Chapter VII: The Traitor Confers the Head
In the Forbidden City, in the Wuying Palace, Zhu sat south from the school. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Wang An is on his side. Zhu Youxiao opened his mouth and asked, "How is the matter, can those people escape?" "Go back to Your Majesty, and arrest them all. Lord Luo should be able to come back soon and report to His Majesty." "Well, that's right, Luo Sigong, except for Gu Xiancheng and Ye Zitu. The rest of the people were all thrown into the edict prison, and the two of them were brought in, and I want to meet this famous Mr. Donglin" Your Majesty laughed, how could he be praised by His Majesty. Moreover, Mr. Donglin said that he was just a rebel in Donglin. There is also that Ye Zitu, after being loyal and good in vain, I think that the first auxiliary leaf in the past is high, what a stunning and brilliant person, but now he should bear the infamy of this unworthy descendant. It's really a family tragedy," Wang An said. "Yes, I want to be old Ye Ge in the past, loyal and courageous. Worked hard for me. Now that his descendants are doing such things, it is really difficult for me to do. Okay, you go down, I want to be quiet." Wang An bowed and retreated. Wang An, who walked outside the hall, looked up at the sky and whispered, Ge Lao, our family can only help this step. The rest is up to his creation. Why did Wang An help Ye Zituna? It turned out that Wang An only entered the palace that year. has not yet worshiped Huang Jin as a godfather. Because he collided with Zheng Guifei, who was in his prime. was almost killed, but Ye Xianggao, who happened to be passing by, saw it and saved the little eunuch who had just entered the palace. That's why Wang An is willing to take the risk to intercede for Ye Zitu today. In fact, Zhu Youxiao also knew about this, so he didn't say anything when he heard Wang An intercede for him. Only send Wang An out. Just ask how the three major intelligence organizations of the empire in their hands could not know these past events. That's why Zhu Youxiao didn't reprimand Wang An. Because he knew that the ancients paid attention to the grace of dripping water, and the spring reciprocated. Of course, he also has the intention of taking advantage of this trip to buy horse bones. In this way, the people of the world know their magnanimity. Wang An came to report "Your Majesty" from his contemplation. "Well, what's the matter?" Your Majesty. A few days ago, I ordered to find a few famous Beijing teachers, and the businessmen have already found them. Would you like to see you now? "Now it's outside the palace." "Back to Your Majesty, it's all outside the palace." "Well, the errand is good, Xuan come in. I'll see them."
On the official road leading from Shanhaiguan to BJ, a group of cavalry galloped. All Mongolian horses, horse knights dressed in red cloth and black mountain armor. He has a goose knife hanging from his waist and a black iron spear in one hand. The group of knights looked to be about fifty or sixty people, one of whom was dressed as a military commander in white bright light armor, and the other was dressed in a brocade robe, a black cloak, and a crown of virtue, with a thin face and bright eyes. The young man dressed as a military general said, "My lord, what did you say about Your Majesty's edict to return to Beijing this time, will it be because he is dissatisfied with you?" "Sangui, the heart of the Son of Heaven, how can our courtiers speculate, and it will not be like this in the future." The man named Sangui replied, "Yes, my lord, but I will tell you about it." With others, I don't." "You, remember, you know. However, His Majesty ordered me to return to Beijing to report on my work, I think it was because of the matter in Liaodong, since the Wanli period, the Jiannu incident, and now it has been so many years. It's time for a charter." Your Majesty won't blame you, but the Holy Decree wants you to set off as soon as you receive it. We are so many days late, where is Your Majesty, how to say? "I also did it without saying anything, Sangui, you also know that when I came, the Tartars had moved, if I didn't arrange it, how could I rest assured. It doesn't hurt to get some reprimands for that." "Your Excellency is right." That Sangui said". General Wu, we are about to fall into Zunhua." Soldiers came to report. This group of people is Yuan Yingtai, the Liaodong Economic Strategy who came to the capital to report on his work, and the man who was dressed as a military general. is also a famous person, Wu Sangui.
