Ming Dynasty fake eunuch

Chapter 192 Recommendations
Throughout the dynasties, there has been a group of people with the strongest strength, the most stubborn mind, and the most conservative group, which we can call the royalists.

Wanli's eldest son, Zhu Changluo, has never been favored by Wanli. As a prince, he can't enjoy the treatment that a prince should have at all. He lives in fear every day, not to mention how sad it is.

But such a person has received the support of almost all the courtiers. It has nothing to do with his ability or his mother's family background. It is just because of his status as the eldest son. This is a tradition passed down by the Han people for thousands of years. It's ingrained in everyone's heart.

Although the courtiers all support the prince, there is also a very real problem in front of him, that is, Wanli is still looking for opportunities for his third son Zhu Changxun so far.

Even Ye Xun himself thought that if he and Zhu Changxun had warmed up at that time, maybe Wanli would not have transferred him back from Liaodong.

Now that Wanli sent a crap Cui Wensheng to Liaodong, it might be that he didn't have the idea of ​​cultivating power for the third son of his family.

Just imagine, once Cui Wensheng controls the military power in Liaodong, he can transfer the Liaodong army to take control of Gyeonggi when Wanli is dying, and then make another trick to push Zhu Changxun to the position of emperor.

Although these are hypotheses, they are not impossible. The battle for succession has always been the cruelest and bloodiest.

And these are actually what Wanli wants Ye Xun to do most, because he knows that Cui Wensheng may not be able to complete this task, but unfortunately, Ye Xun also supports Zhu Changluo.

Now Zhang Weixian is taking the initiative to win over Ye Xun, the idea is the same as that of Wanli, Ye Xun is a eunuch, and he will return to the palace sooner or later, looking at Ye Xun's methods in Liaodong, it is not impossible for him to sit in the position of supervisor of rituals, And as long as Ye Xun can be pushed up, it can be regarded as finding the most reliable amulet for Zhu Changluo.

The world is bustling, all come for the benefit, and the world is bustling, all go for the benefit.

Once the new emperor succeeds in ascending the throne, the royalists like Zhang Weixian, of course, will be the new emperor's first ministers, and the benefits will be endless.

Now Ye Xun's answer can be said to basically satisfy Zhang Weixian. After talking for a while, both of them are a little tired, Zhang Weixian is tired of mouth, and Ye Xun is tired of heart.

He took out a paper roll from the grid next to the table and handed it to Ye Xun, saying: "The old man knows that you are not someone to depend on, and I happen to have a vacant house. You can go and see it in two days, and move in if you are satisfied."

After talking for a long time, this sentence was the only thing that was on Ye Xun's mind, and he was not polite at the moment. He took the deed and put it in his arms, and said with a smile: "It's a pleasure to talk to the Duke, and you all know what I'm thinking."

Zhang Weixian waved his hand and said, "Don't do this with the old man, hurry up! In case the old man regrets it later, this house will cost a lot of money."

Ye Xun smiled slightly, turned around and left after saluting, and then, under the guidance of the housekeeper, walked to the courtyard where he and his subordinates lived temporarily.

After watching Ye Xun leave, Zhang Weixian also left the study, turned left and right, and soon came to a flower hall, and there were already several old people waiting here.

Seeing Zhang Weixian came back, a thin old man said with displeasure, "It's just a eunuch, is it worthy of you, a duke of the state, to attach so much importance to it?"

If anyone knows this group of old people, they will be shocked, because all the people sitting here are noble relatives with titles, and although these people have been honored at home, they all have certain ties in the army. In terms of strength, most of the military commanders and commanders in various places in Ming Dynasty came from these people's sects.

After Zhang Weixian sat down, he took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and then said: "Brother Hou doesn't know something, I am confident that I am old-sighted, this person's ability is by no means inferior to that of Feng Bao back then."

After hearing Zhang Weixian's words, everyone frowned. Feng Bao was definitely a powerful figure in the early years of Wanli. If he knew how to restrain himself, he might not have died in Nanjing.

