Sword Xia of the Shu Mountains Chapter 50: Emperor Wanli decides to govern

After Wu Ruoyun entered the Taimiao, he saw that the face of Emperor Wanli had aged a lot in one day, and his complexion was no longer the same as when he played the "Spirit of All Things" sheet music with her in the imperial garden in the morning. So ruddy, he lowered his head like a dead ash and was very haggard, completely lost the face and self-esteem that an emperor should have, and his eyes were full of melancholy and sadness, as if he was humiliated and very wronged. The emperor of a dignified generation was once again locked in such a narrow corner and endured like prisoners, which is really a shame for Emperor Wanli.

"The Emperor"

Wu Ruoyun stood beside him and called out softly. Emperor Wanli raised his head and glanced at Wu Ruoyun, who was like a goddess in his eyes.

"Miss Wu, what are you doing here?"

Wu Ruoyun replied

"I'm here to say something to the emperor"

"What do you want to tell me? I'm no longer the emperor, but a prisoner of the Donglin party members, and I have no right to interfere with your freedom anymore; what you said to me this morning, I am here I thought about it carefully in my heart, and I think what you said is right; since you don't like me in your heart, I will never get your heart. Even if you stay by my side, it's just a decoration. I figured it out, from tomorrow you can leave the palace at any time and go back to your prime minister's office to wait for your brother Lingyun to come back from the battlefield."

And Wu Ruoyun ignored what Emperor Wanli said to her. She cut to the point and said what she wanted to say

"Actually, it doesn't matter to Ruoyun whether or not to go back to the Prime Minister's Office. Ruoyun came here today to persuade the emperor to cheer up and not be depressed because he was imprisoned by the Donglin party members"

After listening to Wu Ruoyun's words, Emperor Wanli sighed and said

"As the monarch of a country, I have no power to govern my own country. Even if I hold a wedding banquet in the palace, I will be charged and subject to others. What kind of emperor am I?"

"No, Your Majesty, please don't say that, as long as you become the Emperor of Heaven, you will be the Emperor for the rest of your life, no matter what you are now, in Ruoyun's mind, you will always be the Emperor, and always belong to my Ming Dynasty. Son of Heaven, this can't be changed by anyone, how can you give up on yourself like this"

"I know what you're talking about, but what I want is the power that the emperor should have, not the slaughtered, nominal puppet like he is now"

"You have to ask yourself this"

Wu Ruoyun's words made Emperor Wanli's heart startled immediately, he raised his head and looked at Wu Ruoyun's big and beautiful eyes with a puzzled expression and asked

"What did you say?"

"Your Majesty, do you know why your power fell into the hands of the Donglin Party members? It's all caused by you. If you, Your Majesty, can be diligent in political affairs, how would you put your efforts in the Jiangshan Society of Daming? Your powers and responsibilities are completely entrusted to Brother Lingyun, if you do not entrust your powers and responsibilities to Brother Lingyun, how can the Donglin party members take away the power you should have.”

As soon as Wu Ruoyun said this, Emperor Wanli was speechless after hearing it. He felt in his heart that what she said was reasonable, so Wu Ruoyun went on to say

"As the ruler of a country, you must not become so self-sacrificing because you have no power, because you are not only the emperor of my Ming Dynasty, but also the **** in the hearts of thousands of people. Since you are precious For the emperor, you have to be strong, you can't admit defeat in front of the Donglin party members, you should prove to them that you have the ability and obligation to govern this country instead of sinking like you are now"

After listening to Wu Ruoyun's words, Emperor Wanli slowly raised his head and then stood up from his seat with his back to Wu Ruoyun, constantly thinking about what Wu Ruoyun had just said to him, and involuntarily muttering in his mouth

"I am the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and I must never submit to the Donglin party members"

At this time, Emperor Wanli suddenly turned his head and put his hand on Wu Ruoyun's shoulder with a smile and said with heart

"Miss Wu, you're right, I am the son of the Great Ming Dynasty, and the people of the Donglin Party are just my assistant ministers. The country of the Ming Dynasty should still need me, and I really can't let them look down on me. Wu Girl, thank you, your words made me finally understand, after I go out, I will definitely be diligent in the administration of the people, no longer lazy, and be a truly good emperor"

