Chapter 154
Worship Hall.
"Senior, I remember you said that the reason why my illness could not be cured was because of the backlash of the national destiny."
After learning about Wu Yu again, Zhu Youxiao thought about it and finally decided to come here to meet this person.
Yes, he had known about Wu Yu's fifth brother, the real Xin Wang, for a long time. After all, Lu Xiaofeng was originally a member of their royal family, and Lu Xiaofeng, who had contacted Wu Yu more than once, naturally did not dare to conceal such important information.
But he did not expect that his fifth brother had lost all his memories now. If it were not for Lu Xiaofeng's repeated confirmation, he would not dare to believe that it was his fifth brother, the real Xin Wang.
And since the real Xin Wang is someone else, then the current Xin Wang is naturally someone pretending to be someone else. Although he pretended very well, not only did he look exactly the same, but he was also very similar in every aspect, but he still underestimated the power of the Ming royal family. He was exposed on the first day he entered Xin Wang Mansion and pretended to be Xin Wang.
The reason why he was not dealt with before was just because he was worried about causing chaos in the court. After all, a prince of a country, the emperor's brother, could not be dealt with without a legitimate reason.
But now it is different. Since the real Prince Xin has appeared, there is no need to keep the fake Prince Xin.
"Yes, that's right!"
Seeing the other party asking, the middle-aged man could only repeat what he said before.
The reason why Zhu Youxiao's body did not recover after falling into the water was because he was attacked by the national destiny.
To borrow a Taoist saying, this is a Taoist injury. This kind of injury is useless even for him, not to mention him, even if the Great Luo Immortal came.
"What if I am not the emperor?"
When Zhu Youxiao said this, the person in front of him narrowed his eyes, "Of course it's okay, but are you really willing to give up the power in your hands?"
It's not that the middle-aged man doesn't believe Zhu Youxiao, it's really that his words are too incredible. This is the throne, an existence above millions of people, how could anyone really be willing to give it up?
Zhu Youxiao smiled bitterly, "I know my health well. If I continue like this, I can only hold on for another year or two at most. It's better to give up this position than to live like this.
Besides, the current situation of the Ming Dynasty must be clear to you. Even though I have tried my best to save it over the years, the world is still getting worse day by day, like the setting sun. No matter how hard I try, I can't change the fact that it is declining. Now I can stay in the Forbidden City every day to numb myself with carpentry.
Since my fifth brother has returned, there is no need for me to force myself. I believe he will do better than me.
Besides, I am tired. It's time to rest. Just like what I said at the beginning, I will sit in this position for a few years, and it will be his turn in a few years. Now it's time to fulfill my promise."
"Isn't the Queen pregnant again? Haven't you ever thought about passing the throne to him?"
Seeing that Zhu Youxiao didn't seem to be joking, the middle-aged man said puzzledly.
But Zhu Youxiao shook his head, "No need, not to mention whether the queen can successfully give birth to the heir this time, or die young like last time, this young ruler is not suitable for the current Ming Dynasty, so I think my fifth brother is the most suitable, of course, the most important thing is that the Ming Dynasty has no time.
My biggest wish in this life is to see the Ming Dynasty revival in my lifetime, but now I can't do it, so I can only hand over this mess to my fifth brother.
As for the agreement between the senior and the emperor grandfather in the past, if it is impossible, please turn to protect my fifth brother, after all, the rise and fall of a country cannot be changed by one or two people."
Zhu Youxiao looked at the middle-aged man in front of him and said sincerely.
It's strange, this person is right in front of him, but no matter how hard he tries, he can't see the true face of the person in front of him, as if there is a layer of fog covering him.
"Okay, I agree."
The middle-aged man agreed to Zhu Youxiao's request without hesitation.
In the past, their family had been cursed, and no martial arts talent had been born from generation to generation. It was not until decades ago that his father resolutely decided to join the Ming Dynasty royal family, and only then did he break the curse with the help of the country's luck.
As a deal, his family also had to do their best to protect the Ming Dynasty royal family and keep its bloodline.
