Zhu Houzhao likes a little cool weather, and now is the right time.

But Liu Jin and these people didn't feel comfortable, especially when the prince mentioned Zhang Tianrui, they only felt that a cold air rushed straight to their brains from their backs, and they had a feeling in their hearts that the prince was getting worse and harder.

Fortunately, Liu Jin reacted quickly, after all, he was experienced, and immediately said with a smiling face: "Your Highness, Zhang Zhongyun is sick." ”

"Sick?" Zhu Houzhao was a little suspicious, but he didn't feel the change in the atmosphere, these people all had different degrees of changes in their faces after he spoke.

How normal is it for an official to be sick and not on duty, so why do these people have abnormal reactions?

An old fox like Liu Jin is not leaking.

Zhu Houzhao paced slowly again, his eyes swept over the faces of every eunuch,

Zhang Yong, Gu Dayong...... These people all have their heads down,

Perhaps it was a gut feeling that these people were hiding something from him.

So there was a sense of arrogance in my heart.

In fact, the eunuch has some problems, he can understand it, and he doesn't expect to be surrounded by great sages who are dedicated to the public and have no selfish hearts.

He himself is not a selfless man.

However, eunuchs were born dependent on imperial power, and they had to obtain the value of existence in this way of extending the will of imperial power.

And the emperor and crown prince should not be guided to do anything to achieve their own ends.

Liu Jin has this problem.

For example, what is the purpose of him guiding the crown prince to have fun? Is it to gain the trust of the prince, and what is the purpose of gaining trust? It's not for the country and the people, is it? He is to gain power for himself and become a power prisoner to satisfy his desire for power.

In essence, it is a kind of proxy imperial power.

This is where Zhu Houzhao can't agree.

He was already thinking about the way to treat Liu Jin, and Li Guang's incident appeared appropriately, just when it was time to see his choice and performance......

Now you are still hitting the muzzle of the gun, there is a way in heaven that you don't go, and there is no door in hell for you to break into.

Speaking of which, if Liu Jin is moved, you can also see how Li Guang reacts......

Da, da, da......

With the footsteps of the crown prince, Liu Jin could hear his heartbeat nervously.

Suddenly, the crown prince stopped and stood in front of a eunuch who had no chance to speak on a regular basis.

"Look me in the eye." Zhu Houzhao said.

"Temple...... Your Highness ......"

"Deception, concealment...... Once discovered, it is a capital offense. ”

The more insipid he said these words, the more terrifying they became.

The young eunuch was frightened, his mouth trembled, his eyes flew wildly, and his face turned pale and he immediately knelt down.

Then he lay on the ground and crawled to Liu Jin's side!

"Father-in-law Liu, father-in-law Liu, help!"

Liu Jin was shocked and kicked him away, "Something that doesn't open your eyes!" Your Highness is in charge! What am I going to save your life?! ”

"Your Highness!" Liu Jin also knelt down, "This kid was so frightened that he lost his soul, and he started talking nonsense!" Your Highness, please! ”

He knelt down like this, and Zhang Yong and the others could only kneel, so a group of eunuchs knelt on the ground.

There is no need to ask more about this situation, there must be something going on behind the scenes.

But Zhang Tianrui, a small six-rank official, also offended the crown prince, what value can he have?

Zhu Houzhao thought about it and couldn't figure it out.

He rubbed his fingers, and his eyes fell on the little eunuch who was so frightened that he lost his soul, "Aren't you going to tell me?" Keep it a secret? ”

"Temple...... Your Highness, this, this is none of my business, Your Highness spare your life! ”

Zhu Houzhao observed that he secretly glanced at Liu Jin, but in fact, he still asked for help.

This person can't be let go, otherwise Liu Jin will kill him.

"Liu Jin, he asked you for help, what did you say?"

Liu Jin is not an ordinary person, and given time, he also thought clearly in his heart.

"Your Highness, Zhang Zhongyun was unable to be on duty due to illness, and the slave and maid knew about this. As for this man, perhaps he did something wrong, and he was frightened at the palace, so he asked the slave and maid for help. But what he did, the slave and the maid really didn't know, let alone the slave and the maid instigated. ”

"Oh." Zhu Houzhao had already sat down, his hand on the table, and his index finger tapping regularly.

Liu Jin spoke,

Actually, it's not right.

He minded.

Very minded.

