Qianqing Palace in the capital

Wei Zhongxian looked at the Emperor of the Apocalypse, whose face was pale and had obviously lost a lot of weight, and his heart was full of fear.

Since his injury, the Emperor of the Apocalypse has been in a state of half-dreaming and half-awake, not only unable to communicate effectively with others, but also unable to take care of his own diet, and can only rely on ginseng decoction and other great tonic medicines to maintain his body's vitality.

Seeing that His Majesty the Emperor, who had been looking down on him since he was a child, had changed into such a appearance, Wei Zhongxian was overwhelmed with grief in his heart.

During the Wanli period, Wei Zhongxian, who had not been in the palace for a long time, obtained a position in charge of the Jiazi library after several drill camps.

It's a pity that the position of the treasury is not something that a person like Wei Zhongxian, who has shallow qualifications and does not have enough backstage, can sit firmly.

It didn't take long for Wei Zhongxian to be squeezed out, and he was directly squeezed out and assigned to the Prince's Mansion, which was still very unpopular at that time.

In the Prince's Mansion, Wei Zhongxian became a pawn for Wang Cairen.

Wang Cairen is the biological mother of Emperor Zhu Youxiao of the Apocalypse. It was from that time that Wei Zhongxian came to Zhu Youxiao's side.

At that time, it was the time when Concubine Zheng Guifei was favored and Emperor Wanli wanted to replace King Fu as the crown prince.

At that time, even the crown prince Zhu Changluo's position was in jeopardy, let alone Zhu Youxiao, who had the name of the emperor's eldest grandson. Zhu Youxiao even delayed his name for a long time before it was recognized by Emperor Wanli.

At that time, the prince's mansion, which had been suppressed in various ways, was not as rich as ordinary official eunuchs.

In the prince's mansion, which is relatively short of materials, all kinds of materials are, of course, the priority is to protect the crown prince Zhu Changluo and his favorite concubines. Wang Cairen, who is not favored, and Zhu Youxiao really don't have too many resources.

After Wang Cairen died of serious illness, Zhu Youxiao had not even seen Zhu Changluo for many years. At that time, Zhu Youxiao was accompanied only by his nursing mother, Keshi and Wei Zhongxian.

In this case, Wei Zhongxian took care of Zhu Youxiao growing up day by day. In the face of all kinds of ups and downs, Wei Zhongxian tried everything to maintain Zhu Youxiao's safe growth.

Yes, Wei Zhongxian rushed to the day when Zhu Youxiao could turn into a dragon. But after more than ten years of getting along, Wei Zhongxian has also really paid his real feelings.

Zhu Youxiao's feelings for Wei Zhongxian even far surpassed that of Zhu Changluo, Emperor Taichang.

This is the real reason why Wei Zhongxian doesn't know a single big character, but he can be the commander of Dongchang and the eunuch of the celebrant and the eunuch.

Wei Zhongxian's ability to defeat the Donglin Party and come to the point of leaning towards the government and the opposition, in addition to his accurate grasp of what the Emperor of the Apocalypse needs and wants in his heart, is also due to the deep relationship between him and Zhu Youxiao.

It's really not a person who can make Zhu Youxiao hand over such a heavy trust.

Now, the Emperor of the Apocalypse, who trusts Wei Zhongxian the most, is lying unconscious on the dragon bed, and he is obviously worried about his life.

This white-haired man will send the black-haired man, how can he not make Wei Zhongxian feel a knife-like pain in his heart.

In addition to the heartfelt feelings, Wei Zhongxian's heart was even more painful and worried about his future.

Ever since Zhu Youxiao fell into a coma, Wei Zhongxian felt a little wrong. In the past few days, as Zhu Youxiao has been unable to recover for a long time, the trend of the DPRK situation has shown an obvious tendency to reverse.

The Cabinet, which used to be like a commanding minister, is now clearly not functioning. Gu Bingqian, the first assistant to the cabinet, has written to resign.

Wang Yongguang, the secretary of the Ministry of War, even used Wang Gongchang's heavenly change to publicly write to the imperial court asking for leniency, suspension of work, and caution.

At this time, Wang Yongguang's book made Wei Zhongxian feel a chill in his heart.

