Chapter 344: South/Beijing Garrison


When the officials in the Wei Mansion heard that Wei Zhongxian was coming, they were all shocked, and they were immediately furious, and they all spoke to Xu Wenjue.

"Grandpa, this Wei Zhongxian knocked on the door, it's really arrogant!"

"I really thought it was the Apocalypse, Grandpa, I won't see it, see what he can do!"

"That's right, just hang him, and then Ling Nan/Jing will not see him, see if he knows how to write the word shame!"

Xu Wenjue looked at a group of people coldly, where he didn't know their thoughts, so he naturally wouldn't be stupid to be the first bird.

Shen Se didn't move, and just as he was about to speak, a subordinate walked in quickly and whispered in his ear: "Grandpa, Wu Xiang has led his troops into Yang/Zhou Capital." ” Xu Wenjue's face changed, and without waiting for him to speak, the next person said: "There is news from the capital that Huang Liji wants to be the governor of Jiang/Su." ” Xu Wenjue's eyelids jumped, you must know that Daming does not have Jiang/Su as the political secretary, but not long after the emperor ascended the throne, he roughly drew Huai/Anfu, Feng/Yangfu, Zhen/Jiangfu, etc., and called them Jiang/Su.

In fact, it is still subordinate to Nan/Beijing, which has no practical significance, but with the governor, it is different, it is obviously to grab power and land!

In particular, Wu Xiang is stationed in Yang/Zhou Capital, which is at the junction with Yingtianfu, not far away!

A group of people all looked at Xu Wenjue, Xu Wenjue waved his hand and retreated from the person, still with a calm face and did not speak.

His Na Xixi looked at him, knowing that he was in trouble, and sighed and said, "Grandpa, since Wei Zhongxian is here, I'm afraid I can't see it, you might as well see it, see what he thinks, and then make plans." ” Everyone else looked at Xu Wenjue, waiting for his decision.

Xu Wenjue glanced at Xixi, his brows twisted unconsciously, and he had an extremely bad feeling in his heart.

After a long time, he said indifferently, "Let him come in." ” Wei Zhongxian walked in alone, carrying one hand on his back, turning the glass ball in his right hand, and his eyes swept over the group of people in the room.

Taining Hou, Zhenyuan Hou, Wu'an Hou......

They are all nobles and ministers of Nan/Beijing, noble and luxurious, and at this moment, they all look at him coldly.

Wei Zhongxian stood in the center of the hall, his expression was dark, he couldn't see his expression, he looked at Xu Wenjue, bowed slightly, and said with a smile: "Grandpa, this is the Hongmen banquet that is sung?"

” Xu Wenjue's expression was cold, his eyes were pressing, and he said, "Father-in-law Wei, I don't know what errand I have to come to Nan/Beijing?"

” The glass ball in Wei Zhongxian's hand rotated slowly, a smile appeared on his face, and he took it out with his left hand, and said with a few more letters in his hand, "Send a few letters to grandpa." ” Xu Wenjue's brows moved, and he gestured to Na Xixi.

Na Xixi stepped forward, took the letter, and handed it to Xu Wenjue.

Xu Wenjue didn't open it, just looking at the envelope, cold sweat broke out on his cheeks, and the whole person trembled.

These letters are all from Luo/Yangfu Wang, and he even personally entered Beijing for this purpose, and he knows exactly what is inside!

Is it the matter of the blessed king?

Or was the British public investigated?

What went wrong?

His heart was racing, his eyes were filled with fear, and his hand holding the envelope was trembling.

Wei Zhongxian stood motionless, looked at Xu Wenjue's appearance, and sneered slightly, "Wei Guogong, now, do you have time to go out with this miscellaneous family?"

” Xu Wenjue trembled, his eyes were bloodshot, his face twitched, and his voice trembled: "Father-in-law, where are you going?"

” Xu Wenjue's change of color made the surrounding nobles and ministers startled, and they stared at Wei Zhongxian.

