Chapter 820 The Lobbyist
In the East Palace, Zhu Zhanji still had to consider the impact after all. After the quarrel, he only lived in Wang Xian's house for half a month before moving back.It's just that the gap between father and son is not so easy to eliminate. In the past few months, the words he and Zhu Gaochi have said total no more than a few dozen sentences, and they are all polite greetings.

Seeing the growing estrangement between father and son, the Crown Princess, Zhu Zhanxi and others were anxious.I have thought of many ways to make peace, but both of these fathers are stubborn, and neither of them will let go, and they have been frozen like this until now.

On this day, Wang Xian was ordered by the princess to persuade the grandson... In fact, Wang Xian had given up on persuasion a long time ago, because he had already understood that half of the dispute between the father and son was due to diametrically opposed ideas, and the other half It is mixed with the grievances and grievances between the three generations of the emperor... To put it bluntly, Zhu Zhanji looked down on the prince, and the prince was also very dissatisfied because his son was too close to the emperor and lacked respect for himself.

In Zhu Zhanji's view, his father was able to become the prince because he gave birth to a good son like himself, and he was able to sit firmly as the prince because he had a good son like himself.And all his thoughts are devoted to serving the emperor's grandfather and please Zhu Di, so how can he feel his father's sadness?

Zhu Zhanji refused to give in first. Could it be that the prince, the father, apologized first?There is no way to persuade this matter, so Wang Xian came here to sell dog meat, and what he wanted to talk to Zhu Zhanji was another matter.

"I heard that Dongchang is going to recruit a lot of people. Why are you hanging out here?" Zhu Zhanji glanced at his future brother-in-law... The only thing that makes him happy this winter is that under his soft and hard way, Yinling finally softened and agreed to go to the temple fair with him tomorrow.

"I came to you for this matter." Wang Xian sighed and said, "You have to persuade the emperor to give up this idea."

"Why?" Zhu Zhanji looked at Wang Xian with a serious expression on his face.

"Your majesty is raising tigers to cause trouble, and it will eventually kill the Ming Dynasty!" Wang Xian said in a deep voice, "In all dynasties, the monopoly of eunuchs has not had a good result."

After hearing this, Zhu Zhanji smiled disapprovingly and said, "It's a bit early to say this, Dongchang hasn't done anything yet, how dare you say that this is a bad move?"

Hearing this, Wang Xian sighed in his heart. It is indeed too early for him to say this now... This is like pointing at a baby and saying that this guy must be a murderer in the future.No matter how effective this prophecy is in the future, at this moment, no one will believe it.

"I know, the rise of Dongchang has made you feel pressure," Zhu Zhanji saw that Wang Xian didn't speak, thinking that he was being told, he patted Wang Xian on the shoulder, and comforted him: "But don't worry, I'm here, No one can ride on your head."

"You're wrong," Wang Xian shook off Zhu Zhanji's hand, and said with a dark face, "You think I'm playing my own tricks?"

"Of course not." Zhu Zhanji smiled, but it was obviously perfunctory.

"To tell you the truth, not only Dongchang, but even Jinyiwei are harmful to this country!" Wang Xian said solemnly: "The imperial court has the imperial censor, the Dali Temple of the Ministry of Punishment, and the local inspectorate and sub-inspectors." Dao, as well as prefectural and county yamen, this whole set of well-established judiciary institutions, to maintain the rule of the court! Why is there another Dongchang Jinyiwei?!"

"Because," Zhu Zhanji said in his heart, is there any need to ask, of course my grandpa doesn't trust them.Of course he couldn't say this, he smiled wryly and said, "You know..."

"I don't understand!" Wang Xian shook his head decisively and said: "I knew that the monarch and his ministers would be suspicious, and the country would not be far away!"

"You're talking too far." Zhu Zhanji frowned. Although the two of them had never been shy about talking, such naked words still made him unhappy for a while.

"It's far away, so let's talk about going back to Dongchang." Wang Xian took a deep breath, calmed down and said, "Do you care about this matter?"

"I really can't control it." Zhu Zhanji smiled bitterly, spread his hands and said, "To tell you the truth, this is my grandpa's idea, and I can't change it. Zhao Ying, the admiral of the East Factory, is also something I can't afford to offend." ..."

"Okay." Wang Xian knew Zhu Zhanji very well, as long as it was something that hindered his interests, don't expect to let go, so he smiled and said: "I didn't say anything."

How could Zhu Zhanji not feel the disappointment of his good friend, and sighed apologetically, "Brother, I really can't help..."

.

When Wang Xian returned to the yamen, Erhei and others came up to meet him and asked, "How is it, my lord?"

Wang Xian shook his head, sighed and said, "We can't talk about Taisun, we have to think of other ways."

"Don't think about it yet, someone is waiting for you." Er Hei said.

"Who?" Wang Xian was in a bad mood, and he was going to send it out if there were no one else waiting.

"Your teacher, Wei Yuan and Minister Wei." Erhei smiled wryly, "I can't dismiss you casually."

"Hey..." Wang Xian sighed depressingly, asked someone to change his clothes, and went to the front to meet Wei Yuan.