The words of Emperor Wanli made Wu Ruoyun feel happy for a while, she was very happy that the emperor finally figured it out

"It's great that the emperor can understand that, Ruoyun is really happy for the emperor"

When Wu Ruoyun finished speaking, the gate of the Taimiao Temple was once again opened by the guards guarding the Taimiao Temple; when the door was slowly opened, a familiar figure walked in from the door, she was the Empress Zheng Guifei . When Concubine Zheng walked in from outside the Taimiao Temple, she saw that Emperor Wanli was with Wu Ruoyun at this time, and they were hooking their shoulders and arms, which seemed to be extraordinarily affectionate, which made Concubine Zheng feel somewhat unhappy; After entering, Emperor Wanli let go of Wu Ruoyun and said to her with a smile

"Yingying, you also came to see me"

Zheng Guifei did not give Emperor Wanli a good look, she teased with a gloomy face and angrily

"Since the emperor is accompanied by a beautiful woman like a flower like jade, naturally you don't need my yellow-faced old woman to accompany you"

After listening to Concubine Zheng's words, Wu Ruoyun quickly explained

"Sister, you misunderstood, the emperor was just a little excited just now, not what my sister imagined"

"Sister, you have more time to accompany the emperor to exchange piano skills in the imperial garden, sing and talk about the experience, let my sister take care of the emperor here today"

"Well, since I have my sister here, I'm relieved, then my sister will leave"

Wu Ruoyun was about to leave after speaking, but she didn't know that something unexpected happened to her. When she was about to step out of the door of the Taimiao Temple, she was suddenly bitten by a very poisonous black snake. After being bitten by a poisonous snake, Wu Ruoyun felt a sharp pain in her leg, but she fainted on the ground in desperation, and the poisonous snake died inexplicably after sucking the blood from Wu Ruoyun's feet. After seeing this situation, Emperor Wanli and Concubine Zheng Gui immediately carried Wu Ruoyun, who had fainted, back to the Taimiao Temple, and called out while pinching her.

"Miss Wu, wake up quickly"

"Sister, wake up quickly, but don't scare my sister"

In order to save his beloved woman, Emperor Wanli thought of a way to save people. He wanted to use his mouth to **** the poisonous blood from Wu Ruoyun's legs to save Wu Ruoyun's life; and there was a reason why he decided to do this Yes, Wu Ruoyun's foot was bitten by a poisonous snake. If the poisonous blood on her wound is not removed, when the poisonous blood seeps into her body, she will surely die. Besides, if the imperial doctor is not around, the water will definitely not be able to save the near fire. , there is no other way than this. Before making this decision, Emperor Wanli had already made a very big determination in his heart, he ordered Concubine Zheng beside her

"Yingying, you go to call the imperial doctor immediately, hurry up"

"Yes, Your Majesty"

After Concubine Zheng went out, Emperor Wanli put down his identity as the 95th Honor without hesitation, pointed his mouth at the wound on Wu Ruoyun's leg, sucked the poisonous blood from the wound into his mouth little by little, and then Then he spit out the poisonous blood he sucked out on the ground little by little. After he had taken six mouthfuls of poisonous blood, his consciousness became blurred, and he felt dizzy in front of his eyes. It seemed that he had been poisoned by a snake. When he lost consciousness and collapsed to the ground, Concubine Zheng rushed in from outside the Taimiao with an imperial doctor. After seeing Emperor Wanli fainted, Concubine Zheng rushed to his side and slapped his body continuously

"Your Majesty, wake up, Your Majesty"

At this time, the imperial doctor standing beside her said

"Niang Niang, you don't have to worry, Wei Chen has a way to wake the emperor up"

After finishing speaking, the imperial physician found a pill to treat snake venom in the medicine box he carried with him, and then let Emperor Wanli take it; just after the imperial physician fed Emperor Wanli a snake venom pill, Wu Ruoyun finally woke up. After seeing the Emperor Wanli, who had collapsed to the ground at this time, she quickly realized the seriousness of the matter, so she hurriedly rushed to Emperor Wanli and called out

"Your Majesty, how are you? Your Majesty"

On the other hand, Concubine Zheng rudely pushed her away from Emperor Wanli and said with a gloomy face

"Don't be merciless here"

"Sister, what did you say?"

