Chapter 172

Wei Zhongxian finally encountered big trouble, and his persecution actually led to a civil commotion. He summoned Wei Guanghui, who advocated the arrest of Zhou Shunchang, and scolded him. Mr. Wei was not easy either. In order to become an official, he insisted on treating himself as a grandson at the age of eighty. No matter how much you scold me, I won't say a word.

Eunuch Wei was extremely angry, but there was nothing he could do to the old bastard. He had no choice but to send Wei Guanghui home. Mr. Wei fell ill after returning home. It was said that he was afraid of wind, water, and light. Anyway, as long as he didn't go out, he would There's nothing wrong with it, it's the kind of disease that will kill you if you go out.

As a member of the imperial cabinet, Wang Tiqian naturally wanted to visit Wei Guanghui when he was ill. Wei Guanghui naturally did not dare to miss Wang Tiqian, a popular person in front of the emperor. After passing through the deep courtyard of the Wei family, Wang Tiqian was brought to the bedside by Wei Guanghui's son.

"Mr. Ge's illness is a bit strange. We look good." Seeing Wei Guanghui lying on the bed with his eyes closed, Wang Tiqian shook his head helplessly. It's not like this person who is not sick is pretending to be sick. Anyone can do it. At least, it requires some acting skills. It's obvious that Wei Guanghui's acting skills are not ordinary. He didn't even put turmeric water on his face, and his face was rosy. It looked like he looked better than himself.

Wei Guanghui, who was lying on the bed and pretending to be dying, opened his eyes helplessly.

"This is my old habit. Please sit down, father-in-law. Come and watch the tea!" Wei Guanghui coughed twice to cover up his embarrassment. In fact, it didn't matter. Wei Zhongxian was able to survive all the insults. Being exposed by Wang Tiqian for pretending to be ill is really not a big deal.

"An old problem? It seems to be a mental illness in our family!" Wang Tigan smiled like a weasel that had eaten a fat chicken.

"Ahem! My father-in-law is joking." Wei Guanghui's old face also turned red as his face was as shameful as a city wall.

"Don't think too much, Mr. Ge. This time our family is not here to visit on behalf of the emperor, nor are we here to visit on behalf of Superintendent Wei. We are just thinking about the benefits of Mr. Ge in daily life, so we came here to have a look."

"Thank you so much, father-in-law! My father-in-law is the internal minister, how can I afford this?"

"Mr. Ge is worried about national affairs, so our family naturally has to think about Mr. Ge a lot. Our family has also heard about what happened that day. In fact, it is no wonder that Supervisor Wei is responsible. Supervisor Wei was really frightened by the civil uprising. Think about it. Nan Zhili is the financial source of the imperial court. If there is no money and food from Nanzhili, how can the imperial court survive?

Therefore, there is no room for chaos in South Zhili. The supervisor of Wei is also for state affairs, so please relax. I have absolutely no dissatisfaction with you." Wang Tigan said something to reassure Wei Guanghui, and Wei Guanghui's embarrassed face became much better. After all, Wang Tigan has a special status. , his words still carry a lot of weight.

"Thank you, father-in-law. You say this and I feel much better. Alas...! I was too hasty in doing things and caused such a big trouble for the factory owner."

"Haha! Mr. Ge is wrong to think that you are responsible for this matter.

Most of the people in Donglin are rich people in Jiangnan. The plutocrats in Jiangnan have also made a lot of money through Donglin in recent years. Just because the gentry does not pay taxes, the money they save every year is equivalent to the amount of money they can carry on their cars.

Now that Donglin has lost power, are the plutocrats in Jiangnan willing to give up? This time, they are just using Zhou Shunchang's incident to cause trouble. Do you think that no one is organizing a series of connections behind the scenes, and hundreds of thousands of people can coordinate? After killing Dongchang's people, There were no big troubles among the people. This in itself shows that those who took the lead in making troubles had masterminds behind them.

The government offices were not burned, and the officials were not killed. Even local officials were not killed, and there was not much chaos in the market. The crime of treason was definitely not a crime. At most, it was just lawless people gathering to cause trouble.

So! The water behind this matter is deep." Wang Tiqian spoke unhurriedly, but Wei Guanghui's expression changed one after another.

If it is ordinary people who make trouble, the trouble will be huge. If it is not corrected, someone will rise up and shout. The biggest source of wealth for the imperial court is in danger of falling into corruption. The north has already become this bad. If the south continues to be bad. There really is no cure!

