Chapter 962 It's time for us to perform!

When the boat arrived at Tianjin Wei Wharf, Eunuch Wei was mentally prepared to accept the warm welcome and praise.

He believed that with the emperor's special hobby for money, he would send Da Yan to Tianjin to pick him up in person and give him enough face.

The huge capital of 450,000 taels is undoubtedly a timely help for the emperor's shriveled inner treasury.

Although Eunuch Wei often makes 100,000 taels of money in Jiangnan, hundreds of thousands of taels of money, and the expenses are as if the money is worthless. But 450,000 taels are really a big money for the emperor. In terms of state affairs, it is also a big money.

Xiong Tingbi wrote a few years ago to the court to set up an important town in Hedong, and the price was only 350,000 taels. In this way, the Ministry of War also vetoed it due to too much expenditure, resulting in a huge change in the Liao incident ten years later, and there was no elite troops to rescue the bomb.

Therefore, both public and private, the emperor must waving red flags, and colorful flags flutter to welcome Eunuch Wei to Beijing to offer silver.

However, when the old man walked down the deck with confidence, he was shocked to find that no one came to pick him up Eunuch Wei.

Apart from the loading and unloading coolies and a few merchants, there were no official people on the dock.

How could it be?

Eunuch Wei was thinking that this was wrong. If Wanli doesn’t give me a good minister’s face, you always have to give me money and face, right?

Did the date be wrong?

Thinking of this possibility, Eunuch Wei comforted himself not to be anxious and waited quietly. He had told Wanli in the secret disclosure that he would log in from Tianjin Wei, and it was normal that there would be some errors in the palace if he could not master the itinerary.

Or today or tomorrow, what should come will definitely come.

If he didn't pose for the 450,000 taels this time, he had to put down his figure for the mountains of gold and silver behind him.

So, he ordered to unload the silver, and at the same time, he asked someone to contact the relevant parties of Tianjin to take his official seal with the seal, and asked them to vacate a section of the place for Eunuch Wei and his entourage to rest.

Tianjin is the old nest of the Jinyiwei, and the Jinyiwei Commander and Inspector Office is located here, so Eunuch Wei must say hello to Luo Sigong, the Grand Governor of the Jinyiwei. He ordered Tian Gang, who was accompanying him to go to the Jinyiwei yamen to submit posts on his behalf. It doesn’t matter what you see, it just goes through a formality.

This is also a practice in the officialdom.

You submitted the post, it's your duty, and everyone is in peace.

If you come but don’t submit a post, then there will be nothing wrong now, and there may be something wrong in the future.

As the mistress of Xi Li, Eunuch Wei definitely has no good feelings for Luo Sigong, who helped the Donglin Party members to coerce Xi Li with the Jinyiwei in the case of moving the palace, and he does not want to deal with him. However, now he has the Jinyiwei people who are helping him, so it is unreasonable not to post a message to the leader.

Eunuch Wei pointed to Tian Gang, the grassroots personnel of the Jinyiwei, who played a role in the future. If the person asked General Luo to take it back, he would have no way to use Tian Gang and the others to get involved in the Jinyi army.

So, I can feel a little bit more in terms of face.

Unexpectedly, Tian Gang came back soon after he went there. He said that Commander Luo was not in the yamen, but rushed to Beijing overnight last night.

Eunuch Wei was stunned: The Grand Governor of the Jinyiwei rushed to the capital overnight, and this behavior was unusual.

Could something big happened in Beijing?

After thinking about it, I didn't expect any big news in the capital in the 41st year of Wanli, so it was even more strange. So I asked Tian Gang to go to the Jinyiwei Yamen to inquire, don't be afraid of spending money.

However, after spending money and getting along with friendship, Tian Gang still gained nothing.

I only knew that Governor Luo was leaving very urgently, so I didn't even give me some explanation.

Eunuch Wei was puzzled and wanted to go to Beijing to take a look and join in the fun. But with so much money here, he couldn't just leave.

It wasn't because he was afraid that the silver would be robbed, but he wanted to take the silver to Wanli to see it to deepen the emperor's impression of him.

Throughout history, achievements have been made, but leaders have not seen them with their own eyes, and they are always inappropriate.