Wei Zhongxian carried it with one hand on his back again, and said, "Grandpa, don't worry, just say a few words, and I'll come back tonight." ” Xu Wenjue was terrified in his heart, just holding these few letters, they were afraid that the Duke of Wei would cease to exist.

But he is also old and spicy, and he heard from Wei Zhongxian's words that there is still a trace of vitality, and he stood up and said: "Ying Tianfenghua, the Beijing master is incomparable, Wei Gonggong wants to see it, and this father-in-law naturally wants to take his father-in-law to appreciate it." ” The corners of Wei Zhongxian's mouth curled slightly, he hated these literati the most, and when he was dying, the stinky shelf was still sturdy.

"Grandpa, what is this?"

One stepped forward and asked with some caution.

The others also stared at Xu Wenjue with solemn expressions.

Wei Guogong garrisoned Nanjing, he was in a high position, and his every move involved people's hearts, not to mention that the person in front of him was still the notorious eunuch Wei Zhongxian!

Xu Wenjue's expression slowly calmed down, and he said in a slightly solemn tone: "You guys go back first, if there is anything, let's go back and talk about it." ” Na Xixi didn't speak, looking at the letter in Xu Wenjue's hand, his eyes flickered, and he was already thinking in his heart, how to escape from this Wei State Mansion.

Wei Zhongxian and Xu Wenjue walked out of the Wei Mansion side by side and walked slowly along the river.

Nan/Jing has a special status in the Ming Dynasty, not only with the capital, economy, culture, talents, especially light industry, winemaking, printing, silk weaving, entertainment, etc., are extremely prosperous, someone once said, the Ming Dynasty wealth Jiangnan has eight, Nan/Beijing accounts for seven, you can see how prosperous!

It is not the first time Wei Zhongxian has come to Nanjing, but it is the first time to watch it casually with such a relaxed attitude.

Xu Wenjue followed Wei Zhongxian's side, with a blank face, and behind them, a group of brocade guards stared at him vigilantly.

Xu Wenjue didn't see Wei Zhongxian speak for a long time, and couldn't help but speak: "Father-in-law, if you have anything to say, you might as well say it directly." ” Wei Zhongxian turned the glass beads in his hand, stood in front of a pavilion, looked at the river, and said, "Grandpa, do you know why the British Guild handed over the military power?"

” Xu Wenjue's eyes moved lightly, and he said, "What does my father-in-law mean, the emperor also wants me to hand over the military power?"

” Wei Zhongxian glanced at him and said, "Grandpa, the British Duke has guarded Gyeonggi for generations, and he has made outstanding achievements.

Wei State Mansion, is it a little worse?

” The Duke of Wei only began to garrison Nanjing/Beijing from the seventh generation, and naturally he was not as good as the British Duke who garrisoned Gyeonggi, however, Xu Wenjue knew that Wei Zhongxian was not talking about this, and he was a little anxious, and said: "Father-in-law might as well say bluntly, what does Xu need to do to save thousands of lives in my Wei Mansion." ” Wei Zhongxian stood there, like a benchmark, the glass ball in his hand turned slowly, there was a slight friction sound, and his tone was also indifferent: "The emperor wants you to unite the six departments of Nan/Beijing, there is no need for Nan/Beijing to exist, remove Nanzhili, and set up the Jiang/Subu Political Division." ” Xu Wenjue's face changed greatly, his eyes stared at Wei Zhongxian, his intuition felt that his temples were beating violently, his teeth were biting hard, and his face was twitching and painful, so he didn't lose his voice.

After a long time, he breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a somewhat pale face: "I should have thought of it a long time ago, when Jiang/Su was set up and the governor was sent, this is an obvious thing......"

Wei Zhongxian glanced at him lightly, and sneered in his heart, if it wasn't for the emperor himself to say it, who in the world would know that the emperor would abolish Nan/Jing and take this rich and incomparable Nan/Jing into his pocket.

Xu Wenjue muttered to himself for a while, and his face became more and more unsightly.

