Wei Mansion, Wei Zhongxian's inner study.
Wei Zhongxian was yelling at him: "Li Sheng has the courage to break his promise to our family. Immediately punish him."
"Yes, nine thousand years old." Sun Yunhe lowered his head, "Subordinates will do it immediately."
"Hold on," seeing Tu Wenfu preparing to leave, Wei Zhongxian called him again, "the queen is not allowed to go to the Qing Palace in the future."
"Nine thousand years old, but the queen is going to visit the emperor, and the minions can't stop them?" Sun Yunhe was crying.
"If you can't stop it, you just have to delay it. Our family can only do it."
"Yes, nine thousand years old." Tu Wenfu finally left the Wei mansion.
Wei Zhongxian walked a few steps in the inner study, turned around and asked the housekeeper, "Is Cui Chengxiu here?"
"Baby, see your godfather." Cui Chengxiu just arrived. He is Wei Zhongxian's most trusted military book. In front of Wei Zhongxian, this military book is as meek as a Persian cat.
"Cough, cough," Wei Zhongxian coughed dryly, "Chengxiu, sit down."
"My boy thanked my godfather." Cui Chengxiu seated half of his ass, but found that Wei Liangqing was also there. He stood up again to meet him: "Master Wei."
"Chengxiu, what our family told you about controlling the three major camps of the capital, how are you doing?"
"Back to nine thousand years old, there is some improvement. The children of the three major battalions of the capital can mobilize half of them." Cui Chengxiu knew that the eunuch's biggest weakness was the military, which was Wei Zhongxian's heart disease.
Now the cabinet is full of eunuchs, and the six ministries are also dominated by eunuchs. Only this army cannot be controlled by the eunuchs. Whether it is the Beijing army or the frontier army, it is controlled by the Donglin Party. Now that he can control half of the Beijing army, the results should be good.
"Now there are still some generals who are considering, and I guess they are watching. But if your heart is moved, it will be fine. Godfather will give the boy a little more time, and the boy will definitely pull them over."
"Master Cui, time is running out." Wei Liangqing said. He is Wei Zhongxian's nephew. Wei Zhongxian has no sons. He is considered to be the closest person to Wei Zhongxian. In addition, he has been awarded the title of Crown Prince and Grand Master and Ning Guogong. I don't care about Choi Chengxiu either.
"Master Wei means..." Cui Chengxiu didn't understand what Wei Liangqing meant. You can't be too anxious to win over the officers, otherwise, people promised on the surface, and secretly acted as others' internal responses, and turned back at critical moments, which would be troublesome.
"Master Cui knows that the emperor's grand tour is not far away?" Wei Liangqing has his uncle backed up and has no scruples. He is the person who most hopes Wei Zhongxian will be one step closer. If the uncle can go further, then the world will be his uncle a hundred years later.
"What?" Cui Chengxiu was shocked, he didn't know the day of the emperor's fate. Cui Chengxiu's mouth couldn't close in surprise, but she was thinking about it in her heart.
"Chengxiu, once the emperor succeeds, Zhu Youjian will be the one who will become the throne. That is a powerful lord. Chengxiu, by then, the good times for you and me may be coming to an end." Wei Zhongxian talked for a long time, as if he was dying. Cui Chengxiu's future is worried, "Our family is old, but you are still young."
"Uncle, in my opinion, the cabinet is now our people, and the sixth department is also our people. As long as Master Cui can control the army, we might as well support the uncle as the emperor. When the time comes to make rice and make mature rice, the world will still have it. Who dares to refuse?" Wei Liangqing got more excited as he spoke, and it seemed that it was not Wei Zhongxian who was about to reach the Ninth Five-Year Plan, but Wei Liangqing.
"Chengxiu, what do you think?" This is Wei Zhongxian's main purpose for summoning Cui Chengxiu. He hoped that Cui Chengxiu could control the army. As long as he can control the army, as long as the army can support him, courtiers have his own way.
Cui Chengxiu's heart suddenly cooled to the end, as if he had fallen into an ice cave in the twelfth lunar month. He is now an admiral of the Ministry of War, an extremely human minister. Even if the rebellion succeeds, he cannot become a nine-thousand-year-old. Compared with his current status, there is not much difference. If the rebellion fails, it is a matter of Zhu Jiu Clan. The family honors that he has finally accumulated will also turn into dust.
