Chapter 544 Foolproof
Therefore, Chen Er now understands perfectly well that the Emperor's most important task is not to discuss how to deal with Wei Zhongxian, but to use all his power to take Zhang Xingchen away from Wei Zhongxian.
If Zhang Xingchen remains obstinate, then perhaps we should do everything in our power to seize all the military power he holds.
This way, there would be no chance of anything going wrong. Chen Er smiled indifferently and didn't plan to go back, because he still wanted to tell the Emperor his true feelings in person.
Chen Er even tried to persuade the emperor not to get angry now, but he didn't know what the emperor was thinking.
At this moment, in the spacious room of the imperial court, only two people were sitting. Apart from the flickering candlelight, the two were looking at each other. They were none other than the emperor and Zhang Shaoqing.
Zhang Shaoqing now seemed a little calmer, unlike the Emperor who was extremely excited. The Emperor noticed that Zhang Shaoqing seemed to have something on his mind, so he asked him in confusion.
“What’s wrong with Zhang Shaoqing? You should be happy. Wei Zhongxian has been acting recklessly and corruptly in the court, killing countless colleagues. Now he’s finally going to be ruined by me.”
The Emperor's words could not conceal his excitement, but Zhang Shaoqing was different; he was a completely different person compared to the Emperor.
Zhang Shaoqing must be looking very worried now. His bitter face made the Emperor quite conflicted. Only then did Zhang Shaoqing say helplessly.
"Your Majesty, I feel that we must discuss this matter this time. It would be best to call Zhao Beixing over as well, just in case. If Wei Zhongxian were really so easy to deal with, he wouldn't have survived until now."
Zhang Shaoqing began his formal analysis, and his words greatly displeased the Emperor.
Good heavens, he had finally managed to seize this hard-won opportunity, how could the Emperor allow it to slip away right under his nose? So the Emperor couldn't quite figure out what Zhang Shaoqing was really thinking.
"Zhang Shaoqing, let me tell you, once Chen Er arrives, the two of you must do everything in your power to unite your forces and persuade Chen Er to join in as soon as possible."
"The more people involved, the more certain we are to win this time. And I've thought it through. If we successfully kill Wei Zhongxian, you and the two Chen Ers will be indispensable."
Before the emperor could finish speaking, footsteps could be heard coming from outside.
"Your Majesty, have you forgotten me? This time I went to the Jiangnan region, and it was a very arduous journey for me."
Zhao Beixing had just returned home, taken a hot shower, and walked in wearing his official robes. He was well aware that Wei Zhongxian was now at his last gasp.
If the Emperor put in a little more effort, he is confident that he can kill Wei Zhongxian. Therefore, Zhao Beixing came to discuss matters ahead of time. Zhang Shaoqing was not pleased with Zhao Beixing's arrival, but instead asked him with great suspicion.
"Zhao Beixing, what brings you here today? It seems the Emperor didn't request your presence."
Zhao Beixing's face turned very ugly after hearing Zhang Shaoqing's words. Although Zhang Shaoqing was now the Minister of War, he no longer had any real power.
Moreover, the Emperor and Chen Er had already discussed it yesterday and decided to give the title of Minister of War to Zhang Xingchen.
However, because Zhang Xingchen has not appeared recently, and the Emperor is angry, he is not going to give the position of Minister of War to Zhang Xingchen. Zhao Beixing glared at Zhang Shaoqing resentfully before saying helplessly.
"Zhang Shaoqing, please understand the seriousness of this matter. My presence here is absolutely permitted by the Emperor, so I hope you will not be angry about it."
"Because I'm still a trump card, who knows, if I successfully break through this barrier, I might have to go back to that damned cell." Zhao Beixing paused slightly here before continuing.
"People who have never been to a prison cell have no idea how dangerous that situation is. They don't get enough to eat every day, and they have to worry about being beaten by other prisoners. The worst part is that they will catch and eat rats when they see them."
"I've never eaten a rat, only a cockroach." Zhao Beixing's words made the emperor's face change color again and again, and he almost vomited.
The Emperor looked at Zhao Beixing with a smile: "I know you've suffered a lot lately, but don't worry, as long as you help me successfully bring down Wei Zhongxian, I promise you that I will do my best in the future."
"No one can arrest you anymore, and I'll even give you a higher official position in the future." The Emperor's words made Zhao Beixing very happy.
Zhao Beixing had been waiting for several years, and he had forgotten how long it had been since he had climbed the ranks. Isn't that what being an official is all about?
Everyone wants to become a great hero, second only to the emperor, and eventually make a name for themselves. Just thinking about it is so exhilarating.
Zhao Beixing immediately knelt on the ground: "Thank you for your great kindness, Your Majesty. I hope that through my unremitting efforts, I can help Your Majesty bring down Wei Zhongxian and restore peace to the Ming Dynasty. I hope that such a great villain as Wei Zhongxian will never appear again."
The Emperor was very pleased with Zhao Beixing's words, and a banquet had already been prepared.
Once Chen Er arrives, they can eat and discuss what to do next.
It was at this moment that Chen Er led Ma Dazhi and Liu Chengdong in. The Emperor was no stranger to Ma Dazhi and Liu Chengdong and had already begun to cultivate them as his own people.
"Chen Er, why are you so late? Hurry up and sit down and punish yourself with three cups of wine, or I will definitely be angry." The emperor's words left Chen Er feeling very helpless.
Without hesitation, Chen Er picked up his wine glass and immediately poured three glasses of wine into his mouth. Chen Er's performance immediately drew applause from everyone, especially Zhao Beixing.
After these few days of trials and tribulations, he has completely transformed; he used to be an unknown fat man.
But now, his complexion has become so bad, it's really a bit embarrassing for Zhao Beixing. At this moment, Chen Er came to Zhao Beixing's side.
"Zhao Beixing, I'm so sorry for making you suffer so much. Now that you're back, it's time for you to enjoy your life."
Chen Er's words startled Zhao Beixing, who dared not be negligent and stood up instantly.
