"Wen Tiren is a confidential minister, and he has been in this court for many years, and he is familiar with the Taoism of this officialdom, he is more calm, but if he is too calm, it will not be good, Li Shichao, you and Wen Tiren go to Jiangnan for a tour, he is the main one, and you are the auxiliary, but sometimes, you have the right to decide, I will give you a secret decree, you can mobilize the garrisons of the provinces south of the Yangtze River, those officials in Nanjing are more difficult to deal with than those in Beijing, you can be confident. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" Zhu Youzhen looked at Li Shichao.

Of course, Li Shichao knew Zhu Youzhen's intentions, and although he was apprehensive, he still replied with confidence: "Weichen is willing to share the emperor's worries." ”

"Well, you go down, set off the day after tomorrow, I will let Wang Chengen see me off, you go back and rest for a day, pack up your clothes."

"Yes." After saying that, the two of them retreated.

The sun was setting, and the night enveloped the city.

A carriage stopped at the door of Wen Tiren's mansion, Wang Chengen got out of the carriage, and before Wang Chengen could speak, he saw the family guarding the door hurriedly running into the mansion to report.

When Wen Tiren returned to the palace, he explained that the distinguished guests in the palace were the big red princes and princes around the emperor, and if he saw them, he would report them immediately.

When Wang Chengen walked a few steps to the gate of the Wen Mansion, another family member arched his hand and said, "Dare to ask if it is the prince in the palace?" ”

Wang Chengen was surprised and nodded.

The family hurriedly made a gesture of invitation and said, "Lord Wen has a word, if the prince comes, please enter the mansion immediately." ”

Wang Chengen followed the family into the door of the house, and before he walked a few steps, he saw Wen Tiren trotting over.

When he arrived at Wang Chengen's side, he was already out of breath.

"The prince is here, and my Wen Mansion is shining. Please. Wen Tiren's voice has changed a little, and he must be tired.

"Lord Wen doesn't have to be so polite, the miscellaneous family came here today, there is something to get rid of Lord Wen."

"How dare you, how dare you, it is the honor of the lower officials to do things for the prince."

The two entered the lobby as they spoke, Wen Tiren greeted Wang Chengen to the upper seat, Wang Chengen kept refusing, and sat on the side, this Wen Tiren will come to the house, and he will not sit on the main seat, but will do it below Wang Chengen.

"Tea."

A maid came in with two cups of tea, Wang Chengen took a sip of tea and said: "Although the miscellaneous family is not a literati and doesn't like this tea art, they still have to praise the tea in the Wen Mansion, and it really has a touching fragrance." ”

"Wang Gonggong Miao Zan, this is a friend of Xia Guan's gift to Xia Guan, if Wang Gong likes it, bring some when you enter the palace." Wen Tiren said gently.

Wang Chengen looked around the lobby, and Wen Tiren understood Wang Chengen's intentions, and said: "Don't worry, the princess is absolutely safe in the lower officials' mansions, and I don't know what the princess told the lower officials to do." It's good to explain, the lower officials will definitely not disappoint the prince. ”

Now the government of the Ming Dynasty is not as good as before, the eunuch party was wiped out after the death of Wei Zhongxian, the Donglin Party is half dead, and it is difficult for the national and military to intervene, even if Zhou Yanru is a confidential minister in the confidential department, it is difficult to speak, and now the most powerful is Luo Yangxing, Li Shuo's gang, of course, Wen Tiren understands that in the Ming Dynasty, the most influential is Wang Chengen in front of him, although Wang Chengen is afraid of the emperor and rarely moves around with foreign officials, but who doesn't want power, not to mention that Wang Chengen is a eunuch, Since ancient times, eunuchs' thirst for power is much greater than ordinary people, today Wang Chengen stopped a secret report from Jinyiwei, and let himself know that the intention of wooing is too obvious, there is no fear of this Wen Tiren, but he is very happy, if you want to go further, this Wang Chengen's help is indispensable, when the time comes, he and Wang Chengen are one inside, one outside, what Luo Yang, Li Shuo, are all passing by and not worried.

"Since Master Wen asked, then the miscellaneous family will say it." Wang Chengen stared at Wen Tiren with his eyes and said word by word.

"But it doesn't hurt to say it."

"The miscellaneous family wants to share the worries of the emperor, and one day the emperor asked the miscellaneous family, Wang Chengen, what should I do if the new policies in the provinces south of the Yangtze River are delayed? The miscellaneous family didn't know how to do it, at this time, Luo Yangxing that guy, rushed in front of the miscellaneous family and said, saying that the application of the heavy code, the emperor, and praised Luo Yangxing, but the miscellaneous family couldn't see it, the emperor asked again, then who is going to use this heavy code, Luo Yangxing took the initiative to ask for the order, saying that he was willing to go to the provinces south of the Yangtze River to share worries for the emperor, and the miscellaneous family was very uncomfortable, so he said to the emperor, even if he used the heavy code, this Luo Yangxing is the commander of the Jinyi Guard, if the heavy code is used, then the whole world will think that the emperor is wrong, the emperor is a tyrant, and he is not suitable to go, I recommend you, Lord Wen. Wang Chengen also knew Wen Tiren's thoughts in his heart, so he followed Wen Tiren's train of thought and said, sure enough, Wen Tiren was a little nervous when he heard this, and he didn't know if the emperor would hand over his errands to himself, so he hurriedly asked: "What did the emperor say?" ”

"Hey, speaking of which, it's Luo Yangxing's villain again. He said to the emperor You are a virtuous minister, a scholar, you can't do this kind of thing, not to mention a little pedantic, no different from Zhou Yanru's gang, it's better for him to go to Jiangnan. ”

"This Luo Yang Xing dares to slander me so much in front of the king, and he is not a son of man, but, Wang Gonggong, this Jiangnan, the lower officials can go, and the re-pawn is much better than that Wufu Luo Yang." After listening to Wang Chengen's words, this Wen Tiren was out of breath, and even scolded, no wonder the emperor alienated himself recently, and even reprimanded him, it turned out that Luo Yangxing said bad things about himself behind his back, if he didn't act, it would be difficult for him to progress in the future, and even whether he could keep his official position at this time was unpredictable, Wen Tiren under the anger didn't think about whether Wang Chengen would lie to himself, but preconceived hatred of Luo Yangxing.

Zhu Youzhen thinks that the best candidate to go to Nanjing for a tour is Wen Tiren, as Wang Chengen said just now, Wen Tiren is a civil official, and cherishes his reputation, and has always thought that the official name is good, if Luo Yangxing or Li Shichao is in prison there, Zhu Youzhen's reputation is not good, and he can't convince the public, because the people think that these two people are originally Jinyi guards who arrest people and beat them into tricks, and they are not popular with the people, but if Wen Tiren arrests people and supervises the implementation of the new policy, then the people will think that those officials and gentry are disrespectful. The imperial court had no choice but to make such a decision, of course, if this was done, Wen Tiren would lose his reputation among the scholars, but at this time, Wen Tiren had already been angered by Wang Chengen's words, and only thought about how to regain the emperor's appreciation, and did not consider anything else.

The prestige of the Shi clan and the fame of the Donglin Party are not high, but what is the current Donglin Party like, only one Zhou Yanru is left to support him, and he cannot enter the decision-making level of the Ming Dynasty.
