Chapter 416 Falling short (1)
Chapter 416: Failure (1)
Looking at the emperor's angry expression, Tang Feng felt sad. Everything he said before was based on real evidence and was deeply harmful to the court and the people, but Tianqi would rather not believe it or endure it. But when he cleverly made such a trap, half of which was a crime of lies, the emperor believed it, and even became angry. It seemed that Tianqi was really a person who only knew how to judge things based on his own likes and dislikes.
Although this approach was not open and honest enough, Tang Feng decided to add another effort in order to solve the traitor in front of him once and for all. So when the emperor said that words and everyone in the hall were a little panicked, he replied again: "Your Majesty, I know that it is difficult to convince me by relying on this confession, and Wei Zhongxian cannot fully confess his guilt, so I also brought a witness today!
"Xu Sanlun, the leader of the assassin who intercepted Lord Sun on the road that day, is now outside the palace! As long as the emperor is grateful, he can enter the palace to confront Wei Zhongxian, so that the emperor can naturally understand everything and know that the empress has not lie!"
"Okay, I will allow you to ask Xu Sanlun to come into the palace!" Tianqi suddenly stood up and said. But as soon as the man got up from the dragon throne, he felt dizzy and staggered forward.
"Emperor..." Fortunately, Wang Tiqian, who was on the other side, was quick to help him as soon as the emperor lost his balance, so he did not make the emperor fall down, but this scared everyone else in the palace almost fainted. King Xin Zhu Youjian immediately got up from his seat and rushed to the front of the Tianqi: "What's wrong with the emperor brother?"
"I... I just feel tired..." Tianqi said weakly. It turned out that he didn't sleep that night and was angry several times. When he was excited, the emperor, who was very weak, had reached his limit. He just stood up from his seat, which made his body unable to bear it, and he was so tight that his chest was short of breath, and he almost fell down.
Looking at the emperor's pale face, these people knew that the emperor could no longer handle Wei Zhongxian's affairs, so someone immediately ran out to find the imperial physician, and the eunuchs hurriedly helped the emperor back to rest. Seeing everyone busy helping the emperor out, no one paid attention to him, Tang Feng only felt that things in the world were not so ridiculous. He was obviously going to defeat Wei Zhongxian in one fell swoop, but who would have thought that this happened in the moment of the last shot.
Everyone in the hall rushed out, and even King Xin and the emperor went to the harem, only Tang Feng and Wei Zhongxian were left here. After a while, Wei Zhongxian, who had already collapsed on the ground, slowly stood up, stared at Tang Feng with a resentful look for a while, and then said in a murderous voice: "Tang Feng, our family really underestimated your ability and your ambition. I didn't expect that you had already made plans to deal with our family. I really misunderstood people! Fortunately, our family will not perish. Since the emperor cannot
I was convicted in the church, and I had my own means to change all this! Wait, our family will not give you a second chance, and our family will not let you die happily! Even our wife and daughter will not let you go!" After saying this threatening sentence, Wei Zhongxian walked out swayingly. Today he was under great pressure and almost couldn't stand up. But now he is full of strength again. He believes that with his power, as long as he calms down, he will definitely be able to reverse everything.
Tang Feng felt resentment when he heard Wei Zhongxian's smug and murderous words. He was only one step away from being able to completely kill Wei Zhongxian. But who would have thought that such a thing would happen? He was really unwilling to accept it. When he heard Wei Zhongxian say that it would be unfavorable to his wife and newborn daughter, Tang Feng was almost about to pounce on him and strangled Wei Zhongxian to death. Fortunately, his consciousness was still a little clear, and he knew that doing so would only accompany him. Now that he was still on his side, he endured it. After sighing deeply, he left the palace helplessly.
"Sir, how about it?" Lu An and others, who saw him leaving the palace safely, escorting Chu Buer and three others in front of the palace, immediately surrounded him and asked anxiously. Seeing that Tang Feng could come out, they felt that things should be beneficial to them, but looking at his expression, they felt that it was not. But thinking that the adults were useless and unreasonable, they asked.
Tang Feng shook his head and said to these brothers: "Go back first!" It was already dawn, but looking at the whiteness of the east, Tang Feng felt that the darkness of the Ming Dynasty had not ended there.
