Value room

"Mr. Zhang, Your Majesty issued a summoning order and two test questions, and has already told the world."

Yao Zongwen, the head of the Ministry of War, came in with a notice.

The Minister of War Zhang Heming looked at the report and replied without raising his head:

"I have known this for a long time!"

"Since Mr. Zhang knew it for a long time, why didn't he stop Your Majesty? Your Majesty's move really treats our Ministry of War officials as nothing!"

Yao Zongwen was so angry that he wandered in the duty room. This was really a slap in the face. Everyone in the Ministry of War knew about the soldiers, and there were countless officials in the court. His Majesty actually ignored them and issued a ruling order to seek talents, and also gave two such sensitive test questions.

Zhang Heming put down the memorial in his hand and replied lightly:

"Stop it? How to stop it? Your Majesty trusts the factory guards, especially Wei Zhongxian. Liu Gong received the news that the reason why Your Majesty issued this order to summon the wise is Wei Zhongxian's idea."

Yao Zongwen asked in confusion:

"Who is Wei Zhongxian?"

And Zhang Heming said hatefully:

"Wei Zhongxian is the current admiral of the East Factory. When this person was a small eunuch, he had contact with the three parties of Fang Zhe. Wei Zhongxian's food was his maid Keshi. Fang Zhe valued this identity and took the initiative to contact Wei Zhongxian and let Wei Zhongxian speak greedy words to His Majesty through Keshi."

"On the day of the dynasty meeting, Your Majesty was bewitched by Na Ke. The list was handed over by Fang Zhe to Wei Zhongxian. Wei Zhongxian handed it over to Xu Xianchun, and Ke Shi was fanning the flames in it, which led to the tragic death of all colleagues."

"Then we waited for the day in the court, and we impeached Fang thief. The reason why Fang thief did not say a word was that he had expected that he would join forces with Wei Zhongxian and Ke to deceive His Majesty, turning black and white, and to die with us Donglin Qingliu!"

Yao Zongwen finally understood, no wonder after His Majesty ascended the throne, he seemed to have changed his other person, and he did not discuss anything with the great monks. It turned out that Na Keshi and Wei Zhongxian were in trouble.

And that thief was very abominable. He could think of such a vicious plan, and would rather die with Zuo Gong and the others if he didn't become an official.

"Then aren't that Keshi and Wei Zhongxian controlling the government now?"

Zhang Heming sighed again:

"Who said no? I heard that since His Majesty ascended the throne, he mostly loved Nakeshi and drank the soup made by Nakeshi every day. And Nakeshi followed him every day. She went wherever His Majesty went, and she asked her to serve him when she got up and bed."

Yao Zongwen was so shocked. This was even more terrifying than Emperor Shenzong's favored Emperor Zheng.

"Mr. Zhang, if this continues, will my Ming Dynasty produce a second Concubine Wan?"

Concubine Wan was the favorite concubine of Emperor Xianzong and the nurse of Emperor Xianzong. She was nearly twenty years older. After Concubine Wan died, Emperor Xianzong was very sad and seriously ill. Not long after, he followed Concubine Wan.

"Mr. Zhang, we must make a difference. We cannot make this Keshi the second Concubine Wan. Otherwise, wouldn't we be the sinner of the Ming Dynasty?"

Yao Zongwen can't be nervous. It's only three months since His Majesty ascended the throne. Keshi and Wei Zhongxian are almost covering the sky with one hand. This is another three months, and they still have a way out?

"I have discussed this matter with Mr. Liu and Mr. Han of the Cabinet and the other five ministers. Mr. Liu and others unanimously suggest that they ignore the Keshi first. Now they should organize my righteous people in the world and make a statement together to dismiss the factory guards first, otherwise we will just be a wolf in the mouth of a tiger!"

"Wei Zhongxian is just using the factory guard as his minions. As long as he is abolished, we will persuade His Majesty to drive Keshi out of the palace. Wei Zhongxian is just a dog."

Yao Zongwen was curious when he heard this and asked:

"Do you guys have a good idea?"

Zhang Heming walked to Yao Zongwen and whispered:

"At present, we have mobilized all the Qingliu in Jiangnan, headed by Qian Qianyi to promote the cruel behavior of the factory guards. Now most of the students and gentry in Jiangnan have stood with us, and most of them support us in abolishing the factory guards, driving away Keshi, and killing Wei Zhongxian!"

"Now we are waiting for the joint blood letter from Jiangnan to enter the capital. At that time, we will personally enter the palace to present the joint blood letter to Your Majesty. We are explaining to Your Majesty the act of Wei Zhongxian's disaster to the country, and see if Wei Zhongxian dies!"

After hearing this, Yao Zongwen said with a smile on his face:

"These dukes are worthy of the important officials of the country, and this plan is very short."

Then he said viciously:

"When we drive Na Ke from the palace, we still have to send her to go with Wei Zhongxian, otherwise how can the Qingliu, who has been bleeding for this before, rest in peace?"

"Yes, Xu Xianchun, who doesn't want to be a good person, but wants to be a dog for the thief. The owner is dead, how can the dog not go with the owner?"

After saying that, the two of them laughed in the duty room.

Zhu Youxiao from the palace also burst into laughter after listening to Sun Yunhe's report.

It seems that my careful arrangements during this period have not been in vain.

Wei Zhongxian’s affairs were naturally fake news that he deliberately released. After all, Wei Zhongxian is a natural good pot, wouldn’t it be a waste if he doesn’t need it?

Unexpectedly, those civil servants were so easily trapped. The situation is completely in his own hands. Those civil servants are no different from blind and deaf people. How can they play with me?

Now I just need to release Wei Zhongxian and bite those civil servants, and sit firmly on Diaoyutai, and just take time to deal with other things.

He really doesn't want to waste time with those dog skin plasters full of benevolence, righteousness and morality. In his eyes, the civil servants are just moving warehouses. They just need to send someone to get it when they are short of money. The blame is also someone else. He just needs to wait for the money to be put into the warehouse.

"I understand. You have done a good job in this matter. You will still maintain it in the future. I must know at any time what the civil servants did and said every day. Wang's partner, take him to receive a thousand taels of silver rewards. You can share it with your subordinates."

"I thank Your Majesty!"

Tongzhou

A scholar in white was about to enter the city, but he saw a sensation at the notice at the gate of the city. He was curious and went up to take a look. He squeezed to the front row with difficulty and looked at the notice on the wall. He saw three eye-catching words "Zhao Xianling" above, and there were two questions below, namely:

"How can I calm down the slave troubles in Liaodong?"

"Why was the Ming Dynasty defeated in the Battle of Sarhu?"

And the following content is:

"Any talented person can enter Beijing and hand over the answers to the Beizhenfusi. Those who pass can enter the palace to meet the saint and receive the official title of Your Majesty!"

After seeing this scholar, his eyes shone, he looked in the direction of the capital, tightened his baggage, and made up his mind. He accelerated his pace and hurried into the city. He felt that his opportunity had come and went all the way to the direction of the capital.

A few years later, he was admired by all the military strategists of the Ming Dynasty and called him the white-clothed sage of Emperor Tianqi.
