Zhu Qiyu, the son of tomorrow, has been in a very bad mood these days, he is very unpleasant to see everything, and he can't raise any interest in doing anything. The reason for this is not only that the prince's body bones have not been good, but more importantly, this Enke test actually went wrong again.

And what made him even more annoyed was that it was Lu Jin, the courtier he trusted and valued the most, who made a big mistake this time. Lu Zhen actually did something to make people peek at the exam questions for his own selfishness, which is something that the emperor can't accept no matter what, and in his opinion, this is a complete betrayal of himself!

If Lu Jin really has the heart to bring his son and nephew, he can come to ask him for a reward, with his attention to Lu Jin, it is just a matter of one sentence to add grace, why would he do such a thing without himself? actually sent someone into the examination room to steal the exam questions, which caused a storm in the city, and how many people increased their views and prejudices against the court and themselves?

Because of the previous events of the Xu family, Zhu Qiyu was already insecure, and now Lu Jin, his most trusted courtier, has done such things again, which is not a big blow to the emperor. Especially after even the prisoner who was taken down on the spot admitted that everything was instructed by Lu Jin, he was even more convinced of this. So the emperor didn't even meet Lu Zhen and ask the matter clearly, because he was afraid of asking more inside information from Lu Jin's mouth that he didn't want to hear.

Subsequently, the Criminal Department handed over more confessions that were unfavorable to Lu Zhen and confirmed that he was indeed fraudulent, which made the emperor believe in this matter more and more, and even decided to severely punish Lu Jin according to the law.

As a result, the Son of Heaven's mood became worse and worse, and he had been angry for no reason several times, and the eunuchs serving around him also suffered a lot because of this. So that these close servants didn't dare to come to His Majesty. However, when an important piece of music came in from outside the palace, they could only present it to the emperor in fear.

At this moment, one of the chamberlains sent a few copies of the bullets of the officials of the Imperial Court to the emperor with a gloomy face, and asked him to take a look. And after the emperor hurriedly glanced at it a few times, his face became more and more gloomy: "How can this be reasonable! These brocade guards are too bold! Could it be that they have become Lu Jin's private army? How dare you commit the act of openly forcibly kidnapping witnesses in a case, and I really don't punish them? As he spoke, with a wave of his hand, he had slapped a few copies of the music on the top of the imperial case, and the teacup on his head was jumping.

It turned out that what happened in the Suzhou Hall yesterday had spread quickly, and then the self-proclaimed upright official made a big fuss about this and began to shoot at Jinyiwei. And between the lines of the bullet seal, it was also pointed out that Jinyiwei did this to excuse Lu Jin, the leader of his own family, and was disrespectful to the Son of Heaven and so on. The emperor, who was already annoyed and sensitive, was naturally furious when he saw it.

And after seeing the anger of the Son of Heaven, the servants were even more frightened, and immediately knelt on the ground, and someone whispered: "Your Majesty is angry, don't be angry with the dragon body because of this......

"Humph! It seems that I can't let them go anymore this time, and I must punish them severely! "There is a way to care about chaos, because of the trust in Lu Jin, the emperor did not dare to call him to him to ask for an understanding, so he also had a suspicion of Jinyiwei, so that those officials were allowed to tell each other.

At this moment, another chamberlain came to the door of the palace with some trepidation, and said, "Your Majesty."

, the secretary of the Ministry of Shangshu Hu Hu Hu asked to see him outside the palace. ”

"Huh?" The emperor was a little surprised for a moment, Hu Hu was actually in a state of semi-official in the past two years because of his age, and he didn't take much care of the official affairs of the ministry on weekdays, and even the early dynasty rarely participated, let alone came to see His Majesty on purpose, so his sudden request to see him today was indeed a bit unexpected.

But soon, Zhu Qiyu guessed something, and his brows quickly furrowed. However, Hu Hu is a veteran of several dynasties after all, with high morality and respect, and his identity is here, even if he is reluctant, he can't see it. So after hesitating for a moment, he still nodded and said, "Mr. Xuanhu came into the palace to speak." He also wanted to see what Hu Hu could say about this matter.

Half an hour later, Hu Hui faltered and panted outside the temple gate. As a courtier, this journey from the palace gate to here can only be walked on his feet, which is obviously not easy for him in his old age.

When the emperor saw it, he hurriedly motioned for the eunuch beside him to step forward to help the old minister cross the high threshold, and then said: "Come on, give Mr. Hu a seat." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The old man quickly knelt on the ground tremblingly, kowtowed to the emperor and thanked him, and then he was helped up and sat on an embroidered pier. Even so, his breathing was still a little rapid, and it took him half a day to recover.

