Summary of the previous chapter: Wang Wenyan was sent to prison, and Ma Xiaoquan promptly spent money to smoothen the relationship...
Although Zhu Youxiao does not go to the court, he will still intervene in the affairs of the court. The pinnacle,...
The first assistant resigned, but Wei Zhongxian did not dare to suppress it. After reporting the situation to the emperor, Zhu Youxiao immediately rejected Ye Xianggao's resignation.
After being "pulled" back by the emperor, Ye Xianggao immediately raised the issue of Wang Wenyan being imprisoned in Zhao Prison. Upon hearing this, Zhu Youxiao impatiently issued an order to release Wang Wenyan.
That's right, Wang Wenyan was released with just one order.
Let go...
Let go...
Seeing Wang Wenyan striding out of the prison, Wei Zhongxian was simply furious. He had worked hard for so long, and after running down for more than half a month, his legs were already thin. Not to mention killing Wang Wenyan, he just wanted to mess with it. His hair was probably not done either; not to mention, the previous order to impeach Ma Xiaoquan also had results today. In short, nothing was accomplished in one sentence, and all the efforts were in vain.
Infuriating, so infuriating.
...
But...then again, Wei Zhongxian can bear it. Since he didn't win this time, it doesn't mean he won't win next time. He can be comforted by the plump comfort of Yinyue after being cheered by the losers. Next, Wei Zhongxian was relieved...
Temporary.
...
Since the attack on Wang Wenyan and Ma Xiaoquan failed, Wei Zhongxian vented his anger on Liu Qiao. However, due to Liu Qiao's identity, Wei Zhongxian wanted to try to win over Liu Qiao first, so he sent Xu Xianchun to meet with Liu Qiao.
Xu Xianchun was born in a martial arts school. His education was not high and he was very proud of himself. He was arrogant and arrogant. He became Wei Zhongxian's loyal lackey and did not take Liu Qiao seriously.
Liu Qiao originally thought that he should betray Wei Zhongxian to save face, but Xu Xianchun didn't respect him. Liu Qiao was so angry that he fell out with Xu Xianchun.
After Xu Xianchun returned, he immediately reported Liu Qiao's uncooperative and exaggerated remarks to Wei Zhongxian. Wei Zhongxian didn't know that Xu Xianchun had messed up the matter. Without saying a word, he immediately worked on the relationship between the parties and dismissed Liu Qiao, the commander of the town's Fusi. the position of envoy.
Ma Xiaoquan did not expect Wei Zhongxian's energy to be so great. He originally thought that Wang Wenyan was rescued and it was over. Unexpectedly, within a few days, news came that the commander of the Zhenfu Division had been replaced, and the person who replaced Liu Qiao was the one who replaced Liu Qiao. It is Xu Xianchun, Wei Zhongxian's loyal lackey.
Ma Xiaoquan was filled with regret. If the data device inside his body hadn't broken down, he would have known about it in advance. Although he couldn't destroy history, he at least knew about it in advance to prepare himself.
...
As soon as Xu Xianchun came to power, he immediately launched a large-scale purge of the Zhenfu Division. Unfortunately... several secret agents sent by Ma Xiaoquan were purged by Xu Xianchun.
Everyone is a royal guard, but they are divided into three: Tian Ergen is on the other side, Xu Xianchun is on the other side, and Ma Xiaoquan is on the other side.
On the surface, there was nothing wrong with the three parties' harmony, but in fact, Xu Xianchun had secretly colluded with Tian Ergeng.
In this way, the three parties in power in Jinyiwei actually became two parties, Tian Ergeng and Xu Xianchun were from one party, and Ma Xiaoquan was from one party.
It's just that... Ma Xiaoquan's power was greatly weakened after Xu Xianchun came to power and colluded with Tian Ergen.
On the other hand, after discussing with all the scoundrels, Wei Zhongxian decided to continue to "expand" his eunuch team.
After so many things, Wei Zhongxian finally understood where he was weak.
The two fights against Wang Wenyan were actually intended to fight against the Donglin Party, but they failed at the critical moment. This was not due to another problem, but because his power was not big enough or strong enough.
It also happened that Ma Xiaoquan was away in the past two years, so Wei Zhongxian unscrupulously took the opportunity to deploy and develop his own party members.
On the surface, the Donglin Party still had the upper hand in the court. When everyone met, they had to talk loudly. Regardless of whether it was right or wrong, they just had to shout the slogan "The Ming Dynasty will definitely be fine." But in fact, Wei Zhongxian
The eunuch party under its leadership has taken control of most of the power institutions.
...
Ma's house, in the study room.
Ma Xiaoquan squinted his eyes, frowned deeply after reading the information in his hand.
Li Qinghan stood next to Ma Xiaoquan. Seeing him frown, he took the information from his hand and read it over.
"I didn't expect that Wei Zhongxian would already be so rampant after you left for just over two years."
Ma Xiaoquan smiled bitterly and shook his head. In fact, he didn't want to leave at the beginning, but if he didn't leave, he wouldn't be able to get a lot of money. Without a lot of money, the future transfer plan of the Ma family would not be implemented.
"Hey" Ma Xiaoquan sighed, "In fact, even if I am here, I'm afraid I can't do anything. History is history and I can't stop it, so it was a good thing that I left in the first place." Ma Xiaoquan comforted himself.
Li Qinghan smiled and shook his head: "It's this time, thank you for being so relieved."
"Otherwise, why would you be crying in despair?"
Li Qinghan sighed and said: "Hey, Jin Yiwei has now become a subordinate of the eunuch party. Ma Xiaoquan, as a deacon, I think you have some empty rights."
Ma Xiaoquan grunted and said: "It doesn't matter. It's not the soldiers who are many, but their talents. The people who stay with me, Ma Xiaoquan, are all first-class masters. To be honest, if I let these people out, Tian
Ergeng and Xu Xianchun may not dare to move."
Li Qinghan said: "That's true, but now among the six ministries, only the Donglin Party controls the star, and the other five ministries are all eunuchs. Ma Xiaoquan, what are you going to do?"
Li Qinghan used to ask questions to Ma Xiaoquan first, and then put forward some of his own views and opinions. Although he was a woman, his intelligence was not inferior to that of a man.
Ma Xiaoquan smiled and said: "Wait!"
"Wait?" Li Qinghan was stunned, not understanding what Ma Xiaoquan meant.
Ma Xiaoquan explained: "Qinghan, do you know why Wei Zhongxian rose so quickly? How did he do it?"
Li Qinghan narrowed his eyes slightly and shook his head.
"It's very simple, because he makes it clear that whenever someone takes refuge in him, he will either give money or officials. For example, Xu Xianchun, that guy is a big, old and rough guy, and he can actually become the commander of the Town and Fu Division. Tell me, if you are
Xu Xianchun, what reason do you have for not working for Wei Zhongxian?"
Li Qinghan nodded: "Yes, Wei Zhongxian is really good at it, but where does his money come from?"
Ma Xiaoquan smiled and said: "I have to tell you this. After Wei Zhongxian swallowed up the Zhang family's property, part of it did go into the national treasury, but most of it was swallowed by him himself. Of course, our Ma family also
After making some profit from it, Wei Zhongxian was afraid that I would tell anyone, so he took the initiative to transfer most, well, almost all of Zhang Tianhao's property to me..."
