Chapter 161 Wei Zhongxian's Test
Zhou Yingqiu knew Zhu Xu very well, and knew that even the mighty Wei Zhongxian dared not provoke Zhu Xu.
He looked up at Zhu Xu and said cautiously: "Go back to Your Highness, Censor Ni, Wang Shaoqing is indeed a little unrest, but the officials can still live impeachably."
Zhu Xu sneered and said, "Can you really live impeachment?"
Zhou Yingqiu's face froze, she lowered her head slightly and stopped talking.
Zhu Xu looked at him, and the smile seemed to be there or not.
As Wei Zhongxian gained power, not only did the original "evil party" defect, but some Donglin parties and Qingliu also moved closer. Even a few people Zhu Xu accepted before, Ni Wenhuan, Wang Shaohui and Wei Zhongxian also had sex with each other, and their eyes were conveyed.
Zhu Xu raised his head and looked at Zhou Yingqiu with some condescending expression, and said in a cold tone: "There are not many people who have been swinging down by the king. They have promoted them not long ago. They feel that they have lived for a long time..."
Zhou Yingqiu heard a trace of murderous aura from Zhu Xu's voice and said hesitantly: "Your Highness, you can teach those two people a lesson for you."
“No need.”
Zhu Xu tapped the table with his fingers, his eyes cold. Wang Shaohui and Ni Wenhuan were the backbone of the eunuch party in history. One became the Minister of Personnel and the other became the Minister of War. As a prominent eunuch party member, it can be said that they both had "achieved great achievements". I don't know how many ministers were killed, how many families were confiscated, and how many tribes were destroyed.
Zhu Xu tapped the table with his fingers, and he had a certain aura of a superior. He took out a note from his arms and threw it over, and said indifferently, "Leave it to Wang Shaohui, let him be used as a copy and hand it over to Wei Zhongxian together. In addition... When you meet Wei Zhongxian, tell him that these two people will be transferred to Nan and Beijing for retirement. Without my permission, you will not be allowed to come back!"
Zhou Yingqiu suddenly knew that the two of them had been exiled, and he felt more and more respectful: "It's Your Highness."
After Zhu Xu knocked on him, he gave him a few more words and sent him away.
After Zhou Yingqiu left, Fu Changzong pushed the door from behind and walked out, shook his head slightly and said, "I'm afraid this Zhou Yingqiu is not stable."
Zhu Xu turned over another cup and poured water for Fu Changzong, and smiled and said, "Don't worry about him, let them do whatever they want."
Not only Cao Wenzhao and others couldn't understand Zhu Xu's recent series of actions, but Fu Changzong was also puzzled and sat down to look at Zhu Xu and said, "Xu'er, tell me honestly, what are you trying to do? In the court, you really don't care about it?"
"That's because I have a higher goal." Zhu Xu said with a teacup on his face.
Fu Changzong frowned and said in confusion: "A higher goal?"
Zhu Xu didn't explain and said simply and clearly: "During this period, Wei Zhongxian will let him do it. If he can't handle it, let's help this. Also, my gentleman will further isolate him and make him the only pillar of the Donglin Party and even Qingliu in the court!"
Fu Changzong became more and more puzzled and said, "Your copy is full of neutral Qingliu. If Wei Zhongxian continues like this, there will be only eunuch party and Yang Lian in the court. What is your purpose in doing this?"
"This is the effect I want," Zhu Xu smiled and said, "By the way, sir, the college probably has no time to take care of it. If you find an opportunity to come over, I will write some courses and we will train some talents seriously."
Yang Lian's academy is designed to cultivate administrative and military talents, which just meets his requirements.
Fu Changzong didn't know what Zhu Xu was thinking. Seeing that he refused to say anything, he didn't ask again, and nodded and said, "Okay, I'll look for an opportunity. He often wants to see me recently."
Zhu Xu nodded, and the topic shifted to business. This year they were well prepared, and the channels were expanding more and more, so the profit was very considerable. However, there were many problems, but Wei Zhongxian is now in power, and the entire Ming Dynasty is not calm. With his east wind, many things have gone a lot.
Things in the Ming Dynasty became more and more strange.
Less than a month after becoming the chief minister, Han Yu wrote to Zhu Youxiao, saying that "it is impossible to do, and it is useless to keep it." He wanted to resign and return to his hometown. When Zhu Xu received the news, Zhu Youxiao could not help but resign, and the second assistant Zhu Guozhen also wanted to resign, but Zhu Youxiao insisted that he take over as the chief minister.
Zhu Xu was reading a book in the study. Cao Huachun walked in and said with a strange expression, "Your Highness, Mr. Yang is here."
Zhu Xu was stunned, and then he closed the book and said, "Let's go, go to class."
Yang Lian's face became more and more ugly, and there was a kind of resentment on his face. He looked at Zhu Xu coming in, nodded slightly, then opened the book, regardless of Zhu Xu's salute, and said lightly: "I haven't come to class recently. Let's take the exam to see if Your Highness memorizes it well."
Zhu Xu looked at Yang Lian with a dissatisfied expression, stood up and said respectfully: "It's sir."
Then he started to memorize it like a first-rate person. This is not because Zhu Xu worked so hard. In fact, it was because Mr. Yang Lian, who missed classes for too long and had too much time.
After hearing this, Yang Lian waved his hand and said, "Okay, class is here."
He is talking about the Twenty-Four Histories. Yang Lian is not a good teacher. In addition to reading the scriptures according to the scriptures, he only slightly guided the scriptures and continued to read them.
Zhu Xu was in the palace and Wang Shaohui was already excited to come to Wei Zhongxian's private residence with the newly compiled "Donglin Dianzong Record".
Wei Zhongxian looked at the names above and was overjoyed, and said calmly: "Mr. Wang will record this book, it is very timely."
Wang Shaohui was relatively short, and even though he sat there, he seemed to be humble to Wei Zhongxian, with a flattering smile on his face, saying, "Grandpa thank you for your appreciation. As long as you can help your father-in-law, you will be extremely honored."
Wang Shaohui was talking while secretly looking at Wei Zhongxian. The reason why he wrote the book "Donglin Dianzong Record" was that he saw Wei Zhongxian's hatred for the Donglin Party, so he wrote it to his preferences. In his opinion, the "Empress" in the palace may not be able to help him much now. If he turned to Wei Zhongxian without knowing it, he might soon become a success.
Wei Zhongxian nodded and said, "Okay, there is a vacancy in the Ministry of Justice, I will keep it for Lord Wang."
Wang Shaohui had just been promoted to Shaoqing of Dali Temple. If he was promoted again, he would probably be a third-rank like the six ministers. He looked overjoyed and stood up and said, "I thank you for your cultivation. I have given you instructions and I will follow you all."
Wei Zhongxian stood up, with a smile on his cold and hard face, and said, "Okay, Lord Wang, please come back, wait for good news."
Wang Shaohui felt something was vaguely wrong, but after listening to Wei Zhongxian's words, he still said happily: "Thank you, the official, say goodbye."
Wang Shaohui turned around and left Wei Zhongxian's private house. As soon as he walked out of the lobby gate, a middle-aged man who looked like a businessman walked out on the side door.
