Chapter 267: Testing the Waters
"You said that Xu Xianchun colluded with Ye Xun and often betrayed the news of the capital?"
After Zhu Youxiao finished speaking, he put down the small wooden piece carved in his hand, turned his head and said to Wei Zhongxian suspiciously.
"Your Majesty, the slave doesn't dare to say that Xu Dudu has the intention of daring to assassinate His Majesty, but it is absolutely true that he colluded with Ye Xun, and the letter also vaguely mentioned the arrangements for His Majesty's wedding"
Wei Zhongxian closed his mouth when he said this, he knew that because the queen had to take Ye Xun's kiss, Zhu Youxiao had already killed Ye Xun, and this date was set for the wedding.
This matter is definitely a taboo for Zhu Youxiao, and no one can touch it.
In fact, Wei Zhongxian also wanted to test Zhu Youxiao by attacking Xu Xianchun, and see that he didn't care about his own attack on the courtiers.
Zhu Youxiao looked at Wei Zhongxian deeply, and only said after a while: "You didn't lie to me?" ”
Wei Zhongxian held the letter in his hand high above his head, and said: "Xu Xianchun's letter to Ye Xun is here, Your Majesty ordered someone to find Xu Xianchun's handwriting to compare it, and you can know the authenticity."
Zhu Youxiao didn't know how to read, but there was a place in the palace that specially trained eunuchs to read and write, so the little eunuchs who followed the emperor generally had a certain amount of knowledge.
Zhu Youxiao really beckoned to the little eunuch waiting on the other side, and said, "Come and read the letter to me."
At this time, although Wei Zhongxian mastered the East Factory because of the relationship between the Hakka family, it had not yet reached the point where all the eunuchs were afraid, especially the eunuchs waiting by the emperor's side, he also had to accompany the smiley face.
The little eunuch came over, and after saluting Zhu Youxiao, he took the letter in Wei Zhongxian's hand and read it.
"Ye Xun my brother, farewell to the capital, my brother misses it very much, Liaodong is bitter cold, I hope my brother takes care of his body, there are rumors in Beijing today, I want to be unfavorable to my brother on the day of the wedding, my brother is now investigating this matter thoroughly, and when there is accurate news, I will inform him in time, and I hope that my brother will pay attention to his safety, or he can refuse to come to Beijing, and fight against Jinshang with the elite of Liaodong, and he has nothing to do with my brother..."
"Smack!"
Before the little eunuch's letter could be read, it was interrupted by the sound of Zhu Youxiao slapping the table.
"What a dog, since I succeeded to the throne, I have been so generous to the former courtiers, and he even dared to collude with the leaf thief, his heart can be punished, his heart can be punished!"
"Wei Zhongxian, the person has been handed over to you, give me a strict investigation, and see how far he has colluded with Ye Xun?"
After all, Zhu Youxiao's time as emperor is too short, because of his age, he can't talk about any life experience, and he is far from being able to express his joy and anger, and he was hooked up by a forged letter.
Wei Zhongxian was waiting for this sentence, forcibly suppressed the eyebrows that were about to jump, bowed down and saluted: "Your Majesty, rest assured, the slave will never let anyone endanger Your Majesty"
Although Zhu Youxiao is a little gloomy, after all, he is still a teenager, and people who are good to him will inevitably move him.
Seeing Wei Zhongxian like an obedient old dog, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, if only Ye Xun could treat him like this.
Xu Xianchun's eyelids have been jumping non-stop since yesterday afternoon, but thinking about it, there seems to be nothing to worry about, and he can't help but laugh at himself in his heart, is it that he is getting older and starting to be suspicious?
Xu Xianchun didn't need to participate in the early dynasty, but today I don't know why, he didn't need anyone to arrange it, so he himself came to inspect the brocade army in the Suwei Palace.
The guards at the palace gate were all brocade guards, and although they were a little blind, they nodded at them, jumped off their horses, threw the reins of their horses to the guards behind them, and walked inside.
As soon as he walked into the palace gate, he saw a little eunuch walking quickly with his head down, and when he passed by Xu Xianchun's side, he suddenly whispered: "Wei Zhongxian has reported the governor to His Majesty, the governor is leaving!" With that, he quickly walked away.
