If he really wants to hug the thick legs, then hug the thick legs of the eunuch Wang Chengen in the next day. Wait, Wang Chengen's legs seem to be not as thick as his. He is the most respected brother of Emperor Chongzhen.

The reason why he valued Wei Zhongxian was because Wei Zhongxian was the eunuch who was the master of the Ming Dynasty...

Although Wei Zhongxian was repeatedly slandered by the Donglin Party in history, Wei Zhongxian's talents could not be concealed in the smoke and dust of history.

In history, when Emperor Tianqi was reigned, there was no peasant uprising in the Ming Dynasty, and large-scale civil unrest occurred when Emperor Chongzhen, who was "all the kings of the country", was reigned. The country was still the same country, and the people were still the people. The difference was that one eunuch was missing, and one eunuch who had the ability to govern the country and was not afraid of being scolded.

Emperor Tianqi knew very well Wei Zhongxian's talent, so he held Emperor Chongzhen's hand before his death and told Chongzhen that he must use Wei Zhongxian more. This is not the emperor's retreat for the favored ministers, but the real delivery of capable ministers who govern the country to the successor emperor.

Unfortunately, Emperor Chongzhen did not listen to his brother and killed the capable eunuchs, allowing the Donglin Party to destroy the Ming Dynasty.

If Zhu Youcheng and Wei Zhongxian were related by blood and the two were in harmony, they could protect Wei Zhongxian, the Ming Dynasty white jade pillar, and build a purple gold beam.

On the contrary, if the two fight each other, judging from historical experience and their own temper, the fate of this tyrant must be not very good.

This is from a big perspective, and from a small perspective, Zhu Youcheng can't stand his personal relationship and has no blood relationship with Wei Zhongxian.

Zhu Youcheng is a stubborn person. Once he decides something, he can't even take it back.

In the 44th year of Wanli, Wei Zhongxian was still called Li Jinzhong at that time, and he rushed to catch up with Zhu Youcheng to catch up with relatives. However, Zhu Youcheng was poisoned by the Donglin Party at that time (the person who compiled "History of Ming Dynasty" was the Donglin Party who surrendered to Mi Qing), and refused to recognize each other.

Later, because of Wei Honglian's sad expression, he changed his name to Wei Honglian as Wei's mother and Wei Zhongxian as Grandpa Wei. Even so, he could tell the unfamiliarity in the name.

In the third year of Tianqi, Wei Zhongxian was besieged by the Donglin Party and was in danger. Other officials were busy drawing a clear line with Wei Zhongxian. But it was at that time that Zhu Youcheng felt Wei Honglian's full maternal love, but at this time he recognized his ancestors and returned to his hometown. He formally recognized Wei Honglian as his mother and Wei Zhongxian as his grandfather.

His experience of recognizing relatives is enough to prove that his relationship has never been for sale.

Three years have passed, and he has long regarded these two people as his true blood-connected relatives in the Ming Dynasty.

Now someone suddenly jumped out and said that he had nothing to do with these two people, he was a passerby. How could this make people feel sorry for?

Zhu Youcheng's hand was squeezed tightly, and with a "pop" sound, the teacup was crushed in half by him. The water in the teacup poured out and splashed on him, but he didn't realize it at all.

Liu Ruoyu called softly: "Mr. Zhu, Master Zhu..."

Zhu Youcheng suddenly woke up and threw the broken teacup on the ground, with a "slam".

The guards rushed in and asked, "Mr. Zhu. What happened?"

Zhu Youcheng waved his hand and said, "I slipped my hand for a while and didn't hold the teacup. You guys go out first, Eunuch Liu and I have something to say."

The guards retreated after hearing this.

Liu Ruoyu beat him up and said, "Mr. Zhu, I was shocked. I thought this was a cup thrower, and a group of swords and axe players would come in later."

Zhu Youcheng stood up and shook the water on his body.

He said, "I am not that bad. My viciousness is all aimed at the worms and rebellion of the Ming Dynasty. Eunuch Liu came to me to report the message to me, how could I hold a grudge against you? By the way, Eunuch Wei knows this."

Liu Ruoyu sighed: "Eunuch Wei doesn't know, Eunuch Li doesn't know, Eunuch Li doesn't know, and our family won't go this trip. I heard that this matter was handled by Tao Tao, the co-master of Hejian Prefecture. As soon as it was done, it would be reported to Eunuch Wei immediately. It seems that Eunuch Wei is going to take another little insurance policy."

Zhu Youcheng was silent for a long time and asked again: "Eunuch Li sent you here. Is there anything else to explain to me except telling me about this?"

Liu Ruoyu said: "This is the first thing, there is the second thing. There was no first thing. The second thing was not called a thing. Now that the first thing is the first thing, the second thing becomes a big thing."

