"What the emperor said made Wechen extremely frightened, and being able to assist the emperor is a blessing that Wechen has cultivated for several lifetimes, how dare he make the emperor admire?" After Zhu Youzhen's beating just now, Li Shuo also knew some measure, and said humbly. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Zhu Youzhen nodded and said, "Aiqing has a smooth journey, and I am waiting for your good news in Beijing." ”

"Weichen will not disappoint the emperor."

After the two talked a little more, Zhu Youzhen asked Li Shuo to retreat, does Zhu Youzhen believe that Li Shuo can govern Shaanxi well? He doesn't believe that all great talents must go through great ups and downs, Shaanxi is the fuse of the fall of the Ming Dynasty, even if Li Shuo has the ability to shock, in the face of that kind of natural and man-made disasters, he is also powerless to face, Zhu Youzhen only hopes that Li Shuo can get experience from it, if he can control the disaster in Shaanxi, it is the best, if not, Zhu Youzhen decided to remove Li Shuo's position, let him return to Beijing, refrigerate for two years, and finally come out to take up important positions, if at that time he has already held the power of the whole country in his hands, let him enter the cabinet, There is no such thing as a no-brainer.

After Li Shuo went down, Zhu Youzhen's face darkened, and he said to Wang Chengen in a cold voice: "Summoning Luo Yang into the palace." ”

Wang Chengen knew in his heart that it was not good, it seemed that the emperor was a little dissatisfied with Luo Yangxing, and did not dare to delay, after leaving the Yangxin Palace, he found Luo Yangxing in the palace, and Luo Yangxing was also the commander of the forbidden army, so he was in the big interior in the morning.

After Wang Chengen found Luo Yangxing, he said: "Commander Luo, the emperor has summoned you." ”

After Luo Yangxing asked the dozen or so forbidden soldiers who followed him to retreat, he looked at the surroundings and said softly: "What important things does the emperor want to ask the lower officials?" I also hope that the prince will mention one or two. ”

Wang Chengen's face was also a little cautious, he looked around, and whispered: "After the emperor asked Li Shuo to step down, he was very angry, and asked me to summon you, come to me, what did you do to anger the emperor." ”

After Wang Chengen entered the Great Interior, he turned into the most favored eunuch of the Ming Dynasty by the emperor, Luo Yangxing in order to consolidate his hard-won power, quickly got closer to Wang Chengen, and the two formed a small alliance, which is the law that the Ming Dynasty does not become, if the ministers of the previous dynasty want to firmly grasp the power, they must have a good relationship with the eunuchs of the inner court, even if it is Zhang Juzheng in the past, and the internal supervisor Feng Bao has a close relationship.

"There is nothing that angers the emperor, these days, the lower officials have been doing their business, raiding their homes and arresting people, but they don't dare to delay for half a minute."

Wang Chengen is not a fool, he raided his house and arrested people, and said, "How much did you and your men eat?" ”

Luo Yangxing hurriedly shook his head and said: "How dare you be corrupt when the lower official is in this position, the lower official has not eaten, and as for the people below, the lower official does not know." ”

Wang Chengen was a little annoyed, and pointed at Luo Yangxing with his finger and said: "Commander Luo, the miscellaneous family treats you as their own, but you don't tell the truth to the miscellaneous family, just because I see the wrong person, we will never contact each other in private in the future." ”

"Father-in-law, father-in-law, don't be angry, it's the official's fault, the lower official will tell you the truth, I'll take it. But it's all given by subordinates, you also know that I just served as the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and it is necessary to win the hearts of the people, otherwise how can I do a good job for the emperor in the future. ”

"Tell me how much you took."

Luo Yangxing leaned into Wang Chengen's ear and whispered, "Four hundred thousand taels of silver." ”

After Wang Chengen heard the numbers, he was furious and said, "You, you are so bold, you dare to reach out and take so much silver." ”

Luo Yangxing was terrified and said, "Princess, you have to help me say one more good word in front of the emperor." ”

Wang Chengen turned his back and said embarrassedly: "Commander Luo, the miscellaneous family is also embarrassed, what kind of temperament does the emperor have, you must also know that Liu Tong was killed and Cui Chengxiu fell, these things were all promoted by the emperor, since ancient times, he is the emperor, if I speak for you, I am afraid that I will not escape death." ”

After listening to Wang Chengen's words, Luo Yangxing became even more apprehensive.

"But you don't have to be so scared now, the emperor is on the occasion of employing people, you will not be in a big problem, remember, don't do stupid things in the future." Wang Chengen understands Zhu Youzhen's distress better than Luo Yangxing, and there are very few people available to him, so even if he can't get used to Luo Yangxing, he will let him continue to work until someone can replace Luo Yangxing.

Luo Yangxing nodded, took out a piece of jade from his arms and handed it to Wang Chengen and said: "Wang Gonggong, Xia Guan will never dare to forget the friendship of Wang Gonggong in this life, this jade is worth a thousand gold, it is rare in the world, and it is given to Wang Gonggong today." ”

Wang Chengen hesitated for a moment, then took it and said: "You go to the Heart Cultivation Hall with the miscellaneous family, don't you dare to let the emperor wait for a long time, and when you meet the emperor, no matter what the emperor says about the dirty silver, you don't want to admit that you have taken a penny." ”

Luo Yangxing nodded to show that he understood, and after speaking, the two went to the Heart Cultivation Hall together.

