Factory guards' spies were all over the capital, so before He Xie could return to Fusi Yamen in Beizhen, thousands of households there had already learned about everything that happened in Dongsi's prison.
Lu Liuxu is in charge!
Although this news came as a surprise to everyone, thousands of households in Fusi Yamen of Beizhen quickly accepted this fact.
These days, it's not unusual for a dog to become a Shangguan, let alone a Lu Liuxu?
But the process of Lu Wenzhao's rise to power really shocked everyone. He stormed the imperial edict, killed Yang Huan, forced Xu Xianchun to step down, and even Tian Ergeng was publicly reprimanded by the factory boss.
All of this shows that Lu Liuxu is extremely red!
As a result, He Xie's process of taking over the entire Beizhen Fusi was surprisingly smooth. All his subordinates were respectful, and no one dared to make any mistakes in person, or even show off.
Of course, He Xie knew very well in his heart that this was just a sign of respect. These subordinates just didn't dare to offend him, but they didn't really obey him. He still had a long way to go before he could truly control the entire Beizhen Fusi.
Fortunately, this is not his ambition, so he does not need to expend too much energy. He just needs the rights that this identity brings.
Logically speaking, Jin Yiwei is directly responsible to the emperor, but now, there is a gap of nine thousand years between Jin Yiwei and the emperor. For He Xie, this is not only not a bad thing, but a good thing.
Because he was unsure of the current emperor's thoughts, but he thought he could still handle Wei Zhongxian's weaknesses for the time being.
With the status of Jin Yiwei commander, he could bypass Tian Ergen and have the qualification to meet Wei Zhongxian directly.
What's more important is that he can investigate anyone at will without having to report to anyone, which undoubtedly reduces many constraints when doing things.
It was getting late today, and the documents and edicts for his appointment had not yet been officially released. After He Xie inspected a circle of yamen, he informed that the yamen would be ordered on time tomorrow and all the guards of 100 households or above must be present, so he declined his subordinates.
After their banquet and farewell, he left alone.
When he returned to the house next to Prince Xin's Mansion, he did not see Ding Baiying. Ding Chong told He Xie that her master went out in the afternoon and never came back. He Xie thought about it and knew that he must have gone to find Zhou Miaotong.
He passed through the secret passage and came to Prince Xin's Mansion again.
Still in the middle hall, when He Xie arrived, the fire in the brazier was blazing, and King Xin was standing in front of the window, with his back to him, quietly looking at the lonely moon in the sky.
He Xie bowed and clasped his fists: "My lord, please see your highness."
King Xin seemed as if he had not heard anything, and He Xie could only maintain his greeting posture without moving.
Show off your power?
Or is it a warning?
He Xie smiled disdainfully in his heart. He knew very well that it was impossible for him to hide such a big move today from King Xin. Unlike in the past, He Xie's actions this time were not reported to King Xin at all. This will definitely make King Xin dissatisfied and
Suspicion. King Xin's cold treatment of him was completely expected by him.
Although He Xie was lying down, he stared at King Xin with his peripheral vision, carefully observing his standing posture and demeanor.
The deathly silence in the hall lasted for about a cup of tea, and neither of them spoke a word.
Suddenly, King Xin sighed and chanted softly: "The toad has eroded the round shadow, and the bright night has faded. Yi has fallen into the sky, and the heaven and the people are peaceful..."
King Xin turned around, looked at He Xie, and said slowly: "Do you know this poem?"
This is Li Bai's "Gu Lang Yue Xing", of course He Xie knows it.
The meaning of these four lines of poetry is: the toad bit the moon into pieces, and the bright night became gloomy. Since Hou Yi shot down the nine suns, the heaven and earth have been clear and peaceful since then.
King Xin recited these four lines of poetry at this time, which obviously meant something. In his eyes, Wei Zhongxian was the toad that bit the moon.
He Xie was slightly silent and said: "I have little education and do not know the elegance of this poem."
King Xin was silent, feeling as if he was ogling a blind man, and he felt even more disgusted with the ignorant Lu Wenzhao in front of him.
He recited this poem because he wanted to say that Wei Zhongxian had made the Ming Dynasty miserable, and he hoped that Hou Yi, who shot the sun, would also shoot down the toad Wei Zhongxian. If Lu Wenzhao understood what he meant, he should kneel down to show his loyalty and loyalty at this moment.
Determination, and then take the initiative to confess everything he did today.
But this damn Lu Wenzhao is poorly educated...
King Xin looked at He Xie indifferently and said with a hint of irony: "I should call you Governor Lu, right?"
He Xie raised his head with a surprised look on his face: "Why did your Highness say this? I acted today without any selfish motives! It was all for your Highness!"
King Xin looked gloomy and said indifferently: "Oh? Killing Yang Huan was also for me?"
"If you don't do such a big thing, how can a mere thousand of your subordinates have the right to meet Wei Wei?" He Xie argued with sadness and indignation.
King Xin suddenly had a cold look in his eyes. He grabbed He Xie's collar and gritted his teeth and growled: "You killed Wei Yi's godson, but he promoted you. Then when did Wei Yi behave like this?"
A kind-hearted person who repays evil with kindness? Do you dare to say that your position was not obtained by betraying me?"
King Xin's eyes were full of resentment and suspicion, and he stared at He Xie. His hands were trembling!
He Xie faintly heard the sound of a knife being drawn outside the palace. He was a little surprised and looked at King Xin in disbelief.
He didn't believe that King Yi Xin was so smart that he didn't realize that his promotion was due to his influence. A person who could become an emperor couldn't be stupid enough to do this!
Then there is only one explanation for this matter. King Xin felt that he had lost control, or in other words, he felt that it was time to kill himself and silence him.
Are you in such a hurry?
He Xie narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at King Xin and said calmly: "Your Highness, I am loyal, and heaven and earth can learn from it! Wei Eunuch promoted me to show goodwill to Your Highness, not because of anything I have done."
King Xin's eyes flashed, and he continued to ask through gritted teeth: "Show me your favor? Why doesn't Wei Wei come to see me directly?"
"He doesn't dare!" He Xie looked at King Xin calmly, "His Royal Highness used to be very close to the kings of Donglin, and often scolded the eunuchs in the palace. Wei eunuchs had doubts and were still waiting to see! He promoted ministers,
He just wants to reassure His Highness first, he wants a guarantee from His Highness!"
"What guarantee?"
"Promise not to kill him!"
King Xin's eyes flashed sharply and he stared at He Xie. After a long time, he let go of He Xie's collar, took two steps back, and turned around again.
"Miao Xuan...how is it?" King Xin's tone softened slightly.
He Xie was slightly silent and said: "When I sent people there, the building was empty. I promise that the matter will be completed tomorrow."
King Xin was silent for a long time again, then suddenly waved his hand: "You go down first."
He Xie bowed and said, "My lord, please leave!"
After He Xie left, a military general wearing armor pushed the door open, leaned down and said, "Your Highness, do you want to catch up?"
King Xin closed his eyes: "This damn dog slave hasn't accomplished anything. It's not time to kill him yet."
