After walking to the gate, Wei Zhongxian's footsteps stopped again and instructed Sun Yunhe: "Go and invite the two adults of the cabinet Gu Wei, and say that our family has a big matter to discuss." ”

"Now?" Sun Yunhe hesitated for a moment and said, "It's not too late, I'm afraid that Lord Gu has already rested..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted impatiently by Wei Zhongxian, and said unhappily: "If our family asks you to go, you can go, what are you talking about!" ”

"Yes, Chitose, let's go and ask for it!"

Sun Yunhe was so excited that he didn't dare to say any more, so he hurriedly took a few brocade guards out of the alley and disappeared into the night.

Wei Zhongxian called Liang Dong again and whispered a few words to him, and after the latter heard it, he was stunned, then nodded, and hurriedly took the two little eunuchs and left the Wei Mansion.

Yuan Dahai didn't know what Wei Zhongxian was arranging, but seeing that the other party's face had been tense, he must have been arranging something to deal with the Donglin Party, but Wei didn't say it, how dare he ask, so he followed Wei with Cui Chengxiu one after the other and walked towards the mansion.

Coming to the Wei Mansion for half a month, this is the first time to really step into the Wei Mansion, as soon as he enters the second gate, Yuan Dahai's eyes are bright, only to see the courtyard full of courtyards, lights everywhere, reflecting the mansion extremely bright. The courtyard is like a Jiangnan garden, with ponds, rockeries, and pavilions, and the lights extend from the front yard to the back, and I don't know how many rooms there are.

Walking with Wei Zhongxian, from time to time a brocade guard flashed from the shadows, and then quickly disappeared, the vigilance was beyond Yuan Dahai's imagination. When he reached the edge of a long corridor and was about to turn to the east, Wei Zhongxian suddenly stopped again, turned his head to look west, and there was still a little concern on his face.

Seeing this, the eunuch who was waiting there hurriedly stepped forward and said respectfully: "Father-in-law, the young lady has rested." ”

Miss? Wei Zhongxian's daughter?

Listening to the eunuch's words, Yuan Dahai immediately thought of the daughter that Wei Zhongxian had with the Feng family when he was young, but it was not right to think about it, because from the age inference, Wei's daughter should be almost forty now, and the title of "Miss" is definitely not suitable for her, and if she wants to be called, she should also be called "aunt and grandmother".

If it wasn't the daughter born to the Feng family, who would this young lady be? Could it be the same as Cui Chengxiu and their gang, but Wei Zhi's goddaughter can't succeed?

Yuan Dahai was puzzled in his heart, and secretly looked at Wei Zhongxian's face, and when he saw that he just nodded, he whispered to the eunuch: "Tomorrow, you tell the young lady that our family has made an appointment with Madame Fengsheng, and we will take her to see the emperor in these two days." ”

The eunuch replied, "Yes, father-in-law, the slave has written it down!" ”

"Hangzhou has sent some new clothes that the young lady wears on weekdays, and you have carefully put them away, don't make any mistakes."

After Wei Zhongxian gave another command, he stopped staying, and walked towards the east first, and arrived at his study after a while.

As soon as he entered the study, Wei Zhongxian sat down, then picked up the teacup and was in a daze, without saying a word. Yuan Dahai and Cui Chengxiu didn't dare to sit down, and they both stood there cautiously. Li Yongzhen and Huo Weihua were not polite, the two of them sat in their original seats, and after they sat down, they didn't say anything to Wei Zhongxian, but they were both looking at Yuan Cui and the others.

called people in, but didn't say anything, Cui Chengxiu's heart was itching, and Yuan Dahai was also confused, not knowing what Wei Zhongxian was planning.

After waiting for half a pillar of incense, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the house, and a eunuch reported: "Qi Qi Chitose, Master Gu and Master Wei have arrived!" ”

As soon as he heard that someone had arrived, Wei Zhongxian's body moved, and he stood up with a "huo" sound, and couldn't wait to say, "Invite them in!" ”

There were two important helpers of Wei Zhongxian in the cabinet - Gu Bingqian and Wei Guanghui, the former entered the cabinet as a scholar of the East Pavilion, and the latter entered the cabinet as a scholar of the Ministry of Rites, ranking third and fourth in the cabinet respectively. The two have one thing in common, that is, they were excluded by the Donglin Party before they voted for Wei Zhongxian, especially Wei Guanghui, who was forced into the "Eunuch Party" array by Zhao Nanxing, a member of the Donglin Party.

Wei Guanghui was a jinshi in the thirty-second year of Wanli, and his father Wei Yunzhen had eight friendships with Zhao Nanxing, and the relationship was very good. In the first year of the Apocalypse, the official was the official to the Ministry of Rites, but because he was not a member of the Donglin Party, he has not been able to go further, and he has nothing to do with entering the cabinet. Therefore, in desperation, he took refuge in Wei Zhongxian in the second year of the Apocalypse, and with the help of Wei, he was able to successfully enter the cabinet and fulfill his wish.

