The Emperor of the Apocalypse struggled to open his eyes and let out a low roar.

Zhu Youzhen greeted him in front of the bed and said in a low voice: "Minister Zhu Youzhen respectfully listens to the holy oracle!" ，’

Emperor Apocalypse patted the bed and said: "You have read the book 'Know the Way of the Sage' and be a master of the master's success' have Dao Mingjun 'diligent internal affairs' to be Yao Shun ·

Although it was expected, when Zhu Youzhen heard these words, his heart almost rose to his throat. Explain the aftermath's gone! Zhu Youzhen understood: 'He is the only legitimate heir. Seeing the appearance of the imperial brother, he was very excited, and the sadness of losing his brother and the joy of becoming the lord of the world were intertwined in his heart.

He only felt that he should say a few humble words, but he didn't know what to say, and he was stunned for a while before he said: "The emperor said this: 'Ministers should die!'" The emperor said this early... The emperor Da'an has a day when the 'ministers' dare not obey the edict! ’，

The Emperor of the Apocalypse shed two lines of tears and said bitterly: "I don't want to uh... But fate is in the moment, 'I don't deceive myself', and you don't deceive me······ Sit down and sit on the edge of the kang... ’’

Zhu Youzhen came to the side of the bed, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse trembled and stretched out his swollen and round hand to grab the placket of King Xin's clothes, Zhu Youzhen was startled, and hurriedly reached out to hold his hand.

"Imperial brother, you can't quit ······ again" Emperor Apocalypse held Zhu Youzhen's hand and said in an almost pleading tone: "You must promise me two things······ Treat the queen well, reuse Grandpa Wei.

"Hmm.' On this occasion, there is no heir but me, and I am resigned? Zhu Youzhen said. Emperor Apocalypse's entrustment was full of gratitude to the former point that he was "not a problem" because he lost his mother at a young age, and that he had always respected the imperial sister-in-law as a mother, but for the latter point, he could not agree.

Now that he has inherited the throne, how can he reuse Wei Zhongxian? Am I going to be stupid enough to put a eunuch on my footing?

He was never able to understand the role of Wei Zhongxian in the imperial court.

After the Emperor of the Apocalypse confessed his last words, his hand suddenly loosened, and he died.

Empress Zhang and Zi Youzhen cried when they saw this.

Wei Zhongxian didn't cry, he stayed for a while, he only felt that his knees were weak, and he couldn't help but kneel on the ground and muttered "Long live". 'Even he didn't know who he was talking to.' Kneeling there with red eyes, he was already panicking, and he also wanted to say a few polite words to Zhu Youzhen, but he found that the people around him cast hateful glances like blades on him, and his heart was cold.

This is not surprising, 'everyone knows that Huo Weihua is Wei Zhongxian's person', and there are also many people who suspect that the cause of the death of the Emperor of the Apocalypse was that he took the immortal medicine. But Wei Zhongxianbing didn't want to harm the Emperor of the Apocalypse, 'never...

That night, Zhu Youzhen did not leave the palace and spent a night of worry. Empress Zhang asked him to hide, saying that she wanted to protect him.

This statement makes Zhu Youzhen very uncertain. Although "Huang Peng" has analyzed Wei Zhongxian and will definitely not react, his heart just can't relax. Wei Zhongxian is powerful, 'if he takes the opportunity to make trouble', how can he stop it? In addition, 'he also quietly revealed that the queen was imprisoning himself in disguise' has other plans. So he didn't sleep all night, he sat by candle and watched the changes outside.

Zhu Youzhen is a very careful person, more precisely, "suspicious." Before entering the palace, he knew that his brother was going to pass on the throne to him, and it was likely that he would not be able to go home that day, so when he came, he hid some snacks in his sleeve, for fear that someone would poison himself in his meal. He felt that the royal brother had been poisoned, so he did not dare to trust anyone easily.

At this time, the person he missed the most was "Huang Peng," and he felt that "Huang Peng" was a person who could give him advice, and his martial arts skills were high, as long as "Huang Peng" was by his side, there would be no danger. He even felt that as long as "Huang Peng" was "willing to go to the border" or reused his senior brother Man Gui earlier, maybe North Korea would not lose the "Jin Kingdom" has already been defeated. If he chooses to reuse a person, there is no doubt that it will be "Huang Peng". Now the Jurchen people have set up their capital in Shenyang, and the "northern tribes have been annexed", and the Goryeo Kingdom has also paid tribute. Although Nurhachi died, his son was full-fledged and even more arrogant, but he believed that Huang Peng would have a way to pacify the Guanwai.

In the court, Wei Zhongxian and a gang of eunuchs controlled the court, and the courtiers complained a lot: "Since I want to inherit the throne, I must not let them do anything wrong." If I show dissatisfaction and 'want to cut their power,' they may deal with me, and 'I have to endure it' and wait for the opportunity. I don't want to be a puppet, I want to be a good emperor who is diligent and loves the people!

Wei Zhongxian couldn't sleep either, he had already sent Liang Bin to Songshan in person. He needs "Huang Peng" to come back and say something good for him in front of Zhu Youzhen.

This is destined to be a sleepless night, and the interesting thing is that Zhu Youzhen and the eunuch party are about to oppose each other, but what they are waiting for is the same person.

Finally, it was dawn, and Zhu Youzhen heard the commotion outside the hall again, and when he was surprised, the palace door was wide open, and a group of ministers came in in a crowd. After seeing him, everyone bowed down together and shouted long live, and at this time, Zhu Youzhen's heart was completely steady.

At the end of August 1627, 'Zhu Youzhen ascended the throne in the Zhongji Palace' for Emperor Chongzhen.

