Minister Song?"

The doorman was also stunned and hurriedly said, "My master is the right assistant censor of the Censorate. The mansion of Song Shulang is a street from here!"

"So that's it, I'm disturbing!" After hearing this, the guest turned around and slapped the follower and cursed, "You bastard! You are all in the wrong way to give gifts. If I hadn't asked clearly, wouldn't it be a big deal for Uncle Ning Yuan? When I go back and report to the master, I won't be able to see you!"

The entourage covered his cheeks and murmured, "I clearly remember this street, why was it wrong?" He reached out to take back the silver from the door and teased, "You don't know much about it, and you dare to accept this big bag of silver? I guess Men Jing, who doesn't have a few dollars, wants to pretend to be the door of the Minister's Mansion to cheat money!" He lifted the gift box and left. The door was so angry that he couldn't come back for a long time.

Then, the same scene happened one after another in the Censor Zhu Yinggu, and the minister Ren Yingzheng and the two men's houses. When Zhang Heming returned home, the disciple naturally told him about the humiliation of Bairi. Zhang Heming was so angry that he had no intention of eating dinner.

Two days later, the director Ren Yingzheng visited the Zhang family and accidentally talked about this matter. When Zhang Heming heard this, he was humiliated by his family two days ago. He didn't expect that Li Chengliang would not take them seriously. He became more angry and said with hatred: "Li Chengliang is so arrogant, he clearly underestimated our Kedao. He didn't think about who impeached him and returned to Beijing back then!... He didn't remember how many years he taught him a lesson!... If I don't give Li Chengliang some color and spread it, how can we establish ourselves in the capital?"

After hearing this, Ren Yingzheng hesitated and said, "Donald Zhang, all those who hold important positions in the court palace were heavily bribed by Li Chengliang. They bought him good things and covered up their evil deeds. Naturally, they spared no effort. If we want to deal with him, we must be safe. We must be careful when we beat the snake and must not catch the fox, but instead make us sick."

Zhang Heming disagreed and said, "We censors allow us to report the news according to the rules. We don't have to worry about whether it is true or not. We will first write a memorandum to find out that we are not easy to mess with!"

Seeing that Zhang Heming insisted on participating in Li Chengliang and had a successful precedent that year, Ren Yingzheng did not object, so he proposed to discuss with his friend Zhu Yinggu. Just as he was about to ask someone to invite Zhu Yinggu, Zhu Yinggu came uninvited and brought a major event that surprised both Zhang and Ren.

"Li Chengliang dared to collude with Jianzhou to rebel!" Zhang Heming slapped the table heavily and gritted his teeth and said, "He is a death sentence! No wonder he, Li Chengliang, has always submitted memorials to say good things to Jianzhou over the years, and asked the court to win over and treat Jianzhou well. It turned out that he had already colluded with him!"

"Shurhaci is Nurhaci's younger brother. Since this person dares to report the news, this matter is probably not fake." Ren Yingzheng was ready to fight. This matter could definitely give Li Chengliang a fatal blow. It seems that he dares to underestimate Ke Dao's failure.

"It is necessary to ingest the ginseng, and we must ingest it all to the end. Li Chengliang must not have a chance to breathe. However, this matter is very involved, so we must be cautious." Zhu Yinggu said.

"Yes, be careful. Whoever writes the letter first and whoever comes later, we must discuss it well, don't grab a braid for someone, work hard and work in vain. In addition, we must confirm this matter, we are going to the Jinyiwei. For such a big thing, will the Jinyiwei dare to detain someone privately?"

"As long as the matter is true, we will hand in the seal and mobilize our colleagues to strengthen our momentum. Then, we will make the discussions in the court. I think who will dare to protect him Li Chengliang!"

"If anyone dares to protect Li Chengliang, we will report the book to impeach him together!" Zhang Heming made the final decision. If he didn't strip Li Chengliang of his skin this time, he would have lived for so many years in vain.

………

Liangchen suddenly became extremely courageous. The reason why he wanted to go to Jianzhou to open a dungeon was not that he had a flush in his hands and could fight back, but because of Shang Bozhi.

This hero has been the emperor in Jianzhou for several years. Nurhaci, who hated him, insisted on adding another big hatred to the six major hatreds. He was unable to deal with this big hatred even after that. What does it mean that Shang Bozhi is a capable person.

It doesn’t matter if you are not capable, just follow those who are capable.

Moreover, Liangchen thought about it and felt something was wrong after thinking about it. Since Nurhaci wanted to avenge his son, he just raised an army and killed him. How could he not be able to shout?

If you think about it carefully, you seem to be worrying about it. The old slave really rebelled ten years later. These ten years are not only a concept of time, but also a concept of strength.

Does Jianzhou have the strength to rebel now?

The good minister was suspicious, and he did not doubt Nurhaci's power. He only believed that the Ming army at present was not something he Nurhaci could defeat.

The Korean War has only been ten years, and there are many elite soldiers and generals who participated in the battle to aid Korea. Nurhaci chose to rebel ten years later. Perhaps, this person is also waiting for these elite soldiers to die of old age.

If the facts were as he thought, then Nurhaci would not rebel at all. This speculation can be seen from Nurhaci just shouting to seek justice from the court, but without taking action.

As long as Nurhaci didn't dare to rebel, the good minister would have the courage to go to Jianzhou. No matter how small his small servant was, he always represented the court.

Besides, Xiong Chafang went with him. Xiong Chafang was from the capital, and Wei Sheren was also from the capital, so he couldn't cheat himself.

Liangchen increased his confidence. Since going to Jianzhou may not be a life-threatening person, what else can he be afraid of?

Therefore, what's the point of being braver and more romantic?

Furthermore, Li Chengliang may have a fire in his backyard now.

When the tide in the court moved, Wei Liangchen could sit and watch the storm rise.

But he didn't know that Li Chengliang's backyard had not caught fire yet, and his backyard was caught in Qiansui's backyard.
