Quickly wear "I am the empress"

Chapter 514 Ming Dynasty: The Emperor Guards the National Gate (2)

Zhiyu smiled calmly, "Lord Wei, looking at my brother's health, I'm afraid he won't live for many years."

"Have you ever thought about what would happen to you, the powerful eunuch Wei, if my brother passed away?"

"Haha, Princess, please don't worry about what happened to our family."

"The princess coerced His Majesty into writing such a treasonous imperial edict. The princess should be worried about her own fate."

Zhiyu looked at Wei Zhongxian with a smile in his eyes, "Sir Wei, how about we make a deal?"

Wei Zhongxian's eyes fell on the imperial edict in Zhiyu's hand, "What deal does Princess Le'an want to make?"

Zhiyu smiled lightly, "If you join my army, I will ensure you a lifetime of prosperity."

"Hahaha."

"Princess, do you know that the Ming Dynasty is now at the end of its strength?"

"My lifelong glory, princess, I'm afraid I can't protect it."

Zhiyu nodded, "Yes, the current Ming Dynasty is already busy with its own affairs."

"But Lord Wei, are you willing to be called a traitor after a hundred years?"

Wei Zhongxian smiled indifferently: "I don't care about what happens after death when I am alive. I have enjoyed this wealth and glory. Even if I am infamous for eternity after a lot of changes, I accept it."

Zhiyu raised an eyebrow, "Oh?"

"I didn't expect Lord Wei to be so open-minded."

"If that's the case, then I'm afraid we won't be able to reach an agreement on this deal today."

"I thought that Lord Wei would join me in fighting against the Donglin Party and resisting the invasion of ethnic minorities in the north."

"Now it seems that Lord Wei doesn't care about these things."

"Well, not everyone has the courage to support the empress. Since Lord Wei is unwilling, I will find someone else."

After saying that, Zhiyu slowly stood up and looked at the imperial edict on the table, "I'll trouble you to read the imperial edict."

Seeing Zhiyu leaving without mercy, Wei Zhongxian frowned slightly and stopped her before she stepped out of the door.

"Princess, wait a minute."

Hearing this, Zhiyu curled her lips slightly and turned her head away.

"Master Wei, do you have other ideas?"

Wei Zhongxian tapped the table lightly, his eyes looking extremely dangerous.

"Princess, if I help you, what can you promise me?"

Hearing Wei Zhongxian say this, the smile on Zhiyu's face became even more intense.

"My reputation will last forever."

Hearing Zhiyu's words, Wei Zhongxian just felt a little amused, "Now that our family has a bad reputation, how can the princess make our family famous for generations to come?"

"The Donglin Party members are all a group of people who wield pens. They have the final say on who will be remembered for generations to come."

Zhiyu smiled and said nothing. "Sir Wei, if I were the king, I would naturally send you to restore order."

"How can a mere Donglin Party rival the emperor?"

Wei Zhongxian shook his head calmly, "Princess, just for a mere immortality, do you want me to be yours?"

Zhiyu smiled calmly: "A wise bird chooses a tree to inhabit, and a wise minister chooses a master to serve."

"My royal brother won't last for a few years."

"Over the years, you have basically offended everyone in the royal family."

“No matter who comes to power, there will be no room for you.”

"No matter what you want, you want to live, right?"

"If you join my army, I will keep you safe."

Hearing this, Wei Zhongxian seemed to be interested. He drank a sip of tea slowly and asked, "I want to know, what will the princess do to keep me safe in the future?"

"Princess, you can't just get something for nothing here."

Zhiyu smiled lightly without saying anything, just leaning against the door frame slowly, and said calmly: "How can this be called getting something for nothing?"

"The world is bustling, all come for profit, and the world is bustling, all for profit."

"I have what I want, you have what you want, we just benefit each other."

"Someone, come and save me......"

"Your Majesty has been assassinated."

Before Zhiyu finished speaking, the eunuch's panicked and sharp voice was heard outside.

Wei Zhongxian obviously didn't pay attention to the noise outside. He stared at Zhiyu thoughtfully for a long time, and said with a fake smile: "Princess, you are really bold."

Zhiyu blinked, "Ah, what do you mean, Lord Wei?"

Wei Zhongxian laughed, "Princess, how did you get this imperial edict? It turns out that you got it by assassinating His Majesty."

Zhiyu shook his head in amusement, "Sir Wei, the East Factory also needs evidence to do things, right?"

"There is no evidence, yet you are accusing me of assassinating my brother. I won't agree to this."

Wei Zhongxian stood up with a sneer, "Your Majesty's words are irrefutable evidence."

"Princess, please come with us."

"I would like to ask your Majesty who is the one who assassinated him."

