Wang Wenyan was annoyed in his heart, and another sentence ran out of his mouth: "Ouch, please, it's really polite." However, don't forget, you are a thousand households, and you can't just say honorifics to people. ”

Zhu Cheng said: "First, I am indeed very polite; Second, there is no provision in the Da Ming Law that officials cannot use honorifics; Third, the person who came has a special status, and even you have to say please. ”

Wang Wenyan was about to make another sarcastic remark, when he suddenly thought that Zhu Cheng and Zhu Youzhen were good friends, and the witness invited this time was none other than him, so he hurriedly threw out a sentence, "I don't have the same knowledge as you", so he kept silent.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse said, "Okay, please come up." ”

Zhu Cheng whispered a few words to a soldier of the Jinyi Guard and handed him a note. The soldiers left the main hall and rode in the direction of the children's playground.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse beckoned, and Zhu Cheng stepped up the jade steps and stood next to the dragon chair.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse said softly: "Zhu Cheng, are you sure. Now you have a very good reason to stop it, and the world can't say anything more. ”

Zhu Cheng also replied softly: "Long live, we can make these pretentious ministers even more embarrassed." ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse said happily: "Really? In the past few days when you have been gone, I have been annoyed to death by these ministers, and one by one they have a straight face, saying some absurd and unconventional truths, saying that agriculture is the foundation of the world, and that national taxes can only be collected from agriculture, not business. The peasant tax is already high enough, and if the peasants collect it again, they will rebel. The businessmen have thousands of dollars in their pockets, but they do not pull out a dime. But my mouth is stupid, and I can't talk about them. You've disgraced them, and I'm glad I did. Don't worry, I've got your back. With the will of the previous emperor and my support, I still don't believe it, the two emperors of the Ming Dynasty can't do these selfish villains. ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse looked at Wei Zhongxian and then at Zhu Cheng, suddenly smiled and said, "Aiqing, do you feel that this scene is a little familiar?" ”

Zhu Cheng understood, went out through the back door, and went to the imperial dining room to make roast mutton.

Gu Dazhang said to Gao Panlong: "Brother Gao, where did this Zhu Cheng go, it can't be that he wants to escape." ”

Gao Panlong said: "Déjà vu, do you think this scene is familiar?" Zhu Cheng, a courtier, went to do something delicious for the emperor again. Last time I made it at the Golden Palace, it seemed to be roast mutton, and I don't know how to make it, but I asked the cook to make it when I went back, but I couldn't make this taste. Hey, Zhu Cheng is not a good person, he eats alone. ”

The historian angrily wrote down a charge against Zhu Cheng.

Sure enough, not long after, Zhu Cheng went up the jade steps with three plates of roast mutton. Emperor of the Apocalypse, Zhu Cheng, and Wei Zhongxian feasted together.

The fragrance slowly rose and spread to the entire hall, and all the people involuntarily swallowed a mouthful of saliva, this Zhu Cheng, hateful, wants to eat at home, what is the matter with eating in the Golden Palace, it is still so fragrant. I have a copy of him, but this is what the emperor wants to eat. Although it is unseemly for the emperor to eat and drink on the Golden Palace, there is no special law to govern him. If you go to the emperor's last book, you will be guilty of slandering the king in the palace, and Zhu Cheng, who has sharp teeth and sharp teeth on the side, will not only fail to participate in the emperor, but will take himself.

Suddenly, a child's voice sounded in the Golden Palace: "Brother Cheng, it's so fragrant, share a little with me." ”

Everyone looked at each other, and the person who spoke was Zhu Youzhen, and the witness invited by Zhu Cheng was indeed him.

Zhu Cheng walked down from the jade steps, took Zhu Youzhen's hand and said, "Ah Jian, go back and eat the roast mutton, have you memorized the manuscript?" ”

Zhu Youzhen patted his chest and said, "Wrap it on me." ”

After speaking, he beckoned to the guards, Wu Hucheng carried a chair, and the other two guards carried a table and put it down on the side of the Golden Palace.

