Chapter 140: Build a Big Playground
waited outside the living room for a while, but before Zhang Nai came out, he waited for Ma Wentao first.
"Brother Xie,...... There's a letter over there. Ma Wentao glanced at Qian Ning beside him, stumbled in his mouth, and swallowed the capital that he was about to say. He is Xie Hong's confidant, and Xie Hong doesn't hide many things from him, so he naturally knows the relationship between his brother and Qian Ning.
"Oh?" During this time, Xie Hong sent more and more letters, and the content became more and more secretive, and he wondered if he should get some codebooks or something in the future, so that it would be convenient.
Otherwise, like the last letter, although Zeng Jian is the secretary of the sixth department, he still doesn't dare to write the content clearly, and can only use a plausible word as a hint, if he is not an insider, he can only be confused when he reads it, and it is too troublesome to guess like this.
As soon as he gestured to Qian Ning, Xie Hong went to the side to open the letter and take a look. This letter was written by Zeng Jian himself, and the content was the movements of the capital, including the court meeting.
The letter is very long, completely different from the previous obscurity, as if afraid that Xie Hong will not be easy to understand, the letter not only details the surnames of the senior members of the DPRK and China, the relationship and interest entanglement between them, and their respective attitudes towards Xie Hong, but also attaches Zeng Jian's analysis and judgment at the back, which makes Xie Hong feel very surprised.
The reason why the previous correspondence was obscure was because Xie Hong was worried that the letters would be intercepted and the news would leak, and none of the things he discussed with Zeng Jian could be known to outsiders. If the plan leaks out, it will not only lead to the loss of his plan, but also affect Zeng Jian, and Xie Hong's concerns Zeng Jian also thought it was true, so there was the previous situation.
But now this letter is really too detailed, after Xie Hong read it, he can even sketch out the scene of that court meeting in his mind, "Three bachelors, the ...... of the Metropolitan Procuratorate" Xie Hong silently thought in his heart, this is the opponent he may meet when he returns to Beijing, it is really a very powerful opponent.
Through Shen Xun's matter, Xie Hong has already discovered that the current situation is not as optimistic as he originally thought. Take this matter as an example, it is clear that Zhengde is in Xuanfu, and the matter is also related to Zhengde, when Governor Zhang disposed of Shen Xun, he asked the capital for instructions, and only reported the results when he had the results. Obviously, his respect for righteousness is only superficial.
Now, Xie Hong also understands that the current Zhengde does not have enough prestige, nor does he have enough authority in his hands, if he pins all his hopes on this fifteen-year-old child, then I don't know how long the so-called change will take long. Now don't talk about change, even you have to worry about your own safety.
It's a pity that Uncle Zeng doesn't know what means the Metropolitan Procuratorate will use, but as long as it is not a direct use of force, just admonishing, there shouldn't be any danger, right? Xie Hong thought nervously, remembering that in the original history, the Eight Tigers were also impeached by the courtiers, but in the end, they were also protected by Zhengde, and his eldest brother should have no problem.
I'm just afraid that in case, Xie Hong's eyebrows are tightly locked, and the butterfly effect caused by himself is really not small, originally Zhengde should have come out of Juyong Pass after taking power, and came to Xuanfu, but now, this unreliable second brother is completely sneaking away. Not to mention the three major bachelors, he can't even carry a Zhang Nai, the current situation is very troublesome.
"Humph!"
While pondering, Xie Hong suddenly heard someone snort coldly, and when he raised his eyes, it was Governor Zhang who had already come out and was looking at him. Zhang Nai's face was warm and angry, and his eyes were full of coldness when he looked at Xie Hong, Xie Hong felt that there was pride in his eyes, and disdain for himself, and even Sen Han's murderous intentions.
"Annihilation!" Seeing Xie Hong raise his eyes, he snorted coldly with great disdain, and after scolding, he didn't say much, turned his head and left.
I rubbed it, what did I think my brother was bullying? Xie Hong was angry, the last time the Tartars attacked, Zhang Nai was as timid as a mouse, regardless of the safety of the people, blindly did not allow the border army to fight, and then tried to calculate Xie Hong, wanted to kill people with a knife, Xie Hong didn't have time to deal with him for a while, who wants to see you today, this person has become even worse.
Xie Hong is not a good-tempered person, he raised his feet and wanted to catch up and scold the other party angrily, a governor who doesn't even care about the lives of the people, where else can he be regarded as a parent official who guards the heavens?
