Chapter Thirty-Eight: Settling Accounts After the Autumn
At the beginning of Huang Yuntai's tenure last year, the Luanzhou earthquake in Beijing, Tianjin Wei was also greatly affected, and the Acropolis was damaged a lot, and now he discussed with Huo Weihua and Wei Zhongxian, and used this as a reason to play the emperor and ask for one million taels of silver to repair the guard, this money, the three of them have already agreed!
Who knew that the emperor would actually ask.
Wei Zhongxian said: "Gu Shoufu has already approved it, is there something wrong with Your Majesty?" ”
Zhu Youxiao nodded and said, "Now that the situation in Liaodong is in danger, Master Sun has also written to ask for salary, so this money will be allocated to Master Sun!" ”
Wei Zhongxian was reluctant to do so, but as soon as the emperor Chrysostom opened, he was helpless.
"The slave will go and inform Shoufu, Tianjin Wei can only wait a little longer."
Zhu Youxiao shook his head and said, "How can you wait for such an important health center?" issued an order, go to the post of Huo Weihua, the right attendant of the Ministry of War, and re-serve as the commander of the Tianjin Guard, command the Tianjin Three Guards, and assist Huang Yuntai in repairing the Acropolis! There are 100,000 households in Tianjin, tens of thousands of tuntians, and the money and grain produced are enough! ”
"With the two of them working hard, the deadline is two months to complete, and I will send the imperial history to check!"
Wei Zhongxian was dumbfounded! How did he not know about the situation of Daming's guard? The Son of Heaven has known for a long time!
This clearly means that the emperor wants to punish Huo Weihua, and Wei Zhongxian can't talk to the emperor from the side of the guard, but Huo Weihua is in the military department, and the annual military salaries, money and food that flow to the whole country are all from him, and most of the oil and water are obtained by Wei Zhongxian.
And Huo Weihua is also a general under his own hands, if he doesn't protect it, he can't do it, and Huang Yuntai also has credit......
"Emperor, Huo Shilang is a civil official, so if he goes to the guard, I am afraid that it will cause a discussion ...... the court."
Before Wei Zhongxian finished speaking, Zhu Youxiao interrupted: "The eldest companion doesn't need to say much, I have already made up my mind, Huo Shilang can be literate and martial, and he can also know the magic medicine of immortals, this kind of thing must not be difficult for him!" Go down and proclaim the decree. ”
Wei Zhongxian suddenly understood, this must be the spiritual drink offered by Huo Weihua to reveal the problem, His Majesty did not check it at the beginning, and praised Huo Weihua, but now it is inconvenient to say it clearly.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but be a little glad, it was fortunate that Huo Weihua didn't give him the secret recipe at the beginning, otherwise now that the Son of Heaven is angry, there must be one of the unlucky people!
Wei Zhongxian retired and took the cabinet to convey the emperor's will.
Huo Weihua, a member of the eunuch party, was demoted! And he was also the commander of the guard who was demoted to a lowly level.
The news suddenly spread throughout the six departments, and the people in the eunuch party were uneasy, mainly because Huo Weihua's identity was too special, and he was an important member of the eunuch party, and he couldn't help but wonder if the emperor had persecuted the Donglin party too much recently and suppressed it?
Especially the first assistant Gu Bingqian, he has been going to the emperor, asking the emperor to stop and show mercy to the eunuch party to kill Donglin, and at this moment he felt a little at ease, but he was afraid that he would anger Wei Zhongxian, so he was really restless.
And the Donglin Party, as well as the Qi Party and the Chu Party, are all celebrating each other, and they are all shouting His Majesty Shengming!
Such discussions made Wei Zhongxian's nose crooked.
When Huo Weihua heard the news, he was struck by lightning and immediately went to find Wei Zhongxian.
was told that Wei Zhongxian was meeting with Choi Chengxiu and Xu Xianchun, so he had to wait outside the hall.
In the inner room, Wei Zhongxian told Xu Xianchun about the emperor's will and fined him for one year, this punishment made Xu Xianchun breathe a sigh of relief, and Huang Xiao did not tell the emperor about the Bliss Pill, which made Xu Xianchun and Cui Chengxiu feel at ease.
