According to the emperor's tone just now, and the way the emperor said it, if the emperor is determined to protect Wei Bao, the four articles just now are very hopeful!

In Kebaba's opinion, at most, it is more troublesome for the knight and the emperor to recognize Wei Bao's concubine as the emperor's sister, as for Wei Bao's promotion from the fourth rank to the third grade, and Wu Xiang's promotion to the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan, there will not be too much of a problem.

Could it be that Wei Zhongxian has changed his temper and doesn't want money?

It stands to reason that it shouldn't, if Wei Zhongxian thinks about the Ming court, in fact, Wei Bao is knighted, and Wei Bao's concubine is considered the emperor's sister by the emperor, in fact, the impact on the Ming court is minimal, at most, it makes the ministers feel that the emperor is too fond of Wei Bao, these two, you Wei Zhongxian don't have to obstruct it, right?

When Zhu Youxiao heard this, he frowned, thinking of the noisy officials in the court, and the scene where they were about to die in the Golden Palace at every turn, it was also very annoying.

"Father-in-law Wei, Father-in-law Wang, you go to the cabinet, talk to a few of them first, I don't want to see them, everything will wait for tomorrow in the court, there is only one, tell them, I want to give Wei Bao's reward, no one should stop me, stop me from giving Wei Bao a reward, let them go to the gate to fight Jiannu by themselves." Zhu Youxiao smiled, feeling that his idea was very good, and then waved his hand and said, "You guys go and do something, I still have to finish the work at hand." ”

Wei Zhongxian and Wang Tiqian glanced at each other, and the two of them said in unison: "Yes, Your Majesty." ”

Then they all stepped back.

Kebaba, Wei Zhongxian and Wang Tiqian all felt that the emperor seemed to have grown recently, and seemed to be able to sort out a lot of things, just take the matter of rewarding Wei Bao this time, the emperor seemed to be very sober-minded, what to do, and the decision was very right, and he was not led by Wei Zhongxian.

Wei Zhongxian wanted to use the cabinet's obstruction to discount Wei Bao's reward.

In fact, Wei Zhongxian wanted to obstruct Wu Xiang from becoming the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan, and Wei Zhongxian knew very well that this matter was Wei Bao's biggest profit!

But Wei Zhongxian couldn't say it clearly, because among the four conditions required by Wei Bao, this matter was actually the least difficult.

Wei Zhongxian hopes that the cabinet will understand this.

Moreover, Sun Chengzong's recital, although he praised Wei Bao and asked the court to reward Wei Bao, he did not mention anything about Wu Xiang, and vaguely pointed out that Shanhaiguan has a heavy responsibility, and it is best for Wei Bao to personally take charge of the army, not to pretend to others.

In Wei Zhongxian's opinion, Wei Bao is in charge of the army personally, so it is better to hand it over to Wu Xiang.

Because whether Wei Bao controls the Shanhaiguan soldiers and horses, or Wu Xiang controls the Shanhaiguan soldiers and horses, it is equivalent to Wei Bao's control.

Wu Xiang's control of the soldiers and horses in Shanhaiguan is equivalent to his completion of Wei Bao's requirements, not only can Wei Bao's silver be obtained, but with Wei Zhongxian's understanding of Wu Xiang, Wu Xiang will definitely have to give a large amount of silver to himself afterwards.

Forget it, don't think about it, just look at what the cabinet ministers say.

Wei Zhongxian sighed faintly.

"Factory father, things are not going very well, are they all going according to the factory company's plan? The factory seems to be still not satisfied? Wang Tiqian asked strangely.

"No, let Wei Bao get the military power of Shanhaiguan, our family is still a little worried!" Wei Zhongxian said.

"The factory is worried that Wei Bao is not good for Daming?" Wang Tiqian said.

"That's not it, but Shanhaiguan is the first pass in the world, and whoever controls Shanhaiguan is equivalent to controlling most of Jiliao, and it is equivalent to controlling the throat inside and outside the pass." Wei Zhongxian said.

Wang Tiqian nodded, "Then why didn't the factory minister say it in front of His Majesty just now, or don't let me mention Wu Xiang's appointment as the chief soldier of Zhangshan Customs before." ”

"Forget it, Wu Xiang's person has been in contact with our family, he is a very timid person, he is not a talent to lead troops at all, he is in charge of the army, after all, it is different from Wei Bao personally in charge of the army. Our family heard that the relationship between Wei Bao and Liaodong Jiangmen is not harmonious, and Liaodong Jiangmen are all together, even if Wu Xiang and Wei Bao are Weng sons-in-law, once power and interests are involved, they can't be regarded as one person. Wei Zhongxian comforted himself.

Wang Tiqian smiled and nodded: "What the factory man said is that it will be done to manage the affairs of the court, and the factory will worry about too many things, and those things outside the gate, as long as they know how to be filial, the factory will come by themselves." ”

Wei Zhongxian said with a smile: "Filial piety is not affected, no matter who is in charge of the army, it is impossible to respect our family!" Of course, you all have a part in it. ”

"Thank you!" Wang Tiqian hurriedly smiled.

