"I think you're too defensive of Wei Bao, he's just a fifteen-year-old kid, even if he wields power, how much can he do?" Kebaba said impatiently: "Even if it is to seize power, it is just to make more silver, which merchant does not like silver?" Wei Bao makes money, don't you get a lot of benefits? The amount of money that Wei Bao gives you a year, you may not be able to get so much for ten years yourself, so Wei Bao's power is greater, and he is not a big threat to you, nor is it a big threat to His Majesty, and it is even good for Daming. ”

"You, it's too easy to trust people, Wei Bao is young now, and he won't be young in a few years, besides, Wei Bao is already very old and spicy now, where does he look like a young man? Once a person is powerful and has been in power for a long time, who can guarantee that he will not have different intentions? Wei Zhongxian's eyes radiated a sharp gaze.

"You mean Wei Bao will rebel? His father-in-law is a British duke, with the relationship between the British duke and the royal family, if Wei Bao dares to rebel, the British duke will not agree to it first. Ke Baba said: "Besides, Wei Bao is a civilian official, and the civilian official controls the army, which is the national policy of the Ming Dynasty, the civilian official is not a military general, and it is useless to control the army. What can go wrong? I don't know what you think, so what to do with Wei Bao, I think this kid is pretty good. ”

Wei Zhongxian was taken aback, and glanced at Ke Baba, knowing that Ke Baba was in his heart, once Ke Baba's heart was inclined to Wei Bao, the situation would be very dangerous.

How much weight does Ke Baba have in front of His Majesty, Wei Zhongxian knows very well that once Wei Bao and Ke Baba join forces, they can kick themselves at any time, and when the time comes, let alone a governor of the second grade, it is the first assistant, why can't Wei Bao think about it?

Wei Bao will be sixteen years old in a few days, although sixteen years old is still very young, but so what? As long as Wei Bao has the ability to play the court situation, the officials will have a psychological imbalance for a while at most, and after three or five months, when everyone gets used to it, will it matter who is playing with the government?

After all, he, a eunuch who is not soft, can play with the government, not to mention that Wei Bao is the title of the gold list, and he is an upright Tanhualang.

Wei Zhongxian knew very well that although Wei Bao had slaughtered many people in the literary prisons in Daming Beizhili and Shandong, and almost offended the gentry, officials and scholars in the world, Wei Bao's fame was even greater, and the limelight even approached him directly!

His prestige has also risen sharply, at least, in the place where Wei Bao has run a literary prison, Wei Bao has the title of King Wei Yan, and many people are afraid of him.

It is definitely not a bad thing for a person to be feared by many people, especially in officialdom.

Wei Zhongxian is more aware of the attraction of a handsome young man like Wei Bao to Kebaba, he is an incomplete man, and he can't compare with Wei Bao in this regard!

Eunuchs still like women, physiologically, eunuchs are only castrated, but the gonads in the physiological structure are still there, and they will still have desires.

Psychologically, the development of deformity will naturally produce many more desires, and there are more favored eunuchs who listen to the emperor and concubines every day, who can stand it.

Except for the special concubines, most of the eunuchs' catharsis objects are the courtesans and palace maids.

Sometimes even with men.

Eunuchs don't have that, and catharsis can only be a mouthful.

But sometimes, perhaps, more sensitive, more demanding, or more possessive.

"Ma'am, do you have any thoughts on that Wei Bao? Wei Baojiao's wife and beautiful concubine, how can it mean anything to you. Wei Zhongxian didn't know how to provoke, and in a hurry, what he said was not very appropriate, so he was a little anxious.

Kebaba immediately said angrily: "Old Wei, what do you mean by this? Don't you just want to say I'm old? Do you want to call me ugly, do you want to say that I'm old and ugly? I only said that Wei Bao is a good kid, did I say how about I want to be with Wei Bao? Who do you think of me? ”

"Ouch, aunt and grandmother, why are we willing to say this about you? I don't dare to think so. Wei Zhongxian hurriedly said: "Now is not the time to be angry, I am guarding against Wei Bao, isn't it for Your Majesty?" Don't you think about your majesty? What if Wei Bao wolf is ambitious and has a heavy army? ”

When Kebaba heard Wei Zhongxian mention the emperor, he was no longer as resistant as he was just now.

