Reborn as a tyrant in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 269 The road is always at your feet

Forbidden City.

Dark night falls here, the night sky is dotted with stars, and the bright moon is blocked by clouds. Although it is calm, there is a sense of majesty here.

"Mr. Factory, there are police patrols everywhere. You don't need to patrol in person."

Ji Yong carried a lantern and followed Wei Zhongxian, "Besides, with our family watching everywhere, Mr. Factory, you still..."

"Don't be careless."

Wei Zhongxian's face was expressionless, his eyes staring ahead, and he said as he walked: "The emperor has left the capital to patrol the border, and the queen and ladies are coming to Xiyuan, but as the servants of the Tian family, the inner court cannot make any mistakes. ”

When Ji Yong heard the words, he was forced to suppress the words that came to his lips.

Ever since the emperor left the capital and started this massive border patrol, the entire Forbidden City has been under martial law, and the palace restrictions have become more stringent than before.

As for the Xiyuan where Queen Zhang Yan, Emperor Zhu Cijiong, and all the concubines of the harem lived, there were three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry. Not to mention if anyone wanted to get close, even if a bird flew over, someone would die. Stare hard!

It was rare for the Emperor of Heaven to leave the capital, let alone to patrol the border. This also caused everyone in the inner court to tense up, fearing that anything would go wrong in the inner court while the Emperor was away from the palace.

"Mr. Factory, why do you think the emperor wants to patrol the border?" While inspecting various places, Ji Yong was silent for a long time. After all, he couldn't hold back his temper and looked at Wei Zhongxian and said.

"The opposition in the court is so loud, not to mention that there are many important military and political matters in the court that require your Majesty to handle them. Did your Majesty discover anything?"

Ever since Wei Zhongxian rushed back to the capital, some powerful eunuchs in the inner court have been curious about what major matter Wei Zhongxian and Fang Zhenghua left the capital to investigate.

Not that they had anything uneasy about it.

In fact, some powerful eunuchs wanted to use this incident to figure out the relationship between Wei Zhongxian and Fang Zhenghua. After all, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers.

The inner court is not big, but it is not small. It can accommodate many powerful eunuchs, but there can only be one who can stand alone, or even has close ties with the outer court.

After all, if there are too many, how can the special status be reflected?

But now?

The inner court not only had Wei Zhongxian, the admiral of the East Jishi Factory, but also had Fang Zhenghua, the admiral of the West Jishi Factory, and Han Zanzhou, the admiral of the Da Neihang Factory, which had never happened before.

"very curious?"

Wei Zhongxian stopped and stared straight at Ji Yongdao.

"Kind of."

Ji Yong's heartbeat inevitably accelerated and he subconsciously replied.

As Wei Zhongxian's trusted confidant, daring to tell the truth in front of Wei Zhongxian is the reason why Wei Zhongxian trusts Ji Yong, and Ji Yong is really capable, so Wei Zhongxian will inevitably support him.

Wei Zhongxian said with a half-smile, "Then we will give you the dental plaque given by the Emperor, and you will immediately leave the palace to chase the Emperor and tell the Emperor personally these questions?"

hum.

Ji Yong tensed up, with an expression of fear on his face, and hurriedly explained: "Mr. Factory, our family absolutely does not dare to do this, our family..."

"Then just do your job honestly!"

Wei Zhongxian shouted in a deep voice: "Remove all the thoughts that you shouldn't have from our family!!"

"Here."

Ji Yong nodded in response.

Wei Zhongxian flicked his sleeves, turned around and walked forward. But at this moment, a scene appeared in Wei Zhongxian's mind.

"Wei Banban, I am leaving Beijing to patrol the border. I know that many people in the government and the public are speculating about my leaving Beijing to patrol the border."

This is what Zhu Youxiao said while leaning on the cushions and staring at Wei Zhongxian with a half-smile.

"Even after I leave the capital, I'm afraid that many people will spread bad words about me in the court, in the capital, or even in the local area, saying that I act arbitrarily for my own liking regardless of the safety of the country."

This is what Zhu Youxiao said to Wei Zhongxian with a playful smile, and he casually picked up the tea cup at hand.

"But I don't care anymore. As the old saying goes, yes, you won't be itchy if you have too many lice. Haha, this is quite appropriate. But Wei Banban, I'm afraid your situation will not be good for the rest of your stay in Beijing."

When he heard these words, Wei Zhongxian's heart suddenly tightened, and he even felt a trace of fear for no reason.

"I trust Wei Banban, and I also rely on Wei Banban. It's just that this man has a double-skinned mouth, and there are some things that are bad. The bad thing is his mouth."

