Zhu Youxiao's sadness, Wei Bao could feel it.

Through this incident, Wei Bao felt that Zhu Youxiao was not heartless, just an ordinary young man, and he was just a young man with little political experience and no good education, and his heart was okay.

Yes, Zhu Youxiao is an ordinary young man, or the kind of young man who has been frightened since he was a child and has no knowledge, such a person suddenly became the emperor and ranked first in the world, if he was replaced by himself, could he do better than him? If you don't know it, you will find a hobby such as carpentry, pass the time, and not think about so many troublesome things.

Wei Bao suddenly sympathized with these royal people, and felt that they were actually quite pitiful.

At least it is much more pitiful than the children of ordinary rich families, and it is not necessarily better than the children of well-off families.

They have lived in fear since they were young, and even if they get the throne, most of them are not things that they have worked hard for, and if they don't work hard, they won't have much sense of accomplishment and satisfaction.

Anyway, from Zhu Youxiao, Wei Bao didn't see a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction at all, only indifference, Zhu Youxiao seemed to be very indifferent to everything.

When Zhu Youxiao returned to the palace, Wei Zhongxian and the Hakka family walked by Wei Bao, and Wei Bao knew with his spare eyes that several people looked at him, but Wei Bao did not look up.

The fight has already been fought, and Wei Bao doesn't want to think about the consequences for the time being.

There is another person who makes Wei Bao pay special attention, that is, the queen Zhang Yan, who has been following the emperor all the time, but has never spoken or reacted at all.

Empress Zhang seems to be just an ornament, dignified and quiet, with a kind of fairy and people separated by a distance.

Wei Bao peeked at Empress Zhang a few times just now, and wanted to see from Empress Zhang's eyes what she thought about beating a group of ministers, but she couldn't see Empress Zhang's thoughts at all, which made Wei Bao a little disappointed.

In all fairness, a Queen Zhang and a Wu Xuexia both belong to the appearance of the little dragon girl type, and sometimes they feel a little bit like they don't eat the fireworks of the world, and Wei Bao himself can't tell which of the two people is more beautiful.

"My mother is going back to the palace, and I'm leaving, you were really bold just now, didn't hurt yourself, right?" Princess Zhu Huiyuan of Le'an quietly came to Wei Bao's side and said goodbye to Wei Bao shortly after Zhu Youxiao left.

The rules in the palace are big, in addition to Wei Bao, there are also several children of Li Chengnei's family, and Zhu Huiyuan has not spoken to the men outside.

Zhu Huiyuan has an extremely deep impression of Wei Bao, and she is also very good, she is the age of the beginning of love, she is in the deep palace all the year round, and her mind is much simpler than the normal girls outside the palace, although she is one year younger than Wei Bao, but she is very similar to the little girl in the fifth or sixth grade of primary school in later generations, she knows a little bit of everything, but she is ignorant of everything.

"Nope." Wei Bao replied.

"That's good, I'm leaving." Zhu Huiyuan smiled.

After all, a girl is a girl, although she is very sad when she thinks of the death of Dongli Niangniang, but the girl's sadness and happiness cannot be hidden, and talking to Wei Bao can make her involuntarily happy.

Wei Bao hummed softly, and was attracted by Zhu Huiyuan, and he almost laughed himself, but fortunately, he was restrained and mature enough to forcibly hold back.

Concubine Li Kang, the mother of Xili, was waiting for Zhu Huiyuan not far away, and when she saw Zhu Huiyuan talking to Wei Bao, she did not block it, she did not mean to urge, as if she was very patient.

Wei Bao glanced at Xi Li, and the two eyes met in the air, and Concubine Li Kang actually turned around, leaving only Wei Bao with a delicate side.

Although Concubine Li Kang is in her thirties, her figure is still exquisite, which can be called the best.

After Xili Niangniang and Princess Le'an Zhu Huiyuan left, the palace people at the scene were almost gone, and only Zhu Youzhen, the king of letters, was left.

Zhu Youzhen fell to the ground alone, kneeling on the futon, still sad.

Wei Bao couldn't help but persuade softly: "His Royal Highness King Xin, please mourn and sit down?" You don't have to kneel all the time. ”

When Zhu Youzhen heard this, he glanced up at Wei Bao.

