Author: Use your soul to aim

The days of waiting were the most painful. Zhang Zongxian was in fear every day, neither eating nor sleeping well. He regretted his impulse, but it was already too late now.

People from the Beijing Investigation Section have been paying close attention to the movements of the Ming Dynasty's inner court these days. If there is any disturbance, they will quickly evacuate Zhang Zongxian, who rules outside the city.

Finally, on the fifth day after meeting with Wei Zhongxian, Wei Zhongxian sent someone to deliver the news, asking Zhang Zongxian to meet him at the restaurant tomorrow.

The next day, Zhang Zongxian arrived near the restaurant in advance. After confirming that there was no ambush, he entered the restaurant and waited for Wei Zhongxian.

Not long after Zhang Zongxian entered, Wei Zhongxian took a carriage to the restaurant. When he went upstairs to see Zhang Zongxian, he told him about the arrangements.

The Crown Prince would definitely not be able to get out of the Imperial City, so Zhang Zongxian had to go into the Imperial City to see the Crown Prince. As for how to enter the Imperial City, he naturally had to dress up as a eunuch and be taken in by Wei Zhongxian.

After listening to Wei Zhongxian's arrangements, Zhang Zongxian hesitated for a moment. If he really entered the imperial city, he would really be slaughtered like a piece of fish.

But now that things have happened, there is no room for him to go back on his word, so he can only bite the bullet and obey Wei Zhongxian's arrangement.

Then Zhang Zongxian first told Master Ma that if he didn't come back within three days, it would mean something had happened.

Let Master Ma take the people to hide and see if there is any movement to see if they can be rescued. If they can't be rescued, don't hesitate to notify Jiazhou immediately and let the good ministers act according to the predetermined plan.

After the arrangements were made, he shaved his beard and changed his clothes, followed Wei Zhongxian into the carriage, and walked towards the imperial city. In order to bring him to meet the crown prince, Wei Zhongxian specially found a eunuch who had a similar figure and appearance to Zhang Zongxian.

After taking the eunuch out of the imperial city, he fainted. Then Wei Zhongxian took off his clothes himself, thinking that he would change them back after Zhang Zongxian came out.

Along the way, Wei Zhongxian kept telling him not to raise his head for a moment after entering the imperial city, not to say anything to anyone who asked him, and to let Wei Zhongxian handle everything.

When they approached the imperial city, they got off the carriage. According to Wei Zhongxian's instructions, Zhang Zongxian did not dare to raise his head for a moment and always stared at the ground.

Although Eunuch Wei at this time did not have the power that Tian Qi had after he came to power, he was still a powerful figure in the palace with the exclusive soap and cosmetic mirror provided by Zhang Zongxian.

It was easy to deal with the inspection of the Imperial City, not to mention that they were still taking the usual passage to transport supplies to the Imperial City.

After entering the Imperial City, the two mounted their horses and trotted all the way to the East Palace. It was not until they entered the East Palace that they breathed a sigh of relief. Zhang Zongxian did not dare to appreciate the scenery of the Imperial City along the way.

After returning to the East Palace, Wei Zhongxian did not take Zhang Zongxian to see the crown prince directly, but took him to his room to wait. After asking Zhang Zongxian not to go out and wait for news about him, he left in a hurry.

Only now did Zhang Zongxian have time to observe the surrounding environment. The layout of the entire room was the same as what he saw when he visited the Forbidden City in his previous life. The entire room was dark and narrow.

After Zhang Zongxian found a chair and sat down, he began to think about how to gain Zhu Youxiao's trust. Although in his previous life, he was a professional manager who dealt with countless kinds of people and talked nonsense.

But facing Zhu Youxiao, who grew up in Shenggong Palace, he was still a little unsure. In his previous life, he didn't have many good words to say about Zhu Youxiao. The history of the Ming Dynasty said that he succeeded Emperor Shizong in the Ming Dynasty, and was responsible for the mausoleum of Yi.

In the last years of Shenzong's reign, it was extremely ruined. Although there were bright and heroic kings, it was difficult to revive it. Instead, the emperor was mediocre and cowardly, stealing from women and temples, and indiscriminately rewarded and punished. Loyalty suffered misfortune, and hundreds of thousands of people were disloyal. Although he wanted not to

If you die, how can you gain anything?

The rumors on the Internet are more serious and directly say that he is an illiterate emperor. Anyone who speaks ill of Zhu Youxiao must be the suppressed Donglin Party members. Zhu Youxiao's imperial teacher is the great Confucian "Sun Chengzong", who said that Zhu Youxiao is "

"Illiterate" is equivalent to scolding Master Sun for being incompetent.

