Chapter 132 Reshuffle
(PS: There was an accident at home, so the update was late, and the number of words was a little less. Please forgive me. I have the cheek to ask for a monthly ticket to comfort the scarred and pure heart of Pure Wolf.)
Young Master Zhang lived a leisurely and comfortable life in North Korea. Apart from eating kimchi pork belly and drinking ginseng wine every day, the rest of the time was spent studying the difference between the body structure of North Korean women and that of middle-earth girls—— You know, for young master Zhang who loves human physiology science, this is a very diligent and motivated thing.On the contrary, Song Xiance, Young Master Zhang's restless master, was a little impatient, and kept agitating in Young Master Zhang's ear—just find an excuse to kill Mao Wenlong, take Pidao by himself, and use it as a base to conspire against Liaodong, North Korea, and do things like kings and overlords .But Young Master Zhang, who didn't want to make progress, refused straight away, "No, am I stupid? Phi Island is only a little big? Others have to provide food, grass and military salaries. If I set up a base here, how much can I develop?"

After idling for a few days, on March 21, news came from Daming Capital, announcing that Young Master Zhang led the Jinzhou Army, the honorable division that succeeded in attacking Shengjing, to return to Beijing by taking Haidao and accepting the imperial court's reward—of course, promulgating this law The edicts of Emperor Tianqi and Wei Zhongxian were based on the fact that Young Master Zhang was not in Shengjing. If the envoy who made the edict arrived in North Korea and did not see Young Master Zhang arrive in North Korea alive, then the edict would be invalidated, as if it had never existed. world.After receiving this imperial decree, Young Master Zhang, who was almost tired of eating kimchi, bid farewell to North Korean King Li Ji and Mao Wenlong, and set off from Pyongyang all the way south to Tanggukou, Tianjin on a sea boat provided by North Korea.

Before the fleet of Young Master Zhang entered the Bohai Sea, the messengers sent before had already arrived in the capital, and sent the memorial of Young Master Zhang's victory to the Forbidden City. The news of the pacification of the extravagant chaos also happened to be sent to the Forbidden City on this day.Double happiness came to the door, and naturally, the Forbidden City sounded long-lost firecrackers. Mingxi Zong Zhu Youxiao, who fell into the water accidentally on a sleigh during the winter and fell into the root of the disease, also struggled to get up from the hospital bed, and personally led the ceremonial supervisors and the imperial court. Civil and military officials walked to the Taimiao to worship their ancestors and report the good news to their ancestors.Kneeling in front of Zhu Yuanzhang's spirit tablet, Zhu Youxiao burst into tears and wailed loudly: "Grandpa Tai, the ancestors of the past generations, the emperor is lucky, the Anshe Rebellion in Guizhou has been put down! Dozens of scourges in Liaodong Years ago, Jiannu, who slaughtered millions of Ming people, was also severely injured! Blood debts are paid in blood, blood debts are paid in blood! Ancestors, I can already puff up my chest to see you——!"

After all, Zhu Youxiao knelt in front of the spirit tablet and kowtowed heavily, so excited that he burst into tears again, and the same was true for the supervisors of ceremonies and the civil and military officials kneeling behind Zhu Youxiao, who were so excited that they wept and wailed loudly cry.But the excitement is the excitement, whether it is Wei Zhongxian, Zhang Weixian or the dying Donglin Party officials, they all know very well that with these two great victories, the reshuffle of the various forces in the imperial court and in the local area is imminent—— The great victory here in Liaodong, the main heroes Gaodi and Zhang Haogu are both hard-core eunuchs; the main hero who put down the Anshe Rebellion, Zhang Heming, the governor of the five provinces, is the Donglin Party, and Qin Liangyu, the commander-in-chief of Shizhu whose husband died in the hands of the eunuch, is extremely hated The eunuchs, Zhu Xieyuan, governor of Sichuan, and Du Wenhuan, general soldier of Sichuan, are neutral factions.Regardless of whether it is the Eunuch Party, the Neutral Party, or the Donglin Party, whoever can seize the opportunity of rewarding meritorious service after these two great victories to expand their power will be able to completely defeat the enemy in the next party struggle, or turn defeat into victory.

