    Entering Wei Zhongxian's mansion in Tieshihutong, Zhu Youcheng was filled with emotions.  Ten years ago, it was here that he was forced to be considered a descendant of the Wei family by Wei Zhongxian, who was still called Li Jinzhong at that time; but now, he will be eliminated from the Wei family by Wei Zhongxian here again.  The house is still the same as it was back then, but the trees are no longer the trees they were in the past.  I remember that the saplings that were as thick as a child¡¯s arm were planted in the courtyard back then, but now they are all tall and tall.  In order to encourage Zhu Youcheng to work hard to grow taller when he was young, Aunt Wei also carved a mark on the tree, which was his height at that time.  Now, although Zhu Youcheng is extremely tall, he can no longer catch up with that high trace.  Trees are like this, how can people be embarrassed?  Ten years have taken away so much joy and left so many memories.  Now, because of the accidental arrest of a human trafficker, the family ties he was already familiar with were cut off ruthlessly. ?????????????????? It¡¯s true that ¡°this feeling can only be remembered in retrospect, but it was already at a loss at the time.¡±  Zhu Youcheng stood outside the door for a long time, but never opened the door.  He didn¡¯t dare to push the door, as if with this push, the most beautiful thing in his heart would be shattered immediately.  "Master Zhu, it's autumn now, and the night is cold and dew heavy. I'm afraid you might catch a cold if you stand outside for a long time." The servant who invited him urged.  After saying this, the servant stepped forward, opened the door, and waved his hand as if to greet guests.  Coming in late or early, you have to go in after all. Zhu Youcheng made a move and stepped into the living room.  Seeing the powerful traitor Wei Zhongxian, Zhu Youcheng couldn't help but be surprised. Is the bitter old man in front of him the same Wei Zhongxian who was so high-spirited an hour ago?  "You're here, sit down." Zhu Youcheng sat down next to Wei Zhongxian in silence.  "Little monkey Li Yongzhen has probably told you the matter. You are not a descendant of the Wei family." "Grandpa Wei, I do know about this matter, but it is not a secret from Eunuch Li. I have my own channels." "Come on."  Well, don't forget, our Admiral Dongchang, what can the world hide from our family? Zhu Youcheng, you are still as enthusiastic as before. It is his luck to have you as a friend.  Forget it, I should have informed you about this so that you could be prepared. Don¡¯t worry, why are you not a descendant of the Wei family?¡±  He sighed.  At this moment, a woman hurriedly walked in, it was Wei Honglian.  Zhu Youcheng stood up.  Said: "Mother Wei, why are you here?" Wei Honglian was startled and said with a wry smile: "You already know?" Zhu Youcheng nodded and said: "This matter has become famous in the streets. I am not deaf, how could this happen?  Don't you know?" Wei Honglian's smile seemed to be more bitter, and she said, "Yes, you should know." Zhu Youcheng felt sad when he saw her walking in a hurry, and asked, "Mother Wei, are you here for this?"  To be honest, the reason why Zhu Youcheng accepted Wei Zhongxian as his grandfather was entirely because of Wei Honglian.  Wei Honglian¡¯s care and love made him feel a maternal love that he had never felt in his entire life.  " If Wei Honglian came in a hurry today just to draw a clear line with him, then Zhu Youcheng would be hit twice as hard.  In contrast, he seems to be more willing to accept the gradual alienation of "no contact until old age and death".  Wei Honglian nodded, then shook her head.  She said: "I'm worried that Cheng'er-Master Zhu will have a conflict with my father. You two are strong-willed people who are easy to go to extremes. If you quarrel, it will be troublesome. To be honest. Although Master Zhu has nothing to do with the Wei family,  We are related by blood, but how is our behavior different from that of the Wei family? I really hope that the guy who drowned in the water is the one who told the secret, so that Chenger will always be a member of the Wei family." Zhu Youcheng smiled lightly and said:  "I will not have a conflict with Eunuch Wei. It's not that I'm afraid of Eunuch Wei. After all, although I don't have any real power in the court, after all, I have the positions of director of the two academies here, and there are many students. It's really  If we fight, I may not be completely at a disadvantage. ¡°It¡¯s just two tigers fighting.  There must be an injury.  Although Eunuch Wei was just a eunuch, he was thick-skinned and courageous. More importantly, he was loyal enough to serve the emperor to the best of his ability.  We fight with each other, and no matter who is injured, it is an unbearable loss for the emperor.  " Wei Zhongxian coughed and said: "Master Zhu, although the truth is easy to tell, it is not easy to hear.  You know what kind of people our family is, and you don¡¯t need to say it again.  ¡± Zhu Youcheng felt a little sad.?This is now. If it were in the past, if he had said these words, Wei Zhongxian might have boasted about his ability to recognize people.  Zhu Youcheng shook his head, got rid of those distracting thoughts, and continued: "Although Zhu is reckless, he understands the severity and will try his best to be patient. However, Zhu also has his own persistence. Sometimes he may have disagreements with Eunuch Wei in the court.  Please forgive me, Mr. Wei." Wei Zhongxian nodded and said, "It's not like our family has never learned about Mr. Zhu's personality. Well, our family doesn't tolerate even a word of 'no' from others, since Mr. Zhu said so.  , then just listen to it occasionally." Zhu Youcheng sighed inwardly, without the ties of family ties, Wei Zhongxian still acted like a powerful traitor.  "Listen to me once in a while", I'm afraid those who follow me will prosper, and those who go against me will perish.  After a moment of silence, Wei Zhongxian said: "To be honest, when we first learned that Master Zhu had nothing to do with my Wei family, our family was very angry and thought that Master Zhu was a shameless person who pretended to be a descendant of our family for the sake of glory and wealth.  " Wei Honglian hurriedly explained: "When we met Zhu Youcheng, Mr. Zhu always denied it, saying that he had nothing to do with us. On the other hand, we were in a hurry to get married, so we had no choice but to say "Mother".  Since then, Lord Zhu has been calling me ¡®Mama Wei¡¯ and you ¡®Grandpa Wei¡¯, and his alienation has been clearly revealed. ¡°As for prosperity and wealth, Lord Zhu does not rely on our Wei family. On the contrary, he has also helped the Wei family a lot.  .  Like me, an ordinary woman who has no influence over the Ming Dynasty, has also been granted the title of a fifth-grade imperial concubine.  Why?  Isn't it because the old Emperor Wanli thought that Zhu Youcheng was a child and could not climb too high at once, so he attributed his achievements to me.  "And dad, you are even more grateful for Master Zhu's life. If Master Zhu hadn't led the imperial guards into the Forbidden City at night and persuaded the current emperor, would you still be sitting here and blaming Master Zhu? "What's even more commendable is that,  When Mr. Zhu officially recognized me as his mother and you as his grandfather, it was the time when you all betrayed your relatives.  This fact proves that Mr. Zhu has no mentality of clinging to the dragon and the phoenix.  "Yes, it is precisely because I wanted to understand this that I did not regard Zhu Youcheng as an enemy and add insult to injury" "To add insult to injury, does Wei Eunuch think that I, Zhu Youcheng, am in the well?"  " "Don't Master Zhu know?  "Wei Zhongxian looked surprised and said, "The pile of memorials to impeach you in the court is as high as a hill.  Although there are some big officials impeaching you, you still can't deal with them, because they are censors and can hear the news.  " "Are they crazy?  I have been suppressing bandits in the southwest recently, and I have not provoked the censor in the capital?  " "It's not like you don't know the current situation of Ming Dynasty. If you do more, you will make more mistakes, but if you don't do more, you will be better.  Because you had a smooth war, you captured An Bangyan first and then She Chongming. These two great achievements are the biggest crimes.  If the censors don¡¯t impeach you, who else can they impeach?  " "Fortunately, I have already reported the matter to the emperor about the southwest. In addition, "the general is outside, and the emperor's orders are not accepted," so they can't impeach me.  It's not a big deal to be cruel and violent. This level of impeachment is like scratching an itch for me.  " "What if you are impeached for setting up an army to rob people's daughters, snatching other people's unmarried wives, building a city privately, and intending to commit rebellion?  " Zhu Youcheng jumped up and shouted: "Who is full of nonsense?  Jinyiwei did not commit any crime during the march, and was praised by the people along the way.  As for the city, when will I build the city?  Even if I wanted to rebel, I would still have to build a city outside Beijing. What kind of city could I build in Guizhou, a place where birds don¡¯t poop?  " Wei Zhongxian's eyes flashed, and he said: "Master Zhu, be careful, you can just say this here. If you say it outside, it will help those people verify the authenticity of their bullets and seals.  " Zhu Youcheng was surprised and said: "Why did Eunuch Wei say this?  " "Because the city you built is on the outskirts of Beijing.  "Zhu Youcheng is a smart man, and he can tell the truth." He said: "Are you saying that Jingxi Huangzhuang has now become a city?"  " Wei Zhongxian nodded. Zhu Youcheng rubbed his temples with his hands and sighed: "Qin Ke, Qin Ke, I just fulfilled your wish to rebuild the Imperial Mansion in the west of Beijing, but you actually turned the Imperial Mansion into a city!  Your construction speed is a bit too fast, isn't it? It's only been a few months?  " Zhu Youcheng stood up, cupped his hands and said, "Eunuch Wei, I'm leaving.  I have to rush to Jingxi Huangzhuang for an on-site inspection.  Otherwise, when I go to court tomorrow and I know nothing about this matter, I will definitely suffer a big loss.  " Wei Zhongxian said: "It is already night and the city gate is closed. It will be difficult for you to get out of the city.  If someone knows about it, the truth will be revealed.  Why don't you ask for leave tomorrow and not go to court? It won't be too late to go to court after the investigation is clear.  Are you from Sichuan?After coming all the way, the journey was bumpy, so it is only natural for people to rest for three to five days.  However, this matter is of great importance, and I'm afraid it will not be easy for you to escape.  " Zhu Youcheng thought about it right and had to give up the idea of ??leaving the city overnight. Wei Zhongxian smiled, but the smile was somewhat bitter. He said: "I heard from my servant that you gave me half a car of gifts.  It's rude to come and go without reciprocating, so our family will also give you a gift.  " As soon as Wei Zhongxian, a powerful traitor, took out the gift he gave to Zhu Youcheng, Zhu Youcheng, a tough-blooded young man who had seen thousands of troops siege a city, couldn't help but be shocked.
