Qian Qianyi paced back and forth in the backyard of Chen's mansion, waiting for his old friend to return with hope. His greed for power had reached a pathological level.

When Chen Zilong went out in the early morning, he could still pretend to be calm, but when he was nervous, his palms were sweating.

Less than an hour later, Chen Zilong's carriage returned home. Qian Qianyi immediately raised his face and admired the flowers in the yard.

Chen Zilong came in angrily and said, "Accept it, why are you still in the mood to enjoy the flowers here?"

Qian Qianyi's heart skipped a beat and it was a little cold, but he quickly hid his emotions and said, "This spring plum blossom blooms in the cold, which makes me feel ashamed. If everyone is like this cold plum blossom, our Ming Dynasty will definitely be able to revive."

Chen Zilong sighed and said, "You still have the leisure to do it. I went to the palace to tell Your Majesty about you, and Your Majesty was furious. Alas, although I am fighting for you, Your Majesty only cares about rewarding Hou Xuanyan, Li Haoxian and Zhu Dadian, and he doesn't care about us civil officials who have no military power. I think this emperor is another person who values ​​martial arts and neglects literature. It will sooner or later be in their hands."

After hearing this, Qian Qianyi felt as if his hope was completely shattered, but his face still looked open-minded: "I had expected that Your Majesty could not tolerate me. I took the wrong path myself and couldn't blame Your Majesty. But if he really indulged Hou Xuanyan, it would be a blessing for the Ming Dynasty."

A sound of footsteps came from afar. When he heard the rapid sound, he knew that it must be Huang Zongxi. Since he was castrated by Hou Xuan, Huang Zongxi's personality has become stranger and his temperament is even more urgent than before. He just needs to be at a glance.

Before the others arrived, they shouted outside the courtyard: "How is it? Are your Majesty willing to use it?"

When Chen Zilong saw him entering the yard, he spread his hands helplessly and shook his head.

"Did you not explain it clearly?"

Chen Zilong said everything he did in the hall, and Huang Zongxi stamped his feet and said, "Okay! Brother Chen is worthy of being loyal and pure. His words are worthy of his original intention. It's a pity that Your Majesty is confused. This has not encouraged the arrogance of the little monkey thief."

Although Qian Qianyi, who was standing aside, had long hated Zhu Youjian in his heart and said deliberately: "When Zi was determined to be Baohou Xuanyan today, I think no one in the world can cure him."

Huang Zongxi and Hou Xuanyan's rebellion again had a revenge, which can be said to be even deeper than killing him. He heard this, and thought that Hou Xuanyan was about to get married, he was even more jealous. He stomped his feet and said, "Lu Daqi has not arrived in Jinling yet. There are only a few people in the court. Your Majesty is foolish and favored by treacherous ministers. Sooner or later, the court will throw away half of the country."

After all, Zhu Youjian was still ruthless and refused to kill him. As soon as Chen Zilong arrived home, a young eunuch came to pass the order.

Chen Zilong cursed eunuchs in the palace, which was equivalent to cursing niggers in Africa and cursing prostitutes in brothels. The little eunuch listened carefully, and naturally had no good face to him. He declared the imperial edict with a stern face: "Chen Zilong lost his manners in front of the palace and offended the majesty of the monarch, which is a crime of deceiving the monarch. I remember your past achievements, without adding shackles, removed from office, and stayed in the capital for the use of the marquis of the capital."

When Chen Zilong heard this, he felt as if he was struck by lightning and stood there.

He never expected that Zhu Youjian would look so obedient and act so ruthless this time.

In fact, Zhu Youjian can tolerate anything else. This kind of thing has already made him hate it because of Su Guansheng. He also knew that his body would definitely not stand the number of Su Guansheng. If Chen Zilong was not severely punished today and other ministers followed suit, he would be really not far from death.

Chen Zilong didn't expect that he would hit the gun and suddenly lose his official position, which was difficult for a moment.

