Chapter Ninety-Five: Suspicion
Chapter 95: Suspicion
These words, Wei Zhongxian is from the bottom of his heart, he also has some admiration for Yue Su, although Yue Su is also a party now, but in this year, if you don't form a party and don't have your own strength, then it will be difficult and you can't do anything, so forming a party is actually not a shortcoming. On the contrary, Yue Su is now full-fledged and deeply favored by the emperor, but he did not take advantage of this to impact dissidents.
In the Ming Dynasty, however, no matter how powerful you are, there are vetoers, and there are people who scold you, you must know that those who scold the emperor are unbearable, let alone scold the minister. Dare to scold Wei Zhongxian, Wei Zhongxian's city made it difficult for him to die, but Yue Su seemed much more generous, if you scolded me, I would not hear it, and I would not pay attention to you, what should I do. And if you dig deep in the soft soil, then you don't have to wait for me to come back home.
Lord Yue is always country-oriented, always doing practical things, and not making money, people have such power, and they can do this, which is something that many big people have not done.
"Duke Wei is warm, how dare Su not order, and he will be disturbed when the time comes." If Wei Zhongxian was willing to leave this place of right and wrong, Yue Su would naturally be happy, firstly, he was a person with less constraints, and secondly, he could be regarded as completing the emperor's explanation to himself.
In the morning of the next day, Zhu Youxiao asked Wei Zhongxian to read the holy decree in front of hundreds of officials, and the decree was very clear, so that the crown prince Zhu Ciyan would succeed to the throne, and Yue Su would be the minister of Tuogu. Within two days, Zhu Youxiao, who had been in power for seven years, died at the age of two or three.
After his death, he was nicknamed Ming Xizong, and Zhu Ciyan, who was less than five years old, ascended to this supreme throne. What does a child like Zhu Ciyan know, of course, it is his mother Empress Zhang who is in charge. When the new emperor ascends the throne, he has to change the name of the new era, but the year of succession will still be the seventh year of the Apocalypse, and it will only be changed next year. But the year name is a big event, of course, to think of a good one, after the Manchu Dynasty civil and military consideration, finally set a name called Chongjing, the New Year is the first year of Chongjing.
On the day of Zhu Ciyan's succession, a decree came out from the Forbidden City, which was issued to Zhu Youzhen, the king of letters, so that he did not need to stay in Beijing, and rushed to the fiefdom immediately, and the decree was still carried out immediately.
What does the will mean, fools understand that as soon as Zhu Youxiao died, although Zhu Cizhen was the first heir to the throne, Zhu Carpenter's younger brother Zhu Youzhen was also regarded as the second heir, what did you mean if you were always in Beijing and didn't leave. Fuck off.
sent Zhu Youzhen away, and within two days, Wei Zhongxian submitted his resignation, implying that he was too old to be reused, and planned to return to his hometown for retirement. The Hakka family also submitted his resignation, but hinted that he would wait until after the funeral of Carpenter Zhu before leaving, and this feeling would never disappear.
Zhang Yan is now in power, and you, Wei Zhongxian, naturally take the initiative to retire, that is the best, and it will save me an order. Immediately agreed, and agreed that Wei Zhongxian would return to his hometown. As for the Hakka family, it doesn't matter, Zhang Yan was annoyed when she saw her, so she simply approved it directly, don't wait for the first emperor to be buried, you can leave directly, and on the day of the first emperor's burial, I will notify you to participate.
In this way, the two powerful figures during the reign of the carpenter emperor withdrew from the stage of history. After Wei Zhongxian retired, he felt a sense of relief, the millions of family fortunes he had accumulated over the years could completely allow him to return to his hometown to enjoy the blessings and become a rich man.
Hou Guoxing and Tian Ergeng are all gone, and what they are still doing are all retreating, Hou Guoxing naturally followed his mother, but Tian Ergeng still followed Wei Zhongxian. Wei Zhongxian fulfilled the original promise that Lord Danyue went to the Duke of Wei's mansion for a banquet, but it was all the rage.
"What? Yue Su went to Wei Zhongxian's mansion as a guest? ”
In Cining Palace, Zhang Yan, who has now been promoted to the queen mother, is puzzled by the news she has just obtained.
"Queen Mother, this is true, didn't you let you keep an eye on Wei Zhongxian's mansion, but you saw Lord Yue's mansion with your own eyes." A eunuch has an authentic heart.
"Yue Su, what does this mean? Hasn't he always been at odds with Wei Zhongxian, why did he suddenly have the interest to go to his mansion. Is this just a send-off? By the way, do you know how long Yue Su stayed in the Wei Mansion and left. Zhang Yan asked.
"There can be more than an hour." The eunuch replied truthfully.
"It's been so long...... Zhang Yan sank for a moment and said, "Is there any other news?" ”
"Not anymore."
"Then you go down first, continue to stare at the Wei Mansion, by the way, and then send a clever person to Yue Su to keep an eye on it." Zhang Yan said.
"Yes, Queen Mother."