This is what Zhu Youxiao said as he casually put the tea cup on the table, lifted his robe and leaned forward, his eyes staring at Wei Zhongxian. At that time, Wei Zhongxian was not only nervous, but also nervous.

Because he didn't know what his prince meant.

"I have left the capital, handed over the inner court to Wei Banban, and told Wei Banban some errands. I am relieved of all these, but I am only worried about you, Wei Banban."

When he heard these words, Wei Zhongxian kowtowed directly and expressed his loyalty to his emperor again and again. However, the emperor's next words made Wei Zhongxian know that he had misunderstood the emperor's meaning.

"What I'm worried about is not you, Wei Banpan, but there are many people who will make elaborate calculations, even covertly and covertly."

When he said these words, Zhu Youxiao reached out and pulled Wei Zhongxian up. The look in his deep eyes has not been forgotten by Wei Zhongxian until now.

"I am a nostalgic person, but I hate others deceiving me and treating me like a child. Wei Banban should know this, so keep an eye on the inner court and the capital for me!"

Until he came down from Longchu, Wei Zhongxian was still savoring the meaning of this sentence, and even now he still doesn't quite understand it.

What exactly is this knocking him over?

Or are you reminding him?

Or are you dissatisfied with him?

"Manufacturer, something big happened!!"

But at this moment, a rapid voice sounded, which made Wei Zhongxian's heart skip a beat, and his feet that were walking forward were suspended.

At this moment, Wei Zhongxian's legs were inexplicably weak.

"Manufacturer."

Seeing Wei Zhongxian shaking, Ji quickly stepped forward to help him.

"Manufacturer, something big happened!!"

Wang Tigan took three steps at a time and ran towards Wei Zhongxian quickly. Behind Wang Tigan, there were several eunuchs, saying, "Your Majesty's imperial chariot has been assassinated! Ping Jiang Bo who was accompanying him rushed to the capital. This matter has been spread in the cabinet. Even the capital is spreading this matter, and..."

When he heard this, Wei Zhongxian's hands trembled slightly.

Fear arose in Wei Zhongxian's heart.

Besides the fear, a surge of anger followed.

See assassination again! !

"And what?!" Wei Zhongxian stared at Wang Tiqian with sharp eyes and shouted in a deep voice.

"and…"

Wang Tigan did not dare to look into Wei Zhongxian's eyes. After looking around, he knew that the people around Wei Zhongxian were Wei Zhongxian's trusted confidants. After a moment of hesitation, he whispered: "And the gang of traitors who assassinated him, during the assassination, ”

In order to let Wei Zhongxian hear clearly what he meant, Wang Tiqian deliberately emphasized the word "factory official".

"fart!!"

Hearing this, Wei Zhongxian did not respond, but Ji Yong became angry, "This is nonsense, this is clearly a frame-up!!"

"How is your Majesty?"

But before Ji Yong finished speaking, he was pushed away by Wei Zhongxian, who stared straight at Wang Tigan Road.

"Your Majesty, it's fine."

Wang Tigan said hurriedly: "The troops of the Royal Imperial Army who were accompanying him were all elites. The musketeers led by Chen Qi, the uncle of Pingjiang, killed them all without hesitation. All the ministers who accompanied him ordered the emperor to return to the capital, but the emperor ordered him to return to the capital. The purpose is to go to Sanhe and stay there."

"As long as it doesn't matter, that's fine. It doesn't matter."

Wei Zhongxian's hanging hands trembled slightly, and his hanging heart dropped slightly.

Just at this moment, Wei Zhongxian suddenly understood something.

It turned out to be the case.

Wei Zhongxian suppressed his emotions and began to clench his hands tightly. Now he suddenly understood why his emperor asked Lu Jiude to summon him to see him before he left the capital, and why he specifically said those words to him.

Someone wants to alienate the emperor's trust in him! ! !

Someone wants to force him to do what others want him to do! ! !

At this moment, the seeds of distrust began to take root in Wei Zhongxian's heart.

Wei Zhongxian never thought about assassinating the emperor. It is true that he is the admiral of Dongjishi Factory. He is very powerful in the outer court and has gathered many people under his sect. However, Wei Zhongxian is not a fool. He knows who gave him everything he has. of.

Without this premise, he is nothing!

Assassination of the emperor?

Did Wei Zhongxian get his head kicked?

Someone wants to trick him to death.

After the seeds of distrust took root in Wei Zhongxian's heart, Wei Zhongxian began to think more, and a perfect closed loop appeared inadvertently. This was exactly what Zhu Youxiao, who left Beijing to patrol the border, wanted to achieve. …
