Reborn as a tyrant in the Ming Dynasty

The situation changes no matter how chaotic the surface is, but the core will not change. The numerous groups embodied on the surface are just chess pieces after all, and the joys, sorrows and joys of the chess pieces will not affect the chess players. After all, chess players will never be satisfied with what they want.

This is the temptation of profit.

Living in such a complicated world, no one knows whether he is a chess player or a chess piece. After all, there is always a mountain high, and you can only know it when you laugh at the end.

Tongzhou.

Under the scorching sun, the heat wave swept across, and the hot environment was upsetting.

Tongzhou, which used to be lively and bustling, has become a bit more desolate recently. Even at Tongzhou Pier, you can vaguely notice it.

"Finally, it's time to return to Gyeonggi."

On a docked tanker, Wei Zhongxian, who was wearing a python robe, stood on the deck with his hands behind his hands, overlooking everything in front of him, with a slight smile on his tired face, "This is a good job."

"Yes."

Li Yongzhen, who was accompanying him, said with emotion, "It's really not easy to rush back to the capital all the way. King Fu's arrogance is not ordinary!"

"It's normal."

There was something in Li Yongzhen's words. Wei Zhongxian heard it and said with a smile: "Anyway, Prince Fu is the favorite son of Emperor Shenzongxian and the uncle of the emperor. This time he was summoned to the capital by the emperor. As slaves, we will always It’s not something to be neglected.”

Although Wei Zhongxian knew in his heart why Zhu Changxun, the blessed king of Luoyang, was summoned to the capital by the emperor, on the surface, some scene work still had to be done.

"The factory owner is right."

Li Yongzhen nodded and said: "Now the hearts of King Fu's family have settled down a little. After all, there have been many temptations from King Fu along the way."

"If he wants to tempt you, just let him tempt you."

Wei Zhongxian said nonchalantly: "What we have to do is to invite King Fu's family to Beijing. As for how many crimes we suffered along the way, there is no need to mention it."

"Mr. Factory, when will I leave Tongzhou?"

Li Yongzhen rolled his eyes, looked at Wei Zhongxian and said, "After all, Prince Fu's family was invited to the capital. This is no small matter. If anyone in the court knows about this, then..."

"Wait for the news."

Wei Zhongxian waved his hand and said: "The people who were sent back to Beijing have probably rushed back to the palace by now. If the emperor knows about this, he will definitely have his will. What we have to do now is to appease King Fu first and don't create any complications. "

"Here!"

Li Yongzhen bowed.

During this journey from Beijing to Luoyang and back to the capital from Luoyang, both Wei Zhongxian and Li Yongzhen actually had a lot on their minds.

Yes.

They hold power in the capital and attract the adulation and respect of countless people, but all this is predicated on the fact that they are members of the inner court.

Perhaps it was because things had gone so smoothly in the past, since countless celebrities from the Donglin Party were driven out of the court, that Wei Zhongxian felt a little elated, subconsciously thinking deep down in his heart that he had accomplished all of this.

People are always like this. When they are in adverse circumstances, they will inevitably worry about gains and losses, and when they are in good times, they will inevitably develop arrogance.

It is human nature to be dissatisfied.

Zhu Youxiao knew exactly this, so he chose to let Wei Zhongxian leave the capital for Luo. On the one hand, it was a big deal to bring King Fu to the capital. He had to choose a reliable person to do it, but on the other hand, it was inevitable I want Wei Zhongxian to calm down and think about it.

Wei Zhongxian cannot fall yet.

At least not now.

Faced with such a complicated situation, Zhu Youxiao needs a vicious dog by his side. The key is that this vicious dog must have ideas. In this way, when solving some things, he only needs to say a few words and the vicious dog will pounce on him. Bite!

Someone always needs to do the dirty work.

"I want to see Wei Zhongxian!!!"

A voice suddenly sounded, causing Wei Zhongxian, who originally wanted to go back to the cabin to rest, to stop and frown. He was all too familiar with this voice.

Blessed King Zhu Changxun!

In order to rush back to the capital all the way to eliminate Prince Fu's temptation, Wei Zhongxian thought of many ways to deal with it. In order to allow Prince Fu to return to the capital with peace of mind, Wei Zhongxian took a detour to Damingfu after leaving Luoyang in order to take a boat up the canal. Reduce the displacement along the way.

Because of this decision, thousands of strong laborers in Daming Prefecture were conscripted into corvee labor in order to pull fibers for the fleets they sailed on. The powerful will never be able to sympathize with the sufferings of the people.

the reason is simple.

In the eyes of the powerful, the people at the bottom are nothing more than a bunch of ants.

Even if some die, so what?

"Prince Fu, what are your orders?"

Wei Zhongxian, who came over, looked at the sweaty Zhu Changxun, with a smile on his face, bowed his head and saluted: "As long as it is something that this old slave can do, then..."

"I want to get off the boat!!"

Zhu Changxun, who was upset and upset, said after seeing Wei Zhongxian: "It's too hot today. I can't stay here for a moment. Since we have arrived in Tongzhou, why don't we set off for Beijing?"

Perhaps it was because of the temptations along the way that Wei Zhongxian handled them very properly, which made Zhu Changxun's initial fear of leaving Luo dissipate.

In Luoyang, Zhu Changxun, who was enjoying all the glory, never suffered such suffering. On such hot days, he usually stayed in the palace's villa to escape the heat. In order to dispel the scorching heat, he even consumed an exaggerated amount of ice cubes every day.

In today's Ming Dynasty, storing ice cubes is an extremely expensive luxury. Most people are not able to afford it, but for wealthy people, it is nothing.

"Please forgive me, King Fu, but we can't leave Tongzhou yet."

Seeing Zhu Changxun like this, Wei Zhongxian said calmly: "I am dissatisfied with King Fu. The old slave has sent people to the capital to report it. If the emperor knew that King Fu was coming to the capital, he would definitely condemn the people in the palace and come with a guard of honor to welcome him."

"Then let's leave Tongzhou now and rush to the capital first. Wouldn't it be just right?" Zhu Changxun frowned, stared at Wei Zhongxian and said, "I came to the capital on the orders of the emperor, no matter what..."

Regarding what Zhu Changxun said, Wei Zhongxian went in with the left ear and out with the right ear. Wei Zhongxian knew in his heart that King Fu's entry into the capital was no small matter. It was not for him to decide how to handle the matter. He had to get the emperor's will. .

Now he doesn't dare to make a wrong move, because he is afraid of offending the emperor, so that his position in the inner court will be really unsafe.

"Did you listen to what I said to you?" Seeing that Wei Zhongxian remained silent, Zhu Changxun felt wary in his heart, and his eyes changed when he looked at Wei Zhongxian.

"King Fu, calm down."

Wei Zhongxian lowered his head slightly and said, "How about this first? I will send people to Tongzhou first to prepare more ice cubes for King Fu to cool off the heat."
