Wei Zhongxian also knew that things had come to this point and there was no point in regretting it, so he had to find a solution.
The simplest and most effective way is to get rid of Luo Sigong and replace the Jinyiwei commander with his own confidant.
In this way, the Jinyiwei was in his hands. At that time, with the Jinyiwei and the East Factory in his hands, Chen Hong naturally could not stir up any trouble.
Or he could simply overthrow Chen Hong. Without the support from the palace, Luo Sigong would naturally be at his mercy.
However, Wei Zhongxian also knew at this time that this matter was not easy to handle.
The Jinyiwei has now found Chen Kedao, and His Majesty trusts him just now, so there is nothing he can do.
If I force myself to slander him, the emperor might get tired of me.
As for Chen Hong, it was even more difficult to deal with him. That guy already had the Emperor's trust, and now he had the support of the Imperial Guards.
Chen Kedao handled this matter well, so Chen Hong naturally had the confidence to do so, and the emperor would certainly trust him more.
Wei Zhongxian couldn't help feeling annoyed as he couldn't figure it out no matter how he thought about it.
Do we have to wait until they become big?
Although he knew that things were impossible to do now, Wei Zhongxian was also worried that if the problem was not solved now, it would be more difficult to solve it in the future.
But there was no good solution for the time being, so how could he not be annoyed?
Sun Yunhe, who was standing aside, was also thinking constantly at this time.
Seeing Wei Zhongxian's face becoming increasingly ugly, he felt that he should say something, otherwise Wei Zhongxian would take his anger out on him. Who had he offended?
Glancing at Wei Zhongxian, Sun Yunhe said cautiously, "Governor, I have an idea."
After hearing what Sun Yunhe said, Wei Zhongxian was stunned.
Although Sun Yunhe was his confidant, Wei Zhongxian knew very well what kind of person Sun Yunhe was.
Arresting someone, forcing a confession through torture, and framing someone—none of these things could faze Sun Yunhe. But when it came to strategizing, he was a complete brute.
What can he do?
Wei Zhongxian took a look at Sun Yunhe and was startled to see him looking at him cautiously.
He knew that his emotions affected his subordinates, which was not good.
If you appear cowardly, your subordinates will inevitably become discouraged and may even become alienated from you.
Now he has no way to deal with the Jinyiwei and Chen Hong, but he cannot let the internal situation become chaotic.
Thinking of this, Wei Zhongxian regained his serious expression and said softly, "Say whatever you want to say."
"Yes, Governor." Sun Yunhe agreed when he saw Wei Zhongxian regain his composure. Then, feeling more confident, he said, "Governor, in my humble opinion, this matter is both difficult and simple. You are currently handling the Donglin Party case, in charge of the East Factory, and have the trust of His Majesty. This already puts you in an invincible position. All you need now is how to make His Majesty rely on you more and distance yourself from the Embroidered Uniform Guard."
After pondering for a moment, Wei Zhongxian nodded.
He didn't expect that what Sun Yunhe said made sense, but reason alone was useless, he still needed to find another way.
Wei Zhongxian's tone softened considerably, and he asked directly, "Do you have any ideas?"
"Lord Governor, the solution is very simple." Sun Yunhe smiled flatteringly and lowered his voice, "In my humble opinion, this is nothing more than a fight for favor. Whoever can gain more trust from His Majesty will gain more."
"To gain His Majesty's trust, all you have to do is do things well."
Seeing Wei Zhongxian glaring, Sun Yunhe quickly said, "Whatever they can do, we can do too. And not only should we do it better than them, we should do it faster than them. Didn't they find a Chen Kedao? We can also find a Li Kedao."
"That Chen Kedao was Li Zhi's student. We can also find someone, one of Li Zhi's fellow disciples. Anyone will do, as long as they understand Li Zhi's teachings. If one person isn't enough, then find two."
"If two people aren't enough, then find a few more. As long as we do better than over there, why worry that His Majesty won't be close to the Governor? Once you gain His Majesty's trust, the Governor can accomplish anything he wants."
After hearing Sun Yunhe's words, Wei Zhongxian's eyes lit up.
He glanced at Sun Yunhe with appreciation, laughed, and said, "Not bad, not bad, you have some ideas. I'll find someone to do it right away."
Seeing Sun Yunhe looking at him expectantly, Wei Zhongxian knew that he wanted to take on this job.
But Wei Zhongxian did not dare to give him this task.
There is no other reason, Sun Yunhe's reputation is simply too bad.
If we leave it to him, not only will he fail to get things done, but it may also backfire.
If I can do this well, it will be a great achievement. If I fail, it will be a great disgrace. How will His Majesty view me?
Wei Zhongxian did not dare to take this risk.
However, Sun Yunhe had given him some advice, so Wei Zhongxian couldn't just kick him out. He could only soothe him gently, saying, "The Donglin Party's case cannot be separated from you. You don't need to get involved in this matter."
"But don't worry, it was you who came up with the idea, and we won't forget you. You have contributed a lot here, and when it's done, we will definitely reward you handsomely."
Sun Yunhe wanted to argue a few more times, but when he saw Wei Zhongxian's serious face, he knew in his heart that he had no chance.
It’s better not to say anything more, otherwise it will only make my father-in-law hate me.
Thinking of this, Sun Yunhe quickly bowed and said, "Don't worry, sir. I understand."
Seeing Sun Yunhe being so sensible, Wei Zhongxian nodded in satisfaction and said with a smile, "That's the best."
Leaving Sun Yunhe to continue the trial, Wei Zhongxian left the East Factory.
He is ready to take care of this matter.
Each party has its own plans, and the entire capital is in turmoil.
But in the Forbidden City, the atmosphere is still harmonious and beautiful.
In particular, everyone knows one thing, that is, this palace is about to welcome its mistress.
After several rounds of screening, the queen's selection finally entered the final round.
Zhu Youxiao looked at the eunuch Li Huan who came to deliver the message, with no expression on his face.
Zhu Youxiao glanced at the business card handed to him by Li Huan and saw a familiar person at a glance.
Zhang Yan.
Her courtesy name was Zu'e and her nickname was Baozhu. She was from Xiangfu, Henan Province, and her father was Zhang Guoji.
After just a glance at the brief introduction, Zhu Youxiao knew who this person was.
This is the empress of Emperor Tianqi in history - the famous Empress Yi'an.
I didn't expect that she would be chosen in the end. It's quite interesting.
After seeing this name, Zhu Youxiao knew that his queen had been chosen.
It’s not because there was anything special about Zhu Youxiao, but because according to historical records, Empress Zhang did a good job.
Moreover, after Li Zicheng captured Beijing, Empress Zhang hanged herself.
In the end, there were only three candidates left for the queen, and neither of them knew the other two.
in this way,
It's you.
Queen Zhang!
