Sitting down again, the Empress Dowager said: "I heard that Your Majesty sent Wang Zhen's slave to prison?" ”

Here it comes.

Zhu Qizhen's heart jumped suddenly, needless to say, it must be the ministers who care for their lives to talk a lot and leak the news to the emperor's grandmother, what can I do? After a few breaths of silence, he said: "Yes, the Great Chief of the Imperial History King impeached him, and in order to avoid suspicion, Sun Er had to put him in prison." ”

Where could the five ministers not hear the meaning of the emperor's words? It's just to avoid suspicion, and it's not really to cure Wang Zhen's crime. Yang Shiqi even thought that if Wang Zhen was not arrogant enough to beat the Han generals in the palace, so that the emperor could not step down under anger, I am afraid he would not be sent to prison.

Who provoked Wang Zhen's gaffe? Of course it's Zhang Ning, this kid seems to have been born with Wang Zhen. Yang Shiqi recalled the scene of the early dynasty, and couldn't help but give Zhang Ning a thumbs up for his provocative ability, and at the same time secretly surprised, in the past few years, if Wang Zhen didn't like it, he had long disappeared in the court, and only Zhang Ning put Wang Zhen in prison.

He's only a fifteen-year-old boy.

Terrific!

Zhang Fu saw that the emperor had a intention of protecting Wang Zhen, if Wang Zhenzhen came out of the edict, Zhang Ning would be very dangerous, maybe he would be the next one to enter. He said: "Please ask Your Majesty to verify Wang Zhen's crimes, Master Ma recommended Wang Zhen, you should avoid suspicion, please Your Majesty don't send someone to interrogate." ”

"Yes, please send someone for interrogation." Yang Rong and Yang Pu said in unison.

Hu Tong said: "Although the minister is old, but he is entrusted by the first emperor, he does not dare to spare his life, I am willing to judge Wang Zhen, please ask Your Majesty for permission." "He is a veteran spy and the minister of the first emperor, and it is only appropriate to interrogate Wang Zhen.

Yang Shiqi's thoughts were deserted for a breath or two, and the four colleagues had already entered the stage of interrogating Wang Zhen, so he immediately followed up and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, please let Lord Hu interrogate." If Your Majesty is interested, you may set up a dark room in which you can observe. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty may wish to observe." The other four people all understood Yang Shiqi's intentions, the emperor was listening in the dark room, and the interrogation process was naturally clear, as long as Wang Zhen confessed, it was a certainty, and there was no room for repentance.

Wang Zhen is not a eunuch to worry about, but if the emperor moves his heart to hide, it will be a big trouble.

Especially Zhang Fu, the desire to convict Wang Zhen is even more urgent, once Wang Zhen is released from prison, not only Zhang Ning is in danger, but also Daniel Zhang in Datong, I am afraid that Anxiang Bofu will be destroyed.

It's really a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, but the first step is to let him do it. Zhang Fu was silent, and added: "Lord Hu has always been fair, Your Majesty should rest assured." ”

Why can't you tolerate Mr. Wang? This is urgent step by step. Zhu Qizhen regretted it, he shouldn't have been impulsive and sent him to prison, what should he do now?

The five of them saw that Zhu Qizhen was constipated and silent, so you said a word to me and persuaded me again and again.

Zhu Qizhen had no choice but to say: "How dare you work Hu Qing?" This candidate, Rong Zhen thinks about it. ”

You clearly don't want to judge him. Not only Zhang Fu, but the other four ministers were also anxious, and finally sent Wang Zhen in, really to break the myth that there was death and no life in the edict, I don't know how many people suffered. He is extreme, and he is humiliated by this, so it is strange that he does not retaliate madly after he comes out.

What's more, he dared to beat the Han general in the palace, and it was clear that there was no emperor in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, although the old minister is old, his body is still strong. As a minister, he should share his worries for the king. Hu Wei expressed his position again.

