"Si, the Si Li Jian Bing Pen, Marquis, this..."

Soon, Eunuch Zheng came to the model army garrison. At this time, facing Xu Changqing's call, Eunuch Zheng was definitely more cautious and careful than the summons of Empress Zhou and Zhu Cixuan.

But Muran heard Xu Changqing say his request in an orderly manner. Even though Eunuch Zheng was mentally prepared, he was stunned and stood there on the spot, not knowing how to react...

"how?"

"Master Zheng doesn't want to, or do you think I, Xu Changqing, are bragging?"

Xu Changqing looked at Eunuch Zheng with a smile, and added some tea to him slowly.

“…”

Eunuch Zheng was heartbroken in his throat and smiled bitterly. If Xu Changqing didn't have this ability, then who else could have this ability in the world?

"Mr. Marquis, I am not unwilling to do so, but..."

Eunuch Zheng wanted to speak but stopped.

Although he didn't say it, how could Xu Changqing not understand his thoughts?

He smiled and said, "Master Zheng, you think you have heard an old saying from the Chinese people, "You are not afraid of shadows when you are upright! If you go and do something bad, are you still afraid of ghosts calling?"

“…”

Eunuch Zheng was exhausted. After a while, he finally nodded with difficulty, but knelt on the ground with a "splash": "Marquis, I am a servant, I will sell my life to Marquis. I just hope that, Marquis, you can piti me, I really don't want to be enemies with others..."

"Haha, Master Zheng, this is far away. Come on, don't worry, have a sip of tea, let's say it slowly."

Xu Changqing smiled and pulled him up, "I still know your character. Moreover, this is not my Xu Changqing's request now, but our entire Ming Dynasty, Empress, and His Highness, you need Mr. Zheng to stand up. Mr. Zheng, you think, the prince is here for the first time. If there is no one to assist him, can you sleep soundly? Besides..."

Eunuch Zheng is quite capable, transparent, exquisite, and knows how to advance and retreat.

His biggest worry at this time was that he could not die well.

This is also a person's personality.

Some people have to climb up even if they sharpen their heads, but they don’t know that the higher they stand one day, the harder they will fall.

Some people are very clear about many things and just want to keep their little duties and live a peaceful life.

Eunuch Zheng is undoubtedly the latter at this time.

The main reason is that the situation in the world is that it is impossible to replicate the glory of Eunuch Wei back then. Eunuch Zheng is very clear about this.

Speaking of which, in the history of China, there were two dynasties, and the power of eunuchs was once powerful.

One is a powerful Han Dynasty, and the other is a national dynasty.

Unlike the powerful eunuchs in the Han Dynasty who had greater real power and even sometimes even repeatedly said to the emperor, the eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty were much more docile.

Even the "Nine Thousand Years" Eunuch Wei, who was in power and had built temples everywhere, had just been in power for the past, and had nothing to be stable, and he would do it, which was no different from having a home-raised old dog.

To put it bluntly, even if the eunuch in the state reaches the level of Eunuch Wei, they are just dogs raised by the Tian family. Everything depends on the emperor.

Without the support of the emperor, no matter how powerful the eunuch is, he can only be a rootless piaoping.

Over the years, the checks and balances between the inner court and the outer court have reached a peak.

This relationship was particularly serious in the late period of the National Dynasty.

The biggest capital that the inner court can confront the outer court is the "power of criticizing the red" of the Silijian.

All national affairs are summarized by the six ministries to the cabinet. After the cabinet's bosses discuss it, they will submit them to the Silijian. The Silijian will submit them to the emperor. After the emperor nods, the Silijian will approve the rewards and execute them.

Although the Silijian was a bit similar to the later Qing Dynasty Military Affairs Office and had no real decision-making power, it was too easy for them to control something in it.

Why did Master Wanli not attend court for more than 20 years and still firmly control the entire world?

Three points.

1. Personnel.

2. Financial power.

3. Military power.

After controlling these three lines, as a king and father, who dares to provoke his authority?

At this time, with Xu Changqing's chicken soup and encouragement, Eunuch Zheng also became more thorough and solemnly expressed to Xu Changqing: "Marty, although I am stupid, I am at this critical moment. I am willing to contribute to the Ming Dynasty and the people of the world..."

"Haha, that's right."

Xu Changqing smiled and patted Eunuch Zheng on the shoulder, "Time is tight, so I won't keep Mr. Zheng anymore. Master Zheng can go back and prepare early. In addition, Mr. Zheng pays more attention to the Imperial Horse Prison recently."

