Of course it was true, Lu Xiao even put the evidence on his face.
"Of course it is true. Factory sir, please take a look. This one is a sample kept in the palace. And this one is the two drawings obtained by the craftsmen. At first glance, there is no difference. But in the subtleties
, someone made modifications. The sum of these subtle errors is the reason why His Majesty’s treasure ship sank.”
Wei Zhongxian didn't look at the drawings. He couldn't even recognize a few words, let alone read the drawings. But he knew that Lu Xiao would not lie about this kind of thing. The key was that what Lu Xiao said made him feel a deep feeling.
A sense of horror.
All of Wei Zhongxian's power comes from the emperor. During Emperor Tianqi's reign, he had great power and lived the most comfortable life. Unless he wanted to jump out of his comfort zone, otherwise, he must have hoped that Emperor Tianqi would live a long life. At least.
It would be better to live longer than yourself. Then you can hold the power until your death.
Therefore, from the moment the emperor fell into the water, Wei Zhongxian concluded that there must be someone behind the scenes. He has been fighting with the Donglin Party for his whole life, but he knows very well what these clean-blooded people who talk about benevolence, justice and morality are. They can do anything to murder the emperor.
Wei Zhongxian has no doubts about the matter.
Previously, all Wei Zhongxian's energy was focused on the time period before and after the treasure ship fell into the water. I don't know how many people were captured in Zhao Prison. From the boatman, to the guards, to the maids and servants who served, and even some concubines in the harem.
They were all under investigation. But he didn't expect that the problem would arise so early.
And while Wei Zhongxian was deep in thought, Lu Xiao on the side gave him another powerful dose of medicine.
"Manufacturer, there is one more thing that I am worried about."
"Say." Wei Zhongxian sat up straight, obviously not wanting to let go of every word Lu Xiao said.
"After I investigated the matter, I was worried about His Majesty's comfort, so I investigated the imperial physician who was serving His Majesty."
"Is there something wrong with the imperial doctor?"
Now Wei Zhongxian really couldn't sit still. The inside of the palace has always been his territory. He couldn't tolerate someone being able to bypass him and cause trouble in his territory.
At Wei Zhongxian's peak moment, Lu Xiao believed that the other party had this ability. But now it is the seventh year of Tianqi. It is also the last year of Wei Zhongxian's power. It can be seen from the ending of history. At this moment, Wei Zhongxian is very invisible.
The power is probably no longer in his control.
"Returning to the factory, Mr. We are not sure whether there is any problem with the imperial doctors. I have investigated the imperial doctors who are treating His Majesty. I found that the dosage of medicine they gave to His Majesty is increasing, and they even administered some powerful drugs."
No one knows the inner workings of the palace better than Wei Zhongxian. So when Lu Xiao said these words, he instantly understood what Lu Xiao meant.
Unless absolutely necessary, those imperial doctors would never change the prescription easily. Since they did so, it proved that the other party had no idea. In other words, the emperor's situation was not good!!!
"Lu Xiao, how long have you been staying in this position of Thousand Households?"
"Mr., it's been two years since I returned to the factory."
"It's been two years, it's time to make some moves. Okay, you go back first."
Lu Xiao stood up and left. Only Wei Zhongxian was left sitting in the living room. About a moment after burning the incense, Wei Zhongxian's voice came from the living room.
"Prepare the carriage, I want to enter the palace."
After Lu Xiao left Wei Zhongxian's home, he walked in the direction of his own home. However, after walking a few steps, he stopped and turned around and walked into a small alley.
After a few breaths, another figure followed into the alley. But at this time, there was no figure of Lu Xiao anywhere in the alley.
After the other party searched to no avail, he left angrily. Not far away, Lu Xiao looked at the other party's leaving figure, thought for a moment and did not follow him.
Back home, Lu Wenzhao and Shen Lian were already waiting.
"how's it going?"
"I've said everything that needs to be said. The rest depends on how Wei Zhongxian responds. But... things may not be that simple. When I left, I was followed by someone. No, not just following. The other party
I followed him almost openly."
Lu Wenzhao and Shen Lian were silent for a moment. A few years ago, who would have dared to follow Wei Zhongxian's people. Moreover, Lu Xiao himself was a member of Qianhu Jinyiwei, a real fifth-grade official.
"It seems that our backer is not very reliable anymore." Lu Wenzhao said with emotion. "Today I met Han Kuang, Mr. Han (movie character) on the street. The two of us exchanged a few words. I didn't pay attention at the time.
Now it seems that the other party’s words seem to have a vague intention to win over.”
"Haha, it's interesting. The Donglin Party has been hiding for many years, and it seems that it is about to exert its strength. Wei Zhongxian still has the upper hand on the surface. But the subtleties have long been different from the past. Now it seems that even if we remind Wei Zhongxian,
He may not be able to pass this test!"
Shen Lian was a little confused.
"Wei Zhongxian has been running the government for many years. I don't know how many people he has won over..."
"What he did was not called wining over. It was just a group of people who wanted to join forces. Look at those disciples of Wei Zhongxian, what kind of people they are. Most of them are just using Wei Zhongxian's name to make money. When the critical moment comes, none of them will
The one in charge. And when I went to see Wei Zhongxian, I met Zhao Jingzhong."
"He is the adopted son of Wei Zhongxian, who is rumored to be taking over Dongchang."
"That's him. But looking at his face, I'm afraid he's been reprimanded. According to my intelligence, Wei Zhongxian handed the emperor's eucalyptus that fell into the water to Zhao Jingzhong. But obviously, Zhao Jingzhong didn't find us to this point. Or rather
, he didn’t dare to investigate further.”
Lu Wenzhao understood what Lu Xiao meant.
"You mean, he has second thoughts? He is Wei Zhongxian's most valued adopted son."
"There's nothing surprising. Birds of a feather flock together and people flock together. Wei Zhongxian is interested in something good. Maybe he hasn't really developed a second mind yet. But as long as he has this tendency, I'm afraid he won't be able to control it."
While watching the movie, Lu Xiao had a question. Wei Zhongxian fell and the eunuchs were liquidated. But why was Zhao Jingzhong the leader??? You must know that Zhao Jingzhong is Wei Zhongxian's adopted son, so he should be the biggest eunuch talent.
yes?
But Zhao Jingzhong not only took over Wei Zhongxian's job, but also took the seat of Dongchang factory owner. He was also ordered to liquidate the eunuch party, which contained a lot of information. The most likely possibility is that before Wei Zhongxian fell, Zhao Jingzhong had already defected to Dongchang.
The other party should have made great efforts in the downfall of the Lin Party and even Wei Zhongxian, so that they could receive this kind of treatment.
"Now it seems that our factory boss is already being cooked by fire and is surrounded by enemies from all sides." Shen Lian also concluded.
"You are right, but fortunately, Eunuch Wei has not fallen yet. Otherwise, we eunuchs can work hard to make Eunuch Wei last a few more days!"
