Chapter Twenty-Six: Under the Layout
Obtaining Wei Zhongxian's seal letter and the fact that the palace was tightly sealed at this time, even if Cui Chengxiu had great ability, he would never have imagined that this was a trap set by the emperor for himself, on the contrary, he would firmly believe that this was a powerful counterattack from his side.

Everything depends on Liu Tong's current performance, Liu Tong is a little timid in his heart, because Wei Zhongxian is the object he has always looked up to, and he is already terrified at this time to help the emperor deceive him, and he really doesn't dare to act in front of him at this time.
Of course, Zhu Youzhen saw Liu Tong's cowardice and smiled, he knew that the temptation he gave Liu Tong was not big enough.
"You are still very young and cannot serve the public, I remember that today, if Wei Zhongxian falls, fifteen years later, you will be the eunuch of the celebrant and the eunuch Bingbi." Zhu Youzhen said softly.
After Liu Tong listened to Zhu Youzhen's words, his eyes were hot, the most powerful department of the Ming Dynasty, who didn't want to go in, and Liu Tong had a great desire for power, and he also wanted to invade the government and the opposition like Wei Zhongxian, and the scenery was immeasurable.
"You can afford to wait for fifteen years, and I can afford to wait, you have no jokes, and I will remember your contribution to me and the community." Zhu Youzhen was afraid that Liu Tong would not believe it, and continued.
Liu Tong took a deep breath and said firmly: "The slave must do a good job for the emperor." ”
After Zhu Youzhen listened, his face was full of smiles, but there was a little chill in his heart, and he no longer had a good impression of Liu Tong, although all living beings were profitable, but this kind of power-hungry person still made Zhu Youzhen disgusted, if this matter was successful, this Liu Tong would definitely die in the hands of Wei Zhongxian.
As for Zhu Youzhen's promise to the eunuch Bingbi, it is even more ridiculous, Zhu Youzhen even gave Wei Zhongxian the iron coupon of the Danshu, and what promises he did not dare to promise, not to mention that there were only Luo Yangxing and Wang Chengen in the palace of raising the heart, if the emperor said that he had never said these words, I believe they would not dare to disclose the news to the outside world, if it is really successful, the history books will write like this, the new emperor favors Zhongxian, but Zhongxian wolf ambition, colluded with the military department Shangshu Cui Chengxiu to rebel, fortunately blessed by God, the emperor is heroic, early to see through, in addition to Zhongxian, the eunuch party. And Liu Tong, the little eunuch, will not appear in this history at all, and it has no impact on Zhu Youzhen's reputation, even if it is well known, so what, it is better to be a ruthless and brutal emperor than the king of the dead country.
"Then go and ask for the seal, and I will not forget what I promised you."
After Liu Tong knelt down and kowtowed, he got up and left the Heart Cultivation Palace.
After Liu Tong left, Luo Yangxing hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this matter is too dangerous, and the ministers are afraid that it will be self-defeating and endanger the emperor." ”
Zhu Youzhen put away his face with a smile, turned around and returned to the dragon couch: "What's the danger, I am the true dragon son of heaven, I have to be blessed by God, Cui Chengxiu is just a clown who jumps off the beam, and it can't be a big deal, Wang Gonggong, summon Tian Ergeng, by the way, call Hong Chengchou too, and Cao Wenzhao outside the city also called me, tonight, a big thing is going to happen in my Ming Dynasty, and it will shock the big thing in the world." ”
Luo Yangxing thought about it and was still not at ease, and said: "The minister also went out of the palace to contact my father's former subordinates to help the emperor." In fact, Zhu Youzhen told this earth-shattering plan in front of Luo Yangxing, which made Luo Yangxing very moved, thinking that the emperor had regarded himself as his own person, and if this matter was successful, he himself would be the emperor's descendant, and he would also emerge in the Ming Dynasty in the future.
"No need, your father has been retired for three years, even if he is a former subordinate, it is unknown whether he is loyal to me or Wei Zhongxian at this time, I still have to rely on Jinyiwei and Tian Ergeng in this matter, I believe that Tian Ergeng is a smart person, even if there is no evidence for these things, Tian Ergeng can find evidence, not to mention ironclad evidence."
"But Tian Ergeng had a very good relationship with Wei Zhongxian before, even if he fell to the emperor at this time, his loyalty still cannot be guaranteed." Wang Chengen spoke his mind.
"So, I need someone else to do it."
Wang Chengen and Luo Yangxing glanced at each other, and they really couldn't think of anyone else.
