Chapter 455: The Great Purge 1 Kong Sheng rescued the old emperor and the emperor, in fact, in a sense, it can be regarded as crushing the conspiracy of the crown prince Li Yu.
For Li Yu's matter, it is about this layer of window paper, but no one has pierced it.
Many of the courtiers present at that time actually knew it, but since the emperor didn't know, because the matter was so important, no one dared to say anything.
Anyway, this is a bit of a broken matter between the emperor and the crown prince's father and son, and between members of the Li Tang royal family, and everyone knows it, that's all.
At that time, Yu Chaoen led dozens of eunuchs to escape from Daming Palace with knives, but was caught by Nan Jiyun, who was being banned outside Chengtian Gate.
After the defeat, Yu Chaoen actually knew that there was a dead end, but he couldn't sit still in the so-called dying struggle.
Even if there is only a glimmer of hope, I don't want to give up.
This is the basic psychological state of human life.
However, where can he run out of the palace, and Chang'an City, out of Chang'an City, this whole world is Li Tang's world, as long as he is in the territory of the Li Tang Empire, he is a eunuch, even if it is impossible to die at the end of the world.
After catching Yu Chaoen, Nan Jiyun did not dare to be specialized, without any hesitation, and detained Yu Chaoen and others in the Shenlongwei Yamen Prison overnight, and urgently reported to Kong Sheng, who was accompanying the emperor in the palace to deal with the aftermath.
In order to prevent accidents, Nan Jiyun personally sat in the prison and guarded Yu Chaoen's group of eunuchs.
The eunuchs in the palace rebelled, almost killed the emperor, and forced the emperor to abdicate, which was a profound lesson for the emperor, and also sounded the alarm for the Li royal family.
But it is impossible for the palace not to need eunuchs to serve, and it is unrealistic to completely kill all the eunuchs in the palace, unless the emperor has to do everything himself.
But as long as they are involved with Yu Chaoen and others, they will all be killed.
The emperor was ruthless this time, and would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go.
It is said that Li Heng is not a very ruthless person, but anyone has a bottom line in everything, and no one can be indifferent when he touches the bottom line.
For Li Heng, his bottom line is that the throne and imperial power are inviolable.
Don't say that Yu Chaoen, a group of lowly eunuchs, is the powerful of the clan, as long as someone dares to touch this red line, it will definitely cause the emperor's thunderous counterattack.
For the emperor's angry revenge, Kong Sheng was also a little helpless.
In fact, most of the eunuchs are victims, and the culprits who really take the lead are still Yu Chaoen.
It's just that Kong Sheng also knows that if the emperor is not allowed to vent this evil breath, I am afraid that it will affect the subjects of the world.
This is definitely a bad breath, who doesn't have long eyes at this time and hits the emperor's muzzle, it is definitely considered unlucky.
Zhu Huiguang, the temporary acting provincial supervisor of the Inner Servant Province, made a huge list, as long as it was involved with Yu Chaoen, he was among them.
And Shenlongwei arrested people according to the list, and waiting for the emperor to deal with it was actually nothing more than two ends, either kill on the spot, or expel him from the palace and exile for three thousand miles, there is no second way to go.
Overnight, the bloody and bloody ghosts in the Daming Palace cried wolf, and some of the thousands of eunuchs and palace maids in the deep palace didn't understand what was going on, and they were still asleep, many people were arrested and put into the Shenlongwei prison, and some people were even killed on the spot because of resistance in the chaotic situation.
Of course, Zhu Huiguang will inevitably use this to exclude dissidents, establish his own authority, and cultivate his cronies.
Kong Sheng was a bystander, and he was clear about Zhu Huiguang's small movements.
It's just that Kong Sheng pretended not to know anything and let Zhu Huiguang dispose of it.
Get rid of a Yu Chaoen, there will definitely be a Zhu Huiguang, even if it is not Zhu Huiguang, there must be someone else, this is inevitable.
Unless the emperor abolishes the eunuch system, the hidden danger of the eunuch dictatorship and the inner palace will always exist.
There is no doubt about it.
The current Zhu Huiguang seems to be fine, but who knows whether Zhu Huiguang will have an expanded desire for power like Yu Chaoen after taking power in the future, it is difficult to say.
But after this lesson, the emperor must carry out transformative restrictions and monitoring of the power of the eunuchs around him, unless the emperor does not want his own safety, otherwise if Kong Sheng is not mistaken, the emperor will reform the inner palace system recently, and sort out and redefine the responsibilities and powers of the inner chamberlain.
Kong Sheng felt that this was also a good thing, and it was of great value to prevent eunuchs from interfering in politics.
If it was Kong Sheng, he would turn the Ministry of Internal Service into a pure service organization, stripping him of his powers and responsibilities.
The Inner Servant Province is the Inner Palace Service Department, which can only give the eunuchs the responsibilities and functions of doing things, and there is no need to give them excessive powers.
At the same time, the introduction of non-eunuch palace guard service agencies, without the need to set up a new one, Shenlongwei is in its responsibility.
It's just that the emperor can't let non-eunuch men enter the palace, and there are thousands of female concubines in the palace, and men and women are mixed together, and they are getting deeper and deeper, and it is inevitable that there will be problems.
It is inevitable that the emperor will not let a second man exist in his harem.
Therefore, Kong Sheng is happy to see it.
And to intensify the emperor's determination and courage to reform, in fact, there is still a lack of a necessary inducement, Zhu Huiguang's small actions behind it may play a role in stimulating the emperor.