"You don't want to be a fool here. If you didn't let the emperor **** the snake venom from your feet, how could the emperor faint? You still have the face to care about the emperor. Do you think you are worthy?"

"Sister, I don't understand what you're talking about? I fainted and didn't know the emperor was sucking blood for me"

"If it wasn't for the fact that you were bitten by a snake, how could the emperor **** blood for you? You can't compare to the emperor. If there is anything wrong with the emperor, I only ask you"

When Concubine Zheng finished speaking, Emperor Wanli finally regained a little consciousness. At this time, he was closing his eyes and calling out Wu Ruoyun's name indistinctly

"Ruoyun, Ruoyun"

After hearing Emperor Wanli's shout, Wu Ruoyun rushed to his side and responded

"Your Majesty, Ruoyun is here, Ruoyun is here"

At this time, after seeing this scene, Concubine Zheng turned pale with anger, and her eyes glowed like fire. After hearing Wu Ruoyun's voice, Emperor Wanli immediately took Wu Ruoyun's hand and said

"Ruoyun, is it really you?"

"Yes, it's me, Your Majesty"

Wu Ruoyun kept answering Emperor Wanli so that Emperor Wanli could regain consciousness as soon as possible

"You've just been bitten by a snake, are you alright!"

"I'm fine, Your Majesty. Why do you **** the venom from my feet, don't you know it's dangerous?"

After listening to Wu Ruoyun's words, Emperor Wanli said softly

"As long as you can be fine, I will be willing to let me do no matter how dangerous things are, because you are everything to me"

As soon as Emperor Wanli said these words, Concubine Zheng, who was standing beside him, felt disheartened after hearing it, and a sour taste rushed to her heart, making her really reluctant to stay here

"Your Majesty, Yingying is leaving"

Concubine Zheng rushed out of the gate of the Taimiao without waiting for Emperor Wanli to respond. At this moment, Emperor Wanli did not have so much time to pay attention to Concubine Zheng's emotions, because Wu Ruoyun was the only thing he cared about.

"By the way, Miss Wu, isn't your foot bitten by a poisonous snake? Let the imperial doctor see it"

"Hmm"

So, the imperial physician began to apply medicine to Wu Ruoyun's right foot. After a while, the imperial physician gave Wu Ruoyun the medicine to treat the snake venom and bandaged her. After the dressing, the imperial physician said

"Your feet are all right, because the emperor just sucked half of the snake venom from your feet for you, and your poison is relatively small"

After speaking, the imperial physician said to Emperor Wanli again

"Your Majesty, Wei Chen used snake venom pills to remove half of the snake venom from your body just now. In addition, I also prescribed a prescription for you. As long as you take my decoction on time every day, Your Majesty, you can completely remove the remaining snake venom from your body. , you can rest assured"

What the imperial physician said made Emperor Wanli very satisfied after hearing it, and he said to the imperial physician very gratefully

"Then there will be an imperial doctor. I will remember your kindness to me and Miss Wu. What's your name?"

"Back to the emperor, the name of my minister is Jiang Rong. Everyone calls me Imperial Doctor Jiang. The emperor is too polite. It is the responsibility of the minister to serve the emperor, and the minister resigns"

"Hmm"

Emperor Wanli nodded and signaled that Imperial Physician Jiang could go out. After Imperial Physician Jiang finished packing everything and walked out of the temple, Wu Ruoyun spoke

"Your Majesty, you saved Ruoyun's life, and Ruoyun will always remember it in his heart. Ruoyun will definitely repay the emperor's kindness to Ruoyun. From tomorrow, Ruoyun will stay by the emperor's side to accompany the emperor, Although Ruoyun can't give his heart to the emperor, Ruoyun is willing to continue to keep his promise with the emperor and spend more than a month with the emperor."

