Chapter 52: Wei Liangdong

As important as Huang Qiulin's Dasuo Nanjing, the news was that Xu Hongji, the Duke of Wei, wrote that he was sick and wanted to pass on the throne to the prince. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Chang Wei didn't expect Xu Hongji to be so bold, not only did it according to his own methods but also went further, Chang Wei's door-to-door 'visit' was rejected by Xu Hongji, not only his Nanjing officials, scholars, gentlemen, and celebrities were all rejected, and it was said that he was too sick to see guests.

Xu Shuyi told Chang Wei that this was a show of weakness to Wei Zhongxian, and presumably there would be a personnel change in the imperial court soon.

Half a month later, news came: Cui Chengxiu, the head of the Five Tigers of the Eunuch Party, impeached Yuan Keli, the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department, and asked him to demote his official.

It was about the officials in Nanjing, and the emperor sent a messenger to ask Xu Hongji, but as a result, Grandpa Xu was ill and couldn't speak, and he was delirious. So, he ordered Yuan Keli to fold and defend himself, Yuan Keli wrote in accordance with the practice of calling himself sick and resigning, and the emperor allowed him to play, and Wei Zhongxian recommended Liu Tingyuan as the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department, and approved it together.

The emperor also ordered Jinyiwei to command Wei Liangdong, the Marquis of Dong'an, to patrol Jiangnan, visit Grandpa Xu, and thoroughly investigate the murder of Dongchang Fanzi on the street.

Hearing the news, Chang Tong sighed: "Wei Liangdong is Wei Zhongxian's favorite nephew, he is only eighteen years old this year, he is a standard gentleman, plus Liu Tingyuan, now I am afraid that Nanzhi, Liangjiang, and Huguang will suffer." ”

Nanzhili, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Huguang (Hunan and Hubei) occupy more than seventy percent of the Ming Dynasty's money and grain taxes, and are the most prosperous and wealthy places in the Ming Dynasty.

Chang Wei didn't expect it to be such a result, but this has little to do with his killing of Dongchang Fanzi, Wei Zhongxian has long coveted the wealth in the south of the Yangtze River, and this time he grabbed the position of the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department, and was afraid that Liu Tingyuan would not be able to suppress these opposition officials in Nanjing, so he sent his nephew Wei Liangdong to try to use the murderous name of Jinyiwei to suppress the situation in order to gain a firm foothold.

After the spread of the past two months, everyone in the rivers and lakes knows that Jin Ge will suffer a big loss on Liuheng Island, and the opponent is the famous Qimen Lost Island, of course, the rivers and lakes also know that Liuheng Island is a place to make a fortune.

All the sects are trying to find a way to open up the financial route of Liuheng Island, but because of the lack of support from the Tang Sect, the Beggar Gang, and the Shen Family, the Jin Ge Society has lost a lot of manpower, so now there is a strict screening of the sects and merchants on the island.

Many sects and wealthy businessmen started Shen Kuang's idea, Chang Wei asked him to refuse them all, ignore anyone, because, the current Liuheng Island is a fragrant bait, it is the best time to win over allies, at the same time, Chang Wei is keenly aware that Wei Liangdong's arrival will have a huge impact on Liuheng Island and the rivers and lakes, at this time, keeping a low profile and not acting rashly is the first priority.

The reinforcements from the Shaolin Temple finally arrived, and the twelve lay disciples who were strong in martial arts and had never officially appeared on the rivers and lakes were transferred to Enlightenment.

The comprehension was directly handed over to Chang Wei, these twelve people were the same as the two generals of Humm, and then they had nothing to do with Shaolin on the bright side, and the martial arts they practiced were not the mainstream kung fu of Shaolin.

Shaolin Temple in addition to the famous seventy-two stunts there are many strange martial arts, every disciple who enters the rivers and lakes to practice, more or less can get several different schools of martial arts, back to Shaolin after they have to enter the Dharma Hall to hand over their martial arts to the temple, therefore, there are thousands of kinds of martial arts in the Shaolin Temple Tibetan Scripture Pavilion.

Therefore, no one knew that they were related to Shaolin Temple, and after Chang Wei's inspection, he found that everyone had the strength of the second layer of internal strength.

Chang Wei admired, "Sure enough, it is worthy of the Shaolin Temple, and twelve young disciples are sent casually, all of whom have the strength on the list of heroes in the rivers and lakes!"

Comprehension said lightly: "Wei Shao has won the award, this is not sent out casually, they have lived on Shaomu Mountain since they were children, everyone has practiced martial arts for at least fifteen years, if they don't have this strength, then they can't say it." ”

Chang Wei arranged for these twelve people to join the Shen family in the name of recruits, and Shen Kuang, who had greatly increased his strength, finally made contact with the people of Maoyuan Cargo Company.

