Chapter 218: Wang Zhizheng talks to Wei Zhongxian
Wang Zhizheng started quickly and ruthlessly, and in one day, he controlled Pan Sai'an, put the Hakka family under house arrest, and the two pregnant palace concubines, and then captured the Hakka son, Nanping Hou Hou Guoxing, and his younger brother Zhenning Hou Keguangxian, and imprisoned the two of them in Yanqing Palace with Pan Sai'an.

With lightning speed, the Hakka Group was quickly subverted.
But Wang Zhizheng knew that as long as the Emperor of the Apocalypse lived for one day, he could not execute the Hakka clan and the people of the Hakka group, because the execution of these people would violate the emperor's bottom line. Although Wang Zhizheng also understands that the possibility of the emperor waking up is extremely slim.
Wang Zhizheng returned to the Chongguo Mansion, and Liu Qingqing came out and said: "Master, I heard that Yang Huan came to the mansion to find Cui Shun today, and he said to Mr. Cui Shun that Wei Zhongxian was yelling loudly in the mansion for you to come over to see him, maybe he also realized that his situation was not good......
Wang Zhizheng frowned and thought about it, and said while unloading the waist knife and throwing it on the table: "Wei Zhongxian knows better than anyone else in his heart, although I haven't attacked him yet, he knows that he won't be long in coming. ”
Liu Qingqing sighed: "This old eunuch who has done all the bad things in this world is finally going to be judged." ”
Wang Zhizheng looked up to the sky and sighed: "It doesn't matter if you do all the bad things, or if you kill people like hemp, you have finally come to this point, the Ming Empire, after Wei Zhongxian, there is no Wei Zhongxian ......"
Wang Zhizheng's meaningful words made Liu Qingqing puzzled and surprised, she stared at her husband Wang Zhizheng in surprise, unable to see what this man was thinking.
Wang Zhizheng took off his official uniform and said to Liu Qingqing: "Qingqing, change my clothes and change into a casual dress, I will take Mr. Cui Shun to the Nine Thousand Years Old Mansion to see Wei Zhongxian." ”
Liu Qingqing asked with some surprise, "Is this ...... My lord, do you want a showdown with Wei Zhongxian? ”
Wang Zhizheng waved his hand: "No, it's not the time yet, I don't need to show any cards, King Xin will succeed to the throne soon, and it will be his business to deal with the case of Wei Zhongxian and the Ding Eunuch Party." ”
Qingqing asked a little puzzled, "Then, what are you going to do at Wei Zhongxian's house?" Qingqing asked as she changed Wang Zhizheng's clothes.
Wang Zhizheng asked Liu Qingqing to dress him, and said three words lightly: "Talk about your heart." ”
Wang Zhizheng took Cui Shun, dressed in casual clothes, and went straight to the nine-thousand-year-old mansion.
When I arrived at the gate of the mansion, I saw that the guard at the door was Wei Dazhi, the deputy commander of the Dadao Battalion.
Wei Dazhi saw Wang Zhizheng and Cui Shun coming over, and hurriedly bowed down and saluted: "To Lord Taifu, Lord Taichang Siqing, please be safe!" ”
Wang Zhizheng smiled and nodded, and asked Wei Dazhi, "Dazhi, how is it?" Is nine thousand years old okay? ”
Wei Dazhi scratched his head and said: "The old man talks crazy inside all day long, if you go in, my lord, he will bump into you, don't be angry with him!" ”
Wang Zhizheng laughed and said, "Dazhi, is it your turn to persuade me to refrain now?" Haha, don't worry, it's nine thousand years old inside, what does he say, I'll collide with him? ”
Wei Dazhi said honestly: "The subordinate means, if the old man is really crazy, you call me, and I will tie him up!" ”
Wang Zhizheng patted Wei Dazhi on the shoulder and said, "Stay at the door, don't provoke him without my order!" ”
Entering the mansion, Wang Zhizheng saw that the guest room was closed, and the nine-thousand-year-old mansion that used to be busy with traffic was now full of people.
During the Mid-Autumn Festival, several crows flew over, bringing endless decay to this mansion, which was once the highest center of power in the Ming Empire.
Wang Zhizheng sighed and said to Cui Shun beside him: "The prosperity has fallen, leaving behind a white and endless decay, a palace, just like this, the land has sunk." ”
Cui Shun was also full of emotion, he squinted at the few old eagles lying on the treetops, stroked his beard and said: "In the past two years, Wei Zhongxian has also tried his best, and in the end he still failed to fight you!" ”
Wang Zhizheng waved his hand and said: "If I am asked to deal with Wei Zhongxian in the last year of Wanli and the early year of the Apocalypse, when he was in his prime, I am not sure that I will be able to win." When I was an enemy of him, he was also in old age, heart failure, and his insight and sensitivity had decreased, so I was able to gain the upper hand everywhere. ”
At this time, the master and the slave had already walked to the door of Wei Zhongxian's study, Wang Zhizheng shook his sleeves, strode up, pushed open the door, and said:
I saw that Wei Zhongxian hadn't seen him for a few days, his hair had all turned white, there was not a single black hair, his face was gray, his breath was weak, as if he had aged ten years overnight, no matter how he looked at it, he looked like an eighty-year-old man.
