Wei Chengyun, the eunuch of the Supervisor of Ceremonies, was in a small room next to Donghua Gate. He was sleeping in a daze, hugging the bed and quilt, and still dreaming about spring and autumn dreams.
In the dream, he went up and inherited the 9,900-year-old position of his god-grandfather Wei Zhongxian. He also became a man who overshadowed the sky and became the most relied-upon of the young emperor Chongzhen... This But you will get whatever you want, and whoever wants to be unlucky will be unlucky. When the little eunuch below saw him, he would call him "ancestor, grandpa, nine thousand nine hundred years old". His majesty was gone!
Just when he was looking beautiful, the mountain suddenly started to shake. With this shake, he woke up from his dream. When he opened his eyelids, he saw a disheveled beard and a face full of flesh. A pair of copper bell-like eyes were looking at him fiercely. .
It turned out that it was this vicious man with yellow face and beard who was shaking him vigorously. When he saw that he was awake, the man stopped shaking him. He threw him away and turned around and shouted: "Long live this little thief!"
Long live the Lord? Little thief... Wei Chengyun was stunned!
Why is Long Live Lord here? What is he here for? Isn't this Donghua Gate? Long live the Lord is leaving the palace?
And...who is the little thief? This is the Forbidden City! Could it be that the Forbidden City was invaded?
"What's this little thief's name?"
When Wei Chengyun was confused, Zhu Youjian had already spoken.
"Long live my lord, this little thief's name is Wei Chengyun, and he is the grandson of Wei Ni!" The person who answered the question was Xu Yingyuan. This eunuch, the eunuch Bingbi, did not bring a pen today. Standing next to Zhu Youjian, he looked loyal.
In fact, he still felt a little guilty... It was not that he was worried that the soldiers of the third battalion of Yumajian did not love gold and did not dare to follow Zhu Youjian to kill thieves - after all, gold is easy to get and kill thieves, Yumajian As long as the soldiers of the third battalion are not stupid, they will definitely follow Long Live Lord.
But Xu Yingyuan was still worried that his group would not be able to enter the gate of the Royal Horse Supervisor Barracks. The military camp of the Royal Horse Supervisor is outside the Forbidden City and within the Imperial City. It is located in the northeast corner of the Imperial City and east of Longevity Mountain. It's not far from Donghua Gate and Xuanwu Gate. To be exaggerated, as soon as you leave the camp gate, you'll be at the door of the emperor's home. Although they are minions of the royal family, they are still thousands of men armed with sharp blades. Once they go crazy, it will really cause disaster!
Therefore, the camp rules of the third camp of Yumajian are very strict. Anyone who is on duty in the camp is not allowed to leave the camp without orders. Moreover, the gates of the camp are held by the eunuchs of Yumajian, making it difficult to enter and exit during the day, let alone late at night. Although Zhu Youjian had a Royal Horse Supervisor and the eunuch Shang Fuming here, theoretically he could use the emperor's handwriting to call the gate of the Royal Horse Supervisor's camp to be opened. But this is a new official, and the people below may not know him!
Moreover, Wei Zhongxian will most likely ask Tu Wenfu, the eunuch in charge of the Royal Horse Supervisor, to pay close attention to Shang Fuming. In the middle of the night, the eunuch guarding the door of the Royal Horse Supervisor may not open the door to Shang Fuming!
Just when Xu Yingyuan was uneasy, Zhu Youjian and his party were blocked by a few sleepy little eunuchs inside Donghua Gate. Zhu Youjian was also unambiguous and immediately asked three loyal men to go up and get the person! These three are all loyal men who have killed the Tatars. They are simply killing chickens with a sledgehammer against these eunuchs! Oh, there's no need to kill, just show the knife, scream twice, and everyone will kneel down.
Then Xu Yingyuan went up and asked a few questions, and a young eunuch sold Wei Zhongxian's godson!
This godson of Wei Zhongxian was the eunuch of the Supervisor of Ceremonies. Although he was not a big official, he was Wei Zhongxian's confidant. He often helped him run errands and he was very familiar with him. If he had led the way, he would have been able to enter through the gate of the Third Battalion of Yumajian... So Zhu Youjian immediately led his men to arrest Wei Chengyun.
"Hmph!" Zhu Youjian's face darkened, "It turns out he is Wei Ni's grandson... Stay away and kill him!"
The vicious man with yellow face and curly beard immediately responded: "I obey the order!"
Then there was a "choking" sound, and a bright knife was pulled out!
