Feng Quan understood that it was time for him to behave, and hurriedly scolded: "Yang Sichang, what are you, dare to talk to His Majesty and Gonggong Wei like this. ”

Yang Sichang immediately knelt down and asked the emperor to resign.

Gu Bingqian still kept his mouth shut tightly and did not say a word.

Wei Bao still hasn't figured out what the situation is.

Wei Zhongxian engaged Yang Sichang, and he also engaged Gu Bingqian, these two people are not too much for Wei Zhongxian, right, they don't need to go through so much trouble, right?

"Yang Sichang, you get up, young and talented, you should think about how to serve the imperial court, and resign when you encounter something, where is the backbone of a Ming courtier?" Zhu Youxiao said.

Wei Bao just understood a little, daring to love Yang Sichang is already a little up-and-coming in the hands of Zhu Youxiao, listening to the emperor's tone, this Yang Sichang is quite favored.

Wei Zhongxian is so angry with Yang Sichang, it is estimated that Yang Sichang can report the Ming Dynasty's government situation to Zhu Youxiao, the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and it should be reported truthfully, which moved Wei Zhongxian's scales.

As for how the emperor knew to report directly to Tobe Langzhong, it is estimated that it may be a coincidence.

Maybe Wei Zhongxian thinks that Yang Sichang is the person appointed by Gu Bingqian, and they are all 'his own people', this kid can't talk nonsense, so he shouldn't care, where did he think that as soon as Yang Sichang saw the emperor, he poured tofu into a bamboo tube and said everything.

"Father-in-law Wei, don't interject casually, today is to discuss how to plug the gap, nine million taels of silver, this is not a small amount! It is easy to drive away Yang Sichang's small household department, but the question is what to do with the household department and what to do with the Ming finances. Zhu Youxiao said.

Wei Bao nodded secretly when he heard this, and said this to Zhu Youxiao, which can prove that Zhu Youxiao is not a mushy emperor, with a little thought, his thinking is very clear, and he can get to the point, in one sentence.

"This is easy to do, didn't Your Majesty bring Lord Wei here?" Wei Zhongxian said: "Lord Wei is a first-class smart man in the Ming Dynasty, with extraordinary intelligence, he was named on the gold list at the age of fifteen, and raised a lot of silver for His Majesty, and he can also stabilize the court situation. ”

Wei Bao sweated, he said it so well, is this me?

The people who make Wei Bao's skin very thick are a little embarrassed.

Emperor Zhu Youxiao of the Apocalypse nodded and said, "That's right, Wei Aiqing, what do you think?" This matter is a hundred thousand urgent for Da Ming, and the stakes are very high. ”

"Where is there any wisdom in Weichen, if you want to say that there is, it only depends on Your Majesty's grace, and there is a little bit of good luck, and this luck is all given by Your Majesty." Wei Bao said modestly: "I think this Lord Yang can make the income and expenditure account books so meticulously, and he is indeed a talent, so don't dismiss him, right?" ”

Yang Sichang didn't expect Wei Bao to speak for himself, a little moved and a little surprised.

Because today is the first time Wei Bao has met Yang Sichang.

There are so many Jingguan, like Yang Sichang's grade, it's not that something big has happened, and it's rare to have the opportunity to meet Wei Bao.

Wei Bao has not served in the household department mainly either.

The original Hubu Shangshu and Hubu Shilang and a few other people, Wei Bao recognized.

"Wei Aiqing, now is not the time to be polite, I want to ask you, is there a way to find a way for Daming to solve the nine million taels of silver holes?" Zhu Youxiao asked.

Wei Bao shook his head and said: "Wechen didn't think of a way, but Wechen thinks that Lord Shoufu should have a way, I chatted with Lord Shoufu for a while this morning, and Lord Shoufu proposed a plan, and Weichen thought it was very good." ”

Gu Bingqian was stunned, he originally saw that the emperor took the initiative to ask Wei Bao, Wei Bao should have said it himself, right? Why do you still push the old man out as a shield?

Wei Guangwei and Huang Liji also had this thought, although they were named together by Wei Bao when they were in the cabinet office, they still didn't want to wade into troubled waters.

