As usual, Wei Zhongxian returned to his residence in the palace a little tired. Hakka had been serving the emperor. Even though at this time, there was no shortage of Hakka by the emperor's side, she was not willing to be with him anyway.
return.
The room was dark with no lights at all. He just sat in the darkness, looking at the darkness outside the door and doing nothing.
The little eunuchs who were waiting did not dare to approach from a distance. After the little eunuch who went in without permission to light the lamps was killed by Jiu Qiansui, who was in a bad mood, no one dared to mention lighting the lamps again.
This made this huge house look like a dark and silent beast. It seemed that if the people outside made the slightest sound, the beast would be able to devour them.
There seemed to be noises in the distance, but Wei Zhongxian didn't care at all. This was a big house, and if someone was making noises, no matter how loud they were, the eunuchs in charge of the various offices would soon calm down those ignorant guys.
"come in!"
I don’t know how long it took, but Wei Zhongxian’s voice came from the room. A group of young eunuchs filed in as if they were celebrating a general amnesty. Those who lit the lamps lit the lamps, and those who brought food and drinks brought food and drinks. And one of them was preparing to report the matter.
According to the importance of the matter, he served Wei Zhongxian.
"Huo Weihua, Secretary of the Ministry of War, asked to see my father-in-law three times today, but he was sent back directly as per his instructions. Huo Weihua said that there are frequent enemies on the nine sides, and he wanted to ask for the permission of the nine thousand years old, so he asked himself to go to Shanxi to guard!"
"No!"
Wei Zhongxian said expressionlessly: "Your Majesty just drowned a little. Because he took the fairy dew he donated, his whole body is edematous. The imperial doctor is helpless. At this time, he wants to hide in Shanxi. He has a good idea."
!”
"The Dongchang will strictly monitor his whereabouts. If there are any disrespectful, slanderous or resentful remarks, he will be directly charged and punished!"
"Over at the Nanjing Imperial Hospital, in accordance with Jiu Qian Sui's order, twenty-six imperial doctors below him have arrived at the Capital Imperial Hospital. The imperial doctor is asking Jiu Qian Sui when he can enter the palace!"
"You can enter the palace as soon as the palace door opens tomorrow. The Jinyi Guards are keeping an eye on this group of people, and they are not allowed to talk nonsense around, nor are they allowed to have contact with people outside the Imperial Hospital!"
"Suzhou Weaving Li Shi reported that Suzhou Governor Mao Yiqu led his troops to seize Jiangnan Guanfeng Envoy Jiang Wan. On the Nanjing side, Wei Guogong's Mansion and the Guarding Eunuch's Mansion have sent personnel to Suzhou. Li Shi asked what should be done about this matter.
Dispose of it!"
"Let the person named Xu from Nanjing handle this matter..."
Wei Zhongxian gently picked up a piece of the dish in front of him and replied casually. The people around him continued to talk about the matter. He was suddenly stunned and put down the chopsticks in his hand: "Let me tell you again what happened in Jiangsu just now!"
"Suzhou Governor Mao Yiqu led his troops to seize Jiangnan Guanfeng Envoy Jiang Wan, over in Nanjing..."
"I know, Li Shi and the Nanjing side directly arrested Mao Yiqu and deported him to Beijing on the pretext of dispatching troops privately!" Wei Zhongxian's face suddenly became a bit ferocious: "These bastards, when did it happen?
, you are still looking for trouble for our family, do you mean you don’t know how to write the word “death”?
"Nine thousand years old, that feathered coronet is one of ours!" The people around him reminded softly: "It is not particularly easy to place a person like the governor over there in the south of the Yangtze River!"
"So what?" Wei Zhongxian turned his head and gave him a cold look: "Then Jiang Wan is still a member of His Highness King Xin. Now His Highness King Xin is serving His Majesty in the palace. Do you want to ask King Xin?
Your Highness, let’s see what he says?”
"Son, I don't dare!" The man lowered his head and didn't dare to say more.
Footsteps sounded outside, and it seemed that many people were talking. The only person who made such a big movement in this place was the Hakka family.
Wei Zhongxian waved his hand to stop the reports from those around him: "Let's leave it at that for now. The empress is back. If anything happens, let's talk about it tomorrow. Take away the food and wine, and bring over some of the hot dishes that the empress likes!"
The people in the room left in response. After a while, Mr. Hakka walked in, glanced at Wei Zhongxian, sat in front of Wei Zhongxian, picked up his wine glass, poured himself a glass, and drank it all.
"Don't you usually drink alcohol?!"
While Wei Zhongxian was talking, he picked up the wine pot and filled the wine glass in front of Hakka: "Is your Majesty asleep?"
"I didn't sleep. I was talking to King Xin, but everyone, including my concubine, was asked to leave!"
Wei Zhongxian's face suddenly became nervous: "Your Majesty, it's not that, he is young and his body should be able to withstand it!"
"have no idea!"
There was a sad look on Ke's face: "Why did things become like this? It was obviously fine, but it was just a little cold, so why did it become like this!"
Wei Zhongxian remained silent.
Keshi suddenly became a little irritable: "It's that Huo Weihua who insists on offering some kind of fairy dew. Your Majesty is cold, how can I supplement these tiger and wolf medicines? I saw that he just had unintended intentions and wanted to kill the king!"
"How can he have such courage? He is just a timid guy!" Wei Zhongxian shook his head.
"I don't care. Anyway, if you don't want me to bear any grudge against you, Huo Weihua has to get out. If His Majesty really has some shortcomings, then all nine members of the Huo family will have to die for Your Majesty!"
Hakka's face was as ferocious as Wei Zhongxian's before. Wei Zhongxian felt a chill in his heart. This was the first time in so many years that he had seen Hakka lose his composure. From this point of view, the situation on His Majesty's side was really not optimistic.
"Let's get down to business. Whether Huo Weihua lives or dies is a matter of just one sentence!"
Wei Zhongxian lowered his voice: "I mean, you and I should also think about it. If His Majesty really has something that he cannot bear to say, who will succeed him? How should you and I welcome the new king? What should we do?
How to behave in the palace?"
"Who do you think will succeed?" Keshi's eyes widened: "You really don't know what's going on? At this time, His Majesty summoned the king to the palace, don't you understand?"
"I don't want to get accurate information from Bi's mouth!" Wei Zhongxian did not care about the Hakka family and frowned a little: "King Xin seems to have always been too polite to me but not close enough. If it is true that he will inherit the throne,
President, I really need to think carefully about how to please him!"
"These are your men's affairs!" Keshi shook his head: "Don't tell me, I don't understand, I just want to live peacefully in the palace. Your Majesty is like this now, I am really a little confused!
"
"You can't be without a master!" Wei Zhongxian shook his head: "Those in the harem who usually have complaints in private should be dealt with as soon as possible. You don't want to think that the new king will hear some gossip when the time comes. If they don't talk about it now,
Maybe in the future, when I get bolder, I’ll start chewing my tongue!”
He nodded slowly: "I will take care of the things outside the palace, and you should plan well for the things inside the palace. Although His Majesty has always been friendly to us, we also hope that His Majesty will live a long life, but what has happened is that
At this point, we have to take some contingency measures. In short, no matter how the Ming Dynasty changes, you and I must live well!"
Keshi looked at Wei Zhongxian with a complicated expression in his eyes, and then nodded slowly: "Yes!"
