readx;??? In the palace, after Wen Tiren retired, Wang Chengen waited for Emperor Chongzhen to sleep, and it was already the middle of the night. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

However, the red man in front of the emperor did not have the slightest intention of sleeping, the whole person was extremely energetic, and walked out with a gloomy face, all the way to Cao Huachun's residence.

"Bang bang." Almost without any obstruction, he directly knocked on Cao Huachun's door.

Wang Chengen originally belonged to Cao Huachun's name, and he was Cao Huachun's confidant, and he followed the emperor in front of him over the years, and his status rose to the top, so he was naturally not as inferior to Cao Huachun as before.

However, Wang Chengen still has some respect for himself, the previous master.

"Oh, Princess." Cao Huachun opened the door in pajamas, and was also surprised to see Wang Chengen, but in just an instant, a smile returned to his face.

Wang Chengen is the most powerful and likable eunuch in front of the emperor, and he suddenly came over in the middle of the night, could it be that something big happened?

"Cao Gong." Wang Chengen lengthened his tone and said worriedly: "Don't joke about it, in front of Cao Gong, the lower officials don't dare to be officials." ”

"Come in, please." invited Wang Chengen into the room and sat down, and personally poured him a glass of water.

Wang Chengen drank tea, frowned, and said, "Gong Cao, it's not winter yet, why are the charcoal basins burning, your old man's problem... ”

"Ugh." Cao Huachun shook his head and said: "Our family has been feeling haggard recently, it seems that it is time to retire, my body is not good, I plan to survive this winter, and wait for the spring of next year to resign to Your Majesty, and I should also tell the old man to return to the field." ”

"Where is Gong Cao?" Wang Chengen wanted to continue, but was interrupted by Cao Huachun stretching out his hand.

"Jiang Liushi does not turn, how can the characters last long, no matter how long you hope for a long time, there will always be a day when your mental strength will decline, and when I leave, all the stalls in the inner palace and the outer court will be handed over to you, and the prince will have to work hard."

Wang Chengen is not modest. He arched his hand and said, "Please also ask Cao Gong to teach me." ”

Cao Huachun took two sips. His eyes narrowed slightly, he was silent for a long time, and said: "Now the country is shaky, and the emperor's heart is haggard. Cheng'en, you must not forget your grace. ”

"Don't dare." Wang Chengen bowed his head and said.

"Do you know why Lao Wei fell?" Cao Huachun's eyes flashed, and he looked at Wang Chengen with a smile.

Wang Chengen snorted coldly. said: "Wei Zhongxian, old dog, framed the first emperor first, and framed His Majesty last." If this kind of person doesn't fall, I'm afraid the sky won't be able to stand it. ”

Cao Huachun shook his head. "You, alas. Remember, everyone can do bad things. But it depends on whether it is beneficial after doing it, if it is beneficial to Your Majesty, it is beneficial to my Ming Dynasty. Even if our hands are bloody and we are in the name of filth, our family has no regrets. If it is not good for the country or the king, even if it is 110,000 good things. We don't. ”

Wang Chengen's pupils shrank, and he arched his hand and said, "My subordinates are taught." ”

"Hmm." Cao Huachun refilled the tea for Wang Chengen and said, "Chengen is looking for our house in the middle of the night, there should be a big event, right?" ”

"Cao Gong's eyes are like torches." Wang Chengen stood up and walked into Cao Huachun, and the two of them whispered to each other, telling Wen Tiren about Emperor Chongzhen this evening.

"Is that so?" Cao Huachun was taken aback.

"It's true, my subordinates know that Cao Gong and Zhu Changyuan have a lot of friendship, so they came to tell each other." Wang Chengen shook it.

Cao Huachun smiled but didn't smile.

Although Wang Chengen is grateful for his promotion, he will not come to him in the middle of the night to talk about this, in the final analysis, this product is also for himself.

Cao Huachun is about to return to his hometown, which is known inside and outside the palace, and once Cao returns to his hometown, Wang Chengen will undoubtedly be the next eunuch of Si Li Bingbi.

This is not the crux of the problem, the key is that the eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty had the right to approve the red, which is contradictory to the cabinet to a certain extent.

Wen Tiren is the first assistant of the cabinet, and he is deeply trusted by Emperor Chongzhen, and this person is the biggest obstacle to Wang Chengen's power in the future. Since Cao Huachun is leaving, why not borrow the east wind and burn a fire before he leaves.

It would be best if he could set the whole body of the cabinet chief assistant Wen Tiren on fire, and if it only burned his clothes, it didn't matter. Because although he has not received direct benefits, the loss of his opponent is his greatest benefit.

Cao Huachun looked at the fire from the cave, and after listening to Wang Chengen's words, he naturally saw it clearly, but he pretended not to know, and said: "Zhu Changyuan is a genius, and he is a good general in the country and the king. The Wen Pavilion Department has harmed him several times, but he doesn't know it. ”

"Exactly." Wang Chengen said.

"However, if you want to rely on Zhu Changyuan's strength alone to burn this fire on Wen Tiren's body, he doesn't have the ability yet." Cao Huachun looked at Wang Chengen for a few seconds and continued: "Thank you for the news, but there is no real evidence for what you said, and Your Majesty will not convict Zhu Changyuan." ”

Although Cao Huachun is a eunuch, he also knows that Zhu Changyuan's fame has a great influence on China, unlike the round dudu back then, people have been abandoned by the people before they die, so when Chongzhen was political Yuan Chonghuan, he almost did not encounter opposition.

But Zhu Changyuan is different, he has military merits, from the top to the high-ranking generals, down to the common people of Limin, many people are his fans, if he is rashly convicted, he will make trouble.