"Oh? Shousuke, do you have a way? Why didn't you say it earlier? Seeing that it is the end of the year, I can't get the money next month, and if I can't send it to the soldiers before the New Year, there will be a big mess. Zhu Youxiao said: "At least there will be mutinies in various places, and at worst, the dynasty will be in chaos, and the people will also be in chaos." ”

Wei Bao nodded secretly when he heard this, and he rushed to the words of Emperor Zhu Youxiao of the Apocalypse, and it can be seen that Zhu Youxiao is definitely not a person who can only play carpenter's work, and Zhu Youxiao's thinking is very clear.

It can almost be said that every sentence is to the point.

Wei Bao has actually seen clearly that Zhu Youxiao is the emperor who has been "seriously smeared", in fact, Zhu Youxiao is very level, but today Wei Bao feels that Zhu Youxiao has been hacked out of the sky.

Because Zhu Youxiao's level is not ordinarily high, it can be said to be very high, at least Wei Bao feels that Zhu Youxiao is smarter than him, he is a reborn giant, and he looks at this life from the perspective of later generations, naturally everything is very clear, and Zhu Youxiao is the authority.

In later generations, some shameless Confucians liked to slander Zhu Youxiao for being mediocre and cowardly, "illiterate", and "carpenter emperor", and also spread rumors that he had an "indescribable" relationship with the Hakka family.

A sentence has been fulfilled, it is better to offend the warrior than the literati. The pen is as sharp as a knife, and there is no blood in killing.

In history, it is not only the Emperor of the Apocalypse Zhu Youxiao who has been hacked, for those emperors who are disrespectful to scholars, the records of "gentlemen" can be called a model of scolding without dirty words.

The lesson of history is like this, don't offend the literati, especially the kind of "young" literati who can write books, they often devote their lives to creating a despicable and shameless appearance, so that this faint monarch will be pointed out by thousands of people and will be infamous for eternity.

In fact, the cultural level of Tianqi is very good, although Tianqi did not go out of the cabinet to study, but there are ministers Wu Jinzhong and Liu Liangxiang to teach him to read, after leaving the cabinet, it was the great Confucian "Sun Chengzong" and others who taught him to read, saying that Tianqi is "illiterate" is also equivalent to insulting Emperor Sun.

As long as those who have read historical materials can know that Tianqi is not illiterate, and there are many records of Tianqi's reading in "Xizong Shilu".

The edict of the early years of the Apocalypse "Zhongzheng Ying Dynasty" is the work of the Apocalypse himself, and he also wrote a preface to the "Three Dynasties Classics", which has two very interesting sentences: "If you follow this, you will be loyal and good, and if you go against this, you will be a traitor." How can I make a traitor steal the name of loyalty? ”

"Although the first evil is strong, can it be reckless? Although it is obvious, it can be preserved? In case of relying on Zhensheng, if you don't judge it and misuse it, you will think that it will be the first virtue to succeed? ”

Apocalypse's hidden worries about Donglin's counterattack, although unfortunately come true, also shows the wisdom of Apocalypse.

There are many "gentlemen" who say that the apocalypse is "stupid" and "illiterate", obviously for the sake of blackness, but some people take it seriously.

"Party struggle" can be said to be the main theme of the Tianqi Dynasty, and in the propaganda of "scholars", Tianqi is a blinded "melon-eating masses", but in fact, the "eunuch party" should actually be called the "imperial party".

Because the apocalypse is the real trader, Wei Zhongxian is just a target who stands on the bright side to attract firepower, the legendary "white glove".

Apocalypse is not a "Hu Hai" who does not govern and does not see the minister, how can he not know what Wei Zhongxian has done?

Many historical materials can also prove it, among which "the words of Yuan Chonghuan who slapped the face of the Apocalypse" are the most classic: "If the slave does not surrender, he will be captured, and the ministers will not be happy to hear it." ”

According to me (the apocalypse): "Slaves may not fall, they may not be able to surrender, they may not be able to win battles, and they cannot talk lightly about victory." "To do it realistically, it takes time to move, and it is also strange to be in it, and it should be cared for and done well.