Seeing his appearance, the little eunuch was relieved and said in a strange voice: "Mr. Chen, oh, you are no longer an adult. Please forgive me for the mistake of the tongue. The surname Chen, we have finished reading the imperial edict. If you don't accept the imperial edict, are you going to resist the imperial edict?"

Chen Zilong has always looked down on eunuchs and has never been so angry, but he dared not really resist the order, so he had to endure humiliation and accept the order.

The little eunuch smiled sinisterly and said, "Our family's half-yin and half-yang preaching is over. We will not mingle with all the Yang people, so as not to absorb your yang energy and say goodbye."

Chen Zilong woke up from his dream and hurriedly said, "Stop! I want to go into the palace to see Your Majesty!"

The little eunuch curled his mouth and twisted his nose, and said, "Your Majesty is so angry that you are bedridden. Are you still unwilling to give up and insist on angering your king to death to be willing?"

Chen Zilong was furious and raised the flower hoe next to him and was about to take action. Xuan Zhi eunuch had guards around him, so he would not let him act violent when he saw this. He kicked Chen Zilong out with one kick.

Huang Zongxi hurriedly stepped forward and helped him up and said, "Don't be angry with such a person, you won't be able to downgrade yourself."

The little eunuch snorted coldly and walked out.

Qian Qianyi and Huang Zongxi helped Chen Zilong up on the ground, and the three of them were speechless. They wanted to ask for a high-ranking official for their old friend, but they didn't expect that they all became common people. Chen Zilong's inner depression can be imagined.

After a quarter of an hour, Huang Zongxi finally broke his silence and whispered: "The King of Tang was originally a far-fledged vassal, so how could he be an emperor? He is now incompetent and favored treacherous and slanderous. The Ming Dynasty is in danger."

Chen Zilong was shocked and hurriedly said, "How can you say this easily?"

Qian Qianyi's eyes lit up, as if he had seen hope of becoming an official again. Zhu Youjian's attitude had completely declared that as long as he was on the throne for one day, Qian Qianyi would never want to be an official. But if they supported the new king, it would be a huge sin and could also be in power in the court and the country.

Qian Qianyi lowered his voice and said, "If it was a peaceful and prosperous era, I would be happy to be idle and have no official positions. But now the country is in trouble and we must learn to adapt. Taichong said right, today is a far-reaching vassal, and he has no blood relatives with the late emperor, so he is not qualified to inherit the throne. It is entirely up to Zheng Zhilong, Fuzhou, to steal the throne. If you want to save the country and help the troubles, you must establish a new king."

Chen Zilong suddenly ascended the high position, and before he could stand up, he was beaten clean. This time he was not even the county magistrate, and the gap in his heart made him lose his mind. He made a fuss and said, "He is in middle age. Although he is in poor health, it is no problem to live for a few more years. How can we support the new monarch to ascend the throne when he is alive?"

Qian Qianyi smiled and said, "The grandfather of the imperial physician Li Yongyi in the palace was once a doctor in my house. Even the land under his name was rewarded by my family. I have something to say, but he dared not ignore it. Didn't the eunuch just now say, "Did Tang Fan be in bed and we have the final say what medicine he uses?" Qian Qianyi's Jiangnan power gave him the confidence to say this.

Chen Zilong wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked, "It's okay to do the secret of this matter. If someone knows it, that's..."

Qian Qianyi was confident and said, "Hou Xuanyan and His Majesty have long had a grudge in the Qiantang River. Hou Xuanyan condoned his personal soldiers and killed people in front of the palace. Who in the world knows that he has always been cheating and treacherous in his work. If we let go of the wind, we say that it was his evil move. Wouldn't it be a killing of two birds with one stone?"

Huang Zongxi stood up excitedly and clapped his hands and said, "This plan is great! The little monkey thief asked to transfer his two minions, Li Haoxian and Zhu Dadian to Yangzhou. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. As long as a surprise soldier arrives in Suzhou, he can eliminate traitors for the Ming Dynasty. If he misses this opportunity, it will be too late to regret it."
