Chapter 13 Loyalty, loyalty, and great things can be counted

Seeing that Lu Fan's face was a little unsightly, Ding Baiying leaned closer to him.

"Hey, don't be unhappy, this is a beautiful difference, if Your Majesty can survive this catastrophe safely, you will be a minister of the dragon in the future, and you will soar, just around the corner!"

"Let's get past this first!"

Lu Fan snorted coldly and stopped talking.

Tonight is definitely the most dangerous night.

Although King Xin Zhu Youzhen has ascended the throne, in the entire palace, except for a few people, it can almost be said that they are all Wei Zhongxian's minions, who knows what moths will come out tonight!

In the evening, Zhu Youzhen, who had just ascended the throne, finally returned from the court, with a tired face, followed by several eunuchs, to the Qianqing Palace.

"Wei Zhongxian!"

The moment he saw the old eunuch at the head, Lu Fan realized in his heart, if there was no accident, the old man who was full of warm smiles and dressed in red eunuch clothes was the nine-thousand-year-old Wei Zhongxian, who leaned towards the government and the opposition!

"Your Majesty has been tired for a day, but there are still a lot of folds waiting for Your Majesty to be approved, do you want to present them to you now?"

Wei Zhongxian's voice was not as sharp and delicate as Lu Fan had thought before, but a little rough, if he changed his clothes and walked outside, no one would have thought that this person was a eunuch.

"No need, those folds, if there is nothing important, Wei Gong can just watch and deal with it!"

Zhu Youzhen, who had just ascended the throne, was only seventeen years old at this time, and a smile appeared on his very young face, "Before leaving, the imperial brother once told 'loyalty and loyalty, and great things can be calculated', the imperial brother believes in you, and I naturally believe in you!"

As soon as these words came out, Wei Zhongxian's eyes suddenly turned red, and his tears couldn't stop staying, and some of his old bodies trembled slightly, choking uncontrollably.

"The Emperor...... Your Majesty....... Old slave, old slave ......."

"I understand, I understand!" Zhu Youzhen hugged Wei Zhongxian, patted the back of his hand, and said very sincerely: "Duke Wei should take care of his body, now Daming is turbulent, there are Jiannu outside, there are rogues inside, and I am indispensable to Wei Gong's help!"

Zhu Youzhen's words were a reassuring pill for Wei Zhongxian, and he knelt on the ground without hesitation and kowtowed again and again.

"Your Majesty rest assured, for Your Majesty, for the Ming Dynasty, the old slave is willing to do his best to die, and he will ensure that my Ming Dynasty is foolproof!"

"Duke Wei is loyal, I naturally know, it's not early, Duke Wei, please go back, go back!"

A drama of deep love between master and servant was staged in front of Lu Fan's eyes, until the monarch and the minister were reluctant to separate, as soon as he stepped into the Qianqing Palace and closed the door of the palace, Zhu Youzhen's face became gloomy.

Ding Baiying skillfully handed him a wet towel, and Chongzhen wiped his hands for a long time before throwing the entire towel on the ground.

It's just that the next moment, he looked around a little nervously, and asked in a low voice, "In this hall, there is no one from Wei Zhongxian, right?"

"Your Majesty, rest assured, Mr. Lu and I have already probed inside and out, and there are no lurking personnel!" Ding Baiying replied.

"That's good!" Prosecutor Zhu You breathed a sigh of relief, "That old thing, I'm really afraid that I'll vomit it out if I look at it more, but I have to be false with him, this day, I don't know when it's a head!"

After sighing with emotion, he calmed down for a while, and then turned his gaze to Lu Fan.

"Lu Fan, speaking of which, this is the first time we've met!"

Lu Fan's slightly drooping head was raised, "Weichen Lu Fan, meet Your Majesty!"

As he spoke, he made a gesture of prostration.

"There are no outsiders here, so you don't have to be polite!"

Zhu Youzhen stretched out his hand to hold Lu Fan's arm, then looked at him with some guilt, and said, "Before, Ding Baiying and they thought you were a minion of the eunuchs, so they rashly did something to you, and I have already reprimanded them for this matter!"

"Aiqing, rest assured, when I eradicate the eunuch party, I will definitely compensate you, and I hope Aiqing will help me survive this catastrophe!"

"Your Majesty's words are serious, it is the duty of a courtier to share your Majesty's worries, how dare you be cheeky and rewarded?"

"Besides, I and the eunuchs are already like fire and water, how dare I not do my best for Your Majesty?"

What he said was said to have touched Zhu Youzhen's heart.

He used Lu Fan as his personal guard for entering the palace before, which was also carefully considered.

The most important reason is that because the other party and Wei Zhongxian have formed a mortal enmity, there is no reconciliation between the two sides, but there is no need to worry about Lu Fan's rebellion.

Secondly, it is also because there are not many people available under him, although he has also recruited some people over the years, but there are really few who can really be of great use at critical moments.

And Lu Fan, both in terms of skill and age, is very much in line with his psychological expectations.

Moreover, Zhu Youzhen is quite confident in his royal ability, in his opinion, a young man who is only sixteen years old is far easier to control than those forty or fifty-year-old old guys who are deep in the city government!

"Knock knock!"

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and outside the door, a shrill voice sounded.

"Your Majesty, it's time for dinner, it's time for you to eat!"

The moment this voice sounded, Zhu Youzhen's face suddenly flashed a trace of panic, and he looked at Lu Fan and the others in a low voice and asked, "What should I do?"

"Just let it in!"

Lu Fan's expression was calm, and he said: "You are the emperor, the Ninth Five-Year Emperor, even if Wei Zhongxian is powerful, he does not dare to directly rebel! As for some small tricks that secretly want to control Your Majesty, I will be careful!"

"Yes!"

Zhu Youzhen breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately reacted.

No matter how powerful Wei Zhongxian is in this capital, he is only a eunuch after all, and it is impossible for him to be the emperor.

Ding Baiying opened the door of the hall, and several eunuchs and palace maids rushed in, led by a middle-aged eunuch in his thirties, burly and tall, with a humble smile on his face, directing the entourage behind him to serve food.

Zhu Youzhen didn't have the slightest interest in that beautifully made food, and waved his hand after the dishes were finished.

"Stand down!"

The middle-aged eunuch nodded at the few attendants behind him, and after signaling them to leave, he had no intention of leaving the temple gate at all, and the smile on his face remained humble.

"Your Majesty, please let the slaves and maids serve you for dinner!"

Zhu Youzhen's face suddenly became a little ugly, how could he dare to eat the food sent by Wei Zhongxian?

"What is your surname?"

Lu Fan quietly came to Zhu Youzhen's body, faced the burly eunuch, and spoke lightly.