The "scholar" did not directly scold the apocalypse, it should be to give Chongzhen face, or it may be because the apocalypse has Wei Zhongxian, the "backer".

Commenting on the life of the Apocalypse, Wei Zhongxian and the Hakka should be regarded as suffering from the disaster of the pond fish, although these two have many minor problems, they will never be so notorious, it can be said that they are all caused by the Apocalypse.

Emperor Zhu Youxiao of the Apocalypse dared to be disrespectful to the "gentlemen", how could the "gentlemen" be polite to you.

Who dares to say that the affairs in the palace are clearer than the eunuch "Liu Ruoyu" who is present now?

Liu Ruoyu is now writing next to him, sitting directly opposite Lord Wei.

Liu Ruoyu once recorded: "The husband is a nurse, as if he lives in the palace, and he regards himself as one of the eight holy mothers, and he is also arrogant and very favored." And there are many people who are surprised, and the road is spread and there are different rumors, and there are still those who are not the ones who are not the courtiers can bear to speak, and they are not enough to believe it. ”

The book of the minister "Liu Ruoyu" was created in the prison, in order to prove his innocence, or to save his life.

It is said that "Liu Ruoyu" was released after writing this book.

If Liu Ruoyu wants to live, he must follow the main theme and discredit Wei Zhongxian, and the Seven Gentlemen are also mentioned in the book.

It can be determined that Liu Ruoyu will not beautify Wei Zhongxian and the Hakka family, and the things he admits should be true.

Therefore, Liu Ruoyu, who recorded the Emperor of the Apocalypse Zhu Youxiao, as well as Wei Zhongxian and Kebaba, should be one of the most important witnesses.

Liu Ruoyu is a bit like a tainted witness for later generations.

It's just that Liu Ruoyu did perjury, he was forced to be helpless, and it was excusable.

And Liu Ruoyu is also a wonderful person, leaving a lot of easter eggs in the book.

The History of the Ming Dynasty was compiled under the "cordial care" of the "Later Jin" emperor and the "meticulous" compilation of dozens of "great Confucians" over a period of "decades".

"Artifacts" all require blood sacrifices, and the spiritual magic weapon of "Houjin" "History of the Ming Dynasty" is of course no exception, but blood is the blood of the "remnants of the Ming Dynasty".

In order to "correct" the history of the "mistakes" of the Han people, the "Hou Jin" took great painstaking measures, and the ban on hundreds of thousands of books was manual work and very costly.

Hakka's original name was Keyinyue, Wanli thirty-three years, 1605, eighteen years old into the palace, Dingxing County Minhou two wife, gave birth to a son, said Guoxing, identity nurse.

Kebaba's good friend Wei Zhongxian, the first year of Taichang, 1620, thirty-three years old, was crowned as a saint lady in winter.

It is not an innovation for the Apocalypse to seal the Ke clan as the Holy Lady, and the title given by the Divine Sect to the nurse is the Holy Lady, and the speculations made by a title seem very ridiculous.

The nurse Jin's Mrs. Dai Sheng gave the crown clothes, promoted her husband to the brocade clothes and Wei Zheng Qianhu, and Wang Jian was the commander. "Mingshenzong Records" recorded in August of the sixth year of Longqing.

Hakka "every day will be bright to the palace, waiting for the first emperor to wake up, from the beginning to the front of the emperor, a night (seven o'clock in the evening) after returning to Xian'an Palace. It can be said that the loyal and diligent Ke clan "goes out of the palace and temporarily returns to the private place, and must be known in advance". There are rules. Hakka carefully preserves the apocalypse fetal hair, scabs, and shaved teeth and cut off nails over the years", which can be described as a great affection.

She should be regarded as "flawed in the details, no loss in the big festival", she likes luxury, loves pomp and circumstance, once she is rich, most people will be a little floating, and returning home is not just a man's patent.

But the other charges are ridiculous, unsubstantiated, and illogical.

