Zhu Youcheng was deeply moved when he entered Wei Zhongxian's mansion located in Tieshizi Hutong.

Ten years ago, it was here that he was called Li Jinzhong, and he was forced to think of the descendants of the Wei family. But now, he will be removed from the Wei family by Wei Zhongxian.

The house is still the same as the house of the past, but the tree is no longer the tree of the past.

I remember that the saplings as thick as children's arms were planted in the house, and now they are as tall as a cover.

In order to motivate Zhu Youcheng to grow taller when he was young, Aunt Wei also carved a trace on the tree, which was his height back then.

Although Zhu Youcheng is now extremely tall, he can no longer catch up with the trace of being tall.

Trees are still like this, how can people bear it?

Ten years of experience have taken away so much joy and left behind so many memories. Now, because of the accidental arrest of a human trafficker, he has ruthlessly cut off his familiar family affection.

Alas, it’s really “this love can be remembered but it was already lost at that time.”

Zhu Youcheng stood outside the door for a long time, but he never opened the door.

He didn't dare to push the door, as if by pushing, the most beautiful thing he had treasured in his heart would be immediately shattered.

"Mr. Zhu, it's already autumn, and the night is cold and dew is heavy. I'm afraid I'll catch a cold when I've been standing outside." The servant who invited him urged.

After saying that, the servant stepped forward, pushed open the door, and waved his hand to make a stern gesture.

If you go in late and early, you will have to go in eventually. Zhu Youcheng made up his mind and stepped into the living room.

When Zhu Youcheng saw the powerful traitor Wei Zhongxian, he was shocked. Is the old man with a bitter face in front of him the energetic Wei Zhongxian an hour ago?

"You're here, sit down."

Zhu Youcheng sat down speechlessly next to Wei Zhongxian.

"Li Yongzhen, the monkey boy, probably told you the matter. You are not a descendant of the Wei family."

"Grandpa Wei, I do know about this, but it is not Eunuch Li's secret announcement. I have my own channels."

"Come on, don't forget, our admiral Dongchang, what can we hide from our family? Zhu Youcheng, you are as enthusiastic as before. You can get a knife for your friend. It is his luck to make you a friend. Forget it, you should have notified you to make preparations. I won't blame Li Yongzhen for your fault. Don't worry. Oh, why are you such a good person not descendants of the Wei family?"

The two of them sighed deeply at the same time.

At this moment, a woman hurriedly walked in. It was Wei Honglian.

Zhu Youcheng stood up and said, "Mom Wei, why are you here?"

Wei Honglian was stunned and smiled bitterly, "Did you already know?"

Zhu Youcheng nodded and said, "This incident has caused a lot of news. I am not deaf, so why don't you know?"

Wei Honglian's smile seemed to be even more bitter, and she said, "Yes, I should know."

Seeing her in a hurry, Zhu Youcheng felt sad and asked, "Mama 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 the maternal love that he had never felt in his two lives.

If Wei Honglian had arrived in a hurry today just to draw a clear line with him, then Zhu Youcheng's blow would be doubled.

In comparison, he seems to be more willing to accept the gradual alienation of "not interacting with each other when they are old and die".

Wei Honglian nodded and shook her head again.

She said, "I'm worried that Cheng'er - Lord Zhu and his father have a conflict. You both are strong people, easy to go to extremes, and it will be troublesome if they quarrel. To be honest, although Lord Zhu has no blood relationship with the Wei family, what is the difference between being a person and the Wei family? I really hope that the guy who was drowned in the water is the one who told the secret, so Cheng'er will always be a member of the Wei family."

Zhu Youcheng smiled faintly and said, "I won't have a conflict with Eunuch Wei. This is not because I am afraid of Eunuch Wei. In short, although I don't have any real power in the court, the positions of the two colleges and departments are here, and there are many students. If I really want to fight, I may not be completely at a disadvantage.

"But two tigers fight each other, there will be one injury. Although Eunuch Wei is just a eunuch, he is thick-skinned and brave. More importantly, he is loyal enough to bow to the emperor. We fight each other, no matter who is injured, it will be an unbearable loss for the emperor."

Wei Zhongxian coughed and said, "Mr. Zhu, although it is easy to tell the truth, it doesn't sound good. I know what kind of person we are, you don't have to say it again."

Zhu Youcheng was a little sad. This is now. If it were the past, Wei Zhongxian might have praised his wisdom in knowing people.

Zhu Youcheng shook his head, shook off those distracting thoughts, and then said, "Although Zhu is reckless, he knows the importance of the matter and will try to endure it as much as possible. However, Zhu also has his own persistence. Sometimes he may disagree with Eunuch Wei in the court. Please ask Eunuch Wei Haihan at that time."

