Ming Dynasty Road

Chapter 59 Undercurrent
Imperial Palace Study Room

Chongzhen rubbed his somewhat sore shoulders, put the memorial in his hand on the table, and sighed softly, Wang Chengen, who was serving at the desk, quickly picked up a cup of fragrant tea and handed it to Chongzhen, and said softly: "Your Majesty, you I have reviewed the memorial for two hours, let's rest for a while, the dragon body is important."

"Hey, why don't I want to rest for a while? The thieves in Shanxi, Henan, and Hebei are becoming more rampant, and there are more and more victims of the disaster. All places are submitting memorials, urging me to give them disaster relief money." Chongzhen drank Kou Xiangcha, rubbed his somewhat numb head, and said helplessly.

"The old slave can't share the emperor's worries. It's really useless." Wang Chengen followed Chongzhen since he was a child, and he also had feelings for Chongzhen. Seeing Chongzhen's appearance, he felt uncomfortable.

"Let's not talk about this, how is the matter I arranged for you?" Chongzhen asked after turning around.

"Xiao Lizi has already reported it, but the old slave saw that you just reviewed the memorial, so I haven't had time to report it. His Majesty's rewards and residences for Zhao Yi have been properly arranged, as well as the servants and maids arranged for him." As soon as Wang Chengen heard Chongzhen's question, he knew that Chongzhen was asking about that matter. The relationship between Wang Chengen and Chongzhen was also a relationship between servant and friend, which is why Wang Chengen deeply used Chongzhen.

Chongzhen nodded, and asked if he had a deep meaning: "What do you think of Zhao Yi?"

Wang Chengen waved to the little eunuchs serving in the hall and said: "You go down first, we are here to take care of you." The little eunuchs saluted and slowly exited the imperial study, Wang Chengen then replied: "Your Majesty , the old slave thinks that Zhao Yi is a bit different, he is very casual, and he is very good at being a man."

Chongzhen nodded, and said: "I also think he is a bit different, a very interesting young man, I can't see greed in his eyes, such a person will feel more at ease."

"Your Majesty, I don't know if I should ask a question or not." Wang Chengen said hesitantly.

"What else can you and I not say, besides you, who else can I trust, hey." Chongzhen let out a helpless sigh, yes, above the court, there are people Chongzhen can really trust How much, Donglin one-party dictatorship, Wei Zhongxian staring at it, the whole Ming Dynasty exudes a rotten smell, who else can I trust, the emperor stands at the pinnacle of power, but who can understand the bitterness and helplessness in the emperor's heart.

"Your Majesty, does this old slave think that Zhao Yi's reward is a little too generous? If he is promoted to the commander of the Jinyiwei from a small household, it will be a step up to the sky. Wang Chengen expressed his doubts in one breath.

"I'm betting that the last commander went to Tianjin to be assassinated. Do you think it's a coincidence? Now half of the court is Donglin's party, and half is Wei Zhongxian's party members. I am very disturbed. What I fancy is Zhao Yiwu." There is no party faction, so I bet that Zhao Yi can bring me surprises, and he handled the affairs of the Manchu Qing very well, and gave Daming a chance to breathe. It is worthy of the reward I gave him, and I promoted him I mean, I want to balance the forces." Chongzhen's eyes shone brightly and decisively.

"Old slave understands." Wang Chengen nodded thoughtfully and replied.

Donghuamen East Police Factory

"Nine thousand years old, word came out in the palace that the boy surnamed Zhao was promoted to the commander of Jinyiwei. He really reached the sky in one step, and the emperor gave him a unicorn suit, and personally mentioned his house." Zeng Zhicheng Some jealous squealed.

"Oh? Commander of Jinyiwei? It seems that that person has noticed our movements and wants to use Zhao Yi to balance the situation, but the situation in Jinyiwei is very chaotic. Can he sit still?" Wei Zhongxian said slowly, as if answering Zeng Zhicheng , as if talking to himself.

Zeng Zhicheng couldn't figure out the situation, he didn't dare to talk casually, the room was terribly silent for a while, Wei Zhongxian said, "Tomorrow, I will send a congratulatory gift in the name of Dongchang to celebrate Zhao Yi's relocation and promotion. The gift should be more generous, don't make us Dongchang stingy."