After getting the consent of the person in front of him, Zhu Youxiao relaxed completely, and after performing a junior salute again, he withdrew.
"Wei Daban, go to the Xinwang Mansion!"
Zhu Youxiao, who came out again, immediately summoned Wei Zhongxian and ordered him. Unlike the person who went in, Zhu Youxiao was followed by an old man in a python robe. This was another worshiper he found after leaving the courtyard of the senior just now.
But this worshiper looked very old, and it seemed that he might die at any time.
"Xinwang Mansion!"
Wei Zhongxian was shocked. The first thing he thought of was the drowning incident a year ago, because apart from this incident, he really couldn't think of any other reason why Zhu Youxiao went to see Prince Xin at this time.
"Is the emperor going to take action against Prince Xin?"
Although he thought so in his heart, he didn't dare to ask more, because he knew what to ask and what not to ask.
"What a pity, all the efforts during this period have been wasted. Why is our life so miserable? "
Thinking of the goodwill Wei Zhongxian had shown to Prince Xin during this period, he suddenly felt depressed.
Although Prince Xin did not express his acceptance of his surrender, he always believed that sincerity would lead to success, and one day His Royal Highness Prince Xin would know his goodness.
It's a pity that it's too late to say anything now. If the emperor in front of him really intends to take action, then His Royal Highness Prince Xin will have no other choice but to submit to death.
As for the man next to Zhu Youxiao, Wei Zhongxian pretended not to see him from beginning to end, but he could roughly guess the other party's identity. He was nothing more than a royal family tribute and the foundation of the Ming Dynasty.
After Wei Zhongxian went down to make arrangements, Zhu Youxiao said to the tribute next to him: "Lu Gongfeng, I'll leave it to you later!"
Hearing Zhu Youxiao calling him, Lu Gongfeng quickly returned the greeting and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, as long as the old minister is here, no one can hurt you. "
Soon, Wei Zhongxian came back, and it wasn't just him, but also the other two supervisors Cao Zhengchun and Fang Zhenghua.
Having realized that something was wrong, he brought almost all the people he could from the East Factory. It can be said that this time the East Factory was out in full force, and even Wei Zhongxian himself brought the Sky Wrath Sword.
"Your Majesty, everything is ready!"
Zhu Youxiao nodded, "Thank you for your hard work!"
Wei Zhongxian cried out that he dared not to, "It's not hard, it's a blessing for me to work for you, Your Majesty."
"You old dog..., now that everything is ready, let's go! "
On the other hand, Cao Zhengchun, the second supervisor of the East Factory, looked at the harmonious relationship between the master and the servant, and his eyes were full of envy.
You should know that the title of "companion" is not a casual one. Only the eunuchs who have grown up with the emperor and are deeply trusted can be called "companion" or "big companion".
Although Wei Zhongxian did not grow up with the emperor, he has become the emperor's most trusted person because of Keshi's relationship.
Don't you see that even the first eunuch in public, Wang Tiqian, the eunuch in charge of the Silijian, does not have this honor. It can be said that the word "companion" belongs exclusively to Wei Zhongxian in the emperor's place.
What are these rootless people fighting for? Isn't it the emperor's trust? Only if the emperor trusts them can they have everything.
If one day the emperor does not trust , then there is no need for the emperor to speak, those who are trying their best to climb up can tear them apart and replace them in a minute.
Therefore, whenever Cao Zhengchun heard the emperor call Wei Zhongxian "big companion" or "companion", he wanted to replace Wei Zhongxian directly, not only for power, but also for the emperor's trust.
Of course, it is not ruled out that Wei Zhongxian can really do things, especially in the court, he killed the Donglin Party so many heads that even the so-called Donglin Six Gentlemen did not escape. If it were Cao Zhengchun, he would never be able to do such a thing, and of course he would not dare to do it.
On the other side, the third supervisor Fang Zhenghua seemed very calm, because compared with Cao Zhengchun, he had always placed his position very correctly, and it didn't matter whether he was a big companion or a small companion, as long as he could do things for the emperor, he would be satisfied.
