Lord Gao Di was a little scared and wanted to stay out of it.

I didn't want to discuss anything when I came to find a few big eunuchs, but I mainly wanted to see the attitude of a few big eunuchs.

Gao Di knew very well that at such a critical moment, he could best see what was going on between several big eunuchs, as well as Wei Zhongxian and Wei Bao behind them.

Gao Di felt that Wei Bao and Wei Zhongxian had a great relationship, but he was not sure what kind of relationship it had reached, whether it was an alliance, a father-son relationship, a hardcore relationship!

Like Sun Chengzong, in fact, Gao Di also belongs to a high-ranking official who does not clearly stand in line, and belongs to a high-ranking official of the neutral faction.

There are not many neutral high-ranking officials like Gao Di in Daming.

The reason why Wei Zhongxian strongly recommended Gao Di to the top position was also to minimize the influence of ousting Sun Chengzong from power!

"Master Gao, what do you think about this?" Liu Chao suddenly asked Gao Di.

Gao Di smiled indifferently: "Although I am a Jiliao Jingluo, everyone knows that I am a decoration, and now Inspector Sun is still there, there is Inspector Sun, there is Master Wei personally appointed by His Majesty as the supervisor of the army, and there are several grand dukes in charge of the army who are the master of ceremonies, where is there anything to do with me." I think Master Wei did the right thing. ”

Liu Chao listened to Gao Di's not salty and indifferent statement, and glanced at each other with Hu Liangfu and Ji Yong.

Being able to be the top person among the eunuchs is not at all less difficult than being the top of the high-ranking officials in the officialdom, or even more difficult!

The court is the most intriguing place in the world.

"Lord Gao, I'm afraid it's useless for you to just talk about us here, right? I estimate that now the generals of Jiliao and Sun Chengzong will definitely play the matter of Ma Shilong to the imperial court, saying how Lord Wei abused his power and bullied the generals of the border army, we can't sit idly by, right? We must also report this matter to the celebrant, and you will report it to Your Majesty. Ji Yongdao.

Gao was stunned, he didn't expect that a few big eunuchs would force him to play the script.

Gao Di naturally didn't want to get involved in this incident, but others were in Shanhaiguan, so if they didn't know, they would definitely not be able to say it, and the emperor would like to see what he said.

If he doesn't show it at all, the emperor will think that he is incompetent and useless.

"This recital is not easy to write, I didn't see what happened with my own eyes at the time, if I was too partial to Lord Wei and blindly said that Ma Shilong insulted Lord Wei, how would I get along with the generals of Jiliao in the future?" Gao Di said: "Otherwise, I will write two strokes casually, saying that Ma Shilong is indeed a little arrogant, Lord Wei had to reprimand Ma Shilong in order to be serious about the discipline of the imperial court, but he was not too angry, this matter, it is better to turn a big thing into a small thing, and a small thing to turn it into a wonder." ”

Hu Liangfu smiled, "Big things are small, small things are small?" Tall, I'm afraid this can't be, right? Let's come this time, one is to eliminate the redundant personnel in Jiliao and Liaodong, and the other is to squeeze out Sun Chengzong, this is a good opportunity, you are so centered and muddy, I am afraid that you will not be able to benefit both sides in the end! ”

Gaudi frowned and said nothing.

"Gonggong Hu's words are extreme, Lord Gao, this is a big deal, you can't pretend to be deaf and dumb, you must stand with Master Wei! Lord Wei is so brave and takes the lead in making a move, isn't it just for you and a few of us? Let's not talk about going head-to-head with them, but Master Wei has already made the first step, so we can't even help them, right? Liu Chao said.

"Then according to Gonggong Liu's meaning, how to write this transcript of Xiaguan?" Gao Di is also too treacherous, in order to lower his profile, the dignified first-class official of the imperial court actually called the lower official in front of the eunuchs.

Liu Chao didn't dare to say a word, and then said: "Lord Gao said that Ma Shilong was arrogant and insulted Lord Wei, and Lord Wei did exactly the right thing in order to strictly enforce the discipline of the court and maintain His Majesty's authority!" and wrote to the court, deposing Ma Shilong from all official positions, and never hiring! ”

"That's too much, isn't it?" When Gao Di heard this, he couldn't help but be shocked, "Ma Shilong is also a dignified chief military officer, a member of the army and horses who commands a party, if you do this, I'm afraid that his soldiers and horses will give birth to a big mess, right?" ”

"What kind of mess can be born? Master Wei is not afraid, what are we afraid of? This is Liaoxi, not to mention that the Wei family is already one of the largest households in Liaoxi, the Wei family is about to marry the Wu family, and the two of them together are not too much to say that they account for most of Liaoxi, and they are afraid that the Jiliao soldiers and horses in Shanhaiguan will not rebel? If you dare to rebel here, you will be able to cut off their food and grass the next day, so that they will not be able to attack themselves. Liu Chao said disapprerovingly.