"In this way, I can rest assured."

From Cao Huachun's side, he failed to achieve his goal, Wang Chengen was naturally a little depressed in his heart, and said: "Cao Gong rests, his subordinates retire, and please atone for his sins when he bothers him late at night." ”

Cao Huachun saw that he was leaving, thought about it again and again, and finally sighed, and said, "You, you, come here, sit down." He pressed Wang Chengen on the chair and said, "For the sake of your usual loyalty to the monarch and the country, our family will help you again." ”

"Thank you, Gong Cao." Wang Chengen couldn't care about the little Jiujiu in his heart that was completely seen through by others, and he looked at Cao Huachun deeply.

Cao Huachun said: "If you want to suppress Wen Tiren's arrogance, there is one you want to visit." Maybe he can really help you? ”

"Who?" Wang Chengen couldn't wait to ask.

Cao Huachun smiled slightly and said, "Of course, it is the sworn enemy of the Wen Pavilion Department, the one who was the left waiter of the Ministry of Rites eight years ago, and the one who is now in the prison of the Criminal Department." ”

"You mean?" Wang Chengen suddenly realized.

"This person was jointly pitted by Zhou Yanru and Wen Tiren back then, not only has he had no hope of entering the cabinet from then on, but he even had a career cut off, if anyone in this world has evidence of Wen Tiren's corruption and perversion of the law, it is him."

After Cao Huachun finished speaking, he smiled.

"But this person was the leader of the Donglin Party back then...

"So what, now you are using him to burn Wen Tiren, not to let him come back into the cabinet."

"My subordinates understand!"

After Wang Chengen left, Cao Huachun ignored the cold, picked up the red lady's watch given to him by Zhu Changyuan, looked at it in front of him, and said, "It's ten o'clock." He put on his clothes and went out.

Cao Huachun went out, naturally to report to Zhu Changyuan.

This kind of thing is really not suitable for the eunuchs under his command to pass it on his behalf, and he can only run it in person if he is wronged.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Therefore, not long after Zhu Changyuan sent Zhang Yan away, Cao Huachun came to knock on the door.

Invite this old guy into the living room, see him shivering with cold, and ask, "Cao Gong is hurt by the cold?" ”

Cao Huachun shook his head, and the little eunuch who came with him below said, "Gong Cao is in poor health and can't stand the cold. ”

Zhu Changyuan was taken aback and said: "That Cao Gong came to the lower mansion late at night in the cold, really, it really made the lower officials grateful, and the lower officials couldn't repay it." ”

"Ahem." Cao Huachun coughed twice, waved his hand and said, "It's okay, our body is a little afraid of cold, but there is nothing else wrong with it." He looked left and right and asked, "Chang Yuan can bring a charcoal brazier to warm the house." ”

Zhu Changyuan smiled bitterly and said, "I'm really sorry for Gong Cao, the new residence has not yet survived the winter, and these things have not been prepared yet." "Let Po Lu move the stove for burning tea from the outside to the hall, and put it next to Cao Huachun.

Cao Huachun rubbed his hands while roasting the fire, his body warmed up a lot after a while, and said to the three little eunuchs he brought with him: "You go out first, and I'll talk to Master Zhu about something." ”

A few of the little eunuchs bowed down and withdrew, closing the door tightly.

Zhu Changyuan glanced at Po Yu, and Po Yu went out, on the one hand, he didn't eavesdrop, and on the other hand, he watched those eunuchs and didn't let them run around.

"Chang Yuan, your disaster is near, don't you know it?"

Cao Huachun drank it as a stick.

Zhu Changyuan was stunned, secretly said Nyima, Lao Tzu was a queen, and it was less than half an hour before and after, and someone came to arrest me, this queen is really ruthless.

In his heart, he couldn't admit it in his mouth, so he smiled and said: "Xiaguan has always been honest and honest, and he never dared to do illegal things. ”

Cao Huachun said: "This is not a villain, an adult." ”

At that moment, he told Zhu Changyuan all the ideas that Wang Chengen told him.

Zhu Changyuan breathed a sigh of relief and said secretly: It turned out that it was not Zhang Yan, it was Wen Tiren, who wanted to rectify Lao Tzu on a dog day, this guy who was going to set up an archway, when did Lao Tzu offend him?

But it's also a little relieved to think about it, and the things people say seem to be true.

"The platform edict is right, the platform edict is right!" Zhu Changyuan muttered to himself twice, and suddenly asked Cao Huachun, "Duke Cao knows why His Majesty is making an edict on the palace platform." ”

It stands to reason that not to mention that he is only a six-grade master, even if it is a five-grade and four-grade, such as Xue Lianqian, it is impossible to be qualified to go to the platform.

It was a place where the first, second, and third-rank officials went to talk about state affairs with the emperor.

"The Sacred Heart is unfathomable." Cao Huachun said a word, and said: "The platform edict is right on the morning of the day after tomorrow, our family can only help you with the limit, we can only give you a breath in advance, Chang Yuan, you should prepare well." ”

At that moment, Zhu Changyuan asked Cao Huachun a few questions about the platform's edict, and Cao Huachun answered them one by one.

The two chatted for a few more words, and then they heard the report from Po Lu: "General, someone outside the door asks to see him, claiming to be a businessman from Huizhou, and saying that he and the general are old acquaintances. ”

Huizhou businessmen, still old acquaintances?

Old acquaintance, probably Gu Changzuo's grandson sold Lao Tzu, and this businessman came to run his own department store. (To be continued.) Intranet unique URL:
