Ming Dynasty man

Chapter 311
Li Jingjing nodded, then shook his head again: "It can't be considered completely empty. Regarding matters such as the national social ceremonies, the emperor still needs to come forward. Many things should be reported to the emperor, and they should be reported to the emperor. It's just that political affairs are not It needs to be dealt with by the emperor, I want the emperor to become a symbol of the country, a symbol of Ming Dynasty, and the emperor is still extremely respected in Daming."

"You want to be Cao Cao!" Wang Chengen said, staring at Li Jing.

Li Jing shook his head: "I don't want to be Cao Cao, and I will not let my son become Cao Pi. I can assure you that I will make a law to ensure that the position of emperor will be taken over by the descendants of the Zhu family. , his son will definitely become the next emperor of Ming Dynasty. If the emperor has no son, then the emperor's most direct nephew will take over. If there is no direct nephew, then let the emperor's daughter's child change the surname Zhu to take over."

Listening to Li Jing's resoluteness, Wang Chengen knew that Li Jing really didn't want to abolish the emperor Zhu Youjian.

But will Zhu Youjian agree to give up his power?

"Let me think about it!" Wang Chengen said.

"Wang Gonggong, you don't have much time to think. I might as well tell you that my subordinates are ready. If someone finds out after a long time, I can only attack by force. At that time, I can't guarantee the safety of the emperor." Li Jing answered.

Wang Chengen stared at Li Jing and said, "Are you threatening me?"

Li Jing smiled and waved his hands: "You say yes. But based on your understanding of me, you should see that what I said is the truth, and I am not threatening you."

When Wang Chengen heard the words, he let out a sigh of relief. After a while, he suddenly said, "If I let you into the city, what are you going to do with me? And those ministers, what are you going to do with them?"

Li Jingwen said with a smile: "Eunuch Wang, you are a capable person. I will assign you any position you think you are qualified for. If you want to serve the emperor, I will arrange you as the chief of the palace. In short, as long as You are not breaking the law, I promise you whatever you want to do!
As for the ministers in the DPRK, I will keep those who are capable, and those who are not capable, get the fuck out of me!I might as well tell you what those ministers in the DPRK have done, I know very well, then, you see how I deal with them! "

Li Jing said the words before with a smile, but the last sentence was full of murderous intent. Thinking of Li Jing's previous actions, Wang Chengen couldn't help but tremble when he heard it.

After a while, Wang Cheng'en said: "Tomorrow at the court meeting, the emperor will discuss with the ministers how to deal with the king of Tang's entry into Jingqin. Then I will take you into the Forbidden City."

Speaking of this, Wang Chengen stared into Li Jing's eyes and said: "If you don't restrain your subordinates, if the emperor has any troubles, even if I don't want this old life, I will fight with you!"

Li Jing nodded heavily: "Eunuch Wang, I thank you first on behalf of the people of Daming! Don't worry, I guarantee that no grass or tree in the palace will be damaged. In addition, you must protect the emperor when the time comes to prevent the emperor from doing anything. What an unexpected move. As long as the emperor is fine, there will be fewer accidents in Da Ming, and Da Ming will be revived a few years earlier."

Wang Chengen glared at Li Jing and said, "I only hope that you will keep your word!"

Li Jing smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm not those politicians who break their promises."

Wang Chengen nodded slightly, then suddenly pointed to the teacup and said, "Pour me a cup of tea. After today, I'm afraid I won't be able to drink the tea you poured."

Li Jing laughed loudly when he heard the words: "Brother Wang, I will definitely have less time in the future, but as long as you want to drink Li's tea, Li will be waiting for you at any time."

As he spoke, he poured a cup of tea for Wang Chengen.

Hearing Li Jing call himself Brother Wang, Wang Chengen felt warm in his heart, knowing that Li Jing regarded him as one of his own.

Wang Chengen didn't say much, picked up the teacup and drank it down, then hugged Li Jing and said: "Get ready, wait for my news tomorrow."

Li Jing hurriedly got up and gave Wang Chengen a deep salute.

Next to him, Ma Wu hurriedly said: "Brother, wait a moment, I will take Brother Wang downstairs."

Li Jing nodded slightly.

It's not that Li Jing didn't want to send Wang Chengen off, but that Wang Chengen's status was special, and he was too conspicuous in the capital. He had known Ma Wu for a long time, and many people in the capital knew it. They wouldn't be able to say anything when meeting Ma Wu, but if they saw him When you come into contact with strangers, rumors will inevitably spread.

Although there are not many people who know Li Jing in the capital, it's not that they don't know each other. If people see Li Jing in Beijing, there will be an uproar immediately.

In this very season, Li Jing naturally had to be careful, how could he show any flaws?

After sending Wang Chengen away, Ma Wu returned to the room, looked at Li Jing and said solemnly: "Brother, can Wang Chengen's words be trusted?"

Li Jing smiled and said, "From the bottom of my heart, I believe in Wang Chengen."

Seeing doubts on everyone's faces, Li Jing explained with a smile: "Wang Chengen is absolutely loyal to the emperor, but his loyalty is only to the emperor himself, not to Daming. For the safety of the emperor, he can disregard life and death, and he can completely disregard Daming's interests." Benefit."

"But what I heard from him is for Daming's sake. Why did the eldest brother say that he didn't care about Daming's interests?" Ma Wu asked puzzled.

