Guo Chaofeng picked up the tea cup and took a slow sip of tea.
Then, he slowly said: "Everyone, do you all know about this matter in the capital?"
Everyone, look at me and I look at you. After a while, an official stood up and said: "Eunuch Guo, you are the eunuch in charge of the Royal Horse Supervisor. Now the emperor wants to thoroughly investigate the palace. Eunuch Guo, you always have to
Just come up with a charter!"
"that is!"
Someone echoed: "If the emperor finds out about the tricks of this imperial village, both you and I will be dead!"
Guo Chaofeng put down the tea bowl in his hand, and then slowly said: "There is a traitor in this court!"
Who is the traitor?
Of course, no need to say more, it’s Zhang Haogu.
If Zhang Haogu hadn't suggested this, would Zhu Youxiao be able to thoroughly investigate Huangzhuang?
There's something fishy about this palace.
Guo Chaofeng is also very clear.
When it comes to the money in his pocket, Guo Chaofeng has always colluded with courtiers to annex land and hang it in the name of the emperor.
There was no need to pay taxes, and one could even get money from the emperor's internal funds to support the tenant farmers.
The harvest is all yours.
Originally, as long as Zhu Youxiao did not investigate, according to established rules, all the money belonged to the eunuchs of the Royal Horse Supervisor.
Guo Chaofeng is also a veteran in the palace. He has been prominent since the Wanli period. When Wang An was the eunuch Bingbi, the eunuch of the ceremonial department, he had faithfully taken refuge with Wang An.
When Wei Zhongxian came to power, Guo Chaofeng gave Eunuch Wei gold and silver and called Eunuch Wei his godfather.
It doesn't matter who is in charge.
However, the lucrative position of Royal Horse Supervisor must belong to Guo Chaofeng.
There is a great relationship between inside and outside.
Now Zhu Youxiao wants to conduct a thorough investigation of Huangzhuang, and they are exposed all at once. If there is a thorough investigation, the relationship between them will be complicated, and we don't know how many people will be killed by then.
"Eunuch Guo, I don't know what you mean?" One official boldly said: "How to prevent the emperor from coming to thoroughly investigate the palace!"
"The treacherous minister Zhang Haogu secretly coerced the emperor out of the city, but was eventually killed by the homeless traitors!"
Guo Chaofeng put down the tea bowl in his hand, but what he said was gloomy.
It makes people shudder.
An official's eyes suddenly widened and he made a horrified voice: "This, this is regicide!"
"if not?"
Guo Chaofeng said coldly: "My lords, once the emperor really lets the emperor investigate to the end, your, my, your heads will not be saved!"
"I don't know, what exactly will Eunuch Guo do?" an official gritted his teeth and stood up and asked.
A thorough investigation of Huangzhuang will lead to their heads sooner or later.
What Guo Chaofeng said is right. As long as the Dog Emperor dies, naturally no one will investigate the palace.
"When the emperor leaves the city, there won't be many guards around him. At most, there will only be about 300 people. At this time!" Guo Chaofeng said slowly: "There are bandits and thieves who suddenly attacked the emperor. What will happen to these 300 people?"
withstand?"
"If we want to deal with these three hundred people, we will need at least a thousand people!" The admiral eunuch on the side said slyly: "After the matter is completed, these thousand people still need to be killed and silenced!"
Guo Chaofeng nodded: "You have to act quickly. Once something unexpected happens to the emperor, we will immediately kill people in Yongding County. We will say that these are evil thieves in Yongding County who killed the emperor without authorization. We killed the thieves under the order. More than a thousand people will say that they are doing it for the country."
Be loyal!"
"Okay!" The admiral eunuch nodded: "In this way, no one will thoroughly investigate the Imperial Manor!"
A group of officials, however, looked at me and me at you, feeling a bit of fear rising in their hearts.
This bunch of dead eunuchs are really not very courageous, and their methods are not very vicious either.
Emperor, do they dare to take action?
Of course, one of the main reasons is that the grades of these officials are not high.
Real masters kill without blood.
"Eunuch Guo, can we kill him with one strike?" an official asked tremblingly.
"It doesn't matter, our family knows the virtues of the guards around the emperor best!" Guo Chaofeng sneered and said slowly: "They will definitely disperse in a hurry by then!"
The Royal Horse Supervisor is sick, and he claims to form a warrior camp and a four-guard camp, and select camp officers from among the four-guard commanders.
The two battalions were in Hongzhi. During the Zhengde period, the number of people was more than 40,000. After several reorganizations, the number was reduced to more than 6,500.
These 6,500 people are really capable of fighting.
In the fifth year of Tianshun, when Cao Jixiang and his adopted son Zhaowu Bo Cao Qin launched a mutiny in Beijing, the main forces that put down the mutiny and killed the second Cao Cao were the Four Guards Battalion and the Warrior Battalion.
In the ninth year of Zhengde, Zhu Houzhao selected elites from the 12th regiment battalion of the Beijing Army and organized them into the front and rear battalions. They trained together with the Warrior Battalion and the Fourth Guard Battalion in the West Official Hall as the "Selected Front".
This is a force with extremely strong combat effectiveness.
A thousand people kill three hundred of them, the advantage is mine!
"Everyone, I share weal and woe with you!" Guo Chaofeng said slowly: "We can't just sit back and wait for death. If we don't strike first today, then we will be the ones who move our heads!"
"What Eunuch Guo said is absolutely true!"
An official suddenly stood up and said loudly: "The emperor is ignorant and favors treacherous traitors. It's time for us to bring order to the chaos and uphold the imperial court!"
"Yes, yes, we are not regicide, we are bringing order out of chaos and upholding the order of the dynasty!"
A group of people spoke a few words, as if they were the embodiment of justice.
Guo Chaofeng just looked at these courtiers with a somewhat mocking look. To be honest, he sometimes looked down on these courtiers.
Regicide is regicide, and he says it so damn high-sounding.
If possible, Guo Chaofeng is still very willing to obey Zhu Youxiao's order and do whatever he wants. Eunuchs, they are just the emperor's domestic slaves, they still have to count on the emperor for food.
However, the problem now is that Zhu Youxiao wants to thoroughly investigate Huangzhuang and cut off his source of income, and may also have to move his head. Guo Chaofeng is also furious.
He's just an emperor, the worst he can do is replace him with another one.
If you want to thoroughly investigate Huangzhuang, you will touch our most fundamental interests.
Since you are unwilling to take the initiative to stop, then we can only ask you to stop passively.
After the discussion, everyone walked out of the house with heavy thoughts.
Suddenly, a bright torch lit up, completely illuminating the group of people. In an instant, Guo Chaofeng's face turned pale. Just now, he was calm and composed, but now he began to panic.
There was also a chair in front of him, on which Wei Zhongxian was drinking tea slowly with a teacup in his hand.
"Wei, Eunuch Wei!" Guo Chaofeng said tremblingly.
Before Guo Chaofeng could speak, a young eunuch quickly came to Wei Zhongxian and said a few words quickly.
"hehe!"
Wei Zhongxian laughed with a smile on his face: "Eunuch Guo, you are so brave. Come on, tell us how you plan to kill the king?"
