"Spare?" Zhang Yan was even more suspicious, "My palace asked you to talk about the emperor's condition, why would you spare me?"
"Queen Empress," Li Sheng looked around, not seeing the little eunuch, "The Empress Empress had taken the minister's life, so the minister dared to say it."
"Okay, you say." Zhang Yan had a hunch, and she felt her scalp numb. She managed to stabilize her figure, "My palace will not blame you."
"Queen Empress, the day of the emperor's big trip is not far away! Empress Empress must prepare early." Li Shengzhi glanced at Zhang Yan, then lowered his head. He did not dare to look at Zhang Yan's eyes again.
"What are you talking about?" Petite Zhang Yan stepped forward and grabbed Li Sheng by the collar. "Dare you curse the emperor?"
"How can the slave dare to curse the emperor and deceive the empress?" Li Sheng was so frightened that he cried. "The diagnosis was confirmed ten days ago in the Taiyuan Hospital, and Duke Wei already knew about it."
Zhang Yan let go of her little hand weakly, her eyes suddenly hollowed out, and her mind went blank. After a long time, he returned to the bedroom of Zhu You school in a daze.
Zhu Youxiao is still asleep. Zhang Yan sent away all the little eunuchs and sat alone on Zhu Youxiao’s bedside, looking closely at Zhu Youxiao’s face.
Zhu Youxiao's eye sockets were slightly sunken, and his face was also deformed. Zhang Yan stretched out her index finger and gently stroked Zhu Youxiao's face. She couldn't help but startled: the depression of her finger was not restored.
Puffiness on the face is a symbol of the end of life.
Only then did Zhang Yan believe Li Sheng's words, she cursed in her heart: This Wei Eunuch actually concealed the emperor's condition from the palace.
…
Wei Mansion, inner study room.
Wei Zhongxian sat alone on the jujube chair of the main seat. Since he was convinced that the emperor's grand tour was not far away, he has been thinking about the heir to the throne. Zhu Youxiao has no children, and Zhu Youjian is most likely to inherit the throne. However, judging from Zhu Youjian's recent series of actions, I am afraid that it is not like Zhu Youxiao who ignores state affairs and control is very difficult.
"Nine thousand years old, people are coming." The butler knocked gently on the door.
"Let him come in!" Wei Zhongxian's voice was dark and terrifying in this empty interior.
"Yes, nine thousand years old." The butler stepped back, and a man appeared at the door, tall, strong, with eagle-eyed eyebrows and a tiger-nosed nose, not angry or pretentious.
The housekeeper took the door and went out, and the visitor knelt down in front of Wei Zhongxian's seat: "The child pays homage to his father."
"Ergeng, get up!" Wei Zhongxian's tone was as soft as possible.
"Yes, my father." Tian Ergeng sat down on a low chair.
"Er Geng, sit closer. Let our family take a good look at you." Wei Zhongxian's sharp voice pierced the air in the quiet room.
Tian Ergeng had to move his seat and sat down five steps in front of Wei Zhongxian. The five steps are a safe distance, and non-direct descendants are not allowed to approach. He looked at Wei Zhongxian, not knowing which one Wei Zhongxian played tonight.
"Er Geng, how does our family treat you on weekdays?" Wei Zhongxian said coldly.
The atmosphere tonight is getting more and more unusual. Tian Ergeng doesn't know what's wrong. He has to look at the development of things first. "My father is so kind to the child, everything about the child is given by my father."
Zhongxian finally showed a smile, and his big white teeth looked particularly gloomy under the dim candlelight. "Er Geng knows that the emperor's dragon body is not safe?"
"Back to my father, the child knows a little bit, but I haven't gotten into details." Tian Ergeng hasn't seen the emperor for a long time, and of course he doesn't know that the emperor is already sick.
"Ergeng, please tell me, if the emperor has a case, our family is saying if, who will inherit the throne?" Wei Zhongxian's big white teeth continued to gloomy Tian Ergeng.
This problem is too big, Tian Ergeng thought for a while, "The emperor has no heirs, and the nearest clan is only one person, and he must be a believer." Tian Ergeng was secretly shocked. Although Wei Zhongxian has repeatedly concealed it, he still learned from his words. It can be heard that the emperor's body must be bad. As the emperor's pro-army leader, he did not know that Wei Zhongxian's message was so closed.