Yang Shiqi said: "The ministers are willing to try by jury, and they should try their best to find out the facts." In other words, when passing through the court, it is guaranteed that there will be no punishment.

Zhang Fu, Yang Rong, and Yang Pu have a difficult face, how can they be tried without punishment? Wang Zhen is familiar with the emperor's temperament, how can he confess honestly?

Hu Tong understood Yang Shiqi's intentions, and first let the emperor agree to pass the court, as for how to judge in the court, he, as the chief judge, has the final say.

"Exactly. The minister should find out the facts, if the prince is really innocent, he will definitely not be wronged. Hu Tong said.

If you don't have to be punished, you won't be humiliated. From childhood to adulthood, scenes of Wang Zhen's teaching and companionship flashed through Zhu Qizhen's mind, and a sentence blurted out: "Mr. Wang is my enlightenment, even if he is a little greedy for money, for the sake of his teaching, he should not delve into it." ”

You know that he has committed a lot of evil deeds, but you blindly cover them up, how can you do it? Yang Shiqi wanted to persuade again, but the Empress Dowager, who had not spoken, said: "How can the evil slave not be punished?" Someone came, immediately took out this evil slave, and killed the matter. ”

For the Empress Dowager, the eunuchs in the palace were just slaves. The five ministers secretly praised: "High, really high." "Where is there any need for interrogation, just kill it.

"Imperial Grandmother!" Zhu Qizhen was so shocked that he almost fell off the official hat chair, and said with a white face: "I beg the emperor's grandmother to spare him for the sake of teaching his grandson since he was a child." ”

The Empress Dowager sighed secretly, every time it was this sentence, she had to accept it. Could it be that the royal family will fall into a reputation for not respecting teachers and valuing education? Evil slaves can naturally be killed, but not gentlemen.

She glanced at the five ministers, and the meaning was obvious: "What do you think?" ”

Yang Shiqi didn't understand the meaning of the inquiry in her eyes, and said: "He once enlightened His Majesty, but he is a eunuch, he respects him as a teacher, and it is insulting to Sven, Your Majesty is cautious." ”

We do not deny that he taught you to read the beginning of man, but from the time he castrated and entered the palace, he was a slave, this is a fact, and it cannot be denied either. You respect him as a gentleman, where do you put the world's scholars?

is worthy of being a reader, and his words are very level. Zhang Fu said: "Elder Ge is right. A slave is a slave, how can he be respected as a teacher? ”

The other three, without exception, all agreed.

Zhu Qizhen was so anxious that he saw sweat on his forehead, Huo Di stood up and said loudly: "He is my husband." ”

There's no way to communicate. The five ministers looked at the Empress Dowager in unison.

Zhu Qizhen gritted his teeth and said, "The imperial grandmother has to kill him, and the grandson has no choice but to ...... Had...... I don't want this throne anymore. "In a hurry, as long as he can save Mr. Wang's life, he can't care about anything else.

The Empress Dowager only felt that the world was spinning, and her eyes were dark, and she didn't know what to do.

"Imperial Grandmother! Imperial Grandmother! Quickly pass on the Imperial Doctor. "Youyou was in a hurry, held the fainting Queen Mother, and yelled outside the palace door.

Zhang Ning stood at the door of the hall, listening to the quarrel inside, he couldn't wait to go in and say a few words, and suddenly heard the voice of Youyou, and he went in as soon as he took a step, and said, "Do you want to pass on the imperial doctor?" ”

"Go." Youyou's usually bright eyes were only anxious at this time, glared at Zhang Ning, and shouted.

Zhang Ning didn't say a word, turned around and ran.

This kid saw the opportunity quickly. Yang Shiqi, who saw the sudden change in the situation, just got up, and saw Zhang Ning coming in and out, and couldn't help but sigh, he looked at Zhang Ning now and praised it.

