The person who spoke was Gonggong Zhang, who worked in the East Factory and was the most well-informed. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info Although the Jinyi Guard is not as good as before at the moment, and the cavalry can't get out of the Beijing Division, they still know a lot about the things in this capital realm.

"Oh, what's going on with this Liu Xu? Please tell me about it. ”

Gonggong Zhang turned his head to look at Wang Chengen: "Gonggong Wang, then I will speak for you on my behalf?" ”

"There is labor, there is labor!" Wang Chengen also wanted to know what information this person had that he didn't know, so he just nodded and smiled.

"In that case, brother, let's talk to the big guy." Gonggong Zhang is a good talker, and now that everyone loves to listen, he immediately opened the conversation: "If you want to say that this Liu Xu is really a character, he made such a big noise in Jiangnan, and he brought down Wei Zhongxian, not to mention, he also tried Suzhou Mansion and killed Wang Zaijin!" At present, the people are crazy, and they have everything to say, and they say that he is the reincarnation of Zhuge Kongming, and he wants to vote for the emperor and re-do Nalongzhong's right; It is said that he is a pure yang real person, who wants to help the poor and protect my Ming dynasty for 800 years; It is said that he is the doppelganger of Yunzhongzi, and he was entrusted by the emperor to remove the remnants of Chiyou for the Ming Dynasty, the northern expedition to build slaves, and the southern attack on the Buddha Lang machine. These legends are not only true, with noses and eyes, but also made up a script! Especially the "Legend of Xuanyuan Ping Demon", which tells the story of Liu Xu's predecessor Yunzhong Ziping Demon Extermination, which has been compiled more than 50 times and has become a long commentary - according to the brothers, there may be legends of fools and fools themselves, but eighty percent of them still have people to make a name for him and cheer him on! ”

"I also know this, especially the section of 'Cloud Neutron Divine Power Opens the Three Realms, and the Earth Tibetan Buddha Wishes for Empty Hell', which is really well written, really good!" Zhao Gonggong is still a person who likes to listen to stories, and he is talking about his itch right now, so he can't help but sing a finale poem:

Tianxian Avenue is the most chic, and Xuanyuan Dao is never fake.

Plant the World Tree with a wave of your hand, and knock on the life and death barrier with both fists.

The whole body is full of light and light is a hundred steps, and there is no one in the world to scatter beans into soldiers.

Educate the emperor and guide the child, and create vitality and real people.

Wang Chengen was not interested in this commentary, so he just asked repeatedly: "Let's not talk about these false things, let's just say what he did when he came to Jingshi - I heard that he intercepted Wei Zhongxian's convoy, cut Wei Zhongxian hundreds of knives, and chopped a big living person into meat puree!" Do you know how the officials in the capital reacted? ”

"Reaction?" Grandpa Zhang squirted out from his nose: "How can these soft bones react, it's not that I'm scared to death!" When Wei Zhongxian was alive, they slapped their horses more aggressively than one another, and now Liu Xu, the killing god, has come to Jingshi, and no one is sleeping with a heart, for fear that tomorrow the gate will be surrounded by scholars, and he will also chop people alive like Wang Zaijin, or chop people into meat like Wei Zhongxian! ”

"It's not like this - he is still a literati after all, Wang Zaijin's crime is unforgivable, he will kill him if he kills it, no one says anything, and everyone applauds killing Wei Zhongxian. But if they want to kill other literati, it is estimated that they will not do it. I have heard that he is currently living in the Nanzhi Guild Hall, singing and socializing with the high-ranking officials in the capital every day, going to various houses every day to eat, drink and have fun, and write a lot of good poems. And as long as he has this attitude, the Beijing officials don't have to be too afraid, which shows that he doesn't want to use the knife. And we don't have such a good treatment, I heard that there are already scholars who have demonstrated outside the palace, saying that they want the emperor to kill a large number of eunuchs! In the final analysis, our eunuchs have no status, so they are slaughtered by random people! Speaking of this, Gonggong Li sighed, this sigh aroused the same feeling of everyone, they looked at each other, and each other had the meaning of sadness for the death of a rabbit and a fox.

Wang Chengen also sighed secretly, this Liu Xu is so rampant, slashing Wang Zaijin alive, slashing Wei Zhongxian, but he only dares to deal with individual scholars, but if he wants to slaughter eunuchs, he is afraid that no one will support them except the emperor!

In the final analysis, they and the scholars will never be people of the same world, the scholars have the same age, have a teacher, and their only reliance is the emperor, if even the emperor's favor is gone, they will not be far from death!

Aren't Wei Zhongxian of this dynasty and Feng Bao of the previous dynasty the best examples?

Speaking of this, the atmosphere was a little awkward, and Gonggong Zhang also felt that something was not quite right, so he coughed and asked Wang Chengen: "What does the emperor mean?" He just let these scholars hold signs and mess around in Beijing every day? ”

Wang Chengen immediately smiled bitterly: "There are so many scholars, and they have the merit of defeating Wei Zhongxian, what else can the emperor do?" Don't let them hold up signs and shout slogans? That's slapping yourself in the face! The emperor has just overthrown Wei Zhongxian, and it is when he wants to make persistent efforts to liquidate the eunuch party, how can he offend the people of the world at this juncture! ”

"Even though that's the case, these gentlemen are really lawless! I heard that most of the scholars who followed Liu Xu to Beijing were only famous for their talents - think about it, if they really won the promotion and jinshi, they would either become officials or become gentlemen, who would still follow him to fool around! Our northern Xiucai, although there are also those who are rampant in the township, are not as powerful as these people after all, okay, a small Xiucai dares to blow his beard and stare at the court officials, and these talents dare not offend, so they have to laugh together, for fear of annoying them to call themselves eunuchs! Gonggong Zhang sighed with a somewhat incredible expression: "In the past, I just thought that this show was a small thing, something powerful, but now I look at it, once this show is united, even the important ministers of the court will not dare to provoke it!" ”

"Not really!" Gonggong Li also interjected, "What kind of newspaper they came up with, the most powerful, I heard that there are several issues every month, and the printing houses in Suzhou and Nanjing rotate day and night, printing hundreds of thousands of copies at a time, which are popular all over the world, and readers are rushing to see it, whoever can post an article on it will immediately become famous in the world!" And this newspaper is also very tight, saying that you are a eunuch, you are a eunuch, absolutely indisputable! ”

Wang Chengen listened to everyone's words, and gradually sketched a comprehensive plan of Liu Xu in his heart, which was to unite the hearts of the people in the world through castration, to attract the allegiance of scholars through what "village council", to criticize Song and Ming Dynasty through what Confucius reform, and to control the mouthpiece of public opinion through newspapers and commentaries. If there is no accident, this Ming Dynasty future leader of the literary world, a generation of scholars is him, such a person, if he is an official, he can definitely enter Fengchi, if he is in the opposition, he is definitely the prime minister of the mountain, and he can influence the country's major policies!

As everyone was talking, Gonggong Li suddenly seemed to remember something: "Do you know, Liu Xu led people to intercept Wei Zhongxian's convoy, which is the savings of this guy's life!" ”

Eunuchs all love money, after all, they have no offspring to rely on, and money is the only guarantee for their old age, so when it comes to the word "money", everyone mentions the spirit. Gonggong Zhang said loudly: "I only heard others say that this Liu Xu wants to give half of the money to the emperor, and keep half of it for himself to engage in a foundation, subsidize and publish posthumous works for the descendants of the Donglin Party, but no one says how much money there is, and there are as many as they can guess at the moment, from one million to five million, and some say that it is ten million taels!" I estimate that almost four or five million taels is enough, and it can't be so many! ”

Gonggong Li nodded and said with admiration: "It is worthy of Gonggong Zhang, it is really a clever calculation." I heard a little eunuch say that a scholar said that he had leaked his mouth at the wine table, saying that after they counted Wei Zhongxian's treasures, they almost looked like four or five million taels! ”

"Good boy, so many!" Although it is said that there are millions and tens of millions, but everyone here, including Wang Chengen, has a net worth of 100,000 is amazing, how have he ever seen so much money, so when Wang Chengen heard the figure of four or five million, a trace of hatred flashed in his heart - such greed and tyranny, he deserves to be defeated!

"Tut-tut", Zhao Gonggong sighed loudly, "This Liu Xu has been sent this time, four or five million taels of silver, and a small half has two million!" ”

"Do you think the money is his? Everyone in the world is watching! If he really uses it to subsidize the descendants of the Donglin Party, the people of the world can't say anything, but if he dares to swallow it himself, he is afraid that rats will cross the street in an instant, and everyone will shout and beat! ”

"I don't think he will do this kind of thing, people like him value a reputation for thousands of years, and he won't do this kind of thing, and if he becomes the first assistant in the future, I'm afraid that he won't have money? I can't take the money from this burning hand! ”

Wang Chengen did not say anything on this issue, he subconsciously thought that it should be profitable, otherwise how could Liu Xu, who has always been extremely shrewd and calculating, be thankless to be in charge of this foundation? He thought that even if he was not greedy for any money from this foundation, it would be very beneficial!

However, in addition to being able to use this foundation to gain fame, what are the benefits? Wang Chengen thought hard and couldn't come up with an answer, so he had to ask Liu Xi afterwards to see if he had any ideas.

Speaking of Shoufu just now, the eunuchs who are extremely sensitive to politics asked again: "Wang Gonggong, you are a close person to the emperor, I don't know if the emperor intends to make Liu Xu an official?" ”

Wang Chengen shook his head: "Let's not say well, on the one hand, the emperor thinks that this Liu Xu is amazing, and he has the demeanor of Zhang Jiangling back then. But on the other hand, this Liu Xu is too sharp, although it is a good thing to kill Wang Zaijin alive and kill Wei Zhongxian, but it is inevitable that he will not take the law of the court in his eyes, and it is inevitable that he will be suspected of buying people's hearts! Moreover, his doctrine is too shocking to the world, and many famous physicists have written to criticize this person, which is quite contradictory to the emperor at this time. ”

Zhao Gonggong came to the teacup for a short time, took a sip of tea, and said with a smile: "According to our family, this Liu Xu is really not a righteous gentleman, the emperor encouraged him to let him go back, let him go back to Jiangnan and make trouble with himself, don't come to Jingshi, otherwise according to his troublemaking method, he will have to turn Jingshi upside down!" ”

As soon as his words fell, Liu Xi hurriedly walked in and said in a low voice: "Master, the little eunuch came to pass the word, saying that the emperor was very satisfied with Liu Xu's continued handover of Wei Zhongxian's to the inner library, and felt that Liu Xu was a material that could be made. ”

"Smack!" With a crisp sound, Wang Chengen turned his head suddenly, but it was Zhao Gonggong who threw the porcelain cup in his hand to the ground in shock!
