Jinyi Town Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 800 Wei Zhongxian's Voting Certificate

Two days later, the main hall of Yongshou Palace.

Emperor Wanli urgently summoned the members of the cabinet, Zhu Bingbi, the supervisor of ceremonies, the six ministries and ministers of various courts.

His Highness, Zhao Min, Wang An, and Chen Ju were kneeling.The other officials stood aside with their hands down.

Emperor Wanli said, "Wang An, Zhao Aiqing's participation in your food is indecent. Is there such a thing?"

Of course Wang An would not admit it, he kowtowed and argued: "Reporting to the emperor, Zhao Min is full of nonsense! The third-class maidservant Su Liu'er of the Compassionate Palace he mentioned turned 32 four years ago. The rules in the palace, the third-class palace The servant girl will leave the palace at the age of 32. Her parents have died and she has no one to rely on, because she is old and unable to marry. The servant girl sees her pitiful, so she takes her into the mansion as a maid and rewards her with a bite of food. I don’t know Zhao Why did the censor tell Shi Yi?"

Wang An told half the truth and half the lie.The maid system is extremely inhumane.The lower-level palace maids will be kicked out of the palace when they are in their 30s. In her 30s, she has become an old girl, who would dare to ask for it?Even if the wealthy households in the capital marry concubines, and brothels accept kiln sisters, they still pay attention to a young girl in her twenties or eight years.

Wang An did feel sorry for Su Liuer, it was true.However, Su Liu'er entered the mansion, not as a maid, but as Wang An's "wife".

Emperor Wanli said: "Oh, Wang An said that what Zhao Min said was nothing. What about you, Chen Ju? Zhao Min participated in the acceptance of a silver wishful handle from your subordinate Wang Zhizhen, which is a bribe. What do you say?"

Chen Ju kowtowed: "Report to the emperor. Last year, the slaves celebrated their birthdays, and Wang Zhizhen did come to celebrate my birthday. But the birthday gift he gave was just ordinary pasta birthday peaches. It is definitely not a silver wish!"

Chen Ju also lied in front of Emperor Wanli.

Emperor Wanli said: "Zhao Min, you impeached Wang An and Chen Ju. It's a rumor, right? If you don't have any evidence, it would be too childish for you to let me deal with the two Bingbi of the Supervisor of Rites."

Zhao Min replied calmly: "Report to the emperor, I have witnesses!"

Emperor Wanli asked, "Oh? Witness? Where is it?"

Zhao Min replied again: "It's in Yongshou Palace."

Emperor Wanli frowned: "It's in the palace? Who? Don't play tricks!"

Zhao Min uttered the name of a person, which surprised Emperor Wanli and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty: "The witness is the stewardship sign of Yongshou Palace, Wei Zhongxian!"

Wei Zhongxian, who was standing beside Emperor Wanli, knelt down, kowtowed and said, "Report to the emperor, this servant is willing to testify for Zhao Yushi. It is true that the prince accepted Su Liuer as his counterpart! On the day he married Su Liuer, this servant went to eat Passed the wedding banquet at the prince’s mansion! When Eunuch Chen was celebrating his birthday, it is also true that he received Wang Zhizhen’s silver Ruyi handle. On the day of the birthday banquet, the servant girl stood beside Chen Eunuch. Wang Zhizhen’s offering of silver Ruyi was witnessed by the servant girl. !"

Emperor Wanli was dumbfounded; Wang An was dumbfounded; Chen Ju was dumbfounded; the cabinet elders and ministers were dumbfounded!
Who in the court doesn't know that Wei Zhongxian belongs to Wang An and Chen Ju?Now he strikes back and proves that the two masters have committed illegal affairs?

Wei Zhongxian betrayed?

Zhang Jing was on the side, appreciating this good show quite calmly!He made his own judgment: this scene was co-acted by Wei Zhongxian and Zhao Min!The purpose is to hand me Zhang Jing a vote certificate!Heh, He Liu made me fight.They knew that following Wang An and Chen Ju against me would not end well.So, these two people teamed up and beat Wang An and Chen Ju hard.Ready to change the sect and vote under my sect!

Zhang Jing secretly watched Emperor Wanli's reaction from the corner of his eyes.

