Chen Derun came, he was half-carried and half-framed, and saw Chen Derun standing upright, motionless, as if he was dead. "How do you send a dead man? Who did Xiao Dezi suffer? Ke Yinyue couldn't help but be a little frightened. Wei Zhongxian was also surprised, probed his snort with his hand, and said with relief: "There is still breath in his mouth and nose, I think someone has done something to him, so I will ask Da Lang to relieve him." ”

"It was someone who pointed out the acupoint." Tian Ergeng rubbed Chen Derun's armpit twice, and saw that his arm was slightly loose, but he still didn't wake up. Tian Ergeng saw that his face was flushed and he was sleeping soundly, and he smelled a faint aroma from his mouth, only to know that he was poured sweat medicine after clicking on the acupoint, and he was busy teaching someone to take half a scoop of cold water and sprinkle it on his face. In a moment, Chen Derun woke up leisurely, saw Wei Zhongxian and others surrounded by him, and was so frightened that he hurriedly turned over and knelt. Wei Zhongxian smiled, pointed his finger at the Qianqing Palace and said, "Little Dezi, what did you say in there just now?" ”

Chen Derun was at a loss in his heart, he didn't know how to answer, he lowered his head and said, "The little one has been in Kunning Palace, how can I know about Qianqing Palace?" ”

"Don't know? Just followed the queen out of the Qianqing Palace Gate and forgot? Mrs. Fengsheng lifted you to Kunning Palace, and you followed the queen wholeheartedly? Wei Zhongxian slapped the pole on his shoulder with his left hand, Chen Derun felt that the palm hurt more than hitting his heart, his body couldn't help trembling, shook his head and said, "The slave followed the queen out of the Qianqing Palace just now?" No, it won't! The slave was outside the Kunning Palace in the afternoon, and he was slammed on his waist by something, and he didn't know anything. When I woke up, I saw that I was nine thousand years old and Mrs. Ancestor was a thousand years old, how could I have come to Qianqing Palace with the queen? ”

Tian Ergeng said: "Look at the acupoint where Xiao Dezi was pointed, it was a very superior technique, and the hand was extremely heavy, and the acupoint was difficult to solve within five hours, and it was forcibly poured into the ** used by the Jianghu people, I am afraid that it has been six hours, and he has been hidden in the cave at that time, and he will never follow the queen to the Qianqing Palace." ”

"Is that Chen Derun, who entered the Qianqing Palace with the queen, a ghost?" Ke Yinyue was very unimpressed.

"It's not a ghost, it's someone else." Wang Tiqian said with a gloomy face: "Mrs. Ancestor, what do you see Xiao Dezi wearing?" His cloak must have been borrowed. ”

Keyin reminded him of the menstruation, only to find that Chen Derun only had a big red sticker left on his body, no long-sleeved dragging, no black gauze and gold curved hat on his head, the belt and tooth tag were missing, and even the boots of the red-faced gangster under his feet were taken off, and he asked urgently: "Physique, who do you say did it?" ”

"I don't think there are many people with such skills." Wang Tiqian looked at Tian Ergeng and said. Tian Ergeng nodded and said: "It seems to be Xu Yingyuan's technique, this person is not only a master of acupoints, but also a master of disguise. But what is his intention to pretend to be a little virtuous? ”

Wei Zhongxian said angrily, "What are your intentions? It's ridiculous that you hunt geese all day long, but you are pecked by geese. Who is that little Dezi? It must not be Xu Yingyuan, but King Xin. ”

Wang Tiqian woke up and said: "That little Dezi was covered by the queen's shoulders for most of his body, as if he glanced at the little one, but he didn't greet him, just lowered his head and side his face, and hurriedly followed. At that time, the little one thought that he was frightened by the illness of the Long Live Lord, but he didn't think that he was fake. He asked carefully: "Do you want to take someone to Kunning Palace to have a look?" ”

Wei Zhongxian became more and more displeased: "Physique, you are also shrewd and capable on weekdays, how can you encounter a big event, and you will be messed up, and your heart will be confused?" If there is no real evidence, how can you search? Is Kunning Palace an ordinary place? ”

