"Eunuch Zhang, this is the emperor's decree."
"It won't take long, not to mention... I won't run."
The eunuch thought for a while: "Okay, then we'll wait for you in the yard, hurry up."
Eunuch Zhang nodded and entered the Buddhist hall.
On the fragrance!
Knock bye!
This came out.
His eyes were very calm, and there was no fear in his eyes.
As far as he is concerned at this moment, he has seen through life and death!
After a stick of incense.
The man was taken to a pavilion.
Wei Yi prepared good wine and food to wait for him.
"See Your Majesty."
Eunuch Zhang was about to kneel, but was immediately stopped by Wei Yi.
"No need to be polite." Wei Yi greeted him with a smile, pointed his hand to the side, and said, "Eunuch Zhang, come, sit!"
"Old slave dare not."
"There are no monarchs and ministers today, let alone lord slaves, only you and me." Wei Yi emphasized deliberately, and then said to a few eunuchs, "You all go down."
"Yes."
All the eunuchs and palace maids withdrew.
There are only two people left, Wei Yi and Zhang Gonggong.
Eunuch Zhang sat down.
But kept his head down.
"I still remember that the last time I saw Eunuch Zhang was probably in March. It's been a long time since the blink of an eye."
"The old slave has been staying in the Buddhist hall. The emperor is in charge of every day, and the old slave does not dare to disturb him."
"What are you talking about? Eunuch Zhang is a popular man around the late emperor. He is trusted by the late emperor. He is also an old man in this palace. Even I have to respect you a little bit." Wei Yi said.
Eunuch Zhang lowered his head again: "Old slave dare not, in front of the emperor, after all, he is just a slave."
Wei Yi smiled, picked up his chopsticks, put a piece of meat into his bowl, and said, "If I can have a loyal person like you, Eunuch Zhang, it should be a blessing."
Eunuch Zhang looked at the meat in the bowl and said quickly, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
"There is no one else here today. I have something... I want to ask you."
In the end, still got to the point.
Eunuch Zhang is not a fool, he knows it in his heart.
"The emperor asks."
"But I asked, will you tell me?"
"Then it depends on what the emperor asked."
Wei Yi smiled, raised the jug again, and poured a glass of wine into Eunuch Zhang's glass.
Wine poured into the glass.
Glow!
Very cold! Wei Yi said with a confused tone: "I still remember the night when the first emperor died, there were Prince Rong, the imperial physician and several cabinet lords in the hall, as well as your father-in-law Zhang. Several cabinet ministers have paid out, only you are left. After a while, the Hanlin Academy's
Lord Shang went in, I just wanted to know... Why did Prince Rong keep you and announce Lord Shang again? What happened in the temple at that time? "
While speaking, Wei Yi also looked at Eunuch Zhang's expression.
But Eunuch Zhang's expression hasn't changed at all since he came in!
"If Eunuch Zhang knows, he must tell me."
"Is it important?"
"… "
Eunuch Zhang said, "No matter what happened in the temple at that time? Now, it doesn't make any sense."
Wei Yi got up and walked a few steps around the table, "I've always had a question in my heart, why did the first emperor pass the throne to me? Instead of King Rong? Why did you stay in the hall behind closed doors for three incense sticks? time?" Eunuch Zhang sighed and recalled: "When the late emperor died, everyone knelt on the ground, Rong Wang stood by the bed, the late emperor grabbed his hand and said over and over again, asking him to guard the country, To protect the people of Dalin, the old slave still can't forget the eyes of the late emperor at that time, every time I think of it, the old slave will
Remorse and guilt. "
"Why regret? Why feel guilty?"
"I regret everything, and I feel guilty about everything." Eunuch Zhang said vaguely.
And Wei Yi was also confused.
Although I thought it was very strange, I couldn't figure it out.
Where is the problem.
And this old slave clearly didn't want to tell him the truth.
Wei Yi's previous good words also took a few points, and his face was serious: "You know this is not what I want to hear."
"That's the only thing a slave can say!"
"Then why did Lord Shang go to see you today? Did you really go to see the famous person beside you, the late emperor? Or...is it related to the fact that you closed the temple door back then?"
"Master Shang came to find the old slave, it's just some old things."
"What an old story!"
Eunuch Zhang let out a long sigh, boldly met Wei Yi's stern but very sinister eyes, and said, "A long, long time ago... something from the past."
This seems to be a reminder.
Wei Yi frowned even tighter.
He said, "You talk about it, but you're still playing sloppy eyes with me. You didn't say what I wanted or what you knew!"
On the contrary, Eunuch Zhang smiled: "If the emperor was diligent in government and love the people, and concentrated on governing the government, he would not have come to ask these questions today."
"Are you accusing me?"
"Old slave doesn't dare, it's just that although people are in the Buddhist hall, they are still in this imperial city. I always hear something in my ears." Eunuch Zhang alluded to Wei Yi's disturbance of the imperial court.
Wei Yi was so angry that he squeezed his fist!
But this old guy is too shrewd, as shrewd as the previous emperor.
"As expected of the people around the late emperor, I understand what Eunuch Zhang said." After speaking, he pointed to the glass of wine, "Today I have the heart to invite you over here. This glass of wine... must not be wasted."
Somber tone!
Eunuch Zhang looked at the glass of wine in front of him, and smiled knowingly: "It's about time, the old slave has been in this palace for decades, and the flowers are not flowers, and how many years will there be? sadness."
After he finished speaking, he drank the glass of wine.
Without the slightest hesitation.
The wine is in the throat, cool and sour!
After watching him finish drinking, Wei Yi turned around and walked to the pavilion, unwilling to look at it.
I only heard Eunuch Zhang say: "The first emperor, this old slave... I'm here to accompany you."
The voice trembled!
After a while, there was a "dong" sound.
Eunuch Zhang fell to the ground.
There was a trace of sadness on Wei Yi's cold and hard face at the moment, but it was fleeting!
"Come on!" he called.
Several eunuchs came.
The eunuchs were startled when they saw Eunuch Zhang lying on the ground in the pavilion.
Very surprised.
"Your Majesty, this..."
People were still alive when they entered, so why are they dead now
And the emperor didn't seem surprised at all about this.
"Eunuch Zhang was so drunk that he died suddenly." Wei Yi said in a simple sentence.
Several eunuchs dare not doubt.
But a few more shrewd eunuchs saw the clues, this... is obviously Eunuch Zhang who was given death by the emperor!
Do you know how
After all, that's the king.
Even if there is something tricky here, they don't dare to talk too much.
Afterwards, Eunuch Zhang's body was dragged out.
And Wei Yi stood in the pavilion for a long time without returning to his senses. I don't know what I'm thinking about
