Chapter 391 The emperor can kill us with a single edict
"Your Majesty, the inner factory reported that Liu Zhengzong confessed in the East Factory. He colluded with the outer fan Abukui, and was instructed by the commander of the East Factory General Wei Eunuch."
Shortly after Zhu Youxiao returned to Qinzheng Hall after meeting Yuan Keli and others, Liu Ruoyu reported to him a report from the Inner Factory about the interrogation of Liu Zhengzong and other important criminals.
After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao glanced at Liu Ruoyu.
Liu Ruoyu's heart suddenly jumped up, and he didn't dare to look directly at Zhu Youxiao, and he replied tremblingly: "I dare not deceive the emperor. These are all handed over from below. I didn't add a word or a word. Please give me a clear explanation."
"What are you afraid of? The inner factory, the east factory, the Jinyiwei, and the mutual supervision is what I have approved. If Wei Zhongxian really makes friends with foreign ministers, you can report it in time. Not only will you not be wrong, but you will be rewarded."
As Zhu Youxiao said that, he ordered Wang Chengen beside him: "Please tell Wei Zhongxian."
...
"You mean, Liu Zhengzong insisted that our family was instructing him?"
After hearing Xu Xianchun's words, Wei Zhongxian took a sip of tea calmly.
Xu Xianchun said at a loss: "Yes, factory, no matter how we dealt with him, he would never give up. He said it was our Dongchang. The person you sent to instruct him. We asked who he sent, but he really issued his personal name. That person was indeed the banner school of my Dongchang, but he had already died suddenly before we were about to pass the question!"
"Who is so vicious? Not only did he reach my Dongchang Factory, but he also wanted to use the Dongchang Factory to arrest Abukui to give our family eye drops. He is a talent! It seems that over the years, Dongchang has begun to get mixed up due to the expansion of enrollment, giving these people the opportunity to cause trouble in secret."
After Wei Zhongxian said that, he stood up and said, "Xu Tongzhi, follow our family to enter the palace immediately!"
Xu Xianchun was stunned for a moment, thinking that if the emperor really felt that Wei Zhongxian colluded with foreign ministers and wanted to kill Wei Zhongxian, would he follow him into the palace to plead with mercy? Will he be regarded as an accomplice? If Wei Zhongxian doesn't plead with mercy? If Wei Zhongxian is fine, it's just that he has something to do.
Therefore, Xu Xianchun smiled and said, "Forget it, the lower officials will not enter the palace with you. The lower officials have something to do. Now they are just trying to judge Liu Zhengzong."
Wei Zhongxian glanced at Xu Xianchun, but did not expose his cautiousness, but shouted sternly: "As an inner minister in the brocade, when he learned about this important news, the inner court and the outer minister colluded with each other and conspired in secret, which obviously involved the safety of the emperor. If he did not report it immediately, what was his intention! Is there any consideration for the safety of the emperor?"
Wei Zhongxian's scolding woke Xu Xianchun up.
Xu Xianchun immediately got on the horse: "The emperor will enter the palace now!"
Xu Xianchun rode his horse and whipped it into the palace without waiting for Wei Zhongxian. He felt that Wei Zhongxian's reminder was right. When encountering such major events involving the inner court, he should be more panicked and go directly to report to the emperor, instead of reporting to Wei Zhongxian secretly. Otherwise, it would only make the emperor feel that Xu Xianchun was just Wei Zhongxian's person, not the emperor's person, which would undoubtedly affect his future career.
Wei Zhongxian was not angry when he saw Xu Xianchun leaving him and whipped away, but he just raised the corner of his mouth slightly.
At this time, a small servant beside him led the horse and said, "Father-in-law, your horse has arrived."
Wei Zhongxian said, "Take the horse back to the stable, and we are waiting for the emperor to announce the will!"
Wei Zhongxian just asked Xu Xianchun to enter the palace with him, but he was just talking to Xu Xianchun to test Xu Xianchun's heart. In fact, he had already guessed that the emperor would issue an order to see him.
Therefore, Wei Zhongxian decided to wait for the emperor's order here instead of rashly entering the palace, which made him panic.
Not long after, the ritual officials who came to announce the imperial edict to let Wei Zhongxian enter the palace came to Wei Zhongxian and announced the imperial edict to let him enter the palace to meet the saint.
Wei Zhongxian then entered the palace.
When Wei Zhongxian arrived at Zhu Youxiao, he saw that Xu Xianchun was already here and Liu Ruoyu was also here.
Wei Zhongxian was not surprised that Liu Ruoyu was here.
At this time, Zhu Youxiao looked at Wei Zhongxian and said, "Wei Zhongxian, do you know why I heard you?"
Wei Zhongxian replied: "I know."
Zhu Youxiao glanced at Xu Xianchun for this.
Xu Xianchun blushed at this time.
Zhu Youxiao was a little surprised to see Wei Zhongxian so calm, thinking that Wei Zhongxian was the nine thousand years old in history and was really calm when encountering things.
"It's good to know. I believe you won't do such a stupid thing, but Liu Zhengzong said it was your instructor, so I can't ignore it. It's related to the safety of the country. I will give you a month to prove your innocence. If you can't, you can ask yourself for your own guilt. I would rather believe that there is anything but not your fault!"
Zhu Youxiao was naturally sure that Wei Zhongxian would not really instruct any civil servants to come to his own hands to give advice.
He knew that Wei Zhongxian would not be so stupid, nor would he do anything to go against the emperor's will in order to make His Majesty give up the rule of severe punishment and law.
On the contrary, Zhu Youxiao felt that someone did this clearly wanted to take this opportunity to kick Wei Zhongxian out of the East Factory because he suspected Wei Zhongxian.
Zhu Youxiao didn't know who this person was, or whether he was the other inner court who wanted to replace him or the civil servants of the outer court.
But Zhu Youxiao knew that he could only continue to believe in Wei Zhongxian as the best way to deal with this matter.
Therefore, Zhu Youxiaohui said that he would give Wei Zhongxian a chance to prove his innocence.
"I, Emperor Xie, give me a chance to prove my innocence."
Wei Zhongxian said in a choked voice.
He had to be moved by the emperor's trust.
But Wei Zhongxian was also thinking in his heart: "It's true that his emperor is wise and will not be led by others easily."
In addition, Wei Zhongxian also admitted that the emperor's handling of this was indeed appropriate, and giving himself a chance to prove his innocence. It is not to say that he really had to deal with himself because he would rather believe in his existence than not, and to wrongly accuse himself.
This made Wei Zhongxian feel fortunate, glad that he had always performed well in front of the emperor, otherwise his emperor would kick himself out of the East Factory because he would rather believe in his existence than not.
However, Wei Zhongxian couldn't help but say in his heart: "Who is secretly damaging me!"
Wei Zhongxian glanced at Liu Ruoyu.
He felt that Liu Ruoyu was the one who might harm him in secret.
However, as a famous eunuch in history, Wei Zhongxian was naturally very smart, so through his own calculations, he secretly felt that Liu Ruoyu would not use such a highly purposeful trick.
"If I were Liu Ruoyu, if I wanted to be the first in the inner court, I would definitely not use any conspiracy, but would only use the most loyal heart to impress the emperor, because the emperor originally intended to let us check and balance each other. Therefore, no matter what seamless means we use to frame the other party, the emperor would favor the framed party. What kind of conspiracy would be seeking death in front of the emperor who could lose our heads with one edict!"
Wei Zhongxian thought to himself.