Wei Zhongxian came to the Qianqing Palace, Wang Tiqian saw that his face was gloomy, and his heart was uneasy. At this time, seeing him scolding him in person, knowing that his anger was gradually subsiding, he immediately calmed down and said respectfully: "Nine thousand years old is a lesson." Nine thousand years old is a great talent, and it is difficult for ordinary people to reach it. The admiration of the minions is like the water of a river! ”

Wei Zhongxian felt that he was useful, stretched out his left hand, grabbed the fat wrist of the guest Yin Yue, held it tightly, and said with a smile: "Although you can't trespass into Kunning Palace, but the outside of Kunning Palace is not arbitrarily covered by the queen." First secretly surround the Kunning Palace, cut off its contact, so that it can not communicate inside and outside, and can not take care of each other, as long as the king believes that the people in the Kunning Palace, our family will see if they can hide for a few days! Wait until the emperor is in the sky, what's the use of hiding? Just get rid of King Xin in the palace, see who else dares to grab the throne again? ”

When Ke Yinyue heard this, she pinched Wei Zhongxian's arm, and said angrily: "You say it's just a scheme, but why do you grab someone's wrist for no reason, it hurts so hot!" ”

"Presumably nine thousand years old is used to it, the red sleeves add fragrance, and the jade wrist helps to make decisions, and I don't know?" Wang Tiqian said with a sneer.

Ke Yinyue snorted lightly and scolded with a smile: "It's rare that you also understand the customs!" Which one of them is good at eating? ”

Tian Ergeng laughed a few times and said: "It's ridiculous that the king of letters doesn't know whether he is dead or alive, so he actually sent it to the door!" ”

Wang Tiqian flattered: "Nine thousand years old, the destiny of heaven returns, the destiny of heaven returns!" Just looking for a crime of breaking into the palace at night, without asking for a name, he caught and killed, and unknowingly got rid of King Xin, who else dares to touch the nine-thousand-year-old tiger whiskers? ”

"Lao Wang, it's time for the dragon's beard!" Ke Yinyue thought that Wei Zhongxian had no beard for a long time, and when she woke up, she bent over and laughed. Wang Tiqian was stunned for a moment, touching his bare chin in embarrassment, knowing that he had lost his words, regretting it, and was stunned on the spot for a while, not knowing how to hide it. Wei Zhongxian's face turned cold, and he scolded: "It's all the time, but you're still laughing and having fun!" If you miss the big things of our family, I will teach you all to be unhappy! Dry body, send more manpower, secretly surround Kunning Palace, and don't let anyone go! ”

"Are you waiting for Huang Liji and Shi Feng to come out and then sit down?" Wang Tiqian asked.

Wei Zhongxian shook his left hand and said categorically: "No need. He who does great things must not have the heart of a woman, and it is better to kill a thousand by mistake than to leave a single person out. Soldiers are fast, and there is no delay! Then he stepped on the kneeling Chen Derun, and said: "Xiao Dezi, you should be killed if you make a mistake in reasoning, but the crime is not yours, and you have the right to write it down, and you are allowed to make meritorious contributions with the crime." If you mistake our family again, hum! You should know how to explain! "I didn't kick it down.

After Chen Derun sobered up, he already understood that the stakes were very high, and he thought that it would be impossible to escape death, but he didn't expect Wei Zhongxian to open the net, and the punishment was waived, so he kowtowed and cried: "The slave made such a big mistake, and he knew that he was sorry for the nine thousand years old, and he wanted the slave's life in exchange for the nine thousand years old who was willing not to beat or scold, so magnanimous, the slave felt so uncomfortable." ”

Ke Yinyue pulled him up, slapped his face, and scolded: "You can't make a thing!" Nine thousand years old is to see my face to spare you from death, get out of here and do things! If you're not careful, how many heads do you have? Chen Derun lifted his pants and walked away in shame.