These people sitting here can say that they still know a little about the methods of the eunuch Feng Bao back then, so Zhang Weixian said that Ye Xun is comparable to Feng Bao, which immediately cheered everyone up.

At this time, a slightly fat old man said: "Brother Zhang, do you want to push him to the position of Supervisor of Rituals?"

Zhang Weixian shook his head and said: "He is still too young, His Majesty will not agree, but this old man has already thought of a place for him."

It turned out that Zhang Weixian really wanted Ye Xun to help him train the Fifth Army Battalion, but Ye Xun's words had completely dispelled his idea.

Obviously, with Ye Xun's means, if he was allowed to enter the Fifth Army Battalion, all the scandals in the Beijing Camp would be exposed, and no one would be able to end it by then.

Imperial Palace, Xinuang Pavilion.

After hearing Xu Xianchun's report, Wanli pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Understood, you can go! There is no need to keep an eye on him since the old man is here."

Xu Xianchun agreed, then bowed and retreated, and went all the way outside the palace, feeling the scorching sun at noon, but his heart was icy cold. He knew very well that he might have completely offended Ye Xun this time, shouldn't he? Think of a way to remedy it?

Xu Xianchun knows very well that there are no permanent enemies or permanent friends in the officialdom, it depends on how you use this relationship.

And from Wanli's attitude towards Ye Xun, Xu Xianchun knew that Ye Xun would definitely make a comeback one day.

Xu Xianchun left, and Wanli ordered the eunuch to tell Concubine Zheng that he would not go to her place today.

Because of Li Guang's matter, Concubine Zheng has been annoyed with Wanli, Wanli's temper has also come up, and she even disappeared.

After taking a nap for a while, Wanli came to the Imperial Garden for a walk, seemingly wandering aimlessly, but in fact he was also thinking about Ye Xun.

This kid is too restless, should I find something for him to do?How about sending him to Nanjing?

As soon as this idea came up, it was rejected by Wanli himself. The Liaodong side has not stopped. If Yuan Yingtai and Cui Wensheng can't do it, Ye Xun will have to go, so he can't be allowed to go too far.

Wanli just received a secret report from Cui Wensheng, saying that Yuan Yingtai did not support him in purging Ye Xun's subordinates, so he asked Wanli to give him greater rights.

Seeing this secret report, Wanli was so angry that he couldn't handle such a small matter, so he had the nerve to come to me?Let's just stay there honestly, and replace this trash when there is a suitable candidate.

When he was thinking wildly, the little eunuch came to report, and the British Duke Zhang Weixian asked to see him.

Hearing that it was Zhang Weixian who came, Wanli couldn't help being taken aback, but soon realized that he must have come for the matter of Ye Xun.

He came at the right time, so I can ask him what his plan was, why did he take Ye Xun in?So he ordered Zhang Weixian to go to the imperial study to see him.

Not long, before Wanli's buttocks warmed up, Zhang Weixian bowed in under the guidance of the servant.

"See Your Majesty!"

"Aiqing Pingshen, you came just in time, and I was about to send someone to find you, so tell me! What's going on with you and Ye Xun?"

Zhang Weixian said in his heart that Ye Xun is not a woman either, so what can I do with him?

He smiled apologetically and said: "Your Majesty, Ye Xun has made great contributions to the imperial court. If he is too neglected, it may chill the hearts of the soldiers on the front line! Therefore, the old minister has the courage to take him to the old minister's home first, so that he can report to the court in the future. Please forgive me."

What Zhang Weixian said was euphemistic, but the meaning was very clear, that is, Ye Xun has meritorious service, if the persecution is too much, let those soldiers in Liaodong know, who will be willing to work for your Zhu family?
Wanli naturally understood the meaning of Zhang Weixian's words, nodded and said, "Tell me why you came to see me!"

"The veteran feels that a meritorious minister like Ye Xun cannot be left out in the cold, so I think he is more suitable for a position."