Zhu Youzhen is the same as Zhu Youxiao, they are both the type of small fresh meat in later generations, fair-skinned and handsome, but a little sickly, and Zhu Youxiao and Zhu Youzhen's appearance has not reached the point where Wei Bao is impeccable, and he is handsome no matter how he does it.

Li Chengnei also stood up and moved his body, and said to Zhu Youzhen: "Your Highness, get up first, otherwise you won't be able to stand up." ”

Zhu Youzhen nodded, but did not get up or speak.

Wei Bao secretly wondered, do Zhu Youxiao and Zhu Youjian both have autism? The personality is quite eccentric.,Don't like to talk? Or are you a little too wary?

One of you is the emperor and the other is the prince, you don't need to live so depressed, right?

Seeing that he couldn't move, Li Chengnei pulled Laweibao and signaled to stop talking.

Zhu Youzhen suddenly said to Wei Bao at this time: "Thank you just now, if it weren't for you, those ministers don't know how long they would have to make trouble in front of Niangniang's spirit." ”

Wei Bao listened to Zhu Youzhen thank himself, and his heart felt like drinking honey, this is the future emperor, Zhu Youzhen is good at himself, although it may not have any effect in the past two or three years, but it is a good thing after all.

"Your Highness doesn't have to say that, it's too much to say that. That's what I'm supposed to do. His Royal Highness and Dong Li Niangniang are like mother and son, and I and Brother Li are sworn brothers, and we are Niangniang's godbrothers. ”

"One family doesn't talk two words." Zhu Youzhen repeated Wei Bao's words thoughtfully, his voice was very low, as if he was afraid of being heard, and after a while, he said, "Yes, we are brothers!" ”

Zhu Youzhen's heart was warm, and Li Chengnei and Wei Bao were also warm in their hearts.

Li Chengnei doesn't have much heart, and he still maintains the simplicity of a peasant, how much does he hope that it is the emperor who can say that we are brothers? However, King Shin was already very happy to be able to say this.

"Your Highness, don't be too sad, my sister doesn't want to see His Highness so sad in the sky." Li Chengnei said.

"Brother, I understand." After Zhu Youzhen finished speaking to Li Chengnei, he lowered his head again and continued to express his sorrows.

Li Chengnei knew Zhu Youzhen's personality and pulled Wei Bao aside, "Xiaobao, you caused a big trouble today!" You beat so many high-ranking officials at once, and offended the people of Gonggong Wei and Donglin, how will you stay in this capital officialdom in the future? ”

Wei Bao didn't care and said: "Big brother, the fight has already been fought, it's nothing, don't worry too much." It's a big deal, I won't be this official! This should not affect you. ”

"I didn't mean that, what are we afraid of repercussions? Now I don't have to worry about food and clothing, if it weren't for you, my family's life would not know what the hardships would become. Now even if I don't go to Jinyiwei on an errand, I can get by. Li Chengnei explained: "Am I not worried about you? You have worked so hard to gain fame, and you are just entering the officialdom, and you are waiting for the time to show your ambitions, and now you have offended so many high-ranking officials, I am afraid that it will not only affect your own career, but also affect your business name in heaven and earth. ”

"Big brother, it's okay, don't worry." Wei Bao didn't know how to comfort Li Chengnei: "Don't think so much, just take care of the mother's funeral these days, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, besides, Your Majesty didn't say anything, who dares to do anything to me?" How can I be considered half of the royal family, right? ”

Li Chengnei sighed, and he didn't know if Wei Bao was still in the mood to joke at this time, or if he really thought so? I secretly thought that it was you, even I, a relative of the true emperor, were useless, have you forgotten how miserable my family was in the beginning? What is the royal family worth? Power is valuable. Wei Zhongxian is not a relative of the emperor, but a eunuch next to the emperor, and the family is not still a prince? Extremely pampered?

Wei Bao continued to accompany Li Chengne's family and Zhu Youzhen, the king of letters, to keep vigil.

Wei Zhongxian had already returned to his mansion outside the palace, and a group of eunuch ministers were discussing how to punish Wei Bao.

The courtiers of the outer court include Cui Chengxiu, Tian Ji, Wu Chunfu, Li Kuilong, and Ni Wenhuan, who are called the "Five Tigers"; Wuchen had Tian Ergeng, Xu Xianchun, Sun Yunhe, Yang Huan, and Cui Yingyuan to kill, known as "Five Biao".

