Emperor Chongzhen, who was only ten years old at the time, and a young eunuch who was less than ten years older than him, reached an agreement that was not humane to outsiders and established the trust of revolutionary friendship.
Wei Zhongxian's people did come quickly. Wei Zhongxian looked like my little ancestor, why did you run out alone? Take the little prince back to the palace quickly.
Wang Chengen followed behind without saying a word. When the little prince looked back at him, he smiled reassuringly at the little emperor.
Wei Zhongxian raised his eyebrows, as if he was surprised that Wang Chengen had gained the little prince's trust in such a short period of time, but this was a good thing for him and he was happy to see it happen.
From that day on, Wang Chengen struggled to survive between Wei Zhongxian and the little prince. On the one hand, he tried to help the little prince fight for some rights. On the other hand, he often asked the little prince to make some ridiculous and boring farces to reduce Wei Zhongxian's vigilance.
Heart.
The master and the servant worked hard and carefully under Wei Zhongxian's nose. The young prince also kept expressing his trust and dependence on Wei Zhongxian, asking him for advice on everything, which gave Wei Zhongxian a great sense of satisfaction, and gradually
It smoothed Wei Zhongxian's vigilance.
Wang Chengen returned to the mountain where his master and senior brother were buried. He looked around, closed his eyes and recalled everything that had happened over the years, and recalled the scenes from back then.
He still remembered how guilty the master was because the letter had killed his apprentices.
"Master, senior brother, what they want to protect is never the letter that can prove Wei Zhongxian's guilt. What they want to protect with their lives is just this family and the family members who have always taken care of them. That's all."
Originally, the master wanted all the disciples to leave. He wanted to stay alone to face this catastrophe. The senior brother had been with the master for so many years, so how could he not guess what the master was thinking. After several people discussed it, he simply entered after Wang Chengen and Lu Wenxuan.
After blowing up the entrance directly after the secret passage, what they left behind was not their responsibility to the people of the world, but their respect and love for the people in front of them.
It started to drizzle in the sky, just like that night six years ago, everything seemed to have happened yesterday.
"Master, in fact, the emperor is not as good as you think. Those are all superficial phenomena whitewashed by Wei Zhongxian. Even if the letter could be sent to the capital at that time, it might not have any impact on Wei Zhongxian. It would just be
That shameless county magistrate and that old thief Wei Zhongxian teamed up to get rid of you, the patron saint of Pingcheng."
"But it's different now. Please watch carefully from the sky."
In all these years, he has never tried to find Lu Wenxuan. He had the courage to plan how to overthrow Wei Zhongxian under his nose, but he did not have the courage to find his junior brother.
Even if he finds it, so what? He probably only has hatred and contempt for himself now. Tell him that he didn't kill the master himself, and everything he has believed in all these years is false?
Forget it, there is nothing to talk about in the past, so be it. As long as this thing is successful now, even if the junior brother really wants to kill him, it can be regarded as a kind of relief.
The emperor who ignored government affairs all day long fell ill. Before his death, Wei Zhongxian strongly recommended the sixteen-year-old King Xin to inherit the throne. The emperor, who had been confused for half his life, looked at his son who had hardly received any attention and had been left to fend for himself.
, I don’t know why, but I really passed the throne to King Xin Zhu Youjian.
Sixteen-year-old Zhu Youjian came to power and treated Wei Zhongxian with gratitude and respect. Everything was developing as he expected. Wei Zhongxian was very satisfied. His power would only grow in the future, and no one could stop him.
Wang Chengen has been quietly winning over civil servants on behalf of King Xin for many years. If they want to overthrow the mountain of Wei Zhongxian, they must find a mountain with an equally solid foundation. It is best to not deal with Wei Zhongxiang from the beginning. This is the case with the Donglin Party.
Naturally, he became their first ally.
With the help of allies, accumulation over and over again, and hard work year after year, Wei Zhongxian finally realized that the emperor in front of him was no longer the little prince he could shape and flatten, nor was he the one who always asked for his opinion.
By the time the weak believe in the King, it is already too late.
The emperor uprooted Wei Zhongxian's evil forces with thunderous force. The evidence listed was so detailed and specific that it was hard to believe that it was collected in a short period of time. At this point, Wei Zhongxian finally understood that from the beginning, the little emperor had been thinking
How to deal with him.
When he saw Wang Chengen standing next to the emperor with righteous words, Wei Zhongxian raised his eyebrows. It seemed that this boy had a share of the credit for defeating him. He was really an ignorant white-eyed wolf. Wei Zhongxian sneered.
Wang Chengen stood at the door of the death row, watching the people inside with a calm face. He was actually old. Without the gold and silver jewelry and the crowds around him, he was no different from any old man.
His mood was much calmer than he imagined. Perhaps he had waited for too long, and the fierce and surging anger at the beginning had slowly settled into a belief buried deep in his bones, supporting him through so many years.
When he saw the evidence that he had tampered with the river construction project in Pingcheng and killed dozens of people, Wei Zhongxian knew that this kid had been pretending to him for so many years.
That handwritten letter was fake, or at least not the only one.
"You have been working hard for so many years and being humble in front of your enemies. You are really amazing. For a little kid to be so scheming, even an old man like me is amazed."
Wang Chengen chuckled softly: "I am far less sinister and vicious than you. Over the years, whenever I close my eyes, I will see my master and senior brothers, and I want to kill you right away."
"So all these years you just want to take revenge on me?" Wei Zhongxian looked very calm.
"It's not revenge, you have to know, this is retribution, retribution for all the bad things you have done over the years." Wang Chengen stared at Wei Zhongxian coldly.
"Hahaha, retribution? You mean retribution? I will tell you what retribution is today. Do you think that taking me down today is something worthy of your happiness? You have no idea how cold-blooded and ruthless the person who became the emperor is, no matter what
You have done so much for him, and as long as you threaten his authority, he will not hesitate to get rid of you. This is retribution, hahaha."
"You can say this is my retribution, but I am asserting here today that this will also be your retribution in the future. Do you believe it?"
Wang Chengen looked calm: "I am different from you. After this matter is over, I will resign to His Majesty. I will leave the capital and live wherever I want. I will not threaten any authority of the Emperor, and naturally I will not
The retribution you mentioned, as for you, when you get down there, make amends to my master and senior brothers."
After Wang Chengen said that, he turned around and left, not wanting to stay for a second.
