"Wait!"

"Who is Supervisor Wei waiting for?"

"Two old friends!"

Wei Zhongxian turned around, looked at the direction he came from, smiled bitterly, and murmured: "Liangqing, I won the bet!"

First he lost the Dongchang, and then destroyed the eunuch party with his own hands. He has no martial arts and no guards to protect him.

At that time, it was his most dangerous moment.

But there is no way, the only way to prove to the new emperor, who has been in the nine days, is that he really has nothing left.

Only in this way can he regain the trust of the new emperor and save his dying life.

In this way, the biggest gamble of life began.

The first bet is that Jinyiwei will rush to the private house in the fire before Dongxichang.

The second bet was that Shen Lian, the commander of Jinyiwei, would protect him due to the disaster in Liaodong.

The third gamble, and the most important gamble, was that under the protection of Jin Yiwei, he would be able to escape from Cao Zhengchun's attack on the Yuhuatian East and West Factory and reach the gate of the palace.

Any bet lost, lost, is his life.

Fortunately, he won.

Da da da!

Da da da!

One black and one white, two thousand-mile horses appeared in front of Wei Zhongxian almost at the same time.

Cao Zhengchun and Yuhuatian dismounted from their horses, gathering their strong internal energy in their palms, as if they were going to take Wei Zhongxian to death.

The hair on both sides of Wei Zhongxian's cheeks was blown up, as if swaying in the strong wind, but it did not cause any damage.

"The two governors must have known about the disaster in Liaodong. Now, let's enter the palace with our family!"

Wei Zhongxian didn't care, turned around indifferently, and walked towards the palace.

The once straight waist gradually became bent, and the dyed black hair became dry and white.

He looked like an ordinary folk old man.

"Damn!"

Governor Cao broke the defense on the spot.

Dongchang was the first thing His Majesty entrusted to him, how could he not do his best.

From the moment he returned to the factory, he started cleaning out the loyalists and lackeys surnamed Wei, as well as the spies from all sides.

It never occurred to him that this person surnamed Wei would be so decisive and ruthless, throwing everything away to gamble on this chance of surviving.

That's why, when he got the news of the disaster in Liaodong and the burning of the Wei family's private house, he rushed here immediately, trying to kill his old enemy, but he missed it after all.

"Let's enter the palace."

Governor Yu used his internal force to shake off the snow on his shoulders, and said freely.

For Wei Zhongxian, if he could be killed, he would naturally kill him, but if he couldn't, it would be harmless.

Although I have regrets, I don't have much obsession.

……

Qianqing Palace.

"Your Majesty, there are 200 million taels of gold, 500 million taels of silver, 1000 million taels of silver treasures, calligraphy and painting, and 500 million taels of silver in land deed shops."

Wei Zhongxian knelt down on the ground and directly and frankly explained all his income over the years.

Internal money.

It is the emperor's personal purse.

The emperor spends money from it, and the emperor does not need to inform the cabinet and the Ministry of Households, and there will be no memorials from the Ministry of Rites or the imperial history to persuade him.

It solved all the problems that the emperor faced in the past when spending money from the treasury.

For example, when the game is on the rise, reward the concubine with some gold and silver jewelry, and the money can come from here.

It avoided the embarrassing situation where the emperor was forced to withdraw the reward due to the remonstrance of the officials.

It is a major feature of this dynasty.

The source of domestic money and food is mainly the royal fields and a small royal business, basically not much money.

But this time, so many things were stuffed in by Wei Zhongxian quietly.

No wonder there is no way to find out where Wei Zhongxian's small treasury is?

Who would have thought of this?

Governor Cao and Governor Yu stood bowed, the corners of their mouths twitching, and they were slandering in their hearts.

"It's already the fourth watch, and the fire is almost gone. Wei Zhongxian should have died in the fire!"

Zhu Youjian looked down at the person who was trembling at the words, and said slowly: "From today onwards, there is only Wei Zhong!"

"Old slave, thank you Your Majesty."

Wei Zhong's heart jumped into his throat, and then fell back into his stomach, so excited that he burst into tears, he kowtowed.

The word Xian was removed and a new life was gained.

"Your Majesty, this is a major military event discovered by the servant girl when she became the governor of the East Factory when the East Factory was rectified. Please take a look at it, Your Majesty."

At this moment when masters and slaves are suitable, Governor Cao "just in time for his meeting" took out the information about the concealment of Hou Jin's invasion and millions of disaster victims in Liaodong, and submitted it.

And, pick yourself out of it.

This matter was known after becoming the governor of the East Factory, but before that, I didn't know it at all.

Whose responsibility should it be, who will bear it.

"This servant also has a major military affairs. It is the copied Liaodong intelligence. His subordinates rushed back and sent it back day and night. Please look over it, Your Majesty."

