Chapter 491: Peak Showdown

At this time, Wei Zhongxian sighed.

He knew one thing very well that his interests were not consistent with Concubine Zhang.

Because what Concubine Zhang represents is the interests of the Zhang family and the crown prince.

Now that the Zhang family has lost Zhang Jingyi, they have lost their backbone, and they cannot take any risks at this time.

On the other hand, it is a foregone conclusion that His Highness Changsheng ascended the throne.

For his mother, although she was just a concubine, and although Empress Zhang was not the biological mother of His Highness Changsheng, she was naturally the queen. At this time, it was impossible to let Concubine Zhang go against the queen mother.

Because she can tolerate and swallow her anger, as long as her children can be the emperor safely.

But once he participates in this situation of complete opposition, who can ensure that Empress Dowager Zhang will not take this opportunity to attract other vassal kings to the throne?

This is not without precedent. After all, His Highness Changsheng is too young.

Cui Chengxiu was anxious, so he anxiously said: "No matter what Concubine Zhang thinks, we can't sit still and wait for death. The empress dowager's meaning is very clear. Godfather... Do you still want to be lucky? At that time, I'm afraid that even if my godfather wants to guard the tomb, it's not possible. Let's start first, as long as we control the palace... Then, we can control the ministers. Those who are on both ends of the head and rat will naturally not dare to act rashly. Finally, we will ask Concubine Zhang to come forward to take charge of the overall situation. What's wrong with it?"

Wei Zhongxian frowned and said, "What's the difference between this and rebellion?"

He was obviously disgusted with Cui Chengxiu's words and couldn't help but scold: "Do you want us to be a traitor in the end? We have been loyal to the Emperor Daxing for the rest of our lives. Is it because we want us to disrupt the world now? Is it really a hurry to make a fuss, who knows what will happen?"

After hearing Wei Zhongxian's words, Cui Chengxiu couldn't help stamping her feet and said, "Godfather, godfather, now isn't the time to learn from Prince Yue, you must be in trouble and suffer from this principle. Don't you know this? "

Wei Zhongxian, who has always been known for his cruelty, sighed at this moment: "We are just a eunuch, what can we think? Now that the Emperor Daxing has passed away, we have seen his bones..."

Speaking of this, Wei Zhongxian's eyes were red, and then sighed: "This corpse has been burned to charcoal. At this time, the bones of the Emperor Daxing have not been cold. Now... they are determined not to cause trouble. We know your loyalty, but we should be patient now. Let's wait and see! It's just that His Majesty died in Liaodong this time, which is really strange. This matter must be investigated thoroughly."

When Choi Chengxiu heard this, she actually knew that everything was over.

He looked at Wei Zhongxian for a long time and finally smiled bitterly: "Godfather, you, my father and son have been taken care of for many years. I am the Minister of War. When my godfather was convicted of him, I am the same crime as my godson. Oh, I am the godson. Now that things are irreparable, I can't help but take care of myself."

After saying that, he bowed to Wei Zhongxian very seriously, and then said goodbye and left.

How could Wei Zhongxian not know that Cui Chengxiu is correct?

Your Majesty needs a nine thousand years old.

But Empress Dowager Zhang doesn't need a nine thousand years old.

However, he still had some fantasies in his heart, believing that as long as he showed some kindness at this time, Empress Dowager Zhang might plead with mercy on the old man in the palace and serve Emperor Daxing for the rest of his life. Perhaps he could let himself go to Nanjing, or to guard the tomb of Emperor Daxing.

At this moment, an eunuch hurriedly said, "Nine Thousand Years..."

Wei Zhongxian said coldly: "Don't call him Jiu Qiansui from now on, call him Eunuch Wei."

"Yes, Eunuch Wei." The little eunuch whispered: "The Empress Dowager is in Fengxian Hall, please come over."

Wei Zhongxian frowned slightly, and finally nodded, and took a deep breath in silence.

He hurried to Fengxian Hall.

In Fengxian Hall, there are spiritual thrones of emperors of various generations, and the spiritual thrones of emperors of Daxing have now been added.

In the middle of this hall is the coffin of the Emperor Daxing.

At this time, there were white curtains and banners everywhere. The eunuchs knelt on their sides and lying on one side and couldn't get up.

There are people coming to worship the nobles in the palace at any time.

At this time, in the side hall of Fengxian Hall.

Empress Dowager Zhang was sitting steadily on the chair in the side hall. She did not use any makeup, so she was already a little tired at this time, but her eyes were quite sharp.

Several eunuchs bent respectfully waiting.

Someone brought tea cups to Queen Mother Zhang.

As soon as Wei Zhongxian arrived.

Empress Dowager Zhang nodded and said, "You are here."

"Yes, I am here." Wei Zhongxian squeezed out a smile and said reluctantly: "The emperor's new mourning is a mourning empress."

"Ai family..." Empress Dowager Zhang paused and continued: "These days are the throne ceremony and the sacrifices of the emperor of the Great Travel. These arrangements are all busy inside and outside, but thank you for your hard work."

