And when Wang Zhen raised her head, she saw a hideous face, the Empress Dowager was not so kind, she just stared at Wang Zhen viciously. Wang Zhen was so frightened that his legs fell to the ground weakly, trembling all over, and the five ministers who took care of their lives were also shocked, the empress dowager in their eyes was always a gentle, graceful, and kind woman, but today she was so hideous, terrifying, and murderous. I saw the Empress Dowager stand up, pointed at Wang Zhen, who was kneeling on the ground and trembling, and shouted: "Okay, you eunuch, you dare to mislead the emperor and ruin my Ming Dynasty, I will behead you today and let you know why Emperor Taizu didn't let the eunuchs interfere in politics." ”

Several guards with knives who had already been prepared outside the hall rushed in, and the knife with a cold light was on Wang Zhen's neck, Wang Zhen shrank into a ball in fright, kowtowed like an insect for a while, and begged in a trembling voice: "The Empress Dowager spares her life, the slave is guilty, the slave is guilty." ”

The rapid change in a few minutes caught everyone off guard, only Mr. Shi was still sitting in his chair, squinting at what was happening in front of him. The little emperor has been accompanied by Wang Zhen since he was a child, and naturally has deep feelings, so he did not give up his hands and clenched his fists, but deigned to kneel down, pleaded with the empress dowager, and asked her to spare Wang Zhen's life.

At this time, a bell hanging from the emperor's waist rang slightly, and everyone did not pay attention, because they were all frightened by the unusually ferocity of the empress dowager. The Empress Dowager was still angry, but she forcibly suppressed her anger and said to Mr. Shi, who was sitting on a chair and watching the farce in front of her, in a calmest voice possible: "Mr. Shi, have you crossed the line again?" The royal order is something you can wait for. ”

Mr. Shi stood up, opened his eyes and looked at the Empress Dowager, who calmed her anger under Mr. Shi's gaze, and then wanted to say something, looking a little apologetic. Mr. Shi stretched out his hand to stop what the Empress Dowager wanted to say, and turned around and walked out of the hall, the ministers present knew that this person was far higher than his status, and Yang Shiqi, the veteran of the four dynasties among the five ministers, took the lead and said: "Mr. Shi go slowly." The rest of the people echoed, and the Empress Dowager was still sitting on her seat, waving at the guards who held the knife against Wang Zhen's neck, and the guards retreated, leaving only the great eunuch Wang Zhen who was still shivering on the ground.

Mr. Shi, who was sitting in the sedan chair, sighed at this moment, he thought that he should kill Wang Zhen, he wanted to say too much, maybe because of his silence The Ming Dynasty has changed, but he can only be silent with a little helplessness, because Zu Xun told him not to leak the heavenly machine, when the heavenly machine is leaked, it is the day when the world changes.

Of course, he can't even calculate the future of the royal ruler, although his position is irreplaceable, but he still can't, otherwise the ancestral bell on the emperor's body will ring, this sound will not be a salute for his celebration, but a prelude to making others' heads fall to the ground. The small sedan chair walked out of the palace gate quickly, and gradually moved away as the palace gate was closed.

Wang Zhen finally returned to his residence tremblingly, and he already had a separate room in the Forbidden City at this time. As the first celebrity around the emperor, he got enough, but he was still not satisfied, at this moment he gritted his teeth and fantasized about the day when his power leaned into the opposition, he knew that he had to choose patience, only to endure until he was completely in power, and endure until the empress dowager left in old age, he could turn over and be the master. He waited patiently for the day to come, and finally he looked forward to it.

Seven years later, in the late autumn, the Empress Dowager followed Zhu Di, Zhu Gaochi, and Zhu Zhanji, the three emperors, passed away, and the whole country mourned. But behind the young emperor, there was one person who couldn't help but laugh secretly, and that was Wang Zhen. He will be able to realize his dream one day.

