Chapter 5 Fame and fortune are in hand, of course you will die
Chapter 5: With fame and fortune in hand, of course I will fight to the death
Wei Zhongxian had strong control over the palace, and Li Yunze's summons to Luo Yangxing was quickly reported to him.
However, he never thought that the seemingly weak emperor was actually preparing to deal with him with swords and axes.
I just thought that Li Yunze was preparing to recruit Jin Yiwei.
Wei Zhongxian didn't care about this, it was a matter of course.
In his opinion, there were several rounds of friction surrounding the back-and-forth between Jinyiweide and the emperor.
"Tell Tian Ergen to keep an eye on the Luo family." Wei Zhongxian looked at the three beauties carefully selected in front of him and nodded with satisfaction, "Follow me to meet the emperor."
Wei Zhongxian started too quickly and belongs to the type of nouveau riche.
The Luo family can be called a century-old family among the Jinyiwei, with a very deep foundation.
If Emperor Tianqi was still there, Wei Zhongxian wouldn't mind dealing heavy blows to the Luo family.
But now, just pay more attention, and the main energy should be used to bribe the new emperor.
The emperor can also be bribed, that is, to do as he pleases.
Emperor Tianqi liked to be a carpenter, so Wei Zhongxian followed his hobby and specialized in delivering related things.
Emperor Tianqi valued his wet nurse Hakka, so Wei Zhongxian simply sacrificed his appearance and took the initiative to find Hakka as a rival.
Although Wei Zhongxian is an eunuch, he also works very hard for his career.
Now, Wei Zhongxian really doesn't know much about Li Yunze's preferences, so he is going to start with the simplest point.
Young Mu Ai, it is definitely right to send the beauty first.
Li Yunze was preparing to go to the modern world for a late-night snack. Before setting off, he learned that Wei Zhongxian was coming to see him in the evening.
Putting on the hand crossbow and putting down his long sleeves to cover it, Li Yunze called for Wei Zhongxian to come in.
"Wei Daban, what's wrong so late?"
Wei Zhongxian's old face smiled like a flower, and he rubbed his hands and stepped forward, "Your Majesty has been working hard for me all day and night, and I have specially selected a few maids to relieve Your Majesty's fatigue."
This was said very straightforwardly, and he understood it as soon as he heard it.
Li Yunze showed an angry smile, "There are so many things in Ming Dynasty, how can I have time to indulge in beauty?"
"Yes, yes." Wei Zhongxian responded, thinking that the emperor didn't like beauty, so it seemed that he would have to find another way next time.
Then he heard Li Yunze say, "For the sake of your filial piety, I won't do this again."
Wei Zhongxian ‘(￣_,￣)’
"Yes, this slave knows." Wei Zhongxian waved toward the door, "Come in."
Three beautiful girls in palace attire came in one after another and saluted.
‘Oh~~~’
Li Yunze has seen many beautiful girls, and there are all kinds of beautiful girls on the screen.
The combination of makeup and photography is truly as beautiful as a fairy.
But it was definitely the first time that three such beautiful and all-natural girls appeared in front of me.
She is fair-skinned and beautiful, with bright eyes and white teeth, and her every smile is heart-warming.
And unlike those who are the same on the screen, the three girls Chunlan Qiuju each have their own strengths.
What's more important is that the three beautiful girls are all obedient and will obey you in everything.
In the modern world, there are people who want to find well-behaved girls, but the prerequisite is that they have enough money.
I have to say that Wei Zhongxian is really capable of finding Li Yunze's weakness so quickly.
"My slave, please leave." Wei Zhongxian exited the palace with a wink and closed the door.
Li Yunze, who originally planned to have a late-night snack, felt even hungrier.
The eel will always be hungry, so there is no need to have a midnight snack now.
"Ahem."
Li Yunze, who had been hungry for a long time, raised his hand and said, "Come here and check your homework."
There was originally going to be an Umrah meeting early the next morning.
It's just that Li Yunze, who single-handedly took over the education responsibilities of several beautiful girls, obviously didn't have the energy to go to court.
Wei Zhongxian, who was very satisfied with this, proudly went to preside over the government affairs.
He felt that if he found the key to control Li Yunze, things would be simple in the future.
When it was three o'clock in the morning, Li Yunze, who felt his body was empty, yawned and got up to eat.
While eating, Wang Chengen, who was serving at the side, reported in a low voice, "Luo Yangxing has been waiting for a long time."
Li Yunze, who was in urgent need of protein supplements, was not in a hurry to see Luo Yangxing and asked him to continue waiting outside.
