Chongzhen's open life

Chapter 25 Late Night Talk
At this point, Zhu Youjian began his 27-day filial piety career.

And the court also fell into a rare calm here, but it was only the calm on the surface, and the turbulent undercurrent in the dark still made people shudder.

Somewhere in a mansion, a group of people gathered together. They shared common beliefs and common political goals. These brought them together, causing uproars in the court and even among the people.

They have a common name, Dong Lin Gentleman, that is, the well-known civil servant cronies of Tianqi and even the Chongzhen Dynasty!

Donglin Party!
in the secret room.

"Everyone, now that the new emperor is enthroned, it is a good time for me to wait for the gentlemen of Donglin. When your majesty finishes observing his filial piety, we will work together to let the new emperor get rid of the eunuchs, and let me wait for the gentlemen of Donglin to return to the court and reappear the righteousness of the people." The prosperity of the Ying Dynasty!"

The person who spoke was obviously very excited, and his words were high-spirited, full of confidence and indomitable momentum.

"Not bad! This is a great opportunity for us to rise again, and we should seize the opportunity!"

"I agree too!"

"I agree too!"

The other people in the secret room echoed each other, except for an old man who had been sitting directly in front of everyone, remained silent.

After discussing, everyone turned to look at the old man and asked, "Mr. Han, what's your opinion?"

The old man pondered for a long time before slowly saying: "The old man has no objection, but now that the old man is no longer in the court, this matter can only be made up for you. Once it attracts Wei Xie's attention, I'm afraid you..."

The old man who was called Han Lao didn't finish his sentence, but everyone else understood what he meant. I'm afraid that whoever gets ahead will definitely invite Wei Zhongxian's revenge. If he fails, there may be no good end.

The person who spoke first stood up suddenly, and said in an impassioned voice: "Mr. Han, don't worry about me waiting, as long as you can defeat the eunuchs, I will not regret waiting to die! When the time comes, I will be the vanguard in the court. If you want revenge, let him come to me!"

The others looked at him with admiration when they heard the words, their eyes were filled with admiration, and they felt respect for his act of sacrificing himself for the sake of the party!

Han Lao stroked his beard and smiled when he heard the words: "Don't worry, as long as Wei Xie falls, I, Han Kuang, can promise to save the lives of your family, so that they can live comfortably for the rest of their lives. Other members will also help your family not to let them be bullied.

When your son grows up, he will have a place in the court. "

From what the old man meant, it turned out that he was Han Kuang, a well-known bigwig in the Donglin Party!
And the person who got up was relieved as if he had relieved the burden after getting the promise from Han Kuang. With what Mr. Han said, he has no worries and can go for it!

"Huh! Wei Wei! Just wait! Your good days are not long!"

……

Qianqing Palace.

In the middle of the night, the faint candlelight swayed with the wind, making the whole hall flickering.

Zhu Youjian stood silently in front of Emperor Tianqi's coffin, and Wei Zhongxian also stood with his hands tied not far behind, with his head bowed, also silent.

There were no other maids and eunuchs around, just now, Zhu Youjian sent them out.

Quietly looking at the stiff body of the emperor's brother in the coffin for a long time, Zhu Youjian suddenly said: "Wei Banban, the emperor said that I can rely on you, and that you will do things for me wholeheartedly. You say it is true?" Is it?"

Wei Zhongxian's heart skipped a beat, although he knew that His Majesty might have something inconvenient for outsiders to tell him when His Majesty sent everyone else out just now, but he didn't expect it to be such a terrible thing.

But even though he was flustered, Wei Zhongxian kept calm on his face, lowered his head and replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, the power of this servant comes from His Majesty. Your Majesty doesn't have to worry about any other thoughts that this servant will have."

The corners of Zhu Youjian's mouth twitched slightly: "Oh~ but...Your Eunuch Wei has cronies all over the government and the public, but I can't let me let go of my worries."

Wei Zhongxian's head was lowered even lower, and his figure was a little stooped.

"Your Majesty, slaves have no cliques, nor do they form any cliques."

"Hehe, you didn't form a party? How did you get the title of nine thousand years old? Don't tell me who worships you, so they took the initiative to give you a nickname.

Also, you have no cronies, so why are the four members of the cabinet all members of your Eunuch Wei except Li Guo!

How dare you say that Huang Liji, Shi Fenglai and other cabinet members, the Minister of War Cui Chengxiu and other six officials are not under your Wei Jiuqiansui!

The number of your eunuchs spreads across the government and the public, and even this palace is mostly your Wei Zhongxian's people, how dare you say that you have no cronies? "

Boom!
Wei Zhongxian knelt down heavily, lowered his head and said in a sad voice: "Your Majesty! The servants really did not form a party. If you insist that this so-called eunuch party is controlled by the slaves, it is better to say that it is a royalist party. We wait for the union Being together was also acquiesced by the first emperor, Your Majesty clearly learned that we are gathered together for the sake of imperial power!
They were united in order to fight against the Donglin Party. Rather than saying that they voted for the servants, it is better to say that they took refuge in the late emperor. The servants did things for the late emperor! "

Wei Zhongxian cried sadly, but Zhu Youjian sneered again and again.

"Hehe, so you, Wei Zhongxian, joined the party for the sake of my royal family. Not only should I not blame you, but I should also reward you, Eunuch Wei, for your hard work?"

"The slaves dare not!"

