The servant walked in front to lead the way, and the little eunuch followed behind with his hands behind his back.
"Master, we've arrived." The servant shouted outside the door.
However, the little eunuch didn't wait and walked in directly.
When the servants saw it, they had no choice but to follow him and enter the house together.
"I don't know when my father-in-law is here, but Wang is not far away to welcome me." Wang Wenyan casually cupped his hands and remained seated.
When the little eunuch saw it, his face became even more ugly, and he said indifferently: "We are just a little eunuch who delivers letters, and we cannot afford to be called father-in-law by Mr. Wang."
Wang Wenyan could see the dissatisfaction of the young eunuch in front of him, but he didn't take it seriously. He smiled faintly and said, "I wonder what Mr. Wang brought to Wang?"
Wang An is the most powerful eunuch in the palace. The young eunuch dare not offend him, otherwise there may be more corpses thrown out of the palace than his. Moreover, he is also Wang An's godson, so for Wang An's explanation Don't dare mess around with things.
"Eunuch Wang asked our family to bring a message to Mr. Wang, saying that the affairs of the chief minister have aroused the dissatisfaction of the Holy Emperor, and we need to stop and calm down."
Wang Wenyan nodded slightly and asked, "Do you have anything else to say to your father-in-law?"
"No, that's all." The little eunuch said stiffly.
Wang Wenyan said: "Excuse me, please tell Eunuch Wang that Wang knows about it, but the arrow is on the string and has to be fired."
"Is there any more?" the little eunuch asked.
Wang Wenyan shook his head and said: "My father-in-law only needs to bring the words, and my father-in-law will naturally know what Wang means."
"snort!"
The little eunuch snorted coldly, turned around and left.
The servants of the Wang family hurriedly followed and sent the young eunuch away.
Wang Wenyan did not get up to see him off from beginning to end.
Behind the screen in the room, a person came out, and he said with a smile: "Mr. Wang has offended this father-in-law from the palace this time. If he had just given out a few taels of silver to reward him, he might still be able to reward him." Wang An, please have a kind word for Mr. Wang."
The person who spoke was none other than Liu Yi, the Minister of Rites and a scholar of Dongge University.
Originally, he was sitting in the room drinking tea with Wang Wenyan. When he heard the servant's notice that someone was coming from the palace, he hid behind the screen. Now that the little eunuch was gone, he walked out from behind the screen.
Wang Wenyan said coldly: "The reason why our Ming Dynasty cannot even defeat the tens of thousands of Tatars in Liaodong is because these people in the palace have deceived Shengting. If everyone is in full force, how can our Ming Dynasty be bullied by a small border tribe?"
Liu Yi stroked his beard and said: "Now Wang An can be regarded as our partner in the palace. With him in the palace, the news from the Holy Emperor can be sent back in time, which is also a good thing for us."
Wang Wenyan said: "Wang An is quite sensible. He knows that by cooperating with our Donglin Party, we can sweep away the ghosts and ghosts in the court, make the government prosperous, and restore the prosperous Ming Dynasty."
Since Guangzong ascended the throne, the Donglin Party resurrected. They stopped removing mining taxes, discussed taxes, and did not compete with the people for profits. These were all completed step by step under the promotion of the Donglin Party.
Several other parties in the DPRK have gradually declined. Even Fang Congzhe, the chief minister, has almost no guarantee of his position and has been forced to submit a letter to resign.
Liu Yi said: "Wang An just sent someone to deliver a letter. He doesn't want our people to continue impeaching the chief minister. What do you think of this?"
"The arrow has to be fired when it is on the string." Wang Wenyan said, "At this time, we have no choice but to stop. We can only let Chief Assistant Fang give up his position as Chief Assistant as soon as possible, and let you, Your Excellency, take over."
"It's not that simple." Liu Yiyi shook his head and said immediately, "Since Wang An sent someone to deliver the letter, it means that the Holy Emperor is extremely dissatisfied with the impeachment of the chief minister. If he continues to impeach, I am afraid it will be counterproductive."
