1549, Xinghe Tuanlian once again stayed in the Wei Palace
As soon as Chongzhen looked at Zhang Geda, an old ruffian, he knew what he was planning.
"Wang Cheng'en, draft the decree." Chongzhen looked at the cowering old fugitive from Liaodong Town bitterly, and said: "Zhang Geda, the official of the Jinyi Guard Guarding Thousand Households, has done a good job in escorting him. He will be promoted to the commander of the Jinyi Guard Guarding Thousand Households. Immediately.
The commander-in-chief will lead the Xinghe regiment to train troops and move into the imperial city. He will stay in the imperial palace of the Forbidden City. I admire you here!"
Zhang Gaoda was dumbfounded, and now he really couldn't leave.
Before, I could just leave without saying goodbye. Anyway, I brought His Majesty back to the Forbidden City safely. I gave an explanation to both the Master and Your Majesty. But I was too honest and didn't escape quietly. Now I can't leave anymore.
If you leave now, you will be rebelling against the order.
Seeing Zhang Geda crying and almost crying, Chongzhen felt happy.
Huh! You dog is just dumbfounded right now. Don’t you think I can’t see your little thoughts?
"Zhang Qianhu, don't always think about one-third of an acre of land in your home. You have to give up your small family to protect everyone. Big rivers have water and small rivers are full of them. How can you have a home without a country?" Luo Yangxing persuaded at the side.
Zhang Jida turned back and glanced at him, which made Luo Yangxing tremble in his heart.
The look in the old ruffian's eyes made him shudder.
He immediately became furious, I am also the head of Jinyiwei after all, how dare you, a slave with Jinyiwei's household registration, have such an attitude.
But then I thought about it, Tuan Lian and his gang had always been shady, and they were favored by the Holy Spirit. After much deliberation, I really didn’t dare to provoke him, so I turned my head to the side angrily and ignored him.
Zhang Geda went to mobilize the army with a frown on his face.
Xinghe Tuanlian escorted the emperor to Yongding Gate but did not enter. No army was allowed to enter the capital without an imperial edict. Only Zhang Geda and thirty cavalrymen from his general banner escorted the emperor to outside Dong'an Gate.
If the emperor hadn't asked him to follow him, he would have taken the opportunity to escape.
Xinghe Tuanlian returned to Jingshan Campus again. This was their last residence in the capital. It is now empty.
The situation is tense now, and the emperor is not at ease with the nobles and civil servants. He is worried that someone will fish in troubled waters. In the past two hundred years of the Ming Dynasty, the most common thing was the coup.
As long as you take the opportunity to control the emperor, you can dominate the court.
This is an unsolvable loophole since Qin Shihuang established the centralized system. Wei Zhongxian and the Hakka family were able to dominate the government and the public because they were close to the center of power.
Zhu Yuanzhang died suddenly, and it was most likely that the emperor's grandson and the civil servants jointly poisoned him. There are many doubts. Zhu Di died suddenly on the way back from the Northern Expedition. The cause of death was unknown, and the civil servants did not announce the funeral directly. When he returned to Beijing, the civil servants
The supportive crown prince helped him to ascend the throne, and then the funeral was held.
Ten months after he ascended the throne, Renzong Emperor Zhu Gaochi suddenly died suddenly and was removed from the Imperial Ancestral Temple in later generations. Emperor Xuanzong Zhu Zhanji was probably poisoned to death. Many scholars in the history circle suspect that Queen Sun Ruowei did it.
By the time he reaches Baozong, he will be a legend in his life.
After his younger brother ascended the throne, it was basically certain that all three members of the family were poisoned by the Queen Mother Sun Ruowei. The Baozong later tried to seize power from his mother, but the capital camp was controlled by his uncles. He had no military power.
Sun Ruowei was worried that her natal family would be purged after her son came to power, so she took control of her son.
Yingzong ordered Cao Qin, his nephew Cao Qin, who trusted the eunuch Cao Jixiang, to attack the Forbidden City in an attempt to liberate himself from the control of his mother. As a result, Cao Qin was a waste and had never beaten his uncles. He drowned himself. After Cao Qin failed,
He was convicted of treason.
After that, Yingzong was kept under house arrest and had to pay respects to the Queen Mother once a day. He and Guangxu became brothers in difficulty. Jingying was tightly controlled by the Sun family.
In the following dynasties, the emperors were short-lived.
Emperor Wu Zong fell into the water and died. There must be a conspiracy. The subsequent Emperor Jiajing escaped many conspiracies and assassinations in his life. His palace was on fire several times, and he was almost strangled to death by the queen's maid.
Later, a fire broke out in Kunning Palace and the queen was killed.
His tombstone should be engraved with, "The queen wanted to kill me, but I killed the queen."
Emperor Mu Zong and Emperor Wanli died a happy death, but then Taichang and Tianqi both died of conspiracy. Hongwan fell into the water again.
Therefore, Chongzhen spent his whole life carefully guarding against eunuchs, harems, relatives, civil servants, military leaders, and nobles looking for opportunities to seize his own door.
In fact, he was not neurotic. He forced the former prince-in-law to contribute money and finance. As a result, his son was killed in the palace. The nobleman used this to warn him not to act recklessly.
The palace has never been a safe place. There are murderous intentions here. All forces are secretly infiltrating the palace. This process is long-term, continuous, and stubborn.
The concubines of the Ming Dynasty were all selected from among the people and could be manipulated by civil servants. Many of the women sent to the palace were not the father-in-law's biological children. They were all Yangzhou thin horses trained by various factions since childhood. These female spies were assigned to low-level officials.
, went to the rich businessman’s house for a talent show.
There must be something to blackmail these women. Otherwise, how can they control them if they have received divine favor? Or their family members may be controlled, or there may be other means to control them.
They are all time bombs. Generally, when the emperor threatens the interests of certain interest groups, these sleeping killers will be awakened to accept and carry out tasks.
In addition to concubines, palace maids and eunuchs are also the hardest hit areas. These people come from society, and their backgrounds are difficult to find out. During the process of entering the palace and the selection process, there are too many opportunities to use others to put their own people in. Therefore, the Ming Palace followed
Like a sieve.
What's more, Chongzhen has not completely controlled the harem until now. Concubine Zheng is still there, and various forces in the palace are still there. They are just temporarily suppressed by the emperor. Especially Concubine Zheng's people, as long as they are not exposed, Chongzhen
Can't find it at all.
There were only eunuchs around the emperor, never maids. He would only have brief contact with women after turning over the signs. There is a reason for this. When these women were sent to the emperor, they had absolutely nothing. Unless they used their hair to wear the emperor
Except for strangulation, which is a difficult operation, there is absolutely no way to attack the emperor.
Eunuchs, harems, relatives, civil servants, military leaders, and nobles all have the ability to reach out to him.
Being an emperor is a truly high-risk profession. Sitting in that chair is even more dangerous than being on the battlefield where large armies are fighting.
Puyi wrote an autobiography called "The First Half of My Life", in which he wrote that he never felt safe in the palace.
The eunuchs in the palace were divided into two gangs. In order to compete for profits, they mainly stole the property in the palace, transported it to Dashanlan and sold it, and often fought with each other.
Once, a group of eunuchs had a meeting. The hostile eunuchs sent a young eunuch to eavesdrop. The young eunuch made a hole in the window paper with his finger and peeked in. He was discovered.
The eunuch inside shot him in the eye with a firecracker, blinding one of his eyes.
