Six hundred and fortieth chapters cane death

Wei Zhongxian was so angry that Keshi became angry that he said that, and then Keshi went to the Qing Palace to report the matter first. Wei Zhongxian was going to go again. After a while, Keshi returned with a smile. Seeing Wei Zhongxian's depressed look, Keshi said, "It's a blessing in disguise, congratulations."

"What are you talking about at this time?" Wei Zhongxian warned Keshi: "You have to be careful when you speak."

Keshi has such careless temper. She didn't take it seriously after being warned, but said casually: "Did you really have a happy event? The emperor was furious when he heard about this and had already ordered you to take charge of the East Factory. So I would like to congratulate you, eunuch Bingbi and admiral of the East Factory, and from now on, you can call you a factory minister."

This is a great joy!

Although Wei Zhongxian was cautious, he was still very happy when encountering such a thing.

As Keshi said, the eunuch of the East Factory was always called the factory minister and one of the major powerful figures in the inner court. The first real power figure was of course the eunuch in charge of the Yin, and was called the Yin Gong in the inner court. The outer court also respected the eunuch of the Bingbi. If the cabinet assistant did not maintain a considerable contact with the Bingbi and had a good personal relationship with the Bingbi, it would be difficult to stay in the auxiliary position. Generally speaking, the eunuchs of the Silijian were all from the Nei Shutang and were taught by Hanlin since childhood. It was also the court that considers that the need for a certain cooperative relationship between the Sili and the cabinet should be maintained. If they blindly confronted, it would only delay the government's affairs.

The second is the eunuch of the Imperial Horse Prison. The Imperial Horse Prison controls the direct force controlled by the inner court, which is the famous Four Guards of the Imperial Horse Prison. Now the Jing camp is corrupt and has always been directly controlled by the eunuch, which is equivalent to the backing of the eunuch. Therefore, if the Jing camp collapses, the Four Guards still maintain a very complete system. At least in terms of the number of people and the arsenal reserve, the Four Guards are a relatively intact Beijing camp soldiers in the Jing camp.

The generals of Zhou Fengji and Huang Degong during the Chongzhen period were all from the Four Guards Jingying and the Imperial Horse Supervisor. The most famous one was Wang Zhi during the Chenghua period. He was the eunuch of the Imperial Horse Supervisor and led troops to fight many times.

In recent years, due to the sharp decline in combat effectiveness of the Beijing camp soldiers and the improvement of the nine-sided important towns, the court no longer used the Beijing camp to fight against each other like the time when the country first arrived in Chenghua, so the status of the eunuch of the Imperial Horse Prison has declined. The status of the Admiral of the East Factory has always been quite high because of his surveillance of the inner court, the Jinyiwei and the entire outer court. Wei Zhongxian was the eunuch of Tianqi's most trusted. He did enter the Silijian without the systematic training of the Nei Shutang. This was a rare anomaly in the inner court of the Ming Dynasty. In addition, the position of the Admiral of the East Factory was even more powerful.

"This position," Wei Zhongxian sighed, "We have indeed thought about it for a long time. With it, we will be more confident in dealing with the Donglin Party's people. But to be honest, if they hadn't been aggressive and refused to be with our family, why would our family have to work hard to do these things!"

Three days later, King Xin entered the palace again, and this time he successfully met Tianqi. The two brothers had a long talk. Of course, King Xin comforted the emperor. Tianqi felt comfort in his heart and encouraged King Xin to read more books when he was in the palace and not waste time. King Xin naturally agreed to the emperor.

Neither brother talked about sensitive topics, because Apocalypse was still very young after all, and King Xin was only a teenager in his teens.

If Tianqi never gave birth to a prince and grew to a safer age, such as two or three years old, then there would be no way for the king to be a vassal state. Because of this, the officials of the Ministry of Rites never mentioned that they wanted to believe the king to be a vassal state. The officials of the Ming Dynasty wanted the prince who had a title to get out of the capital quickly. Staying there was an unstable factor. Civil officials hated the unknown and uncontrollable variables the most.

King Xin could not leave, nor could he prepare for many matters to go to the fiefdom, such as the construction of the fiefdom's palace, the industry given to King Xin, and many other matters that the emperor and the outside dynasty had to sue for the emperor and the foreign dynasty. The Ming Dynasty's relatives became increasingly prosperous, and the problem was that the financial support was that the financial resources had been reduced by half during the Wanli period, and the court and the people gradually wanted to let go of the royal family. However, due to the delay of the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty, it was not until the Chongzhen period that they were truly relaxed, and several talents from the royal family were also produced. However, by that time, they had accumulated difficulties and were useless.

Because of all kinds of embarrassment, when talking about the death of the prince, the two brothers really couldn't talk to each other. The conversation process seemed to be more polite. In less than half an hour, the king of Xin said goodbye, and Tianqi did not try to keep the brother as usual.

No matter how generous Tianqi is, he is always a heart-wrenching without a prince. The emperor's brother, Xin Wang, is now equal to half a crown prince. Brother is still brother, and it is not a pleasant option.

When King Xin went to Qianqing Gate to get into the sedan chair, he saw several eunuchs dragging away a little eunuch who had been beaten to death. The ground was covered with blood. Several others were carrying buckets of water and were sweeping water.

King Yizheng of Xin said to the people around him: "Ask what's going on."

The palace is not as thought outside, and the palace maids or eunuchs can be executed at will. Of course, there are also cases of execution. Generally, if you commit a serious crime, you will be executed. It is even rare for you to be executed in the Qianqing Gate to be executed.