"History of the Ming Dynasty" said that the Hakka family was "charming", "vicious" and "open", and the "Tianqi Palace Ci" said that the Hakka family "will be forty when the time is like twenty-eight", but the "Zhizhong Zhi" only says that the Hakka family is "ruthless", "overstepping", "luxurious" and "scheming".

"Records of the Zodiac"; The internal official surnamed Liu is the younger brother of Wei Zhongxian's mother, which means that Wei Zhongxian had a certain understanding of the things in the palace before he entered the palace, and he should have been prepared when he entered the palace.

When you enter the palace, you can be under the name of Sun Xian, the eunuch of the East Factory, who is under the name of the eunuch of the East Factory, and is sent to take care of it by Liu Jixiang, the eunuch of the imperial horse. It also shows that Wei Zhongxian is a "capable" or "connected" person.

How can a person with appearance, scheming, means, and martial arts skills be poor, it makes no sense to say that Wei Zhongxian entered the palace because he was "poor".

It doesn't seem to make sense to say that because he wants to "get ahead", after all, he can't predict the future, the battle in the palace is very fierce, there are so many ministers in the palace, and there are many old qualifications, and it is no less difficult to become a "factory minister" than to become a "general".

Why Wei Zhongxian entered the palace can really be regarded as a mystery, maybe like Liu Ruoyu, he entered the palace because he had a dream.

Wei Zhongxian entered the palace in 1589, worked in the Imperial Horse Prison, and later entered the Jiazi library to serve as a fat poor, Liu Ruoyu said that "Ma Qian" has been following Wei Zhongxian, and also saved his life.

But another chapter writes that Ma Qian is "upright" and "upright".

The obvious contradiction is that there are two possibilities, one; Wei Zhongxian is a person of good character, at least on the surface.

A; This paragraph was made up by Liu Ruoyu in order to discredit Wei Zhongxian. In this paragraph, there is a story of Wei Zhongxian's "private trip to Sichuan", which has obvious loopholes "Wei Zhongxian was hung upside down for three days, and he didn't eat or drink for three days" turned out to be fine, it can only be said that Lao Wei is really very human.

Wei Zhongxian entered the East Palace in 1605 and held a meal for talented people (Queen Wang) and the first emperor (Tianqi), Liu Ruoyu said: Wei Zhongxian is entrusted with the relationship of the Wei Dynasty.

But another chapter reads: "Chao and Xian are both Hakka privates, and have formed an alliance as brothers, and Xian is the longest and the second is Gu Gu, and he is called: Great Wei, Second Wei." ”

obviously has connotation, if Wei Zhongxian has no foundation and no ability, how can the Wei Dynasty worship with him? Does the Wei Dynasty like to turn itself into a "Second Wei"?

There are also two possibilities, one is that Wei Zhongxian has his own connections, not the relationship of the Wei Dynasty.

One is that Wei Zhongxian's ability to deal with people is so strong that he can become friends with anyone.

In 1605, Guangzong was the crown prince, and Tianqi was the eldest grandson of the emperor, everyone knew the gold content of this position, and Wei Zhongxian was able to get this position, which has fully demonstrated his ability and means.

At that time, Wei Zhongxian's character and style should not be bad, at least on the surface.

The Divine Sect and the Light Sect will not allow a "scoundrel" who is "notorious", "full of swearing", "unlearned, unskilled", and "inferior in character" to come into contact with the little "Apocalypse."

The apocalypse was not picked up, and the emperor's eldest grandson was not joking.

Is Wei Zhongxian really "illiterate"?

How can a person with a high IQ and an explosive EQ be illiterate?

How can you not study if you want to climb to a high position?

If you want to manipulate the imperial court, how can you not know how to read?

Moreover, the "Xizong Record" records: When Zhou Zongjian said that Wei Zhongxian "didn't know anything", Wei Zhongxian was still very angry and argued, indicating that he should know words.

There are also records of Wei Zhongxian's reading in the "History of the Ming Dynasty". Of course, his literary level may not be high.

Dealing with the world is a profound science, and flattery also requires a lot of knowledge.

Wei Zhongxian can play with a group of knowledgeable ministers, get along well with a group of knowledgeable people, and make a group of knowledgeable leaders happy, this technique is definitely not simple.
