Chapter 32 The king is in Jin and Tian Ergeng
Glancing at Wang Zaijin, Tian Ergeng said with a smile: "Actually, I went to the city gate today, but I didn't expect Li Kuilong to be there, so I didn't show up." Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info I've been closed for a long time, and I'm not feeling well pretending to be sick. ”
Wang Zaijin looked at Tian Ergeng, frowned and said, "Speak well, learn from others to play this set!" ”
Of course, Wang Zaijin heard the meaning of Tian Ergeng's words, which was to show his position, and at the same time to test himself. It's just that Wang Zaijin didn't expect that Wei Zhongxian had only been arrested for a few days, why had the form of the capital deteriorated to this point?
For Tian Ergeng's position, Wang Zaijin is also expected, although Tian Ergeng was born as a civil official, but he has already achieved the position of the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and he is naturally opposed to the civil official, if it were not for the existence of Wei Zhongxian, he would not have come together with the Qi, Zhejiang and Chu parties.
The Qi, Zhejiang, and Chu parties leaned on Wei Zhongxian at the beginning, and what they valued was that Wei Zhongxian gained the emperor's trust and took control of Dongchang and Jinyiwei.
The purge and revenge against the Donglin Party were also passed by Dongchang and Jinyiwei, who were interdependent and used each other.
If you really want to say how close it is, it doesn't make sense, although in the battle between Jinyiwei and Dongchang, Dongchang has always had the upper hand, but Jinyiwei also wants to turn over! But no one said that the governor of Jinyiwei must listen to the Dongchang factory.
If it weren't for Wei Zhongxian's strength being too strong and the emperor trusting Wei Zhongxian too much, Tian Ergeng wouldn't necessarily have an attitude.
Jinyiwei has not been ruthless, the famous one is Lu Bing, when Lu Bing was the commander of Jinyiwei, Dongchang dared to point fingers at Jinyiwei? It's just that the emperor is now more and more confident in the eunuchs, resulting in the unequal status of Jinyiwei and Dongchang, whose power comes from the emperor.
Seeing Wang Zaijin's attitude, Tian Ergeng smiled: "I originally wanted to see you as soon as possible, but I didn't expect Li Kuilong to be faster than me, fortunately you didn't go with him, otherwise you would be in trouble today." ”
"If I leave with Li Kuilong, won't you come to play today?" Wang Zaijin stared at Tian Ergeng and said in a deep voice.
Tian Ergeng smiled, drank the tea in the cup in one gulp, and said with a smile: "I can't say this kind of thing, after all, you didn't go with Li Kuilong!" ”
Wang Zaijin glared at Tian Ergeng, did not bother with his attitude, and said directly: "To put it bluntly, what is the matter with you coming here today, you came to the post station to drink tea at night, I don't believe that the tea in the Governor's Mansion is not as good as here." ”
Sighing, Tian Ergeng's expression was a little gloomy, and he said with a wry smile: "At this time, what else can I do, just try to protect myself!" ”
Slightly stunned, Wang Zaijin also fell into contemplation, Tian Ergeng could not be targeted, as the governor of Jinyiwei, his news is much better than the average person, fortunately asked: "Then tell me, I am not in the capital this time, what kind of drama has been staged in the capital!" ”
"Wei Zhongxian was locked up in the palace by the emperor, and everyone else just heard about it, but I've seen it!" Tian Ergeng said a shocking news about Wang Zaijin.
"Have you seen Wei Zhongxian?" Wang Zaijin looked at Tian Ergeng in disbelief, and suddenly asked, "The emperor has a showdown with you?" ”
Tian Ergeng nodded: "Wei Zhongxian is very miserable, you may not know that the Dongchang factory has been replaced, it is a eunuch named Fang Zhenghua, he killed Liang Dong, the director of the Dongchang factory, on the first day of his tenure, and directly put Wang Tiqian in prison. ”
"Wang Tiqian was imprisoned?" Wang Zaijin sat on the chair and asked rhetorically, which showed how shocked his heart was.
Who is Wang Tiqian? O eunuch of the celebrant and the pen! Wei Zhongxian's loyal followers can be said to be the number two among the eunuchs. Now that Wei Zhongxian has been software and Wang Tiqian has been imprisoned, it is obvious that Emperor Chongzhen has begun to do it.
Although it has not yet affected the court, it is because Emperor Chongzhen has not yet wanted to move the court.
The power of Jinyiwei and Dongchang comes from the emperor, and if the emperor wants to take power, he naturally takes Dongchang and Jinyiwei first. Once Dongchang and Jinyiwei have taken power, they will do things for the emperor with others, and what the emperor wants to do can be done.
As for going through the cabinet and going to the hundred officials of the imperial court, it is basically impossible in this kind of time when the party is fighting against differences, and it may even be that the emperor's holy decree cannot leave the Forbidden City, let alone other places.
"The palace is also moving, many eunuchs have been found to have problems, and the palace maids have also checked again, and now it is very difficult to find out a little news from the palace!" Tian Ergeng sighed: "Who do you think the emperor will move after moving the East Factory and the palace?" ”
Wang Zaijin looked at Tian Ergeng and said with a smile: "Of course it's you, do you still need to guess?" ”
Tian Ergeng nodded: "So the emperor summoned me into the palace, and also said something to me, let me meet Wei Zhongxian, and let me do some other things, how do you think I should choose?" How? ”
After pondering for a long time, Wang Zaijin said slowly: "Jinyiwei is different from Dongchang, you have cultivated cronies for so many years, you have great power, and your foundation is very deep. In addition, the East Factory is not controlled by Wei Zhongxian himself, and the emperor will not make a big move unless he has to. ”
"Once you are moved, it will be difficult to find someone to come out, even if there is the right person, it will take time, and the emperor will not wait!"
