After hearing what Keshi said, Wei Zhongxian was so frightened that his face turned pale, his whole body was trembling, and he couldn't even speak.
"Husband and wife...ma'am, are you crazy? Do you really want our family to do something that will cost you a thousand knives?"
Ke Yinyue was so angry when she saw Wei Zhongxian's cowardice!
"Have you and I done too little to get me stabbed a thousand times? Not to mention who King Xin is from, if he knew about the things you and I did, would we still be able to survive? I am a woman, There is no killing knife. Are you Admiral Nanhaizi (Nanhaizi Jingjun), or a factory minister of Dongchang... Why can't you give it a try? If it succeeds, we can still welcome the Fu clan, and there will always be a happy ending . Even if it doesn’t work, it will end up like Liu Jin! I’m not afraid, so what are you afraid of?”
Just like Liu Jin... Wei Zhongxian was so anxious that beads of sweat covered his head and face after hearing this. He just shook his head repeatedly: "It won't happen, it won't happen...Long live the Lord today." He praised me in front of so many ministers, and even made Liangdong the Marquis of Dong'an."
Ke Yinyue just shook his head and was about to say something else when he heard someone coming from outside to report that Xu Yingyuan, the eunuch in charge of the palace, wanted to see the 9900-year-old and the holy lady.
Wei Zhongxian glanced at Madam Feng Sheng, who nodded and said to the confidant who came to inform: "Please come quickly!"
Xu Yingyuan and Wei Zhongxian have a very close relationship. They were gambling friends before they became rich. After Wei Zhongxian became prosperous, he did not forget this old friend and promoted him to the position of eunuch in charge of Prince Xin's palace.
Now that King Xin has been established as the national foundation, Wei Zhongxian certainly wants to use Xu Yingyuan to get to know King Xin... What kind of trick does this person have? Will he treat himself and Hakka as Liu Jin as soon as he comes on stage? So he sent his confidants to Xinwang Mansion to find Xu Yingyuan, hoping to invite him to visit Xian'an Palace.
Whether you are willing to come or not is a matter of attitude!
If King Xin had already sharpened his sword, Xu Yingyuan would definitely not come with his courage.
Now that we are here, probably... there is no danger for the time being.
"Old Xu, His Highness King Xin..." After a few words of greeting, Wei Zhongxian looked at Xu Yingyuan, who looked excited and proud, and turned the topic to Zhu Youjian.
Xu Yingyuan said with a smile: "Don't worry, King Xin still believes in me... After he returned home, he immediately found me, Lao Zhou, and Lao Shang, and asked us to assist him. He also promised to let me be his boss. Bi, let Lao Zhou be in charge of the Qing Palace, and let Lao Shang be the admiral of the Royal Horse Prison. Nine thousand nine hundred years old, do you think this can be arranged?"
There are many Bingbi eunuchs in the Si Lijian, and Wei Zhongxian, who holds the actual power of the Si Lijian, is the chief Bingbi eunuch. The nominal head of the Chief of Ceremonies is the eunuch of the palm print, the same Wang Tigan who dare not touch Queen Zhang and King Xin.
As for the status of the admiral eunuch of the Yuma Jian, it is similar to that of the Bingbi eunuch of the Si Li Jian. The big boss of the Yuma Jian is also called the palm eunuch. The current palm eunuch of the Yuma Jian is Wei Zhongxian's party member Tu Wenfu.
The Si Li Jian and the Yu Ma Jian are the two most important yamen in the inner court. Among them, the Si Li Jian holds the "power of approving the red", that is, according to the emperor's dictation, he gives instructions on the memorial with the cabinet vote. ....If you meet a "model worker emperor", the "right of approving red papers" of the Supervisor of Ceremonies will mean nothing. There is no need for the Supervisor of Ceremonies to approve red papers, the emperor will do it himself.
However, the emperors in the middle and late Ming Dynasty were not very industrious, so the head of the Bureau of Ceremonies was known as the internal minister and had great power.
In addition, Bingbi, the Chief Supervisor of the Supervisor of Ceremonies, is also the Admiral of the East Factory - this is incredible! Dongchang is a secret service agency. If you take control of Dongchang, you will be the factory boss that everyone fears.
Therefore, the eunuch Bingbi, the Supervisor of Ceremonies, plus the Admiral Dongchang, actually have greater power than the eunuch of the Palm Print eunuch, the Supervisor of Ceremonies.
In addition to controlling the powerful Yamen of Dongchang, Wei Zhongxian also held the Nanhaizi Jingjun - an eunuch army stationed in Nanhaizi within the Forbidden City.
Although the combat effectiveness of the Nanhai Zi Jing Army is very unreliable, it is an armed force of the inner court, which is no small matter!
