Zhu Youjian couldn't speak.

Seeing that he is about to ascend the throne, why does this kind of mistake happen again?

When my royal brother was about to die, did he write a will in his own hand?

It's not impossible.

After all, before the elder brother died, Wei Zhongxian was the only one in the Yangxin Hall.

In order to save the lives of Wei Zhongxian and Ke Yinyue, it is very possible that the eldest brother actually wrote something with his own hand.

But what is the content of this edict?

Will it be detrimental to me, or deprive me of my position as emperor?

If Wei Zhongxian was killed before he ascended the throne.

What should he do if his eunuch suddenly comes up with a posthumous edict?

There is no need to write anything else on it. Just accusing me of intending to sink the ship and kill my eldest brother is enough to discredit me.

Not only was the throne in hand a mess, but the entire Ming Dynasty was about to fall into chaos.

Regicide!

Except for Emperor Yongle, who held military power, who could afford such a crime.

Even if Emperor Yongle could bear the burden, he would always be nailed to the pillar of shame in history and become an eternal and unjust thief!

After all, Zhu Youjian had just turned sixteen, and the more he thought about it, the more afraid he became, and he even broke into cold sweats all over his body.

He no longer dared to show his murderous intent, but changed his face to a smile and stammered when speaking.

"Factory...factory minister, is this...this statement true?"

As soon as this was asked, the swordsmen and axemen behind the weft tent became silent.

Even under Cao Huachun's arrangement, he retreated quietly.

After all, it involves royal secrets, and I no longer dare to kill Wei Zhongxian at this moment.

In other words, I no longer dare to stay in the Yangxin Palace.

Whoever stays will die!

Wei Zhongxian couldn't help but sneer when he saw that there was silence behind the tent, and only he and Zhu Youjian were left at such a rapid speed.

"Your Majesty, of course it is true! How could such a thing be false? Isn't it treason for that person to deceive you about such a thing?"

Seeing that it was true, Zhu Youjian was shocked all over again, and the smile on his face became more and more flattering.

"Haha, since it is true... then... then, factory minister, what do you think is written in the edict?"

"I, how can I get this late emperor's edict?"

"Hahahaha!"

When Wei Zhongxian saw Zhu Youjian calmed down by one sentence, he couldn't help but continue laughing loudly.

But the contempt in his smile made Zhu Youjian extremely ashamed, but he didn't dare to say any more nonsense.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty... tell me, how can there be such a shameless person in the world?"

Wei Zhongxian laughed for a while and said in a high voice.

"There is such a person!"

"Obviously, the eldest brother is as kind to him as a mountain, and his love is as deep as the ocean. But he is trying hard to seize his position!"

"If that's the case, then that's it. After all, my eldest brother is ill and won't live long. Sooner or later, this position will be his."

"But he went back on his word, first he killed his eldest brother's widow, and now he wants to attack the people around him and kill his whole family?"

"Your Majesty, tell me, have you ever seen such a shameless person?"

Zhu Youjian was scolded in front of Wei Zhongxian's face. He was so scolded that he was almost going crazy.

It's a pity that the opponent has the handle, so he can only nod his head.

"I've never seen it. I've never seen such a shameless person. How can such a person deserve to be called a human being? He is worse than a pig or a dog."

"Hehehe, factory minister, please don't take pleasure in me."

"Tell me quickly, how can that person be willing to hand over the edict and allow me to successfully ascend the throne?"

This statement means that Zhu Youjian is completely passive in negotiations.

But there was nothing he could do.

At this point, all we can do is listen to Wei Zhongxian's appeal.

Don't think about killing.

Beg grandpa to sue grandma, or even kneel down to Wei Zhongxian on the spot.

Wei Zhongxian looked at Zhu Youjian's humble appearance, but felt sad in his heart.

Zhu Youjian, Zhu Youjian!

I was also suffering from madness, and I naively thought that after you came to power, you could let me go and let the entire eunuch party go.

In the future, the Eunuch Party will be used to continue to check and balance the Donglin Party members and maintain the current difficult situation of the Ming Dynasty.

But who would have thought?

You haven't even ascended the throne yet and you are eager to attack me.

If I die, who will take care of those greedy and extremely shameless civil servants?

Without the eunuchs, see if the treasury can collect even one cent of the gentry tax money?

How can there be such a stupid person like you in this world!

It's a pity, but it's too late to say anything now.