Zhang Fu wanted to step forward to help, but because of the difference between men and women; The second came to the side of Youyou, and he held it all at once, seeing that the queen mother's face was pale and her breathing was weak, she obviously fainted, ignoring the image of a lady, and yelled at the imperial doctor, Zhang Ning quickly responded, and he didn't have time to do anything at all.

Yang Rong is the weakest of the three Yangs, a few days ago he was seriously ill and almost died.

Yang Pu experienced ups and downs when he was young, and developed the habit of being cautious in words and deeds, before he spoke and did things, he must have thought twice, he hadn't thought about it yet, Zhang Ning had already come in and gone out.

Hu Tong was inconvenient for his legs and feet, and he had to get up for a long time, and he only had time to make a posture of getting up.

…………

The Tai Hospital is not far from the palace, Zhang Ning Pegasus rushed to the Tai Hospital, picked up the Tai Doctor Hu, who had always asked for peace for the Empress Dowager, and left, which shocked many Tai Doctors for a long time. What's the situation? Where did the reckless boy come from? If it weren't for the fact that he was wearing a flying fish suit, the doctors would have thought that the strongman was admitted to the hospital and robbed people.

Rushed out of the hospital, put Doctor Hu on horseback, Zhang Ning turned over on the horse, rode the horse and galloped to the front of the noon gate, ripped off Doctor Hu, and wanted to pick him up again, Doctor Hu was anxious, and said, "I have something to say." ”

"The Empress Dowager has fainted, go quickly." Zhang Ning said.

Imperial Physician Hu's face changed greatly, and he took off his robe and hurriedly entered the palace. He is used to entering the palace, and the palace guards all know him, and Zhang Ning shouted from behind: "Let him in." So the road was unimpeded, and after a while, I came to Cishou Palace.

After some treatment, the Queen Mother woke up slowly.

Zhu Qizhen, who had already been frightened and regretted his words, sat next to the emperor's brocade couch and said, "Imperial grandmother, grandson is reckless. ”

The Empress Dowager looked at him for a long time, sighed, and said, "Have you ever had an ancestral inheritance in your heart?" For a minion, don't you even want Jiangshan Sheji? ”

"Grandchildren don't dare." Zhu Qizhen lowered his head.

"The mourning family wants to rest for a while, you go back to the palace." The Empress Dowager said tiredly, her eyes turned to Youyou, who was standing in front of the brocade couch: "Good granddaughter, you stay with the mourning family." ”

"Yes." She picked up the silver spoon, scooped up a spoonful and drank it, and after making sure that there was no problem with the medicine, she took the medicine bowl and waited for the queen mother to drink the medicine.

The Empress Dowager first instructed the five ministers who were waiting outside the palace to go back and take medicine.

The five of them saluted outside and said, "Yes." "Yuguan went out of the palace.

Zhu Qizhen instructed Youyou: "Serve the imperial grandmother for me." ”

"Your Majesty, rest assured, my sister will take care of it." Yoyo is well-behaved.

Zhu Qizhen turned around and walked out of the Empress Dowager's bedroom, and said to Zhang Ning, who was standing at the gate of the palace like a wooden man: "Qing accompany me back." ”

The two walked halfway one after the other, and Zhu Qizhen suddenly said: "Is it wrong for me to let Mr. Wang go to prison?" ”

Zhang Ning heard that he regretted it, and hit the nail on the head and said, "That's right." Did Your Majesty ever think that Wang Zhen relied on His Majesty to treat him as a gentleman, so he kept asking for bribes; It is precisely because of him accompanying His Majesty day and night that all the lords in the court dare not not bribe him? If His Majesty does not treat him as a gentleman, he is not a eunuch with a pen, he dares to ask for bribes from all the adults, and will anyone bribe him? Your Majesty doesn't believe it, but you can order him to be released from prison and driven him out of the palace to see what storm he can stir up. ”

Zhu Qizhen's heart was shocked, and he dared to make trouble for a long time, and the culprit was me. After walking a little longer, he said, "Qing's words are too ruthless. ”

"Good words are just bitter words."

