Everyone scrambled to show their loyalty, trying to pretend to be heartbroken. They didn't believe that Wei Zhongxian would drive them away, they were just trying their loyalty. These dead eunuchs are basically cut off from their children and grandchildren, although some dead eunuchs will inherit their brothers' sons to inherit the incense, but after all, they are a little rusty, and they can be more at ease by accepting more godsons and godsons.

Although Wei Zhongxian is now in power all over the world, he is always a dead eunuch, how can he not accept his godson and grandson? It must have been that when the Donglin Party attacked the factory prince, his cousin was too bad, so he was angry.

When the Donglin Party besieged Wei Zhongxian, most of them could only stay in the big square outside the Jinluan Palace, and could not enter the palace to wave the flag and shout for Wei Zhongxian. However, when the ministers knelt down to force the palace, they maintained their dignity and stood straight among the kneeling ministers, like candles fluttering in the wind, although the light was weak, but they also provided some support for Wei Zhongxian. It's not that they don't want to change their courts, but the memory of the Donglin Party is too good, even if they surrender, they will be liquidated by the Donglin Party, it is better to be stubborn and fall to the bottom, and when the Donglin Party retaliates against themselves, they will break their steel teeth.

When the Donglin Party besieged the palace, they hid at home in fear, and some of them even packed the gold and silver at home, planning to send Wei Zhongxian on the road, abandoned the official and fled, wandering the world.

Thinking of this, they couldn't help but feel resentful: "We worked hard for you, supported you under the pressure of the Donglin Party, and did a lot of things for you openly and secretly." But it's good that you turn your face and don't recognize people when you get rich, and draw a line with us...... If we're in a hurry, we'll ...... Only...... There's not much that can be done. ”

When they first entered Beijing, they did not want to be involved in the party struggle, but only wanted to do something for the emperor in exchange for a noble reputation, a status admired by everyone and a comfortable life. However, the reality soon taught them a harsh lesson, and the party struggle between the DPRK and China was fierce, and they could not be left alone. The Donglin Party, the Qi Party, the Chu Party, and the Zhejiang Party are competing to attack each other, the party is the same and the party is different, offending one person, and the whole party is on the same page, and they will never stop if they don't beat you to the point that even your mother can't recognize you. Even Zuo Guangdou, who is known as a clear name in the DPRK, also said that he is not a member of the Donglin Party, although he is not virtuous.

They decided to defect to a certain party, but the Qi Party, the Chu Party, the Zhejiang Party, and other parties had a very strong regional color, and they were not fellow villagers and would never be co-opted. If you look for the Donglin Party, you must not only be educated and capable, but also have the consciousness of carrying the black pot. The high-level figures of the Donglin Party have integrity, but their ability to do things is debatable, and the lower-level officials who have entered the Donglin Party have to deal with the aftermath from time to time for the high-level leaders, and they have to help them bear the charge of ineffective work. Historically, after the Donglin Party took over the right to levy taxes, the tax was greatly reduced, and Shengsheng turned the wealthy Ming Dynasty into a poor flower that could not even afford military expenses. In the first year of Chongzhen, the Donglin Party worked hard to collect the tea tax, and received a total of 12 taels of silver from the tea tax in the whole territory of the south of the Yangtze River, and in the seventh year of the Apocalypse, the tea tax collected by Wei Zhongxian was 200,000 taels of silver. With such a big black cauldron, you can't find someone to carry it.

Wei Zhongxian is different, this dead eunuch is a very capable person, take refuge in him, as long as he listens to him and acts according to his orders, he basically won't do anything wrong, so he doesn't need to carry the black cauldron. Not only that, Wei Zhongxian is also a very generous dead eunuch, as long as he has some ability, he will vigorously promote him. In history, he tried his best to disagree and promoted Li Chunye from a nine-grade pedestrian to a second-grade military secretary, but unfortunately Li Chunye was afraid of the black pot after losing the battle with Jiannu, and only served as a military secretary for a year, so he used his mother to be too old and went back to his hometown to wait for his mother. From this incident, we can see Wei Zhongxian's righteousness. Moreover, Wei Zhongxian is still a magnanimous dead eunuch, and after his subordinates make mistakes, as long as they admit their mistakes, they usually will not be punished too much. Unlike the Donglin Party, where something went wrong, it was a catastrophe that caused the whole party to chase and fight fiercely -- this kind of political habit created a large number of enemies for the Donglin Party, which is also the reason why people often say that "the Donglin Party creates enemies to fight when there are no enemies."

