Wang Yue was over seventy years old, but his steps were extremely steady. He strode up to Zhu Houzhao, stared at Qin Kan with a sinister look, and then knelt down to Zhu Houzhao meticulously.
"Your Highness, please forgive me for being so arrogant. More than ten Shaoxing weavers were killed. This case alarmed the scholars in the south of the Yangtze River. Du Hong was the main culprit behind the scenes. Dongchang took over the case and is about to interrogate it severely. How can Your Highness indulge in selfish interests and ignore the laws of the country?"
Zhu Houzhao stayed for a moment, his young face gradually turned red, and even his tone became rare and solemn: "Wang Yue, are you teaching me a lesson?"
Wang Yue kowtowed to the ground, causing little drops of blood to ooze from his forehead, but his expression was extremely determined.
"Your Majesty's words are serious, how can this old slave dare to teach His Majesty a lesson? Just because this old slave bears the important responsibility of Your Majesty, not only commanding the East Factory, but also serving as the Chief of Ceremonies of the Inner Court. He was specially driven by Your Majesty. The murder of the Shaoxing weaver has become a public case. Everyone knows that the prisoner Du Hong has serious suspicions. If he is released, the court will discuss it and the scholars will denounce it. The old slave will be the eternal sinner of the Ming Dynasty. Your Highness, it is not pity for the old slave to die with his broken body, but he cannot afford it. Your Highness, please think twice about the reputation that brings embarrassment to Tianjia¡¯s reputation.¡±
The words were thoughtful, but the meaning of rejection was very obvious. Qin Kan knew just by looking at the expression on Wang Yue's face that even if Zhu Houzhao used his status as the prince to pressure Wang Yue today, Wang Yue would definitely not let Du Hong go.
Fortunately, Qin Kan had no hope at all. Without hope, there would be no disappointment.
Zhu Houzhao had given the order before, but was pushed back by Wang Yue's words, which were neither soft nor firm. He suddenly felt extremely shameless. Over the years, he had been lectured and reprimanded by the bachelors of Chunfang every day. They never regarded him as a prince, but instead Like Sun Tzu, even the slaves in the palace did not take his words seriously today. Zhu Houzhao was angry.
"What if I insist on releasing Du Hong?" Zhu Houzhao said coldly.
Wang Yue kowtowed again and said solemnly: "Your Highness insisted on doing it. Of course, I didn't dare to stop you, so I had to say goodbye to Your Highness. I forgive you that I can no longer serve Your Majesty and Your Highness. I crashed to death at the prison gate." forward."
Zhu Houzhao was stunned for a moment, speechless.
He did not expect Wang Yue to have such a strong temper. Normally, eunuchs would die, but Wang Yue could not die. This old eunuch had been through four dynasties, and he was fairly fair and self-disciplined. His father also respected him very much and often jokingly called him the "Deputy Prime Minister of the Inner Court". Just from this title, we know how much his father relies on him. If Zhu Houzhao forces Wang Yue to death today, his father will definitely not let him go. And the words of a foolish prince forcing an upright eunuch of the inner court to death are tantamount to throwing a bullet in the court. The next bomb, Zhu Houzhao will be scolded to death by ministers and officials who are more energetic than a twenty-year-old virgin.
This is the Ming Dynasty, where the prince is the most respected person. Some things cannot be done just as he wants. The balance of power and mutual control between the monarch and his ministers have become very mature. No one can destroy this balance, not even the prince.
This is an era when emperors and princes cannot do whatever they want. If there were non-governmental organizations that were not afraid of death and conducted a social survey on who was the happiest in the Ming Dynasty, they would be surprised to find that the happiest profession in the world was not the emperor, but the censor. Because in this profession, you can be scolded and beaten whenever you want. In the name of justice and integrity, you can act without any taboos. Even if you are beaten and scolded, you can win the applause of the whole house. Even the emperor has to hold his nose and praise you for your good beating and good scolding. From now on, you will continue to maintain your true character, and you will not give me face even if you are scolded or scolded lightly
Compared with the famous official Yan Guan, those who were born into the Ming Emperor's womb are definitely not blessed with good fortunes. They may have committed sins in their previous lives, and God wants them to be punished in this life. The Ming Emperor's longevity is very rare, and this is probably the reason. Monarchy and ministerial power. It's a tie. You have to live such a miserable life as the emperor, and no one else would live long.
The atmosphere in front of the prison gate was gloomy, and the air seemed to have solidified.
Zhu Houzhao's eyes were fixed on Wang Yue, and the rapid rise and fall of his chest clearly told everyone present that the prince was very angry, and the consequences were not serious, because the prince had nothing to do with Wang Yue.
Qin Kan had to come out to smooth things over.
He has no good impression of Wang Yue, but the conflict between Zhu Houzhao and Wang Yue cannot be aroused. Once the matter reaches the Supreme Court, more and more unpredictable factors will be involved in Du Hong's case, and the possibility of rescuing him will become lower and lower. His mother-in-law and Du Yan were eagerly waiting for him, the mainstay, to turn the tide, but he couldn't afford to take the risk.
"Your Highness, please calm down. The prince has no choice but to do so. After all, this case involves more than a dozen lives and has long been known to the public. If we do not investigate clearly, we will not be able to silence the world. The unreasonable release of Du Hong will definitely damage His Highness's reputation." Qin Kan bowed. road.
Zhu Houzhao said coldly: "This is not the only thing I'm fighting about now. The inner court is becoming more and more unruly due to being spoiled by my father. Don't forget who gave you the majesty of your palace!"
? ?p; "The operation is very simple, don't you want to try it? Your Highness can do it with just one finger. Look, put your index finger on the trigger of the crossbow, yes, just like that pull it back hard!"
Following Qin Kan¡¯s confusing teachings, Zhu Houzhao actually pulled the trigger as if he was obsessed with it
The crossbow vibrated, and with a whoosh, a black, featherless crossbow arrow flew out, followed by a shrill scream, and countless anxious shouts: "Eunuch Zhang, Eunuch Zhang has been hit by an arrow! Quick, protect the factory owner!"
Qin Kan rubbed his hands excitedly, raised his thumb towards Zhu Houzhao, and sincerely praised: "A hundred steps can pierce a poplar, a hundred steps can pierce a poplar, Your Highness!"
There was chaos outside. Zhu Houzhao stared at his hands blankly, and then glared at Qin Kan with great condemnation.
