Chapter 632: The Battle of the Imperial Court
readx; As soon as he heard that Zhu Youzhen was going to pay for the money, the tense atmosphere in the conference hall immediately eased. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Not only Hong Chengchou, but even Li Qin also slapped Zhu Youzhen's sycophants, the two sang and harmonized, and the tacit understanding was like comrades-in-arms in the same trench.
Regarding Zhu Youzhen's request to go to the labor army in person, Hong Chengchou also agreed. Wen Tiren also smiled: "That's right, the ministers go to the army to investigate, and it is more fair to have His Royal Highness in charge." Only Zhou Yanru was noncommittal.
Since Sun Chuanting, who is a party, has not yet arrived, the investigation naturally cannot be launched. Zhu Youzhen was also unwilling to stay in the eunuch's mansion for long, so he got up and said goodbye. Li Qin didn't stay hard, Zhu Youzhen went out of the mansion obediently, and the heart that had been hanging was put back in his stomach, secretly thinking that because of the protective umbrella of the apocalypse, Wei Zhongxian didn't have the courage to attack himself openly after all.
Just walked not far, Hong Chengchou hurried from behind, and repeatedly invited Zhu Youzhen to the Governor's Palace, he wanted to prepare a little thin wine to thank Zhu Youzhen for his labor and military affection. Zhu Youzhen didn't want to go, but it can be seen that Hong Chengchou seems to have something else to say to himself, and he thinks that Hong Chengchou is not a member of the eunuch party, and he has no motive to harm himself, so it doesn't hurt to listen to what he wants to say to himself.
Therefore, Zhu Youzhen readily agreed, and the convoy drove into the trilateral governor's palace. The security here is much stricter than that of the eunuch's mansion, and Hong Chengchou's standard battalion of 500 elite soldiers completely blocked the four streets outside the mansion, and ordinary people are not allowed to pass at all. However, of course, they did not hinder the entourage of the Qin Palace, Zhu Youzhen secretly asked Yan Ling, knowing that Liu Quanzhong's battalion had strictly controlled the entire Xi'an City, so he entered the Governor's Mansion with confidence and boldness.
Hong Chengchou didn't talk about those false courtesies, and directly let Zhu Youzhen to the flower hall of the back house, of course, Yan Ling, as Zhu Youzhen's personal guard, did not leave half a step for a moment.
When I entered the flower hall, I saw that there was indeed a table of wine here. Hong Chengchou invited Zhu Youzhen to sit on the upper seat, and Yan Ling stood behind Zhu Youzhen.
Hong Chengchou first said a few words of gratitude and politeness, drank two glasses of wine with Zhu Youzhen, and suddenly said mysteriously: "Your Highness, the minister wants to introduce someone to Your Highness." ”
Saying that, he high-fived him three times, and one person came from outside the door, but he only gave Zhu Youzhen a deep look, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Grass people Yunzijian, see His Royal Highness King Qin." ”
"Mr. Yun is the new master hired by the minister," Hong Chengchou hurriedly introduced, "his person is resourceful, and the minister is deeply instructed." Don't hide it from Your Highness, this battle in Shaanxi was all planned by Mr. Yun, and the minister just acted according to the plan. ”
Zhu Youzhen looked at it and saw that it was the mysterious person who played Go with him, and he couldn't help but move in his heart. However, he was easy to be embarrassed at that time, and of course he had to pretend to greet him for the first time at this time.
