Chapter 491: Peak Duel

At this time, Wei Zhongxian sighed.

He knew one thing very well, his interests were not aligned with Concubine Zhang's.

Because what Concubine Zhang represents is the interests of the Zhang family and the crown prince.

Now that the Zhang family has lost Zhang Jingyi, they have lost their backbone, and they can't take any risks at this time.

On the other hand, the accession of His Royal Highness to the throne is already a sure thing.

For his mother, although she is only a concubine, and although Empress Zhang is not the biological mother of Her Royal Highness Changsheng, because she is the queen, she is naturally the queen mother.

Because she can endure and swallow her anger, as long as her children can be the emperor safely.

But once involved in this completely antagonistic situation, then who can ensure that Empress Dowager Zhang will not take this opportunity to lead other vassal kings into the succession?

This is not an unprecedented, after all, His Royal Highness Immortal is too young and too young.

Cui Chengxiu was anxious, so he eagerly said: "No matter what Concubine Zhang wants, I can't sit still, the Queen Mother's meaning is already very clear, godfather...... Even now, do you still want to be lucky? At that time, I am afraid that even if the godfather wants to go to guard the mausoleum, he will not be able to get it. Let's strike first, as long as we control the palace...... Then the next step is to temper the ministers. Those people at both ends of the rat naturally don't dare to act rashly, and finally ask Concubine Zhang to preside over the overall situation, what's wrong? ”

Wei Zhongxian frowned and said, "What's the difference between this and rebellion?" ”

He was obviously very disgusted by Cui Chengxiu's words, and couldn't help but scold: "Do you want us to end up being chaotic ministers and thieves?" We have been loyal to Emperor Daxing all our lives, do we want to disturb the world now? It's really going to be urgent, who knows what will happen? ”

Cui Chengxiu listened to Wei Zhongxian's words, couldn't help but stomp his feet, and said: "Godfather, godfather, now is not the time to learn from Lord Yue, when you continue to make decisions, you will suffer from it, don't you know this truth?" ”

Wei Zhongxian, who has always been known for his cruelty, sighed at this time: "We are just a eunuch, what can we think?" Now that Emperor Daxing has died, we see his bones......"

Speaking of this, Wei Zhongxian's eyes were red, and then he sighed again: "This corpse has been burned to charcoal, at this time, the bones of Emperor Daxing are not cold, and now ...... Don't make a difference. We know your loyalty, but for now we should be patient, and wait and see! It's just that His Majesty died in Liaodong this time, which is really strange, and this matter must be thoroughly investigated to the end. ”

When Cui Chengxiu heard this, he actually knew that everything was over.

He looked at Wei Zhongxian for a long time, and finally said with a wry smile: "Godfather, you and I have been father and son for many years, I have been taken care of by you, and I am the secretary of the military department...... Now, it is irreparable, so please ask your godfather...... Take care of yourself. ”

After that, he looked at Wei Zhongxian very seriously, and then said goodbye.

How could Wei Zhongxian not know that Cui Chengxiu was right?

His Majesty needs a nine-thousand-year-old.

But Empress Dowager Zhang doesn't need to be nine thousand years old.

However, he still has some illusions in his heart, thinking that at this time, as long as he shows some kindness, then Empress Dowager Zhang may pity herself as an old man in the palace, and she has served Emperor Daxing for a lifetime, maybe she can let herself go, let herself go to Nanjing, or go to Emperor Daxing's mausoleum to guard the mausoleum.

At this moment, a eunuch hurriedly came and said, "Nine thousand years old......"

Wei Zhongxian said coldly: "In the future, don't call it nine thousand years old, call it Grandpa Wei." ”

"Yes, Grandpa Wei." The little eunuch said in a low voice: "The Queen Mother is in the Fengxian Palace, please come over." ”

Wei Zhongxian's brows furrowed slightly, and he finally nodded and took a deep breath silently.

He hurried to the Fengxian Palace.

In the Fengxian Palace, there are the spiritual seats of various generations of emperors, and the spiritual seats of the Daxing Emperor have now been added.

In the middle of this hall, there is the coffin of Emperor Daxing.

At this time, there were white curtains everywhere, as well as white banners, and the eunuchs knelt left and right, prostrating themselves on one side.

The nobles in the palace sometimes come to worship.

And at this time, in the side hall of this Fengxian Temple.

Empress Dowager Zhang was sitting firmly on the chair in the side hall, she didn't apply powder, so she was a little tired at this time, but her eyes were quite sharp.

Several eunuchs on the side bowed respectfully and waited.

Someone brought a tea cup to Empress Dowager Zhang.

As soon as Wei Zhongxian arrived.

Empress Dowager Zhang bowed her head and said, "You're here." ”

"Yes, the slave is here." Wei Zhongxian squeezed out a smile and said reluctantly: "Emperor Daxing is newly mourned, and the Niangniang Festival is mourning." ”

"Mourning the family......" Empress Dowager Zhang paused, and then said: "These days, it is the enthronement ceremony, and the sacrifice of the emperor of Daxing, these arrangements, inside and out, are all busy with you, but you have worked hard." ”

Wei Zhongxian said: "This is a matter of course for slaves and maids. ”

"Your face is not good."