When Wu Ruoyun said this to Emperor Wanli, her heart was full of infinite gratitude to Emperor Wanli, but all she could express to Emperor Wanli was her gratitude, and nothing but gratitude. But for Emperor Wanli, the gratitude of his sweetheart was enough; he said to Wu Ruoyun very satisfied

"Thank you, Miss Wu"

At this time, Imperial Physician Jiang, who had just treated Emperor Wanli and Wu Ruoyun, was invited to the Longevity Palace by Concubine Zheng's staff on his way out of the Tai Temple to return to the Imperial Physician. In Changshou Palace, Imperial Physician Jiang met Concubine Zheng. When he first saw Concubine Zheng, he asked Concubine Zheng nervously

"Your Highness, Concubine, what do you have to do with me?"

After drinking a sip of tea, Concubine Zheng stood up and walked in front of Imperial Physician Jiang and said

"Don't worry, Ben Gong will never harm you. Ben Gong came to you this time to ask you a few questions. You can leave after you answer them"

"Mother, this is true"

"Of course it's true, you must answer me truthfully and not lie"

"Of course, the little one would never dare to deceive the noble concubine"

"It's the best you can understand"

Next, Concubine Zheng asked Imperial Doctor Jiang what she wanted to know

"Ben Gong asks you, did you find any special circumstances when you treated the **** Wu Ruoyun's wounds?"

The Imperial Physician Jiang answered honestly to Concubine Zheng

"Hui Niangniang, when the little one healed her wounds, she only found a little snake venom on her wound, but she found that her body seemed to have a more powerful poison than snake venom"

"So after the snake bit her, she was dead?"

"I think so"

"What about the corpse of the snake?"

"Hui Niangniang, Xiaoxiao buried the snake's body under the roots of a tree after leaving the Taimiao Temple"

"Is this true?"

"It's true, ma'am"

"Well, good"

Zheng Guifei had a gloomy face, nodded with a sneer, and continued to say

"I am very satisfied that you can answer me so honestly"

After speaking, Concubine Zheng clapped her hands and asked his subordinates to take out fifty taels of silver and put them in front of Imperial Doctor Jiang. After seeing the never-before-seen Bai Huahua's silver taels, Imperial Doctor Jiang said excitedly

"Wow, I've never seen so much silver before, madam, is this for me?"

"Yes, this is indeed your reward"

"Thank you, Concubine"

When Imperial Physician Jiang reached out to get these silver taels, Concubine Zheng stopped him

"Hey, wait"

"Niang Niang, do you want to go back?"

"No, this palace will never go back; but you can't take this palace's money in vain. If you take this palace's money, you will do something for this palace?"

"Mother, what's the matter?"

"Bengong wants you to keep this secret. From now on, don't tell anyone about Wu Ruoyun's poisoning. If you let me know that you told others about it, I will send someone to kill you. You My name is Jiang Rong, I have worked in the Imperial Medical Center for three years, and I have a wife Wang, a well-behaved and sensible daughter, and an old mother in her 80s."

After listening to Zheng Guifei's words, Jiang Taiyi was shocked and asked in surprise

"How does the mother know about me?"

"You don't need to ask about this. As long as you don't keep this secret for this palace, not only will your life be in danger, but your family will suffer as well. What you should do is up to you"

After speaking, Concubine Zheng Gui handed the wooden box containing fifty taels of silver to Imperial Doctor Jiang. When Imperial Doctor Jiang took the fifty taels of silver, he was in shock as if he had lost his soul. stand still

"You can go"

After Concubine Zheng finished speaking, Imperial Physician Jiang calmed down and turned to leave, leaving the Longevity Palace where Concubine Zheng lived

Another day passed. On the morning of the next day, the five ministers who were controlled by Wei Zhongxian's brain-eating insect pills, led by Wang Yong's instigation, led all the officials of the five departments to gather in front of the Council Hall to Xiang Donglin Party leader Gu Xiancheng pressured him to release Emperor Wanli, who was imprisoned in the Taimiao Temple. In this protest team composed of five ministers, Huang Wencan, the minister of military affairs, has mobilized a part of the Ming army guarding Beijing city to surround the parliamentary hall in the center, and the imperial city banned under the control of Gu Xiancheng responsible for protecting the parliamentary hall. The guards are facing each other, and it is Haining, the commander of Jinyiwei, who leads this Guards and is responsible for protecting the council chamber

