Chapter 80: Frustrated Wei Zhongxian
The steps were carried by eight eunuchs with big waists and round shoulders, and their steps were very steady, and the size of their strides was the same, so the steps were very steady, and they hardly felt a trace of bumps.
Wei Zhongxian followed the step by step and said with a smile: "Your Highness, this step is taken by the emperor on weekdays. Today, the slaves and maids are specially used to welcome His Highness into the palace, which shows His Majesty's heart for His Highness. β
Jiang Chuan pretended to arch his hand to the palace and said, "Your Majesty Long En is mighty, Jiang Chuan is grateful." β
Wei Zhongxian twitched the corners of his eyes when he looked at him, and whispered: "Your Highness, the Qianqing Palace is in the north, not in the east. β
Of course, Jiang Chuan was casually arching just now, and he was a little embarrassed to hear Wei Zhongxian say this.
At this time, there was a commotion behind him, and Jiang Chuan couldn't help frowning and looked back. Wei Zhongxian also lowered his face and turned back to ask what was going on.
A guard at the door ran over and said, "Gonggong Wei, these guards of King Qin will also follow the attack, and the villains will not let them, they have to break in." β
Wei Zhongxian was also embarrassed when he heard this, and couldn't help but look at Jiang Chuan.
Jiang Chuan glanced at Wei Zhongxian with a smile and said unhurriedly: "Father-in-law Wei, these guards of this king came from Liaodong, and they are not familiar with the rules in this palace. However, they are also hardworking, and they are afraid that there will be people in this palace who are not good for this king, and they ask their father-in-law to take care of them. β
Wei Zhongxian was taken aback, and said with a wry smile: "Your Highness is really joking, Your Highness is mighty, no one in the world knows, how dare anyone have such a lifeless mind." Since the rules are set by people, these soldiers are also loyal to His Highness, so it is naturally okay to follow His Highness into the palace. β
Jiang Chuan looked at Wei Zhongxian's embarrassed face, suddenly laughed, put his head close to Wei Zhongxian's ear and said word by word: "Father-in-law Wei, you are also the king's person, and the king will not hide it from you." The emperor's life is not wanted by the king now, as long as the emperor himself is in peace, the king guarantees that he can live in peace. In other words, if the king wanted to be unfavorable to the emperor, the city of Beijing would have come in, not walked in. β
Wei Zhongxian was obviously very surprised by Jiang Chuan's straightforwardness, and he couldn't say a word when he opened his mouth wide.
He knew Jiang Chuan's ambitions, but he didn't expect this prince to be so straightforward, and suddenly made him speechless.
Jiang Chuan chuckled and continued: "Father-in-law Wei, don't be so surprised with your expression, so as not to make irrelevant people think too much. This king can tell you that there is a big drama staged today, and you just wait to see the good show. Rest assured, this king will not stage a usurpation of the throne, at least not now. β
Wei Zhongxian was stunned for a long time before he finally came to his senses, nodded mechanically, and smiled at Jiang Chuan that was not much better than crying.
Jiang Chuan's words made him shocked and frightened. It was surprising that Jiang Chuan had just entered Beijing for three days and was about to make a big move, and it was launched in the palace. What I'm afraid of is that Jiang Chuan's big move is that he doesn't know anything about it, obviously Jiang Chuan doesn't treat him as a confidant.
This frustrated him a little. He thought that he was an internal minister who had taken refuge in the past, and he was definitely a pivotal role for King Qin, who had just entered Beijing and urgently needed help, but he didn't expect that King Qin didn't take himself too seriously at all, which made him extremely disappointed all of a sudden.
You must know that other ministers can still change their courts and become officials of the new dynasty again after changing the dynasty. But they eunuchs can't.
After all, everyone in the world knows that the eunuchs in the palace are the emperor's domestic slaves, and everything they have can be said to be given by the emperor, so the relationship with the emperor is one glory and one loss.
I haven't heard that after the renewal in history, the emperor of the new dynasty will have eunuchs next to the emperor of the old dynasty.
Wei Zhongxian knew this very well, if it weren't for the fact that he had formed that little incense relationship with King Qin when he first went to Liaodong to deliver the decree, if King Qin wanted to launch a coup d'Γ©tat after entering Beijing, he would definitely be one of the people who would lose his head.
It is precisely because he knows this very well that he does everything possible to show his loyalty in front of Jiang Chuan, hoping that he can have a way back.
He didn't dare to hope that he could continue to be in the scenery like today, he just wanted to be a rich man and be satisfied with the rest of his life.
But now it seems that King Qin doesn't seem to value himself so much, which makes him lose confidence in the value of his existence all of a sudden.
Looking at Wei Zhongxian, who was lost and depressed, Jiang Chuan was in a state of flux at this time, smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and patted the old eunuch's shoulder and whispered, "Grandpa Wei, don't think too much. This king does not tell you, but it is for your own good. The king has said that whoever is truly loyal to the king will not be treated badly. β
Jiang Chuan comforted him like this, Wei Zhongxian's extremely frustrated and frustrated mood instantly improved a lot, and he hurriedly said: "Your Highness loves the slave maid, it is the slave maid who thinks too much." β
Bai Mu rushed over at this time, and Jiang Chuan ordered: "Leave a team of people to guard the door." Remember, today's palace gate, without the king's order, can only enter but not exit. β
Bai Mu said loudly: "No! With a wave of his hand, a group of guards poured in from outside the noon gate, quickly disarming the stunned guards and occupying the noon gate.
Seeing this, Wei Zhongxian's mouth opened, but he didn't dare to say anything more.
Those eunuchs and palace maids who followed Wei Zhongxian were trembling with fright, everyone knew that something big was going to happen today, and they didn't dare to breathe when they bent over one by one, for fear of causing trouble.
Jiang Chuan glanced at the crowd and said to Wei Zhongxian: "Father-in-law Wei, restrain these people, if someone doesn't want to live, then just talk more." β
Wei Zhongxian nodded hurriedly, turned around and shouted loudly to the palace maids and eunuchs around him: "I heard it, if you want to live, lock your mouths to our family." If any gossip spreads, you will all die. β
Wei Zhongxian was nervous, and the eunuch's unique voice became even sharper, sounding very harsh, and Jiang Chuan couldn't help frowning.
Those palace maids and eunuchs were so frightened that they knelt on the ground and promised in unison.
It was not Jiang Chuan's intention to scare these palace maids and eunuchs, and it didn't mean much, he waved his hand to signal them all to get up, and gave in to move on.
Although the eight eunuchs with big waists and round shoulders were afraid, they still carefully carried Jiang Chuan and continued to move in the direction of Qianqing Palace.
To the Qianqing Palace, you have to pass through three palace gates, first the noon gate, and then the Taihe gate. Entering from the Taihe Gate will arrive at the three major halls belonging to the previous dynasty, which are the main places for the emperor to go to the court or hold major ceremonies every day.
After passing through the three major halls, you will enter the Qianqing Gate, and after entering the Qianqing Palace, here is the sleeping palace where the emperors of the Ming Dynasty lived.
At this time, the emperor was anxious and excited in the Qianqing Palace, waiting for Jiang Chuan Jiangchuan's audience.
