If Liu Jin hadn't been too serious about his lack of heart, he would probably have summed up a very profound life lesson today, that is, it is best for eunuchs not to interject when men speak, and it is easy to humiliate themselves without a common topic.

Zhu Houzhao had no heart or lungs, holding his stomach and bending over with a smile, others may be afraid of Liu Jin's identity as the prime minister, but Zhu Houzhao doesn't care so much, no matter how prominent the eunuch's status is, after all, he is just a domestic slave of his Zhu family.

There is another person who smiles even more happily, and that is Zhang Yong, who is standing not far away.

Zhang Yong and Liu Jin had already openly torn their faces, and seeing that Liu Jin had suffered a loss, he naturally didn't care about anything, laughed unscrupulously, and even deliberately raised his voice.

Liu Jin's head was full of three corpses, staring at Qin Kan's eyes and wanting to breathe fire, but Qin Kan looked very sorry, and apologized quite sincerely, and the sentence "The prime minister can support the boat in his belly" blocked Liu Jin's anger and had nowhere to go.

"Your Majesty ......" Liu Jin cried happily, looking at Zhu Houzhao pitifully with a pair of small eyes.

Zhu Houzhao naturally couldn't sweep Liu Jin's face too much, even if he stopped laughing, he said solemnly: "Qin Kan, it's not right for you to do this, you are not allowed to damage Liu Jin like this in the future, why can Liu Jin only commit adultery with other people's husbands, but not with other people's wives, it's too bullying, it's just unreasonable...... Poof-waha......ha

The children with low laughter laughed again as they spoke, but Liu Jin's old face was purple like an eggplant that had just been picked from the vegetable garden.

Finally, when Zhu Houzhao stopped laughing and sat down on the chair panting, Qin Kan picked up what he had just said again.

"Your Majesty. There are many suspicious points in the scientific examination fraud case in the thirteenth year of Hongzhi, and the minister sent Jinyiwei to inquire, but because the chief examiner Cheng Minzheng praised a sentence on the obfuscated paper, "such a literary talent must be made by Tang Yin in Suzhou", and was given by the household department to impeach Cheng Minzheng for bribery and fraud, this reason is simply a crime to add, and later rumors spread in Beijing, rumors are flying all over the sky, and the first emperor had to issue an order because of the pressure of public opinion in Shilin, and never hire Tang Yin and Xu Jing, so as to calm the anger of the son. It didn't take long for the Ministry of Household Affairs to be removed from the cabinet and dismissed. This is already telling......"

Liu Jin still didn't want Qin to be satisfied, so he interjected again without knowing whether he was alive or not: "Regardless of whether this case is unjust or not, the imperial court will never hire Tang Yin and Xu Jing, but it is the will of the first emperor, and the decree of the first emperor is that you say that the case will be overturned?" ”

Qin Kan said in a deep voice: "Gonggong Liu's words are wrong. Ben Hou gave Liu Gonggong a very simple analogy......"

Liu Jin's eyes widened in horror. Unconsciously staggered back two steps. Screamed: "Stop! Don't be analogous! Just act as a miscellaneous family and don't say anything, okay? ”

Obviously, Gonggong Liu is quite jealous of Qin Kan's analogy, this evil beast will not say anything good with his mouth, and Gonggong Liu has been very faceless today. I don't want to humiliate myself anymore.

Zhu Houzhao frowned and looked at Qin Kan: "Why do you have to turn over the case and retry it?" Wouldn't it be enough for me to summon Tang Yin into the palace as an official? ”

Qin Kan sighed: "Innocence, Your Majesty, the person Tang Yin asks for is just an innocence." ”

Zhu Houzhao was silent for a moment and nodded: "I understand, there are some things that should be his and are his, even if they are insignificant, they are also his things, and if they are lost, they must be taken back with their own hands." ”

Qin Kan arched his hand and smiled: "Your Majesty's next thought is accessible. ”

Zhu Houzhao said: "Okay, under the rule of my country, there will be no unjust cases, and no one will be sacrificed, since there are suspicious points in the scientific research fraud case in the thirteenth year of Hongzhi, I can't turn a blind eye, this is not the way of the Ming Jun, Qin Kan, I order you to retry this case, and return the world to a real right and wrong." ”

"Minister, obey the order."

After finishing the business, Zhu Houzhao pulled Qin Kan's sleeve and said with great interest: "Let's go, I will show you the leopard room, my leopard room is about to be completed, you go and see my new home." ”

…………

…………

The leopard room is located in the southwest of the Taiye Pond in Xihuamen, Beijing.

When Zhu Houzhao and Qin Kan, as well as Liu Jin and others in civilian clothes, stood outside the leopard room, the leopard room was still under construction, but it could be seen that it was almost completed.

The construction site was densely packed with craftsmen and men busy with their work, the fierce sergeants of the Terracotta Division waved whips in their hands, and one after another the officials of the Ministry of Works were surrounded by the foremen below, commanding and assigning tasks.

