Sending Wei Liangqing away, Wei Zhongxian sat on the recliner and sulked. Since defeating all political enemies and monopolizing the dynasty, the only person who can make this nine-thousand-year-old sulk and helpless is his nephew Wei Liangqing.

At the beginning, he came to the Forbidden City alone from Suning Town, carrying the scattered silver taels that his family had made together. started from a small eunuch at the bottom, and loyally supported Zhu Youxiao, the emperor's grandson who was the least favored at that time. In more than 30 years of national capital disputes, he has always loved and been very obedient to Zhu Youxiao, the little emperor who is not treated by Wanli.

Finally, the invincible Concubine Zheng Guifei and Zhu Changxun were defeated, and they had never fought against the almost insoluble organization of Daming Wenchen. Wanli, Taichang two emperors died one after another within a month, and the most unfavored little emperor Sun Zhu Youxiao actually became the emperor.

This fifty-three-year-old eunuch who didn't even know a word became a eunuch with a pen, and all the important official documents of the empire had to pass through his hands before they could be issued.

In the next seven years, after countless large and small, dangerous games, he defeated the invincible Donglin Party. In the court of Nuoda, no one can point fingers at him, and no one dares to oppose him again.

But after all, he is a eunuch, and his rights come from the emperor's trust in him, once he dies one day, or the holy family is gone, all his efforts will be in vain. Under the nest, Ann has finished his eggs, and his relatives will inevitably be wiped out at that time.

So he desperately accumulated military merits for his nephew, in order to make the Wei family a noble who rested with the country, and enjoyed wealth and wealth with the Ming Dynasty like the Xu family, the Duke of Wei.

But this nephew of his own, who is really not a weapon, paved all the roads for him, and he still cowers. Which small opportunity for me at the beginning was not something I fought hard for.

As the saying goes, there are people in the court who are easy to do, and for Wei Liangqing, there are not only people in the court, but also the lackeys of the Wei family. Who dares to cheat on grain and grass weapons, give orders, and which arrogant soldiers dare not obey, such a person commands superior forces to fight, as long as he is not too faint and frequent, it is too difficult to lose.

When Wei Zhongxian was sighing for a long time, a little family member bowed in and said, "Grandpa Chitose, Luoyang Fuwangfu sent someone to ask to see your old man, and he is waiting outside. ”

"Fu Wang? He won't send another feudal official to our family, this kid may cause more trouble than his father, and in the eyes of those Donglin sour Confucians, he is about to catch up with our family's hate. Wei Zhongxian pondered for a while, but still spoke: "Let him in." ”

Zhou Shuye will die for the first time when he saw this world-famous eunuch, with his head bowed and his hands bowed, more like a eunuch than this real eunuch. Seeing that he was so submissive, Wei Zhongxian first had a good impression in his heart, and asked, "The prince sent you, what's the matter?" ”

Although Zhou Shuye looked flattering and humble, compared to the master Zhu Yousong, who he really agreed with in his heart, he was not afraid of the eunuch in front of him at all. His flattery, more like a protective color of his, took out a piece of Chengxintang paper from his sleeve, held it with both hands, and said in front of Wei Zhongxian: "The prince specially instructed the villain to give this piece to Chitose first, and Chitose agreed before he dared to enter the emperor." ”

As the only illiterate Bingbi eunuch since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Wei Zhongxian carried a few clever and capable little eunuchs with him. The little eunuch standing beside him took the paper and read it to him slowly.

Zhou Shuye nervously observed Wei Zhongxian's expression, only to see that the more he listened, the more frowning he became, and before he could finish listening, he waved his hand impatiently, and the little eunuch immediately stopped reading and stood aside with his head down.

"The imperial court has been using troops for many years, the war in Liaodong is tight, and the annual salary in Liaodong is not enough, how can there be extra money and food."

Zhou Shuye looked left and right, Wei Zhongxian saw his movements, understood what he meant, and said: "The little eunuchs here are all my henchmen, if you have anything to say, just say it directly, don't do these small actions for our family." ”

"Grandpa Chitose, before the villain came, the prince instructed that if the treasury was short of money and food, the prince was willing to pay for it himself and recruit soldiers and horses to pacify the thieves."

Wei Zhongxian was stunned when he heard this, snatched the chapter and threw it on the ground.

"King Xiaofu is so bold, a vassal king intends to raise soldiers and horses, what does he want to do?"

Zhou Shuye's forehead was full of beads of sweat, rubbing out, his legs bent, kneeling on the ground and saying: "Lord Wang, he is dedicated to the public, and he really thinks about the people of Luoyang Mansion." ”

"Bastard, you still dare to bully our family, am I Wei Zhongxian really a fool?"

Wei Zhongxian went from a small eunuch at the bottom to a person below 10,000 people now, of course he is not a fool.

Zhou Shuye saw that although he was a eunuch, the kind of fierce momentum that had been in a high position for a long time was unbearable. trembling and said: "Don't hide it from Grandpa Chitose, the prince does have selfish intentions." ”

"Humph! Tell me, what does he want to do? ”

"Not long ago, Wang Yinchang led people to surround the palace, and the prince was frightened a lot, and wanted to take advantage of this anti-thief to recruit a private soldier to protect the safety of the palace. The villain deserves death, I don't know that Grandpa Chitose is as wise as a torch, and he shouldn't hide his grandfather. ”

Wei Zhongxian pondered for a while, the words of the person in front of him were reasonable, Luoyang to the capital, the horse could arrive in three days, he just wanted to rebel, and he didn't have that opportunity, mobilizing people from the Beijing camp could destroy him in an instant.

"You go back and pass the word to King Xiaofu, so that he can be his rich and noble prince in peace, and don't have out-of-the-ordinary thoughts. Although our family has received a lot of silver from the Fuwang Mansion, he has to do less forbidden things, otherwise our family will not be able to protect him. ”

"The villain obeyed, and the villain wrote it down."

Wei Zhongxian looked at him with six gods and no master, panicked and uneasy, and looked at him with disdain, and said: "The matter of a gust of wind against thieves, the imperial court has sent a large army to quell the chaos, you don't have to be afraid." They are all high-spirited men, and they are a little bolder. ”

Zhou Shuye lay on the ground and kept nodding, Wei Zhongxian didn't dare to say anything when he saw his horror, and said in disgust: "If there is nothing to do, let's retreat, our family will go into the palace to accompany the emperor to enjoy the moon and drink." ”

Zhou Shu crawled out of the room at night, Wei Zhongxian laughed, and said to the little eunuch next to him: "Xiaofu Wang is a prince, but I didn't expect that there are all such unsuccessful goods around me. ”

The little eunuch echoed and laughed a few words playfully, and after Wei Zhongxian left, he looked at the piece that was thrown on the ground. This piece is made of Chengxintang paper, this kind of paper is extremely valuable, the little eunuch knows the text and hyphenation, is a master of knowledge, and recognizes it at a glance, and is a little reluctant for a while. muttered: "In the end, it is the Fu Wangfu, and the wealth is rich,"

After speaking, he rolled his eyes, bent down to pick up the music and hide it in his sleeve, quickly picked up Wei Zhongxian, and accompanied him into the palace to drink.
