Chapter Twenty-Five: The Envoy of the North Town
Emperor Wanli has been in poor health since the defeat of Salhu, and a few months have passed, and it has reached a precarious point. Although the ministers of the DPRK and China tried their best to cover it up, they still did not hide the eyeliner that Zhang Zheng's placement was in.
As a Jinyi Wei Qianhu, there will be no shortage of spies in the court, not to mention that he knows the emperor's every move well, but he will not be unaware of this kind of major event.
"Third child, you continue to investigate, I want to know the specific situation of the emperor. Although Shen Lian didn't know what he thought, he also knew that this was not a trivial matter, so he didn't dare to be careless at all, and after receiving the order, he went to select people and find out the news.
"Wanli is seriously ill, Wei Zhongxian and the Donglin Party will definitely be unwilling, there will definitely be small moves, and this is a good opportunity for me to master Jinyiwei. Zhang Zheng knew that when the time came, Wei Zhongxian had to entrap Jinyiwei, otherwise he would have no way to compete with Yang Lian and the others.
And as Wei Zhongxian's cronies, he has to go one step further along the tide.
"Brother Zheng, but what happened?" Lu Wanyue came behind him and put on a cloak for him.
"Don't worry, it's nothing, it's just the internal personnel transfer of Jinyiwei, and the third child sent it over for me to take a look. He comforted the beautiful woman with a few words, Lu Wanyue relieved her heart, and the two of them sat by the window, the sun ended, and the cold wind rose suddenly.
The night is as heavy as water.
He hugged the woman he loved deeply, gradually fell into a dream, a night without words, a few rays of morning light sprinkled, the golden sun was dazzling, the capital was rare to shine, the dark clouds in the sky dispersed, and a round of rising sun slowly rose from the east.
Another day has passed
As soon as Zhang Zheng accompanied Lu Wan to finish breakfast, there was a knock on the door of the mansion, and the person who came was Zheng Qi, the head of the East Factory under Wei Zhongxian, who was defeated by him in a few moves when he first competed.
Zheng Qi's mind is gloomy, the city is very deep, and he hates Zhang Zheng to death in his heart, but he has a smile on his face.
He didn't dare to offend Zhang Zheng, not to mention that because Zhang Zheng took Nie Yuan's head, he had already become a person valued by Wei Zhongxian, even Xu Xianchun, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, was not easy to mess with, and Xu Xianchun was only in charge of the East Factory, and it was easy for Xu Xianchun to clean him up.
Zhang Zheng knew that he didn't break it, since Zheng Qi didn't tear his face, he didn't bother to make trouble, so he hugged his fists and said with a smile: "Zheng Zhangban is here, let the house shine." ”
Zheng Qi scolded secretly in his heart, and said with a smile on his face: "Lord Qianhu is brave and invincible, killed the anti-thief Nie Yuan, and made great contributions. ”
His heart moved, since Wei Zhongxian asked him to go to the mansion, the matter had probably already been completed.
It seems that Wanli should not live long.
In just a moment, Zhang Zheng stabilized his expression and said with a smile: "What credit is not credit, this is all within the share, since it was summoned by Duke Wei, naturally it can't be delayed, you wait for me, I'll change my official uniform." ”
Zheng Qi took people to wait in the hall, he turned around and walked into the backyard, Lu Wan put away the flying fish suit early, put on the official uniform, and took off the Mo knife from the wall.
Zheng Qi saw that he would not leave his sword, and his heart was awe-inspiring, and he didn't dare to show the slightest dissatisfaction.
The group hurried through half of the city and came to Wei Zhongxian's mansion.
Zheng Qi led people to the backyard and stopped, obviously under Wei Zhongxian's order, only Zhang Zheng was allowed to go in alone, which was enough to see Zhang Zheng's status in the Wei party.
......
It was the same small lake last time, he saw Wei Zhongxian fishing by the lake, and there was no one else beside him, Zhang Zheng came to the pavilion along the path directly.
He bowed down and hugged his fists and said: "Zhang Zheng, a subordinate Jinyi Wei Qianhu, has seen Duke Wei." ”
Wei Zhongxian turned around, looked him up and down, and then showed a satisfied expression.
