Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 501 Yu Zigao

Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes. One profit can change the taste of many things. If you are not greedy and I am not greedy, what will you do if you ask the boss? If you don’t take it and I don’t take it, how can you tell the superiors to spend it? If you don't take it, I won't take it. How can you use it if you ask the superiors?

The current Fujian Navy perfectly explains this point.

"Vice General Rong, what do you think Wei Zhongxian wants to do when he comes to Fujian?"

A general rode on a horse and followed Yu Zigao, with doubts in his brows, "Every general has heard about it. He came across the sea by boat from Shandong. Since he entered Fujian, there have been many officials. My children all went to visit.”

"You ask me, who am I asking?"

Yu Zigao, who was riding forward, glared and shouted: "How come I didn't notice before that you talk like a woman?"

"Isn't this how the general cares about you?"

Faced with Yu Zigao's scolding, the general was not timid, but smiled and said: "You also know that the situation in Fujian is complicated, especially last year, the emperor issued a special decree in Beijing to open the sea to Tianjin for trade, allowing Xiyi to stop and do business northward. , the Fujian Navy has become different."

When he said this, the general's expression became serious.

"The imperial court is not in a hurry, you are in a hurry."

Wei Zhongxian raised his eyebrows slightly.

He didn't know why Wei Zhongxian sent people to find him and specifically called him to Fuzhou Mansion for what purpose, but his intuition told Yu Zigao that the matter was definitely not simple.

Although Emperor Yuji has not sent any more eunuchs to the local areas since he ascended the throne, the things that happened in the Wanli Dynasty are still fresh in his memory.

Just as Yu Zigao said this, he was murmuring in his heart.

"Okay, this isn't your thing to worry about!"

"Duke, that person is Yu Zigao."

Yu Zigao waved his hands impatiently, "I am the deputy commander-in-chief of Fujian and Zhejiang. I have the authority to take charge of the coastal defense of Fujian and Zhejiang. Even if Wei Zhongxian wants to kill me, he must weigh it in his heart."

And at the front of the team, the bright red python robe looked so dazzling.

Not to mention how many things have happened in the central court and in the northern provinces since Emperor Yuji ascended the throne. Even though Fujian is far away from the capital, if some things spread to Fujian, it will shock many people.

"Vice General Rong, I am worried about you."

In front of the official post, Li Yongzhen, who was standing with his hands down, saw Yu Zigao and his entourage and whispered to Wei Zhongxian.

"Yu Wuxiang's only son?"

Especially Eunuch Bingbi, the Superintendent of Ceremonies, and the Supervisor of the Dongjishi Factory. For such a person with an extraordinary status, he could not stay well in the capital, but instead came to Fujian. Who wouldn't be murmuring in his heart?

Qi Jinzhong looked around, and then whispered: "You were working against some people in the Fujian Navy and ruined their good things. If they do something bad and want to use Wei Zhongxian's power to do something to you, This matter is difficult to handle. After all, Wei Zhongxian is from the palace..."

"Vice General Rong!"

What's more, Wei Zhongxian's identity is not simple.

While Yu Zigao was thinking, Qi Jinzhong's voice sounded, which made Yu Zigao feel irritated. He was about to open his mouth to scold him, but he accidentally discovered that there were many people standing in front of the official post where he was going.

Yu Zigao snorted coldly, "Qi Laosan, is this something you should worry about?"

"Exactly."

Li Yongzhen nodded and said: "This man is the deputy chief military officer of Fujian and Zhejiang. He has a straightforward temper. We heard that he has offended many people, but he is very capable."

As long as you have the ability. Wei Zhongxian narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Yu Zigao who turned over and ran quickly towards where they were, with a faint smile on his lips.

In the list of his own princes, this person ranked very high, and he was a general who would control the sea power in the future. However, after coming to Fujian, Wei Zhongxian found that some people mentioned Yu Zigao intentionally or unintentionally. It also made Wei Zhongxian not rush to find him, but ordered people to investigate in secret.

It was also after learning about the situation in Fujian, especially the actual situation of the Fujian Navy, that Wei Zhongxian felt that he had really found a treasure! !

"The last general, Yu Zigao, has met Duke Wei!!"

Facing countless gazes, Yu Zigao ran towards Wei Zhongxian without blushing or out of breath. When he came to Wei Zhongxian, he cupped his fists and saluted.

I'm afraid this person's frankness is not just an act, right?

Looking at Yu Zigao in front of him, Wei Zhongxian narrowed his eyes slightly. Don't look at the news he had found out, saying that Yu Zigao had a hot temper and was arrogant, but his eyes could not deceive! !

Since Wei Zhongxian rose from the inner court, he has done a lot of things according to orders, and he has met more people. Wei Zhongxian can tell who they are like at a glance.

"Our family has heard of your name Yu Zigao since we came to Fujian on an imperial mission."

Thinking of this, Wei Zhongxian showed a faint smile on his face, looked at Yu Zigao and said: "As expected of Yu Wuxiang's son, he is very energetic. Our family has been waiting here for a long time."

Are you really waiting for someone?

When Yu Zigao heard this, he couldn't help but feel surprised in his heart. He had no interaction with Wei Zhongxian, so why could he ask Wei Zhongxian to condescend to greet him?

As for the people behind Yu Zigao, including Qi Jinzhong, everyone looked shocked.

What is Wei Zhongxian’s identity?

The dignified eunuch Bingbi, the eunuch who was the chief of etiquette, the admiral of the East Jishi Factory, the popular man around the emperor, how could his own deputy general, Rong He De, be called Wei Zhongxian?

"Let's go in with our family."

While everyone was in shock, Wei Zhongxian walked forward with a smile, grabbed Yu Zigao's arm, and said as he walked: "We have some wine at home, let's drink and chat!"

This……

Being caught by Wei Zhongxian like this, especially when he saw some eunuchs wearing python robes, all staring at him, Yu Zigao didn't know what to say for a while.

A eunuch who can wear a python robe has a high status in the palace.

Yu Zigao knew that Wei Zhongxian came to Fujian on orders, but he did not expect that there would be so many powerful eunuchs following Wei Zhongxian.

Does the emperor really want to send eunuchs to guard Fujian?

In fact, Yu Zigao is not the only one who has similar thoughts.

Everyone who came to visit Wei Zhongxian, especially those who were officials, wanted to get some useful words from Wei Zhongxian's mouth.

However, Wei Zhongxian is very strict.

It was only announced to the outside world that he came to Fujian on orders, but for what purpose, Wei Zhongxian did not mention it at all. Even if someone under his command went to recruit ships and crews, no one would explain why he did so.

Maybe even to confuse the audience.

Wei Zhongxian also specially dispatched some people to spread the news in some places in Fujian. In short, everything was said, but which ones are true and which ones are false depends on what the people who know about it think.

"Vice President Yu, when you come to our house, you don't have to be so reserved."

When he came to the main hall, Wei Zhongxian looked at Yu Zigao, who had a complicated expression, and said with a smile: "Our family doesn't want to be like some officials in Fujian, who do one thing on the surface and another behind the scenes. I called you here today because I have something important to discuss with you. !”