Wei Zhongxian said: "This is what a servant deserves."

"Your face is not good."

"I..." Wei Zhongxian lowered his eyebrows and looked willing to surrender, saying, "I am still good."

Empress Dowager Zhang took a sip of tea and stared at Wei Zhongxian, as if she was deeply afraid of Wei Zhongxian. However, she forced a smile and then said considerately: "If you are busy and unhappy, you can let the people below do it for you. Emperor Daxing dies. You are the confidant of Emperor Daxing. How could the Ai family not know that you have a deep affection with Emperor Daxing? At this time, Wei's partner must be very confused, so don't make mistakes in chaos."

Wei Zhongxian was speechless.

He seemed to understand some of the meaning of Queen Mother Zhang.

Although Wei Zhongxian hopes to show weakness.

But it doesn't mean he is a fool.

At this time, you still have to grasp what you should grasp. Only by grasping it can you have the capital to be qualified.

So Wei Zhongxian disagreed with the topic and said, "The Empress asked me to come, I don't know what to do?"

"There is such a thing. Here is a memorial sent by the Sili Supervisor..." Empress Dowager Zhang said slowly.

Wei Zhongxian was shocked when he heard that the Silijian sent it.

But soon, Wei Zhongxian's loss of composure tried his best to hide his past.

However, this scattered misconduct was captured by Empress Dowager Zhang, and Empress Dowager Zhang continued to observe Wei Zhongxian's reaction.

You should know that Wei Zhongxian is the master of the Silijian, and all memorials must be passed by him before they can be submitted to the palace.

But now... there is a memorial that has fallen into the hands of Queen Mother Zhang without going through Wei Zhongxian!

This shows that the originally solid Silijian should have been completely under the control of Wei Zhongxian, but now there are cracks. Some people colluded with Empress Dowager Zhang, and this person... has a certain status.

Wei Zhongxian suddenly became alert, but he still looked gentle with a gentle look on his face: "Oh? I wonder who was the memorial?"

Empress Dowager Zhang winked at the little eunuch beside her.

The little eunuch stepped forward and delivered a memorial to Wei Zhongxian.

Wei Zhongxian opened it and looked down, and his chest couldn't help but fluctuate.

In fact, with Wei Zhongxian's intelligence, he had just vaguely guessed the content of the memorial.

But...When the real content was placed in front of him, Wei Zhongxian felt a little relieved.

This memorial was the impeachment memorial of Qian Jiazheng, a tribute student in Jiaxing. The one who impeached Wei Zhongxian was the ten major crimes: one was with the emperor, two was contempt for the queen, three was disguised for military power, four was without two ancestors, five was defeated by the vassal kings, six were without saints, seven were more titles and rewards, eight were covered up border merits, nine were exploited by the people, and ten were transported together.

These ten major crimes can be said to be criticized very fiercely.

This almost slandered Wei Zhongxian to death.

Wei Zhongxian tried his best to show his relaxed appearance, and he flipped through the crimes one by one.

It's a joke that it's a parallel with the emperor. When the emperor was there, he didn't say anything. Now that the emperor has passed away, you are here to criticize us under this name.

As for despising the queen...

As for the power of war, this is even more ridiculous. The power of war was granted by Emperor Tianqi, and internal officials control the imperial guards. This is a common practice. Not playing tricks is called incompetence.

As for the absence of ancestors and clans, this is really unfair. No matter how stupid Wei Zhongxian is, he will not ignore the ancestors and clans of the Ming Dynasty.

This fifth article has reached a ridiculous level. Is this a crime to reduce the title of the vassal king?

The group of vassal kings has become increasingly large, creating a huge burden for the court. Now the court is in internal and external troubles, but the vassal kings are rich. Is this practice not good governance, but to reduce the burden on the people?

As for the saint who is not sage...well, he recognizes this, what does it have to do with him, a eunuch?

As for the excessive rewards, the concealment of border merits, the oppression of the people, etc....

Wei Zhongxian neither regarded this memorial as one thing, but was also extremely vigilant about this memorial.

The reason why I don't take it seriously is that this is a false charge. It is clearly pointing at Wei Zhongxian's nose and telling Wei Zhongxian that I'm here to punish you.

But it must be taken seriously. Wei Zhongxian understood that this memorial was deliberately used to humiliate him.

To the dignified Nine Thousand Years, a mere tribute student dared to submit a report and curse him. What an insult to Wei Zhongxian.

In other words, if it is true that it is a crime, Wei Zhongxian may not take it seriously.

But once... people are slandering, this is different.

After all, the powerful Wei Zhongxian was criticized by a scholar like a cat and a dog, pointing at his nose and cursing, as if he had the ability, he would beat me.

This... is clearly deliberately shaking his authority.

After reading it, Wei Zhongxian gently closed the memorial, and then looked up lightly, saying meaningfully: "What do you think of this memorial?"

Empress Dowager Zhang said: "The Ai family doesn't understand much about the matter outside the palace. After all, the Ai family is a wife, so I asked Wei's partner here to ask you what you think."
