Chapter 61 The King of Letters, Zhu Youjian (2)
Chapter 61: King Xin Zhu Youjian (2)
"Because Xiaguan is an official of my Ming Dynasty, I can't watch the people under my rule be bullied! Xiaguan saw the domineering of the Wang family and the fear of the people for them as soon as he took office in She County. Even the people in the county government dared to be disrespectful to the Wang family, let alone ordinary people. People say they dared to be angry but did not dare to speak, but the people in She County dared to speak or be angry, and could only let the Wang family bully. Maybe they could bear it one year or two years, but after decades, they were afraid that the public anger would be the Wang family.
It was forced out, and it would be a great harm to the Ming Dynasty. In order to stabilize the people and the Ming Dynasty, Xiaguan had to find a way to remove the Wang family. This time they happened to hit him, so Xiaguan naturally could not miss this opportunity." Speaking of this, Tang Feng looked at Zhu Youjian and found that he was listening with his spirits. Then he continued: "But the Wang family is well-known and has many people in the court to help them. In order to completely remove them, Xiaguan naturally had to rely on the help of the adults in the court, and Eunuch Wei was one of them."
After thinking for a while, Zhu Youjian said, "What you said is reasonable. If the Wang family is really as you said, it is really a sin. But in this case, I am afraid that the lords in the court will be..."
Tang Feng was surprised that Zhu Youjian would say this openly and honestly when he first met him. However, he didn't know that Zhu Youjian was still very confident in his eyes when he looked at people, and he even heard from his words that he was also a person who was devoted to the public, so he had such a statement. Moreover, Zhu Youjian's current identity is not something that only Wei Zhongxian can provoke. After all, the eunuch party is still a weak person in the court, and Tang Feng is also a slight person, so he naturally cannot pass on this sentence. Therefore, Zhu Youjian doesn't need to avoid anything. Since the other party is
The prince was so blunt, so Tang Feng couldn't hide it anymore. Moreover, he knew that the other party would be the emperor in the future, so he could not let him determine that he was a member of the eunuch party, so Tang Feng said: "Your Majesty, the lower-ranking official should be in charge of his own affairs. Since he is the county magistrate of She County, he should naturally consider the people of She County. As for the situation in the court, it is not something that the lower-ranking official can grasp. Moreover, he will boldly say that those adults would protect the Wang family in this way, and they also regard Emperor Taizu's laws as nothing, and they will also suffer from personal morality!"
Yes, if what the Wang family did is true, then they are bullies in the Yumao village. Those so-called upright ministers in the court to cover up their actions are not considered honest. However, Zhu Youjian was not sure that Tang Feng's words were true, so he looked at him solemnly: "After that being said, how can I confirm that what you said is true?"
"Prince, the lower official only has a seventh-rank county magistrate. If it weren't for the fact that I was indignant for a moment and would not have come to Beijing to testify at the risk of offending countless adults in the court." At this point, Tang Feng looked at Zhu Youjian and saw that there was still doubt in his eyes. After thinking a little, he thought about his doubts. Since he had said this and in order not to be implicated in the future, Tang Feng decided to make everything clear, so he continued: "The lower official knows what the prince is concerned about, but the prince should know that with the identity of a villain, Wei Zhongxian would not like it at all. Therefore, the villain would never be the one he sent."
"I believe what you said, but..." Speaking of this, he looked at Tang Feng again: "I still have something unknown, so I want to ask you, the magistrate of Tang County. I met us in the restaurant today, but did you discuss it with Wei Zhongxian?"
Seeing Zhu Youjian staring at him for a moment, obviously trying to see if he was lying, but Tang Feng was not panicked at all and said lightly: "The prince didn't know that the prince and the emperor were in that restaurant, but they just met by chance. I think the prince must have suspected that there was a fraud in today's encounter. It was Eunuch Wei who asked the prince to sue the emperor, right?"
When Zhu Youjian saw Tang Feng so calmly, he raised his questions and began to believe Tang Feng's words: "It's good, it's good!" After saying it twice, he remembered something: "I wonder what plans are Tang County Magistrate has in the future? In my opinion, after this incident, you will become an enemy in the eyes of many ministers in the court."
Tang Feng smiled calmly: "Since he made up his mind to come to the capital as a proof, the Xiaguan has already made this preparation. In order for the people of She County to live a good life, it would be fine if the Xiaguan lost his post and dismissed his post. It made the prince worry."
