"Yes!"

A large group of people poured in from the outside, fell to the ground one by one, and then the shackles and shackles were put together, and they were pushed outside without any explanation.

These fans were all transferred by Jin Yiwei, this time, it was like a hungry tiger pouncing on its food, very fierce.From their point of view, Gu Bingqian is the chief assistant, so there must be a lot of oil and water!

"Elder-in-law, spare your life, spare your life, the subordinate is loyal to you..."

"Eunuch Wei, the lower officials have silver and silver, as much as you want..."

"Eunuch Wei, Eunuch Wei, help me, I am an old man of Mrs. Fengsheng..."

Fu Yingxing pulled them out one by one, and when he saw someone familiar, he kicked them viciously.These days, Wei Zhongxian is in prison, and he is not having a good time. Seeing these white-eyed wolves, he has the heart to kill.

These people were pulled out one by one, and only Wei Zhongxian, Fu Yingxing, and Gu Bingqian were left in the hall.

After a while, Gu Bingqian calmed down, feeling regretful in his heart.

Logically speaking, Zhu Xu had no reason to touch him, except for the threat that day.

This also made him understand that Zhu Xu was not the apocalypse, and he was not something that ministers could shout at and threaten.

He aged too much in an instant, he was more than 70 years old, and now he looks more like a centenarian, only half a step away from the coffin.

However, he still had a glimmer of hope, looked at Wei Zhongxian and said in a deep voice, "I want to see the emperor."

Fu Yingxing sneered, and said: "The emperor is willing to see you. If you don't know how to live or die, the emperor will see you whenever you want!"

Fu Yingxing is completely convinced of the new emperor Zhu Xu. When he was King Hui, he sent Wei Zhongxian, who was in full swing, into the sky prison twice. Now that he is sitting on the supreme position, he dare not have the slightest rebellious heart !

Wei Zhongxian looked at Gu Bingqian, his heart was full of joy, the glass beads in his hand turned slowly, and there was a faint and harsh sound of friction.

He suppressed this unprecedented pleasure, took out a memorial from his pocket, handed it to Gu Bingqian, and said indifferently: "Master Gu, take the pen."

Gu Bingqian looked up at Wei Zhongxian, reached out to take it, and saw that this was the memorabilia for appointing Zhang Woxu as Minister of Rites and Xu Dahua as Minister of Industry!

The last hope in his heart was also shattered. Looking at the playbook, he gritted his teeth for a while, picked up the pen tremblingly, and drafted on it.

Now he is still the chief assistant of the cabinet. With his draft proposal, hand it over to the Supervisor of Rituals, and once the decree is issued, it will be regarded as a formal appointment.

As soon as Fu Yingxing saw that he had finished writing, he pulled him over and said angrily, "Come here, take Gu Bingqian to prison!"

Immediately, four brocade-clothed guards rushed in quickly, and escorted Gu Bingqian out like a wolf like a tiger.

Gu Bingqian no longer resisted, completely desperate.

Wei Zhongxian stood in front of the lobby of the Gu Mansion, looking at the blue sky, his eyes were as sharp as an arrow.

Fu Yingxing was also arrogant, looked at Wei Zhongxian's side face, and said eagerly: "Uncle, this time, we must express our anger fiercely!"

Wei Zhongxian was spinning the glazed ball in his hand, with one hand behind his back, and said in a strange tone: "Do you know why I have been attacked by those foreign ministers before? Do you have to put me to death?"

Fu Yingxing was taken aback for a moment, and said, "Because uncle is a courtier?"

Internal ministers and foreign ministers have always been hostile, because when it comes to power, they can live in harmony, either because the foreign ministers are weak or the internal ministers are weak.

The Donglin Party has always been stubborn, dedicated to exorcising evil and using righteousness to rejuvenate the Ming Dynasty. It cannot tolerate "xiao Xiao", "evil party" and eunuchs fighting for power, so the party struggle is more intense than in Wanli.

In history, even if Wei Zhongxian killed so many people, the Chongzhen Dynasty still had more than [-] chief assistants and hundreds of ministers. On average, the first minister was less than half a year. If it is replaced, the generals who lead the troops outside will not be able to escape. Whether they are executed or killed in battle, they cannot escape the party struggle!

This shows how far the bureaucratic groups in the late Ming Dynasty fought each other!

Wei Zhongxian seemed unaware of Fu Yingxing's words, and said to himself: "Because I don't take reason, the so-called reason goes all over the world, if I have enough evidence, I will show it if there is any objection, and they will continue to scold you. What can I do?"

