Chapter 82 Dali Temple
Dali Temple.
Wang Wenzhi had just received a message from the Zhongshu Provincial Government, and according to custom, all of them were detained in the prison and then waited for the decree to be issued before they could be arraigned.
Before Zhou Dewei left Jingshi, he didn't take much care of him, and only asked him to cooperate with the adults in Zhongshu Province.
He is a third grade, and he usually doesn't have a chance to enter the palace, and he doesn't know what happened.
The person who came only handed over more than 20 officials to him, without explaining the reason, and said that the emperor had ordered that no one should see these officials.
He walked around the back hall, hesitating, and beside him was the master of his Dali Temple.
"My lord, when the prime minister leaves Beijing, can you take care of it?"
"No, Xiangye left this morning, and in less than two hours, the emperor arrested these adults and locked them up for me, what should I do?"
"My lord, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are all Xiangye's people, and Duke Zhou is your mentor, of course, he is more important. Although the emperor has ascended the throne, he lacks real power, and he is young, and he is difficult to fight, so don't think nonsense. ”
Wang Wenzhi sighed: "Can Duke Zhou really fight the emperor?" ”
If the fight had passed, the emperor would not have ascended the throne, and Zhou Dewei and the queen would have been killed a long time ago.
In the absence of any foreign aid, the emperor can survive to this day, and he can successfully ascend the throne, win over the Liu family, and get Zhou Dewei out of the capital.
In this matter, a small guy came from outside the house: "My lord, Lord Guo, the secretary of the military department, is here to see." ”
Yipin wants to see Sanpin, how dare he slack off, they are all Zhou Dewei's people, and he wants to go to the door to greet him in person.
It's just that Guo Qiu is already waiting for him in the main hall.
"Xiaguan Wang Wenzhi, I've seen Lord Shangshu Guo!"
"Oh? Lord Wang doesn't have to be polite, please get up. ”
"Come on, come on, serve tea!"
The two of them sat down, but Guo Qiu served the tea but didn't drink it: "Lord Wang, the emperor has sent all the officials of Zhongshu Province to you, you must think it is very tricky." They are all Zhou Gong's people......"
Wang Wenzhi smiled bitterly: "Lord Guo, you and I are both from Duke Zhou, and the lower officials will not see you outside, please teach me how to deal with this matter." ”
"These people planned the plague incident and poisoned hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the army, and their crimes are unforgivable."
What?
Wang Wenzhi thought it was behind his ears, he heard it wrong, how could Guo Qiu say such a thing, isn't this a demolition for Zhou Dewei.
He was stunned: "Lord Shangshu, you?" ”
"Heh, you must wonder why I am speaking to the emperor. In fact, you are also a smart person, you should see that today's Long Live Lord is a genius, Zhou Dewei and the queen have been suppressed many times, but they still haven't been able to do anything to him, in the end, the queen ended up with a tragic death, and Zhou Dewei himself was expelled from the capital, which is called ...... Pacify Chin Cha, hum. ”
Seeing that Wang Wenzhi didn't speak, he said again: "Lord Wang, you have concerns, I understand, you have been with Zhou Dewei for nearly 20 years, and you have a friendship between master and apprentice. But so what? Zhou Dewei is a rebel, he is a guy who wants to usurp in his heart, and he will jump out sooner or later. He is a person with a foreign surname, do you think the people of the Qin family will help him? ”
It's all a big truth, Wang Wenzhi has also thought of this, but he doesn't show it.
To be able to do Dali Siqing, Wang also has his own way of being an official, he has been influenced by Zhou Dewei for many years, and his brain is much more sensitive than ordinary people, but he has always adhered to the golden mean, and he does not participate in anyone who has actions.
Therefore, seven years ago, he begged Zhou Dewei to find him an errand in Dali Temple, away from the court, military and politics, and only asked about prison.
Who would have thought that people in officialdom still can't escape this ordeal.
It's like a rat in a bellows, blocked at both ends.
"Lord Wang, in fact, I came today to give you good news."
Wang Wenzhi: "Oh? What is the happy event of the lower officials? ”
"I heard that you have a younger sister, and the emperor likes it very much, so you are going to have good luck."
"The emperor likes it?"
Isn't this nonsense, the emperor has never seen his sister Wang Qiuyue, how can he like it, this is using marriage to win over courtiers, Wang Wenzhi knew it as soon as he heard it.
"Lord Wang, once your sister enters the palace, then you will be the uncle of the dynasty, shouldn't I congratulate you?"
Wang Wenzhi's heart was surging, and he really didn't know what to do.
When he was the uncle of the country, he betrayed Zhou Dewei and married his sister, so he offended the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty.
Zhou Dewei's means, how could he not know that this is a large-scale political struggle, and it is dangerous to get involved in it.
"The emperor is wrong to love, in fact, the sister of the lower official is sick and cannot pass on the ancestry, which many people know. I also asked Lord Shangshu to tell the emperor, and he said that the sister of the lower official ......"
"Lord Wang, you are so confused."
Guo Qiu got up and pointed at his face: "Why are you so stupid?" One is Zhou Dewei, a powerful minister who will collapse sooner or later, and the other is the emperor who reigns over the world, let you be the uncle of the country, you are a relative of the emperor, who dares to touch you? Don't you have a brain? ”
"Wang Wenzhi, if you are smart enough, you should send your sister into the palace tonight, and you will be your uncle early tomorrow morning. Of course, this is all a sure thing, the key is - you stood on the emperor's side, used the power in your hands to purge the six departments and nine secretaries, before Zhou Dewei came back, the people standing in the court were basically our people, so Zhou Dewei's henchmen were not dismantled? ”
Serial scheme, a bit interesting.
When listening to Guo Qiu's words, Wang Wenzhi always had a feeling that he couldn't understand: "Lord Guo, how did you fall to the emperor?" ”
"I'm calling it abandoning darkness and turning to light! Zhou Dewei has begun to go downhill, and the emperor is in full swing. Never mind! I've said that, then, it's up to you what you think, I'll go first! ”
"Slow...... Lord Shangshu stayed. ”
……
Wang Wenzhi compromised, in fact, he was not moved by Guo Qiu, but he didn't plan to be a traitor in the first place.
Back then, he was Zhou Dewei who rushed to take the exam, was squeezed out, and had no way to serve the country, who thought that Zhou Dewei was a guy who was bent on controlling the government, Wang Wenzhi had already seen this clearly.
Over the years, he has also done a lot of things for Zhou Dewei, which can be regarded as repaying his kindness.
Isn't it fragrant to be an uncle of the country?
Regardless of whether it is a political marriage or not, knowing that his sister has entered the palace, even if it is an ornament, then he is also the uncle of the dynasty.
What's more, the news that my sister can't give birth to her leaked two years ago, and no one will marry her.
He returned home and told his sister what had happened.
Wang Qiuyue's appearance is not outstanding, her body is slightly fat, and her personality is introverted, she never dreamed that she would enter the palace as a concubine.
"Qiuyue, the emperor married you for the consolidation of imperial power, my brother doesn't hide it from you, it only depends on whether you are willing or not."
