Chapter 4 Chapter 4 Wei Zhongxian's Legend of Prosperity

Just when Li Xuanshi cruelly abused the future emperors of these two empires, another person was born out of nowhere. Who was it?Wei Zhongxian. Speaking of Wei Zhongxian, he was not called Wei Zhongxian at the beginning, but his name was Li Jinzhong.Because there was no hope of making a living and no ability to survive, he later thought: If you want to be successful, you must first go to the palace. I simply go to the palace and become a eunuch after I go to the palace. Once I get mixed up with the emperor, it will be a success in life.Driven by this kind of motivation, he crippled himself with a "click" and entered the palace.

He regretted it after arriving at the palace, why?The palace is overcrowded, with one carrot and one pit. When he came in, he came in as an ordinary employee. His position was the lowest. He was just a little eunuch sweeping the floor. Anyone could kick him twice. If something happened, he could be used as a temporary worker to take over the responsibility. .At that time, Li Jinzhong saw that this was a miserable situation, and said that if I stayed in the palace for so long, I would die a worthless person sooner or later, and I would have no future, so what should I do?I'll just run away.

So one night, Li Jinzhong jumped over the palace wall and escaped. Where did he escape to?He went directly to Sichuan, why did he go to Sichuan?Because he had a friend when he was young, and the two played together, and that friend became a big official in Sichuan.Li Jinzhong thought: My friend is well-off, and he has to take care of me no matter what.Sure enough, when he arrived in Sichuan, that friend greeted him politely, saying that I was looking for you everywhere, and you finally came, and then he took Li Jinzhong to the dark room, locked the door with a "click", and said Li Jinzhong you Remember that I am your friend, do you remember how many times you bullied me, insulted me, and ravaged me since you were young?Li Jinzhong said, look, look, isn't this a joke between our brothers?My friend said you were joking, you were playing with the pleasure of ravaging others, but the humiliation in my heart has almost destroyed my personality, and I will not spare you.Today you fall into my hands, I will not beat you or scold you, I will let you stay in this room; I will not give you water to drink, I will not give you food, I will watch you starve to death In front of me, to dispel the hatred in my heart.Now Li Jinzhong was dumbfounded.

When he was about to starve to death, a monk suddenly came. The monk came in and asked, "Did a friend come to your house recently, and you locked him up?"My friend said yes, how do you know about this?The monk said, let me tell you, you can’t lock this person, he is related to the fortune of the empire, you can listen to me, let this person go, not only let him go, you and I each write a letter of recommendation for him, Recommend him to the high-level executives in the palace and give him a future. This person is related to the fortune of the empire, and you have to do this. The monk persuaded this friend of Li Jinzhong, released Li Jinzhong, entertained him with delicious food and drinks, and then wrote him a letter of recommendation, recommending it to Wei Chao, the great eunuch of the dynasty.In this way, Li Jinzhong's fate turned back again, and he worshiped Wei Chao as his godfather. After that, he changed his name to Wei Zhongxian.

When Wei Zhongxian became an official, he smacked left and right in the palace: In this palace, the servant Li Xuan is the one who has the final say, not the emperor.He immediately took refuge in Li Xuanshi and became the number one horseman under Li Xuanshi. Wei Zhongxian's first appearance in history started as a rebel.The cause of the incident was that after the death of Emperor Guangzong, the ministers held a meeting and said that if Guangzong died, of course his eldest son, Emperor Xizong, would succeed to the throne.Then the minister sent the news to the palace and waited, but Emperor Xizong did not come out. Instead, the palace also made a request that Li Xuanshi must be appointed as the queen first.The ministers have never heard of Li Xuanshi, because they don't know about Emperor Guangzong's private life, and they said that such a strange woman came out. This woman is neither Xi Zong's biological mother nor Guangzong's official wife. Who is she!She popped up to be queen, ignore her!

