Wei Zhongxian knew that Kebaba was unwilling, but how could he be willing?

He didn't think of Kebaba's idea, but he had thought about it a long time ago.

So he immediately explained: "Madam, our family has promised to hand over the Jinyi Guard, if there is another matter of resignation of civil and military officials, even if Banzai is stupid, he knows that this matter was done by our family, which is tantamount to directly tearing his face with Banzai." ”

"Once you turn your face with Banzai, there is no room for turnaround, and if you don't succeed, you will become a benevolent. Are we ready to completely turn the other cheek with Banzai? ”

Hearing this, Kebaba's heart trembled, but he still said strongly: "So what? Now the entire government is almost in our hands, which annoys us, and abolish him. Throughout the ages, such things have not been uncommon. ”

Wei Zhongxian looked at Kebaba and said solemnly: "Madam, how is this different from rebellion?" ”

Kebaba chuckled: "Those things we did, are they really counted as lighter crimes than rebellion?" ”

Wei Zhongxian could see that Kebaba had lost his mind a little because of Banzai's alienation during this time, coupled with this incident.

He sighed heavily and said: "This is different, what we did before was to keep Banzai in the dark, and now if we ask hundreds of officials to strike the dynasty, it will be a blatant provocation of the imperial power." ”

"Moreover, throughout the ages, those who can abolish the emperor are all powerful ministers with heavy troops."

"Now the armies inside and outside the nine sides, although they can be dispatched by the cabinet and the military department, if they are really allowed to rebel with our family, how many people can follow?"

"Don't say that they are the civil and military officials who are superficially obedient to our family, if they really let them rebel against the Zhu family, how many people will follow?"

Wei Zhongxian's worries are not superfluous, but he sees it very clearly, and the biggest reason why he can have today's status is the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and it is the power of the acting emperor that can suppress everyone.

But people's hearts are the most unpredictable, whether they are all sincerely surrendered, and who can understand?

If you don't want to overthrow the backers behind you, those flatterers don't reach out to help, and they are likely to tear off their disguises and fall into the lower stone.

It is true in the official history, after Chongzhen succeeded to the throne, the first to fall to Wei was not the sworn enemy Donglin Party, but the eunuch party under his command.

First of all, Yang Weiyuan and Yang Suoxiu tentatively attacked Cui Chengxiu, the head of the "Five Tigers" under Wei Zhongxian, in order to test Chongzhen's mind.

Then the directors Lu Chengyuan, Qian Yuanyu, Shi Gongsheng and others followed one after another, and even pointed the finger directly at Wei Zhongxian.

Even the family dog pounced and bit it, what else did Wei Zhongxian do to fight with Chongzhen? So he disarmed and surrendered in three or two strokes, and let Chongzhen fall.

So in the face of the current apocalypse, he is even more unprepared to turn his face.

"Moreover, it was Zhu Yuanzhang who gave the idea to Long Live it, Zhu Yuanzhang was the god of killing, didn't he think that we might have the possibility of a fish dying and the net being broken?"

Hearing Wei Zhongxian mention Zhu Yuanzhang, the vicious Kebaba couldn't help but tremble, and instinctively felt that the palace had sharpened his knife, and when there was something unusual on his side, he would start killing.

Kebaba sat back in his chair a little decadently, feeling scared for the first time.

Wei Zhongxian stepped forward and comforted: "Madam, the more this time, the more calm you must be, and you must not be rash. ”

"Even if we lose Jinyiwei, as well as Dongchang, the cabinet and the six ministries, we are still in power."

Kebaba said dejectedly: "The concubine is afraid that the emperor is not satisfied, and he will have to make inches." ”

Wei Zhongxian said: "Madame, you can be relieved, if Banzai really wants to take back all power, he doesn't need to tell us about it at all, but should get rid of us directly." ”

"Since he didn't do this, it means that he still wants to continue to use us, and the longer it drags on, the better it will be for us."

"Because even if they meet Zhu Yuanzhang, how long can they talk? How much can he learn from Zhu Yuanzhang? ”

"If you want to teach a good emperor, it's not an overnight thing, otherwise, there will be more than one Zhu Yuanzhang in the Ming Dynasty, and Emperor Jianwen's fate will not be so miserable."

