In fact, according to the development of politics, the cabinet system is a product of the times, and the cabinet is designated as the place where the national decree is issued and planned, and a good political environment will definitely be formed, but in order to prevent the threat of the cabinet chief assistant to the imperial power, the military power must be handed over to the emperor, and Zhu Youzhen hopes that in his lifetime, he can formulate a political pattern that is both beneficial to the imperial family and beneficial to the people of the whole world.

The most important thing now is to have an official who is dedicated to the people and the country to grow up, and for Li Shuo, Zhu Youzhen has great expectations.

After Wang Chengen stood up, Zhu Youzhen asked, "Is Li Shuo out of Beijing?" ”

"Commander Luo has sent a message in, and he has already sent Master Li out of Beijing."

"Hey, what should I do with this Wu Xin? What about the cantata? ”

"Your Majesty, the old slave thinks that the chapter must be rewarded with instructions."

Zhu Youzhen knew that Wang Chengen was for his own good, and once he rewarded the announcement, then all the places would be auspicious, and the people who did not know the truth would also be bewitched, thinking that the current emperor was a rare Ming monarch, and there were pros and cons to this matter, the advantage was that the bewitched people would be loyal to the court and the emperor, but the disadvantage was to encourage the style of officials. Zhu Youzhen had to make a choice.

After thinking about it for a while, Zhu Youzhen wrote some words of commendation on the note, and then said: "Later, you will go to the cabinet for a trip, and in the future, don't hand these auspicious folds to me, let them dispose of them themselves." ”

Wang Chengen nodded and obeyed.

Zhu Youzhen got up from the dragon case, walked to the door, and said softly: "Li Shuo, go all the way." ”

Zhu Youzhen suddenly turned around and said without a trace of anger: "Pass on Wei Zhongxian." ”

Wang Chengen looked at Zhu Youzhen's face and knew that this time to pass on Wei Zhongxian might be the last time he passed on Wei Zhongxian for the emperor, and his end had finally arrived.

After Wei Zhongxian received the emperor's summons, his heart was like a mirror, and after tidying up his belief, he followed the little eunuch who passed the decree to the Palace of Nourishing the Heart.

There was no one in the Heart Cultivation Hall except for Zhu Youzhen.

After Wei Zhongxian entered the Heart Cultivation Palace, the two eunuchs closed the door of the palace.

Wei Zhongxian knelt on the ground and said, "I've seen the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live." ”

Zhu Youzhen said softly: "Flat." ”

Wei Zhongxian stood up and said, "I don't know what the emperor summoned the old slave to do?" ”

"Father-in-law Wei, you are old, and the master of ceremonies is busy with official duties, I can't bear to overwork you." There was not the slightest change in emotion on Zhu Youzhen's face.

Wei Zhongxian was also interested, and said: "After the old slave goes down, he will resign." ”

"Father-in-law Wei has been in the palace for many years, but he has missed his hometown."

"The old slave is willing to leave Beijing and return to his hometown, and he will never step into Beijing in this life." Wei Zhongxian said lifelessly.

Zhu Youzhen stood up, walked to Wei Zhongxian's side and said, "The Danshu iron coupon given by the first emperor, I don't know if it is good for Gonggong Wei to keep it. This sentence has murderous intent, Wei Zhongxian heard it clearly, this emperor wanted his own life, but Wei Zhongxian didn't want to die so early.

"The Danshu iron coupon given to the old slave by the first emperor was offered to the old slave in his residence, and he was incense every day, and he did not dare to damage it." Wei Zhongxian knew that if he retreated, he could only die.

Zhu Youzhen smiled lightly and said: "Father-in-law Wei, you have to take good care of the Danshu iron coupon given to you by the first emperor, and it will inevitably be used one day." ”

Wei Zhongxian did not speak.

"But Danshu iron coupons forgive capital crimes, but not forgive the sins of rebellion."

"What does the emperor mean by this?"

"Some people say that Cui Chengxiu plotted rebellion, and you instructed it."

"What evidence does the emperor have?"

"Yang Huan, who will be executed by Ling Chi in a few days, Cui Yingyuan and others are the evidence."

"They accuse the old slave of rebellion?"

Zhu Youzhen sighed and said: "Although I am young, I understand it in my heart, I ascend the throne, the most uncomfortable person in the world is Gonggong Wei, if there is no command from you, will Cui Chengxiu dare to rebel?" ”

"The old slave was wronged, and the old slave never did anything rebellious." Wei Zhongxian said confrontedly.