"Fearless, what do you guess the people from Maoyuan said?" Shen Kuang sneered: "Chen Er claims to help me seize the position of head of the family, I need to rely on him?"

Chang Wei asked, "Then what does he want from you?"

Shen Kuang said: "Boat, a big ship that can go to sea." ”

"Sea boats? Thirteen Links in Hongze Lake, what do they want sea boats for?" Chang Wei was puzzled.

Shen Kuang didn't know the reason, "Fearless, can I believe what you say?"

Chang Wei nodded and said, "It should be true, they are looking for Shen Shuo first, and then you are looking for you, but why don't they look for your boss? ”

"I think so, no matter what tricks they have, I'm not afraid of it this time, I look young and good, and the martial arts are really good, and those twelve people, all of them are very powerful......"

Shen Kuang returned to Liuheng Island before Wei Liangdong came to Nanjing, Wei Liangdong went all the way south and must have plundered every place he passed, from Beizhili to Shandong, to Nanzhili all the way to the south, all the way to the disaster, and the Caoyun Governor Teng Leshan protected, he did whatever he wanted, but the officials of the prefectures and counties along the way were upside down, which made Wei Liangdong even more proud.

It wasn't until he entered Nanjing City that he relented in one or two, and finally he didn't forget his mission and went to the Wei Mansion to visit the sick as soon as possible.

Although Grandpa Xu is still bedridden, his spirit is much better.

That night, Xu Wenjue, the prince of Wei, held a banquet to entertain Wei Liangdong, and officials from various ministries of Nanjing, gentry and celebrities were all present. Chang Tong, Chang Wei and his brothers are also invited.

The Xu family, who is the host, and Wei Liangdong, the main son tonight, have not yet arrived, and the guests are sitting in the hall and chatting casually.

Fu Zhouzi said to Chang Wei with an unkind face: "I can't imagine that one day I will have to make a false deal with the children of the Wei family, hey, I'm really angry!"

"Xijue, I have a word, you must listen. Although Chang Wei's voice was very low, his expression was unusually solemn.

Fu Zhouzi was slightly stunned and said, "Please speak!"

Chang Wei whispered: "In today's world, the lord is a weak eunuch, and the cabinet minister still wants to lie under Wei Eunuch, even Grandpa Xu has to avoid his edge, and the officials want to make a difference, and they are all cautious, and even committed to the thief." It is especially difficult for a general to make a contribution, Xijue, you are a general who is not able to drill the camp, and there will be disaster for a long time. If the so-called big husband can bend and stretch, if he can't even save his life, how can he make meritorious contributions? How about reining in his temper and becoming a famous general who has joined the WTO?

"...... WTO accession" Fu Zhouzi lowered his head and pondered, and said after a while: "Okay, I'll just endure this breath, as long as he doesn't deceive me and flatter him, what?"

"He dare!" Chang Wei's expression was cold, "Flatterers don't spend any money, it's just a face-saving job, if he dares to blatantly bully him, those fans are role models!"

Fu Zhouzi was stunned and was about to speak, when the pleasant sound of silk and bamboo sounded, and the figure in the back hall was longing.

"Anton is waiting for Lord Wei to arrive!" "The prince of Wei has arrived!" "Princess Ning has arrived!"

A long chanting sounded, and a young man wearing a python robe with a pale face walked into the main hall accompanied by Xu Wenjue, Xu Shuyi and others, and everyone in the hall stood up to greet them.

"This is Wu Shangshu, Liu Shilang, Wang Shilang!"

"This is Hu Shangshu of the Criminal Department, Qi Shilang, Zhang Shilang!"

Xu Wenjue did not sit down, but led Wei Liangdong and introduced the officials and guests present one by one.

Wei Liangdong either nodded or greeted, although his expression was arrogant, it was also considered polite, thinking that it was to give face to the Xu family.

"This is Lord Fu Zhouzi, the judge of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies!"

When Xu Wenjue introduced Fu Zhouzi, Wei Liangdong showed undisguised mockery on his face, and said, "How is Master Fu doing in Nanjing?"

Fu Zhouzi bowed his head and saluted: "Master Lao asked, the mountains and rivers in the south of the Yangtze River are handsome, and he will cultivate himself in Nanjing for half a year, only to know that he was really reckless in the past. ”

Wei Liangdong looked at him in surprise for a while, and then said with a smile: "Okay!"

Xu Wenjue took Wei Liangdong and took a step forward, and said, "This is the one who went to the Autumn of the Year and the Emperor of Tianfu to solve the Yuan Changwei Chang Fearless. ”

Wei Liangdong's eyes immediately shot out of a cold light, and he stared at Chang Wei for a long time before he said, "I heard that Chang Xie Yuan is excellent in martial arts, I don't know if you killed those Dongchang fans?"
