Chapter 340: Party before the New Year (2)

Since it was a banquet held by Eunuch Wei, in addition to the exquisite food, the performances of singers and dancers were naturally indispensable. The women dancing their soft waists in this small hall were red cards in the brothels and brothels in the capital. They worked hard to present their most beautiful side to these adults, hoping that these masters of the court can take a fancy to them and redeem themselves from the brothels, so that they can live a better life.

The officials were indeed attracted by these women with good sensuality and skills, and they all smiled at each other. They didn't dare to be too presumptuous because Wei Zhongxian was still on top. Tang Feng's eyes fell more on these officials. Judging from their appearance, they knew that none of them were upright people. It seemed that there was really no one in the eunuch party who could do things for the country.

Halfway through the drunkenness, Wei Zhongxian suddenly gave a wink to the servants around him. Under his arrangement, the singers and dancers stopped singing and dance and left the hall. After a while, only these backbone members of the eunuch party were left in the hall. Everyone quickly walked out of the sensual and sensuality just now, and all looked at the high-ranking Jiu Qiansui to see what he had to say.

"You are all smart people, so we won't say much about those extra words." Wei Zhongxian said with a warm smile: "In addition to asking you to gather together today, I want to discuss with you what to do next year."

"We will do whatever we ask you to do. Now everyone knows that Jiu Qiansui is a capable minister who is dedicated to the public..." Someone immediately spoke, and he spoke in a tide of flattery. Wei Zhongxian seemed to have become accustomed to his words. After he said a lot of unnutritious words, he interrupted his words: "Don't you understand what our family means?"

"Which is the person Sun?" Another person asked carefully.

Wei Zhongxian nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, it's him. As long as the days go by, the officials who sent the imperial edict to let Sun Chengzong return should have already arrived in Liaodong. When the imperial edict arrives, no matter how unwilling Sun Chengzong is, he must come back. What do you think we should treat him?"

"How to deal with him? He is an old man. Since he was brought back by the imperial edict and committed another crime, he naturally sent him home." This place is Wei Zhongxian's confidant, so everyone spoke very directly. But as soon as this person said it, he was blocked by others: "This Sun Chengzong is the most confidant of the emperor. This time Jiu Qiansui tried his best to transfer him from Liaodong. Do you think the emperor would let him die?"

"Since you can't do this, just use a strong one." Another person said, the fewer warriors in the eunuch party: "He returned from Liaodong and his route is fixed. Finally, he will take some people to kill him halfway."

Tang Feng was happy after hearing this man's words. Who is Sun Chengzong? How could he kill him just by wanting to kill him? And even if Wei Zhongxian had no scruples and could bear this consequence, they would not have enough elite troops to deal with the elite soldiers in Liaodong. When he thought of this, Tang Feng's mouth curled up.

Wei Zhongxian saw Tang Feng's smile and planned to let his confidant say something, and said, "Tang Feng, what do you think of this method?" Tang Feng sneered and said, "Nine Thousand Sui, this is forcing you to the dead. Who doesn't know that the elite soldiers in Liaodong are the best in the Ming Dynasty? Sun Chengzong is deeply loved by the soldiers there, so how could there be a thousand troops to follow? With these people in my capital, they can only be arrested."

The man shook his face as soon as he heard this: "Tang Feng, don't be ambitious to others. I, Xu Sanlun, don't believe in your style. What kind of elite troops in Liaodong, can he be as elite as the Jinyiwei? Nine Thousand Years old, as long as you agree, I will select troops and get Sun Laopin's head to you."

Before Tang Feng could speak, a person sitting on the top was already speaking: "Sanlun, don't be rude! Lord Tang has been in Liaodong for two years, and he knows much more clearly about the situation there than you. After all, the elite Jinyiwei guards want to protect the capital and all directions, so how can they move at will?" He was explicitly scolding Xu Sanlun, but in fact, this man also disagreed with Tang Feng's words.

Tang Feng was also an acquaintance, Xu Xianchun, the assistant of the Jinyiwei. It seemed that this person named Sanlun should be his nephew who had competed with Lu An for the position of the Thousand Houses. He looked quite majestic, but he was obviously a simple-minded person. So Tang Feng did not take his heart to their words, but continued to look at Wei Zhongxian to see how he decided.

Although Wei Zhongxian also wanted to eliminate his biggest opponent once and for all, he did not want to lose something because of a small loss. So he also said: "Tang Feng's words are reasonable, so don't mention this method. Is there any other way?"

