After Wei Zhongxian asked this question, his eyes stared at He Xie's eyes, as if he wanted to distinguish something from them.
But to his disappointment, He Xie still looked calm and calm, and his expression did not change at all because of the pressure in his eyes.
"What the prince means is that it is better to settle Guo Zhen's case as soon as possible." He Xie said with a smile, "At this time when the Ming Dynasty is in turmoil, the factory owner should not focus on such trivial matters. The prince's actual words are
, The factory owner is the backbone of the country, Your Majesty does not hesitate, the factory owner should shoulder the important responsibility and not let the Donglin rebellious party take advantage of the loophole."
Wei Zhongxian's eyes flashed with excitement, but he still said with some suspicion: "The Donglin Rebellion Party... As far as I know, the prince has always complained about the Donglin Party members. The word "rebellion party" does not seem to come from the prince's mouth.
.”
"It's just a show for fun." He Xie said casually, "Your Majesty is a wise king, and everyone praises him. If he doesn't complain about the Donglin Party members, is it possible that he wants to applaud those bastard sons and grandsons of the factory owner?"
A chill flashed in Wei Zhongxian's eyes.
He Xie looked at him and added with a smile: "Your Majesty's exact words, the sons and grandsons of the factory father are in a mess and are making such a big fuss!"
Wei Zhongxian and He Xie looked at each other for a long time, and then said leisurely: "Is the prince dissatisfied with my factory guard?"
He Xie said calmly: "It's not dissatisfaction, it's disgusting!"
Wei Zhongxian's eyes flashed and he leaned forward slightly: "Disgusted? The factory guard is the emperor's eagle dog. The prince's attitude makes the old slave very scared..."
He Xie smiled half-heartedly: "Factory Master, today's factory guards are probably not even the factory master's eagle dogs!"
"Yang Huan, the criminal officer who was the east manager of the district, dared to set up a torture chamber for his own selfish purposes, regarded the law as nothing, directed Xu Xianchun's affairs, and even dared to attack the powerful censor of the capital procuratorate without telling the factory boss!"
"Mr. Factory, the prince didn't say this, but I have to ask on behalf of the prince, is this disobedient eagle dog still considered an eagle dog?"
Wei Zhongxian's complexion changed drastically, and cold sweat seemed to break out on his forehead. He stood up suddenly, staggered forward in two steps, hugged He Xie's arm and said tremblingly: "As long as the old slave is here, the factory guards will always be the emperor's eagle dogs!"
He Xie's eyes narrowed slightly: "The factory manager's words seem to be threatening."
"Don't dare!" Wei Zhongxian suddenly raised his voice, "I will never dare to threaten the prince! It's just that the old slave has worked hard for nearly ten years to achieve the current atmosphere of peace and prosperity in the court. It is inevitable that he is unable to do what he wants, which makes the factory guards appear like this.
A few twigs and weeds, as long as the prince is willing to give me some time, the atmosphere of the factory will be completely renewed!"
He Xie smiled and said in a gentle tone: "The prince naturally trusts the factory owner, otherwise he would not let a humble employee come to meet the factory owner. I believe that the factory owner will have plenty of time to put things right in the future for these matters."
"Yes, yes..." Wei Zhongxian seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, holding He Xie's hands tightly and loosening his strength a little. But the next moment, he suddenly stared at He Xie again, and applied force with his hands again.
He said every word: "Master Lu, I am sincere and I should loyally protect our country. But as we get older, we become less courageous. The prince has always been hostile to the factory guards. I am really worried. I dare to ask Master Lu, what should I do?
Taught me?"
Having said so much, this is what Wei Zhongxian is most concerned about. He needs a guarantee, a guarantee from the King of Confidence!
He Xie couldn't give this guarantee, and King Xin wouldn't give it either.
But if Wei Zhongxian cannot get this guarantee, he will not be reconciled at all. So what will be the result?
The result is just not great.
He Xie smiled and said deeply: "Does the factory owner need a letter written by the prince? What's the use? The factory owner only needs to know that the Ming Dynasty cannot be separated from the factory owner, and the prince cannot be separated from the factory owner.
!That’s enough.”