Zhu Youjian looked at the young man in front of him and instinctively felt that he was a trustworthy person. He smiled and said, "Then I will find a way out for you. If you are seriously dismissed from the official position in the future, then come to the I-Ten Prince's Mansion to be an aide. Although the subordinates of the vassal kings will not be officials in the future, they can live their lives safely, and there is no need to be afraid that others will harm you."
Tang Feng felt excited. It was not because he knew that Zhu Youjian would become emperor in the future and that he would become a success after following him, but because he thought that he could still be grateful for his consideration as a prince. But then he thought about his promise to Wei Zhongxian before, so he said with shame: "Thank you for your respect, but the official has already agreed to Eunuch Wei. After the case is settled, he will serve in the capital." As soon as he finished speaking, he saw another suspicion in Zhu Youjian's eyes. Although Zhu Youjian was not the emperor, he still had a natural suspicion.
Tang Feng immediately guessed his thoughts and said hurriedly: "But the officials will not do that unethical things. If Eunuch Wei and the others really did something that harmed the country and the people, even if they fought their lives, the officials would deal with them to the end."
Looking deeply at Tang Feng's eyes, after a long time, Zhu Youjian showed a smile: "I believe you!"
When Tang Feng left Prince Xin's Mansion, he was still very puzzled. He didn't know why this famous suspicious person in history believed in himself because of one or two of his words. Although he still had doubts about this, he could only hope that this was true, otherwise he would have trouble in the future.
As she looked at Tang Feng's thoughts, she asked, "Young Master, do you think King Xin really believe your words? And are you really planning to stay in the capital and not go back to She County in the future?"
Tang Feng pondered for a moment before saying, "I think he believed it. His eyes looked at me were not as fake. And as the prince, he didn't have to deceive me. As for what you said about staying in the capital, I think I have no other choice. Apart from staying here, I can only go back to my hometown in Shanyin."
"Why is this?" asked.
"You also heard what King Xin said just now. This time I offended the Donglin Party members in the court because of the Wang family case. If I go back to She County, they will find some excuses to abandon me in a few days. If I just lose my job and dismissal from office, it would be fine. I'm afraid they will take my life. And it will also implicate Hui'er and others, so I can only choose to fight them to the end." After saying the last sentence, Tang Feng sighed with emotion. In fact, when he read history books in the past, he still admired the Donglin Party members who fought with the eunuch party, but now it seems that he has to be an enemy of them.
"If they really dare to be unfavorable to you, I will..." Another murderous aura flashed across the face of solving the problem.
Tang Feng was about to say something to him, but stopped again. He could see that he was completely considering him. If he said it again, he would be a little pretentious. But he still advised: "Don't always think about killing people. As long as I really voted for Wei Zhongxian's side, it would not be so easy for those people to deal with me." He could only respond with a reply.
When Tang Feng was in the palace of Prince Xin, Wei Zhongxian had already sent Tianqi back to the palace, and then used the excuse of leaving the palace to summon some of his confidants to the palace, and told those people what happened in the restaurant today.
In fact, early this morning, Wei Zhongxian encouraged him to go out of the palace on the excuse that Emperor Tianqi asked him to sell the furniture he had taken out for a good price, in order to let the emperor know about the Wang family case. After he had decided to use it in the restaurant, he cleverly treated some of the people he had arranged as the victims of the Wang family case for the emperor to see. Unexpectedly, he met Tang Feng, so he suddenly changed his strategy and used Tang Feng's words to tell the story of the case and the fact that the Donglin party members covered up the Wang family.
The result was exactly the same as he expected. The emperor was very angry and he also fulfilled his wish. When he thought about the situation that would happen later, Wei Zhongxian smiled and said. After hearing this, those eunuchs were also overjoyed and praised Wei Zhongxian for his profound strategy. In this way, they could completely defeat the Donglin Party.
"With the relatives of **star in the restaurant, they were so domineering, and after hearing Tang Feng's words, their status in the emperor's mind plummeted." Chengxiu laughed and said, "Dadlock, should we put some pressure on Hui Shiyang next and let him continue to investigate the case?"
Wei Zhongxian also narrowed his eyes and said, "The New Year will be in 20 days. To avoid the nights and dreams, this matter cannot be delayed until next year. Otherwise, it will be decided after the spring begins. Then according to your wishes, let the people from Dali Temple settle the case soon. If there is someone talking for the Wang family this time, we will have a good show."
Others said yes and began to plan how to move the case in the direction they wanted. At the same time, they were also speculating on the reflections that the Donglin Party would make after this incident.
The Wang family case finally had a new turning point...