Based on the above points, Wei Zhongxian's filial sons and grandsons still like this dead eunuch from the bottom of their hearts, and it is really difficult to find such a good godfather.

Seeing the sincere eyes of the filial sons and grandchildren, Wei Zhongxian sighed and said, "Our family knows what you think, but Zhu Cheng ...... No, it is our family who thinks that your loyalty to me does not need to be consolidated by kinship, although the Ming Dynasty governs the country with filial piety, but there are also disobedient people in the countryside, and the relationship between father and son may not be very strong. ”

One of the godsons shouted, "Factory Father, how can those village horsemen compare with us." We have all read books, and we know that our qiē today was given to us by the factory master, how could we betray you, the factory master. A few days ago, the power of the Donglin Party forced the ministers to kneel, but we stood straight like steel guns. ”

"Yes, it is precisely because you are scholars that Zhu ...... No, I think it is necessary to give you dignity, so that you do not leave a stigma in history. Aren't scholars often said that they are not afraid of broken bones, and they want to be left white in the world? ”

As soon as these words came out, some filial sons and grandsons couldn't help but bow their heads, and the unique temperament of scholars gradually surfaced in their hearts, who wants to be someone else's son? If it weren't for the Donglin Party pressing forward step by step, why would they have come to this point. When they dream back in the middle of the night, they occasionally worry about future stigma.

Wei Zhongxian lowered his head when he saw them, and said in a soft voice: "Our family is now in charge of the inner court and has a high position, are you afraid that our family will retaliate against you?" Rest assured, our family's words count, as long as you listen to our family's command and handle government affairs in an orderly manner, whether you are our children or grandchildren, our family will treat you as your own family. ”

These filial sons and grandsons pondered for a moment, and still thought that Wei Zhongxian was testing them—they had suffered a lot in this regard, and they did not dare to believe the words of others. What's more, the dead eunuch is generally narrow-minded and likes to tell lies and backwords, and if this time it is really a temptation, it will be bad. So, they showed their loyalty to Wei Zhongxian one after another.

A grandson shouted, "Master Changgong, we don't care about the infamy behind us. As long as we do things for the emperor, for the court, and for the factory princes, even if we are dug up and the graves are dug up, and the bones are scattered, we will admit it. ”

Wei Zhongxian smiled slightly, and was calculated by Zhu Youcheng again, these filial sons and grandsons would not believe their words, so he took out the second set of plans discussed with Zhu Youcheng, and said: "This godson, godson, our family will never admit it." However, under our command, there are still thirteen Taibao, are you willing? ”

The saying of the Thirteen Taibao originated from Li Keyong, the king of the Later Tang and Jin Dynasties, who named one of his own sons and twelve adopted sons as the Thirteen Taibao, which is a well-known thing. Later, in the romance book, many characters have received thirteen Taibao, which is equivalent to thirteen godsons, such as in "Speaking of Tang", the backer Yang Lin has thirteen Taibao, among which the most famous Taibao is the thirteenth Taibao Qin Qiong.

All the sons nodded in unison, and when the essence of the son had not changed, but he had changed his name to a nice name, and it had a good meaning, he readily agreed. But when the grandchildren heard it, there were only thirteen Taibao, and Wei Zhongxian's son already had more than ten, and the title of Taibao would definitely not be on his head, and they protested one after another.

Wei Zhongxian hesitated for a long time, he and Zhu Cheng only discussed how to place their godson, and forgot about their godson, but now it is not good to leave the table to discuss with Zhu Youcheng.

He pondered for a long time and said, "Little Taibao, you are called Little Taibao." We have 13 Taibao and 40 small Taibao. ”

The grandchildren clapped their hands and laughed together, and said in unison: "We are the little Taibao!" ”
