Chapter 160: Can the Dead Wait?
The first wind and rain drifted away
In the cold wind, Lao Wang's eyes closed slightly, and he already understood the focus of his next move.
He pulled the horse's head, leaned over the horse and whispered, "Childe, the old slave understands." ”
As he said this, he sighed inwardly.
It turned out that he didn't find out that the emperor's thoughts were like an antelope hanging horns, and he seemed to be a little unable to keep up with the rhythm.
Emperor Chongzhen listened, nodded, and stopped saying anything else.
To be honest, Lao Wang has a gap with Wei Zhongxian in terms of ability.
The key is that he is an honest man and has no intention of harming others.
However, as long as he ordered him, he carried out it very thoroughly.
Actually, that's enough.
If he is really like Wei Zhongxian, Emperor Chongzhen will not feel at ease when he asks himself.
It's a big deal, just give me more guidance.
Seriously speaking, factory guards cannot have thoughts, this is political correctness.
Wei Zhongxian is only an exception in the special period.
This was a helpless move made by the Emperor of the Apocalypse after careful consideration.
However, this is undoubtedly very wise.
In that form, he could think of letting Wei Zhongxian out and keep the person he wanted to protect, how could it be done by a carpenter in the mouth of the Donglin Party?
"Let's go, go to Wen Shoufu's house to fight the autumn breeze."
It can be seen that the national abbot Zhou Kui is dead, and Emperor Chongzhen is really in a good mood, and he is actually interested in visiting Shoufu's house.
When the forbidden army in front heard this, they turned their horses and headed towards Wen Shoufu's mansion.
To be honest, in the past, Emperor Chongzhen had never been to the house of the traitorous minister, and he didn't know where the gate was.
But it's also simple, when you get to the vicinity of the mansion, just look at the cars and horses parked in front of the door.
The mansion of the treacherous minister was rewarded by Emperor Chongzhen, the courtyard of the deep mansion is luxurious, and the front door is full of carriages and horses.
It seems that recently, with the connivance of Emperor Chongzhen, the power of the treacherous minister is monstrous!
The guards stayed outside the mansion, under the order of Emperor Chongzhen, they were not allowed to report, and the housekeeper of the Wen Mansion led Emperor Chongzhen and Lao Wang into the mansion.
Emperor Chongzhen is planning to carry out a surprise attack to see which important ministers and celebrities in the court are inside.
Entering the mansion, there is first a garden, which is enough for more than a dozen acres. Several pavilions of varying heights are scattered around the pond, which is extremely staggered.
Among them, there is a pressurized water arch bridge leading directly to the center of the pond, bypassing from the exquisite and clear rockery, and then passing through a tortuous stone bridge to the hall of the guests, where the gentle and treacherous ministers are playing the harp.
When the three of them reached the bridge, they heard the sound of a tinkling dong.
Wisps of fragrance waft in the middle of this mountain pavilion water stone, which really makes people feel like walking into a fairyland.
Emperor Chongzhen stopped, and the three of them stood on the bridge holding the stone railing and listened to the sound of the piano.
The sound of the piano is sometimes tight and sometimes slow, provocative and delineated, and I can't tell what it feels like?
Anyway, Emperor Chongzhen felt that sometimes it made people feel fluttering and immortal, with the feeling of riding the clouds in the air, and sometimes he felt as if he was depressed in his heart and couldn't be excluded.
It's just that the aftertaste is endless after repeated sighs, but the turbidity in my heart is swept away.
This guy, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, is proficient in everything and talented!
Raising his legs, Emperor Chongzhen walked forward.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
When Wen Tiren saw Emperor Chongzhen enter the house, the whole person was immediately stunned.
As soon as he lost his mind, he immediately knelt down in ecstasy.
The arrival of the Son of Heaven in the palace is a special honor for the courtiers.
How many people, begging but can't get it!
At the same time, everyone else in the room knelt down and saluted.
It's just that they are a little apprehensive in their hearts.
The country is gone, but they are here to play the qin and drink and have fun, which seems a little unreasonable!
"No courtesy, let's all be even!"
Emperor Chongzhen's dragon eyes swept away, and there were eight or nine people in the house, all of whom seemed to be his intimate friends, and the second assistant Wang Yingxiong, the secretary of the ministry, Min Hongxue and others were impressively listed.
Only then did everyone tremble and rise to face the king.
"Wen Aiqing, your piano is really elegant!"
Lord Shoufu personally moved the Taishi chair, and after Emperor Chongzhen sat down, he praised Wen and treacherous.
"The emperor praises falsely, carving insects and small skills, not enough to worry about!"
Wen and treacherous smiled like a flower, and stood aside and replied.
The emperor is in a good mood, which is an important signal.
"I'm sorry, I'm bothering you Aiqing Yaxing today.
Wang Aiqing and Min Aiqing stayed for discussion, and the others dispersed! ”
Emperor Chongzhen waved his hand and said to the others.
