Chapter 523: Gaining weight

Wang Xinyi's face was pale and walked under the eaves of the corridor with the help of several family members.

Xu Dahua looked at him, with no slight remark on his face and shouted: "Wang Xinyi, you slandered the eunuch of Sili and said so violently. What happened to you today!"

Wang Xin trembled and bent down and said, "Please report to the envoy Rong. That memorial was definitely not written by the officials. The officials were really wronged."

Xu Dahua laughed and said, "Wang Xinyi, you'd better dare to act. At least you can gain a good reputation in your party and deceive those fools who have never liked eunuchs. If you dare not act, and say such a joke that makes people laugh, it will be really unpleasant."

Xu Dahua's words were actually correct. When things went to this point, even if the court knew that the memorial was not written by Wang Xinyi, Wang Xinyi was still dead. It would be better to be strong and gain a good reputation.

However, Wang Xinyi did not want to be a "martyr" no matter what. If someone else did this, he might as well applaud others passionately. If he did it himself, he would have to refuse anyway.

Unfortunately, Xu Dahua no longer allowed Wang Xinyi to defend himself. When he waved his hand, Xu Dahua said, "Start read!"

A Jinyiwei Banner School rushed up immediately and took out an imperial edict from the package. Of course, this kind of decree was not an imperial edict of etiquette or etiquette, or a yellow-skinned white rice paper. Wang Xin saw that the flag school had started to read the decree, and immediately fell to the ground with his eyes black.

"Help him kneel down," Xu Dahua said dissatisfiedly: "Is this considered the Donglin Party? It's so backboneless."

The decree was not long, only less than a hundred words. It was just an order to arrest Wang Xinyi and take him to the capital. The Ming Dynasty issued an eunuch not as expected by later generations, but mostly civil officials. Only this kind of decree to arrest officials was usually held at the Jinyiwei Banner School. After reading, he was arrested immediately.

"Take it!"

Xu Dahua just shouted loudly when the banner school finished reading the order!

"Mr. Xu is waiting for it." Of course, outsiders could not come in when the imperial edict was announced. The Jinyiwei isolated the inside and outside. After the imperial edict was announced, there was a eunuch wearing a three-mountain hat and holding a whisk in his hand and came in from the side door.

Wang Xinyi was originally groggy, but his eyes suddenly lit up.

This is very likely to be someone sent by His Highness Dai. Although the relatives cannot interfere in government affairs, if Dai has obvious tendencies, the court will probably consider it.

The eunuch ran over while shouting. He said to Xu Dahua: "His Highness Dai Wang said that Wang Xinyi has always been respectful in serving me, and he also asked Lord Xu to be decent for him."

Xu Dahua pondered for a moment, but he couldn't figure out what King Dai meant, and he replied casually: "This matter is easy to deal with. I will arrange carriages and horses, nor will I tie Lord Wang, and the supply will be generous..."

These things are all details that Xu Dahua can do casually.

Anyway, when he was taken to the capital, Wang Xin was admitted to the imperial prison. How should he suffer? It was the affairs of the Jinyiwei. Going up was the affairs of the Dongchang and the Silijian, and it had nothing to do with him Xu Dahua.

The face of the relatives is worth this little.

The eunuch coughed, as if there was something to say. Xu Dahua was a little impatient. These eunuchs from the foreign vassals were no more powerful than eunuchs in the imperial palace. They were as powerful as their masters. They even bullied ordinary gentry and the people at the bottom. They could not help but encounter high-ranking gentry and civil servants.

"Mr. Wang, Your Highness Dai Wang has a word to ask you," the eunuch didn't care about Xu Dahua's face, and he said, "Do you know where that Fan Yongdou is?"

Wang Xin made a strife and replied, "The officials don't know."

"Do you know if they talked to His Highness Dai about cooperation?"

"This official knows..."

"Fan Yongdou disappeared. The Wang and Tian were scared away. Do you really don't know where Fan Yongdou is?"

Wang Xinyi smiled bitterly and said, "Fan Yongdou and one of my staff members disappeared. The officials felt that this matter was related to the false memorial, but no one obeyed the officials' defense."

"We are not interested in listening." The eunuch of the royal family looked unhappy. It was obvious that the job was done. Thinking of the King Dai, he was already unhappy, and he must be even more unhappy after he brought back the news. The eunuch of the royal family was already very ugly.

When the eunuch left, Xu Dahua kept his promise and did not tie Wang Xinyi up, and even asked someone to come to a mule cart. Wang Xinyi curled up and lay on the mule cart. Wang Xinyi's servants were all scattered, and no one stayed to be loyal servants. There was only an old servant who was originally a son of the Wang family and was brought from his original home. At this time, the old servant was following the mule cart with tears in his eyes, preparing to go to the capital with his master.

Among the crowd, there was a middle-aged man with a very good demeanor, wearing royal blue embellishments, and a piece of green jade was inlaid on the six-held hat on his head. He could tell at first that he was a gentry with a very status. He was so serious that he didn't need the servants he brought to work. He just squeezed out the road in the crowd and entered the restaurant on the street with another tall man. When he walked to the second floor and stood in front of the window, he happened to see the scene of Wang Xinyi being escorted out.

