"Then how do you get out of the palace, is it possible to swagger out of the palace?" Zhu Youzhen said coldly. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"The emperor doesn't know that there is a tunnel in this palace that leads to the outside of the palace." Liu Tong said tremblingly.

After hearing this, Zhu Youzhen felt extremely angry, there was an authentic tunnel in the deep palace where he lived, what a great irony it was.

"What do you say? There are tunnels that lead out of the palace. After Zhu Youzhen finished speaking, he looked at Wang Chengen, Wang Chengen lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Zhu Youzhen's eyes.

"Yes, the tunnel that Emperor Wuzong ordered to dig during the Zhengde period, although it was ordered to be sealed, but a small part of it was preserved."

"There is a secret passage in my palace where you can enter and exit at will, Luo Yangxing, did you hear, tomorrow, you will seal the secret passage to me."

Luo Yangxing bowed his head and said, "The minister obeys the order." ”

"Slow, you said that Wei Zhongxian asked you to bring the words to Cui Chengxiu and Yang Huan, why didn't you go out of the palace, but came to me instead, is there some conspiracy waiting for me?" Zhu Youzhen is becoming more and more like an emperor at this time, even if he believes that what Liu Tong said is right, but he can't show complete belief, he suddenly remembered Yuan Chonghuan in the last time and space, even if he was Emperor Chongzhen at that time, in the face of that situation, he would rather believe in what he has than believe in it, and kill Yuan Chonghuan.

Liu Tong was shocked, and hurriedly said: "The slave didn't dare, the slave came to tell the emperor, but he just felt that this matter was not good for the emperor, and he felt that Father-in-law Wei, who had fornicated with foreign ministers, committed a big crime, and the slave was really, really loyal to the emperor." ”

Zhu Youzhen had a definition in his heart, and in a trance, he thought of one thing, Xu Xianchun fell, Tian Ergeng rebelled, if Cui Chengxiu also fell due to a serious crime, then the gun in Wei Zhongxian's hand would be gone, and he could use this matter to direct and act in a political drama by himself, so as to promote the starting point of his own political action.

"You go out of the palace to find Cui Chengxiu and Yang Huan." Hearing Zhu Youzhen's words, not only Liu Tong, but even Wang Chengen and Luo Yangxing were very surprised, I don't know what the emperor means?

"Your Majesty, what does your Emperor mean by this? Since the slave came, he didn't even think about leaving the palace. "The reason why Liu Tong came to the emperor is very simple, leaving the palace is equivalent to going to the dark, and it is a wise choice to take refuge in the emperor, Wei Zhongxian will be a little jealous of himself, and Zhu Youzhen will save his life in order to win the hearts of the eunuchs in the palace, but at this time the emperor let him out of the palace, which made Liu Tong puzzled.

"You go out of the palace to find Cui Chengxiu, but don't bring Wei Zhongxian's words, bring my words over, but tell him in the name of Wei Zhongxian." As soon as Zhu Youzhen said this, Luo Yangxing and Wang Chengen both thought of Zhu Youzhen's meaning, he wanted to frame Cui Chengxiu, Cui Chengxiu is the secretary of the military department, this identity makes Zhu Youzhen extremely scrupled, and ordinary charges can't bring him down at all, but if it is a major crime of rebellion, it is the nine clans of Zhulian.

"I won't harm you, if this thing is done, I have a heavy reward, I can arrange you a position, you don't have to be this nameless errand eunuch, on the contrary, if it can't be done, Wei Zhongxian can't spare you, and I won't let you go, when the time comes, you will definitely die, and your family will be harmed." Zhu Youzhen lured and coerced on the other.

"What did the emperor ask me to do, and what did I want to bring?"

"You said to Cui Chengxiu, the new emperor ascended the throne, the foundation is unstable, at this time sharpen the knife Huohuo, towards the heads of you and me, if you don't resist, it is difficult to escape death, let him gather the loyal to his own Beijing guard horses, close the nine gates, hinder the three battalions from entering Beijing, and then Wei Zhongxian convened the military supervisor, two days later, the inside and the outside should be combined, broke the palace to abolish the emperor, and overnight issued an order to the governors and commanders loyal to us in various places, the general soldiers, in response to this matter, after the fact, another new emperor, Kuang Fu Sheji." Zhu Youzhen said word by word.

Liu Tong understood why the emperor let him out of the palace, this was obviously a fake order, this was to make Cui Chengxiu and Wei Zhongxian rebel.