"Big brother, it's so good here, it's not good, it's not good......" At this time, Zhengde ran out, and when he saw Xie Hong, as if he had found a support, he pulled Xie Hong's sleeve and shook it again and again, shouting headlessly, his face was very anxious.
Zhu Houzhao often speaks like this, Xie Hong is used to it, but when he is interrupted by this second brother, he can't chase Zhang Nai.
"Second brother, what's wrong? Did Zhang Nai intimidate you? If so, the eldest brother will go to him to theorize and avenge you. Xie Hong rolled up his sleeves and said hatefully. The old hatred and new hatred are calculated together, if it is in the name of promoting Zhengde, it is nothing to use the theory of fists and feet, right? In the case that the other party was an old man, Xie Hong was very confident in his combat effectiveness.
"Big brother, it's not good, Scholar Xie is coming to Xuanfu, let's quickly pack up and run away." Zhengde continued to shake Xie Hong's arm.
Embarrassment, second brother, you are the emperor, just a Xie Qian, as for the fear of becoming like this? And you're a bad idea, run away? Trying to stand firm, Xie Hong felt dizzy, well, being shaken, it was like seasickness.
"Where are you going?" Xie Hong replied casually.
"This ......" Zhengde paused and thought for a moment, and then continued to shake, "It's better to go to Datong, or go to Jiangnan, or ...... Anyway, the farther away from the capital, the better. ”
Xie Hong is even more dizzy, and Zhu Houzhao is too irresponsible, right? Are you not going to be emperor anymore? Don't say whether Zhang Nai will stop it, and don't say that he can't stop it, but if he really runs away this time, can the ministers in the court not think about anything else?
The other Xie Hong didn't know, but he knew that the emperor after Zhengde was Jiajing, who could only be regarded as a cousin of Zhengde, and later, when King Ning rebelled, the ministers of the court and the central government had an ambiguous attitude. If Zhengde really runs away, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no accidents in the DPRK, then ...... My three brothers have really become heroes, heroes in the green forest! Xie Hong shuddered, brother didn't come to the Ming Dynasty to be a horse thief, that glorious mission should be left to the latecomers, such as his college classmate, who has a common hob......by with Zhengde, "Second brother, you are the emperor, the capital still has to be returned, anyway, the ministers have to listen to you, right?" Xie Hong explained.
Zhengde still shook his head, "Big brother, you don't know, Scholar Xie is very scary, he can use different words to say the same meaning many times, for several hours!" It's like ......" He paused to think about how to phrase it.
"A fly." Cut, isn't it just irrigation? Future generations of Internet writers will have this skill, Xie Hong kindly reminded Zhengde.
"Yes, it's a fly, buzzing in your ear, no, not one, it's a swarm! I can't wait to ......" Zhengde gritted his teeth and spit out a number of words that were very bloody and inappropriate for children.
This second brother really has a nonsensical talent, and if he comes to the next generation, he will definitely make a movie star who has become famous with this have nothing to eat. Xie Hong was speechless, his own family was really powerful, and he left a psychological shadow in Zhu Houzhao's heart. Seeing that Zhengde was still clamoring to escape, Xie Hong had no choice but to change his statement.
"Second brother, as long as we leave now, then Scholar Xie won't come." Zeng Jian's letter also detailed Li Dongyang's plan, so Xie Hong could have a plan for the surname.
"That's true, but ......" Zhengde's eyes rolled around, and he said: "Scholar Liu is also terrible, he speaks very loudly, and every sentence mentions his father and the emperor, and Scholar Li......" He counted the members of the court one by one, and finally stared at Xie Hong with bright eyes, and said: "Moreover, the capital is very boring, it's not fun, big brother, let's run, you don't want my second brother and me to suffer, right?" ”
I'm rubbing, when did the second brother have another coquettish skill? Don't stare at my brother with that kind of look, if you stare again, my brother will cry to you. For this living treasure, Xie Hong was completely speechless, for a long time, what was afraid of this and that was an excuse, Zhu Houzhao just wanted to play outside for a few more days.
If he didn't know the historical process at all, Xie Hong didn't care, but he knew something, so where did he dare to take such a risk? Okay, brother is going to use a killer weapon, Xie Hongxin was horizontal, pulled Zhengde into the living room, and said sneakily: "Come, second brother, come here, I'll talk to you about something in private......"
"A good thing?" Zhengde Fox was suspicious and refused to move the place.
"Of course it's a good thing, but it's a secret." Xie Hong has the potential to abduct pure teenagers.
