Chapter 437

: The truth is suddenly revealed

When Tang Feng left the palace and returned to the Fufu Department, he still felt a little ridiculous. He actually influenced history in this way. He used the history he knew to test Zhu You for an imperial title. Although he did not know what circumstances it was in real history that the year number was determined, the abnormal movement would not be an answer given by a person standing by the emperor like before.

After resigning from the court, Zhu Youjian summoned Tang Feng to his side and said very much: "Tang Qing is indeed very good. He can actually set this emperor name for me in a short blink of an eye and win back a city for me."

"I am just in a hurry... I wonder if the emperor is satisfied with this emperor title?" Tang Feng smiled bitterly in his heart, and at the same time he was uneasy about his abruptness, so he asked carefully.

"Very good, I am very satisfied with this emperor's title. The meaning of the word Chongzhen is much better than the words proposed by the eunuch party that only shows peace and prosperity in the country." Zhu Youjian smiled with satisfaction, but when he mentioned the word "eunuch party", he couldn't help but show disgust on his face: "These people have no intention of being a minister. Today, they dare to suppress each other with power in the court meeting. I really wish I could not..." He did not say the last harsh words, but judging from the murderous intent in his eyes, Zhu Youjian's patience was not much.

"Prince, please bear with it for a while. Today, the ministers of these people are very angry. However, they have been in control of the government for too long and cannot be dealt with simply. The emperor has just ascended the throne, and there is no one in the court that can be trusted. It is probably not easy to eradicate them." Tang Feng hurriedly advised. Although Zhu Youjian recorded in history as a king with outstanding political skills, he is less than twenty years old after all, and he is just as young as a young man and has just as young as the throne, so it is reasonable that he cannot stand the provocation of the eunuch party.

After hearing Tang Feng's words, Zhu Youjian's face showed a hint of helplessness: "Don't I know this? Although I am the emperor now, how many people in the civil and military affairs of the court will take my words seriously? Even if I want to take action desperately, I am afraid that I can endure it for so many years when I was in the residence, and I can endure it today."

"Don't worry, this is the case. The power of the eunuch party is now spread all over the country. It is not a matter of success to eradicate them all overnight. Only by slowly taking back their power can we eradicate the treacherous and slanderous people without harming the foundation of the country."

Thinking of what he said to the emperor, Tang Feng, who was already holding a tea bowl in the yard, was watching the autumn wind sweeping the fallen leaves, smiled bitterly again. Although he persuaded the emperor like this, in his heart he wanted to capture all the eunuchs and convict them one by one, kill them, and flow them. "Did I think too simple about things? I used to think that as long as Wei Zhongxian had no emperor's protection, I could get rid of him. But now everything is as I wish. Tianqi and Keshi are dead, but if they want to eradicate the eunuchs, it is still a long way off..." He sighed.

"Sir, are you worried about the situation in the court?" With this inquiry, Tian Jing slowly walked over.

"It's Mr. Tian. I'm really worried about the court." Tang Feng looked deeply at the big trees that had already withered yellow leaves by the autumn wind, and then looked back at Tian Jing and said, "Although the emperor nowadays hates the eunuch party, he also wants to get rid of these people as soon as possible and give the people all over the world a clear situation with our Ming court. However, because these people control the government, they have become a big trend and have to be afraid of them."

Tian Jing slowly walked to the yard, looked at the big trees before returning to Tang Feng: "Why do these trees that were originally full of vitality in spring and summer withering now?"

"Hmm?" Tang Feng was stunned. He didn't know why the two of them suddenly turned into talking about the trees. However, looking at Tian Jing's serious expression, Tang Feng still felt that he was asking intentionally, and answered directly: "The withering and prosperity of plants and trees rises according to the season. When autumn rises, these plants and trees will naturally wither and wither."

"It is this word of nature. In fact, you have done a good job. It is just because you are blinded by the illusion in front of you that you will sigh unexplainedly." Tian Jing smiled and bent down, and picked up a yellow leaf from the ground with difficulty, and then crushed it to pieces: "Sir, please see, these fallen leaves have long lost their vitality, and aren't the leaves hanging on the branches the same? The eunuch, after the death of the late emperor, had lost the vitality they should have like the plants and trees in the garden."

