Chapter 17: Let's play the top ten boards first
The last time he came to Wei Zhongxian's home in Tieshi Hutong was in the middle of the night, he came and went in a hurry, and he didn't bother to appreciate it, this time it was noon, and Zhu Cheng took a good look at the mansion of the next generation of powerful traitors.
When he came to the living room, Wei Zhongxian was sitting on the Taishi chair, and a young man with a beautiful face was beating his legs.
Seeing Zhu Cheng's visit, Wei Zhongxian stood up happily, hugged him, and said happily: "Good grandson, let grandpa come and see, have you grown taller?" ”
Zhu Cheng's mouth was very sweet, and he asked for warmth, which made Wei Zhongxian's heart warm, and said, "Come, let me introduce you, this is my nephew, Liangqing." ”
Zhu Chengxin said: "Damn, I was cheated by you again, he is your nephew, isn't he my uncle, alas, it's really unlucky." ”
Zhu Cheng bowed his hand to Wei Liangqing and said, "Hello." ”
Wei Zhongxian saw Zhu Cheng's reluctance, knowing that he was arrogant and unwilling to be short of Wei Liangqing's generation, so he said: "Zhu Cheng, you are the grandson of the emperor, don't talk about the seniority with Liangqing, just call him by age." ”
Wei Liangqing also arched his hand to Zhu Cheng and said, "Brother Zhu, hello." ”
Zhu Cheng looked at Wei Liangqing carefully at this time. To tell the truth, the genes of the Wei family are really good, this Wei Liangqing looks like a talent, because he was just picked up from the countryside, and he still has a simple face. Zhu Cheng couldn't help but sigh secretly, if Wei Liangqing had been following Wei Zhongxian, he would have become a second ancestor who could only walk birds and lackeys, which could be regarded as a pearl secret investment.
Wei Zhongxian said: "Let's talk about it later, I don't particularly understand the three strategies you talked about yesterday, Zhu Cheng, you come with me to the secret room and tell me in detail." ”
Zhu Cheng had no choice but to go to the secret room with Wei Zhongxian.
After some secret talks, Zhu Cheng had a deeper understanding of Wei Zhongxian.
Wei Zhongxian is a very capable person, and Zhu Cheng gradually has a sense of bosom friend with him. Many things, as long as Zhu Cheng is a little bit, Wei Zhongxian will immediately understand, and he can draw inferences from one another. If he is not a eunuch, he may not be able to become a famous face like Zhang Juzheng.
During the Apocalypse, the largest temple group - the Temple of the Ming Ancestors, the largest transportation facility - the Daming Bus Factory, the largest municipal organization - the Daming Cleaning Factory, and the largest financial institution - the Daming Bank were born in this secret room.
After the state affairs were discussed, Wei Zhongxian took Zhu Cheng's hand and felt a little sad: "Zhu Cheng, Zhu Cheng, you will definitely be the most promising person in my Wei family, but unfortunately Emperor Shenzong ordered you to change your surname to Zhu, and you can never change back to your original surname." ”
Seeing the sad expression of the old man, Zhu Cheng thought that although this old man was greedy and vicious by nature, he had also made great efforts to maintain the government of the Ming Dynasty, and his heart was hot, so he said: "Grandpa Wei, the first son and the first daughter I gave birth to can be surnamed Wei." ”
Wei Zhongxian's eyes lit up, his heart was full of surprise, but he scolded with a smile: "Little monkey cub, I started thinking about women before my hair grows." ”
Zhu Cheng said: "I will have three wives and four concubines in the future, and I will never stop until I have enough sons for a hundred sons." ”
Wei Zhongxian revealed the true colors of the power traitor: "In the future, if you like a girl from any family, just tell your grandfather." Even if it's a fairy in the sky, I'll catch it for you and have a round room with you. However, have you ever thought about throwing yourself into the emperor's door. The emperor favors you very much, if you can cast yourself under the emperor's door, you will enter the picture, and the future is limitless. ”
Zhu Cheng said: "I have promised the emperor that I will always follow Ah Jian." ”
Wei Zhongxian knew that Zhu Cheng was resolute, sighed, and stopped persuading.
The two came to the living room. The table of the Eight Immortals in the living room has been filled with delicacies, what beasts in the mountains, swallows in the clouds, cattle and sheep in 6 places, fresh under the sea of cattle and sheep in 6 places, monkey head bird's nest, shark fins, bear's paws, dried scallops and deer tail tips, only what you can't think of, nothing you can't see.
Although there are many dishes, there are only four people sitting at the table of the Eight Immortals, Wei Zhongxian, Wei Honglian, Wei Liangqing, and one is Zhu Cheng.
Wei Zhongxian advised everyone to have fun and drink happily.
Wei Honglian knew that Zhu Cheng didn't like to drink, so she had already prepared honey water for him. Although there were subordinates to serve, Wei Honglian still took care of Zhu Cheng's task, either helping him peel the crab shell or giving him vegetables.
Wei Zhongxian said jealously: "Red Lotus, why don't you take care of me so wholeheartedly." ”
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Wei Zhongxian said: "Today's banquet for you is mainly to introduce you and Liangqing to get to know each other, and I also want Liangqing to find a position under you." ”
Zhu Cheng secretly said in his heart, could it be that Wei Zhongxian didn't trust himself and wanted to mix sand into his team?
