The thief of the fortress dominates the world

Chapter 329
I don't know how long it took, and finally there was another clear bell from behind the screen, and everyone present breathed a sigh of relief.

Wei Zhongxian glanced at everyone, his eyes finally fell on Xia Junze who was still kneeling there, and said with a gentle smile: "Lord Xia, get up. You are so loyal, the emperor will not blame you. You are still the Minister of the Ministry of War?" You have to keep going. As long as the emperor doesn't speak, no one will dare to take your life, and no one can take your life."

Xia Junze was silent for a while, then kowtowed three times to the screen and said loudly: "Chen Xia Junze thank Your Majesty for your innocence." Then he stood up and put the black hat on his head again.

"My lords, it seems that there is no result to be discussed today. Everyone is tired all day, please go back."

Wei Zhongxian glanced at the direction of the screen again and said to everyone.

"I'm waiting to leave!" A group of people kowtowed and retreated one by one.

First the seven ministers withdrew, and then the four eunuchs who were in charge of rituals.Then eight young eunuchs quickly came in from the outside, quietly and nimbly lifted the two long mahogany tables out, and the screen was also removed.

Sitting behind the screen, Emperor Ji Siyuan of the Ming Dynasty stood up, walked slowly to the door, looked at the distant sky outside, and suddenly said after a while, "Wei Zhongxian, do you think that Jiang Chuan is really a loyal minister?"

Wei Zhongxian, who was waiting behind the emperor like a shadow, twitched his eyebrows, and said calmly: "Master has a steelyard in his heart. Whoever the master says is a loyal minister is a loyal minister."

"Wei Zhongxian, you also play tricks on me. I order you to tell the truth, from your heart." The emperor turned and looked at Wei Zhongxian.

Wei Zhongxian's head lowered: "Master, what this servant said in front of the master is the truth. The servant feels that although Master Xia's words are reckless, they are also true and truthful. The servant feels that whether he is a loyal minister or a treacherous minister does not depend on what he said , but to see what he did."

This is tantamount to indirectly expressing one's attitude.

The emperor frowned, and murmured: "You don't care about your deeds, you don't care about your mind. That's a good point. I don't want to be the king of subjugation."

The voice of the last sentence was very low, and after he finished speaking, he suddenly fell silent, and walked around on the ground, as if he was struggling with something.

Wei Zhongxian remained motionless, standing in that corner like a sculpture, like the shadow of the emperor.

I don't know how long it took, and I don't know how many times the emperor walked back and forth on the ground for a long time, and finally stopped, turned around and looked at Wei Zhongxian, and said in a very decisive tone: "The decree, the title of Marquis of Wu'an, Liaonan The commander-in-chief, Jiang Chuan, was the King of Qin, and he was granted the right to open the government and build the yamen, and to control all affairs in Liaodong. Liaodong's civil and military affairs were all accepted by the Qin Wangfu, and it was enough to report to the court afterward. He was also given the title of Grand Master of the Prince of Jiangchuan, and Minister of the Ministry of War. With the prince."

"Another decree, on the day when the imperial decree arrives, order Liao King Jiang Chuan to lead his troops into Guanqin King, repel Li Ni, Datong, Shanhaiguan, all the soldiers and officials will be under the jurisdiction of Qin King. And specially bestow the emperor's sword, see the emperor's sword is like mine If you come here in person, if you meet someone who is disobedient and unfaithful, you can have the right to kill first and then report."

The emperor said two imperial decrees in one breath, and Wei Zhongxian wrote them down one by one.Hearing that the emperor had finally made up his mind to make Jiangchuan king and control Liaodong, he was really relieved.

Wei Zhongxian looked simple and honest, but in fact he was as smart as any minister in the court.Otherwise, he would not be able to step from among the [-] female eunuchs in the inner court step by step into the cabinet of the Inspector of Ceremonies, and become the eunuch in charge of the Inspector of Ceremonies, who is worthy of the name and the most trusted person of the emperor today.

He always knew what to do and what to say in front of the emperor.

He is also absolutely loyal to the emperor.

But being loyal to the emperor does not mean that he will not find a strong foreign aid for himself.Everyone knows the current situation. He watches countless battle reports flying in like snowflakes every day in the inner court. He is more aware of the corruption of the battle situation than outsiders.

Therefore, although the experience of passing the decree last time frightened him at the time, it also gave him the opportunity to be tied to Jiang Chuan, the most powerful faction today.

It can be said that he and Jiang Chuan are now in a relationship of both prosperity and loss.

The higher Jiang Chuan's status, the stronger his strength, the more stable his status as an inner minister.Therefore, this time when Jiang Chuan sent someone to send the imperial seal of the Qing emperor to the imperial court, he also told him through the people in the Black Ice Terrace: Marquis Wu An hoped that this would be the only way to be crowned king.

The other party left this sentence, so after thinking about it for a while, Wei Zhongxian took advantage of the opportunity when the emperor was scolding all the ministers to announce the good news to the emperor, holding the jade seal of the emperor of the Qing Dynasty.

All of a sudden, the emperor had great affection and hope for Jiang Chuan, so there was a court discussion.

In fact, before the court meeting, the emperor already had plans.He just wanted to say what he wanted to say through the mouth of the chief of ceremonies, to see how many people jumped out to oppose it.

The attitudes of Zhou Tingru, Liu Kongzhao, and Qian Qianyi are all expected, and the attitude of the first assistant Wen Tiren is not difficult to imagine.There are traces of what a person does.

The only one who surprised everyone was the newly promoted Minister of War Xia Junze.

Wei Zhongxian was very surprised by his directness and undisguised, but when he thought that Xia Junze's superior position was appointed by the emperor himself, he understood a little bit.

To some extent, what Xia Junze said was actually what the emperor himself wanted to say.

Therefore, Xia Junze's rebellious words in front of other emperors ended up being nothing in front of the current emperor.

Not having an attitude is an attitude in itself.

Wei Zhongxian secretly thanked himself for being careful, but at least he completed Jiang Chuan's confession, allowing him to successfully obtain the prince.

It's just that he suddenly realized something strange: Since ancient times, the title of king has been determined according to the location of the fief.Jiang Chuan is now in Liaodong, and he started his fortune from Liaodong. It can be said that everything in Jiangchuan is in Liaodong, but the emperor actually named him a king of Qin.

Qin Di is now Li Zicheng's headquarters, and the Xi'an Mansion where Qin Di is located has become the capital of Li Zicheng's Dashun Kingdom.

The meaning of conferring a king far away in Liaodong to the area where the enemy is located is obvious: the words of Zhou Tingru and others still have an effect in the emperor's heart, and the emperor is on guard against Jiang Chuan.

Thinking of this, Wei Zhongxian felt a chill run down his spine.He didn't know what Jiang Chuan would think when he received this edict.

It's just that he knows that he can't say any extra words at this time, because this is a suspicious emperor.

Wei Zhongxian restrained his thoughts, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty's orders have been written down one by one, and now I'm going to draw up the orders."

The emperor said: "Wait a minute. Let's draw up another decree. The cabinet minister Liu Kongzhao, as an important minister of the court, is in the face of the national crisis. He doesn't want to serve the country. Lovers are all guilty of it."

Wei Zhongxian shuddered, knowing that the emperor was finally going to attack the Donglin Party, he hurriedly said: "Your maid obeys the order."

　The second one arrives.Ask for a ticket before going to bed.
