The sudden voice of the British public Zhang Weixian made Wei Zhongxian, who was in a daze, suddenly sober up. He looked up and found that Empress Zhang was looking at him coldly, and Zhang Weixian was staring at the eunuch who was kneeling on the ground and came to report the news.

And several ministers who handled the posthumous and future affairs of the Emperor of the Apocalypse were deaf to everything that was happening in the palace now, and they looked like they were out of the way.

Wei Zhongxian, who was busy taking care of Tianqi's illness in the past few days and couldn't get out, suddenly found that not only were the cronies and eunuchs around him not around, but even his trusted foreign minister, Cui Chengxiu, the secretary of the military department and the secretary of the criminal department, was not present.

Wei Zhongxian's heart sank suddenly, and he suddenly became angry with the eunuch who was kneeling on the ground: "Since there is a warrant from the queen and all the ministers, and there is a personal order from the prince, what else are you asking about, why don't you go and open the palace gate to welcome Prince Xin into the palace." ”

The chamberlain, who was kneeling on the ground, hastened out of the temple gate on his knees, and went to convey the order to open the door.

Looking at the full malice of everyone in the hall towards him, Wei Zhongxian's heart, which had softened because of the death of the Apocalypse, became hard again, "He knows that if he doesn't respond again, I'm afraid he will really die without a place to bury." ”

Wei Zhongxian suddenly bowed to Empress Zhang, and then said calmly: "Your Majesty entrusted the security of the forbidden to the old minister during his lifetime, and the old minister did not dare to slack off, and ordered the eunuchs everywhere to defend without the instructions of the old minister, and they were not allowed to enter and leave the palace wall without the instructions of the old ministers, so there was this misunderstanding. Since the queen and the ministers have orders, and let the old ministers go down to arrange one or two, so as not to disturb His Royal Highness Prince Xin. ”

Listening to Wei Zhongxian's request, Empress Zhang was a little overwhelmed. Although she has a smart personality, after all, she has been living in a corner of Miyagi since she entered the palace. Although the Emperor of the Apocalypse is not very close to her, he has always treated her politely, and everyone in the palace will naturally not deliberately get along with her.

Staying away from the turmoil of the power struggle in the palace protected her, but it also caused the queen to not know the sinister truth of the world. In the third year of the Apocalypse, the queen was pregnant but gave birth to a stillborn child, which made her sad and unbearable.

But Chen Derun, a palace eunuch, quietly told her that it was Wei Zhongxian and the Hakka clan who conspired to kill her. Empress Zhang, who was already resentful of His Majesty the Emperor for not being close to her, immediately directed her anger at Wei Zhongxian and the Hakka family.

And in order to fill the huge black hole of military salaries in the Liaodong army, Wei Zhongxian searched everywhere for money. Although he did not have a plan to solve the benign development of the country's finances, the experience of living on the streets before the age of 20 also made Wei Zhongxian understand who should be taxed in order for Daming to survive.

However, what Wei Zhongxian didn't understand was that the nobles and the scholars were all passengers on the same ship of Daming, and now that the ship of Daming was full of loopholes, shouldn't everyone first pay for the repair of this boat so that it could continue to drive.

But even he, a eunuch born as a street gangster, understood the truth, but these nobles and scholars turned a blind eye. In order to collect taxes, Wei Zhongxian even offended Empress Zhang's father.

The old hatred was added to the new hatred, and Empress Zhang suddenly felt that what the eunuch Chen Derun said was right, and Wei Zhongxian and the Hakka family did have bad intentions. But she didn't know that there had never been a eunuch in Chinese history who plotted to usurp the throne, and the eunuch was a vine born of fake imperial power, and the eunuch was worthless without imperial power.

If you want to manipulate the government and follow the story of the Han and Tang Dynasties, Wei Zhongxian has to keep the child in her belly and set up a young monarch to exercise power. Instead of killing the child in her womb, find a Prince Xin who is close to the Donglin Party to be the prince.

However, Empress Zhang, who had already been frightened by her own imagination, now looked at anyone in the palace like Wei Zhongxian's henchmen, and the unnatural death of the apocalypse made her collapse. Let her be a widow at such a young age, and let Empress Zhang vent all her resentment on Wei Zhongxian and the Hakka family.

At the suggestion of the eunuch Chen Derun, Empress Zhang joined forces with the British prince and some ministers with justice in their hearts. There are only two purposes, to let Prince Xin ascend the throne smoothly, and to sweep away the eunuchs in the palace and restore the bright and prosperous Ming Dynasty.

But Empress Zhang, who lacked experience, was a little unsure of Wei Zhongxian's request to let him go. She couldn't help but look at the British Duke on the side, only to see the British Duke bowing slightly, and she immediately relieved her heart and agreed to Wei Zhongxian's request.

Wei Zhongxian bowed respectfully to the body of the Apocalypse three times before bending down and exiting the palace. After walking out of the palace, Wei Zhongxian looked back at the closed gate of the palace, and then recruited the little eunuch who was serving outside.

"Where is Lee Yong-jeong? Why hasn't Cui Butang been there yet? Wei Zhongxian asked stiffly.

"Gonggong Li has just been sent away by the queen, and I don't know what happened. Cui Butang, the villain has not seen it yet, but the eunuch who listened to the herald before the villain reported that Cui Butang was the public edict received with all the ministers. ”

"Then go and find it, can Cui Butang still fly away in this palace?" Wei Zhongxian said in a slightly accentuated tone.

The eunuch immediately received the order to leave, and Wei Zhongxian thought about it and walked in the direction of Donghua Gate. He walked all the way and found that after the Emperor of the Apocalypse, the palace was already in chaos, and many little eunuchs were scurrying around like headless flies.

If it was in the past, Wei Zhongxian would definitely make people stop and reprimand, but today he was no longer in the mood.

When Wei Zhongxian walked to a palace gate between the Maode Hall and the Donghua Gate, he saw Wang Tiqian, the master of ceremonies, walking over with a group of people and two bridges.

Zhang Qianhu, the grandson of the British duke, accompanied him by the sedan chair, and the family members of the British duke were left outside the Donghua Gate. Wang Tiqian saw that Wei Zhongxian only slightly arched his hand and said: "Our family has a purpose for itself, and after going to reply to the decree, we will talk to Gonggong Wei." ”

Wei Zhongxian didn't even look at this speculator who seemed to have found a new backer, he bent down and saluted the people in the sedan chair and said: "The old minister is panicked, and he neglected to control the palace gate guards for a while, so much so that he collided with His Royal Highness, please punish Your Highness." ”

Zhu Youzhen lifted the gauze tent and looked at Wei Zhongxian, the eunuch who was close at hand. This was the first time he had been so close to this historical celebrity, and the last time he was summoned by the Apocalypse, Wei Zhongxian happened to be standing in a corner that was not very well lit, and he didn't pay much attention to Wei Zhongxian's appearance.

At this time, the nine thousand years old of the Ming Dynasty was just an old man with gray hair. Zhu Youzhen said gently: "Father-in-law Wei doesn't have to be like this, at this time, I am in chaos, and some small things will be talked about in the future, I should go to see the queen and Emperor Daxing first." Let's go. ”

As Zhu Youzhen's words fell, Wang Tiqian quickly left with a group of attendants surrounded by two sedan chairs.
