Jinyi Town Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 780 Wei Zhongxian's Scheming
Two days later, in the back garden of Zhang Jing's outer house.

It is already night, and the willow twigs are on the moon.Zhang Jing sat opposite Wei Zhongxian.Zhang Jing raised his wine glass and said with a smile: "Zhongxian, now the emperor can't leave you for a moment. In the future, you will be a ceremonial supervisor to be a pen writer, and you may even take over my position as a palm print eunuch."

Wei Zhongxian said humbly: "The ability of slaves is limited. I already feel powerless to be the steward of Yongshou Palace. I have never dared to expect extravagantly to be a ceremonial supervisor."

Zhang Jing took a sip of wine: "Zhongxian, you really have the humility of an ancient gentleman. That's right, you suffer from harm, but you benefit from humility. To be honest, among the younger generation of eunuchs in the palace, you are the most Capable. Whether I, Wang An, or Chen Ju are all old, the burden of being the supervisor will be handed over to you sooner or later."

Wei Zhongxian said: "Eunuch Zhang said so, it makes the slaves feel ashamed."

Zhang Jing changed the subject: "It's just that. To take up the burden of being a supervisor, you must have a strong enough backer. What you lack now is such a backer."

Wei Zhongxian is very talkative with a glib mouth: "Eunuch Zhang treats me with great kindness, and you are always my biggest backer!"

Zhang Jing waved his hand: "Zhongxian, do you believe this when you say it out of your mouth? I am your backer? I am your backer's opponent! I don't have to say dark words in front of a wise person. You My godfather Wang An and I have always been at odds. Heh, Wang An is your backer now. But this backer is not strong enough. Do you want to know who is the most reliable backer?"

Wei Zhongxian said: "I would like to hear the details."

Zhang Jing said with a smile: "Among the concubines in the palace, who is the most favored?"

Wei Zhongxian replied: "Of course it is Concubine Zheng."

Zhang Jing clapped his hands: "Zhongxian, you are really a sensible person! Although Queen Wang is the mother of a country, she has long been neglected by the emperor. Concubine Zheng is the most favored in the palace! If you have Zheng As the backer of the noble concubine, are you afraid that you will not be able to enter the Sili Supervisor in the future?"

Wei Zhongxian knew in his heart that Zhang Jing had already started to lure him.

Wei Zhongxian deliberately pretended to be unmoved: "Eunuch Zhang. The reason why I was able to become the steward of Yongshou Palace was all due to the support of the prince. The prince was promoted by the queen. You let me down Concubine Xiang Zheng, isn't it the same as asking me to betray the queen?"

Zhang Jing stared at the bright moon in the sky: "Betrayal? So what? Humans don't care about loyalty. Loyalty is because the price offered by the other party is not high enough. As long as you help Concubine Zheng in the future, I can guarantee that in the future I will You are my successor after resigning from the post of Supervisor of Ceremonies."

Wei Zhongxian remained silent.

After the lure was over, Zhang Jing began to threaten again.He clapped his hands and said, "Come on, Rong Yun, pour wine for Eunuch Wei."

A ten-year-old maid came bouncing up to Wei Zhongxian and poured him a glass of wine. She said sweetly, "Eunuch Wei, please use it."

Wei Zhongxian glanced at the little girl, it didn't matter, he was stunned!

It is said that father and daughter are connected.When Wei Zhongxian sold his daughter to others as a child bride, she was still a baby.But seeing Zhang Rongyun's big flickering eyes, Wei Zhongxian was already sure that Zhang Rongyun was his long-lost daughter!

Zhang Jing coughed deliberately.Wei Zhongxian knew that he had lost his composure, and quickly turned his head: "Eunuch Zhang."

Zhang Jing told Zhang Rongyun: "Go down first."

Zhang Rongyun walked away bouncing.

Zhang Jing said with a smile: "Eunuch Wei, the little maid just now, can she still look like a juicy girl?"

Wei Zhongxian nodded slightly: "Yes."

A sinister smile suddenly emerged from the corner of Zhang Jing's mouth: "I entrusted someone to buy her at a high price in Suning County, Beizhili three years ago. I originally planned to take her as a food when she was 11 years old."

