Starting in Saarhu, it is a bit difficult to make a comeback.

Chapter 72: Saving "Nine Thousand Years Old" (please read the new chapter)
At this time, outside the Qianqing Palace, a man wearing a jeweled crown and a dragon-patterned brocade robe was blocked by a young eunuch.

The young eunuch said politely: "Prince, the imperial concubine is inside at the moment. You'd better stay a while and ask to see the prince again."

Although the young eunuch's tone was quite polite, it could be seen that there was still a trace of contempt in his eyes.

Seeing his master being so humiliated, the old eunuch beside the man couldn't bear it anymore. He yelled loudly: "Bold slaves, you dare to stop the prince from facing the king. This is alienating the royal family."

Instead of being afraid, the young eunuch said even more disdainfully: "Li Jinzhong, you are already old, don't you know the rules in this palace? Our family only abides by the emperor's orders."

"You don't even look at where this place is and you dare to make such a fuss here. Don't you know who you are?"

"We would like to advise you not to cause trouble for your master."

The little eunuch's casual conversation made the old eunuch who was furious just now lose his temper.

The prince Zhu Changluo was helpless about this, or he was used to it. This was just a microcosm of his life in the palace for decades.

As a majestic crown prince and heir apparent of the Ming Dynasty, he could only humble himself to a young eunuch, and he was unable to exchange for any mercy from him.

At this time, Zhu Changluo was sweating profusely, and tears kept rolling in his eyes.Helplessly, he had no choice but to kneel in front of the palace and kowtow while crying: "Father, Queen Mother is dying. Please go to Kunning Palace to see her. If you go late, you may not be able to see her!" "

The "Queen Mother" he refers to is not his biological mother, Concubine Wang Gong, but the Queen of Wanli.

His biological mother, Concubine Wang Gong, had passed away many years ago. Because Wanli disliked Concubine Wang Gong's background as a palace maid, he also looked down upon his eldest son, Zhu Changluo, and always called their mother and son "evil mothers and evil sons."

Even though he was forced to make Zhu Changluo the crown prince, Wanli still imprisoned Concubine Wang Gong in Jingyang Palace and did not allow mother and son to see each other. It was not until before his death that Zhu Changluo smashed his head in front of Wanli that mother and son finally met.

At that time, Concubine Wang Gong could no longer see her son, and her eyes had long been blinded by crying.

This poor woman finally finished her life after being tortured. Although she was not welcomed by Wanli during her lifetime, they still had to sleep together after death.

After all, she was the biological mother of the Ming Dynasty Crown Prince. Wanli refused to let go of her mourning until ten months after her death and buried Concubine Wang Gong's coffin.

Zhu Changluo had neither father's nor mother's love since he was a child. After the death of Empress Dowager Li, Empress Wang became the only person to take care of him.

So now that Queen Wang is critically ill, he has to invite Wanli to Kunning Palace to meet his mother and queen no matter what.

The commotion outside the palace was too loud, which directly aroused Wanli's dissatisfaction.

A young eunuch hurriedly walked in and said, "Your Majesty, the prince is asking for an audience outside the palace gate."

At this time, Concubine Zheng's face suddenly darkened and she said, "It seems that I have delayed the reunion of your father and son, so I will go to Yikun Palace."

Wanli knew that Concubine Zheng was angry, so he shouted loudly: "Didn't I say that the prince was not allowed to come when Concubine Zheng was here? How did you do your job?"

Seeing Wanli's anger, the young eunuch panicked and immediately knelt down and said: "The slaves also persuaded the prince in the same way. It's just that the eunuch beside the prince, Li Jinzhong, encouraged the prince and made a loud noise, disturbing the emperor and the concubine. Please also invite Your Majesty, please forgive me."

During the "Strike Case", Concubine Zheng was forced to apologize to the prince and ask for his forgiveness due to pressure from the courtiers. She regarded it as a great shame and humiliation.

Therefore, Wanli ordered the prince not to come when Concubine Zheng was there, lest the two meet and intensify conflicts.

At this time, Concubine Zheng couldn't do anything to the prince, so she took it out on Li Jinzhong.

Then he said: "The servants around the prince are really becoming more and more unruly. Even your majesty doesn't care about them, let alone me, the imperial concubine."

After saying that, he even pretended to cry.

So Wanli was furious and said: "Someone will give me fifty sticks for this Li Jinzhong."

"Li Jinzhong", this name sounds familiar.

Li Xianzhong soon realized. Didn't Eunuch Wei use the pseudonym Li Jinzhong before he became "Nine Thousand Years Old"?
It's the eunuch next to the prince again. It seems that Eunuch Wei has not escaped.

Could it be that his destiny was changed because he traveled through time?
Looking at Concubine Zheng's attitude, she wants to kill Eunuch Wei directly with a stick!

At present, Li Jinzhong is just a eunuch who has not yet made a fortune. It is absolutely unacceptable for him to offend Concubine Zheng.

The current atmosphere in the Qianqing Palace was really awkward, and Li Xianzhong realized that it was time for him to leave.

Then he said: "I have been harassing Your Majesty and Your Majesty for a long time. It's time to leave."

At this time, Concubine Zheng said: "General Li has been working hard for His Majesty for a long time. Cui Wensheng, you will send him off for me. By the way, go and show me whether those slaves who are making boards are hiding anything."

After Concubine Zheng said these words, Chang Yun's eyebrows tightened. It seemed that Concubine Zheng was determined to use Li Jinzhong as a slave to scare the monkeys and let the whole harem see who was the master of the Forbidden City.

