That night, Emperor Chongzhen went to bed very late again.
But everyone in the palace is actually used to this.
What surprised them was that from that night on, Concubine Tian started to eat and no longer lay in bed.
As for the reason, according to rumors from people around Tian Guifei, His Majesty cured Tian Guifei's illness with the treasures given by Taizu.
In response to this, many palace maids and chamberlains began to believe that Emperor Chongzhen really had a treasure given by Taizu. Because there were various strange noises that many people had faintly heard.
Before they had time to gossip about this matter, a "big earthquake" occurred in the palace the next morning.
Wang Chengen, the governor of the West Factory, led his men to arrest Wang Zhixin, the eunuch in charge of the royal horse eunuch, and several eunuchs including the eunuch in charge of the eunuch Shangshan. Later, the emperor appointed Fang Zhenghua, Gao Shiming, Li Fengxiang, Chu Xianzhang, and Zhang Guoyuan, who were not well known before.
The eunuchs holding the palm prints of several of the most important positions among the twelve eunuchs in the palace.
These new palm print eunuchs immediately appointed their cronies and began interrogating the cronies of the originally captured palm print eunuchs.
Also, Emperor Chongzhen ordered the concubines to straighten out their respective affairs and enforce strict palace rules. Even the Prince's Palace did not avoid this.
The scale of this sudden personnel change was unprecedented in the Chongzhen Dynasty. It could even be said that it was rare in the entire Ming Dynasty.
After the officials from the foreign court heard about it, they were all shocked. They didn't know what Emperor Chongzhen was going to do.
However, Emperor Chongzhen was dealing with the inner palace, and the officials from the outer court had no control over it. They could only try their best to inquire about the news and see what happened?
Soon, they received news. It was said that Emperor Chongzhen had received a secret report, saying that the eunuchs in the palace had made a lot of money, but this time the donation should be regarded as a fund-raising. The money given was too little and it was perfunctory.
.
Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen was furious and arrested them all!
After hearing this reason, the officials of the outer court had different ideas!
Some of them, especially the stingy ones, began to worry.
Because the stingy people in the inner court were arrested, Chen Yan, the minister of household affairs in the outer court and the great scholar of Wuyingdian, was also arrested by Dongchang. Although it was because he angered the emperor, one of the reasons was not that he was stingy, so we need to investigate
What is his family background?
Regarding this situation, those who pay more, or relatively more, have the mentality of watching a show.
They were not worried, and even gloated a little. Who made those people so stingy? Among them was Jiading Bo Zhou Kui.
He actually knew best how angry Emperor Chongzhen would be towards stingy people! He was so scared that he almost peed in the harem at that time!
Others, based on what happened, speculated that Emperor Chongzhen re-established the West Factory not to deal with them, but to deal with the masters in the palace.
Look, before we arrested Luo Yangxing, the commander of Jin Yiwei, now we have arrested so many big eunuchs in the palace.
In this way, they were less worried about Xichang.
Of course, it is impossible not to worry. Because they are also afraid that Xichang seems to be very strong now. Will it start to deal with the outer court after dealing with the inner court?
While their attention was focused on this matter, Emperor Chongzhen rushed another eight hundred miles to summon Zuo Maodi, the governor of water transportation, to return to Beijing immediately. In addition, he also sent a secret edict to Du Yinxi, the prefect of Changsha, ordering him to
According to the order, Xiao Yuanying was recruited and brought back to the capital.
After finishing all this, Emperor Chongzhen, with panda eyes in his eyes, contacted Liu Weichao according to his newly developed habit, and wanted to tell Liu Weichao what he had done.
As a result, when Liu Weichao saw his appearance, he spoke first and said: "Why, you were a night owl again last night? Look at your two panda eyes, you can't do this. If it goes on for a long time, you may die suddenly!"
"..." His words made Emperor Chongzhen hold everything in his heart, as if he had been hit head-on.
"The body is the capital of Zhongxing Ming Dynasty, you have to pay attention to it!" Liu Weichao reminded him.
When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he came to his senses, nodded quickly and said: "I understand, I must be careful not to stay up late next time!"
Having said this, he looked grateful and said to Liu Weichao: "Thank you very much. Now my beloved concubine has begun to return to normal. If it weren't for you, I would have been so sad if I had lost her!"
"
"It's just a small thing. I'm very happy to be able to help!" Liu Weichao said with a smile after hearing this.
After talking about this, Emperor Chongzhen asked with a little curiosity: "I have been in contact with you for so long, but it seems that I have never seen my brothers and sisters, nor your children."
Liu Weichao was stunned for a moment. Before he could recover, Emperor Chongzhen continued: "By the way, you also said that you shared a house with others. I don't think this house is very big. Isn't it very uncomfortable?"
convenient?"
After hearing this, Liu Weichao said a little dumbfounded: "Where are you? I just graduated a little over a year ago, where did my wife and children come from?"
As he said this, he added in his mind: "I don't even have a girlfriend yet!"
When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he was very surprised and immediately asked: "What's going on? I see you are not too young! At your age, I have several sons and daughters!"
"..." Liu Weichao was speechless.
He has been attacking Emperor Chongzhen all this time. Unexpectedly, this time, he was actually attacked by Emperor Chongzhen!
Thinking of this, he smiled bitterly and said: "Times have changed! In our era, you are not considered an adult until you are 18 years old, and you can only get married! Moreover, we have to study from childhood until we graduate from college, until we graduate from college.
Basically they are all unmarried! Put academics first!”
Emperor Chongzhen felt a little unimaginable after hearing this, and immediately said: "Marriage and studying are not contradictory. After getting married, can't you study? There are three types of unfilial piety, and the worst is not having an heir!"
"..." At this moment, Liu Weichao felt that there was a huge generation gap between him and Emperor Chongzhen.
After thinking for a moment, he said to Emperor Chongzhen: "I probably know that there were many children who died in infancy in your time, so you should have children early to see how many you can support, right?"
After a pause, when he saw Emperor Chongzhen showing a slightly surprised expression, he continued: "But my era is different. As long as you are born, there is basically no one who will die in infancy. In the past, the court only
It is stipulated that we can only have one child, but now there is no such requirement."
"..." This time, it was Emperor Chongzhen's turn to be speechless.
After a while, he came to his senses and said in disbelief: "How is it possible? I have already lost several children. At that time, none of your children died? Also, your court still wants to care about you."
Sexual intercourse?”
When he thought about it, he felt a little incredible!