Wang Tiqian also knew the stakes, and knew that the easiest thing to do, Wu Xiang's promotion to the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan, was actually the one that benefited Wei Bao the most, and he was secretly relieved to see that Wei Zhongxian was no longer entangled in this.

Wang Tiqian is not like Wei Zhongxian, Wei Zhongxian is determined to maintain the Ming court, and the desire for power is too great!

As long as Wang Tiqian can secretly get some benefits, keep his position, and keep his interests, it's fine.

Even if Wei Zhongxian falls in the future, just don't involve him.

As for Wei Bao's good mix outside, his power is getting bigger and bigger, Wei Bao is his godnephew who he secretly recognizes, and he is only good for himself, and there is no harm in it.

Wei Zhongxian thought that the emperor was going to give Wei Bao a marquis, and shook his head with a wry smile, "I don't know how those ministers will react when they know that His Majesty is going to give Wei Bao a marquis." ”

"The Marquis is not an exaggeration, is it? After all, so much credit. Wang Tiqian said with a smile: "Don't worry too much about this matter, anyway, Your Majesty brought it up by himself, let's just pass on a word, let the cabinet ministers go to Your Majesty if they have something, and the factory doesn't have to take it up." ”

Wei Zhongxian smiled and nodded, "Our family estimates that these people can jump!" You must know that for more than 100 years in the Ming Dynasty, only Li Chengliang got an earl. His Majesty actually came up and gave Wei Bao a marquis, which was still hereditary, and Li Chengliang's earl was still an earl who died and left nothing behind. His Majesty's favor for Wei Bao can be seen. ”

"I thought it was because the factory had this intention a long time ago, and told His Majesty about the title? Otherwise, how could His Majesty be so clear about the title? Wang Tiqian said tentatively. I felt that I seemed to have said too much for Wei Bao today, and I just pushed it on Wei Zhongxian.

"No, our family has never said anything about this to Your Majesty, and our family doesn't know very well what titles Daming has." Wei Zhongxian said.

Wei Zhongxian is also a little strange, Your Majesty is a little abnormal today?

Who told His Majesty about the title?

No one knew, because it was Kebaba who happened to say a few words to the emperor.

The reason why Kebaba said a few words by chance was actually to ask for a knighthood for his son.

I didn't expect it to be crooked, and it invisibly achieved Wei Bao.

Wang Tiqian nodded.

"I guess it's Mrs. Ke." Wei Zhongxian sighed and said with a smile: "I remember that she mentioned to me once that she might want to get her son a knighthood." ”

Wang Tiqian smiled and didn't say anything.

Wei Zhongxian's nephew, Wei Liangqing, also wanted to get a knighthood.

In the original history, in the sixth year of the Apocalypse, in 1626, Yuan Chonghuan Ning Yuan won a great victory, and Chonghuan was reprimanded for merit. Later, he entered the Marquis of Suning. In October of that year, the imperial court completed the construction of the three palaces, and the eunuch Li Yongzhen played Wei Zhongxian's meritorious service, and entered the lord of the prince, and Liangqing was also named the Duke of Ningguo and the Taishi.

It is now the late autumn of 1625, and Wei Zhongxian at this time is not so crazy, and in 1626, Wei Zhongxian, who covers the sky with one hand, will do everything, including giving his nephew a three-level promotion in the title, from earl to duke!

This time, if it is not Wei Bao who has made a great contribution, but Wei Liangqing, with such a great merit as killing tens of thousands of Jiannu, the duke is the basic one.

Wei Zhongxian and Wang Tiqian arrived at the compound of the cabinet office.

During this time, there were some changes in the personnel of the cabinet.

Gu Bingqian is still the first assistant, and the second assistant Zhu Yanxi is gone, and he was implicated in Yang Lianzuo Guangdou's case.

The eunuch minister Wei Guangwei is still there.

Zhou Rupan, the minister of the Donglin Party, like Zhu Yanxi, also left.

Eunuch Minister Huang Liji is still there.

Ding Shaoshi, the minister of the Donglin Party, is the only minister of the Donglin Party who remains in the cabinet.

Feng Quan, the minister of the eunuch party, is still here.

It is equivalent to removing Zhu Yanxi and Zhou Rupan, and leaving Gu Bingqian, Wei Guangwei, Huang Liji, Feng Quan and Ding Shaoshi.

Ding Shaoshi is now the only minister of the Donglin Party, and he is a little lonely.

Therefore, Wei Zhongxian actually doesn't need to communicate with the cabinet at all, and the cabinet is already tantamount to the dominance of the eunuch party.

But it is also impossible to expel all the ministers of the Donglin Party from the cabinet.

As long as there is a Donglin Party in the imperial court, the cabinet needs to have a Donglin Party minister.

A speaker is needed.

From this point, it can also be seen that the Ming system has a certain prototype of a modern parliamentary system and is very advanced.

Even if it is Wei Bao, Wei Bao cleaned up the Yanguan Yamen, cleaned up the Duchayuan and Dali Temple, Wei Bao has no way to eliminate all the existence of the Donglin Party.