Seeing the knife, Wei Chengyun was so frightened that his face turned pale. He collapsed on the ground and begged repeatedly: "Spare your life, spare your life, don't kill me... Spare your life!"
The yellow-faced man, Huang Degong, grabbed Wei Chengyun and dragged him out of the door. When he heard begging for mercy, he laughed and said: "Hey, why are you so afraid of death, you coward? You are not like the rebellious one like you. Grandpa!"
What? Treason? Wei Chengyun was already scared to death, but now he was scared to death when he heard that Wei Zhongxian was plotting rebellion.
Although he is "about to die", he is not dead after all, and he is still trying to survive.
When he was dragged out of the house, he also saw Zhu Youjian with a murderous look on his face. The young emperor was seen standing upright in the courtyard, dressed in filial robes and with a long sword hanging from his waist. Surrounded by dozens of eunuchs and guards also wearing mourning clothes, carrying swords and lanterns.
"Long live my life, please forgive me!" Wei Chengyun was able to curry favor with Wei Zhongxian, and of course he was a very clever master. When he saw Zhu Youjian, he immediately shouted for mercy.
Zhu Youjian snorted: "Now you, the traitor, know how to beg for mercy? Why didn't you know when you followed Wei Tong to rebel? Now the British soldiers have arrived at Dong'anmen... You, the traitor, don't know how to die?" , you actually led the Jing army to guard Donghua Gate and refused to let me out. Are you trying to delay the time until Wei Ni’s Jing army comes to kill the king and usurp the throne?"
What? The British soldiers arrived... Wei Chengyun was so frightened that he almost died! He is Wei Zhongxian's god-grandson. Of course he knows that the British Duke is against Wei Zhongxian, and he also knows that the Jing army cannot defeat the Beijing camp!
Wei Zhongxian's power ultimately comes from the emperor! If the emperor and the nobles who control the capital camp join forces, Wei Zhongxian will have no power left to resist.
Moreover...even if Wei Zhongxian's army can reach Donghua Gate now, it is too late.
Because once the Beijing camp is launched, where will there be time for good?
Moreover, the surroundings were quiet, and there was no movement of the Pure Army approaching... This meant that the 9,900-year-old men and horses had not mobilized at all!
"Long live for your life, long live for your life, I am really not Wei Ni's best friend!" Wei Chengyun still wanted to live, and he was not willing to let go of even a glimmer of hope.
"The younger one is not Wei Zhongxian's biological grandson. The younger one was forced..." This Wei Chengyun's desire to survive is also strong enough.
"Really?" Zhu Youjian said with a serious face, "Are you really not Wei Zhongxian's grandson?"
"No, no..." Wei Chengyun shook his head repeatedly, "Wei Ni is an eunuch! He doesn't even have an egg, how can he have a son? How can he have a grandson without a son? Long live my lord, my surname is Li, because After entering the palace, he became Wei Ni's godson, and then he was forced to become Wei Ni's godson!
The young one is loyal to Ming Dynasty and Long Live Lord..."
Zhu Youjian frowned slightly, "Really? Are you really loyal to Daming?"
"really......"
"How to prove it?" Zhu Youjian asked again.
prove?
Wei Chengyun was a little dumbfounded. How to prove this? You can't take out your heart and show it to Lord Long Live, right?
"Long live my lord," said the eunuch Shang Fuming of the Imperial Horse Guard, "Why don't we let this kid perform meritorious deeds and prove his loyalty!"
"How can you take advantage of your crime and make meritorious service?" Zhu You asked.
"You can ask him and his slave to open the door of the Royal Horse Prison's camp!" Shang Fuming suggested, "As long as he can enter the gate of the Royal Horse Prison, my slave will definitely be able to bring this elite soldier to His Majesty's side!"
Zhu Youjian turned to look at Wei Chengyun, "Are you willing?"
"Yes, yes!" Of course Wei Chengyun is willing!
If he is not willing to die immediately, if he is willing, he might be able to switch to the Ming Dynasty... He is really not Wei Zhongxian's biological grandson, and he is not lying about this, and he has family to take care of, so he can't die like this Got it!
"Okay!" Zhu Youjian nodded, "Then lead the way and take us to the Royal Horse Supervisor Camp!"
"Okay, little one, lead the way, little one, lead the way!" Wei Chengyun breathed a sigh of relief. He immediately began to work hard and took Zhu Youjian and others out of Donghua Gate, along the moat of the Forbidden City, and walked all the way to the Royal Horse Supervisor Camp.
