Chapter 473 Wei Zhongxian (3)

Wei Zhongxian was frightened when he heard this. He was just a small eunuch leader at this time. When the ministers were determined to deal with him, he would be really dead. He quickly knelt in front of Guo Zhiyuan and said sadly: "My Lord Waiting to save me! If the old slave can escape by chance, he will definitely tie up a carrot to repay the marquis!"

Seeing Wei Zhongxian, who was originally invincible in history, time and space, kneeling in front of him like an old dog begging him, Guo Zhiyuan felt very happy, but there was no joy on his face. He quickly helped Wei Zhongxian up and smiled and said, "Don't have to do this. I have a fate with my father-in-law. I can't sit idly by and watch my father-in-law suffer such an unrestrained disaster. I not only want to save my father-in-law, but also give him a great contribution!"

Wei Zhongxian was surprised and happy, but his heart became more and more confused. He smiled awkwardly and said, "Mr. Marquis, don't tease me. If you have anything to say, just say it!..."

Guo Zhiyuan stopped keeping his composure and smiled and said, "Now Li Xuanshi occupied the Ganqing Palace and refused to move out. If she didn't leave, the emperor would not be able to live in. My father-in-law was deeply favored by Li Xuanshi. As long as he could persuade Li Xuanshi to move out of the Ganqing Palace, wouldn't it be a great achievement? This is the dragon's merit!..."

Wei Zhongxian's eyes lit up and soon dimmed again, and he smiled bitterly: "The Marquis is really optimistic about the old slave. He is determined to be the empress dowager. How could he listen to the old slave's advice and move out of the Ganqing Palace on his own initiative? I am afraid that the old slave will be killed by her as soon as he opens his mouth! Marquis, you are not saving the old slave, it is clearly a harm to the old slave!..."

Guo Zhiyuan laughed confidently and said, "Don't worry, father-in-law, I will teach you how to persuade Li Xuanshi. Just listen to Li Xuanshi as I said, and guarantee that Li Xuanshi will take the initiative to move out of the Ganqing Palace!"

When Wei Zhongxian heard this, he was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Mr. Marquis, please teach me! If this happens, I will never forget the marquis's great kindness!"

Guo Zhiyuan laughed and said, "When you saw Li Xuanshi, you told her that the Empress Dowager wanted to be the Empress Dowager just to seek glory and wealth, and to start and end well. Could it be that I still want to learn from Wu Meiniang's hen Si Chen? Now that the emperor has ascended the throne, the overall situation has been decided. At this time, he can take the initiative to move out of the Ganqing Palace and still be able to maintain glory and wealth. It is not difficult to start and end well. If he doesn't love, the emperor will become an adult in two years. When the old accounts are turned on, he will be afraid that his life will be difficult to save!..."

Wei Zhongxian's eyes became brighter as soon as he heard this, and he said excitedly: "The Marquis is really a god! No wonder it is said that the Marquis is a god descending to earth! If the Marquis says this, this matter will be accomplished! I will go to see the Selected Empress!..."

Li Xuanshi was not a very knowledgeable woman. She was inspired by the instigation of someone who was interested and had an unreasonable thought. Therefore, Wei Zhongxian was shocked when he learned Guo Zhiyuan's words. She had no knowledge anymore. She still knew the story of Wu Meiniang. How could she afford to put such a big hat on her? The more she thought about it, the more she felt that Wei Zhongxian was right, and finally agreed to move out of the Ganqing Palace on his own initiative!

In this way, under the stirring of Guo Zhiyuan, the confusing "palace transfer case" in history finally ended early! Guo Zhiyuan's outstanding performance in the whole incident also made the ministers look at him with admiration. Even the chief assistant Fang Congzhe said: "This time the emperor can successfully ascend the throne, and Lord Guo will be the first to be the best!"

However, Guo Zhiyuan was very humble and waved his hands repeatedly, "This time the emperor was able to ascend the throne successfully by the Chief Secretary and all the masters. How dare the subordinates take credit for it?!" Guo Zhiyuan's humble attitude made the ministers' impression of him a lot better. Even the Donglin Party members who have always targeted him felt that he was not completely worthless and did not like him so much.

Only Yang Lian lost the bet and was embarrassed. He walked to Guo Zhiyuan with a blushing face and bowed and said, "Student Yang Lian has seen the teacher!"

Guo Zhiyuan hurriedly supported Yang Lian and smiled and said, "It's just a joke, why should Lord Yang take it seriously!"

Yang Lian's sudden force was offended again and said seriously: "A gentleman promises a thousand gold, how can he joke?! Students will salute the teacher when they see the teacher. At most... at most, I will take a detour when I see you!..." After that, he stomped his feet and ran away as if he ran away.

Seeing Yang Lian's embarrassing look, the ministers burst into laughter. Only Guo Zhiyuan looked at Yang Lian's back and smiled. The bet he made with Yang Lian was actually of profound meaning. He did not want this righteous fighter with a strong backbone to repeat the tragedy of history and die in prison. Such a person is the backbone of the Chinese nation. If he wants to save the fate of the nation, he must first save such a backbone of the nation!

The court officials were busy organizing the funeral of Emperor Taichang. Guo Zhiyuan couldn't get involved in this kind of thing. He had the chief minister Fang Congzhe and the Minister of Rites Sun Ruyou and others to worry about it. Guo Zhiyuan didn't want to get involved. He had already made a big splash in the "palace transfer case". At this time, he would be jealous of his performance. Strictly speaking, he is not a Beijing official, but a local official, and he is not qualified to get involved in this matter. Therefore, he has been living in the old house of the Guo family these days. Except for the day when Emperor Taichang was told to go to the funeral, he has been waiting for news from the Ministry of Personnel.

Before the news from the Ministry of Personnel came, the eunuch in the palace came. A little eunuch came early in the morning to summon Guo Zhiyuan to the palace to meet the saint. Guo Zhiyuan asked his followers to send silver notes to the summoned eunuch, but the eunuch waved his hands like he was scalded and said, "Mr. Hou must not kill the little slave. If Eunuch Li knows that he must give the little slave's legs! Eunuch Li said, everything about the marquis must be taken care of..."

Guo Zhiyuan raised his eyebrows. Wei Zhongxian was really amazing. He had only been putting a little eunuch next to Emperor Tianqi in just a few days. He waved his hand and smiled: "My father-in-law just hold it. I won't tell Eunuch Li. My father-in-law often serves by the emperor. I will inevitably trouble my father-in-law in the future..."

The little eunuch then collected the silver notes and smiled charmingly: "The emperor has asked Mr. Hou several times these days. Is this? As soon as the emperor's funeral was finished, he immediately asked the slave to summon the marquis. The marquis's fortunes were of course the first! In the future, I have to ask the marquis to take care of the slave!..."