"As time goes by, the few tricks that Long Live learned from Zhu Yuanzhang have all been used, and it's not too late for us to get back everything we lost."

This truth was just figured out by Wei Zhongxian, and he said it at this moment, not only to persuade Kebaba, but also to convince himself.

After listening to this, Kebaba thought about it carefully and felt that it made sense.

Zhongxian is worthy of being a loyal and virtuous, and he sees the problem very thoroughly.

"Then let's wait and see what happens."

The two quickly came to an agreement.

The next day, Wei Zhongxian asked people to find his godson Tian Ergeng early.

Tian Ergeng, who looked ordinary and had a modest expression, happily greeted Wei Zhongxian, called his father a few times affectionately, and thought that something good had fallen on his head.

But the godfather gave him a head start, and even asked him to remove from the position of the commander of the Jinyi Guard.

"Daddy, but what's wrong with the child? Please punish the father, the child will definitely change, will definitely change. ”

"But the child still wants to stay with his father, saddle his father before and after the horse."

Tian Ergeng is like a child who has just been abandoned by his parents, and at the same time, he looks sad and frightened.

Wei Zhongxian sighed and said: "Son, this matter has nothing to do with you, it's our long live, I think your father has too much power in his hands, and he wants to take back some of it." The power of Jinyiwei is what Banzai personally asked for from our family, can our family not give it? ”

Hearing this, Tian Ergeng was like five thunderbolts, and he was stunned on the spot.

Wei Zhongxian liked this godson very much, so he simply told the cause and effect of the matter.

immediately comforted him, and when the limelight of this matter was over for the time being, he would be placed in other important positions, and he would definitely not be treated badly.

But compared with other places, Tian Ergeng still prefers to call the wind and rain in the brocade guard, which makes people feel frightened.

So he secretly decided, whoever sat in the position of the commander of the Jinyi Guard, how to go up, he had to let him come down, fabricating accusations and framing were my Tian Ergeng's housekeeping skills.

However, he can only accept the reality first, and then under Wei Zhongxian's instructions, he quickly wrote his resignation.

Wei Zhongxian did not delay, and immediately took Tian Ergeng's resignation to ask for the apocalypse.

But at this time, the apocalypse had not yet gotten up, so Wei Zhongxian had to wait patiently until the third pole of the sun.

After washing up and dressing up, the apocalypse walked out of the Xinuan Pavilion leisurely.

Wei Zhongxian hurriedly stepped forward to say goodbye, and Tianqi said a little embarrassedly: "Wei Daban has been waiting for a long time, and he was too late to review the chapter last night, so he was really tired and slept a little late." ”

Wei Zhongxian sneered in his heart: "A straw bag is a straw bag, our family doesn't believe that you Zhu Yuanzhang can still turn him into a Ming Jun." ”

But he didn't show anything on his face, but said respectfully: "Long live the dragon's body is just healing, it is not appropriate to overwork, and it should rest more." ”

After that, he handed Tian Ergeng's resignation and said: "Long live, the commander of Jinyiwei made Tian Ergeng try a wrong case, and he knew that he was ashamed of the imperial court and the grace of Long Live Saint, and he had no shame to serve as the commander again, so he took the initiative to submit his resignation. ”

Tianqi couldn't help but be overjoyed, this Wei Zhongxian's work efficiency is quite high, and he immediately took it and took a look, and sure enough, it was Tian Ergeng's resignation letter.

However, Tianqi raised his eyebrows, quietly walked to the dragon chair above and sat down, then looked at Wei Zhongxian condescendingly, and said seriously: "Wei Daban, didn't you promise that I would hand over the power of the entire Jinyi Guard?" Why is there only one person who resigns? Should the new commander be left alone? ”

With that, he threw the resignation letter in his hand on the table in front of him.

Wei Zhongxian's heart sank: "Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Yuanzhang, you are ruthless enough, it is not enough to forcibly take back our family's knife, but also to abolish our family's martial arts." ”
