Chapter 848: Only women and villains are difficult to raise
If Emperor Jiajing was still healthy and in power, Qin Dewei would never dare to treat Eunuch No. 1 and Eunuch No. 2 like this.
Under normal circumstances, these two eunuchs were extensions of the imperial power and were considered representatives of the imperial power in front of foreign ministers. Only the emperor was qualified to deal with these two.
But I don’t know who took the lead. Ever since Emperor Jiajing fell into coma, and now, everyone has become bolder.
Didn't even Zhang Zuo, the eunuch in charge of the Supervisor of Ceremonies, fight for personal power and gain, and mobilized 200 internal forbidden troops to attack the East Factory?
Anyway, there are currently no tigers in the mountains. Without the suppression of the powerful emperor, everyone is gradually letting go.
Even if Emperor Jiajing wakes up again, it will be a situation where everyone is not punished. How can he kill everyone?
At this moment, Zhang Zuo, the eunuch in charge of the ceremony, turned around in shock, almost thinking that the sun would rise from the west and set in the east today.
As the number one figure among the eunuchs, his status was equivalent to that of the first assistant among the civil servants. He never expected that someone would surround him with troops.
But the officers and soldiers from all sides told themselves that this was not an illusion, but that someone really dared to disturb Tai Sui!
Zhang Zuo dropped Eunuch Qin, turned around, walked to Qin Dewei, and asked, "What do you want?"
Qin Dewei said righteously: "This is already outside Dong'an Gate, out of the imperial city, and belongs to the ground of the capital!
Hundreds of you are here to stir up trouble and fight. The people are shocked and frightened. The question should be what do you want!
The Dongcheng Military and Horse Division cannot stop you, but I happened to be selecting soldiers nearby today, and I will assist the Military and Horse Division to take care of you out of justice!"
After being stimulated by Eunuch Qin, Eunuch Zhang was now very impatient and said rudely to Qin Dewei: "Don't say these useless clichés! Tell us your true purpose!"
Qin Dewei looked at Eunuch Qin, then at Eunuch Zhang, and replied: "That's because I see you are really shameless, so I came to act as a mediator."
As a bachelor of the Central Hall, he said that he wanted to mediate for two great eunuchs, so he was qualified in terms of qualifications. After all, if two great eunuchs collided, if a small person were to mediate, it would be easy for him to mediate.
However, before Zhang Zuo expressed his position, Eunuch Qin over there said first: "No need!"
Qin Dewei was stunned for a moment. You, Eunuch Qin, have been beaten to the door, but you still insist on not "mediating"?
To say that Qin Zhongtang's appearance here is half a coincidence. He happened to be ordering troops at the nearby Dongcheng Campus today, very close to the Dongchang;
Half of it was intentional. Seeing Zhang Zuo personally leading the forbidden soldiers to knock on the door of the East Factory, he judged that the Qin eunuch would be unable to endure it.
That's why Qin Zhongtang jumped out to cause trouble. The purpose was to help Eunuch Qin pass this test, so that Eunuch Qin would not be directly pressed to death by Zhang Zuo, missing a potential helper.
I just didn't expect that Eunuch Qin was a face-conscious person and refused his kindness directly!
I asked you, Eunuch Qin, to do something, but it turned out to be such a mess, why are you still holding on?
Now that Eunuch Qin has made a strong statement, Eunuch Zhang naturally cannot give in. He said equally forcefully: "Mr. Qin's mediation is no longer needed! Please come back!"
Qin Dewei looked around and said domineeringly: "I have the largest number of people here. I said that I want to mediate. If you accept it, you can accept it. If you don't accept it, you have to accept it!
Tell me, should we mediate here or go to the Dongcheng Campus?"
Eunuch Qin couldn't bear it anymore and shouted angrily: "Qin Dewei! This is a palace matter. If you want to mediate, you are not qualified!"
Qin Dewei glanced at Eunuch Qin in confusion. Why was this man so impatient? Could there be another secret? So he tentatively asked: "Eunuch Qin, who do you think is qualified? I'll go and invite him!"
