Chapter 253 Uncontrollable Fear

(The third update is, please bookmark, recommend tickets, monthly tickets, of course, the most important ones, please subscribe~)

Zhu Xu's good mood was mostly reduced, and he waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, go back to the palace to sleep."

Cao Huachun and Cao Bianjiao had nothing to say, and led the guard Zhu Xu to the palace gate.

Wei Zhongxian stood there, looking at Zhu Xu's back, and said nothing for a long time.

Fu Yingxing, who was carrying the lantern, was puzzled and said, "Uncle, Master, is he really not worried at all?"

Wei Zhongxian had a cold expression and said indifferently: "This is not a problem for the emperor."

Fu Yingxing was even more confused and said, "Then, uncle, what are you doing when you come to see the emperor?"

Wei Zhongxian's eyes flashed and he said, "I'm worried that the emperor is impulsive and wants to kill him."

Since Zhu Di, there has been basically no incident of "massacrificing" court officials in the Ming Dynasty. But Fu Yingxing felt inexplicably cold when he heard Wei Zhongxian's words.

After Zhu Xu returned to the palace, he went straight to Jingyang Palace, and fell asleep without changing the washing.

In recent days, he has been exhausted and always feels exhausted.

He fell asleep, but Liu Shimin couldn't.

In his room, the light was lit, and his expression was confused.

Wang Wenyan made friends all over the world, but it was not just empty talk. Although Liu Shimin was an internal supervisor, he had no connection with the foreign court. Wang Wenyan was the most important person!

Wang Wenyan was born in a rampant and had chivalrous spirit. This kind of chivalrous spirit made him feel as if he was in the strange officialdom of the Ming Dynasty. He made friends with countless high-ranking officials and important officials, and even extended to the eunuchs!

Liu Shimin was in a daze. He owed Wang Wenyan an adult to ask Wang Wenyan for saving his mother's life!

In an era when filial piety was greater than heaven, Liu Shimin could hardly refuse Wang Wenyan!

"The dilemma of loyalty and filial piety..."

Liu Shimin whispered, his eyes full of helplessness.

"Eunuch Liu."

Suddenly, his door was knocked, and Cao Huachun's voice came.

Liu Shimin's face moved slightly and calmed down again. He stood up and opened the door.

Cao Huachun smiled, holding wine and a box in his hand, and said, "Eunuch Liu, I just passed by and saw the lights on in your door, so come and take a look."

Liu Shimin knew it very well, but Cao Huachun knew his whereabouts clearly, otherwise he would never have been able to pass by in the east and west.

He sighed in his heart, but he still smiled on his face, "It just so happened that I was worried that there was no one to drink with me, Eunuch Cao would like to ask me."

Cao Huachun entered the house with a smile and arranged the wine and food. After the two of them drank a few cups, Cao Huachun then said, "Eunuch Liu, I heard that he is still writing a book?"

Liu Shimin didn't drink much, and after drinking a few glasses, his face turned a little red. He heard this and said, "It's just to make Eunuch Cao laugh, just to write some trivial matters, and he can't be treated with great elegance."

Cao Huachun waved his hand and said, "You and I are both from the inner school. I know the talent of Eunuch Liu. If it weren't for this inner palace, it would be easy to be a Jinshi."

Liu Shimin was polite and shook his head, but knew that Cao Huachun was very good at poetry and painting, so the two of them talked about poetry, songs and essays with a little wine.

Cao Huachun is an eunuch in charge of seals and the chief lie sect, and Liu Shimin is an eunuch in charge of writing. Although Zhu Xu abolished the power of the Clerk to criticize the title of the Clerk and completely obsolete the Clerk, because Cao Huachun is always following Zhu Xu, the Clerk is basically in charge of the Clerk.

The two were colleagues, both in the Silijian, and were very close. With a drink, they became even more eager.

