Chapter 0005: The Stratagems of the Township Cadres
Hanmei stands proudly, and thousands of flowers compete for beauty! The Imperial Garden is a sea of flowers, a fairyland on earth that is indisputable with the world!
Zhu Youzhen was in this sea of flowers, listening to the sound of the spinning wheel coming from the courtyard not far away, and seemed to have suddenly found the ambitious self he once was! What qualifications does a man have for a man if he can't give his wife the most basic environment to live in a peaceful environment? Facing this boundless sea of flowers, Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen fell into a deep meditation.
Wang Chengen didn't know what the emperor was thinking when he stood outside the queen's courtyard, but without the emperor's orders, he didn't dare to lean over, so the palace maids and eunuchs were waiting in the distance.
"Princess, the emperor has just approved the matter of letting the daughter out of the palace, what do you think should be done?" Kebaba led Xu Yingyuan, another great eunuch beside Emperor Chongzhen, to ask Wang Chengen together.
"Yes, Brother Chengen, look at the emperor's attitude towards Father-in-law Wei and Mrs. Ke? Mrs. Hakka is gone, how to settle the maids and eunuchs in the palace? "Although Xu Yingyuan was Emperor Chongzhen's original eunuch in King Xin's mansion, he had long worn a pair of pants with Wei Zhongxian, and Emperor Chongzhen and Wang Chengen knew about this.
Wang Chengen sighed, his calm old face did not have a trace of waves, and smiled, "Father-in-law Xu, Mrs. Fengsheng, the saint is the saint, the power of heaven is unpredictable, we should not speculate on the saint's intentions!" However, with the experience of the old slave waiting for the emperor for more than ten years, the emperor will definitely reuse Grandpa Wei! Otherwise, the emperor's character is as jealous and hateful! ”
Xu Yingyuan nodded, and said to the guest, "Madam, yes, you can leave the palace with peace of mind, it is best to go cleanly, and take away the leaders of the palace ladies and eunuchs of your cronies, so as to leave a good impression on the emperor, and it is best to let Gonggong Wei take down a group of godsons who have more opposition from the ministers, we are all close ministers of the emperor, and we should solve problems for the emperor." ”
Wang Chengen knew that Xu Yingyuan was saying this to himself, so he didn't say anything about it, but just nodded lightly.
This is not the case! Of course, Kebaba knew the weight of Wang Chengen's words at the emperor's place, and thought that he was about to leave the palace! also wanted to curry favor with Wang Chengen, "Princess, you are the head of the house!" Of course, I should change a group of cronies, and I will hand over the list of leaders promoted from me to you, you and Brother Xu, Brother Wei, those are all good friends, and I will take care of my daughters more in the future. ”
As he spoke, Ke Baba put a 10,000-tael silver ticket that had been prepared into Wang Chengen's sleeve pocket.
Wang Chengen hurriedly took out the silver ticket, "Mrs. Fengsheng, this old slave can't afford it, you are Mrs. Chitose!" Torment the old slave. ”
Kebaba affectionately pushed back the silver ticket, and Xu Yingyuan also followed along to persuade, "Brother Chengen, everyone eats palace meals, and they will all be friends in the future." ”
Wang Chengen smiled and nodded, "Even so, the old slave is not in vain, thank you for the reward of Father-in-law Wei and Mrs. Fengsheng, rest assured, I can conclude with my experience of serving the emperor for more than ten years!" Even if the emperor can't reuse Grandpa Wei and Mrs. Fengsheng like the Emperor of the Apocalypse, he definitely has no thoughts of harming each other! The key depends on what Grandpa Wei and Mrs. Fengsheng did? ”
Xu Yingyuan and Ke Baba both breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, with Wang Chengen's words, it was almost the same as what the emperor himself said directly! Wang Chengen is a roundworm in the emperor's stomach, who doesn't know? Kebaba went with a thousand thanks.
Kebaba is also an elite among women! I did it when I thought about it, but it was not ambiguous, and I moved out of the palace on the same day, wrapped the hair, nails and other things I kept the Emperor of the Apocalypse into a delicate purse, and turned into a beautiful purse in front of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and cried a lot, and then went out of the palace and returned to her residence comparable to the palace, which was given to her by the Emperor of the Apocalypse!
