Chapter 179: Redress
Zhu Youxiao saw Wei Zhongxian kneeling there, motionless and silent, he couldn't help but feel a little dissatisfied in his heart, and said coldly: "Wei Zhongxian, didn't you hear my words?" Do I need to repeat it again? β
As Zhu Youxiao's words fell, Wei Zhongxian came back to his senses, he looked up at Zhu Hao, he knew that this was Zhu Hao who began to fight back, but now he couldn't help but answer Zhu Youxiao's words, so he stammered and said: "This, uh, um, Hua Rong, uh commander, he that, now, is not in the Praetorian Guard!" β
Zhu Youxiao listened to Wei Zhongxian's stammering words, his brows were twisted into a pimple, he didn't know what the situation was, and he couldn't help but secretly say in his heart: "Could it be that Hua Rong left his post without permission?" β
Zhu Youxiao thought so, and said, "Wei Zhongxian! I ask you where Hua Rong is now? Did he leave his post without permission? You find him for me, and I will ask him for myself why he has betrayed my trust so much! β
As Zhu Youxiao's words were finished, Wei Zhongxian knelt on the ground motionless, and then took a deep breath and said, "Back to Your Majesty, this Hua Rong has been sent to the edict of the Fusi in Beizhen for interrogation by order!" β
Zhu Hao, who had been watching all this coldly, knew that his emperor's eldest brother must not know about Hua Rong, and at this moment he heard Wei Zhongxian still quibbling, saying that he was acting on orders, which immediately made him angry, and snorted coldly: "Father-in-law Wei, you are really so bold!" Your Majesty obviously doesn't know where Hua Rong is, but you said that you sent Hua Rong to the edict of Jinyiwei, and this king wants to ask whose order you are serving! You minion doesn't want to rebel, do you? β
Zhu Youxiao listened to Zhu Hao's scolding, and also came back to his senses, and snorted coldly: "Yes, King Xin is right, whose order are you serving?" Don't say you're on my orders! I didn't even know about it! β
After Wei Zhongxian finished saying Zhu Youxiao's words, he hurriedly kowtowed on the ground, and then said: "Back to Your Majesty, the slave does not dare to deceive Your Majesty, the slave is indeed following His Majesty's will, otherwise you will give the slave 800 guts, and the slave will not dare to do this!" β
Zhu Youxiao heard Wei Zhongxian say this, and immediately became furious, and a silver wine glass on the table fell to the ground, and snorted coldly: "Nonsense, when did I ever make such a will?" You slave is now getting more and more bold, not only fake the holy decree, but also dare to deceive me, I really can't pay attention to it now! β
Zhu Youxiao shouted as he spoke: "Someone! β
Zhu Hao saw that his emperor's eldest brother was moved to kill, and he couldn't help but secretly applaud in his heart, thinking in his heart: "Wei Zhongxian, Wei Zhongxian, you are really dead this time, the eldest brother wants to deal with you, even if you die ten times, no one will save you and cry out to you!" β
Before Zhu Youxiao's words were finished, Wei Zhongxian hurriedly spoke: "Your Majesty is angry! Please Your Majesty for the sake of the servants who have served Your Majesty for many years, let the servants finish speaking, if Your Majesty wants to kill the slaves at that time, the slaves will be willing to obey the law! β
Wei Zhongxian was in tears as he spoke, his snot was tearful, and his appearance was very miserable, Zhu Hao secretly said in his heart when he saw this: "This old pickled man has started to perform again, and now that the charge of bullying the monarch has been established, he doesn't think that he will be able to escape death in this way, right?" That's naΓ―ve! β
Zhu Hao thought like this, he was already in control, so he didn't pay attention to Wei Zhongxian's performance, but stood aside and watched all this coldly, saying nothing.
Zhu Hao didn't eat Wei Zhongxian's set, but Zhu Youxiao was extremely useful, with Wei Zhongxian's crying, Zhu Youxiao's face was a little unbearable, he took a deep breath, and then said: "Say it!" Listen! β
Wei Zhongxian listened to Zhu Youxiao's words, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, when you were in Linglong Pavilion the day before yesterday, the slave reported to you that the Dongchang banner probed and said that the commander of Hua Rong may have been corrupt and bribery, at that time, Your Majesty, you and the slave said that you were busy, let the slave take care of it, and the slave did not directly dispose of the commander Hua Rong for the sake of prudence, but first sent the commander of Hua Rong to Jinyiwei, and let Jinyiwei check whether there was any!" β
Zhu Youxiao listened to Wei Zhongxian's words, frowned slightly, and then said, "Is there such a thing? Why don't I remember anything? β
After listening to Zhu Youxiao's words, Wei Zhongxian hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, you have a lot of opportunities every day, you are overworked, maybe you forgot it for a while, you think about it again!" β
After Wei Zhongxian's words were finished, compared with Zhu Youxiao's deep doubts, Zhu Hao's heart was turbulent, because Zhu Hao remembered that it was clearly recorded in the history of the Ming Dynasty that when Wei Zhongxian's cholera was overrun, he took advantage of his current eldest brother to do carpenter work to report on major affairs of the court and government, but his eldest brother, who loves handicrafts, paid attention to it when he was doing work, but he was very concentrated, he thought Wei Zhongxian was chattering beside him, and he would generally say impatiently to let Wei Zhongxian watch it. Over time, Wei Zhongxian stopped reporting to himself, the emperor's eldest brother, many times, which was the source of Wei Zhongxian's single-handed control of the dynasty in the later period.