Halfway through the wine, Cao Huachun said, "Eunuch Liu, don't blame me for saying too much. We are the inner supervisor, but the emperor's eyes and ears and ears, and the person he trusts the most, and must not make rebellious actions."

Although he drank a lot, Liu Shimin was also awake. Knowing that this was the purpose of Cao Huachun coming today, he nodded and said, "Don't worry, Eunuch Cao, I know how to do it. No one knows, don't we know that the emperor is worried about the country and the people, and sleeps day and night, but the foreign court does not understand the emperor..."

Cao Huachun nodded secretly and said, "Drink, drink, and drink no matter what other things today..."

After Liu Shimin said this, he felt particularly relaxed. He picked up the wine glass and started drinking without any scruples.

In the warm cabinet of Jingyang Palace, Zhu Xu was lying on the bed, covered with a brocade quilt, sweating on her head, frowning, dry lips, undulating chest, breathing violently.

Suddenly, the quilt was lifted up, and Zhu Xu sat up, with a big drop of cold sweat on his head lowered, his eyes wide open, full of fear.

His mouth was dry and his eyes were wide open. It took him a long time to wipe his head suddenly and breathe a sigh of relief.

He lifted the quilt, walked out in his clothes, took a cup of tea, opened the window, looked at the stars in the sky, and looked calm.

In his dream, he dreamed that the Donglin Party succeeded and Zhu Youjian controlled all power. Within two years, Zhu Youjian asked someone to give him a glass of poisonous wine. The moment he was forced to drink it, what appeared in front of him was Ye Xianggao and others entering the pavilion to worship, but he vaguely heard the anxious shouts of "Ning Jin Fall" and "Shanhaiguan Crisis".

After drinking tea and calming down, Zhu Xu couldn't help but sigh: "No wonder the emperors have been alone since ancient times. Even if they are all under control, they can't help but worry and be afraid and can't sleep well..."

This was also the first time Zhu Xu noticed that he would be afraid and unable to sleep.

But then he smiled, looked up at the outside of the palace, and there were a few lights vaguely, and laughed softly: "It was indeed uneasy that night. Not only I can't sleep well..."

The next day, Zhu Xu slept in and only got up from the bed until Cao Huachun reported that Sun Chuanting had entered Beijing.

After washing up, Zhu Xu was energetic and said, "It's said that he entered the palace."

Zhu Xu wanted to meet Sun Chuanting, so the adults outside the palace were naturally not willing to be calm.

Zhao Nanxing gathered a group of people in Zhao's mansion, and made suggestions and made plans.

"Sir, I have made it clear to Shuntian Mansion that those with sixth grade or above will go outside the palace gate to wait."

"Sir, except Shangshu Fu, everyone else in the Ministry of Revenue has agreed."

"Sir, King Gui has agreed and will enter the palace together the day after tomorrow."

"Sir, the Central Army, that is, the patrol battalion, are also intimate. The British Duke nodded and will help us!"

...

Zhao Nanxing was extremely excited when he heard this. There was no organization for them to rescue Zhu Youxiao when they broke into the palace, and it was all based on righteous indignation. Now that his connections were far more powerful than before, he was confident that he would be able to force Zhu Xu to retreat to the inner palace and regent from King Youxin!

By that time, all their ideals will come true!

As for whether he would follow Zhang Juzheng's footsteps, he didn't care. The death of loyal ministers in the country's economy is the greatest honor!

Zhao Nanxing calculated silently, stood up for a while, with his hands behind his back, and said solemnly, "Everyone, the big thing is imminent, and the acquired thing will surely be recorded in history and will shine through the ages!"

This sentence is more effective than anything else. Civil officials, especially civil officials with ideals, all hope that there will be a heavy mark in historical books!

"Don't worry, sir, we swear to follow you to the death!"

"For the country and the country, we are willing to be heartbroken!"

"I will never regret it even if I die!"

"There is no fear in the sea of ​​swords and fire!"