"Haining, hurry up and get your men out of the way. We want to see Gu Xiancheng. You must know that the guards under your command are not the opponents of the regular army of our Shenji battalion. The soldiers of our Shenji battalion are not only combat capable It's strong, and it's also equipped with a puller and Western firearms. If you really want to fight, your janitors have to die. If you are wise, get out of the way. I don't want the front of the council hall to be sprinkled all over the floor. It's all blood"

The person who spoke was Wang Yong. At this time, his face was fierce, and his eyes were full of murderous intent, as if he really planned to attack the Guards. Facing the threat of Wang Yong, Haining was not afraid of danger, showed great courage, and even held the determination to defend the fortress of the Council Hall to the death

"You can't scare me. I, Hai Ning, will protect Master Gu even if I die. You group of rebels will never hurt Master Gu's hair."

"You Donglin party members imprisoned the emperor privately, which has committed a crime of disrespect, and dared to falsely accuse us of being evil thieves. We have already informed the world about the viciousness of your imprisoning the emperor, and now people in the world are scolding you idiots. Lindang people. If you stop us, you are the enemy of the world. If you are sensible, get out of the way. Let us go in and catch the old thief Gu Xiancheng and give the world an explanation."

But Haining's attitude is also so firm

"I said, I won't let you hurt Master Gu's hair, or you will kill me and step over our corpses. Even if I die, Haining won't let you catch Master Gu."

"Okay, since you want to court death, I will fulfill you"

As soon as Wang Yong's words fell, Huang Wencan's Ming soldiers from the Shenji Camp had already loaded and loaded their bullets and aimed at Haining and the heads of all the guards under his guard. However, at this time, Wu Ruoyun actually stood up in the team of the five ministers, and the reason why she followed the team of the five ministers was to persuade the Donglin party members to release the Wanli Emperor

"You all stop me!"

Wu Ruoyun shouted loudly as he opened his arms to block the guns aimed at the soldiers of the Shenji Camp Ming Army

"Miss Wu, how can you be with them?"

Hai Ning asked in surprise, Wu Ruoyun replied calmly

"Master Hai, we just want Master Gu to release the emperor, and there is no other malicious intent. As long as Master Hai is willing to let us in and persuade Master Gu to release the emperor, we will leave."

Although Haining has a crush on Wu Ruoyun and can hear her words more or less in his heart, he will never compromise when it comes to abide by his duties

"Ms. Wu, if you only want to negotiate with Master Gu, Hai will never stop you, but you have mobilized the guards to surround the council hall. This is obviously intended to be detrimental to Master Gu. For the safety of Master Gu, I will Just stick to it"

"Then you mean, if we don't get the soldiers out, you're definitely not going to let us in, right?"

"Miss Wu is right, as long as you don't hurt Master Gu"

At this time, Zhao Tao, Minister of the Ministry of Housing, spoke

"Gu Xiancheng has committed a heinous crime to put the emperor under house arrest. You still want us not to hurt him. This is just a dream. If you are sensible, get out of the way, otherwise the sword and gun will be blinded"

As soon as Zhao Tao said these words, the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion immediately tense their nerves, and once again raised their fire guns to aim at Haining and the Guards next to him, and those Guards immediately pulled out the guns on their bodies. The Sabre is always ready to fight, and the atmosphere soon becomes tense again

"You all stop me"

Wang Yong immediately shouted, and the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion put down the fire gun again. After the soldiers put down the fire gun, he said to Wu Ruoyun

"Miss Wu, if you have any solution, just say it here, we will listen to you"

"Okay, if that's the case, then the little girl will speak bluntly"

So Wu Ruoyun told her thoughts in her heart

"In order to avoid seeing Mr. Gu and hurting the harmony between the two sides, the little girl has a suggestion. I suggest negotiating a solution. If you can't talk about it, it's not too late for you to start."

