Daming iron-blooded Chief Assistant

Chapter 141 So You Are Wei Zhongxian
Early April.

King Bushituhan of Shunyi sent an envoy to enter the side wall from Datong Town to question why the Ming court sent troops to occupy Hetao. At this time, Shenzong's condition worsened and he was unable to govern.

Fang Congzhe, the chief assistant of the cabinet, was worrying about the affairs of Liaodong. After learning that there were no soldiers and horses in Yansui Town, he thought that these Tumed people were deliberately looking for trouble and wanted more rewards, so he ignored them.

On the other side of the inner court, Eunuch Li is helping to take care of him.The people of King Shunyi were shut down.

King Shunyi, who could not get a reply from the Ming court, believed that the Ming court wanted to seize Hetao by taking advantage of the civil strife in Tumot, so he accelerated the pace of solving Su Nang's grandson and grandson.I want to complete the integration of Tumed Department before autumn comes.

After Zhang Zongxian learned about this incident, he also understood that it would be difficult to hide the matter of Hetao from the world. He originally thought that he would slowly eat away at Hetao, and it would take two years anyway.But who would have thought that the Tartars in Hetao were so invincible.

It seems that he must be promoted to the position of governor of Yanshou as soon as possible, and then pretend to send troops to recover Hetao, otherwise he can only hide it for as long as he can, and raise his troops to rebel if he can't hide it.But he has only been promoted to the third level in a row for a year, and it is not so difficult to be promoted to governor.

Even if you want the emperor's special Jane, you need enough reasons and achievements!As a last resort, Zhang Zongxian wrote to Master Ma asking what can be done?
After Master Ma received the letter, there is no good way?The main reason is that Zhang Zongxian was born as a prison student who paid tribute, and it took so much effort to become a magistrate. If he became a governor, how many people would come out to protest!

The premise is that the emperor is willing to brief Zhang Zongxian, which is not in compliance with the rules and has great resistance. Mr. Ma can only write back to Zhang Zongxian suggesting that after he builds the Yellow River Bridge, it is more appropriate to repay the credit and run a magistrate.Just this has to be managed up and down, and the road of partial push is taken.

After receiving Master Ma's letter, Zhang Zongxian also felt that the matter was difficult to handle, but he didn't want to rebel. Not to mention that he had developed so many workshops and mines, he said that the help provided by the Taiping Bank should not be stolen. It's a money printing machine.

Now relying on the small bills of 20 taels issued every month, it supports the Legislative Army to attack Hetao.As far as this is concerned, the amount of 20 taels is still issued, and the issuance is released. The market can fully digest the small bills of 50 taels a month.

But if there is a rebellion, the rebellion of small bills alone can defeat his power that has not been easily cultivated.Moreover, the current core army is less than 3 people, which is not enough to take Shaanxi.

It will also destroy the production of the people. In that case, the food will not be enough, so they can only follow the old road of Chuangwang and become rogues. After eating one place, they will eat another place.

After thinking about it, Zhang Zongxian decided to go to the capital to burn Zhu Youxiao's incense.Soon he will be enthroned.

If you can fool Zhu Youxiao, it will not be a piece of cake to be a governor. By the way, ask where Wei Zhongxian is?
After making a decision, Zhang Zongxian first wrote a letter to Master Ma explaining that he would secretly go to the capital.Let Master Ma be prepared.

Then he began to arrange things after leaving. In order to prevent moving out, Zhang Zongxian asked Ding Bo to take Su'e and Xiaoxue to stay in Shuofang City for a while.

Then he summoned the eldest disciple back and asked him to sit in Qingjian County. If necessary, he would take all those related to Zhang Zongxian outside the side wall.The second disciple, Boren, was waiting for the news. If there was any accident, Boren would need to take the cavalry to the side wall outside Xuanfu to meet him.

The disciples who stayed in the academy were also required not to leave the academy, and were ready to go to Plastic Square City at any time.Of course, these preparations are to prevent Zhang Zongxian from having an accident.

He also arranged for Yunong to select a team of one hundred people from the investigation bureau to escort him to the capital. The most loyal men were selected, and each of them brought six short guns and one hundred rockets. thing?It is up to these people to bring Zhang Zongxian out of the capital.

On April [-]th, the great disciple Liangchen rushed back from Lianhuabao to the Jiazhou government office. When he saw Zhang Zongxian, he knelt down and tried to persuade him not to go to the capital. At this time, Liangchen also understood his master's determination to limit the imperial power.Worried that Hetao's affairs would be exposed, the imperial court would detain his master.

Zhang Zongxian first helped the eldest disciple, and then comforted him:
Going to the capital, I have my own plan for the teacher, except for a limited number of people, no one knows that I went to the capital for the teacher, good ministers can rest assured.

If the teacher is not here, you will be the pillar of my Legislative School, and you must take good care of the brothers and sisters. In addition, what if something happens to the teacher?You go to your teacher's wife, where is there anything left for you by the teacher.

