Chapter 16 Lu Fan, he is really a capable minister!
Sleepless nights.
Because he was worried that Wei Zhongxian would do something again, Zhu Youzhen didn't dare to sleep almost all night, except for taking a nap when he was very sleepy, and stayed awake almost all night.
It wasn't until the sky was slightly cool, and it was time for the morning dynasty that he breathed a sigh of relief.
"The hardest night is over!"
After surviving this night, next, he can follow the previous plan, calmly arrange, support his own strength little by little, and eliminate Wei Zhongxian's forces, until the eunuch forces in his eyes are completely eradicated!
"In the next few days, I will gradually bring the eunuchs and palace maids from the original Xin Wangfu into the palace, so in the next two days, the two Aiqing will need to spend more time!"
"Your Majesty's words are serious, it is the duty of a courtier to share your Majesty's worries, how dare you not be unreasonable?" Lu Fan bowed and said sincerely.
Regarding Lu Fan's performance, Zhu Youzhen smiled with satisfaction, for this brave and rational young man, he valued it from the bottom of his heart.
After tidying up his clothes and opening the door of the palace, Wei Zhongxian was already waiting outside the hall for some time, and the moment he saw the emperor appear, his old and tired look was suddenly full of smiles.
"Your Majesty, the early dynasty is about to begin, and the old slave is waiting for you to go to the court!"
Serving the emperor to the court, generally speaking, that is the qualification that the Son of Heaven has to be close to the eunuchs.
But now that Zhu Youzhen has just ascended the throne, Wei Zhongxian is now the eunuch of the ceremonial supervisor Bingbi, and he is in charge of the East Factory, and he is extremely powerful in the capital. Even if the emperor was reluctant in his heart, he didn't dare to show it at all, just nodded with a light smile, said a few words of encouragement, and under the service of the other party, got on the chariot of the Son of Heaven.
The emperor and Wei Zhongxian and the others left, and the entire Qianqing Palace fell silent.
Ding Baiying didn't stay here too much after everyone left, but walked out of the main hall with a token in his hand.
Lu Fan didn't ask where she went, in the final analysis, the other party was the emperor's real confidant, and now he can only be regarded as Zhu Youzhen's thug and bodyguard, many things, the other party doesn't say, and it is inconvenient for him to ask more.
In the evening, Ding Baiying took more than a dozen eunuchs and palace maids into the Qianqing Palace, these should be the old men of the original Xinwang Mansion.
Among them, Lu Fan also found an acquaintance, the third child who was broken by him in the bamboo forest, and at this time, dressed as a little eunuch, was also listed.
Seeing Lu Fan, San'er smiled a little unnaturally, then turned his head and didn't look at it anymore.
Lu Fan didn't say anything, but sat on the side by himself, and after eating some dry food with Ding Baiying and others, he squinted and took a nap.
"Big Sister ......."
Seeing that Lu Fan seemed to be asleep, San'er spoke in a low voice, his face a little unhappy.
With this vigilance, can you protect Your Majesty well?
Ding Baiying's face turned cold, and she advised: "This person is already in the emperor's heart, and he can only befriend him, not offend, understand?"
"Whatever the eldest sister says, it is naturally what it is!"
........
In the next few days, the relationship between Zhu Youzhen and Wei Zhongxian was extremely harmonious.
The emperor almost always asked Wei Zhongxian's opinion for all kinds of difficult recitals in the court, and most of the suggestions given by the other party were not modified by the emperor and directly adopted.
Because of this, Wei Zhongxian, who felt favored by the new emperor and whose position was still stable, gradually relaxed his vigilance, and began to transfer from the harem to the former dynasty for Zhu Youzhen's temptation.
On this day, after returning to the Qianqing Palace in the next dynasty, Zhu Youzhen's face was a little unsightly, and after simply eating something, he summoned Lu Fan alone.
"Lu Fan, you are an outsider, some things can be seen more clearly, there is a matter in the court today, you help me to refer to it in detail, this matter, I can't make up my mind. ”
"Your Majesty, but it doesn't hurt to say it, Weichen naturally knows everything!"
Zhu Youzhen didn't go around the bush, and explained the things in the court today.
To put it simply, in the court today, some of Wei Zhongxian's licking dogs began to sing odes to Wei Zhongxian, and some courtiers even suggested that the emperor build a shrine for Wei Zhongxian in Beijing to commend his merits.
It can be seen that Zhu Youzhen is still very angry about this matter.
"Your Majesty, if there is no accident, this should be Wei Zhongxian's last temptation to Your Majesty, this matter is handled properly, and in the next few days, Your Majesty will be able to calmly lay out and eradicate the eunuchs!"
Speaking from the heart, the eunuchs led by Wei Zhongxian were not all traitors and villains, and they also played a big role in the stability of the Ming Dynasty.
But it's a pity that at this time, Zhu Youzhen's mind is full of completely solving the eunuch party and controlling the court in the real sense.
"I also know that this matter is Wei Zhongxian's temptation, but if I really agree to those songs and build an ancestral hall for them in Beijing, what prestige will I have in the future for the entire government and the opposition?"
In Zhu Youzhen's view, this matter is quite tricky, if he directly disagrees with the construction of the ancestral hall, Wei Zhongxian may be angry and take risks, which he does not want to see.
But if you really agree to those songs, and establish ancestral halls in the capital and even all parts of the Ming Dynasty, I am afraid that in the future, the entire Ming Dynasty will only know that it is 9,000 years old, and I don't know that there is an emperor!
"For these recitals, Your Majesty can stay in the middle for the first time, and when reviewing the recitals, it is best to keep smiling all the time, and don't let Wei Zhongxian see anything. Regarding the emperor's anxiety, Lu Fan directly gave advice.
"Oh?" Zhu Youzhen frowned, a little puzzled, it was not a way to leave the fold in the middle.
"Your Majesty, at this time, the eunuch party in the court is powerful, but it is not the eunuch party that is the only one, so many courtiers sing praises for Wei Zhongxian, but Your Majesty has not expressed his position for a long time, presumably the most panicked person in his heart is still our Wei Gonggong!"
"The eunuch is in power, the biggest flaw is that his power comes from the emperor's favor, as long as Wei Zhongxian is not stupid, he will not continue to let the situation in the court continue today, so as not to be disgusted by His Majesty and lose his favor!"
"That's right!" Zhu Youjian thought for a while, then smiled, and said: "With my understanding of Wei Zhongxian during this time, this temptation has been fruitless, he should have asked to stop the establishment of the ancestral hall, and then I will make a tepid reply, and agree to his request, which can not only suppress the worship of Wei Zhongxian by the government and the opposition, but also not cause Wei Zhongxian's anger." ”
"Your Majesty Shengming, Daming Zhongxing, just around the corner!"
"Haha!"
Zhu Youzhen was very happy, and when he got along with Lu Fan, he felt very comfortable, much easier and more comfortable than dealing with those officials in the court.
Those people, in the last recital, Rory couldn't give a clear suggestion in the end, and as soon as Lu Fan opened his mouth, he pointed to the crux of the problem, and he was a rare capable minister!