Huang Liji and Shi Fenglai came out of the Qianqing Palace, and saw Wei Zhongxian, Wang Tiqian, Ke Yinyue and others waiting outside the palace, and they couldn't dodge, so they had to step forward to greet Shi Li. Wei Zhongxian laughed dryly: "What is the urgency of the two pavilion elders, if you have to wait for our family to enter the palace when your family is away, but you can't take the opportunity to participate in the impeachment?" ”

Huang Liji is afraid of his arrogance on weekdays, and sometimes he can't help but bend his mind to welcome him, deeply afraid that he will lose the black veil and live up to the ten-year cold window, and everyone dreams of getting the first assistant position. Although it was said that he was ordered to meet the emperor, but such a confidential matter was concealed from the celebrant and eunuch, and he was in the toilet, and he couldn't open it. Hearing his aggressive words, he was doubly careful, and said in a low voice: "Shanggong said that he was laughing." Benxiang and Fenglai were on duty, summoned by the emperor, and entered the Qianqing Palace at night, where would it be to impeach the prince? ”

"It's our family who misunderstood. Dare to ask what the Lord has summoned you for? Seeing that he was humble, Wei Zhongxian's tone softened suddenly, his face changed, and his smile was cute.

Huang Liji was speechless for a while, not knowing how to respond. Shi Fenglai hurriedly replied: "It's just to look at the emperor's condition." We have been on duty several times a day to visit and say goodbye, and it has been more than a month since such a routine work, so why did the Lord suddenly ask this question today? ”

"Why is there a cry in the temple?" Wei Zhongxian didn't expect him to be neither humble nor arrogant, which was very different from his usual flattery, so he dared to turn his head and interrogate, with a smile and a grim gaze staring at him.

Shi Fenglai seemed to have no cowardice, and said calmly: "The emperor just lamented the shortness and impermanence of life for a while, was disheartened, gloomy and sad, and could not help himself, Allah in the world also has human feelings, and it is not strange that joy, anger, sorrow and happiness cannot be avoided." ”

Wei Zhongxian saw that his words were not leaking, so he asked bluntly: "I heard that King Xin has entered the palace, so you must be discussing the matter of the prince, right?" Can you draw up a testament? ”。

"Definitely!" Shi Fenglai categorically vetoed: "There are only five people in the hall, and I guess the nine thousand years old already knows, and there is no king of faith." It's late at night, and Shang Baojian has naturally fallen into the lock early, so please don't come out of the imperial treasure, how to draft the edict? If you still don't believe it, you can search for your true appearance. Huang Liji also said in a low voice: "You can also search your body to show your innocence." "The voice is as thin as a mosquito's foot.

Wei Zhongxian stared at the two of them for a moment, holding the jade belt tightly with his left hand, and suddenly laughed: "The two adults are determined to take care of their lives, and our family will not hinder your wealth, I just want to inform the two of you not to hide from others, as the saying goes: There is no good thing to carry people, and good things do not carry people." It's a wake-up call! ”

Huang Liji bowed his head and replied: "How dare you, how dare you!" Where will the prince and the edict be missing? This matter is very important, and we are involved in it, and we dare not take a beak in vain! How can the two of us compare with Shanggong, I am really afraid. ”

Wei Zhongxian couldn't detect a trace of air in his eagerness, and secretly ruthless in his heart: When our family catches King Xin, we will teach you to quibble and excuse yourself? Seeing that Wei Zhongxian was silent, Ke Yinyue chuckled and said: "To say that the Lord Long Live is indeed a favor to the nine thousand years old, and yesterday there was an edict asking him to assist the queen mother to hang the curtain, he repeatedly refused, and almost touched the holy wrath, so he had to respond." The two of you are in important positions in the outer court, and there are many places to rely on in the future. If you are in harmony with the nine thousand years old inside and outside, echoing up and down, what else in the world can't be done! ”

Huang Liji chimed in: "The public service is high and the world is famous, and it should be the regent." The prime minister is old, and I'm afraid it's hard to make any efforts. ”

"It's good to have a heart." Ke Yinyue flicked her palm and said: "Contribute to the nine thousand years old, regardless of the old and young men and women, but ask for someone with a heart." Does Shi Ge think so? ”

Shi Fenglai said tactfully: "Nine thousand years old is my humerus minister of the Ming Dynasty, he works hard for the state affairs and worries for the king, and we contribute to the nine thousand years old is to contribute to the court, and there is not much difference." It's just a matter of regency, and the relationship is very high, but I'm afraid it doesn't conform to the ancestral system with the emperor's dictation? ”

"Do you suspect that the word is false?" Wang Tiqian's face sank.