In Wang Yongguang's letter, he openly characterized the explosion of Wang Gongchang as a heavenly change, which made Wei Zhongxian feel the viciousness that came to extinguish.

What is Sky Change?

That is to say, the explosion of Wang Gongchang was not caused by human error, but there was a problem with the government, and God couldn't see it, so it was a disaster for Daming.

This statement of heavenly changes, coupled with the subsequent lenient prison (mainly requiring that the prisoners who were mainly from the Donglin Party in the edict be transferred to the criminal department for review), the suspension of work (to stop the maintenance of the three major halls), and the cautious vote (the arrangement of government decrees must be approved by the cabinet), Wang Yongguang almost directly asked the emperor to issue an edict for his own crimes.

Wang Yongguang wrote so viciously, and the point of the spearhead is self-evident.

Pity the Emperor of the Apocalypse was seriously injured, and he had to be charged with such a crime by them.

The problem is that Wang Yongguang was picked up by Wei Zhongxian, so how can he be regarded as a proper eunuch!

Such a person of his own would attack him so openly, could Wei Zhongxian not be shocked?

And what made Wei Zhongxian even more shocked was that he was not able to deal with Wang Yongguang immediately by thunderous means.

Wang Yongguang is the secretary of the military department, and without the personal nod of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, Wei Zhongxian could not be deposed at all by a high-ranking official of this level.

Wei Zhongxian also found that without the will of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, he could not effectively control the cabinet (courtiers), honors (army), and even the eunuchs in the palace (Imperial Horse Supervisor, Nei Cao), these key departments of the imperial court.

He Wei Zhongxian seems to be in power, and all over the dynasty are his disciples and grandchildren. But after leaving the Emperor of the Apocalypse, Wei Zhongxian suddenly discovered that he was actually nothing.

"Your Majesty, wake up quickly, Da Ming really can't do without you, and the old slave really can't do without you!"

Looking at the Emperor of the Apocalypse, who was half-eyed, but ignored the affairs in a daze, Wei Zhongxian couldn't hold back any longer, choked and choked.

Tianjin Port

"Let's go."

With Zhu Youzhen's order, smoke and dust kicked up, and more than a dozen carriages left the dock and rushed towards the capital.

On the carriage, Shen Shouyao looked at the rapidly retreating scenery outside the car, and couldn't stop smacking his tongue in his heart. He was indeed amazed by the superior operational efficiency of the Xinwang Mansion.

Shen Shouyao noticed that from the time Zhen No. 1 approached the dock, it only took more than half an hour for the Xinwang Mansion to organize the convoy to enter Beijing.

Even if King Xin's carriage was unloaded from the Zhen No. 1, even if the other carriages were left in the port when King Xin left the port of Tianjin.

But Shen Shouyao dared to swear that when they left Dengzhou, His Royal Highness King Xin really did not send a messenger.

Of course, even if there were messengers, Shen Shouyao didn't think that messengers could run faster than them.

Without prior arrangement, the team of hundreds of people in the Xinwang Mansion even got off the boat and took the car, and it only took half an hour to successfully set off. This kind of efficiency, Shen Shouyao really saw it for the first time.

Shen Shouyao believed that if it weren't for the sailors he led, the efficiency of the whole team would have been slowed down; If His Royal Highness only leads the youth team to act; Perhaps within a quarter of an hour, His Royal Highness King Shin will be able to set off on horseback.

The efficiency of the junior team, tsk......

Thinking of the efficiency of the junior team, which was far beyond ordinary people, Shen Shouyao only had a sigh of praise left in his mouth.

From the docking of Zhen No. 1 to the departure of the Xinwang convoy from the wharf, there was a phenomenon of chickens flying and dogs jumping around Tianjin Port.

All the eyeliners lurking in Tianjin Port are frantically sending messages outward: It is suspected that King Xin has returned.

Sending out this vague and vague message, the eyeliners can't help it.

Shinoh's carriage was driven straight down from the ship.

From the time he got off the ship to the time the procession departed, no one had ever seen His Royal Highness Shin King himself.

This leaves the eyeliners with only vague messages.

No matter how the news of the eyeliners is sent randomly, Zhu Youzhen seems to be sitting calmly in the car, but he is increasingly anxious in his heart.
