"this…"

Zhang Cheng was very disappointed and felt a lot of pain as if he was shooting himself in the foot.

The emperor did not act according to the norm today, so he asked him to say what he said.

Could it be that I can recommend myself?

The rules in the palace are not upset and are self-reliant. If you do this, it will be a taboo and you will become the target of public criticism, especially the position of the eunuch of the East Factory.

Like the cabinet ministers of the outer court, the position of the inner court also needs to be "recommended by the court" and can only be held after writing and unanimously recognized by the class.

This system was proposed and established by Zhangyin Huaien during the Hongzhi period, aiming to prevent the eunuchs around the emperor from relying on favoritism and taking office, breaking the rules in the palace, resulting in the emergence of Liu Jin and Wang Zhenna and other disasters to the power of the state.

Over the past century, the effect was obvious. Even Feng Bao, the eunuch who was most trusted in this dynasty, dared not break this rule, and after he received the trust, he was not as good as Wang Zhen and Liu Jin.

If someone does not follow this system, it will be the enemy of the Communist Party of the Palace.

Therefore, compared with all the colleagues in the palace, no matter how good the position of the eunuch of the East Factory was, Zhang Cheng had to consider it carefully. After thinking about it, he would never dare to recommend himself.

Because, doing this will not end well.

Before him, Eunuch Zhang Cheng, no one had challenged this unspoken rule, but the outcome was really sad.

This person is Zhang Jing, the eunuch of the East Factory, as the first admiral.

Zhang Jing entered the palace in the 26th year of Jiajing. He was under the name of Zhang Hong, the eunuch of the Sili. He was just a little scholar and had a strong sense of enthusiasm. He was very favored by the young Emperor Wanli. He often criticized and expelled Feng Bao for Wanli and defeated Feng in one fell swoop.

After Feng Bao stepped down, the East Factory also faced a situation of no charge. At that time, the Eunuch Zhang Jing, regardless of the opposition of his adoptive father Zhang Hong and the rules of the palace, recommended himself in front of Wanli and asked to be the eunuch of the East Factory.

Wanli approved him and asked him to be in charge of the inner palace's custody and custody. However, Zhang Jing also turned against many colleagues and had a high status in the palace. From time to time, eunuchs told the emperor that Zhang Jing was not. So two years later, the eunuch in the east factory was confiscated by the emperor and died of military service.

This is called "All the mouths are shining gold", and three people become tigers.

Even if the eunuch of the Admiral Dongchang was the de facto first in the inner court, he could not withstand everyone's attack.

Zhang Jing is a great hero who defeated Feng Bao, and he ended up like this, let alone Zhang Cheng.

A smart person cannot make such stupid things, even if he is very impatient.

Zhang Cheng was disappointed, but he didn't want to make the fake come true and make Ma Tang successful, so he said: "The old slave dare not speak out. The position and weight of the eunuch in the East Factory should be appointed by the Sili Supervisor to be punished by the emperor."

On the surface, everything was decided by the emperor, but the ball did not fall on him, Zhang Cheng.

Jin Zhong glanced at Zhang Cheng with a squinted look.

"How long will it take for the candidate to be appointed by the Sili Supervisor? Dongchang has been missing for so long, it is my own... "

Wanli thought of the cabinet that was also short of people, and suddenly said to Jin Zhong: "You will go to Fuqing's Prime Minister's Mansion tomorrow. He said that the candidates for the cabinet ministers are my desirable to Wu Daonan and Fang Congzhe."

"Yes, the emperor."

Jin Zhong was happy, and what was happy was that the emperor was finally willing to replenish the ministers, and Wu Daonan and Fang Congzhe were supplemented, which was a good thing for Eunuch Jin.

Wu Daonan was a former Minister of Rites and was not from the various parties. Fang Congzhe was the candidate for Ye Xianggao, but he was from the Zhejiang Party.

There are four candidates for the chief minister Ye Xianggao and the Ministry of Personnel. The first two are all Donglin Party members, one is Liu Yiyin and the other is Han Du.

In other words, the emperor rejected the Grand Secretary of the Donglin Party and added two cabinet ministers who were not Donglin School, with the obvious intention.

The two great scholars who are not from the Donglin Party must have been a great good thing for Jin Zhong from the Imperial Concubine Sect, and this can be seen from the soothing expression of the Imperial Concubine.

