Chapter 246 Undercurrent (2)
The surname of Bo in Jingyuan was named Ji. During the Zhengtong period, he once fought in the southwest Luchuan. He was one of the three civil officials who were awarded the title for his military merits in the Ming Dynasty.
However, compared with the other two, Wang Yue, Wang Shouren, Wang, the new one, they are inevitably a bit distorted.
Although they won three southern expeditions, they never captured or killed the rebel leader Si Jifa. The situation in the southwest was repeatedly decayed.
He was accused by the censor of being a waste of money and causing trouble in the southwest to disrupt the whole world. During this period, he was even more corrupt and castrated. He used eunuchs to capture innocent local natives to offer prisoners. Wang Ji was about to be imprisoned and questioned, and was protected by the eunuchs at that time, and then he was relieved of the crime.
Later, he was sent to Yingtian, Jiangnan as a garrison. At the end of last year, he returned to the capital and was recommended. He was favored by Emperor Jing and was appointed as the garrison of Nangong, responsible for the care of the former emperor, Zhu Qizhen, now the Supreme Emperor.
However, Wang Ji, the Nangong Guard, hang out with Ruan Lang, and his words were a little humble, which seemed very strange.
"Okay, it's all my own people. Is it interesting to argue?" Eunuch Ruan's old voice sounded again, and it became muddy:
"Brother Wang, the past is gone, and the emperor has never blamed you. Now you have gained the trust of the person in the Golden Palace, guarding the Nangong, and covering up for the emperor very well. The emperor remembers this contribution.
Lord Yuan, don’t always worry about the past. Just do things for the emperor with your heart.”
"Yes, listen to my father-in-law." Yuan Bin replied, the old eunuch still had to give him face.
He and Ha Ming beside him were both from the Jinyiwei. During the Tumu Incident, they were both captured by Oirat, and then they arranged for them to serve Zhu Qizhen in person.
The monarch and ministers share the joys and sorrows on the grassland, and have deep feelings.
After returning to the capital, Yuan Bin and Ha Ming were both enthroned as the powerless Jinyiwei test households, and they ran for Zhu Qizhen openly and secretly.
Except for them, the people here are not satisfied with the current affairs and want to subvert Jingtai.
However, although everyone's goals are the same, their character is also different. Yuan Bin always doesn't like Wang Ji's and his body, and he will laugh at him when he gets the opportunity.
And every time at the end, Ruan Lang came out to smooth things over.
After hearing what Ruan Lang said, he knew his weight in the heart of the Supreme Emperor. Wang Ji was happy and asked for the credit:
"Eunuch Ruan, in order to win over the officials of various departments, I have given a lot of antiques, calligraphy and paintings this year, most of which were donated by me. I also asked my father-in-law and the emperor not to forget it."
"Bah!" Ha Ming, who had not spoken out, also looked down on Wang Ji's performance in everything he was fighting for success. After spitting out the tea tale, he also teased:
"What, Uncle Wang, are you going to ask the emperor for money and property?"
Ha Ming was a Mongolian man who naturalized the Central Plains and was proficient in the speech of the grassland and tribes of the Western Regions. He was an alternative existence in the Jinyiwei, and his things he did were more inclined to be the general translator.
Like Yuan Bin, he was deeply trusted because he served Zhu Qizhen’s north hunting and even had to give his surname Yang. However, he did not dare to make a name for him now, and he still took the name of Ha Ming as his name.
Wang Ji's face changed and he hurriedly looked at Ruan Lang with a pleasing look, "I have no intention, Eunuch Ruan, don't listen to them talking nonsense."
Yuan Bin couldn't help but whisper:
"Didn't these antique calligraphy and paintings be looted when Ying Tian was in garrison? I wonder how many families were destroyed and they spent more than half a tael of silver?"
Ruan Lang sighed, "Everyone, are we still talking about serious matters?"
Cao Jixiang also came out to fight, haha, "Sir, why bother to hurt the harmony for a little bit of trouble? Come and have a drink of tea to relieve the fire."
The three of them lost their voices.
Seeing the argument suppressed, Ruan Lang nodded, "Brother Wang, your calligraphy and paintings will not be given out for nothing. When the big thing is completed, it will definitely compensate you. Don't worry.
We are recruiting people, in addition to gold, silver and wealth, antiques, calligraphy and painting are even more indispensable. Since you have this expertise, you will have to worry more in the future."
Wang Ji was happy and said, "Eunuch Ruan, I will live up to my mission, so don't worry."
Yuan Bin sighed secretly, Wang Ji had an excuse to plunder calligraphy and paintings, and I don’t know how many people in the capital would be unlucky because of this.
"Okay, let's talk about the serious matter." The old eunuch Ruan Lang saw the messy things sorted out and finally could continue the topic. After coughing, he said:
"Last year, we followed the Queen Mother's orders and ambushed the man's son in Tai'an, hoping to cut off his bloodline and re-establish King Yi (son of the Supreme Emperor Zhu Qizhen, who was appointed King Yi by Emperor Jing) as the crown prince.
Unexpectedly, the success of the game was defeated, and a lot of people were broken into it, and they had to lie dormant and wait for another opportunity."
"That's right." Tong Yin continued, "not only that, this matter also gave the Hang family an excuse. The prince was young, frightened, weak and sickly, and could not resist being bumpy on the road, and he refused to return to Beijing for a long time, leaving us helpless."
When everyone here heard this, their faces were not very good. In the battle of Tai'an, they were wiped out by Emperor Jingtai afterwards. Although their muscles and bones were still there, they also damaged a lot of energy.
The Empress Hang family even took her son Zhu Jianji to stay in Tai'an and refused to return, making it difficult for them to use other strategies. You must know that the capital area is their territory.
The Hang family and his son did not return, and they were just dogs biting hedgehogs and had no idea where to go. The matter of re-establishing the King of Yi was stranded.
"In view of this," Tong Yin paused, "The Empress Dowager has made up her mind to ignore Tai'an anymore and directly remove the firewood from the cauldron. She asked us to contact the loyal people in the court to re-establish the emperor ascend the throne, and restore the world to a bright world.
Shi Heng is a man with a high position and power, and he is in charge of the regiment camp. If he gets help from him, great things will be expected.
Eunuch Cao, if you say a few words for him, you can not only change the real Dongchang Factory, but also help him to get into the water. What do you think of this business?"
Although Tong Yin was a silencer, he obviously had a good status among these people. After taking over Ruan Lang's words, no one had any objections. I don't know when he surrendered to Empress Dowager Sun, so he could take this attention.
"Mr. Tong said," Cao Jixiang nodded in agreement, "I should do this in person and prepare the beginning and end."
"Well," the old eunuch Ruan Lang nodded with satisfaction, "We cannot guarantee whether this matter can be done, but as long as we show our sincerity, I believe Lord Shi will abandon the darkness and turn to the light."
"Father-in-law," the little eunuch who stood beside Ruan Lang and had never made a sound suddenly interrupted, "The Emperor heard that the son of the old friend of Ola came to surrender, but he did not give him an order. We should do our best to make friends with him. It would be best if Eunuch Cao acted like this, wouldn't it go against the Emperor's original intention?"
"Hiss..." Ruan Lang gasped. There was something happened. The little eunuch didn't mention it, and he almost forgot.
