Chapter 4: The righteousness of Zhu Youjian
Zhu Tianqi was thinking about it when he heard a young man's voice coming from outside the door: "My minister Zhu Youjian was ordered to meet him!"
So I took my thoughts back for a while and sat upright.
Zhang Yan heard the sound and went to open the door in person, leading Zhu Youjian into the palace, in front of Zhu Tianqi's dragon couch.
"My minister Zhu Youjian, pay homage to Your Majesty!"
Zhu Youjian was very surprised when he saw Zhu Tianqi, who was pale but had bright eyes. After all, when he entered the palace last time, he saw that his emperor brother was almost out of reach. He probably could count the remaining days with ten fingers. He didn't expect that he was so energetic now that he could sit up and talk.
"Fifth brother, don't be too polite!"
Zhu Tianqi also looked at the boy in front of him with some curiosity. After all, this person is still very famous in history and said that he is a boy because he is indeed only seventeen years old now, but he is not considered a child at the age of seventeen.
Although Zhu Youjian looks a little immature and is respectful and reasonable, through his eyes, it can be seen that he is a person who is far stronger than his appearance. He can be so diligent as an emperor. I think it is not bad to be a minister!
Zhu Tianqi pointed to the chair in front of the bed, "Sit down!"
Zhu Youjian gave a bow, then sat down carefully, looked at Zhu Tianqi, and did not dare to speak without authorization.
Zhu Tianqi did not go around the corner with Zhu Youjian and asked directly: "What do you think of Wei Zhongxian, what does the fifth brother think?"
Zhu Youjian was slightly stunned, not knowing how many circles he had turned in his mind, so he grinned and replied: "The factory man devoted his entire life to the Ming Dynasty and the country. He is a rare loyal minister. In addition to admiration, he only admires him!"
Zhu Tianqi couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and said in his heart: "This Zhu Youjian is indeed a smart person. It seems that it is not that easy to let him say what he is in his heart!"
Zhu Youjian saw that Zhu Tianqi suddenly laughed, and he was also very strange, so he couldn't help but feel even more confident, so he had to grin and laugh with Zhu Tianqi.
Zhu Tianqi could naturally see what Zhu Youjian was thinking. After all, he had just said to him ten days ago, "My brother should be Yao and Shun." It is estimated that he will not have a good time in the past ten days. Compared to the joy of inheriting the throne, he is probably more anxious and uneasy. Moreover, now that his illness has been cured, Zhu Youjian's situation is even more embarrassing!
I suddenly asked him what he thought of Wei Zhongxian, and I am afraid that the first thing he thought of was what Wei Zhongxian had slandered him that was unfavorable to him. I was looking for an excuse to ask him for a crime!
Zhu Tianqi couldn't help but sigh when he thought of this. Although Zhu Youxiao, the Emperor Xizong of Ming Dynasty, was a very nostalgic person and was not bad to his relatives. Unfortunately, he overly favored Wei Zhongxian and Keshi, which made even his younger brother Zhu Youjian dare not say a word about Wei Zhongxian and Keshi to him.
However, Zhu Youxiao is Zhu Youxiao, and Zhu Tianqi is Zhu Tianqi. He has no old relationship with Wei Zhongxian, an old castrator!
Seeing that Zhu Youjian did not dare to say what he said, Zhu Tianqi said directly: "Fifth brother, I know that I have always favored Wei Zhongxian, a traitor, and I am a little too confused. This time I have seriously ill, I have also figured out a lot of things. Although I am not a wise ruler, I can't watch the foundation of this ancestor be destroyed in my hands."
Speaking of this, Zhu Tianqi stopped talking first and looked at Zhu Youjian.
Zhu Youjian's expression is very wonderful now. He was unbelievable at his elder brother's transformation and was shocked, but he was more panicked than shock. Now it is obvious that his emperor brother is going to mess with Wei Zhongxian, but he just said that he admired Wei Zhongxian very much. I really don't know how to fulfill his words!
Zhu Tianqi looked at Zhu Youjian who was sweating profusely and couldn't help but smile: "Fifth brother, you don't have to be nervous, and you don't have to explain anything to me. I am brother and I, I still know your thoughts. No matter what, we are all a family. If you don't even want to meet me honestly, then who else can I trust?"
After hearing this, Zhu Youjian hurriedly knelt on the ground: "I am guilty, I am confused for a moment and talk nonsense, which has let Your Majesty down on me!"
Zhu Tianqi reached out and raised his palm at him, "Okay, get up quickly, why should my family be so disgusted!"
Then Zhu Youjian secretly wiped the sweat beads from his face and stood up.
Zhu Tianqi continued: "Now that Wei Zhongxian is powerful and the court is controlled by the eunuch party. If Wei eunuchs do not eliminate it, it will be difficult for the court to be cleared. If this continues, I am afraid that even this country will be taken away by this traitor!"
Speaking of this, Zhu Tianqi looked at Zhu Youjian, "Fifth brother, I came here to you this time just to ask you to help me do something. You are my younger brother and are a member of the Zhu family with me. Except for you, I can't trust others. I wonder if you are willing?"
After hearing this, Zhu Youjian did not hesitate at all this time. He immediately clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, I am willing to share your worries for you, go through fire and water, and be crushed to pieces, and I will never refuse!"
"Before I told you to do something, you agreed and you are not afraid..." Zhu Tianqi looked at Zhu Youjian with a smile.
However, when Zhu Youjian looked firm and did not show any fear, he spoke with righteousness: "Your Majesty is nothing more than asking me to deal with Wei Yan and his hawks. For the sake of our Ming Dynasty and for the foundation of our ancestors, I will never refuse to die!"
"Okay! This is my good man in Zhu family, my good brother!" Zhu Tianqi nodded and praised, and then comforted Zhu Youjian, "But you don't have to worry, fifth brother. Although Wei Yin is powerful, he is just relying on my favor for him. If I want to destroy him, he will have no choice but to die!"
Although Zhu Youjian looked at his elder brother with some admiration today, he still couldn't help but speak: "Your Majesty, Wei Yin is different from the past. If he said that he was a dog of His Majesty before, he has become a wolve now. If you want to get rid of him, Your Majesty should be very cautious!"
"You're right!" Zhu Tianqi nodded in deep thought, but then smiled, "But I am the true dragon emperor. No matter whether he is a wolf or a dog, in my eyes, he is like an ant. You just need to do it according to my instructions. Wei Yin will be eliminated, and the eunuch party will be eliminated!"
"I, wait for your Majesty to send you!" Zhu Youjian immediately bowed his fists.
Seeing that Zhu Youjian was still reliable, Zhu Tianqi immediately expressed his plan: "The eunuch party now holds military power, which is its biggest threat to our Ming Dynasty. Therefore, to eliminate Wei eunuch, the first step is to eliminate the Minister of War Cui Chengxiu!"