Kebaba also knows that Wei Bao is a foreign minister after all, and what will happen to the dictatorship of foreign ministers, Kebaba knows.

No matter how authoritarian Wei Zhongxian is, he is just greedy for more silver and enjoy more, so as not to threaten His Majesty.

Kebaba's affection for the emperor is very deep.

Kebaba can enter the palace to become the nurse of the emperor's grandson, it is very good luck, the Ming Empire is very strict on the selection conditions of the wet nurse, must be a good family woman around the capital, between the age of fifteen and twenty, the husband and son must have, good appearance, no more than three months after giving birth.

When I arrived at the Hakka family, I don't know what the reason was, these conditions were not strictly implemented, otherwise the Hakka would never be Zhu Youxiao's wet nurse.

During the Wanli Dynasty, the mother of Mingshenzong, the empress dowager Li Caifeng, suffered from eye disease, sometimes good and sometimes bad, and could not be cured, so she found a female doctor Liu from outside the palace to be responsible for the treatment in Cining Palace, and the effect was not bad, and the Peng family, who entered the palace together, could speak well, and often talked about some miscellaneous things in the market, and the queen mother listened to it with relish, so the two stayed in the palace.

Peng was already pregnant when he entered the palace, and because he coveted the reward in the palace, he concealed this matter.

Peng was named a lady in the palace and named "Peng Jinhua".

One night she gave birth to a son, and she drowned the child in a commode.

This matter was reported to the emperor by others, and the Wanli Emperor was furious and immediately wanted to execute Peng, and later the queen mother interceded for her, only to beat thirty boards instead, and then drove out of the imperial city.

This Peng Jinhua is greedy for wealth in the palace, and even his own son can drown, or drown in the pain of urine, and his heart is ruthless.

So how big is the wealth she covets, her "lady" treatment is about thirty taels of silver per month, plus she is more favored, there are about fifteen taels of kitchen materials, and almost forty-five taels of silver a month, which is definitely a huge amount of money for ordinary families in the Ming Dynasty.

Peng's treatment even exceeded that of some royal concubines with relatively low status.

For Kebaba, on the one hand, the treatment is good and promising, and there is no need to worry about the life of the family outside the palace, on the other hand, after entering the palace, he can't go in and out casually, and her husband Hou Er died of illness not long after, and the Ke family raised Zhu Youxiao wholeheartedly in the imperial city.

Because he left his children, the Hakka family poured all his maternal love into the imperial grandson.

And the apocalypse is indeed more pitiful, in the early years in the Taiwo, because his father was not treated by his grandfather, the Taigong was already cold, and when he was a teenager, his mother, grandfather, and father died one after another, and he was left with only two closest people, his mother and father.

The nurse has become Zhu Youxiao's most beloved and attached relative!

The Hakka family took care of Zhu Youxiao very attentively, even if Tianqi ascended the throne and became the emperor, the Hakka family could no longer live with Zhu Youxiao, but the Hakka family still maintained the usual careful care.

In the winter of the first year of Taichang, the Hakka family was arranged to live in the second place in Qianxi, and later was arranged in the Xian'an Palace, and the distance from the Qianqing Palace, where Zhu Youxiao's residence was getting farther and farther away, but the Hakka family always came to the bedroom of Zhu Youxiao in the Qianqing Palace every day when it was almost dawn and waited, and waited until Ming Xizong woke up, and then went to the emperor's side to serve, and he would not return to the Xian'an Palace until seven or eight o'clock in the evening.

In April of the first year of the Apocalypse, the Emperor of the Apocalypse got married, canonized Zhang Yan as the queen, and also canonized the good concubine Wang and the pure concubine Duan.

For a man, it means starting a family and starting a business, and it means saying goodbye to the big boy he used to be, but the relationship between Zhu Youxiao and the Hakka family is still the same.

Zhu Youxiao's daily life is still mainly arranged by the Hakka family.

