Chapter 20: Goodbye Wei Zhongxian

Seeing that Emperor Chongzhen lost his temper, Wang Chengen didn't dare to speak, but just stood aside respectfully, with a little helplessness on his face, these ministers too, isn't it good to drag it out for a while?

Why did Wei Zhongxian fall, and the cabinet people couldn't even say anything about the New Year. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Emperor Chongzhen flicked his sleeves, threw the fold on the table, and said loudly: "I'm too lazy to look at it, put it there first, you summon Tian Ergeng, the governor of Jinyi Weidu, to me into the palace, I want to see him!" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, the slave will do it!" Wang Chengen was slightly stunned, and then nodded in agreement.

Emperor Chongzhen didn't deal with Wei Zhongxian directly, and Wang Chengen hadn't figured it out at first, but now he had figured it out a little. Obviously, Emperor Chongzhen didn't want to make a big move, or he didn't want to directly weaken the power of Dongchang and Jinyiwei, otherwise he wouldn't have retained Wei Zhongxian until now.

For the emperor, balance is a key, and the military ministers of the Ming Dynasty have long existed in name only, or since the Song Dynasty, the civil and military disputes have existed in name only.

The balance in the court has long been broken, and the civil official family is dominant, even to the point of controlling the imperial power. Ming Chengzu Zhu Di set his sights on the eunuchs, supported Dongchang and Jinyiwei, and became the emperor's private force.

Contain the civil officials, balance the court, and there is no danger of a big tail. Although there were many eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty, the end was very miserable, and it was basically a matter of the emperor's words to clean them up.

Emperor Chongzhen wants to clarify the court, and the old people of Weijiage must not be able to stay, and they are worried that the civil officials will become bigger and will not be contained, and it is very important to protect Dongchang and Jinyiwei.

The historical Emperor Chongzhen cleaned the court, and also cleaned the Dongchang and Jinyiwei, what was the result? The emperor's order out of the Forbidden City is not a matter of words, and there is no one who wants to find someone to do things, let alone someone to get money for Emperor Chongzhen.

Emperor Chongzhen asked Wei Zhongxian's body to be collected and buried thickly, probably because he wanted to understand what his eldest brother said to him.

Although Tian Ergeng and Xu Xianchun and others are ruthless, they are just a knife, and what they do depends on the thoughts of the person holding the knife.

Of course, Emperor Chongzhen will not be wishful thinking, and it is very important to investigate, which is also the reason why Emperor Chongzhen summoned Tian Ergeng into the palace.

These days are definitely a torment for Tian Ergeng, and Emperor Chongzhen has no attitude from beginning to end, except for the last time he found Xu Guangqi, he has never used himself again, and Tian Ergeng's heart is about to reach his throat.

Because of the explosion of Wang Gongchang, the ministers stopped for a few days, and these days they have begun to write to impeach the eunuchs.

Tian Ergeng can be said to be three shocks a day, his mouth is full of blisters, and his buttocks have boils, and it doesn't work after taking a few medicines, and he is restless all day. On this day, he was rubbing his cheeks, and Tian Boxian suddenly ran in from outside, with a happy face.

"What an adult, frizzy!" Glaring at Tian Boxian, Tian Ergeng said dissatisfied.

Tian Boxian stood still and said with a smile: "My lord, the emperor has a decree to announce that Lord Xuan will enter the palace!" ”

Slightly stunned, then Tian Ergeng stood up suddenly, and suddenly pulled the boil on his buttocks, grinned in pain, and said while rubbing his buttocks: "Really? Is it good news? ”

Nodding hurriedly, Tian Boxian said, "The emperor summoned him and said that he had something important to discuss. ”

Tian Ergeng walked back and forth in the house a few times, his face was cloudy, and finally gritted his teeth: "It's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided, anyway, it's already at this time, there's nothing to be reluctant to, change your clothes and enter the palace!" ”

Emperor Chongzhen frowned when he saw Tian Ergeng, the last time he saw Tian Ergeng, he wasn't like this, why was he so embarrassed?

Picking up his clothes and kneeling on the ground, Tian Ergeng saluted Emperor Chongzhen: "Minister Tian Ergeng, see the emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live!" ”

Looking at Tian Ergeng, Emperor Chongzhen didn't speak, and the night in the hall was silent, and the atmosphere instantly became solemn. The eunuchs and palace maids standing on both sides of the main hall lowered their heads, no one dared to make a little movement, and even breathed carefully, not daring to gasp and make a sound.

For a long time, Tian Ergeng was already sweating, on the one hand, he was nervous, on the other hand, it was also painful, and the boil that pressed on his buttocks.

Emperor Chongzhen said lightly: "Get up!" Come with me to meet someone! ”

Tian Ergeng was stunned, this is the end? He didn't dare to be careless if he wasn't enough, so he cautiously followed Emperor Chongzhen, walked around in the palace, and finally came to a relatively remote courtyard, where there were people around the door, and they were very tightly guarded.

Stepping into the courtyard, Emperor Chongzhen looked around, and said with a smile: "The environment is not bad, cold and quiet, it is a good place to recuperate." ”

Hearing Emperor Chongzhen say that he was recuperating, Tian Ergeng chuckled in his heart, and instantly thought of who Emperor Chongzhen brought him to see.

Just when Tian Ergeng was thinking wildly, an old man in a eunuch uniform walked out of it, crawled on the ground, and kowtowed to Emperor Chongzhen: "Slaves and maids see the emperor, long live the emperor, long live long live!" ”

Looking at Wei Zhongxian, who was in tears, Emperor Chongzhen ignored him, bypassed him and went straight into the house.