It was the Wei family who benefited from the rebellion, and he didn't have much interest. In case of failure, you have to follow to hell. Cui Chengxiu was thinking fiercely. If I can't agree, will Wei Zhongxian still trust me? Is the book of the Ministry of War at the end
Wei Zhongxian is already old. Even if he succeeds, he won't be the emperor for a few days. Wei Liangqing will benefit from it. No wonder this kid is so active. In case of failure, Wei Zhongxian has no family or children to drag him down. He kicked his legs and went to see King Hades, and no one would be able to hold him accountable. And he has a big family population and a family that supports him.
Cui Chengxiu made up his mind and had a countermeasure: "Goddamn, although the Beijing army has nearly half of it, after all, there is not much time and people's hearts are not attached. If we really want to fight, whoever will fully support us, it is really possible. This matter must be considered from a long-term perspective, and the generals of the army must be firmly controlled, and you must not act recklessly."
"You..." Wei Liangqing was greatly disappointed. The imperial robe that waved to him just now was gradually disappearing from his mind.
"Chengxiu, is there really something we can't do?" Wei Zhongxian still didn't give up. He didn't want to be emperor, he just couldn't tolerate Zhu Youjian being emperor. This believes in Wang Ganglie, once he becomes the emperor, he will never be as easy to control as Zhu Youxiao.
"Back to godfather, if you give the child ten years, no, even for five years, the child will be sure to attack the master in one fell swoop and let the godfather imperial robe add him." Cui Chengxiu never wants to be involved in treason, he depends on Wei Zhongxian wanted to beg for money from officials, but he could not use his wealth and life as a bet.
"Ten years? Lord Cui, what are you talking about? The emperor has already..." Wei Liangqing is anxious, how could the emperor wait another ten years? After ten years have passed, the position of the new monarch will be consolidated. Isn't it the moon in the water and the flower in the mirror if you want to rebel
Cui Chengxiu remained silent, but kept kowtow to apologize.
"You are not a person to bear, go!" Wei Zhongxian let out a sigh of relief, and never looked at Cui Chengxiu again, silently closed his eyes, as if he was ten years old all of a sudden.
Tian Ergeng and Cui Chengxiu refused one after another, leaving him frustrated. Maybe you shouldn't come to the palace as a grassroots, and be a good eunuch? Maybe Zhu Youjian won't be troubled by himself, his Siwu Camp is a full-fledged camp with his full assistance, and he never defaults on military payments. At this moment, he directly filtered out the feast he had had with Zhu Youjian.
On August 8, Zhu Youjian returned to the capital in secret. Next to him were soldiers from Wang Mujiu's 300 special team.
Zhu Youjian didn't return to the Royal Palace of Letters, but instead asked Li Chunye in secret.
"His Royal Highness is finally back." Li Chunye's eyes flashed again, like a hungry person, suddenly seeing the big bun and bread. He has a thousand words, but he doesn't know where to start. If Li Chunye supported Zhu Youjian in the past, and was still a little worried about Zhu Youjian's prince status, then this is the perfect opportunity to erase this status and let Zhu Youjian master the Ming Dynasty.
They will not meet for too long. At very moments, Jingshi’s Jin Yiwei walked around, and no one knew whether he was the one monitored by Jin Yiwei. Fortunately, Li Chunye was originally a member of the Eunuch Party, and for the time being, he was not the target of Jin Yiwei's monitoring.
"Master Li, how is the situation of the emperor now?"
"His Royal Highness, Wei Jong blocked the emperor's message, and even his officials could not find out. However, such a tightly sealed message could have explained some problems."
Zhu Youzhen was silent for a moment, "What about the situation of the Jingshi?" What he worries most is that the situation of the Jingshi is out of control. No matter how it is cleaned up in the future, the loss will be Daming's national strength. The internal friction, Daming can't bear.
"The capital is still stable for the time being. Without the support of the army, Wei Wei dare not take this step for the time being. Ministers will inquire about the development of the situation from time to time." Li Chunye is not an absolute cron of Wei Zhongxian. He has some top-secret information that he has not been able to access.
"Master Li, what should I do now?" There is no news, Zhu Youjian has nothing to do for the time being and can only wait. He knows that Li Chunye has rich experience in court, far from being comparable to him as a teenager.