Xu Xianchun couldn't help but be stunned, he was also a person who had been through the storm for a long time, although he didn't understand what the little eunuch meant, but his intuition told him that there was danger and he had to leave the palace immediately.
Thinking of this, Xu Xianchun immediately turned around and left, but before he could take a few steps, a chaotic sound of footsteps sounded behind him, and then someone shouted: "Your Majesty has a will, recruit Xu Xianchun, the commander of the Jinyi Guard."
Xu Xianchun turned a deaf ear and continued to walk towards the palace gate, seeing that he was about to reach the palace gate, a person suddenly jumped out next to him to block the way.
I only heard this person say in a dark voice: "Lord Admiral, Your Majesty recruited you, what are you leaving?" Is it because you want to resist the decree? ”
Xu Xianchun ran away in a hurry, almost didn't bump into this person, and after seeing who the person in front of him was, he hurriedly said: "Brother Cui is too good here, quickly ask the brothers to answer me, Wei Zhongxian wants to harm me"
Cui Yingyuan sneered: "Grandpa Wei is running an errand for His Majesty, why should he harm you?" ”
Seeing Cui Yingyuan's attitude, Xu Xianchun suddenly understood, pointed at Cui Yingyuan and said angrily: "The surname is Cui, you betrayed me?" ”
"Collusion with traitors, conspiracy to assassinate Your Majesty, Xu Xianchun, you are so bold! Come, take down this thief with me."
With Cui Yingyuan's scolding, more than a dozen brocade guards suddenly rushed up and threw Xu Xianchun to the ground.
It's not that these people don't know Xu Xianchun, but they are Cui Yingyuan's descendants, plus they have the emperor's order, so catching a top boss like Xu Xianchun will give them a sense of accomplishment.
"The surname is Cui, you framed me, Lao Tzu will not let you go, I want to see Your Majesty, I was wronged..."
This place is not far from the palace gate, and there are too many officials coming and going, Cui Yingyuan signaled his subordinates to plug Xu Xianchun's mouth, and then quickly stuffed it into a small sedan chair and carried it directly in the direction of Dongchang.
Xu Xianchun has been running Jinyiwei for many years, and it is inevitable that there will be some irons under him, so he will choose this method to arrest people for unnecessary trouble.
It was also Xu Xianchun's accident, when he passed the palace gate just now, he didn't pay attention to who was on duty, and the officer on duty was not his old brother who had followed him for many years, and he also didn't arouse his vigilance.
There was such a big commotion, and naturally some Jinyi soldiers found out, but Cui Yingyuan, a fellow acquaintance, and his superiors did not let them interfere, so that the dignified Jinyi Guard Admiral was arrested in a daze in front of the Jinyi Guard.
Wei Zhongxian, who was nervously waiting for news in the palace, heard that Xu Xianchun had been successfully captured, and couldn't help but smile, what happened to Admiral Jinyi? Isn't it still the same that the miscellaneous family will be caught? Looking at the court, who will be the opponent of the miscellaneous family in the future?
"Don't get complacent too early, kill that person, you are the real one person below, above ten thousand people"
A cold voice came from behind him, but it was the Hakka clan who poured cold water on Wei Zhongxian.
It is certain to say that Wei Zhongxian is afraid of Ye Xun, but it is difficult to say how much he is afraid, after all, Wei Zhongxian has not suffered any big losses in Ye Xun's hands.
But Wei Zhongxian has a deep fear of this Hakka, and he can't say why he feels this way.
Wei Zhongxian's ability to have today is naturally due to the Hakka family, but Wei Zhongxian only has fear of the Hakka family in his heart, and has no thoughts of gratitude.
At the moment, he smiled without hesitation: "With Mrs. here, what is little Ye Xun?" ”
The Ke clan didn't accept Wei Zhongxian's sycophancy, and said coldly: "Don't be careless about the surname Ye, otherwise you and I will die ugly."
"Madame, don't worry, I know what to do, Your Majesty is going down, do you want Madam to go over?"
Wei Zhongxian is not stupid, how could he not know that the eunuch hat on his head has always been green, but so what, who made that person the emperor who can give him unlimited power! ...
