On the thirteenth day of the first month of the seventh year of the Apocalypse, the edict of King Suilu was issued. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"The Imperial Mansion and the Ministry of Rites and Soldiers:

My brother Xin Wang is old, his age is ten thousand stones, now he lives in Beijing, the year is three thousand stones, ten thousand dollars, after the country, the rice is all the branches. And elected the officials of the royal palace, now in Beijing, first give three hundred captains and one hundred soldiers. ”

When Zhou Cheng handed over the newspaper to Wang Zhizheng, Wang Zhizheng hurriedly read the newspaper.

Wang Zhizheng read the Di newspaper, and finally breathed a long sigh of relief, he picked up the Di newspaper and read it three times repeatedly, then threw it aside, and said to Zhou Cheng: "Go and call Mrs. Ru to come over." ”

Zhou Cheng responded and hurriedly called Liu Qingqing to come over.

Liu Qingqing came over and saw Wang Zhizheng sitting on the Taishi chair, throwing a newspaper on the ground, and a teapot and two teacups were placed on the coffee table next to him.

Liu Qingqing walked over, picked up the newspaper, took a cursory look at it, and said to Wang Zhizheng with a smile: "My lord, it seems that you let the queen's pillow wind take effect, and sure enough, Your Majesty ordered to increase the guard for King Xin." ”

Wang Zhizheng sat up, picked up the teacup and took a sip: "That's right." The edict said: Now in Beijing, first give 300 captains and 100 soldiers. The four hundred Janissaries were allocated to King Xin, and I didn't have to worry about security. ”

Liu Qingqing nodded, poured tea for Wang Zhizheng again, the steaming tea was so hot that smoke floated up, Wang Zhizheng took the tea, scratched the card with the tea bowl lid and floated on the tea leaves, and said lightly: "There is no news of His Highness's country this time, don't be afraid, once a year, according to common sense, your Highness's country should be made a vassal last year, but not this year, which means that the Holy Lord will never let His Highness's country go." ”

Liu Qingqing saw that Wang Zhizheng said these words coldly, and couldn't help but feel a chill: "......What does the husband mean?"

Wang Zhizheng took a sip of tea and said coldly: "The Holy Lord can't live this year, and he has accepted this fact. ”

Hearing that Wang Zhizheng was so direct, Liu Qingqing suddenly felt a sense of sadness, and her eyes turned red.

Wang Zhizheng was taken aback, looked at Liu Qingqing and asked, "Qingqing...... What's wrong with you?"

Liu Qingqing wiped his eyes with a silk handkerchief: "Although he personally issued an edict to send my father to prison, and then went offline to finalize the case, and condemned my father's case as a reverse case, ruining his reputation before and after, but for some reason, thinking that he was a dignified monarch, only twenty-three years old, and came to the end of his life, I still feel a little sympathetic to him." ”

Wang Zhizheng was stunned, and sighed faintly: "He is the emperor, he holds the power of life and death of the people in the world, no matter how strong a person is, he can be destroyed by him from spirit to body before he writes an edict." He does not deserve sympathy. ”

At this moment, Zhu Youzhen listened to the edict given to him by the imperial brother in the house, and suddenly breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart, thinking: This year finally escaped another catastrophe, he is eighteen years old this year, according to the law of the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty, eighteen years old must be a country. Since the imperial brother still allows me to stay in the capital, it seems that he is indeed deliberately arranging his funeral, no matter what, the country of no is a big victory.

For Zhu Youzhen, the country is equal to death. He clearly knew that if the country of Ruozhi, it means that the emperor's brother is under the influence of Wei Zhongxian, if the emperor has three longs and two shorts, Wei Zhongxian only needs to send a killer to kill himself, and then report that the king of the letter died violently, and he can immediately support an emperor he wants to establish.

Zhu Youzhen turned from surprise to excitement, and after receiving the edict, he immediately drove to his uncle Chongguo's mansion to plot with his cousin Wang Zhizheng.