Gao Di naturally knew how strong the Wei family and the Wu family were together, but he still didn't want to get involved in the dispute between Wei Bao and the Ji Liao family, so he was indecisive and didn't say anything.

Liu Chao sneered, "That's it, since Master Gao is so embarrassed, then let's be busy with ourselves." We'll send someone to send a secret report to the Jingshi now! Don't blame us for not getting angry with you, my lord! ”

Lord Gao Di's forehead was sweating, and this cold night in late autumn made him feel hot and dry.

"Yes, don't dare, thank you a few grand dukes." Gaudí spoke a few words incoherently, and then withdrew, leaving the residence of several great eunuchs.

Since I don't want to get involved, I just don't bother to even bother with the middle and muddy recitals I just said.

Several big eunuchs vigorously praised Wei Bao, added fuel to the matter, and desperately praised Wei Bao for defending His Majesty, maintaining the Ming Dynasty, and maintaining the majesty of the nine thousand years old, so he turned his face with Sun Chengzong and Ji Liaobing, and then asked Dongchang's soldiers to send the secret report to the capital overnight.

Why would a few big eunuchs praise Wei Bao so much.

Originally, as Wei Bao's deputy supervisor, they were not happy that a person suddenly appeared on their heads, and they were not eunuchs.

But now they live in the Maritime Chamber of Commerce Pavilion of the Heaven and Earth Society, and their food, accommodation, and use are more luxurious than the palace, Wei Bao cares about them very thoughtfully, and he also gave each person five thousand taels of silver.

This is already very rich, in the past, they went to fight the autumn wind outside the gate, and it was very good to be able to go back two or three thousand taels of silver at a time, which was so smooth like this time, and according to Wei Bao's generous and wealthy posture, several big eunuchs estimated that this was just the beginning, and this trip was estimated to be able to get benefits.

This is one of them.

The second is because Wei Bao is the main prison army, and they and Wei Bao are actually seen together.

Although the supervising army in the past was cross-sectional, the generals below were actually not afraid of the supervising army, and they gave them a lot of faces.

Even if you don't dare to confront your face, Yang Feng Yin is violated, and things that are not well greeted happen from time to time.

They are only supervising the army, not Wei Zhongxian, and many generals will think that as long as they have a good relationship with Wei Zhongxian, they will often snub them.

Therefore, these big eunuchs thought that Wei Bao's way of driving the power of the prison army this time was very shameful for them, the prison commanders.

I believe that in the future, when they themselves serve as the prison guards alone, they will definitely not be despised as before, and they will be despised as before.

This incident invisibly brought the relationship between Wei Bao and the eunuch party closer, and it was a big step closer.

The eunuch party hopes that someone will work against the military, and the eunuch party is a good hand against the Donglin party, and it has always lacked courage and effective means against the military!

Whichever civilian can control the military, which civilian can be reused.

"Big brother, what do you think about this matter? Are we going to do something? Wu Xiang also found Zu Dashou to discuss.

The top-level meeting of the integration of the Jiliao system and the Liaodong system was about to be held, so the heads, including Mao Wenlong, who rarely came to discuss the matter, went to Shanhaiguan in person.

"Don't do anything, what's the matter with you? Don't think that Wei Bao is your son-in-law, he is a member of your Wu family, now Wei Bao is bigger than your brand, and it is the best policy for you to be careful of being involved by him. Zu Dashou's attitude was very resolute, "And you are a big and small official in Liaoxi, which green onion is counted, no one will watch your last playbook, just let the generals of Jiliao and Wei Bao work against each other, let's watch the play." ”

Wu Xiang frowned, disgusted that Zu Dashou spoke badly, but Wu Xiang really didn't plan to play the book, he would be Wei Bao's father-in-law soon, he helped Wei Bao speak, it was really useless, and it was easy to provoke a handle.

"Big brother, Wei Bao has a bad relationship with Ji Liao's generals, but it's actually quite beneficial to our Liaoxi and Liaodong, right? Wei Bao himself is also from Liaoxi, and he is also the son-in-law of our Wu family, which is also equivalent to the son-in-law of your eldest brother. Wu Xiang said.

"Hehe, I've never seen it that way! That Wei Bao thief is very, his power has grown, and he has a fart benefit to our Liaoxi and Liaodong, but he just keeps taking away our wealth! Zu Dashou said: "Okay, don't mention this matter, I estimate that after the discussion, not only will the generals of Jiliao not go to the wedding of Xuexia and Wei Bao, I am afraid that even Liaodong will not have a few generals to participate, Wei Bao has offended too many people!" Too many interests of Liaodong have been moved! ”

"Big brother, you have to help say good things, after all, our two families are so close, if even the generals of Liaodong don't come at that time, then Xuexia's wedding will be too unseemly." Wu Xiang said with a bitter face.

