At this moment, Huang Jing's face was filled with fear. Everything that had just happened had really scared this current cabinet elder to death.
He was painting in the study at home and was sighing that he had completed another masterpiece that had been handed down for generations when he suddenly felt his vision darken.
Cao Zhengchun had actually appeared in his study. He knew Cao Zhengchun, so he was only surprised, but not terrified.
This was because he and Wei Zhongxian were allies.
"Milord, our Governor invites you."
Cao Zhengchun said respectfully. Huang Jing nodded. He guessed the same.
"I know. How did you get in?”
Cao Zhengchun didn't say anything, and Huang Jing was speechless. He was Wei Zhongxian's man, so Huang Jing couldn't say anything.
"Forget it, forget it. I'll get someone to prepare the carriage.”
Huang Jing waved his hand. At this moment, Cao Zhengchun remembered that before he left, Wei Zhongxian had instructed him to secretly take Huang Jing away.
"Sir, there is no need to prepare the carriage. Please close your eyes.”
Huang Jing was stunned, not understanding what he wanted to do.
Cao Zhengchun actually carried Huang Jing on his shoulder.
Cao Zhengchun rushed back to the Governor's Mansion.
Only then did the scene just now happen. Huang Jing finally came back to his senses.
He walked up to Cao Zhengchun and was about to curse.
Wei Zhongxian suddenly appeared in front of him and looked at him with a smile.
"Lord Huang, please forgive me for offending you!”
Huang Jing's expression was still very ugly. He was about to scold Wei Zhongxian when Wei Zhongxian suddenly turned around and looked at Cao Zhengchun.
"Go to the punishment area and receive thirty strokes of the cane to avenge Lord Huang!”
Wei Zhongxian shouted at Cao Zhengchun angrily, and Cao Zhengchun left.
Only then did Huang Jing's expression look a little better.
After Cao Zhengchun left, he was dumbfounded. Since when did the Governor's Mansion have a Punishment Division?
"Lord Wei, why did you use this method to invite me here?”
Huang Jing spoke indifferently, his tone still carrying traces of displeasure.
"Lord Huang, please have a seat first.”
After saying that, Wei Zhongxian invited Huang Jing to his seat and poured him a cup of tea.
The room was instantly filled with the fragrance of tea. Huang Jing usually did not like wine, but good tea. Such a tea fragrance made him throw the last trace of unhappiness in his heart to the back of his mind.
Taking a light sip, Huang Jing suddenly felt that the tea he drank in the past was called tea?
"Good tea, good tea!"
After Huang Jing praised her, he couldn't help but take a few more sips.
Wei Zhongxian chuckled as he looked at Huang Jing. This country bumpkin. He had only awakened the fragrance of the tea leaves and he was already like this.
"If Lord Huang likes it, bring more when you leave. These tea leaves were personally fried by Zhongxian.”
Huang Jing was shocked and immediately rejoiced.
"I didn't expect Lord Wei to be such an expert. Haha, when I leave, I will definitely bring some back.”
"May I know why Lord Wei is looking for me?”
Huang Jing spoke again. He was very curious as to why Wei Zhongxian had invited him here in such a manner.
"Lord Huang, don't you realize that you're about to be in trouble?”
Wei Zhongxian finished the tea in his cup and smiled at Huang Jing.”
Huang Jing was stunned, and the tea in his hand almost spilled all over the floor.
"What does Lord Wei mean?”
Huang Jing quickly regained his composure. Just his shrewdness alone made Wei Zhongxian look up to him.
"Lord Huang, what do you think of the current situation in the court?”
Huang Jing was stunned, and his eyes immediately narrowed.
"Lord Wei, there's no need to keep me in suspense. Please enlighten me.”
Wei Zhongxian smiled and took out a name list from behind him.
He handed the name list to Huang Jing with a smile. Huang Jing took it and looked at Wei Zhongxian questioningly.
"Lord Huang should understand after reading it. Please take a look.”
The current Great Ming still governed the world with six departments, which were the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Personnel, and the Ministry of Works.
Each department is headed by the minister, followed by the assistant minister.
What Wei Zhongxian showed Huang Jing was the official handbook of the current six ministries.
However, Wei Zhongxian had made some remarks, such as Li Sancai, Zuo Guangdou, Zhao Nanxing, and other members of the Donglin Party.
There was also a small group of people who were marked by Wei Zhongxian's yellow pen. These people…were Huang Jing's students and old friends!
After Huang Jing received the name list, he actually became more and more shocked the more he read, and a layer of cold sweat gradually rose on his forehead.
Wei Zhongxian looked at Huang Jing's expression and smiled.
"Has Lord Huang noticed anything amiss?"
Huang Jing didn't say anything, but his eyes were a little frightened. He lowered his head and took another sip of tea.
Wei Zhongxian smiled. He was very happy about Huang Jing's silence. This meant that this old fox was afraid.
"Hehe, if Milord doesn't say anything, Zhongxian will continue.”
Huang Jing still didn't say anything, but his eyes were fixed on Wei Zhongxian.
"Currently, half of the six departments have fallen into the hands of the Donglin Party. Lord Huang has many students and old friends who occupy many positions in the six departments.”
"Lord Huang and the Donglin Party did not have a good relationship previously. From the matter of his beloved disciple Li Lang, it is not difficult to see that the position of Minister of Revenue has now fallen to Cao Man.”
Speaking up to here, the corners of Huang Jing's mouth began to twitch.
However, Wei Zhongxian had no intention of stopping. He looked at the silent Huang Jing and continued to speak.
" As far as I know, the Donglin Party is not tolerant. They want to turn the court into a place where only one person can speak. As the Minister, you have many ears and eyes in the six ministries. Moreover, you have a grudge with the Donglin Party, so..."
Wei Zhongxian deliberately kept Huang Jing in suspense, smiling as he looked at the somewhat flustered Huang Jing.
"So…this old man is now a thorn in the Dong Lin Party's side.”
Pa, pa, pa…
Wei Zhongxian clapped and nodded.
"What does Lord Huang think? The Donglin Party would not allow another voice to be heard in the court. The political game had always been cruel. There was no need to say much about the loser, Zhongxian. Lord Huang should also know.”
Huang Jing stood up. His heart was already in a mess.
"So Lord Wei came to find me out of kindness to tell me that I'm in trouble?”
Wei Zhongxian shook his head and stood up.
"What does Lord Huang think?"
Huang Jing stared fixedly at Wei Zhongxian, and Wei Zhongxian also looked at Huang Jing with a smile.
Wei Zhongxian spoke first with a smile in his eyes.
"I'm the only one who can save you now.”
Wei Zhongxian's voice sounded, his tone was full of doubt.
