In this huge palace, in addition to the emperor and queen, there is also a big man who must not be messed with. Even provoked the emperor and queen, there was room for maneuver, but if the big man was provoked, it would be a dead end. The emperor and queen have always obeyed her words. But fortunately, the big man easily did not interfere in the affairs of the palace, and just enjoyed his life in peace.

That big man is naturally the grandmother of the current emperor, the Empress Dowager Xiaosu. But Kou Peihan turned out to be the granddaughter of the Empress Dowager, how could he have the courage to provoke Kou Peihan easily.

Kou Peihan suddenly appeared at this time, and Wu Jing could naturally accurately judge that Kou Peihan was pleading with the Empress Dowager.

Wu Jing thought that the Empress Dowager could not be provoked, but fortunately, I, Wu Jing, acted on the emperor's orders, not Kou Peihan, who I deliberately provoked, and the Empress Dowager would not blame me.

Thinking like this, he slowly got up, and the expression on his white face seemed to be more ugly than crying. said very weakly, "Okay, our family will go with you to see the emperor!" ”

After thinking about it suddenly, he hurriedly straightened his waist and said angrily, "Our family is following the emperor's will, are you still afraid that you will not be able to see the emperor?" ”

With that, he strode towards the outside of the small courtyard.

I just walked outside the courtyard, but I saw a luxurious soft sedan chair parked at the door, and a white-haired old woman was lying lazily on the sedan chair. The old woman was dressed very freshly, but her face was full of wrinkles, and even her eyes were dull.

Wu Jing hurriedly knelt down and said in a sharp voice, "The slave has seen the Empress Dowager, and I have asked the Empress Dowager to say goodbye." ”

The old woman is the Empress Dowager of Xiaosu Zhou.

When the Empress Dowager heard Wu Jing's voice, she sat up straight, her eyes lit up in an instant, and she said, "Well, you are Wu Jing, this palace heard that your status in the palace is not low now, and the emperor likes you very much." ”

"Back to the Empress Dowager, the slave has always served the emperor carefully and done what the slave should do. The emperor likes slaves, that is the blessing of slaves, but slaves will never be arrogant, like Li Guang, they don't know what to do and do wrong. Wu Jing said.

Somehow, Wu Jing's body involuntarily trembled a few times the moment he saw the Empress Dowager. He clearly knew that the Empress Dowager on the soft sedan chair was actually the most powerful woman in the palace, she had a pair of eyes that could see people, and her eyes seemed to be able to penetrate the whole heart.

She even spoke a little weakly, looking very old. But her position is unshakable, and her dignity cannot be trampled on by anyone.

"Well, that's a good point. Gonggong Wu, you know that Bengong is old, and he doesn't want to care about more things, he just wants to rest peacefully. But today Han'er told the palace about it, and his father-in-law Zhou Zhi was arrested by you for some reason. And you also said that it was the emperor's decree, and it seems that you are going to cut off Zhou Zhi's head.

Bengong wondered, Zhou Zhi is a little showman, how did he provoke you, provoke the emperor, and let the emperor cut him.

Gonggong Wu, this palace doesn't want to ask the emperor, so you can tell the palace in detail and let the palace make a judgment. The Empress Dowager said softly.

She spoke unhurriedly, very easy-going, but it was chilling to Wu Jing. He felt that the Empress Dowager had already seen through his thoughts.

However, no matter how she sees through it, she still resolutely cannot reveal her inner thoughts, and she cannot reveal her premeditated plan with Guo Liang and Wei Bin.

Thinking like this, Wu Jing said, "Early this morning, the emperor was furious in Kunning Palace, and the queen was also angry. Just yesterday, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince boldly jumped down a rockery in the Imperial Garden.

Fortunately, a strange rope was tied to the prince's ankle, so that the prince could not break his body. But the queen and the emperor were terrified when they found out, so they ordered the servants to investigate the matter. After careful investigation, the slave learned that the prince was playing bungee jumping.

This bungee jumping was something that only Persians dared to do, but the prince actually did it. The prince lives in the East Palace, and he actually has very little contact with the outside world, so how did he know about this bungee jumping. The servant asked Wei Bin, the eunuch beside the prince, and learned that it was Zhou Zhi and Liu Jin who had let people play bungee jumping half a month ago.

Especially Zhou Zhi, he actually performed bungee jumping himself, and the posture of playing was very beautiful. In fact, the prince wanted to play that day, but was stopped by Zhou Zhi and Liu Jin. The prince's temperament, the empress dowager, you know, since Zhou Zhi and Liu Jin have aroused the prince's interest, how can the prince give up easily.

So the prince took a few guards and really played once.

In the final analysis, this matter is Zhou Zhi and Liu Jin's fault. Imagine if Zhou Zhi and Liu Jin hadn't talked to the prince before, and let people play it, how could the prince take the risk of bungee jumping.

So the emperor and the queen were furious, and ordered the minions to arrest Liu Jin and Zhou Zhi and let the minions dispose of them.

The two of them instigated the prince and let the prince get into danger, isn't this harming my Daming? The minion made up his mind and wanted to kill Zhou Zhi after arresting him.

The Empress Dowager, the slave is not wrong at all, the slave just listens to the emperor's words and executes the order. Besides, Zhou Zhi and Liu Jin are really hateful, and they must be killed to set an example. ”

After Wu Jing finished speaking, he lowered his head and stopped talking. At the same time, his heart was trembling.

He was really worried, but in fact, the people who let Liu Jin and Zhou Zhi get into the trap were Wei Bin, Guo Liang and himself.

But that was a very secret thing for the three of them, and it was difficult for others to know.

After hearing this, the Empress Dowager was speechless for a long time.

She knows the temperament of Zhu Houzhao, the great-grandson, best. However, the Empress Dowager experienced a lot of things when she was young, especially the battle between the Ming and the Mongols during the Tianshun period, and the emperor was plundered.

The Ming Dynasty started with Emperor Taizu, and there were actually many emperors immediately. The personality of his great-grandson is very similar to that of Emperor Taizu. Could it be that someone like Emperor Taizu and Emperor Taizu would be wrong?

That's right, at this time, the frontier of the Ming Dynasty is very unstable, and it needs an emperor to take advantage of the prestige of the Ming Dynasty.

But if you really become an emperor immediately, become an emperor who can fight well, always nest in the palace, and don't have a little adventurous spirit?

Apparently not!

Zhou Zhi is a scholar, and a scholar dares to play that bungee jump, can't his great-grandson play it?

It's the emperor and the queen who are too doting on the prince, and they are reluctant to let go, worried that the prince will have a little bit of a difference!

Indeed, their husband and wife have a son, but a son has to be pampered, do you see him dead? In that case, how can Daming have a future? What I need is an emperor who dares to do things.

The more the Empress Dowager thought about it, the more she felt that the emperor and the queen were making a big fuss, and even a little angry at the emperor and the queen's treatment of Zhou Zhi and Liu Jin.