Watching Zhu Youjian take one step forward, who can stop him if the trend is inevitable?

Wei Zhongxian sighed: "Your Majesty, that person has no other requests."

"He's so tired!"

"I just want to return to my hometown of Suning, cultivate the few acres of thin farmland left by my ancestors, and live in peace in my old age."

"I feel that if Your Majesty agrees to his request..."

"The imperial edict will naturally be handed over to His Majesty. What do you think? Your Majesty?"

Zhu Youjian was relieved when he heard this.

Wei Zhongxian still wants to leave?

Or do you want to resign and go into seclusion?

Right.

Now that it has become a fight to the death, you and I will live and die.

Even if you don't kill him this time, you might be tempted to kill him next time.

The two sides are at odds with each other and cannot work together.

But it’s good to go.

It's over once and for all.

Only then can I continue to be my Chongzhen Emperor with peace of mind, and only then can I fully support the Ming Dynasty.

"Okay, okay, okay! Factory minister, please tell that person."

"Let's just say that although I am reluctant to leave him, I welcome him back to his hometown for retirement with both hands."

"He can leave at any time, today or tomorrow. As long as he leaves at any time, I promise not to send anyone to stop him or to surround him, and I will not even harm his adopted sons and grandsons, the Five Tigers and Five Biaos. , let them continue to live freely in the capital, do you think this is possible?”

After speaking, Qi Ji looked at the other party, fearing that Wei Zhongxian would regret his words again.

But Wei Zhongxian is as shameless as Zhu Youjian.

He is a real villain, and Zhu Youjian is a hypocrite.

Seeing that his goal was achieved, Wei Zhongxian was no longer too lazy to stay in the Yangxin Hall and walked out.

"Okay, Your Majesty. I can guarantee that the day he returns to Suning will be the time when he presents his final edict."

"I hope your Majesty will keep his word this time and don't let the mermaid break the net, okay?"

"Hahaha, naturally I keep my word, and naturally I don't dare to defeat the enemy..."

When Zhu Youjian saw Wei Zhongxian coming, he quickly stepped aside and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead vaguely.

Unexpectedly, when Wei Zhongxian came to his side, he stopped again.

"Forehead……"

Zhu Youjian tensed up: "Factory minister, what else can I do?"

Wei Zhongxian chuckled and looked up and down at Zhu Youjian, at the black-winged crown on his head and the ocher yellow dragon suit in his mourning clothes.

"Your Majesty, what you just said is very right."

"That sentence?"

"You are serious...better than a pig or a dog! Hahaha..."

Wei Zhongxian laughed and stepped out of the Yangxin Hall and strode away.

Zhu Youjian behind him turned red as if he had been slapped on the spot.

He stared at Wei Zhongxian's leaving figure, his hands hanging in his sleeves clenched and bleeding without even realizing it.

An Dare!

Thief, how dare you humiliate me like this?

It's a pity that Zhu Youjian seemed to be hollowed out at this moment, unable to move at all.

He didn't dare order the other party to be killed, let alone verbally abuse him.

He only dared to stare at the other person's back with extremely angry eyes and sit back and watch him slowly leave.

"His Majesty……"

I don’t know how long it took, but Cao Huachun and Wang Chengen came over quietly.

The two of them didn't know what the little emperor and Wei Zhongxian said in the palace.

But I was extremely puzzled that Wei Zhongxian could leave safely.

Why don't you kill him, Your Majesty.

If he is allowed to leave the capital, it will be extremely difficult to kill him.

"His Majesty……"

The two spoke in low voices.

"Shut up!"

Zhu Youjian interrupted the two of them angrily and shouted.

"Why don't you send someone to follow Wei Yi to see where he has gone? When did he leave the capital?"

"Yet! No! Quick! Go?"

Seeing that the emperor was furious, the two men did not dare to talk nonsense and hurriedly chased him out.

But it didn't take long for the news to come back.

After Wei Zhongxian left the Yangxin Hall, he did not go home immediately, but went to the harem.

"Harem?"

Zhu Youjian didn't understand what the old eunuch was doing in the harem at this time.

"Your Majesty, it seems that Wei Zhongxian went... to Ciqing Palace."

"Ciqing Palace? Meet my sister-in-law Zhang Yan?"

Zhu Youjian shuddered when he heard this and subconsciously looked in the direction of the harem.