After Wei Guanghui entered the cabinet, he did not do evil, on the contrary, he was very loyal to his own post and was not hostile to the Donglin party. He asked to see Zhao Nanxing three times, but Zhao Nanxing didn't see him once, and bluntly told him to get out, and even said when he met people, "I see that there is no child in the spring!" ”

Seeing the spring is the word of Wei Guanghui's father Wei Yunzhen, Zhao Nanxing now says that seeing the spring has no children, which is naturally very vicious, if Wei Guanghui is not angry, he is not a person. Since then, he has followed Wei Zhongxian with an iron heart, acting as his eyes and ears in the cabinet, and sometimes sending a copy of the cabinet's notes to Wei, and the copy of the copy reads "Cabinet Family Newspaper", obviously placing himself in the younger generation of Wei Zhongxian's own family.

Gu Wei and Wei were taken care of in the cabinet, and the first assistant Ye Xianggao was quite friendly to Wei, so the Donglin Party was successfully suppressed several times before and after.

……

"Xia Guan has seen nine thousand years old!"

As soon as Gu Wei and the others entered the study, they couldn't take a breath, so they invariably called "nine thousand years old", and it seemed that Sun Yunhe had already told them about the new title.

Hearing these two ministers also call themselves like this, Wei Zhongxian couldn't help laughing, his face that had been tense also eased, and he signaled that the two of them didn't need to be polite, and after sitting down to speak, he asked, "You all know the matter, right?" ”

Gu Bingqian nodded: "I've heard what Commander Sun said." ”

Wei Guanghui also nodded, but did not speak.

"What do you think?" Wei Zhongxian wanted to know what these two of his most important helpers in the foreign court thought of the Donglin Party's efforts to harm him.

Gu Bingqian was thinking about this on the road when he came, and he also thought of a good idea, so as soon as Wei Zhongxian asked, he said directly: "Chitose, now Ye Xianggao and Han Zhen, members of the Donglin Party, preside over the cabinet, Zou Yuanbiao, Zhao Nanxing, and Gao Panlong control the ministry, Zuo Guangdou, Wei Dazhong, and Huang Zunsu are the way to speak, half of the people in the court are Donglin Party members, none of these people are good, and they have long been dissatisfied with Chitose. I've wanted to put Chitose to death for a long time! Therefore, the lower officials think that there is no need to discuss this matter again, and they should be dealt with immediately, and Chitose must not have the kindness of a woman, and if it is decided, it will be decided, otherwise, it will be harmed! ”

Gu Bingqian was old and had gray hair, Yuan Dahai naturally recognized him, and after hearing his words, he couldn't help but nod secretly, saying in his heart Gu Bingqian is not stupid, otherwise Wei Zhongxian would fall, and he would not have to get out of the cabinet immediately.

I don't want Wei Guanghui to stand up after listening to Gu Bingqian's words, and categorically disagreed: "Before the matter is clarified, the prison is in vain, if the emperor blames it, who will be responsible for Chitose?" What's more, the Donglin Party members are not very evil, and it is a bit arbitrary to determine that they are going to harm Chitose based on rumors alone. The lower officials think that this matter has to be considered in the long run, and it must not be hasty, otherwise it will be unfavorable to Chitose if it is true! ”

Halfway to the end of the journey to bite the gold! Hearing that Wei Guanghui did not agree with Wei Zhongxian's deal with the Donglin Party, Cui Chengxiu was anxious, hurriedly stepped forward, and said to Wei Zhongxian: "Dad still remember, when the palace opened the internal exercise in the first year of the Apocalypse, the excerpt of Liu Zhifeng, the imperial history?" ”

Hearing this, except for Yuan Dahai, the people in the room changed color, Wei Zhongxian gritted his teeth, slapped the table and said hatefully: "Liu Zhifeng slandered our family and almost caused our family to lose their heads, how can I not remember this!" ”

Cui Chengxiu said again: "I'm afraid my father won't forget Liu Zhifeng's last words in the excerpt, right?" If the father can't remember, the son does! ”

Wei Zhongxian was just about to say that he remembered, when he saw Li Yongzhen get up and said, "If Liu Jin is ordered to hold 3,000 armor soldiers, can he be arrested?" ”

Silence, Li Yongzhen's words made the study fall silent, because these words were said by Liu Zhifeng in the excerpt of the impeachment of Wei Zhongxian, and Liu Zhifeng was a member of the Donglin Party. Cui Chengxiu brought out this past, and the purpose was very clear, that is, to remind Wei Zhongxian that in the eyes of the Donglin Party, he was Liu Jin back then! And what happened to Liu Jin in the end, do you need to say more!

"Chitose, the matter has come to this, please make a decision as soon as possible!

Yuan Dahai didn't want Cui Chengxiu to take the credit, no matter what, he also wanted to get the capital in this political battle against the Donglin Party, so he also knelt down in front of Wei Zhongxian with an arrow step, and said loudly: "My subordinates are not talented, I am willing to have a long knife in the hand of Chitose, and the liver and brain will be smeared on the ground, and then he will die!" ”