"How many of the charges Wang Qing read are true?"

The king chief read it in the hall, and his voice was loud, as long as he was in the hall, there was nothing he could not hear.

Zhang Ning said: "What the minister knows, nine times out of ten is true. Your Majesty, does it know that Wang Zhen spent a lot of money to build a mansion for himself? Although it has not yet been built, it can be seen that the scale is huge. The money spent must have been obtained by him by planning and soliciting bribes for His Majesty. ”

Do you know that you are being used to build a mansion for yourself?

Zhu Qizhen only felt that his chest was so tight that he couldn't help but stop.

Zhang Ning saw that his face was not very good, so he looked around, and saw a corner of the eaves not far away, and said, "Your Majesty, go over there and rest for a while." ”

"No, you don't." Zhu Qizhen shook his head and said, raised his legs and walked again, walking faster and faster, almost trotting all the way back to the Qianqing Palace.

At the gate of Qianqing Palace, Ma Shun has not left yet. Previously, Zhu Qizhen went out of the Qianqing Palace to Cishou Palace, he wanted to come forward to intercede for Wang Zhen, but he didn't think that Zhu Qizhen was in a trance, he didn't see him, he hesitated, Zhu Qizhen had already gone far.

The more he waited here, the more anxious he became, and finally decided that no matter whether it was successful or not, he would plead for mercy once, and return to the house immediately after the begging, and no longer care about Wang Zhen's affairs.

"Your Majesty." As soon as he saw Zhu Qizhen, he knelt down: "The prince is wronged, it's those scholars who look down on him and want to fix him ......"

Hey, he didn't finish speaking, why did His Majesty enter the palace? What did he say about it?

Zhang Ning followed Zhu Qizhen closely, and just saw Ma Shun kneeling on the ground in a daze, so he said, "Master Ma, what are you doing here?" ”

Zhang Ning actually doesn't have much ill will towards the leader of his unit, but there is a huge disparity in everyone's official ranks, and since he has met, he has to come forward and salute. Now that a man kneels on the ground, what is he going to do with this salute?

Ma Shun saw that it was him, and immediately stood up and said arrogantly: "Zhang Ning, who let you run around?" ”

Zhang Ning said: "My lord, Your Majesty asked me to escort me to Cishou Palace. ”

You kid is really very favorable, no wonder the prince is bent on killing you. Thinking that Wang Zhen asked him to find an opportunity to assassinate Zhang Ning outside the palace in the past two days, he didn't have time to assign people to follow up and investigate Zhang Ning's movements after leaving the palace, Wang Zhen had an accident, and he couldn't help but have a headache, should the task be carried out?

"Huh?" Seeing the fierce light flashing in his eyes, Zhang Ning couldn't help but be suspicious, and said, "What do you command?" "Are you going to kill Wang Zhen in the Imperial Prison, or are you going to kill me here?

"Nope. Oh, if you report it, you will say that the official asks to see you. ”

Zhang Ning said sincerely: "If you want to intercede for the prince, please avoid opening your mouth, otherwise you are afraid that it will cause trouble." "If you are not afraid of being beaten to death by civil officials in the future, just plead for Wang Zhen.

Ma Shun's heart sank, and said, "But why?" ”

Zhang Ning lowered his voice and said: "Your Majesty is worried about this matter, and my lord bumped into it at this time, I am afraid that it will be difficult to protect the official hat." "Who doesn't know that you are Wang Zhen's cronies? You don't want to find another backer, and you still want to fish out Wang Zhen? I was kicked in the head by a donkey.

Ma Shun looked at him with a cloudy face.

Zhang Ning spread his hands and said, "If you want to see the driver, you will report it." "Although it is not his duty to report on this, it is okay to mention it in passing.

Ma Shun's eyes rolled for a long time and said, "No." He just turned and walked away.

Zhang Ning looked at his back and walked farther and farther, it was a pity, could it be that this fool died naturally because he crossed by himself?
