The news that Wei Cheyu, the treacherous eunuch who had controlled the government for fifty years, was seriously ill and that medicine and medicine were ineffective, and his time was running out, suddenly spread in the harem and the court.
Both the court officials and the harem concubines expressed mixed emotions about the news.
Logically speaking, they should be excited.
Because Wei Cheyu was an eunuch, no matter whether he was a member of the royal family or a high-ranking official, he was subordinate to him and could only listen to his orders.
This is a humiliation for those of them with noble blood.
But it was such a eunuch who led them into an unprecedented prosperous dynasty.
The country is rich and no foreign enemies dare to invade. There has been no war since Wei Cheyu sent troops to suppress it with iron blood forty years ago.
The people live and work in peace and contentment, have enough food and clothing, and the whole country is prosperous.
This was something no emperor before had been able to do.
And such a person is ready to die...
In the prime minister's house.
"Prime Minister, do you need to send someone to gather his power?" The staff offered advice.
"How to close it? Do you think he didn't leave any backup plan?" the prime minister said angrily.
After being suppressed for decades, the Prime Minister dare not say that he understands Wei Cheyu 100%, but he also understands 80%. On the surface, Wei Cheyu is as gentle as jade, has a beautiful scenery, and seems to be easy to talk to. In fact, he is cunning, cruel, and will either die or be disabled as long as he does not follow his wishes.
This is a painful lesson learned by the Prime Minister who has been suppressed for decades, so it's not that he doesn't want to tighten it, but he doesn't dare to tighten it.
Wei Cheyu has already controlled the government affairs tightly. If he deliberately concealed it, the news of the limited time would not be spread. Therefore, it must be Wei Cheyu's intention. He deliberately wanted to see who was stupid and ready to take advantage of it while he was still alive. Clean up.
The Prime Minister said that he would not be fooled by this!
Prime Minister: "Don't take any action, and also warn the people below not to show any disrespect to Wei Cheyu, even secretly."
If Wei Cheyu, the big pervert, was so crazy that he wanted to find someone to be buried with him, he didn't want the people below him to be singled out for offending Wei Cheyu.
In the harem.
"The Queen Mother, I heard that that person is not ready anymore, why don't we take the opportunity to retaliate." A certain concubine suggested in a flattering way.
"Retaliation for what?"
"Revenge for the late emperor. He always had to succumb to that man while he was still alive, and he choked himself to death. As the late emperor's concubines, we cannot forget this revenge."
"Yes, how about you take the lead?" The queen mother glanced sideways at the concubine.
When the other party choked, she had no intention of taking action on her own. What she wanted to do was to encourage the Queen Mother to take action. It would be best to fight in such a way that both sides would suffer, and she would benefit from it.
The Queen Mother could guess what she was thinking, but regardless of whether she could guess it or not, the Queen Mother had no intention of taking revenge on Wei Cheyu for the late emperor.
Although it may seem humiliating to submit to an eunuch, but if everyone in the world is the same as him, then there is nothing to be humiliated about. After all, everyone is the same.
The most important thing is that the Queen Mother really feels that she is not too comfortable living under the control of the eunuch.
Ever since Wei Cheyu took over the imperial power, there has been no such thing as a draft. And she was the successor chosen by Wei Cheyu for the late emperor. The concubines who entered the palace before her had all offended Wei Cheyu for unknown reasons, so before she entered the palace, they had already waited for the late emperor underground, leaving her behind. The concubines below are all little transparent people with no fighting ability.
So from the moment she entered the palace, she was the most supreme woman in the harem, and there was no one like her. She did not need to fight for favor or fight in the palace. The son she gave birth to was directly selected by Wei Cheyu as the next heir to the throne. After the death of the previous emperor, After successfully becoming the emperor, she naturally became the queen mother that everyone liked (except Wei Cheyu).
If everyone didn't look like they hated Wei Cheyu, and as the Queen Mother, she couldn't be separated from the masses, she would have wanted to worship Wei Cheyu.
most important……
The Queen Mother thought of Wei Cheyu's face, which was over fifty but still beautiful...
With the intention of not being kind to outsiders, the Queen Mother warned: "No one should think of doing anything in my name. Don't think that if he is not there, he will have no backup plan."
In the palace.
"Sir, it's time to take medicine."
"Put it there."
In the splendid hall, Wei Cheyu was lying on the beauty couch, with his eyes closed. His jade-like facial features were as handsome as ordinary people. The tie on his chest was loose, revealing his white and thin chest and abdomen. He looked leisurely and at ease. If it weren't for his lips, The green color of his body exudes a sense of death, and he does not look like the rumored person who is terminally ill and has only a short time to live.
The servant didn't dare to look at her too much, so he put the medicinal soup on the table beside the couch, bowed his head and left in obedience.
Wei Cheyu did not take any medicine. This was a natural process of physiological decline for him. No matter how much medicine he drank, it would be useless.
Lying on the soft quilt, Wei Cheyu felt that he had nothing to regret in this life...
The great revenge has been avenged, covering the sky with one hand, and everyone who dislikes him or dislikes him is no longer alive.
There is nothing in this world that can make him remember and move him emotionally. Even the supreme power does not make him feel nostalgic.
He has long been tired of this world and has no desire to pursue immortality. He will make the entire dynasty prosper instead of destroying all lives just because he feels that making a dynasty prosperous is more challenging than destroying one.
Therefore, Wei Cheyu didn't feel much about his upcoming death. He quietly waited for that moment to arrive...
In the 20th year of Jiaqian's reign, Wei Cheyu, a traitorous minister of the generation, passed away, but no one knew where his body was buried.
