Idle courtiers

Chapter 510 Back to the Light (seeking tickets)

Zhu Lun hesitated for a moment, then said: "There is a difficult task, I don't know how to choose? Yan Song, you also said just now that the officialdom has always been dangerous and inexplicable, and if you make a mistake, it will be an abyss."

"However, the benefits offered by others are irresistible to you, isn't it?" Yan Song muttered to himself, his voice was a little soft, and he looked old and thoughtful.

"Indeed, I'm not afraid that Yan Song will make fun of you, that's a great opportunity!" Zou Yinglong asked Zhu Lun to have a secret meeting in "Zhuli Pavilion" yesterday, and asked Jin Yiwei to support all the decisions made by the Xu family.He also made an offer, and once the matter is completed, he will be allowed an official position in fine clothes.

The official positions of the Jinyiwei are set up in this way. There is one commander of the third-rank Jinyiwei, two commanders from the third-rank, two officers from the fourth-rank, and two guardians from the fourth-rank.

The two town governors are naturally the governors of Beiya and Nanya, and Xiao Zhu is now in charge of Beiya.

And his uncle Zhu Xizhong served as Jin Yiwei's instigator.

If Zhu Lun wants to go further, he can only do the work of Tongzhi and Qian.

Ordinarily, Tongzhi is the commander's deputy, and he is half a rank high, but this official position is just an assistant, which doesn't mean much.

In the entire Jinyiwei system, the real power is Qian Shi.

It is equivalent to signing, and has the right to sign.In charge of confidentiality, the key moment is to be able to participate in decision-making.When encountering a strong person, such as Lu Bing back then, he could even overwhelm the commander.

Zhu Lun was able to be the governor of Beizhen, all thanks to Zhu Xizhong's support, and it is impossible to think about it.Further up, there are all relatives with titles, and now his official career has encountered a transparent ceiling.

For Xiao Zhu, it was an irresistible temptation to go from the leader in charge of a department to take charge of the overall situation.

Yan Song: "Master Zhu, in fact, you are an honored relative, and you don't need to worry about the affairs of the foreign court. Isn't it good to live in peace?"

Zhu Lun didn't speak, but just stared at the fire.

Looking at his young face and the gleam of ambition in his eyes, Yan Song seemed to see himself when he was young and understood.Sighing, he said: "Yes, it is the old people's business to see mountains as mountains. Before seeing mountains as mountains and water as water, you must first see whether mountains are mountains or whether water is water. Everyone has to go through that process. You can ask your uncle about this and see how he chooses."

Zhu Lun: "You mean... everything depends on uncle's will?"

Yan Song murmured: "You and him choose the opposite."

"Choose the other way around, why Jie, Yan Song, Yan Song..."

Yan Song's soft snoring sound came from beside his ear, and the old man had already fallen asleep.

Coming out of Yan Song's cell, a confidant whispered: "The governor, according to the report from the younger ones, the people from the East Factory are following you. Moreover, all the personnel from the East Factory are no longer sent out, and all of them are waiting for orders in Beijing." .”

Zhu Lun was startled, and his face turned red with anger: "Chen Hong also made a move, and even followed me?"

That confidant: "Commissioner, this is going to war! It is tolerable, which is unbearable, or, let's show those tails a little bit more?"

"No, let them go."

"The appeasement envoy..."

"I said no." Zhu Lun smiled coldly: "Those bastards probably forgot that they are also soldiers in brocade clothes, but they turned their elbows outward, but they forgot whose rice bowl they were serving."

Dongchang said it was a secret service agency run by eunuchs, but in fact, only Chen Hong was the eunuch in the establishment of the whole factory, and the rest were selected from Jinyi's pro-army.

After leaving Beiya, Zhu Lun rushed to Chen Guogong's mansion of his uncle Zhu Xizhong.

It is still the empty waterside pavilion, without servants serving the waiters, without the singing voice of Kunqu opera singers, only the cold reflection of the frozen lotus pond outside.

"My nephew has met my uncle."

Zhu Xizhong: "My family doesn't need to be polite, but it seems to be born. You are a shallow person, and you won't come to my uncle for nothing. Tell me, what's the matter?"

Zhu Lun was a little nervous, blushing, and slightly sweating on his forehead: "It is reported that my nephew is being followed by Chen Hong."

Zhu Xizhong: "I'm afraid you didn't come here because of being followed?"

Zhu Lun muttered, "There is a problem."

Seeing his embarrassment, Zhu Xizhong smiled: "Needless to say, Xu Jie is looking for you?"

Julien: "Yes... yes..."

"What official position did he give you?"

Zhu Lun stuttered: "Yes, it's about Jinyiyiyi, Qian."

"That's a good thing. Uncle is old and can't do it for a few years. With your means, you may become another Lu Bing in the future."

Zhu Lun couldn't bear it: "Uncle, my nephew is afraid, but my nephew doesn't have such thoughts."

"Don't you really think so? If not, how could you come to see the old man?" Zhu Xizhong laughed and waved his hands: "You, you, the old man said that this is a good thing, and it is a good thing. I am really happy for you. We are all a family People, my sons are all worthless. In my mind, you are no different from my own son. Our Zhu family will need you to support the facade in the future. However, it depends on whether Xu Jie can live through this. One hurdle. If he passed this hurdle, you will naturally follow suit. If you fail to pass this hurdle, you will also be doomed forever, so think about it."

Julien gritted his teeth and said nothing.

Zhu Xizhong: "It seems that you have already made up your mind. Uncle, I naturally have nothing to say."