There are three people in Wuying Palace, one fat and two thin, all of whom are in their thirties and forties. Salute to Zhu Youxiao. "Caomin Li Bai, Zhao Liang, Cao Zhi have seen 3 Your Majesty". The three of them entered the center of power in the empire for the first time. seemed a little confused, "Okay, a few people get up, I will see you and others today, but I have something to ask for." When the three of them heard Zhu Youxiao's words, they were so frightened that they knelt down again. The three of them banged their heads on the ground. Then Li Bai said, "Your Majesty has something to order, and the ministers will never dare to refuse." How dare you let Your Majesty want to beg, it is really a torment for the three grass people." "Okay, you get up first, don't be afraid, I will ask you 1 a few things first." The three of them stood up tremblingly when they heard this. "Wang An, give a seat". The three of them sat down cautiously, "I asked the three of you what kind of business you all have, what kind of businessmen do you know, and tell me in detail." This time, it was still the person named Li Bai, who stood up. The trio seemed to be headed by him. Li Bai said, "Back to Your Majesty, I will wait for the three of us, the villain runs the restaurant cloth, Zhao Liang manages the tea and silk, and Cao Zhi runs the dance and music of the teaching workshop", said Cao Zhi's face was embarrassed. Zhu Youxiao was stunned for a moment, and then reacted. It turned out to be a leather and meat business. Zhu Youxiao said, "Well, but unexpectedly, Cao Zhi, you are also an elegant person." It is the work of the pipe: there is a sense of appreciation in the tone, and there is no contempt for it. After Cao Zhi heard this, excitement flashed on his face. As we all know, in the Spring and Autumn Period, Guan Yiwu and Xingchu Pavilion were used to supplement military funds. "As for the grass people, etc., there are many merchants who know them." "That being the case, I will send you and others, and you will be rich and rich. I don't know if you're willing to wait." The three of them hurriedly knelt down again and said, "Given by the Son of Heaven, I dare not resign." We are willing to go to the soup for Your Majesty, and we will not give up." "In this case, I will give you and others an identity first, so that you and others can contact me. Now you are now sealed as a hereditary brocade guard hundred households, and the palace card will be given". "Minister, Li Bai, Zhao Liang, Cao Zhi Xie Your Majesty". "Okay, let's get down to business now, and then run a business for me, and continue to do what you are doing now. When these are not enough, you will have to do salt, iron, coal mines, and even go to Jiangsu and Zhejiang to do maritime trade business." Zhu Youxiao said that the three of them were so frightened that they couldn't speak. "But Your Majesty, the first few things are easy to say. But this goes to sea". Li Bai said nervously. "When it comes to going to sea, I am in charge of you and others, what are you afraid of, as long as you don't make too much publicity. Besides, this sea is forbidden, hehe". Zhu Youxiao sneered a few times, but didn't say anything, "If you are so a minister, you can show your skills for Your Majesty." "The income from this business, you wait for thirty percent, and I have seventy percent. I don't know what Aiqing and others can wish." The three of them hurriedly said, "There is no objection, but Your Majesty is obedient." The three of them said in their hearts, only fools have opinions, even if they are three, they are much more than the original, and more importantly, they will be imperial businessmen in the future, and they will do things for the Son of Heaven, maybe they will be like the Spring and Autumn Yi clan in the future. "Alright, let's stand down." Zhu Youxiao said, "The ministers are retiring."
Inside the Jinyi Guard prison, there was a burst of angry scolding, screams, and beatings. Say "Who else is involved in the rebellion, say, who else." "A brocade guard Xiaoqi is interrogating the captured Donglin Party, since entering here, the well-dressed Donglin gentlemen on weekdays can be said to be in all kinds of ways, each with its own differences. There are those who beg for mercy, there are those who do not speak, and there are those who pretend to be crazy and stupid. Let these brocade guards be regarded as open. However, Luo Sigong has long been taken for granted, he is a hereditary brocade guard, not these raw melon eggs. Naturally, I know that as long as I get here, I will say whatever I want you to say. I want to think about how many heroes who have survived hundreds of battles on the battlefield at the beginning of the founding of the country, and when he arrives here, he will recruit whatever he wants. Not to mention these rotten people. "Give me a hard beating, brothers can beat me as long as you don't kill people, don't be polite to them." Luo Sigong said, at this time, a hundred households said, "My lord, these traitors, they will be beaten to death, and they are very afraid." "This official is not afraid, but His Majesty is still useful in keeping them. When the time comes, skin them and fill them with grass." Luo Sigong said. As soon as they heard this, more people began to beg for mercy. Crying, scolding mixed together. Luo Sigong closed his eyes as if enjoying himself. At this time, a small flag came to report, "My lord, someone has come to the palace." As he was talking, a eunuch came in, and this eunuch was doing Wei Zhongxian. After Wei Zhongxian came back that day, he was left by Zhu Youxiao. "Oh, what kind of wind, blowing Grandpa Wei." Luo Sigong said. "Naturally, His Majesty is here." Wei Zhongxian said with a smile. "Then I don't know Your Majesty, send Father-in-law Wei, what advice do you have here?" "Your Majesty's Commandment" and "Listen to the Hadith". "Except for Gu Xiancheng and Ye Zitu. The rest of the people were pressed into the edict, and the two of them wanted to see each other, Wei Zhongxian stood there and said, "Is it clear to my lord?" "Luo understands, come and hand over Gu Xiancheng and Ye Zitu to this Wei father-in-law." Wei Zhongxian stood there and said, "In this case, it will be troublesome, Lord Luo." Luo Sigong stood there without saying a word, with a cold face. The two had a secret confrontation just now, and he fell behind. Make him unhappy. Jinyiwei and Dongchang have been fighting openly and secretly for so many years. Seeing that there was another talent in Dongchang, he was naturally uncomfortable, and he had heard about Wei Zhongxian. He felt that if this person didn't do well, he would be Liu Jin, Huang Jin and the like. At that time, Jinyiwei will be subservient again. After all, the Son of Heaven trusts his house slave more. After a while, the two were brought. Then Wei Zhongxian left with him.
On the way to the palace, Gu Xiancheng and Wei Zhongxian stared at each other. Those who don't know still think that the two have a good relationship. But only the two of them know the inside story. And Ye Zitu sat on the side, closed his eyes and pondered, without saying a word. The silence in the car was terrible. After a long time, Gu Xiancheng opened his mouth and said, "I see your heart." Wei Zhongxian also said, "So do I." "I see your ambitions. Your heart is big". Gu Xiancheng said. "So what, you should know that Your Majesty trusts us very much, and since the establishment of the Great Ming Dynasty, there are more eunuchs who are more ambitious than me. But His Majesty still trusts us. Just because we will always be loyal to the Son of Heaven and will not betray, we are the retainers of the Son of Heaven. But you don't." Wei Zhongxian said. "Yes, maybe? Gu Xiancheng said, his tone inexplicable. "Subgraph, what are you thinking". Gu Xiancheng asked. "I'm thinking about how to live, how to leave this life, and do something useful." "Zitu is a wonderful person". Ha, haha, Gu Xiancheng said with a laugh.
