Chapter 539: Suspicion
King Shin went all the way back to his dwelling, and his face was very unhappy.
The errand boy who had been beaten ten strokes had already returned, and when he saw King Shin coming in, he hurried to the door to meet him.
The errand kowtowed to the king of letters and said, "The slave has seen His Highness." ”
King Xin glanced at him, and suddenly said, "The outside is in the Xiuxin Palace, you go outside to be an overseer." ”
Xiuxin Wang's Mansion is the function of the eunuchs, a small errand who follows King Xin, of course, there is no oil and water to fish when he arrives there, and it is really a very poor chore.
As soon as the eunuch was recruited, he quickly kowtowed and said: "The slave is willing to serve by His Royal Highness's side, and I don't want to go out." ”
"If you are told to go, you will go!" King Xin said with a grim face: "Besides, I will call someone to beat you again." ”
The eunuch didn't know what had gone wrong, but he didn't dare to say anything more, so he had to kowtow and resign, and withdrew with a sad face.
The few eunuchs on the side did not speak, they were very clear about the thoughts of King Xin, although this errand was for King Xin to carry the thunder and bear the crime, but King Xin would think of this matter when he saw him, how could he keep this person by his side?
This little prince has always been this way of thinking when dealing with things, and everyone is not surprised.
After entering the house, King Xin sat alone in a daze, and others did not dare to disturb, after half a ring, King Xin asked someone to send a pen and paper, studied ink, and he picked up a pen to write.
After writing a few lines, the king of letters put the paper ball again, called a eunuch, and instructed: "In two days, it will be Mr. Zhou's turn to enter the palace, and Gu will not go to listen to the lecture if he is not feeling well for a few days. That's it, remember? ”
The eunuch answered, and the king flicked his sleeves and told everyone else to retreat.
Today, the emperor participated in the daily lecture presided over by Hanlin in the Wenhua Palace, and King Xin also followed a Hanlin to study Tongjian, the Hanlin surnamed Zhou deliberately mentioned the recent dispute between Wei Zhongxian and Donglin, and said that Wei Zhongxian was very hateful, of course, the gentlemen of Donglin were flawless gentlemen and upright people, King Xin was originally a little dissatisfied with Wei Zhongxian, Wei Zhongxian presided over the major events in the palace, and did not pay much attention to King Xin, and there was restraint and neglect in the time of worship, and King Xin was very displeased, this time he was surnamed Zhou. King Xin was planning to beat the side drum in front of the imperial brother to remind the imperial brother to be careful when appointing eunuchs...... As a result, in the warm pavilion, he heard the apocalypse praising Zhang Han for his youth and promisingness, and King Xin was very unconvinced when he heard it, and his mind was scattered, and he accidentally kicked over a vase.
The face-loving King Xin cleaned himself up, and sent the errand of the top thunder, but his mood was still very bad, although he was only a teenager, but his heart has always been very high, and he even felt that the imperial brother was not as good as himself...... How can there be an emperor who doesn't work hard every day to learn literature, history and scriptures, but when he has free time, he goes to work as a carpenter?
At this moment, King Shin felt that there was someone from the temple gate, and he looked at it, and it was a thin figure.
This is Wang Chengen, who is about the same age as King Xin, and is a small fire person who is very relieved to King Xin, who is ready to be brought from the palace to King Xin's mansion after a while.
After Wang Chengen came in, he said anxiously: "Your Highness, there is something going out of the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry today. ”
King Xin said: "Slow down, how big can it be?" ”
Wang Chengen held a red tray in his hand, on which was a bowl of bird's nest porridge, and unlike the Emperor of the Apocalypse, who liked to eat chowder, King Xin's favorite was this exquisite dessert.
While eating porridge, King Xin said to Wang Chengen, "What's wrong?" ”
"Wei Daguan sent Gao Qi to sneak to the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry, brought a lot of servants and brocade guards, took out Wanjing of the Ministry of Industry Langzhong from the Yamen, and beat a hundred canes on the street, the slave and maid saw it very clearly on the side, although Wanjing did not die on the spot, but the lower half of his body was broken, the flesh and blood flew sideways, and the broken meat almost flew to the slave's face......"
Wang Chengen said that Wang Chengen suddenly felt nauseous, he pushed the bowl away angrily, and said angrily: "Okay, don't say it again!" ”
King Xin suddenly felt lucky, Wei Zhongxian's power is getting higher and higher, mastering the internal exercise, I heard that the imperial brother is also planning to hand over the Dongchang to this person, plus his power in the master of ceremonies, the inner court is equivalent to Wei Zhongxian's control, King Xin thought that if he said something dissatisfied with Wei Zhongxian today, I am afraid that the rumors will soon reach this person's ears, and he will not even be able to keep his own safety at that time, what else to talk about the court and the country?
King Xin looked at Wang Chengen and said quietly: "There is a piece of jade pendant alone, which was personally rewarded by Emperor Daxing before his death, and it was said that Emperor Xianzong used it, and the jade quality is very warm, you gave this jade pendant to Wei Daguan for me, and said that it was given to him by Lonely." ”
"Huh?"
Wang Chengen was taken aback, and his mouth was open.
"Go!" King Xin said sharply: "What did he say, and what kind of reaction did he have, and he will explain it carefully to me when he comes back!" ”
After Wang Chengen left, King Xin felt that he was not safe, and everyone around him was a little suspicious, he didn't even dare to drink water, nor did he dare to ask someone to test the poison...... He was afraid that Wei Zhongxian would be more suspicious and hostile to himself after he found out, and everything could only be said after Wang Chengen came back, and King Xin also wished that the outer mansion would be repaired quickly, so he could move out of the palace and live in his own palace, so that he could be farther away from danger.
