How to make a famous minister

Chapter 44

Emperor Tianqi finally heard Yang Lian's impeachment of Wei Zhongxian's "24 Deadly Sins", which was rumored outside the palace.

The entire palace is full of eunuchs and maids who have pulled out their tongues. No matter what the rumors outside the palace say, they all keep silent about Emperor Tianqi.Emperor Apocalypse lost his eyes and ears, so naturally the world was peaceful and prosperous all day long.

Emperor Tianqi heard the news from Queen Zhang.Hearing this news for the first time, Emperor Tianqi was still surprised, and asked Empress Zhang: "I haven't seen Yang Lian's papers come up in the past few days, how did you know about it?"

Empress Zhang also didn't expect Wei Zhongxian's hands and eyes to reach this point, and Emperor Tianqi knew nothing about it.It is conceivable that Emperor Tianqi no longer has any control over this country and the palace where he lives.

"Your Majesty doesn't know anything? The concubine thought that His Majesty had made his own decision. Lord Yang Lian's excerpts are known to everyone inside and outside the palace. It is said that even the children in the market can recite them."

Emperor Tianqi was horrified, although he knew that Wei Zhongxian was very powerful in the palace, but he was the nanny Hakka's opponent, and these years he was very fond of him, he handled daily affairs properly, and he was also polite and orderly.

He didn't expect that Wei Zhongxian would dare to withhold Yang Lian's booklet privately.

Yang Lian is the vice capital censor and minister Gu Ming.Back then, before he ascended the throne, he was extremely dangerous. It was Yang Lian who was sleepless at night, placed up and down, and his hair turned gray within six days. .

If Yang Lian was not a loyal minister, there would not be a single loyal minister in the Ming Dynasty.

Emperor Tianqi was in a trance on the way back to the Qianqing Palace. For a while, he thought about Wei Zhongxian's meticulous service over the years, and for a while, he thought that Liu Xuanshi almost prevented him from being enthroned four years ago with the help of a group of eunuchs in the palace, and that Wei Zhongxian was the wet nurse Hakka If Wei Zhongxian has a double heart, how should he explain it to Hakka...

But the emperor is the emperor after all, no one should try to take him under his nose.

Before returning to Qianqing Palace, Emperor Tianqi instructed people to recruit Wei Zhongxian.

In fact, before he could speak, the clever little eunuch had already rushed to report to Wei Zhongxian.

"What?!" Wei Zhongxian's rich and pampered face was dripping with cold sweat and flustered.

Although everyone outside the palace knew about it, this Daming was the emperor's Daming, as long as Emperor Tianqi didn't know about it, it could be dragged over if it was delayed again and again.

Those officials who followed suit would also think that the emperor supported Wei Zhongxian with a tacit attitude, and no matter how powerful the momentum was, it would naturally decline.

When the time comes, he will take action to deal with Yang Lian, and he will be able to deal with those officials who have made trouble.

Wei Zhongxian had long been thinking in his mind where this official would be demoted, and what reason the official would use for his dismissal.And Yang Lian, Wei Zhongxian had already figured out how to kill Yang Lian. First, he should be dismissed as a civilian, and then Wang Wenyan would frame him for corruption, so Yang Lian should be killed.

Wei Zhongxian didn't expect that he could not wait for the wind to go down, but Emperor Tianqi knew it first.

Wei Zhongxian never hated Empress Zhang so much for a moment.

Before he could think of any way to fool him, an eunuch summoned Wei Zhongxian to meet him according to Emperor Tianqi's orders.

No way, although there is nothing to do now, Wei Zhongxian had no choice but to bite the bullet and go.

Wei Zhongxian has someone beside Emperor Tianqi, but it doesn't mean that Zhu Youjian can insert his own people into Emperor Tianqi's side.Although under Wei Zhongxian's management, this palace has become a place where favors and money open the way, but he also knows that Emperor Tianqi is the foundation of his life.Wei Zhongxian is more concerned about Emperor Tianqi's safety than anyone else in this world.

Zhu Youjian couldn't put people around Emperor Tianqi, but he was able to mix his eyeliner in other places.

Even the news that Queen Zhang told Emperor Tianqi today was actually secretly passed on to her by someone instructed by Zhu Youjian.

As soon as Zhu Youjian knew that Queen Zhang had told Emperor Tianqi about Yang Lian's impeachment of Wei Zhongxian, he knew the time had come.

He has been waiting for this day for a long time.

"Come here, change clothes." Zhu Youjian said with a smile on his lips, he was sure of winning, "This king is going to meet... His Majesty."

As soon as Emperor Tianqi returned to Qianqing Palace, a eunuch came to report, "His Royal Highness Xinwang has been waiting for you for a long time."

"Oh?" Emperor Tianqi raised his eyebrows and said strangely, "Why did the fifth brother come?" He thought for a while, and already thought that perhaps Queen Zhang's mention of Wei Zhongxian today had something to do with Zhu Youjian's meeting now.

Emperor Tianqi couldn't help feeling resentful - he was the only one in the whole palace who was deaf and dumb.

"His Royal Highness King Xin is here to pay his respects."

Emperor Tianqi nodded indiscriminately, "Let's declare."

As soon as Zhu Youjian entered the main hall, he saluted Emperor Tianqi.

"No, get up."

