After talking secretly with his father-in-law Xue Lian, although Wu Shigong still believed that his father-in-law Xue Lian had many ways to contact Emperor Chongzhen. However, I also know the father-in-law of Qin who believes in the palace. Anyway, one more road is always haode. So, on the morning of the next day, Wu Shigong didn't go to the Terracotta Division at all, and went directly to the Shengyun Gambling House with makeup, and entered a secret room on the third floor of the gambling house. Then, he asked the shopkeeper Zheng to call Gonggong Qin's younger brother over.

After Gonggong Qin's younger brother came, Wu Shigong didn't say a word, and gave him three hundred taels of silver first. and told Gonggong Qin's younger brother: Wu Shigong wants to meet Gonggong Qin. Regardless of whether Gonggong Qin's younger brother can find it, he can't find Gonggong Qin. These three hundred taels of silver are all the hardships of Qin's father-in-law and younger brother. Moreover, as long as Father-in-law Qin came to meet him and listened to a few words from himself, Wu Shigong would also give Father-in-law Qin 2,000 taels of silver for his hard work.

Wu Shigong did not hesitate to spend a lot of money in order to spread the news. Maybe it's money that makes the devil grind. The younger brother of Gonggong Qin went around outside, and then came back to tell Wu Shigong: Gonggong Qin will go to the gambling house at noon to meet Wu Shigong.

"That's just great!" Wu Shigong, who was unexpectedly smooth, couldn't help but cheer in his heart.

In fact, things are not as complicated as Wu Shigong thought. Maybe Wu Shigong didn't spend a tael of silver, and Gonggong Qin would also meet Wu Shigong after getting the news. On the contrary, Xue Lian was crowded in the palace, and it was very inconvenient to contact Emperor Chongzhen.

After Emperor Chongzhen ascended the throne, he felt that Wei Zhongxian's shili, especially Wei Zhongxian's shili in the palace, was particularly huge, so he felt particularly afraid. Therefore, he only believed that he believed in the eunuchs and guards in the palace. Let them all come to their side to protect them. Even the food and drink are only made and delivered by their own queens.

But Emperor Chongzhen can't always shrink into this turtle shell? He still needs to know about the outside news. Therefore, he asked the most trusted eunuchs and guards around him to send people out to inquire about the news. That Gonggong Qin is also one of them.

However, those eunuchs and guards were originally powerless in the palace of King Xin, and there were few subordinates and friends who could be trusted. So, they basically send their own relatives. The one sent out by Gonggong Qin happened to be his younger brother.

After receiving the news from his younger brother, Gonggong Qin immediately reported it to Emperor Chongzhen and the great eunuch beside him, Wang Chengen. Because, Wu Shigong, the commander of the Nancheng Soldiers and Horses Command Division, is insignificant, but the role of Wu Shigong's father-in-law Xue Lian is very important. Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen and Wang Chengen immediately decided to let Gonggong Qin immediately put on makeup and leave the palace to listen to what Wu Shigong was going to say?

At noon, Father-in-law Qin sneakily entered the gambling house after putting on makeup, and was immediately taken into the secret room by the shopkeeper Zheng. After the shopkeeper Zheng retreated, Wu Shigong immediately went straight to the point and said to Gonggong Qin: His father-in-law Xue Lian and Wu Shigong are ready to lose their sincerity to Emperor Chongzhen.

Wu Shigong then said to Gonggong Qin: In order to show his sincerity, Wu Shigong will immediately resign from his official position as the commander of the Nancheng Soldiers and Horses Command Division, and his successor will be arranged by Emperor Chongzhen. If Emperor Chongzhen agrees to their sincerity, Xue Lian will also immediately resign from his position in Jingying. And Xue Lian and Wu Shigong's sincerity only needs one promise from Emperor Chongzhen, that is, to keep the title of Marquis of Yangwu and the safety of the Xue family.

Wu Shigong said to Gonggong Qin in Zuihou: In order to express his gratitude to Wang Chengen and Gonggong Qin, Wu Shigong will give this gambling house to Wang Chengen. In addition to the 2,000 taels of hardship, Wu Shigong will give him another 2,000 taels of silver.

After listening to Wu Shigong's words, Gonggong Qin was simply ecstatic. Not for those benefits. Now that Emperor Chongzhen has ascended the throne, the entire Xinwang Mansion is worrying, how to open the situation of being dominated by Wei Zhongxian? Suddenly, such good news came from Wu Shigong, so how could it make Gonggong Qin unhappy?

Of course, having such a big benefit, the icing on the cake windfall also made Father-in-law Qin even happier.

Gonggong Qin asked Wu Shigong to wait in the gambling house, and he immediately rushed back to the palace to report to Emperor Chongzhen.

After getting the message from Gonggong Qin, Emperor Chongzhen was of course very excited. However, he was only sixteen years old at this time, and he could not fully analyze the rules and regulations of this good news, so he turned his inquiring attention to the great eunuch Wang Chengen beside him.

