Chapter 6 Conversation (Asking for Recommendation Votes and Collections)

Of course, Zhu Youzhen knew the seriousness of this problem, and his eyes gradually condensed, of course Wei Zhongxian would not be afraid of him, and he also looked at him.

Lightning and thunder thundered in the sky, and from time to time lightning pierced the sky, illuminating the night, the rain became heavier and heavier, the air became colder and colder, and the atmosphere gradually condensed.

Just when the raindrops in the air were about to condense into ice, Prosecutor Zhu You broke the silence with a laugh, and then said, "Grandpa Wei, there is a lonely word, I don't know if you would like to hear it?"

Wei Zhongxian said respectfully: "His Royal Highness King Xin, please speak." ”

Wei Zhongxian called Zhu Youzhen the king of letters, which was to remind him that he was not the emperor now, and life and death were still in his hands.

Zhu Youzhen also disagreed, and said directly: "The ancients called the Yangtze River a river, and the Yellow River a river. The water of the Yangtze River is clear, the water of the Yellow River is turbid, the Yangtze River is flowing, and the Yellow River is also flowing.

The ancient proverb: The sage comes out, and the Yellow River is clear. But when did the Yellow River clear?

The water of the Yangtze River irrigates the fields of several provinces on both sides of the river, and the water of the Yellow River also irrigates the fields on both sides of the provinces.

I wonder if Gonggong Wei thinks so?"

When Wei Zhongxian heard this, he was shocked, and his evaluation of Zhu Youzhen rose again, and even his tone changed a lot, and said: "The old slave agrees with His Highness's words, please continue to speak about Your Highness." ”

Zhu Youzhen continued: "The Donglin Party doesn't understand this truth, and tells Lone to only use the Yangtze River and waste the Yellow River on weekdays.

Conversely, once the Yellow River overflows, it needs to be treated. This is the reason why Lone wanted to be close to the Donglin Party and hate the eunuch party before.

On the contrary, once the Yangtze River floods, Gu must also be governed, if I kill the eunuch party, and then the Donglin party sits big, who can help Gu to balance the court?"

Wei Zhongxian stroked his palms and laughed: "His Royal Highness's words are incisive, which makes the old slave suddenly open, so that the old slave can rest assured."

However, the old slave remembered that His Royal Highness was educated by the Donglin Party, and it stands to reason that he should be close to them, how could he have such an opinion?"

Zhu Youzhen only said eight words: "Empty talk misleads the country, but hard work prospers the country." ”

Wei Zhongxian chewed carefully, nodded slowly, and said: "Your Highness really impressed the old slave today, and Daming may really have hope of Zhongxing in the hands of His Highness."

At that time, if His Highness has a place where the old slave can be used, please give orders, and he will go to the soup and go to the fire. ”

This is the focus of Wei Zhongxian's speech today, the front is only the survival of the eunuch party, but now it is about his own future.

Zhu Youzhen was not polite, and said directly: "Father-in-law Wei is strong, of course Lone has a place to get you, how about the eunuch in Nanjing?"

Wei Zhongxian was even more shocked in his heart, he originally just wanted to be able to go to Fengyang to guard the tomb in the central capital, which was already very good, but he didn't expect to be able to become a eunuch in Nanjing.

You must know that Nanjing is the capital of the Ming Dynasty, and the eunuchs guarding Nanjing cannot be served as the emperor's cronies, so it can be seen that Zhu Youzhen really has a good fortune and cannot be underestimated.

However, Wei Zhongxian is not a simple person after all, he didn't have much contact with Zhu Youzhen before, and now let him be a eunuch in Nanjing: there must be conditions, so he said: "I don't know if the king has peace conditions?"

Zhu Youzhen felt very happy, and it was pleasant to talk to a smart person, and said:

"First, the forces of the eunuch party must be completely orphaned, and how to rectify it is a lonely matter, and you must not interfere.

Second, after you arrive in Jiangnan, you must develop your strength and then oppose the Donglin Party, weaken their power, and attract their attention.

