Chapter 1397 - Asking for Money
"You...... Are you also going to vote for Zhao Jin? Wei Zhongxian hissed and asked.
"That's natural!" Wei Guangwei responded without hesitation, "Since the imperial court doesn't plan to give students a way out, can't students still find a way to survive on their own?" Although Zhao Jin's guy is vicious, I think he is the lord of the world, since he wants to have the world in mind, then he naturally needs to help him take care of the courtiers of the world......"
"The one Zhao Jin likes is different from the one you read!" Wei Zhongxian retorted.
"It's different, but it's the same." Wei Guangwei smiled lightly, "Since ancient times, our scholars have learned to become literary and martial arts and sell them to the emperor's family, and the emperor of the Zhu family wants us to learn the Four Books and Five Classics, so we will learn them, isn't it to be officials?" As long as he Zhao Jin is willing to give the official, isn't it easy for me to wait for scholars to learn the scriptures he gave? The student is already old, and he can't learn much if he wants to learn more, but the student's son can go to study, and he can study well, so that he can use it smoothly! As long as Zhao Jin can do it for my family officials, I can learn anything! Those who are stupid in reading are not sensible, but how can students be the kind of people who do not understand current affairs? ”
In front of Wei Zhongxian, a former Ming cabinet minister talked eloquently and exposed his thoughts to him without any scruples.
Receiving the emperor's grace, he was planning to change his family and join Zhao Jin. And I didn't feel ashamed at all.
Most of them are readers...... Wei Zhongxian sighed in his heart.
As long as they do it for the officials, how can they care who the master is?
"So, father-in-law, you see, the lost eastern corner of the harvest of Sangyu, although we have been defeated in the Ming court, but God is pitiful, we still have other ways to go." Wei Guangwei's smile became deeper and deeper, "And it's not that the student hasn't done anything during this time, the student has already communicated with a senior official under Zhao Jin, and they are willing to let me wait to vote!" In that case, father-in-law, why don't we just become a minister of the dragon?! ”
"From the Dragon...... Do you think Zhao Jin can become a dragon? Wei Zhongxian held back the anger in his heart.
"How can he not become a dragon? Who else in the world can become a dragon but him? Could it be that the young son of heaven in the capital is like a real dragon? Wei Guang smiled even deeper, "Father-in-law, you and I have both upheld national politics, do we still need to fight between us?" What is the appearance of Daming now, don't you and I still know? Since the army that my father-in-law painstakingly gathered was led by Zhao Jin and went down in an instant, can the imperial court still be able to gather another army? Even if they are gathered, can they win against Zhao Jin? Now that the Ming Dynasty is no longer saved, the establishment of the state outside the border has been eroded, and the Xuzhou thieves are even more powerful and uncontrollable, I can't wait to find a way out sooner, do I still have to wait to be slaughtered by the imperial court? ”
Wei Guangwei's words made Wei Zhongxian speechless for a moment.
When he was in power, Wei Guangwei was in charge of the state affairs with him, because he was a minister who was directly responsible, so he probably understood more about national affairs than himself, since he said that the Ming court had no hope of recovery, it was probably really hopeless.
Unexpectedly, he had already started to look for a way out so early and hooked up with Zhao Jin's people.
A Wei Guangwei is so, that
Don't...... Did Zhao Jin really become Cao ****?
Even so, is there really a reason to betray the imperial court?
"Father-in-law, make a decision early! Time is running out, and when the Son of Heaven decrees that people will come after you for your life, then everything will be over! Seeing that Wei Zhongxian was speechless, Wei Guangwei continued to make the final persuasion, "The student just can't bear to see his father-in-law being poisoned by those Donglin children!" As long as my father-in-law nods, I will find a way to rescue my father-in-law today, let's go and vote for Zhao Jin together! That Chongzhen Heavenly Son only sent two people to hold his father-in-law hostage, and the student guaranteed that he would be able to rescue the father-in-law in peace......"
At this time, Wei Zhongxian finally understood Wei Guangwei's intentions.
He wanted to go to Zhao Jin, and then offer himself as a gift.
He did this, first, he really missed the kindness he had given him at that time, and he couldn't bear to watch himself being executed by the Son of Heaven; Second, he also wants to raise his own value on Zhao Jin's side and get him better treatment from the new master.
Pathetic, lamentable.
Donglin is a group of misguided people, how many righteous people and gentlemen are there on his side?
It's all the same, it's all the same, these courtiers and doctors only have home in their hearts, and where is there a country?
Not only Wei Guangwei, even if he is a powerful minister in the DPRK now, I don't know how many of them are secretly smuggling with Zhao Jin!
In Wei Guangwei's expectant eyes, Wei Zhongxian was silent for a long time, and then slowly shook his head.
"Uncle Xian, I have received your wishes, but I don't want to do this."
"Father-in-law?" Wei Guang was slightly taken aback, obviously not quite understanding why Wei Zhongxian did this.
"First Emperor...... The first emperor treated me well, and I couldn't bear him. Wei Zhongxian lowered his head and said sullenly.
