My father Zhu Gaoxu

Chapter 905 Hu Hui and Wang Zhen

"Father, is this the end of this matter?"

In the study of Hu Mansion in Beijing, a middle-aged man asked Hu Hui with an angry face.

This middle-aged man's name is Hu Changning. He is Hu Changning's eldest son. He serves in the Jinyi Guards. Now he has achieved the position of commanding the generals and has real power. This time when Hu Bin's official seal was lost, he also mobilized the Jinyi Guards. The force investigated, but in the end nothing was found.

"What can I do if I don't count? Someone is clearly trying to warn me this time, and I'm sure that the person who can steal the official seal from the Ministry of Household without a word is definitely someone from our Ministry of Household, so even if I find out , I will also end up with a reputation of being lax with my subordinates!"

Hu Xi analyzed it very calmly.

The fact that his official seal was stolen was indeed beyond his expectation. After all, no one expected that someone would use such despicable means to deal with him.

"Father, do you think Wang Zhen is behind this?"

Hu Changning suddenly made his words clear at this time.

The matter of Hu Hui losing his official seal has long been spread in the court. These people have everything they say, but everyone believes that the official seal will not escape on his own, and the person most likely to steal the official seal is, It was Wang Zhen, the powerful eunuch and eunuch in charge of etiquette in the palace.

"He is the palm seal eunuch and understands the importance of the official seal better than others, so what happened this time is actually obvious, but I don't have any evidence!"

Hu Xi also sighed at this time.

As soon as the official seal was lost, he guessed that the person behind it was probably Wang Zhen, but it was useless. After all, he didn't have any evidence, and he couldn't find the person who did it. He couldn't use suspicion to accuse Wang Zhen. How about vibration.

"I knew that after the eunuch Wang Zhen came to power, he has been suppressing our Jinyiwei and even installed eunuchs in Dongchang. Now Dongchang is under the control of eunuchs. It is a pity that all the hard work of the Crown Prince of Han fell into the hands of these eunuchs. , if the big man learns about this, I’m afraid he will also be very angry!”

Hu Changning slapped the table hard at the end.

From the beginning of its establishment, the Dongchang was used to contain the Jinyiwei. Now the Dongchang is controlled by the eunuchs in the palace, which is equivalent to the Jinyiwei being indirectly controlled by the eunuchs. Therefore, when Hu Changning wanted to do something, he also encountered great resistance. , which is why he doubted Wang Zhen.

"It's useless to say this now. Fortunately, His Majesty did not blame me this time and cast a new official seal for me, so this matter can only be forgotten!"

Hu Xi still said calmly, but Hu Changning, who was sitting next to him, knew that his father was by no means a person who swallowed his anger. He just suppressed this anger in his heart. If there was a chance in the future, he would definitely take revenge tenfold and a hundredfold. .

"Father, I always feel that this matter will not go away so easily. This may even be just the beginning!"

Hu Changning suddenly spoke again. As a Jinyiwei, he knew best that these conspiracies and tricks were not the purpose, but just a means to achieve a certain goal.

"Of course I know this, but the initiative lies in the hands of others, so we can only use it as a guide!"

Hu Hui's expression finally changed a little, and then he sighed.

Wang Zhen was deeply trusted by Zhu Qizhen and stayed in the palace for many years, so Hu Hui had no choice but to passively accept the opponent's moves. In the past, there was Empress Dowager Zhang who could suppress the opponent, but now Zhu Qizhen does not take sides. The stand is already pretty good.

Early the next morning, Hu Xi came to the cabinet to handle government affairs, because it was his turn to be on duty today, and the cabinet ministers were on duty in no particular order. They were on duty every day. This was also the rule set by Zhu Zhanhe to prevent the cabinet from being controlled by a certain minister. Give the emperor greater control over his cabinet.

Not long after Hu Xi arrived at the cabinet, he suddenly saw Wang Zhen walking in with his people. When he saw him, he immediately smiled and greeted him: "Hu Shangshu is busy?" "Eunuch Wang, why are you here in person? These memorials The review has not been completed yet, I will send someone to deliver it later!"

Hu Hui also smiled and replied at this time. Although he was almost certain that his official seal was stolen by someone sent by Wang Zhen, he could not show it on the surface. Instead, he had to pretend to be nonchalant, like someone who did not know the inside story. , maybe you will think that the relationship between the two of them is very good.

"Hu Shangshu misunderstood. I'm not here to pick up the memorial. I just want to talk to you about a few words!"

Wang Zhen said and winked at the people around him, and these people immediately retreated. Even some officials in the cabinet also retreated one after another. After all, they all knew Wang Zhen's power, and even the cabinet had no one. Dare to offend the other party.

"What do you want to say, Eunuch Wang?"

Hu Xi asked, still smiling.

"The Empress Dowager passed away, and His Majesty is also extremely grieved. Now he doesn't even have the heart to deal with government affairs. Therefore, many government affairs have to be taken care of by Hu Shangshu and your cabinet!"

I saw a smile on Wang Zhen's long face, and his words seemed to mean something.

"This is a matter within the scope of our cabinet. Your Majesty will be with you all year round. Please enlighten your Majesty so that your Majesty can cheer up as soon as possible. After all, many government affairs cannot survive without your Majesty!"

However, Hu Hui didn't seem to hear the hidden meaning of Wang Zhen's words, and just followed the other person's words and said again.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Hu, don't worry. Mr. Wang will persuade you. Speaking of which, the cabinet has a close relationship with our ceremonial supervisor. Many government affairs require cooperation from both of us. Please take care of us, Mr. Hu, in the future!"

When Wang Zhen saw Hu Hui pretending to be confused, he simply made it clear.

"This one……"

Hu Xi's heart also jumped. He had already guessed the other party's purpose from the moment Wang Zhen entered the door. It seemed that the other party was trying to get closer, but in fact he was giving him an ultimatum. If he didn't show his loyalty to Wang Zhen, he would lose his official seal. is likely to happen again.

"Your Majesty, you're welcome. We all serve His Majesty and we should obey His Majesty's arrangements in everything!"

Hu Xi finally spoke. Although he was a bit cunning, he still had a bottom line. After all, he was also a cabinet minister and the Minister of Household Affairs. Trying to make him bow to a eunuch was simply a fantasy!

"Good! Hu Shangshu is really a loyal minister of our Ming Dynasty. It is really a blessing of our Ming Dynasty that your Majesty has a minister like you to assist you!"

Wang Zhen's triangular eyes stared at Hu Hui, and he said with a smile.

"No matter where you are, it is my great blessing to have the king and father-in-law by your side to take care of you!"

Hu Xi also responded with a slight smile, but she didn't know whether he was speaking truthfully or ironically?

"Haha, Hu Shangshu, please be busy, Wang is leaving!"

Wang Zhen didn't get a satisfactory answer from Hu Hui, so he didn't bother to say more, turned around and left the cabinet.