Huang Li hurriedly added: "Whether there is fraud or not, I don't care. Feng Lai's meaning is that he thinks that there is no draft edict, and he is afraid that he will attract the world's discussions! ”

"This is what the emperor said himself, do you want to resist the decree?" Ke Yinyue sneered sharply.

Shi Fenglai was unhurried and talked eloquently: "The matter of regency started from Zhou Gong, but it was vague in ancient times, the time was long, and the details could not be examined, so it was difficult to learn. The Han Thief King Mang, Tuogu was restructured, and he was called the Auxiliary Emperor, which was really harboring evil intentions, and finally scolded, leaving a stench for hundreds of generations. So that the descendants are ashamed to say the word regent, for more than a thousand years, there is no successor, the reason is nothing more than shame and reckless thieves, how can the prince do this melon field and plum things, corrupt morality, self-defilement? Besides, according to the practice of the Jingtai period of the previous dynasty, the regent should be the prince to be qualified, and if the prince wants to do so as a different surname, I am afraid that there is no way to subdue the heart of the world, and it will be a piece of loyalty to the country and the people in the past! It is inevitable to give people a handle and give the truth to the mouth, so why is the public above the world like a person? If some small people take the opportunity to talk nonsense, so that the dog barks, it is really a shame to be named, and it is a pity for the public to steal! "The words are sonorous and powerful, and they are exquisite.

Wei Zhongxian's face turned pale when he heard this, he was very displeased, and said secretly: On weekdays, these ministers obey our family's words, how can they see that the Long Live Lord is seriously ill and our family is going to go to the backer, so they are so disobedient and collided? Seeing this situation, it is necessary to keep the glory and wealth in front of him, so as not to be teased by these repeated villains once he is down, and I don't know how to slack off and despise our family at that time? At the moment, he brushed his sleeves and said: "The matter is man-made, although our family is not a prince and does not have royal blood, but there is a warm intestine for the king and the country." What do you value in regency? Our family thinks that it is just a laborious errand, and it may not be more noble than our family's current position. Helplessly, long live the Lord has a purpose, and our family is the disposition of not daring to resign from the affairs of the monarch and the country, so I have no choice but to make it difficult. If you don't believe it, you can go back and ask the emperor in person, or you can play a copy by the way! ”

Huang Liji and Shi Fenglai saw that he was becoming more and more brazen, like a street pickleman, but they didn't know how to answer, and they didn't have the courage to speak out and reprimand. Wei Zhongxian stretched out his hand to stop and shouted: "Until now, you are still obsessed, our family has a long live lord's dictation, you think it is not enough to rely on, our family wants to see what credentials the king has?" Search! ”

Huang Liji and Shi Fenglai were shocked, and when they were about to argue, a few brocade guards came in the morning to arrest and search their bodies, and searched the holy decree from Huang Liji's sleeve. Wei Zhongxian laughed, grabbed the holy decree, and saw that there was no treasure on it, so he looked at them coldly and said, "What kind of holy decree is this?" There is no treasure, just a piece of paper, and it is easy to write about it and destroy it. How did King Shin ascend to the throne? With a few strokes, he tore the decree to pieces, and with a casual hand, the decree scattered like snowflakes in an instant. Huang Liji and Shi Fenglai didn't dare to say a word, and retreated to Qianqingmen tremblingly, Wei Zhongxian still felt that the remaining anger had not subsided, and he still had to ask, and a eunuch flew to the front of the shoulder to report: "The queen left the palace just now!" ”

"What? Where did it go? Wei Zhongxian was shocked.

"Long live the Mountain Shouhuang Pavilion, saying that it is to worship the moon and pray for the emperor."

