“Comfortable~”

Emperor Chongzhen was leaning on the tub, soaking in the hot water comfortably. The pressure he had endured during the past few days of battle had made him physically and mentally exhausted, but at this moment he was relieved.

The harm caused by Huang Taiji's command of the Eight Banners to invade the Ming Dynasty was minimized with his little strategizing.

The Eight Banners of the Jianlu invaders in this war failed to rob gold, silver, grain, population and other means of production from the Ming Dynasty. This was a loss-making transaction for the Jianlu who fought in a roundabout way.

The areas destroyed by the Jianlu were limited to Zunhua and Santunying.

Compared with the original timeline, the losses and damage caused by Jisi's changes are all bearable, but Jianlu is different.

The disadvantage of insufficient core personnel is vividly reflected at this moment.

"Huang Taiji, you are a dog slave. I'm afraid you are still worried about how to stabilize the order of the Eight Banners in the future." Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen raised the corner of his mouth slightly.

Emperor Chongzhen felt much better when he thought of the disadvantages he had caused to Huang Taiji by commanding the Ming army and defeating the Jianlu invaders.

"Crash..."

Standing up from the bathtub, Wang Chengen, who was waiting outside the palace, heard the noise and hurriedly called the eunuchs to go in and serve his prince to change his clothes.

"Wang Banban, how is the outer court doing now?"

Emperor Chongzhen, who was being served to change his clothes, stretched out his hands, raised his head and said: "How are the cabinet and ministries doing? Is there any movement?"

"Your Majesty, the news that Yuan Chonghuan was taken to Jinyiwei Prison has been revealed under the arrangement of Luo Yangxing." Wang Chengen leaned forward and said.

"Now the ministers in the foreign court are all showing excitement. It seems that they don't want to ask the Jinyi Guards to review Yuan Chonghuan's case, and want to persuade the emperor to order the three judicial departments to conduct a joint trial."

"interesting."

Emperor Chongzhen lifted the sleeves of his robe, inserted his hands into his jade belt, and walked forward slowly, "I guess many ministers will come to persuade me on the grounds of the lingering poison from the factory guards...Wang Banban, do you think I should

How to deal with it?”

Wang Chengen, who was hunched over and following behind him, felt nervous when he heard this. He quickly leaned over and said: "Your Majesty, I am stupid. I don't dare to speak well about such important matters."

Since he followed Emperor Chongzhen on his personal expedition, Wang Chengen has seen all the emperor's performances and kept them in his heart. He also set a bottom line for himself. He must not interfere in anything involving government affairs or military matters.

"Is there something in my mind that I dare not say? Or have I really not thought about it?" Emperor Chongzhen, who was walking towards Dongnuan Pavilion, glanced at Wang Chengen and said, "If you have any ideas, just tell me. I forgive you."

If you want to check and balance the power of the court, you cannot do without the group of eunuchs in the inner court. Compared with the group of civil servants in the outer court, the eunuchs who have no descendants obviously have higher trust in him, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

Whether these eunuchs or eunuchs in the inner court, everything they have comes from the imperial power. Without the imperial power, they are nothing.

As long as there are checks and balances in the inner court and there are no powerful but easy-to-use Wei eunuchs like Wei Zhongxian, Emperor Chongzhen does not mind having more useful 'Wei eunuchs' around him.

It may sound awkward to say, but the principle is very simple. He, the great emperor of tomorrow, needs helpers around him, but he is not a helper who can cover the sky with one hand.

"Your Majesty... I think it may be better to stay in Jinyiwei instead of handing over to the Sanfa Division." Wang Chengen, who was hesitating in his heart, said after hesitating for a moment.

"This time the emperor returned to the court in triumph, he just did some things that were beneficial to the country, but he encountered such a disturbing thing. If he doesn't deal with it, I'm afraid..."

When he reached this point, Wang Chengen did not dare to continue talking.

"Well, that's very well said."

Emperor Chongzhen walked into Dongnuan Pavilion and praised Wang Chengen slightly: "Since you are serving me, you still have to have the vision you should have.

Go and bring me the memorial submitted by Cao Ban accompanying them. I want to see how the inner court has changed during this period."

"This slave takes the order."

Returning to his sacred and inviolable absolute territory, Emperor Chongzhen was not in a hurry to pay too much attention to the changes in the situation in the outer court. Instead, he focused his energy on the inner court.

Before fighting against the outside world, you must first settle down inside.

If the inner court is not well settled, then why bother fighting with the civil servants of the DPRK and China?

However, even if Emperor Chongzhen did not understand, he could still imagine in his mind what kind of disturbance this would cause as Yuan Chonghuan was captured and imprisoned in Jinyiwei Prison, especially for the ministers who had previously supported Yuan's faction.

Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but sigh when he thought of this. It is said that the emperor is a lonely man. This statement is not false at all. In the struggle for absolute power, if there are no helpers around, he wants to compete with the huge and intricate group of civil servants.

, that is a very difficult thing.

Imperial Party.

Inner court.

Factory guard...

When he thought of this, Emperor Chongzhen started writing. This time he personally conquered the Ming Dynasty and defeated the Jianlu who invaded the Ming Dynasty, which brought him a lot of political benefits.

Counting from the Battle of Sarhu, the Ming Dynasty has fought against the Jianlu for so many years, but it has never killed so many Jianlu on the battlefield.

But this time, under his personal expedition, the armies that went into battle achieved impressive results. Even though there was no battle, it was he, the Emperor of Heaven, who came to the battlefield to command the battle in person, but the Emperor's own halo will also be the greatest.

A share of glory is bestowed upon oneself.

'There are really a lot of things to do next.'

Looking at what he had written casually, Emperor Chongzhen frowned slightly and said: 'If you want to defend the imperial power, you must not give up the power of the factory guards.

However, the existing Dongchang and Jinyiwei cannot meet their own needs. This simple check and balance is not enough. The key is to make money for themselves.

Remember, it is affiliated with the inner court. There are many palaces in the royal family. Every year, they do not turn over the money to the internal funds, but also pay a lot of money. It is time to clean up these big rats.'

At this time, Emperor Chongzhen was secretly thinking about what he should do next. In the case of Yuan Chonghuan, he could not achieve his political goals in a short time.

But with such a good political advantage, he couldn't just let it go. He was previously busy dealing with the Jianlu invasion and had no intention of in-depth purges of the inner court.

However, the situation is different now. Foreign troubles have been temporarily lifted. It is time for him to clean up some of the cancers in the inner court. In this way, he can also use this opportunity to achieve the political vision he wants to achieve through this in-depth purge of the inner court.
