Chapter 561
At night, Jinyu Alley, Wei Zhongxian's mansion.

Inside the hall, Zhu Zhuzhu is painted with gold and luxuriously decorated.There are also countless rare treasures placed in random order, which is amazing.

On the chief seat, Wei Zhongxian looked at the minutes of the treasure ship supervision in his hand, closed the booklet after a long while, raised his eyes to Guo Zhen who was standing respectfully under his seat, and said slowly: "Guo Zhen, you have done something. Good thing."

"I did this for my own protection. Although it was indeed signed and stamped by me, I never thought that they would make such a big move, and the emperor would fall seriously ill! No, Xinwang and his group have already seen their purpose. When I arrived, I wanted to kill me, but I escaped swiftly, so I came here to ask for shelter!" Guo Zhen had a look of panic.

Wei Zhongxian stared at him sternly: "You neglected your duties and indirectly caused the emperor to be seriously ill in bed. This alone is enough to put him to death. Why do you think I will protect you!"

Guo Zhen fell to his knees in a hurry, and begged loudly: "This...Mr. Factory, I really didn't know that things would turn out like this. I...you can do whatever you want me to do, as long as it can save my life! Mr. Factory, Please! I beg you to have mercy!"

Wei Zhongxian didn't say a word, just stared at Guo Zhen, who was kneeling on the ground, and let the other party beg hard, until the other party's head was almost broken, and then slowly said: "Okay, if you knock down again, I will be dirty." floor tiles."

"Master..." Guo Zhen raised his head and looked at him expectantly.

Wei Zhongxian leaned down, his eyes were like torches, very old-fashioned, he looked back and forth on Guo Zhen's face, as if trying to penetrate his mind.

Guo Zhen didn't dodge at all, and just let the other party look at him like this.He also worked as an eunuch in the palace for several years, and he has already learned to cover up his thoughts, and what he said is half-truth, half-false, and he is not afraid that the other party will see any flaws.

After a while, Wei Zhongxian straightened up. After some observation, he believed Guo Zhen's words.

"Guo Zhen, it's fine if you want me to save you, but you have to promise me one thing."

Guo Zhen was delighted and excited and said: "As long as the factory owner is willing to save the villain's life, let alone one thing, I will agree to ten or hundreds of things! From now on, you will be my reborn parents. Half of my life is only for you!"

Wei Zhongxian smiled with satisfaction: "Very well, you stay with me first, and when the matter is over, I will guarantee that you will still be the eunuch with the palm seal of the internal official supervisor."

"Thank you, Mr. Factory!" Guo Zhen kowtowed deeply.

After asking his servants to take Guo Zhen away, Wei Zhongxian sat on a chair, looked at the red sandalwood carved screen at the door, and only after a while did he reveal a silent and smug smile.

"Little baby, I was thinking deeply. I said that the emperor fell into the water in a strange way. I didn't expect that you were behind the scenes. You pretended to be cowardly and cowardly. Since you want to sit on the throne so much, I will help you." .”

Two days later, Wei Zhongxian made an appointment to see Xin Wang Zhu Youjian, and the two sides quickly negotiated.After Zhu Youjian inherited the throne, Wei Zhongxian had to be consulted on all matters of the court, and Wei Zhongxian's status and favor remained unchanged.

That night, Zhu Youjian summoned Zhang Jin and Lu Wenzhao.

Zhu Youjian briefly explained the progress of the plan: "Guo Zhen has already gained the trust of Wei Zhongxian, and Wei Zhongxian also asked me to beat me up, and promised to help me to the top. Everything is proceeding according to the plan."

Lu Wenzhao also said: "Although Guo Zhen was put under semi-house arrest by Wei Zhongxian, his confidant eunuch still allowed us to complete all the preparations for the day of enthronement."

"Very good, Zhang Jin, do you have any questions?" Zhu Youjian said.

"No more." Zhang Jin shook his head. In fact, he didn't quite understand why Zhu Youjian gave Wei Zhongxian his handle.

"If there is nothing else, then let's stop here tonight." Zhu Youjian waved his hand and was about to get up and leave.

But Zhang Jin stopped him: "There is something I don't quite understand, can I ask Your Highness to clarify?"

"What's the matter?" Zhu Youjian was a little surprised.

Zhang Jin expressed his doubts. If Zhu Youjian in the movie revealed the matter to Wei Zhongxian in order to kill people with a knife, all those who knew the news would be silenced.So now there is no need to silence him, wouldn't Wei Zhongxian become more vigilant towards him by taking the initiative to reveal this secret?
Once Wei Zhongxian becomes vigilant, it will take a lot of effort to eradicate the eunuchs.

After listening to his question, Zhu Youjian couldn't help laughing: "I thought it was some kind of problem, but it turned out to be this matter. It's very simple. Instead of keeping this secret, it's better to announce it. The more people know, the more secret it will be." It’s a secret again. Since it’s not a secret, then there will be no threat to us at that time.”

"But once this secret is revealed, it will deal a great blow to your reputation, Your Highness."

"Whether it will be a big blow to reputation depends on who made the secret public. From Wei Zhongxian's mouth, how many people in the world do you think will believe it?" Zhu Youjian looked like he was in control, "Zhang Jin, if you can really do what you said, then I will be a sage and virtuous monarch with great luck. Do you think people in the world believe in me or in Wei Zhongxian?"

Zhang Jin was silent after hearing these words.

Zhu Youjian's thinking is actually similar to that of Internet media control in later generations. Most people only want to believe the truth they want to see. As for the real truth, they don't care about it. They just need an outlet for negative emotions.

This is still the case in the era when the wisdom of the people was opened up like later generations, let alone the Ming Dynasty where most of them are in the ignorance now.

The so-called people's hearts, six words, live, live well.

Is it easier for the authoritarian eunuch to win the hearts of the people, or the sage Deming sent by heaven is easier to win the hearts of the people.The former has proved that the eunuch's dictatorship has collapsed, while the latter sounds more hopeful and longing for the future.

Sit down!

"What do you think of my plan?" Zhu Youjian asked Zhang Jin.

Zhang Jin could only sigh with emotion: "Your Highness is very thoughtful, which is admirable."

At the same time, he also breathed a sigh of relief.From this point of view, by helping Zhu Youjian get rid of those politically immature thoughts, strengthen his will to reform, and improve his reform line, he may really be able to complete the ultimate challenge.

Time flies, a few days later, the capital.

The former emperor suddenly collapsed and returned to the Five Elements. I follow the will of Emperor Daxing to enter Fengzong. The civil and military officials inside and outside, as well as the old soldiers and civilians, persuaded me to advance. As for repeated resignations, I will not accept it. At this moment, I only tell the world, That is, the throne of emperor.

On the day of enthronement, officials from the Ministry of Rites went to the Temple of Heaven, Xiannongtan and Taimiao to inform the ancestors.As soon as the auspicious time arrived, the bells and drums rang together, and Zhu Youjian, dressed in bright yellow gown, went up to the Fengtian Gate and began to pray.

After praying, Zhu Youjian walked through the square outside the Meridian Gate, and all civil and military officials knelt on the left and right, waiting for him to complete the royal road leading to the top of power.

Zhu Youjian walked slowly through the [-]-meter imperial road, and stepped on the nine-story cloud steps to the front of Fengtian Hall.At this time, he suddenly turned to face the officials of cultural relics.

Seeing this, the eunuch who was leading the ceremonies looked at each other in blank dismay, and couldn't help being a little panicked.If something goes wrong with this enthronement ceremony, I am afraid that next year today will be their memorial day!
Wei Zhongxian, who was not far away, hurried over, and persuaded with a slightly warning tone: "Your Majesty, the enthronement ceremony must not be delayed, and there is still a long process behind, please complete the entire ceremony at the auspicious time."

Zhu Youjian glanced at him, and said lightly: "Eunuch Wei, I naturally know this, I just have something to say now."

Hearing this tone, Wei Zhongxian's heart skipped a beat. He felt something was wrong, but he couldn't tell the specifics.

But he thought that he had the other party's evidence of murdering the emperor in his hands, and he was not afraid that the other party would do something bad in public, so he stepped aside and waited quietly.

The reason why Zhu Youjian did this is naturally to cooperate with the upcoming drama.

He looked around, and in the square below, all the civil and military officials were kneeling on the ground, and no one dared to move without authorization.

This is the supreme pleasure brought by imperial power!

Zhu Youjian soon woke up from such intoxicating power. He still remembered his original intention, not to sit on the throne deliberately to experience the pleasure of power, but to continue the great Ming Dynasty and the country. Zuo passed down from generation to generation!
He raised his hand to straighten his clothes and crown, straightened his appearance, then raised his arms and opened his arms, and said in a clear voice.

"I am Zhu Youjian, the No. 16 emperor of the Ming Dynasty. I am a great Ming Dynasty, with great virtues, and a century-old state. However, I am at the time of internal and external troubles, life and death. I implore my ancestors and ancestors to help me, defend my Ming Dynasty, and protect me Sheji!
I swear in the name of Sizong!

I am here, I should be diligent in political affairs, suppress grievances and counter cases, practice frugality, make the country peaceful and happy for the people, guard the land and open up the frontiers, wipe out the barbarians, and establish the foundation of my Ming Dynasty forever!
When I die, I will also become a dragon soul, and protect my Ming Dynasty forever!

This oath is witnessed by the sun and the moon, shared by heaven and earth, ancestors, ministers, immortals, demons and gods all listen to it! "

The impassioned words, even though they have been rehearsed several times beforehand, standing in front of Fengtian Temple and speaking to the officials of heaven and earth at this moment still makes Zhu Youjian feel extremely surging and excited in his heart!
The officials of the cultural relics kneeling in the Meridian Gate Square were all surprised when they heard this oath!
Wei Zhongxian squinted his eyes and looked at Zhu Youjian who was in front of him, and secretly said disapprovingly in his heart: The words are nice, but so what if the words are nice, after all, Daming is not what you say, and the late emperor can see this much more clearly than you.

Just when he was about to step forward to persuade Zhu Youjian to continue the ceremony, a sudden change occurred!

A fire dragon suddenly flew out of the sky above the eaves of Fengtian Hall, and the maid who was the first to notice this situation couldn't help but exclaimed!

This exclamation made everyone subconsciously follow her gaze and look up to the sky.

In addition to the cultural relics kneeling in the square, the guards, eunuchs, and maids present all saw fire dragons flying and circling in the sky. At first, there was only one fire dragon, but soon several fire dragons flew out from behind the eaves of Fengtian Palace. .

In the end, there were a total of nine fire dragons circling and dancing in the sky. The blazing flames made the already hot weather even more threatening, making the well-dressed people below sweat profusely.

Although the specific details of the nine fire dragons are not very clear, they actually look like the emperor's dragon in appearance, as if the heavenly dragons hovering on the Zhuzhu pillars in Fengtian Temple flew out alive!
Everyone was stunned!

Wei Zhongxian was very scheming, so he never expected such a strange phenomenon to appear.He tried to open his eyes wide, trying to find a clue of conspiracy.He doesn't believe that there are really heavenly dragons in this world, otherwise why would Daming be so weak! ?
All of this is probably Zhu Youjian's conspiracy!
Looking at the fire dragons circling and dancing in the sky at this time, Zhu Youjian was also very shocked!
Although he had seen Zhang Jin's fire-controlling technique before, the visual impact of the fire ball and fire dragon was completely incomparable. This image alone was enough to give people a sense of coercion!
After taking a deep breath, Zhu Youjian said loudly to the civil and military officials below: "My dear friends, please look up, this is the real dragon of fire virtue that protects the Ming Dynasty!"

As soon as this remark came out, those cultural relic officials kneeling on the ground already sweating profusely straightened up and looked up at the sky, only to see nine fire dragons flying and circling in the air less than ten feet above their heads, baring their teeth and claws, with an astonishing momentum!
"This... is really auspicious, and a real dragon has appeared?!" An old minister with white beard and hair said tremblingly.

"Why can't these fire dragons see clearly?" A general hesitated.

"Since he is a true dragon with fire virtue, how can we see his true face? I am afraid that only the emperor can see it!" said the Minister of Rites.

The fire dragon hovered in the sky, and the officials on the ground were talking about it.

Zhu Youjian knelt down and kowtowed, and said loudly: "The ancestors are above all, if I can save the foundation of the Ming Dynasty, please give me fire, virtue and luck to protect my country!"

As soon as the voice fell, everyone watched.

The nine fire dragons no longer continued to circle and dance in the air, but rushed towards Zhu Youjian with an astonishing momentum that no one dared to stop!

"Be careful, Your Majesty!"

Several loyal guards were about to step forward, but they were all shouted back by Zhu Youjian.

"Retire all for me. If I am the master of Ming Dynasty Zhongxing, nothing will happen. If I am not the chosen one, I would rather be burnt to death by the true dragon of fire virtue than sit on the dragon chair and waste time!"

While speaking, the fire dragon rushed to Zhu Youjian's body with lightning speed!

However, as if it was protected by freedom in the dark, the fire dragon did not burn Zhu Youjian with flames, but diverted from the two sides ten centimeters in front of him, and regrouped behind him.

All nine fire dragons rushed towards Zhu Youjian, and merged behind him to form a huge fire dragon. The dragon's body was ten feet long, coiling around his body. Slowly scanning the civil and military officials below, all those who were watched felt a burst of suffocating pressure, as if being watched by the previous emperors of the Ming Dynasty!

Everyone was shocked, no one dared to speak!

The Kowloons gather, and the virtue of fire is added to the body. Zhu Youjian is in the flames as if there is nothing beside him, with a solemn and majestic expression!
This scene was deeply imprinted in the hearts of all civil and military officials, guards, eunuchs and court ladies present!
After a while, the huge fire dragon flew into the sky, went straight into the sky, and disappeared into the vast sky!
Zhu Youjian turned around suddenly and walked towards Fengtian Hall.

Walking like a dragon and walking like a tiger, with the air of a king!
"This is an auspicious photo from heaven, the emperor must be a sage and wise king who is unique in a thousand!"

"Luck is added to the body, and fire virtue is prosperous!"

"Long live the emperor, long live, long live..."

There was a tsunami from the mountains behind him, and the ministers celebrated loudly.

Zhu Youjian, who had already stepped into Fengtian Temple, couldn't help flashing a smile of determination and determination on his face!
This Ming Dynasty, I will revive it!