Wei Zhongxian wanted Ding Shaoshi to act as the one who blocked the four conditions put forward by Wei Bao, at least to prevent Wu Xiang from being promoted to the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan!

Wei Zhongxian guessed that Ding Shaoshi would definitely do this.

Wang Tiqian first explained His Majesty's intentions, and explained in detail the four aspects of rewarding Wei Bao.

Gu Bingqian, Wei Guangwei, Huang Liji and Feng Quan looked at Wei Zhongxian, and then looked at each other, all wondering what they meant?

They knew that the emperor favored Wei Bao, and Wei Bao's relationship with Wei Gonggong seemed to be very close!

You don't have to speak, do you? Wouldn't it be enough?

Although the reward is a little exaggerated, it is not unreasonable to rely on Wei Bao's great contribution this time.

Wei Zhongxian said to everyone: "What? So much of a cabinet opinion this time? Do you think it's possible? ”

Wei Zhongxian originally wanted to ask Ding Shaoshi directly, but he couldn't help it and just glanced at Ding Shaoshi.

Ding Shaoshi's mind was spinning rapidly, calculating Wei Bao's promotion, Wei Bao's father-in-law as the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan, Wei Bao's knighthood, the emperor officiating Wei Bao's marriage, and recognizing Wei Bao's concubine as the emperor's sister, the impact of these events on the imperial court and the Donglin Party.

In fact, if you take a position, the court of the Donglin Party is inseparable from the Donglin Party, and the court of the Eunuch Party is inseparable from the Eunuch Party, which is equivalent to the same thing.

Ding Shaoshi still doesn't know which Wei Bao belongs to, Wei Bao has been promoted by Zhu Yanxi, and he is a disciple of Sun Chengzong, and this time Sun Chengzong also played the book for Wei Bao, Ding Shaoshi has already read the book.

Also, Wei Bao saved Yang Lian Zuo Guangdou, and left Yang Lian's daughter, Xiong Tingbi's daughter by his side, as well as a group of children of Donglin Party officials, all of whom were saved because of Wei Bao's relationship.

Saying that Wei Bao is the past that the Donglin Party may have said.

But if Wei Bao is a member of the Donglin Party, it is impossible to rise all the way in the hands of Wei Zhongxian, he has only been in the office for half a year, and he has been promoted from a seventh-grade official to a fourth-grade official, and he is only fifteen years old, these are very unreasonable, and they are also unheard of in the history of the Ming Dynasty.

said that Wei Bao had nothing to do with the eunuchs, but the ghosts didn't believe it.

Therefore, Ding Shaoshi believes that Wei Bao is very likely to be a speculative product that blows both sides, and that the centrist is a member of the eunuch party.

It can be seen that most of the people in the eunuch party must have at least stepped into Wei Zhongxian's sect with one foot.

Such human rights are too powerful, doesn't Wei Zhongxian want to cover the sky with one hand?

But Wei Bao's achievements are real, and the heads have been sent to the Beijing Division, there is no possibility of falsehood, and if it is fake, all the generals and officials of Jiliao, Liaoxi, and Liaodong will be faked together?

Could it be that Sun Chengzong is also cheating?

Gu Bingqian, Wei Guangwei, Huang Liji, and Feng Quan looked at each other again.

Ding Shaoshi always lowered his head, looking at the ground in front of him, looking distracted.

Ding Shaoshi is definitely not afraid of Wei Zhongxian, he is now a member of the Donglin Party, fighting alone in the cabinet, if he was afraid of Wei Zhongxian, he would have chosen to return to his hometown a long time ago.

"What the hell does it mean to be nine thousand years old?" Wei Guangwei asked Huang Liji and Feng Quan softly.

Huang Liji didn't speak, and Feng Quan said softly: "I guess I didn't ask us." He said that he pouted at Ding Shaoshi, meaning to ask Ding Shaoshi.

Wei Guangwei and Huang Liji suddenly realized that it should be like this.

"Princess, are these things put forward by His Majesty himself? Or did Wei Bao ask His Majesty? Huang Liji asked Wang Tiqian.

Wang Tiqian glanced at Wei Zhongxian and didn't know what to say.

"It's all Your Majesty's own will." Wei Zhongxian replied on behalf of Wang Tiqian.

A few people sighed, but they didn't believe it, how could His Majesty know that Wei Bao was going to marry a concubine? The star is Wei Bao first, and His Majesty will push the boat down the river and agree.

The reason why Huang Liji asked this was just to find out which ones Wei Bao took the initiative to ask for, and which ones His Majesty took the initiative to give.

Ding Shaoshi was still thinking about Sun Chengzong's recital.

Although Sun Chengzong is not a member of the Donglin Party, whether it is a member of the Donglin Party, a neutral official, or a eunuch, they actually respect Sun Chengzong's personality and know that Sun Chengzong will not engage in exaggeration.

Since there is such a great merit, it is logical to be promoted, and the other three are too exaggerated.

No matter how great the merit is, it hasn't reached the point where a fifteen-year-old person is knighted, right?

If the title is sealed, it is not a matter of several rank officials, and the lowest rank earl is no different from the first and second rank officials in terms of official position.