Wei Zhongxian nodded and said, "Mr. Zhu's personality has not been experienced by our family. Well, our family couldn't hear anyone else say "no". Since Mr. Zhu said that, let's listen to it occasionally."

Zhu Youcheng sighed in his heart that without the ties of family affection, Wei Zhongxian still acted like a treacherous person. "I hear it occasionally", I am afraid that 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 Lord Zhu had nothing to do with my Wei family, our family was very angry and thought that Lord Zhu was a shameless person and pretended to be our descendants for the sake of glory and wealth."

Wei Honglian hurriedly explained: "When we recognized Zhu Youcheng, Lord Zhu always denied that he had nothing to do with us. Instead, we rushed to get close to others. In helplessness, Lord Zhu shouted "Mom". Since then, Lord Zhu kept calling me "Mom Wei" and called you "Grandpa Wei". His distant feelings are undoubtedly revealed.

"As for wealth and honor, Lord Zhu doesn't rely on our Wei family. On the contrary, he helped the Wei family a lot. For example, I, an ordinary woman, was not in the Ming Dynasty, and was also named a fifth-rank lady. Why? It was not that the old emperor of Wanli thought that Zhu Youcheng was a child and could not climb too high all at once, so he converted his contribution to me.

"You are also Daddy, and you have been given the life of Lord Zhu. If Lord Zhu hadn't led the Jinyiwei into the Forbidden City at night and persuaded the current emperor, could you still sit here and accuse Lord Zhu?

"What is even more commendable is that when Lord Zhu officially recognized me as his mother and you were grandfather, it was the time when you betrayed your relatives and relatives. This proves that Lord Zhu has no mentality of climbing the dragon and tycoon."

"Yes, it is precisely because I understand this that I did not regard Zhu Youcheng as an enemy and put a deception..."

"Does Eunuch Wei think that I, Mr. Zhu, are in the well?"

"Don't Lord Zhu know?" Wei Zhongxian said with a look of surprise, "The memorials for impeaching you in the court are as high as a hill. Although they are all officials with great sesame and green beans that impeach you, you can't deal with them yet, because they are the censors and can be heard from the news."

"Are they crazy? I have been suppressing bandits in the southwest recently and have not provoked the censor of the capital?"

"You don't know the current situation of the Ming Dynasty. You do more and make more mistakes, but don't do well. Because you fight smoothly, you will first arrest An Bangyan and then arrest 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 to the emperor about the southwest. In addition, 'they are not allowed to be impeached by the emperor's orders.' They cannot impeach me. It's great that I am cruel and violent, and it's no big deal. I'm so impeached of this level of impeachment is like tickling me at most."

"What if you impeach your soldiers to rob a villain, rob someone else's wife who has not passed away, build a city privately, and intend to rebel, what if you do?"

Zhu Youcheng jumped up and shouted, "Who is this nonsense that is full? The Jinyiwei is completely unfair on the march and is praised by the people along the way. As for the city, when will I build the city? Even if I want to rebel, I have to build the city outside Beijing City, and run to the place where birds do not shit in Guizhou to build the bird city."

Wei Zhongxian's eyes flashed and he said, "Mr. Zhu, be careful. Just say this to me. If you go outside, it will help those people verify the authenticity of their stamp."

Zhu Youcheng said in surprise: "Why did Eunuch Wei say this?"

"Because the city you built is located in the outskirts of Beijing."

Zhu Youcheng is a smart person, and he can understand it at all.

He said: "You mean that Jingxi Huangzhuang has now become a city?"

Wei Zhongxian nodded.

Zhu Youcheng rubbed his temples with his hands and sighed: "Qinke, Qinke, I just fulfill your wish to rebuild the imperial village in Xijing. You actually changed the imperial village into a city! Your construction speed is too fast, just a few months?"

Zhu Youcheng stood up and bowed and said, "Eunuch Wei, I've said goodbye. I have to rush to the imperial village in Jingxi to conduct an on-site inspection. Otherwise, I will go to court tomorrow and I will know nothing about this matter and will definitely suffer a great loss."

Wei Zhongxian said: "It's already night now, and the city gate is closed, so it's not easy for you to leave the city. If someone knows it, you'll just say it. It's better if you take leave tomorrow and don't go to court. It's not too late to go to court after investigation. You'll come from Sichuan thousands of miles away, and it's a natural habit to take a break for three or five days. However, this matter is of great importance, so it's not easy for you to get out."

Zhu Youcheng thought about it and had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​leaving the city overnight.

Wei Zhongxian smiled, but the smile was a little bitter.

He said, "I heard from the servants that you give me half a car of gifts. It is impolite to come but not to come. Our family will also give you a gift."

As soon as Wei Zhongxian, the traitor, took out the gift he gave to Zhu Youcheng, Zhu Youcheng, a iron-blooded boy who had seen thousands of troops besieged the city, was shocked. (To be continued.)
