Chapter Seventy-Six: Storming Beijing (Part I)

Zhu Cheng ordered the captives to be brought down, and said in his heart, this Jinyi Wei news does have unpredictable powers, and he only caught the captives last night, and he will come to pick up people this afternoon.

Xu Xianchun hurriedly walked into the lobby, and was about to speak, but now that there were all people around, he arched his hand and said, "Lord Zhu, please take a step to speak." ”

Zhu Cheng nodded, and brought Xu Xianchun and his guards into the second hall with Zhu Youzhen, he didn't think that Zhu Youzhen was an outsider, and he had something to hide from the future emperor, so there would really be something wrong then.

Xu Xianchun looked at Zhu Youzhen and asked, "This ......"

Zhu Cheng said: "This is my best friend and dearest brother, I believe in the prince Zhu Youzhen, and I don't have to hide anything from him." ”

Zhu Youzhen nodded heavily, as if to prove the authenticity of Zhu Cheng's words.

Xu Xianchun has lived in the capital for a long time, and knows that Zhu Cheng and Zhu Youzhen are good friends, so he doesn't ask anymore at the moment.

He dodged and let go of the person behind him, and said, "Master Zhu, who do you think this is?" ”

Zhu Cheng carefully looked at the handsome scholar behind Xu Xianchun, and felt that his face was vaguely familiar, but he had never seen such a person in his impression, so he shook his head and said: "Very kind-faced, I don't know where I have seen it." ”

The scholar smiled: "Brother Cheng, if you have a daughter-in-law, you don't even want your mother." ”

Zhu Cheng was still confused, but Zhu Youzhen recognized that this scholar was Wei Honglian, threw himself into her arms and shouted, "Aunt Wei, why are you here?" ”

Wei Honglian touched Zhu Youzhen's head lovingly, and said with a smile: "Even Brother Zhan'er recognized me, why can't you recognize me." ”

Zhu Cheng's ability to recognize people is too poor, but Zhu Youzhen's "Aunt Wei" woke him up.

Zhu Cheng said a little embarrassedly: "Mother Wei is heroic, Cheng'er doesn't dare to admit it." ”

Zhu Cheng's words made Wei Honglian a little fluttery, she turned around in place and said, "Really? ”

This time, Xu Xianchun's eyes were straight. Zhu Cheng glanced at him, and now he tried his best to hide the affection in his eyes. Zhu Cheng came from later generations and did not have a rigid concept of chastity, and he believed that since Wei Honglian's husband had died, then she had the right to pursue happiness.

Xu Xianchun is a talent, and he is very capable, and he can be regarded as Wei Honglian's good couple. In the future, my tasks will become heavier and heavier, and it is impossible to stay in the children's paradise for a long time, and I can rest assured that I have someone to take care of Wei Honglian.

Zhu Cheng was about to speak, when a voice like a silver bell came in: "Aunt Wei has come to see Qingqing, I'm so happy." ”

As she spoke, Ke Qingqing walked into the second hall and saw Wei Honglian, who threw herself into her arms and rubbed her head incessantly.

After making out for a long time, Ke Qingqing saw that Wei Honglian came in with a very handsome man, so she gave him a blank look, stood between the two, and tried her best to block Xu Xianchun's sight.

Xu Xianchun coughed lightly and said, "Wei Honglian, let's get down to business." ”

Ke Qingqing said sourly: "Why are you so affectionate, you want to call Miss Wei." ”

Wei Honglian ignored Ke Qingqing's inexplicable hostility towards Xu Xianchun, her eyes turned red, and she said, "Brother Cheng, save grandpa." ”

Zhu Cheng hurriedly said, "What's wrong with Grandpa Wei?" ”

Wei Honglian said: "The Donglin Party impeached Father-in-law Wei for twenty-four major crimes and forced the emperor to kill him. ”

Then, Wei Honglian choked up and introduced the two things in the court, how the Donglin Party was impeached, what the crime was, how the emperor responded, how the Donglin Party pressed step by step, how to guard the palace gate, and the thrilling encounter of leaving the capital. Some of these things were told to her by Xu Xianchun on the road, and some were seen by her own eyes.

Zhu Youzhen didn't have a good impression of Wei Zhongxian, and wanted to persuade Zhu Cheng not to make a move, but because of Wei Honglian's presence, it was inconvenient to say it directly.

