Reborn as a tyrant in the Ming Dynasty

"Palmprint, something has been strange in recent days. Nearly half of the gold and silver stored in the internal transportation warehouse has been moved. The people responsible for delivering and escorting are all new faces. What do you think happened?"

"Who says otherwise? Ever since the Emperor announced that he was leaving the capital for patrolling while watching the military at Fengtai Camp, the atmosphere in the inner court has changed."

"Indeed, as far as our family knows, many people from Admiral Han Zanzhou's Da Neixing Factory have left the Forbidden City recently, and there has been no trace of them since."

"Is there such a thing? Ever since the emperor returned to the capital from the Fengtai Camp, the people from the Royal Imperial Guards have strictly guarded all the gates of the palace. Without special tokens, they can't enter or leave the palace at all."

"Did something big happen? Our family has always found it strange. Since Duke Chang of Wei returned to the capital, the emperor seems to have changed. Especially after the martial arts performance was held in Fengtai camp, the emperor could not be summoned. See you, sir."

In the main hall of the Supervisor of Ceremonies, a group of powerful eunuchs wearing red python robes gathered together to talk about the recent events in the palace. Many people had doubts and uneasiness on their brows.

As the powerful eunuchs in the inner court, they are all responsible for different errands in the inner court. Their power may not be comparable to before, but if they can stay in the inner court unharmed during the several purges of the inner court, then their status is secure.

However, since their emperor returned to the capital from Fengtai camp, many things happened in the inner court. None of them knew the truth. Even entering and exiting the inner court became very strict. Under various signs, many people People's hearts are uneasy!

Surrounded by these powerful eunuchs, the ceremonial eunuch and eunuch Wang Tigan did not say anything from beginning to end. He just sat quietly on the official hat chair and listened to the chatter of these powerful eunuchs.

"When did the Supervisor of Ceremonies become so lively?"

In such an atmosphere, the sudden sound outside the main hall made the bustling main hall immediately quiet, and it didn't take long for greetings to be heard in the hall.

"Manufacturer."

"Manufacturer."

"Ancestor."

Wei Zhongxian, who was wearing a python robe and a three-mountain hat, walked in from outside the hall with an expressionless face and looked at the group of powerful eunuchs who ran in front of him.

"Eunuch Wang, how did you become the eunuch of the ceremonial department?"

Wei Zhongxian ignored these people. Instead, he looked at Wang Tiqian who was walking towards him. He raised his eyebrows and said, "The situation in the inner court has been different recently. Instead of staying in their respective positions, they all came to the Chief of Ceremonies. When will we do this?" Has it become so easy for the emperor’s servant?”

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly changed.

"Manufacturer, everyone is also suspicious."

Feeling that there were many eyes on him, Wang Tiqian faced Wei Zhongxian's gaze and said calmly: "Everyone can tell that something big has happened, but what kind of big thing is it? Everyone seems to be blind. This is not a person." Is it something?"

"Yes, we are also the servants of the emperor. If anything happens, we will do our best to serve as servants."

"That's right, ancestor, what exactly happened? What does the emperor want to do?"

"Mr. Factory, please tell everyone everything. This will make everyone feel at ease, right?"

Following Wang Tigan's words, Wang Guotai, Li Chaoqin, Ji Yong and other eunuchs in power spoke to each other, which made Wei Zhongxian frown slightly.

In fact, Wei Zhongxian doesn't know what happened in the inner court. He has been too busy recently. Various things have been assigned by the emperor to do. The key is that none of the errands are simple, which makes Wei Zhongxian not at all. Dare to be distracted.

But deep in Wei Zhongxian's heart, he understood one thing, that is, it would definitely not be easy for his own emperor to leave Beijing to patrol the border! !

Don't say anything else.

Just some of the people below revealed to him that in the Da Neihang Factory led by Han Zanzhou, many people left the Forbidden City with licenses. There was no news at all about where these people went and when they returned to the capital. This made Wei Zhongxian realize that something was wrong.

"Let's get down to business!"

Thinking of this, Wei Zhongxian saw everyone in front of him looking at him eagerly. Wei Zhongxian flicked his robe sleeves, frowned and walked towards the official hat chair in front of him, "Your Majesty said, from now on, the inner court will be under the jurisdiction of twelve supervisors, four divisions and eight bureaus. , we have to take charge of a part of the buildings in the Forbidden City to prevent water leakage, riots and other incidents. This is the area that we have to take charge of. Our family is fully responsible for this matter, and Wang Zhangyin assists our family in taking charge of it. "

"Don't blame our family for not reminding you. Your Majesty has already said that within the areas under their respective jurisdictions, anyone who dares to have water leaks, riots, etc. will be severely punished. If the entire Forbidden City is in chaos, then everyone from our family on down will be punished severely. They’re all waiting to be beheaded.”

When talking about this, Wei Zhongxian took out a letter and handed it to Wang Tiqian who was following him, then lifted up his robe and sat down.

This……

Everyone present looked surprised when they heard this, and their intuition told them that something big was going to happen.

Otherwise, their prince would never be like this.

"Also... after the emperor leaves the palace and starts patrolling, the Royal Imperial Army will implement the most stringent police patrols outside the Forbidden City and the entire imperial city."

Wei Zhongxian leaned on the cushions and looked at Wang Tigan and the others and said: "Those who have not been issued special waistbands are not allowed to enter and leave the Forbidden City. Anyone who dares to leave the palace without authorization will be punished as treason as long as they are caught by the Royal Forbidden Army Mansion!!"

"If there is an urgent need to leave the palace, please contact our family, Wang Zhangyin, and Manager Liu to jointly submit it to Queen Xiyuan. After the Queen approves, you will be allowed to leave the palace."

Wang Tiqian and the others were even more shocked now, and some of them who were thoughtful quickly realized something was wrong.

"Mr. Factory, you said that the Queen is not in Kunning Palace, but has moved to Xiyuan?" A eunuch in power hesitated again and again, looked at Wei Zhongxian and said.

"It's not just the Queen."

Wei Zhongxian said calmly: "All the empresses in the harem have moved to Xiyuan."

Even though Wei Zhongxian spoke calmly, when Wang Tiqian and the others heard this, ripples arose in their hearts.

The emperor left the capital to patrol the border, and the queen and other empresses in the harem all went to Xiyuan to stay temporarily. Even the stupidest people know that things here are not simple!

Not only is it not simple.

At this moment, Wei Zhongxian felt deep in his heart. The current Xiyuan can be said to be heavily guarded. In addition to the outermost areas, which are in charge of people from the Royal Forbidden Army Office, there are also inner and core areas set up in Xiyuan. These two areas, They are all in charge of the military eunuchs under the jurisdiction of the big expert factory, and there are even a group of unfamiliar eunuchs from the inner court placed everywhere.

It is not an exaggeration to describe the current Xiyuan with copper walls and iron walls.

Even if he wanted to go to Xiyuan to see the queen and report some important matters, he would still have to go through layers of interrogations, and Wei Zhongxian had guessed the reason for this.

The royal heir raised by the queen!

Although many people in the inner court knew who gave birth to the emperor's heir, no one dared to mention this matter until now.

Your Majesty, what exactly do you want to do on this grand patrol?

Wei Zhongxian, who was sitting on the official hat chair, became confused when he thought about this. Although he guessed many possibilities, Wei Zhongxian could not figure out what his prince was thinking...
