Chapter 1640 Snooping
"Sir, please pay homage to Mr. Xu." Xu Xianchun came out of Wei Zhongxian's mansion late at night. He was the commander of the Jinyiwei's seal, and was also from Qili. He was famous for his bad reputation, so there were many Yiwei. More than a hundred Jinyiwei's lieutenants and chief servants stood in front and behind. On the side of the sedan chair, there were all servants and lieutenants waiting with lanterns. Ordinary people could not get close to him.
However, it was Huo Weihua who greeted Xu Xianchun's sedan chair. Both of them were Wei Zhongxian's confidants, and they had many relationships and had a deep friendship. Therefore, Xu Xianchun's guards and Yi came over and let him go directly, asking the man to walk to the side of the sedan chair.
Xu Xianchun lifted the curtain of the sedan chair and was quite surprised.
He didn't have to worry about anything. Xu Xianchun was born in a martial arts Jinshi. Although he was a little bit arrogant, Kong Wu was powerful and Huo Weihua was born in a Jinshi. Even if this person had a special intention tonight, he would not be Xu Xianchun's opponent when he came alone.
Of course, Xu Xianchun did not open his mind to the point where Hoveywa's sleeve cone was to assassinate himself, just a flash of thought.
"Brother Ying Geng?" Xu Xianchun said: "Since you are here, why don't you go in?"
"When you go in, you will sit on the opposite side with your face and your face is frowning. Why bother?" Huo Weihua wore a sky-blue Taoist robe, cloth shoes, and pure sun scarf. She looked as elegant as a Taoist priest, and did not feel too sad. This was in sharp contrast to Cui Chengxiu and others.
Xu Xianchun changed his mind and sighed: "Brother Ying Geng, you have already dealt with there. Even if the factory official is defeated, I am afraid that you will not be able to implicate you. You are a cunning rabbit."
Huo Weihua laughed and said, "Mr. Xu is kidding. How easy is it to change the family? Can the people around King Xin allow me to enter it? Is it worthy of King Xin's trust?"
Xu Xianchun smiled slightly, not saying anything.
Since Xu Xianchun's grandfather was Jiajing's son-in-law, the Xu family became more developed. In terms of generations, Xu Xianchun was still a peer of the emperor's grandfather today. However, the in-laws like the son-in-law are only one or two generations, so don't talk about these things if you have more than three generations.
Even so, Xu Xianchun can gain more trust. Without it, the most trusted thing about the royal family in the Ming Dynasty was among the nobles, civil servants and ordinary generals.
Xu Xianchun can get more insider information and know that in the idea Huo Weihua gave Wei Zhongxian last time, there were many things related to King Xin.
Xu Xianchun himself also made efforts in the last incident. He had a close relationship with Yao Zongwen. Yao Zongwen and the few people around King Xin could get in touch with each other. Xu Xianchun also left a way out for himself.
This shallow relationship is useless when it is deadly, especially if King Xin comes to power and purges the eunuch party, he will inevitably use the Donglin party members. Among Wei Zhongxian's "Five Biaos", Tian Ergeng, Xu Xianchun, Sun Yunhe and others are the most effective, and Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou and others are all dead at the hands of Xu Xianchun.
If the Donglin Party takes revenge, others will forget it, Xu Xianchun will definitely die, and the little in-laws relationship at the time will not save him.
As soon as he thought of this, Xu Xianchun had already walked off the sedan chair, clinging to Huo Weihua's hand, and said with a sincere look: "Brother Ying Geng, you and I are close friends. Even though I am a military minister, I am also familiar with literary affairs and knowledgeable. Therefore, as long as my brother teaches me, Xu will never forget this feeling!"
Huo Weihua is only concerned about himself now, so how can he care about Xu Xianchun? This guy has done too many evil things and has no room for his actions. As long as he believes in the king, he or she will either not settle the throne. As long as he or she is liquidated, Xu Xianchun and others will definitely die.
Needless to say, Huo Weihua still needs to see the last step the emperor took. He whispered to Xu Xianchun: "The big thing is imminent, and we must also understand the inside story if we plan. Mr. Xu, please go to the royal palace and see what the situation there before talking about."
"What are you going to the Prince's Mansion to see?"
"You'll know when you go."
Huo Weihua plays a dumb fan, and it is not convenient for him to go by himself, and there may be trouble in the future, so it is not worry about entrusting others. Xu Xianchun has a good relationship with him and is also the commander of the Jinyiwei, so it would be best to ask him to go.
Xu Xianchun was upset and felt that Huo Weihua had a deep meaning. He nodded and stopped sitting in a sedan chair. He asked someone to lead a war horse and rushed to the direction of the Xinwang Mansion with a group of lieutenants.
There was a curfew at night in the capital, and now the news that the emperor was seriously ill and was unable to afford to afford to go. The soldiers of the Five City Military and Ma Si increased their inspections of the streets and markets. Although it was only time to go on, the capital was already silent under the night. Ordinary people did not dare to make any noise. The officials and nobles were well-informed and knew that it was an extraordinary time. The imperial power had actually appeared. Once something big happened, blood might flow into the capital. In this case, as long as people with little relationships would choose to hide at home and not make any noise until the dust finally settled.
At this time, the sound of horse hooves shattered the silence at midnight. Many people climbed up to the heights in the dark and looked at the situation on the streets. They only saw a group of Jinyiwei flying past the night with torches, adding a bit of solemnity to the already tense atmosphere.