"This happened!" After listening to Tang Feng's narration, Lu An, Luo Yangxing and others shouted in disbelief: "Is even God helping these eunuchs?"
Tang Feng smiled bitterly: "I have calculated everything. I have guessed Wei Zhongxian's reaction and blocked his retreat, but he did not count that the emperor would suddenly lose his support. In this way, this matter will inevitably cause further setbacks. With the strength of the eunuch party, they will definitely try their best to fight back against us. We are about to face a hard battle."
After a while of silence, Luo Yangxing said: "Sir, brothers, you don't have to be discouraged. The situation is still beneficial to us, and we don't have to be pessimistic at all. As long as the emperor recovers, there will always be an explanation for this matter."
"Yes, the eunuchs have just escaped for a while, but this does not mean that they can always be so lucky. All the evidence of crimes is tangible and they have no way to deny it."
"Good and evil will be rewarded in the end, and retribution will come soon!" Those people comforted the people around them and comforted themselves. Although Tang Feng had a smile on his face when he heard them say this, he was not so optimistic. If he could not completely kill Wei Zhongxian at once, he would inevitably face their crazy counterattack. He and his subordinates must be vigilant.
"Tell brothers to be more careful to prevent the eunuch party from taking action, and send people to guard the censors' mansions. If people from the East Factory and other places want to be detrimental to them, we can also help them. They are our capable help to deal with the eunuch party and cannot be lost. Also, return all the borrowed muskets and crossbows, so that people cannot catch this excuse, and then send effective people to the royal palace guards to prevent the eunuch party from jumping over the wall!" Before everyone dispersed, Tang Feng gave a series of orders, and he had to prepare carefully and carefully. Before the matter was concluded, he could not give anyone an opportunity to take advantage of it.
Tang Feng himself reconciled the doubts and continued to stay in the Northern Fushi Division. With the elite guards here, it was difficult for the eunuch party to pose a threat to him without the loyalty of the army. However, now he also knows that he has changed from an attacker to a defender, and it will be up to how the eunuch party members take action.
After Wei Zhongxian recovered from his senses, he called all his confidants to him. Of course, Qin and Chu could not come anymore because they were still under the control of the Jinyiwei.
"... Our family is really blind. He actually reused Tang Feng, a ungrateful wolf, and was almost killed by him..." After talking about everything that happened in the palace, Wei Zhongxian said with annoyance: "You give our family an idea, how should you clear the blame and let the emperor believe in our family again. Also, how should we deal with Tang Feng and follow him to fight against our family and plot against our family?"
Everyone's hearts were also not to be thrilling. Unexpectedly, this Mid-Autumn Festival would be so thrilling that they would almost become burial objects. They all knew very well that as a capable person around Wei Zhongxian, if he was really convicted by the emperor, they would naturally be unable to escape death. So they were afraid of it, and hatred for Tang Feng and the people who helped him deal with Wei Zhongxian. However, it was a bit embarrassing for them to come up with ideas. Although they were good at harming people with dissidents, they were mostly just concocted some charges. If they really wanted them to come up with a way to overturn these substantive evidence, they were not their strengths.
Someone proposed to send someone to kill Tang Feng and others all at once, but Wei Zhongxian scolded him so much that he would lose himself. This would be to pay him too. This is not the style of Eunuch Wei. Moreover, with the strength of Tang Feng now, it would be better for him to deal with them without force.
As for some other proposals, they were even more unconvincing. Some people also suggested talking to Tang Feng to see if they could buy it or fake the imperial edict to deal with him, but these were extremely clumsy and could not be used on Tang Feng and others who had completely broken their faces with the eunuch party. Seeing that none of the people here could come up with a good idea for him, Wei Zhongxian was furious again and scolded all of them at once, and then he became furious alone there.
"I only now know how important Cui Chengxiu is to our family. Now I think Tang Feng used a plan to force him away that day. It's ridiculous that I thought he wanted to win the trust of our family. If Cui Chengxiu was still there, this problem would have been solved, but unfortunately he had already returned to his hometown. Even if someone invited him back now, it would be difficult to relieve his thirst. Tang Feng is so powerful that he had already cut off all my support and then made this last blow. Could it be that our family is really going to be defeated by him?" Wei Zhongxian thought about it hatefully, but suddenly saw Yang Changzhou, and then his heart moved: "Xiao Yang has always had too many plans, why did I forget him."
