Chapter 435: Please ask the emperor for permission
"Let's go, the mourning family will go with you to Kunning Palace to see the emperor and queen!" After the Empress Dowager finished speaking, she curled up in the soft collapse again, and several sedan chair drivers immediately lifted the soft sedan chair and walked slowly in the direction of Kunning Palace.
Kou Peihan and Zhou Zhi naturally followed closely behind. The two of them walked side by side, smiling lovingly and gratefully at Kou Peihan from time to time. Kou Peihan blushed and felt a little embarrassed.
Yes, his father-in-law was almost castrated by Wu Jing just now, but he saved him by himself. Kou Peihan even thought that Xianggong was really castrated, so wouldn't he have to be a widow in the future? The young man was widowed, and he didn't have to live that day. In the future, we must love and protect the husband more, and not let the husband make any mistakes.
Wu Jing wanted to cry without tears, his heart was depressed, and he hated Kou Peihan and Zhou Zhi even more. He clearly knew that with the Empress Dowager coming forward this time, Zhou Zhi would definitely be unscathed. Maybe the matter between himself and Wei Bin and Guo Liang will be found out or even shaken out, and at that time, his position as a big eunuch will not be saved.
After walking for almost half an hour, I arrived outside the Kunning Palace.
The little eunuch who had already had a spirit went in to report it. Emperor Hongzhi and Empress had just had breakfast, both of them were very angry, Zhou Zhi was a person they were very optimistic about, especially after they had met Zhou Zhi before, they had already formed an impression that Zhou Zhi would definitely become the pillar of the court in the future. But one of their hopeful people actually has bad intentions, and he really knows people and faces, but he doesn't know his heart.
When the two of them heard that the Empress Dowager had arrived, they were both surprised and nervous. Oh my God, the Empress Dowager hasn't been around for almost a few years, why did she suddenly come to Kunning Palace today?
Emperor Hongzhi and Empress came out of Kunning Palace tremblingly, and saw four sturdy sedan chairmen walking slowly and steadily. The two of them didn't dare to slack off, hurriedly knelt on the ground, and said in unison, "Grandson (granddaughter-in-law) greets the Empress Dowager!" ”
The soft sedan chair had already stopped, and the Empress Dowager sat on it, just straightened up slightly, and said, "Excuse me, get up!" ”
"Grandma Xie Huang!"
"Listen, you two, the mourners are here for one thing. The righteous granddaughter of the mourning family, Kou Peihan, is well-behaved and clever, and the mourning family likes her very much.
But his father-in-law is about to be beheaded by you. That Wu Jing is really hateful, just cut off your head, but he still has to be emasculated. Hum! There is such a eunuch by the emperor's side, I really don't know what to say to the mourning family.
Anyway, it's the emperor's business after all, and the mourning family doesn't want to care about it. But the righteous granddaughter of the mourning family cannot become a widow, so you can't kill this week.
Isn't it just for the prince to play bungee jumping? What's the big deal. Others can play, can't the prince play? After the Empress Dowager finished speaking, she was obviously a little out of breath and gasped for breath.
Seeing that the Empress Dowager's body was so weak, and it seemed that she was still very angry. The emperor and the queen suddenly lost color in fright, and said again and again, "The imperial grandmother is angry, the imperial grandmother is angry, and the grandson is at your command!" ”
"Okay, there are still a lot of things to do in the mourning family, so let's go!" The Empress Dowager said softly.
Then he turned his head and glanced at Kou Peihan, and said, "Han'er, let's go, you will accompany the mourning family for a day today, the mourning family has always felt depressed these days!" ”
With the will of the Empress Dowager, where do the emperor and the queen dare not listen. Kou Peihan's heart had already been put down. glanced sideways at Zhou Zhi, with affection in his veins, and then walked away with the empress dowager's soft sedan chair.
As soon as the Empress Dowager left, Wu Jing knelt down in front of Emperor Hongzhi and the Empress, and said in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty, the Empress Niang, the slave maid has always been loyal to the Emperor and the Empress Dowager, unswerving, and does not dare to slack off.
The emperor and the queen mother see that the slaves are conscientious and conscientious, and they are dedicated to the sake of the emperor and the queen, but they must let go of the slaves! ”
Where did Emperor Hongzhi and Empress have the mood to ponder the Wu Jing at this time. Indeed, just now the Empress Dowager said that this Wu Jing seems to be very unpopular and reassuring to the Empress Dowager. But Emperor and Empress Hongzhi didn't really think about it at all.
What they were thinking more about at this time was that this Zhou Zhi instigated the prince to play bungee jumping and had bad intentions, but the empress dowager came forward to protect him. And I heard the Queen Mother say just now that it is not impossible for the prince to play bungee jumping.
Could it be that we have made a mistake in the way the prince was educated? This is the issue that Emperor Hongzhi and Empress are most concerned about.
The emperor and empress just waved their hands lightly at Wu Jing and said, "Stand down!" ”
Listening to their tones, it was obvious that they did not have the slightest intention of blaming Wu Jing. Wu Jing couldn't help but be secretly happy in his heart, and said again and again, "Thank you to the emperor, thank you to the queen, the slave and maid retire!" ”
With his head down, he quietly retreated. However, at this time, Wu Jing's heart was rejoicing, but it was ruthless. Zhou Zhi, if you escape this time, it doesn't mean that you will go smoothly for the rest of your life. Our family, Wei Bin, and Guo Liang, and now there is another Yutian Bo Jiang Yin, with the four of us joining forces, can't we really put you to death?
Wait, our family and you don't share the sky. One day, our family wants you to kneel in front of our family and kowtow and beg for mercy, and then our family will kill you with our own hands.
The emperor and the queen were looking at each other and were speechless for a long time.
How to deal with Zhou Zhi has become a foregone conclusion, and it is categorically impossible to kill Zhou Zhi. The most important thing now is whether Zhou Zhi can be the prince's companion. Listening to the meaning of the Empress Dowager, it is understandable for Zhou Zhi to instigate the prince to bungee jumping, this Zhou Zhi seems to be very qualified.
can let Zhou Zhi always be by the prince's side, he will come up with something new and strange from time to time, and adventures and exciting things will continue in the future. Can the prince's safety be guaranteed?
But now I don't let Zhou Zhi be the prince's companion, which is obviously against the will of the empress dowager. Just now they saw with their own eyes that the Empress Dowager's health was getting worse and worse, and they couldn't be angry. How could they? Don't dare to provoke the Queen Mother's anger.
Fortunately, Zhou Zhi suddenly knelt on the ground and said loudly, "Zhou Zhi thank the emperor and the queen for not killing." However, after this incident, Zhou Zhi felt more and more that it was too inappropriate for Zhou Zhi to be the prince's companion. Please ask the emperor and the queen to be gracious, and give Zhou Zhi permission to stop being the prince's companion, and allow Zhou Zhi to go home! ”
The emperor and the queen were worried about this matter, and when they heard Zhou Zhi say this, they were overjoyed, and Emperor Hongzhi immediately said, "Okay, I will allow this matter!" ”
The emperor said so happily that Zhou Zhi couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. Alas! I took great pains to be the prince's companion, thinking about the prince and the future of the Ming Dynasty, but in the end I ended up with such a result.
In the final analysis, the emperor's temperament is really the most difficult to grasp. A companion is like a tiger, this is too true. In the future, once I become an official, I should try to stay away from the emperor.
