Chapter 36: How can anyone go fishing without a helmet?
It's easy to get out of the capital, but it's extremely difficult to come back!
He and Dong Lin have been planning for many years, and seeing that their big plan is about to come true, they are not willing to leave easily.
Eunuch Liu actually had similar ideas to Zhu Youjian, but he was just a pawn in Wei Zhongxian's hands and did not know the inside story.
In fact, this imperial edict was really issued by Zhu Youxiao.
After all, they are close relatives, Zhu Youxiao still wants to give Zhu Youjian a last chance, and at the same time, he is putting pressure on King Xin and Donglin.
If Zhu Youjian chooses to leave Beijing and join the feudal clan, then the brothers can continue to do so.
If you choose to continue to follow Dong Lin and fool around, you don’t have to have a brother like this!
Although he was extremely reluctant, it is believed that Wang Zhu Youjian knew that if he did not accept this decree, it would most likely arouse Wei Zhongxian's murderous intention.
After receiving the imperial edict, Zhu Youjian lowered his posture and said humbly: "Eunuch Liu, please go back and report to the emperor. I don't want a fiefdom or be a vassal king. I just want to stay with the emperor and serve the emperor."
!”
"Believe in the king's wishes, our family will tell the emperor, so please take care of yourself."
After saying this, Eunuch Liu took the people away.
Zhu Youjian knelt and cried all the way, appearing weak, pitiful and helpless.
I have to say that Zhu Youjian's acting skills are really great. If you just look at the surface, outsiders can easily be fooled by his weakness and incompetence.
Wang Chengen made excuses all the way and gave Eunuch Liu a few heavy gold ingots, hoping to get close to him.
Because his hands were short, Eunuch Liu also treated Wang Chengen a bit lightly.
"Our family never expected that King Xin would be so sad about His Majesty asking him to leave the capital, but what can we do? The imperial edict has been issued, and it is difficult to disobey God's will!"
When Wang Chengen heard this, he smiled apologetically and said: "I understand, I'd like to trouble Eunuch Liu to convey my master's feelings for his brother to the emperor. Perhaps the emperor, thinking of his brother's feelings, will leave my master to serve him."
Eunuch Liu: "That's right. It is obvious to all that Your Majesty and Brother Xin Wang are respectful. Don't worry, I will truthfully report to Your Majesty King Xin's intention to serve the country."
"Thank you for your work, father-in-law. It's a good time for you, old man!"
Wang Cheng'en respectfully sent Liu Eunuch and others away, and his expression became solemn as soon as he turned around.
As a die-hard loyalist to King Xin, judging from the situation, Wang Chengen knew that it would be extremely detrimental to King Xin.
Once Emperor Tianqi has a misfortune and King Xin Zhu Youjian is not around, it's hard to say who will take the throne in the end.
After returning to the palace, Wang Chengen asked someone to close the door. When he came to the lobby, he found that Zhu Youjian was still crying there.
"My lord, please get up, Eunuch Liu and the others have gone far!"
When Zhu Youjian heard this, he stood up, shed tears, and said with a cold face: "Go and inform Mr. Lin and others about this matter. Wei Zhongxian is so anxious to transfer me out of the capital. He may have suspected me, and we must speed up the plan."
"Slave, I'll do it now."
Wang Chengen left in a hurry. The situation is ever-changing. The sooner you make preparations, the better your chances of winning.
…
Xiyuan.
Eunuch Liu did not return to Dongchang, but went directly to Xiyuan and found Wei Zhongxian who was fishing.
At this time, Wei Zhongxian was surrounded by many officials, but they were all far away from each other. They were not true confidants and could not get close at all.
Seeing Eunuch Liu arrive, Wei Zhongxian waved his hand to let his men go, and asked casually: "When King Xin received the order, were you happy or sad?"
Eunuch Liu changed his arrogant attitude in Prince Xin's palace and said humbly: "Reporting to Nine Thousand Years Old, when King Xin received the order, he burst into tears and was heartbroken. He said that he was reluctant to leave the emperor and did not want to leave the capital."
"Hmph~"
Wei Zhongxian snorted coldly and thought to himself: "You are really evil-minded!"
Then he said to Eunuch Liu: "Okay, you can go down!"
Not long after Eunuch Liu left, Tian Ergen arrived with a group of Dongchang fans.
Tian Ergen stepped forward alone and whispered in Wei Zhongxian's ear: "Forgive me, foster father, but there was an accident in what you told me. All the people I sent out were killed last night, and none of them came back."
"You can't handle even the smallest of things. It seems like you've been living too leisurely these days."
