Chapter 170: Spy infighting
Emperor Chongzhen walked away, and Zhu Cihong still stood outside the gate of Jingshi City for a long time.
Zhang Kangdao, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, moved his legs, looked at the many officials who were already tired, stepped forward and whispered: "Your Highness, it's time to go back." ”
Zhu Cihong did not move, nor did he respond. He was in a very melancholy mood.
In the past few months, he has experienced too much, and he has been disheartened, feeling that he has no chance to be on the throne again, so he just wants to return to Beijing and live in peace.
I don't want my father to care about his so-called 'Northern Hunting', and deliberately let the cabinet and the officials of the Nine Ministries contact him, so that he can gradually enter the decision-making level of the imperial court.
Now at the important moment of the northern expedition to Pingliao, he let himself be in charge of the country. There were Mongolia and Jianlu in the north of the Ming Dynasty, Jungger in the west, the two kings in the south of the Yangtze River usurped the throne, and the southwest was out of control, and he felt that the burden on his shoulders was very heavy.
Seeing that the crown prince did not move, Fan Jiuzhang, the secretary of the ministry, also stepped forward slowly: "Your Highness, the emperor has gone away, please return to the palace." In the East Palace, there are still guests. ”
When Zhu Cihong heard this, he glanced at it imperceptibly, and nodded secretly, "Drive back to the palace." ”
Half an hour later, Zhu Cihong returned to the East Palace and listened to the little eunuch's long report.
"Is that all?" Zhu Cihong asked.
"Your Highness, the godfather only told the slave maid this, and he also said that the prince can just follow the steps, and there is nothing to worry about."
"Okay, you go down."
"The slave and maid are gone."
When the little eunuch walked away, Fan Jiuzhang stepped forward and spoke: "Your Highness doesn't have to care too much about King Ding, even if the emperor takes him on the expedition, it won't mean anything." Thinking about becoming an ancestor back then, he led the King of Han to fight in the south and the north, and the throne was still passed to Emperor Hongxi steadily! ”
Seeing that the prince did not speak, Fan Jiuzhang spoke again: "My position as the foundation of the country is stable, and I believe that this is even more true today." Father-in-law Tian's words, this official fully agrees, His Royal Highness can follow the step-by-step steps! ”
"My brother is very ambitious. I see that many officials in the DPRK and many generals in the army are eye-to-eye. I am worried that the foreign enemy has not been destroyed, and the gentleman has internal strife. ”
The prince thought about it far, but the minister believed that the emperor also knew this. This time, he took King Ding out, firstly, intentionally to alienate him from the Chinese officials of the dynasty, but also to tell the people of the world that King Ding, like the King of Han in those years, could not shake the position of crown prince. ”
"I hope so. Since God and my father have asked me to continue to be this crown prince, then I must not sit idly by and watch others snoop! ”
"Prince Shengming!"
"You remember, no matter what happens, you have to keep an eye on that Li Yan for this palace!" Zhu Cihong suddenly became aggressive.
"Your Highness, rest assured. Although Li Yan is good at intelligence spying, the people in the military department will definitely be able to keep an eye on him, but if there is any abnormal movement, we will definitely be able to detect it in advance. ”
"Be cautious and not underestimate the enemy. Judging from his series of political achievements, this person is definitely not simple. ”
"Obey the order, the minister must be careful."
Zhu Cihong pondered for a while, and then asked, "Is Gao Di still not going in with oil and salt?" ”
"Gao Di is a very human minister, he is in power, and he is the minion of the Son of Heaven, it is normal to ignore the minister, it would be strange if he threw himself into his arms." Fan Jiuzhang said.
"It's fine. As long as he doesn't side with the king. Okay, you go down. Master Huang: They are probably impatient to wait. "Zhu Cihong chased away the guests.
"Mr. Huang is a great Confucian in the world, and he is almost equal to Qian Qianyi in terms of knowledge and influence in Donglin. Now that Mr. Qian has a stain on him, in the future, Mr. Huang's influence will take the lead sooner or later, although His Royal Highness doesn't like him, but he must respect him! Fan Jiuzhang was afraid that the prince would not think enough, so he explained in detail.
Zhu Cihong naturally knew the political energy of Zodiac Zhou, so he would listen to his lectures patiently day after day.
But after experiencing the Jiashen Revolution and wandering in Saibei, he didn't believe in Donglin's set for a long time. In Zhu Cihong's eyes, the sage in Donglin's mouth deceived the emperor, gave shackles, deceived the people, and fooled the people, and only they were righteous in the whole world.
But as soon as the thieves arrived, they surrendered quickly, and the so-called integrity was worthless in their eyes.
Seeing Chongzhen's new army today, Zhu Cihong realized that only the army is the supreme truth, so he was particularly concerned about the fact that the king went out with the army.
The father may not have the idea of changing the reserve, but there is no guarantee that someone will be wrong!
"Bingben, if you contact Li Yutian and Wu Sanfu, you must pay attention to the king, and make a register of the generals he has in the army for later use." Zhu Cihong said sharply.
Fan Jiuzhang, as a hardcore supporter of the prince, was very clear about the strength of the prince's lineage, and when he heard the prince's order, he bowed down and said:
"Obey the prince's will."
……
In Gao Di's mansion, Ye Hongjin ran into the inner hall with hurried steps, and saw that Gao Di was pinching a pure black pearl to play, and said: "This black bead sent by the household servant is very rare. ”
Gao Di raised his eyes and said, "It's useless to say less, this thing is worth it when it is sold, and in my hands, it is no different from grapes." ”
"In the past two days, I sent people south to contact buyers."
Gao Di glanced at Ye Hongjin and was very satisfied with this dogleg, "What do you have to report here?" ”
"In the past two days, three people have been placed in the East Factory......"
"Three people were arranged in two days, it won't be the one who pours night incense or delivers firewood!" Gao Di said sharply.
"This ...... All three of them are poured night incense......" Ye Hongjin said curtly.
"You can't serve snacks, what I asked you to inquire about is Wang Chengen's daily words and deeds, not what he pulled!" Gaudi was furious and wanted to slap him in the mouth.
"After all...... We don't have eunuchs in Jinyiwei, it's really ......"
"There are so many eunuchs in the palace, you won't develop two of your own people?" Gaudi squinted.
"I'm going to do it...... Let's go ......" Ye Hongjin didn't dare to raise his head, Gao Di's face was full of black lines, Jinyiwei had been abandoned for many years, and it was really difficult to cultivate a few people who were capable of doing things.
After thinking about it, Gao Di said: "It's a private matter over there in Dongchang, we have time, but it's something arranged by the emperor, you can't be so careless." ”
"Don't worry, my lord, the whereabouts of those foreign devils are all kept an eye on them, when they went out, where they went, who they met, and how many benefits they gave, all of them are recorded in the book!" Ye Hongjin immediately came to the spirit.
"This matter is done well, our Jinyiwei can't be compared to the East Factory. You remember, on the emperor's desk, our secret music must be thicker and more meticulous than that of Dongchang! Gaudi said.
"Humble duty understands!"
……
At the same time, Wang Chengen looked at the three little maids who poured the toilet, and said with a smile: "Do you want to be eunuchs?" I still want to explain it honestly. ”
"Princess, we are the ones who pour the toilet, what do you explain...... There's a misunderstanding here! ”
"Shout, dishonest! Come on, give them three purifications! ”
"Princess...... We...... What are you doing, why are you taking off your pants......"
"I've assimilated you...... No big deal! A eunuch squatted down with a small polished file and smiled.
"Ah......h
The other two looked at the bloody scene, and instantly chilled, and their bodies couldn't help but tremble......
