The strongest devouring system in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 514 Advice

"Wei Zhongxian, who do you think you are? What right do you have to arrest me and throw me in prison? I think you're really tired of living. Let me give you a piece of advice!"

"Don't ever imagine yourself to be so great, or you probably won't even know how you died!" Chen Er's words caused Wei Zhongxian's face to contort in disgust.

Wei Zhongxian was well aware that Chen Er was deliberately trying to anger him, so he couldn't help but try to calm himself down.

Never get angry with someone like that, or you'll ruin your health and no one will be there to take your place.

Therefore, Wei Zhongxian didn't even glance at Chen Er, but instead started chatting with the Empress Dowager. Wei Zhongxian knew that the Emperor and Chen Er were now on the same side.

To put it bluntly, they wanted to take action against him, which was something Wei Zhongxian didn't want to see. So, Wei Zhongxian's most important task now was to persuade the Empress Dowager.

"As long as the Empress Dowager is willing, even if the Emperor were to speak out against the heavens, Wei Zhongxian would not be in any danger," Zhang Xingchen said in a low voice after glancing at Chen Er with a puzzled look.

"You say the Emperor won't lay a hand on me? I simply don't believe it."

If he were to offend Chen Er again by accident, he would really be unable to stay in the court. Chen Er was also helpless and did not know what to do.

Actually, this whole thing was because of the Emperor. To put it bluntly, if the Emperor had been more forceful in his actions, this wouldn't have happened.

Therefore, Chen Er also felt that the Ming Dynasty was about to end. Just when Chen Er didn't know what to do, Wei Zhongxian suddenly spoke up.

"Your Majesty, how about this? Why don't we hand over all our command of the war effort to Zhang Xingchen? That should be fine, right? Once we give it to Zhang Xingchen, we'll all be much more relaxed."

Wei Zhongxian's words sparked a flurry of discussion among those around him.

"I think this is a good idea. The Emperor wants to give it to Zhang Shaoqing, and Wei Zhongxian wants to give it to Zhang Xingchen, so why not give it to Zhang Xingchen?"

Chen Er glanced at the Emperor, and the two nodded in unison.

In Chen Er's opinion, this method was quite appropriate. In fact, there was no difference between handing it over to Zhang Shaoqing and handing it over to Zhang Xingchen, since he had a better relationship with Zhang Xingchen.

In fact, Chen Er forgot that a person can always change, especially an honest and simple man like Zhang Xingchen.

"Those most easily lost in the clash of power," the Emperor coughed and asked Chen Er.

"How about we leave it at that for now, let Zhang Xingchen take control of the battle, and then we'll do everything we can to sideline him?"

The emperor spoke very softly, so softly that only Chen Er could hear him.

In fact, Chen Er felt there was no need to do so, since Zhang Xingchen held the power of the battle, and he could do it based on his relationship with Zhang Xingchen.

"Your Majesty, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's see if Wei Zhongxian is willing to hand over the power of the Eastern Depot to Zhang Xingchen. Anyway, I feel that this damned eunuch is not so kind and is definitely still brewing some kind of conspiracy."

In fact, Chen Er was absolutely right. Wei Zhongxian, as an old fellow, had seen it all. To put it bluntly, he probably had walked more roads and eaten more salt than the Emperor and Chen Er combined.

So when the Emperor and Chen Er made this suggestion together, Wei Zhongxian knew what these two were up to. After hearing what Chen Er said, the Emperor temporarily made up his mind.

"Alright, Zhang Xingchen has taken control of all the battle command. Of course, this control comes with conditions: the soldiers must be well-trained and the team must not be allowed to become lazy."

"This is not good for the development of the Ming Dynasty, so Zhang Xingchen, we'll see how you perform from now on."

Zhang Xingchen was overjoyed. Although he disliked the emperor, he felt that the emperor had been alright this time.

Zhang Xingchen was unaware that she had gotten herself into a mess. She lay on the ground with a smile on her face.

"Your Majesty, I will certainly take good care of myself and train these three warrior teams well. I will definitely not let Your Majesty down. I ask Your Majesty and all the civil and military officials to witness the miracle together!"

The emperor felt it was about time, so he went back to rest.

As the Empress Dowager was leaving, she glanced at Zhang Xingchen, seemingly casually, and said, "Zhang Xingchen, when you have some free time, come and visit the inner palace. I have something to tell you, do you hear me?"

Zhang Xingchen dared not disobey the Empress Dowager's words.

Although Zhang Xingchen now commands three very powerful warrior teams, he only has a superficial grasp of them and has not yet infiltrated them.

Therefore, if Wei Zhongxian were willing, it would only take a word to temporarily dismantle his own case.

"If the Empress Dowager has something to tell me, then I will certainly do my duty without hesitation." After Chen Er and Zhang Xingchen watched the Empress Dowager leave, Chen Er patted Zhang Xingchen on the shoulder.

"Brother, it's all up to you from now on. As long as you keep these three battle groups firmly in your hands, let's see how arrogant Wei Zhongxian can be then."

Chen Er said excitedly, but Zhang Xingchen sighed.

"Chen Er, you don't know Wei Zhongxian's team. It's not easy to manage. Wei Zhongxian currently only has one of the Five Tiger Generals in control of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, named Ma Tiantao."

"This guy is even more extraordinary. I heard he's a distant relative of Wei Zhongxian. I wonder what Wei Zhongxian is planning this time?"

Zhang Xingchen felt a little scared when he mentioned Ma Tiantao, after all, Ma Tiantao was a man who killed people without hesitation.

Moreover, I heard that before he joined the imperial court, he was a very famous bandit. Such a person simply doesn't care about human life.

So Zhang Xingchen knew that it wouldn't be easy to win this battle well. Chen Er could also see it, and Zhang Xingchen was worried.

"Brother, it's just Ma Tiantao. Don't take him seriously. If Ma Tiantao goes too far, come to me and see how I deal with him."

As the two were talking, Zhang Shaoqing also came over and clasped his hands in a fist salute to Zhang Xingchen.

“Zhang Xingchen, the Ming Dynasty is now in your hands. It’s time for us older generation to step back and take over. It’s the era of you young people now.”

Zhang Shaoqing showed no disappointment, nor did he fly into a rage because he did not obtain the right to fight.

Zhang Shaoqing knew that he was getting on in years, and that the Emperor had shown him some respect once, and that the Emperor and Chen Er had already made an effort.
