Daming: Apocalypse of Longevity

Chapter 8 Wolfberry Hot Water Thermos Cup

But the strange thing is that Wang Tigan, as Wei Zhongxian's die-hard lackey, has helped the evil and evil for so many years. After Wei Zhongxian's fall, he escaped Chongzhen's liquidation. He was only convicted of a small crime of "fawning and supporting" and was not even fined. Just hand it over and let it go!
According to Chongzhen's character, he was committed to eradicating evil, so why did he only show mercy to this king?Then there is only one truth. Wang Tiqian rebelled. He betrayed Wei Zhongxian and became Chongzhen's undercover!

So if this is the case, it means that Wei Zhongxian's camp is not monolithic. At least this Wang Tigan can be pried. It is better to try his depth first.

Wang Tiqian was a little frightened by Zhu Tianqi's stare, but he didn't dare to express his anger. He just stood respectfully, waiting for Zhu Tianqi's instructions.

Zhu Tianqi stared at him for a long time, but suddenly showed a gentle smile. Wang Tiqian didn't know why, so he had to grin with a smile that was uglier than crying, and giggled along with Zhu Tianqi.

Zhu Tianqi stood up and walked to Wang Tiqian's side, patted his shoulder lightly, and said: "Wang Tiqian, to me, you and Wei Zhongxian are like my right-hand men, both of you are my great brothers. Your loyal minister!"

After hearing this, Wang Tiqian hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "Your Majesty is so complimentary, but I really don't dare to be a slave. It is my duty to serve the Emperor, and I don't dare to be greedy for credit!"

"Hahaha..." Zhu Tianqi laughed loudly, "You don't have to be so nervous, I'm just telling you what's on my mind."

"Yes!" If Wang Ti was nervous, it was a lie. His forehead was already covered with fine sweat.

Zhu Tianqi immediately sat back on the chair, leaned on the backrest, picked up the memorials sent by Wang Tiqian and read them. There were more than a dozen memorials in total, all of which were to impeach Wei Zhongxian and the eunuch party, but some were bold enough to impeach Wei Zhongxian directly. In person, some put it more tactfully, it is Wei Zhongxian’s lackeys who are being impeached!
Wang Tiqian saw that Zhu Tianqi's face was getting more and more ugly, and his heart was beating faster and faster. It was obvious that this time the emperor was different from before. He was really angry, but the problem was that the emperor was not very good. Can you read?What happened this time...

In fact, Zhu Tianqi didn't look at the charges listed in the memorial at all, he just looked at who was the person to be impeached and who was being impeached. However, he had to do enough on the surface, so he threw the memorial on the table. , slammed the table and became furious!
"Presumptuous! Bold!"

Wang Tiqian was so frightened that he almost lost his soul, he quickly kowtowed and said: "The emperor calms down, the emperor calms down!"

Zhu Tianqi was so "angry" that his chest heaved violently, "These rotten scholars don't think about sharing my worries all day long. They know that the party is the same as the opposite party. They impeach this person today and impeach that person tomorrow. They can't look down on anyone just because they have read a few books." ?”

After Wang Tiqian heard this, he was secretly relieved. Listening to the emperor's words, it seemed that he was not angry because of the crimes of the eunuchs listed in these memorials, but rather angry at these superior people. This shows that the emperor I still protect them.

Zhu Tianqi "finished his anger", but he sat down with a bit of embarrassment and sighed: "But with so many people petitioning for impeachment, it is difficult for me to do it!"

After hearing this, Wang Tiqian keenly smelled a hint of danger. He wanted to say that most of the charges these people were impeached were fabricated out of thin air to taint people's innocence. If the emperor was worried that it would be difficult to convince the public by directly dismissing them, why not? Leave it to him to verify the matter.

As long as you take the matter on yourself, you will have all the means to get through and prove the eunuch's "innocence", and you will also have all the means to kill those who were impeached one by one!
But the moment Wang Tiqian opened his mouth, he stopped again, because he suddenly thought, what if the emperor really wanted to punish the eunuchs this time?After all, in the past, the emperor would not have paid attention to such a memorial. What's more, the emperor scolded Wei Zhongxian and drove him away for some reason two days ago. This is very unusual!
Now that I'm still taking this matter on myself, isn't that asking for death?

Being an official in the court is mostly icing on the cake and adding insult to injury. It is almost impossible to see anyone offering help in times of trouble. For eunuchs, it is even worse. There is no friendship at all. The most important thing is always yourself!Zhu Tianqi saw that Wang Tigan was silent and could not figure out his thoughts, so he temporarily gave up the idea of ​​​​inciting rebellion against Wang Tigan and just planned to use him. As for the effect, it could only depend on luck.

When Zhu Tianqi thought of this, he continued what he had just said: "Well, I will temporarily withhold everything in these memorials that involves Wei Zhongxian. As for the rest, I can't preserve them. After all, so many people are collectively The impeachment of Shangshu is coming fiercely, if we don't give them an explanation, there may be another trouble!"

After saying this, Zhu Tianqi shook his head and sighed: "I am incompetent. I can't even save my left and right arms..."

"Your Majesty..." Wang Tiqian wanted to say a few words of comfort, but once he opened his mouth, he didn't know what to say.

Zhu Tianqi then continued with a bit of hatred: "Actually, we can't blame them entirely for impeaching them. They do go too far in their daily lives. Wang Tigan, please run for me and deliver a message to Wei Zhongxian. , remind him, let him and the people under his command restrain themselves, and don’t make it difficult for me!”

After saying this, Zhu Tianqi deliberately threw several memorials involving Cui Chengxiu to Wang Tigan. Wang Tigan hurriedly picked them up and held them in his arms.

"My slave obeys your order and will go out on errands now. Please rest assured, Your Majesty!" Wang Tiqian listened carefully, saluted, stood up and was about to leave.

"Wait!" Zhu Tianqi stopped him again and picked up the thermos cup on the table, "Before you go, help me clean this cup, fill it with wolfberry and longan in boiled water and bring it back. Oh, then Bring over some good red dates!"

"Yes!" Wang Tiqian responded. He stepped forward and took the thermos cup with both hands. He saw that the cup was crystal clear and unlike ordinary products. It must be made of fine crystal. He was even more careful, lest he break this priceless treasure!

Wang Tiqian did his work quickly and came back in a short time. In the cup, he had soaked wolfberry longan according to Zhu Tianqi's instructions, and also brought a plate of washed red dates.

Zhu Tianqi nodded with satisfaction and waved to him: "Okay, go and do your errands!"

"My slave, please leave!" Wang Tiqian leaned over to salute, and then quickly retreated.

Zhu Tianqi didn't know how good his acting skills were, whether he had deceived Wang Ti into being an old eunuch, but it was just a matter of luck anyway, and he didn't expect to catch all Wei Zhongxian and the eunuchs so quickly, so he didn't feel any psychological pressure.

As soon as Wang Tiqian left, he picked up the historical book he had just read half-way through and started reading. He picked up a red date with his other hand and threw it into his mouth. While chewing it, he said to himself: "Three dates a day, it's better than anything else." Pass Ganoderma lucidum grass!”
