Infinite Battle

Chapter 164 Hongmen Banquet

It was getting dark, Jiang Shanghou was at the entrance of the Four Seasons Garden, and the surrounding Jinyiwei entered the palace to guard the surroundings of the Four Seasons Garden. Tonight, Jiang Shang had already discussed with Zhu Youjian several times, and it was the first time he saw Zhu Youjian behind the scenes. The tip of the power iceberg.

Earlier, Jiang Shang had suspected Zhu Youjian's background, except for the Donglin Party and Zhu Youjian's own background. Although Jiang Shang had never seen the existence of these people since Jiang Shang took refuge in him, since Zhu Youjian had planned for so long , It is normal to have your own team.

And after the ascension to the throne was confirmed, Zhu Youjian brought Jiang Shang to meet his team. Jiang Shang himself had no idea about this approach. Whether Zhu Youjian used it or didn't trust him, it didn't hinder him. He Jiang Shang, as long as the official function is successfully obtained, Jiang Shang will not care about what Zhu Youjian does.

Shaking his head and interrupting his thoughts, Jiang Shang looked at Wei Zhongxian and others walking from the courtyard, with a smile on his face, and hurried over.

"Master."

Wei Zhongxian glanced at Jiang Shang, then looked at the Jinyiwei around the Four Seasons Garden, with a smile on his face, originally he was afraid that something would happen at the banquet tonight, but at this moment, when he saw Jiang Shang with With so many Jin Yiwei entering the palace, he was sure of it.

"Jiang Shang, what happened to these Jin Yiwei?"

"If you go back to the factory, I'm afraid that there will be problems at the banquet tonight, so I brought these guards into the palace for safety reasons."

"That's right, I've made up my mind."

Hearing Wei Zhongxian's praise, Jiang Shang quickly knelt down on one knee, punched Wei Zhongxian, and said in a deep voice.

"It is the duty of a humble job to worry about the company's public share."

Looking at Jiang Shang's loyal appearance, Wei Zhongxian smiled even more.

"Get up."

"yes."

Jiang Shang stood up and let Wei Zhongxian and others go to the Four Seasons Garden. Looking at the backs of Wei Zhongxian and the others, Jiang Shang smiled.

Groups of officials arrived, but they were led to sit separately by the eunuchs in the palace. Wei Zhongxian's eunuchs were all taken to the left seats, while the Donglin faction who came later were taken to the right.

Regarding Zhu Youjian's arrangement, Wei Zhongxian and Ge Lao didn't say anything, they just looked at each other and smiled, and they all sat down safely.

With all the officials present,

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youjian arrived belatedly, and accompanied by a cabinet scholar, he came to the Four Seasons Garden.

Seeing Zhu Youjian's arrival, all the people got up quickly and saluted Zhu Youjian.

"I'm waiting to pay my respects to the emperor."

With a smile on his face, Zhu Youjian nodded to the crowd, and then walked towards the upper position on the steps amidst the salutes of the crowd.

"Sit down, everyone, don't be so restrained."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for giving me your seat."

When all the people were seated, Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youjian looked at the officials below, with a smile on his face, and whispered something to the eunuch beside him.

The eunuch bypassed the people in the courtyard and headed outside. When he passed Jiang Shang at the door, he made a subtle gesture to Jiang Shang.

Jiang Shang rolled his eyes at the eunuch who left. Zhu Youjian had been thinking about it for so long. The more Jiang Shang saw these days, the more he understood that even if Zhu Youjian didn't have Jiang Shang's help, Wei Zhongxian would probably Neither the Donglin Party nor the Donglin Party could escape the fate of being liquidated in the end.

I thought that many things only appeared after Jiang Shang participated, but now it seems that Jiang Shang's participation is just to make Zhu Youjian's plan more smooth.

Thinking of this, Jiang Shang stopped his thoughts, this is not the time to think about these things, the Hongmen Banquet has already been set up, Wei Zhongxian has already entered the set, and now he is waiting for Zhu Youjian to issue orders.

Jiang Shang walked outside, found the Jin Yiwei he brought this time, and told the hundred households in front of him to come

"Tell the other brothers to go down and guard all the exits, and no one is allowed to come in."

