Chapter 1829 The Twelve Eunuchs
Chapter 1827: The Twelve Eunuchs
“Report...to report to your lord, Eunuch Cao, please ask for an audience.”
“Cao Zhengchun?”
Jia Xu frowned slightly and said, "Let him come in."
Cao Zhengchun was the No. 3 Dizi. After the return of the No. 1 Dizi, Cao Zhengchun continued to lurk in the palace in place of the No. 1, and assisted Jia Xu in the plan to seize the emperor.
After Liu Xie returned to Luoyang, Cao Zhengchun continued to stay with the emperor, pretending to be Liu Xie's confidant, but in fact he monitored his every move.
Since returning to Luoyang, Cao Zhengchun has never contacted Jia Xu, and now he comes to visit him personally. That must be something serious.
After Cao Zhengchun saw Jia Xu, he quickly saluted and said: "Slave, please see Jia Da..."
Before he could finish his words, Jia Xu interrupted him with a wave of his hand and said: "Mr. Cao, if you have anything to say, please tell me quickly."
Cao Zhengchun smiled bitterly and said: "This slave is no longer the master in charge."
"What?"
Jia Xu was stunned for a moment, then looked serious and asked, "Cao Changshi, what on earth is going on?"
In addition to being the chief chamberlain, Cao Zhengchun was in charge of all the chamberlains in the palace. He also served as a regular chamberlain, responsible for conveying edicts and handling documents. It was precisely because of these two positions that he was able to monitor Liu Xie in all directions. everything.
“Of course the only one who can remove the position of slave is Your Majesty.” Cao Zhengchun said with a bitter smile.
“Why did Your Majesty remove the father-in-law from his position without reason?”
"It's not without reason. I made some small mistakes, but I didn't expect to be discovered by your majesty. As a result, I was dismissed and kicked out of the palace."
Cao Zhengchun sighed and saluted: "This slave has nowhere to go now, please take me in."
Hearing this, Jia Xu showed a playful look and said, "Let's talk about it in detail."
“No. Your Excellency is worried about the world and may not be aware of what is going on in the palace, but now something big has happened in the palace...”
Next, Cao Zhengchun told the specific process of how he fell out of favor and was kicked out of the palace.
Six months ago, Liu Xie promoted twelve junior eunuchs, namely: Wei Zhongxian, Wang Zhen, Feng Bao, Wang Zhi, Liu Jin, Ma Yongcheng, Gao Feng, Luo Xiang, Wei Bin, Qiu Ju, Gu Dayong, and Zhang Yong.
Twelve eunuchs including Wei Zhongxian, Liu Jin, and others are all born into the special Baizhao Card. Because they are all eunuchs, they have also been implanted in the palace.
Wei Zhongxian, a famous nine-thousand-year-old man in the Ming Dynasty, almost covered the sky with one hand in the Ming Dynasty.
Wang Zhen and Feng Bao were also the first generation of authoritarian eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty.
Wang Zhi, because of his meritorious service in supervising the army in Liaodong, commanded the 12 elite regiments of the Beijing army. He was also the first to take control of the imperial army in the Ming Dynasty.
Liu Jin, Ma Yongcheng, Gao Feng, Luo Xiang, Wei Bin, Qiu Ju, Gu Dayong, and Zhang Yong are known as the "Eight Tigers" by the world. Among them, Liu Jin is the most cunning and vicious. After taking power, he took the opportunity to dominate the government and dominate the government. The common people are the first of the "Eight Tigers".
Qin Hao had long discovered the existence of these people. Considering that these people were a big scourge, he originally wanted to get rid of them all. It can be seen that they were all honest and had not committed anything. Qin Hao was too lazy to find someone to deal with them. excuses, so they were left to their own devices, but they were also not given any chance of promotion. Qin Hao originally thought that he was watching, and even if these people were extremely capable, they would not be able to continue causing trouble. However, he did not expect that trouble would be trouble after all. As soon as he left, these troubles would immediately jump out and cause trouble.
Wei Zhongxian and other twelve people who were promoted by Liu Xie not only gave Cao Zhengchun a lot of power, but also relied on the emperor's favor to compete with Cao Zhengchun for power in the palace.
It is true that Cao Zhengchun was trained by Zhang Rang, but he only learned 30% of Zhang Rang's tactics in the way of maneuvering, but a full 80% of his martial arts skills. How could he be the opponent of these twelve great eunuchs in the cholera world?
Although Cao Zhengchun is the number one **** and has the ability and strength, tigers are afraid of wolves, not to mention that among the twelve people, there are many people who are more capable than him.
With so many eunuchs with outstanding abilities and tough skills, how could Cao Zhengchun secure his position as the number one eunuch?
Wei Zhongxian and other twelve people who had Liu Xie's back, after several months of fighting for power, finally openly and openly ousted Cao Zhengchun.
Cao Zhengchun saw that he had become a mere commander, and he couldn't bear it anymore, so he was ready to take cruel measures, but he didn't expect to be caught by Liu Xie, and he was eventually driven out of the palace openly.
“So, you who hold the power of the palace cannot defeat the emperor who has no power and his twelve loyal dogs?”
Jia Xu looked at Cao Zhengchun in shock. In his mind, Cao Zhengchun was still capable and skillful, but how could he be beaten like this with a good hand?
Can you lose even if the flying dragon rides on the face?
What kind of **** teammates are these!
Cao Zhengchun's face was also full of shame, and he hesitated: "After all, they have His Majesty as their backing. Even if I have the courage in the world, I would not dare to be disrespectful to Your Majesty."
Hearing this, Jia Xu couldn't help but sigh. He finally understood why Cao Zhengchun lost even though Feilongqiu faced.
No matter how weak the imperial power of the Han Dynasty was, it was still sacred and inviolable in the eyes of eunuchs like Cao Zhengchun. What he feared was not Liu Xie, the emperor, but the emperor himself.
Relying on Cao Zhengchun's respect for the imperial power, he did not dare to take action against the emperor. The twelve eunuchs who relied on Liu Xie could plot and attack Cao Zhengchun at will, but Cao Zhengchun could only be passively beaten. Once Liu Xie counterattacked, Liu Xie would He would stand up and support the lackeys. Even if Cao Zhengchun was dissatisfied, he could only endure it. It would be strange if he would not be ignored in the long run.
“So, now that His Majesty still has a harem, he is somewhat out of control?” Genie asked.
"That's not true. It's just about controlling the rights of eunuchs and palace maids. It doesn't matter whether we gain or lose. As long as the military power of the palace guards is still in the hands of our army, we can't make trouble with just a few eunuchs."
Jia Xu said lightly. Although he said it lightly, he was secretly vigilant in his heart.
He had tried his best to overestimate the man behind the scenes, but unexpectedly he still underestimated this person.
Under his own eyes, he reached into the palace and really succeeded in pulling out Cao Zhengchun's nail. This person's method was indeed brilliant!
For some reason, Jia Xu always felt that the man behind the scenes seemed to know him very well and could always guess the blind spots in his thinking.
The previous Hangu Pass, now the Imperial Palace, this is already the second time!
Who knows himself so well?
Is all of this a coincidence or...
Jia Xu stopped thinking about it, because before the mystery was solved, there was no point in thinking more about it, but he was secretly looking forward to the final meeting with the mastermind behind the scenes.
Second update... The monthly ticket has exceeded 200 for additional chapters, and a total of 14 chapters are still owed.