Naturally, Wei Zhongxian was not completely satisfied with this conversation, but He Xie was neither humble nor arrogant, showing both softness and hardness, which did not make Wei Zhongxian doubt his words at all.
If it weren't for King Xin standing behind him, he wouldn't have believed that a mere member of a thousand households could say such confident words.
And in his opinion, this is the attitude a person who is about to become an emperor should have towards him.
Outside the imperial prison, rows of Dongchang fans surrounded the execution hall, and on the outside were the Jinyi guards.
Tian Ergeng, the commander of the Jin Yiwei, also came. With such a big event, he naturally couldn't sit still in the temple. After learning the whole story, his face was particularly gloomy.
He had a very bad premonition in his heart, especially as time passed and Wei Zhongxian was still in the same room as Lu Wenzhao, this uneasy feeling became stronger and stronger.
Xu Xianchun was already dripping with cold sweat at this moment, like an ant on a hot pot, terrified.
Squeak...
Just when everyone outside had different thoughts, the door of the execution hall opened.
Everyone saw Lu Liuxu smiling and supporting the factory owner Wei Zhongxian as he stepped out of the door.
Wow!
All the fans and Jinyiwei from more than a thousand households gathered around, and the shouts of "godfather, godgrandpa" could not be heard.
At this moment, not far away, Ling Yun Kai, Zhang Ying's men, and the men He Xie had brought before were all anxiously waiting for the verdict of their fate.
Killing Zhang Ying of hundreds of households, attacking the imperial edict, and killing Yang Huan, the judge of the East, Lu Wenzhao has done such horrific things. Now, it's time to come to a conclusion.
Wei Zhongxian looked around, and everyone suddenly fell silent, bowed their heads, and did not dare to speak. Only He Xie was still smiling.
"Tian Ergen!" Wei Zhongxian called out a name with a slightly trembling voice.
Tian Ergeng, the commander of the Jin Yiwei, hurriedly walked forward with his body hunched over, and said with a smile: "My child is here! Godfather, please give me your orders."
In this flattering face, where is the arrogance and disdain for He Xie from before?
"You have been the commander of the Jinyi Guards for three years," Wei Zhongxian said with a half-smile, "You have done a great job in the past three years!"
Tian Ergen looked a little frightened and hurriedly knelt down on one knee: "My child, my child..."
"You have turned Jinyiwei into a piece of iron!" Wei Zhongxian continued to smile and sigh, "Master Tian, you are almost catching up with the loyal uncle of the Jiajing Dynasty."
The loyal uncle Wei Zhongxian mentioned was Lu Bing, the commander of the Jinyi Guards of the Jiajing Dynasty.
The Jiajing Dynasty was a period when the Jinyiwei, who was rare in the Ming Dynasty, dominated Dongchang. Lu Bing, the commander of the Jinyiwei at that time, was the only official since the Ming Dynasty who held the title of "three princes" and "three orphans" at the same time. He was trusted by Emperor Jiajing and had great power.
During his tenure, he once publicly killed military commanders, but the emperor issued an edict without asking. At that time, Dongchang was uprooted from top to bottom by him, and the then governor of Dongchang, Li Bin, was tragically killed by his hands.
Wei Zhongxian said that Tian Ergeng would soon catch up with Lu Bing, so naturally he was not praising him.
Tian Ergeng was so frightened that he lost his soul. He knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly: "My child deserves to die! My child is loyal to his godfather..."
"What's going on with Yan Peiwei? Huh?" Wei Zhongxian interrupted him directly, his voice suddenly becoming stern, "Who asked you to ransack his house?"
Tian Ergen had already smashed his head, but he kept banging his head on the ground and shouted in a hissing voice: "I don't know about this, Xu Xianchun did it privately..."
"What do you do for a living!" Wei Zhongxian suddenly shouted, "If you can't even control a subordinate, how do you become a commander?"
"The child is incompetent! The child will die, godfather, please forgive me..." Tian Ergen cried loudly.
"Get Xu Xianchun out of here!" Wei Zhongxian pointed at him and shouted.
"Yes, yes! I'll get rid of this thief now!" Tian Ergeng agreed repeatedly.
When Xu Xianchun, who was not far away, heard this, his face suddenly turned pale and he collapsed to the ground with a thud!
