Chapter 3 stands on the cusp of history

On a night when the moon and stars are sparse, the sky is so quiet, without a trace of wind, without the slightest emotion.

"I hope that people will last a long time, thousands of miles together" Wang Feng, who had been looking at the moon for a long time, couldn't help but think of Su Shi's poem, and couldn't remember how long it had been since he had eaten his mother's cooking, and how long it had been since he had been scolded by the "old man".

"Hey, Mom and Dad, you're okay, the unfilial son really misses you so much. "When I see a family photo of three together on my phone, I always inadvertently shed that tear late at night.

"Young master, it's late at night, go back," Wang Fu next to him whispered.

"Let's go. "I still like to go to the study alone, it's better than an empty room, at least I'm not lonely, at least I still have those books with me.

"Young master, there is a person outside who claims to be from the capital and wants to see you," Wang Fu shouted outside the door.

"Is it from the capital?" Wang Feng was taken aback, and hurriedly said to Wang Fu outside, "Invite him in." ”

I saw that following Wang Fu pushed the door in was a man wrapped in a black robe, standing quietly aside without taking off his black mask.

Wang Feng knew that he was afraid of another Wang Fu, so he hurriedly took Wang Fu away, "Wang Fu, you are guarding outside, remember, no matter who comes to save me and says that I am asleep, no one will be seen." ”

"Got it, young master" Wang Fu slowly retreated backwards, carefully closing the door.

"See father-in-law. As soon as Wang Fu closed the door, Wang Feng half-knelt down in front of the man in black.

"Oh, Wang Gongzi please hurry up, our family can't afford such a big gift as Wang Gongzi, even if the prince comes, I still have to call you Gongzi? As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to help Wang Feng.

"Father-in-law, you are strict, father-in-law has been on the road for so long, he must be tired, please sit down. "Help the man in black to sit firmly. Wang Feng immediately served a bowl of good Biluochun.

"This is the best Biluo Spring in Suzhou this month, I know that my father-in-law is also a tea lover, father-in-law, please try it." ”

At this time, the man in black took off his wide black robe, revealing a wide face that had experienced the vicissitudes of the world, this person was none other than the famous prince Wang Chengen in history, Wang Chengen in history was the most trusted father-in-law of Emperor Chongzhen, and was the head of the Forbidden City, but now he is just the butler of the palace.

At the beginning, Wang Feng thought that it was King Xin who came late at night, but it was impossible to think about it, the Ming Dynasty was very strict with the feudal king, after all, Zhu Di became the emperor from the position of the feudal king, so later the emperors of the Ming Dynasty set up all kinds of rules and regulations to restrain the feudal king, one of which is that the feudal king cannot leave the fief without permission, and the feudal king cannot make friends with the minister privately. Although Wang Feng has no official position, he is also a landlord class after all, as long as King Xin dares to leave the capital, and is known by Wei Zhongxian, it will inevitably cause a bloody storm. So when King Xinwang Zhu Youzhen had this idea, the clever Wang Chengen next to him immediately stopped King Xin.

"Wang Gongzi, this time King Xin was originally going to visit your Wang Gongzi in person, but you also know that the status of the prince is only a vassal king, so it is inconvenient to meddle in many things, so this time I will visit you instead of King Xin.

"What's going on, I actually believe that His Royal Highness the King is going to visit him in person, is it?" Wang Feng remembered what the prefect Fang Guoqian said to him when he passed the mansion a few days ago, and vaguely seemed to have the intention of soliciting.

Everyone knows that Fang Guoqian is one of Wei Zhongxian's godsons, and he is one of Wei Zhongxian's minions in various places, the purpose is to help Wei Zhongxian better control various places. Fang Guoqian's solicitation represents Wei Zhongxian's solicitation, he didn't savor these before, fortunately he didn't pay attention at the time, and he was stupid and mixed up, and now King Xin sent the prince over to probably solicit.

"I don't know why His Royal Highness sent your father-in-law this time?" Although he guessed the purpose of Wang Chengen's trip, he still had to pretend not to ask.

"King Shin sent our family this time to get the support of his son. ”

"Sure enough, it's coming, it's coming, what should I do?"

Wang Feng remembered the scene when he first met Zhu Youzhen and Wang Chengen. It was a year ago, the Jin soldiers outside the gate invaded, and the emperor held a fund-raising event across the country in order to resist the Jin soldiers and raise military salaries, and the person who donated the most could be received by the emperor. That time, Wang Feng donated a whole two million taels, which was a small part of what he had earned over the years. That time Wang Feng was just for one of his own purposes, in order to become a warlord in the future, in that meeting, he saw the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and of course he also saw King Xin, that is, the later Emperor Chongzhen. At that time, Wang Feng's wit and bravery, but more importantly, wealth left a deep impression on those people, including King Xin.

Seeing that Wang Feng did not speak, Wang Chengen then said slowly, "Since the current emperor ascended the throne, Wei Zhongxian has formed a party for personal gain, controlling the government, and now I have received accurate news from the palace, the emperor is critically ill, but Wei Zhongxian has kept it secret, but has strengthened the guards of the palace, and some people say that Wei Zhongxian is preparing to plot a rebellion."

"Wei Zhongxian is daring, and my Wang will fight with him. Wang Feng said as he made a desperate posture.

Wang Chengen looked at it silently, and then continued, "You also know that the emperor has no heirs, if the emperor has something, then it should be His Royal Highness King Xin who should ascend the throne, of course, the king of Xin is not to covet the throne, but for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, King Xin will never allow Wei Zhongxian to do this."

"The ancients were really interesting, and everything had to be high-sounding. ”

"Then what is the prince going to do?"

Wang Chengen stared at Wang Feng deadly, giving Wang Feng goosebumps, thinking that this father-in-law would not be good at that.

After staring at it for a long time, Wang Chengen's mouth slowly spit out a few words: "Raise the army and serve the king." ”

"Raising an army is a great sin to kill the head. ”

"What, are you afraid of Wang Gongzi?" Wang Chengen's hand slowly approached his pocket. Wang Feng didn't know what it was, presumably as long as he said that he was afraid, it was estimated that he would be in a different place immediately. So he immediately changed his expression. Righteous words said, "The king of faith is for the people of the world, for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, and he is in danger, and the prince is not afraid of me, so why be afraid, say what does the prince need me to do?"

Hearing Wang Feng's answer, Wang Chengen himself breathed a sigh of relief, just now he was not sure that he could kill him, but he had to die, if he didn't die, the prince would be in danger, even if he died, he couldn't let the prince have something. That's your bottom line. No one can hurt the prince. No one can either.

"The prince hopes that you can personally bring a million silver to Beijing with me. Wang Chengen said slowly word by word.
