Chapter 2 Wei Zhongxian appears
Li Jinzhong's neck shrunk and said hesitantly: "Who is Your Majesty talking about taking revenge?" ”
"Whoever makes you revenge! Do you have a problem with your head? Ask such a mentally retarded question? ”
Li Jinzhong didn't understand what it meant to be mentally handicapped, but he could always know that it was not a good word, and said tentatively: "Wang An? He is a eunuch with a pen, how can the slave and maid seek revenge on him? Yang Lian, he is an official of the outer court, and the slaves and maids dare not hate him, let alone seek revenge on him. Thinking of Yang Lian gritting his teeth and scolding him, his body couldn't help but tremble again.
"It's not promising, Wang An and Yang Lian are nothing, are they still comparable to the emperor? With the emperor's support, who do you want to seek revenge with? Hakka said beside him.
"The nurse said it well, Li Jinzhong, you disappointed me too much." Zhu Youxiao couldn't think of such a simple question, and Li Jinzhong couldn't figure it out, so he couldn't help but look down a little bit. In fact, this is what he took for granted, Wang An, as a eunuch with a pen, is still the most trusted eunuch of the first emperor, and can be said to be one of the best people in the inner court, Li Jinzhong is a little eunuch who doesn't even have a job, oh, no, the old eunuch, how dare he go against Wang An, as for Yang Lian is a foreign minister, it is not too easy for the outer court to kill the eunuch, if the general big eunuch offends the civil official, then it is best to wash his neck and wait for death, the civil official deals with the eunuch together, and it is generally endless, so there is a Ming dynasty, Except for a very small number of eunuchs such as Wang Zhen and Liu Jin who are in the red, the general ministers are naturally afraid of the foreign ministers and have no idea of opposing them at all.
Li Jinzhong's face flushed, and he struggled in his heart for a while and said: "The slave and maid are the slaves of His Majesty's house, and His Majesty can beat whoever Jinzhong wants, and the slave and maid are willing to be a dog of His Majesty." ”
"Good, good, good." Zhu Youxiao clapped his hands and smiled: "It's good that Jin Zhong has figured it out, let's sum it up now, how to avenge you." ”
"The slave and maid have no personal vendetta to avenge, but if the traitor disrespects His Majesty, he is the enemy of the slave and the maid, and the slave and the maid will seek revenge on him. Empress Xiaohe once gave the slave maid that the surname can be restored, and the slave maid wants to restore the surname to Wei, be loyal to Your Majesty, do things for Your Majesty, and be Your Majesty's virtuous minister, oh, virtuous eunuch. Ask the emperor for permission. ”
"That's right, then you can change it to Wei Jinzhong."
"Li Xuan's servant has an internal official also named Wei Jinzhong, and the slave asks His Majesty to give him a name."
"Oh, that's it, then Rong Zhen think about it, and the nurse will help think about it together, and give Li Jinzhong a nice and loud name."
After thinking for a while, Zhu Youxiao said: "You are loyal, so this loyal word can be retained, you want to be my virtuous minister, so you can add a virtuous word, your original name is Li Jinzhong, then change your name to Wei Xianzhong, how about it?" ”
The Hakka family immediately objected: "As a slave maid, you must first be loyal to Your Majesty, first loyal and then virtuous, so the slave and maid think that it is better to be called Wei Zhongxian, what does Your Majesty think?" ”
"Okay, this name is good, and the meaning is good, Wei Zhongxian, Wei Zhongxian......?" Zhu Youxiao suddenly reacted in his heart, could it be that this person is Wei Zhongxian, who he had long thought about not using? "Is there anyone named Wei Zhongxian in the palace?" He still has a glimmer of hope, after all, Li Jinzhong has been with him for so long, loyal and steady, he doesn't want him to be the big villain Wei Zhongxian.
"Last time, Your Majesty happened to ask for this name, and the slave maid specifically checked with various departments and bureaus, but I haven't found it, so there should be no one with the same name. Because I don't know what His Majesty is looking for this person, he has never returned. ”
Okay, I understand, this person is the famous nine-thousand-year-old Wei Gonggong of the Ming Dynasty. But this guy is a bad guy, what can I do? Zhu Youxiao thought while circling around the couch, Ke and Wei Zhongxian were puzzled, is a name like this?
Suddenly, Zhu Youxiao patted his head and stopped. scolded himself in his heart for being stupid, Wei Zhongxian in history was a bad person, that was after he gained power, it doesn't mean that the current Wei Zhongxian is also a bad person, with his own presence, if he wants to become bad, stop him, what a simple thing, and think about it for a long time, it's really stupid and has no medicine.
"That's good, you will be Wei Zhongxian in the future. You have to remember the origin of your name, loyal and virtuous, if one day I think you are sorry, then I will take back your name, do you understand? ”
"Slave and maid thank Your Majesty for the name, please Your Majesty watch, Wei Zhongxian will become Your Majesty's most trusted minister, where Your Majesty points to, where the slave and maid will rush to, always obey Your Majesty's words, and always be Your Majesty's loyal slave, if he violates today's words, a thousand knives, will not die well, this oath please nurse as proof."
"Okay, okay, I believe in you. Now my words are not easy to use in the inner court and the outer court, and now they are colluding inside and outside to help each other, you two come to help me come up with an idea. ”
So for the rest of the time, the trio, who had been infamous in history, began to analyze how to break the collusion between the outer court and the inner court.
Wei Zhongxian has been in the palace for decades, and has seen a lot of open and secret battles in the palace, so he first proposed to solve Wang An first, he thought that the emperor directly issued an order to remove Wang An from his position, because the master of ceremonies and eunuchs connected the inside and outside, and the outer court could interfere, of course, it was okay to directly ask someone to kill Wang An, but it was not the best policy after all. Then you can only figure it out slowly, first find a loyal minister, and divide his power step by step, and then it will be easy to deal with.
Speaking of ministers, the only ones I am more familiar with now are Li Chaoqin and Wang Tiqian, these two people who have been able to do things well when they were grandsons, but they are usable.
As for the affairs of the outer court, Wei Zhongxian couldn't help, he didn't know anything about this. Zhu Youxiao saw that Shoufu seemed to be a little different from others, at least not so aggressive, is it something that can be fought for? By the way, he has been too busy these days, Xu Guangqi hasn't seen him for a long time, and it should be okay to ask him about these things.
At this time, the Hakka family suddenly said: "Actually, there is another way to deal with Wang An, Your Majesty will find an opportunity to promote him to an official, and according to the rules, he will definitely resign, and His Majesty will approve him, so that he can be deprived of his position." She hated Wang An for driving her out of the palace, Your Majesty is only so old, how can she do it without caring people to take care of her, she has taken care of Her Majesty for 16 years, from a small person to a powerful young man now, how can she be willing to leave? I still want to see His Majesty's children and grandchildren, this old eunuch is too annoying. This strategy is not above board, but it does work, it can be seen that offend women should be careful, women who offend calves should be more careful, and women who offend calves and calves are powerful must be careful!
Zhu Youxiao thought for a moment and said softly: "This is not a matter of royal decency, and it is easy to be criticized. ”