When Li Xianzhong walked out of the Qianqing Palace, blood was already flowing from Zhu Changluo's forehead.

When he heard that Li Jinzhong was going to be punished with fifty lashes, he was extremely angry and fainted from excitement.

The eunuchs around him just looked at him coldly. It was unprecedented for the crown prince to do what Zhu Changluo did.

Li Xianzhong quickly went up and helped Zhu Changluo, who was lying on the ground, and found a pulse. Fortunately, it was just a temporary fainting and nothing serious.

He pinched Zhu Changluo's middle hard, and he woke up.Li Xianzhong slowly helped him stand up and said: "General Li Xianzhong has just come out of the Qianqing Palace. Your Majesty and your empress are talking in the palace. Your Highness the Crown Prince's actions today are too reckless. It is better to see your Majesty later."

So Cui Wensheng on the side said: "You two, why don't you help His Royal Highness go back to rest quickly?"

Looking at Zhu Changluo with his head covered in blood, and then thinking about Zhu Changxun who was favored to heaven, Li Xianzhong shook his head helplessly.

Although Zhu Changluo was not favored by Wanli, after all, he had been established as the prince for so many years. At least there were ministers who taught him some lessons.

But later, the education of the two brothers Zhu Youxiao and Zhu Youjian is really hard to describe.

Cui Wensheng said: "General Li, our family should have sent you out of the palace in person. However, I still have the responsibility of prison, so it is inconvenient to send you far away."

Li Xianzhong said: "I just have nothing to do. I heard that the punishment of the rod in the palace is very particular. Can I accompany Eunuch Cui to watch the execution?"

Li Xianzhong's request was really strange. Cui Wensheng didn't expect that he had such a hobby.

But today, thanks to Li Xianzhong's guidance, he received the emperor's reward and accepted his Dongzhu. Although this request was not in compliance with the rules, it was not a big deal.

At this time, Li Jinzhong had been taken to the execution hall.

He has been in the palace for 30 years, and by hooking up with the emperor's nanny Ke Yinyue, he finally gained the trust of the emperor's grandson Zhu Youxiao.

Today, Wang An, the eunuch beside the prince, reported that he was ill. He finally got a chance to stay with the prince. He originally wanted to show off in front of the prince.

Unexpectedly, he exerted too much force and was sent directly to the execution hall.

This punishment with a stick is very particular. As long as you use money, the eunuchs who execute the execution may look like they were beaten to pieces, but in fact nothing happened; they may also look like they were beaten with little force, but every stick is used. The beating will hurt you to the point of bone marrow, and you will not be able to survive 20 blows.

Originally, Li Xianzhong also had some savings, so it was not difficult to spend some money to buy his life from them.

But now Concubine Zheng sent Cui Wensheng to prison, which was obviously going to cost her own life.

At this time, he was full of regret, blaming himself for impulsively wanting to show off in front of the prince.

Just when Li Jinzhong was about to accept his fate, he saw a man dressed as a military general saying, "Why do you look so similar to Uncle Wei?"

Then he continued: "Are you from Suning, Beizhili? Your original name is Wei Si, nicknamed 'Wei Fool'?"

Li Jinzhong was confused when asked. He was indeed from Suning, Beizhili. His nickname was Wei Si. People nearby called him "Wei Fool".

How could this general know this when he looks like he is only 20 years old?

But now there is a dead end, maybe there will be a chance of survival, so he replied: "The villain was indeed called Wei Si before entering the palace, and he was known as 'Wei Fool'. How did the general know?"

Li Xianzhong said with a surprised expression: "That's right, you must be Uncle Wei's son who came to the palace many years ago."

This is even more strange. When my damn father died, he had not yet entered the palace, and my mother had not remarried. This person was obviously talking nonsense.

However, he still said as if he had grasped a life-saving straw at this time: "I wonder how this general knew my father?"

Cui Wensheng was even more confused at this time. Li Xianzhong said he was here to watch the execution. How could he turn into acknowledgment? He was only in his early 20s and could know the old eunuch's father?
But he said he had a nose and eyes.

At this time, Li Xianzhong was also sweating, fearing that he had misremembered the information about "nine thousand years old".

Li Xianzhong whispered: "Eunuch Cui doesn't know that this man is the long-lost son of Wei Wuji, a good friend of Master Ziyun. Uncle Wei was separated from his son many years ago. After asking around, he learned that his son had entered the palace. Became a eunuch."

"Since he is the son of my master's old friend, I wonder if Eunuch Cui can do something convenient to spare his life?"

At this time, Cui Wensheng said in embarrassment: "If he committed an ordinary thing, it is not difficult to keep him alive based on the friendship between you and me. But is this the person named by the imperial concubine for the slave to watch?"

So Li Xianzhong took out another golden pearl the size of a lychee and whispered: "This East Pearl can be exchanged for 2000 taels of silver from Duke Cheng Guo at Jubaozhai. Brother Cui can also keep it for himself."

After Cui Wensheng took Dongzhu, he said with a smile: "The imperial concubine's intention must be to teach this Li Jinzhong a lesson. You guys will beat me hard and there will be no mercy."

At this time, Li Jinzhong saw that Cui Wensheng's feet that were originally spread out were now inward.

This is a slang term used by execution eunuchs, which means leaving a life behind.

Although he didn't know why this general he had never met would spend a lot of money to save his life, he would definitely repay this life-saving grace in the future.

After that, Li Xianzhong left the palace.