Wang Chengen immediately stepped forward and analyzed to Emperor Chongzhen: If Xue Lian is sincere, it will definitely be good. If Xue Lian was just testing Emperor Chongzhen's attitude, as long as Xue Lian's resignation was handed over, Xue Lian's resignation would be made public in the court. It will also play a great role in dividing Wei Zhongxian's party and opening a gap in the current Wei Zhongxian's party.

In addition, Emperor Chongzhen's most urgent problem now is to ensure the safety of his life. What is missing is the armed liliang of the capital. And Xue Lian's son-in-law's position as the commander of the Nancheng Soldiers and Horses is held by someone close to Emperor Chongzhen. Even if the Liliang of the Nancheng Soldiers and Horses Command Division is small, it is also an armed liliang in the capital. Therefore, it is necessary to send someone close to Emperor Chongzhen to grasp it as soon as possible.

Wang Chengen Zuihou said to Emperor Chongzhen: As for Emperor Chongzhen's promise to Xue Lian, you might as well agree first. If Emperor Chongzhen really takes power, Xue Lian doesn't make any demon moths, and keeps Xue Lian's title and wealth, so what? Even if Emperor Chongzhen wanted to clean up Xue Lian, Xue Lian at that time was powerless, and he didn't pinch it as much as he wanted!

After listening to Wang Chengen's analysis, Emperor Chongzhen immediately made a decision, asking Gonggong Qin to go to Wu Shigong immediately, and agreed to Wu Shigong's request.

After the father-in-law of Qin came to the gambling house sneakily again, he told Wu Shigong that Emperor Chongzhen had fully agreed to Wu Shigong's request. And within two days, he will send people to the Nancheng Soldiers and Horses Command Division to take over the command of Wu Shigong.

Wu Shigong, who was under joy, was very grateful to Gonggong Qin. He immediately took out four thousand taels of silver tickets and gave them to Gonggong Qin. and took out the house deed and title deed of the gambling house, and entrusted the father-in-law of Qin to transfer it to Wang Chengen.

At the time of the breakup, Wu Shigong also assured Gonggong Qin that his father-in-law Xue Lian's resignation would be delivered very quickly.

In addition, Wu Shigong asked Gonggong Qin for two things. One is: please ask Wang Chengen to treat the shopkeeper and guys left behind in the gambling house. As Wu Shigong's house slaves, Wu Shigong will definitely not leave them behind. And those dealers are all the little servants of the Yangwu Hou family, and they will definitely not stay. Wu Shigong cares about nothing more than the shopkeeper Zheng. The old man was also quite pitiful, he had worked in the gambling house for more than a year, and only half of the debt was paid. Wu Shigong can only do his best for Zheng Shopkeeper now.

The second thing is: Wu Shigong told Gonggong Qin that he might leave the capital and take up a local post. He asked Gonggong Qin and Wang Chengen not to mention himself in front of Emperor Chongzhen in the future. It is better to let Emperor Chongzhen completely forget about himself.

Just made a great contribution to Emperor Chongzhen, and got such a large benefit from Wu Shigong, Gonggong Qin agreed to Wu Shigong's two small requests. After that, Gonggong Qin hurried back to the palace and reported the good news to Emperor Chongzhen.

While Gonggong Qin shuttled to deliver the news, Xue Lian in the palace also found Wei Zhongxian. He told Wei Zhongxian that he would soon submit his resignation and resign from his position in Beijing.

Xue Lian bluntly confessed to Wei Zhongxian: His actions were to keep the Xue family safe.

In addition, Xue Lian also told Wei Zhongxian that his son-in-law would also resign from the position of commander of the Soldiers and Horses Division and would leave the capital. Xue Lian asked Wei Zhongxian to do him a favor and choose a better position for his son-in-law. After saying these words, Xue Lian left.

After receiving the news of Xue Lian's resignation, the backbone of Wei Zhongxian's party gathered around Wei Zhongxian and came up with ideas. Some of them demanded that Wei Zhongxian crack down Xue Lian's betrayal; Some people like Li Chengzuo actually asked Wei Zhongxian to strengthen his control over the government and completely put Emperor Chongzhen in the air.

Wei Zhongxian didn't say anything, he let these miscellaneous henchmen disperse and let himself be alone. At this time, Wei Zhongxian was a little desolate in his heart: why didn't he want to get out of the way? For Xue Lian, the old brother who has been with him for the longest time, let's fulfill his wish!

At this time, Wei Zhongxian was still completely in control of the government, so he quickly took the appointment letter of Wu Shigong's new position from the Ministry of War. When Wei Zhongxian handed over the letter of appointment to Xue Lian, Xue Lian couldn't help but pat his thigh when he looked at the position, and shouted: "Wonderful! Great! ”

When Xue Lian and Wei Zhongxian broke up, their hands were tightly clasped and refused to part for a long time. They all knew that it would never be possible for the two of them to drink together and talk about family life in the future.