Zhu Lun: "I also ask uncle to show me."

"Misunderstanding." Zhu Xizhong continued to laugh and said, "The last time I teamed up with Chen Hong to deal with Xu Jie, we had already torn face with him. This time, of course, we are standing on the side of Prince Yu's Mansion."

"uncle……"

Zhu Xizhong: "However, if you want to burn King Jing's cold stove, that's fine."

Julen: "Nephew doesn't understand."

Zhu Xizhong said slowly: "Everyone can understand the current situation. I'm afraid it won't happen for Wansui. Prince Yu's mansion is going around, and King Jing is also on his way back to Beijing. If something happens, Xiyuan is bound to fight. And The power that can control the situation in the capital is only one factory and one guard, the soldiers and horses in the five cities are unusable, and the Beijing camp and the regiment camp can't quench their thirst. Therefore, you and Chen Hong are the key this time."

Julien clenched his fist subconsciously.

Zhu Xizhong: "I'm on King Yu's side. If King Yu can ascend the throne and become emperor in the future, my Zhu family will naturally continue to be rich and prosperous; but if you stand on King Jing's side, if King Jing succeeds in the throne, you will be a hero from the dragon. No matter what, our Zhu family can remain invincible, and it is still the family of Zhong Ming Ding Shi."

Zhu Lun instantly understood that his uncle was going to hedge his bets.Yan Song actually guessed the old man's mind, he is really a powerful character, the first assistant for so many years is really not for nothing.

After Zhu Xizhong finished speaking, he suddenly stood up and gave Zhu Lun a deep bow.

Zhu Lun was shocked: "Uncle, what are you doing? You killed my nephew."

I hurriedly reached out to help, but couldn't help.

Zhu Xizhong: "My worship is not for myself but for our Zhu family. Zhu Lun, no matter which prince ascends the throne in the future, there will be a miserable end between you and me, maybe it will be the end of the head. And The one who is alive has to shoulder the responsibility of the entire family, are you ready, are you willing to sacrifice for the family? This old man is ready, and this old man has no regrets..."

Zhu Lun was trembling with excitement, tears streaming down his face: "My nephew is ready too, no regrets!"

***********************************************
Xiyuan, Yuxi Palace.

Zhou Nan sat blankly in front of the Jiajing couch. He had been watching day and night like this for two days, and the emperor was already in a coma.

In the past two days, he has been to the cabinet twice, but Shi Wenjiang still hasn't arrived. It is said that his post is still blocked by Gao Gong in the cabinet.

Apparently, the Yuwang faction also realized that Jiajing had reached the final stage of his life, and raised his vigilance.

The Yuwang faction and the factory guard have already formed an alliance, and what Zhou Nan is most worried about is Zhu Lun, who is on duty in Xiyuan and is in charge of the guard.

It's okay that the supervisor of ceremonies is on duty, and the person on duty these days is a man named Li Bingbi.Zhou Nan knew this person very well. He was about seventy years old, an old man from the Zhengde dynasty, and had nothing to do with any faction in the court.The reason why he was able to reach this position is that he has senior qualifications and high prestige; Go home for the elderly, don't make trouble for me, and I won't make trouble for you either.It really annoyed our family, and our family is not afraid. At worst, we will go to guard the tombs of the past emperors.

There was nothing wrong with the supervisor's room. Zhu Lun still looked shy when he saw Zhou Nan there, and he handed over his hands to see off the guests before he could say a few words, making it impossible to guess his intentions.In fact, there is no need to think too much, he must have followed Zhu Xizhong and accompanied Yu Wangxi all the way to Hei.

As for Zhang Juzheng, every time Zhou Nan went there to see if Shi Wenjiang was here, Lao Zhang dragged him to discuss the knowledge for a long time, which made Mr. Zhou impetuous, unnatural and not prone to seizures.

When it gets dark at one o'clock, Huang Jin is still recuperating at home, so he probably won't come to Xiyuan.Moreover, even if someone was sent to invite him, wouldn't the news that the emperor's coma was about to take off be leaked just like that?

Zhou Nan felt bitter in his heart, but he didn't know what to do.

He couldn't help murmuring: "Your Majesty, your majesty, don't be so sleepy! You old man is so asleep, what should I do? I am just a little imperial servant, how can I bear this responsibility, your majesty You should wake up for a while, and pass on the imperial decree to all the prime ministers! With the imperial decree, everyone's hearts will be at ease."

While talking, Zhou Nan suddenly felt that his hand on the side of the couch was touched by someone.He looked intently, and saw Jiajing's fingers resting on the back of his hand.

In front of him, Jiajing's eyelids trembled slightly, and then slowly opened: "I'm sorry."

Zhou Nan was surprised and delighted: "Your Majesty, you woke up, and the minister said that the emperor is a man of virtue, and he will live forever."

Jiajing's voice was still a little weak, he smiled wryly and said in a low voice: "Live forever, live forever. From ancient times to the present, how many emperors prayed to immortals and asked, who will finally live the same life as the heaven and the earth? How many days have I passed out? ?”

Zhou Nan: "It has been five days since I returned to Your Majesty."

"Five days, it's been five days, why does it feel like it's just a moment. It seems that it's really not going to happen, maybe it's the last time."

Zhou Nan's heart was even more chaotic, fearful and painful: "Your Majesty is a land god, you will be fine, just keep it for a few days." He looked carefully at Jiajing's face, but saw that there was a trace of ruddy on that face, his eyes There is also gradually a look in the middle.

Mr. Zhou's body shook, and he immediately knew that this was a flashback.