Tang Feng looked at the trees and seemed to have some realization: "What do you mean is that they have already done it on the outside but the inside?"

"Yes, the eunuchs who have always been in power in this dynasty have been in full swing and their demise have suddenly become popular. When they are in power, they can almost control everything in the world. Even the emperor, the emperor of the Nine Five, is playing with them in their hands. But when the emperor really wants to deal with them, he only needs an imperial edict to kill them. Liu Jin and Feng Bao are the same, why is this?"

After a pause, Tian Jing gave his own answer: "Because their power comes from the emperor, once the emperor refuses to give them this power and glory, they will have to collapse and end."

"But... Wei Zhongxian and his followers are different. Their power has spread throughout the court. Even if the emperor wants to move them, he may have a rebound from the ministers. At that time, I am afraid that the world will be in chaos." Tang Feng still maintained his opinion and worry, and frowned.

"This is what I said before, the reason why you are confused by that appearance." Tian Jing smiled and said, "It's not a very appropriate metaphor. The emperor is like this earth, the officials in the court are like leaves, and the Wei eunuch is the trunk. When the land is unwilling to transport water into the big tree, the tree and the leaves attached to it will naturally wither slowly. Sometimes, because of the big relationship of this tree, it cannot be seen for a while, but this does not mean that it is safe. When the autumn wind is together, the leaves of the tree will leave the trunk, and the trunk will be dug out of the soil and cut down as firewood.

"The same is true for the court today. When the emperor no longer trusts Wei Zhongxian, how could these officials who depend on him continue to follow him desperately? The reason why it has not been revealed yet is just because there is no external force to beat him."

"But the situation in the court today does not seem to be the case." Although Tang Feng felt that what he said made some sense, he still had no confidence when he recalled what he had seen before, and even told the situation of the morning court in detail.

"Sir, you are blinded by their illusion. All this is just the last effort made by the eunuch party. If it weren't for them that they had already felt the fear deeply, would these people be busy threatening the emperor in this way? Only cowardly people will show their fierceness with their teeth and claws. If the eunuch party can still control everything, they will only watch quietly and do not have to do these actions in front of them." Tian Jing said with confidence.

"Well, this is indeed a bit reasonable. What the eunuch party does today is indeed abnormal..." Tang Feng pondered for a moment.

"In fact, which eunuch in power in this dynasty was not like this when he was in power? But their destruction was only in just a few days. This was the biggest disadvantage of eunuchs in power. His power only comes from the emperor. Once the emperor's protection is gone, they will be nothing. How can Wei Zhongxian be exempted from the common people?

"Besides, some of the officials in this court are determined to rely on Wei Zhongxian, but they are very few. They are all officials who have long been in office and ministers. They know that only by following him, Wei Zhongxian can they maintain their position and status. But what about the others? Will other officials be content with the status quo? Who would not want to go further? But because the people above have a closer relationship with Wei Zhongxian, they will be suppressed by these people. Will these third and fourth rank officials be willing? Do they don't want to remove the people above and replace them themselves?

"Maybe when Wei Yan was in power, these people would not dare to show it even if they had the intention. But at this time, they had already seen the situation clearly and understood that following him, Wei Zhongxian, would only get worse and worse. Will they not have any unpleasant intentions? It was just because the autumn wind did not rise that these leaves did not leave Wei Yan, the big tree. As long as the adults gave a hint, these people who were originally just for power and without any ethics would leave Wei Zhongxian and turn against him.

"The officials in the capital are already like this, and local officials in other provinces are even more so. They and Wei Yan are just using each other more. Even if they are apart from him, Wei Zhongxian, it is not a big deal for these officials. They only care about their own interests. Therefore, the adults do not have to worry about the many obstacles to the elimination of Wei Yan."

"Old Tian, ​​what you are talking about is apart from Wei Yin, what about these officials in the eunuch party?" Tang Feng was already moved by Tian Jing's long speech at this time, and there was only a last question.

"If the skin is gone, where will the hair be attached? Once Wei Yin is removed, these officials will become a mess of scattered sand. The court has some ways to convict them separately. What problem can it be?" Tian Jing looked at Tang Feng and asked with a smile.