After finishing the meal, he invited Luo Yangxing to the imperial study room to meet him.
While sitting on a chair drinking tea, Li Yunze sighed softly as he recalled everything that happened last night.
"Wei Zhongxian is so filial that I feel embarrassed to kill him."
They say you should never hit someone with a smiling face, but Li Yunze was not hitting him here, he was planning to use Wei Zhongxian's head.
"I want to be a wise king and a person who saves the Ming Dynasty. I cannot indulge in pleasure."
Li Yunze, who was still in a state of idleness, encouraged himself and made up his mind that he must go back for a late-night snack tonight and could no longer engage in education work.
Luo Yangxing walked in quickly, saluted and expressed his sincerity directly, "Long live, I have selected a group of colleagues from the Jin Yiwei who are willing to die for long live."
Picking up the teacup and scraping the tea leaves with the lid of the bowl, Li Yunze asked, "Is it reliable? Do you dare to risk your life to do the job?"
"Absolutely reliable. They are all veterans who have been passed down from generation to generation in the Jinyiwei. And if they serve Long Live, they will not hesitate even to the death!"
Li Yunze smiled with satisfaction, "Very good, what did your father say?"
Luo Yangxing saluted respectfully, "The Luo family has been loyal to the Ming Dynasty for generations, and their loyalty can be seen day by day. To die in the service of Long Live, I, the Luo family, will go through fire and water without hesitation."
Li Yunze took out an imperial edict from the sleeves of his spacious robe, stood up, walked over and stuffed it into Luo Yangxing's hand.
"This is for the Jin Yiwei. Your father Luo Sigong will be reinstated as the commander of the Jin Yiwei. He will lead the Jin Yiwei to arrest Wei Zhongxian's gang members in the city. He will first get rid of Tian Ergen and take over the Jin Yiwei. As for you, sneak into the palace with your men and prepare an ambush around me.
Take action."
At this time, it's time to talk about the benefits. "After the matter is completed, I will appoint you as the commander of the Jinyiwei. After your father stabilizes the situation and retires, he will take over the position of commander."
Luo Yang was so excited that he couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear and kowtowed hard on the gold brick, "Thank you for your grace!"
It's not that Li Yunze has no brains. He just told Luo Yangxing about such an important matter.
He is not stupid, he knows the saying, "If a ruler is not secretive, his ministers will be lost; if a minister is not secretive, he will lose himself; if a few things are not secretive, it will cause harm."
The reason why I am willing to believe Luo Yangxing and his son is that we know from the information in the modern world that these father and son are not Wei Zhongxian's party members.
Moreover, the current situation is very clear. Wei Zhongxian, who has lost the support of the emperor, is already a grasshopper after autumn and cannot survive for a few days.
As long as the Luo family and his son didn't have a hole in their heads, they would definitely side with the emperor who had given them huge benefits.
Li Yunze saw the ambition in Luo Yangxing's eyes and wanted to regain the position of commander of the Jinyi Guards that had been passed down from his family. Working for the emperor now was the best opportunity.
When Luo Yangxing left, Li Yunze took out another imperial edict and handed it to Wang Chengen, "When Luo Yangxing's people come over, you can take this and take a group of royal guards to the Royal Horse Prison to serve as palm eunuchs and take command of the Warrior Battalion."
Anyone who dares to resist will be dealt with on the spot."
There are many nine-thousand-year-old party members, not to mention those from other places. Although there are many eunuchs in the court, Li Yunze looks down on these scholars at all.
The real threat is the Royal Horse Supervisor.
As you can tell from the name, the Royal Horse Guard is a horse breeder, and has a large number of horse farms in various places to raise a large number of various livestock.
There are four guards and one battalion under the command of Yumajian, namely Teng Xiang's left and right guards, Wu Xiang's left and right guards and the warrior camp.
Like other troops in the Beijing Camp, the ancestors of the Four Guards and One Battalion also made great achievements in battle.
But now, like other Beijing camps, it has long been abandoned.
Among the tens of thousands of men and horses, it is estimated that only a few thousand can actually be used to survive.
But no matter how desolate it is, it is still an army of 20,000 to 30,000 people on paper. If Wei Zhongxian really instigates it, it will undoubtedly be a military disaster.
Fortunately, like the Jin Yiwei, the soldiers and horses of the Royal Horse Guards all belong directly to the emperor, and it can basically be settled with an imperial edict.
The imperial edict of the Ming Dynasty emperor must have the seal of the cabinet to be truly universal.
