Chapter 791 Provoking the Prince

This court meeting was undoubtedly full of scheming, and it is unknown what the purpose of these censors was. No one can say whether it was for the Ming Dynasty or for their own selfish interests.

For example, if the censor Wu Bei and others could convince the emperor and prevent Xiao Shishi from being elected as the crown princess, then he would gain a large number of fans and would be like a fish in water in politics.

I was for the court and made a desperate advice for the Ming Dynasty. I asked the emperor to give up an unqualified crown princess for the sake of the country.

The civil officials below will immediately follow Wu Bei as their leader. At that time, Wu Bei will not only welcome him with prestige.

He became a role model for civil servants and was known for his courage to violate advice. If he did not do it well, historians would leave a mark in history books, which would be famous for all ages.

Compared with other official positions, the censor can basically be regarded as a clear-cut yamen, and many censors value fame but neglect profit. Most of the names here refer to false names.

Zhu Cilang was kept in the dark all this, and even when he returned to the Forbidden City from Hu Ben Camp, he knew nothing about it.

Zhongcui Palace, at this time, Zhongcui Palace was as lively as the New Year. Dog-legged, wealthy and Fu, followed Pingkou to make great contributions, and the bean flowers and three joys in the palace were happy.

At this moment, someone came.

"Your Highness, the Chief Prince, Eunuch Chen, the Chief Secretary, asked for a meeting." A little palace maid came to report.

Zhu Ciyang was stunned, Wang Chengen?

Wang Chengen may not have made any great achievements. He was originally under the name of eunuch Cao Huachun, and he was appointed as the eunuch of the Sili Supervisor and was deeply trusted by Chongzhen.

Eunuchs are all physically incomplete people. They often have psychological problems due to physical defects. In addition, most eunuchs have low status and live a hard life, so once they seize the opportunity, they will climb up.

Because these people know that only by climbing to a high position can they live the life they yearn for. And in the process of climbing up, most of them have always used any means. Because they only have themselves in their hearts, and others' life and death have nothing to do with them.

Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang had a very strict control over the eunuch group. Zhu Yuanzhang once said that once eunuchs gained power, they would have the possibility of a country being destroyed.

However, when Zhu Di, Emperor Chengzu, found that if he did not value eunuchs, he could only use his ministers. And the ministers were twice as unreliable as eunuchs.

After all, the power of eunuchs comes from imperial power. As long as they are used properly, they can still be within the control of the emperor. But the ministers will not do it. Once they are so powerful that they will be shocked by the emperor, the emperor will have nothing to do.

Wang Chengen was generous and when Chongzhen was still believing in the king, he was just an ordinary eunuch in the king's mansion, doing rough work every day and living a hard life. Although he was always bullied by others, Wang Chengen did not resent them because of this.

Compared to Wei Zhongxian, who was arrogant and domineering, and someone like Wang Chengen was honest and kind, Chongzhen naturally favored him.

I wonder if the emperors of the Ming Dynasty like to play with water. When Chongzhen was the King of Xin, he once fell into the pool of the royal palace. Because the water in the pool was very deep and Chongzhen could not swim, so he could only struggle hard after falling in.

The eunuchs in the royal palace discovered Emperor Chongzhen who fell into the water. They shouted loudly to help, but none of them dared to jump into the water to save people. Only Wang Chengen jumped into the water alone, and one of them plunged into the water. Then he suddenly realized that he could not swim, so he began to struggle in the water.

Soon, a group of swimming guards rushed over to rescue Chongzhen and Wang Chengen. Most of them laughed at Wang Chengen as stupid, but Emperor Chongzhen felt that among so many people, Wang Chengen was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was most loyal to him. At such a critical moment, only Wang Chengen was willing to risk his life to jump into the water to save him.

Moreover, when the Ming Dynasty fell, Wang Chengen followed Emperor Chongzhen to hang himself in the southeast branch. With this loyalty alone, he gained great favor from Zhu Cilang.

Zhu Cixuan was not very polite to the people in the palace, but he was very respectful to Wang Chengen.

When he heard that it was Wang Chengen's visit, Zhu Cilang actually stood up and went to the outside of Zhongcui Palace to greet him.

This made Wang Chengen a little flattered: "Your Highness the Crown Prince can never do it, it will ruin the old slave."

Zhu Cilang smiled slightly: "Prince and Duke are welcomed by a kilometer of face, so Madam does not have to be humble. I have always respected Madam's character. Madam Wang visited late at night, and I think there is something important to tell me."

Wang Chengen was shocked and couldn't help but be in awe of the prince. No wonder the prince was able to make many great achievements, and this son had a bright future. He just came without telling him, and a dignified prince came to greet him. More importantly, he directly guessed the reason for his visit.

While talking, the two walked into Zhongcui Palace. Unlike the palaces elsewhere, the people in Zhongcui Palace are much more free and casual, which is related to Zhu Cixuan's temperament.

Wang Chengen even accepted: "Your Highness, the old slave is a little envious."

Zhu Cixuan was stunned: "I envy, what do you envy?"

Wang Chengen smiled slightly: "In this deep palace and among the bedrooms everywhere, only the Prince Zhongcui Palace is the most peaceful and peaceful."

Zhu Cilang laughed, and he understood what Wang Chengen meant. The rules in the palace were strict, and there was no place as free as Zhong Cui Palace. From the faces of these eunuchs and palace maids, they did not have the same trembling as those on the faces of the palace maids in other palaces.

Zhu Cixuan brought Wang Chengen into the hall, kicked Wangcai and Lai Fu at one step, "Get out, no one is allowed to come in without the instructions of this palace."

Wangcai and Lai Fu didn't say anything, and even Wangcai, who was brave enough, touched a pastry from the table and stuffed it into his mouth. This made Wang Chengen stunned. In other palaces, Wangcai had been dragged out to dismember the five horses.

Zhu Cilang didn't care and signaled Wang Chengen to sit down: "Please sit down, when you get here, it's the same as when you're at your own home. We don't have to be restrained, let alone practice the common Confucian rituals. If there is anything, Eunuch Wang will just say it."

Perhaps Zhu Cilang didn't understand the seriousness of the matter, so Wang Chengen pondered for a while, so he told Zhu Cilang everything about the ministers opposing Xiao Shishi's role as the crown princess at the court meeting.

Zhu Cixuan was indeed surprised when he heard this: "What, that bastard Wu Bei from the Censorate?"

Wang Chengen sighed: "Your Highness, I know that you have a relationship with Miss Shen. But, why don't you do this, this matter will be difficult to follow the prince's wishes."

That's right, when things have developed to this point, it will be a little difficult to become Xiao Shishi as the crown princess again. Especially Wu Bei, he is the biggest obstacle.