Wang Wenyan smiled slightly and said: "Your Excellency, you are overly worried. Today's Holy Emperor is young and how can he have any opinions? As long as we continue to work hard to impeach, Fang Congzhe will give up his position as Chief Assistant sooner or later, and the Holy Emperor will not really blame him. As for Wang An There, the vision is a bit more short-sighted, and after all, it is not as good as Feng Bao back then."
"I think we are still a little anxious." Liu Yi said, "Brother Yu Chen is already persuading Fang Congzhe. As long as we wait patiently, Fang Congzhe will take the initiative to give up his position."
Wang Wenyan frowned and said: "At this point, if we stop, it will easily lead to counterattacks from other parties, which will also seriously damage our morale. Moreover, Sir, you may not have such a good chance to take over as the first assistant. "
"This..." Liu Yi hesitated.
He would naturally be willing to sit on the position of chief minister, but he did not want to cause the Holy Emperor's displeasure because of the impeachment, otherwise even if he became the chief minister, he would not be too comfortable in this position.
"Don't worry, sir." Wang Wenyan said, "I think the royal guards sent to Datong by the Holy One will be back soon. As long as the Holy One knows the news about Datong, I believe that the Holy One will take the initiative to ask Fang Congzhe to resign."
"I hope so!" Liu Yi stroked his beard.
………………
"Sir, we have arrived at Hejian Mansion. We can return to Beijing in a few days." The thin-faced Jin Yiwei said.
The Jinyiwei Baihu next to him breathed a sigh of relief.
Since I went to Lingqiu, I have been on tenterhooks all day long. Even after I left Lingqiu, I was still afraid of being discovered by the people from the Tiger-Character Banner, who would catch up and kill me. Fortunately, I arrived at Hejian Mansion safe and sound along the way.
When we arrived at Hejian Mansion, we had left Datong Mansion. Even if the people from the Tiger Character Flag noticed something, they wouldn't be able to catch up for a while.
The thin-faced Jin Yiwei said: "Sir, why don't you change into the clothes you are wearing as a refugee? They have been worn for so long and they already stink. Why don't you go to the inn to rest for the night and start your journey tomorrow?"
In order to avoid people thinking that they were Jin Yiwei, they didn't even dare to change their clothes on the way back from Lingqiu, and they didn't even dare to stay at the inn. It could be said that they slept in the open air.
"If you bear with me a little longer, it will be fine when we get to the capital." said the Jin Yiwei Baihu.
They hadn't changed clothes or taken a shower for many days in a row. The Jin Yiwei's bodies exuded a foul smell, and they were no different from real refugees.
"Here, divide the cakes, and then we can continue on our way."
The Jin Yiwei took out the dry biscuits he was carrying and gave them to the Jin Yiwei beside him to share with others.
The thin-faced Jinyiwei said: "Sir, we have arrived at Hejian Mansion. There is no need to be so cautious anymore. From what I see, Tiger Character Banner doesn't even know that we are Jinyiwei, otherwise he would have sent people to chase us."
A guard in Jinyi on the side agreed: "Yes, sir, on the way back, the brothers have been sleeping in the open air every day. It is better to go to the inn to rest for one night. It will not delay the journey much."
The Jinyiwei Baihu hesitated for a moment and said, "I'm not satisfied with you all. Ever since I came back from Lingqiu, my right eyelid has been twitching, and I always feel like something is going to happen."
The thin-faced Jin Yiwei said with a smile: "Your right eyelid is twitching, which indicates that you will get rich. When we return to Beijing and bring back the news about Lingqiu, the people above will definitely reward you with silver."
"Forget the silver reward, as long as I can do my job safely, I'll be satisfied." Jinyiwei Baihu said in a deep voice.
At this time, the ground shook slightly, and the sound of horse hooves came to the ears of several Jin Yiwei. From the sound, they seemed to be running in their direction.