"If the letter to the king becomes the throne, how does it compare with the current emperor?" Wei Zhongxian couldn't help but think more about Tian Ergeng.
"It's hard to tell." Tian Ergeng did Tai Chi, only to find that Wei Zhongxian's gloomy white teeth were gone, and his face showed dissatisfaction. He quickly added: "The King of Letters is good at commanding troops and resourceful. I am afraid that my generation will have a good life. It's over."
Wei Zhongxian was satisfied: "Ergeng, can the collateral county king inherit the general rule?"
Tian Ergeng immediately broke out in a cold sweat, and he faintly understood why Wei Zhongxian summoned him. "My father, the ministers in the courts are very orthodox. If you choose another county king, unless..." He didn't dare to go on.
Wei Zhongxian looked at him and encouraged: "Ergeng, there are only you and my father and son here. Don't have any worries, just say it boldly.
Tian Ergeng bit his scalp: "Unless...unless the King of Letters is dead."
Wei Zhongxian smiled again, "Er Geng, you are the commander of Jin Yiwei, do you have a way?"
Damn it! It really made me assassinate King Xin.
Tian Ergeng quickly calculated in his mind that the matter was just a verbal agreement between himself and Wei Zhongxian, without any personal evidence. If the assassination fails, in the future, the king will inherit the rule, and he will be the crime of destroying the family; even if it succeeds, the new king will become the throne, and he must clear up the relationship with the death of the king, and he cannot fail to conduct a thorough investigation.
At that time, people would not be grateful for the assassination of King Xin, clearing the way for his ascension. Under the pressure of courtiers, he would thoroughly investigate the murderer no matter what. Will Wei Zhongxian surrender himself in order to claim credit to the new king
Tian Ergeng's back was soaked, which was different from the last assassination of Zhu Youjian. Last time Zhu Youjian was just a dispensable prince. As long as Wei Zhongxian can persuade Zhu Youxiao, as long as Zhu Youxiao does not pursue him, no one will take his death to blame. But now Zhu Youjian is the actual prince, and his life and death are related to Daming's future.
Tian Ergeng has already made a decision, trying to get Wei Zhongxian to curse, and fight for the improper command of this Jinyiwei, and must not assassinate Zhu Youjian, causing himself to kill or even destroy the door.
Wei Zhongxian had already waited impatiently, and his anger had replaced his big white teeth: "Er Geng, what do you think?"
"My child, everything depends on my father." Once Tian Ergeng made up his mind, his heart settled down, Tai Chi, he would still play.
"Asshole! I'm asking for your opinion." Wei Zhongxian is really annoyed. Usually, for promotion, money, fathers and godfathers, they lose the chain when it comes to critical moments. Should I be charged with Shi Jun
Tian Ergeng was terrified. He knelt in front of Wei Zhongxian's chair. He didn't dare to let out the atmosphere. He just kept kowtow, and his kowtow could be heard throughout the study.
"Get up, useless things." Wei Zhongxian's tone slowed. "If the fifth ascends the throne, can you have good fruits to eat?"
"My father, my child is not a military commander. I don't know the future development. My child depends on his father's support." Tian Ergeng made the Tai Chi dance more round.
"Then our family asks you to assassinate the fifth child, are you sure?" Wei Zhongxian didn't give up. He leaned forward as much as possible, as if he wanted to see through Tian Ergeng's inner thoughts. "If it succeeds, our family can let You go to be the commander-in-chief of a province. But the emperor is far away, so you don't need to look at other people's faces."
Slap your face first, then give a sweet date. Wei Zhongxian has a thorough understanding of people's minds. These people around him, which ones are not for profit? If it were not for the temptation of profit, who would be willing to follow him as an eunuch
"My father, these guards under Haier, my father also knows that it's about the same if you take a civil official and the people. And Xinwang is not only surrounded by three hundred special forces soldiers, but also lives in a military camp, my child..."
"Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! The farther you roll, the better." Wei Zhongxian got up from the chair in a hurry, kicked Tian Ergeng severely, and then pointed to Tian Ergeng's nose and cursed: "Our family is really for nothing. You trash."
Tian Ergeng crawled around and found the door: "My child says goodbye to father." Then he ran out of the Wei mansion.
In Kunning Palace, Zhang Yan was also suffering.
The day of the emperor’s trip is not far away. This is the result of a collective diagnosis by the Taiyuan Hospital. Generally, there will be no misdiagnosis, otherwise the top doctors will not be able to keep their heads.
Zhang Yan's headache is that the emperor has no heirs, and the inheritance of the grand tradition is troublesome.
Zhu You's proofreading of Zhang Yan is still good. No matter how Wei Zhongxian and Ke Yingyue preach Zhang Yan, Zhu Youxiao always respects Zhang Yan, the mother of the country, and maintains Zhang Yan's safety everywhere. The concubines in the harem were forced to death by Wei Zhongxian and Ke Yingyue by falsely spreading imperial edicts, but they did not dare to move Zhang Yanyi and Hanmao.
Although Zhu Youxiao has not been to Kunning Palace for more than a year, in the harem where beautiful women are gathered and beautiful women are like grass, it is common for widows and widows to stay, even the queen is no exception.
Zhang Yan paced restlessly in Kunning Palace. She had long thought of the believer Zhu Youjian, who was the closest person to her in the palace besides Zhu Youxiao, and the only brother of Zhu Youxiao. But Zhu Youjian is in Shaanxi, can he come back safely? Will Wei Zhongxian stop him halfway
Zhang Yan thought of the last time Zhu Youjian was stabbed. At that time, Zhu Youjian could all retreat. Today Zhu Youjian already has a certain amount of military power. If Zhu Youjian couldn't even save his life, even if he became the emperor, he would still be a puppet of Wei Zhongxian's gang.
How to get Zhu Youjian to return to Beijing secretly? The vital departments of the imperial court are all from Wei Zhongxian. If the imperial court informs Zhu Youjian, Wei Zhongxian must know that he will send someone to assassinate Zhu Youjian halfway. She calculated for a long time, and finally thought of someone.
Zhang Yan took the two palace ladies and wore the costumes of the palace ladies, and sneaked out of the palace from Kunning Gate.
The letter to the palace was silent. Since Zhu Youjian went to Shaanxi, Zhou Yufeng has closed the door tightly, and all the idlers will enter and leave through the side door.
"Niang, let's open the door!" The maid accompanying Zhang Yan naturally couldn't let Zhang Yan enter through the side door.
"No, we must keep a low profile. Who knows if there are people from Wei Zhongxian around this Believe King's Mansion who are watching." Zhang Yan led the palace maid into the Believe King's Mansion through the side door.
"Slave and maid, see Empress Empress." Zhou Yufeng didn't know Zhang Yan had arrived suddenly, and hurriedly bowed to salute.
"Feng'er, get up." Zhang Yan chuckles, "Xin Wang is in Shaanxi for the country's rebellion, how is Feng'er doing well?"
"Back to the empress, everything is fine for the servants and maids." Zhou Yufeng saluted a thousand salutes.
"Feng'er, don't have to be polite, I want to go to your inner room to see if Feng'er is really doing well." Zhang Yan gestured with her eyes, and the two court ladies who followed her automatically retreated.
Zhou Yufeng looked at it and knew that the queen had something to say, so she told her palace maid to retreat.
Zhang Yan followed Zhou Yufeng to her bedroom and saw no one around: "Feng'er, it is convenient to talk here."
"Don't worry, Empress Empress, there is no third person here." Zhou Yufeng closed the door easily.
Zhang Yan whispered, Zhou Yufeng was shocked: "Queen Empress, this..."
"Time is running out, Fenger, don't make a mistake. I can't stay here for long, just leave."
"Yes, Empress, the slave and maidservant will do it now."
After Zhang Yan left, Zhou Yufeng thought for a while, wrote down a line of small characters on the white paper, and then called Xu Yingyuan: "It's a matter of great importance, Ying Yuan, you go to the military academy immediately, and be sure to see Zhou Wenqi himself."
