Chapter 73 Blocking Beijing
"He will definitely come. However, Zhu Cheng is a very cautious person and may not believe you... take our daughter Wei Honglian there, so there will be no problem."
Xu Xianchun was heartbroken, and he was willing to take the risk to meet Wei Zhongxian, half of the reason was for Wei Honglian.
Xu Xianchun was widowed in middle age and had never re-stringed. When he met Wei Honglian by chance, he was shocked. After learning about Wei Honglian's origin, he knew that her husband had passed away. His mind moved and plunged into the arms of the eunuch party. This time Wei Zhongxian asked Wei Honglian to accompany him to the imperial village in the west of Jingxi, so why didn't Xu Xianchun excited?
Before Wei Zhongxian could speak, Wei Honglian went into the house to change clothes. Although the officials who were guarding the door did not dare to search the Jinyiwei's car, in case of precautions, Wei Honglian decided to dress up as a man to make up. Now is a critical moment of life and death, and there is no way to avoid any mistakes.
When Wei Honglian came out again, Xu Xianchun's eyes lit up. Wei Honglian was dressed in a scholarly manner, full of heroic spirit, and she was so handsome.
Xu Xianchun returned home, put on the Jinyiwei uniform, took more than a dozen chess, put on a carriage, and headed straight for Xizhimen.
The official of the Donglin Party guarding Xizhimen was You Shiren, the Censor of Guangxi Road. When he saw Ti riding a horse, he hurriedly asked someone to put down the roadblock.
When Tiqi saw a roadblock in front of him, he quickly slowed down.
Xu Xianchun shouted: "You are so brave, how dare you stop the Jinyiwei?"
You Shiren did not answer and looked at the Tiqi carefully. He did not find Wei Zhongxian's servants. The servants were mixed in and asked casually: "Where are you going?"
Xu Xianchun said angrily: "When will the Jinyiwei be under the jurisdiction of the Censor?"
You Shiren did not answer. Seeing that there was a carriage in Xu Xianchun's team, the curtains were lowered, he asked again: "Who is in the carriage?"
Xu Xianchun laughed furiously and said, "If you have the courage, open the curtain and take a look."
You Shiren winked at a servant. The servant pretended not to stand firm and fell towards the carriage. He pulled his hand and pulled the curtain of the carriage off.
You Shiren carefully looked at the passengers in the car and found that he was very unfamiliar. With a wave of his hand, the servants removed the roadblock.
Xu Xianchun was furious and said, "Okay, okay, Lord You have such a great official power. Supervise Guangxi, and then supervise Xizhimen. Now I have something to do, so let you go. When I come back, I will ask the emperor to go and argue about this matter."
You Shiren was fearless and said, "You go! Our Donglin Party members are loyal to the country, how could they be afraid of a few greedy words?"
Seeing that the roadblock had been removed, Xu Xianchun pointed at You Shiren with a whip, and then rushed out of Xizhimen with a horse.
Later, You Shiren also used his hands to make a loud trumpet and laughed: "Xu Tongzhi, I'll wait for you to come back to report to the emperor."
After walking far away, Wei Honglian was so scared that she beating her heart with a "bang bang" and breathed a sigh of relief.
Wei Honglian called out softly: "General Xu, General Xu!"
Xu Xianchun immediately changed from a majestic general to a gentle kitten. He turned his horse's head and walked to the carriage and asked, "Miss Wei, what's wrong?"
Wei Honglian covered her mouth and smiled, saying, "What are you doing so politely, just call me Wei Honglian. Why was the censor so fierce just now? Aren't the officials the most afraid of the Jinyiwei?"
"There is no reason for the Jinyiwei or not. The Emperor is brave, the Jinyiwei is fierce, and the Emperor is be kind and the Jinyiwei is weak. Yesterday, the Donglin Party led the officials of the entire court to attack Lord Wei. They are powerful and public, and the emperor's character is too kind and generous, so I am afraid that I have to disagree with the opinions of the officials. In this way, it is a foregone conclusion that the Donglin Party takes charge of the government. At that time, the Dongchang and the Jinyiwei are controlled by the Donglin Party. How could he respect me, a small Jinyiwei commander, Tongzhi. After the court was dispersed today, the Donglin Party blocked the various entrances and exits of the Forbidden City, and the Donglin Party officials were also sent to guard the various gates of Beijing. Their arrogance can be seen. Originally, Eunuch Wei was an opponent who could fight with the Donglin Party, but unfortunately the Donglin Party saw the opportunity too early. Before the power of Eunuch Wei could grow stronger, they began to counterattack... Alas!"
"There are rumors outside that everyone in the Donglin Party is not a gentleman, and everyone is a wise man? Isn't it a good thing for them to be in power?"
"These rumors were all told by the Donglin Party itself. As long as the Donglin Party intervenes, it will be bad. Originally, Xiong Tingbi defended Liaodong very well, but when the Donglin Party intervenes, Liaodong is in ruins. Later, the court remembered Xiong Tingbi, and the Donglin Party mixed sand to Liaodong and sent a Wang Huazhen, but ended up losing all the land north of Shanhaiguan. This is the Donglin Party, a gentleman and wise man, emerged from many people!"
"Then the Donglin Party impeached my father because he was too... too greedy?"
"Of course not. The Donglin Party's butts are not clean, each one is more greedy than the other. They are simply fighting for power and profit with the emperor. Eunuch Wei is the emperor's person and dealing with all officials on behalf of the emperor. Defeating Eunuch Wei means taking away the emperor's power and turning the emperor into a puppet that the Donglin Party decides to stamp it."