Hong Chengchou obviously had great respect for Yun Zijian, so he let him sit in the second seat, and he fell to accompany the prime minister. After drinking a glass of wine, Hong Chengchou put the wine glass on his head, sighed heavily, and said, "Alas! Your Highness, the minister really feels like a wretch! After such a big victory, it doesn't matter if the court doesn't reward it, isn't it chilling to still act like this! Since Li Qin came to Xi'an, the ministers blindly tolerated him, but he had to make inches of progress and wanted to take the credit for Shaanxi's great victory for himself. This time the minister didn't let him, he held a grudge, so he would cause so much trouble. The people who escorted the prisoners were all from Dongchang, and the ministers dared to pack tickets, Gao Yingxiang must have been transferred at his behest! For his own selfishness, he disregarded the country's major affairs! ”
"Lord Governor, you know only one thing, but you don't know the other." Yun Zijian took a sip of wine and said unhurriedly, "It seems that someone is jealous of the achievements of the Governor and Governor Sun, and deliberately finds fault and frames; In fact, this is a battle between the courts, but the real struggle is in Beijing! ”
"Oh?" Zhu Youjian saw that Yun Zijian's words were amazing, and he was very interested, "Please sir!" ”
Yun Zijian was not polite, and said eloquently: "Since the Donglin Party was purged, the imperial court has been in the hands of Wei Zhongxian, and the Manchu Dynasty is full of eunuchs. However, the eunuch party is not monolithic, they were originally divided into several factions such as the Chu party, the Zhejiang party, and the Qi party, and the contradictions between them are also very sharp, and they came together in order to jointly deal with the Donglin party. Now that the Donglin Party has lost power, these people are quickly turning against each other again.
"The current cabinet chief assistant is Gu Bingqian. This person has no academic integrity, and at the age of seventy-one, he took the initiative to let his son worship Wei Zhongxian as his godgrandfather, doesn't he think he is Wei Zhongxian's godson? However, this person can still deal with some government affairs, so Wei Zhongxian made him the first assistant. This time in Shaanxi, Gu Bingqian, as the first assistant, naturally had a bright face, so he planned to reward the soldiers and promote the governor and Governor Sun.
"Against him is Wei Guangwei, a scholar of the Ministry of Officials and a scholar of Jianji Palace. Wei Guangwei has the same surname as Wei Zhongxian, but he has no relationship, but he has long befriended Wei Zhongxian, participated in the maintenance of the aircraft, and framed dissidents. Wei Zhongxian also attaches great importance to him, so he is known as the 'Duke of Waiwei'. But Wei Guangwei and Gu Bingqian are mortal enemies, and they have always wanted to squeeze Gu Bingqian down to be the first assistant, so if Gu Bingqian agrees, he will oppose it; If Gu Bingqian is against it, he agrees.
"This time the victory in Shaanxi, obviously the results were brilliant, Wei Guangwei had to pick a bone in the egg, and deliberately instigated the official to impeach the governor by killing the good and risking the merits. Originally, it was not a new thing to kill the good and take the merits, but Li Qin was too bold to catch up, and dared to let Gao Yingxiang go, and then framed it to the governor, which caused the government and the opposition to shake. Therefore, this matter seems complicated, but in fact, Gu Bingqian and Wei Guangwei are fighting, the so-called investigation is just a formality, and whoever can win in the court and Gu Wei will be decided according to whose will. To put it disrespectfully, the Governor, Governor Sun, and Li Qin are just pawns in the hands of the two. ”
Zhu Youjian listened to Yun Zijian's mouthful of "eunuchs", and knew that he and Hong Chengchou were inevitably not eunuchs. originally listened to his analysis and calmed down, Zhu Youzhen still had a good impression of him; But when he thought of the course of the Shaanxi Campaign, as well as Yun Zijian's indifferent attitude towards killing good and risking merits, Zhu Youzhen knew that this person was the same as Hong Chengchou, he was also a ruthless and unscrupulous person, even better than Hong Chengchou, and couldn't help but feel disgusted in his heart.
But now his biggest enemy is Wei Zhongxian, although Hong Chengchou hates it, he can still be regarded as an "enemy of the enemy", even if Zhu Youzhen disdains to cooperate with him, at least he is not willing to add another enemy. Therefore, Zhu Youzhen reluctantly smiled and asked: "Mr. Yun's words made this king suddenly open. So, Wen Tiren and Zhou Yanru are both Wei Guangwei's henchmen? ”
"Definitely." Yun Zijian shook his head and smiled, "Not only are these two not Wei Guangwei's henchmen, but they are not even eunuchs. ”