He said it was fine, but Zhang Zongxian still explained the funeral.Liang Chen has always regarded Zhang Zongxian as his father.In this situation, Jing Liangchen couldn't help but shed tears.

Zhang Zongxian patted Liangchen on the shoulder and continued:
"Going here as a teacher is to persuade the new king who is about to take the throne to support my Legislative Faction. I will explain this to you to prevent migration. You must always remember the great wish of my Legislative Faction. You must understand who my Legislative Faction is. and fight."

After preparing everything, Zhang Zongxian set off for the capital on April [-]th.Disguised as a caravan, they first crossed the Yellow River and headed straight to the capital without stopping.

After traveling day and night for [-] days, I finally arrived in the capital.In order to prevent interested people from snooping?They didn't let Mr. Ma come out to greet them, and placed most of the troops in the Zhuangzi of the Taiping outside the capital, and only brought a small team into the city from Xizhimen.

At this time, the capital was completely a military fortress. The city wall was 15 meters high, 20 meters thick at the bottom, 16 meters thick at the top, and there was a female wall on it.There are nine city gates, four turrets, three water gates, 170 enemy towers, and 11038 battlements.There is a moat 60 meters wide outside the city.

It is a pity that such a powerful fortress did not play its due role in the last moments of the Ming Dynasty.

After arriving at a secret base of the investigation department in the capital, Master Ma didn't come over to see Zhang Zongxian until evening.After the two met, Master Ma urged Zhang Zongxian not to take risks easily.After all, he is a foreign minister, seeing the prince at this time makes people feel that the consequences are unpredictable.

But Zhang Zongxian has made up his mind, and if he sends money to Wei Zhongxian, it is better to make good use of this opportunity to impress Zhu Youxiao.After all, Emperor Tianqi was very resourceful.

Master Ma saw that Zhang Zongxian would not be moved, so he could only obey orders.Then, according to Zhang Zongxian's instructions, he first brought Li Gongdong out to meet him.

Two days later, Zhang Zongxian met his cheap uncle in a restaurant in the capital.

For more than a year, Zhang Zongxian has been filial to this cheap uncle, except for the wine that must be given every month, such as soap and makeup mirrors, which are exclusively supplied to Eunuch Li, which are not available in the market.

Eunuch Li's status in the palace is also flourishing, and Eunuch Li naturally thinks that this cheap nephew is good.And Eunuch Li also has a lot of things he wants to ask him, especially the name that he wrote back to him last time.

In order for Eunuch Li to help him wholeheartedly, he pretended to miss Zhang Zongxian when he met Zhang Zongxian.Play the emotional card fiercely.

"My nephew visited my uncle. I haven't seen my uncle for more than a year. My nephew misses my uncle very much."

Eunuch Li was very surprised by Zhang Zongxian's enthusiasm. This kid is so smart, what happened today?
"Nephew please hurry up, it's true that I haven't seen you for more than a year, uncle, I also want to hurt my nephew!"

After the two exchanged a few pleasantries, Eunuch Li asked Zhang Zongxian's purpose for coming to the capital. After all, he was also a fifth-rank magistrate, and he came to the capital without his will. If someone found out, it would not be as simple as dismissing him from office.

Seeing Eunuch Li's inquiry, Zhang Zongxian pretended to be deep and said:
"I'm ashamed of the teacher! The teacher sent my nephew to the northwest to deal with the catastrophe and prevent the people from rebelling. However, seeing the catastrophe fell to my nephew, nothing happened,"

As soon as he said this, Eunuch Li was frightened.I never heard that the people in the northwest rebelled!Eunuch Li still remembers Zhang Zongxian's response to the robbery, and because of the record of all sentient beings, he dare not underestimate Zhang Zongxian's words.

"Where does my nephew start? Apart from the peace in Liaodong, how can the common people rebel?"

"Hey! My nephew's master left after stealing the heavenly secret. I didn't explain many things clearly. After I stayed in the northwest for two years, I realized that not only the people are going to rebel, but the frontier soldiers are also going to rebel!"

The frontier army rebelled, and the three sides that can fight the most on the nine sides are all in the northwest. The army rebellion here is terrible.

"It's serious that the frontier army rebelled, did the nephew come to the capital to ask for help?"

Seeing that Eunuch Li had already taken the bait, Zhang Zongxian began to put on a show.

"My nephew didn't come here to ask for help. This year the frontier army won't be able to rebel, but next year it won't be so. Do you still remember the question and answer I asked you and me?"

Of course, Eunuch Li remembered, seeing that the current Shengshang's health is getting worse and worse, he may barely survive this year, but although the crown prince is almost forty, he is in good health!

I also remembered the name of the person who shocked Eunuch Li when Zhang Zongxian wrote a letter to Zhang Zongxian last year.

"Of course I remember, in the letter my nephew sent you last year, you gave me a name back to let me pay attention to this person. What exactly is the meaning?"

