As a homeless eunuch, Wang Gou'er has been a eunuch in a more legal court for more than 20 years and now holds the position of seals. It is easy to guess what he is thinking, and he may no longer want to be an undercover agent.
He could not get rid of Jianwen's control, and his biggest concern should be that Emperor Jianwen had control of countermeasures.
Once the two sides have had a quarrel, it is very likely that Wang Gou'er's background will be made public; because Wang Gou'er was originally selected from the Jianwen Palace, and there may be some people who are in the hands of Jianwen.
Even if these credentials cannot accurately prove his identity because it took too long, Wang Gou'er, as an important figure around Emperor Xuande, even concerns the emperor's personal safety. Trust is an extremely important factor. Once he really makes Emperor Xuande have suspicion, the outcome will be disastrous.
It can be seen that if a person's betrayal does not have the corresponding cost and deterrence, the credibility will be very low.
Zhang Ning thought for a moment, and then spoke in an ordinary way of speaking clearly but fast-paced speech: Wang Gou'er is of great value to us because of his identity, but there are two difficult problems to solve to win him over: First, it is not easy to contact him, so assuming that a close servant next to his mother's mother is someone else's work, and she lives in the inner eunuch province, and it is difficult for outsiders to have a way to meet you...
Yao Ji smiled and said: There will be no one like Wang Gou'er around me.
It's just a hypothetical analogy.
Zhang Ning continued: Secondly, the reason why Wang Gou'er did not completely surrender to Emperor Xuande was that those who were afraid of Jianwenjun had his handle.Although we know his identity, we cannot threaten it at all. Emperor Xuande has not been foolish enough to suspect the eunuch he reused by just spreading rumors without any evidence; after all, Wang Gou'er is still a famous person at the top, so it is too easy to spread rumors against him.
Yao Ji looked at him without any comment.
The ability to describe conspiracies so organized and openly is mostly an effect that only men can show, which is completely different from the palace conspiracy that Yao Ji experienced; Zhang Ning's expression and voice reminded her of something masculine.
Perhaps it was because she lacked the opposite sex around her for too long, so she was particularly sensitive to this different aura.
Seeing that Yao Ji didn't say anything, he said again: The first difficulty is smaller. It is possible to meet someone who is not easy to meet.But it is difficult to make him use it for me... But I remembered one thing: Emperor Yongle's death may be related to poisoning in the hidden situation. What is the truth?Was it really caused by Wang Gou'er poisoning Emperor Yongle?
Yao Ji shook her head gently: I can't be sure of this matter either.However, it was true that Jianwen and his ministers designed to assassinate the "Yàn King" several times back then. They failed in the previous few times, and many of them were implicated and died after being exposed.In the end, King Yàn died suddenly during the northern expedition, but no one could explain the reason.
Zhang Ning said: Maybe we can send someone to do something through this matter and give it a try to see if Wang Gouer will be hit.
Yao Ji quickly said: Send the Peach Blossom Fairy, she should be the one who is most likely to accomplish this.
Zhang Ning thought to himself that Peach Blossom Fairy is not only a person who knows a lot of inside story, but also knows Yang Shiqi's adopted daughter Luo Moniang. Maybe she can still get help from Luo Moniang after she arrives in Yang Shiqi. If Luo Moniang is next to Yang Shiqi now.
Zhang Ning was emotionally resistant to sending women, especially women who knew they were affectionate to him, to do such dangerous errands.
However, the woman who is good at this is already good at this, she has done things like being an assassin more than once; besides her, it is difficult to have a suitable person. After all, some confidential inside stories are not known to everyone, and they cannot tell others at will, but those who do not know the inside story cannot do this.
Zhang Ning no longer hesitated and immediately agreed with Yao Ji's recommendation.
A matter that Zhang Ning and Yao Ji reached an agreement can be done immediately after the decision is made.Yao Ji said: When the Peach Blossom Fairy is in the palace now, I sent someone to call her over.
After the Peach Blossom Fairy was summoned to meet, Zhang Ning told her some things that might be useful to her.
Including the facts of the Xianghui case back then, as well as some connections, Wang Gouer's other eunuchs in power, Wang Zhen, Luo Moniang and others.
……
It is very easy to investigate Jiangxi through the Assistant Secretary of the Jinyiwei Nanfufu Department. The officers of the Jinyiwei have privileges in their actions and have the authority to investigate almost everything.
So a secret report was soon reported to Yangzhou.
Although the bureaucratic system of the Ming Dynasty used copywriting and legal procedures as its operating model, it was relatively rigid, but the existence of the Jinyiwei made the emperor's eyes and ears more flexible, and the confidentiality was also high...
However, the existence of the character Wang Gou'er has caused great loopholes here.
Sili Supervisor is currently the admiral of the East Factory.
Dongchang and Jinyiwei collectively called the factory guards, which are institutions of similar nature. Dongchang cannot bypass the court's Lijian, and Jinyiwei is difficult to get rid of its influence. Since the Yongle period, after the Yongle, Hongxi and Xuande dynasties, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty realized the natural advantages of the eunuch group over the stability of the regime, and consciously gradually cultivated and strengthened the eunuch group. When eunuchs were favored by the emperor, Jinyiwei would be at a disadvantage and be controlled by the Lijian.
Therefore, it is almost impossible for Wang Gouer to know the secret of the factory guard.