This is a common thing in Zhu Youxiao's opinion, but it has aroused a lot of criticism from the courtiers because it is not in accordance with the rules.

In June of the first year of the Apocalypse, Bi Zuozhou, the imperial historian of Shanxi Province, Liu Lan, the imperial historian of Henan Province, and Xue Fengxiang in the middle of the matter, and Liu Yixie, the acting head of the cabinet, and others went up one after another, asking the emperor to let the Hakka out of the palace.

The emperor pioneered the sealing of the nurse as his wife, and the younger brother of the sealing nurse as the Jinyi Wei Qianhu.

Now that the queen has been canonized, there are three palaces of good concubines and pure concubines standing side by side, and the free people who take care of the emperor's daily life in the palace, if the Hakka family wants not to leave the imperial city, where will they be.

The emperor also asked the courtiers who wrote about the matter, after Wanli was crowned Empress Xiaoduan, did his nurse Mrs. Dai Sheng still take care of her life in the palace?

If the emperor is grateful for the nurturing grace of the guest nurse, then reward more wealth and land, and let her enjoy the blessings!

Staying in the forbidden land in the big inner without rules like this, after a long time, and then bringing the suspicion of taking power without authority, I am afraid that it will not be good for the emperor and the Hakka family.

In addition to praising the merits of the Hakka family and allowing the Hakka family to return to his hometown, Liu Yixian also emphasized that this is a way to follow the ancestral family law of the Ming Dynasty and to protect the reputation of the Hakka family.

After receiving the recital from Liu Yixiao and others, Zhu Youxiao directly sent someone to the cabinet to preach the message, and Mrs. Fengsheng repeatedly asked to leave the palace in front of me, but I am not very old now, and the three newly married wives are still young, and they still need someone to adjust and assist them for the time being, and when my father's funeral is completed, I will choose a day to handle this matter.

Zhu Youxiao asked the cabinet to convey this to all yamen, and they were not allowed to entangle it any longer.

On the surface, what the ministers said is reasonable, the Emperor of the Apocalypse is a bit nonsense, and the queen is young, and it is clear that she is reluctant to let her nurse go.

But Bi Zuozhou's recital still leaked a little problem, that is, after Wanli got married, his nurse was still in the imperial city, the sky fell, or the ground sank.

Why didn't I see someone jumping to let Wanli's nurse out of the palace.

Why do you have to let this woman out of the palace.

Even if it is the ancestral family law, why should such a wet nurse stay in the palace to take care of the emperor's life.

Zhu Youxiao himself is only sixteen years old.

With the example of Wanli in the front, Zhu Youxiao handled it according to his grandfather's practice, which became a problem.

In the previous palace transfer case, Zuo Guangdou said that Xili Niangniang melon field and Li Xia, the Son of Heaven is bloody again, and it is the turn of the Hakka family.

Xi Li Niangniang is very young, and she is not Zhu Youxiao's biological mother, Zhu Youxiao was sixteen years old when he became the emperor, Xi Li Niangniang Lai wanted to seize power in the Qianqing Palace, and Zuo Guangdou could use melon fields and Li Xia as a rhetoric.

Bi Zuozhou, Xue Fengxiang, and Liu Yixian all have an identity, that is, the Donglin Party.

This happened in June of the first year of the Apocalypse.

Time flies, the days fly by, in September, Mingguangzong Zhu Changluo was buried, and the courtiers began to urge the Hakka out of the palace again, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse had to send the Hakka out of the palace.

After the Hakka family left the palace, the emperor missed it day and night, and often shed tears, so that he did not eat for a day.

It didn't take long for the emperor to send a message saying that after Mrs. Fengsheng Hakka left the palace, I missed it very much, so I sent a message to let the Hakka family come to the palace from time to time, so as not to worry about it, and the ministers of the outer court were not allowed to talk about this matter anymore.

And after returning to the palace this time, the Hakka family was settled in the Xian'an Palace, and actually enjoyed the treatment of the queen mother.

Because all the affairs of the palace are under the control of Kebaba.