I waited anxiously for an afternoon. In the evening, people finally came to Beijing.

But it was not Da Wan, but Zheng Cheng, the head of the mansion of Master Jin Zhong, who wrote a poem.

Zheng Cheng was also in a hurry. Seeing that Eunuch Wei only said something big in the palace, the emperor and Eunuch Jin didn't care about Eunuch Wei's side and asked him to transport the silver to Beijing and get it into the inner treasury.

"What happened in the palace?"

Eunuch Wei was in a conflict and couldn't even care about money. It seemed that something happened in the palace was a big deal.

As a family member of Bingbi, Zheng Cheng knew that the palace was secretly hidden and that Eunuch Wei was the one whom Eunuch Jin liked. So when he saw that there was no one else around, he whispered to Eunuch Wei that there was a Jinyiwei in the capital to rebel.

....

According to Zheng Cheng, there was a hundred households named Wang Yuegan of the Jinyiwei. At noon yesterday, he took the opportunity of entering the palace to secretly bring a 14-pound musket into the palace. Then he hid in the woods under the palace wall and loaded the musket with wooden handles, then sneaked onto the palace city and fired a gun towards the direction of the Ganqing Palace.

It was a great event to fire guns in the forbidden area in the palace. The soldiers patrolling the city immediately captured Wang Yuegan and immediately sent him to the Ministry of Justice for questioning.

Officials from the Ministry of Justice did not dare to neglect them. They planned to punish the king for "fixing fire from forbidden land", but the king kept calling for someone to rebel.

An official from the Ministry of Justice asked him who was treason, and the king replied that he was Kong Xue, the eunuch of Concubine Zheng’s palace.

This scared the officials of the Ministry of Justice, and also scared the thousands of households of the Jinyiwei and hundreds of households, and the two eunuchs who were deported to the prisoners changed their faces at that time.

No matter how afraid the officials of the Ministry of Justice are, if the prisoners say that there is someone to rebel or indicate who the rebel is, they have to ask clearly.

So, a minister and several doctors were interrogated immediately.

The case was quickly understood.

Wang Yuegan said that he had an elder sister who was ordered by Concubine Zheng to marry Jiang Lishan, the eunuch in the palace of the imperial concubine. In order to repay the concubine's kindness, Jiang Lishan even made a blood alliance with Kong Xue and others, saying that there was a secret order from the imperial concubine, and was preparing to ask someone to cast spells, poison the emperor and the crown prince to death, and then support King Fu as the emperor.

Wang Yuegan was a month ago, Kong Xue and others held a banquet for the demon Wang Sanzhao to come to his house for consultation. Wang Sanzhao proposed to cut three paper men, write the empress dowager, the emperor's holy name, and the crown prince's birthday, and prepare in advance the incense paper table and a black porcelain soul shooting bottle. Then Wang Sanzhao chanted the spell and burned the talisman in the back garden of the Kong family, and then used forty-nine iron nails to nail them to the eyes of the three paper men, and burned the paper men seven days later.

Officials from the Ministry of Justice asked when the agreed practice was the time, and Wang Yuegan said that it was around the Empress Dowager's birthday.

After the trial, the Ministry of Justice quickly handed the confession into the palace. The emperor, who was frightened by the sound of guns, was furious after seeing it. The imperial concubine was even more shocked and collapsed on the ground, saying that she was wronged.

Now not only are people in the palace panic, but everyone outside the palace is in danger. Even the gate of the Zheng family dares to step in one step.

Eunuch Wei was also amazed when he heard this. What era is this? Why do people always believe in this magic?

If magic can be rebelled, it doesn’t matter whether there is a seed or not.

Wang said Gan?

My father-in-law was a little familiar with this name and racked his brains to remember that he had seen this person.

When he went to Beijing, didn’t Wang Yuegan compete with someone from the East Factory’s outer sixth rank in the mountain temple? The fat man stared at him before leaving, scaring him to the point of being in trouble.

Later I found out that there was a false alarm.

"This is someone who wants to kill the concubine."

Eunuch Wei didn't believe Wang Yuegan. What did he do with his good Jinyiwei family? It's not Zhang Cha's gambler.

There must be a conspiracy in the matter, and the truth may not be as Wang Yuegan said.

"Prepare the horse!"