Zhu Cheng took a closer look at the guards who carried the tables and chairs, and now the guards from the children's playground, and asked, "How many people did you bring here?" ”

Zhu Youjian said: "Twelve elites we trained, and ten guards who stayed in the children's paradise. ”

Zhu Cheng said: "Is it necessary to mobilize the people so much? ”

Zhu Youzhen grinned and said: "Today is my day to be in the limelight, how can there be no audience." ”

After speaking, Zhu Youzhen sat on the chair, patted the waking wood, and said: "Sweep away the remnants of Hu Li Diji, the dragon and the phoenix dance Cui Wei; The left ring is the sea and sky, and the right is surrounded by Taihang Mountain. The nine sides of the halberd are overwhelming, and the clothes of all countries hang down; Taiping people are happy to be in the world, and Yongyong Jinou is a total of ......"

Zhu Youzhen began to talk about the storytelling "Du Shi Niang's Angry Sinking Treasure Chest".

The ministers looked at each other, not knowing what Zhu Cheng was doing, and they had the heart to ask, but it was inconvenient to interrupt Zhu Youzhen's commentary - that was the emperor's younger brother. Soon, they knew the answer, because the hero in the commentary was Li Wentong, and it was specifically mentioned that Li Wentong's father was Li Sancai.

Li Wentong wanted to open his mouth to interrupt, but Wei Zhongxian had already seen it very clearly, asked the two imperial guards to arrest him, and once again stuffed the stinky sock into his mouth.

The Donglin Party members were red-faced, and they wanted to interrupt Zhu Youzhen's performance several times, but they didn't dare. Because they peeked at the Emperor of the Apocalypse on the dragon chair and listened attentively.

The relationship between non-Donglin Party members and Li Sancai is average, and when I heard Zhu Youzhen clearly commenting on the book, I was happy in my heart, it was really strange that there were many things every year, especially this year. This year, two emperors died in a row, and entertainment was banned, and they hadn't been to the teahouse and wine shop for a long time to listen to the commentary--of course, at that time, it was not called a commentary, it was called a commentary, and it was a little boring, and I didn't expect to listen to a piece for free in the court today, but unfortunately there were no chairs, and they couldn't applaud loudly.

Zhu Youzhen finally said: "I don't talk about it, just love words cost ginseng; If the love words can be understood, it is not ashamed to call the style of flow. As soon as he slapped the waking wood, he ended this commentary.

Wu Huping and the guards stepped forward to remove the tables and chairs. Above the Golden Palace, everyone else had to stand except for the emperor who could sit.

Wei Zhongxian waved his hand quietly, and the two guards let go of Li Wentong and took away the stinky socks that were stuck in his mouth.

Li Wentong shouted: "Bloody mouth, nothing is wrong with me here, I don't know Du Shi Niang!" ”

Zhu Cheng made a gesture and asked the guards to bring in someone.

The man trembled and entered the Taihe Palace, and as soon as he came in, he knelt down at the emperor: "Little, little old man, Shen Lao, third child, knock on the emperor's eldest master." ”

This old man is a poor talent, the biggest official he has ever seen in his life is the prefect, and when he first entered the Golden Palace, he was dizzy and couldn't even speak. He only remembered that others shouted that the prefect was the master of the blue sky, so he called the emperor to add the master.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse laughed and said, "Old man, get up." ”

Shen Laosan saw that the Emperor of the Apocalypse had a kind attitude, and his heart gradually calmed down.

Zhu Cheng asked, "Old Man Shen, do you know the person opposite?" ”

Shen Laosan replied: "Yes, he claims to be Li Wentong, and his father is Li Sancai." He and his men are fierce, and look at my teeth, which have been knocked out by his minions. ”

Zhu Cheng asked, "Do you remember what he said when he beat Feng Menglong?" ”

Shen Laosan replied: "Remember, he said that Li Jia in "Du Shi Niang's Angry Sinking Hundred Treasure Chests" was talking about him. ”

Zhu Cheng smiled and asked Shen Laosan to be sent out.