Governor Yu took out the prepared information from the brocade clothes and presented it.

The two identical messages were read by Zhu Youjian one after another, and his complexion also changed from red to white and then to blue.

"Your Majesty, this old servant only found out three hours ago..."

"Very good!"

Zhu Youjian shattered the imperial case with one palm, and all of them erupted in anger, saying: "The Eunuch Party, Donglin Party and Jinyiwei are really my good ministers!"

After gold is raging.

It affected the entire Liaodong, and also affected the luck of the country.

If he continues to toss like this, for him, a land god who is bound to the fate of the country, he is afraid that he will die within a few years after being linked.

That's the joke of the ski world.

Wei Zhong, Cao Zhengchun and Yu Huatian were stunned before they could be shocked.

"Pass down my will, and all the ministers will enter the palace for a court meeting!"

Chapter 7

Meridian Gate!

"Shoufu, you're here!"

Fang Cifu arrived ahead of time, and seeing Ye Shoufu's sedan chair approaching, he immediately stepped forward to help him.

"Great joy! Great joy!"

Ye Shoufu stretched out his palm, feeling the coolness brought by the snowflakes, and a smile appeared on his old cheeks.

Be at ease.

There is such auspiciousness.

It may not be a bad thing for the new emperor to convene a group of ministers late at night.

"Tonight, although auspiciousness has come down, His Majesty's mood may not be much better!"

The Cabinet Qunfu, Jinshendian University scholar, and Donglin Party member Han Yu walked out, pointed to the direction of the Wei family's private house, and said in a deep voice: "If you can pass it, you will pass it. If you can't pass it, if you think of another way, I will do it." It's still the same sentence, it's a big deal, we have to help each other!"

heard.

Ye Shoufu and Fang Cifu did not make any statement.

The remaining two cabinet scholars, Liu Yixiu and He Zongyan snorted coldly and turned their heads away.

Elder Han Ge didn't mind, he looked at the Meridian Gate which was slowly opening.

Ye Shoufu is the leader of his Donglin Party, and if he doesn't express his position, there is a high probability that he will acquiesce.

Fang Cifu is the leader of the Zhejiang Party, but he is smart and smart. He has many ideas in doing things, but he is not good at making decisions. He can only approach the direction of harmony in everything.

Liu Yixiu and He Zongyan, although both elders of the cabinet, belonged to non-partisan people, and they couldn't understand people like them who formed cliques.

As a result, there are not many available people under his command. In the imperial court, he has no real power and voice, and his sense of existence is extremely low. As long as his attitude is not outrageously opposed, there is no need to pay too much attention to it.

"Your Majesty ordered, before the court meeting, all elders are invited to come to Dongnuang Pavilion to have an audience!"

Holding the whisk, Wei Zhong read out the oral order expressionlessly, then turned around and led the way.

Instead of being arrogant and domineering in the past, he acted wholeheartedly for His Majesty.

"Mr. Wei, why are you not in your private house tonight?"

Old Han Ge said regretfully as he walked.

The words were not poisonous, but judging by the flames soaring into the sky, if they were inside the house, they would probably be burned to death.

"Our family's name is Wei Zhong, and we are His Majesty's new Eunuch Bingbi, the Supervisor of Rituals. He doesn't belong to the East Factory or the West Factory. We can't bear the title of factory owner. I'm afraid that Han Ge has admitted the wrong person!"

Wei Zhong responded indifferently.

This time.

All the people present were taken aback.

Wei Zhong?

Wei Zhongxian?

There is a virtuous character missing.

But they are not blind, they look exactly the same, and their official positions have not changed. If they are two people, who is fooled?

"Then what about the original Wei Zhongxian?"

Old Han Ge sneered.

Losing his identity as the governor of the East Factory, he wanted to reborn and wash away the sins of the former leader of the eunuch party. How could it be such a simple matter.

"Presumably, along with the eunuchs, they were burned to death together in the fire!"

Wei Zhong glanced at Mr. He Ge, a flash of apology flashed in his eyes, and he said without emotion.

In the eunuch party.

There is a right servant named He Zongsheng of the Ministry of Industry, who is none other than He Gelao's compatriot brother.

He is also among the officials who have a banquet at Wei's private house tonight.

Say it.

Elder Han Ge took a deep look at Wei Zhong, full of apprehension, opened his mouth, and said nothing more.

Ye Shoufu and Fang Cifu paused, their hearts were shocked, they sighed, and continued to move forward.

The heart is cruel enough, the hands are black enough!

After He Ge got a slight nod, his whole body was shaken and he walked staggeringly.

After all, the two are brothers of the same mother. Although they have different political views and choices, at this moment, that kind of unspeakable sadness floods into my heart instantly.

"Junmei (character by He Zongyan), how are you?"