Wei Zhongxian lowered his head and raised his voice.

Zhu Youjian walked up to Wei Zhongxian with a sneer, looked at Wei Zhongxian with his head down, and said coldly, "Look up."

Wei Zhongxian raised his head slowly, and when Qi Muguang and Zhu Youjian looked at each other, a sharp pain suddenly came from his abdomen!

Peng!
Wei Zhongxian flew upside down and smashed heavily on the pillars in the hall!
vomit!
A mouthful of blood spat out from Wei Zhongxian's mouth, staining the ground red.

In the same place, Zhu Youjian slowly withdrew his feet, looked coldly at Wei Zhongxian who looked up at him, and said, "Don't think that I don't know what you have done. When I enter the palace, what do you want to do with Cui Chengxiu?" You won't forget, will you?"

Wei Zhongxian's pupils suddenly constricted!

"Is that so?! How could His Majesty know about this? Impossible! There was no one else at the time! Could it be that Cui Chengxiu told the secret?!

wrong!He doesn't have the guts, we're in the same boat. "

Wei Zhongxian's mind was spinning extremely fast, thinking about how the news let His Majesty know.

But Zhu Youjian looked at him with a sneer and said, "Don't think about it anymore, Cui Chengxiu didn't betray you, I found out by myself, and I know more than you.

Don't you wonder where Ke Shi went? "

"Keshi!"

Wei Zhongxian was startled when he heard the words, and then suddenly realized.

"That's right! Ever since he met Ke Shi in that side hall that day, he has never seen Ke Shi again until today. This person seems to have disappeared into this world suddenly. Could it be..."

Thinking of this, Wei Zhongxian immediately looked at Zhu Youjian in disbelief.

Looking at his gaze, Zhu Youjian nodded slowly: "That's right, I took Mrs. Ke away, and I know your plan clearly! You are really brave enough! You really let me Very "shocked"!"

Zhu Youjian deliberately emphasized the word shock.

Wei Zhongxian quickly nodded his head and kept saying: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! How can I have the guts to serve you! This is all from the Ke family! It was all thought up by a woman from the Ke family. There is nothing I can do about it! The servant knows it is wrong! I beg your majesty to spare this slave, I beg your majesty to spare this slave once!..."

Zhu Youjian watched Wei Zhongxian coldly begging for mercy without any expression on his face, which was indifferent and frightening.

After a long time, after Wei Zhongxian's head was covered with blood, Zhu Youjian said coldly: "Okay. If you had continued, I wouldn't have the intention to waste time with you here. I would kill you on the day you ascended the throne." gone."

When Wei Zhongxian knew that his life was saved, he was overjoyed and continued to kowtow vigorously: "Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, Your Majesty! I thank you, Your Majesty, for your life..."

Seeing Wei Zhongxian kowtowing and kowtowing, Zhu Youjian's eyes flashed with impatience, and he said coldly, "Get up!"

Hearing this, Wei Zhongxian immediately stopped kowtowing and stood up, looking at Zhu Youjian with a flattering expression.

Looking at him, Zhu Youjian continued to say coldly: "I know what kind of person you are, and you don't have to pretend in front of me.

You can keep this life only because you are domineering and arrogant, but you can do things well, and you still have value. Do you understand what I mean? "

How could Wei Zhongxian not understand that if he was useful, it meant that before he lost his usefulness, his little life would not be in danger.

Immediately, Wei Zhongxian bent down and was about to kneel down again, but Zhu Youjian stood up straight for me with a cold voice. He was so frightened that he didn't dare to move, but he quickly said:

"Your Majesty, don't worry! Your servant understands! From now on, whatever Your Majesty asks your servant to do, your servant will do!
Let the slaves go east and the slaves will not dare to go west, and let the slaves go to the oil pan and the slaves will not dare to jump into the river!

A servant girl is a brick in His Majesty's hands, she can go wherever she needs it! "

"Ah."

Zhu Youjian nodded in satisfaction, then looked at him and stretched out three fingers and said: "Okay, I won't talk nonsense with you anymore.

Starting today, first, I don’t want to hear about your nine-thousand-year-old name, Wei Zhongxian. I’m only long live, and you’re nine-thousand-year-old, so you’re not afraid of being struck by lightning!At the same time, I don't want to know from anyone that there is your Wei Zhongxian's shrine in Ming Dynasty! "

Wei Zhongxian quickly raised his hand and swore: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the slaves will immediately ask them to tear down the shrine, and there will be absolutely no one left!"

Zhu Youjian nodded, put away one finger and continued: "Second! Your eunuch is too powerful. Although it is easy to use, there are good and bad among them. I order you to clean up the real scourge of waste immediately, and leave it behind. Which can do things.

As for those who can do things, let them buy their lives and officials with money, can it be done? "

Wei Zhongxian hurriedly nodded again: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, we can do it!"

Wei Zhongxian had expected this point, even if His Majesty wanted to use himself and his eunuch party, it would be impossible to keep his eunuch party at its current scale.

Your Majesty must reduce the eunuchs to a level acceptable to His Majesty. Now it is only necessary to clear out the evils and wastes, and keep others who can do things. This has exceeded my expectations by a lot, and it can be done naturally.

Seeing that Wei Zhongxian was so honest, Zhu Youjian was also quite satisfied, and then retracted a finger before slowly saying the third thing.

"Third! I..."