"You still want to be decent? Hehe. Zu Dashou sneered: "The only daughter of the dignified Wu family, the pearl in her palm, why should she be a villager as a child?" This is not a decent thing in the first place, and you have lost my face by the way! ”

Wu Xiang saw that Zu Dashou was dissatisfied, and said in a low voice: "Big brother, Wei Bao is no longer what it used to be, and I was not very happy about this at the beginning, but Wei Bao's wife is the daughter of the dignified grandfather, or the only daughter of the British princess, and she is more noble than the royal princess, so we don't have to worry so much." ’

"Don't care so much? Hehe, you are really good at talking, you are really a good father-in-law! Zu Dashou stood up angrily and said, "What's wrong with the British duke?" Can his tattered barracks, the tens of thousands of people in the Beijing camp pull out to see? And what does the British government have to do with our Liaoxi? You remember, only the wealth in our hands, the soldiers and horses, and the common people are our greatest dependence! Now that the wealth has been divided by Wei Bao, and everyone has been pulled away by Wei Bao, Wei Bao will come to dismiss our soldiers and horses, and there is no more to rely on, who will pay attention to us at that time? You put all the treasures on Wei Bao, beware that Wei Bao will turn his face and deny people one day, and stop you, the father-in-law, at the gate of the city! ”

Wu Xiang was taken aback, but he still knew that Zu Dashou was angry, and Wu Xiang didn't believe that Wei Bao would treat him like that in the future.

Seeing that the words were not speculative, Wu Xiang could only suppress the displeasure in his heart, said a few words casually to Zu Dashou, and left.

Zu Dashou sent Wu Xiang away, and Zu Kefa came in, "Dad, what else do you have to say to him?" His Wu family thought that he had Wei Bao's son-in-law, and now he still puts our ancestral family in his eyes? ”

"That's not what you say, relatives still have to do it!" Zu Dashou glared at Zu Kefa, disgusted that Zu Kefa was sowing discord again, "In front of the big right and wrong, Wu Xiang still has a clear idea!" That's because Wei Bao didn't do much to the interests of Liaoxi, if he cut off his Wu Xiang's flesh, he Wu Xiang wouldn't help Wei Bao so much. ”

"Dad, now is a great opportunity to build a good relationship with Jiliao's people, right? Let's invite more generals from Liaodong, and let's write a script together to speak for Ma Shilong and impeach Wei Bao together, right? Zu Kefa hated Wei Bao to death, and admonished.

"Confused, at such a time, don't get involved in this kind of thing!" Zu Dashou thought for a while and said, "Are you really so easy to impeach Wei Bao?" You didn't see that several of the great eunuchs in charge of the army can only serve Wei Bao as deputy supervisors now, which shows how much the emperor and Wei Zhongxian trust Wei Bao! You must know that although the prison army does not have clear control, in fact, it is no less influential than Ji Liao's supervisor! It's getting late, go to sleep! ”

was reprimanded by Zu Dashou, Zu Kefa didn't dare to say any more, and served his father to rest.

Zu Kefa is Zu Dashou's son, although he is nominally an adopted son, but he is deeply loved by Zu Dashou.

As for the relationship between the ancestors, it will be difficult for Wei Bao to have a good relationship with the ancestral family in the future.

However, Wei Bao didn't think about who to have a good relationship with.

Wei Bao only believes in profit!

Something so big happened, this night, Wei Bao was still able to sleep peacefully with Zhang Meiyuan in his arms, and he slept very well.

Zhang Meiyuan is also a girl with a big heart, although she heard that something happened.

But Wei Bao didn't consult her, so she didn't ask.

If Wu Xuexia is replaced, I will definitely have to discuss with Wei Bao for a while tonight.

Wei Bao didn't think much about the daytime, but he regretted it slightly.

In fact, Wei Bao still respects Sun Chengzong.

As a literati in the late Ming Dynasty, Wei Bao felt that Sun Chengzong had a tolerance and trust in military generals that other literati did not have.

Sun Chengzong has the ability to do internal affairs that the Donglin people do not have, and he does not have excessive partisan views.

Although there is no Xiong Yanbi's strategy and tactics and Lu Xiangsheng's martial arts courage, the hard work of Liaodong for several years and the heroism of the first battle of Gaoyang are worthy of the evaluation of his famous ministers and national heroes in the late Ming Dynasty.

If Emperor Wanli had died a few years later and Xiong Yanbi had pacified Houjin, he might not have become a feudal official so quickly, and would only leave the name of the emperor in obscurity.