In the palace, Wei Zhongxian may not be able to play with the guest, because Wei Zhongxian's tens of thousands of armed eunuchs are in the outer palace, not the inner palace, and in the inner palace, there are basically people who are guests.

As soon as this trick of coming out and re-entering was played, the ministers immediately blew up, and the imperial historian Zhou Zongjian and the official department gave Hou Zhenyang in the matter separately, and the rhetoric was quite intense, and he was reprimanded by the emperor.

The words of Ni Sihui and Zhu Qinxiang began to become violent, and they were demoted by the emperor by three levels and transferred outward.

Yu Shi Ma Ming went up and down, and under the rescue of the cabinet, Ma Ming was deducted from a year's worth of silver.

Yushi Wang Xinyi rescued Ni Sihui and Zhu Qinxiang, but as a result, he said a Hakka family again, and was demoted by the emperor by three levels and transferred out.

Zhou Jiamo, the secretary of the ministry, also rescued Ni Sihui and Zhu Qinxiang, and the emperor was quite unhappy, but because they were all old ministers, there was no punishment.

Look at this big drama of driving away and protecting the nanny, the ministers who appear are basically the Donglin Party.

And this time the struggle against the Hakka clan is also considered by later generations to be the first time that the Donglin Party started the struggle against Wei Eunuch.

In the face of the constant protests of the ministers, the Emperor of the Apocalypse no longer gave in, let you say it, as long as you don't say too much, you should not hear it, and the Hakka family will live in the palace forever.

So the relationship between Kebaba and the emperor is very complicated, let's talk about the relationship between men and women, it is likely that there is a point, after all, they are both adult men and women.

But there must be a mother-son relationship, or even more, after all, Zhu Youxiao grew up with a guest.

"If it weren't for the British Duke to bargain with you today, wouldn't you have already thought about letting Wei Bao take charge of the Yamen of the Governor of Haiphong and letting Wei Bao build a treaty port? Isn't it now that the military power of the more than 50,000 infantry troops of the Yamen, the governor of coastal defense, cannot be reduced, and then Wei Bao has been reduced from paying 9 million taels of silver to 3 million taels of silver? What do you want me to do? What can I do? Kebaba asked Wei Zhongxian.

"Our family hasn't thought about it, isn't this discussing with you?" Wei Zhongxian said.

"I don't know what to do? This matter is too complicated for me, a few words are not clear at all, and you also know that His Majesty is very anxious, and I don't have the patience to listen to it when it is complicated. Kebaba said: "Either say good things about Wei Bao, and follow Your Majesty's wishes, Your Majesty will definitely agree to the request of the British Duke." Either Wei Bao will speak ill of him, which will not only offend the British duke, but also make His Majesty unhappy. Now His Majesty does not say that he regards Wei Bao as a brother, at least as a very good friend. ”

Wei Zhongxian frowned, knowing that what Ke Baba said was the truth, time was pressing, it was difficult to explain it clearly to His Majesty, and it was impossible to tell His Majesty that he had talked to Wei Bao in private, and now Wei Bao's father-in-law, the British Father, had changed again, after all, he was just a eunuch, and he couldn't let His Majesty know that he was controlling the government in such a meticulous way.

"Okay, then let the British Duke himself say to His Majesty, and let His Majesty decide for himself. However, when the time comes, it is best to whisper a reminder in Your Majesty's ear, you still have to cut the military power of the infantry army of the Governor of Haiphong, Yamen! As for whether His Majesty is willing to let Wei Bao be promoted to the rank of Governor of Zheng Erpin, it depends on His Majesty's own intentions. The nine million taels of silver must not be missing a tael of silver! At this point, you must be consistent with our family, it is related to the overall situation of the Ming Dynasty! ”

Kebaba thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, when the time comes, I will give Your Majesty a reminder." ”

When Wei Zhongxian heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Ke Babakken interjected when His Majesty received the British Duke and Wei Bao, things would develop in the direction of his own intentions.

This will satisfy Wei Zhongxian.

Wei Zhongxian also felt that it would be very troublesome to say to His Majesty in advance, and it would be difficult to explain clearly, and it would be better to interject temporarily.