"In fact, it is easy to deal with Sun Chengzong who has no military power. As long as we make a suggestion to the emperor, saying that he is old and physically, and is no longer enough to do those heavy government affairs. In addition, we must also send our own people to Liaodong as soon as possible to replace him. As long as our people are firmly in the position of Liaodong's governor, Sun Chengzong will naturally have no ability." The person who spoke was Wei Guangwei, which was also the idea he had thought of long ago.

Wei Zhongxian thought for a while and felt that what he was right. Although Sun Chengzong was also valued by the emperor, he was a foreign minister after all and could not be compared with himself. The more important reason why he could pose a threat to him was in terms of military power. If he could completely seize his military power, wouldn't this old man be the same?

Seeing that Wei Zhongxian was moved, Gu Bingqian was not willing to fall behind and said, "And we can also let the censors impeach him. Those people can even pick bones out of the eggs. I don't believe that Sun Chengzong really did nothing wrong. As long as he has enough strength, it is not easy for the emperor to let him hold any important positions. At that time, Sun Chengzong will have no way to go."

"Well, it's not bad. Killing people with this soft knife is much easier than assassinating him on the road. Let's do this according to this method and take the opportunity to drive Sun Chengzong back to his hometown. But... who should be here for this Liaodong governor?" Wei Zhongxian said as he looked at the people in the hall. This was a problem that had troubled them for a long time.

Although the Liaodong General holds heavy troops and is a first-rank official, it is too dangerous after all, and not everyone dares to sit. Those who are of similar ranks don't think about them at all, while others are not qualified, which makes everyone embarrassed. In fact, there is a suitable candidate here - Tang Feng, but for some reasons, they chose to ignore it. Tang Feng knew this very well, and he didn't want to go to Liaodong at this time, so that he would not be able to deal with these people who are harming the people in Beijing.

Suddenly, Tang Feng came up with an idea, and he said: "Nine thousand years old, the lower official can recommend one person, or temporarily serve as the position of Sun Chengzong, but his official position is not enough."

As soon as he said this, everyone felt nervous and thought he wanted to recommend himself. However, Wei Zhongxian could not find a good candidate at this time, so he asked, "Let me tell me."

"The person recommended by the lower officials is Yuan Chonghuan. He is from the same Jinshi as the third-class scholar. However, he is a Confucian general who is familiar with military books and is deeply trusted by Liaodong soldiers. However, his status is lower, and he is still Ning Qiandao now."

"Yuan Chonghuan? It seems that our family has heard his name somewhere." Wei Zhongxian said with some impression. Tang Feng continued to see this: "That should be the previous good news. The time the Xiaguan guarded Ningyuan City was with him. Ningyuan's soldiers dared not violate his orders at all. It was because of his support that Ningyuan City could block more than 100,000 Jin soldiers with 20,000 troops."

"So it's him." Wei Zhongxian remembered this. He did see the name of this person in the report of the request for merit, but because Tang Feng was his own, he put him aside. According to Tang Feng's meaning, this person should still be able to use troops, so he can indeed make use of it. Of course, more importantly, he has not succeeded yet. If he can promote him, this person will be used by himself, and then he can control the most elite troops of the Ming Dynasty in his hands through Yuan Chonghuan. As soon as he figured out these things, Wei Zhongxian's face immediately smiled: "Yes, the person you recommended can indeed take on this position. However, his current official position is too small. Our family will think of a way to let him get some promotion before handing over Liaodong to him to guard."

Everyone was very happy when the matter was resolved. Then they discussed how to pour sewage on Sun Chengzong. Tang Feng just watched coldly. He knew that the anti-elebrate action had reached an urgent point, but now it seemed that there was no way to attack the eunuch party, which made him feel even heavier.

In contrast to his mood, the eunuch party officials were in a very comfortable mood. Now the court was decided by them, and the bribes received were calculated in tens of thousands of taels. The final threat was almost over. In their opinion, everything was so wonderful that they just wanted to continue like this.

Soon, everyone got drunk. After accusing Wei Zhongxian, they left the Wei Mansion one by one, and Tang Feng also followed the crowd. After seeing the trouble outside the door, the smile on his face disappeared. He whispered: "Go and find Luo Qianhu of the Jinyiwei, and let him find me at the mansion later."

Although he didn't know why Tang Feng had to find someone in the middle of the night, he nodded and agreed to solve the problem, but before that, he still sent Tang Feng home first. Then he turned around and went to Luo Yangxing's residence. It was already the third day, and there were no people outside who bought New Year's Day items.