"Preach the decree to announce the victory of Liaodong and Southwest to the capital, and I will reward them heavily!" As expected by all the officials, after the ancestor worship ceremony, Zhu Youxiao stood up wiping his tears, and immediately issued an order : "Zhongxian, take the Supervisor of Rituals to discuss with the officials of the court, and separate the heroes of these two great victories. I will reward them heavily and reward them!"

"Slave obeys the order." Wei Zhongxian respectfully agreed, and his heart burst into laughter - Ming Xizong asked him to preside over the discussion of meritorious deeds and rewards. Isn't this an opportunity for Wei Zhongxian to promote privately and attack dissidents?Besides, even if Wei Zhongxian wanted to promote his own people this time, he was confident. The Young Master Zhang whom he single-handedly promoted won him such a big face in Liaodong. Without thinking too much, he subconsciously determined Young Master Zhang as the number one hero of the two victories, and even considered what kind of official position to arrange for Young Master Zhang, so as to maximize the remaining value of Young Master Zhang.

Contrary to most of the joyous Wei Party officials, the Donglin Party officials and some anti-Wei officials who have long been taught Wei Zhongxian's power-gathering methods are calm on the surface, but they have already scolded their mothers in their stomachs—letting Wei Zhongxian preside over the meritorious deeds Reward, for meritorious Donglin party officials, Wei Zhongxian can turn them from meritorious to guilty!Among them, the most worried ones are the British Duke Zhang Weixian and the Chengguo Duke Zhu Chunchen who are loyal to the old Zhu family. These two heroes after Jingnan knew very well in their hearts that although Wei Zhongxian used to have power in the government, he has always been in the army. If they don't join hands, several Wei Party officials in the Ministry of War, such as Gao Di and his ilk, are all out of pockets, so there is nothing to worry about. Therefore, Zhang Weixian, Zhu Chunchen and others don't have to worry about Wei Zhongxian's real attempt to usurp the throne.But what Zhang Weixian, Zhu Chunchen and others didn't expect was that the new star of the eunuch party, Young Master Zhang, was not only capable of writing, but also so powerful in leading soldiers and fighting. , then once Wei Zhongxian launched a trouble, who else in the capital could stop Wei Zhongxian's act of usurping?
After stepping out of the Taimiao worriedly, taking the opportunity of leaving the palace, Zhang Weixian and Zhu Chunchen, who usually never communicate publicly in the capital, walked together intentionally or unintentionally. Zhu Chunchen whispered worriedly: "Mr. Zhang, this matter is a bit dangerous. Since the emperor was seriously ill, Wei Wei has inspected the three major camps of the capital twice. With Zhang Haogu’s contribution to breaking down the slave and puppet capital, Wei Wei can be said to be justified in promoting him as a minister or capital censor. If we take advantage of the opportunity to let Zhang Haogu, who is capable of fighting and fighting, also serve as the admiral of the Beijing camp, then we will be in trouble."

"What Cheng Guogong said is very true." Zhang Weixian replied in a low voice: "The Holy Majesty and Wei Yan have a deep relationship. When the Holy Majesty is around, Wei Yan may not have a different heart, but now the Holy Majesty is sick and has no heirs to succeed him. If suddenly One day the Holy Dragon Yu passed away, and Wei Xie had a different heart, so whoever owns the capital camp will have a bearing on the fate of the country." Having said this, Zhang Weixian gritted his teeth and said in a low voice: "Although Zhang is good There is still hope for Gu to be saved, but for the sake of Daming Jiangshan, we can only feel sorry for him this time - if Wei Xie really intends to make him the governor of the Beijing camp, we have to beat him down by whatever we say, and we can't let the three majors of the capital The camp fell into his hands."

"Can Mr. Zhang have a solution?" Zhu Chunchen asked in a low voice.Zhang Weixian smiled, and replied in a low voice: "Don't worry, just in case, I have prepared a way to deal with Zhang Haogu."

