Gu Bingqian, a hard-core eunuch, called Wei Zhongxian the first person to "Father Wei". He used all means to join the cabinet and did not hesitate to destroy his reputation.

But at the beginning of such a reform, he retreated.

But he wants to get out of it, is it possible?

Even if Emperor Tianqi approved the report, will Wei Zhongxian let him go?

The emperor's reform also caused a stir among the eunuch party. If this starts, countless people will follow suit.

Then this "eunuch party" that was worked hard to manage will collapse.

Wei Zhongxian would not allow such a thing to happen, at least it did not happen to him.

Sometimes, destroying a person often requires a sentence, which doesn’t even need to be said by him. Unfortunately, Gu Bingqian is the one that Wei Zhongxian intends to destroy.

At this time, we need to use someone to stabilize the court. Gu Bingqian jumped out, and he was the identity of a minister and eunuch party. Who would he look for if he didn’t?

Wei Zhongxian didn't know the emperor's intention to do this. He only knew that the emperor was definitely not as stupid as the civil officials thought.

What he had to do was to maintain the balance of the current ruling when the emperor was not in Beijing and issue this imperial edict.

After sending it down, no matter how much the flood is, it is not something that a eunuch needs to worry about. Since the emperor made such a decision, he must be prepared.

Wei Zhongxian understood Emperor Tianqi, who would not fight unprepared wars.

Some of the ministers who came to force the palace were also "eunuch party" promoted by Wei Zhongxian. At this moment, they stood together with other civil officials from the Donglin, Qi, Chu and Zhejiang party and other party to oppose this reform.

Wei Zhongxian secretly remembered everyone in his heart. He would not care about the reasons these people had. He has always been the real villain in the words of gentlemen.

Vicious, vicious, and vengeful. These are all synonyms for his notoriousness. Wei Zhongxian would not refute it. On the contrary, he would regard it as a compliment.

Wei Zhongxian was the most disappointed to those "eunuch party" officials who were sting outside the country.

When they were promoted, they were hoping to speak for the emperor or himself at critical moments and control the court. However, they turned against him at this time and did not help His Majesty, but instead opposed His Majesty.

Then why are they still left?

Wei Zhongxian sneered, looked around the ministers, and said, "Please come back, the empress is weak and can't withstand such great tossing."

"The Empress can't afford to toss, can the Ming Dynasty afford to toss? "

The person who stood up and was in power made Wei Zhongxian recall the Donglin Party when Emperor Tianqi first ascended the throne.

"You Shiren, I think Tao Lang's case is waiting for another trial, what do you think?"

Wei Zhongxian stood beside Zhang Yan, with a natural expression, but there was a hint of murderous intent in his words, which made the ministers shudder.

You Shiren, whose courtesy name is Jiansheng, was from Jiayu County. He moved to Jiangxia. He passed away in the 38th year of Wanli. He served as the magistrate of Changxing and is now the censor of the Censorate.

He was a disciple of Yang Lian, a famous Donglin Party member. He had visited Liaodong to observe the army. Since then, he has been fond of talking and boasting of himself as a civil and military talent.

In the second year of Tianqi, Zhu Youxiao issued an edict to re-enable Yuan Keli as the governor of Denglai, responsible for receiving food and salary for the subordinates of the general Mao Wenlong, Zhenjiang.

Tao Huang was re-activated because he was recommended by Yuan Keli and served as the Senate of Denglai Harbour.

In half a year, he assisted Yuan Keli in raising 30,000 troops, 10,000 good horses, more than 2,000 ships, and 1 million deputy armored wars.

The Denglai Navy Army can be said to have excellent soldiers and sufficient food.

Liaodong relied on Xiong Tingbi's reign and Denglai enabled Yuan Keli, which proved the outstanding strategic vision of the Emperor of Apocalypse.

But the problem also came, this was a difficult case that even Zhu Youxiao was reluctant to investigate too many.