It doesn't matter to Zhang Cheng who adds to the cabinet. He is a "neutral faction" or "emperor faction". He has never participated in the dispute over the throne of the Eastern Palace. Therefore, no matter who is a cabinet minister, it is not a big deal to him. As long as the emperor is in one day, his eunuch Zhang will be a big shot for one day.

It was just strange why the emperor suddenly changed his temper. But it was okay. I couldn't decide the candidate for the eunuch in the East Factory today, and it would not make it difficult for him to be a good man from Eunuch Zhang.

Unexpectedly, the emperor immediately said, "I will write an order to manage the punishment of thousands of households in the East Factory, and I will be fined for one year to show my effectiveness!"

One year's salary fine?

Jin Zhong and Zhang Cheng were stunned when they heard the Emperor's words. The Emperor's words were really serious. There was no admiral and eunuch in the East Factory, so it was inevitable that some mistakes would be made, but what's the matter with the Qianhu family?

If the emperor really punishes, the punishment would be too light. And there is no reason. After all, when many mining tax officers were killed in the past, the eunuch in Dongchang was Chen Ju, but he did not see the emperor, how about you treat Eunuch Chen? Now that Eunuch Chen is gone, you can bring up the old things again, which is a big deal...

Not so kind enough.

Jin and Zhang both complained in their hearts.

After Wanli finished punishing the Dongchang to punish the salary of a thousand households, he stood there without saying a word. He had a bad legs and feet, and he leaned half on the table. Looking at his expression, he didn't know what he was thinking.

Jin Zhong and Zhang Cheng only act as emperor and have a later text, so they dare not speak casually. However, Concubine Zheng knew what her husband was thinking. She had been with her husband for more than 20 years and was more familiar with the emperor's nature than anyone else.

From the fact that the emperor suddenly added two cabinet ministers who were not from Donglin, she guessed that the emperor was hesitant about the candidate for the eunuch in the East Factory, otherwise he would have decided long ago.

At least, the emperor did not seem to want to appoint Ma Tang or the two in front of him. Otherwise, the emperor would just give him a direct appointment, or wait for the candidates of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of

After all, my husband just wanted to show his attitude, just like a hunger strike that day to force the cabinet.

And finally, it is still the matter of Jiangnan.

The reason why my husband got angry was Wei Liangchen's memorial, because some people in Jiangnan were too brave. The husband was afraid that the maritime affairs would not be able to be completed and that he would not be able to get the money, which would further implicate the bonds in Shouning. So he wanted to express his attitude, but this attitude could not be expressed too much.

In other words, his husband didn't want to sell the eunuch in Dongchang "cheap", and he pointed to the vacant seat and could make a real money.

Whether it is Ma Tang or others, you will give it to whoever pays more.

No matter how you look at it, your husband is rational and does not have the impulse to send out the popular position of eunuchs in the East Factory.

If you can't lose money and you can't do anything, the emperor will be embarrassed by this.

Thinking of the big "gift bag" handed over by the father's daughter, the imperial concubine came up with a plan. Since her husband didn't want to entrust the eunuch in the East Factory for the time being, then we should have a temporary solution.

"Your Majesty, your salary is a fine, but you still have to do what you should do. If Your Majesty has no choice, I think you can leave it first and have a good time. But now your Majesty has to do something, otherwise if such a thing happens again, Your Majesty will be angry... As Your Majesty said, if they dare to harm Your Majesty's slaves, they may not dare to harm Your Majesty. Could it be that Your Majesty wants to be worried every day when you sleep?"

The Imperial Concubine was inciting the fire...

Jin Zhong and Zhang Cheng were very cold when they heard the concubine say this.

When she was furious just now, she accidentally pushed the imperial concubine. Wanli felt a little guilty. Hearing that she said, she opened her eyes and said softly: "What should I do with the meaning of the concubine?"

The imperial concubine said: "The matter was caused by His Majesty's opening of the sea. Since it was a maritime affairs, it was handled by the maritime affairs office. Why blame the factory guards? No matter how far water cannot save the near fire."

"What does beloved concubine mean?" Wanli was a little puzzled.

"Wei Liangchen was appointed as the imperial envoy to the maritime eunuch by His Majesty. He may have the responsibility of investigating and guarding the land and the people. My intention is that it is better to set up another guard in Jiangnan, so that the little girl dare not peek."

"Eunuch, the governor of Jiangnan?"