After listening to Wu Ruoyun's words, Wang Yong said with a smile

"Negotiation? This is a good idea, but how to negotiate, please explain clearly to everyone"

"Since Lord Hai doesn't like us taking these soldiers into the council chamber, then let me and five Lord Ministers go in and negotiate with Lord Gu, and let Lord Gu agree to let the emperor go"

After speaking, she turned her face to Haining and asked

"Master Hai, what do you think?"

After hearing Wu Ruoyun's suggestion, Haining thought to himself: Since they promised not to bring troops into the council hall and only negotiate with Master Gu, they shouldn't hurt Master Gu, so let them in and negotiate with Master Gu to solve this problem. Question

"Well, in that case, I only allow Miss Wu and the five Shangshu adults to enter"

"Thank you, Mr. Hai"

Wu Ruoyun arched her arms and said this to Haining, and then she walked into the council hall with five Lord Shangshu.

In the Council Chamber, Gu Xiancheng already knew everything that happened outside through the window. After seeing the negotiators headed by Wu Ruoyun, he asked straight to the point

"You're here to ask me to order the emperor's release, right?"

After listening to Gu Xiancheng's words, Wu Ruoyun replied

"Yes, Mr. Gu, we just want to negotiate with you. Please release the emperor. If you release the emperor, we will never embarrass you"

"What if I don't agree?"

After hearing Gu Xiancheng's question, Huang Wencan, who was standing beside Wu Ruoyun, became angry, and he said to Gu Xiancheng with a firm and strong tone

"Do you think you still have a choice? I have already mobilized the guards of the Shenji Battalion to surround your council chamber. If it wasn't for Miss Wu saying she wanted to negotiate with you, we would have arrested you long ago. I tell you If you don't order the emperor to be released, be careful that your head will not be protected"

Facing Huang Wencan's aggressive momentum and attitude, Gu Xiancheng was not afraid and did not receive any threats

"Huang Wencan, don't try to threaten me with your military power. Don't forget that you are a member of our Donglin Party. I gave you this official position. In addition, you did not pass the Senate. What is the crime of mobilizing the military without the approval of the House of Representatives?"

"Although I am a member of the Donglin Party, I am a member of the emperor. My allegiance is to the emperor, not the Donglin Party. You imprisoned the emperor in the Taimiao privately, what should you do?"

"The emperor embezzled public funds privately in the palace and held a big wedding. This has violated the crime of private use of public funds in my "Da Ming Law", so I shut him up. What's wrong with this?"

At this time, Wu Ruoyun said to Gu Xiancheng

"Master Gu, it stands to reason that the emperor has committed a crime and should be punished, but he is the emperor after all. If you imprison him privately like this, it is inevitable that some people will say that you have the son of the emperor to make the princes suspected of rebelling. In order to avoid causing criticism, You should still let the emperor go"

Standing on the side and silently watching Zhao Tao, who has not spoken, at this time Wu Ruoyun said what he said

"Ms. Wu is right. We have already made this matter public. If you want people in the world to misunderstand the traitor who is plotting to usurp the throne, you can continue to keep the emperor in the imperial temple"

Zhao Tao's words just hit Gu Xiancheng's heart. He happened to be a person who cared more about his own face. In order to take care of his own face and not let the world call him a traitor, he only agreed to let Wanli go. Emperor

"Okay, I can promise you to let the emperor go, but you also have to promise me one thing"

"What's the matter?"

"If I release the emperor, you must tell the world that I am not a traitor, so that I can be innocent"

After listening to Gu Xiancheng's words, Wu Ruoyun said

"This is no problem, as long as you let the emperor go, we will return your innocence to the world"

After a period of time, under the order of Gu Xiancheng, the Guards opened the gate of the Imperial Temple of Emperor Wanli, pardoning Emperor Wanli's prison sentence. Wei Zhongxian and Wu Ruoyun walked in together and met the Wanli Emperor

"Your Majesty, you can go out now"

Wu Ruoyun said to Emperor Wanli, and Wei Zhongxian also spoke at this time

"Your Majesty, the servants are so happy to see you come out"

After speaking, Wei Zhongxian tightly held the hands of Emperor Wanli, and Emperor Wanli held Wei Zhongxian's hands instead and said

"Zhongxian, it's because of your ability that you got me out of here in one fell swoop"

After listening to the words of Emperor Wanli, Wei Zhongxian said

"Your Majesty, thanks to Miss Wu's help this time, if it wasn't for her suggestion to negotiate with Gu Xiancheng, the consequences would have been disastrous"

"What did you say?"