But ignore her, the throne will be vacant, and this Emperor Xizong will not come out to succeed him.The ministers inquired with the eunuchs, and only then did they know that Emperor Xizong of Tianqi was detained by Li Xuanshi.The so-called detention is just a sentence: You stay in the house for me.Why is this sentence so effective?Because Emperor Xizong has been brought up by Li Xuanshi since his mother died, in other words, he was raised by Li Xuanshi, and he has formed a deep-rooted fear of Li Xuanshi and Wei Zhongxian in his personality.As long as he heard the footsteps of these people, he was afraid, and he lived in the shadow of these people all his life.

So when Li Xuanshi ordered him to hide in the house and not go out, he didn't dare to come out, dare not come out to succeed the throne.Now the ministers are confused: Why did a strange woman suddenly appear in this palace and detain our emperor? In this way, more than 300 ministers of the current dynasty, all of whom were old men with white beards, entered the palace aggressively with sticks in their hands. As soon as they entered the palace, they heard the sound of killing. A group of eunuchs came up to meet them. Who was the leader?It is Wei Zhongxian, the No. 1 horse boy under Li Xuanshi.This Wei Zhongxian came out to fight against the officials, it was a good fight.

But after all, there are many ministers—there are also many people in the palace, but after all, there are only a few people in the palace who can get close to the core of power, and there are not many people who can follow Wei Zhongxian to do such inexplicable things. They successfully snatched it out, and then were quickly pressed on the dragon chair. Everyone turned around to discuss and prepared to kowtow, but when they came out to kowtow, Emperor Xizong was gone!Where did it go?ran back. Because Emperor Xizong was very afraid of Li Xuanshi, Li Xuanshi didn't let him out, he was snatched out, and now he was afraid that Li Xuanshi would punish him, so he wanted to run back.

Now the ministers all sat down.Into the palace again?As I said just now, they are all old men with white beards. They have already exhausted their skills in the first battle, and they can't afford the second one.There was no way, in the end a few old men sneaked into the palace, persuaded a few eunuchs, and stole Emperor Xizong out.After stealing out, Li Xuanshi and Wei Zhongxian chased after him, and the ministers ran desperately holding Emperor Xizong.From then on, he looked at Emperor Xizong and forbade Li Xuan to meet them.At this time Li Xuanshi saw that there was nothing he could do, so he made a request: "Okay, you don't want me to be the queen, then I will live in this palace, and I won't leave."

The ministers said: All right, all we need is to return Emperor Xizong to us. After a while, the ministers came to their senses: Who is this woman?Why does she live in this palace?After discovering this perplexing question, the ministers said no, Li Xuan must be moved out of the palace.Li Xuan was so angry that before he left, he smashed the palace to pieces, and took away all the valuables and bags that could be taken away.She left as soon as she left, but the ministers finally breathed a sigh of relief and finally drove away an inexplicable woman. At this time, Wei Zhongxian officially entered history and became the person who controlled the fate of the empire. Why?As mentioned earlier, Emperor Mingxi of Tianqi can be said to have been beaten up by Wei Zhongxian.He regards Wei Zhongxian as his father, why?Because Wei Zhongxian taught him so.In his bones, he was already extremely in awe of Wei Zhongxian, and never dared to resist at all.

There is a story in the history books that Wei Zhongxian deceived the emperor. Every time he played a report, he took advantage of Emperor Xizong to do carpentry work (Emperor Xizong is a very interesting carpenter emperor in Chinese history. Why is he so interested in carpenter skills? Obsessed? It is likely that he is escaping from reality. He is afraid of this reality, but he can’t fight it.) When he was in high spirits, Emperor Xi Zong waved his hand and said, you can figure it out. The actual history is that Wei Zhongxian doesn't need to do this at all, he just needs to do the thing, and then tell Xi Zong, Xi Zong can only nod.As I said before, Emperor Xizong and Emperor Chongzhen both grew up under the abuse of Li Xuanshi and Wei Zhongxian, and they had already formed awe of them in their bones, and they did not dare to resist in the slightest. Immediately afterwards, in order to further control Emperor Xizong, Wei Zhongxian got a large amount of aphrodisiac and gave it to Emperor Xizong. After taking it, Emperor Xizong became hard and died.When he died, whose hands did the Empire fall into?In the hands of the last emperor, Emperor Chongzhen.
