Chapter 8: A Lawless Woman
At this time, Wei Zhongxian had already had some reminiscence.
It's not like an impromptu idea, but it's been carefully prepared.
First of all, he used the great crime of rebellion that the surname Wei wanted to replace the surname Zhu to win the country, and then used his own name to appease him.
Then, he suddenly shocked the country on the grounds that the ministers would cause trouble, so as to further make our family afraid, and finally said that he wanted to take back the power of Jinyiwei, so that our family would be reduced to fish and meat in panic and slaughtered.
It's a good move step by step, I'm afraid only Taizu can come up with it.
Wei Zhongxian instinctively thought that it was Zhu Yuanzhang's idea for the apocalypse, because he knew the apocalypse too well.
However, since Tianqi had already taken back the rights of Jinyiwei in the name of Zhu Yuanzhang, the pressure was instantly on Wei Zhongxian's side.
He didn't have much time to think about it, and while crying, he pretended to be obedient and said: "Everything from the old slave is given by Banzai, not to mention Jinyiwei, even if it is the life of the old slave, Banzai can take it at any time if he wants." ”
Tianqi couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard it, and then hurriedly said: "Wei Daban, it's serious, if it weren't for you, this Manchu Dynasty would have been the world of the Donglin Party." ”
"Whose life I want, I won't want your life, I still want you to serve our Daming country well."
In the latter sentence, the apocalypse is not only to appease Wei Zhongxian, but also to think so in his heart.
Of course, Tianqi knew that Wei Zhongxian was not a good thing, and just the things he and Kebaba did in the harem would not be too much to cut him with a thousand knives.
But Tianqi knows better that Wei Zhongxian can't be moved now, otherwise, the civilian official group that Chongzhen can't suppress can't suppress himself can't either.
At that time, I am afraid that there will only be the end of hanging on the southeast branch.
So now he just wants to take some power back in his hands, so that this sharp knife can be slightly restrained, so that he can do something practical as he wishes.
……
After serving the apocalypse and resting, Wei Zhongxian withdrew from the Qianqing Palace, and then went straight to the Xian'an Palace.
Kebaba knew that Wei Zhongxian would test Long Live at night, so he didn't rest, and when he saw Wei Zhongxian rushing in, he suddenly had a bad feeling.
"Zhongxian, long live really want to take back the power to approve red from you?" Kebaba asked impatiently.
Wei Zhongxian shook his head and said, "Long live is not interested in reviewing the chapters, but it is just for Zhu Yuanzhang to see." ”
Kebaba suddenly said with some puzzlement: "In that case, then why are you still worried?" ”
Wei Zhongxian immediately gritted his teeth and said: "Because Zhu Yuanzhang gave Banzai a vicious idea, he wants Banzai to take back Jinyiwei from our family." ”
Hearing this, Ke Baba's face changed greatly, because Jin Yiwei was a sharp knife in the hands of the two of them, and he also had a great stake in them.
Wei Zhongxian's "Five Biao" Tian Ergeng, Xu Xianchun, Sun Yunhe, Cui Yingyuan, Yang Huan, as well as Kebaba's son Hou Guoxing and younger brother Ke Guangxian, almost controlled all the important positions of Jinyiwei, and Jinyiwei was their hall.
If Banzai wants to take back the Jinyiwei, the position of the commander of the Jinyiwei will definitely not be kept, and other important positions will probably be replaced by people who are more loyal to the court according to Banzai's wishes, then the Jinyiwei will be completely lost.
The lack of Jinyiwei is like the loss of an arm, and the stakes are high.
"No, Jinyiwei must not be taken back by the emperor." Kebaba did not hesitate to object.
Because she and Wei Zhongxian walked together, it was not a cheap love, after all, Wei Zhongxian was a eunuch, and he was nineteen years older than her.
She was favored more than Wei Zhongxian, with her status, if she wanted a man, what kind of man couldn't find it? I have to find a dead eunuch.
It's all about profit.
She is a woman, not yet a concubine, although she can compete for favor in front of the apocalypse, but it is difficult to block the attack on her by the Shidafu group, and it is even more difficult for her relatives to soar.
But Wei Zhongxian can do it, and she is also very skillful, so she did not hesitate to abandon her previous good friend Wei Dynasty and threw herself into Wei Zhongxian's arms.
Wei Zhongxian did not live up to her expectations and successfully let her get her wish.
Now, she has become the "Holy Lady" of Banzai, and the house slaves all call her "nine thousand years old lady", and when you ask for peace, she also shouts: "Old lady thousand years old, thousand years old, thousand years old." ”
She has mansions inside and outside the palace, and she has obtained a special decree from the emperor, and she can enter and exit the palace at any time, which is much freer and more beautiful than the harem concubines and even the queen.
Ministers and workers, big and small, and even princes and nobles, all bow down and bow down whenever they encounter her chariot.
There are those who call Mrs. St. Mary, those who shout Mrs. Chitose, and those who call Mrs. Mary.
even shamelessly called his godmother and stepmother, shaking his head and tail like a dog, more pious than welcoming the holy driver.
All this is based on supreme power, and Kebaba also deeply understands this.
Therefore, when she learned that the emperor was going to snatch power from her, she did not hesitate to jump out and oppose it.
Her mind was racing, and she immediately came up with an idea: "Zhongxian, now Dongchang, Jinyiwei, the cabinet, and the six departments are almost all in our hands. ”
"The emperor wants power, doesn't he? Yes, we give it to him, give it all. ”
"Tomorrow, we will ask the civil and military officials to submit their resignations to the imperial court, and we will not do it. If you have the ability, let him take care of this huge country by himself. ”
The more Kebaba spoke, the more excited he became, his expression hideous, as if he had already grasped the apocalypse to death.
However, Wei Zhongxian did not respond immediately, but frowned more and more.
Kebaba hurriedly stepped forward and asked eagerly, "Zhongxian, what are your concerns?" ”
"What are we working so hard for? Isn't it just for the sake of rights? Now the emperor wants to take it back, there are one, two, and three. Shi can be tolerated, who is unbearable. ”
"The old lady was in a hurry, and the old lady directly gave him some fierce medicine in the meal, and let him lie down for another year and a half."
Hearing that Kebaba was more and more outrageous, Wei Zhongxian hurriedly said: "Madam, I can't help it, I can't help it." If it is not operated properly, it will collapse in the long life, and I am afraid that it will be the time when the two of us will be in trouble. ”
"Long live has already issued an edict, and there is no intention of taking it back, if he collapses, it will be the king of faith to succeed to the throne. King Xin doesn't treat our family well, and it's hard to guarantee that he won't kill our family. ”
Hearing this, Kebaba thought about it, and then calmed down a little.
I'm afraid I didn't expect that as soon as I reached out and wanted to take back a little right, I almost had to go to the ghost gate again.
It seems that this power struggle is really dangerous, and if you are not careful, you will fight yourself, even the emperor is no exception.
"Is there anything wrong with the concubine's strategy of forcing the palace to let the civil and military officials submit their resignations?"
Obviously, Kebaba will not willingly hand over power, even if it is just a brocade guard.