Eunuch Qin secretly breathed a sigh of relief. This bastard is not hopelessly stupid! He said smoothly: "Then let me make the decision!"
Qin Dewei thought about it and decided to trust Eunuch Qin again, "Then I will report it to the old lady!"
Zhang Zuo thought for a moment and felt that after being messed up by Qin Dewei like this, and surrounded by so many soldiers, it was impossible to fight, so he could consider "reasoning".
Anyway, by leading troops to the East Factory to threaten Eunuch Qin, the purpose of the demonstration was basically achieved. From a rational point of view, it was obviously reasonable for him to do so, and it would not be a bad idea to judge the reasons.
So he called Qin Dewei again: "Wait a minute! This is a palace matter, and it is only right to ask Queen Fang to make the decision."
In Zhang Zuo's view, Queen Fang was already on his side, not to mention that he still had Queen Fang's decree, which was regarded as "righteousness".
Qin Dewei glanced at Zhang Zuo a few times in confusion. Why are you so sure that Queen Fang will help you? He glanced at Eunuch Qin again and saw that his face was expressionless, and he was very calm.
"Well, let's just invite Concubine Fang to Ciqing Palace and make the decision together!" Qin Dewei said again.
If you want to invite the Queen Mother and the Empress to come forward to "mediate", it is not something ordinary people can do. Qin Dewei has enough status to have this qualification.
Then the three of them entered the palace together and came to Ciqing Palace. Immediately, Empress Dowager Zhang issued an edict and sent a young eunuch to invite the auxiliary ministers to attend and comment on the merits.
Zhang Zuo was speechless. The struggle for power between him and the Qin eunuch was an internal conflict among the eunuchs. What was the purpose of inviting the auxiliary ministers from other dynasties to watch the fun? Isn't this a family scandal that should be publicized?
It can only be understood that Queen Mother Zhang has no brains and needs the assistant minister to give guidance. But now that the matter has come to this, Zhang Zuo can no longer back down.
So what if there are just a few more people watching the fun? The courtiers have no say in palace affairs, so they can only watch the fun when they come.
Then Qin Dewei went to Wanchun Palace in Renshou Palace to invite Empress Fang, "That's what happened. The Empress Dowager is getting old, so she asked Empress Luanjia to move to Ciqing Palace to mediate the conflict between the two great ministers."
Queen Fang was a little hesitant. She didn't want to go to Ciqing Palace. Logically speaking, Queen Fang was a junior, so she should go to Ciqing Palace.
But Ciqing Palace was the territory of Empress Dowager Zhang. Going there was like going to an away game, and she was often controlled by others. Empress Fang was a little reluctant in her mentality.
Qin Dewei advised: "All the auxiliary ministers are going to listen. Madam, do you really not want to go?"
This means that it is a rare opportunity to show your face in front of the auxiliary ministers. Queen Fang, don’t you want such an opportunity?
Queen Fang sighed again: "Then go visit your aunt and the Queen Mother!"
By the time Queen Fang and Qin Dewei arrived at Ciqing Palace, everyone else had already arrived and were waiting outside the palace.
In the main hall, an additional seat was added next to the Queen Mother's throne, which is the exclusive seat of Queen Fang.
Even though Empress Dowager Zhang and Empress Fang were sitting very close to each other, they both understood what it means to be at odds with each other.
Qin Dewei returned to his seat outside the main hall and stood with the auxiliary ministers.
Taking advantage of the free time before the audience, Qin Zhongtang boasted to the others: "It is rare for me, the civil servants of the foreign court, to see the great eunuch fighting with my own eyes. This is my gift to you all before I leave!"
Afterwards, Eunuch Zhang, the eunuchs of Qin, and the auxiliary ministers including Qin Dewei filed in. After saluting, the two eunuchs stepped forward.
Zhang Zuoxian reported to the Queen Mother: "According to the decree of Empress Fang, the Ciqing Palace sills were handed over to me. After that, he sent Zhou Yi to Dongchang to receive relevant witnesses.