The emperor did not blame, everyone was relieved, and they showed their best-looking smiling faces one after another, saying that they didn't dare, and then left Wen Mansion one after another.
It's just that as a gentle and treacherous henchman, their hearts are incomparably bright now.
Shousuke-sama's holy family is thick!
In other words, Wen Shoufu's thighs are very thick, so he should be hugged tighter.
"Your Majesty, why don't you go up to the attic to drink and watch the snow?"
As a landlord, the proposal with a gentle smile.
At this moment, his heart is also extremely happy.
Tomorrow, the entire capital will know that the emperor is coming to the Wen Mansion.
Everyone knows what this means. The emperor's every move concerns the hearts of many people.
Emperor Chongzhen agreed to the suggestion of the traitorous minister, and immediately, the Wen Mansion began to open up.
Snowflakes were dancing in the sky, and on a pavilion with open windows, the Wen Mansion prepared a warm stove, and Emperor Chongzhen and three courtiers drank hot wine and enjoyed the winter scene.
After a period of greetings, Emperor Chongzhen pinched his wine glass and asked the three of them: "The prince is sick without illness, who do you think is the minister of funeral and has full authority to handle the funeral of the prince?" ”
The three of them were silent, and the emperor was particular about this question.
It stands to reason that Zhou Kui, the national abbot, is the top royal relative, and the first assistant Wen Tiren takes the lead in organizing the funeral, which undoubtedly makes the Zhou Mansion the most prominent.
But the emperor actually asked like this, it was undoubtedly because he didn't want the Zhou Mansion to have this honor, so Wen Shoufu could rule it out.
If it's not Wen Shoufu, then anyone in the six cabinet ministries can do it.
In fact, the emperor is like them to set the tone, and the national abbot Zhou Kui is not worthy of a high-level funeral.
But now that he asked, he must have his intentions.
If you act according to Zhou Kui's life, it's really fucked up.
Let's not talk about the trivial things of bullying men and women, just by the fact that the emperor borrowed money from him, you can see the stupidity and greed of this person.
There is really nothing to say about such a person.
However, no matter how bad this person is, his identity is there.
The emperor's legitimate father-in-law, the biological father of Queen Zhou, as the emperor, also has some difficulties for him, and some things are inconvenient to say.
Perhaps, this is the reason why the emperor came to Wenfu today.
In a few breaths, these essences almost understood the meaning of Emperor Chongzhen.
"Your Majesty, is the title of the abbot a flat or a vicious?"
Thinking clearly, the second assistant king Yingxiong asked cautiously.
The central idea is understood, but the specific operation in it is still tentative.
And the nickname can best represent the emperor's evaluation of the emperor Zhou Kui, which can be regarded as the definitive conclusion of the coffin recognized by everyone.
It should be said that Wang Yingxiong's question was a bit arrogant, which was originally a matter of the Ministry of Rites.
After the death of Qi Gui and the minister, it is generally drafted by the Ministry of Rites and approved by the emperor.
It's just that now the Ministry of Rites is severely suppressed, and Zhou Tingru, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, is not in the capital, so Wang Yingxiong has no scruples about asking.
"Wait, there's no hurry." Emperor Chongzhen waved his hand, took a sip of wine, and said without hurry.
Wait?
Wang Yingxiong and they were stunned, what does the emperor mean by this?
The living can wait, but can the dead wait?
You know, Guozhang Zhou Kui is waiting for the burial of the name!
However, speaking of this, Emperor Chongzhen put down his wine glass and drove back to the palace, leaving them confused.
However, Lao Wang stayed.
"Alas, the emperor is helpless, I don't know how to evaluate Jiadingbo?"
After Emperor Chongzhen left, Lao Wang sat down and said helplessly.
"Dongchang recently found out that the two uncles of Jiading Bofu were also involved in salt administration and illegal salt trafficking, I really don't know what they think?
Jiading Bofu is already so rich, but he still wants to make crazy money, what is this for?
Simply ......"
With a leisurely sigh, Lao Wang shook his head and basically conveyed the inconvenient words of Emperor Chongzhen to say.
I see!
The three of them nodded, it turned out that the emperor was extremely dissatisfied with the Jiading Bofu.
But even if they are scumbags, in the Ming Dynasty, which pays attention to governing the country with filial piety, there are some things that Emperor Chongzhen can't say or do.
However, these ministers can.
Guozhang Zhou Kui has no merits in his life, and it is impossible to be beautiful, normally it is a plain word.
But look at the emperor's meaning, if Jiading Bofu doesn't pay some price, he is not even willing to give it.
Although they didn't know how Zhou Kui died, they could comprehend the emperor's intentions, and they, the ministers, could play their role.
These were originally their forte.
Besides, suppressing the royal family and nobles, no one in the Ming Dynasty will object.
Knowing what it means, it's their dragon legs that start to operate.
