Chapter 36: The Secret of the Red Pill
Zhang Zheng stepped into the main hall under the leadership of the guards, and everyone's eyes converged, he was already used to it, and he didn't feel anything unusual.
Xu Xianchun cast a vague look, Zhang Zhengxin understood, knelt down on one knee and said: "The subordinates have the trust of Duke Wei, and the Immortal Pill was taken away before the subordinates, and I also ask Duke Wei to punish him." ”
"What did you say?" Wei Zhongxian slapped the table and roared with a pale face, startling everyone present, and they didn't dare to speak one by one.
Zhang Zheng's heart was beating wildly, but his face still did not show panic, and he said in a deep voice: "Someone is one step ahead of me." ”
Wei Zhongxian's eyes glared at him, and it took a while for Zhang Zheng to get up, and his expression at this time was hideous.
The red pill is very important to him, the emperor is nostalgic for the harem all day long, and his body is vain, if he can offer the red pill, maybe he can save the sacred heart.
As far as the current situation is concerned, only the support of the emperor can hold his current power, otherwise, it will not be long before the entire Wei party will be wiped out by the Donglin party.
Whoever took the red pill was tantamount to killing him, Wei Zhongxian gritted his teeth and said, "Do you know who took it?"
Zhang Zheng took half a step forward and said coldly: "It was taken by the Donglin Party, and they brought the documents of the Ministry of War." ”
"How can this be reasonable, it is these Donglin Party people who are doing a good thing for me. Wei Zhongxian cursed, but his confidence was slightly insufficient, his power in the DPRK and China was lost by nearly half in less than half a month, if the favor of the Donglin Party was taken again, the day of defeat was just around the corner.
Zhang Zheng only had time to sweep the hall, many familiar faces, Jinyi Wei knew the same thing, Sun Yunhe of Dongchang, and two of the five biaos were all here, and there were still a few people missing, most of them were the unlucky ghosts who were assassinated.
He disdains these people in his heart, they are all a bunch of waste, if it weren't for Wei Zhongxian's support, they would have been calculated to death a long time ago.
In the past half a month, the people of the Wei Party were able to survive the attack of the Donglin Party people, and they still relied on the help of the Zhejiang Party officials.
In the final analysis, the Donglin Party is too domineering, above the court, they exclude dissidents, and try to dominate the court alone, making the people of the Zhejiang Party very sad, so that there is a union between the two parties, and there is also the assistance of the emperor, after all, which emperor wants to see his courtiers monolithic.
......
"Be bold and honest, you missed Duke Wei's big thing, do you know what to blame. ”
Zheng Qi, the head of the East Factory, suddenly jumped out and pointed at Zhang Zheng and asked, Sun Yunhe on the side had no intention of stopping, except for Xu Xianchun, who showed an expression of watching the play.
For a small role like Zheng Qi, he really didn't bother to pay attention to it, Zhang Zheng is now the envoy of Beizhen, and his status is only under the command of the envoy and the commander, if Sun Yunhe speaks, he is still interested in answering two sentences, but he is just a leader, he glanced at Zheng Qi contemptuously and turned his head to the side.
Sun Yunhe, who was on the side, flashed anger on his face, and said dissatisfiedly: "Shouldn't the pacification envoy give an explanation?"
"Sun Yunhe, what explanation do you want, whether you have a heart or not, what a crime, others are afraid of you Dongchang, but I am not afraid. Xu Xianchun almost pointed at Sun Yunhe's nose and scolded.
Although Jinyiwei and Dongchang are both under Wei Zhongxian, the two sides do not like each other, and the fundamental reason is that their positions overlap and they are fully crossed.
Jin Yiwei looked down on the eunuchs of the East Factory, and the East Factory relied on Wei Zhongxian, and also looked down on Jin Yiwei. The two parties have a lot of filth in private, and seeing that Sun Yunpeng is making trouble for Zhang Zheng, Xu Xianchun naturally will not endure it.
"Shut up. Wei Zhongxian roared: "The enemy is still fighting among themselves, don't they all want to live?"
The two parties who were originally angry suddenly came down, and Wei Zhongxian didn't want to offend Zhang Zheng and Xu Xianchun too hard at this time, if Jin Yiwei turned against him again, he would really be dead.
