Chapter 10: Father-in-law Zhou Kui (1)
A hateful person must have pitifulness. This sentence is right. When a peerless hero reaches the end of his journey, everyone will always feel a little pitiful when he hates him. The evil Zihe does is naturally not as good as a hero, but the truth is the same. After hearing Zihe's cry, Zhu Yinglong and Xiong Hu can't raise the heart of hating Zihe. A weak woman, under powerful power, and threats of her parents and brothers' lives, had to make such a choice. After all, people are selfish. No one will sacrifice all their relatives for a person they don't know at the beginning. If so, this person is either a great hero who sacrifices himself for justice or a completely cold-blooded animal.
The sympathy of women sometimes flooded and even the city walls could not be stopped. After hearing Zihe's story, Xiong Hu directly took Zihe over. Now Wei Zhongxian must have known that Zihe's identity has been exposed and has no use value. He probably will definitely kill her and her family to silence him. Therefore, it is imperative to eliminate the spies in the royal palace, otherwise he will have no secrets.
The excuse to clear these people is easy to find, but Wei Zhongxian helped him find them. If it weren't for the secret spies assigned by Wei Zhongxian in the mansion, the incident of him playing with Xiong Hu and Yuanyang in the water would not have spread throughout the three palaces and six members the next day. Then the whole city of Beijing knew about it. Except for the people in the palace who spread the matter, no one would know about it. So Wang Chengen lets all these people go out of the mansion. Except for the five beautiful girls who had to stay, all the reliable people in the palace arranged secretly by Zhou Huaian were replaced.
Wei Zhongxian's actions were really fast. Li Yongzhen had just sent a letter to the palace to meet Zhu Yinglong, and the emperor's order came down and asked him to set off immediately. This was a big deal for the emperor to choose a girl. He had to do it quickly. In fact, he was afraid that there would be too many dreams at night. Before Li Yongzhen could completely turn to the queen and king Xin's side, he would quickly get rid of it. When the person died, he could not say anything.
Zhu Yinglong took the opportunity to write a letter to return to the fiefdom to test Wei Zhongxian's attitude. Sure enough, his request to return to the fiefdom was rejected, because the emperor's birthday was coming soon, so he asked him to accompany the emperor to celebrate the birthday and then go back.
Zhu Yinglong knew that Wei Zhongxian was interfering, but this reason was actually a reason, that was, Zhu Yinglong couldn't do it if he wanted to go back to Kaifeng.
When these trivial matters were handled almost the same, the idea of visiting the father-in-law once again appeared in Zhu Yinglong's mind. Opportunities were for those who were prepared. In the history he knew, after Zhu Youjian came to power, he still relied on eunuchs, and he didn't believe in his ministers. This is why a diligent emperor eventually defeated the country. Of course, this is also a combination of many reasons. However, the fire of the demise of the Ming Dynasty was still ignited by him. He destroyed the Great Wall and no one could save him. He did not want such a tragedy to repeat itself. Then it was just the ten he had trapped in Kaifeng.
A few people are far from enough, especially in the military. There are too few people who can use it. History has changed. Wei Zhongxian's ambition is very different from the original history. He has more than 10,000 armed eunuchs in his hands, and at least half of the armed forces in the capital are controlled by him. He also has the state machine and the initiative is in his hands. If he struggles to the death and provokes those who depend on him to cause trouble, if there is no strong force to support him, the country will fall into chaos from top to bottom. At that time, it may give Huang Taiji, who is eyeing outside the pass, a chance to take advantage of it, causing huge disasters.
Regarding the idea of these issues, Zhu Yinglong did not act arbitrarily, but after careful discussion with Shi Kefa and Xiong Hu, they finally concluded that Wei Zhongxian might go all alone in the end, but Zhu Yinglong had a big question in his heart, why did the history he remembered collapse after Zhu Youjian came to power, and he was exiled to Fengyang and died on the road. Was it because of such a few understatement of history books? Or was the historians who didn't know the complex inside story and could only write it into the history books as they saw on the surface? The biggest deceptive nature of history books is that it was written by later generations, and no one knew how different it was from the real ones.
Also, the treasure map will not end just because of the indifference of Emperor Tianqi. The King of Zhou tried to use the power of the court to deal with his own failure and would never give up. He had no idea what he would do next. Besides, the news was transmitted very quickly in the capital, and maybe he had already taken action after receiving the news and came up with a solution. Therefore, Zhu Yinglong's nerves were very tense every day and there was little time to relax.
Wei Liangqing used this trick to kill people with a knife. Under Wei Zhongxian's instruction, he ordered people to secretly expose the identity of the eunuch who sent Li Yongzhen as the chief eunuch who was the emperor to send Li Yongzhen as the candidate for the selection. In particular, he exaggerated the magical deeds of how Li Yongzhen escaped from the demonic hand of the White Lotus Sect and belittled the White Lotus Sect. This not only insulted the White Lotus Sect in Shandong, but also the White Lotus Sect in Hebei, Shanxi, Shaanxi and other places felt insulted after hearing this, and gathered on Li Yongzhen's journey south, preparing to kill Li Yongzhen and wash away the shame. However, the White Lotus Sect in Shandong was the main leader. If they didn't move, most of the scattered soldiers from all over the country were shaking flags and shouting, and there were probably not many people who were really ready to take action.
The matter of letting Li Yongzhen go is a secret. Even in Shandong Bailian Sect, only a few core leaders knew about it. The members of the church below were not aware of the truth. When they heard this news, they immediately burst into a nest and asked to ambush again, and they grabbed Li Yongzhen and chopped it into meat sauce. However, the news of letting Li Yongzhen go, which is not known to the low-level scholars below. There are too many people below, and it will be troublesome to go out.
Lu Haotian ruled the four battalion commanders for emergency consultation, and the rumors became increasingly unpleasant. The four battalion commanders were all bitter and they could not hold back. The last time they were forced to give up the base camp in Shandong, many church members were already dissatisfied. If it weren't for the situation that was much better than staying in Shandong after going north, someone would probably have rebelled now.
Lu Haotian received Zhu Yinglong's instructions to ask him to find a way to secretly protect Li Yongzhen's safety along the way, but all he heard was a request to kill Li Yongzhen, which made him feel at a loss.
Zhu Yinglong received an urgent letter from Lu Haotian, and thought something big happened. When he opened it, he found that this was the case. It was rare that Wei Zhongxian even took his own army. It would be unreasonable if he didn't respond. He immediately instructed Lu Haotian to agree to the request below, but the target was not Li Yongzhen or Wei Liangqing, but Shi Hou Guoxing, the son of Kebaba, commander of the Jinyiwei, Shi Houguoxing. It can be foreseeable that Kebaba and Wei Zhongxian would fall apart.
Although it is not difficult to solve this matter, the situation of the White Lotus Sect aroused Zhu Yinglong's vigilance. These rude men in the world are all stubborn. If they are not good at guiding, they may also harm themselves. The work of brainwashing the White Lotus Sect in political and ideological aspects must be strengthened. After all, Lu Haotian and Yan Peiwei are not the materials for doing this meticulous work, so they immediately sent a letter to Sun Chengzong of Kaifeng, asking him to bring Huang Zongxi, Zhang Fu and others to Beijing immediately. He needed these young and thoughtful people to help him establish a system similar to the political commissar in the People's Army of Time and Space. In this time and space, there are actually similar positions in "military supervisors". Generally, they are eunuchs, and they are mostly military and domineering. However, in terms of power, they are even above the commander.