………………

Zhang Weixian and Zhu Chunchen really knew Wei Zhongxian better. After returning home and thinking about it, Wei Zhongxian almost subconsciously remembered to let Young Master Zhang be the admiral of the Beijing camp.For this crucial position that is basically monopolized by Xungui, Wei Zhongxian can be said to have been coveting for a long time, but he has never had a suitable candidate and a suitable excuse to install his own people-after all, the last one who broke the Xungui's children Yu Qian is the only one who monopolizes this position, and Yu Qian's credit is there. No matter who Wei Zhongxian puts in, he will inevitably be criticized by the government and the public, and even aroused the suspicion of Ming Xizong.But it’s different now. Master Zhang’s contribution to breaking the slave and puppet capital is no less than Yu Qian’s defense of Beijing. This official position has been vacant since the death of Zhu Chunchen’s father Zhu Yinghuai, and the three major battalions of the capital lack training and discipline. The fault is well known to everyone, it is absolutely reasonable and reasonable for Young Master Zhang to reorganize the three major battalions of the capital. No one can blame him, and it is absolutely reasonable and reasonable.

With this in mind, Wei Zhongxian will inevitably bring out his ideas to discuss with his confidants, and Wei Zhongxian's five tigers and five bullies all applaud when they hear this, and they all think that Wei Zhongxian's arrangement is simply too appropriate, allowing Young Master Zhang to control the three major camps of the capital , then inside and outside the capital, Wei party officials can walk sideways and climb upright.In particular, Cui Chengxiu, Young Master Zhang's staunch ally in the eunuch party, was full of applause, "Wonderful! This arrangement of Nine Thousand Years is simply too wonderful, allowing Zhang Haogu, who is loyal to Nine Thousand Years, to control the three major battalions of the capital. No matter what happens in the future, Nine Thousand Years and we will be as stable as Mount Tai."

"Really?" Wei Zhongxian was also very proud of his arrangement, and said with a smile, "Since none of you have any objections, then from tomorrow onwards, each of you will go to the table and guarantee that little monkey Zhang Haogu will be the admiral of the Beijing camp. Let the public opinion be created, and then our family will see whether to arrange for the little monkey to be the imperial censor or to serve as the six ministers."

"Nine thousand years old, please wait a moment." At this time, Young Master Zhang's only enemy in the eunuch party, who had just pushed out Gu Bingqian, and the new household secretary Feng Quan jumped out of course, and said to Wei Zhongxian in a dark voice: "Nine thousand years old!" Years old, Master Cui just said that Zhang Haogu is loyal to you, judging by his humble position, I am afraid that it may not be possible, let Zhang Haogu be the admiral of the Beijing camp, please think twice."

"Feng Quan!" Wei Zhongxian shouted unhappily: "Our family knows that you and Zhang Haogu are not on good terms, but you said that Zhang Haogu is not loyal to our family, and he casually framed him without evidence, isn't it too much?"

"Nine thousand years old, the humble official dare not frame it at will." Feng Quan was not afraid, and said in a more sinister tone: "The humble official only recently found out that the British public Zhang Weixian intended to betroth his young daughter Zhang Qingyun to Zhang Haogu, and Zhang Qingyun also Threatening in public that Zhang Haogu will not marry—based on this alone, I have to ask Nine Thousand Years to be careful."

"Zhang Weixian intends to promise his daughter to Zhang Haogu?" Wei Zhongxian paused for a moment, then laughed again and said, "Feng Quan, you are getting more and more confused as you get older. The Ming Dynasty prohibits intermarriage with the same surname. Officials who violate this law will be dismissed and sentenced." Li——unless Zhang Weixian doesn't want the salary left by his ancestors anymore, even if he has a hundred guts, he wouldn't dare to use beauty tricks to deal with our godson named Zhang."

"Nine thousand years old, you don't know..." Feng Quan whispered the reason behind Wei Zhongxian's ear.Wei Zhongxian's expression changed drastically, and he blurted out, "Really? Why doesn't even our Dongchang know about this?"

"Nine thousand years old, this incident was really too small back then. It was so small that even Dongchang didn't record it, and it was so long ago, so nine thousand years old didn't know about it." Feng Quanyin said with a smile: "The humble official was ordered by Nine Thousand Years to deliberately win over Zhang Weixian's relationship and spy on his movements. Only then did I inadvertently learn about this from Zhang Weixian's family."

