I'm really not the carpenter emperor

……

About half an hour later, Zhu Youxiao, who was about to go out in military uniform, looked at the two people kneeling at his feet, and didn't know whether to feel angry or amused.

After a while, Zhu Youxiao looked at Wei Chao, who had a bruised nose and a swollen face, and said, "Wei Chao, how long have you been in the palace?"

"Going back to the emperor, it's been more than ten years." Wei Chao was shaking all over.

"You are also an old man in the palace, why are you still like this, unable to calm down when things happen?" Zhu Youxiao sighed and said:

"Go to Fengyang to guard the mausoleum."

Hearing this, Wei Chao fainted as if his body fell apart.

It's not that he doesn't know that the guard eunuch in Fengyang is Wei Zhongxian's godson, if he goes there, his old life may be accounted for there.

"And you, Wei Zhongxian, how can you keep staring at his partner?"

This time, Wei Zhongxian, who had achieved his goal, no longer quibbled, and said honestly:

"The emperor taught me the right lesson. The slaves have apologized to brother Chao, so they will send Mrs. Xu out of the palace."

"No need, it would be nice for you to have a pair." Zhu Youxiao thought for a while, and said angrily:

"Stop messing around."

Wei Zhongxian nodded, and went out with the distraught Wei Chao.

Looking at the two of them, Zhu Youxiao was not in the mood to go to Nanhaizi. This Wei Zhongxian was now focused on dealing with Wang An.

This Wei Chao is Wang An's capable confidant, Wei Zhongxian probably has no affection for Xu Shi, probably just using her to provoke Wei Chao.

Interestingly, this Wei Dynasty was still the one who made the first move.

Even if Zhu Youxiao wanted to protect Wang An, there was nothing wrong with the matter of the Wei Dynasty. Who made this kid's EQ too low, and made old Wei fool him with a trick.

In recent days, after Wang An recovered from his illness and returned to the Sili Supervisor, he and Wei Zhongxian were in the same situation.

Originally, Zhu Youxiao thought that he would leave Wang An in charge of the Ritual Supervisor to restrain Wei Zhongxian, but later he found out.

Wei Zhongxian couldn't tolerate Wang An at all, and Wang An was close to Donglin, and he wouldn't let Wei Zhongxian "murder" Donglin scholars at will.

It's a trivial matter to tip off the news, Zhu Youxiao is afraid that he will make trouble behind his back.

Although it wasn't bad for him, Wang An's actions also delayed Zhu Youxiao's big plan to rectify Donglin.

If you want Wei Zhongxian to put all his heart and soul into dealing with Dong Lin, then you can't let Wang An have any real power.

However, judging from Wei Zhongxian's enthusiasm for dealing with Wei Chao, he is obviously not a master who will miss old feelings.

After all, Wang An didn't do anything wrong, and he was still with him in the case of moving the palace. Zhu Youxiao always remembered this feeling.

Therefore, Wang An cannot have real power to prevent Wei Zhongxian from re-running Donglin, but he must also have a minimum ability to protect himself.

It will not be the same as in history, being chased and killed by Wei Zhongxian.

As for the Wei Dynasty, Zhu Youxiao didn't bother to care about his life and death, and political struggles always had victims.

Chapter 56 One Multiple Choice Question

The shortest way from Jingshi to Phi Island is to go by land to Tianjinwei, and then take a boat.

Sitting in the carriage going to Tianjin Wei, as his body bumped up and down, Wang Tiqian also closed his eyes and thought about the emperor's deep-seated intention of setting up the Metropolitan Government.

The position of Zuo Bingjian is equivalent to the head of the whole country's military inspectors. Although only Datong, Xuanfu, Jizhen and Jiangnan have sent six military inspectors.

But if the effects of these places are very good, there must be more military supervisors in the future, and by then, the position of the left military supervisor will be hot.

Of course, he relied on Wei Zhongxian to advance to the throne, so he was able to serve the emperor.

But so is the good, and so is the bad.

The last time he was beaten by the emperor for this reason, he lost a few front teeth, which was also thanks to Wei Zhongxian.

It seemed that the emperor didn't want to have close contact with Wei Zhongxian.