Xu Xianchun ran all the way to the vicinity of Prince Xin's Mansion before slowing down his horse. At this time, he didn't care about disturbing too many people. The situation was urgent and even about to break out. No one in Wei Zhongxian's mansion dispersed. Xu Xianchun heard the meaning of Huo Weihua's words, and he was trembling all over. He had never dared to think about such a thing before, but if someone really clicked on this door, with Xu Xianchun's cruelty and cunning, he realized that at this moment, this was the only way to maintain and consolidate the power of the eunuch party.
However, Xu Xianchun could no longer get closer.
There are still hundreds of steps away from the Xin Prince's Mansion. Countless mansions and intersections are filled with battalions from the three major camps.
These soldiers in the camps are definitely not good at fighting, and they can't see the appearance of elite soldiers at all. However, the emergency transfer from the three major camps shows that they are also serious officers and soldiers, not Lahu rogues who make up for their numbers, nor are they slaves in the houses of the Duke and the Marquis' Mansions.
Most of the battalions wore red war jackets, did not wear armor, and held long spears. A few of the three battalions wore cotton armor and held sword cards. Some of the battalions were standing at the entrance of the alley, holding long muskets in their hands, and there were bullet boxes and gunpowder boxes on their waists.
It was almost midnight that these guys could not sleep, and they stood in shifts with spears and swords and cards in their hands. They could only curl up and lean against the wall and talk. When the general came over, they quickly stood up and stood in shifts, like a group of straws blown by the wind.
Several generals, perhaps a thousand general or a whistle commander, were also riding horses around the alley like Xu Xianchun. When a whistle commander saw Xu Xianchun, he immediately turned his attention to him.
"The British Duke led his troops to guard the palace outside the Xinwang Mansion, and the idle people retreated!"
If it were the usual, how could a three-battalion commander dare to attack the Jinyiwei? But at this time tonight, they were strictly prohibited from approaching the palace of Prince Xin, and were ordered by the British Duke. Once someone did not listen to the dissuasion and tried to approach, whether it was a civil servant, a military general, or a eunuch or a factory guard, they would be killed without any hesitation!
After the warning from the whistleman, a group of battalions with muskets had approached, and raised the muskets in his hands, and someone was already taking the tinder pot on his body.
"Let's go!" Xu Xianchun's face changed, and he already knew what Hovehua meant.
After Xu Xianchun returned and told Huo Weihua about the situation outside King Xin’s mansion, the two looked at each other for a long time and were speechless.
"It's not done for anything." Huo Weihua forced a smile to Xu Xianchun and said, "When you look at the residence of King Xin, things can be big or small, and Mr. Xu must not admit that he had been outside the residence of King Xin tonight."
"This is natural." Xu Xianchun was not stupid enough to admit such a thing. He said: "It seems that the letter to Wang will enter the palace tomorrow, and the Duke of England will personally protect him."
"This must be the emperor's instructions. Even the factory man did not know about it." Huo Weihua sighed: "It seems that the emperor knows it. King Xin does not trust the factory man, and the emperor is also afraid that the factory man will be detrimental to King Xin."
"It may not be the emperor." Xu Xianchun gritted his teeth and said, "It may be the queen's proposal."
Empress Zhang has never liked Keshi, and of course she also disliked Wei Zhongxian and the eunuch party. However, the empress had no political proposition. Before that, it was just an attitude. Now the emperor is critically ill, and it is the emperor's will to welcome King Xin to enter the palace. It is necessary for the empress to take some precautions.
In history, Chongzhen was protected and sent to the palace by the British Duke. Therefore, Chongzhen's concern came from being alone before ascending the throne after entering the palace. That was the most dangerous moment when he felt that he was...
"The queen in the palace must also have arrangements." Xu Xianchun said dejectedly: "The factory man cannot cover the sky with one hand in the palace, and things cannot be done."
Huo Weihua smiled and said, "Just just ask Mr. Xu to take a look, you can do it with a clear idea. What else can you do?"
This is of course a discourse of clearing the relationship. If it weren't for the British Duke who led his troops to protect the Xinwang Mansion, Huo Weihua would have a full set of ideas now! He brought the Jinyiwei and the Dongchang Fanzi to the mutiny, captured Xinwang, concealed the news, and after the emperor passed away, Xinwang died suddenly.
Then the ready-made King Gui in the capital, King Gui is the son of Shenzong and cannot be supported. Moreover, King Gui has become an adult, so it is best to support King Gui's son, who is the same generation as Emperor Tianqi. There is nothing we can do. The current relatives can be used, and the bloodline in the sect is completely overwhelming.
And as long as it is not King Fu, the Donglin Party will not oppose it too much. With the strength of Wei Zhongxian and the eunuch Party, they will be able to support the great things, and then take control of the palace and put the queen under house arrest, and the great things will be accomplished!
Of course this is not a rebellion, but the descendants of the Emperor Shenzong of the Ming Dynasty were the emperors and explained to the world. As for how Wei Zhongxian will take the next step, it depends on whether he can truly master the imperial guards and the three camps, as well as the foreign governors and soldiers on the nine sides. It is estimated that it is difficult to change the dynasty, but it is still possible to maintain 20 years of wealth.
However, these thoughts can only be hidden in my heart. The British Duke is there, the three major battalions are there, and the factory guards are useless to use this little force, so they can only give up and dare not even think about it.
Xu Xianchun didn't say anything anymore, and he couldn't do anything. The only hope and opportunity now depends on the emperor's specific explanation of what happened behind him.
If we could entrust our orphans, Wei Zhongxian would have a great reputation and still have a chance. Under the night sky, Xu Xianchun could only imagine this.
