Chapter One Hundred and Thirty-One

Thanks to the "Smile on the Face" leader Daqi for the reward of the hundred taels of silver from Nekute!

...

Eunuch Wei was very moved and did not dare to move anymore.

In terms of skills and experience, he is really far inferior to the old concubine. If he continues, he may not be as long as the Queen of the Human King.

As the old saying goes, the body is the capital of youth.

After putting on his clothes, my father-in-law talked about the serious business.

He told the imperial concubine all the three parties about the attack on Donglin by the Beijing Chamber of Commerce, and also told the imperial concubine the real purpose of launching a new round of party struggles.

"The twenty-eight people in the book will not fall, and they will all be caught in one go. In this way, Xiaodong's arrogance will disappear. Even if Dadong has his Majesty's affirmation, his wings will not be full. Most of the list are important officials in Donglin in Beijing, especially the Ministry of Rites. After these people were removed, the Empress will follow my previous words and act without any concerns about the obstruction. As long as the order is in hand, Dadong must obey the order, otherwise he will be unfilial. In our dynasty for more than two hundred years, how can an unfilial person become the throne of the emperor?"

The reason why Concubine Zheng failed to enthrone the queen in his previous life was not that Zhu Changluo did not obey Wanli's orders, but that the Ministry of Rites, who was responsible for enthroning the queen, made suggestions and stopped the matter of Concubine Zheng's enthronement as "no such example" and forced the matter of Concubine Zheng to enthrone the queen.

As a result, Zhu Changluo was short-lived and reigned for less than a month, and the matter of the imperial concubine being the queen was gone.

Later, Xi Li was forced to palace by Donglin and had to join forces with the "evil mother-in-law" of that year. Unfortunately, Zheng Shu's identity as a concubine could not deter Donglin. Instead, she asked her to run to her parents' home to intimidate her nephew. In the end, the two women who failed to become queens had no choice but to surrender, thus laying the foundation for the political pattern of the early years of the Tianqi period of Donglin's "all the righteous are in full bloom".

A group of officials who claim to be gentlemen joined forces with the eunuchs in the palace, and the Jinyiwei guards guarding the imperial city dealt with two women who had no political status and could not mobilize any army. Not only did they feel ashamed, but they were proud, which was also rare.

Now, Concubine Zheng and Xi Li are both close comrades-in-arms of Eunuch Wei, and Concubine even gave birth to a son for him. Eunuch Wei naturally could not watch the Donglin Party bully them, and he had to solve the identity problem for these two women no matter what.

A queen mother and a queen, with the strong support of these two women, is Eunuch Wei still afraid of Tianqi or the possible Chongzhen?

The Ministry of Rites is the fundamental solution to the problem.

This is the only institution of the six ministries that has been controlled by the Donglin Party for more than 20 years, and this institution is exactly an insurmountable mountain in front of Zheng and Li.

Han Yu, the current Minister of Rites, is too old to be a good minister, so he can't help but be able to drive him out of the capital, but his deputy minister Sun Shenxing and his subordinate Sun Ruyou must drive him out of the capital.

Especially Sun Ruyou, this person who was the Minister of Rites who broke Queen Zheng Shu's dream.

On that day, Eunuch Wei even picked up a pen and circled Sun Ruyou's name on the list, so as to show that the crimes of this person were collected and cracked down on him more than others.

If you can't control the Ministry of Rites, it's the same if you knock out a few people.

"Shu'er asked me why I suffered such a big loss. I told you that it was to calm people down on one hand, but on the other hand, it was to show weakness, and to ask the people of the Donglin Party to be proud of their nature and relax their vigilance, so that they can use the Beijing Chase to drive them out of the court. Shu'er, are you still bored? "

After hearing this, the imperial concubine said emotionally: "If you don't lose, how can you lose?" She paused, "Do you really want me to be the queen?"

Eunuch Wei pointed his nose with his finger: "Does Shu'er look fake when she looks like me?"

The imperial concubine was so moved that she cried. Since fighting for the foundation of the country, no one has ever thought about her and tried to fight for her. Even if she was an emperor, she never had a husband.

"But it's hard for you to do it alone. Even if the Ministry of Rites does not make things difficult for me, the Sili Supervisor in the palace has not supported me much. Eunuch Jin is old and His Majesty has already allowed him to return home. When he leaves, there is no one in the Sili Supervisor who speaks for me. For example, Zhang Cheng, Ma Tang, Liang Dong, Qian Zhong and others have never been interested in me..."

The concubine's concerns are not without reason. Wei Liangchen is just a fifth-rank admiral maritime eunuch and a central magistrate in Jiangnan. Although he has the military power of the emperor's personal army, it is related to the queen's enthronement. It is not enough to have military power. He also needs to get the support of the great soldiers of the Silijian.

Because the Silijian holds the power to criticize the queen and also controls the Yinsui required to enthrone the queen.

In terms of the political structure of this dynasty, Silijian has never been an institution for slaves in the palace, but an inner court that can stand with the outer court!

"Sun Xian has always been close to Donglin, so he took the seal. If he did not make any mistakes from it, it would be difficult to follow the will of His Majesty."

The Imperial Concubine had a headache. After Chen Ju died, she pushed Jin Zhong to compete for the position of seal, but in the end the emperor decided to Sun Xian, which made her Imperial Concubine unable to control the twenty-four yamen by controlling the ritual supervision.

Thinking about it now, the emperor chose Sun Xian as the eunuch in charge of seals, probably because he had the idea of ​​weakening the power of the imperial concubine.

If you think about it more deeply, it will make people feel even more heartbroken.

No one can guarantee whether the emperor had already started to be wary of the imperial concubine a few years ago.

Eunuch Wei also considered this issue, and he said, "It depends on Shu'er. If your Majesty is unwell, you must try to transfer me back to Beijing, and I will be given the position of the Minister of Li and the Admiral of the Imperial Horse. Then I will deal with those people."

The soldiers, Eunuch Wei, but he did not have them in the name.

Therefore, he needed the identity of eunuch Sili and Bianbi or eunuch Yuma, because only these two identities could allow him to bring the imperial army into the capital openly without being afraid of the foreign court.

With the status and military power, Eunuch Wei can fight with the Donglin Party.

After hearing this, the imperial concubine became anxious: "How can you return to Beijing, and how can you write for Bingbi? You...you are still there!"

Eunuch Wei smiled: "Except Shu'er and Your Majesty, how many people in the palace know that I am not a eunuch?"

“Yes, yes…”

The imperial concubine uneasyly mentioned the name of Zhang Cheng and the eunuch in charge of the Jingshifang whom she was in charge of that year.

"Those two old men have passed away, and now only Zhang Cheng knows that I am not purified."

"Zhang Cheng?"

"Um."

A fierce light suddenly flashed in Eunuch Wei's eyes, "If this person dies, Your Majesty will lie on the hospital bed again. With the support of the Empress, why can't I go back to Beijing?"

The imperial concubine's eyes flashed, and then nodded slightly. This was acquiescent to Eunuch Wei to do what she had to do.

"Apart from Your Majesty, leave everything else to me. You don't have to worry about the East Palace. I have ears and ears. Zhu Changluo can't hide any moves from me..."