Emperor Wanli stared at Wei Zhongxian, thinking to himself: He Liu, Wang An, and Chen Ju all support Luo Er.With them around, Xun'er would not be able to become the crown prince smoothly.I might as well push the boat along the way, spare Wang An and Chen Ju's errands, and hand over Jinyiwei and Dongchang to Zhang Jing.In this way, the balance of the court will immediately tilt to Xun'er's side!
Emperor Wanli made up his mind, and said with a righteous face: "Wang An, as the governor of Dongchang, you don't know how to check, and it's indecent. Looking at your virtue, you can't bear the heavy responsibility of Dongchang. I think you are in the palace. I have served in the middle school for many years, and it is quite a bit of work. I will remove the position of the supervisor of the Erdong Factory, retain the title of Lijian Bingpen, and send it to my supervisor of Wannian Jiyang!"

Wang Anru kowtowed in mourning for his concubine: "Your maidservant takes the order to thank you."

Emperor Wanli said again: "Chen Ju, officials often say, don't do good because it is small, and don't do evil because it is small. Although a silver ruyi is not worth a few dollars, you can't open such a mouth! In the matter of corruption, there has always been one and two, and there is a big one if there is a small one. I have to guard against the erroneous. From today on, you will also retain the title of ceremonial supervisor and pen, hand over Jinyiwei, and go to my ten thousand years of auspicious land to talk to the king. Let's supervise the workers together!"

Although Chen Ju was unwilling, he could only kowtow to thank him.

Emperor Wanli said: "Forget it. You two go down, leave Beijing immediately and go to Wannian auspicious land!"

Wang An and Chen Ju left angrily.They never expected that at the critical moment, Wei Zhongxian would strike back!
Wei Zhongxian stared at the backs of the two leaving, and said in his heart: "Eunuch Wang, Eunuch Chen, I did not betray you. One day, you will understand that I am helping you! Master Liu will explain it to you for me. "

Wang An and Chen Ju left.The power of Dongchang and Jinyiwei has been vacated.

Emperor Wanli said: "From today onwards, Zhang Jing will be in charge of the official seal, and concurrently serve as the admiral of the East Factory and the supervisory eunuch of Jinyiwei."

Zhang Jing believed that Wei Zhongxian had accepted the vote of honor to him, and he should repay him with peaches.He kowtowed and said, "My majesty, the ability of this servant is limited. I am in charge of the supervisor of ceremonies, but also supervise the East Factory and Jinyiwei. I am afraid that these three heads can't take care of them. The servant suggested that Wei Zhongxian be promoted to the deputy governor of the East Factory, and help the servant to supervise. Jin Yiwei!"

Emperor Wanli thought for a moment.Said: "Okay. Wei Zhongxian, since Zhang Jing recommended you, I will promote you to the deputy governor of the East Factory to supervise Jinyiwei!"

Wei Zhongxian kowtowed and shouted: "I thank the emperor for your kindness!"

Emperor Wanli said: "Forget it, let's leave if there is nothing to do!"

Wei Zhongxian came out of the main hall, in the alley of Yongshou Palace, Zhang Jing stopped him.

Zhang Jing said with a smile: "Zhongxian, you are really a person who knows current affairs."

Wei Zhongxian clasped his hands and said, "Even He Liu is not Eunuch Zhang's opponent. Let alone Chen Ju and Wang An? This servant knows that only by following Eunuch Zhang can we have a good future."

Zhang Jing was overjoyed: "Oh, that's a good word! Don't worry, you will follow me from now on, and I will not treat you badly. You should work hard in Jinyiwei first. After a year or so, I will report to the emperor again. I recommend you to join the Supervisor of Ceremonies as a pen writer! After a hundred years from now, the seat of the palm print will be yours!"

Wei Zhongxian said: "Thank you, Eunuch Zhang, for your support."

Zhang Jing suddenly remembered something: "Oh, yes. Zhang Rongyun, the maid in my house, Zhongxian, do you still like it? I will change her name to Wei Rongyun tomorrow and send it to your house."

Zhang Rongyun is Wei Zhongxian's biological daughter!Zhang Jing regarded her as a hostage to threaten Wei Zhongxian to turn against him!

The corner of Wei Zhongxian's mouth twitched slightly, and his calm expression was randomly restored: "Thank you, Eunuch Zhang."
