Even though Liang Dong and the others were extremely powerful, they were just foxes using the tiger's might. Without the emperor's protection, they were nothing.
Just like Liang Dong, he was immediately dragged away after the Emperor gave the order.
After that, he gave Liang Dong a whack. After 50 whacks, Liang Dong was already dead!
Beating was also very skillful. Those eunuchs who were executing the punishment all knew that Liang Dong had angered the Emperor, so they naturally did not dare to show favoritism. Moreover, in order to share the Emperor's worries, they even increased their strength.
A powerful official of a generation, the famous pen-wielding eunuch Liang Dong, was beaten to death just like that!
Then, he wrapped it in a tattered mat and got someone to transport it out and throw it in the mass grave!
Wu Yunqing could tolerate Liang Dong being Wei Zhongxian's lackey. After all, he still had to rely on Wei Zhongxian.
However, this guy actually played smart and played tricks on him, so Wu Yunqing was immediately furious.
This time, everyone was trembling in fear. Don't treat the Carpenter Emperor as your rations!
As for Old Wei, Wei Zhongxian, this guy was beaten up by the emperor last time. When he came back, he began to arrange for people to reject all the living shrines.
The East Chamber's subordinates passed down the order, and those who had been flattering Wei Zhongxian were reprimanded.
Especially the first person who suggested it, the governor of Zhejiang, Pan Ruzhen. He was the one who first requested to build an ancestral hall for Wei Zhongxian.
This time, Pan Ruzhen was severely reprimanded by Wei Zhongxian, who ordered him to demolish all the temples in Zhejiang. If there was anything left out, he would be held accountable.
Pan Ruzhen's face turned ashen when he saw the letter. He didn't expect that flattery would land on his horse's leg.
However, wasn't Wei Zhongxian very happy a while ago and said that he wanted to promote him?
Why did it change so quickly?
Pan Ruzhen had earned a lot of money by building a temple for Wei Zhongxian.
Building the Temple of Life required space. This was a job for Eunuch Wei to do for nine thousand years. Who would dare to stop him?
Wherever Pan Ruzhen wanted to use, he would use it!
Those wealthy merchants were in big trouble because Pan Ruzhen said that he wanted to confiscate their ancestral homes!
This ancestral home wasn't just a matter of face. It was also where the family's cohesion and roots were. Of course, he couldn't let Pan Ruzhen build a shrine.
Therefore, if anyone didn't want their family to be ruined, they should hurry up and send money. If Lord Pan was happy, he would choose another place.
Thus, Pan Ruzhen had earned over a hundred thousand taels of silver through this method.
He even took the opportunity to get rid of the disobedient fellows from the two families and finally occupied a few hundred acres of land outside.
It was the same in other places. On the surface, it was said that they were building a temple for Wei Zhongxian, but those people took the opportunity to reap benefits, causing the people to boil with resentment!
Wei Zhongxian was not a fierce and ambitious person. He was just a eunuch with no ambition. He had never thought of becoming a king, so he did not care about his reputation. As a result, he had to carry all the bad things.
For example, many of the exorbitant taxes were collected in the name of Nine Thousand Years Old. Wei Zhongxian didn't even know that he was lying on the ground.
Now that he was going to reject all of them, Pan Ruzhen felt that this was a slap to the face of nine thousand years old.
However, this was Wei Zhongxian's order. If Jiu Qiansui wasn't afraid of slapping himself in the face, what else could Pan Ruzhen do if he didn't slap himself in the face?
It was torn down. In just a few days, all the living shrines were torn down.
However, even though the Temple of Life had been demolished, the commoners still did not dare to take back their land because that was where the Temple of Life was located!
Alright, since they couldn't reach Wei Zhongxian, many people began to target Pan Ruzhen.
The commoners could only curse, while the wealthy merchants resisted passively. Then, they complained to the big shots that they could contact, saying that Pan Ruzhen had seized the people's fields, plundered the people's wealth, and so on…
Pan Ruzhen had also heard the news and had been frowning for the past few days. He felt that a disaster was about to befall him…
When Wei Zhongxian heard about Liang Dong, he was inexplicably flustered.
Liang Dong was one of his men, but he had been killed by His Majesty. Moreover, Ke Shi had been chased out of the Imperial Palace, and the commander of the Brocade Guard had been changed.
These people were all his subordinates. What was His Majesty doing?
Could it be that he wanted to kill the rabbit and cook the dog?
Although Wei Zhongxian wasn't the kind of person who was extremely smart, he had to think of this in his position.
The next day, Wei Zhongxian went to the palace and went to Baohe Hall as usual.
Now, eunuchs could only be in the outer court, which was the Hall of Central Harmony, the Hall of Preserving Harmony, the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the Hall of Cultural Splendor, the Hall of Five Heroes, and other places.
The outer court was much more crowded than before, and the original eunuchs were scattered all over the palace, so it didn't seem like much.
Now that tens of thousands of people were outside the court, it suddenly became crowded.
"Nine Thousand Years Arrives!"
Seeing Wei Zhongxian's arrival, a young eunuch shouted.
Now, there were eunuchs everywhere. When they saw Wei Zhongxian, they all shouted," Greetings, Jiuqian Sui!”
Hundreds of people were shouting, and the sound was indeed very loud.