Zhu Cheng saw that Zhu Youzhen wanted to speak and stopped, and knew that he did not see the essence of the Donglin Party's impeachment of Wei Zhongxian, but thought that Wei Zhongxian deserved it, so he said: "The 24 major crimes of the Donglin Party's impeachment of Wei Gonggong are basically fabricated, and they can be summed up in one sentence, Wei Zhongxian has too much power, and the Donglin Party is very unhappy. In fact, in the battle between officials and eunuchs, I prefer eunuchs. The eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty have loyal ministers, good generals, and of course, there are also people who bring disaster to the country and the people, but whether they are traitorous or loyal, they have one thing in common, that is, they are loyal to the emperor. We have heard of the elders of the Three Dynasties, or even the Elders of the Four Dynasties and the Patriarchs of the Five Dynasties, but we have never heard of the eunuchs of the Two Dynasties. The power of eunuchs is given by the emperor of the dynasty, and they can only gain greater and longer power if they are loyal to the emperor of the dynasty, so eunuchs are often more loyal than ministers. Gonggong Wei is the most loyal person to the emperor in the Ming Dynasty. Ah Jian, just now we interrogated and learned that many ministers of the Donglin Party accepted bribes from Jiannu, but there were none of the people from Gonggong Wei, right? ”

Zhu Youzhen nodded, and doubts also rose in his heart, could it be that the Donglin Party really impeached Wei Zhongxian for fairness and justice?

Zhu Cheng continued: "Actually, Wei Zhongxian is not exercising his power, although he has the power to stamp the cabinet seal, but the emperor does not nod, his seal does not dare to be stamped. The Donglin Party spread rumors that Wei Zhongxian took advantage of the emperor's carpentry to be fascinated by the emperor's carpentry and gave the emperor a piece of music for approval, and the emperor handed over the decision to him. In fact, as long as you think about it with your brain, you know that this is absolutely impossible, once or twice, the emperor will think that this eunuch is ignorant, and do this many times, won't the emperor replace this guy who is a big scene? Besides, the emperor has a clear separation between work and entertainment. Ah Jian, you are most familiar with the emperor, do you say that the emperor will indulge in carpentry and give up state affairs? ”

Zhu Youzhen shook his head, he was completely confused, who is loyal and who is traitor in this court?

Zhu Cheng said: "The Donglin Party has rich experience in infighting, why don't you know that Wei Zhongxian is the emperor's shield?" The emperor implements benevolent government, which has nothing to do with Gonggong Wei, the emperor wants to do one or two things that lack morality, and this is all done by Gonggong Wei. ”

Zhu Youzhen pulled Zhu Cheng's clothes and protested in a low voice: "Brother Ah Xiao won't do bad things." ”

Zhu Cheng was stunned, he was used to it, he couldn't change it, and suddenly forgot that this was in the feudal era, and his speech was not very free, so he hurriedly said: "Ah Jian, I'm just making an analogy." Father-in-law Wei is indeed very greedy, but more often than not, Father-in-law Wei is the emperor's shield. If the Donglin Party wants to overthrow Gonggong Wei, it is actually to take away the power in the hands of the emperor and control the government from now on. If there was a person like Zhang Juzheng in the Donglin Party back then, it would be fine, but now the Donglin Party can't collect taxes, disaster relief, or military affairs, and they can't do anything except infighting. You see, wherever the Donglin Party intervenes, it will be a mess......"

Zhu Youzhen pondered for a long time and said, "That's ...... Brother Cheng saved Father-in-law Wei once? ”

"Ah Jian, are you going? If you go, we'll go back to Beijing together. ”

Wei Honglian interjected: "Let Ke Qingqing go too, her aunt is Ke Baba, the wet nurse of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, let Ke Baba come forward, maybe it will have a miraculous effect." ”

Zhu Cheng didn't want to have too much to do with Ke Yinyue, he turned to Ke Qingqing and said, "Qingqing, do you want to go?" You don't have to go, I can do it alone. ”

It's a pity that Ke Qingqing didn't understand his hints, she was extremely uneasy about Xu Xianchun, so she said: "I want to go, I want to protect Aunt Wei from being bullied by some people." ”

After speaking, she glared at Xu Xianchun fiercely. Xu Xianchun felt Ke Qingqing's obvious hostility, and was surprised in his heart, this was the first time they met, they didn't recruit her and didn't provoke her, why did they hate themselves so much, could it be that I was too handsome? Alas, being handsome is also a sin.

In order not to attract the attention of the Donglin Party, Zhu Cheng decided to leave all the brocade guards brought by Xu Xianchun in Huangzhuang and replace them with the elite of the year that he had cultivated for five or six years. In this way, Xu Xianchun went out of the city at noon, and how many people entered the city in the afternoon, and it was easy to get through the test in confusion.
