Chapter 33-Success
"There's no zhenqi fluctuation in his body. His face is pale and weak. It's obvious that he's been drained by wine and sex.”Wei Zongxian was sitting on an armchair with a little servant girl kneeling beside him, gently massaging her leg. She did not bow and scrape like she did in the palace. Instead, she looked quite imposing.
His face was pale and he had no beard. Although he sat lazily, the glimmer in his eyes from time to time proved that this person was not easy to deal with.
Just like the other castrated dogs, Wei Zongxian gave off a vicious feeling.
He was like a venomous snake hidden in the gutter. If one was not careful, they would be devoured by him.
Zhu Zhang held a cup of fragrant tea in his hand.
After taking a sip, he placed the teacup on the tea table and smiled."I heard that the little Emperor recently took in a peerless beauty and sang every day, so sometimes even the morning court is called off. I was very curious. What kind of beauty could make the little Emperor so infatuated?”
Wei Zongxian frowned and said," I heard that she's a rough girl from Jianghu. She's quite pretty and knows how to behave. She's only been in the palace for a few days, but everyone inside and outside the palace says that she has a benevolent heart. The Empress Dowager was originally dissatisfied with her background, but now she's more satisfied…" Why did His Highness bother with her? If she achieved great things, the whole world would belong to His Highness, let alone a mere rude girl.!”
When Zhu Zhang heard that, he was instantly overjoyed.
He smiled and said," I don't have much prospects in this life. I only love two things. One is good wine, and the other is beautiful women. If I succeed, I'll have to rely on you in the government. As for me, I'll have to enjoy myself."”
He had given Wei Zongxian a bargaining chip.
When Wei Zongxian heard this, a greedy look appeared on his face.
A real man would rather live a thousand days less than have no power for a day.!
Originally, the Chief of Rites, the pen-wielding eunuch, had held great power, especially when the little Emperor had just ascended the throne. He could almost contend with the outer court.
However, as the little Emperor gradually grew up, many of the ceremonial director's powers were taken back into the hands of the little Emperor.
The more diligent the little Emperor was, the less power the ceremonial director had.
But how could Wei Zongxian, who had tasted power, let it go?!
Moreover, Yu Huatian and Liu Xi, these two scumbags, relied on Zhu Honghuan's favor and even climbed over Wei Zongxian's head to tyrannize. One had to know that these two people were once like ants in Wei Zongxian's eyes, so lowly that he didn't even bother to look at them.
Now, not only was he relying on the Emperor's favor to tyrannize, but he was also secretly investigating him, attempting to trip him up and climb up to the throne of the ceremonial supervisor.
This was what Wei Zongxian could not tolerate the most.
Thus, he appeared respectful on the surface, but he was secretly colluding with Zhu Zhang.
The reason why he chose Zhu Zhang was very simple. This fellow really did not have much ambition. He was just a waste with empty ambition.
Compared to Zhu Honghuan, who was wise, intelligent, and well-versed in the art of emperors, the difference was like heaven and earth.
However, for Wei Zongxian, the more useless the emperor was, the more power he had. He did not care if the Ming Dynasty would be in turmoil because of this. He only cared if the power in his hands would be eroded.
"How did Your Highness know that the little Emperor is a top expert?!”Suddenly, Wei Zongxian asked curiously.
Zhu Zhang put down his teacup and said," A few days ago, when Ye Gucheng was killing Tang Tianyi of the Tang Sect, a young swordsman suddenly appeared and blocked the poison of the Inescapable Net for everyone. Later, his attendant killed Tang Tianyi with one move. Some people say that the attendant looked burly and looked like Wang Haocang, the commander of the Imperial Army. That's why I asked my father-in-law to test the little emperor. Since there is no flow of Genuine Qi in the little Emperor's body, then that swordsman should not be him. Therefore, our plan can be carried out according to plan.”
Wei Zongxian nodded and said," The arrow is already on the bowstring and has to be fired. The little Emperor has already been tricked into transferring the Imperial Army away to suppress the Jianghu people, so it's the best time to start a rebellion. When that time comes, Ye Gucheng will enter the palace with a sword and kill the Emperor. We will then open the palace gates and His Highness will enter the palace with a gold medal and lead people to ascend the throne. This will create a fait accompli. The little Emperor has no children and Prince Yong is too young. As long as this is a fait accompli, the ministers will have no choice but to pinch their noses and accept it for the sake of the Ming Dynasty."”
Zhu Zhang laughed so hard that his mouth cracked open. He hurriedly cupped his hands and said,"This plan is foolproof. It's still the same sentence. If the great matter is accomplished, Eunuch Gong will have to work harder to look after the Great Ming Dynasty for me. I have been sullen for half my life, so I need to enjoy myself…"
Wei Zongxian gave a fake smile." Your Highness, enjoy yourself. I will look after the Ming Dynasty on your behalf. Nothing will go wrong."”
Zhu Zhang slapped the armrest of the armchair." Since that's the case, I'll leave the matters in the palace to you. In three days, everything will proceed according to plan."”
Wei Zongxian nodded slightly.
He actually knew that there were still flaws in this plan.
But how could there be a perfect plan in the world?!
Moreover, they had a great killer weapon, Ye Gucheng, who was a peerless master in the Xiantian Realm! One man and one sword could kill the entire palace. So what if the little Emperor had some martial arts? Could it be that he could fight with a Xiantian expert?!
As for the consecrators in the palace?
As long as they moved fast enough, those guardians would not have any time to react.
Therefore, a great matter could be accomplished!
Thinking that he would be in charge of the world in three days, Wei Zongxian could not help but tremble. His eyes were already burning with power and desire!!!