"Secret!" Hearing that it was a secret, Zhengde's eyes lit up. followed Xie Hong for a few steps, and suddenly turned his head to Gu Dayong and Qian Ning, who wanted to follow, and shouted: "Dayong, Qian Ning, don't follow, don't eavesdrop, leave me some private space." Then happily followed Xie Hong into the living room.
Private space? What a fresh word, Gu Dayong and Qian Ning glanced at each other, and they both saw the envy in each other's eyes:
"This Lord Xie is really amazing, I have never seen anyone who can coax the Long Live Lord so happily and so obediently, no wonder people say that only reading has a future, our brothers are almost here, how can you say such words that make the Long Live Lord happy without culture? Sure enough, there is a golden house in the book. ”
While the two sighed, they were also very happy, if it weren't for Lord Xie, if Master Long Live continued to run this time, everyone would be blind. No one could persuade this young master before, even if it was a few scholars and the Queen Mother, it was just a momentary fright, who could make the Long Live Lord listen to persuasion so happily?
This is the gap, why is the gap between people and people so big? Shameful and courageous, as two very self-motivated middle-aged people, Gu Dayong and Qian Ning were secretly determined to get along with Lord Xie well, and then learn from Lord Xie well, and strive to become a useful person by the side of Lord Long Sui.
Xie Hong didn't know that he had become a role model for others, and he felt that his current image was very obscene, much like those who sold pirated CDs in later generations.
"Second brother, in fact, the capital can be very fun......" Xie Hong began to coax.
"Big brother, haven't you ever been to the capital? How do you know that the capital is fun? Zhu Houzhao was very vigilant and refused to be fooled.
"Isn't it fun to have me there?" Xie Hong said proudly.
"It makes sense, but ......" Zhengde rolled his eyes and said, "Then wouldn't it be better for us to go to other places to play?" ”
"It's not good," Xie Hong shook his head, "Second brother, do you remember what I said about the industrial revolution?" With that, the world will be more interesting and better......"
"Yes, yes......" Zhu Houzhao nodded hurriedly, "Big brother, you say, at that time, I will have what I want, as long as I place an order, I can pick up the goods when I turn around, it's good." Thinking of the scene Xie Hong said, the young man who had never seen the world looked longing.
"Yes, if you want to realize such a good wish, you have to be in the capital to do it, if you continue to run around, second brother, then this matter will not be completed." Xie Hong sighed regretfully.
"Then ......" Zhengde was very embarrassed, "You have to go back to the capital?" ”
Xie Hong nodded, and said in a very resolute tone: "We must go back to the capital, if we run around again, I'm afraid I won't have time to make things for you in the future, you think, we have to hurry, we have to find materials, and we have to avoid the pursuers...... I definitely don't have any helpers around me, and I may not be able to do anything by then. ”
At the beginning, Xie Hong deliberately said something serious, but later as he spoke, he also understood that this was not a scare, but the actual situation. If there is no Dong Ping's help, it will indeed be very troublesome, he can't strike iron himself, there is no suitable material, no matter how good the craftsmanship is, it will be in vain.
Hearing Xie Hong say this, Zhengde was also very distressed, he was not stupid, on the contrary, Zhu Houzhao was very smart, if Xie Hong really wanted to fool him, it would be self-defeating. But now, Xie Hong's concerns are very reasonable, and he can't help but want to agree.
However, thinking of the cage-like capital, thinking of the extremely oppressive Forbidden City, Zhengde didn't want to go back anyway, let alone face those incomparably terrible old men after going back. Thinking of going back, Zhu Houzhao only felt that his future was not bright at all, what a miserable life it was.
"If you go back...... How will the scholars and ministers deal with it? After being in a dilemma for a while, Zhengde raised another concern.
"Second brother, you are the emperor! You can order them to shut up, don't worry, if not, I still have to. Xie Hong didn't know that the sky was high and the earth was thick. He also knew that he would face a lot of troubles when he returned to the capital, but these troubles would have to be faced sooner or later.
What's more, Zeng Jianxin made it clear that the later he went back, the more variables there were, and the greater the trouble, although Xie Hong was a little apprehensive, he also knew that this was impossible to retreat, Zhengde couldn't, and he couldn't.
"But the capital is really boring, and it's not interesting at all." Zhengde said his last concern, which was also his biggest heart.
In the face of Zhengde's concerns, Xie Hong was full of pride, just as he and Zeng Jian promised, in front of another person with a higher status, he made a second promise that sounded ridiculous very solemnly:
"Don't worry, second brother, that lifeless capital will soon cease to exist, and my brother will make it a big playground!"