Liu Tong kept kowtowing and said, "The slave doesn't dare, the slave doesn't dare to do it." "This is a big crime of rebellion, if you sit down, you are the contact person between Wei Zhongxian and Cui Chengxiu, and such a case will definitely be investigated to the end, and then you will definitely not be able to get out of it, the emperor wants to keep himself, there is no reason, not to mention, Liu Tong understands a truth, you must not conspire with the king, Cui Chengxiu Wei Zhongxian fell, but the reason is clear to himself, when he sees himself, the emperor must be uncomfortable, afraid that the secret will be leaked, causing an uproar, so, even if he gets out of the rebellion case, In the future, he will definitely die at the hands of the emperor.

"What you think in your heart, I understand, but I will not do anything to unload the mill and kill the donkey, you will not die, but if you do not bring the word, you will definitely die." If you are suspicious, Zhu Youzhen doesn't want to say more, he thinks that since Liu Tong can tell him about Wei Zhongxian's actions, he is leaning on himself in his heart, at this time, he can only listen to his own will, otherwise there is no way back.

Liu Tong hesitated for a while, and Zhu Youzhen said softly: "Don't worry, I won't kill you, and I won't pursue it in the future, Commander Luo and the prince are here, they can testify for you." “

Liu Tong was speechless, did not agree or object, and Zhu Youzhen could not hear clearly what he said.

"Is it possible that you still want me to guarantee you that you can't, or do you want to give you a copy of the iron coupon of Wei Zhongxian's Danshu book?" Seeing Liu Tong's indecision, Zhu Youzhen was a little angry.

"The slave doesn't dare, the slave, the slave is willing to do anything for the emperor, I just hope that the emperor can remember what he said today, and in the future, he will definitely save the slave's life."

Zhu Youzhen laughed and said: "That's fine, you go, go out of the palace from the secret road, this matter is over, I will let you go to Nanjing, away from this place." For those high-ranking old eunuchs, going to Nanjing is equivalent to punishment, but for Liu Tong at this time, Nanjing is an excellent refuge.

After Liu Tong stood up, he just wanted to go out, but was called by Zhu Youzhen.

"What did Grandpa Wei ask you to pass on to Master Cui?" Zhu Youzhen asked softly, he didn't want a little eunuch to ruin his plan.

"Gonggong Wei said to Lord Cui, the emperor wants to kill you and me, we take advantage of the emperor's first ascension to the throne, when the foundation is unstable, to abolish the emperor, by you mobilize the Beijing guards and horses of the letter, close the nine gates, block the three battalions from entering Beijing, I will convene the military supervisor in the palace, two days later, the inside and the outside should be combined, break the palace, and set up a new emperor."

Zhu Youzhen nodded with satisfaction, got up from the dragon couch, walked in front of Liu Tong and said: "If you say such a big thing to Cui Chengxiu, with Cui Chengxiu's temperament, you will not believe it, Gonggong Wei has a noble status, a high position, and there must be a seal letter by his side, you go to him and tell him that Lord Cui is in the position of the secretary of the Ministry of War, the important minister of the country, I am soft-spoken, and it coincides with an eventful autumn, lest Lord Cui not believe it, please give Master Wei a letter of seal, so that Lord Cui can believe in the next words." Zhu Youzhen's mind is sensitive, of course he knows that if it is a rebellion, Cui Chengxiu will believe it, but if it is a rebellion, Cui Chengxiu will not believe it, only if he gets Wei Zhongxian's seal letter, Cui Chengxiu will believe it, as for getting the seal letter from Wei Zhongxian, it is very simple, the rotation of the forbidden army, and the purge of the inner court have made Wei Zhongxian like a frightened bird, and he must not think as much as before, and he will not believe that a little eunuch in the past dares to betray himself, so as long as Liu Tong behaves well, then Wei Zhongxian will definitely give the seal letter to Liu Tong.

"The slave still has to go to see Grandpa Wei, this is absolutely impossible, if it is found out by Grandpa Wei, the servant will definitely be bloody on the spot, and he will not be able to do an errand for the emperor." Of course, Liu Tong didn't dare to see Wei Zhongxian, because Wei Zhongxian had some good eunuchs, and if Wei Zhongxian saw a flaw, he would definitely die.

In fact, in the real history, Wei Zhongxian in the Apocalypse years, had a lot of training eunuchs, let them hold firearms, swords, patrol in the palace, although due to the pressure given by the court, stopped training, but the military eunuchs still existed, but these former military eunuchs Zhu Youzhen never took them to heart, because even if these eunuchs are good, but they are the emperor's slaves, if they want them to attack the Yangxin Palace, Qianqing Palace and other places to kill the emperor, they will never dare, but even if they don't take it to heart, The emperor's suspicious and cautious nature also made these two places where he often was full of forbidden troops, so as to prevent accidents.