"Zhang Weixian, our family was almost fooled by you." Wei Zhongxian's face was livid, and he snorted, "No wonder you let your daughter follow Zhang Haogu to the south of the Yangtze River. Our family thought you were pampering your daughter, but you had intentions Pull Zhang Haogu, which our family cultivated with our own hands, over there—it’s a good idea to plant a tree in our family for you to enjoy the shade!”

"Nine thousand years old, Zhang Haogu doesn't know what's going on, and it's still too late to make amends." Cui Chengxiu stood up with great loyalty, and said to Wei Zhongxian: "Nine thousand years old, talents are rare, Zhang Haogu has always treated you well. It's loyalty. For the matter of Zhang Weixian's daughter, the lowly position can be guaranteed by the head. Zhang Haogu didn't know what Mr. Feng said beforehand. According to the humble opinion of the lowly position, Jiu Qiansui abandoned the virtuous because of Zhang Haogu's accidental mistakes. It’s really a bit of a waste.” Speaking of this, Cui Chengxiu added, “Besides, Jiu Qiansui, you also know that the person Zhang Haogu most wants to marry is Xiong Tingbi’s daughter, Xiong Hu. As long as Jiu Qiansui controls Xiong Tingbi’s father and daughter, even if Zhang Weixian Using beauty tricks may not be able to shake Zhang Haogu's loyalty to Jiu Qiansui."

"Master Cui, you are taking these words for granted. Man, doesn't that one fall in love with beautiful women? Zhang Haogu has Xiong Tingbi's daughter, so don't you want Zhang Weixian's daughter again?" Feng Quan continued to add insult to injury.This time it was Cui Chengxiu who smiled, "Master Feng, why don't you admit that you are stupid? Don't you know that Zhang Haogu is the only child of ten generations in his family. The current Xiong Tingbi's daughter is very important to Zhang Haogu. It is a hundred times more important than Zhang Weixian's daughter."

"What do you mean?" Wei Zhongxian asked in surprise.Cui Chengxiu smiled, also attached to Wei Zhongxian's ear, and said in a low voice: "Nine thousand years old, this is the news that was sent just yesterday, Xiong Tingbi's daughter..."

"And this matter, it seems that our family doesn't have to worry about Zhang Haogu's loyalty." Wei Zhongxian smiled, pointed at Cui Chengxiu and said: "You are Zhang Haogu's good friend, and I will let you handle these two things." The first is to draw up an official document and find any excuse to call Xiong Tingbi’s family to the capital for use. The second is to meet Zhang Haogu’s ship in Tianjin and let him…….”

Feng Quan really deserves to be the internal response sent by Wei Zhongxian to Zhang Weixian's home. Wei Zhongxian, Cui Chengxiu and others discussed the official position arrangement of Young Master Zhang at home, and the content was sent to Zhang Weixian that night.Knowing Wei Zhongxian's arrangement and the situation behind the scenes, Zhang Weixian, who has a very good temper, was so depressed that he dropped a teacup on the spot, and secretly scolded Feng Quan for being an idiot, playing the trump card in advance without discussing with himself, wasting his carefully arranged tricks; The young master is shameless, and he hooked up with Xiong Tingbi's daughter early on, making his plan to use her daughter to control him to fail, and wasting all his hard work on him in the past.

"I can't help it. Is there really no way to prevent the three major battalions of the capital from falling into Wei Xie's hands?" After quickly calming down, Zhang Weixian began to think about the next step. After thinking about it, Zhang Weixian suddenly had an idea, "Since I can't prevent the three major battalions of the capital from falling into the hands of Wei Yan's party, why should I waste my efforts to stop them? Wei Wei intends to hand over the three major battalions of the capital to Zhang Haogu. Judging from various signs, Zhang Haogu That kid is not completely irretrievable, why didn't I try to win over that kid? If we can win him over, Wei Zhongxian will really dig his own grave if he recommends him as the Governor of the Beijing Camp."