He promoted Zhang Zheng, Xu Xianchun is only one of the reasons, and the other most important reason is that Zhang Zheng is strong in martial arts and cautious. If Zhang Zheng was a waste, he wouldn't have gotten into his eyes at all.
In the final analysis, Wei Zhongxian is not a mediocre person, although he is not as good as Zhang Juzheng in terms of ability, he is not as unbearable as the Donglin Party people say. Those who can be in charge of the Ming Dynasty's national fortunes for ten years cannot be underestimated.
After half a ring, Wei Zhongxian spoke: "You did a good job, kill Nie Yuan, break the arm of the Donglin Party, and make a great achievement." ”
Zhang Zheng pretended to be panicked and hurriedly said: "Zhang Zheng doesn't dare to take credit, this time it is all up to Duke Wei's plan to eradicate the rebellion in one fell swoop." ”
Wei Zhongxian nodded, and the evaluation of him in his heart was raised again, he was not proud of his achievements, and he was a talent.
Those who are in high positions, the heaviest rewards and punishments are clear, Wei Zhongxian is of course extremely familiar with this set, and after he praised Zhang Zheng for a few words, he took out an edict from the stone table behind him.
"Take it, this is your majesty's reward for you, from now on, you will be the envoy of Jinyi Weibei Town. ”
Zhang Zheng took the edict, opened it and saw that the lower right corner was covered with a big seal, he was overjoyed, even if it was a calm state of mind, he couldn't help but make waves, but he knew that this was not the time to be happy, so he hurriedly put away the edict, knelt down on one knee and said: "Thank you Duke Wei for completing it, even if Duke Wei has something to do in the future, his subordinates will not hesitate." ”
"Okay, well, my father needs a talent like you. Wei Zhongxian clapped his hands and laughed, and immediately helped him up.
For his cronies, Wei Zhongxian will not be stingy, this position of the pacification envoy is the bet he used to win over Zhang Zheng, obviously, he won the bet.
The two of them are both prosperous and lossy. Wei Zhongxian fell, and the Donglin Party would not let him go.
Almost instantly, Zhang Zheng sorted out the relationship with Wei Zhongxian, at least for a short time, and he would not turn his face.
The two of them let down their guards, and the conversation was a little less boring and raw.
He sat on the stool to the left of the stone table, and Wei Zhongxian sat opposite him, and whenever he talked about the Donglin Party, Wei Zhongxian's face would appear with disgust.
I have to say that Wei Zhongxian is indeed talented, even if Zhang Zheng comes from modern times and has broad knowledge, but his understanding of this era is still not as thorough as his, Wei Zhongxian's strategy of governing the country and governing the people follows Zhang Juzheng's method, which is indeed suitable for the current situation.
The north is uncertain, internal and external troubles, and what Wei Zhongxian has to do is to suppress Donglin and seize power.
Zhang Zheng put forward some suggestions in a timely manner, which coincided with his ideas, especially for the Donglin Party, the two had the same opinion, which was also a reason why the Donglin people were bloodily killed after the Apocalypse ascended the throne.
Putting aside the words for the time being, more than an hour later, Wei Zhongxian suddenly said in a deep voice: "Do you know that Your Majesty is seriously ill?"
Zhang Zheng didn't hide it, and nodded directly.
"Do you know what to do?"
Zhang Zheng nodded again.
"Okay" Wei Zhongxian slapped his big hand, the excitement on his face faded, and then he showed a fierce look, he said: "Now you are the envoy of Beizhen, Xu Xianchun is the commander of the capital, I want you brothers to firmly control the Jinyi Guard." Xu Xianchun's ability is insufficient, mainly depends on you, and during this time, you must kill all the people who were placed in Jinyiwei by the Donglin Party. ”
Jinyiwei is Wei Zhongxian's reliance, and there is no room for error.
"Don't worry, Gong Wei, ten days later, I will come back to my life. He whispered to Wei Zhongxian's gaze.
A bloody massacre about the inside of Jinyiwei was about to begin, and no one was aware of it.
Zhang Zheng has no mercy in his heart, if he wants to live in this era, he can only be hard-hearted, and if he doesn't want to die himself, he can only let others die.
There is no right or wrong to kill, only positions.
Or rather, he has blended into the world.
