Chapter 235 Eunuch Wei should be a hero
The Hakka family only has one son, and besides, her family relies on his younger brother to support everything in the Hakka family. If Ke Guangxian and Hou Guoxing are handed over, everything in the family will be ruined...
Hakka plopped down and knelt on the floor, kowtowing and said: "I beg Duke Liang, for the sake of past kindness, please save my Hakka..."
Chen Cao looked at Wei Zhongxian again: "Eunuch Wei, do you think we should save him?"
Wei Zhongxian was very embarrassed. Although he was a rival of the Hakka family, he was a eunuch and could not interact with others. As for whether he used his mouth...it's hard to say.
"This matter is entirely up to the government..."
"I heard that Wei Liangqing's entire family was slaughtered..."
Wei Zhongxian's eyes were distracted, and there were tears lingering in his cloudy eyes: "Hey..."
"Eunuch Wei, don't be anxious. There is still news that I haven't told you. It is said that the emperor has another order. He is to arrest all members of your Eunuch Wei family and bring them to the capital, and kill them all..."
Tears fell. Wei Zhongxian, the eunuch who had been in power for several years, cried loudly for the first time...
Chen Cao sat on the main seat opposite and watched Wei Zhongxian crying quietly. For some reason, Hakka also knelt on the ground and cried non-stop. More than an hour passed.
Wei Zhongxian choked up and said: "Please consider Liang Guogong, considering the past relationship, if you can save this slave's relatives..."
The title was also changed, and Wei Zhongxian also corrected his position in front of Chen Cao.
Chen Cao tapped his mouth as if thinking, then looked at Xin Zhao: "Where is Eunuch Wei's hometown?"
"In Suning County, North Zhili, it belongs to Hejian Prefecture..."
"The emperor's order was issued four days ago. If we set off from Penglai now, will we be able to make it in time?"
Zhao Xin was also thinking: "It takes four or five days to go from Penglai to Hejian Prefecture. The emperor was so angry that the order to arrest people must have been issued very quickly. His subordinates thought that there must be someone dedicated to arrest them. After we got there, there was not enough time." , it is very likely that it will come to nothing.”
Wei Zhongxian's heart went cold when he heard this. His relatives would never be allowed to be rescued at this time.
Chen Cao looked at this place and asked, "I wonder if Eunuch Wei has any relatives who are not in Hejian, or who are far away from Suning."
Wei Zhongxian was confused at this moment. He thought carefully for a long time before he suddenly realized: "Yes, yes... before the death of Emperor Daxing, my nephew was sent to Suzhou Mansion to monitor the tax collection of the Weaving Bureau, and he is still outside."
Chen Cao looked at Xin Zhao, and Xin Zhao held his hand: "My lord, what Eunuch Wei is talking about is Fu Yingxing of the Qianhu Family of Jinyiwei in Fusi, Beizhen. I heard that in the sixth year of the Apocalypse, someone from the Suzhou Weaving Bureau resisted taxes..."
"Yes, yes..." Wei Zhongxian nodded repeatedly: "That's it..."
"Oh, by the way, sir, a grandson of Eunuch Wei is doing maritime trade in Zhejiang, and he should not have been caught yet..."
Chen Cao stretched and stood up, walked around the cabin twice, and then looked at Wei Zhongxian seriously: "Eunuch Wei, although you are a eunuch, Chen thinks that Eunuch Wei can also be a hero of the world..."
What's the meaning?
Wei Zhongxian looked confused. In the past few years, his subordinates had built a shrine for him, some called him Nine Thousand Years Old, some flattered him and privately called him 'Emperor', and some even rushed to recognize their ancestors, but no one Call yourself a hero.
The reason is simple. He is an eunuch and a eunuch has no descendants. How can he become a hero?
Even if he is as strong as the Three Treasures Eunuch, it is because someone else has sailed to the West seven times, demonstrated the Ming Dynasty's military strength, and has experience in foreign wars. Even so, it is just a surname. Who would find trouble to call themselves a hero?
Chen Cao wanted to laugh when he saw Wei Zhongxian's confused look, but he didn't show any intention to show it: "The death of the late emperor was strange. I thought it was definitely a trap, or a conspiracy..."
"Yes, this slave thinks so too. The late emperor drank a few glasses of wine and fell into the water. After being treated by the imperial doctor, he was no longer seriously ill. However, since the late emperor drank the spiritual dew drink donated by Huo Weihua, his health deteriorated, and he died on the eighth day. ..."
"Well," Chen Cao nodded: "Eunuch Wei is a smart man. You have always taken care of the late emperor. I think you must know the matter. Besides, you also know that as long as the late emperor lives, your Eunuch Wei will be able to maintain his power." How long, so Chen thinks that you guys will not do such stupid things like digging your own grave..."
Hey, Chen Cao's words really touched Wei Zhongxian's heart. He only said these words to Gu Bingqian at that time. Zhu Youjian would not listen to his one-sided words.