A eunuch passed by King Xin. Without saying a few words, the eunuch who was sentenced to come and worshiped: "Your Highness, King Xin, is the slave who was beaten to death in the palace and was in public under the order of Eunuch Wei."

King Xin was shocked, and tried hard to make a silent expression on his face, and said casually: "What kind of evil words are they?"

The eunuch bowed and said, "It's about the death of the prince. There are many evil words. Eunuch Wei ordered that anyone who talks nonsense and makes up evil words will be beaten to death immediately once it is verified."

A trace of anger flashed across King Xin's face, which was still childish. Of course, he had heard that the death of the prince was related to Wei Zhongxian. It was Wei Zhongxian who colluded with Keshi to kill the prince in order to achieve their goal of covering the sky in the palace. The story was mentioned by the lecturer of the royal palace. King Xin asked someone to inquire about it. There was indeed such a rumor. He did not expect that Wei Zhongxian was so brave that in order to cover up the people's verbalism, he actually used this violent method.

However, King Xin also knew that the Emperor's brother must be willing to do this. With the Emperor's trust in Wei Zhongxian, even if he spoke, it would be useless. King Xin thought of one thing that Wei Zhongxian dared to murder even the prince, he might not dare to attack him as a prince. Thinking of this, this once very familiar palace in the palace suddenly became very strange and terrifying. King Xin didn't want to stay here for a minute and immediately said: "Let's go back to the palace."

After King Xin returned to the palace and breathed a sigh of relief, he said seriously to a eunuch in the palace beside him: "Inquiring about Wei Zhongxian's preferences, we will give him a generous gift."

"Yes, but the royal palace is newly established, and the expenses are quite high. I will find a way." The eunuch of the royal palace felt that there was no need to do such a thing, and it was a taboo to get married to ministers with relatives and vassals, not to mention the eunuch in the palace. However, he knew that King Xin's temper was in a state of affairs. If he dissuaded, he would definitely make King Xin furious. Without any stop at this time, if King Xin regrets himself in the future, he will definitely treat himself as a scapegoat. He can only be extremely careful and dare not make any mistakes.

"Oh" King Xin was indeed a little embarrassed. Since the Liao incident, the more expensive the Ming Dynasty was, the more expensive the Ming Dynasty was, the more money the Emperor Tianqi gave him, so he could not afford to support the royal palace. However, the royal palace was newly established, and various expenses were indeed very high. Now he had no country and could not have his own industry. For example, when King Wang Shufu was in the Kingdom of King Fu, Emperor Wanli gave hundreds of thousands of gold and silver, but also asked for a large amount of land for King Fu as the royal palace official village. After King Fu's Kingdom of King Fu, he unscrupulously forcibly merged local land, snatched various industries that made money, opened money shops and official shops, etc., and accumulated a lot of wealth in a short time. People allegedly said that King Fu was much richer than those princes who had been in vassals for hundreds of years. King Xin had always felt that King Fu was a little too greedy, but at this time he understood it.

"You go and do this." King Xin said in a hint: "No matter what, you have to do it."

Since King Xin said this, it would be difficult to blame himself for the matter in the future. The eunuch of the royal palace said happily: "Don't worry, your highness, I will definitely do this."

The next day, the eunuch of the royal palace found out about Wei Zhongxian's preferences, and he decided to spend a lot of money to buy a good night pearl. That day, the eunuch of the royal palace sent a small eunuch to Dengshikou to find a shop to inquire. A high-quality night pearl cost three thousand silver. This surprised him. Of course, the royal palace could not afford the silver, and could not even take out half of it.

"Just find a merchant to borrow money." Fengyu Cao Huachun said with an idea: "As our royal family and His Highness Xin, we will never be able to borrow this little money."

"That's true." said the eunuch of the royal palace: "If you make it clear, you will be rewarded with salt in the future, or if you pay it back after our country, you will give them interest, and it will not take many years."

Cao Huachun nodded and volunteered: "I'll leave this matter to me and I'll do it properly."

The eunuch of the royal palace smiled and glanced at him, saying, "Then let it go to you, do it well, Your Highness appreciates you very much."

Cao Huachun is from Wang An's lineage. Since Wang Xin learned that Wang An was poisoned by Wei Zhongxian, he trusted Wang An himself and the eunuchs from Wang An's lineage. Cao Huachun was selected to be Xin Wang's mansion or Xin Wang's mansion. After entering the mansion, he was trusted by the king. He was quite loyal and honest, and he was old, so he would not be able to do things without any sense.

After dark, Li Guobin, Liu Ji and Wang Xiang gathered together, and their faces were not bad.

Recently, due to the smooth mining of copper mines, the business war in Zhangjiakou has also been won, and the local exchanges have returned to normal. The military department has increased its support for the capital. Vehicles carrying copper coins have entered Beijing for many consecutive days. Of course, there are not many numbers at a time. In places like the capital, the military department adheres to Zhang Han's will to keep a low profile and keep a low profile as much as possible, making money first and having a second reputation, which is completely different from the purpose of acting in Zhangjiakou and other places.

As a result, the exchange rate in the capital is still mainly small. Fortunately, the copper coins in the capital are leaking out in large quantities after Shanxi merchants purchased them, and the copper prices in the capital are rising steadily. Although there are copper coins in other places inflows, the quantity is not enough to stabilize the copper prices. It is still at a high price of 1 to 78. The listing price of Heyusheng is one to 900. This is called a large number of merchants in the store every day. Invisibly, the overall image of Heyusheng is still rising. Among the northern merchants with the capital as the core, Heyusheng's image has gone from ordinary foreign stores to the iron industry, and to the top-level big business companies today, which can be said to be a step by step. It is not easy to walk.