Zhiyu smiled nonchalantly, "I don't think there is anyone else who can assassinate my brother except the Donglin Party, right?"

Wei Zhongxian smiled but said nothing. "Whether he is a member of the Donglin Party or not, we will know after seeing Your Majesty."

Zhiyu shrugged indifferently and went to the main hall of the Qianqing Palace with Wei Zhongxian.

Anyway, the Taia Sword has been stored in the system space by her, so she is not at a disadvantage at all.

When Zhiyu and Wei Zhongxian rushed to the main hall, the imperial physician was bandaging Zhu Youxiao.

Below Zhu Youxiao sat a handsome man with a face as dark as ink.

When he saw Wei Zhongxian, a hint of subtle disgust flashed across the man's eyes.

"bump........"

The man slapped the table and said to Wei Zhongxian angrily, "Sir Wei, our brother was assassinated, but you are so late."

"Is this how you protect your brother?"

Hearing the man's words, Wei Zhongxian was not angry, but bowed respectfully to Zhu Youxiao: "Your Majesty."

After the ceremony, Wei Zhongxian looked at the angry man and nodded slightly, saying, "Prince Xin."

Seeing Wei Zhongxian's attitude, Zhu Youjian was so angry that his body began to tremble.

"Sir Wei, if anything happens to my brother today, you must bring his head to me."

At the main seat, Zhu Youxiao, whose neck was wrapped, raised his hand to stop the angry Zhu Youjian.

"Fifth brother, don't be angry first."

Zhu Youjian was helpless when he heard this, "Brother, you have been assassinated, how can I not be angry?"

Zhu Youxiao's eyes moved back and forth between Wei Zhongxian and Zhiyu. After a while, he waved his hand and asked the imperial doctors and the surrounding palace maids to leave.

When the hall was quiet, Zhu Youxiao waved to Zhiyu, "Le'an, come here."

Hearing this, Zhiyu nodded fearlessly and walked towards Zhu Youxiao.

Zhu Youxiao endured the severe pain in his neck and asked weakly, "Have you read the imperial edict?"

Zhiyu shook her head calmly, "Not yet."

Hearing this, Zhu Youxiao looked at Zhu Youjian in silence, "Fifth brother, you will read out the imperial edict from Le'an."

Zhu Youjian frowned, "What imperial decree? Is it to find a consort for Le An?"

Zhu Youxiao did not answer Zhu Youjian's question, but just sighed deeply.

"The people who assassinated me today are from the Donglin Party."

"Master Wei."

When Zhu Youxiao called him, Wei Zhongxian stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I am here."

Zhu Youxiao sighed and said, "The Donglin Party murdered the emperor. This is an unforgivable crime. Send the Dongchang people to encircle and suppress them."

Upon hearing this, Wei Zhongxian's face lit up, and he bowed to Zhu Youxiao and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Zhu Youxiao waved his hand, "You go now."

Wei Zhongxian lowered his eyebrows and said, "Yes."

After saying that, he looked at Zhiyu with some surprise, then turned and left.

When only three siblings were left in the hall, Zhu Youxiao stopped pretending and looked at Zhiyu who was standing below.

"Le'an, the imperial edict has been read."

"The world will inevitably be in chaos"

"You....., be prepared to be infamous for eternity."

Hearing Zhu Youxiao's words, Zhu Youjian's pupils shrank slightly, "Royal brother, what are you and Le An talking about?"

Zhu Youxiao pointed to the wound on his neck with a wry smile, "This wound was caused by Le An."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Youjian lost his composure. "Someone, hold Princess Le'an down."

Seeing Zhu Youjian so angry, Zhu Youxiao raised his hand to stop him.

"Fifth brother, I don't want to be the king of a fallen country anymore."

"I don't have many years left to live, and I want to do what I love in the remaining days."

"It's not our fault that the Ming Dynasty has come to this point, but someone has to bear the consequences."

"Since Anle wants to be the king of this fallen country, let her come."

"Brother, you are confused."

Hearing Zhu Youxiao's words, Zhu Youjian couldn't help but sigh with a complicated expression on his face.

"Le An is so young. How can a girl like her bear the abuse from the whole world?"

"Besides, the Ming Dynasty is still here. Are you going to give up on it just like that?"

"You are the emperor of Ming Dynasty. If you give up Ming Dynasty, what should Ming Dynasty do?"

"Do you want to let the northern barbarians seize our Ming Dynasty?"

"The Ming Dynasty was conquered by our ancestors. How can you give it up so easily?"

Hearing Zhu Youjian's question, a sarcastic smile appeared on Zhu Youxiao's face.

"Fifth brother, I don't want to give up the Ming Dynasty, but now I really don't know how to save the Ming Dynasty."