Wei Zhongxian quickly interjected: "Eunuch Zhang, she is still too young. It seems that she can't serve you, Eunuch Zhang."

Zhang Jing sneered: "Our eunuchs are looking for the right food, so they can only be used as decorations. They will play jade cucumbers at night. The big girl can use one size larger jade cucumbers, and the 11-year-old girl can use smaller jade cucumbers." !"

Wei Zhongxian's face turned ashen when he heard Zhang Whale's words that they were inferior to animals.

Zhang Jing said: "I don't know if Eunuch Wei likes this little girl. If I like it, I can give her to you as a maid."

Zhang Jing has already seen that Wei Zhongxian recognized his daughter.He is blackmailing Wei Zhongxian: If you betray Wang An and use it for me, I will reunite your father and daughter.If you don't listen to me, hehe, I will spoil your daughter!

Wei Zhongxian said nothing.

Zhang Jingdao: "I have always believed in a famous saying of ancient sages: if people do not do things for themselves, heaven and earth will destroy them! Zhongxian, if you help Concubine Zheng and me do things in the future, you will have a bright future. Oh, if you don't do things for me Use it. Then we are enemies. What will happen, you can think for yourself."

Wei Zhongxian pondered for a long time, and finally opened his mouth: "From now on, Zhongxian is willing to follow the example of Eunuch Zhang and Concubine Zheng."

Zhang Jing laughed: "He who understands the current affairs is a hero! A good bird chooses a tree to live in! Zhongxian, you are such a smart man! Come, come, drink this glass of wine, from now on we will be a family!"

The two raised their glasses.Zhang Jing drank it all in one gulp.Wei Zhongxian just took a sip.

Zhang Jing said again: "The thing Zheng Guifei most wants to do now is to let the third son of the emperor ascend the throne of the crown prince! To protect the third son of the emperor as the heir apparent, one must get rid of those behind the eldest son of the emperor! For example, He Liu , Chen Ju, Wang An!"

Wei Zhongxian looked sad: "Ah? Liu Ye, Eunuch Wang, and Eunuch Chen have treated me with great kindness. How can I harm them?"

Zhang Jing restrained his smile: "Oh? Since you can't be cruel, then we don't need to talk anymore! I'll go back to the house and let that little girl Rong Yun wait for me to sleep, and play with a newly bought green jade cucumber by the way. "

The veins on Wei Zhongxian's forehead bulged.He stood up suddenly: "You?!"

Zhang Jing said lightly: "What? Could it be that Eunuch Wei loves a little maid?"

Wei Zhongxian clenched his teeth, and almost said a word through the gaps between his teeth: "Slaves are all under the orders of Eunuch Zhang. I will punish anyone that Eunuch Zhang asks me to punish."

Zhang Jing laughed again: "Ha, that's right!"

For the next half hour, Wei Zhongxian always had a mournful expression on his face.

Three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.Wei Zhongxian bid farewell and left.

Just after leaving Zhang Jing's house, a sly smile suddenly flashed on Wei Zhongxian's bereaved face.

Wei Zhongxian laughed wildly in his heart: Zhang Jing, Zhang Jing!You got Fooled!Do you really think I care about my daughter?Oh, there are three kinds of unfilial piety, the greatest is having no descendants.If I cared about her, I wouldn't have sold her, cut off the roots of my descendants, and entered the palace as a eunuch!

Just now, I pretended to be threatened by you and succumbed to you, just to cheat your trust!

Let me help Concubine Zheng and the third son?You are the only one standing behind Concubine Zheng and the Third Prince!Concubine Gong and the eldest son of the emperor stood behind the queen, the cabinet members, the official group, Wang An, Chen Ju, and He Liu!
Do you think I'm that stupid?Don't sleep on the hot kang of the eldest son of the emperor, and run to the cold kang of the third son of the emperor to spend the night?

Oh, threaten me with my daughter?Compared with the prosperity, wealth and official career, what is a daughter?

Wei Zhongxian's chief bearer asked, "Eunuch, where are we going? Are we going back to the palace?"

Wei Zhongxian lowered his voice and said, "Go to the mansion of Prince Wang An."
