Chapter Twenty-Eight: Honesty
This time, Wei Zhongxian summoned him in the hall, accompanied by Zheng Qi, the head of the East Factory.
He stood quietly and didn't speak, waiting for Wei Zhongxian to finish reading the recital.
Cleaning the Jinyi Guard is not a trivial matter, although there is an excuse for fornication and rebellion, but it is still necessary to go through the form, at least not to make the Wanli Emperor suspicious.
After touching a cup of tea, Wei Zhongxian put down the fold in his hand, and it could be seen from his face that he was not in a bad mood, obviously very satisfied with the result handed over by Zhang Zheng.
"Well done. Wei Zhongxian said.
Zhang Zheng shook his head and replied: "This is the matter of his subordinates, and he doesn't dare to take credit, not to mention that everything is still presided over by Duke Wei, and his subordinates are just doing things according to Wei Zhong's wishes." ”
In the final analysis, it is he who benefits in the end, although it is Wei Zhongxian who is in charge of Jinyiwei on the surface, but after this purge, at least half of the people have become his henchmen, especially Beizhen Fusi, his henchmen have made up for the vacant positions, and these people only listen to his orders.
Wei Zhongxian didn't doubt Zhang Zheng's thoughts, and besides, the replacement of his henchmen was very secretive, and no one would find out at all.
"Tell me about the purge list for this time, I want to see what is outside the food. ”
"Yes. Zhang Zheng took out a piece of paper from his arms, which was densely packed with names.
"This time, there were a total of 82 people in Jinyiwei who fornicated and rebelled, including three from 1,000 households, seven from 100 households, and 12 from the general banner. ”
"Beizhen Fusi Qianhu Zuofeng, Huang Xian, Nanzhen Fusi Qianhu Qin Long, colluded with Jiangnan political envoy Nie Yuan, intending to murder the emperor, and found a large number of correspondence from the three people's mansions, all of which were written by Nie Yuan himself, and the evidence was conclusive. ”
"Zuo Feng defected, and was killed by Zhang Zheng, the envoy of Beizhen, Huang Xian, and Qin Long were temporarily imprisoned and disposed of by Hou. ”
There are also 100 households Li Chun, Zhang Feng, and Wang Tong...... and other seven people collaborated with their subordinates to collude and rebel, and all of them were arrested, and none of them escaped. ”
Sprinkled hundreds of words, he read for a quarter of an hour, but it was on this list, either death or exile, none of which would be a good result.
After reading it, Zhang Zheng handed the paper to Wei Zhongxian and asked him to look at it, which made Wei Zhongxian more and more satisfied with his ability to do things.
"Don't worry, my father will ask for credit for you in front of the emperor, you go back first, if there is something, I will let Qi'er pass on you. ”
Zhang Zheng said hello, came out of the Wei Mansion, took the saber, and rushed towards his own mansion.
In the past few days, he has been busy dealing with the affairs in Jinyiwei, and he has not returned home.
When he returned to the mansion, he didn't go to see Lu Wanyue for the first time, but secretly took a shower first to get rid of the smell of blood on his body.
Lu Wan made an appointment to see him come back, although her face was happy, there was always a little sadness between her eyebrows, Zhang Zheng and her had long been intimate, so she naturally felt a trace of strangeness.
He didn't ask at once, and the two of them had dinner happily.
The rain in the capital is getting heavier and heavier, and the courtyard accumulates a finger-deep rainwater, which looks like transparent lotus flowers blooming on the surface of the lake.
The sky was overcast, and the night came quickly, and he was very tired these days, so he came to the bedroom early to rest.
Lu Wanyue took out the quilt for winter from the cabinet and spread it on the bunk, she put it away when the weather was warm a few days ago, and she never thought that it would be cold again.
"What are you doing?" she said coquettishly, a pair of big hands hugging her from behind, and the familiar feeling didn't have to be thought to know who it was.
"It's so cold, of course, it's for the young lady to keep warm. Zhang Zheng smiled, and then the whole person leaned up, and his chest pressed against Lu Wanyue's back.