You must know that the current emperor is overly sensitive, and he will be vigilant about any impulses and power ambitions of the eunuchs around him.
With Yu Chaoen's evil example in front of him, the emperor will never raise tigers for trouble or tolerate adultery Morning.
The emperor was frightened and took a nap for an hour, and then woke up again.
Outside the palace, the core ministers of the crown prince Li Yu, Kong Sheng, Li Mi and Du Hongjian did not leave, and they drank tea outside the palace to discuss and wait for the emperor to summon them.

The spring breeze outside the hall is warm, and the night is dark.
Although it was early in the morning, the temperature was quite high.
The sparse starlight sprinkled down, and Kong Sheng and several people looked solemn and waited for their seats.
Some bowed their heads silently, some looked up at the exquisite cornices of the palace, and some silently looked at the starry sky and thought secretly.
There is such a big thing in the palace, and the enraged emperor will inevitably be angry with the courtiers because of Yu Chaoen's matter, and so on, there will obviously be a new round of reshuffle in the situation between the DPRK and China.
To survive such a political struggle, we need extremely high political wisdom and we need to take the right side.
There were many shadows in the hall, Zhu Huiguang hurriedly came out of the hall, and said respectfully to Li Yu and the others: "His Royal Highness the Prince, princes and ministers, Your Majesty has a decree, announce that you will enter the palace to meet you."
In front of Li Yu and others, Zhu Huiguang maintained due and even deliberately disguised courtesy.
Li Yu hurriedly got up and led everyone into the hall.
Bright candlelight rose in the hall, and the emperor sat on the golden soft floor in a thin blanket, looking gloomy and haggard.
The few little eunuchs who were waiting on the side were sincerely frightened and frightened.
Yu Chaoen took the lead in rebellion, and a group of eunuchs in the palace almost turned Li Tang's sky upside down, and the angry emperor was a crater about to erupt for these little eunuchs.
On the other hand, after this, the emperor was physically and mentally traumatized, and his face looked even older.
But it also triggered a hint of violence in the emperor's heart.
To be honest, Li Hengben was not a violent emperor, and his personality was feminine.
But no matter how weak a person is, at a critical moment, he will go berserk, let alone the emperor.
The emperor's gloomy gaze swept over the crown prince Li Yu's body, and Li Yu's heart was excited, but he pretended to look as usual.
What kind of mind the emperor is, he is not a fool, as long as he calms down a little and comes to his senses, the previous twists and turns of Li Yu will be in his judgment.
It's just that he won't take the initiative to pierce this layer of window paper, and even if he is guilty, Li Yu will not admit his guilt.
The turmoil of Yu Chaoen's rebellion and the old emperor's attempt to restore the throne has not yet subsided, and it is really unnecessary to add the troubles of a prince.
The Emperor quickly looked away.
The emperor looked at Kong Sheng, the reason why he left Kong Sheng and others before going to bed was mainly to deal with the aftermath.
And to do a good job in the aftermath, Kong Sheng is of course the most important candidate.
The emperor's voice was a little hoarse, with a faint trill: "Kong Sheng, I ask you, has that eunuch ever caught the huge capital, tens of thousands of forbidden troops and Shenlong Guard, if you let another eunuch escape, I only ask" Kong Sheng bowed down and said loudly: "Back to Your Majesty, the forbidden army has captured Yu Chaoen and 36 others outside the Chengtian Gate, and they are currently being detained in the Shenlongwei Prison.
There were a total of 658 people in the palace who participated in the rebellion, except for those who were killed on the spot by the East Palace guards and the forbidden army in the Xuanzheng Palace, the remaining 218 people were all arrested, and none of them escaped the net.
Waiting for His Majesty's disposal" At this time, Zhu Huiguang suddenly added on the side: "Your Majesty, the slave maid has taken down all those who have colluded with Yu Chaoen in the Ministry of Internal Service and are waiting for Your Majesty's judgment."
His speech was interrupted, Kong Sheng frowned, but his expression remained unchanged, and he withdrew what he had left, waiting for the emperor's orders.
He knew very well in his heart that this kind of critical moment was a good opportunity for Zhu Huiguang to ascend to the throne, and this person would definitely do his best to perform and win the emperor's favor and trust.
"You're doing a good job, I didn't use the wrong person, and I hope I won't look at the wrong person either."
The emperor's gloomy words made Zhu Huiguang a little stunned when he heard it.
He retreated respectfully, stood behind the emperor, bowed his head, and did not dare to interject another word.
His interjection just now had already aroused the emperor's dissatisfaction.
Zhu Huiguang knew that the opportunity was rare, but at the same time, it was easy to arouse the emperor's suspicion, and he had to master a just right degree.
Zhu Huiguang suddenly remembered the words of King Li Tong at this time.
Li Tong hurriedly came to see him after the incident, and repeatedly told him to keep a low profile and be humble, and not to show any traces of jumping up and down in front of the emperor or other courtiers.
Otherwise, all his efforts will be wasted.
The emperor glanced at Zhu Huiguang, nodded slowly, and his voice was cold and angry: "Kong Sheng, pass on my message, Yu Chaoen and other eunuchs and thieves are executed in Lingchi, and the nine clans sit together."
Those who rebel from thieves in the palace shall be punished with capital punishment according to the law and displayed to the public.
All those who were involved with the traitors were expelled from the palace gate and exiled to the barbarian land in the southwest for three thousand miles. ”oshow7 t1706231537:
