Back to Daming to be a genius

Chapter 369

(PS: Although the book is almost finished, I still ask for a monthly pass, which has already fallen out of the top [-].)
"Zhang Haogu! God kill you Zhang Haogu—!" Even though he knew that these memorials would not be of much use, after reading the memorial to impeach him with a large group of lackeys from the Gou Shao Party, Zhu Youjian still He was so angry that he tore up the memorial sent by Zhang Yan, and roared angrily: "Zhang Haogu, Wei Xie's number one running dog! If I don't kill this person, I won't be able to get rid of my hatred! If I don't kill this Little dog, even if you overthrow the old dog, it will be in vain!"

"Prince Xin, don't be angry. Don't get angry. Now I am the empress who is reviewing the memorial for the emperor. This memorial will not appear in front of the emperor." Eunuch is not from the same path, and has made countless contributions to the imperial court. We must treat such a rare talent with both civil and military skills with caution, and we cannot treat them in the same way as Wei Eunuch, let alone destroy the Great Wall by ourselves, so that foreign invaders of different races have an opportunity .”

"That's right, Zhang Haogu seems to be flattering and flattering, but he's actually very upright." Zhu Chunchen echoed, "The reason why he colluded so closely with Wei Zhongxian and even accepted Wei Zhongxian as his adoptive father is mainly to seek Wei Zhongxian's support. His support in the use of soldiers prevents him from leading troops outside, and others shoot sniper shots in the back, cutting off his food and reducing his salary, so he has to rely on Wei Zhongxian, a big backer. But the immoral things that Wei Zhongxian did, he is one He didn't participate in it, and he didn't help the evildoers." Speaking of this, Zhu Chunchen sighed, "But then again, even though Wei Laogou has everything wrong and wrong, there is absolutely nothing wrong with his full support for Zhang Haogu. Without the cooperation of their father and son, the rebellion in the northwest, the Jiannu in the northeast, and the Tatars in the grassland would not have been wiped out so quickly by Ming Dynasty."

"Since Zhu Guogong and Tai Kangbo said Zhang Haogu so well, why did he instruct his party members to submit this memorial?" Zhu Youjian asked unconvinced: "Could it be that the civil and military officials who jointly signed this memorial? Aren’t they all his lackeys and accomplices? Without his instigation and instigation, most of these Sesame and Mung Bean officials of the sixth and seventh ranks would have the courage to do so?”

"My lord, I know that you don't like Zhang Haogu, but you have to analyze calmly." Zhang Weixian, the old loach who had been silent for a long time, finally opened his mouth and said with a wry smile: "Don't even think about it. The people you arrested at noon, these officials will go to court in the afternoon." It’s only been a few hours since I impeached you? Zhang Hao Guyuan was in Liaodong, how could he receive the news in such a short period of time and issue an order for his faction officials to jointly impeach you? In my opinion, Zhang Hao People from the Gu faction really think that you have done too much, and they jointly impeached you out of anger, and there is no instigation or instigation by Zhang Haogu behind it."

"Indeed, in order to bring down Wei Xie this time, our methods are indeed a bit disgraceful, and it is normal to be accused by others." Zhang Guoji also smiled wryly, and said to himself: "But it's okay, the emperor is so sick and confused now. Yes, the old eunuch Wei was too sick to govern, Li Yongzhen was timid and did not dare to interfere, and the Empress and Ke Baba temporarily reached an alliance, and the memorials submitted by all the officials were all reviewed by the Empress. Otherwise, the usual , we would have killed ourselves by doing so.”

"From the very beginning, I objected to using such low-handed means to bring down Wei, but you all insisted on it, and said that there is no other way to drag Wei old dog into the water, so I had no choice but to agree." Zhu Chunchen said dissatisfiedly: "Now that the matter has been done, if you don't get scolded by others, there will really be no honest gentleman in this court."

Several giants of the royalist party refused to speak ill of Young Master Zhang for themselves. Instead, they vaguely accused themselves of being despicable and shameless. Some gloomy.Zhang Weixian observed Zhu Youjian's dissatisfaction, so he waved his hand to interrupt Zhu Chunchen's chatter, and said: "Believe in the lord, the old minister thinks it's better for us to act according to the original plan, first to defeat Wei and then to defeat customers, Zhang Haogu's faction People, let them scold if they scold, as long as Zhang Haogu doesn't come forward to sabotage our plan, we won't have any troubles. As for how to deal with Zhang Haogu after the success of overthrowing Wei, let's see the situation. Zhang Haogu is inseparable, and he has just made great contributions to exterminating slaves for the imperial court, so it is not the time to move him now."

"Okay, let Zhang Guogong arrange it." Zhu Youjian agreed sullenly, and said goodbye: "The two princes, Tai Kangbo, Xiao Wang has to go to Shuntian Mansion, and try to get from the mouth of the Dongchang fan tonight." Take out the confession we need, and leave." Zhang Weixian, Zhang Guoji, Zhu Chunchen and others did not hold back, but just told Zhu Youjian to be safe, and then sent Zhu Youjian out of the British government, watching him in Luo Daqian's army He returned to Shuntian Mansion under the strict protection of the government.

Looking at the back of Zhu Youjian's sedan chair leaving under the protection of the water transportation soldiers, Zhang Weixian felt a little uneasy, and couldn't help but asked Zhu Chunchen next to him in a low voice: "Mr. Zhu, have you noticed something strange? King Xin is back this time. It seems to be a little different from before. In the sixth year of Tianqi, you sent troops from the three major battalions of the capital to protect him overtly and secretly. This time, why did he insist on rejecting your army protection? Instead, he was not familiar with him. Water transportation army to protect his safety?"

"Maybe he thinks the troops of the three major battalions of the capital are not very useful." Zhu Chunchen blushed rarely, and said with some embarrassment: "The troops of the three major battalions of the capital have not seen blood for more than 100 years. In terms of combat effectiveness, it is true that even these guards The Cao Bing of the Cao Suppressing Bandits is not comparable."

"Is that true?" Zhang Weixian felt a little uneasy, and secretly said: "Even if the troops of the three major battalions of the capital are poor in combat effectiveness, when it comes to matters of life and death, it is better to use a reliable army than to use some unfamiliar troops. Right? And looking at the appearance of King Xin, it seems that he is more at ease with this water transport army. Could it be that Ni Hao and Luo Daqian are cronies trained by King Xin before? But why don’t I know about such a big move?” After thinking for a long time, Zhang Weixian Still can't find the reason, the immediate priority is to take advantage of the assassination of the eldest prince to bring down Wei Zhongxian, too much research on this issue may destroy the reservation plan, so Zhang Weixian can only put this issue aside for the time being, and treat Zhu Chunchen and Zhang Guoji with respect. He asked in a low voice, "Zhu Guogong, Tai Kangbo, we have quietly dropped the eldest prince a few years ago, you didn't tell King Xin?"

"You said that the fewer people who know about it, the better, so I don't." Zhu Chunchen replied with a shrug.Zhang Guoji also replied in a low voice: "I originally wanted to find a chance to tell King Xin, but after King Xin returned to Beijing this time, he didn't mention the eldest prince at all, so I didn't have time."

"It's fine if you don't have one." Zhang Weixian felt a little relieved, and said in a low voice: "Then you all have to remember that before you find out the real culprit of the eldest prince's assassination, you must not tell King Xin about it. It's not that you don't believe in Xin." Wang, I’m just afraid that Xin Wang accidentally leaked the news and caused a catastrophe.” Zhu Chunchen and Zhang Guoji agreed, but Zhang Weixian worriedly said: “Tai Kangbo, you have to explain the same to the empress, the empress is very sorry. Painful letter Wang, this little uncle, might have slipped his tongue."

………………

The tense night finally passed, and after a night of torture, Lin Wu, the Dongchang constable, finally couldn't bear Zhu Youjian's torture and the temptation of wealth and wealth, and brought out the confession urgently needed by Zhu Youjian and the royalists—that is, It was he who was instigated by Fan Yijun, the foreman of the East Factory, who was directly under his command, to use his relatives to get close to the eldest prince's nurse Lan Susu, kidnap Lan Susu's husband and only child and imprison him in Wei Liangqing's outer house. He threatened Lan Susu with his life as a hostage. After successfully assassinating the eldest prince Zhu Ciyan, Lan Susu's family was wiped out afterwards.And Lin Wu's more unlucky distant relative, Ma He, the old man who was panting for half his life, was also beaten into a trick. He confessed that he had provided help for the kidnapping of Lan Susu's family by the Dongchang Fan, and he had seen Lan Su with his own eyes. Su's family was secretly taken away by the East Factory.

After receiving these two confessions that were full of mistakes and far-fetched, Zhu Youjian was like a treasure, and hurried to Dongchang to arrest people with the confession, but what made Zhu Youjian furious was that Song Jin, who had been prepared for a long time, had put Two of Lin Wu's immediate superiors, Fan Yijun and Tang Chuan, were sent to Shanhaiguan, and all Lin Wu's companions were also sent to Shanhaiguan to assist the Ming army in escorting Yuan Chonghuan back to Beijing for trial.Moreover, these people have been riding fast horses for a day, and now it is too late to send fast horses to catch and chase them.In a fit of rage, Zhu Youjian almost wanted to arrest Song Jin who was smiling all over his face, and first gave Song Jin a high hat for deliberately covering up the suspect.But it is a pity that Zhu Chunchen and Zhang Guoji who came after hearing the news held Zhu Youjian tightly—what a joke, Song Jin is the brother of Young Master Zhang, and he is also the first lackey of Young Master Zhang in the palace and Dongchang. The importance is irreplaceable, if you catch him, won't you force Young Master Zhang and the Eunuch Party to join hands with Qing Jun?
"Believe in the prince, don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive!" Zhang Guoji held Zhu Youjian tightly, and said in a low voice: "We originally planted the spoil on purpose, and we planted this spoil on the head of Wei Xie's party members to drag Wei Xie Go into the water, but if you catch Song Jin and plant the booty on the head of Zhang Haogu's gangsters, not only may Zhang Haogu be angered, but Wei Xie will also be able to take the opportunity to escape and free up his hands to deal with us! The priority, believe me, you must divide it. Clear!"

"But Lin Wu's two bosses have already gone to Shanhaiguan, how can we drag Wei Yan into the water?" Zhu Youjian asked with a livid face.Zhang Guoji said in a low voice: "It's easy, just go back and ask Lin Wu to add something to the confession, saying that he and his two superiors are the executors, and the commander is their common direct superior, Dongchang, the criminal Sun Yunhe. Sun Yunhe has an average relationship with Zhang Haogu, and he is also a staunch henchman of Wei Yan. Please arrest him according to the law and will not anger Zhang Haogu. You can also use him to drag Wei Wei into the water, kill three birds with one stone, my trustworthy prince !"

In any case, Zhu Youjian finally took Cao Bing away amidst the ridicule of Dongchang Fan and Song Jin, and returned to Shuntian Mansion to torture his confession again.Fortunately, this time it went very smoothly. In line with the idea of ​​selling one boss, or selling two bosses, Lin Wu quickly recruited the name of Sun Yunhe, the prison manager of Dongchang, and Zhu Youjian quickly took this letter to complete it. It is a nonsense confession to enter the palace to ask for an order to arrest Sun Yunhe to cooperate with the investigation, and Ming Xizong, who is dying of illness, can't even be a director, and he doesn't even have the strength to ask whether this confession is true or not. Under the instigation of his joint efforts, he reluctantly nodded and agreed to Zhu Youjian's request.So, our unlucky Dongchang prison officer and one of the five eunuchs, Mr. Sun Yunhe, Mr. Sun, went to Shuntian Mansion Prison as a matter of course, and went to accompany his subordinate who couldn't even remember his name.

In just two days, two people were arrested in Dongchang one after another for being involved in the assassination of the eldest prince, but Wei Zhongxian couldn't even find a place to protest. In addition to jumping up and down to complain for Dongchang, most of the officials with better character were silent and did not dare to mix in, and those with worse character simply turned against each other and made trouble.Yang Suoxiu, the right deputy capital censor who was the first eunuch to defect in history, inherited his glorious mission, and was the first to impeach Wei Zhongxian's four lackeys in one breath, Cui Chengxiu, the left capital censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate Chen Yin, Shaoqing of Taipu Temple, Governor Zhu Tongmeng, Minister of Industry Li Yangde, the reason is that these four unfilial sons and grandchildren did not go home according to the rules in order to earn money in office when their parents passed away. Ding You stayed and continued to serve as officials. It is treacherous and evil, and unfilial to the extreme!

The first member of the eunuch party began to betray the water. Of course, such a good phenomenon should be greatly encouraged by the treacherous royalist party members. As a result, the four unlucky people impeached by Yang Suoxiu were all dismissed from their posts and went home to wear mourning hats except for Cui Chengxiu. ——It's not that Zhang Weixian, who came up with the idea, and Zhang Yan, who replaced the emperor, liked Cui Chengxiu, but that Cui Chengxiu's roots were too deep, and he was Wei Zhongxian's number one confidant in the court, so he had too much influence immediately.However, if this is the case, three or four of Wei Zhongxian's party members were eliminated at once, and Wei Zhongxian's prestige and authority were still severely hit. It also made things worse, criticizing Wei Zhongxian's big and small party members, and some people even took aim at Wei Zhongxian's own son, Young Master Zhang, and turned over many old accounts of Young Master Zhang to denounce—but such a villain was dismissed in the memorial. After being dismissed from office under the siege of the members of the Gou Shao Party, the denunciation against Young Master Zhang suddenly died down.Everyone is targeting one, Wei Zhongxian!
Some people want to say, since Zhang Yan and Ke Baba have joined forces and have already mastered the imperial power that can only be possessed by Ming Xizong, why didn't they just issue an imperial decree to kill the old eunuch Wei?In fact, Zhang Yan and Ke Baba really wanted to do this, but unfortunately, although Ming Xizong was seriously ill, he could recover his mind from time to time and ask about the situation. Without enough evidence, Zhang Yan and Ke Baba couldn't convince Ming Xizong To overthrow Wei, and at the same time, Wei Zhongxian has dominated the government over the years, his tree has deep roots, and he has huge support from inside and outside the palace. If he wants to overthrow him all at once, it will only be counterproductive, and it may force Wei Zhongxian to take risks—after all, Gongwei The guard of the imperial palace, General Han, is still under the control of Wei Zhongxian's henchmen. If Wei Zhongxian really went crazy recklessly, he would at least be able to fight with the royalist party to die together!Therefore, the royalist party and Zhu Youjian have the same idea, that is to pry open Sun Yunhe's mouth, put the shit pot of the eldest prince's assassination case on Wei Zhongxian's head completely, and let Ming Xizong make up his mind to overthrow Wei, so that it can be thoroughly Ultimately overthrow Wei Zhongxian.

Faced with such a bad situation and chaotic situation, Wei Zhongxian, who is good at tactics, of course refused to sit still. Apart from commanding the hardcore running dogs to fight back with all their strength, Wei Zhongxian still had two things to do. One was to make Sun Yunhe grit his teeth and stand up. Stop, buy time, and the second is to find ways to call back Young Master Zhang and the escort of the slave army as soon as possible.What made Wei Zhongxian a little relieved was that Sun Yunhe, the hardcore eunuch who had been vaccinated in advance by him, was very calm this time. Wei Zhongxian ordered his subordinates to assassinate the eldest prince, which bought Wei Zhongxian a lot of precious time.But on the point of how to transfer Young Master Zhang back, Wei Zhongxian was at a loss. Ming Xizong, who was seriously ill, could not leave the Qianqing Palace and could not go to the early court. All of Young Master Zhang's memorials fell into disarray again. It is not known whether they were burned by Zhang Yan or used by Ke Baba as wipes, but there was no response at all.In desperation, Wei Zhongxian even thought of risking his beheading to summon Young Master Zhang back to Beijing.

The house leak happened to be raining overnight, and when the eunuchs, which had a ray of life, were still struggling, something happened that made the members of the eunuchs completely lose their confidence and completely collapsed...

The incident happened on the sixth day of Sun Yunhe's unjust imprisonment. In the early morning of this day, Zhang Yan's personal eunuch Haizhen Haigong arrived at the Golden Luan Hall, and routinely announced that the emperor was sick and unable to go to court. Miraculously, Wei Zhongxian, who was able to go to the early dynasty of Mingxizong, was once again greatly disappointed, and cheekily came outside the Qianqing Palace again, and asked for an audience with Ke Baba and Zhang Yan, who were serving Hou Mingxizong's sick body.But holding on to his crutches, he waited for more than half an hour outside the snowy Qianqing Palace before the eunuch Hai Gonggong came out of the Qianqing Palace and said to Wei Zhongxian with a smile on his face: "Old Ancestor, I am really sorry, Your Majesty!" You have been sleeping all this time, and the Empress Fengsheng and the Empress asked you to go back first. When the emperor wakes up, the Empress Fengsheng and the Empress will pass on the message for you. If the emperor also summons you, I will send someone to your mansion to announce you Enter the palace."

After all, Haizhen bowed to Wei Zhongxian, turned his head and left - the empress and Mrs. Fengsheng have already said that after this matter is over, Eunuch Hai will be promoted to the supervisor of ceremonies, so Eunuch Hai does not want to be with him. Eunuch Wei is wordy.Wei Zhongxian was angry but didn't dare to explode, he could only plead: "Grandpa Hai, please tell the holy lady and empress empress one more time, and say that it doesn't matter if the slaves can talk to the emperor, as long as the slaves can look at the emperor. Or If the empress and the others don't want the servants to enter the Qianqing Palace to meet the emperor, then please ask any of them to come out and have a few words with the servants."

"Well, I will try it for my ancestors, but if it is successful, I really dare not bless my ancestors." Seeing the past affection, Eunuch Hai finally reluctantly agreed to Wei Zhongxian's request.Wei Zhongxian was overjoyed, and hurriedly replied: "Thank you, Eunuch Hai, thank you very much." As he spoke, Wei Zhongxian, who was bullied by dogs in Huluopingyang, took the initiative to stuff a pearl the size of a pigeon egg into Eunuch Hai's hand for the first time in many years.

In fact, Eunuch Hai did not lie to Wei Zhongxian, Ming Xizong, who was seriously ill, did not wake up all the time, but after Eunuch Hai conveyed Wei Zhongxian's request to Ke Baba and Zhang Yan, he had already received a secret promise from the royalist party to make his grandnephew the crown prince in the future. Baba immediately shouted: "Go out and tell that old dog to go away, the empress and I don't want to see him!" Eunuch Hai agreed, and was about to go out, but Zhang Yan smiled and said, "Wait, Mrs. Fengsheng, I think we should go see Eunuch Wei."

"What are you doing seeing him? He's old and ugly, what's the use?" Ke Baba asked angrily.Zhang Yan smiled like a flower, and said: "Brother Sheng, my concubine heard from the imperial doctor that Wei Gonggong suffered from wind-dizzy disease (high blood pressure), and the most important thing is not to get angry. Once the anger hits the chest, the condition will definitely worsen——Wei Gonggong Working hard for the country, so tired, how about we go and put out his fire?"

"Good idea!" What is the most poisonous woman's heart, Ke Baba and Zhang Yan are called the most poisonous woman's heart. Hearing Zhang Yan's words, the snake-hearted Ke Baba immediately applauded, "Go out and get angry with this old bastard. Frustrated at the end."

With a certain idea, Ke Baba and Zhang Yan joined forces and went out together to meet Wei Zhongxian outside the Qianqing Palace.And Wei Zhongxian, whose whole body was covered with snowflakes, finally saw Ke Baba and Zhang Yan, and immediately knelt down on his knees, crawled in front of Ke Baba and Zhang Yan, and began to cry loudly. But he didn't say a word, trying to impress his old lover and mistress with his old love.But it's a pity that no matter how miserable Wei Zhongxian was crying, Ke Baba and Zhang Yan just didn't say a word, and looked at Wei Zhongxian with smiles at the corners of their mouths, just like watching a monkey show.Finally, Wei Zhongxian, who realized that crying was useless, held back his tears, and then Zhang Yan asked with a smile, "Eunuch Wei, what's wrong with you? Looking at your body, it doesn't look like you are coming to say goodbye to us, right?"

"Stinky bitch, you wish I had died early!" Wei Zhongxian's chest was full of anger, but he didn't dare to show it on his face. He just wiped his tears and choked up and said, "Young lady, I just haven't seen the emperor for a long time, and I miss the holy car, so the servant It is so emotional, I hope that the empress can see the loyalty of the servant and let the servant meet the emperor. The servant..., even if he dies, he will rest in peace."

"The emperor said that you sent someone to kill his dragon son, so the emperor doesn't want to see you." Ke Baba's tone was much harsher than Zhang Yan's, and he didn't miss the old relationship with Wei Zhongxian at all.Wei Zhongxian was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly distinguished: "I have learned from the holy empress, I am not a slave, I am really not the first prince who my slave sent someone to kill!"

"Who are you? You still want to push it on my old lady?" Ke Baba asked like a machine gun: "Since it's not you, how can the people in Dongchang admit that it was your lackey Sun Yunhe who ordered them to do it? You are honest Tell me, Sun Yunhe's mastermind behind the scenes, is it you? How could you do such a thing? How can the emperor feel sorry for you? Are you worthy of the emperor? Are you worthy of the ancestors of Ming Dynasty? Are you worthy of me? You are worthy of... ?”

"You are wronged, you are wronged, your servant is wronged!" Wei Zhongxian couldn't argue with anything, he just kowtowed, and said in tears, "It's really not a servant! The servant did not do such a thing! Even if the servant had the guts of a leopard, he would not dare to send Someone assassinate the prince...!"

"Eunuch Wei, since you insisted that you didn't do it, who is the real murderer?" Zhang Yan looked forward, showing a charming smile, and asked, "Eunuch Wei will not say that the real behind-the-scenes The real culprit is Empress Fengsheng, right?"

"Who else but her?" Wei Zhongxian roared in his heart, and his thin body began to tremble.Ke Baba over there observed his words, and immediately pointed at Wei Zhongxian's nose and cursed, "Old thing, do you still want to plant it on my mother? My mother tells you the truth, if you dare to pour dirty water on my mother again, my mother will marry you!" This old dog is fighting!"

"No, no, I don't have one." Wei Zhongxian couldn't explain clearly, and now he understands what it means to be a woman and a villain.But Ke Baba slapped Wei Zhongxian on the face furiously, jumped up and scolded: "Old dog, how dare you say you don't have one? You sent someone to look at my husband, my son, not to find my mother What is the evidence for the assassination of the First Prince? A few days ago, your little boys Wei Liangqing and Fu Yingxing brought people to beat my son and forced my mother’s own son to confess that my mother killed the First Prince. How dare you say you didn’t? The eggless old dog, why is God so blind, won’t a thunder strike you to death?! The old man is about to lose his way, and wants your grandson to be the prince. You are daydreaming go!"

"What? Wei Liangqing and Fu Yingxing dare to do such a thing?" Wei Zhongxian was dizzy for a while, and only then did he know that his nephew and nephew had done this before, and then he understood why Kebaba's attitude towards him has become worse and worse these days.In anger, Wei Zhongxian wanted to strangle his nephew and nephew to death, "You two little monkeys, I'm almost finished now, and you still think I didn't die fast enough?"

"Fengsheng empress, empress empress, the emperor is awake." Fortunately, Eunuch Hai came out in time and interrupted Ke Baba's vixen cursing the street.Ke Baba stopped the scolding, and shouted: "Send someone to keep an eye on this old dog, and if he finds that he dares to enter the Qianqing Palace, he will be beaten out by the old lady immediately! If something happens, the old lady will bear it!" After finishing speaking, Ke Baba walked away, Zhang Yan, who had seen enough of the good show, wanted to follow in directly, but felt that it was not enough to relieve her anger, so she bent down and leaned closer to Wei Zhongxian's ear...

"Eunuch Wei, in fact..." Zhang Yan's pretty face was charming and charming, but the voice from her cherry lips was tinged with chill, and she said in a low, extremely vicious voice: "Actually, I know that you were wronged, Eldest Prince You didn't send someone to kill you, but I just wronged you and wanted to kill you! I also know that you want Zhang Haogu to come back to protect you, but I just won't let him come back. When you die, I will let him Come back to collect your corpse! Eunuch Wei, prepare for your funeral! Ha ha ha ha ha..."

Smiling coquettishly, Zhang Yan got up and left. The little eunuch guarding the gate of Qianqing Palace hurriedly closed the gate, leaving the tongue-tied Wei Zhongxian kneeling in the icy snow in a daze, his eyes staring straight.After half a stick of incense time, Wei Zhongxian, who was stunned, came back to his senses, opened his mouth to speak, but fell headfirst on the snow-covered marble floor, his teeth were closed tightly, his hands were clenched, his limbs twitched and convulsed, Foam gradually oozes from the corner of the mouth...

On January [-]rd, [-] AD, and on December [-]nd, the tenth year of the Ming Dynasty, Wei Zhongxian, an official of the first generation, suffered a stroke due to the aggravation of high blood pressure.On the afternoon of the same day, Empress Xizong Zhang Yan drafted an edict on behalf of Ming Xizong, removing Wei Zhongxian from all positions and letting Wei Zhongxian go home to recuperate.

In the middle of the night of the same day, the carrier pigeon sent the news to Shanhaiguan, and returned to Master Zhang after hearing the news. He vomited blood and fell to the ground. , from the heart, liver and intestines.