At the time of the country's vegetarianism, the palace door opened, and a small sedan chair entered the palace gate of the Forbidden City, and when it stopped in front of the Taihe Palace, a person personally opened the sedan curtain for Mr. Shi in the sedan chair. And this person is the current palm seal eunuch, Wang Zhen, the actual ruler of the East Factory. Mr. Shi got out of the sedan chair, and the surrounding civil and military officials all cast curious and surprised eyes, it was obvious that they did not know this plainly dressed man, only a few people showed joy, they knew that the person who really spoke had weight came. Mr. Shi didn't pay attention to Wang Zhen, who was full of sneers, but when he walked in front of the four ministers, he gave his fist a greeting, but he still didn't say a word. Yang Rong, one of the five ministers, had passed away, and the other four were also old men, and they also saluted and saluted back when they saw Mr. Shi giving them a salute at this time.

Mr. Shi finally walked up to the sixteen-year-old emperor, and then said a leisurely sentence: "Let Yu Qian go." The emperor's face was a little embarrassed, and he looked at Wang Zhen behind Mr. Shi, Wang Zhen was not valued by Mr. Shi just now, obviously a little annoyed, under the anger he forgot the gap between himself and Mr. Shi, he shook his head.

Zhu Qizhen is the little emperor said to Mr. Shi with a sad face: "Mr. Shi, this Yu Qian really doesn't know the depths, he offended Mr. Wang, Mr. Wang is my husband, although he is a eunuch, but the people in the court are honored as Weng Father." Yu Qian is a governor but dares to be disrespectful to my husband, shouldn't he be killed? ”

Mr. Shi didn't say a word, just repeated what he just said: "Let Yu Qian go." The Emperor stopped talking, his face was angry, but he did not dare to say more. But Wang Zhen was behind Mr. Shi, waving his arms to show his villain nature, and he screamed: "Bold dog minion, dare to speak disrespectfully, aren't you afraid of exterminating the Nine Clans?" Mr. Shi turned around slowly, but suddenly kicked Wang Zhen to the ground.

Wang Zhen was kicked by this sudden kick and lay on the ground, in pain. Mr. Shi walked up to Wang Zhen, stepped on Wang Zhen's chest with his foot, and still said very plainly: "Let Yu Qian go." Wang Zhen agreed again and again, and begged Mr. Shi for mercy. Mr. Shi let go of the foot on Wang Zhen's body, strolled towards the sedan chair he was riding in, and muttered to himself as he walked: "Misunderstand my Ming, providence and providence." At this moment, the bell that the emperor put in his chest trembled, but he didn't notice it, but he was frightened by the scene in front of him, and stood there motionless.

Mr. Shi's sedan chair left the Taihe Hall in front of the civil and military officials, leaving only the puzzled eyes of many ministers and the grateful eyes of several old ministers, and what was even more prominent was Wang Zhen, who was still lying on the ground on the picture, and the little emperor Zhu Qizhen, who clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.

Mr. Shi's sedan chair left the palace gate and came to an ordinary street and alley, where there were not some princes and ministers, but just some rich people in Beijing. This is Mr. Shi's home, in this not very special place, the gate is so ordinary that there is no difference from ordinary people, if someone passes by the door of the house here, he must think that this is just a rich family, where dare to imagine Mr. Shi in front of the Taihe Hall just now shocked the four moves.

Several people standing at the door saw the arrival of the sedan chair and hurriedly ran out to greet them. The sedan chair landed, a sturdy man opened the sedan curtain for Mr. Shi, Mr. Shi's foot just stepped out of the sedan chair and stepped on the ground, and the person also leaned out half of his body, but did not get out of the sedan chair, just paused there and muttered to himself as if he was reading something, and his right hand kept pinching. Mr. Shi retracted into the sedan chair again, and the whole person was hidden behind the sedan curtain, and Mr. Shi's calm and deep voice came from inside: "Let's go, go to Dongzhimen." ”

The sturdy man outside the sedan chair who had just picked up the sedan curtain asked in a low voice, "Master, what is the matter with going to Dongzhimen, leave it to the apprentices." After a period of silence in the sedan chair, Mr. Shi's excited voice came out, which was not like Mr. Shi's usual voice: "I'm just going to pick up someone." ”

Just before the sedan chair left the mansion under Mr. Shi's order, it headed in the direction of the east of Beijing, and the man in the hardcover turned back to the person behind him who was still puzzled and said, "Send someone to prepare, we will soon welcome a little junior brother." Then he turned around and walked into the door of the house, and several people behind him replied in unison: "Yes, second senior brother." They also disappeared into the house.
