Listening to Zhang Yanyao's words, Zhu Xu vaguely understood Wei Zhongxian's meaning, smiled and said, "You mean, Wei Zhongxian, you want me to cooperate with him?"

Zhang Yanyao pursed her lips, looking weaker and weaker, and said softly: "Eunuch Wei, I just want to help His Highness and save my life."

"That's all?" Zhu Xu smiled more and more.

Zhang Yanyao seemed to agree with Zhu Xu, nodded slightly and said: "Yes."

Zhu Xu nodded and said: "Okay, I will fulfill him, I will buy him a yard outside the palace, and he will have a monthly salary, and I will not send anyone to watch him, as long as he lives in that yard honestly." Just do it."

Zhang Yanyao's face froze slightly, she frowned slightly, and said, "Your Highness, Eunuch Wei is sincerely willing to do things for you."

Zhu Xu waved his hand and said solemnly: "The king gave him two ways, either to stay in the courtyard arranged by the king and wait for his old age to die quietly, or to come to the palace and be the general manager of the king. There is no third option. road!"

After all, Zhu Xu is the king of the current dynasty. Although he has not yet become a feudal clan, all the personnel in the palace can be arranged in advance.Before, he wanted Zhang Wenda to be the governor of the palace, but Zhu Xu had nothing to do with this old and cunning old man.

But Wei Zhongxian is different, this one, he will either die immediately or be seen dead, Zhu Xu will never let him out of sight!

Zhang Yanyao looked at the trace of domineering Zhu Xu's body, her expression was slightly concentrated, and she said in a cold voice: "Your Highness, I am now favored by the emperor, and I will be a concubine soon. Eunuch Wei's influence inside and outside the palace is unnecessary. If I say more, His Highness must know."

Zhu Xu frowned, looked at Zhang Yanyao coldly and said, "Outside the palace, I can get someone to beat you up. Inside the palace, I can beat you to death. If you don't believe me, you can ask Fengsheng after you go down. lady!"

Zhang Yanyao's body trembled, fear flashed in her eyes, she frowned and said, "I will pass on your Highness's words to Eunuch Wei."

"No need." Zhu Xu looked at Zhang Yanyao, and said in an orderly tone: "I will entrust him with the matter of the salt field. From today on, I will hand over 100 million taels every month. If there is one tael less, I will let him He died on the street that day, go."

Looking at Zhu Xu's indifferent expression, Zhang Yanyao felt apprehensive. This was completely different from what she had discussed with Wei Zhongxian. His Royal Highness Hui Wang seemed to be determined by Wei Zhongxian, and there was no room for negotiating to ease.

Zhang Yanyao also knew that she was no match for King Hui no matter inside or outside the palace, and even Mrs. Fengsheng died inexplicably, let alone a woman who was not seen well.

"Concubine resigns." Zhang Yanyao bent slightly, turned around and walked away quietly.

As soon as Zhang Yanyao walked away, Cao Wenzhao appeared behind Zhu Xu silently, and said in a low voice, "Your Highness, she came alone, and no one followed her."

Zhu Xu squinted at Zhang Yanyao's back, and said coldly: "Wei Zhongxian must have been in the palace, try to find out."

"It's Your Highness." Cao Wenzhao bowed. Not only was Zhu Xu afraid of Wei Zhongxian, but there were many people inside and outside the palace who didn't want to see Wei Zhongxian make a comeback.

"Your Highness, are you really going to let Zhang Yanyao go like this?" Cao Wenzhao followed Zhu Xu, looked around, and asked when he saw no one.

With his hands behind his back, Zhu Xu said with a weird smile on his lips, "Don't worry, I will be useful to both of them in the future."

Cao Wenzhao also got a glimpse of Zhu Xu's thoughts, and suddenly thought of a certain possibility, he couldn't help saying: "Your Highness, do you want to take Wei Zhongxian as a backup?"

"You will know later." Zhu Xu said.

At this moment, in a kitchen not far from the imperial dining room, an old man in his 50s dressed in coarse clothes was adding firewood, and behind him a young eunuch who looked like a consul stood respectfully.

"Eunuch, what orders do you have?" the little eunuch said tremblingly.

The guy who added the matches was Wei Zhongxian who had been released from prison and mysteriously disappeared without a trace!

Chapter 97 Wei Zhongxian's Change

Wei Zhongxian is really like an old man in the palace, slowly adding firewood, the corners of his face are well-defined, the creases are black and hard, and there is an unspeakable expression in his calm eyes.

Hearing what the little eunuch said, Wei Zhongxian shook his head and said, "An order? What else can I order now."

The little eunuch looked at Wei Zhongxian's bowed back, and felt a little sympathy or other thoughts in his heart. He approached and gritted his teeth and said in a low voice: "Eunuch, why don't we tell the emperor what His Royal Highness Hui has done? As long as the emperor disposes of it." Hui Wang, then you can return to the Supervisor of Rituals and regain the trust of the emperor."

