Daming: Apocalypse of Longevity

Chapter 9 The Night Visit
As an emperor, Zhu Tianqi is a novice after all, and he is a novice among novices when playing tricks with the people below him. However, as long as the other party does not know that he is a novice and a novice, he can still scare people!
Although Zhu Tianqi's idea is very simple, he wanted to send a letter to Wei Zhongxian through Wang Tiqian, first to express that he still defends him, and second, to hope that he can also lose his car to protect his handsome man, and introduce a person who will take the blame. Show your loyalty to yourself.

But having said that, this Cui Chengxiu is the backbone of the eunuch party and Wei Zhongxian's godson. I'm afraid Wei Zhongxian will not give him up so easily, but no matter what, Wei Zhongxian has to find someone to blame. As long as someone in the eunuch party is because of this The impeachment incident was punished, which gave an effective feedback to the ministers who impeached Shangshu, so the next impeachment will be more violent.

But today's matter was different in the eyes of Wang Tigan, a veteran in officialdom. The frightened Wang Tigan immediately over-interpreted the matter.

In his opinion, the emperor first praised him and Wei Zhongxian as his right-hand men, which was implying that the emperor knew that he and Wei Zhongxian were in the same group!
Later, the emperor showed his intention to rectify the eunuch party, and even asked himself to send a message to Wei Zhongxian. This was not only a warning to Wei Zhongxian and asked the eunuch party members to restrain themselves, but also wasn't it a warning to himself?

Thinking of this, Wang Tiqian secretly made up his mind that he must cut ties with Wei Zhongxian and the eunuch party as soon as possible, at least until this turmoil passed, he could no longer get involved with them, if he wanted to save his life, he had to stand by the emperor's side yes!

Wang Tiqian went to Wei Zhongxian's house overnight. Wei Zhongxian obviously did not expect Wang Tiqian to visit late at night, and seemed very surprised, so he hurriedly welcomed him into the house personally.

This time, Wang Tiqian was not as close as before. Instead, he acted as if the two were not familiar with each other. He looked businesslike, with a "warm smile" on his face that was purely polite and courteous. Wei Zhongxian saluted: "Young Wang Tigan, I have met the factory master!"

Wei Zhongxian couldn't help being taken aback by Wang Tigan's abnormal performance, and an unprecedented sense of crisis surged from the bottom of his heart, but he reacted quickly, grinning quickly, and pulled Wang Tigan to invite him to take a seat: "Hey, Eunuch Wang, you Why are you so polite today? Please sit down, please sit down!"

After saying this, he hurriedly ordered his servants: "Why are you so stunned? Why don't you serve tea to the prince!"

Wang Tiqian, however, seemingly casually broke away from Wei Zhongxian's hand and did not sit down. He said with a smile: "There's no need for tea. Let's ask the factory manager to take a look at this first!"

While talking, Wang Tiqian handed the memorials to Wei Zhongxian.

Wei Zhongxian had long thought that something big might have happened, but for a while he didn't think about what went wrong. Now when he saw the memorial, he instantly understood that he had many spies in the palace, and was used by others He already knew about the impeachment!

So Wei Zhongxian received the memorial, but he didn't even need to read it. In other words, as an illiterate, he read it in vain.

Wei Zhongxian quickly grabbed Wang Tiqian's arm and came forward with a nervous look on his face, "Brother Wang, could it be said that the emperor is going to attack me this time?" Now, Wei Zhongxian no longer feels afraid. , there was a ferocious light in his eyes, and he obviously had murderous intentions!
When Wang Tiqian met Wei Zhongxian's sharp eyes, he couldn't help but tremble in his heart. He even almost wavered at that moment and wanted to fall to Wei Zhongxian's side again, and had the idea of ​​following him in rebellion.

But it only took a moment. Wang Tiqian regained his senses in an instant. Not only did he not say that rebellion was unreliable, but he said that throughout history, how could any eunuch be the emperor?Therefore, it is safest to be obedient and loyal to the Emperor. Even if Wei Zhongxian is now able to control the sky with one hand, in the final analysis, his power is all given by the Emperor!
Wang Tigan once again raised his hand and pushed away Wei Zhongxian's hand on his arm. He smiled and said, "Don't be so nervous, Mr. Factory. Your Majesty still trusts Mr. Factory, otherwise he wouldn't have sent him so late." Your servant comes here to send you a message!"

When Wei Zhongxian heard this, he frowned immediately, stared at Wang Tiqian, and asked: "Did the emperor ask the father-in-law to send me a message? What did the emperor say?"

According to etiquette, the eunuchs in the palace come to deliver messages to ministers, just like oral instructions, and they have to kneel down to receive the order, but who cares about Wei Zhongxian at this time?Naturally, Wang Tigan did not dare to ask Wei Zhongxian to kneel down, but now that Wang Tigan had changed his mind, he secretly cursed Wei Zhongxian for not following etiquette and law, and for not being a king!
Wang Ti coughed twice, cleared his throat, and then said: "Your Majesty said, now that hundreds of officials are being impeached, I hope the factory owner can restrain his subordinates more and restrain himself more, so as not to make it difficult for Your Majesty!"

Having said this, Wang Tiqian pointed to the several memorials in Wei Zhongxian's hand and said with a smile: "But the emperor still defends you, the emperor. The emperor has withheld the memorials to impeach the factory. These memorials They are all used to impeach others, and your name is not on them!"

Wang Tigan paused, put his face close to Wei Zhongxian's ear, and whispered: "Your Majesty has good intentions and treats you well. As slaves, shouldn't we also show some respect?"

After saying this, Wang Tiqian stood up straight, saluted Wei Zhongxian, and said loudly: "Your Majesty's words have been brought to our family. Mr. Factory, please take your leave!"

"Oh..." Wei Zhongxian came to his senses and hurriedly called Wang Tigan: "Brother Wang, stay!" Then he winked at his subordinates, and the subordinates beside him immediately brought a tray covered with red cloth. With a corner exposed, you can see that this is a tray full of gold ingots!
Normally, Wang Tiqian would not be polite to Wei Zhongxian, but now at a critical time, how could he dare to covet such a small amount of money?Immediately waved his hands, didn't even say anything to evade, but looked upright, refused to be thousands of miles away, and said a few times: "No, no!" Then turned around and left quickly.

Wang Tiqian didn't even accept the money. Wei Zhongxian was really scared this time.

Wei Zhongxian sat on the chair, his expression not very good. Now the emperor was completely out of his control. He could not figure out the emperor's current thoughts at all. He could not even confirm whether the emperor wanted to punish him this time or not. To protect him!
Rebellion may be the simplest and crudest option, but after all, the risk of rebellion is too high, so you should not act rashly unless it is a last resort!
So after much deliberation, Wei Zhongxian finally decided to wait and see what happened and take it one step at a time. At least, he had to confirm the emperor's true thoughts before deciding whether to go against it!
Wei Zhongxian looked sternly, handed the memorial in his hand to the subordinate beside him, and said coldly: "Read it!"

　The new book seedlings need everyone's joint care, and I hope you will support me!
