Chapter 19 Wei Zhongxian's piece of fat, I Lu Fan wants it!
The torrent of history has never stopped because of a certain person.
In the second month of Lu Fan's arrival in the bloated and aging empire of the Ming Dynasty, Wei Zhongxian fell.
The speed of the downfall was unbelievable to many people, like dominoes, and the recitals in the court and even everywhere kept coming, without exception, all of them were excerpts to impeach Wei Zhongxian.
Among them, the most intense impeachment was the former eunuch party members, one by one, who worked the hardest, like a posture of overthrowing Wei heroes, trying to confuse the public and get through the test in confusion, so as not to be implicated afterwards.
In October of the seventh year of the Apocalypse, Wei Zhongxian was listed as ten major crimes, and in order to protect himself, he listened to the advice of Xu Yingyuan, the eunuch of the original Xinwang Palace, and resigned from the throne, and was allowed by Emperor Chongzhen.
On November 1, Emperor Chongzhen rebuked Xu Yingyuan and once again demoted Wei Zhongxian to the ancestral tomb of Fengyang, the central capital.
After that, Lu Fan, who had been practicing at home, finally received a new will, attacked his father's job vacancy in thousands of households, and was summoned by Zhu Youzhen.
In the familiar Qianqing Palace, Lu Fan saw Emperor Zhu Youzhen again.
Compared with the cautiousness when he first ascended the throne, Zhu Youzhen is now full of spirit, as if he is full of ambition in the world.
"Lu Fan is here!" Seeing Lu Fan, Zhu Youzhen's expression showed a hint of a smile, "You have contributed a lot to the trouble of the eunuch party so smoothly this time, Lu Fan!"
"Your Majesty has an overreputation, Weichen just made some suggestions, and it is Your Majesty and the princes of the court who really control the overall situation!"
The sedan chair was carried by everyone, and Lu Fan was unambiguous in what he said, after all, Jinyi Wei Qianhu was also a fifth-grade official, and he was promoted four levels in a row from the general flag of the seventh grade, and this promotion speed was enough to arouse the red eyes of many people.
"Originally, I intended to let you take charge of the Jinyi Guard, but although you have an extraordinary family background, after all, you are still too young, and your previous qualifications are insufficient, and you will rise too fast, which will only attract the hostility of others, and it will be difficult to convince the public!"
"Your Majesty, if you can achieve the achievements of your father, Weichen is already satisfied, how dare you expect more?"
Zhu Youzhen smiled, and then suddenly said, "Wei Zhongxian left Beijing yesterday!"
Wei Chen also heard about this, and heard that when he went out of Beijing, he even took a thousand guards and more than 40 carts to the south. ”
"Hmm!" Zhu Youzhen's face became gloomy, and he said: "He is a eunuch, and he is accompanied by a thousand guards when he travels, this momentum is even more grand than mine!"
"And the belongings on those forty-odd cars are all people's fat and people's anointing, and I will never tolerate being taken away by that eunuch!"
Lu Fan didn't answer, and he was speechless for Wei Zhongxian.
You said that you are a eunuch leader who has lost power, it would be good to be able to save your life, and if you don't flee the capital with your tail between your legs, you will make a big fanfare to make it known to the whole city.
I don't even understand the truth that wealth is not exposed, if you don't die, who will die?
"Lu Fan, you take someone to arrest Wei Zhongxian back! Over the years, he has sold his official mantle to loot all over the place, and there is definitely not a small amount of silver taels in his hand, Da Ming, he needs this money very much!"
When the order was issued, Zhu Youzhen pondered for a moment and said: "Wei Zhongxian, whether he lives or dies, I don't care, but the silver in his hand must not be left outside!"
"Jin Yiwei was too deeply related to Wei Zhongxian before, I don't worry about other people, I can only ask you to handle this matter!"
"Minister, obey!"
........
After receiving the will and leaving the Forbidden City, Lu Fan did not pause at all, and directly summoned Shen Lian, Yin Cheng and other henchmen.
"Congratulations to Senho-sama!"
Shen Lian looked at Lu Fan with some envy, the other party's will to be promoted to a thousand households had been issued, and these brothers who had lived and died together had just learned about it not long ago.
"Daoxi doesn't have to!"
Lu Fan waved his hand and said, "There is a wealth in front of me, I don't know brothers, do you want it?"
"Who doesn't want power and wealth, we are all brothers in life and death who follow the adults, whatever the adults say, we will do it!" Yin Cheng was the first to express his position, and now he is Lu Fan's number one horse, and Lu Fan is the first to look forward.
"Your Majesty has a decree to arrest Wei Zhongxian and go to Beijing to ask for the crime!"
Lu Fan looked around and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty has taken a fancy to Wei Zhongxian's forty carts of property. ”
Shen Lian was stunned for a moment, swallowed his saliva, and said, "My lord, shouldn't you also worry about those things?"
"Those are the things on the surface, this is what His Majesty personally wants, there is no room for loss, and it must be brought back to the capital!"
Speaking of this, the corners of Lu Fan's mouth rose slightly, "The three caves of the cunning rabbit, our father-in-law Wei still understands this truth, do you brothers really think that Wei Zhongxian only has the wealth on the surface in his hands?"
Yin Cheng slapped his thigh, "There must be more than that, there are countless silver treasures that have been paid tribute from all over the world over the years, even if the eunuch spends extravagantly, there is definitely still a lot of it, outside the capital, he should still have a place to hide treasures!"
Lu Fan nodded, looked at Shen Lian, Wang Ding'an and the others, and said, "This wealth, who doesn't want it, can withdraw now!"
The scene was silent, but no one withdrew, even Shen Lian, who had always been indecisive, was looking at Lu Fan eagerly at the moment.
Wealth is moving, who doesn't want wealth that can't be spent in a few lifetimes?
"In this case, everyone, gather your men, Wei Zhongxian's entourage has thousands of guards, and we can't eat this piece of fat with just a dozen of us!"
In the Jinyi Guard system, there are ten horsemen under a small banner, five small flags under a general banner, two general flags under a hundred households, and a thousand households under ten hundred households.
In the Ming Dynasty, there were 14 Jinyi Wei Thousand Households, and the thousands of households in the Thousand Households belonged to the real power figures.
However, because Jinyiwei belongs to the hereditary system, from generation to generation, there are no less than 100 Jinyiwei officials with the title of 1,000 households, which also causes confusion and complexity within Jinyiwei.
For example, Lu Fan belongs to the thousands of households that make up for his father's shortcomings, but he has not divided the specific thousands of households, although he has the official body of the five grades, but he has no real power under his hands.
If you want to mobilize a large number of Jinyi Guards, you must pass the review of the Beizhen Fusi, and the Beizhen Fusi will mobilize people from everywhere, otherwise, except for his own cronies, he will not be able to mobilize a single soldier at all.
Lu Fan had his own considerations, Wei Zhongxian's piece of fat, he didn't want to share it with Beizhen Fusi, and he didn't use Beizhen Fusi's thoughts.
If Beizhen Fusi is involved, let alone eating meat, he is a new thousand-year-old, I'm afraid it will be difficult to even get soup.
As for whether it would attract the dissatisfaction of the Beizhen Fu Envoy by crossing the Jinyi Wei Beizhen Fu Division alone, Lu Fan didn't care at all.
Wei Zhongxian fell, Dongchang, Jinyiwei and even the hundred officials of the court will be purged, and they themselves will be difficult to protect, how can they still have the kung fu to find him Lu Fan's trouble?