When Wei Zhongxian was about to explain to Emperor Wanli, Wu Ruoyun spoke

"Your Majesty, this is what happened"

Next, Wu Ruoyun told Emperor Wanli the whole story, and Emperor Wanli said after listening

"Miss Wu, you resolved this political turmoil for me. I thank you so much. From today on, I will be in charge of the government and will never submit to the control of the Donglin party members again"

More than half of the time has passed. In Zheng Guifei's Longevity Palace, Wei Zhongxian and Zheng Guifei are talking

"What did you say? The emperor has decided to govern himself?"

Zheng Guifei asked in surprise

"Yes, concubine, the emperor really said so"

"That's great. In this way, we can take advantage of the emperor's pro-government relationship to let the eunuchs infiltrate the highest level of power within the Donglin Party"

At this time, Wei Zhongxian followed the words of Concubine Zheng

"We can take advantage of this time to ask the emperor to change His Highness Prince Fu as the crown prince. If the Donglin party members dare to object, we can use the power of the Six Divisions to eradicate them one by one, and then let the emperor enshrine the empress. Queen, as for me!"

When Wei Zhongxian finished saying this, he deliberately pretended to be hesitant to speak in front of Concubine Zheng, and Concubine Zheng had already seen through Wei Zhongxian's thoughts

"You can rest assured that you have helped this palace so much, and this palace will definitely treat you well. After the event is completed, you will not only have supreme power, but also enjoy all the glory and wealth, all the property in the imperial court. It all belongs to you, Wei Zhongxian, as long as you can help this palace to bring His Royal Highness Fu Wang to the throne, this palace will never treat you badly"

"The slave thanked the goddess in advance. As long as the goddess can succeed, the slave is willing to do the hard work"

After speaking, Wei Zhongxian knelt on the ground and paid respects to the concubine Zheng Guifei. After leaving Changshou Palace, Wei Zhongxian entered the palace of Emperor Wanli in the name of serving the emperor, and then secretly entered the secret passage in the palace with Emperor Wanli, and secretly talked in the secret passage

"Your Majesty, this servant has just been to the Empress's Longevity Palace. She said that she wants you to change His Royal Highness Prince Fu as the crown prince, and then use this name to eradicate the Donglin Party's influence in the court"

After listening to Wei Zhongxian's words, Emperor Wanli frowned, waved his hand and categorically refused

"No, no, I will not make Changxun the crown prince, I will never compromise on this point"

And Wei Zhongxian persuaded Emperor Wanli

"Your Majesty, this is what happened. We are now maintaining a cooperative relationship with the imperial concubine, and we need to use some of her cronies within the Donglin Party to implement the plan to kill the Donglin Party members, so in some respects we need to To make a little compromise and concession, we can first change His Highness King Fu as the crown prince according to her intention, and after all the Donglin party members have been killed, we will start with Concubine Zheng, then no one will oppose us, and then the emperor will It is not too late to issue an imperial decree to make Zhu Changluo the crown prince"

After listening to Wei Zhongxian's words, Emperor Wanli was overjoyed, he said with a smile and thumbs up to Wei Zhongxian

"Wonderful, this move is really wonderful, well, then I will act according to your plan, make Chang Xun the crown prince, and obey Concubine Zheng Ai first"

After finishing speaking, he suddenly worried about something in his mind

"By the way, Zhongxian, then does she know that you are actually someone by my side, and when you come here to meet me, is there anyone behind you?"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, the noble concubine would never have imagined that the servants were the people by the Emperor's side, and she would never send people to follow the servants"

"This way I can rest assured, Zhongxian, you have to know that the most trusted person around me is only you"

"Please rest assured, the emperor, the servants are the emperor's people in life, death is the emperor's soul, and they are only loyal to the emperor in their lives, and have no two hearts"

After leaving the palace of Emperor Wanli, Wei Zhongxian went to a hidden place in the palace and secretly met with five ministers who had taken brain-eating insect pills. After taking the brain-eating insect pills, these five ministers became Wei Zhongxian's puppets. In order to get the antidote, they could only humble themselves as minions under Wei Zhongxian

"Eunuch Wei, can you give me the antidote?"