"When you left the Xuanwu Gate, did you ever see the person who was born?"

"Nope."

"Who are the entourage?"

"The little one goes and gets the access book." The eunuch hurriedly ran back, and after a while, the eunuch Wang Chaofu, the leader of the Xuanwu Sect, hurriedly came and presented the entry and exit records. Wang Tiqian hurriedly looked through it and said in shock: "What? There is a little virtue! "It's like seeing a living ghost.

Wei Zhongxian snatched the book, fell to the ground, stomped with his feet, and sighed a few times: "That's it, that's it!" The king must be pretending to be a little dezi and getting out of the palace! ”

Ke Yinyue gritted her teeth and said, "If you really have the courage, it's a pity that you taught him to escape." ”

Wei Zhongxian said in a vicious voice: "If you want to deliver thousands of miles of rivers and mountains to you, I am afraid that your courage is greater than him." ”

"Do you want to take the risk of entering the palace?" Wang Tiqian asked in surprise.

"In a word? Hum! It's a big word! Who doesn't want such a quote? Since ancient times, the son kills the father, and the brother seeks the brother, is it not for this sentence? The more Wei Zhongxian spoke, the higher his voice became.

"It's not just a sentence, I'm afraid that King Xin still has a secret edict hidden in his body?" Wang Tiqian looked at Wei Zhongxian and said inquiringly.

"Needless to say, Huang Liji and Shi Fenglai must be the ones who drafted the edict. It's just that King Xin dared to enter the palace and was able to enter the palace? With such courage, it seems that he is really a powerful character! is not like Li Yongzhen said that he is untidy every day, has a sick face, and indulges in sex with his concubine. Wei Zhongxian was admired, not only a little frightened. Ke Yinyue and Wang Tiqian also looked at each other in horror. Ke Yinyue said thoughtfully: "It's for Xiao Lizi to see!" Just pretend to be a deception. ”

Wang Tiqian echoed and said: "It must be King Xin's obscure plan, I can't imagine that King Xin has already had the ambition to go east and mountain, so let's underestimate him." ”

Wei Zhongxian gritted his teeth and said: "Fortunately, King Xin has just left the palace, so he quickly sent men and horses to chase and kill, and ordered Jin Liangfu, the eunuch of the Nine Gates, to assist in the arrest of the soldiers and horses of the five cities." If you can hide from the first day of junior high school, you can't hide from the fifteenth, it doesn't hurt to escape tonight, he wants to ascend the throne, and he still has to enter the palace. At that time, our family had its own way to manipulate him, wouldn't it be as easy as catching a turtle in an urn! ”

"That's right! Like a moth to a fire, I don't know how many moths will burn to death on this throne? Ke Yinyue watched Wang Tiqian leave in a hurry, stretched her waist and said, "I'm really tired, go back and rest!" There are these children! ”

Wei Zhongxian said thoughtfully: "I'm not afraid that the fish will be unhooked, but I'm afraid that the hook will be rusty without the bait." Fish can't be caught, let alone a golden crow in the abyss? ”

"Nine thousand years old, long live Ye Bintian." Wang Yongzuo, the imperial brand of the Qianqing Palace, rushed out of the hall and exclaimed. Wei Zhongxian hurriedly entered the hall and saw that Tianqi was lying upright on the bed, his eyes wide open, as if he had infinite attachment and regret. Wei Zhongxian and Wang Tiqian fell to the ground, and the tears flowed for a long time; Ke Yinyue beat her chest and cried loudly, and the palace was in a hurry......

Note: During the Warring States Period, a person named Li Yuan in Chu dedicated his beautiful sister to Chunshenjun, who was pregnant after a month, and the younger sister consulted with Chunshenjun and invited herself to serve the king of Chu, and the son born to him later inherited the throne.

Note: During the Warring States Period, the giant merchant Lü Buwei dedicated his pregnant concubine to Qin Shizi, and later gave birth to Yingzheng, swept Liuhe, and went down in one day. Both stories are examples of stealing power from the country, and have been recited by many wolf ambitions in later generations.