What Zhu Youjian wanted to arrange for Xu Yingyuan was just a pen. There was no admiral of Dongchang and no part-time job of governor Nanhaizi. In fact, he didn't have much power.
As for the Royal Horse Supervisor and Admiral Eunuch arranged for Shang Fuming... This is a job that can get some military power. However, the imperial eunuch was the largest eunuch in charge, and there were several admiral eunuchs, so Shang Fuming could not get much real power.
There is also an assignment to manage the Qing Palace, which of course is for the new emperor's confidants. Otherwise, King Xin can still sleep after he ascends the throne?
"Okay," Wei Zhongxian smiled, "When King Xin ascends the throne, these three errands will be immediately freed up for you, Lao Zhou, and Lao Shang... Just our family and Mrs. Feng Sheng... ..."
Xu Yingyuan smiled and said: "King Xin knows that our Ming Dynasty cannot live without the support of our ministers, and you, Nine Thousand Nine Hundred Years Old, are the head of the ministers... After King Xin ascends the throne, of course he will have to rely on your Nine Thousand Nine Hundred Years Old. ." Then he said to Hakka, "As for Mrs. Fengsheng... you are my wet nurse after all. It is inconvenient for King Xin to keep you in the palace!"
Keshi also breathed a sigh of relief: "When the time comes, I will naturally leave the palace and live there."
"There's no need to be in such a hurry..." Xu Yingyuan said, "It doesn't hurt to stay a few more months."
Wei Zhongxian smiled and said: "Old Xu, do you think we can make arrangements for our family and Mrs. Fengsheng to kowtow to King Xin together?"
"Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry..." Xu Yingyuan waved his hand, "It's a matter of course, so be cautious."
Wei Zhongxian nodded: "That's right, Long Live Lord is only 23 years old after all..."
For him, Zhu Youxiao's recovery is better than anything else.
Xu Yingyuan looked at Wei Zhongxian and Hakka, and saw that both of them relaxed, and said to them: "Nine thousand nine hundred years old, Mrs. Feng Sheng... King Xin has become the foundation of the country and is about to ascend the throne. , you two will be the old men of the former dynasty by then, shouldn’t you, should you express this before King Xin ascends the throne?”
"express?"
"What does it mean?"
Xu Yingyuan smiled and said: "There is a large population in Prince Xin's Mansion, and expenses are very tight...Now that we have become the capital of the country, we must reward old friends. At nine thousand and nine hundred years old, this is an opportunity to show our loyalty!"
He actually wants money!
Wei Zhongxian and Hakka were both shocked. Zhu Youjian had a reputation as a virtuous king and was a virtuous king! Why does it cost money to become a national leader?
Are you trying to be a foolish king who is greedy for money and harms the country?
Wei Zhongxian hurriedly asked: "I wonder how much King Xin wants?"
Xu Yingyuan stretched out his hand and said, "Fifty thousand gold!"
Fifty thousand taels of gold!
Even more than two hundred thousand taels of silver is not a small amount, but to Wei Zhongxian and the Hakka family, it is not a big sum of money.
"Okay," Wei Zhongxian smiled, "I'll deliver it to Prince Xin's Mansion tomorrow."
"Don't send the letter to the palace," Xu Yingyuan waved his hand quickly, "Send it to my house... The King of Letters is still a wise king!"
Wei Zhongxian laughed: "Yes, yes, King Xin is a wise king, a wise king!"
Wei Zhongxian was relieved. He was afraid that King Xin didn't like money... This would be troublesome! Because since the Wanli Dynasty, collecting money from the inner court has become an important responsibility of eunuchs. The reason why Wei Zhongxian was favored, besides not being afraid of offending civil officials, was because he could collect money for Emperor Tianqi - not for the treasury, but for Emperor Tianqi's internal funds.
Now that King Xin also loves money, then Wei Zhongxian can continue to do his job! If you send millions of silver a year, you can keep your glory and wealth.
Xu Yingyuan completed what Zhu Youjian told him and went happily. Wei Zhongxian personally sent him out, and when he came back, he said to the Saint Lady: "Now you can feel at ease!"
Madam Feng Sheng breathed out, she felt uneasy... She was Tianqi's wet nurse, not King Xin's wet nurse!
Moreover, she was not needed for King Xin to make money. Maybe her life would not be saved if Queen Zhang complained.
"Don't worry," Wei Zhongxian said, "Long live the old love, as long as he says a word, King Xin will not touch you. And you are not a threat to King Xin, you are just a nurse of the late emperor. Well!"
Keshi sighed: "I won't be living in Beijing by then. I'll go back to my hometown and live my life...so that I won't be remembered!"