But if Dong Lin takes the opportunity to cause trouble, that's different. Wei Zhongxian is afraid of the common people making trouble, but he is not afraid of the Dong Lin Party making trouble. No matter what, it is just a party. If the imperial state machine violently crushes him, he will not trust Dong Lin. Lin's party will not be broken into pieces.

Aren't tough people like Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou, and Wei Dazhong all lying in coffins now?

"What do you mean, father-in-law... Donglin was behind this incident?" Wei Guanghui was asking Wang Tiqian, and at the same time he was asking himself.

"Haha! The incident happened in Nanzhili, the base of Donglin. With the tactics of the Donglin Party, it is simply too easy to instigate a few desperadoes to cause some trouble. Our family also said just now, If no one organized this matter, I am afraid that someone would have climbed up and gathered a crowd to rebel. In that case, you would not be lying at home to recuperate. You would be planning food and crops and thinking about which troops to send to clear it out.

Half a month has passed, and there is no movement at all in Nanzhili. It means that the other party just wants to cause trouble and does not want to rebel! Scholars are rebelling, and they don't have the ability yet."

"Yes, yes! It must be the Donglin Party members who are behind it, otherwise such a strange thing would definitely not happen." Wei Guanghui suddenly realized that he had been catching ghosts all his life, and today he actually encountered a ghost hitting the wall.

For such a simple matter, Wang Tiqian had to remind himself. He should have known that this matter was instigated by the Donglin Party. The purpose was to put pressure on the court and prevent Wei Zhongxian and his party from dealing with the Donglin Party unscrupulously.

"Mr. Ge has actually seen through it a long time ago. Our family is just straight-minded and just said it!" Wang Tigan smiled and looked at Wei Guanghui who suddenly realized it. After living in the palace for many years, humility has been burned into his bones. He has lived for decades. Years old, my hair has turned gray. I have seen countless domineering people, and now those people, no matter older or younger than me, have been buried in the soil. Only me, a humble person, is still alive here. world.

If you want to live, try not to be arrogant. This is the way of life that Wang Tiqian has learned through his years in the palace!

"My father-in-law is joking, I will go see the factory father now. Since it is Donglin who is making trouble, naturally his claws are stretched out to hide his claws, and his hooves are stretched out to chop the hooves. Humph! If you dare to give me eye drops, I will not make it easy for you. ." After confirming that it was not a civil uprising, Wei Guanghui immediately became energetic.

Thinking about it, I am really stupid. Only people in the northwest who don’t have enough to eat will rebel. In the south of the Yangtze River, where everyone is rich and well-fed and well-fed, only fools will rebel.

"Ouch! Just talk for a while, and His Majesty will wake up from his nap in half an hour. We have to rush to serve, so we won't talk to Mr. Ge. Farewell!" The goal has been achieved, and Wang Tiqian will naturally not stay any longer.

With Wei Guanghui's knife, we must clean up the Donglin Party forces in the south of the Yangtze River. If King Zhu Youjian becomes emperor in the future, with a little appeasement and win over, the hard-hit Donglin Party will stand up gratefully. , that group of people needs people and money. Once they have their support, it will be difficult for this country to be stable.

After asking his son to send Wang Tiqian out, Wei Guanghui lifted up the quilt. He loudly ordered his servants to help him put on his official uniform and go to meet his father Wei Zhongxian, the eunuch who was not his biological son.

After listening to Wei Guanghui's story, Wei Zhongxian immediately became angry. What he was afraid of was that the common people would cause trouble, which would lead to the court having to send troops, and he would never be able to hide it from the emperor. If that day comes, he will live to the end.

Regardless of the fact that Wei Zhongxian is so famous now, the people around him are fawning over him, and some people respectfully call him Nine Thousand Years Old. Some people even built a shrine for Wei Zhongxian so that this living sage can enjoy the incense.

The prefect of Fengyang actually built Wei Zhongxian's birth shrine next to the tomb of Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang.

If Zhu Yuanzhang, the powerful hero of the generation, knew that a dead eunuch dared to compete with him for territory, he would probably be so angry that he would chew through the coffin, jump out and bite Wei Zhongxian alive.

But Wei Zhongxian himself knew that no matter how prosperous he was now, his identity had not fundamentally changed. He was just a slave. The emperor's slave, as long as the emperor sends a note, he will immediately be wiped out.

No matter how much he is praised by others, Wei Zhongxian clearly knows this.

So he deceived the emperor, so he was afraid that the emperor would give birth to a child who would not listen to him. So...! He must not hold on to his power tightly!

The emperor naturally couldn't hide the common people's rebellion. But when the Donglin Party caused trouble, there was no need to hide it from the emperor. Over the years, the emperor had become tired of it, and even hated and hated the Donglin Party's coercion and self-respect. Since he allowed himself to attack the Donglin Party, Naturally, he wouldn't care if Wei Zhongxian killed a few more people in Jiangnan.