Zhu Youjian heard that Emperor Tianqi's voice was displeased, and there was still anger directed at him in his tone, and he was a little puzzled.

Logically speaking, he heard the news from Queen Zhang and invited Wei Zhongxian.No matter how much you want to scold, no matter how angry you are, it should be towards Wei Zhongxian, why are you towards him?

Zhu Youjian got up and stole a look at Emperor Tianqi, who happened to be watching him all the time, and the two were meeting their upper eyes.

Zhu Youjian was startled, did Brother Huang know that he was behind it?Or guess that he was in collusion with Queen Zhang?

He simply said directly: "I saw that the emperor's brother looked unhappy today, but I'm not in a good mood?"

Emperor Tianqi curled his lips, "I just heard some bad news from your sister-in-law, and I'm just worried."

"If the emperor is willing, why not talk to the minister. Although the minister is still young, he is willing to share the worries and problems of the emperor."

"Hey, you like to go outside the palace to see people in the market, so you must know it." Emperor Tianqi said, "I heard that even illiterate children can recite Yang Lian's impeachment of Wei Zhongxian's "24 Deadly Crimes". Why do you Never mentioned it to me?"

Zhu Youjian didn't expect that Emperor Tianqi was not the first to attack Wei Zhongxian, but questioned him first.

"I haven't found time to go out of the palace recently."

Zhu Youjian paused for a moment, seeing that Emperor Tianqi looked worried, and said, "Although I like to go out of the palace to play, I rarely go to those places in the market. I don't know much about it. I went out of the palace once a while ago, although I heard about it A few, but I thought it was just a trivial matter. Moreover, it was Yang Lian Yushi who impeached the official supervisor Bingbi, thinking that the emperor's brother already knew about it, and he had his own sense of propriety, and the humble minister did not dare to talk too much."

Emperor Apocalypse looked better now.

Although his fifth younger brother was his only younger brother and the only heir to the throne before he gave birth to a son, but since he was still young, it was common for the Zhu family to have children late, so Emperor Tianqi was not in a hurry.

Now that Zhu Youjian knows how to measure, Emperor Tianqi doesn't mind so much that he might be with the Queen and the Donglin Party.Moreover, Emperor Tianqi prefers to think about things for the better, and miss the old love, and in the blink of an eye, he treats Zhu Youjian as well as usual.

Zhu Youjian wanted to hand over the impeachment papers he ordered someone to copy down, but then he saw Wang Tiqian standing behind Emperor Tianqi, who seemed to be pleasing to the eye with a low eyebrow.

Wang Tiqian is Wei Zhongxian's best friend, everyone knows this.

Zhu Youjian put the manuscript back again.

The two of them didn't say a few words, and the eunuch sent a message: "Eunuch Wei is here."

"Tell him to get out!"

Wei Zhongxian really trembled and rolled in.He didn't dare to look at Emperor Tianqi's face, so he knelt down on the ground and walked in front of Emperor Tianqi, crying bitterly.

"This humble minister deserves death! He deserves death!"

Emperor Tianqi was furious at Wei Zhongxian, snorted coldly, and didn't ask whether he had a ghost in his heart or was secretly spying on the saint, so he knew why he knew that he was going to deal with him as soon as he came up without saying anything.

"You are courageous enough. You dare to withhold even Minister Gu Ming's book! I think you have eaten the heart of a bear!" Emperor Tianqi scolded repeatedly, "Wei Zhongxian, I think you don't know whether this Daming's surname is Zhu or not?" My surname is Wei!"

Wei Zhongxian was still crying on his knees before, but now he is about to cry on his stomach, "Old minister, this old minister is really obsessed with ghosts for a while! This old minister deserves to die... It's just the "24 crimes" written by Mr. Yang. I didn’t know about it at all. Those godsons and grandsons under the old minister sat behind my back behind my back. If I didn’t see Mr. Yang’s impeachment papers, the old minister wouldn’t even know what they did. What happened to the beasts! These few days, the old officials are locking them up and checking them one by one! It is bound to find out the truth."

Emperor Tianqi saw him saying "veteran" one by one, and saw him kneeling on the ground trembling and crying miserably, and his heart softened.

"Yang Lian has always been loyal and upright. If you hadn't been so angry, I'm afraid he wouldn't have dedicated a book to you. You told me that I didn't know anything about the good things your children and grandchildren did. They clearly treated me like I was three years old. Children fooling around!"

Wei Zhongxian heard that although Emperor Tianqi's tone was still a bit tough, his attitude softened a lot, and he was secretly happy, and he had a chance to escape this crisis.

"There are a few Zhuangzi, they mentioned it to me, but I thought it was all obtained by obeying the rules and laws. Over the years, the veterans didn't know that the charcoal fire and ice respect they brought up as filial piety were dirty pickled money from greed. , I thought it was their pure filial piety. If they knew, the old minister would rather suffer from the cold than suffer from it.

The sage loves the people like a son, how dare the veterans bully the people.I don't have a biological child, and the family pitied me for being lonely, so they adopted one for me, and adopted some godsons as grandsons, so that the family would not be deserted, and there would be no one to burn incense behind.But I never expected...they are all inferior to animals.If I had known this before... I would rather live with Ke Shi, not so much. "

At the end, Wei Zhongxian burst into tears, if Zhu Youjian knew his nature well, he would almost have been deceived.