Fu Yingxing's heart skipped a beat, and he said hastily, "Uncle, it's more than that, as long as you show up, I'm afraid those people won't let us go!"

Wei Zhongxian looked up at the sky, and said: "It's right to keep a low profile. The emperor has always kept his secrets and planned carefully...I think back then, I also wanted to do many things, but the Donglin Party would not allow me to disrespect the late emperor... ..."

Fu Yingxing couldn't understand Wei Zhongxian now, and didn't know what he was thinking.

Wei Zhongxian was immersed in his own world, and it took a while before he came back to his senses, took a deep breath, and said, "How did you do what I asked you to do?"

Fu Yingxing became excited when he heard it, and said: "Everyone has been sent out, and word has come back that each of the Donglin Party has more than a thousand acres of fertile land, and Ye Xianggao alone has two thousand acres of fertile land, and there are tens of thousands of acres of fertile land. Mother is in the name of his housekeeper..."

The corner of Wei Zhongxian's mouth curled up mockingly, and said: "I'm afraid Ye Xianggao was too scared by Mrs. Zhang, so plan ahead..."

Fu Yingxing didn't understand again, who is this Taifu?

Wei Zhongxian twirled the glazed beads in his hand, stepped forward and said, "Notify these people's families that they will spend money to redeem them, and whoever pays more will be released, ten of them will be released!"

Fu Yingxing's eyes lit up when he heard Yin Zi, and he followed quickly and said, "Okay, I'll do it right away, Uncle, who else do I want to do, I'll take someone there right away!"

Wei Zhongxian walked out of Gu's mansion, walked into the sedan chair, put down the curtain, and said indifferently: "No, let's see first, whoever dances happily will be attacked."

"Yes!"

Fu Yingxing was ecstatic, and with a wave of his hand, the bearer lifted up the sedan chair and walked forward slowly.

The house of Gu Bingqian, the chief assistant, was ransacked, but no one outside knew it——Wei Zhongxian was released from prison.

Chapter 238 The Ministers' Private Grants and Acceptances

At the same time that Gu Bingqian was taken away, Empress Dowager Zhang also came to Wenzhao Pavilion.

The two sat opposite each other, Zhu Xu first let out a long sigh, his face full of helplessness.

He looked at Queen Mother Zhang and said weakly, "Sister-in-law Huang, are you hungry? Shall we eat?"

Empress Dowager Zhang looked at him, pursed the corners of her mouth, shook her head slightly, sat there, looked at Zhu Xu who couldn't hide the fatigue on her face, and said softly: "You, you are too anxious, you have only succeeded to the throne for half a year, no wonder Foreign ministers don't believe you..."

Zhu Xu lay on the table, knocked his chin on the table, laughed, and said, "Where is it that I don't believe it, how can I scold me behind my back, and how to educate me, I know it all."

Empress Dowager Zhang knew Zhu Xu very well. She always knew that he had an idea, and he was someone who would not change it easily after making up his mind. She poured him a cup of tea, looked at him and said, "You can't be too stalemate with foreign ministers. The world still depends on them to govern. These days, princes and nobles, clan and royal relatives, whoever is qualified to see me, go to my father to inquire. I don’t know how many times I stopped. You are too impatient. Just come..."

Zhu Xu didn't know it, but no one gave him a chance, neither natural disasters nor man-made disasters, no later money, not even Annan in the south, nor the Dutch in Europe.

But there was no way to tell Empress Dowager Zhang about these things. After thinking about it, Zhu Xu said, "Well, I understand what the emperor's wife means."

Empress Dowager Zhang saw that Zhu Xu only had such a sentence, obviously there was something else to do later, she sighed lightly, and said, "I don't understand political affairs, but you are still young, you have plenty of time, take care of your health, don't eat some things indiscriminately, and... . . . temperance too.”

Zhu Xu looked up at Empress Dowager Zhang, and didn't realize it for a while, but soon understood.

The emperors of the Ming Dynasty have always had the tradition of eating "elixir". Wanli is inseparable from this. The death of Emperor Taichang is also very strange. Zhu Youxiao also took "elixir".Temperance, it is obviously a woman.

Zhu Xu was amused in his heart, so he could only nod his face and said: "I know that, don't worry, sister-in-law, I don't believe in elixir or anything."

Empress Dowager Zhang nodded. Zhu Xu reassured him about this point. What she should say was almost the same, so she said in the future: "Then, British Duke, how does the emperor plan to deal with it?"

Zhu Xu thought about it, and said: "Sister-in-law, you don't know that this British Duke has been getting closer to Uncle Fu Wang and the others recently. The real purpose of Wei Guogong's coming to Beijing this time is to persuade him."