Wei Zhongxian laughed abruptly as he listened.

The little eunuch was startled, and looked at Wei Zhongxian's back with some fear.In the past, they were afraid of Wei Zhongxian because he controlled their life and death, but after returning this time, Wei Zhongxian had no rights, which made him feel even colder.

Wei Zhongxian seemed to have lost the hostility of the past, he stirred the firewood with a stick, and said with a faint smile, "What are you reporting on King Hui?"

The little eunuch was stunned for a moment, his mouth was already opened, but he didn't say a word.

Before the little eunuch could speak, Wei Zhongxian turned his head to look at him, and said, "What's wrong with His Royal Highness Hui? Did he bully men and women? Or insulted ministers, or even plotted to rebel?"

The little eunuch turned pale when he heard this, and hurriedly shook his head.

After Wei Zhongxian finished speaking, he turned around again, looked at Huo Guang with a cold face and said, "His Royal Highness Hui Wang is a Yiziwang, the emperor's younger brother, and the queen empress treats him as her own. Not to mention that there is no evidence, even if there is evidence, who And dare to report it at will?"

The little lady listened to Wei Zhongxian's words and her heart was broken. This is really not a trivial matter. If it is small, it is to frame the prince, but if it is big, it is to alienate the family of Tian family and harbor evil intentions.

This is to punish the Nine Clans!

After Wei Zhongxian finished speaking, he took out a book and flipped through it in front of him.

He was illiterate before, and suffered a lot in this area, so he started to read and write while he was in prison.Although there are still not many, he can already read some simple books. These days after he was released from prison, he always carries a book with him.

Wei Zhongxian looked at it for a while, and then suddenly said: "His Royal Highness Hui Wang is just greedy and greedy for money. Although the emperor Taizu's ancestral family was not allowed to engage in lowly business, but after a hundred years, it has long been in vain. It is not beneficial to tell the emperor like this. You have to remember that the empress is not easy to mess with, and His Royal Highness Hui Wang is even more difficult to mess with."

The little eunuch agreed tremblingly, looking at Wei Zhongxian in front of him, his heart felt cold.

At this moment, Zhang Yanyao walked over gently, stepped over the threshold, bowed slightly and said, "Thank you for your teaching, Uncle."

Wei Zhongxian waved his hand, and the little eunuch bowed as if he had been pardoned, and ran out quickly.

Wei Zhongxian turned a page of the book and said, "What did King Hui say?"

Zhang Yanyao frowned, and said displeasedly: "He refused."

Wei Zhongxian smiled, threw away the book, stood up, looked at her and said, "No accident, when will he see me?"

Zhang Yanyao was slightly startled, and immediately said, "He didn't say he wanted to see Uncle."

This time it was Wei Zhongxian's turn to be dazed, looked at Zhang Yanyao and said, "You mean, he didn't want to see me?"

Zhang Yanyao nodded slightly, with puzzled eyes.

The creases on Wei Zhongxian's face moved, his eyes were stern, and he said to himself: "He didn't see me? Could it be that he is planning something again?"

Zhang Yanyao looked at Wei Zhongxian, without pretending to be weak, and said in a cold voice: "He said that he would hand over the salt farm to my uncle, and my uncle must earn at least 100 million taels a month for him, otherwise, otherwise, I will let my uncle die on the street!"

There was a flash of hostility on Wei Zhongxian's face, and his eyes were ferocious and terrifying, but it quickly disappeared without a trace.Calm back.

He turned his back to Zhang Yanyao, looked at the burning firewood, remained silent for a long time, then smiled again: "Although it is different from what I expected, it is still a step closer, as long as we pass the hurdle in front of us, we can naturally figure it out slowly. "

Zhang Yanyao was in awe of this uncle who was quite mysterious to her, looked at his back, and said softly, "Uncle, do you want me to do something in the palace?"

"No need!" Wei Zhongxian turned his head sharply, with a stern look on his face, and then warned indifferently: "If you want to live in this harem, remember my words: First, Your Majesty, you must not appear at any time. Thoughts! Second, Queen Jing, she is the master of the palace, your life is in her hands! Third..."

The corners of Wei Zhongxian's eyes twitched, and he said in a deep voice: "Thirdly, King Bihui, he is too special in this palace, with cunning methods, and it is impossible to guard against it. If you want not to be tricked by him, you have to make him feel that you are useless to him." Harmful!"

Zhang Yanyao's face was slightly pale, but at the same time her heart was awe-inspiring. She never thought that that child would be so fearful in the eyes of her unattainable uncle!

"Okay." Wei Zhongxian wiped his hands, and said to Zhang Yanyao, "I've taught you everything I need to teach you. Just remember my words. As long as the emperor is alive, your Zhang family's wealth will be indispensable."