"Mr. Hu hasn't been in the palace to see me for a long time, why does he have this heart today?" The emperor first asked seemingly unintentionally, and then finally couldn't hold back a trace of restlessness in his heart, and added: "If you are interceding for that Lu Jin, sir, I think it would be better for you not to open this mouth, so as not to hurt the feelings of you and my monarchs." ”

Hu Hu looked at the Son of Heaven in front of him with some surprise, he really didn't expect his prejudice against Lu Zhen to be so deep, and he was not even allowed to speak for him. However, after all, he is an old minister who has experienced decades of ups and downs, and even so, he did not mess up, but just sighed: "Your Majesty, rest assured, the old minister is not here to intercede for the disciple who is not angry." On the contrary, the old minister also came to impeach him. ”

"Huh?" But the emperor was stunned when he said this: "How can you say this?" "Is it because the wall is falling down and everyone is pushing it? How many evil things did Lu Zhen do behind his back, and even Hu Hui, a teacher, had to run into the palace to impeach him?

"Your Majesty doesn't know yet, this Lu Zhen is really not a son of man. Originally, because the old minister saw that he had made a lot of contributions to the court and was a reliable person, he took him into his door, and planned to cultivate him carefully, so that he could do something for His Majesty and my Ming Dynasty. Unexpectedly, he did too despicable things in his early years, and even Lao Chen, who was a teacher, was deeply ashamed. ”

"What did he do to make you ...... old man" The emperor was aroused by his curiosity, and seeing that the old man was always out of the point, he hurriedly asked. It is said that knowing people and knowing faces does not know their hearts, it seems that everything Lu Zhen reveals on weekdays is fake, and he still values him so much at the beginning.

"In life, you always have to be in awe. The prince of heaven and earth is something that ministers and scholars should be in awe. But he Lu Zhen is good, he actually broke off relations with his own people as early as his hometown in Suzhou, and such a disobedient and unfilial practice is really cold! The old minister was really ashamed, why didn't he see him at that time? Hu Hu seemed to say with regret, his expression was quite in place, just a pair of old eyes, but he paid attention to the Son of Heaven from time to time

The look changed.

Zhu Qiyu first followed the other party's train of thought, and also said with some annoyance: "This Lu Zhen is indeed hypocritical, why couldn't I see through him before?" If I had known that he was such a cold man who disregarded filial piety, I would not have reused him! This theory is naturally very reasonable at this time, because in this era, only filial piety can be a loyal minister, and Lu Zhen actually dared to risk the world's disapproval to draw a line with his relatives, which shows that he is not a person who pays attention to filial piety, and if you look deeper, you can conclude that he is not a loyal minister.

The emperor already had a prejudice against Lu Jin, and now that he learned such a statement, he was naturally even more annoyed in his heart, feeling that he had been completely deceived by Lu Zhen all these years. But then, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind: "This is not right...... In the case reported by the Criminal Department earlier, it was mentioned that he cheated in order to help his nephew in Suzhou take the Jinshi examination. But if he had already severed ties with his people, how could he take such a big risk for others? ”

After pondering for a long time, the emperor glanced at Hu Hu thoughtfully: "Mr. Hu, are you serious?" ”

"How dare the old minister bully the king?" Hu Hu hurriedly arched his hand and said: "As far as the new news of the old minister, the document of Lu Jin's severance of relations with the people in the clan is still stored in the yamen of Suzhou Mansion. Your Majesty only needs to verify the next decree a little, and you will know whether it is true or false. ”

"I see." The emperor nodded slightly, and in Hu Hui's eyes, he breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that with this, the emperor, who was originally convinced of this matter, would naturally have a different opinion on this case.

But before the old man could finish his breath, Zhu Qiyu stared at him again: "I understand, Mr. Hu, you entered the palace today to intercede for him." ”

"Old minister......" Hu Hu only hesitated slightly, then got up and knelt down again: "The old minister is guilty, but this case is really strange, the old minister really can't bear to let His Majesty be deceived by others, so he made this decision, and I hope Your Majesty will punish him." Now that the emperor has seen through everything, he doesn't want to pretend anymore, so he simply tells him bluntly.

"Your Majesty, as far as the old minister knows, it is true that Lu Jinyi sent someone from Jinyiwei to peek at the test questions in the examination room, but his purpose is not to leak the exam questions, but on the contrary, he is to prevent someone from cheating in the examination......" As he spoke, Hu Hu told the inside story that Jinyiwei had found that someone was peddling exam questions to candidates.

Therefore, this ginger is still old and spicy, if someone else intercedes for Lu Jin, it is likely to start from here, so it will be difficult to please in front of the prejudiced Son of Heaven, and it will not allow him to listen to this explanation calmly. But Hu Hu first followed the words of the Son of Heaven to "impeach" Lu Jin, and let the emperor himself find out the problem, so that it was easy for him to accept it if he returned to the case itself.

And after listening to Hu Hui's story, the emperor was really slightly moved: "Is this true? ”

"Lao Chen believes in Lu Jin's character, and he will definitely not do such a foolish thing for personal gain. It's this reason that is more convincing, but Lu Jin's actions are too reckless, and he really shouldn't. Hu Hu hurriedly replied.

"In this way, there is another inside story in this case......" The emperor narrowed his eyes, but his mood was much better. If this is the case, then Lu Zhen did not deceive and disappoint himself, which made the anger in his heart dissipate a lot at once, and at the same time, a decision was born from the bottom of his heart......