It was such a sixteen-year-old boy who was slandered as illiterate by the Donglin Party. After his father's unexplained death, he hurriedly came to the throne. Even though he had no one to rely on, he still firmly grasped the power of the government.

The ministers of the hall were playing with it in their palms.

No matter how careful you deal with such a hero, you cannot be too careful. To look down on Zhu Youxiao is to look down on the princes of the Ming Dynasty!

Moreover, Zhang Zongxian believed that Wei Zhongxian was just a scapegoat pushed out by Zhu Youxiao. If Zhu Youxiao was able to control the court, he must be a man of his own opinions. How could he listen to the instructions of an illiterate Wei Zhongxian?

Zhang Zongxian thought over and over in his heart what he wanted to express. He gradually fell into silence, forgetting the time and forgetting that he was in the imperial city.

It was not until the afternoon that Wei Zhongxian came back and brought him some steamed buns. Only then did Zhang Zongxian remember that he had only eaten one breakfast since he set off in the morning. After quickly finishing off the steamed buns, he asked Wei Zhongxian when he could see the crown prince.

Wei Zhongxian told him to stay calm and be patient. There were many people around the prince, so he had to be careful. After saying that, he left again. Zhang Zongxian had no choice but to continue waiting.

Just before dark, Wei Zhongxian brought a heroic young man to the room where Zhang Zongxian was. Zhang Zongxian understood that this young man was the current prince and the future Emperor Tianqi.

The moment the young man entered the house and Wei Zhongxian closed the door, Zhang Zongxian immediately knelt on the ground and saluted:

"I am under the official title of Zhang Zongxian, the magistrate of Jiazhou, and see the crown prince."

The young man ignored Zhang Zongxian's salute. He first looked up and down, then circled around Zhang Zongxian. Then he said:

"Daban, you are talking about him, he is the one who wrote "All Living Beings Should Be Tribulated".

"Reporting to His Highness the Crown Prince, it is him."

After receiving Wei Zhongxian's answer, Zhu Youxiao spoke:

"Get flat"

When Zhu Youxiao was looking at him, Zhang Zongxian kept scolding the old Zhu family's mother in his heart for letting him kneel for so long. Don't you know that the knees of time travelers cannot be bent? Let me kneel today, and you, the old Zhu family, will kneel down in the future.

time.

After hearing the calm voice, Zhang Zongxian quickly got up. He had never knelt down for anyone in such a long time. His knees hurt when he knelt down and he really wanted to rub them.

Zhu Youxiao turned around and sat on the chair. Wei Zhongxian quickly pulled Zhang Zongxian to stand five steps away from Zhu Youxiao. At this time, Zhu Youxiao said in an obviously threatening tone:

"Zhang Zongxian, you are so courageous. You have deceived the public and disrupted the imperial court with your evil words. Now you dare to break into the East Palace without permission. Aren't you afraid of being punished by the Nine Clans?"

The good guy came up and wanted to kill the nine tribes. Just when Zhang Zongxian was about to speak, Wei Zhongxian pulled him to kneel down together. After kneeling down, he let him speak:

"The crime of a minor official deserves to be punished by death, but it only involves the safety of the Ming Dynasty and cannot be acted upon."

"In the Ming Dynasty, the world is clear and the world is at peace, but the little magistrate is making alarmist remarks and bullying this prince, is he young and ignorant?"

Thanks to you for being able to speak out, the world will be restored to its original state, and the world will be at peace. You little brat. If it weren't for the fact that you are the heir, I dare to let you kneel down and talk, and I won't be able to kill you. Of course, Zhang Zongxian wouldn't dare to do anything to Zhu Youxiao.

In this way, I can only curse in my heart for being so addicted.

"Your Highness, is it not enough to explain that all sentient beings should be robbed? Is the Ming Dynasty in danger? If the secret had not been revealed by the minister, Jiannu would have been beaten to Shanghai Customs."

As soon as Zhu Youxiao mentioned that all living beings should be robbed, he couldn't control the young man's temperament and summoned him to ask:

"You said you wrote the Record of All Beings Ying Jie, but what proof is there? And how did you learn about the situation in Liaodong?"

"Weichen can't prove it, but Weichen knows that Shenzong's deadline is approaching, and the crown prince will ascend the throne as emperor and dominate the Ming Dynasty. As for how Weichen knows this, it's because Weichen's teacher told Weichen before he died."

Even though Wei Zhongxian had told him that he was about to become the emperor, he still couldn't hold back his excitement and pretended to reprimand:

"How outrageous. Grandpa Huang is just sick. How can he say that there will be a deadline? My father is in the prime of life. You are here to confuse the public and deceive the king. This prince will send you to Zhao Prison and have the Jinyi Guards to strictly guard you.

Torture. See if you still dare to talk nonsense."