Because things have come to this point, Liu Jin didn't even hurry to say that he didn't know about it, so it shows that he has enough confidence that even if he is tortured, this little eunuch will never dare to confess to him.

To put it bluntly, it may be because the prince is too young and still a child, which has caused Liu Jin's weight in the East Palace to reach an unstoppable level.

This person, it is not possible to fight it.

Wenchen and eunuchs need to be balanced, and there is actually a balance between eunuchs and eunuchs.

Zhang Tianrui's matter may also be related to this,

If this is the case, after Zhang Tianrui was by Liu Jin, Liu Jin was safe and sound, and Zhang Tianrui lost power from then on.

And then this time I gently peeled it off,

After that, it was really Gonggong Liu who spoke loudly in the East Palace, saying one thing or another.

So Zhu Houzhao minds very much, Liu Jin's words are to pit himself,

In the past, it was okay to do this, but the prince at that time did not have this political sensitivity.

But now it's different, and it's up to him to know it's different.

"What's your name?" After thinking about it, Zhu Houzhao was not in a hurry, and asked slowly.

The little eunuch wept and replied, "Qiyu...... Too...... Prince, the slave and maid are called peace. ”

"Peace, you don't have to be afraid."

"Thanks... Your Highness. ”

"Zhang Yong."

"The slave is here."

"Take peace down and shut it up, and offer it with good food and drink. No one is allowed to visit the prison or deliver letters without my orders. Every day you deliver food yourself, and if he is killed, you don't have to come to me to ask for your sins and apologize for your sins. ”

When Zhang Yong heard this, his body tightened, "The slave obeys the order!" ”

At this time, Zhu Houzhao looked at Liu Jin again and found that he was trying to stay calm, like a person who had nothing to do.

But Liu Jin was already in chaos in his heart,

Today's reaction and decision of the prince is by no means what he expected in the past!

The prince has completely changed!

"Since you obey the order, then go quickly, and don't waste any more time. Remember, He lives and you live, and He dies and you die. Don't tell me that he was scared to death, or accidentally fell to his death while walking, I just look at the results, he is terminally ill tonight, and you have to find a doctor to cure him, understand? ”

This is already very heavy,

Zhang Yong didn't dare to slack off a little, "The slave understands, from now on Ping'an is my own grandfather." ”

"Well, that's good." Zhu Houzhao deliberately praised, "I have always been at ease with your work, and this time I will be rewarded for doing this well." ”

"Your Highness! The slave and maid are gone! ”

Zhang Yong is also a smart person, he knows that the prince wants to investigate this matter deeply, and he will investigate it to the end, so he categorically can't let Ping'an have an accident.

After the people left, the crown prince picked up the bow and arrow again and practiced, not talking to Liu Jin, nor letting him get up.

This silence is torturous.

It wasn't until I was tired and thirsty that I stopped.

"Liu Jin,"

The old eunuch knelt for a long time, and suddenly heard the prince calling him, and he had already begun to feel that his scalp was numb, and it was really like a great enemy!

"The slave is here."

"You have served me many years, and my heart is not made of stone. I'll give you another chance, as long as you tell the truth, I won't blame the past. If not...... Think it out for yourself. Qiu Yun,"

The girl serving tea didn't expect the prince to suddenly call her,

Today she was also very honest, and saluted sideways: "Your Highness." ”

"Now go and ask for peace, and say...... Just said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was angry, and Liu Jin had already explained. However, he had intended to conceal this prince, and if he wanted to absolve him of this sin in this verse, he would confess what he knew. If it's the same as Liu Jin said, this crime can be forgiven, if it's different, it's... Sink the river. ”

"The slave obeys."

This was said in front of Liu Jin, and the incident happened suddenly, and these two people didn't have time to discuss and make up the same set of arguments.

This method is very absolute, the news cannot be transmitted, what if Ping An really believes that he has confessed?

The old eunuch has been serving a real child for so many years, where has he ever felt such pressure of life and death!

In an instant, the mental defense line was close to collapse.

"Your Highness......"

"You don't have to explain much. I'm not in a hurry to hear your explanations either. Zhu Houzhao interrupted him and didn't give him a chance to speak, "Kneel down in front of the hall of the Chufang Palace, and think carefully about what I have said to you from yesterday to this moment." I'll talk to you after thinking about it, this is my last chance for you. ”

Liu Jin suddenly understood that His Highness had all that was intentional yesterday!