Wei Liangqing Suning Bodong Factory, Fu Yingxing Wei Department Manager, Luan Ruping Zuodu Yushi Zheng Erpin, Rong Keqin Rong Zhengyu Right Du Yushi Zheng Erpin, Wang Ji Criminal Department Shangshu Zheng Erpin, Wang Dewan Zuo Du Yushi Zheng Sipin, Yang Weiyuan Right Yushi Zheng Sipin, Zuodu Yushi Zou Yuanbiao, Dali Temple Qing Zhou Yingqiu, Shuntianfu Yin Shao Fuzhong, Yushi Zheng Qipin Taifu Temple Shaoqing Liang Menghuan, Taifu Temple Shaoqing Cao Qincheng, Fu Zhu, Chen Liangxun, Zhang Yunru in the matter.

Yushi Zhou Zongjian, Xu Yangxian, Zhang Jie, Xu Jinglian, Wen Gaomo, Zhu Qinxiang in the matter.

Forty or fifty people gathered together, these are all Wei officials in the capital officialdom can be counted, many of them were beaten by Wei Bao just now, if you count all the Beijing officialdom figures who have a relationship with the Wei family, at least more than half.

Because many neutral ministers want to catch up with both the Donglin and Wei families.

After everyone's noisy and shouting was over, Wei Zhongxian spoke: "If you want to find Wei Bao's stubble, you have to wait for the Donglin Party to find it first!" What's your head? Speaking of which, Wei Bao still has credit today! You only know that you are shouting and shouting and killing, have you ever thought about stopping Yang Lian's nonsense with the reason that you are not allowed to make trouble in front of Concubine Zhuang's spirit? If you think about it earlier, not only can you not let Yang Lian talk nonsense, but you don't have to be so ugly! ”

At this time, no one spoke, and they all felt that what Jiu Qianshi said was reasonable.

"Don't have anything to say?" Wei Zhongxian sighed and said, "Even people who don't know a few big characters know that Wei Bao is in charge today!" How can you find his stubble? Don't talk about it again. ”

Wei Zhongxian's nephew Wei Liangqing was very unconvinced, but he didn't dare to say anything at this time, and silently played with his jade ring.

Wei Zhongxian saw that everyone had no opinion on his words, and continued: "Yang Lian reminded us today, it's not that the Donglin Party doesn't dare to oppose us, they are waiting for the opportunity, as long as they can sue His Majesty, they will deal with us like mad dogs!" Do you have any countermeasures for this? ”

Everyone didn't speak, and continued to be silent, where was the sharp teeth when they were about to kill Wei Bao just now.

"I can't say a word of seriousness!" Wei Zhongxian said in disgust: "One by one, they can only talk big and brag, and they can only gossip!" Still not convinced Wei Bao, I think, none of you can catch up with Wei Bao, how old are you? The youngest is also forty years away! How old is Wei Bao? I'm only 15 years old this year! ”

"Yang Lian is not easy to deal with, he usually lives in a simple place, and he doesn't accept things, so it's hard to find a place to start." Tian Ergeng replied.

As the knife in Wei Zhongxian's hand, if Wei Liangqing counts the knife handle, he is considered a blade.

Therefore, at this time, he, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, who was specifically responsible for dealing with people, had to speak.

"You don't look a little farther? Relax a bit? Yang Lian can't find a problem, he has children and family, right? Have relatives, right? Can't find fault with everyone? Wei Zhongxian squinted his eyes and said.

Everyone sighed at the same time, and they all seemed to have understood.

Wei Zhongxian sighed and said: "Do you have to teach you how to do everything, you are all talents, and you are all high-ranking officials of the Ming Dynasty!" ”

"Nine thousand years old, I remember something!" Jinyiwei commanded Xu Xianchun and said: "I once sent someone to check the Yang family, Yang Lian has several sons, and a daughter, this daughter is called Yang Xue, and the daughter of Zou Weilian in the Ministry of Langzhong, as well as Xiong Tingbi's daughter often play together, the three of them originally lived in an alley, and then the Xiong family had an accident and sold the property before moving away. ”

"Isn't there a way to do that? Who is Xiong Tingbi? Imperial court prisoners! Wei Zhongxian said: "There is no story in the world, and when there are many people who tell it, the story becomes true." ”

"You can frame Yang Lian for accepting a bribe from Xiong Tingbi!" Choi Chengxiu offered advice.

"Master Cui, what do you mean by framing?" Wei Zhongxian said.

"Yes, nine thousand years old, I lost my word, Yang Lian must have accepted a bribe from Xiong Tingbi, the more dignified he is, the deeper he hides!" Cui Chengxiu hurriedly changed his words.

"Yang Lian is a member of the Metropolitan Procuratorate! This matter, Lord Luan Ruping, Lord Zou Yuanbiao, Lord Zou, several of you adults from the Metropolitan Procuratorate will do it first, and if you need any evidence, let Lord Tian, Lord Xu and several other adults of Jinyiwei cooperate with you! Wei Zhongxian assigned the task.

"Yes! Nine thousand years old. A group of high-ranking eunuch officials surrendered their orders together.

A few days later, Wei Bao was busy with the funeral of Dong Li Niangniang, and he accompanied the Li family throughout the whole process, just like Dong Li Niangniang's relatives.

"It's all gone." Wu Xuexia saw that Wei Bao was going to wear an official uniform to the yamen, and couldn't help but feel distressed: "How many days will you rest at home?" ”

Wei Bao smiled slightly: "You just like to exaggerate, but you haven't slept well for a few days, and the food in the palace is not bad, where is it?" I still have to go to the Yamen, I have just entered the official career, how can I be so slack? ”

"But last time you beat the ministers of the Donglin Party in the palace, as well as the people of Gonggong Wei, these people are all high-ranking officials, they must be holding their breath in their hearts and trying to find a way to deal with you, according to me, you should ask Gonggong Wei for the crime as soon as possible, and spend some money, just let a state official sit down or something, right? It is better to stay away from the capital and the land of right and wrong. Wu Xuexia suggested.

"Father-in-law Wei, I have already sent someone to explain, I believe he will not deal with me for such a thing." Wei Bao said: "As for the matter of release, I am also anxious, but last time I talked to Wei Gonggong, he said that there is no merit, even if it is released, it can only start from the Qipin County Order, it is better not to go out, rest assured, although I beat the ministers of the Donglin Party and the Wei Department in the palace, I am reasonable, as long as I am careful, they can't easily deal with me!" Wei Bao is full of self-confidence.

"Officialdom is sinister, it can't be guarded against, and there are many tricks that you can't think of." Wu Xuexia is still not at ease.

Wang Qiuya and Princess Zhenming also felt that what Wu Xuexia said was reasonable, and asked President Wei to rest in the mansion for a while, anyway, his observation of politics is also a dispensable idle job, and it doesn't matter if he goes or not, it is better to avoid the edge of a group of high-ranking officials who were beaten by him.

"Every inch of time is an inch of gold, I'm obviously fine, how can I play at home all day?" Wei Bao smiled slightly: "You treat me as the eldest brother of Sanfu?" ”

After Wei Bao finished speaking, he asked Wu Xuexia again: "By the way, how is Brother Sanfu doing?" ”

"He is comfortable now, he only goes to the yamen to order a meal in three or five days, and he usually drinks and plays with a group of colleagues from Zhan Shifu, and it seems that he gets along well with his colleagues." Wu Xuexia said.

Wei Bao smiled and nodded: "What I admire most is Brother Sanfu's ability to make friends, but he has no shortage of friends anywhere, if I have one-tenth of Brother Sanfu's ability, I won't be unable to find something to do until now!" ’

"If you don't want to, Zhan Shifu doesn't have anything serious to do, and he is willing to spend money, where will there be a shortage of friends? And the Metropolitan Procuratorate is either impeaching people, or handling all kinds of cases, all of which are things that offend people, everyone is careful, and the yamen on both sides are different, so they can't be mixed up. Wu Xuexia hurriedly explained to Wei Bao.

Wei Bao smiled slightly: "Okay, don't talk about it, I'm going to the yamen." ”

Wu Xuexia, Wang Qiuya and Princess Zhenming knew that it was useless to persuade them, so they only told Wei Bao to be careful, don't be strong, and endure in case of trouble.

Princess Zhenming herself doesn't know what her feelings are for Wei Bao, anyway, she feels more and more natural and accustomed to Wei Bao now, away from the rights and wrongs of North Korea, Princess Zhenming has gradually adapted to everything in Daming.