.

"Oh, my teacher Wei, what brought you here?!" When Wang Xian came to the front, his face was already full of happiness, and he couldn't see a trace of frustration just now.

"Come over here to do something, and I'll chat with you by the way." Wei Yuan has just been promoted to the right servant of the Ministry of Punishment, and has many cases with Jin Yiwei... He even said bluntly that the reason why he was able to be promoted to the Ministry of Justice in a few years from the Hanlin editor The high-ranking official is largely because of his teacher-student relationship with Wang Xian, those civil servants just want to use him to suppress Wang Xian...

"That's a good thing." Wang Xian smiled and ordered: "Hurry up and change the Dahongpao for my teacher," he said with a smile to Wei Yuan: "The decent Dahongpao, even the prince will not be able to drink it."

"It seems that I'm really in the right place." Wei Yuan looked at his noble student with a smile, and he could still vaguely recall the green-clothed official who served under his hall back then. The little official has become a super first-rank official!He, a teacher who thought he was not slow to rise, was far behind.

However, Wei Yuan was very happy in his heart. After all, the students had developed, and as a teacher, he had a bright face.

When Dahongpao came up, Wang Xian personally poured tea for Wei Yuan, twirling a Yixing purple clay cup as thin as a cicada's wings, smelling the alluring tea fragrance, Wei Shilang half-closed his eyes intoxicated and said: "It's really a masterpiece."

"It's almost the same when I drink it," Wang Xian said with a smile: "If the teacher likes it, you can take it all."

"Haha," Wei Yuan said happily, "This is so embarrassing."

"Teacher is too polite," Wang Xian said with a smile, "it is right to respect the teacher."

"Then I deserve it." Wei Yuan smiled and chatted with Wang Xian before changing the subject: "I don't know what Zhongde thinks about the Dongji Incident Factory?"

"Haha..." Wang Xian's heart moved, and he said with a smirk: "What else can I think, if there is one more person who grabs food from the pot, the days to come will be sad."

"What else?" Wei Yuan said lightly.

"Not for the time being." Wang Xian smiled and shook his head.

"Zhongde didn't say anything on purpose." Wei Yuanruo looked at Wang Xian meaningfully, "Do you think it's hard to comment on your colleagues?"

"What's your opinion, teacher?" Wang Xian asked noncommittally.

"I thought that Dongchang was the bane of the world!" Wei Yuan said in a deep voice, "If it is not eliminated as soon as possible, it will definitely evolve into a scene of national subjugation with eunuchs meddling in politics and riding on the world!"

"En." Wei Yuan's words were exactly the same as what he said to Zhu Zhanji just now, but he still nodded noncommittally as if he had changed himself.

"Zhong De!" Seeing him like this, Wei Yuan said out of anger, "You must live for the common people of the world, except for this calamity!"

"Hey," Wang Xian said with a wry smile, "No one can change the emperor's mind, and besides my current status, I'm afraid saying this will only be counterproductive."

"You must have a way." Wei Yuan looked at him with confidence, "There is nothing in this world that you can't do."

"Teacher thinks too much of me," Wang Xian said helplessly, "It's really impossible."

When Ren Weiyuan said it was broken, Wang Xian insisted that there was no other way, and put on a posture of beating him to death, and finally lost his temper by relying on Teacher Wei, and left with a dark face... But just like that, he still hasn't forgotten He took his own Dahongpao.

"That's right," Erhei shook his head and sighed as Wei Shilang left in the sedan chair with the tea pot in his hands, "I thought he wouldn't bother to ask for our tea if he got angry."

"That would make things worse," Wang Xian said with a smile, "My teacher is not that kind of fool."

While talking, everyone entered the room, and after taking their seats, Shuai Hui smiled and said, "It seems that Dongchang is not a bad thing, at least let those civil officials no longer regard us as the number one opponent." The sign of peace, it is not that Wang Xian took the initiative to provoke the civil servants, but that the civil servants always regard them as imaginary enemies, never willing to cooperate sincerely, and make tricks and trips whenever they have time, which makes Jinyiwei and others very disgusted.

In their view, Wang Xian's refusal of the civil servant's request is really justified and very satisfying.

"No," but Wang Xian shook his head firmly and said, "East Factory is a bad thing, we can't let them grow!"

"Then why didn't your lord agree to him?" Shuai Hui was puzzled.

"You're stupid!" Erhei squinted his eyes, and said with a sneer, "They clearly use adults as their guns. Even if we... have to deal with Dongchang, it's our own business, not their order."

"Oh." Shuai Hui nodded, looked at Wang Xian and said, "Is that so, my lord?"

"Yes." Although what Er Hei said was not entirely correct, Wang Xian didn't need to explain too much. Now that he is in his position, the less he said, the better.

"But," Yan Qing frowned slightly: "What should we do? As the adults said, the East Factory was born to monitor Jinyiwei, and our situation is really inconvenient to do anything."

"Actually, it's not difficult," Wang Xian said indifferently, "The emperor is now very suspicious. As long as someone gives a few words of advice, the situation will be greatly improved...Even though we can't kill Dongchang, at least we can put a bridle on them!"