Zhu Youzhen said: "Father-in-law Wei, you are the closest person to the first emperor, I don't want to take you, if you can still see through the situation at this time, hang yourself, let me leave a thin face for the first emperor, and let my father-in-law leave you a happier and leave some good reputation." ”

Zhu Youzhen didn't want to have any more verbal disputes with Wei Zhongxian, so he went straight to the point and let Wei Zhongxian choose by himself, if he didn't commit suicide, with Zhu Youzhen's power at this time, it would be easy to arrange a blame.

Wei Zhongxian finally couldn't help but be angry, and he said angrily: "Is the emperor so unable to tolerate the old slave? ”

"It's not that I can't tolerate you, it's that the Ming Dynasty can't tolerate you at this time, don't worry, after you die, I will bury you, the title of nine thousand years old, I won't give you the title, and you will still be nine thousand years old in the future during the Great Tomorrow Apocalypse."

Wei Zhongxian sighed and said: "The old slave understands what the emperor means, the old slave will definitely die, and the only choice is how to die." ”

Zhu Youzhen didn't speak, just looked at Wei Zhongxian.

Wei Zhongxian didn't ask An to salute, turned around, and walked slowly towards the outside of the hall, his back was bleak, Zhu Youzhen looked a little unbearable, but he understood that if he wanted to recreate the prosperous era of the Ming Dynasty, there would be many unbearable places in the future, Wei Zhongxian was the first person to die because of this, and in the future, thousands of people will be killed and robbed because of the new policy of disobeying the imperial court, this is just the beginning.

Zhu Youzhen closed his eyes and said softly, "I can only do this. ”

In the evening, Zhu Youzhen received a report from the eunuch that Wei Zhongxian died at his residence, and the cause of death was unknown.

Zhu Youzhen immediately issued an order, Wei Zhongxian has meritorious service to the country, should be buried thickly, and announced to the world, but in private, Zhu Youzhen found Luo Yangxing, and asked him to secretly check Wei Zhongxian's family property and fill it into the inner treasury, but this kind of thing can't be put on the table, Zhu Youzhen issued a gag order, and the participating Jinyi Wei can't talk nonsense outside, in order to prevent Luo Yangxing from being corrupt on a large scale, Zhu Youzhen asked Wang Chengen to monitor on the side, which can be regarded as a silent warning to Luo Yangxing.

However, Wei Zhongxian's death had very little impact on the people, except that some bureaucrats felt that their situation was worrying and lived in fear.

Three days after Wei Zhongxian's death, Yang Huan, Cui Yingyuan, Tian Ji and others were pushed into the prison car.

There were a lot of onlookers along the way, thousands of people in brocade clothes and guards escorted them, and the officials of the various departments and yamen stood on both sides to prevent people from blocking the prisoner car.

The people looked at Yang Huan and the others on the prisoner car and pointed and pointed.

An old man said: "Kaifeng Mansion said that on the day the emperor ascended the throne, the golden dragon circled, auspicious Zhaoguo, did not come to mind, these rebels colluded with Cui thief, intended to rebel, and harmed the emperor, such a disloyal and unrighteous person deserved this fate." ”

A young scholar whispered, "Why are they rebelling? ”

As soon as he said this, he was stopped by his classmates on the side, and he whispered to his classmates: "You don't want to die, you dare to speak like this in public." They rebelled, and the Hakka family was convicted by the Criminal Department, and the evidence was conclusive, so they must not ask some bastard words, otherwise they would be imprisoned by the officials, and it would be too late to regret it. ”

When the scholar heard that he was going to prison, he was startled and hurriedly shut up.

Zhu Youzhen sat in front of the dragon case, looking at the song, a little eunuch came in to report that Ling Chi's punishment had been completed.

After listening to the little eunuch's words, Zhu Youzhen waved his hand to let the little eunuch retreat, stood up by himself, and sighed.

Li Shuo also arrived in Xi'an, Shaanxi today, he heard the news of Wei Zhongxian's death halfway through, he suddenly had a feeling that Wei Zhongxian's today may be his fate tomorrow, but he is not afraid, people will eventually die, or lighter than a feather, or heavier than Mount Tai, and the road he chose is the latter.

After arriving in Xi'an, under the arrangement of the local officials, he lived in the newly renovated governor's mansion, and hundreds of brocade guards also lived in the mansion, responsible for protecting Li Shuo's safety, and there were two garrisons near the mansion, which were specially used to protect the governor.

When Li Shuo stepped into Xi'an, he knew that his history had come.
