From beginning to end, Zhu Qiyu had never forgotten that the system was his greatest source of confidence.
Without the system, the situation he was facing now would definitely be ten times more difficult, or even more.
"Ding dong!"
"Congratulations to the host for signing in successfully and obtaining the character Wei Zhongxian.”
The system's voice sounded in Zhu Qiyu's mind.
"Wei Zhongxian?"
Zhu Qiyu was stunned when he heard this, and a strange expression appeared on his face.
Wei Zhongxian was a person that had been controversial throughout history.
Some people said that he was a treacherous official with power, while others said that he had shouldered the tottering Ming Dynasty.
Looking at history, one thing was undeniable. Without Wei Zhongxian, the Ming Dynasty quickly fell apart. In the end, the Qing Dynasty was able to break through and occupy the Central Plains.
Wei Zhongxian was indeed despicable, but he could suppress the Donglin Party and even get the soldiers at the border to pay the salary.
Zhu Qiyu did not expect that his second check-in would actually be able to obtain such a character.
However, because he was summoned by the system, Wei Zhongxian's loyalty was not a concern. He was 100% loyal.
A 100% loyal Wei Zhongxian would undoubtedly be of great help to Zhu Qiyu.
Wei Zhongxian was able to climb all the way up and leave a 9,000-year-old reputation in history. There was no doubt about his ability.
"I, Wei Zhongxian, pay my respects to Your Highness!”
A plump eunuch walked in front of Zhu Qiyu and respectfully knelt down.
Zhu Qiyu looked up at Wei Zhongxian and waved his hand."Get up!"
The Wei Zhongxian in front of him was exactly the same as in the movies. He had a kind and honest appearance. No one would think that he was extremely ruthless when they saw him.
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Wei Zhongxian stood up and stood respectfully at the side.
Zhu Qiyu thought to himself that Wei Zhongxian's appearance could help him.
For example, making money!
War required money. A cannon could cost ten thousand taels of gold.
Wei Zhongxian, who was nine thousand years old, didn't need much explanation for his methods of accumulating wealth. He was definitely an expert among experts.
"Wangye, the food is ready. Should we bring it over now?”
Cheng Jing walked over and asked Zhu Qiyu.
All the dishes had been specially tasted and tested with silver needles to ensure that they were not poisonous.
"Bring it up!"
Zhu Qiyu waved his hand.
Wei Zhongxian's matter could be discussed later. He was starving now, so he had to eat first.
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Cheng Jing nodded and shouted towards the outside of the hall,"Bring the dishes up!"
In the next moment, he noticed Wei Zhongxian standing beside Zhu Qiyu. His eyes froze and he was shocked."Where did this little eunuch come from? Why don't I have any impression of him?”
At the same time, he was extremely wary of Wei Zhongxian.
There were only him and Xing An in King Hun's estate. Now, Xing An had been sent by Zhu Qiyu to protect Consort Wu Xian, the Wang family, and the Hang family. He had thought that he would become the ancestor of a group of eunuchs in the palace. He did not expect that another eunuch of unknown origin would suddenly appear.
Cheng Jing's intuition told him that this fat eunuch of unknown origin would become a formidable opponent in the future.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Exquisite dishes were served one after another.
Zhu Qiyu didn't waste any time and started eating. He had no choice. He was really starving.
...
Half an hour later!
Zhu Qiyu was full of wine and food. He lay down comfortably and stretched out his hand to Wei Zhongxian. He said to Cheng Jing,"Cheng Jing, let me introduce you. This is Wei Zhongxian.”
"Eunuch Cheng!"
Wei Zhongxian smiled and greeted Cheng Jing warmly.
Since it was Zhu Qiyu who introduced him, Cheng Jing did not dare to be arrogant. He smiled and replied to Wei Zhongxian,""Eunuch Wei!"
Zhu Qiyu looked at Wei Zhongxian and said,""Wei Zhongxian, the Wala army is heading south. As the saying goes, the emperor doesn't lack hungry soldiers. I have decided to give all the soldiers guarding the city three times the amount of silver, but the money has not been found yet.”
After eating and drinking, it was time to talk about business.
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Wei Zhongxian didn't even think about it and nodded in agreement.
Cheng Jing's heart sank when he saw this.”
He knew very well that Zhu Qiyu wanted to raise a huge amount of money, and Wei Zhongxian was also very clear about this. However, under such circumstances, Wei Zhongxian still agreed without a second word. This person was either a showman or very powerful.
In comparison, he was more inclined to the latter. After all, if Wei Zhongxian was just a showman, why would Zhu Qiyu hand over the matter of raising silver to him?
He had met his match!
"Alright, this king will be waiting for your good news.”
"Cheng Jing, bring Wei Zhongxian to the East Chamber. From today onwards, Wei Zhongxian will be the East Chamber's Chamber Duke.”
Zhu Qiyu smiled. As expected of Wei Zhongxian. No wonder he could become nine thousand years old.
Not to mention anything else, this attitude made people feel very comfortable. When they encountered difficulties, the first thing they did was not complain to the leader, but to think of ways to solve it. Which leader did not like such a subordinate?
No wonder Zhu Youxiao was focused on carpentry, but Da Ming could barely maintain it.
Cheng Jing looked deeply at Wei Zhongxian and said lightly,"Eunuch Wei, please follow me."
Although it was the first time they met, he knew that Wei Zhongxian would not be simple in the future. He was very sure of this.
"Your Highness, I will take my leave!"
Wei Zhongxian bowed to Zhu Qiyu and turned to leave with Cheng Jing.
Zhu Qiyu looked at Wei Zhongxian's back as he left, and his gaze became deep.""With Wei Zhongxian taking action, we can temporarily put aside the matter of money. It's time to increase the strength of the Imperial City's guards.”
During this time, after the mobilization of Yu Qian, Wang Zhi, and the others, soldiers and horses from all over the Ming Dynasty rushed to Beijing to prepare to resist the invasion of the Wala army.
With more people, their strength would be uneven. They had to complete the integration as soon as possible. Otherwise, no matter how many people there were, they would only be a plate of loose sand.
......
East Chamber!
Cheng Jing looked at Wei Zhongxian with a fake smile."Congratulations, Eunuch Wei, for becoming the East Chamber's Chamber Master!”
Without Zhu Qiyu watching, he was too lazy to pretend to be polite with Wei Zhongxian and directly revealed his true colors.
There were only a few seats. If Wei Zhongxian occupied them, then he would be gone.
Although Cheng Jing's target wasn't the East Hall, he still had his subordinates. The East Hall was already in his hands. Now that it had been snatched by Wei Zhongxian, it would be strange if he had a good expression.
"Congratulations, congratulations. Eunuch Cheng, if you're not happy, feel free to protest to His Highness.”
Wei Zhongxian retorted calmly.
Although he looked honest, he was not a pushover. Since Cheng Jing had expressed his hostility, he would not indulge him.
