Acting for the gods

Chapter 129 It's time for the emperor to take medicine
Wei Zhongxian received the news immediately, and felt a little sorry to hear about Jiang Fan.

Although they currently have a common enemy, an enemy's enemy may not be a friend. Both Wei Zhongxian and Jiang Fan knew that once the Donglin Party was destroyed, their struggle would begin.

Xinwangfu.

In the past few days, Xin Wang Zhu Youjian was always on tenterhooks, always thinking that something would happen.

Huo Weihua had already paid tribute to Xianfang Linglu, and it was rumored that his elder brother, who was a good carpenter, became seriously ill, but Wei Zhongxian didn't have the slightest intention of approaching him, instead urging him to leave the capital.

Princess Zhou also had a hard time during this time, her face was haggard, and even her eyes were bloodshot.

A few days ago, he suddenly heard the bad news that the Zhou Mansion was ransacked by Jin Yiwei, and his father and elder brother were arrested and imprisoned, so he couldn't sleep for several days and nights.

But she knew the priorities and did not beg Xin Wang to save her father and brother.

She is very clear that the current situation is not good for King Xin. Once King Xin is allowed to come forward, the eunuchs will definitely take the opportunity to make a move and seize the opportunity, and then it will implicate Prince Xin's mansion instead!
Princess Zhou is well educated and reasonable. She only wanted to live a peaceful and peaceful life, and have children with Zhu Youjian and grow old together.

However, as soon as you enter the palace gate, it's as deep as the sea. From then on, every step of the way starts to be frightening, and it's hard to return to the original point!

Xin Wang Zhu Youjian looked at the increasingly haggard Princess Zhou, and could only comfort him: "Princess, don't worry, when the overall situation is settled, we will definitely keep Taishan and them safe!"

In all fairness, he didn't like Zhou Kui at all when he learned that his father-in-law Zhou Kui had cleverly set up a project, colluded with Donglin officials and businessmen, annexed the people's land, and resold contraband. .

Princess Zhou shook her head: "I understand, but husband, you are a person who does big things, and you should put the overall situation first. If anything happens...they will have to blame themselves!"

Zhu Youjian stared at Princess Zhou: "The situation is critical now, and I really have no other skills. Now I can only wait and see if God will take care of me!"

Princess Zhou nodded silently.

While the two were talking, footsteps suddenly sounded outside, and then Wang Chengen respectfully reported: "Your Majesty Qizuo, Lord Zhou and Lord Hong are here."

Zhu Youjian's face changed slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "Please invite them in."

Wang Chengen bowed in answer, turned around and led the two Donglin masters into the courtyard.

Knowing that they were going to talk about something, Princess Zhou tactfully left the room.

After a while, Wang Chengen led Hong Chengchou and Zhou Yanru, who were disguised as guards, into the house.

After seeing Zhu Youjian, the two saluted together and said, "See you, my lord!"

Zhu Youjian hurriedly helped the two of them up, and asked, "The two adults came here late at night, is there something important?"

"Recently there are rumors in the palace that the emperor is seriously ill, but he has not called the king into the palace for a long time, and I have received news that the concubine Wang Guifei is pregnant with the dragon seed. Once the prince comes to the world, Wei Zhongxian, Ke Shi and others will definitely take the emperor In order to command the princes, the Ming Dynasty will not be able to rule the country at that time!"

After Zhu Youjian listened, his eyes froze, and he said in a low voice, "Have you confirmed it?"

Hong Chengchou said solemnly: "Ninety-nine are inseparable from ten, and there are many methods in the palace, no matter it is true or not, we have to guard against it."

"In addition, the imperial hospital sent back news that the emperor is indeed seriously ill, and he can't even get out of bed. He may have been imprisoned by Wei Yan. I implore the prince to raise troops immediately, and the Qing emperor will get rid of the treacherous evil and save the Ming Dynasty."

"This……"

Zhu Youjian showed hesitation between his brows.

"My lord, I also feel that it is indeed time to clean up the house!"

Zhou Yanru said.

