"I, I was wrong. Husband, please spare me!”Ke Shi knelt down and begged for mercy with tears in her eyes.
Wei Zhongxian snorted." Watch your mouth. Don't say what you shouldn't!"”
After saying that, Wei Zhongxian hurried to the palace.
When he arrived at the palace, he knelt down and begged for forgiveness when he saw Wu Yunqing." Your Majesty, the Ke family has misbehaved. This old servant did not guard them strictly. This old servant is guilty!"”
"Hmph, you are indeed guilty!"
Wu Yunqing's words scared Wei Zhongxian so much that his body trembled.
"Old Wei, you are my humerus, I naturally believe you.
But you also have to understand what you should do and what you shouldn't do…
You should attack those who think they have no king or father, and those who take bribes and bend the law.
As for the rest, don't stretch out your hand, understand?”
Facing the Emperor, Wei Zhongxian trembled with fear and immediately agreed, feeling a little wronged.
If he didn't cultivate his followers, how could he fight against the Donglin Party?
If he didn't collect money wantonly, how could he give benefits to his subordinates? Without benefits, who would work for him?
However, he couldn't tell the Emperor about this, so he could only agree honestly. Fortunately, the Emperor didn't take back his power. It seemed that the Emperor was just warning him.
However, what was the Emperor referring to when he said that he would randomly stretch out his hands?
Just as she was thinking about it, the Emperor spoke again," The matter with the Ke family ends here. I won't pursue the matter in the past, but you know what to do in the future, right?”
After all, the Ke family had killed Zhu Youxiao's child, so Wu Yunqing did not feel deeply about it. Besides, if the Ke family had not killed Zhu Youxiao's child, Wu Yunqing would have let someone else's child become the crown prince...
Speaking of which, he still had to thank the Ke family!
Wei Zhongxian broke out in a cold sweat." I know!”
"By the way, how's the salary I asked you to raise?”Wu Yunqing asked.
" Your Majesty, we've already raised 6.2 million taels of silver," Wei Zhongxian said hurriedly.
Wu Yunqing nodded." Yes, Old Wei, you did a good job. Those aristocratic families and merchants only know their own families. They don't care about Big Ming at all.
Hmph, without Big Ming, would their assets be safe?
Alright, you still have to continue investigating this matter.”
After saying that, Wu Yunqing waved his hand and dismissed the other party.
Wei Zhongxian pondered what he should do in the future.
It seemed that His Majesty was very dissatisfied with the Ke family, or rather, Wei Zhongxian, for interfering in the matters of the inner palace.
In fact, Wei Zhongxian did not want to control the Emperor. He only wanted to have more power and not be restrained by others.
"Old Ancestor, please take care!" A eunuch saw Wei Zhongxian and quickly came over to greet him.
" Oh, it's Little Li," Wei Zhongxian said, then whispered," Go find me after you're off duty!"”
Li Chaoyin immediately nodded." Yes, Ancestor. I understand."”
Li Chaoyin and many others were Wei Zhongxian's underlings, and what happened today made them feel a little terrified.
At night, many eunuchs from the palace gathered in Wei Zhongxian's West Hall.、
These people all had different positions in the palace, such as the Imperial Steed Supervisor, Shangbao Supervisor, Imperial Supervisor, and so on.
"Ancestor, His Majesty has driven away Madam Fengsheng. I heard that he wants Empress Zhang to tidy up the inner palace.”
Li Chaoyin was the first to speak. He was the Imperial Junior Supervisor, a position that Wei Zhongxian had promoted and was a direct descendant of Wei Zhongxian.
The others also nodded." Yes, Ancestor, what should we do in the future?"
Wei Zhongxian was calm and collected. He swept his gaze over everyone, and everyone shut up.
"Hmph, what are you all arguing about? His Majesty naturally has his reasons.
You have to understand that we are all His Majesty's servants. We have to be loyal to His Majesty.
Since His Majesty is not satisfied, all of you should behave yourselves during this period of time. Don't look for trouble for no reason, understand?”
" Yes, we will follow the orders of our ancestor." Those people quickly and respectfully agreed.
He then told them about what had happened in the palace, and Wei Zhongxian waved them away.
Although Wu Yunqing wanted to govern the palace, he still had to appease Wei Zhongxian. After all, this guy was his biggest pawn and had great value.
"Xiaode Zi, go and inform them that zhen has morning court tomorrow!”
Wu Yunqing said. The young eunuch beside him was a little stunned and suspected that he had heard wrong.
Wu Yunqing kicked him and scolded," Bastard, did you not hear what I said?”
Only then did Xiao Dezi react." Hey, hey, this servant understands. I'll go inform them now!”
" You don't have good eyesight," Wu Yunqing muttered. What's wrong with me going to court? It's as if the sun has risen from the west.
"What emperor is going to court? Did I hear wrongly?”Shi Tianlai's eyes widened.
Grand Secretary Huang Liji and Zhang Ruitu could not believe it either." Well, it's probably true. Anyway, that's what the chamberlain said just now.
Let's think about what we're going to say tomorrow!”