He thought, after Wei Zhongxian came to power through Wei Chao and Wang An, didn't he turn against these two?

Wei Zhongxian can use the Wei Dynasty to defeat Wang An, why can't my Wang Tiqian use Wei Zhongxian to advance himself?

Thinking of this, Wang Tigan was even more satisfied with his arrangements before leaving.

……

In the Forbidden City, the story of Wei Zhongxian and the eunuch Wang An's confidant Wei Chao making a big fuss about the Supervisor of Ceremonies has been widely spread.

Because Zhu Youxiao dealt with it in a timely manner, it didn't cause too much disturbance on the surface, and the palace people used it as a private chatter.

In the handling of this matter, Zhu Youxiao's attitude is very surprising.

Wei Chao, who had served in the palace for many years, was actually sent directly to Fengyang to guard the imperial mausoleum. Wei Zhongxian, who was the first to cuckold someone, was only said lightly.

Naturally, Wang An couldn't say anything dissatisfied with Zhu Youxiao, and his approach was exactly the same as that of the Donglin Party - resign.

Zhu Youxiao laughed immediately after receiving Wang An's resignation. This guy is using his resignation as a silent protest!

Zhu Youxiao shook his head, put the resignation aside, and thought:

"Wang An, you don't know yet. If I hadn't protected you, you would have been killed by Wei Zhongxian a long time ago!"

How can you beat him!

On this day, just after Wei Zhongxian made a list of mine supervisors in Zhili, he saw a little eunuch sneaking in.

He knew this person, he belonged to Wang Tiqian.

Wei Zhongxian still remembers what happened in the warm pavilion last time, and Wang Tigan didn't even say hello when he came out.

Since then, Wei Zhongxian paid close attention to Wang Tiqian, and soon found that he was avoiding him.

Seeing Xiao Xie come in, he waved away the crowd, leaving only Mrs. Xu by his side, and said sarcastically, "Why, Wang Ti has been able to be used by the emperor and become the Zuo Bingjian, isn't he arrogant!"

"Why are you here looking for the Governor?"

"Look at what you said, the factory supervisor, the prince can get this job, isn't it because of you talking about it in front of the emperor!" Xiao Yi smiled flatteringly, "The prince often said, I will never forget the factory supervisor's kindness in the future ~"

Hearing this, Wei Zhongxian snorted a few times, and asked: "Tell me, what's the matter, I know he's going to the Three Treasures Hall now for nothing."

Xiao Xie looked left and right, and finally settled on Xu, who was upright and backward, unable to move his eyes for a while.

If his woman was looked at like this, if he was a normal man, he would have been angry long ago.

But Wei Zhongxian was not like that, on the contrary, he was very happy, as if some abnormal emotions in his heart were satisfied.

Suddenly, he asked:

"Why, have you thought about it?"

The little eunuch swallowed his saliva, quickly shook his head and said: "Don't dare, slaves don't dare..."

"Hahaha!" Wei Zhongxian laughed a few times suddenly, making the little eunuch the second monk puzzled.

At this time, Xiao Yan came back to his senses and began to talk about business.

He leaned close to Wei Zhongxian's ear and said in a tone that only the two of them could hear: "Factory Supervisor, Wang An is resigning this time, don't you know?"

Wei Zhongxian said: "Of course the governor knows, the emperor won't approve him, why did you bring this up?"

Speaking of this, he took a careful look at the little eunuch up and down.

"Factory supervisor, what do you think, what time is it now?"

Wei Zhongxian laughed heartily, but he asked the question knowingly.

"When?"

Xiao Xie said: "The emperor severely punished the Wei Dynasty, but he only said a few words to you. This is to continue to entrust you with important tasks!"

"And that Wang An is just an old eunuch with some old feelings. The emperor set up the capital prison mansion, and all the officials criticized him. It's time to be furious."

"Factory supervisor, think about it, Wang An is going to resign at this time, isn't it courting death?"

The more Wei Zhongxian listened, the more evil he became. After listening to it, his heart suddenly cleared up. His breathing was sometimes quick and sometimes slow.

After a long silence, he suddenly asked:

"Where do you work, how do you know so much?"