"Wei Zhongxian......" King Xin's face was pale, and he muttered Wei Zhongxian's name in his heart, eager to order this gelding dog to be cut into a hundred pieces immediately!
There is also that Zhang Han, King Xin suddenly remembered this person in his heart, Wanjing's death and Wang Xinyi's twists and turns are inseparable, and Wang Xinyi is because of the impeachment of Zhang Han, the two are deeply related, Zhang Han made clear the relationship with Wei Zhongxian, in short, everything is related to this martial artist and businessman from Shanxi Xingdusi.
"How can Zhang Siwei be such a descendant, it's simply insulting!" King Xin thought angrily, this Zhang Han didn't say that he was cultivating and reading heirlooms, turned into a businessman, and then became a martial artist, every way is a heresy in the eyes of King Xin, and this person is still very smooth, and he has been praised by the imperial brother from the bottom of his heart, and the imperial brother likes people like Wei Zhongxian and Zhang Han.
"It's a pity that Lone didn't have a chance to ......" King Xin sat as he sat with a faint glint in his eyes.
……
Wanjing was killed by a rod, and then another imperial history was killed by a rod because of improper speech, and several families were killed because of disrespectful discussions about Wei Zhongxian in private, after a few things, the Beijing officialdom went to the people to know that Wei Zhongxian was really here this time, every time he arrested and beat people, it was in the name of oral advice, and it was impossible for officials to go to the palace to ask the emperor if this was true...... Wei Zhongxian put on an overly defensive face, because Wang Xinyi provoked in front, there was still a little vague justice, at least the bosses of the Donglin Party, Ye Xianggao and Han Yi and others had no way to openly support the juniors on their side, the cabinet could only calm down, and several scholars met with Wei Zhongxian in private, and asked Wei Daguan to stop, this matter came to an end first.
Wei Zhongxian feels that this is almost the end, no one in the Donglin Party has made a move at present, Wan Jing and others are on the periphery, and some are not even counting the periphery of Donglin, or beating or killing, the officialdom is slaughtered, at least on the surface, no one dares to come forward again, let alone come out to find death at this time, disrespectful to Wei Zhongxian or the Hakka family.
Looking back for more than a year, these civil officials were still aggressive to drive Wei Zhongxian and the Hakka out of the palace, Wei Zhongxian and the Hakka were very panicked, and the Hakka also cried a few times in front of the apocalypse......
……
At dusk, Wei Guangwei, the newly appointed scholar of the East Pavilion University of the Cabinet, sat in a sedan chair carried by four people, and rushed to Yongfang to visit the Imperial Shi Zhao and Nanxing of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
Now there are Ye Xianggao and Han Yi in the cabinet, these two people are the bosses of the Donglin Party, and Sun Chengzong, who went out, although he has the name of the cabinet, he is actually not a member of the cabinet, and Shen Zhen is also ranked before Wei Guangwei, that is to say, according to the tradition of the Ming cabinet, if Wei Guangwei wants to become the first assistant, there are still several mountains to climb ahead.
Sometimes it's not necessarily, for example, some university scholars are worried about the death of their parents, so re-enter the cabinet, even if they are temporarily ranked behind, the first assistant can also jump up and become the first assistant, and there are various rankings such as subject names, positions, qualifications, etc., but in the cabinet, the most important thing is the time to enter the cabinet, and other qualifications are virtual and do not have much meaning.
Wei Guangwei had already visited Ye Xianggao, and stayed at the Ye Mansion for a banquet, Ye Xianggao was very polite to him, after all, Wei Guangwei's father Wei Yunzhen and the Donglin Party used to be very close, and they still had a friendship with each other.
With Wei Guangwei's current identity, there was no need to visit anyone except the scholars, at most when there was a wedding and funeral in the prince's house, the bachelor of the Ming Cabinet, although he was not the prime minister, but the people and the officialdom often regarded him as the prime minister, and of course the status was not as good as the prime minister of the former Song Dynasty, but he also had his own honor and dignity, that is, in the ritual system, in addition to the clan and the prince, he was the earl, the captain of the horse, and the official of the six departments, and the etiquette was still inferior to the scholar.
Wei Guangwei's sedan chair arrived at the front gate of the Zhao Mansion, of course, it also stopped near the main entrance, and a long follower hurriedly stepped forward and handed the greeting post in his hand to the Zhao Mansion gatehouse.
"Wait."
Those who can be the gatekeeper in the mansion of high-ranking officials are all flexible and well-informed, and when they saw the attitude of the gatekeeper of the Zhao Mansion, Wei Guangwei's long-term entourage was stunned.
After a while, the porter came out, stuffed the worship post back to the Wei Governor, and said loudly: "My lord said that he was unwell today, and asked the Wei Pavilion Department to move back, and he will be gone today." ”
Wei Guangwei heard it in the sedan chair, opened the sedan curtain and said, "Does Uncle Shi have any symptoms?" ”
Wei Guangwei was a little anxious between his eyebrows, this is not a fraud, he is more than forty years old this year, his father had a very close past with Zhao and Nanxing when he was a teenager, and the two families are good friends, Wei Guangwei also once followed Zhao and Nanxing to learn Jingyi, and the friendship between them is still very good.
The porter didn't answer, just sneered.
Wei Guangwei's previous pride was gone, and he knew that something was wrong.
