King Xin did not calm down because of He Xie's words, but the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, he pointed at He Xie and scolded: "You dog slave, how can you make this king not worry? When do you need evidence? This is a major case of rebellion, as long as Wei Gelding has any suspicions, this king will be dead! ”

He Xie lowered his head, concealed the coldness that flashed in his eyes, and still said calmly: "Your Highness, in the opinion of the ministers, Wei Gelding should be hesitating whether to support His Highness on the throne, so although he has some doubts, he still does not move, otherwise, I am afraid that the people of Dongchang will already surround the palace!" ”

King Xin was stunned, he was stunned for a long time before he reacted, and said incredulously: "You said that Wei Gelding wants to support me?" How is this possible? He knew how sad I was at the death of the Duke of Donglin, and he had warned me because I scolded him in the palace, how could he support me? ”

He Xie raised his head and looked into King Xin's eyes: "Your Highness, because the best heir in the emperor's heart is your Highness, all Wei Gelding's power comes from the emperor's favor, and he must consider what the consequences will be if he disobeys the emperor's will." ”

King Xin's eyes showed fear, and he said in a trembling voice: "But the imperial brother, the imperial brother, he is sick in bed, Wei Biao covers the sky with one hand, in case he puts the imperial brother under house arrest and does that rebellious thing, what can this king do?" ”

He Xie was disdainful in his heart, Wei Zhongxian's monstrous power gave everyone the illusion that he was very powerful.

But that's just that the emperor wants Wei Zhongxian to be strong, and if the emperor wants Wei Zhongxian to die, his monstrous power will collapse in an instant, and he will be vulnerable at all.

King Xin was afraid of Wei Zhongxian to the core, and in He Xie's opinion, he was simply scaring himself.

Did Wei Zhongxian dare to rebel? He didn't dare at all! Maybe he would really be like King Xin feared, and set up a new emperor across the sea to hide from the sky, but that must be after the emperor's death, as long as the emperor can still speak, Wei Zhongxian will not dare to do this.

King Xin couldn't see through this and was confused by the surface, so he was afraid of Wei Zhongxian like a tiger.

Even on the night that King Xin entered the palace, he was so frightened that he didn't dare to touch any food in the palace, and even didn't dare to sleep, so he wore clothes tremblingly and sat for a night, for fear that Wei Zhongxian would harm him.

But in fact?

After King Xin ascended the throne, it took a month to cut off Wei Zhongxian's wings in the court, and Wei Zhongxian did not dare to do anything at all. Then he said lightly, and Wei Zhongxian surrendered without any resistance, and he was killed.

The eunuchs were wiped out in such a light way.

It was only after many years that Emperor Chongzhen realized how important Wei Zhongxian was to him, and understood how stupid it was to kill Wei Zhongxian, but at that time he was powerless to return to heaven.

He Xie looked into King Xin's eyes and said, "Your Highness, the matter has come to this, our top priority is to let Na Wei Gelding completely change his mind and support His Highness, if this is the case, His Highness will no longer have any obstacles to his accession to the throne!" ”

King Xin finally calmed down, he stepped forward again, grabbed He Xie's arms, and his face was full of pleading: "Lu Qing, what should this king do?" Do you want the king to beg him? ”

He Xie shook his head: "Your Highness is so noble, how can you ask that eunuch?" What's more, Wei Biao's attitude is not clear, if His Highness rushes forward, won't he be guilty of His Highness's crime? Then Wei Gelding can completely push the boat down the river and directly report this matter to the emperor! ”

King Xin panicked again: "What should the king and the king do?" ”

"Your Highness must not come forward, let the ministers do the temptation!" He Xie said in a deep voice, "The minister will do his best to persuade him to support His Highness, if he agrees, if he doesn't agree, the minister will let that Wei Gelding's blood splash three feet!" ”

"It's not right, it's not right!" King Xin hurriedly waved his hand when he heard this, "How can this king bear to let Lu Qing put himself in danger?" Assassinate Wei Gelding. ”

He Xie was stunned, and then reacted, this mean little prince said this not because he was not worried about He Xie's safety at all, but because he was afraid that He Xie's assassination would fail and affect him.

