Domineering Daming

Yang Lian and others have not yet impeached Wei Zhongxian, and Wei Zhongxian has not had too many grudges against Xiong Tingbi and others at this moment. Hearing the message from His Royal Highness King Hui, he sat there with a calm expression and stern eyes.

A stall was standing in front of him, holding a stack of banknotes in his hand, and said excitedly: "Grand Du, 4 taels, His Royal Highness Hui Wang is really generous."

Wei Zhongxian glanced at him, smiled, and immediately frowned and said: "You send the silver to the palace immediately, and let Liu Chao take it to see His Highness Hui Wang, just say, I will obey His Highness's order."

The guy was stunned, stepped forward and said in doubt: "Duke, is this money really returned? This is because he begged us..."

Wei Zhongxian glanced at him coldly, the other leader narrowed his gaze, and hurriedly said: "It's the governor, I'll do it for the humble job."

"Wait!" Wei Zhongxian said calmly the moment he turned around.

Turning his head back, he clasped his fists and said, "What else can the Duke order?"

Wei Zhongxian looked silent, and said after a long time: "You go and tell Jiang Yanshan, I will give him the silver, and let him stop pursuing it, and the emperor will say something nice to Xiong Tingbi."

Jiang Yanshan was the servant Wang Wenyan bribed.

Hearing that, he said, "Yes."

Wei Zhongxian waved his hand and said, "Go."

When the other guy left, Wei Zhongxian stood on top of the tall hall with his hands behind his back, his eyes were filled with arrogance and unwillingness, and he said word by word: "There are still nineteen more!"

As the Donglin Party and the Eunuch Party attacked at the same time, the Xiong Tingbi case, which had already become a taboo in the court and no one wanted to mention more, became the focus again.

This time, the Donglin Party was joined by Wang Wenyan, and soon the voices in the court were almost unified.

The case was uncovered in detail from beginning to end, and the ultimate purpose was to shift the responsibility to Xiong Tingbi's peer, the former governor of Liaodong, Wang Huazhen!

Chapter 133

After Cao Wenzhao delivered the message in the prison, he suddenly felt terrified and hurried back.

Cao Wenzhao came to Zhu Xu's study room and said solemnly to Zhu Xu who was practicing calligraphy: "Your Highness, there is one thing that I forgot to say earlier."

Zhu Xu practiced stroke by stroke, and said, "What is it that you are so anxious about?"

Cao Wenzhao also regretted it secretly, and said respectfully: "Your Highness, I asked Lord Xiong before, and the person who advised him to find me was Minister of the Ministry of War, Sun Chengzong and Sun."

"Sun Chengzong?" Zhu Xu paused his pen and looked up at Cao Wenzhao.

Cao Wenzhao clasped his fists and bowed, saying, "Your Highness, forgive me!"

Zhu Xu frowned and put down his pen with a serious expression.

Sun Chengzong, this person cannot be ignored by Zhu Xu.He is now the Minister of the Ministry of War, and supervises Liaodong. He is the emperor's teacher, and he is also one of the leaders of the Donglin Party. He plays an important role in the court.

If one of the foreign ministers had the greatest influence on Zhu Youxiao, it was undoubtedly him.

Zhu Xu sat on the chair, his eyes flickered slightly, and he said to himself thoughtfully: "Where did the flaws show up, let this Lord Sun see it..."

Cao Wenzhao was also puzzled, hesitantly said: "Your Highness, could it be that you seized the treasury of the six ministries earlier, solved the urgent need in Liaodong, and made Mr. Sun pay special attention to you, what did you see?"

Zhu Xu pinched the center of his brows, unable to figure out what to do, and said helplessly: "The more things you do, the more flaws you will find. Forget it, you will know if you know it. Leave him alone for the time being. Let's see if Xiong Tingbi can get away with it first." Bar."

The situation in the court is really too complicated. The so-called Donglin Party, they are just cronies, and they are connected with each other by "friends", forming a huge network of relationships.They are not "parties" in the true sense, and they have no clear binding force. Once they encounter differences of interest, they will fight each other and attack continuously.

Therefore, although Wang Wenyan has a wide range of friends, it will take a lot of effort and sacrifice too much to link up and curb the power to impeach Xiong Tingbi.It is impossible to rescue Xiong Tingbi all at once, so we can only plan slowly, step by step.