As soon as he returned to the palace, a tribute silk sent by the emperor also arrived.
Wei Zhongxian, Ke Baba and Xu Yingyuan looked at this silk horse with solemn expressions, these elites who have been deceiving me in the deep palace all their lives can't guess the emperor's intentions!
Xu Yingyuan said with a smile, "Factory father, we should still relax, at least the emperor's actions show that the emperor still respects the factory father." ”
Ke Baba left the palace, and gradually walked out of the emperor's influence, regained his senses, and shook his head, "This emperor is not simple at all, I am out of the palace, and now we have no influence in the palace at all!" It's completely the emperor's fish! ”
Wei Zhongxian nodded, "Neither so optimistic nor so pessimistic, the old man is in charge of hundreds of officials!" There are also those proud soldiers and fierce generals who control the soldiers and horses of the world! Even if you insist on knocking the old man down! Then the world of his Zhu family will also be broken! According to the old man's analysis, the little emperor has some means, but he wants to stabilize the old man in this way, let the old man complete the transfer of power for him, and dream! ”
Xu Yingyuan arched his hand and said, "The factory is high, but the emperor asked you to take 700,000 taels of silver out tomorrow, what should I do about this?" ”
Kebaba also groaned, "Also, it seems that the emperor is very dissatisfied with Brother Wei's godsons, listening to Wang Chengen's tone today, it seems that he wants us to abandon the car and protect the handsome!" ”
Xu Yingyuan also nodded yes, "I heard it too!" Wang Chengen follows the emperor all day long, and his words are basically the emperor's words. ”
Wei Zhongxian thought about these two thorny questions, his head ached, and he covered the white-haired old man, "No matter what, since the emperor has a showdown, this is giving us a step!" Go ahead and arrange to raise all the money now! ”
Xu Yingyuan was taken aback, "Does the factory really want to give the emperor silver?" Doesn't that mean you've made so much money? Moreover, we don't have so much silver in our hands, right? ”
Wei Zhongxian glared at Xu Yingyuan, "Confused! Today, the emperor said in front of the three auxiliary ministers, as long as the old man takes out the 700,000 taels of silver, he will never mention the matter of the previous dynasty again! This is not only for the old man alone, but also for the entire court! This matter will not be mentioned in the future, and he will not turn over the old accounts of the previous dynasty! Let those bunnies raise money now! No matter whether you give so much tomorrow or not, tonight, you must make up 700,000 taels of silver! ”
Kebaba asked softly, "Who are you going to let be the scapegoat?" ”
There is a reason why she asked like this, she is really afraid that this old gelding will turn his face and not recognize people! It's not impossible to kill yourself and flatter the emperor!
Wei Zhongxian glanced at Kebaba and shook her hand with a smile, "Don't worry, no one is willing to move you?" Okay, since the emperor wants a scapegoat, let's give him a big one! Didn't the emperor think about commanding his troops to fight? Commanding the army to fight, he thought it was a child playing at home? Let's throw Cui Chengxiu, the secretary of the military department, out! Xu Yingyuan, immediately find a speaker to impeach Cui Chengxiu and rectify it to death! ”
Kebaba and Xu Yingyuan were shocked! Cui Chengxiu is the old man's number one general! It is the head of the five biao and five tigers! One of the most powerful officers in the old man's hands!
Wei Zhongxian glanced at the two of them, and the wrinkled old face smiled faintly, of course he understood the thoughts of the two people, "Don't blame the old man for being ruthless!" First of all, if you don't throw out Choi Chengxiu, everyone else is not enough! can't let the emperor understand our sincerity! As long as the life is left! No matter where the old man is, he is sent to exile, and the old man's influence is still enough to control the government and the opposition! Besides, the highest level is not the most powerful! Although Cui Chengxiu is the secretary of the military department, he can actually mobilize a limited number of soldiers and horses! And the soldiers and horses around the imperial city are all from noble backgrounds, and at the critical moment, whether they will listen to us is unknown! Do you understand? ”
Xu Yingyuan and Kebaba listened to Wei Zhongxian's explanation, and they both admired the five-body throwing, and they were a little relieved, and they were even more frightened of the old man's ruthlessness! That's your godson! Throw it out, it's like talking about a pile of garbage!