When he arrived at the Chongguo Mansion, Zhu Youzhen knelt down to Wang Zhizheng and made a big salute respectfully, and Wang Zhizheng hurriedly helped him up: "Your Highness, there is a difference between respect and inferiority, you are a prince, I am just a marquis, how can you salute me." ”

Zhu Youzhen waved his hand and said solemnly: "Cousin, those false names are just floating clouds, I just want to say that if there is no careful planning, arrangement, and planning from you in the past year, Zhu Youzhen will have ten lives, which is not enough to kill." Since you began to assist me in March last year, my situation has been getting better and better day by day, and this is all the work of Brother Wang's plan, so you must accept this worship. ”

Wang Zhizheng sighed leisurely: "Your Highness, you are my lord, planning for you is my duty, where is the need to thank you." ”

Zhu Youzhen sat down, quietly looked at the lonely Nanshan in the cold winter outside the window, and said: "Brother Huang allowed me to keep me in the capital, and also transferred the Praetorian Guard to protect me, all of this is your credit." ”

Wang Zhizheng waved his hand and took a sip of tea:" This is not my credit, on the one hand, the emperor is wise, able to recognize the current situation, and plan for what is behind him, on the other hand, I also want to thank the queen for her kindness, he said in front of the emperor, Wei Zhongxian and Cui Chengxiu both want you to leave the country of Beijing, which makes the emperor vigilant, the emperor has great wisdom in his heart, he knows that if Wei Zhongxian or Cui Chengxiu is ambitious, he must firmly pave the way for you to inherit the throne, how can the emperor bear to abandon the country and give Cui Chengxiu the opportunity to usurp the throne. ”

Zhu Youzhen nodded and said movingly: "The imperial brother is as kind to me as a mountain. ”

Wang Zhizheng smiled slightly: "After all, you are his only younger brother, and he can only rest assured if the country is entrusted to you." ”

Zhu Youzhen stood up, walked to the window, looked at the deep winter mountain scenery outside the window, and said, "Brother Wang taught me how I should go next." ”

Wang Zhizheng didn't answer him immediately, but asked rhetorically: "Your Highness thinks that there is an essential difference between Wei Zhongxian and Cui Chengxiu?"

Zhu Youzhen turned around, looked at Wang Zhizheng, and said tentatively: "The difference between the two is that Wei Zhongxian is a eunuch and Cui Chengxiu is a normal person. ”

Wang Zhizheng nodded: "Your Highness is half right, Wei Zhongxian is a eunuch, Cui Chengxiu is a normal person, for eunuchs, the biggest ambition is to be able to run rampant in the government and the opposition, minions everywhere, and say nothing." But for the ministers, the biggest ambition is to be Cao Cao and Sima Zhao. Seize political power, military power, and plan for usurpation!"

Zhu You listened to it, and hammered the table shore with his fist: "Cui Chengxiu, this wolf ambition!"

Wang Zhizheng followed what he said just now: "That's right, Cui Chengxiu is a great careerist! Your Highness is now protected by the emperor, this is far from enough, you still have to protect yourself, and you have to do what Wei Zhongxian and Cui Chengxiu like." ”

Zhu Youzhen sat opposite Wang Zhizheng and listened carefully to Wang Zhizheng's analysis.

Wang Zhizheng took a sip of tea, stared at the teacup and said: "Wei Zhongxian wants to be prosperous and rich, you have to express your attitude to him, after succeeding to the throne, the glory and wealth will still be the same, you don't want to be the enemy of the eunuch party at all; ”

Zhu Youzhen has a very high understanding, he must have understood what to do, nodded frequently, and said while drinking tea: "What my brother taught!"

Wang Zhizheng continued: "In the current situation, there is Empress Zhang in the palace, I am in the Praetorian Guard, there is the Donglin Party behind Empress Zhang and Kang Guogong in the imperial court, there is the Fushe behind Liu Qingqing and Zhang Pu in the rivers and lakes, and there is also Wang Tiqian in the eunuch party. What we have to do is to maintain these forces, and we must firmly grasp the goodwill shown to us, like Wang Tiqian and Empress Zhang, we must always show goodwill and strive for it. ”

After Wang Zhizheng's analysis, Zhu Youzhen's young heart suddenly ignited a raging flame, and he paced in the study with his hands behind his back, his eyes burning.

Wang Zhizheng looked at Zhu Youzhen and continued: "In the next step, my goal is to let Cui Chengxiu and Wei Zhongxian, and the dragon fight in the wild! I'm a fisherman. ”

Zhu Youzhen said excitedly: "Brother don't worry, if you need money, even if you send Zhou Cheng to my house to get it, today, I will send you 200,000 taels of silver." Let you do the next step of funding. ”

Wang Zhizheng smiled: "Your Highness, then I might as well be respectful." ”

Zhu Youzhen waved his hand and said generously: "Sensei said 200,000 taels, even if I take out all the property of the Xinwang Mansion, I don't care." If you don't have a life, no matter how much money you have, you won't be able to spend it, even if you lose your family, you will come back after your money is gone!"

Wang Zhizheng chuckled and arched his hand towards Zhu Youzhen: "Your Highness is wise!"
