Chapter 43 Slap the Eunuch
On October 27th, when dawn broke out, Emperor Zhengde of the Ming Dynasty officially returned to the palace.
Before Zhu Houzhao got on the horse, the chief assistant of the cabinet, Liu Jian, the second assistant of the cabinet, Li Dongyang, and the third assistant of Xie Qian also appeared one after another in three days. Seeing that the three of them were tired, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but smile and said, "The three cabinet elders have worked hard these days!"
The chief assistant of the cabinet, Liu Jian, didn't know that Zhu Houzhao was sarcastic about him, so he nodded slightly and smiled: "With His Majesty's care, the empress is afraid!"
The second assistant Li Dongyang only smiled faintly: "Your Majesty, thank you for your hard work!"
Sanfu Xie Qian didn't say anything.
Zhu Houzhao didn't say anything more. When he saw that the officials of the Ministry of Rites said that he should start his journey, Liu Jin led his horse toward the Meridian Gate.
At this time, the sky has turned clear, and the gentle winter sunshine shines out from the thick clouds, leaving countless golden lights, which makes people feel warm.
The whole world became surprisingly quiet in an instant.
The civil and military officials have their own families to take a break and prepare to take off their inferior clothes and put on auspicious clothes tomorrow to pay mercy to Zhu Houzhao.
Therefore, at this time, those who followed Zhu Houzhao back to the palace were only officials.
Zhu Houzhao looked at the soldiers standing upright on both sides and smiled slightly. It was also quiet on the surface, but in fact he was not calm inside. He tightly pulled the reins with his hands, preparing to poke a half blade out of the dagger in his sleeve from time to time, and his eyes were also alert to look around like an eagle and falcon.
At this time, Guo Rong, the on-duty officer standing outside the Meridian Gate, was also standing aside, watching the appearance of Emperor Zhu Houzhao of the Ming Dynasty with a hint of respect.
Like most officers and soldiers, Guo Rong did have sincere respect and expectations for Zhu Houzhao at this moment, because it was Zhu Houzhao who sent Lumi that they bid farewell to hunger and ushered in hope.
However, at this moment, a soldier suddenly took off his cotton armor, held a wooden stick without a spear head, and suddenly rushed out toward the location where Zhu Houzhao was in the middle of the road!
Zhu Houzhao felt even more nervous and excited. He knew that next, he would no longer need to pretend to be a simple and deceptive look.
Zhu Houzhao was waiting for the sergeant to appear at this time and hurriedly gave Liu Jin a wink.
Liu Jin nodded, shouted and rushed out to the soldier: "There is an assassin, save the driver!"
The calm and orderly team suddenly became chaotic.
Wang Yue, the eunuch in charge of the seal, asked Zhang Zhao, the eunuch in charge of the seal of the imperial horse, directly: "What happened?"
"Son, go and have a look." Zhang Zhao, the eunuch in charge of the imperial horse, hurriedly ran over, and he was also very panicked, because he was responsible for the defense of the palace city. If there was indeed an assassination of the emperor, he would be the first to be inseparable!
At this time, Guo Rong happened to see the soldier coming towards him, and slashed him directly, cutting the soldier with a stick and his hands on the ground. For a moment, the soldier was in pain, but he turned around and smiled at Guo Rong, then took out a pill with his left hand and sent it to his mouth. Liu Jin also ran over and pinched the soldier's neck.
The soldier had already died, and he seemed very weak, and even died peacefully.
When Zhu Houzhao saw this scene, she felt relieved and hurriedly got off the horse and turned cold: "Where is the eunuch Zhang Zhao, the chief eunuch in charge of the imperial horse?
Zhang Zhao, the eunuch in charge of the imperial horse, also rushed over and asked loudly: "What happened? What happened?"
As he said that, Zhang Zhao, the eunuch in charge of the imperial horse, came to Zhu Houzhao and took photos of Zhu Houzhao's clothes: "Your Majesty, are you okay?"
Zhu Houzhao slapped Zhang Zhao, the eunuch in charge of the imperial horse, backhandedly, and slapped Zhang Zhao, in the face: "Dog slave! Who can give you the courage to pull my clothes? Kneel down!"