If not, then it is the imperial edict and the emperor's own will.
Li Yunze used Zhongzhi to deal with Wei Zhongxian, and there was no problem in recruiting the Imperial Guards, Royal Horses, and Jian Dongchang, because these were all domestic slaves who directly belonged to the emperor.
He didn't want to spend a year or two to completely clean up the Wei Zhongxian Group. By that time, Huang Taiji had already broken through.
So we must hurry up and get rid of Wei Zhongxian who is fighting for power as soon as possible.
Matters handed down in the name of the emperor were handled very quickly.
After Luo Yangxing handed over the imperial edict to his father, he quickly returned to the Forbidden City with a group of carefully selected imperial guards.
Li Yunze led these royal guards into the room, uncovered a large piece of silk, and revealed a ton of 925 silver!
This ton of silver totals twenty-six thousand eight hundred taels.
Looking at Jin Yiwei, whose eyes turned red when he saw the silver, Li Yunze raised his hand and patted the silver brick with a smile, "After the work is completed, these are all rewards for you. In addition, each of you will be promoted to two levels. You will get fame and fortune."
Okay, are you willing to work for me?"
Li Yunze, who was born in the modern world, sees very clearly that everything he says is false, and only fame and fortune are real.
The Jin Yiwei who could follow Luo Yangxing here cannot be the governor of Qianhu Town or anything like that.
They are all little people, such as the general banner and the small banner, who are eager to stand out but have no chance.
Now that the emperor has fame and fortune in front of him, there is nothing to hesitate about.
"I am willing to die for Long Live!"
The voice is loud and full of energy.
Wang Chengen led a team of royal guards to the Royal Horse Prison to gather military power.
The remaining Jin Yiwei took the new sharp steel swords given to them by Li Yunze and lay in ambush, waiting for Wei Zhongxian's arrival.
As for the famous Dongchang, that was reserved for Cao Huachun.
After all, the name Dongchang Eunuch Cao is too resounding.
Outside the Forbidden City, Luo Sigong, holding the imperial edict, had already started taking action.
The Luo family has deep influence in Jinyiwei, which is far beyond the reach of a half-way monk like Tian Ergen.
When he summoned his old troops with an imperial edict and rushed into Beizhen Fusi, the gap in his background immediately became apparent.
"Luo Sigong!" Tian Ergen, who was thinking about what gift to give to Jiu Qiansui, saw Luo Sigong barging in with a large number of people and slammed the table, "You want to rebel!"
Luo Sigong, with an expressionless face, unfolded the imperial edict, "There is a decree! Long live the decree. Tian Ergeng is removed from the post of commander of the Jinyi Guards and will be immediately sent to prison pending investigation. Luo Sigong will take over the post of commander of the Jinyi Guards."
Tian Ergeng, whose expression changed drastically, could not accept it, "Impossible, absolutely impossible! You pretended to pass on the imperial edict and capture him!"
There were a large number of royal guards around, all looking at each other, but no one took action.
Luo Sigong strode forward, grabbed Tian Ergen's shoulders and threw him to the ground.
He lifted up his fish suit and turned around, sitting down on the main seat and "Sent him to prison!"
The Jinyi guards made a quick decision and all sided with Luo Sigong.
This is the heritage left by generations of people who have served as commanders of the Imperial Guard.
Of course, the Jin Yiwei also believed that Luo Sigong was not a lunatic. Falsely spreading the imperial edict would kill his whole family, and all nine tribes would sing "Thank you".
"I want to see Jiu Qian years old! Let me go~~~"
The scabbard was struck down, and Tian Ergeng, who was struggling and screaming, immediately stopped moving, and was quickly dragged away like a dead dog and sent to prison.
After drinking a cup of tea, Luo Sigong once again unfolded the imperial edict: "Wei Ni is Wudao. Xu Xianchun, Cui Chengxiu, Yang Huan, and Sun Yunhe are all sent to prison."
After reading the imperial edict, Luo Sigong said calmly, "Arrest him."
Now all the Jin Yiwei understood that the emperor was taking action against Jiu Qian Sui!
Now that the prestige of the Ming Emperor, which had been passed down for more than two hundred years, was still there, the imperial guards sent out a large number of troops without any hesitation, and their cavalry went out across the city to arrest Wei Zhongxian's accomplices.
In an era without mobile phones, Wei Zhongxian had no idea about the earth-shaking changes outside the Forbidden City.
He received the notice of the emperor's summons and was on his way to the imperial study in a hurry.
