Chapter 5 Wei Zhongxian's Decision (Asking for Recommendation Votes and Collections)

In the seventh year of the Apocalypse, in the middle of the night of August 21, there was a strong wind and thunder and lightning.

Qianqing Palace, Maode Palace, Wei Zhongxian, the great eunuch who leaned towards the government and the opposition, had lost any domineering color at this time, and looked at the dragon body of Zhu Youxiao, the Emperor of the Apocalypse, who was gradually becoming stiff on the dragon couch, and was grief-stricken.

After more than 20 years of getting along day and night, Wei Zhongxian and Emperor Zhu Youxiao of the Apocalypse have long been in love with each other, and the sixty-year-old Wei Zhongxian would never have imagined that the Emperor of the Apocalypse, who was only twenty-three years old, would go ahead of him.

Moreover, it all came so suddenly that people were not prepared for it.

Wei Zhongxian entered the palace at the age of twenty-one, and it took nearly forty years to reach the top of the Ming Dynasty's power.

Wei Zhongxian's heart has long been as hard as iron in countless open guns and dark arrows in the inner court and outside the court, but the only soft place is reserved for Zhu Youxiao.

Zhu Youxiao is the white moonlight in Wei Zhongxian's heart, but now the only white moonlight that illuminates his heart has fallen.

However, it is said that Wei Zhongxian was born in a humble background, he was a person as small as dust, his family was poor when he was young, he was mixed in the streets, and he was illiterate, but he knew how to ride horses and shoot arrows, liked to gamble, and was obsessed with wine.

He often gambled with a group of evil young people, until even his wife lost to the other party, Wei Zhongxian changed his past wrongs, angrily went to the palace, and changed his name to Li Jinzhong.

In the nearly 40 years since he entered the palace, he has gradually transformed from a little eunuch who washes the toilet to a big eunuch who leans towards the government and the opposition, crying, laughing, humbling, glorifying, everything that should be there and what should not be, he has it.

But in this life, the only one who never asked for it, but kept giving it, was the Emperor of the Apocalypse Zhu Youxiao in front of him.

The world says that he Wei Zhongxian brought disaster to the country and the people, brutalized Zhongliang, and deserved death, but who knows, he actually doesn't want to be this powerful eunuch at all.

Although he is illiterate, Wei Zhongxian can transform from a humble little eunuch to a powerful eunuch, how can his emotional intelligence be low.

How could he not see that the Ming Dynasty had reached the point where the building would be overwhelmed and difficult to return, and how could he save such a world?

But didn't the scholar say that the king treats me as a countryman, and I will repay him as a countryman?

Emperor Apocalypse treats me Wei Zhongxian, how can the word "national scholar" be enough to describe it? Even the reborn parents can't be compared!

As early as the beginning of the Emperor of the Apocalypse's ascension to the throne, as the companion of the Apocalypse, he had already reached the top of power, if he was just pursuing glory and wealth.

Then, he can be hello to the civil officials, hello, hello, everyone, not only to make money in harmony, but also to leave a good reputation in the history books.

He did the same at the beginning, but he had no choice but to put his hot face on his cold ass, and the civil officials didn't like him at all.

Wei Zhongxian couldn't understand why these civil officials always dig into the foundation of the country to enrich themselves?

The skin does not have the hair attached, this is a truth that he can understand as an illiterate eunuch, why don't these Wenqu stars understand?

What's more, they always oppress the closest people in his heart, and kicking Zhu Youxiao's nose and face in the court, which is unbearable!

Therefore, he Wei Zhongxian did not hesitate to bear the infamy, risked the condemnation of the world, and was inseparable from the civil officials.

But now, the people who love themselves in the world are gone, what is the point of everything they do?

The huge grief and the sadness of losing the backer made this smash hit minister lose all thoughts and suddenly aged a lot.

Thundered!

A thunderclap illuminated the pale face of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and Wei Zhongxian broke out in a cold sweat.

At this moment, Wei Zhongxian woke up from his endless grief, and his ability to make a clear judgment on the current situation accumulated over the years of political career was not affected:

The Emperor of the Apocalypse, who was in the prime of life, died young before he could leave his blood and bones, and according to the practice of the imperial family, the emperor had no children, brothers and brothers.

At this moment, the emperor's edict that can decide the ownership of the country is in his own hands, so should he give the edict or not?

Don't obey the edict, after all, this is his last wish, and he is like a father and son, how can he not fulfill him? !

Summoned, once the son of heaven and a courtier, he understands the truth better than anyone else, once he is edicted, to meet his fate, it is likely to be dead without a place to be buried.

At this time, Wei Zhongxian's mind was full of battles between heaven and man, and he was extremely entangled.

......

At the same time, on the other side of the palace, Emperor Tianqi's younger brother Xinwang Zhu Youzhen, the legitimate heir to the throne, has been "invited" into the palace by Wei Zhongxian for a day and a night.

Zhu Youzhen sat alone, at the gate of the palace, two teams of heavily armed guards shuttled back and forth, as if guards were watching, as if they were ready to deal with unforeseen events at any time.

Zhu Youzhen hasn't eaten for a day and a night, it's not that Wei Zhongxian doesn't give it, but Zhu Youzhen doesn't dare to eat, after all, at this time, anything can happen.

Zhu Youzhen was different from Wei Zhongxian's celestial warfare, he had already figured out where to put Wei Zhongxian, after all, Wei Zhongxian was a sharp knife, and if used well, it would definitely produce unexpected results.

......

Maybe it's because Wei Zhongxian in this world has cultivation and strength, so he is much more courageous than Wei Zhongxian in history, since he can't figure out why not see King Xin, see what his thoughts are?

I have to say that Wei Zhongxian is a very smart move, after all, he still has great power and is qualified to negotiate.

Wei Zhongxian said that he would do it, and walked directly in the direction of Zhu Youzhen.

But when Zhu Youzhen was sitting, he saw an old eunuch in a python robe coming, needless to say that this was Wei Zhongxian, Zhu Youzhen knew that the critical moment was coming.

At the same time, he also smiled in his heart, he couldn't see that Wei Zhongxian was still very smart!

Before Zhu Youzhen could greet him, he saw Wei Zhongxian come forward and bowed: "The old slave greets His Royal Highness King Xin." ”

Of course, Zhu Youzhen didn't dare to accept Wei Zhongxian's kneeling at this time, that was a way to die.

So he hurriedly walked up and helped Wei Zhongxian up: "Father-in-law Wei, why do you have to do this, you can't afford it!"

Wei Zhongxian was old and refined, and he couldn't hear Zhu Youzhen's words, so he said directly: "Your Highness will ascend to the emperor in a few days, and the whole world will be in the hands of Your Highness, so you can naturally afford to be a slave." ”

Zhu Youzhen said with a smile: "Father-in-law Wei has worked hard and made great achievements, and he came to see this big idler Gu in his busy schedule, obviously he has something important, please say it!"

Wei Zhongxian was very surprised at this time, because he knew that Zhu Youzhen was raised by the Donglin Party, and secretly said that he should hate him to the core. And King Xin is not longer than the hands of the women of the deep palace, how can there be such a city?

If it weren't for Wei Zhongxian's previous meeting of Zhu Youzhen, he would have wondered if what he was looking at was King Xin himself.

However, Wei Zhongxian didn't think much about it, but asked a fatal question, and said, "His Royal Highness King Xin is talented and intelligent, but I don't know what you think of the Donglin Party and the Eunuch Party?"