Unlike previous emperors, Zhu Youzhen did not hold an enthronement ceremony, and he also refused to hold a formal court meeting immediately after the enthronement of the hundred officials according to the usual practice, showing a kind of courage to turn things around. After Zhu Youzhen ascended the throne, Wei Zhongxian immediately wrote to resign. This is the practice of retreating as advance, he wants to see if Zhu Youzhen will obey the last order of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, if Zhu Youzhen approves it, it proves that he really sees himself as unpleasant, and if he resigns, he can at least hold on to his money and enjoy his old age. If not, he'll still have a chance.

Zhu Youzhen did not approve 'only blasted the so-called "Fengsheng Lady" Hakka out of the Forbidden City, and then arranged for her to be monitored in a residence outside the palace.

The Hakka family's 'Ming Yin Yue', also known as Ke Baba', is the nurse of the Emperor of the Apocalypse. Zhu Youzhen heard rumors that the "Lobbyist Clan" had "arranged for a pregnant palace maid to enter the harem" before Xizong's death, and wanted to pretend to be the heir of the Apocalypse. But the Emperor of the Apocalypse was already not in good health a year ago, how can he make people pregnant? In the end, I had to give up. Zhu Youzhen will not let such an insidious poisonous woman live in the world.

Zhu Youzhen directly interrogated in government affairs, and many of the eunuchs' crimes began to be exposed one by one. For Wei Zhongxian, 'these things didn't seem to him to be a big deal at all', but the change of emperor became the evidence of his incrimination.

As soon as there was a twist and turn in the impeachment of him, "he kept pleading guilty and resigning", but several times, "Zhu Youzhen made it clear that he was the first emperor's "Gu Ming Yuanchen." "He can not be pursued for his crimes", a few days have passed, and Wei Zhongxian's heart is becoming more and more bottomless, and he doesn't know what the result will be. Handshake dedication. At this time, two Jiangxi officials who "don't know the depths" wrote again: "Please ask the imperial court to allocate money to Wei Zhongxian to build a shrine in Jiangxi." This is in the Apocalypse years, of course, it is a good way to go to Wei Zhongxian to flatter, but in the capital, things have already been wrong, and Wei Zhongxian himself is eager to demolish all the ancestral halls that have been built in various places. Wei Zhongxian summoned all his brains and quietly discussed what to do next. Hurriedly said: "These two dogs in Shanxi who don't have long eyes are obviously deliberately harming our family!" ”

Before, 'Wei Zhongxian's forces were all over the yamen', and he himself was appointed as the governor of Dongchang Factory, and Cui Chengxiu, who was in charge of Jinyi Guard, was the secretary of the military department at that time, and more than half of the civil and military officials acted to the point of looking at his face. But as soon as the Emperor of the Apocalypse died, these officials immediately turned their faces and broke away from Wei Zhongxian's control, wishing to completely dissociate themselves from him.

It turns out that 'no one in officialdom is a fool.' Whether it is the eunuch party' or those who oppose the eunuch party, from beginning to end, it is actually a "private" word. When Wei Zhongxian was in his glory, everyone wanted to bargain from him. I can't get a bargain and want to destroy him' to replace him. Now that the emperor is dead, Wei Zhongsuo's career as a powerful minister is coming to an end.

The power struggle between eunuchs, relatives, and civil officials was actually nothing more than a struggle for the emperor's favor and support, and for being the representative of imperial power. Even if the eunuch group is in power, it only covers the sky with one hand, and its source of power is only the emperor to which it depends. When the emperor is dead, or loses the favor of the emperor, this power will disappear immediately, and the source of Wei Zhongxian's power will be destroyed, and Chongzhen will not continue to favor him.

This situation is flat, where do the eunuchs still have ideas?

Cui Chengxiu proposed a showdown like Emperor Chongzhen, willing to do things for him wholeheartedly, and few people responded. Choi Chengxiu thought very well, but will Chongzhen give them this chance? The only "Huang Peng" who could speak went to Shaolin Temple again, "although he has already sent someone to inform him to come back, but the road is far away", and it will take at least half a month to come back.

Maybe 'that's providence.'" Heaven will kill me. Wei Zhongxian lamented in his heart, 'Only now did he realize that there were few people around him who could be trusted.

Of course, this is not the will of heaven, 'Ao worships and goes to Shaolin Temple is man-made', 'the death of Emperor Tianqi is also man-made', and even the two Jiangxi officials invited Jiansheng Temple, which is a conspiracy of the Donglin Party to defeat him.

What is terrible is not the heavens' face, but the human heart.

Tian Ergeng said: "Father-in-law, those ministers keep impeaching, and this time the matter of the Xiusheng Temple has made them seize the handle, the officials in Jiangxi have never been on the wrong path with us, and they clearly deliberately want to kill us." Are we just going to sit back and wait? King Xin didn't like us in the first place, so Huang Peng didn't know what he said, so we couldn't count on him. Wei Zhongxian said: "Then what do you say?" ”

Tian Ergeng's eyes showed a fierce light, and he said ruthlessly: "I suggest that we use the power of Jinyiwei to kill all the officials who oppose us, and there is no one in the court, and the emperor can only rely on us, and then we will re-promote the officials." ”

This idea was immediately supported and responded to by a group of people, and when this group of well-dressed beasts said, "their own glory and wealth are the most important", and it is nothing to bring disaster to the country and the people. Usually familiar with the Four Books and the Five Classics, at the 'critical moment', benevolence, righteousness and morality are thrown out of the clouds.

Wei Zhongxian cried: "Our family should not control the government, and do not let the people click, recommend, and collect "Ao Bai Dynasty" The greatest sorrow in the world is this, if God gives me a chance to do it again, I must register a few more starting point accounts' every day! ”

Today's third watch will be delivered after nine o'clock. The second showdown between Ao Bai and Crazy is about to take place. （