Zhu Cheng looked up at Wei Zhongxian, and saw that his face was kind, just like a father who was looking for a career for his son, so he asked: "Grandpa Wei holds the East Factory and controls the Jinyi Guard, it is easy to put Brother Wei in any department, why should he be placed in my team?" ”
Wei Zhongxian sighed: "In the capital, I have a lot of power. Liangqing is by my side, and there must be countless people who tend to be inflammatory, let him go astray, and ruin this child. Put it there with you, I feel relieved to have you watching him. ”
Zhu Cheng said: "Grandpa Wei, I told the emperor that I would lead troops to fight wolves." My army is going to see blood, swords and guns have no eyes, is Grandpa Wei at ease? ”
Wei Zhongxian said: "Wealth is sought in danger. You are my grandson, I am relieved that you will go to war, don't you rest assured that Liangqing? ”
Zhu Cheng turned to Wei Liangqing and said, "Brother Wei, are you willing to be a soldier in my thousand households?" ”
Wei Liangqing said: "Yes." ”
Zhu Cheng snorted: "Come on." ”
Several guards guarding the door entered and said, "Lord Qianhu, what's the matter?" ”
Zhu Cheng said: "Drag Wei Liangqing down, hit ten boards, remember, really fight." ”
The Ming Dynasty's playing boards were divided into three levels, playing, playing hard, and playing with heart. The so-called beating is to lift it high and fall lightly, and after the beating is over, the beaten person can stand up and walk like no one else. After the fight, the beaten person will not be able to recover his vitality without recuperating for a few months. Hitting with heart is to fight to the death, and often after a few boards, the beaten person dies of anger.
Wei Honglian hurriedly persuaded: "Brother Cheng, don't be like this, don't forget about Liangqing, don't beat him." Liangqing is my father's nephew, your relatives. ”
Wei Zhongxian exclaimed: "Zhu Cheng, you ......"
The green tendons on the back of Wei Zhongxian's hand were rising, and a wine glass was actually pinched by him.
Zhu Cheng was beside him, and said, "What are you still doing in a daze, isn't it easy for me, the Lord of a Thousand Households, to give orders?" ”
The guards didn't dare to delay and put Wei Liangqing down, and soon the sound of "popping" wooden boards hitting the flesh and Wei Liangqing's screams came from outside.
Wei Zhongxian glared at Zhu Cheng and asked, "Zhu Cheng, in terms of position, I am the factory duke of Dongchang, and I am in charge of Jinyiwei, so I am your boss." In terms of seniority, I am your grandfather. I recommend a person to you, don't say it for the time being, how can there be a reason to play the top ten boards first? It's still a real fight. ”
Zhu Cheng said: "Grandpa Wei, I have several purposes for this board, the first is to defeat Wei Liangqing's arrogance. Wei Liangqing is your nephew, who is clothed and fed, and it is inevitable that he will be proud and contaminated with the habits of some sons, and it will be difficult to grow up if he does not experience setbacks. In the future, if you violate discipline in the army, it will not be a problem that can be solved with a few boards. The second is to hide our relationship. We can't put our eggs in the same basket, and if Grandpa Wei stuffs a person into my army lightly, our relationship will inevitably make others suspicious. ”
Wei Zhongxian sighed and said, "Zhu Cheng, your mind is meticulous, but your heart is too hard, after all, he is your relative." ”
Zhu Cheng said: "The dark tide inside and outside the court is surging, if my heart is not hard, those people will gnaw me to the point that there are no bones left." ”
Wei Honglian and Wei Liangqing are cousins, but they don't usually interact much. She persuaded Zhu Cheng not to beat Wei Liangqing because she was afraid that Wei Zhongxian would be angry, and now that the two were talking happily, she stopped talking. She poured Wei Zhongxian a glass of wine and poured Zhu Cheng a glass of honey water. The two clinked glasses and drank them all.
At this time, the guards had finished their executions and brought Wei Liangqing back, only to see him sweating profusely, tears and snot flowing together, how could he still look like a son.
Zhu Cheng asked, "Do you still want to join Jinyiwei and be my subordinate?" ”
Wei Liangqing's voice was weak, but his tone was firm: "Think!" ”
Zhu Cheng asked: "I ordered someone to beat you, do you hate me in your heart?" ”
Wei Liangqing said: "A little bit." But then I wondered, is there something I am not suitable for being a brocade guard, Lord Zhu wants to wake me up and let me correct it. ”
Zhu Cheng stared at Wei Liangqing's expression for a long time, and said, "You soldier, I will accept it and be my personal guard." ”
After speaking, let the guards carry Wei Liangqing down to apply the medicine.
In fact, there is a third and most important reason why Zhu Cheng beat Wei Liangqing's board, which is to try Wei Liangqing's quality. His troops were his home, the warmest and safest place in the world, and he didn't want to let a snake go in.
If Wei Liangqing can't stand the suffering after playing the board and doesn't want to join Jinyiwei, it means that he is greedy for life and afraid of death, and Zhu Cheng will at most let him guard the children's paradise and will not reuse him; If he is flattering, it means that he is good at disguise, and Zhu Cheng will stay away; If his expression is vicious, it means that he has ill intentions, and Zhu Cheng will refuse without hesitation.
And now Wei Liangqing's expression is a little inexplicable, a little angry, and a little submissive, which makes Zhu Cheng feel that he is a manufacturable material, after all, he is his relative, and it is best to be a personal guard.
Next, the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves, although they did not drink, Zhu Cheng felt drunk.
In the evening, he had to go to Ke Qingqing's house, he would never have imagined that there, he would meet an unexpected person, someone who might destroy his relationship with Ke Qingqing.