After the eunuch went down, Zhang Yan's heart became curious, "What is this Yue Su doing in the Wei Mansion for no reason, if he sees him off, he won't stay for an hour, is it to discuss some confidential matter." If you can't do it, Yue Su is now the minister of Tuogu, and he is already considered to be in power over the world, how can he discuss important matters with a powerless person. But...... Wei Zhongxian has been in power for a long time, and he has a lot of wings under his hands, Yue Su doesn't want to take it for his own use, if so...... He's powerful enough to be endless......"
Zhang Yan was originally a clever person, but she was too clever, she was not in the center of power in the past, and some things could be cleared by bystanders, but when she was in power, she was the government.
"Now Yue Su is the minister of Tuogu, the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty, either his old department, or his protégé, otherwise he is the person who is vassal of him, and the person who insists on him, there are too few. In the Forbidden City, Gonggong Wei has just fallen, and the remaining Liu Mingguo has a very close relationship with Yue Su, if they join forces, my child's position will be unstable. Once Yue Su strung Wei Zhongxian's wings together, his strength would be even greater, and it would be even more difficult to clean up. Zhang Yan pondered for a long time, and finally made up her mind, "The Ming Dynasty belongs to my son, and no one can take it away." Before he grows up, I, as a mother, have the responsibility to protect this country for him. No one should think that we orphans and widows are easy to bully. ”
After Wei Zhongxian stepped down, the vacant position needed to be filled, whether it was the position of the eunuch who held the seal of the celebrant or the eunuch of the East Factory, it was coveted by countless people. But there are only a handful of people who can really qualify for these two positions.
Liu Mingguo is now the eunuch of the ceremonial supervisor Bingbi, and he also covets the errand of the palm print, if he can let him combine the errand of the commander of the East Factory, it would be great. In terms of seniority, I am qualified enough now.
Liu Mingguo, who thought he could succeed Wei Zhongxian, miscalculated this time, and the appointment decree issued by Empress Zhang surprised him.
The eunuch Zou Yi was transferred to the eunuch of the horse eunuch and the eunuch of the palm seal of the celebrant and the commander of the East Factory. As for the errand of the eunuch in charge of the imperial horse eunuch, Zhang Yan transferred Cao Huachun, who was excluded by Wei Zhongxian in the past, from Nanjing to take over.
With Zou Yi's qualifications, it is impeccable to be the master of ceremonies, Liu Mingguo is full of dissatisfaction, but he is helpless. But what made him even more helpless was still to come, within a few days, Empress Zhang merged the east and west factories in the name of overlapping responsibilities and unwarranted waste of funds, and unified the east factory for adjustment, and the affairs of the imperial engineering team in the past were handed over to Zou Yi in charge. In this way, Liu Mingguo was left with the title of eunuch of the ceremonial eunuch.
The personnel adjustment in the Forbidden City is all a sentence from the master of the palace, although Yue Su is a minister of Tuogu, he doesn't speak, he can only look at it.
The current situation is already clear, by cutting off Liu Mingguo's authority, Empress Zhang's jealousy of Yue Su can be revealed, and some young people seize the opportunity to immediately go out together to impeach Yue Su. The crime is pampered and arrogant, and bends the law for personal gain. The main reason for bending the law for personal gain is that Yue Su tried his father-in-law in the past, he deliberately pretended to be sick, sold his reputation, and played with the first emperor in applause, which is simply a heinous crime.
When Zhang Yan arrived at the impeachment recital, she did not speak, but returned to the cabinet and let Yue Su see it himself. In fact, these twists and turns were only sent by the cabinet, Yue Su had already seen it, and he also thought about Zhang Yan's attitude, and after he arrived, he already knew it in his heart. This is the Empress Dowager Zhang's second vaccination.
He received the great favor of the carpenter emperor, and he had promised him to die for the Ming Dynasty, and what was it to be wronged, so he smiled, and he was still busy with what he should be busy with.
The courtiers who impeached Yue Su saw that the stone sank into the sea, and once the situation was cleared, although the queen mother was jealous of Yue Su, but now she had to eliminate it, so let's wait for another opportunity. In this way, the city of Beijing stopped again.
After Wei Zhongxian left, Yue Su had heard of everything that happened, and the one who had such foresight was Wei Gonggong.
Drinking in the Wei Mansion that day, Wei Zhongxian went straight to the point, the adults came to our mansion, and within half a day, the news would reach the ears of the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother seems to be clever, but she is only a bystander, and if the government is concerned, she is bound to be suspicious. The adult is the minister of the orphan, the first emperor is important, and there are many clear names, the queen mother will naturally not be embarrassed by the adult. But the big profit is too great, so don't you call for jealousy, especially if the other party is still an orphan and widow. After Wei left, the position of the eunuch in charge of the eunuch, as well as the lack of eunuchs in Dongchang, whether or not Liu Mingguo would be given, and the most likely thing to follow was Zou Yi's old fox.
It was too accurate, everything was expected by Father-in-law Wei, and in the end, Father-in-law Wei also reminded Yue Su of a sentence, "Beware of Fang Congzhe." ”
The city of Beijing fell into calm again, until the day of Zhu Youxiao's burial. On this day, Zhang Yan really invited Ke Yinyue to come. As a result, the guest is gone, but there is no return.
