Chapter 220: Acting
Wang Zezhi couldn't resist Wei Yunzhong, and he was pulled by him to worship as a brother.
So Wang Zezhi became the younger brother of Wei Yunzhong, who was nearly half a hundred years old.
After touting it, he got a cheap big brother, and Wang Zezhi was a little confused.
After being stunned, he blinked with a strange look in his eyes and looked at Song Tongyin.
As the saying goes, there are many friends and many paths, and it would be better if you could bow to him.
Song Tongyin sat upright, and when he saw Wang Zezhi's appearance, he knew what he was thinking.
"Thanks to the merits of General Wang, this official has also been promoted to the right capital of the imperial history, and this official should pay tribute to the general."
The right capital of the imperial history is the second product, Song Tongyin was originally the governor of Shanxi, the right capital of the imperial history.
It is true that he was also promoted, but the extent of his promotion was not large, which included both the emperor's checks and balances and the manipulation of the ministers of the court.
"Say goodbye to the tiger that day, see you again today, the last general will find that Lord Song's demeanor is still the same, and the last general will salute Lord Song with a cup."
Wang Zezhi had already touted it when he met Song Tongyin in the mouth of the tiger.
Song Tongyin's praise of Wang Zezhi did not reflect much.
Therefore, Wang Zezhi could only chat with him casually.
After Wang Zezhi and Song Tongyin finished drinking, Wang Chengen suddenly stood up.
"Don't pass the day, you have to be trusted." When everyone didn't reflect it, Wang Chengen suddenly drank a cup and punished himself.
Wang Zezhi knew that what he was talking about was helping Wang Zezhi to ask for the right to make arbitrary decisions.
Wang Chengen not only didn't invite him, but also put himself in, and only he knew the suffering.
When Wang Zezhi saw him stand up, he also stood up.
"Thank you!"
Although Wang Zezhi didn't know what Wang Chengen encountered, he knew that Wang Chengen must have fought for him.
This is enough, you must know that Wang Chengen is a celebrity in front of Chongzhen.
If such a man is willing to do things for him, what else could he want?
Wang Zezhi drank all the wine in the cup and bowed to Wang Chengen again.
Wang Chengen didn't dodge, so he accepted it safely.
You must know that in order to help Wang Zezhi speak, he almost lost his life.
Fortunately, Chongzhen was reluctant to kill him, so he just put him under house arrest.
After Wang Zezhi finished giving the salute, he poured him full of wine.
"Oh, yo, enough is enough." Wang Chengen politely waved his empty hand and signaled that Wang Zezhi was okay.
Wang Zezhi poured him full of wine, and then poured it for the other two.
When everyone's cups were full, Wang Chengen spoke.
Wang Chengen did not sit down, but stood and said.
Seeing this, Wang Zezhi didn't dare to sit down directly, so he stood with Wang Chengen.
"Two adults, General Wang, I am just a fourth-grade eunuch, I dare not sit, please sit.
General Wang, you are also a second-class military general now, please sit down, don't stand stupidly. ”
Wang Chengen pressed Wang Zezhi's shoulder and motioned for him to sit down.
Wang Zezhi bowed and sat down.
"What are you talking about, Lord Wang, sit together, sit together."
Song Tongyin didn't know what Wang Chengen meant, so he immediately stretched out his hand to guide him and motioned for him to sit down together.
"Lord Song, this wind can't be helped, I'm just a eunuch, where can I be qualified to sit with all of you, this is absolutely unacceptable."
Wang Chengen waved his hand again and again, refusing to sit down.
Song Tongyin knew that Wang Chengen had something to say, otherwise he wouldn't be like this, so he was no longer reluctant, so he nodded slightly and stood with him.
"Oh, I have a few words from the bottom of my heart, I don't know whether to say them or not." Wang Chengen stood and said.
"Please." Song Tongyin said. I love eBooks
"Oh, these days, in order to exterminate the thieves in the Central Plains, the emperor has eaten sackcloth and shoes and porridge for three meals.
It should have been in the prime of life, but the emperor was so thin that there was only a handful of bones left.
Don't hide it from the three of you, the emperor's private money is gone, and I returned all the silver I got from my greed to the emperor a few years ago to fill the treasury.
Because of this, I was grounded, and I didn't lift the ban until General Wang's good news came.
The ranks are the pillars of the country, the hope of the imperial court.
You might as well think about it, if I don't save Daming, what will happen to me? ”
Wang Chengen said earnestly.
Wang Zezhi listened quietly, and he heard that Wang Chengen was talking to him.
"Lord Wang, your words just now made the last general really painful."
Wang Zezhi got up and responded.
"With all due respect, the ministers of the court and the central government thought that the emperor was too tender and thought that the emperor didn't know anything, but in fact, the emperor understood it in his heart.
Let's take Liaodong as an example, Liaodong claims to have 200,000 border soldiers, but in fact, there are not even half of them.
Officials at all levels eat and take cards, and they are exploited layer by layer, and the emperor knows all the dirty and ugly things they do.
Now that the emperor knows it, why doesn't the emperor squeak?
Because it is the time for the court to employ people, the emperor can't bear to blame them, the emperor hopes that they will reflect on themselves, and the emperor expects them to be loyal to the monarch and serve the country.
Only with such a single heart can we revitalize my Ming Dynasty.
Fortunately, I am fortunate that I still have you.
Come, let's have a drink together. ”
After Wang Chengen finished speaking, Song Tongyin, Wei Yunzhong and Wang Zezhi all stood up and raised their glasses.
"I'm ashamed, I'm a eunuch, I can't get on a horse, I can't pull a bow, and I rely on you to protect the monarch and serve the country.
Today is rare, I will take this opportunity to bow to all of you, hoping that you can serve the country loyally. ”
Wang Chengen took three steps back as he spoke, and began to bow.
"Eh, eh, I can't do it, I can't do it." Song Tongyin's eyes were quick and he immediately helped him up.
"I can't do it, I can't do it." Wei Yunzhong was startled and jumped up directly.
"Lord Wang doesn't have to be like this, it is our duty to be loyal to the king and serve the country, and it is a matter of course."
Wang Zezhi saw that Song Tongyin supported Wang Chengen, and he immediately took the lead in bowing and saluting, and said to Wang Chengen.
Wang Chengen said so many words, all of which were waiting for Wang Zezhi to express his position.
That's because Wang Chengen knew that it would be impossible to recover the Hetao within two years.
When Yuan Chonghuan boasted that he could return to Liao in five years, Xu Yuqing asked Yuan Chonghuan if it was inappropriate to say this.
Yuan Chonghuan said at the time: "The five-year plan to restore Liao is not easy to complete, since Your Majesty has entrusted it to the minister, how dare the minister shirk this difficult task."
However, within five years, the household department transferred military salaries, the Ministry of Industry supplied equipment, the officials hired personnel, and the military department transferred troops and selected generals.
Therefore, I just said this to comfort the emperor with such words, hoping to get strong support from the imperial court. ”
Xu Yuqing asked him worriedly.
"The emperor is wise, how can you deal with it casually, he pursues results according to the deadline, what should you do?"
Yuan Chonghuan was also frightened when he heard this, so he tried his best to get Shang Fang's sword from Chongzhen.
With the sword of Shang Fang, Yuan Chonghuan was still not at ease, so he wrote a book to praise the talents of He Kegang, Zhao Shujiao, Zu Dashou and other three, and said that his plan to restore Liao in five years depends on these three people, if it is not realized after five years, he will personally kill these three people, and he will go to the judicial department to accept the guilt and accept death.
In this way, he has both power and people to take the blame.
Yuan Chonghuan thought that by doing this, he might be able to save his life, but how did he know that his actions had already caused Emperor Chongzhen's dissatisfaction.
Wang Chengen knows all about these things, after all, he is not only in charge of Dongchang, but also hostages Jinyiwei.
Therefore, what Wang Chengen said was for Wang Zezhi.
Because people like Yuan Chonghuan, who have power, money, food, and soldiers, are all trembling and saying that they will recover Liaodong within five years.
The emperor told Wang Zezhi to recover Liaodong within two years, that is, to send him to death, he was afraid that Wang Zezhi would be forced to rebel.
