Quickly wear "I am the empress"

Chapter 547 Ming Dynasty: The Emperor Guards the National Gate (36)

Thinking of this, Zhu Youxiao threw the wine in his hand aside, stood up and walked out.

He has nothing but his craftsmanship. Since Eighth Sister is short of money, he will do more carpentry work to earn her some money, so that she won't be like him, being restricted by others everywhere...

It's a bit bitter, he can just eat it himself, but his younger brothers and sisters don't have to eat it...

"I see you, Your Majesty."

In the study, Wei Zhongxian, who looked much older, saluted Zhiyu.

Zhiyu waved his hand, "Master Wei, there's no need to be so polite."

"Master Wei, why did you come here so late at night? I wonder what important matter you have?"

Wei Zhongxian lowered his head and looked at his mostly white hair. After a while, he sighed bitterly and said, "I have come here to beg Your Majesty for my remains."

"Now that I am getting older, I am no longer able to handle things. I want to return to my hometown..."

Hearing Wei Zhongxian's words, Zhiyu raised his eyebrows slightly, "Sir Wei, you have offended many people over the years. If you resign, I'm afraid many people will seek revenge on you..."

Hearing Zhiyu's words, Wei Zhongxian smiled bitterly. After resigning, he might be sought after for revenge, but if he did not resign, he was afraid that he would not live long.

Ke Shi is dead, so how long is his death?

He didn't believe that the Imperial Palace couldn't protect a woman...

He didn't want to and didn't dare to delve into the reasons, but he felt that if he continued to stay in the court, sooner or later he would follow in Keshi's footsteps.

Although the current emperor is young, he is not as easy to fool as the emperor. All officials are dissatisfied with him, a eunuch, who can call the shots in the court. What if he is no longer useful in the future and the person in front of him takes advantage of the situation and kills him with the help of others?

Thinking of this, Wei Zhongxian couldn't help but laugh bitterly. Everyone called him a traitor, but which traitor could be forced to this extent like him...

Even after his wife died, he didn't dare to even fart. Yet, he was still called a traitor and the common people cursed him for a bad death every day...

He admitted that he was indeed a bit arrogant when the retired emperor was in power, but now that he has lived to this day, why do people among the people still think he is a traitor?

"Sir Wei, you now hold an important position. You should think carefully about your resignation before you come to me."

"If you're resigning because you're afraid I'm too intolerant, then you can rest assured. In my eyes, Zhu Huiti, there are only two kinds of people: useful and useless."

"Your abilities are obvious to all. I promise you today that as long as you do not do anything that violates the laws of the Ming Dynasty, I will ensure that you will live a life of prosperity."

Wei Zhongxian was a little surprised when he heard Zhiyu's words.

"Your Majesty, do you wish me to stay?"

Zhiyu nodded, "I don't care what you did in the past, nor do I care what you think in your heart."

"But now, as a minister of the Ming Dynasty, you should devote yourself to the Ming Dynasty."

"From now on, just do your part. I promised you that I would make you famous throughout history, and that promise still stands..."

Wei Zhongxian left the palace in a daze, feeling mixed emotions.

What on earth is that person thinking...

Even if she didn't think highly of me, I would still be trusted by her after he ascended the throne, and my position would rise accordingly.

It was said that she had taken a fancy to me, and all the people in my faction, even my wife, were killed at her instruction.

Thinking of this, Wei Zhongxian shook his thoughtless head and looked up at the full moon in the sky with some helplessness.

He now understands what it feels like to walk on thin ice...