Wei Zhongxian spoke with dissatisfaction, he had indeed encountered a lot of troubles recently.
Tian Ergen said immediately: "Please give me another chance, my adoptive father. This time I will personally take action and prevent that person from seeing the sun tomorrow."
"never mind!"
Wei Zhongxian waved his hand: "There are more important things for you to do now, don't let me down again."
Looking at the calm lake in front of him, Wei Zhongxian felt that there was an undercurrent in it.
He almost fell here last time, and he must not make the same mistake again now.
…
Beizhen Fusi.
Jiang Fan walked out of the Yamen, followed by Shen Lian, Lu Jianxin, Pei Lun and Qinglong.
A group of five people found a stall selling wontons and sat down.
Jiang Fan said: "Boss, here are five bowls of chaos."
"Sir, please wait a moment. You'll be here soon. You'll be here soon."
Seeing the Feiyu suits worn by Jiang Fan and others, the diners in the surrounding seats immediately paid their bills and left. Ordinary people simply did not dare to sit with Jin Yiwei.
When the stall owner saw this, he secretly complained in his heart, but he did not dare to seek compensation from Jiang Fan and the others. Instead, he used his special skills to make the best chaos and served it carefully on the table.
The portion is double that of ordinary diners, which shows how sincere it is.
"Eat quickly, there are still many things to do in the afternoon."
Jiang Fan said hello, then picked up the chopsticks and started eating. The taste was quite good.
Shen Lian and others all had good appetites and quickly finished eating Chaos.
Jiang Fan asked: "Are you all full?"
"I'm full, thank you, sir."
Pei Lun chuckled, took out his cigarette pouch, and took a nice puff.
I just smoke a cigarette after a meal and feel as happy as a god.
Jiang Fan is usually quite generous to his subordinates, with clear rewards and punishments. As long as it doesn't interfere with his business, he doesn't mind his personal hobbies.
Qinglong, Shen Lian, and Lu Jianxin were relatively well-behaved, especially Lu Jianxin, who was the most reserved and didn't dare to go overboard at all. He ate Chaos at the same table as Jiang Fan and didn't dare to drink the soup.
"Boss pays."
Jiang Fan is ready to pay.
The boss looked frightened and waved his hands quickly: "It's a blessing for these gentlemen to come to the shop. How dare you ask for money from adults? This meal is just a small way of showing filial piety to all of you."
Jiang Fan took out a tael of silver and put it on the table: "Take it as you are told. I don't care what other Jin Yiwei does, but I usually pay for my meals. Any extra money will be considered as delaying your business."
compensation.”
"this……"
The boss didn't know whether to charge or not for a while.
Jiang Fan smiled, stood up and took the people away.
As the envoy of Jinyiwei Town, Jiang Fan's salary is still very high, and with the filial piety of the people below, he is not short of food money.
After leaving the stall, Jiang Fan asked: "Qinglong, where is Wei Zhongxian now?"
Qinglong was responsible for controlling the intelligence recently and immediately replied: "Back to your lord, Eunuch Wei should still be fishing in Xiyuan now."
"fishing?"
Jiang Fan asked with a smile: "Did he wear a helmet?"
"This, there shouldn't be one!"
Qinglong, Shen Lian and others were a little confused. It was just fishing and not fighting. Is it necessary to wear a helmet?
"There is no one who doesn't wear a helmet when fishing. It doesn't look professional."
Jiang Fan was wondering if he should go over and let Wei Zhongxian see the seriousness of fishing without a helmet?
In the afternoon, Jiang Fan brought Shen Lian and a dozen other Jinyi guards to Xiyuan.
From a distance, I could see many ministers from the DPRK and China standing on the shore with cautious words and deeds. There were also many people from Dongchang surrounding them blocking the road to prevent the assassins from approaching.
After all, there are many people who want to kill Wei Zhongxian these days. If there is a chance, Donglin or those pretentious "chivalrous men" will not mind taking Wei Zhongxian's head.
Wei Zhongxian's ability to survive to this day must be due to his certain abilities.
At this time, Wei Zhongxian was sitting on the Jiuqu Corridor fishing, with only a few close friends accompanying him.
The place where Wei Zhongxian chose to fish was not far from the location where the last treasure ship sank in the lake. You could see people from the East Factory salvaging the wreckage of the treasure ship on the lake.
As the saying goes, acting is all about acting. Even Wei Zhongxian and Zhu Youxiao knew that behind the treasure ship case was King Xin Zhu Youjian and people from Donglin, but they still had to put on a show in order to confuse their opponents.