Everyone had a solemn and even anxious look on their faces, which caused the busy scene in front of them, and it was obvious that the master of ceremonies had given a strict order to the officials of the Ministry of Works and the people to complete the work by a time limit.

The stacked leopard room in the distant hall has revealed its embryonic shape, it is not as magnificent as the palace, there is no kind of sacred momentum that makes people want to worship at a glance, it is more like a set of ordinary rich and noble houses, exquisite pawns, can shelter from the wind and rain but never domineering, but the house is a little outrageous.

There are more than 200 houses built in the leopard room, which also includes the unparalleled racecourse, the colosseum, the martial arts school, and various secret rooms, labyrinths and Buddhist temples built according to Zhu Houzhao's strange requirements, and the peripheral part even built a large market about two miles long. The people pretended to bargain, and Zhu Houzhao, the faint gentleman, shuttled through the crowd, closing his eyes and not fitting his eyes, buying if he wanted to, throwing away when he wanted, and enjoying the fun of shopping.

This is the Leopard House, which is not less notorious in history than the Imperial Prison of the Factory, and which represents the mediocrity and absurdity of the rulers, who spent a lot of money to build this meaningless project, because the emperor had a playful heart, and ignored the already very urgent revenues and expenditures of the state and inner treasury......

It seems that all derogatory words can be used in the leopard room, it has become a stain that Zhu Houzhao cannot erase in his life, and the stain of Zhu Houzhao's life is by no means limited to a leopard room.

However, standing outside the leopard room at this moment, looking at Zhu Houzhao, whose eyes exuded a soft and warm light next to him, and then looking at the small bazaar that was imaginary for the emperor to play alone, Qin Kan suddenly felt a deep sadness hit his heart.

really blended into this era, only to realize how ridiculous and ridiculous it was written in the history books hundreds of years later.

What Qin Kan saw in his eyes at this moment was just a young emperor who was immersed in endless loneliness, this emperor was rich in the world, but he only wanted a home that really belonged to him, a pure land that belonged to him.

The palace is just a palace, it is a cold house full of majesty and luxury, those houses are too big for him to be too empty and empty, it can make the world worship, but it is not qualified to be a home.

A person who has wings in his heart can't close a big house.

Everyone stood outside the construction site of the leopard house, silently watching the busy and visible progress of the project, but the joy in Zhu Houzhao's eyes could not be concealed.

Pointing to the undulating houses in the distance, Zhu Houzhao smiled and said: "Qin Kan, you see, that is my home, and in two months, I will move into the leopard house, and I have a home." ”

Turning his head to look at Qin Kan, who looked quite uncalm, Zhu Houzhao said very seriously: "After moving in, I invite you to come to the house as a guest, and I will make a soup for you with my own hands, because you are my first honored guest." ”

A faint touch came to his heart, Qin Kan smiled and said: "According to folk customs, guests should also bring some gifts when they go to the host's house, the gift will not be too expensive, maybe it is just a box of snacks bought in the neighborhood, two feet of silk cloth, at that time, please take me, a guest, to visit your home, this is also the owner's obligation." ”

Qin Kan's words were obviously very much in line with Zhu Houzhao's appetite, Zhu Houzhao's eyes lit up, and he nodded with a smile: "Okay, I will definitely take you to see my whole home, it is completely mine, Qin Kan, I will prepare a long-term courtyard for you in the leopard room, when you want to come as a guest, you will live in." ”

Qin Kan smiled gently: "My wife has a fierce temperament, I must have a time when I am alone and ask for help, your room must be prepared for me early, one day I will live in it with scars, you have to accompany me to drink and pour out my sorrows, listen to me complain, complain about depression, you must know that a man who has become a relative will definitely have many complaints and complaints about life, you must be patient at that time, maybe you will have such a ......day in the future."

Zhu Houzhao smiled and said: "Definitely, even if your wife knocks on the door, I will not allow her to enter, and I will keep you safe for a moment if you are in my house." ”

The two monarchs and ministers looked at each other and smiled, their laughter was fierce and heroic, mixed with a little sadness that no one could hear.

Liu Jin stood behind the two, listening to their laughter, and couldn't help but flash a deep hatred in his eyes.

Liu Jin sensitively noticed that they were all referred to as "you and me" in their conversation just now, at this moment they are not monarchs and ministers, but real confidants, just like many confidants who have been famous through the ages, they have no barriers, and they are completely open to each other, such a relationship cannot be achieved by Liu Jin in his life.

An inexplicable fear grabbed Liu Jin's heart.

Your Majesty can have no house slaves, but how can Your Majesty not have this close friend? Which is the higher or lower position of Liu Jin and Qin Kan in His Majesty's heart?

Liu Jin couldn't compare, he didn't dare to compare.

A fast horse galloped over, far away from Zhu Houzhao and Qin Kan, but was stopped by the guards of the forbidden palace in civilian clothes, and a group of guards around him showed a vigilant look in their eyes.

Immediately, the knight also knew the rules very well, and dismounted honestly, but shouted anxiously in the direction of Qin Kan: "Master Hou, the eldest lady, please hurry back to the house, the second lady is about to give birth!" ”
