"Shaanxi is suffering from a drought. There are unruly people rebelling…"
Wu Yunqing's eyes narrowed. Shaanxi? F * ck, isn't that Li Zicheng's hometown?
Could it be that that fellow was rebelling now?
"What did you say? Say it again?" Wu Yunqing immediately shouted.
The pen-wielding eunuch trembled in fear and whispered," Shaanxi, Shaanxi is suffering from a drought. There are unruly people causing trouble…"
"What does that person add?" Wu Yunqing asked.
"Oh, I think he's called Wang Er!"
Wang Er? If it wasn't Li Zicheng, that was still better.
However, it seemed that there were endless uprisings in the late Ming Dynasty. It was also because of the uprisings in various places that the Ming Dynasty was troubled internally and externally. In the end, the Manchu Dynasty entered the pass...
Therefore, the peasant uprising had to be quelled as soon as possible. Otherwise, it would endanger the imperial court!
"Who is the governor of Shaanxi?" Wu Yunqing asked.
"Your Majesty, Shaanxi Governor Qiao Yingjia…"
Wu Yunqing had no impression of this person. He said," Order Qiao Yingjia to quell the rebellion as soon as possible. Otherwise, I will hold him accountable!”
The rebellion in Shaanxi had just begun, but what followed was a large-scale uprising. The most famous ones were Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng.
Thinking of this, Wu Yunqing was a little annoyed. Damn it, it was not easy to be the emperor!
However, it seemed that he could take the opportunity to promote two people. For example, one of them was Hong Chengchou, who was currently working as a grain supervisor in Shaanxi.
Hence, Wu Yunqing immediately changed his mind and said," Qiao Yingjia did not do a good job and caused the people to rebel. He will be immediately removed from his post. Order Hong Chengchou to temporarily take over the position of governor and quickly eliminate the rebellion!”
Alright, Wu Yunqing's words immediately decided the fate of the two of them.
At this time, Wei Zhongxian's eunuchs were powerful, and the Emperor's words were faithfully carried out. Thus, he quickly wrote and stamped the seal.
Only after the cabinet passed it would it be known to the world and it would be officially confirmed.
When the cabinet received the emperor's appointment, they were all a little angry.
What was he doing? How could he treat the promotion of officials as a child's play?
"Eunuch party, it must be the eunuch party who bewitched the emperor!”Huang Liji immediately said through gritted teeth.
" The walls have ears. Watch your words!"”
Huang Liji sat down, panting. He looked around. Although he was a Grand Secretary and an assistant minister of the cabinet, he was still very afraid of the East Chamber.
"Then what should we do now? Should we agree?”Zhang Ruitu asked hesitantly.
Shi Meng looked at the two of them and said helplessly," So what if I don't agree?
We are now cabinet ministers, but how much power do we have left?
At this moment, that person is powerful. Let's tolerate him for the time being. Be patient!”
The other two also nodded. They knew that if they rejected it, trouble would soon come knocking on their door.
They had already discussed it, and they still wanted to keep their bodies useful, with the intention of having a follow-up effect!
Therefore, this appointment was passed smoothly, but the few of them were very unhappy.
The cabinet minister had been so glorious in the past. He was truly below one person and above tens of thousands of people. In fact, even the emperor had to respect him.
But now, they had actually fallen to such a state. A eunuch could even order them around and make them have no choice but to obey!
"I don't know what His Majesty is doing. He actually let the eunuchs go to the outer three palaces and not allow them to enter the inner palace at all. This, this is simply absurd!”Huang Liji suddenly brought up the matter of the inner palace.
Zhang Ruitu sighed." Isn't that so? There have been rules since the founding ancestor, but His Majesty has thrown away all the ancestral rules!”
"That's right. We can't even get a glimpse of the situation in the palace. Our eyes are numb!”Shi Nilai sighed.
The three of them looked at each other and sighed.
There were no secrets in the palace in the past. Even the officials knew what the concubines ate.
But now, the eunuchs could not enter. The interior of the palace was immediately isolated.
Even the palace maids that he had bought in the past could not contact the eunuchs now, and the news could not be passed out.
Therefore, the ministers, especially those with ulterior motives, hated this to the core.
Many people were clamoring, saying that the emperor had violated the ancestral system and wanted the emperor to change it.
It was just that the Emperor did not attend court at all, and they could not enter the Imperial Palace. Even if they wanted to remonstrate, they could not find anyone.
It turned out that there had been. During the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Ming Dynasty, many civil officials had died outside the palace gates.
This made Zhu Zhanji angry and helpless. He could only agree to the civil servant's request.
However, Zhu Youxiao was different. He was shameless. A few years ago, there were also civil officials who died at the palace gate because of Wei Zhongxian's rebellion.
However, Zhu Youxiao did not even lift his eyelids. He said to the eunuch who came to report," Go, go. Don't disturb me when I'm working!”
Alright, after killing seven or eight of them, there was no effect at all.
Moreover, Wei Zhongxian had started to arrest people again. He wanted to knock them to death. Alright, come to the imperial prison and knock them to death.