Zhu Hao thought about this record of the Ming History, and couldn't help but secretly say in his heart: "It seems that this thing recorded in the history books is true!" That's not a good sign! β
Although Zhu Hao felt bad, he couldn't interject at the moment, so he could only hope that his eldest brother would not remember this incident, and then beat the side drum himself, not only not to kill Wei Zhongxian this time, but also to let this old pickled person shed his skin, Zhu Hao thought about this, and looked at the expression of his eldest brother emperor.
Fortunately, Zhu Hao was not disappointed, after listening to Wei Zhongxian's words, Zhu Youxiao thought carefully for a while, then shook his head and said: "What you said, I really don't have any impression at all!" β
Zhu Hao heard his eldest brother say this, his heart was overjoyed, and he wanted to beat the side drum, but before Zhu Hao could say the words of the side drum, Wei Zhongxian opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty, the slave remembers, Mrs. Fengsheng was also present at that time, you can ask Mrs. Fengsheng, you will know that the slave is not lying!" β
Zhu Hao listened to Wei Zhongxian's words, and said secretly in his heart: "It's not good, why did you forget this slut?" This Ke and Wei Zhongxian are completely a pair of adulterers wearing a pair of pants, no matter whether the incident Wei Zhongxian said really happened or not, this slut will definitely say that there is such a thing, the key is that his eldest brother still trusts this slut, it seems that today is destined to return in vain! β
Zhu Hao couldn't help but feel a little gloomy thinking about these expressions in his heart, and sure enough, as Zhu Hao expected, Zhu Youxiao asked the Ke family to come over and consulted Wei Zhongxian about what he said, and the Hakka family really insisted that Wei Zhongxian had reported to Zhu Youxiao at that time.
After listening to Hakka's words, Zhu Youxiao's expression was a little embarrassed, and then he said to Wei Zhongxian: "Zhongxian! That, I'm blaming you, but I believe that Commander Hua Rong will not do anything to play with bribes, so you go and let Commander Hua Rong out! The safety in this palace, I still have to rely on Hua Rong's leadership! β
After Zhu Youxiao's words were finished, Wei Zhongxian hurriedly kowtowed and said, "The slave takes the order!" Then he turned around and looked.
Zhu Hao looked at this scene and said with a gloomy face: "Gonggong Wei doesn't need it, this king has already taken Commander Huarong out of the edict prison, and this king is afraid that if he waits until now, Commander Huarong may not have his life to live in this world!" β
Wei Zhongxian heard the dissatisfaction in Zhu Hao's words, but he didn't show anything on his face, but sneered: "The prince is wise, or the prince is far-sighted!" Slave admiration! β
After Zhu Hao's words were finished, Zhu Youxiao also felt the dissatisfaction in Zhu Hao's words, so he smiled awkwardly and said, "Brother Huang! You can't blame Zhongxian for this matter, it's all my negligence, and when I turn around, I will definitely give a banquet to Commander Hua Rong to suppress the shock, I will see that this matter will pass like this! You don't want to be upset for Hua Rong anymore! β
Zhu Hao listened to his emperor's eldest brother say this, and naturally he couldn't say anything more, because Zhu Hao knew that it would be useless for him to say anything, so he took a deep breath, then knelt on the ground and said: "Your Majesty, there is one more thing for your brother, please ask Your Majesty to call the shots for your brother!" β
Zhu Hao had already been given the grace of not kneeling by Zhu Youxiao, but Zhu Hao knelt down in order to make Zhu Youxiao pay attention to this matter.
Sure enough, as Zhu Hao knelt on the ground, Zhu Youxiao was immediately startled, and hurriedly stepped forward a few steps to help Zhu Hao and said, "Brother Huang, what are you doing?" Didn't I forgive you a great gift? You and I are brothers, we are all our own family, you can just say it directly, why bother! β
Zhu Hao followed Zhu Youxiao's support, and then said: "Your Majesty, my brother is aggrieved!" As soon as the younger brother went to Zhejiang for three months, he investigated the scientific examination case for His Majesty, and the younger brother did not dare to take credit, but the younger brother never thought that when the younger brother returned to Beijing, the younger brother's mother and concubine almost died at the hands of a traitor. β
Zhu Hao's actions exerted huge pressure on Zhu Youxiao, saying that the first emperor was the first emperor, and he threatened with his life, so Zhu Youxiao had to pay attention to Zhu Hao's words, and what Zhu Hao said was indeed a little appalling, not to mention that Zhu Hao's mother was the favorite concubine of the first emperor, even if he had a prince's son, no one dared to bully her.
Zhu Youxiao thought about this, he really couldn't understand how this happened, but he looked at Zhu Hao's appearance, and it didn't look like a fraud at all, if this thing was true, then the person who did it was really bold and heinous, Zhu Youxiao thought about it, and even shouted angrily: "Brother Huang, don't get excited first, you tell me what the hell is going on, if there is such a thing, don't worry, no matter who is involved, I will never spare it!" β
