Chapter Seventy-Five: The Man Behind the Pot (Three Watches)
Wang Chengen rewarded Qin Shuhuai with a hundred taels of silver tickets as usual, and then asked him to leave here quickly at night. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Qin Shuhuai came out of the imperial prison, walked around Chang'an Avenue in a leisurely manner, and then stayed in the inn, and was still in a good mood.
Wang Chengen can't wait to deal with Li Daliang, and the cooperation of the Demon Sect is just around the corner, as long as he does Chongzhen's ideological work, it will be difficult for him not to be in charge of the Jianghe Gang!
It's July, and we're three months away from October's upheaval. I have to take charge of the Jianghe Gang as soon as possible, and then I can show my strength in the changes of my own power, win enough political capital, and add a heavy bargaining chip to take charge of the East Factory!
After a good night's sleep at the inn, he arrived at Liu Shi Academy on time at three o'clock the next morning.
This time, he didn't even need to report it, and he was led directly to an exquisite study, where Chongzhen was waiting for him. Behind him, as usual, stood Wang Dehua.
Qin Shuhuai gave a great gift to the emperor and his ministers to the letter.
"Minister Qin Shuhuai, knock on the emperor! Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
Chongzhen was still as polite as ever, and personally came down to help Qin Shuhuai up, and said, "Shuhuai, you and I don't have to be so formal, sit down." ”
Then he said to Wang Dehua, "You go outside to guard, and no one is allowed to come in." ”
Wang Dehua answered, and then went out.
Chongzhen said, "Brother Qin has sat in the position of the incense master of the Jianghe Gang in just a few days, and he really deserves to be a master disciple of the Ghost Valley!"
Qin Shuhuai said, "The ministers are entrusted by the emperor, and they dare not slack off for a day." Now that Dongchang has participated in politics, and the Jianghe Gang is rapidly gaining momentum, the ministers are afraid that they will act too slowly and delay the emperor's plan. ”
Chongzhen said, "Brother Qin is loyal to me, I know. However, this matter will not happen overnight, and Brother Qin must not be too anxious. After a pause, he suddenly changed his words and said, "Brother Qin seems to know the king's palm seal of the imperial eunuch?"
This turn of events is a bit blunt, indicating that Chongzhen is very concerned about this matter and desperately wants to know the answer.
Qin Shuhuai knew that it must be the person who was following him who had already reported to Chongzhen.
That's exactly what I wanted.
Qin Shuhuai first smiled bitterly, and then said, "Since the emperor asked, the minister can't help but say it." When the original minister joined the Jianghe Gang, he was forced by the prince. That day, Richen accidentally fell for a poison called 'Half Moon Rotting Corpse Scattering', and he had to take the antidote every half a month to survive. In desperation, the minister could only go to the Jianghe Gang with the prince and the princess. ”
Chongzhen was taken aback and said, "Is this really the case?"
Qin Shuhuai smiled bitterly again and said, "This poison has not been solved yet, and it is still on Weichen." ”
Chongzhen immediately said, "You go and call Wang Dehua in." ”
Qin Shuhuai went out and saw Wang Dehua standing twenty steps away from the gate very well-behaved to show that he was not eavesdropping.
After calling Wang Dehua in, Chongzhen asked Wang Dehua to take Qin Shuhuai's pulse. Wang Dehua held Qin Shuhuai's pulse for a while, his face showed a slight look of surprise, and said to Chongzhen, "Back to the emperor, Brother Qin seems to have been poisoned by some kind of poison. ”
Chongzhen nodded expressionlessly, then waved at Wang Dehua and motioned for him to go out.
After Wang Dehua went out, Chongzhen slapped the table and said angrily, "This Wang Chengen, what does he want to do?"
Qin Shuhuai said, "In fact, what the prince thinks is nothing more than the same as the emperor. He sent Weichen into the Jianghe Gang, also to control the movements of the Jianghe Gang. The prince is afraid of the Jianghe Gang, but he is actually afraid of the East Factory. He is afraid that there will be another Wei Zhongxian in Dongchang, which will be unfavorable to the emperor!"