A hot breath blew in her ears, Lu Wanyue's heart rippled, coupled with Zhang Zheng's magic hand, through the placket, in an instant, Lu Wanyue's heart lust soared, turned around and kissed the fiery lips, in the room, the candle flame flickered, and an ambiguous atmosphere rose.
Half an hour later, with a high-pitched and suppressed roar of joy, everything was calm again.
On the bed, Zhang Zheng hugged Lu Wanyue in his arms, and the brocade silk covered the seductive body, leaving only a snow-white neck, which was so beautiful that it made people dizzy. Lu Wanyue's face was flushed, there was spring between her eyebrows, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously flowed with a satisfied and lazy smile.
Zhang Zheng looked at her lips and couldn't help but kiss them, the body of the beautiful woman in his arms writhed, and a sound of pleasure came out of his mouth, and his already extinguished lust rose again.
Lu Wanyue is very happy, if Zhang Zheng makes the last move at this moment, she will not resist, and even has some faint expectations, she obediently does many shameful things, and the most gratifying thing for her is that Zhang Zheng has never forced her.
"Brother Zheng, if you want, I can give it to you now?" Lu Wanyue said shyly.
Zhang Zheng looked happy, but he restrained himself at the last moment.
He smiled bitterly and said, "I'd better bear with it, and when I'm done with these things, I'll go to your master and marry you." ”
"Really?" Lu Wanyue leaned her head on his chest, her fingers drawing circles.
"Of course it's true, when did Brother Zheng lie to you. He pretended to be dissatisfied, and slapped her back lightly with his big hand, which made the beautiful woman roll her eyes.
The two lit the candle flame, hugged each other, and quietly said love words, after a long time, Zhang Zheng changed into a comfortable posture and hugged Lu Wanyue, he asked in a low voice: "I see that you are sad between your eyebrows, is there something going on recently?"
Lu Wanyue didn't hide it from him, so she told him about the past few days, it turned out that Lu Wenzhao came yesterday and told her about Zhang Zheng's cleaning of Jinyiwei, and wanted to use Lu Wanyue's hand to persuade him.
Zhang Zheng was a little angry in his heart, Lu Wenzhao shouldn't have involved her.
Lu Wanyue was afraid that he would be wrong and misunderstood, so he explained: "Senior brother is also afraid that you have offended too many people, Jinyiwei has contacts with many people, and you have killed all of them, I'm afraid these people will not let your husband have a good time." ”
Seeing that Lu Wanyue looked anxious, obviously really thinking about himself, the little dissatisfaction in his heart also dissipated, he tightened the palm of the beauty, and Zhang Zheng said confidently: "Madam, can you trust me?"
Lu Wanyue nodded without hesitation.
Zhang Zheng continued: "Don't worry, it's good if I don't trouble them now, where do they dare to find themselves unhappy, do you think that this Jinyi Weibei Town envoy for her husband is in vain?"
When Lu Wanyue heard him say this, her heart was settled, and she no longer mentioned Lu Wenzhao's matter.
"Madam, being a husband is not the kind of person who is greedy for power, this era is cruel after all, what I want to do is to change this era. As for Wei Zhongxian, the Donglin Party is just a tumor, I am temporarily attached to Wei Zhongxian, what I have to do is to grasp enough power to change everything. ”
Lu Wanyue never knew that her man would have such a goal, although she loved Zhang Zheng, she never wanted him to have too much to do with Wei Zhongxian.
In this era, Wei Zhongxian is a eunuch, a usurper of power, everyone will be punished, she is afraid that her man will end up miserably if she is not careful, for this reason, she even often has nightmares.
But now, Lu Wanyue realized that she still underestimated the man next to her, who dared to think about changing this era, who dared to do it.
Zhang Juzheng reformed politics, but the result ended miserably, and even the title was stripped after his death.
That's a lesson from the past.
"Brother Zheng, I believe in you. She said in Zhang Zheng's ear, and then kissed it hotly, and in his surprised gaze, Lu Wanyue took the initiative to get up and let out a bitter cry from her mouth.
Zhang Zheng still didn't understand her intentions, and the two were completely combined.
Spring is boundless
That night, she confessed herself to this man, leaving a blood-colored plum blossom on the bed.