"You might take the red pill back?" he asked Zhang Zheng.
"Yes, as long as Duke Wei wants, his subordinates can take the Immortal Pill from the Donglin Party within one day. ”
Others may say that Wei Zhongxian doesn't believe this, but from his mouth, Wei Zhongxian doesn't doubt it at all.
And Zhang Zheng didn't say anything big, his masters have been secretly tracking down the whereabouts of the red pill, and as long as he wants to, he can take it back at any time.
"Don't be talking big about it. Sun Yunhe sneered.
Zhang Zheng just glanced at him and said lightly: "Master Sun, don't treat others with yourself, just because you can't do it doesn't mean that I can't do it either." ”
"You...... You" Sun Yunhe's face was flushed, and he couldn't spit out a word for a long time.
In terms of work ability, he can't compare with Zhang Zheng at all, in terms of strength, not to mention Dongchang and Jinyi Wei, even Beizhen Fusi can't compare.
"Qi Qi Wei Gong, it's just that his subordinates feel that it is not appropriate to touch the red pill at this time. ”
"What do you mean by that?" Wei Zhongxian frowned.
Zhang Zheng swept over everyone vaguely, although Wei Zhongxian still didn't understand, he didn't doubt Zhang Zheng, just waved his hand to let the others withdraw.
"Boom", the huge hall door was closed, and there were only Zhang Zheng and Wei Zhongxian in the huge hall, a few rows of candles flickering, and the space illuminated by the bright firelight.
"What do you think, say it. Wei Zhongxian's voice echoed through the hall.
"My subordinates got a message not long ago, and I heard from the imperial doctor in the palace that the emperor's body has been very weak recently. ”
"It does. Wei Zhongxian nodded.
"Then does Duke Wei know why a person who has just recovered from a serious illness can't eat great supplements?" Zhang Zheng smiled weirdly.
A flash of realization flashed in Wei Zhongxian's heart, and then he exclaimed: "Void is not replenished. ”
"The emperor's body is weak, and the red pill is strong, even some people in the martial arts can hardly bear its medicinal power, not to mention the existence of erysipelas, once swallowed, the consequences can be imagined. He explained.
As soon as Zhang Zhengyi said, Wei Zhongxian understood the connection, and when he was surprised in his heart, he couldn't help but feel a little frightened.
The person who can unconsciously calculate the emperor is by no means a small role.
Zhang Zheng didn't know that Wei Zhongxian had become jealous of him, but it didn't matter if he knew.
Now he can't move if he wants to, it can be said that Jinyiwei is completely controlled by the two brothers, no matter when, Wei Zhongxian will not dare to give up such a big help.
This time, no matter what one says, the Donglin Party will not be better.
......
In the evening, Zhang Zhengcai came out of Wei Zhongxian's mansion.
The capital fell into an eerie silence again, the Donglin Party got the red pill and was unwilling to waste energy on the Wei Party, and Wei Zhongxian also frequently haunted the palace, as if he didn't care about the imminent defeat.
No one could have imagined that just a few days later, something earth-shattering would happen again.
......
Early the next morning, Xu Xianchun's subordinates came to Zhang Zheng's house to invite him over, the two brothers didn't know what to talk about, and he also returned to the mansion at noon, and then the door of Zhang's mansion was never opened again, and it was closed.
......
In the courtyard, spring is full of spring, emerald colors, chrysanthemum-yellow flowers are in full bloom, and bees are buzzing and flying.
......
A burly figure was standing in the middle of the courtyard, holding a five-foot-long Mo knife in his hand.
The long knife was pulled out as fast as lightning, bringing a wisp of fresh wind.
Then insert it back into the scabbard and continue to pull it out.
Over and over again, the sound of the long knife rubbing against the scabbard grew softer and softer, and the knife grew faster and faster.
Every time he drew his sword, the momentum on his body would be a little stronger.
"Snort"
In the end, the momentum around him was condensed to the peak, and the Mo knife in his hand was cut out, there was no dazzling cold light, only a trace of black shadow, and a faint edge.
In just an instant, the knife was unsheathed, and the bronze man in front of him, his head fell to the ground with a clatter, and the cut was smooth and flat, without a little roughness.