"Your Highness!" He Xie Zhengse clenched his fists, "If Wei Gelding really refuses to agree, this thief will definitely be unfavorable to His Highness, so he must be eliminated!" Of course, before killing him, the ministers will first bear all the charges of assassinating the emperor, and will never implicate His Royal Highness, and then die with that Wei Eunuch! ”

"This ......" King Xin was stunned, looked at He Xie suspiciously, and still shook his head and said that it was inappropriate.

He Xie promised repeatedly, King Xin relaxed a lot, he took He Xie's hand, and said with a sad face: "Lu Qing, this king really can't bear you to sacrifice your life to kill the thief......"

He Xie said solemnly: "Everything is for the eternal extension of the Ming Dynasty!" Your Royal Highness, the death of the minister is a trivial matter, if the great cause of His Highness is accomplished, the minister will not regret his death! ”

King Xin's face was full of emotion: "Lu Qing, it's really this king's humerus!" ”

"Your Highness......"

"Lu Qing ......"

After being a little disgusted for a while, He Xie said goodbye to King Xin and left from the tunnel.

After King Xin watched He Xie leave, the expression on his face slowly disappeared, revealing a little suspicious.

"Your Highness!"

A black-clothed guard silently came behind King Xin, who did not look back, but asked in a deep voice, "Did you find out anything?" ”

"Your Highness, according to the lowly investigation, Lord Lu did say something to Wei Gelding today, which is said to have made Wei Gelding very happy......

"What?" King Xin turned his head suddenly, stared at the guards who were reporting, his face was hideous, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Could it be that Lu Wenzhao really betrayed this king?" ”

The guard was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "This, there shouldn't be!" Lord Lu was at the gate of the Imperial Garden, and was bullied by Xu Xianchun and other dog thieves, Lord Lu endured the humiliation and was able to escape, and after he went back, he immediately arranged for someone to kill Hokusai. Everything he does today is in accordance with the commands of His Highness. ”

King Xin's face was cloudy, and it took a long time to gradually calm down, and his face was full of doubts: "What did Lu Wenzhao say to Wei Gelding?" How did you please the old thief? ”

The guard thought for a while and said, "Your Highness, Lord Lu has always had a good reputation outside, and it is not very good......

King Xin smiled: "This king almost forgot, Lu Yu mustache......"

He said contemptuously: "If it weren't for the fact that this king has no one to use, how could such a despicable and shameless person be used?" ”

The guard wanted to explain that the whiskers were just Lord Lu's disguise, but when he thought of this master's suspicion, he couldn't help but swallow back the words that came to his mouth.

King Xin still had doubts in his heart, squinted his eyes and muttered: "This Lu Wenzhao, the look in this king's eyes today is very strange, he definitely has something to hide from this king......"

He hesitated a little and regretted a little, he shouldn't have sent Lu Wenzhao to see Wei Zhongxian, in case Lu Wenzhao really had a problem......

But he felt that Lu Wenzhao should not betray him, and for a while, the emotions of worry, fear, doubt, and entanglement continued to change in his heart.

In a humble room, Shen Lian's embroidered spring knife was on Hokusai's neck, and he was also in endless entanglement.

Hokusai, on the other hand, closed his eyes, his body trembling with fear, and two lines of tears slipped quietly from the corners of his eyes.

"Let's go!"

Suddenly, Shen Lian seemed to have been drained of all his strength, and then retreated, hanging down the knife in his hand.

He lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "Leave the capital, go as far as possible, and never come back!" ”

Hokusai slowly opened his eyes and looked at Shen Lian with an extremely complicated look.

Shen Lian didn't look at her, and pointed at the door with a knife: "Before I change my mind, get out!" ”