Who would have thought that Qin Fu was violent and violent, directly resisted the decree and even detained Zhou Yi himself. It was really unreasonable and completely broke the rules of business. I still hope that I will make the decision!"
Empress Dowager Zhang asked Eunuch Qin: "Qin Fu, what do you say?"
Qin Dewei felt that Eunuch Qin might not be well prepared, so he was racking his brains to figure out how to help Eunuch Qin get away.
Suddenly he heard Eunuch Qin's reply: "I thought the documents and certification could be handed over to anyone, except Zhang Zuo and Zhou Yi!"
Queen Mother Zhang asked again: "Why is this?"
Eunuch Qin replied: "Since I was ordered to investigate the attack the day before yesterday, I have made a list of all the people who have been in charge of Ciqing Palace in recent years, Zhou Yi is among them, and then sent people to investigate separately!
Fortunately, he lived up to his command and found out in just one day that Zhou Yi had committed a murderous attack to help Zhang Zuo occupy the land!"
Except for Queen Fang, this was the first time for everyone to hear about this incident.
As a result, everyone had the same reaction as Queen Fang. Eunuch Qin must have planned it in advance! Otherwise, how could he have found out what you wanted to find out in one day?
In fact, other people's reactions may not be that big. After all, they are just arresting people for investigation. This kind of thing is not uncommon.
But Zhang Zuo, the chief seal officer of the Supervisor of Ceremonies, was shocked. He had never grasped the situation mentioned by Eunuch Qin before!
In his opinion, Eunuch Qin should have caught the person who smashed the Ciqing Palace, and then Eunuch Chen Hongchen didn't want to be a scapegoat, so he came to seek refuge with him!
Moreover, Chen Hong was so frightened that he even betrayed the queen, which is enough to prove that what Chen Hong said is true!
But he didn't expect that what Eunuch Qin had in his hands was not the real culprit of the attack on the eucalyptus, but the evidence of Zhou Yi's crime!
In that case, the nature of his attack on Dongchang would be different!
It's not a big deal if your godson kills someone, but if he leads himself to attack the Dongchang, the nature of it completely changes.
Zhang Zuo was caught off guard and finally felt a little panicked. He couldn't help but asked Eunuch Qin: "You were authorized to track down Zhou Yi. Why did you want to track down Zhou Yi?"
The Qin eunuch ignored Zhang Zuo, but explained to the Queen Mother: "What I want to check is the eunuchs in charge of Ciqing Palace in the past, and then see if I can contact the slug-shattering eucalyptus! As for Zhou Yi's other criminal evidence, they were all found conveniently.
Found it!"
The ministers present watched the excitement. After hearing Eunuch Qin's explanation, they immediately figured out two meanings after a little thought.
The first level of meaning is that the eunuchs in charge of Ciqing Palace in the past dynasties were actually the ones who abused the old empress. No matter who was arrested, it would definitely be worthwhile to convict them of the crime!
The second meaning is that Zhou Yi can use other evidence to convict him without having to tell the world about his abuse of the Queen Mother, thus saving the Queen Mother's face.
Qin Dewei and Qin Zhongtang didn't understand until now that Eunuch Qin had hidden this secret. No wonder he was very depressed!
Now I am afraid that if Empress Dowager Zhang doesn't understand what she means by playing the piano to a cow, that will be troublesome.
Besides, when Empress Dowager Zhang asked the auxiliary ministers to come and observe, wasn’t it because she wanted the auxiliary ministers to fill in the gaps?
So the considerate Qin Dewei took the initiative to stand up and said to Queen Mother Zhang: "What Eunuch Qin means is that he can kill chickens and scare monkeys. At the same time, other crimes will not harm the Queen Mother's dignity."
[To be honest, I have been using Yeguo to read and catch up on books recently. I can switch sources and read aloud with many sounds. www. Android and Apple are available.]
Queen Mother Zhang finally nodded with satisfaction and said to Eunuch Qin: "Qin Fu, you are serious!"