This time the Jinyiwei came on stage. After all, the Jinyiwei were considered an army establishment. These rough guys were particularly good at fighting, and it would be easy to defeat ten of them just by one. Let them go out to deal with the common people, which would definitely kill a chicken with a sledgehammer.

The prefect of Suzhou, Mao Yilu, is going crazy. How can he dare to delay a case that Jiu Qiansui, the most powerful person in power at that time, has named him to supervise the case? There are also Jin Yiwei watching over the case. If the troublemaker is not arrested, he will probably get in.

To say that the yamen was determined to arrest people, it was done vigorously and resolutely.

In less than a day, all the culprits were brought to justice. There were seven people in total. After being identified by the Jinyi guards, they were taken directly to cause trouble and chopped into two halves with a knife.

Wang Chengen came to Wang Tiqian's study again. They already knew what happened in Jiangnan. This time the Donglin Party had only chopped off a few minions, and the scholar was just a coward. I thought they would make some noise, but they didn't expect how many people had just been chopped off. The minions were scared.

Now no one from the Donglin Party dares to stand up and cause trouble. Everyone is as obedient as a little sheep.

"Brother! I really like you. I went to talk to Wei Guanghui for a while. Wei Zhongxian made up his mind to do such a thing in Jiangnan. I heard that Wei Zhongxian compiled all the Donglin Party members according to the names in "Water Margin". What is "Donglin Dianjianglu"...!"

"Haha! If you don't tell me, I want to tell you. This is really a joke. Your Majesty, you don't know what "Water Margin" is at all. Wei Zhongxian listed Li Sancai as Chao Gai, the King of Towers. Your Majesty He also asked, who is Chao Gai?

Wei Zhongxian also vividly told what Chao Gai had done. Who would have thought that His Majesty would blurt it out. What a towering king, brave and resourceful. Didn't you see that Wei Zhongxian's face at that time was so wonderful." Wang Tiqian thought of yesterday. Wei Zhongxian looked so embarrassed that he couldn't help but laugh.

"Programmer, I think Wei Zhongxian will be so angry when we come up with such a result! Cough! Cough! Cough!" Wang Chengen was drinking tea. After hearing Wang Tiqian's words, a mouthful of tea stuck in his throat, which made Wang Chengen cough.

"But if Wei Zhongxian makes such a fuss, the Donglin Party will never come forward. If Wei Zhongxian is allowed to dominate like this, the master...!" Wang Tiqian helped Wang Chengen pat his back and said to Zhu Youjian. The future is very worrying.

"Don't worry, I don't know what tricks the Hakka family used. The queen's child was aborted! Since your majesty has no heirs, it is only natural for brothers to succeed their brothers. It's not like this has never happened before in this dynasty."

Wang Chengen refers to Emperor Jiajing. Emperor Zhengde spent his whole life without a son. In the end, he died and could only be found among the princes of his immediate family.

In the same way, if Zhu Youxiao dies without a son now, Zhu Youjian will definitely be the first heir to the throne!

"This is the truth, but after all, His Majesty is only in his twenties this year. Now I am thinking about His Majesty's loyalty..., it seems...!" Wang Tiqian was embarrassed to say more, but looked at Wang Chengen helplessly. He didn't know this Brothers, what are your plans?

Although there were only two of them in the study room, Wang Chengen still looked around. "Brother, I won't hide it from you. In the spring of this year, my master met a Landao Navigation Master at Baiyunguan. This man is not only proficient in magic, but also for Master Phi Gua.

It was a coincidence that the master was standing under the locust tree that day. The trees were full of white locust flowers that day, and the master did not reveal his identity. Naolan Daochang immediately revealed the identity of the master, and also He said that the master is a king. And the white flowers on his head are white for the king...!" At this point, Wang Chenen paused deliberately.

"King Jiabai, you mean the emperor...!" Wang Tiqian subconsciously covered his mouth.

"Taoist Master Nalan has some skills, and my brother saw it with his own eyes that day. He drank in this cup of tea with his own work. He could also use his work to hang a stone lock and walk like a normal person.

Now that Taoist Master Lan has joined his master, you will introduce him to His Majesty in a few days. I believe that Your Majesty will be shocked when he sees his abilities. You don’t have to worry about the rest. I believe that. Our master will be here soon." When Wang Chengen said that, he looked envious.

Eunuchs are looked down upon by others because they lack something, so they are particularly envious and jealous of these things.