Wu Xiang's soldiers and horses entered the Yang/Zhou capital across the river from Yingtianfu, and Dongchang was eyeing it, and it was obvious that the imperial court had decided.

The most important thing is the letters in his hand, it is obvious that Dongchang did not just get it, so the emperor has not been hidden for so long, it is impossible to give him a chance to resist again.

Xu Wenjue's expression kept changing, countless thoughts were turning in his heart, and unconsciously, several letters in his hand were soaked.

After a while, he looked up at Wei Zhongxian, and said nervously: "Father-in-law, dare to ask me if the Duke of Wei still has a chance to live?"

” Wei Zhongxian turned around and said, "It depends on whether what Wei Guogong does can satisfy the emperor." ” Nan/Beijing is prosperous, humanistic jade, is the economic, cultural, and political center of the south of the Yangtze River, layer upon layer, involving twists and turns, no less than the capital, and may even be far greater than the capital!

A cold sweat broke out on Xu Wenjue's head, and he hesitated.

If he supports the removal of the capital and the establishment of a political secretary, I am afraid that countless people will grit their teeth and hate him to death.

Wei Zhongxian couldn't see his thoughts, a chill appeared on his face, and he said indifferently: "Wei Guogong, in this huge Nan/Beijing, you are not the only one who can choose from the miscellaneous family. ” Xu Wenjue trembled all over, came to his senses completely, gritted his teeth and said: "Father-in-law, don't worry, it won't take three days, I will be able to unite with Nan/Jing Xungui to write a book, as long as the will of the imperial court arrives, the Duke of Wei will definitely do its best to assist to stabilize Nan/Jing and not cause chaos!"

” Wei Zhongxian smiled and said, "Wei Guogong can do it, my Dongchang will help my grandfather do something." ” Xu Wenjue's scalp is numb, Wei Zhongxian is not a good person, he didn't know how many people were forced to die, he was worried in his heart, this Nanzhili, who had been peaceful for hundreds of years, was afraid that it was going to bleed.

The eunuch guarding the town 'acted on behalf of the Son of Heaven', and Wang Yongguang, the secretary of the South/Beijing Military Department, couldn't resist, so he easily handed over the military power to him.

On the same day, with the cooperation of Yin Zhou Weijing of Yingtianfu Mansion, the East Factory seized the South/Kyoto Procuratorate and Dali Temple, and then arrested the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Officials, which shocked the entire Yingtian in one fell swoop!

Many ministers and nobles in various parts of Nan/Beijing wanted to make trouble, and the eunuchs ordered a curfew, and once they had to close the city under martial law.

On the second day, Marquis Anyuan, Marquis of Ningyang, Duke Baoguo, Marquis of Lingbi, Bo Xincheng, and Cheng Anbo were imprisoned, and in the evening, Bo Xincheng and Cheng Anbo were convicted of disobedience, and their homes were raided and executed on the same day.

On the third day, Xu Wenjue, the Duke of Wei, united with the six departments of Nan/Beijing, and the eunuchs of the town guarded the play, saying, "The old calendar of Nanjing, you can't accompany it for a long time, please withdraw and change it." ’ The book entered Beijing, and the imperial study passed the edict to the Zhao Pavilion, and the order was played.

Inner Court, Imperial Garden.

Zhu Xu held the teacup, half lying on the swing, swaying, squinting and pretending to sleep.

It didn't take long for Fu Changzong and Zhou Yingqiu to come together.

Zhu Xu sat up, waved his hand at Cao Huachun and said, "Move a stool for the two adults, I'm going to talk for a while today." ” The weather is getting hotter, and the huge palace is a little cooler in this imperial garden.

Neither of them shirked, and after Fu Changzong sat down, he said with a somewhat excited expression: "Your Majesty, if it is Nan/Beijing Reform Province, the imperial court will have at least two million taels more taxes a year." ” Nanjing is an extremely complex place, the most prosperous, the most prosperous, but the least taxed, or even no tax.