Tao Huang was first recommended by Yuan Keli before he was re-activated. The latter also trusted him very much. Although the relationship between the two was not a master or apprentice, they were even better than that of the master or apprentice.

Since Yuan Keli was re-activated by Emperor Tianqi, he has been appointing Tao Huang to be responsible for shipping food first.

Tao Huangxian did not disappoint his high expectations. In half a year, the island of Pixie Island had 400,000 s of military rations, and the land transportation year-on-year, saving more than 2 million taels of silver.

Yuan Keli not only often asked Zhu Youxiao for his appointment, but also repeatedly praised Tao Huangxian's talents among the officials of Denglai. To put it bluntly, he was trained as a successor.

However, the superficial "data" that Tao Huang maintained first was soon exposed by the conscientious "eunuch party".

In July of the first year of Tianqi, Cui Chengxiu, Minister of War, and Wu Chunfu, the doctor of the Ministry of Rites, came one after another, shocking half of the imperial court.

The two of them had the same impeachment. They all said that Tao Lang first built a ship at the Denglai Harbour and also used the convenience of his power to cooperate with the pirates and gained a lot of self-interest when he was allocating food to Pi Island.

Afterwards, Zhenjiang General Mao Wenlong sent back to Pidao's grain account list received from Denglai, which almost confirmed the impeachment between Cui Chengxiu and Wu Chunfu, which was undoubtedly confirmed.

Immediately, the Dongchang Tiqi visited the door, and Tao Huang was dismissed from office and was severely tortured in the Dongchang Prison in the capital.

Although Tao Huang refused to admit it in his death, the Dongchang soon found favorable evidence, namely the letter of the Censor You Shiren of the Censorate, as well as the shipbuilding and grain purchase accounts that Denglai and Pi Island were not matched.

Tao Huangxian's incident was revealed, and You Shiren was also caught in the forefront of public opinion because of that letter, but he was guided by a "expert" and quickly became smart.

As Tao Huangxian's recommendation, the governor of Denglai Yuan Keli was inevitably imprisoned once the matter was investigated, which Zhu Youxiao did not want to see.

Whenever You Shiren is asked, he will bite him to death. This is the idea of ​​the governor of Denglai Yuan Keli. In addition, the secret help of some people forced Yuan Keli to resign.

In this way, Tao Huang's case was in a deadlock.

Zhu Youxiao had to unconditionally appoint these two people on the issue of Xiong Tingbi and Yuan Keli, and only gave Wei Zhongxian one meaning, that is, to protect Yuan Keli no matter how.

Wei Zhongxian realized the sage intention and knew that Liaodong and Denglai, Xiong Tingbi and Yuan Keli were indispensable at that time.

In the end, he decided to put the overall situation first and no longer interfere in this matter.

Not long after, the Dongchang hurriedly closed the case of Tao Huangxian, and only handled Tao Huangxian and some officials responsible for the delivery of grain to Pi Island, but did not continue to investigate You Shiren.

Since then, You Shiren thought he had seized the small handle of Dongchang and became more and more rampant, and some Donglin party members became more and more agitated, trying to get involved in the court again.

Wei Zhongxian's threat made You Shiren subconsciously shudder.

However, when he remembered Yuan Keli's handle, he glared at Wei Zhongxian again, hesitated for a while, and said loudly: "Does the Empress begs such eunuchs so indulge in this eunuch here? Is it slandering loyal and kindness?!"

Zhang Yan naturally didn't know how much helplessness and open and secret struggles were in this so-called "Tao Huang Xian's case". Seeing that Wei Zhongxian's face was blue and white, she sighed:

"Everyone please step back first. At this time, let me report to the concubine and then make a decision."

The ministers whispered, and You Shiren lowered his head. Regardless of the embarrassment in Zhang Yan's face, he looked rosy and extremely excited. He moved forward a few steps and vented his displeasure:

"Why did the Empress refuse the national affairs?"

"Please meet the concubine immediately, report the facts, and advise the emperor. Otherwise, my Ming Dynasty will be in a state of no return!"