Tian Ergeng looked at Wei Zhongxian a little stupidly, is this still the famous nine thousand years old? The old man's hair in front of him was gray, scattered on his shoulders, and his originally meticulous beard was also entangled at this time.

The clothes on my body are all stained, and I don't know how long I haven't taken a shower, and there is a strange smell.

Looking at the back of Emperor Chongzhen, Tian Ergeng fought a cold war, maybe for Wei Zhongxian at this time, death is a relief?

Wei Zhongxian also saw Tian Ergeng, without the slightest embarrassment on his face, got up from the ground, followed Emperor Chongzhen into the house, lay on the ground and cried: "Your Majesty, it's all the slave's fault, the slave maid is blinded by lard, please let the emperor spare the old slave for the sake of the old slave who has served the emperor for many years!" ”

Emperor Chongzhen sat on the chair, glanced at Tian Ergeng who was standing at the door, gave him a meaningful smile, and then looked at Wei Zhongxian lying on the ground, and said with a smile: "When the first emperor was alive, he once told me that Wei Zhongxian can be of great use and can be entrusted with his heart. ”

There were only the gentle words of Emperor Chongzhen in the room, but it made everyone standing here shudder.

"I am thinking about the old minister, I know your merits and hard work, you are also an old man, I don't know if you are willing to help me?" Emperor Chongzhen's tone was very light, very light, and although the words were good, they were indifferent.

"The old slave is willing, the old slave is willing, for the sake of the emperor, the old slave is also willing to break his bones!" Wei Zhongxian was overjoyed, and hurriedly kowtowed like pounding garlic.

Emperor Chongzhen nodded with satisfaction, seemed to be very happy, stood up and said to Wang Chengen: "Change a place for Gonggong Wei, find a few palace maids and eunuchs to serve, let the imperial doctor take a good look, don't make any mistakes." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, the slave will do it!" Wang Chengen nodded and said respectfully.

Returning to the Qianqing Palace with Tian Ergeng, Emperor Chongzhen strode onto the dragon chair, threw a piece of the fold directly to Tian Erteng, and said loudly: "There is a fold here, Aiqing will see for herself!" ”

This is, of course, the impeachment of Tian Ergeng, according to what was said above, Tian Ergeng Ling Ling ten times is not a pity to die.

After reading the folds, Tian Ergeng sweated like rain, and hurriedly knelt on the ground, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the minister was deceived by Wei Zhongxian, no, it was Wei Gelding, Wei Gelding bullied the subordinates, and the minister had to do it as a last resort!" The minister is ashamed of his trust in the emperor and asks the emperor to punish him. ”

If Tian Ergeng still can't understand it at this time, he will be a complete fool.

The emperor didn't want to punish himself, otherwise his ten heads would not be enough to cut off, and the emperor also took himself to see Wei Zhongxian, telling himself that Wei Zhongxian had no hope of turning over, and made it clear that he gave himself a chance to choose.

Although Tian Ergeng pretended to be scared, he knew that his life should be saved.

"I give you an errand, you check for me, who has given Wei Zhongxian the most over the years, who is the richest, who is the richest, who is the richest, who is the most unkind, and who is the most evil." Emperor Chongzhen looked at Tian Ergeng: "Don't climb, don't bite, seek truth from facts." ”

"The emperor can rest assured, the minister will do his best!" Tian Ergeng hurriedly agreed and said loudly.

Emperor Chongzhen nodded, and said lightly: "Do it well, don't let me hope, otherwise Wei Zhongxian's today will be your tomorrow." ”

Tian Ergeng left, Emperor Chongzhen breathed a sigh of relief, beckoned to Fang Zhenghua not far away, and said with a wry smile: "Seeing that you want to talk and stop, do you think I shouldn't use Tian Ergeng?" ”

"Your Majesty, Tian Ergeng and Wei Zhongxian are deeply involved, and the slaves are afraid!" Fang Zhenghua glanced at the direction of Tian Ergeng's departure and said cautiously.

Waving his hand, interrupting Fang Zhenghua's words, Emperor Chongzhen rubbed his forehead, and said with a little helplessness: "I can't help it, now I am alone, how can it be so easy to find someone to do things for me!" ”

"Let's watch, see how Tian Ergeng chooses!" Emperor Chongzhen stretched out his hand and patted Fang Zhenghua on the shoulder, and said loudly: "Fang Zhenghua listens to the order!" ”

Fang Zhenghua beat a spirit, quickly knelt on the ground, and said loudly: "Slave Fang Zhenghua takes the order!" ”

"From now on, he will be promoted to Founder and become a eunuch of the celebrant and the eunuch of the official school of the Dongchang Academy, and the eunuch of the official school of the Governor of Qincha, Qin this!" Emperor Chongzhen said with a serious face.

Although he had long known that he was going to take over Dongchang, but the emperor finally made a holy decree today, Fang Zhenghua was a little excited, and said tremblingly: "The slave and maid receive the decree, long live my emperor, long live, and the slave and maid will definitely live up to the emperor's trust." ”

Emperor Chongzhen nodded and motioned to Fang Zhenghua: "Tian Ergeng can't be trusted, I can only rely on you to take Dongchang in my hands as soon as possible, and don't let me down." ”

"The slave must be a liver and brain!" Fang Zhenghua said solemnly.