Looking at Wang Zaijin with appreciation, Tian Ergeng said with a smile: "It is worthy of being a great talent, the analysis is good, the emperor did give me the opportunity to choose, and I am not guilty of my previous affairs, but I also need my vote, but I am also worried!" ”
"Worried about doing it?" Wang Zaijin looked at Tian Ergeng with a smile: "So you came here to ask for a plan?" ”
Tian Ergeng nodded, which of them who do Jinyi Weidong Factory is not afraid of this?
Who is Lai Junchen? The famous celebrities of the Tang Dynasty, who still stink for 10,000 years after they died, were always taken out and said. The stench has been left for 10,000 years, Tian Ergeng doesn't care, people die and birds are facing the sky, who cares what happens after death? But I don't want to end up with Junchen!
He was killed, his home was raided, and now his Tian family is a prominent family, and when it comes to that time, he is ashamed of the ancestors of the Tian family!
Lai Junchen was a famous cool official when Wu Zetian was in power, and won Wu Zetian's trust because of his informant, and successively served as a servant of the imperial history, Zhongcheng of the Zuotai imperial history, and a servant Shaoqing, organized hundreds of scoundrels to specialize in informing, and set up a magistrate's court, Daxing Prison, and his henchman Zhu Nanshan and others wrote the "Luo Weaving Sutra", manufactured all kinds of cruel torture instruments, used methods such as coercing confessions, arbitrarily fabricated charges to cause death, and thousands of ministers and clans were killed by him.
The emperor wants his own vote, it is estimated that what he will do in the future is these things, once the emperor wants to appease the anger of his courtiers, can he imagine his end?
Unloading the mill and killing the donkey is not a matter for the royal family at all, and I am afraid that there will not even be a person to intercede for him at that time.
Wang Zaijin smiled and said to Tian Ergeng: "How did Lai Junchen die?" corrupted the law, ran rampant, formed friends with Hou Sizhi, Wang Hongyi, etc., and finally even tried to frame the kings of the Wu family, Princess Taiping, Zhang Yizhi and other Wu Zetian's most trusted figures. He also tried to falsely accuse the imperial heir Li Dan and Li Xian, the king of Luling, of rebellion, but was denounced by Wei Suizhong, and the kings of the Wu family and Princess Taiping took the opportunity to expose all kinds of crimes of Lai Junchen, and was finally executed by Wu Zetian's order. ”
"You just have to remember, listen to the emperor's orders, don't form a party, don't do it for personal gain, only do what you should do, don't do what you shouldn't do, don't get involved, you won't end up with Junchen, this is Daming, not Datang, and the heart is in the stomach. How many people have been killed by the emperor in the past? Most of them were just dismissed. ”
Seeing Wang Zaijin say this, Tian Ergeng breathed a sigh of relief: "Actually, I just asked you to give me a little confidence, but in fact, I didn't have a choice." ”
Wang Zaijin was also silent, indeed, Tian Ergeng had no choice, he had already arrived in front of the mountain, and it was impossible to turn back.
"Then do it well, corrupt officials and corrupt officials, do what you have to do, if you really have no evidence, you have to report it directly, don't make your own decisions, don't figure out the emperor's thoughts, you can protect yourself, understand?" Wang Zaijin looked at Tian Ergeng and gave him ideas.
Although Tian Ergeng didn't say it, Wang Zaijin understood that Tian Ergeng was the knife used by Emperor Chongzhen to cut through the court, and this knife must be bloody.
"Forget it, don't talk about me, talk about you!" Tian Ergeng waved his hand, pretending to be relaxed and said: "There is definite news in the palace, the emperor summoned you back to Beijing, for the sake of Liaodong's affairs, and the emperor is ready to replace the ministers of Liaodong Governor Wang." ”
Wang Zaijin nodded, he had already guessed this, after knowing that the emperor had summoned himself and Yuan Chonghuan, Wang Zaijin knew that it must be for the sake of Liaodong, and there was no suspense about this.
"Sun Chengzong will be the secretary of the military department!" Tian Ergeng looked at Wang Zaijin and teased: "How much chance do you think you have?" ”
"Myself?" Wang Zaijin smiled: "The heart of heaven is unpredictable, then it can only be resigned to fate!" ”
Tian Ergeng waved his hand and said with a smile: "I don't think so, the possibility of you going to Liaodong is very big, if the emperor doesn't want you to go to Liaodong, he will definitely not summon you to Beijing, as for Yuan Chonghuan, he has no drama, don't think about it." ”
"Why?" Wang Zaijin was a little hesitant, after all, if Sun Chengzong became the secretary of the Ministry of War, Yuan Chonghuan would get the support of his teacher, how could he win Yuan Chonghuan?
"I don't know much about employing people, but there are rumors in the palace that the emperor is very dissatisfied with the annual expenses of Liaodong." Tian Ergeng smiled mysteriously: "The emperor has spent a lot of money in Liaodong and has been operating for so many years, what is the result?" Not to mention the recovery of Liaotu, you can't even win the battle. ”
Wang Zaijin was silent, the situation in Liaodong was complicated, the Ming army had been weak for a long time, and its combat effectiveness was very low, far less brave than the Tartar soldiers.
The other is the composition of soldiers and horses, with the infantry of the Ming Dynasty against the Tartar cavalry, they are inherently weak. Even if they were on horseback, they were only infantry on horseback, and tactical innovation and cavalry training could not be achieved in a short period of time.
