Chapter 52: Ke Wei used crying again
Ke Shi said disdainfully: "The wind and waves have passed, and such a small wave actually makes you panic like this, you, the older you get, the more useless you are." ”
Wei Zhongxian had no plan, and asked rhetorically: "Then, what do you say should be done?" ”
Ke Shi smiled: "It's also simple, and you still use that old trick." ”
If you want to talk about the so-called "old trick" of the Hakka family, you have to go back to the fourth year of the Apocalypse (1624 AD). That year, Yang Lian impeached Wei Zhongxian for the 24 deadly crimes. Wei Zhongxian was very panicked, and hurriedly ran to the apocalypse, crying out for injustice and crying bitterly. The apocalypse was confused by it and severely reprimanded Yang Lian. Since then, no one dares to mess with him Wei Zhongxian.
Whenever he recalls this, Wei Zhongxian's heart is always sweet. But at this time, he shook his head and said, "This time is not that time." ”
Ke Shiqi said: "How do you say this? ”
Wei Zhongxian pondered: "At that time, the emperor was the Apocalypse, and now the emperor is Chongzhen, at that time, our children firmly controlled the palace guards, and now most of the damn Yuan Chonghuan has been replaced." ”
Ke Shi snorted coldly and said: "Yuan Chonghuan is also selfless, but he only thinks about showing his ambitions, and I don't think he may have the same heart as Chongzhen." ”
Wei Zhongxian said decadently: "Except for his own ambitions, Yuan Chonghuan will not have the same heart with anyone, so I expect that he will not last long, but for the time being, he will definitely stand firmly on Chongzhen's side." ”
Ke said impatiently: "Our family doesn't care who he is on, now in addition to that old trick, does our family have a choice?" ”
Wei Zhongxian lowered his head and thought about it, but there was indeed no other way, turned to his personal eunuch and said, "Where is Chongzhen now?" ”
The personal eunuch hurriedly said: "I just returned to Qianqing Palace from Kunning Palace. ”
Wei Zhongxian paused and said, "Hurry up, go, go to see Chongzhen." ”
Although Chongzhen tried his best to suppress his excitement, he still trotted all the way back to the Qianqing Palace. This is the reality he has been waiting for in his dreams, and it really appeared!
He looked at the recitals with excitement, reaffirmed the fact that he could scarcely believe, and got up and paced slowly, to calm his emotions that seemed to be burning.
After a long time, his emotions finally calmed down, but he couldn't help but secretly ask, "How is the situation over there Yuan Chonghuan?" ”
Wang Chengen said: "He's still diligent, it should be about the same, right?" According to the news that has just come in, he has now entered the military department. ”
And so it is. At this time, Yuan Chonghuanguo had returned to the military department. He hadn't closed his eyes for a day or night, but he wasn't in a hurry to go to bed, it was so sudden that he had to take care of it.
Speaking of conscience, because Chongzhen never shows his true face, Yuan Chonghuan is not optimistic about him. Therefore, when the funeral of the Emperor of the Apocalypse was over, for fear of being contaminated with right and wrong, Yuan Chonghuan packed up and prepared to return to his hometown in Guangdong.
Before the trip was made, the news came that Chongzhen forced Cui Chengxiu to resign and return to his hometown: "Cui Chengxiu is the head of Wei Zhongxian's Five Tigers, Chongzhen actually dares to make a move on him?" Could it be that Chongzhen is different from the apocalypse? Impossible, clearly, Chongzhen also relies on Wei Zhongxian everywhere, the enthronement ceremony, the funeral of the apocalypse, and the "Enthronement Edict", where is there no shadow of Wei Zhongxian?