Wei Zhongxian sat on the Taishi chair, holding his favorite purple clay pot in his hand, and a maid beside him was hammering his back.
Hearing the movement, Wei Zhongxian opened his eyes.
Wang Zhizheng lifted his robe and knelt on the ground and said loudly: "Xiaguan Wang Zhizheng, see nine thousand years old." ”
Wei Zhongxian said in an old voice: "What? Do you want to ask me for peace? Lord Prince, is there a mistake? ”
Wang Zhizheng stood up, pulled up a chair and sat down and said slowly: "In April of the sixth year of the Apocalypse, Wang Zhizheng first entered the Nine Thousand Years Old Mansion, was appreciated by the Nine Thousand Years Old, and became the captain of the guard in your Mansion!" Wang Zhizheng is grateful to Dai De, worship you as a godfather, since then he has been taken care of, in August of the sixth year of the Apocalypse, Wang Zhizheng sent an envoy to Jianzhou to return to China, 9,000 years old, and promoted Wang Zhizheng as the commander of the Praetorian Guard. In March of the seventh year of the Apocalypse, the 9,000-year-old Emperor asked the emperor to entitle me as a marquis......
When Wang Zhizheng said this, he sighed, and for a while the two ancestors and grandsons fell into silence.
Wei Zhongxian first broke the silence: "In the sixth year of the Apocalypse, on the fifteenth day of August, on the night of the full moon, the commander of the Jinyi Guard assassinated Tian Ergeng, and his head was separated, and it became an unsolved case, in September of the sixth year of the Apocalypse, Ni Wenhuan, the secretary of Taichang Temple, sued you for colluding with Empress Zhang, and finally failed to sue and was killed by your own hands, in October of the sixth year of the Apocalypse, you united Cui Chengxiu to wash the Zhenfu Division in blood, and killed the following sixteen people under the command of the Zhenfu Division, in the first month of the seventh year of the Apocalypse, Cui Yingyuan was demoted to the common people for false accusations, and in February, Li Kuilong, the imperial history of the left capital, was forced to fall into the grass, and you led the troops to kill, Hang his head in the capital for a month, at the end of the month, you and Cui Chengxiu conspired to force Sun Yunhe, who had been pardoned by the emperor, in May, Hou Qi assassinated me and was arrested, you first killed Hou Qi, and then killed Wu Chunfu, the new commander of the Zhenfu Division who framed you...... From the captain of the nine-thousand-year-old mansion guard, to the crown prince and the cabinet counselor, you are piled up with dry bones on this road. ”
Wei Zhongxian listened, sighed and said, "One will be a success." You think I'm a godfather, but you walk more steadily and ruthlessly than me. ”
Wang Zhizheng put down the tea cup in his hand, smiled slightly, and arched his hand and said: "If I say that I have to do this for the sake of the Zhu family's world, do you believe it?" ”
Wei Zhongxian was stunned, and suddenly let out a burst of bitter laughter.
The laughter gave Cui Shun next to Wang Zhizheng a layer of goosebumps, but Wang Zhizheng didn't seem to think anything strange.
He waited patiently for Wei Zhongxian to finish laughing, then picked up the teacup, took a sip and said, "Whether you believe it or not, I am for Daming." The eunuch party and the Donglin party have been fighting for decades, and half of the cases originate from the party dispute, the six gentlemen of Donglin, the seven gentlemen of Donglin, from Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou, Gao Panlong, to Xu Xianchun, Ni Wenhuan, Cui Chengxiu, whether they are good officials or bad officials, all of them died in party disputes. ”
Wang Zhizheng put down the teacup and calmed down: "The result of the party and government is that the strength of the Ming Dynasty is consumed, the "Daming Law" is abolished, and the Zhenfu Division can decide the life and death of an official, and the Dongchang can directly go to the three southeastern provinces to collect the centigold tax, bypass the account opening department, bypass the country, the Donglin Party and the eunuch party form a confrontation, but the emperor is in the middle of the coordination, losing his authority, and now the war in Liaodong, the people in northern Shaanxi are in turmoil, the country is drought, famine, and plague every year, the country is on the verge of collapse, out of the Beijing Division, starvation is everywhere, and the people are not able to make a living, I have worked hard for so long, It is for destruction, you destroyed the Donglin Party, I supported Cui Chengxiu to destroy your eunuch party, I subverted Cui Chengxiu again, the party struggle between the DPRK and China was all extinguished by me, and the authority was handed over to the emperor again, and the country was cleaned up again, the crisis was resolved, and the Daming Society was revitalized! ,”