"Slave maid ......" Wei Zhongxian lowered his eyebrows and looked like he was willing to give in, and said, "Slave and maid are good." ”

Empress Dowager Zhang took a sip of tea, her eyes kept staring at Wei Zhongxian, and she seemed to have a deep fear of Wei Zhongxian, but she smiled reluctantly, and then said thoughtfully: "If you are busy, you can let the people below do it for you, Emperor Daxing died, you are Emperor Daxing's confidant, how can the mourning family not know that you have a deep relationship with Emperor Daxing?" At this time, Wei Banban must be very chaotic in his heart, but don't make mistakes in the chaos. ”

Wei Zhongxian was speechless.

He seemed to understand something about what Empress Dowager Zhang meant.

Although Wei Zhongxian wants to show weakness.

But that doesn't mean he's a fool.

At this time, the things that should be grasped in the hands should still be grasped, and only when they are grasped can they have the capital to talk about conditions.

So Wei Zhongxian staggered the topic and said, "Niangniang called the slave maid to come, I don't know what to send?" ”

"There is such a thing, there is a note here, which was sent by the celebrant ......" Empress Dowager Zhang said slowly.

When Wei Zhongxian heard that the celebrant had sent it, he was already shocked.

But soon, Wei Zhongxian's gaffe tried his best to cover up the past.

However, this passing gaffe was captured by Empress Dowager Zhang, who continued to observe Wei Zhongxian's reaction.

You must know that Wei Zhongxian is the master of the celebrant eunuch, and all the notes must go through him before they are reported to the palace.

Can ...... now There is a note, but it fell into the hands of the Empress Dowager Zhang without going through Wei Zhongxian!

This shows that the original monolithic celebrant supervisor, which should have been completely under the control of Wei Zhongxian, has now begun to crack, someone colluded with the Empress Dowager Zhang, and this person is ...... The status must not be low.

Wei Zhongxian's heart suddenly became vigilant, but he still had a docile look on his face, and said gently: "Oh? I don't know who is playing it? ”

Empress Dowager Zhang glanced at the little eunuch on the side.

The little eunuch stepped forward and sent a book of music to Wei Zhongxian.

Wei Zhongxian opened it, looked down, and his chest couldn't help but rise and fall.

In fact, with Wei Zhongxian's cleverness, he had already vaguely guessed the content of the song.

But...... When the real content was placed in front of him, Wei Zhongxian was a little uneasy.

This performance is the impeachment of Jiaxing Gongsheng Qian Jiazheng, and the impeachment is Wei Zhongxian's ten major crimes: one is tied with the emperor, two is contemptuous of the queen, three is manipulating military power, four are no two ancestors, five grams are knighted by the vassal king, six are no saints, seven are indiscriminately rewarded, eight cover up the border work, nine exploit the people, and ten traffic joints.

These 10 major crimes can be said to be very fiercely criticized.

This is almost equivalent to putting Wei Zhongxian to death.

Wei Zhongxian tried his best to appear relaxed, and he flipped through the charges one by one.

What is juxtaposed with the emperor, this is simply a joke, when the emperor was there, he didn't say anything, and now that the emperor of Daxing has died, you are attacking us in the name of this.

As for contempt for the queen......

As for the military power, this is even more ridiculous, the military power is granted by the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and the internal officials control the guards, which is the norm, and it is called incompetent if you don't play with it.

As for the absence of ancestors and ancestors, this is really wronged, no matter how stupid Wei Zhongxian is, he will not ignore the ancestors and ancestors of the Ming Dynasty.

This fifth article has reached a ridiculous point, and it is also a crime to cut the vassal king's knighthood?

The group of vassal kings has become larger and larger, creating a huge burden on the imperial court, and now the imperial court is worried about internal and external troubles, but the vassal king is very rich, this practice, is not good governance, is to reduce the burden of the people?

As for the unsightly saints...... Well, he admits this one, but the Sage of Confucius...... What does it have to do with him as a eunuch?

As for indiscriminately rewarding lords, covering up side work, oppressing the people, and so on......

Wei Zhongxian did not take this book as one thing, and at the same time, he was extremely vigilant about this book.

The reason why it is not the same thing is because this is a trumped-up charge at all, and it is obvious that he is pointing at Wei Zhongxian's nose to tell Wei Zhongxian, I am here to rectify you.

And it must be taken seriously, it is Wei Zhongxian who understands that this note is deliberately used to humiliate him.

In the face of the dignified nine thousand years old, just a tribute student, he actually dared to play, and scolded loudly, what an insult to Wei Zhongxian.

In other words, if it is true that there is indeed a crime, Wei Zhongxian may not take it seriously.

Can once ...... People are clearly slandering, and this is different.

After all, the powerful Wei Zhongxian was scolded by a cat and a dog-like reader, pointing his nose and scolding him, looking like you have the ability to beat me.

This...... It is clearly a deliberate attempt to shake his authority.

Wei Zhongxian looked at it, gently closed the music, and then raised his head lightly, and said meaningfully: "What do you think about this performance?" ”

Empress Dowager Zhang said: "The mourning family doesn't know much about things outside the palace, after all, the mourning family is a women's family, so I invited Wei to come here and ask your opinion." ”