"Your Majesty's private visit to Weifu, originally only our family knew, but now the two of you know, if anyone knows, Your Majesty will be furious, and our family will not be able to protect you!
Our family and Commander Xu know about this, this is what Your Majesty knows, and Cui Shilang, you know about it, but Your Majesty doesn't know, you have to keep your mouth shut! ”
Cui Chengxiu nodded in agreement, thinking to herself, the old man is rotten in his stomach, and even the Chaoyang Gate area of Huang Xiao's family is missing, naturally it's okay, his son is a big straw bag, he can't let him know about this!
"Duke, is Huo Shilang's demotion related to Wang Wenyan's death? Or is Your Majesty dissatisfied with us? Xu Xianchun asked.
Wei Zhongxian shook his head and said, "This matter is speculation by the Donglin Party and others, Your Majesty has no such intentions!" He, this thing is clever, this thing is in the spirit drink dew, although Your Majesty did not say it explicitly, but our family thinks about it, this spirit drink dew must be a big harm! ”
Xu Xianchun thought for a while and said, "That must be what Huang Xiao said, otherwise His Majesty would not have known so quickly." ”
Wei Zhongxian nodded, "Your Majesty is very fond of Huang Xiao, our family warns you, put away your thoughts, don't offend this person again!" Why can he get His Majesty to look at him so differently, these are slowly explored by our family, you can go. ”
The two retired, and Wei Zhongxian let Huo Weihua in.
As soon as he entered the door, Huo Weihua immediately knelt down, took out a piece of paper and held it high above his head, and shouted: "The governor save me!" This is the secret recipe for the spiritual drink dew, please accept it with a smile! ”
Huo Weihua was really panicked, he was belittled, and what was even worse was that the Acropolis was repaired within a time limit, and the imperial court didn't give a penny, which was really a fatal errand.
He had just been waiting outside, but he had a guess in his heart, he thought that this matter was caused by Wei Zhongxian, because he did not dedicate the secret method of Spirit Drink Dew to Wei Zhongxian.
Wei Zhongxian took the secret recipe and threw it to the little eunuch next to him.
The little eunuch then recited aloud......
Huo Weihua's heart was relieved, he wiped his sweat, and wanted to stand up, but Wei Zhongxian didn't speak, so he had to kneel on the ground.
Wei Zhongxian sneered, snatched the piece of paper from the little eunuch's hand, and threw it at Huo Weihua.
"Huo Shilang thinks it's our family that has come to fix you? Hehe! Your secret recipe turned out to be this kind of goods! You're too bold! Your Majesty is angry, and that's because of this! Ask for your own blessings! ”
"Ah......" Huo Weihua was dumbfounded, and the beads of sweat that had just been wiped off suddenly surged onto his forehead again.
"Over the years, you have also saved a lot of belongings in the position of the Ministry of War, you can break the wealth and avoid disasters, our family finally advises you, don't worry about Your Majesty's words!"
Huo Weihua went to office in despair.
Huang Xiao didn't know that because he saw Zhu Youxiao once, he changed the fate of many people.
He replied to Xu Na with a message, and Xu Na called very quickly.
……
"Brother Xiao, I thought you were missing? Why has the phone been turned off these days, and I can't get through to call you, and I won't say a word to me! ”
Huang Xiao smiled: "I'm really embarrassed, do you have time?" I invite you to afternoon tea. ”
"Today is four days off, I'm going to work, squeeze in time, Wenhua Road Shuiyunju Teahouse, see you in an hour!"
Huang Xiao really didn't notice that today was Thursday, and he didn't like this in Daming.
Huang Xiao packed up his clothes, drove the car, and went to the city.
At one o'clock in the afternoon, there were many fewer cars on the road, Huang Xiao was racing all the way, and in less than forty minutes, he had already parked in the parking lot of the teahouse, and Xu Na's white BMW was also parked not far away.
Huang Xiao got out of the car.