"First Emperor...... The first emperor treated his father-in-law well, but his father-in-law also did his best for the first emperor, so where is he sorry for the first emperor? ! Wei Guangwei hurriedly persuaded, "Besides, now that the first emperor has died, how does the new emperor treat his father-in-law?" The father-in-law loyally defended his Ming dynasty, but he did not distinguish between loyalty, treachery, virtue and foolishness, and put his father-in-law to death! In that case, why should the father-in-law sit still? ”
"Our family has received such a great favor from the first emperor, even if the new emperor does not live with our family, there is nothing to say, if the Son of Heaven wants to do it, then do it." Wei Zhongxian said calmly, "Our family is a rough man, a eunuch, and what we pay attention to is to repay our kindness, the son of heaven of the Zhu family has given our family such a great kindness, how can our family not repay each other!" ”
This sarcasm made Wei Guangwei's face slightly red.
"The student said this for his father-in-law, and if the father-in-law didn't listen, he would still make sarcastic remarks...... Why are you so ignorant? Could it be that the Zhu family has become like this in the world, and the father-in-law has no responsibility? ”
"That's right, our family is responsible, so our family is willing to take this responsibility. But what about you? Back then, our family relied on you to govern the country, but as a result, the world was chaotic, the people were poor, natural and man-made disasters continued, hungry people were wandering around, and many came to Beijing! Do you dare to tell us that you are not responsible for it? Wei Zhongxian squinted at the other party and sneered slightly, "Our family is responsible, don't you need to be responsible?" You and so on to corrupt the world, but the result is a fluttering sentence to understand the current affairs, and then vote for the new master, this kind of evil thing, our eunuchs don't want to do it, you wait for the scholars to do it, but you are tired of doing it! You...... What's the difference between you and those Donglin children! ”
This pair of old partners, at this time, because they disagreed, looked at each other angrily, and the atmosphere suddenly became very tense.
Yes, since they were upholding the country at that time, they were responsible for the corruption of the country, and who could easily and skillfully escape it?
"Father-in-law, the student is talking for you!" After a long time, perhaps because he felt that he couldn't convince Wei Zhongxian anymore, Wei Guangwei had no choice but to sigh again, "Okay, since my father-in-law is unwilling to adopt it, then I won't persuade him anymore, everyone has their own ambitions, and there is no way." ”
Although he said so, he was quite unconvinced by Wei Zhongxian's words in his heart.
Since ancient times, scholars and doctors have said that the family and the country are all over the world, and the family is in front of the country, as long as the family can be kept, why care about the country? Anyway, even if there is a change of dynasty, the emperor still needs someone to help him be an official, right? Not to mention Zhao Jin, even if Jiannu's Huang Taiji comes, what can he do? When the Jin people occupied the land of Hebei, weren't countless people begging to take the imperial examination of the Jin people?
After all, Father-in-law Wei is still only from a small family, and he doesn't understand this truth.
"Okay, Uncle Xian, you're right, everyone has their own ambitions, now that it's come to this point, our family can only take care of ourselves, you can do whatever you want, our family can't manage it." Wei Zhongxian looked away, it seemed that he didn't want to talk to him anymore, "If you're okay, go back first." ”
Seeing that he had given the order to expel the guest, Wei Guangwei was stunned again.
His meaning is very clear, I don't care what you want to do, but don't persuade me to vote for Zhao Jin.
After such a parting, I'm afraid that in the future, it will really be different from each other......
After all, they have worked together for many years, and they have received his kindness, how can he just let it go completely?
"Father-in-law, don't be in such a hurry!" He took Wei Zhongxian's hand.
"What? Are you still going to forcibly hold our family hostage and pull it in front of Zhao Jin to show merit? Because his hand was scratched a little painfully, Wei Zhongxian looked at the other party coldly.
"Father-in-law thinks too much!" Wei Guangwei hurriedly let go of his hand, "How could a student do that kind of thing?" Isn't that just a reason to underestimate the students over there? Besides...... My father-in-law is already like this now, even if I kidnap my father-in-law, what can I do? Father-in-law, I just want you to listen to me first, since the best policy is not used, then the father-in-law can also use the middle strategy to save the emergency! ”
"What's the middle point?" Wei Zhongxian asked casually, but there was no longer the expectation just now.
"The middle strategy is to scatter wealth and save his life, and find those courtiers with humble and generous coins, and let them take the money to speak for his father-in-law, as long as the public opinion in the court is reversed, then the father-in-law will have a way to live." Because he was in a hurry, Wei Guangwei's speed of speech was very fast, "But it's not urgent, those Donglin children hate their father-in-law, and they may not turn around so quickly to speak for their father-in-law, so they still need to be both rigid and soft, and threaten with the criminal evidence that their father-in-law had before...... In addition, the risk of this strategy is greater than that of the previous policy, because the Son of Heaven hates his father-in-law very much, and if the Son of Heaven insists on doing it, I am afraid that even if the public opinion of the court changes, it will be difficult to change the ......"
"I've already given that money to Donglin." Wei Zhongxian calmly interrupted him.