Zhang Zongxian thought that Eunuch Li had already found Wei Zhongxian, so he quickly explained:
Uncle has found that person. Now that uncle is gone, nephew is dissatisfied with uncle. In fact, nephew is afraid of being punished by heaven if he reveals the heaven, so he hides it from uncle. Then Wei Zhongxian will be deeply trusted by the new emperor in the future, and his power will be poured into the court.

The young nephew wanted his uncle to get in touch with him more and prepare for the new emperor's enthronement. It is said that Wei Zhongxian has been serving the son, and the son trusts him very much.

Eunuch Li looked at Zhang Zongxian and said lightly:

It's also my fault that I didn't tell my nephew that my surname was Wei before entering the palace, but it was changed to Li after entering the palace. It is your uncle and I who have been serving the son all the time.

At this moment, Zhang Zongxian really wanted to slap himself. He should study history well when he was in school. He didn’t even know about Wei Zhongxian’s name change. This is a joke!I also recognized Wei Zhongxian as my uncle, so I don't know how to arrange him in future history books.

But at this time, I can't take care of these things, so I quickly smoothed things over and said:

"It turns out that my uncle's surname is Wei, everything is God's will! Thank you Emperor Zhenwu for protecting me."

After speaking, he knelt down and kowtowed to the north.Wei Zhongxian also hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, apparently believing Zhang Zongxian's words.After kowtowing, Zhang Zongxian supported Wei Zhongxian and continued:
"It turns out that there are arrangements in the dark, and everything is God's will! Uncle is God bless Daming! Since uncle is Wei Zhongxian, then Daming will be saved."

Wei Zhongxian was taken aback by the tiger. Originally, after seeing the reply that day, he thought that his surname was Wei, and he checked all the people in the inner court, and there was no one named Wei Zhongxian. At that time, he realized that Wei Zhongxian was talking about him. Own.

"My nephew will tell me soon, how can Daming be saved?"

Zhang Zongxian immediately pretended to be mysterious and said:

"Uncle, don't leak the heavenly secrets! If you leak too much, you will be punished by the gods. Uncle only needs to know one thing, and the son will be enthroned as emperor in September this year."

After learning from Zhang Zongxian that Zhu Youxiao will become emperor this year, Wei Zhongxian was very excited. Zhang Zongxian said at home that he would have power in the future.In my heart, I have completely believed Zhang Zongxian's words.

"But the prince?"

Zhang Zongxian quickly stopped it, Wei Zhongxian said:

As long as the uncle knows, don’t do anything, don’t say anything, just wait and see what happens, otherwise the secret will be revealed, and the nephew will leak too many secrets. The master said that the nephew can live to be 80 years old, but now he can live to forty. Not bad.

And if there are too many people who know, there will be variables.Just like the changes in the Liaodong battlefield, it is a clear lesson!Everything is God's will, I have to deal with it carefully.

"Yes, yes, yes, my nephew is right! What will my nephew do for my uncle?"

"Since the son trusts the uncle, then things will be easy. Please also ask the uncle to bring my nephew to meet the son. The future of Daming depends on the uncle."

It's not easy to see the prince, and I wanted to ask Zhang Zongxian why he wanted to see the prince, but this kid must prevaricate him with the excuse that the secret should not be revealed.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Zhang Zongxian continued:

"Uncle! My nephew has already leaked the secret, and the deadline is less than ten years away. Some things must be explained to the eldest son before Da Ming can be saved! There must be no delay."

Wei Zhongxian thought for a long time, and decided to help Zhang Zongxian meet his son, Zhang Zongxian has already worshiped him as his uncle, and the two of them have been included in the Nine Clans according to the laws of Ming Dynasty, so they should not harm themselves.

When the time comes, arrange for them to meet at a place where I can eavesdrop and listen to what they have to say?He was also curious about what Zhang Zongxian was going to say?It's just how to persuade the prince to meet him.

"That's all, since the nephew is for Daming, how can the uncle not help you, but what about being an uncle on the side of the son!"

"This matter is simple. Uncle just needs to tell the son that the records of sentient beings are written by my nephew, and nothing else should be revealed. Presumably the son will be willing to see my nephew."

"Okay, my nephew will go back and wait for Uncle Wei's news. I will inform you after Uncle Wei has made arrangements."

After finally convincing Wei Zhongxian, Zhang Zongxian took out a wooden globe specially made for Zhu Youxiao. The land and islands on it can be dismantled and asked Wei Zhongxian to dedicate it to Zhu Youxiao, so as to arouse Zhu Youxiao's interest first. Come.

After the two made an agreement, Wei Zhongxian returned to the palace, thinking along the way how to make the crown prince believe his words.

In order to prevent moving out, after leaving the restaurant, Zhang Zongxian did not return to his stronghold in the city.Instead, he left the city directly and waited for news outside the city.

Waiyi, the prince couldn't think about it and sent someone to arrest him directly, he could also escape calmly, no, I hope Wei Zhongxian can convince the prince.