"His Royal Highness only needs to do two things right now," Li Chunye found Zhu Youjian was listening, "First, protect yourself so that Wei Jun has no chance to take advantage of it; second, look for opportunities to see the queen. She is now except Wei Jun. , The only person who might come into contact with the emperor."
Zhu Youjian nodded slowly and bid farewell to Li Chunye.
When he wrote back to the palace, Zhu Youzhen didn't say anything. Like Zhang Yan, he entered through the side door.
"His Royal Highness, are you back?" Zhou Yufeng was overjoyed when he saw Zhu Youzhen, his brows stretched, and his swallow eyes smiled.
"Feng'er kept silent, but I went home secretly." Zhu Youzhen made a silent gesture.
"Then... Your Highness, go into the room! Don't let anyone see it."
Zhu Youzhen followed Zhou Yufeng into her bedroom, "Feng'er, is Ying Yuan in the house?"
"Yes. Your Royal Highness wants to see him?" Zhou Yufeng also knew that it was a very time, and Zhu Youjian returned to Beijing in secret. There must be many important things waiting for him.
"Well, let him come over immediately and keep quiet."
"Yes, Your Highness." Zhou Yufeng agreed in a low voice, and then Ping Ting went out.
After a while, Xu Yingyuan came to Zhou Yufeng's bedroom, "The slave knocked on His Royal Highness."
"Hush! Whisper." Who knows if there is Wei Zhongxian's secret agent among the court ladies who believe in the palace? Zhu Youjian started Xu Yingyuan, "Yingyuan, things are urgent now, can you go to Kunning Palace?"
Xu Yingyuan thought for a while, "His Royal Highness, the guard commander of the Kunning Gate is a fellow of the minion, and he usually has contacts. The minion asked him to escort him into the palace, so as not to cause others to doubt.
"Okay, then you immediately take a message and enter the palace, meet the queen, and say that I have returned to Beijing."
"Yes, Your Highness." Xu Yingyuan left Zhou Yufeng's bedroom.
Zhou Yufeng only then looked at Zhu Youzhen carefully. Maybe it was a hard journey, maybe it was a busy day, and Zhu Youzhen was much more determined than a year ago. But Zhu Youjian's hair is messy, and his beard is also thick. Zhou Yufeng suddenly felt pity: "His Royal Highness, do you want to take a bath?"
"Bath?" Zhu Youjian was shocked. Anyway, waiting for Xu Yingyuan to bring back Zhang Yan's message, he won't be able to go anywhere for a while, "Okay, let's take a bath first!"
After taking a shower, shaving his beard, and putting on dry clothes, Zhu Youjian returned to his dude appearance.
Zhou Yufeng stared at Zhu Youzhen in a daze, and water dripped from Feng's eyes.
"Feng'er?" Zhu Youjian held Zhou Yufeng's small hands and tender arms, "I'm not at home this year, and I have worked hard for you."
"Hall... Next!" Zhou Yufeng was stunned by Zhu Youjian, but couldn't escape his embrace.
Zhu Youjian looked at the round brocade tent on the bed, the mats and embroidered pillows in the brocade tent, "Feng'er, I'm tired, let's lie down on the bed!"
"His Royal Highness," why didn't Zhou Yufeng understand Zhu Youjian's mind? "It's daytime now!"
"What are you afraid of during the day? This is the Royal Mansion, who can manage the affairs of the mansion?"
Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but said, picking up Zhou Yufeng's leg, hugged her horizontally, and walked to the bed. Zhou Yufeng found that the door of the bedroom was still concealed. On Zhu Youzhen's body, he slammed on embroidered shoes and closed the door of the bedroom.
The brocade tent covered the entire embroidered bed, and Zhu Youjian hugged Zhou Yufeng with both hands, unable to tell. Zhou Yufeng stretched out the lush jade fingers, resisting shame, twisted gently and slowly, and opened the golden tent.
When it was getting dark, Xu Yingyuan came back.
Zhu Youjian is still lingering with Zhou Yufeng. But Xu Yingyuan is a servant and does not shy away. Standing in front of the bed, he whispered to Zhu Youjian: "The Queen's Empress has two instructions: one is that the royal palace is not safe, so that her Royal Highness can live in Fenwuying immediately; the other is that she will arrange for her to enter the palace as soon as possible. "
