Zhu Youjian: Taizu has an order! kill!

Kyoto Prison, in a single room.

An old man with half gray hair disheveled was sitting quietly inside.

Not far away stood a small bowl of white rice and two plates of side dishes.

In the surroundings, the screams of prisoners being tortured could still be vaguely heard.

Suddenly, the old man opened his eyes and looked towards the entrance in the distance.

Through the cracks in the wooden prison, he could clearly see someone walking towards him.

"Oh, isn't this the prince?"

"I haven't seen you for a few days, and my complexion has become more and more rosy."

"I'm here today but the new emperor wants to take my life?"

The old man was Wei Zhongxian. Looking at Wang Chengen holding a lantern outside the cell door, he couldn't help but asked with a smile.

From the day Emperor Tianqi died, he had already realized that he would be killed by the new emperor.

He is just a dog, even though he is powerful, he cannot resist the imperial power.

Outside the door, Wang Chengen narrowed his eyes slightly and shook his head after a long while.

"Eunuch Wei, the emperor has ordered you to come over immediately."

“I don’t know whether it’s a blessing or a curse for our family.”

"Please get going."

see me?

Wei Zhongxian was stunned for two seconds when he heard this.

What does this mean?

Didn't the new emperor already want him exiled and executed in front of hundreds of officials?

"Your Majesty, what do you think?"

When he came back to his senses, Wei Zhongxian, a human spirit, immediately smelled something wrong!

He immediately stood up and grabbed the cell door, feeling a little excited!

"Our family doesn't know what the emperor is thinking."

"Please, Eunuch Wei, please hurry up."

"Your Majesty, he seems to be in a bad mood these days."

As Zhu Youjian's confidant, Wang Chengen would naturally not talk nonsense about his own prince.

But when the words came to his lips, he couldn't help but remind him.

After all, Wei Zhongxian is very similar to him. They both grew up serving the emperor.

Seeing Wei Zhongxian end up like this, he couldn't help but feel a little sad.

But that's all.

These eunuchs are just the emperor's domestic slaves, and their relationship with the emperor is one of prosperity and loss.

They never think too much about the things behind them, they just take care of the present.

The emperor is in a bad mood?

Wei Zhongxian's originally excited mood immediately cooled down a little.

This...

What on earth are you going to do?

Hey, forget it, it’s a blessing, not a curse, but the curse can’t be avoided!

Whether it is life or death, you will know once you take a walk.

"it is good..."

"Then I'll ask you, Prince Wang, to lead the way."

Wei Zhongxian's mouth twitched slightly, he took a long breath and then bent down and cupped his hands, keeping his posture very low.

Wang Chengen, who was standing outside the door, saw that the guy had no objection, so he waved his hand to the jailer to open the cell.

Less than half an hour.

Wang Chengen took Wei Zhongxian and Tian Ergeng to the side hall of the palace.

Seeing that Tian Ergeng was also going with him, Wei Zhongxian's face, who was hiding behind, suddenly became happy.

It seems that the emperor does have some new ideas!

Good thing!

Good thing!

On the other side, Tian Ergeng, the current leader of Jinyiwei, also widened his eyes at this time.

What the hell!

Who did I see?

Wei Zhongxian? !

Isn’t this guy going to be exiled soon?

Why is it here?

hiss...

Something is wrong!

But he didn't dare to say anything. At this time, the new emperor was ascending the throne, and they, the former emperor's old ministers, all had to live with their tails between their legs.

Otherwise, the new emperor might have killed Liwei that day.

So even if Tian Ergeng was very curious at this time, he could only keep his mouth shut and pretend he didn't see anything.

Wang Chengen walked in first and walked out after a few breaths.

"Go in, the emperor is waiting inside."

"Please pay attention to what you say."

The two of them quickly agreed with their hands, and then cautiously entered the gate of the side hall.

After walking two steps inside, he saw Zhu Youjian sitting on a chair.

The two of them knelt down without delay.

"Old slave Wei Zhongxian! I'm going to see Your Majesty!"

"My lord, Tian Ergen! I'm going to see your majesty!"

On the chair, Zhu Youjian, who was thinking, saw the two of them kneeling on the ground, but his expression did not change much.

On the wall next to him, Li Chen was hiding in the portrait of Taizu, looking at the two people in front of him curiously.

These two are both celebrities in the late Ming Dynasty.

Needless to say, Wei Zhongxian is said to be nine thousand years old and powerful.

However, Tian Ergeng, as the leader of the Jinyi Guards, defected to Wei Zhongxian and became one of the five eunuchs who specialized in killing.

The Donglin Party, which Wei Zhongxian was able to stir up before, was in turmoil, and this time Tian Ergen took the greatest credit.

What Li Chen was interested in was the evil reputation of these two people.

It can be used immediately and can quickly attract the attention of the Donglin Party.

After all, these two guys are ruthless people, and killing the Donglin Party is like killing a chicken.

If those weirdos from the Donglin Party knew that Zhu Youjian had reactivated Wei Zhongxian, all the firepower would be poured on them.

There should be no time to care about what the emperor is doing in a short time.

But the premise of all this is that Zhu Youjian can conquer these two people.

Li Chen never told Zhu Youjian half of the sentence.

That is, if Zhu Youjian's ability is not good enough, Li Chen will have to consider killing these two guys and re-supporting people.

Although it is a pity, Li Chen will never allow anyone to threaten Zhu Youjian's safety now.

Zhu Youjian was the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and he bound the national destiny of the Ming Dynasty.

If Zhu Youjian was gone, the Ming Dynasty would be finished, and so would Li Chen!

Without saying it, Li Chen just wanted to see how capable Zhu Youjian was.

"I didn't expect that a joke back then would come true."

"The emperor said back then that if he could give up the throne to me, he would sit on it."

"At that time, I thought the emperor was joking with me, but I didn't expect that the emperor would die early."

"It's nature that plays tricks on people..."

"But now that I'm in this position, I have to investigate some things!"

"I feel that the premature death of my brother is a big problem, so I specially invited the two of you here to ask questions clearly."

Zhu Youjian was silent for a while, and then looked at the silent portrait of Taizu next to him.

After calming down slightly, he spoke!

This was what Taizu had just discussed with him, using the emperor's brother's matter as an entry point to scare these two people.

really!

As soon as these words came out, both Wei Zhongxian and Tian Ergen suddenly broke out in cold sweat on their foreheads.

They really didn't know how to answer this question.

They are all Emperor Tianqi's personal bodyguards. If they admit that there is a problem with Emperor Tianqi's early death, wouldn't they be causing trouble for themselves.

But if you don't admit it...

They couldn't figure out what the new emperor was thinking!

"I, my slave, will die!"

Caught in a dilemma, the two looked at each other and then simply fell to the ground and confessed.

In any case, if Zhu Youjian really wants to use this matter to cut them off and establish his authority, then no one can run away.

It's better to simply plead guilty and see what Zhu Youjian says!