Gao Panlong said angrily: "What do you mean by this, can you prove your innocence?" ”

Zhu Cheng said: "Don't get me wrong, Lord Gao, I'm here to help you." Didn't Li Wentong say that he beat Feng Menglong, if I don't verify this matter, how can I be convicted? ”

Gao Panlong was speechless, because what Zhu Cheng said was indeed reasonable, if Li Wentong did not contradict Feng Menglongsheng, there would be no follow-up matter. Zhu Cheng did prove this, but it was better to prove it than nothing. As soon as this proof came out, Li Wentong's identity as a negative man was confirmed. Although the negative man is not punished by the law, it makes the Donglin Party lose face.

Gu Dazhang said: "Zhu Cheng, you haven't proved that you are not guilty?" ”

Zhu Cheng said: "Shao'an don't be impatient, now I want to invite a second witness." ”

When the guards heard this, they brought in another person from outside, and this person was recognized by many ministers, it was Shi Longyou, a famous doctor in the capital.

Shi Longyou was very excited, although he was a famous doctor in the capital and had seen many first-class officials, it was the first time he had met the emperor in person. After all, he is a person who has seen the world, and his response is very decent.

Gu Dazhang asked, "Mr. Shi, can you prove that Zhu Qianhu didn't go out that night?" ”

In any era, doctors are always respected, rude as Gu Dazhang and others, and polite when they see Shi Longyou.

Shi Longyou said: "That night, Lao Yu treated Feng Menglong in the children's paradise, although Zhu Cheng did not stay with Lao Yu all the time, but when I went in and out, I could see him every time. ”

Gu Dazhang said: "You didn't lie to anyone, did you?" ”

Shi Longyou flicked his sleeves and was furious: "The old man has been practicing medicine for decades and never tells lies. ”

Wang Wenyan said to Zhu Cheng: "You are a thousand households in Jinyi, if you want to kill someone, you can do it yourself, just find your soldiers to do it." ”

Zhu Cheng made a gesture, and Wu Huping and Jinyiwei moved a wooden statue in, which was Yue Fei's statue. Zhu Cheng didn't know who the spiritual leader of Jinyiwei was, he only knew that the spiritual leader of Dongchang was Yue Fei, and his portrait was hung in the main hall of Dongchang.

Zhu Cheng said: "Jinyi Wei is loyal to the country, and Yue Fei of the previous dynasty is our role model. The twelve brocade guards who entered the hall were the guards I brought from the Jingxi Huangzhuang, and they were also the only military forces I could mobilize, and now I let them swear in front of Yue Fei. ”

The twelve brocade-clothed guards knelt down towards Yue Fei's statue and said, "We are Lord Zhu Cheng's subordinates, and we swear to you that we will never kill Li Wentong's kind and loyal servants with our hands. ”

The people of the Ming Dynasty believed in oaths very much and never took them lightly. But Zhu Cheng told the twelve brocade guards that this oath was although, because there was a language trap in it. First, the oath was to kill with the hands, and in fact, the slaves were killed by the sword. Second, these slaves are called evil slaves, and where is it to be associated with goodness and loyalty? Therefore, the twelve brocade guards did not hesitate to swear in front of Yue Fei's statue.

Zuo Guangdou said: "Since Zhu Cheng and his subordinates didn't make a move, it seems that this matter really has nothing to do with him." ”

Gao Panlong said: "Slow, maybe they swear?" ”

Wei Zhongxian, the commander of Dongchang, was furious when he heard this, and shouted: "We, Dongchang and Jinyiwei, both regard Yue Fei as a god-like figure, how dare we swear to his old man? ”

Emperor Tianqi said: "Wei Zhongxian is polite. It stands to reason that if you suspect that Zhu Cheng is a murderer, you should come up with evidence. You can't show it and don't say it, and you insist that it is him according to common sense. Okay, Zhu Cheng came up with evidence, you still don't give up, are you really the righteous grandson accepted by Emperor Shenzong Xian easy to bully? This matter is so decided, Zhu Cheng is not the murderer, and Shuntian Mansion Yin works hard to investigate the case. ”

The Donglin Party members wilted one by one, why was Zhu Cheng so difficult to deal with, and let him escape every time.

Li Wentong hated it so much, this time his face was embarrassed, it was embarrassing enough to be in the most lively corridor in the capital for half a day, and he also revealed his negative mood history in front of so many courtiers.

This revenge is not avenged, he is not a man, he rolled his eyes, and came up with a vicious idea.