"Hit!"

Eunuch Zheng's mind, which was a little relaxed, suddenly came to his throat again. How could he not understand what Xu Changqing said?

The Imperial Horse Supervisor is in charge of military power. There is no doubt that this position must be Xu Changqing's confidant!

However, when Eunuch Zheng was relieved, Xu Changqing could say so clearly, and undoubtedly he truly trusted him.

Watching Eunuch Zheng leave, Xu Changqing breathed a sigh of relief and narrowed his eyes slightly.

In later generations, there was a saying: "Power must be put in a cage."

It is undoubtedly extremely difficult and even unrealistic to do this at this time.

Because the Ming Dynasty was too big, communication tools were underdeveloped, and transportation was even more inconvenient, how could it be fully controlled?

However, in the balance of the imperial art, the Ming Dynasty has reached a peak.

The balance between the inner court and the outer court, the balance between the inner court and the inner court, and the balance between the outer court and the outer court are connected and can be missed.

To be fair, although the court atmosphere was not good at the age of nine thousand, the balance in the world was extremely even and the general trend could be maintained.

However, after Emperor Chongzhen lost nine thousand years ago, the Sili Supervisor was not as good as the Military Affairs Office, and it was completely abolished. The eunuch party was completely defeated. Donglin was the dominant family, and the factory and guards were unable to make ends meet, almost like waste. Is this a choice that a wise emperor would make?

In history, the biggest problem of the small court in the Southern Ming Dynasty was still in the "party struggle".

It's ridiculous to say that the biting of these literati is definitely much more ruthless than before when they were eunuchs.

Instead of doing this, it is better to re-emerge the contradiction between the two camps.

In addition to the future, Xu Changqing is also preparing to adopt this model.

After all, it is really too national for later generations to be at this time...

...

Not long after Eunuch Zheng left, Empress Zhou sent a reply. Xu Changqing opened it and saw that there was a graceful lip mark on it...

This made Xu Changqing's mood quickly improve.

With the support of Empress Zhou, the establishment of the inner court is no longer a big problem, and once the inner treasury is established quickly, there is no need for Xu Changqing to bother with the conflict.

The inner treasury has no money, so they will find a way.

Li Taibai said: "If you have a happy life, you must be happy, don't let the golden cup face the moon empty."

After dealing with some trivial matters in the afternoon, Xu Changqing changed into a sturdy businessman's head, and then looked at the mirror and almost didn't know him anymore. Then he nodded with satisfaction and greeted Wang Xi and a few personal soldiers who had already changed their clothes, and went out leisurely.

To understand a city, nothing is more profound than the city.

At this time, the overall framework has been initially determined. Even if there is a collision next, it will be difficult to transcend this track. Xu Changqing must have a deeper understanding of the city of Nanjing.

We also need to understand what the people here are thinking, what are the biggest difficulties, and what demands need to be solved urgently, but they have not been resolved for a long time.

Things like these are more informative than those experienced by themselves.

Back then, even if he was as smart as Mr. Yuan, how could he have thought that his son, his confidant staff, would have colluded with each other to get two newspapers inside and outside?

However, what is not good is that just now, just slipped out of the military camp through the back door, rain began to float in the sky again.

This also made Xu Changqing a little helpless.

He is almost dying of drought in the north, but it is raining every day in the south...

"Candy candied haws, the freshly cooked candied haws, this guest official, do you want to have a bunch of them to try?"

"Hey, fresh chestnuts, I just picked them from the tree yesterday..."

"Sugar cake, the most delicious Lao Liu family sugar cake..."

Nanjing is prosperous.

Turning around an alley, the lively city atmosphere came to your face.

Even though it was raining lightly in the sky and there were a lot of people on the road in a hurry, many of them had already prepared umbrellas and were comfortable walking around the street stalls.

Xu Changqing also felt much relieved all of a sudden, as if a dragon had returned to the sea and began to fully enjoy this nature.

However, after walking around for a while, Xu Changqing discovered the difference between Nanjing and Haicheng.

Compared with the prosperity of Haicheng, Nanjing looks prosperous, but it can easily form two extremes.

Many people dressed in luxurious clothes slowly, looking here and there, unspeakable leisure.

But more people are tired, numb, and even embarrassed, just running around for life and seeing no hope at all.

Xu Changqing looked at it for a while and then frowned.

It has been more than two hundred years, and how can this deep-rooted one be easily broken?