Li Jing smiled and said: "Hehe, that's because the emperor thinks about Daming's interests. For people like Wang Chengen, he has to think about what the emperor thinks, otherwise the emperor will use him again? The trick of being a subordinate is You have to learn to figure out what you want, especially for an eunuch like Wang Chengen whose life and death are decided by the emperor with a single word, you need to always try to figure out what you want."

Speaking of which, Li Jing took a meaningful look at Ma Wu, Chen Erhu and Xiao Wu.

"Hey, big brother, don't look at me like this. I admit that I usually think about your thoughts when I have nothing to do, but I'm not trying to please you. I'm just trying to understand your intentions." Ma Wu said with a smile.

Li Jing waved his hands and smiled, "Fifth Brother, I'm not blaming you, don't misunderstand what I mean. You're doing the right thing. The purpose of thinking about your boss's mind is to understand his intentions, not for flattery, and you can't In order to do what they like, only such are the subordinates who really want to do things. Sigh! Those of us old brothers who dare to tell me the truth are getting less and less, fifth brother, you are really good! I am very pleased!"

"Brother, you gave my brother's life. Is there anything I can't tell you? At worst, you just take your brother's life back." Ma Wu said with a smile.

Hearing this, Li Jing glared at Ma Wu: "You're talking nonsense!"

Punching Ma Wu's chest hard, Li Jing said with a smile: "Your life is very precious now, and I can't bear to take your life. If you are gone, who will accompany me to drink during the New Year and holidays?"

Li Jing smiled and continued: "After decades of staying, we are all old. When the bull-headed horse-face sent us invitations, our brothers and I will go to Yan Wangye together. I guess Yan Wangye will see us calling If you go with the guy, you will be dumbfounded."

Speaking of this, Li Jing suddenly burst out laughing.

Although Li Jing was joking, Ma Wu was moved when he heard it.

After laughing for a while, Li Jing waved his hand and said seriously: "I'm not kidding anymore, there are still many things to do right now. Although Wang Chengen dare not betray me, who can guarantee that there will be no accidents? Therefore, we must be prepared to deal with it." ,in case."

Ma Wuzheng nodded emphatically: "I'll go and inform Zhuzi and Dingguo immediately. From now until tomorrow morning, everyone is not allowed to sleep, and everyone should stare at him."

Li Jing nodded slightly.

However, Ji Shijun's preparations were of no use after all. Li Jing's guess was correct, and Wang Chengen did not disclose the news of Li Jing's entry into Beijing.

It's not that Wang Chengen didn't want to take down Li Jing, but he didn't dare.

Wang Cheng'en was very clear about the fighting power of the Jishi Army. In the Datong battle, Cao Wenzhao wiped out more than [-] soldiers in the two battles, but his own death toll was only a few hundred. This is absolutely unimaginable in Daming.

Wang Chengen knew that Cao Wenzhao did not falsely report the number of people, because Li Jing attached great importance to the compensation for casualties, how dare Cao Wenzhao deceive Li Jing about this?

Although there are more than [-] troops in the capital of the Ming Dynasty, they are no longer as brave as they used to be. Especially after years of being pampered and neglected for training, they have already become old-fashioned soldiers. Compared with Hou Jin, Wang Chengen naturally has a heart There are many.

The Jishi Army killed 2 people in Houjin at the cost of hundreds of deaths. If they faced the troops in the capital, the capital might be completely wiped out, and there would be no loss to Li Jing.

And once Li Jing gets angry, it is likely to be unfavorable to Zhu Youjian. How dare Wang Chengen risk Zhu Youjian's life?

Therefore, after Wang Chengen returned to the palace, he thought about it again and again, but finally did not tell Zhu Youjian.

Early the next morning, before dawn, Wang Chengen found an excuse to leave the palace after serving Zhu Youjian to take a bath and change clothes.

The early Ming Dynasty was not as simple as it was shown in TV dramas. Because the ministers did not live in the Forbidden City, some lived farther away. Therefore, in the early dynasty, the ministers had to get up in the middle of the night and then cross half of the capital to go to the palace. Meridian Gate.

At Yinshi (5:[-] a.m.), the ministers must wait outside the Meridian Gate. When the drum on the Meridian Gate Tower rang, the ministers had to line up. When the bell rang at Maoshi ([-]:[-] a.m.), the palace gate opened. Hundreds of officials entered one by one, crossed the Jinshui Bridge and formed a team in the square, waiting for the emperor to arrive.

It was Mao time when Wang Chengen left the palace. At that time, the palace gate had just opened (it was too early), and the guards had already stood on both sides of the Jinshui Bridge to the Huangji Hall (that is, the Jinluan Hall, which was changed to the Hall of Supreme Harmony in the Qing Dynasty). Well, all the officials are lining up to cross the Jinshui Bridge.

Sitting in the sedan chair, Wang Chengen sneered when he saw all the officials going up to the court like dogs, and said in his heart: "Your good days are coming to an end soon. The emperor can't take care of you. Let's see how Li Jing will take care of you in a while."

Thinking of Li Jing's methods of dealing with those officials in Henan, Wang Chengen shuddered suddenly, wondering how many more heads would fall this time.

Naturally, Wang Chengen was unimpeded in the imperial city. After leaving the imperial city, Wang Chengen soon came to Xianghe Tower.

When Wang Chengen came to Xianghe Tower, Li Jing and Ma Wu were already standing at the door.

Seeing the solemn and murderous expressions of the soldiers behind Li Jing, Wang Chengen smiled wryly in his heart, knowing that if he didn't come again, Li Jing would order to storm the imperial city.
