Just when Wei Zhongxian was full of suspicion and panic, someone came to report and Lu Wenzhao asked to see him.
Wei Zhongxian had expected Lu Wenzhao to come, but originally he was sure that Lu Wenzhao was meeting him today to gain benefits, but now, he is not sure what this person's purpose is...
"Godfather! This Lu Wenzhao must be trying to confuse you with sweet words!" Before Wei Zhongxian could speak, Zhao Jingzhong spoke first, "No matter what, our people in Dongchang cannot die in vain, godfather, and, look,
Look at how your god-grandchildren were beaten..."
Master Zheng groaned miserably in unison and sobbed: "Grandpa, you have to make the decision for your grandson!"
Wei Zhongxian had a sullen face and suddenly whispered two words: "Get out!"
Although the tone is light, it contains the unquestionable meaning of motherhood.
Zhao Jingzhong and Zheng Zhangban's expressions changed at the same time, and they fell silent for a moment. They secretly glanced at each other and bowed to Wei Zhongxian: "Yes, godfather (godgrandpa)."
"Call that Lu Wenzhao and come in!" Wei Zhongxian said to Fan Zi on the side.
This is the first time He Xie has walked through the gate of Dongchang, and his predecessor, Lu Wenzhao, has never walked in before.
It's not as gloomy as the rumors say, on the contrary, the environment here is very elegant.
And the eunuchs who were going back and forth did not always smell like urine as the rumors said. Think about it, if the slaves in the palace were all full of irritation, could the emperor stand it?
When he entered the inner courtyard, He Xie saw Zhao Jingzhong and Commander Zheng staring at him with resentful expressions on his face.
He just glanced at it and then looked away.
But his behavior angered Zhao Jingzhong.
The eunuchs of Dongchang have always been accustomed to riding on the heads of the Jinyi guards and arrogant. Even the commander Tian Ergen had to bow and salute Zhao Jingzhong when he saw him, but Lu Wenzhao, a mere man, actually pretended not to.
see him.
"Look, godfather, this Lu Liuxu doesn't take you seriously anymore!" Zheng Zhangban said through gritted teeth, "Who does he think he is!"
Zhao Jingzhong looked ugly. He took a step forward and stopped in front of He Xie, staring at He Xie's face with his eyes.
"Get out!" He Xie spat out one word lightly.
Not to mention that he had already developed a grudge against this person because of the case document treasury. Even if he had not, He Xie would not have a good impression of this kind of traitor.
In the original plot, because this person ruined everything, he ended up shaving his head, growing a rat tail braid, and defected to the Tatars!
You must know that after Wei Zhongxian died, this person inherited the Dongchang. One can imagine the evil of a Dongchang governor who voted against him in a referendum.
Zhao Jingzhong was stunned for a moment, and then his face flushed red!
He is a big stall owner in Dongchang. No one except Wei Zhongxian dares to disrespect him, but now, someone actually tells him to get out!
"Okay! Very good!" Zhao Jingzhong smiled angrily, with ferocious eyes and twisted face. He leaned close to He Xie's ear and said through gritted teeth: "I will let you know what will happen to you if you dare to offend me!
"
He Xie said disdainfully: "Come as you please, I'll be waiting!"
After saying that, she pushed him away and followed Fanzi who led the way and walked straight to the back room.
Zhao Jingzhong was pushed and staggered. He stared at He Xie's leaving back, gritting his teeth.
"Godfather, look how arrogant he is..."
Snapped!
"Shut up! Useless thing!"
"Lu Wenzhao, a low-ranking official, meets the factory boss!"
Wei Zhongxian had already stepped back. He looked at He Xie up and down. He suppressed many doubts in his heart and just said calmly: "Have all the things in the Yamen been settled?"
He Xie smiled: "Thanks to the factory owner, everything went smoothly. I am here today to invite the factory owner to meet with you on behalf of the prince."
As he spoke, he turned his palm over, and there was a jade pendant in his palm. Under Wei Zhongxian's astonished eyes, he stepped forward and respectfully handed the jade pendant to Wei Zhongxian.
Wei Zhongxian took it silently.
This is a piece of jade pendant with carved chilongs that is milky white and as pure as dew. Of course Wei Zhongxian recognizes this jade pendant, because when the emperor ascended the throne, he specially ordered him to take beautiful jade and carve it out of respect for his cousins and the palace craftsmen.
, for King Xin.
This is King Xin's token.
Wei Zhongxian was a little lost in thought. He stared at the jade pendant in his hand for a long time before slowly speaking: "Your Highness...want to see me?"
"Tomorrow at Xu time, the house will be full of blessings. Your Majesty is waiting for the factory master!" He Xie said with cupped hands.
"Tomorrow at Xu time..." Wei Zhongxian murmured, he raised his head, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, "Is there anything else?"
He Xie shook his head: "I have nothing else to report."
Wei Zhongxian was completely confused. All his previous guesses came to nothing!
This Lu Wenzhao did not take the opportunity to ask for benefits, nor did he explain the matter in the archives. Moreover, he did not delay his meeting with King Xin as he had guessed.
Could it be that I misunderstood him? "
But what Lu Wenzhao did before was clearly for his own benefit.
Moreover, when he privately stormed the archives of records and expelled and executed the eunuchs of the East Factory, he indeed did not take himself as the boss of the factory seriously.
What exactly is Lu Wenzhao thinking?
Wei Zhongxian suddenly became confused. His expression flickered and he stared at He Xie without saying a word for a long time.
"Mr. Factory," He Xie clasped his fists, "Is it possible that Mr. Factory doesn't want to meet the prince?"
"No!" Wei Zhongxian came back to his senses and hurriedly denied it. He calmed down. "I was just thinking about the matter of the treasury of records. It is obvious that the prince can solve it by telling me, so why do I have to kill people to seize the treasury?"
He Xie suddenly straightened up, half-smiling but not smiling, staring at Wei Zhongxian: "Is the factory owner asking for an explanation from the prince by asking this question?"
Wei Zhongxian was stunned: "No, of course not!"
Facing He Xie's questioning, he was inexplicably nervous, just like the nervousness he felt when facing the emperor when he was still humble.
"Old slave, I'm just curious." Wei Zhongxian couldn't help but hold on to his legs.
He Xie's expression softened slightly: "Mr. Factory, the prince has his own considerations when he acts. As ministers, it's better not to make assumptions."
A trace of anger flashed in Wei Zhongxian's eyes. Lu Wenzhao, a dog-like thing, dared to teach him a man who was nine thousand years old?
He Xie suddenly changed the topic: "However, the prince does have a prejudice against the factory owner. These words are considered as a humble thanks to the factory owner for his promotion. Once you get out of this job, you will not recognize your humble position."
Wei Zhongxian's attention was instantly attracted to this sentence again, and he suppressed his previous unhappiness. He leaned forward, stared into He Xie's eyes and said slowly: "Captain Lu Gaoyi, I am grateful, but I don't know why the prince
Are you prejudiced against me?"
He Xie sighed: "The factory owner doesn't have any idea?"
Wei Zhongxian was silent. Of course he knew it well. No one knew better than him how much the young prince hated the Eunuch Party and how much he admired the Donglin Party.
But he believed that this was just because King Xin did not really consider the issue from the standpoint of an emperor. If King Xin was really ambitious, he should know that without the eunuch, it would not be that easy to be the emperor.