"Although I have been looking forward to this day, I still feel sad after seeing Wang Xinyi's fate." The elegant middle-aged man was Zheng Guochang, the governor of Datong. He was also in danger of dressing up. Fortunately, there were not many people who recognized him. In addition to the inner confidants of the Zheng family, the outer few were sent by Zhang Han. He was very skilled and was not afraid that the Shanxi merchants might use force assassination to take a risk. Zhang Han escaped, Wang Xinyi fell, Fan Yongdou disappeared, and the Shanxi merchants in Zhangjiakou had failed for many years. At this time, in addition to Zhang Han's need to strengthen his own vigilance, Zheng Guochang and others also needed to be cautious. After all, when it comes to a business involving tens of millions of silver, the remaining Shanxi merchants may not recognize it like this.

The people around Zheng Guochang were naturally Ma Chengen, but he looked indifferent. After listening to Zheng Guochang's words, Ma Chengen said: "Maybe it's because of the different paths of civil and military affairs, or maybe it's because this Wang is too hateful. I feel a little happy."

Zheng Guochang shook his head and smiled, and said, "Tell me, I really play the piano with a cow."

Ma Chengen said: "Are I awesome?"

The two laughed together... The general and the governor had such a good relationship, and only Datong was here.

The vehicle escorting Wang Xinyi gradually turned and left. A large number of imperial envoys and Jinyiwei were on guard from leaving the city. Xu Dahua escorted Wang Xinyi and left directly.

Zheng Guochang saw that the people on both sides had dispersed, and said to Ma Chengen: "Xu Dahua came to see me quietly last night."

Ma Chengen said with great interest: "What did he say?"

"Of course, it's just to please and act like a good person, but to ask for money." Zheng Guochang said: "I'm impatient to tell him, and only told him that I will definitely see Zhang Han and Zhang Wenlan on the way."

So far, Xu Dahua has just acted like this. Zhang Han has already held Wei Zhongxian's thick legs and gave Xu Dahua ten courage. He didn't dare to really check He Yusheng. But this guy will definitely not accept it if he left like this. Zheng Guochang probably wouldn't have called Xu, with Zhang Han's personality, that's why he left empty-handed.

"Xu Dahua... His smell is very annoying." Zheng Guochang suddenly sighed, and some old look appeared on his face. He looked at the chaotic street market and said in a deep voice: "In order to protect himself, Wen Lan had to join the eunuch party. There is nothing to say. If you can't pass this level, everything is empty. Just for example, the eunuch party will rise quickly and fall quickly. It has prospered over several years, but there are many people who have fallen over several years. So I still wrote a small letter to Wen Lan to remind him to pay attention."

Ma Chengen said disapprovingly: "Uncle, you think too much! Who is Wen Lan? He will be controlled by the eunuch party by the small business owner to achieve the current situation? I think that he and the eunuch party are just taking their own needs. Wen Lan is clear in his heart. He told me that the Donglin Party is like an iceberg, and the eunuch party is just like this. If you go on, there will probably be many people in troubled times. Everything should be based on making military achievements and retaining the Needen army. I don't dare to believe it, but I have to believe it..."

Zheng Guochang's eyes showed a deep thought. Zhang Han naturally vaguely said what Ma Chengen said. Of course, it was not as straightforward as Ma Chengen's words, but the general meaning was similar.

After thinking for a long time, Zheng Guochang shook his head and said, "Except for the fact that the Eastern Barbarians are really hard to calm down, the Northern Barbarians are not considered threats. To be honest, Wen Lan used his own regiment to train private troops to go north. The Northern Barbarians gathered more than 100,000 troops, but there was no way to do anything about it. Apart from that, the world is still peaceful."

Ma Chengen smiled slightly and said, "Uncle She Chongming started in the first year of Tianqi and besieged Chengdu for more than 100 days. Anbangyan began besieging Guiyang in February of the second year of Tianqi. How many days have it been now? Chengdu is fine, or if its subordinates go to Kunming, and the two provinces of Yunnan and Guizhou will no longer be owned by the Ming Dynasty."

"This matter is nothing." Zheng Guochang said: "The southwest Yi surrendered and rebelled. Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the war has never stopped. It is just that the scale is large and small. The She'an Rebellion is indeed a headache, but the matter is already solved, but the Nanjing Ministry of War has been mobilized. The army of many provinces has mobilized. I heard that there are more than 100,000 people. Once the main force of the court arrives, the two thieves of She'an will be punished and given their heads."

"My views are different." Ma Chengen said: "The She family and the An family are both powerful chieftains. The so-called right time, right place and people are harmonious. Now the Ming Dynasty is weak, and the elite soldiers are lost many times. The geographical advantage must be owned by the She'an family. As Lao Lao said, the wild nature of the southwest is difficult to tame, so the Renhe is of course on their side. The imperial court mobilized large troops from the southern provinces, and the number of people is enough, but the combat power of the guest soldiers is really worrying... So Wen Lan's view is right. The She'an Rebellion alone is probably afraid that it is possible for him to be in the She'an Rebellion alone.

The court had to spend a lot of money and took several years of hard work to calm down. This is also a manifestation of the decline of our Ming Dynasty's national strength. Not to mention that the country would send hundreds of thousands of troops at the beginning, all of which were good generals and elite soldiers. They would definitely use thunder to quell these rebellions. Even in the Tianshun, Chenghua and even to the Zhengde period, it would be difficult to quell the rebellion with the national strength of the Ming Dynasty. The overall situation today is that a young man has grown old, and for decades it has been just a minor illness that occasionally felt the wind and cold, and now it may be a fatal typhoid fever..."

"Enough, enough." Zheng Guochang waved his hands repeatedly and said, "Let's stop here."