Third, pay attention to the salt merchants and those families in the south of the Yangtze River, and help Gu pay taxes to the merchants when the time is ripe. What does Grandpa Wei think?"

Wei Zhongxian understood, Zhu Youzhen wanted him to make a knife, and he didn't mind this, after all, his value was here. However, he disagreed a little about the first one.

So he said: "Your Highness, the old slave has no opinion on the last two, the first old slave hopes to be able to protect a few people, I don't know if His Highness is willing to agree?"

Zhu Youzhen knew that if he wanted the horse to run, he had to give the horse grass to eat, and he planned to approve it directly for things that were not particularly important.

So he said: "These are all small things, just take care of it yourself." ”

Wei Zhongxian bowed respectfully and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, old slave!"

Zhu Youzhen calmly accepted his worship, after all, now that he has ascended the throne, there is no one to stop him!

......

The next day, after Zhu Youzhen and His Majesty the civil and military ministers saw Emperor Daxing, the time had passed overnight.

Wei Zhongxian also returned to his residence, and not long after he returned, Cui Chengxiu, the secretary of the military department and the imperial history of the left capital, and Tian Ji, the squire of the military department, arrived together.

During the reign of Tianqi, Cui Chengxiu, Tian Ji and Wu Chunfu, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, Ni Wenhuan, Taichangqing, and Li Kuilong, the left deputy capital of the imperial history, were called the five tiger ministers under Wei Zhongxian's account, and they were all Wei Zhongxian's hardcore friends.

When the host and guest entered the secret room, Wei Zhongxian scolded him: "What's the point of you coming here now?"

Now that the new emperor is about to ascend the throne, if the Donglin Party knows about it, I don't know that they will not give us another crime of conspiracy!"

Cui Chengxiu hurriedly distinguished: "Father-in-law, now we don't pay attention to the attitude of the Donglin Party, the attitude of the new majesty is crucial, the slightest carelessness will ruin the family!"

Tian Ji also said: "What Cui Butang said is true, if the new monarch kills us all, it will be a great crisis!"

Wei Zhongxian didn't want to hide it from these two henchmen, so he told directly: "This duke has already talked to His Royal Highness King Xin once last night?

Before Wei Zhongxian could continue, he saw Cui Chengxiu ask eagerly, "Father-in-law Wei, I don't know what the result is?"

He raised his head and saw that Wei Zhongxian seemed to be dissatisfied, so he hurriedly said: "The lower officials are also concerned about the chaos, and I hope that Father-in-law Wei will forgive me." ”

Tian Ji next to him also followed: "Yes, the lower officials are also in turmoil, and I hope that Gong Wei will know about it." I will be grateful and repay my father-in-law!"

Wei Zhongxian's face softened slightly, and he continued: "After last night's conversation, His Royal Highness King Xin does not particularly trust the Donglin Party, and he will continue to reuse us. ”

When Cui Chengxiu heard this, he was overjoyed and said: "Seriously, this is really great news." May I ask Gonggong Wei, what else did you talk about with His Royal Highness King Xin?"

Wei Zhongxian said directly: "His Royal Highness King Xin wants us to be all loyal to him and do things for him, and this prince will become the eunuch of Nanjing, and His Royal Highness King Xin will also allow me to protect some people." ”

Cui Chengxiu and Tian Ji were even more overjoyed, and said eagerly: "That's really good, I hope that my father-in-law will save my life, and in the future, I will only look forward to my father-in-law!"

Wei Zhongxian frowned, and said coldly: "Stupid, you should be the only emperor who is the first to look forward, and you are the only one who is loyal."

Because only the new monarch can save your lives!"

Cui Chengxiu and Tian Ji knew that they had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly said: "What my father-in-law taught me is that I should be loyal to Your Majesty and loyal to Your Majesty!"

Actually, Wei Zhongxian still hasn't said a word, and the three of them understand.

That is, if the preacher Zhu Youzhen just said it was in his ears, then the trust that had just been established would rise up and be suspicious, and that would be really a big deal.

After all, as soon as you Wei Zhongxian pledged allegiance to Lone, you formed a gang on your back foot, so you asked what you wanted to do?