The retainers sent by Hu Ying were found to be private and not as evidence of major policies. This time, the Jinyiwei people reviewed and confirmed the authenticity of the previous news.
In addition, a particularly important thing sent by the Nanzhen Fushi Department attracted the attention of Yang Rong and others.
A rebel decree drafted and promulgated by Song He.
The law includes many aspects such as military, government, civilians, and public opinion, and has spread more than a dozen items.
Among them, there are contents such as strictly ordering the army to disturb the people regardless of their status, all crimes will be punished, the people will be sanctioned and carried out a normal life, the local officials' crimes of imposing illegal taxes and corruption, and the selection of noble moral scholars as officials.
The laws are written in simple and straightforward words without any classical Chinese words.
Of course, the content of this thing is not the most important thing. The person who wrote it is Song He.
Who is Song He?
The disciple of the Jinshi Emperor of Jianwen Dynasty, he disappeared after the Jingnan Campaign. It was rumored that he ran away with Jianwen and his son; he was one of the important targets of the court's investigation.
Yang Rong said in front of Hu Ying, Yang Sihai and others: The most important thing at the moment is to send someone back to Beijing immediately to find Song He's handwriting in the cabinet warehouse and compare it with the authenticity.Song He passed the imperial examination and must have archived files in the Wenyuan Pavilion Warehouse (later the Western Library). Even his palace examination articles should have been found.
The Ming Dynasty was essentially a civil servant who ruled the country, and various documentary systems were quite mature, so even things from the past twenty years were archived.
Even the imperial edicts and decrees issued with seals during the Taizu period were stored.
Hu Ying agreed and gave advice: Although Mr. Yang is a cabinet minister and a senior minister of Wenyuan Pavilion, if he returns to Beijing in person, he has the right to check the files of Wenyuan Pavilion warehouses.However, to leave the palace, you must first meet the saint.We can report what we plan to the emperor first, but before it is improved, we can ask the emperor to put it aside and not tell the court ministers for the time being...
Yang Rong knew in his heart that the ministers of the court mentioned by Hu Ying mainly refer to Yang Shiqi.
In order to keep confidentiality, Yang Shiqi has obviously been excluded from the circle of this matter by them; however, even if everyone talks privately, they can only use hints to not directly frame Yang Shiqi.
Because Yang Shiqi is still the chief minister of the cabinet.
The cabinet was established during the Taizu period and started out as a political consultant, with a low rank and no real power.
However, after Emperor Xuande ascended the throne, he was determined to gradually reshape a more reasonable and complete power structure, setting the precedent for the cabinet ministers to serve as the Shangshu Department. The power of the cabinet ministers has increased greatly since then; there was no prime minister in the Ming Dynasty, but the cabinet ministers have more power than the prime ministers in many periods...
Prime Ministers of all dynasties generally had only decision-making power; however, the cabinet ministers of the Ming Dynasty participated in the decision-making of national major policies, and also directly had the power of execution by controlling the six ministries.
(According to the traditional three provinces and six ministries system, the Secretariat makes decisions, and the six ministries under the Secretariat are implemented. In the early days of Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, there was also a Secretariat, equivalent to the prime minister.) What is the situation when a few people participate in decision-making and master the execution procedures?In one sentence, several people discussed with the emperor what to do about imperial affairs, and then they could go to each other after the meeting, and almost no one could take care of them.This is also one of the important reasons why the Ming Dynasty was given the reputation of centralization and strengthening.
Therefore, as the chief minister of Emperor Xuande's cabinet, Yang Shiqi is a very powerful minister. As long as he is in his position for a day, how could the bureaucrats dare to easily say his good things?
However, because Yang Shiqi unfortunately once had a very strong friendship with the Hunan bandit King Xiang, his position in the hearts of the emperor and court officials is obviously declining.
It was just because there was no evidence to prove that Yang Shiqi and Zhang Ning were related, and Emperor Xuande Zhu Zhanji did not want to touch an important figure like Yang Shiqi for the time being.
The stability of the members of the power center is one of the signs of a regime's maturity. Emperor Xuande is well aware of the art of it. He is not a nonsense politician.
Compared with this, the later Emperor Chongzhen changed more than 50 cabinet ministers in more than ten years, which shows how bad it is.
……
Yang Rong and others discussed and divided the labor and cooperated.
Yang Rong went to see the emperor in person, and then rushed back to the capital to check the archives in Wenyuan Pavilion warehouse to find evidence; Hu Ying stayed in Yangzhou and was responsible for maintaining contact with the Jinyiwei Nanfu Department to master and plan the further development of this matter.
And at this moment, the young Yang Sihai once again put forward the bold and imaginative assumption: Since the rebels in Jiangxi can get people like Song He, it will be extraordinary.Jianwen was in Wuchang; it was impossible for him to be Zhang Ning's person.Then the rebels under the banner of Prince Jianwen is most likely true.
We believe that the Xiang King Party has a grudge with Jianwen and his prince. After Prince Jianwen failed to raise an army, the lower officials believed that it was an excellent opportunity for the Xiang King to eliminate hidden dangers.Where did Prince Jianwen go?Maybe he has been conspired to kill by the King of Hunan?
He could not get rid of Jianwen's control, and his biggest concern should be that Emperor Jianwen had control of countermeasures.
Once the two sides have had a quarrel, it is very likely that Wang Gou'er's background will be made public; because Wang Gou'er was originally selected from the Jianwen Palace, and there may be some people who are in the hands of Jianwen.