Zhu Youcheng was almost confused by Liu Ruoyu's tongue-in-cheek words.

He waved his hand and signaled Liu Ruoyu to stop.

He said, "Eunuch Liu, I understand what you mean, just talk about it. I dare to break through with thousands of troops, are you still afraid of these trivial matters?"

"It's like this. Zhejiang Governor Pan Ruzhen established a sanctuary for Eunuch Wei. He burned incense in the morning and evening. Eunuch Wei was very happy and intended to promote him. The entire Ming Dynasty imitated and built a sanctuary for Eunuch Wei. In some places, even destroyed the Yasheng Temple (commemorating the Confucian sage Mencius) and the Dantai Temple (commemorating the Confucius student Dantai Mi Ming), and came to build the sanctuary of Eunuch Wei..."

Zhu Youcheng was furious, slapped the table, and shouted: "Where is the person coming!"

A group of guards came in outside the house. Zhu Youcheng took out a gold medal from his arms and said, "Send a few people to Zhejiang and use this sign to capture the Zhejiang governor to the East Factory!"

Liu Ruoyu glanced at the gold medal, hurriedly stopped him, and said, "It seems a bit inappropriate for you to use the factory's waist card to catch the factory's people."

Zhu Youcheng said: "This waist brand was originally given to me by Eunuch Wei, so I can do it cheaply, so why not?"

"This time, that time. Lord Zhu, please let the guards go out first. Let us make a long-term plan. Anyway, the sacred temple has been built, so there is no need to worry about whether to protect or destroy it."

Zhu Youcheng was so smart that he had figured out the joints and fell back to his seat weakly, waved his hand and asked the guards to go out.

Liu Ruoyu said: "Mr. Zhu, you used to be the blood of Eunuch Wei, so you could naturally take his token to do whatever you want. But now you have nothing to do with Eunuch Wei. If you move the token again, it will probably arouse Eunuch Wei's suspicion..."

"Yes, that trafficker is really not the time to appear..."

"Eunuch Li knew that Lord Zhu was Wen Zhuangyuan and a disciple of the saint, so he must be very disgusted with the demolition of the Saint Temple and building a temple. So he sent me to inform you, be patient and do not affect your relationship with Eunuch Wei because of some trivial matters. Master Zhu is responsible for the outside and the inside and outside of the Princess Wei, so that he can maintain the stability and unity of the Ming Dynasty's government."

Zhu Youcheng nodded and asked, "Where are the others in the court? They seem to be disciples of saints."

"Now the court has been quarreled. Many people have written to impeach officials who demolished temples and built temples, and even pointed the finger at Eunuch Wei. The emperor was so angry that he stole dozens of people in the court, and then he barely suppressed the matter."

The court battle is to strip the ministers naked and spank them. It is usually the best way for the emperor to vent his anger and civil servants to seek fame. It seems that Emperor Tianqi really favors this eunuch and publicly supports Wei Zhongxian in building a temple.

Speaking of this, Liu Ruoyu sincerely advised: "Mr. Zhu, although you are also a disciple of a saint, you must think twice about this matter. Today, Lord Chen from the Jinyiwei introduced me to your journey. Only then did I realize that there are still good ministers and generals in the Ming Dynasty. You and Eunuch Wei are the emperor's right-hand men. If you pursue this matter relentlessly and arouse Umbrella's suspicion, no matter who wins or loses, the emperor will lose one arm."

Zhu Youcheng sighed, "Who said it was not? But Eunuch Liu underestimated me. Although I am a disciple of a saint, I will not worship those clay puppets. Whether it is demolished or built, what does it have to do with me?"

"Then why were you so angry just now?"

"I'm also considering Eunuch Wei. You should have heard of the word "Present and Decline". Eunuch Wei is now in power and has always been in the limelight. It is inevitable that he will be overdoing things. Yes, the emperor favors him now, listens to him and follows all the plans, but what happens after losing his favor? These excessive things will become his crime of causing disaster. What's even more troublesome is that you know that building a temple for Eunuch Wei on such a large scale is a poisonous plan for the remnants of Donglin? Since there is a front move, there must be a later move. If I guess well, the linked poisonous plan behind it is enough to push Eunuch Wei to the point where he can never recover."

"A poisonous plan?"

"Have you heard of Liu Jin from Zhengde Dynasty? He is almost on par with Zhengde, a 'emperor', and he is no less popular than Eunuch Wei, why didn't he build a large-scale temple?"

Liu Ruoyu was shocked and murmured: "Mr. Zhu is really a traitor... Oh, no, he is far-sighted, and even such a sinister trick can be seen through. He is truly the one that the emperor and Eunuch Wei value."

Zhu Youcheng smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "I...I don't even know who I am. However, the fact that the temple was built and my life story always made me mind a little. Is this a coincidence or another mystery?" (To be continued.)