Especially the Daming Jingshi, compared with Seoul, there doesn't seem to be much difference.

Wu Xuexia, Wang Qiuya and Princess Zhenming usually get along very well, and the three daughters are becoming more and more like sisters.

Wei Bao took the official sedan chair to the yamen of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and secretly thought on the way that he had beaten both the high-ranking officials of the eunuch party and the high-ranking officials of the Donglin Party in the palace, and now others should be able to see his face as a thorough neutral, right? After a while, if there are no high-ranking officials to deal with him, those low-level neutral officials in the Metropolitan Procuratorate should be able to start accepting him.

Wei Bao didn't think about dealing with anyone, he just wanted to integrate into the work as soon as possible, make some political achievements, and do something for the people!

Compared with the eunuch party, Wei Bao wants to deal with the corrupt officials of the Donglin Party more.

Because Wei Bao knows very well that one of the eunuchs is counted as one, and they are basically corrupt officials, otherwise what would the old boy do with Wei Zhongxian?

To take refuge in Wei Zhongxian, you first have to use silver to open the way, where did the silver come from? It's not corruption and bribery!

If you take the money and go out, don't you earn it twice as much?

Therefore, it is not difficult at all to investigate and deal with corrupt officials in the eunuch party.

But now it is Wei Zhongxian's world, Wei Zhongxian is in power, it is easy to investigate and punish, it is difficult to investigate, he doesn't have so much authority, and it is impossible to be Bao Qingtian!

In this way, if it is the other way around, the corrupt officials of the Donglin Party on the other side will have a much greater sense of achievement, and they can also please Wei Zhongxian.

Wei Bao doesn't believe that the Donglin Party is a good thing? The Ming Dynasty was all brought down by this group of civilians! Ninety percent of these people are not a good thing!

Of course, a leading brother like Yang Lian may not have many bad deeds, and even if he does, he is very deep hidden and difficult to catch, so what about the officials below? Being able to investigate and deal with a few corrupt officials of the Donglin Party with five or six grades can also be regarded as a great achievement, right?

Wei Bao thought about his promotion method all the way, and soon arrived at the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

When the old grandson of the gate official of the Metropolitan Procuratorate saw Wei Bao coming, he nodded vaguely and smiled, which was regarded as a greeting.

But he didn't dare to be as enthusiastic as he was some time ago.

Wei Bao knew that he had beaten the senior officials of the Donglin Party and the senior officials of the Eunuch Party, and it may have spread throughout the Ming Dynasty at this time! I can also understand the distress of people who keep my distance, so I went straight into the Metropolitan Procuratorate and didn't say anything to a few guards.

Entering the yamen, Wei Bao found that not only the doormen, but also the people inside.

Originally, some time ago, although no one had a deep conversation with him, he was familiar, and when a group of officials saw him, many of them would nod their heads or something.

But now it's good, when I saw him coming to the Yamen, one by one it was like seeing a ghost, and they took a detour from a distance.

Wei Bao couldn't help sweating, and he didn't know if they were afraid of getting into trouble with themselves, or if they were afraid of beating them, are you all so scared, Lao Tzu is not Zhong Kui.

Get.

Wei Bao felt that the previous abacus was wrong, and it was better to be low-key.

Beating the ministers of the Donglin Party and the ministers of the Eunuch Party does not seem to have changed the impression of those really neutral ministers on themselves.

Wei Bao even felt that maybe there was no such thing as a completely neutral person, and a neutral person would only be more timid, where would he dare to be a thorn like himself?

Wei Bao estimated that there were no neutral officials in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, either the eunuch party or the Donglin party.

No one paid attention to himself, not even a few Jinke Jinshi who were transferred from the Hanlin Academy to watch the government.

Wei Bao sat helplessly on the promenade of the large courtyard for half a morning.

After thinking about it, this is not the way, Wei Bao decided to go to Li Limin, the capital of the experience, to ask for something to do!

"Master Li, I've been here for so many days, and I really can't find anyone to take me, what should I do, I can't keep doing this, right? It is said to be a view of politics, but there is really nothing to be seen. Wei Bao got straight to the point.

Li Limin is a good man, an honest man, in fact, he is basically a neutral, if it is a bit of a tendency, that is, whoever is in power, he is inclined to whom, and now he is naturally a little inclined to the eunuch party.