"That's Commander Locke."
Luo Yangxing was puzzled and said, "What does the emperor mean by this." ”
"Today, you take my holy decree to Beijing to guard the troops, enter Tian Ergeng's mansion, if Cui Chengxiu is not captured by Tian Ergeng, you will read out the holy decree and say that Tian Ergeng and Cui Chengxiu colluded to rebel, and the whole family, regardless of age or age, will be beheaded." In the end, Zhu Youzhen's face was covered with frost.
He felt that he was walking towards a point of no return in the political struggle at this time, he knew that he could put Wei Zhongxian to death in this matter, for some reason, he was in a trance in his heart, could it be that he was really intimidated by the curse of Zhongxian's death and the death of the Ming Dynasty?
Wang Chengen and Luo Yangxing all came out of the main hall.
Dozens of forbidden soldiers went out of Ouchi and galloped on fast horses on the streets, although it was a little dark, but there were still some people in the market, watching the forbidden troops galloping on fast horses hurriedly dodge, and then cursed.
Half an hour later, Tian Ergeng and Hong Chengchou set off from the mansion to the palace, because Cao Wenzhao was outside the city, so he came later than Tian Ergeng and Hong Chengchou.
On the other hand, the eunuch Liu Tong came to Wei Zhongxian's residence, because the attraction of power made Liu Tong once again muster up the courage to face Wei Zhongxian, although he was a little flustered, but Wei Zhongxian didn't think much about it, just Liu Tong was afraid in his heart, when Liu Tong said what he meant, Wei Zhongxian thought for a while, and it was indeed reasonable, so he sent someone to take the seal letter to Liu Tong.
When the seal letter arrived in Liu Tong's hands, Liu Tong was surprised to find that it was not as difficult as he imagined, and then he was fanatical, feeling that he had stepped into the door of power with one foot.
After Liu Tong left Wei Zhongxian's residence, he couldn't suppress the frenzy in his heart, and even trotted all the way to find Wang Tiqian.
When he arrived at Wang Tiqian's residence, Liu Tong immediately expressed his intention, saying that he was out of the palace to do things for Wei's father-in-law, because Zhu Youzhen's holy decree had just been issued, and Xu Xianchun was imprisoned again, so Wang Tiqian was also a little cautious, and after asking a lot, he personally took Liu Tong to the secret road.
Liu Tong went all the way to Cui Chengxiu's residence from the secret passage, and no one would know that the fate of the Ming Dynasty was in the hands of a eunuch at this time.
In the hall of nourishing the heart, Zhu Youzhen sat on the dragon couch and flipped the chapter at will, while Tian Ergeng and Hong Chengchou stood below without anyone talking, the hall was very quiet, and then Zhu Youzhen put down the chapter and said to Wang Chengen next to him: "Prince, give the two adults a seat, I don't know how long I have to wait." ”
"Yes." After finishing speaking, he walked out of the main hall and beckoned the little eunuch to bring two chairs.
After Tian Ergeng and Hong Chengchou excused themselves, they also sat down, but both of them muttered in their hearts, who does the emperor want us to wait for?
Liu Tong arrived at the door of Cui Chengxiu's mansion, but as everyone knows, history has undergone a major change from this moment, and the slave at the door saw that it was the eunuch in the palace, so he didn't dare to delay, and he took Liu Tong into the mansion without reporting.
After arriving at the lobby, Liu Tong found that there were already many people in the lobby, these people were all high-ranking officials of the imperial court, and the Qingliu had a title for them, eunuchs.
Cui Chengxiu, Yang Huan, Tian Ji, Cui Yingyuan, Sun Yunhe and many eunuch officials were all in the lobby, and they all hurriedly stood up when they saw Liu Tong enter the hall.
Liu Tong was sweating, Cui Chengxiu hurriedly beckoned his subordinates to pour tea for Liu Tong, and the panting Liu Tong took a sip of water.
Sun Yunhe, who was the criminal officer of Dongchang, hurriedly asked: "Father-in-law, what can you explain at the age of nine thousand?" ”
"Everyone, it's a big deal, the emperor, the emperor wants to attack Gonggong Wei and everyone, Gonggong Wei felt the hostility of the emperor and the emperor, so he asked me to hurry out of the palace to find Cui Shangshu."
"Chitose has something to say to me."
"Chitose said, first, the first to strike."
After hearing this, the forty or fifty eunuch party members in the hall all gasped, of course they knew the meaning of this sentence.