"Since I ascended the throne, the Ming Dynasty has been plagued by disasters. It's either drought here or floods there. People from the Donglin Party have jumped out from time to time to cause trouble for the Ming Dynasty."

"The Ming Dynasty is surrounded by enemies, with internal and external troubles."

"I am incompetent. I can neither solve the internal strife nor the external enemies."

"The Ming Dynasty is now just a hollow shell. If Le An wants it, I will give it to her."

"I don't want to be the king of a fallen country."

"Fifth brother, if you are also interested in this position, then I can pass it on to you."

"Talk to Le An about who will take over the throne."

Hearing what Zhu Youxiao said, Zhu Youjian took a few steps back with a pale face, looking shaky.

"Brother, how can you have such an idea?"

"If you think this way, how can you be worthy of your father and the people of the world?"

Zhu Youxiao stood up with a crazy look on his face, and laughed hysterically at Zhu Youjian, "I didn't want to be the emperor in the first place, so what can I do to face the people of the world?"

"And my father, before he died, he didn't leave me any useful ministers. What do you think I should do? What can I do?"

"In this huge palace and court, there is no one who truly treats me as an emperor. I want to do something for the people of the world, but no one listens to me."

"You always say that Wei Zhongxian is a treacherous minister, but I do agree. If I don't support him and let him hold real power, who in this world will listen to me, the emperor?"

Seeing that Zhu Youxiao had gone mad, Zhiyu could not help but quietly step back a few steps.

Let this person be crazy, why is he spitting?

It's really not particular at all.

Zhiyu's little action was naturally seen by Zhu Youjian who was standing next to her.

Zhu Youjian frowned slightly, and bowed to Zhu Youjian above him and said, "Brother Emperor, calm down."

After expressing his anger, Zhu Youxiao looked much more normal.

He fell into a chair and muttered to himself, "Fifth brother, I can't hold on any longer."

Seeing Zhu Youxiao's broken body, Zhu Youjian felt extremely distressed. He stretched out his hand and called out hesitantly, "Brother Emperor."

Zhu Youxiao sighed and shook his head, turning his gaze to Zhiyu and Zhu Youjian.

"You two should discuss this throne."

"Who will pick it up?"

Hearing this, Zhiyu stood up and said, "Brother Emperor, you have already given me the abdication edict."

"This throne is mine."

As he said that, Zhiyu turned his head and looked at Zhu Youjian, "Fifth brother, you won't snatch it from me, right?"

Zhu Youjian frowned, "Le An, how could you have such thoughts?"

Zhiyu blinked, "What's on your mind?"

"Become the emperor?"

"The Ming Dynasty is about to fall, can't I still be the emperor?"

Seeing Zhiyu like this, Zhu Youxiao was so angry that his whole body was shaking, "Le'an, being an emperor is not a joke."

"You are almost reaching the age of marriage. During this time, I will choose a consort for you, and you can live a good life in the future."

"The rise and fall of the country is our business. You don't need to get involved."

Zhiyu was unhappy when he heard this, "The Ming Dynasty is about to fall, why can't I get involved?"

"Fifth brother, are you trying to snatch the throne from me?"

Seeing that Zhiyu was still stubborn, Zhu Youjian shook his head with a sullen look on his face, "The throne belongs to my brother."

Zhiyu nodded, "I know, I asked him to pass it to me."

"The imperial edict has been written."

"Now, I am the emperor of Ming Dynasty."

As he spoke, Zhiyu's eyes fell on Zhu Youxiao: "Brother, remember to move out of the Qianqing Palace in the next few days."

"I'm moving in in a few days."

"Especially those woods of yours, remember to move them all away."

Zhu Youxiao nodded silently, agreeing to Zhiyu's words.

Seeing Zhu Youxiao nodded, Zhiyu said with a smile: "Royal brother, I will go get the imperial edict for my fifth brother."

"You guys keep talking."

That’s it. Without waiting for Zhu Youxiao’s consent, Zhiyu turned and left, leaving the space to Zhu Youxiao and Zhu Youjian.

After Zhiyu left, Zhu Youjian looked at Zhu Youxiao who was slumped in the chair.

"Brother, are you really going to pass the throne to Le An?"

Zhu Youxiao remained silent for a long while before he sighed and said, "Fifth brother, if you want it, I will pass it on to you. If you don't want it, I will give it to Le An."

"Do you want this throne?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Youjian immediately knelt down and said, "Brother Emperor, I have absolutely no intention of disobeying you."

Seeing Zhu Youjian say this, Zhu Youxiao smiled sarcastically and said, "In this case, let's leave the throne to Le'an."

"I don't want you to be cursed for eternity as the king of a fallen nation."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Youjian lowered his head and said word by word: "Brother, the Ming Dynasty can still be saved."