Zhu Youjian looked up at Zhou Yanru, and Zhou Yanru continued: "My lord, the Ministry of War reported that in the past few days, Dongchang had sent someone to replace the chief soldier of the Nine Gates. Once Wei Xian completed the defense, we will never stand up again. the day!"

"Your Majesty, don't miss this opportunity, never miss it again."

Hong Chengchou continued: "If the prince really wants to benefit the people, he should immediately send troops to attack the capital."

"As long as the capital is broken, no matter how arrogant the Wei bandits are, they will not be able to threaten the safety of Daming. I am willing to follow the prince to the death and restore the world to a bright future."

After being silent for a while, Zhu Youjian nodded in agreement.

He knew that if he refused to attack the capital, he would completely lose Donglin's support, and he would miss the throne by then.

But if he attacked the capital, it would definitely damage his reputation and make him a taint of rebellion.

But Zhu Youjian has no escape route, instead of facing a dead end, there is still a glimmer of life.

Therefore, Zhu Youjian finally nodded helplessly, and said to Hong Chengchou and Zhou Yanru: "Okay, I will immediately order all the ministries to take action and take down the capital as soon as possible. I will leave my family and life, and the century-old foundation of the Ming Dynasty to your lords! "

Hong Chengchou and Zhou Yanru kowtowed in unison, made a pledge of blood alliance, and then dispersed.

When Hong Chengchou and others left, Zhu Youjian slowly stood still and thought.

He suddenly felt that what he was doing now seemed stupid, and he had no right to change this war at all.

But he felt that he couldn't sit idly by.

He couldn't just watch the Ming Dynasty be destroyed.

The Eunuch Party is going to be eradicated, and Donglin is unreliable, can he really turn the tide?

Beizhen Fusi.

Jiang Fan was assigning tasks, and Lu Wenzhao knocked on the door to see him.

"come in!"

Lu Wenzhao walked into the room, saluted respectfully, and said cautiously: "My lord, last night Hong Chengchou and Zhou Yanru met King Xin overnight, and then secretly contacted the officials of Donglin. It is estimated that there will be big moves."

"Hong Chengchou and Zhou Yanru are quite courageous!"

Jiang Fan smiled.

After Han Yu's death, these two old guys had only been honest for a few days, and they didn't expect to be unable to restrain their death spirit so soon.

Jiang Fan said lightly: "But that's fine, we just need to wait and see what happens, and don't rush to act."

"But my lord, what should we do if Hong Chengchou and others raise an army?" Lu Wenzhao asked worriedly.

Jiang Fan sighed lightly, and said, "Go back and rest first, as for how to deal with these rebellions, you and I don't need to worry about it."

"Yes."

Lu Wenzhao bowed and left.

Jiang Fan stood in the room, thinking for a long time.

He knows that he can't stop the development of history, but he just intends to push the boat forward and guide the trajectory of history in the direction he relatively expects.

He also didn't know whether it was right or wrong to do so. Maybe he could change the fate of Ming Dynasty's demise, but it might lead to a bigger crisis in the future.

Right and wrong, who can tell?

Looking at the moment, Jiang Fan can only try his best to control the situation and help Daming tide over the difficulties.

the next day.

Huo Weihua went to the palace again to donate medicine. Today's Linglu drink was mixed with other medicines. As long as Emperor Tianqi Zhu You took it, the medicine's properties would kick in at night, and the next day's sunrise would never be seen.

However, Huo Weihua did not tell anyone, because he knew that if he really poisoned the emperor to death on the spot, he would not be able to leave the palace alive.

Donglin is about to help King Xin to revolt, the existence of Emperor Tianqi is the biggest obstacle, and he must die.

This is also the reason why Huo Weihua will venture into the palace again.

Wei Zhongxian already knew the details of Huo Weihua, knew that Huo Weihua had a dark heart, and brought Huo Weihua into the palace expressionlessly.

The little eunuchs, court ladies, and imperial guards who met along the way all saluted Wei Zhongxian one after another.

Came to the palace where Zhu Youxiao cultivated.

Seeing the bedridden Emperor Tianqi, Huo Weihua suddenly felt an indescribable feeling in his heart, including nervousness, fear, and excitement.