However, if Chongzhen is really different from the Apocalypse, let's just leave, wouldn't we miss a Ming Jun? Don't we let those ambitions fail? We're not reconciled. Then again, if Chongzhen is not as good as the Apocalypse, wouldn't we be stuck in right and wrong again? In that case, it's better for us to end up in the countryside. ”
Thinking about it, he didn't even realize that his subordinate brought someone in, until his subordinate shouted softly, Yuan Chonghuan came back to his senses in a daze and asked, "Is there something wrong?" ”
The subordinate pointed to the person behind him and said, "This master said that he was ordered by someone to see you urgently." ”
Yuan Chonghuan realized that there was someone behind him, looked up, and asked, "What's the matter, let's talk about it." ”
The man neither saluted nor answered, but came up and handed him a package. Yuan Chonghuan got up and took it, and slowly opened it curiously, Secret Decree! Yuan Chonghuan was taken aback, then hurriedly wrapped up again, retreated from the subordinates, went to confess, and worshiped again and again before he dared to uncover it again.
"What is this called, this is called being ordered in danger, what kind of trust does the emperor have in us, how dare we have the slightest slackness?" After seeing it, Yuan Chonghuan hurriedly put it into his arms, and when he was about to speak, the man had already said: "The emperor said that he should be in a hurry and follow the power, and he hopes to act according to his orders." ”
Yuan Chonghuan rushed to the direction of the palace to bow again, and immediately acted on orders. During this period, the interference of Kewei's cronies was naturally indispensable, and Yuan Chonghuan was ruthless and decisive. As a result, the situation of the defense of the capital and the palace was quickly reversed. Yuan Chonghuan still didn't dare to be careless, and after thinking about it again and again, he checked it again and again, and there was indeed no omission.
Thinking of this, Yuan Chonghuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly remembered something again, and couldn't help but sit up straight: "Let's only think about it from the safety aspect, and those people who are replaced don't care about the request, and they won't commit the emperor's taboo, right?"
Probably not, didn't the emperor say it, and the matter is urgent. Besides, the emperor is a Ming monarch, and he only plans the overall situation, where is the accounting more important than these small things? That's exactly what happened. ”
Thinking like this, he finally put his mind at ease. In fact, he couldn't worry about it, because the drowsiness came up, his brain began to get confused, and after a while, he snored. He was so tired.
But he didn't know that Chongzhen was raising his voice and asked, "Went to the military department's office?" At this time, what did he do when he went to the military department? Do you want to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight? ”
"How could he suddenly have such a strange idea?" When Wang Chengen heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and secretly thought, relying on the fact that he had been following him with some affection, he stepped forward and said: "General Yuan has always been loyal and resolute, since he has been ordered, he will never have two ambitions, let alone such confused thoughts."
According to the reported news, after General Yuan was ordered, he vigorously rectified the guards of the capital and the palace, and withdrew, arrested, and replaced a large number of eunuch Wei's cronies, and the situation was completely reversed, and the emperor could do things with confidence. ”
Of course, Chongzhen also hoped for this, but he just felt inexplicably uneasy, and he hoped that someone would argue with him, because only arguing could make him confirm the facts in front of him. Therefore, if Wang Chengen felt offended, he not only did not annoy, but made him happy.
He glanced at Wang Chengen and sneered: "He is loyal and resolute, he withdraws, arrests, and replaces so many people, has he ever asked for a decree?" Yes, I said he should be in a hurry, but he should at least report it afterwards, right? Alas, this man has long liked to make his own claims, which is not a good thing after all. ”
Wang Chengen was waiting for him to get angry, he didn't want him to come to such a sentence again, so he couldn't refute it again, so he followed him and said: "It's time to report it, there should be." ”
Seeing that Wang Chengen was no longer arguing with himself, he was too lazy to speak anymore, and lowered his head to think about his thoughts.
Wang Chengen didn't know what he was thinking, and said tentatively: "The current situation, evidence, and excuses are all available, is it time to make an order?" ”
He was stunned for a moment and smiled: "I'm in a hurry, isn't it?" No, if he doesn't move, I won't move, so that I can avoid bloodshed, and I will let them perform fully, so that the world can see them for what they really are. ”
As soon as the words fell, he saw Wei Zhongxian shouting "wronged" in his mouth, and stumbled into the palace.
Chongzhen looked at Wang Chengen and whispered: "No, it's coming, you go and recruit the courtiers into the palace and see how I deal with him." ”