Who doesn't want to be an emperor! How great it would be to be an emperor! Zhang Zongxian thought that if you wanted to give me to Jin Yiwei, you would have sent me away long ago. And you are still willing to come to see me. You must have some ideas.

"Whether Wei Chen has deceived the public and deceived the emperor, the prince will know after waiting for four months. It will not be too late to kill Wei Chen by then! The reason why Wei Chen wants to see the prince is because Wei Chen's master died before

I said that to save the Ming Dynasty, we have to rely on the crown prince!"

I'll try to flatter you a lot, but I'll give you a high hat first, so I'm not afraid you won't take the bait.

Sure enough, Zhu Youxiao became serious and wanted to hear what Zhang Zongxian had to say:

"Wei Chen's master originally wanted to set up an altar for Wei Chen to test his luck, but by mistake, he was sensed by Emperor Zhenwu and revealed the secret to him. He said that the Ming Dynasty has been in existence for more than two hundred years and is about to be catastrophic. If he can't

If you successfully overcome the calamity, there is a risk of the country overthrowing.

After learning the secrets of heaven, Weichen's master knew that his time was coming, so he told Weichen all the secrets he had learned, and then passed away. The previous records of sentient beings Ying Jie were based on Master Weichen's revelation of the secrets of heaven. Liaodong Jian

The slave is the first calamity of the Ming Dynasty.

Nowadays, Liaodong is still under the rule of the Ming Dynasty and has not been captured by the Jian slaves, which means that this disaster has been prevented, and we can deal with it carefully. But there are two more disasters after this disaster.

Wei Chen wants to meet the Crown Prince in order to deal with the disaster that threatens the Ming Dynasty the most. The Crown Prince is the future emperor of the Ming Dynasty. He is a real dragon who has come to the world. Only with the support of the Crown Prince can Wei Chen help the Ming Dynasty cope with this disaster. Only in this way can we save our lives.

The Ming Dynasty will last for eternity."

What Zhang Zongxian said was so serious, and with the events in Liaodong being fulfilled one by one, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but not believe it. After all, he was the prince and would become emperor sooner or later. If the Ming Dynasty disappeared, he would also disappear with him.

"What disaster is so severe that it wants to shake the Ming Dynasty? Tell me quickly?"

"Your Majesty, have you ever noticed that winter is getting colder and longer year by year? This is the disaster that will shake the Ming Dynasty!"

When Zhang Zongxian said this, Zhu Youxiao recalled it carefully and found that it was indeed the case. Although he was the heir to the throne, he naturally did not lack clothing to keep out the cold like the common people, but there was no floor heating in the palace! Naturally, he could get there quickly whether it was cold or not.

And there are records of how long winter lasts every year. Just ask someone to check.

"This winter is colder than in previous years, but there is always a summer that is not. How can this shake the Ming Dynasty?"

Why can't it be shaken? Extreme weather will inevitably cause grain harvests, and people will have to pay taxes if the grain harvests fail, forcing the people to survive. Why don't they rebel? Of course Zhang Zongxian can't say that. How can the rulers care about the lives of the people? What about the Ming Dynasty?

There has been no rebellion among the people in years. It is enough to send troops to suppress it, but it has to be serious enough to make the rulers afraid.

"Your Highness, the weather will get colder in the future. The Yangtze River will be frozen and it will snow in Guangdong. Until the land of China turns into a land of snow, the entire north will be covered with ice and snow, and thousands of fertile fields will turn into frozen soil. The imperial court can only

Move the capital to Nanjing."

Zhu Youxiao was educated by an emperor, so he naturally understood how much chaos would be caused if the north turned into a land of ice and snow. Without the people cultivating the fields, how would they be able to pay taxes to the court, and without taxes, how would they be able to support the army?

How can we rule the people without the army? Even if we can go to Nanjing to escape, what will the people in the north do? If this is the case, can the Ming Dynasty survive?

Thinking of the deathly silence of thousands of miles of ice, a trace of fear spread in Zhu Youxiao's heart. He really wanted to shout and call the guards, push this man who deceived the public to be beheaded, but the fulfillment of the record of the tribulation of all living beings made him unable to do so.

I dare to doubt that Wai Yi is the real one.

Zhang Zongxian looked at the pale Zhu Youxiao, secretly happy in his heart, and asked you to let me kneel down to talk. I have watched so many doomsday movies in my previous life, and I will scare you to death if I tell you.

After all, the current Zhu Youxiao has not yet ascended the throne, and has not yet experienced the bastard spirit that remains unchanged despite the collapse of Mount Tai. He asked eagerly:

"Will the north really be frozen? How to deal with this? Is God going to destroy our Ming Dynasty?"

Just be anxious! Just be anxious.
