Chapter 8: What the Hero Sees (1)
Zhu Yinglong returned to the palace with the two small pots of ju flower wines that the queen Zhang Yan gave him. Today's plan is extremely risky. He has prepared for a day. Emperor Qi is wrong. Should he take the risk and make suggestions? Fortunately, Li Yongzhen's acting skills are not inferior to Wei Zhongxian. He is also a smart and knowledgeable person. He won the favor of Emperor Tianqi in one fell swoop. This is no wonder. Li Yongzhen was originally serving Emperor Tianqi. He couldn't figure out the thoughts of Emperor Tianqi. He grasped it just right. He never forgot to praise Wei Zhongxian, which made the two of them feel intimate.
Illusion, as a result, Emperor Tianqi naturally thought that he was Wei Zhongxian's man, and it was nothing to promote it. It can be seen that this eunuch is also a philosophy. I underestimated these people before, thinking that they would just be charming the superiors and bullying the subordinates and clean up the affairs of harming the country and the people. In fact, the key is still in people's hearts. The eunuchs who can rise to power in the palace all have a sharp eye that observes words and expressions. They can get in touch with emperors more than ministers. Their responsibility is to serve the emperor well, so they will naturally use their minds. Since they either entered the palace in childhood or were desperate, they did not receive any help from the palace.
Very good education, not getting the respect they deserve, coupled with their somewhat extreme psychology, which caused the inner distortion of these eunuchs. If they were not corrected, they became crazy and perverted, and enjoyment and fighting became their only pleasure. Of course, out of the selfish side of human nature, the emperor would of course worry about eunuchs interfering in politics. The eunuchs belong to their own servants, and many things were left to eunuchs to handle. Will they interfere in the government affairs without hiding them? If they become smarter in their calligraphy and writing, and their desire to expand power will pose a threat to their throne and their descendants, then the eunuchs and palace maids will not be allowed to learn.
The word "duanwen" made them only know how to do things according to their orders, but this was just a wishful thinking. When the emperor handled state affairs, he would often unconsciously rely on the eunuchs whom he trusted the most. The eunuchs had been with the emperor for a long time, and he would continue to learn because they could not do many things. In addition, their wisdom of being good at observing and scheming over time, their ambitions would gradually expand. If the emperor was foolish, this would give the eunuch the best prerequisite for interfering in politics. I didn't expect that the Chongyang chrysanthemum appreciation would bring so many ideas to Zhu Yinglong, which was unexpected.
Today, I didn’t go home like he did for the first time. The palace was cleaned spotlessly. The two pairs of dilapidated red lanterns in front of the door also replaced with a new pair of new ones, and wrote three big words "Xinwang Mansion" and walked into the palace. Everyone who saw him was respectful. Zuo Changqing and the four people guarding the door had already set their examples. They didn’t want to follow the footsteps of the five people, so they naturally had to try their best to please them.
Wang Chengen swept away his humiliation for several days. Now that he has assigned a job, no one dares to be perfunctory. A wink passed, and several people rushed to do it, which is like giving it to the head of the royal palace.
"Prince, how is the matter?" Zhu Yinglong deliberately showed a serious look on his face. Xiong Hu felt anxious and asked with a hint of nervousness on his pretty face.
Zhu Yinglong immediately smiled brightly and made a "OK" position with his right hand. All the girls who were intimately in contact with him knew Xiong Hu's eyes. Zhu Yinglong was really happy inside. At least it could be seen that Xiong Hu still cared about him very much.
After listening to Zhu Yinglong’s story, especially Li Yongzhen’s performance today, Xiong Hu breathed a sigh of relief and went to work on her own affairs. Shi Kefa’s expression seemed to have not relaxed at all.
"Prince, although our current crisis may be temporarily eliminated,..." Shi Kefa was quite embarrassed and could not say anything.
"But what?" Zhu Yinglong wanted to know what Shi Kefa was thinking, after all, he could not think carefully alone.
"But Li Yongzhen must not stay!" Shi Kefa seemed to have mustered up a lot of courage to look directly at Zhu Yinglong's eyes.
Zhu Yinglong was suddenly stunned. He also said from Shi Kefa that he wanted to kill someone. Even if Wei Zhongxian killed his teacher, he only said "should be killed" or "cut into pieces". He was full of resentment when he said it, but it was the first time he said that he wanted to kill someone so calmly.
"Tell me your reasons?" Zhu Yinglong asked.
"This person is very scheming, good at observing words and expressions, and can be volatile. He can do whatever he wants for the sake of profit. This was how he was when he was a confidant of Wei Zhongxian. There were several upright ministers who were killed by him. It was always a disaster to stay by the prince." Shi Kefa said calmly.
"If a man does not care for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth. It is understandable that he does this?" Zhu Yinglong had some appreciation for Li Yongzhen. Such a person is suitable for doing things for himself in the dark. However, this "control" is a very problematic problem. He himself is worried that it will not be able to control it. It may be easy to train a dog into a wolf, but it may not be so easy to train a wolf into a dog. Of course, there is a difference between a human and a dog.
"Prince, the student does not object to your use of him now, but you must not reuse this person in the future." Shi Kefa's expression was very firm, and there was a tendency to persuade Zhu Yinglong to agree.
"Xianzhi, don't worry, I am a good person." Zhu Yinglong couldn't answer this question, so he just patted him on the shoulder a few times with comfort.
It is already the limit for King Xin to agree to this. Shi Kefa knew that this prince, who was a few years younger than him, had a strong subjectivity. Perhaps it was different from the prince's perspective from his own perspective, and the direction of thinking about things was also different.
"Prince, the student has some ideas." Shi Kefa was silent for a while and spoke.
"You said." Zhu Yinglong had no grudge against Shi Kefa's persuasion to kill Li Yongzhen. If it weren't for his value of exploitation, it would be a pity to kill Li Yongzhen.
"Li Yongzhen's life is probably in danger of going here!" Shi Kefa said word by word.
Zhu Yinglong was shocked all over and told himself in his heart not to be complacent. If it weren't for Shi Kefa's reminder, this mistake would have been a big mistake.
"Your Majesty doesn't believe it?" Shi Kefa saw that Zhu Yinglong had not moved for a long time and said anxiously.
"It's not that you don't believe it, but that you must be in danger of your life." Zhu Yinglong turned around and said solemnly, "Thank you, Xianzhi. If you hadn't reminded me at this time, I would have almost been overjoyed and almost missed the big thing."
Shi Kefa was praised by Zhu Yinglong, and his old face turned slightly red, and he felt a little embarrassed.
"Xianzhi, you have made great contributions, and I will reward you well." Zhu Yinglong insisted on the creed: "A reward for any merit, and a punishment for any mistakes."
"Prince, this is what students should do, and there is no need for any reward." Shi Kefa refused repeatedly.
Zhu Yinglong suddenly remembered Shi Kefa and seemed to have no descendants in his life. After being captured by Qing soldiers in Yangzhou, his adopted son Shi Dewei was by his side. Moreover, Shi Kefa is not young anymore and is still alone. It is a bit unreasonable to see if he is going to take care of his life alone. Thinking of this, Zhu Yinglong smiled and said, "Since Xianzhi doesn't want to, I will not force you now, but this reward will be sent to me first, and I will give it to you in the future."
Shi Kefa saw Zhu Yinglong say this and hurriedly lowered his head to thank him.