Wei Zhongxian thought for a while, "Since you want to show favor to the emperor, you have to do a full set of plays!" Don't alarm Choi Cheng-so! Let the official write the impeachment today, and find all the evidence! Don't give Cui Chengxiu a chance to react, this kid has a lot of incriminating evidence in his hands! "Saying that, I made a poisoned assassination move!
Xu Yingyuan nodded, "Then, what about Cui Chengxiu's family property?" ”
"It's all to the emperor! Don't move a penny! If you are willing to give up, you will have to give it! As long as you save your life, there will always be a time to make a comeback! As he spoke, Wei Zhongxian slipped into the Hakka family's inner room with a wide robe. The Hakka hurriedly flattered him.
The words are divided into two ends, the Ke family and Xu Yingyuan have just left, Wang Chengen has a big matter that the emperor needs to make his own decision, this replacement of the chief eunuch and palace maid in the palace is not a trivial matter! hurriedly went to the emperor for instructions, but found that the emperor was still standing outside the imperial ** courtyard in the imperial garden, looking like he wanted to go in, but he didn't dare to go in, which was very strange.
Wang Chengen said cautiously and softly, "Your Majesty, you haven't gone in yet?" Do you want the old slave to report to the emperor? ”
Zhu Youzhen waved his hand, "Don't worry about my idle affairs in the future." ”
Wang Chengen was taken aback, the power of heaven is unpredictable! I found that the little emperor was getting harder and harder to serve! Hurriedly knelt down, wept bitterly and said, "The old slave is guilty, and the old slave deserves to die." ”
Zhu Youzhen looked back curiously, and then remembered that he was now the king of the Ming Kingdom again! should no longer speak in the way of the previous life when he was the head of the township, "Get up, Wang Chengen, the next holy decree, whoever dares to cry in front of me in the future is guilty of bullying the king!" ”
Wang Chengen's face was full of old tears, his shoulders couldn't help but shrug in fright, the tears were still falling, but he didn't make a sound, but he didn't dare to continue crying! This ability to cry at any time and not cry at any time made Zhu Youzhen admire it very much.
"Obey, the old slave doesn't dare to disturb the emperor, but Kebaba moves out of the palace, is the palace going to start purging Kebaba's comrades?" Wang Chengen wiped his tears and said what he wanted to ask the emperor.
Zhu Youzhen nodded, "This is a tricky matter!" She has been in the palace for many years, and it is impossible to clean people up all at once! And if we are in such a hurry to eradicate the eunuchs in the palace, we will startle the snake again! If you don't do it early, it's not safe, so you let Xu Yingyuan do it yourself, send all the people out of the palace and send them to her house, she has a big place there! ”
Wang Chengen was stunned, "Your Majesty, Xu Yingyuan is also Wei Zhongxian's person!" ”
Zhu Youzhen smiled, "I know, otherwise how can I not make the eunuchs suspicious, but also be able to clean up the people who are Kebaba?" issued a holy decree to let Xu Yingyuan temporarily act as the chief eunuch! Xu Yingyuan is Wei Zhongxian's person, but he is not Wei Zhongxian, everyone is selfish! If he feels that he has a chance to replace Wei Zhongxian, do you say, is he still Wei Zhongxian's person? Moreover, with you watching in the palace, no matter how many people Xu Yingyuan promotes, they are all newly promoted, is it more convenient to eradicate them than to directly eradicate the people who are Kebaba? ”
Wang Chengen has been shocked too much today! It seems to be all numb! Emperor, emperor, you have been scheming since your mother's womb, and you won't be so old and spicy, right? Wang Chengen felt that he was an old man who was about to be sixty years old, and compared to the emperor who had just turned sixteen years old, he couldn't even reach one of his feet! I kowtowed to the emperor convincingly, "The old slave understands, the emperor is shengming!" ”
The sound of spinning in the courtyard stopped, making Emperor Chongzhen's attention turn!
Zhu Youzhen hurriedly waved his hand, "Look at it yourself, you are my big companion, I don't believe who do you believe?" ”
Wang Chengen said yes lightly, with the emperor's big companion, it really makes the old eunuch more intoxicated than any position in the world! These things, naturally, he went to charge for the emperor! Everything has to be dealt with by the emperor, so what else do you want him to do as a big companion?