If this sentence had been spoken by the emperor, it would have made Eunuch Qin a little excited, but when it came from the Queen Mother's mouth, it was equivalent to empty talk.
Eunuch Qin didn't want to get any benefits from Queen Mother Zhang. After waiting for a while for everyone to digest, he turned to question Zhang Zuo.
But Qin Dewei jumped out first and scolded Zhang Zuo: "Originally, everything is normal business, just do everything in an official manner!
But you, Zhang Zuoxian, deliberately sent Zhou Yi himself to ask for evidence of Zhou Yi's crime. This is simply insulting and provoking Dongchang!
After Dongchang detained the criminal Zhou Yi who came to the door on his own initiative, Eunuch Zhang mobilized the imperial guards in an attempt to storm Dongchang and seize witnesses and criminal evidence!
I was working nearby today, and what I said above was what I saw with my own eyes! Now in front of the Queen Mother, tell me, what is your crime?"
Eunuch Qin: "..."
Can this little brat who is riding a horse please stop stealing the show?
The ministers who originally didn't know the truth roughly understood what was going on after hearing this.
It's nothing more than eunuch Qin digging a trap to harm Zhang Zuo, but apart from anything else, this method of digging traps to harm people is really familiar, as if he has seen it many times!
So much so that when Qin Zhongtang took the lead and stole Eunuch Qin's lines, everyone actually felt that there was no sense of disobedience.
Zhang Zuo took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down, "No matter how you, Qin Fu, plan it, I am following the Queen's decree, and what I hold in my hand is the Queen's decree! It was you, Qin Fu, who first resisted and disrespected the decree!"
Then Zhang Zuo glanced at Queen Fang secretly, "It's time, Queen Fang must stand up and say something! Don't forget, Chen Hong is still in Zhang Zuo's hands!"
Everyone probably realized that the problem had reached a critical point, and they all waited for Queen Fang to speak.
But after hanging their heads and waiting for a long time, no sound was heard. Everyone, like Zhang Zuo, secretly glanced at Empress Fang.
Then I discovered that Queen Fang was actually holding a handkerchief and sitting there quietly wiping her tears.
What is going on? Everyone was confused, even Qin Dewei, who had been doing the commentary, couldn't understand.
Eunuch Qin glared at Qin Dewei provocatively, and then said: "The empress has the most loyal and reliable eunuch beside her, and her name is Chen Hong!
But Zhang Zuo kidnapped Chen Hong and used this to blackmail the empress into submission, forcing the empress to give her orders and take over the pieces from Dongchang!
Since I, Qin Fu, know such news, how can I obey such an order!"
On behalf of the civil servants, Chief Assistant Zhai Luan approached the Queen and asked, "Is this possible?"
Empress Fang nodded silently with tears in her eyes. She looked so pitiful to Chu Chu that I felt pity for her. Zhai Shoufu did not dare to look any further and quickly withdrew.
Zhang Zuo's computer immediately shut down and he stood there completely unresponsive! How could things be done like this?
Only women and villains are difficult to raise!
Seeing Empress Fang like this, everyone knew that the eunuch Zhang Zuo, the eunuch in charge of the ceremony, was finished!
Judging from the things they have done so far, they have shielded the eunuch Zhou Yi who abused the Queen Mother, forced Zhou Yi to obtain evidence of his crimes, and sent troops to attack the East Factory. Now there is another one, directly forcing the Queen!
To be honest, everyone doesn't really believe that Zhang Zuo could do so many wrong things, but all the current evidence can prove that Zhang Zuo did it all.
This method is so terrifying, yet it makes the ministers feel extremely familiar!
Eunuch Qin was proud and proud. After all the planning and organization, he finally came to the end! He is the protagonist today and no one can steal the show!
As long as Zhang Zuo is killed, he, the second eunuch, is the natural candidate for the new eunuch of the ceremonial department!
Let you ministers also see how powerful they are, and be more honest when dealing with them in the future!
Just as the eunuch of Qin was looking at Zixiong, he suddenly heard someone whispering: "It turns out that this person is the eunuch version of Qin Dewei."