Zhang Zhao, the eunuch in charge of the imperial horse, was suddenly shocked. He did not expect that His Majesty the Emperor would suddenly be furious. He was completely different from his previous personality. He couldn't help but cover his painful face and hesitate whether to kneel down.
At this time, the eunuch Wang Yue, the chief of the Sili Supervisor, also rushed up. He was also surprised why the assassination suddenly occurred. He looked at the corpse blocking the middle of the road and was puzzled for a moment. However, when he heard Zhu Houzhao's order to kneel down, he knew that the emperor was the emperor at this time and some majesty could not be challenged. He also scolded Zhang Zhao: "The emperor wants you to kneel down and kneel down!"
Bang!
Zhu Houzhao slapped Wang Yue with his backhand: "Dog slave! Do you really think you are your ancestor! I want him to kneel down, but he doesn't kneel down. Do you have to ask you to kneel down before he can kneel down!"
Wang Yue was suddenly shocked!
What's going on?
Why is the emperor today very different from usual?
Why is so angry, and I don’t care about anything!
But the situation is stronger than others, and Zhu Houzhao is the emperor no matter how he says it is. Moreover, the cabinet ministers are not there at this time, so Wang Yue, the eunuch in charge of the seal of the Sili Supervisor, was also isolated and helpless at this time, and did not dare to challenge the majesty of Emperor Zhu Houzhao alone, so he had to kneel down:
"I dare not! I dare not call myself ancestors! I hope the emperor calms down!"
Zhu Houzhao saw that the eunuch Wang Yue, the eunuch in charge of the Sili, had five finger marks left on his face by being beaten, and he knelt on the ground, and felt very happy, thinking that he had only experienced the emperor's majesty.
However, Zhu Houzhao did not show any pride on the surface, nor did she let Wang Yue get up, but looked at Zhang Zhao coldly: "Why, don't you kneel down? You insist on killing you?"
Zhang Zhao, the eunuch in charge of the imperial horse, came to his senses only at this time. He endured the pain on his face and the sudden anger, and pretended to be panic and hurriedly knelt down: "I don't dare!"
"Just dare not!"
Zhu Houzhao said, and said to Liu Jin: "Ask him for me how he was the seal of the imperial horse supervisor, and even caused an assassin to appear in the Great Inner!"
Liu Jin hurriedly asked Zhang Zhaolai: "The emperor asked you, how did you use the seal of the imperial horse supervisor? It actually caused an assassin to appear in the big net!"
"Sister, I'm a servant!"
Zhang Zhao, the eunuch in charge of the imperial horse supervision, didn't know what to say for a moment, and then said: "Please give me a chance, I will definitely find out!"
"Useless stuff!"
Zhu Houzhao kicked Zhang Zhao, the eunuch in charge of the imperial horse, and said:
"Where is Mou Bin, the commander of the Jinyiwei?"
The eunuch and admiral of the East Factory standing next to him were surprised and wondered why the emperor directly asked Mou Bin, the commander of the Jinyiwei, to find himself, the admiral of the East Factory, to be the admiral of the East Factory.
However, before Lu He, the eunuch and the admiral of the East Factory, had time to react, the commander of the Jinyiwei, Mu Bin, had to appear here at Zhu Houzhao: "I am here!"
"I took Zhang Zhao's crown and sent him to the imperial prison! Strictly interrogate!"
Zhu Houzhao shouted coldly.
The commander of the Jinyiwei Metropolitan Commander Mou Bin did not expect the emperor to let him in the eunuch Zhang Zhao, the chief eunuch in charge of the imperial horse, and he was also very shocked, but at this moment, he could only shout for the order.
The eunuch Zhang Zhao, the chief eunuch in charge of the Royal Horse, did not beg for mercy, but was shocked, and felt more and more that all this was intended by the emperor.
When Wang Yue, the eunuch in charge of the Sili Supervisor, saw this scene, he knew in his heart that this was not an assassination case. It was obvious that the emperor wanted to control the situation deliberately set up by the inner court, and at the same time, he was secretly surprised that the emperor was a cunning emperor and was not really just bullied.