Chongzhen shook his head and said, "Brother Qin, he hurt you so much, and you still speak for him like this?"
Qin Shuhuai smiled faintly and said, "Your Majesty, loyalty is loyalty, treachery is treachery, and Weichen is just telling the truth." The prince was loyal to the emperor, but he was sometimes more anxious. It is precisely because of this that Weichen did not tell the emperor about this, lest the emperor dislike him. ”
Qin Shuhuai is very clear that Chongzhen still trusts Wang Chengen very much, and if he says bad things about Wang Chengen at this time, Chongzhen will definitely doubt his intentions. Moreover, he doesn't want Chongzhen and Wang Chengen to turn against each other now, otherwise Wang Chengen knows that he told Chongzhen the truth, and he may not know how to deal with himself.
In the final analysis, there is only one purpose for him to do this, that is, to let Chongzhen know that Wang Chengen is secretly dealing with Dongchang, and when necessary, he can let Wang Chengen carry all kinds of black pots for him.
For example, he will kill the four bigwigs of the Jianghe Gang next. As far as Chongzhen is concerned, even if he wants to help himself to the throne, he doesn't want to kill these four extremely capable Dongchang elites. According to Chongzhen's thinking, he will slowly let himself gain more prestige and higher status in the Jianghe Gang, and then find an excuse to transfer a few of them after a certain extent, and then let himself take the position, but this is undoubtedly too slow.
If he wants to kill the four bigwigs of the Jianghe Gang, if Chongzhen knows, not only will he be angry, but his ambition will also be exposed. But if you push this pot on Wang Chengen's back, then there is nothing to do with yourself.
Didn't he, Wang Chengen, want to deal with Dongchang? Then it was completely reasonable for him to send someone to kill the Jianghe gang boss!
Not only that, but all kinds of dirty methods used by himself when dealing with Dongchang in the future can be pushed to Wang Chengen, where can I find such a good "backstabber"?
Therefore, he now wants to help Wang Chengen say good things and say good things hard. The more Chongzhen knew that Wang Chengen was loyal, the more reluctant Chongzhen was to kill Wang Chengen, and Wang Chengen would be able to carry more black pots.
After listening to Qin Shuhuai's words, Chongzhen also shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "This Wang Chengen!
Chongzhen grew up with Wang Chengen since he was a child, and his trust in Wang Chengen is naturally overwhelming. But he also knew that Wang Chengen sometimes acted aggressively, so he never dared to let him hold power. The position of the governor of Dongchang should have been Wang Chengen, but it was because he was too radical and might cause a bloody storm in the court, so he let the more calm Cao Huachun take the post.
Looking at Qin Shuhuai, Chongzhen said again, "So, the two black-clothed people who came out to help you that day are also the people of Wang Zhangyin?"
Qin Shuhuai smiled bitterly, indicating acquiescence.
Chongzhen said, "Brother Qin, thank you for your hard work." I'll find someone to help you solve this poison. ”
Qin Shuhuai said with a smile, "This poison is no longer harmful, I believe that the next time I see the emperor, Weichen has already forced it out." ”
This is the truth, and it is also something that must be known to Chongzhen. Otherwise, if Chongzhen can't find someone to help him detoxify, he will doubt that his life is in the hands of Wang Chengen, and he can still work for Chongzhen wholeheartedly.
Chongzhen said with some surprise, "I heard that poisoned people need to have extremely strong internal force to force out, is Brother Qin's internal force already so strong?"
"My Guigu has quite a bit of martial arts inheritance, and it's not difficult to force out a small poison, but it just takes some time. ”
Chongzhen nodded, thoughtful, and said, "Brother Qin, I heard that you claimed to be from the Jade Sword Sect in the Jianghe Gang?"
Qin Shuhuai had already expected it, and said, "This Jade Sword Sect was also fabricated by the prince for me in order to hide my identity. For the sake of this identity, he even took great pains to deal with the Jade Sword Sect. ”
Wang Chengen, the almighty "back-erabbed man", began to come in handy......
Chongzhen smiled helplessly, "This old thing ......"