"Your Highness, Bo Qiu, the master of Honglu Temple."

Suddenly, Yao Qingqing's crisp voice sounded outside the door.

Zhu Xu waved his hand at Cao Wenzhao, and said, "Old Cao, you always pay attention to the situation in the court, Xiong Tingbi, I must rescue him!"

Hearing Zhu Xu's words, Cao Wenzhao felt relieved, and said, "It's Your Highness." After speaking, he turned and walked out.

Only then did Zhu Xu shout to the outside: "Let him in."

A rather lean and thin middle-aged man in his 30s came in, raised his hands and bowed to Zhu Xu, and said, "Master Bo of Honglu Temple, Tongshan pays homage to His Royal Highness King Hui."

Zhu Xu took a look at him and said, "Master Tong, is it to receive the North Korean mission?"

"Yes." Tong Shan seemed to be respectful, but he said in a routine manner: "The North Korean mission is expected to take a boat from North Korea on No. The guards are ready, once they land, they will directly pick up the capital, and then please welcome them outside the city."

Daming had never paid so much attention to a small vassal state, but Ming was getting weaker and weaker, and North Korea played an important role in restraining Hou Jin, so the whole Ming Dynasty also attached great importance to North Korea.

Zhu Xu nodded, and with the power of a one-character king, he said calmly: "North Korea, who is here this time?"

Tong Shan obviously knew a lot, and he replied quickly: "Your Highness, it is Dr. Zhengxian, Jin Zhongshan, who is also here to pay tribute and ask for help. Your Highness needs to comfort you."

Zhu Xu didn't know much about this person, so after thinking about it, he said, "Okay, when the time comes, you all come to inform me and explain all the reception procedures clearly. I don't want to lose my prestige in the heavenly kingdom."

"It's Your Highness." Tong Shan said: "When I come back with No. 14, I will bring you a detailed procedure and explain it to Your Highness. Your Highness can follow suit."

Zhu Xu heard the smell, this Honglu Temple completely looked down on him.I guess he just wanted him to use him as a symbol and didn't expect him to do anything, otherwise he wouldn't be so perfunctory and just send a master over.

Zhu Xu smiled calmly and said, "Okay, I know."

Tong Shan raised his eyes to look at Zhu Xu, his eyes were indifferent, and he said, "Then I will take my leave."

Zhu Xu watched him leave, looked down for a while, and suddenly called out: "Old Cao."

Cao Wenzhao turned around and came in, he asked doubtfully, "Your Highness?"

Zhu Xu tapped his fingers on the table, and said: "You inform Bi Maokang, and Cao Bianjiao, prepare cannons, real guns, and expand the field of practice. I want to take the North Korean mission to observe, and I want real guns. Arrive The occasion must be grand and majestic!"

When Cao Wenzhao heard it, he vaguely figured out the taste, and said, "Your Highness, do you want to show off your power?"

Zhu Xu's smile was very meaningful, and he said, "We pay equal attention to kindness and prestige."

Cao Wenzhao didn't know whether this "Enwei" was for North Korea or Honglu Temple, so he agreed and went out to arrange it.

After Cao Wenzhao left, Zhu Xu thought about the special envoy of North Korea, so he asked someone to ask him. After listening, his expression became quite strange.

This Jin Zhongshan was not originally a Korean, but Toyotomi Hideyoshi invaded North Korea, was defeated and captured by Ming soldiers, and finally surrendered to North Korea. In the subsequent Korean War, he made considerable military exploits and has been defending against Japanese pirates in the north. Today He is the Jeongheon doctor of the second rank of North Korea.

Zhu Xu knew the three major signs in the Wanli period, but he didn't expect there to be such a one.

"What a surprise..."

He sat on the rocking chair in front of the door, smiling and talking to himself.

Qian Qianyi stood in front of him respectfully, with no expression on his fat face, but a little trembling in his heart.

Others may not be aware of the ins and outs of the water transport incident, but he has figured it out early in the morning, and he has also seen the subsequent events, and when he thinks about "Huiyun Commercial Bank" and "Huimin Chamber of Commerce", he is terrified.

This His Highness seems to have no desires or desires, no fights and no troubles, but in fact, the methods behind the scenes are really unpredictable. If anyone is missed by him, he will die without knowing.