Zeng Zhicheng asked a little puzzled: "Nine thousand years old, when did our Dongchang lower its head like Jin Yiwei? Wouldn't giving him a congratulatory gift destroy our Dongchang's prestige?"

"Huh? Are you questioning me?" Wei Zhongxian snorted coldly, and his momentum rose instantly.

Wei Zhongxian's cold snort scared Zeng Zhicheng to his knees and said tremblingly: "Young people don't dare to question nine thousand years old, young people don't dare."

Wei Zhongxian ignored Zeng Zhicheng, waved his hand and said, "Do as I say, go on, I'm tired."

"Yes." Zeng Zhicheng wiped the cold sweat off his brow, and dared not speak anymore.

Inside Wenyuan Pavilion
It was Zhou Yanru and Wen Tiren who were on duty in Wenyuan Pavilion today. They were sitting on the warm floor of Wenyuan Pavilion, holding a stove in their hands.

Zhou Yanru said softly: "Brother Wen, although you and I participated in the peace talks, the one who benefited the most is Zhao Yi. I wonder how Brother Wen thinks about this matter?"

There was a flash of light in Wen Tiren's eyes, and then he said nonchalantly: "What do you think about this? Duoduo was captured by Zhao Yi, and the peace talks were reached because Zhao Yi inflicted heavy damage on the Qing Dynasty. The emperor should reward him. Well? Do you have any opinion on this matter?"

Wen Tiren didn't answer any substantive words, but kicked the ball to Zhou Yanru. Zhou Yanru secretly scolded the old fox, and said without changing his face: "I just think this kid is promoted too fast. Does the emperor have any other reasons?" What do you mean?"

"Is it something you and I can figure out the meaning of the Holy One? But." Wen Tiren thought for a while, then lowered his voice and continued in a voice that only he and Zhou Yanru could hear: "You and I should know that person's temper best, Mr. Ban If you are like a tiger, it is not necessarily a good thing to improve quickly, you and I should see and talk about it."

Zhou Yanru listened to Wen Tiren's words, nodded and said: "Brother Wen's words are very true, then you and I can wait and see what happens."

Wen Tiren said: "However, Zhao Yi is that celebrity now, and our cabinet can't help but say that you and I will take the lead and send someone to send some congratulatory gifts tomorrow. It's our kindness."

"Okay, just do what Brother Wen said." Zhou Yanru nodded in response.

Town Hall

Jin Yiwei's governor Wang Ren'an had a fierce look in his eyes, and he said through gritted teeth: "This Wei Yangou, promise me to take the position of commander if I get rid of the commander, damn it."

When the previous commander went to Tianjin to do business, Wei Zhongxian sent someone to contact Wang Ren'an, and promised that if Wang Ren'an cooperated, he would help Wang Ren'an to take the position of Jinyiwei commander. Then he asked the detailed location and route of the commander, and sent a The Dongchang Fanzi carried out the assassination. Wang Ren'an thought that he was sure to be the commander, but he didn't expect Zhao Yi to be cheaper.

"Zhao Yi, you have spoiled my good deeds again and again, let's wait and see." Wang Ren'an said fiercely, his eyes full of murderous intent.

Zhao Mansion

"Sanggong, what's the matter with you? Is there something on your mind?" Zhao Yaoyao looked at Zhao Yi tenderly and asked softly.

"It's okay, ma'am, it's just that there are too many things to do recently, and I'm a little tired." Zhao Yi replied, afraid that Zhao Yaoyao would be worried.

Zhao Yi knew that he had been put on the chariot of power struggle by Chongzhen, but he had to accept that Beijing was like a maelstrom, with undercurrents everywhere.

Zhao Yi shook his head, shaking everything away, the soldiers came to cover up the water, why should he worry about things that didn't happen, after thinking about it, Zhao Yi and Zhao Yaoyao happily discussed the preparations for the New Year .

　Now the more I write, the less confident I am. Haha, continue to strive for a good state on a single player. Don’t be too entangled in the name. This is an overhead history. The name is just a code name. I hope everyone will support and tolerate it.