"Don't worry, my lord."

After the hundred households finished speaking, they ran outside. Jiang Shang looked at the departing hundred households. These people were all Jinyiwei carefully selected by Jiang Shang during this period of time. Most of them were unwelcome people in Jinyiwei , was brought in by Jiang Shang and promoted.

In the early Jinyiwei, most of the important positions were held by incompetent people, but after Jiang Shang took over Beizhen Fusi, he changed the people in the yamen, both openly and secretly.

Although Wei Zhongxian was well aware of what Jiang Shang was doing, he did not interfere. After all, Jiang Shang did his best. No matter how you say it, he could be regarded as a general under Wei Zhongxian's hands. He gained the real power of a yamen, and it is understandable to integrate it.

And Jiang Shang, after probing, saw that Wei Zhongxian didn't respond, so he cleaned up all the people in Fusi Yamen in Beizhen, and promoted some Jinyiwei who wanted to get ahead but had no connections and were still at the bottom.

These people have been around for so long, and they are not ordinary old fritters. After Jiang Shang promised a lot of money, they were not loyal, but their ambitions were not small, so they all invested in Jiang Shang's command, hoping that Jiang Shang could lead them to the top.

Glancing at all the ministers in the inner courtyard, Jiang Shangshou did not go in at the door. Although he was lucky enough to take advantage of Wei Zhongxian's face today to participate in Zhu Youjian's ascension to the throne, Jiang Shang is not qualified to enter the banquet in the Four Seasons Garden at this time.

With Zhu Youjian's order in front of him, Jiang Shang just hid for a while, watching the ministers inside, under Zhu Youjian's compliment and under the leadership of Wei Zhongxian and Ge Lao, a scene of joy and harmony.

There were footsteps behind him, Jiang Shang looked back, and it was the little eunuch who had left earlier, who was holding a bottle of wine in his hand, as if it had just been taken out of a wine cellar elsewhere. The dirt is in.

"Stop, what is this?"

Jiang Shang asked knowingly, blocked the little eunuch, and asked even more in his mouth.

"My lord, this is a rare wine brought by the emperor, and I said that I want to invite all my lords to taste it."

"Elder-in-law, please pour a glass for me to try the poison."

Regarding Jiang Shang's rude request, the little eunuch also showed embarrassment, faltering and refusing to pour the wine, which made Jiang Shang's face darken, and asked

"Your Majesty is with so many adults today, why don't you let me do a drug test?"

Facing Jiang Shang's questioning, the eunuch also trembled, quickly fell to his knees, raised the tray in his hand, and faced Jiang Shang.

"My lord misunderstood, the little one didn't mean that, it's just that the wine was ordered by His Majesty, so it's not easy for the young one to make decisions."

The conversation between the two at the door was naturally seen by Zhu Youjian and others inside. Wei Zhongxian watched Jiang Shang's movements at the door, his face darkened, and asked Jiang Shang:

"Jiang Qianhu, what's going on?"

As soon as Jiang Shang heard Wei Zhongxian's voice behind him, he quickly turned around and knelt down on one knee, cupping his fists and saluting.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Chang, this father-in-law brought over a bottle of precious wine. For the safety of His Majesty and Mr. Chang, I want to test whether the wine is poisonous."

Hearing Jiang Shang's words, Wei Zhongxian's face turned darker, with anger in his tone,

"Get out of the way, His Majesty invited me to wait, can you still make me wait?"

"Master, Your Majesty won't, but..."

"Shut up!!!"

Wei Zhongxian turned his head to look at Zhu Youjian, seeing that Zhu Youjian's face was not good-looking, he got up and bowed to Zhu Youjian.

"Your Majesty, the people under my lord don't understand etiquette, please don't blame me, Your Majesty."

"Wei Gong is joking, this Jiang Qianhu is also for my safety, what is the crime? Such a loyal person is really rare, and he should be rewarded."

Zhu Youjian showed a smile on his face, looked at Jiang Shang at the door, and smiled

"Jiang Qianhu is so loyal, let's test it. How can someone who is so loyal under Duke Wei get the position of Qianhu?"