After arriving at the Yangxin Palace, when he saw Zhu Youzhen, Luo Yangxing hurriedly knelt down and saluted.

Zhu Youzhen was holding the chapter in the imperial review, and when he heard Luo Yangxing's voice, he didn't even raise his head, and said softly: "Aiqing, let's be flat." ”

After Luo Yangxing stood up, he was still apprehensive in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face.

"The emperor summoned Weichen, I don't know what to order."

"Today you are also in the court, knowing my will, you must draw a first-class good hand from the Jinyi Guard to protect Li Shuo, you must not let those wine bags and rice bags follow Li Shuo to Shaanxi, if he has any mistakes, I will ask you." Zhu Youzhen said softly, and his eyes kept looking at the music in his hand, and he couldn't see his joy or anger.

"Although the emperor can rest assured, Governor Li is a pillar of the country, and Weichen does not dare to be careless, and he will definitely take out a first-class Lian family to protect Governor Li."

"That's good, by the way, Luo Yangxing, you said that a military secretary is rich enough to rival the country, so how much wealth does the commander of the Jinyi Guard have?" When Zhu Youzhen said this, his head was raised, and his deep eyes stared at Luo Yangxing.

Luo Yangxing saw Zhu Youzhen looking at him with such eyes, and said with fear in his heart: "Hey, tell the emperor, minister, minister doesn't know." Luo Yangxing was nervous in his heart, and his speech was a little slurred.

"Shaanxi is bitterly cold, Li Shuo is here, I am very uneasy, I want to prepare a silver tael for him, this silver tael you out, from the dirty silver you greedy Cui Chengxiu, no matter how many silver taels you take, you have to give 300,000 taels of silver to Li Shuo." Zhu Youzhen said in a tone of no questioning.

Luo Yangxing looked at Wang Chengen who was standing next to Zhu Youzhen, he had just said to Wang Chengen that he was greedy for 400,000 taels of silver, and he was urged by the emperor to ask for 300,000 taels after he entered the Palace of Heart Cultivation, but after Wang Chengen entered the Palace of Heart Cultivation, he never spoke to the emperor, could it be that the emperor's ears and eyes heard it, and cold sweat broke out on his head, Cui Chengxiu couldn't go a few rounds in the hands of the emperor, let alone himself.

Suddenly Luo Yangxing remembered what Wang Chengen said to himself, and let himself not admit it, thinking of this, Luo Yangxing knelt down, cried bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, Cui Chengxiu's case is a big case, the dirty silver in their hands, how dare Wei Chen start, if the emperor wants Wei Chen to contribute to the country, the minister can sell the house and land, but he can't take out 300,000 taels of silver." ”

Zhu Youzhen stood up suddenly, walked to Luo Yangxing's side, and said angrily: "Luo Yangxing, your affairs, I am clear, how many silver taels you took, you yourself know, I hate corrupt officials and corrupt officials the most, you are supported by me, if I really let me be disappointed in you, it is indispensable to raid your house and destroy your door, you have to weigh whether the official position and life are important, or the yellow and white things in your hands are important." ”

Wang Chengen's heart was also very shocked, he thought about it in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Lord Luo, you are the emperor's person, the emperor is so good to you, even if you are confused by your subordinates and make some mistakes, admit it, don't make the emperor angry."

Luo Yang looked at Wang Chengen nervously, and thought in his heart: "Is the prince reminding me that I can't admit it?" Thinking of this, Luo Yangxing said again: "Your Majesty, Weichen can only prepare 50,000 taels of silver for Governor Li, and today Weichen will immediately go home to sell his property, and he will definitely not delay Governor Li's trip." ”

Does Zhu Youzhen know that Luo Yangxing is greedy for 400,000 taels? Of course I don't know, he just thinks according to his own conjecture, but he believes in his guess very much, this Luo Yangxing is greedy for money, and Feng Ying, the secretary of the Criminal Department, has mentioned many times in the chapter that the family wealth of Cui Chengxiu and others was counted by Jinyiwei, and every time he counted, Luo Yangxing was present, which Zhu Youzhen could understand that Feng Ying was saying good things about Luo Yangxing, but he said it four or five times in a row, which could not help but make Zhu Youzhen understand that Feng Ying was hinting at something.

Zhu Youzhen saw that Luo Yangxing still didn't admit it, so he was angry, and threw a foot at Luo Yangxing, who was kneeling on the ground, Luo Yangxing was already kneeling, and this foot was on Luo Yangxing's chest, Luo Yangxing was in great pain, half lying on the ground, covering his chest and coughing.

"Luo Yangxing, I have already told you, no matter how much money you take, I only need 300,000 taels, and the rest of the things are not to blame, you don't admit it now, do you want me to hand you over to the Criminal Department and Feng Ying." Zhu Youzhen gasped and said.

Wang Chengen was also startled, hurriedly knelt down, and said in a low voice: "The emperor is angry, don't be angry with the dragon body." ”