Chen Cao waved all the extra people in the cabin to leave, leaving only Zhao Xin: "Madam Feng Sheng, I want to ask you, how many times did you have sex with the emperor after he took the spirit dew drink?"
Keshi blushed and hesitated to explain why, but Wei Zhongxian didn't care at all and said quickly: "In the past seven days, there were as many as two or three times a day."
"Um..."
Chen Cao let out a long sigh. It seemed that he guessed well: "The emperor must have been poisoned..."
When he said this, Wei Zhongxian suddenly felt unhappy and scolded Chen Cao several times. If you hadn't talked nonsense about our family's "family gratitude powder" and other bad medicine, things would not have gotten to this point...
"Do you know where Huo Weihua's elixir comes from?"
Wei Zhongxian thought: "The servant also asked, but he only said that it was the secret recipe Chen Zhengzhong, deputy director of the Taiyuan Hospital, got from Longhu Mountain. How could the servants in the Tianshi Mansion doubt it, so they just asked him to donate it. It's just that This servant really can’t believe that this guy is a bitch who eats both inside and outside..."
"Not necessarily..." Chen Cao shook his head: "Maybe Huo Weihua is also a victim, not necessarily..."
Chen Cao has already made a calculation in his mind. He feels that Wei Zhongxian's current lost dog is the most useful thing. He is very capable of doing things. He is in short supply of such a person at the moment.
"Eunuch Wei, after experiencing the moment of life and death, do you want to die or live?"
Who the hell wants to die...
If he had not had the right to speak under the general situation, Wei Zhongxian would have said something foul: "I want to live... I have been framed by others, but I still want to be innocent..."
"It's a good thing to want to live. If you want to live, Chen can make Eunuch Wei live a normal life in the future, and he can also make Eunuch Wei's relatives rich and noble. However, Eunuch Wei must be obedient in the future..."
Wei Zhongxian is a seasoned guy. When he heard this, he immediately knelt down to Chen Cao and kowtowed: "I will serve the Duke of the country with all my heart in the future, and I will never have any second thoughts..."
He didn't dare to have second thoughts. At this time, Wei Zhongxian was left with Chen Cao, a man who respected his troops but refused to obey orders. His only end was death.
"Okay," Chen Cao stretched out his hand to help Wei Zhongxian: "I still agree with Eunuch Wei's wishes. From now on, you will serve me wholeheartedly. I will ensure that you will be prosperous and wealthy in the future, and you can leave your name in history..."
Wei Zhongxian was excited. Only the Sanbao eunuchs could leave their names in history. If Chen Cao said this, he would definitely have something good for him in the future...
Wei Zhongxian knelt down again: "Don't worry, Lord, once you are given an order, I will definitely do it wholeheartedly..."
"Okay then..." Chen Mo looked at Zhao Xin: "Send someone to go to Suzhou with Eunuch Wei's letter and bring Fu Yingxing back. In addition, go to Zhejiang to find Eunuch Wei's descendants."
"Yes, I understand..."
After giving instructions to Zhao Xin, he took Wei Zhongxian down to write a letter, leaving Hakka and Chen Cao alone in the cabin.
Chen Cao sat upright on the main seat with a golden sword, and then looked at the guest kneeling in the cabin: "Ke Yingyue, the future of your son and brother is all in my hands. ..”
.
After Chen Cao's army returned to Shanghai, he arranged for Wei Zhongxian and the Hakka family to live in the Yamen instead of the mansion. After all, the Hakka family's status was not simple, and he did not want Li Xiang and Li Waner to come to him with swords and trouble. .
"My lord, Huang Taiji has withdrawn his troops..."
"Has Qin Liangyu arrived?"
Zhao Xin nodded: "Huang Taiji was not afraid of Qin Liangyu's white-armed infantry. It was just because Yuan Chonghuan's 30,000 Guan Ning army arrived. The two sides fought a battle outside Fucheng Gate. The slaves robbed too many gold and silver people. , the fighting strength was insufficient, so we withdrew our troops. This time Beizhili and Shandong were severely affected by the disaster, and we were afraid that they would not be able to recover for three to five years."
"What do you think the emperor will do with Yuan Chonghuan?"
Xin Zhao frowned: "It must have been ordered to kill him directly..."
"No," Chen Cao smiled and shook his head: "The emperor didn't deal with me, so how could he deal with Yuan Chonghuan? Yuan Chonghuan rushed thousands of miles to rescue the capital. This achievement cannot be erased, otherwise it will chill the hearts of the Liaodong frontier troops. Now the emperor in the court The only capable minister who can be trusted is Yuan Chonghuan;
Besides, the current civil servants in the court who are greedy for life and fear of death are unwilling to go to Liaodong. Wang Zhichen's ability is not enough to control the generals of Liaodong. He does not have the courage. "
"It's a pity that Xiong Tingbi..."
"Uncle..."
Han Shizhong walked into the yamen: "Master, Lao Song is back, and the fleet has arrived at the dock..."
Chen Cao stood up and straightened his clothes: "Zhao Xin, let me know, let's go and greet General Song..."