The little eunuch said: "At the beginning, the maidservant worked in the clerk's office, and got the protection of the prince, and now she has been transferred to the Zhidian Supervisor to serve as a small steward of the West Sixth Palace."

Seeing that he didn't declare his name, Wei Zhongxian knew that this was Wang Tiqian's diehard loyalty, so he let go of the idea of ​​recruiting him as his own.

He waved his hand and said, "Okay, go ahead."

"Slaves leave—"

Seeing the direction Xiao Xie left, Wei Zhongxian's expression became gloomy again.

This time, the governor finally has a chance to completely kill that old bastard Wang An!

……

The next day, Zhu Youxiao sent both Wei Zhongxian and Wang Anan to Xinuange to confront them face to face.

"Wang An." Zhu Youxiao got up and turned his back to the two, picked up the saber on the wall, still gently stroking the blade with his hand, and said lightly:

"You are an old minister of the first emperor, and also a minister of my humerus. When the Li family moved to the palace, you were the one who accompanied me and made great efforts for me."

Speaking of this, Zhu Youxiao changed the subject, turned around holding the sword, and said again:

"But you are also a hidden stake in Donglin Party members who secretly communicated with others, so that my order cannot be issued immediately."

Zhu Youxiao stared at Wang An closely, and said, "I ask you, do you agree with what Wei Zhongxian said?"

Wang An was taken aback. He originally had the same idea as Yang Lian when he handed in his resignation, which was also what Gao Panlong and others meant.

They don't think that Zhu Youxiao will abandon the humerus veteran and choose Wei Zhongxian instead.

They didn't expect Wei Zhongxian to sneak in when he had an opening, and went to the emperor's side for a meal, and things became like this again.

How similar is this situation of riding a tiger to the point where Yang Lian was forced to resign from office?

Wang An clenched his hands tightly in the big sleeves of his toga, sweating from his palms, and his mouth was trembling, unable to speak.

He clearly saw the determination in Zhu Youxiao's eyes.

This question was provoked by Wei Zhongxian, but it was also thrown to him by Zhu Youxiao to answer.

Wang An is no longer a stunned young man, he knows how difficult this answer is.

If he admits it, he will be confirmed to have liaison with the Donglin Party, and everyone in the Donglin Party will also be charged with the crime of liaison with the court.

At that time, the best result is to hand over the seal of the supervisor of ceremonies.

Wei Zhongxian will completely control the inner court, and it will be even more difficult for the Donglin Party to fight against the "eunuch party".

But if you don't admit it, bite the bullet and resist all the charges to protect the Donglin Party, then the emperor will be disappointed.

At that time, the embarrassment will be the emperor.

This multiple-choice question is Zhu Youxiao's last chance for Wang An to abandon the Donglin Party.

Wei Zhongxian watched Wang An's every move closely, while Zhu Youxiao sat back on the couch, silently stroking the sharp saber.

If he chooses the wrong one, I will be so disappointed.

Chapter 57 Wei Zhongxian's Supervisor of Ceremonies

"You don't want to die, dare to go in?"

A maid in the palace was about to serve jujube tea to the emperor, but she was stopped outside the Xinuang Pavilion. Hearing the persuasive dissuasion of several palace people, she quickly stopped and stood still.

In the dreary Xinuang Pavilion, Wang An pursed his lips, feeling extremely entangled in his heart.

In fact, in his mind, Emperor Tianqi is still just a 17-year-old child.

The child's thoughts are too naive, and he doesn't have any opinions at all, so that he is completely taken away by a traitor like Wei Zhongxian.

"Gao Yutai and others' death admonitions are not just for gaining fame. The castration comes from the palace wall. Your lord, you can't kiss the villain and neglect the virtuous ministers!"

Wang An's voice fell to the ground, and the silence in the Nuan Pavilion was even more terrifying.

All of a sudden, Zhu Youxiao's hand stroking the sword paused, and a hole was cut. The servants were all very scared, and none of them dared to go in.

At first, the maid took a deep breath, clenched her silver teeth, brought jujube tea to Zhu Youxiao, and gently cleaned his wound.