Zhao Tao asked in a low voice with a smiling face, looking into Wei Zhongxian's eyes beggingly. Wei Zhongxian squinted and glanced at Zhao Tao contemptuously.

"If you want an antidote, please clean my father-in-law's shoes first"

After speaking, Wei Zhongxian turned his body and stretched his right foot in front of Zhao Tao. Zhao Tao bent down without hesitation to polish Wei Zhongxian's shoes. During the shoeshine, Zhao Tao raised his head and said to Wei Zhongxian

"Eunuch Wei, I did what you ordered today, how do you think I'm doing?"

Wei Zhongxian lowered his head and looked at Zhao Tao who was cleaning his shoes and said

"Well, you are doing well, I will not give you less of the antidote for the brain-eating insect pill"

At this time, Huang Wencan also said to Wei Zhongxian with a smiling face

"What about me, Eunuch Wei, you asked me to privately mobilize the defenders of the city to enter the palace and surround the council hall. I did as you ordered. In terms of credit, my credit should be considered the greatest"

After Huang Wencan finished speaking, before Wei Zhongxian could respond, Huang Wenxuan also interjected. Immediately afterwards, An Liang and Liu Feng also interjected at the same time, which made Wei Zhongxian quickly become impatient at this time, he shouted and said

"Enough, enough, you guys are not finished, did I say I won't give you the antidote"

After the five of them were all quiet, Wei Zhongxian said again

"You all performed very well today, so everyone has a share of today's antidote, and another part is given to the lower officials who have also taken the brain-eating insect pill"

Then, he asked Wang Yong next to him to give each of them a small bag of antidote. After distributing the antidote, Wang Yong said

"You must continue to perform well in the future. If you perform well, Eunuch Wei will be extra generous and completely remove the brain-eating worms from your brains. Then you can become normal people like me"

"Yes, yes, we will do our best to be loyal to Eunuch Wei in the future"

"Okay, you can go"

"Yes"

When Zhao Tao and the other five left, Wei Zhongxian said to Wang Yong

"Wang Yong, why are you still here? Do you have something to tell my father-in-law?"

Wei Zhongxian really guessed right, Wang Yong really had a very shy thing for him to ask Wei Zhongxian

"Father, I..."

"What's the matter, tell me now"

"I..."

Wei Zhongxian seemed a little impatient to see him speak so hesitantly

"Come on, don't be like a mother-in-law"

"I..."

At this time, Wei Zhongxian finally couldn't bear it anymore, he shouted sharply

"What the **** are you saying, you are so shy as a big man, if you don't tell me, my father-in-law won't help you"

At this time, Wang Yong finally said what was in his heart

"I want to ask Eunuch Wei to give me the girl surnamed Wu as my wife"

"Do you mean Wu Ruoyun?"

"Yes, yes"

Wang Yong nodded quickly and replied. At this time, Wei Zhongxian laughed immediately after knowing Wang Yong's request

"Hahaha, Wu Ruoyun is really a fox. There are so many men who like her, but now she has the emperor's favor, you can't get her"

"In that case, please help me find a way!"

"There are ways to do this, but we have to wait until we have killed all the Donglin party members. As long as you help me kill all the Donglin party members with peace of mind, I promise to make you come back with a beautiful woman"

Seeing what he said, Wang Yong took this reassurance in his heart, he smiled and said to Wei Zhongxian

"I knew Eunuch Wei would definitely have a solution"

"Okay, if you have nothing to do, just go back"

"Yes, Eunuch Wei"

Therefore, Wang Yong left Wei Zhongxian with an excited smile on his face. After he left, Wei Zhongxian immediately revealed a treacherous and sinister smile, and said to himself

"Chang Lingyun, you hit me once, I can't take revenge on you, now your woman has fallen into my hands, I will take revenge on your woman with the slap you hit me, I want Let your woman's life be worse than death, so that you will never get a pure woman, hahaha"
