"Godfather, there seems to be a big change in the East Palace, and Liu Jin was punished by His Royal Highness to kneel in front of the palace."

The white-haired eunuch who was sitting in front of the Buddha statue and closed his eyes and chanted silently opened his eyes, and he was the eunuch of the inner official, Li Guang.

Kneeling on the side and whispering was a little eunuch with a wide face and thin eyes, and he continued: "It is said that His Highness suddenly became troubled, and he was very happy and happy in archery, but I don't know if Liu Jin said the wrong thing or what, His Highness was suddenly quite annoyed. ”

That sounds weird.

Liu Jin has served His Royal Highness for so many years, and children will not easily hurt those close to them.

And Liu Jin is not stupid, this person can be said to be an expert who observes words and looks and is exquisite, what should be said and what should not be said is not clear?

Yesterday, Wenchen spoke, and he can still have the status of recovering His Highness's thoughts,

It's all of a sudden?

The little eunuch continued: "Recently, the East Palace has behaved strangely, and has been greatly praised by the ministers of the outer court in the name of benevolence and filial piety, which has never been done before. According to the news from there...... Donggong's words and deeds are becoming less and less like a child. ”

For Li Guang, these are not nothing.

He won the emperor's trust,

Whether the prince is naughty or smart, it has little to do with him,

But the problem is that the relationship between the prince and Wenchen suddenly became close,

At this juncture, Wenchen pulled the prince into the matter of bringing him down.

If Donggong is really that mature, then it can't be counted as a negligible party.

In fact, arguably the most critical party.

If Wenchen wins, Wenchen wins.

If he wins, he will sit firmly on the Diaoyu Tai.

Because in terms of favor and trust on the emperor's side, who can compare to the crown prince?

"Godfather, over there in the East Palace...... We can't afford to ignore it any longer. Besides, with Liu Jin's status, he was blamed by the prince like this, which means that ......"

The latter words are actually already coming out.

Li Guang himself knows, "It shows that the prince's heart is for civil officials." ”

yes

This is another purpose of Zhu Houzhao against Liu Jin.

Li Guang's matter, except for Wang Wei who said it here, has not made any waves so far.

If there are no waves, the water will be extremely clear, and the water will be extremely clear, how can you fish in troubled waters? You can't fish in troubled waters, so how can you eat fish?

So he wanted to stir things up.

See who will move and how.

"Changqing, how credible do you think Liu Jin's words yesterday are?"

Li Guang refers to Liu Jin sending people to spread the word,

One is a complaint, Wang Wei is vainly trying to use the power of the East Palace to bring him down.

The second is to invite merit, and the prince has been appeased by him Liu Jin.

The wide-faced and thin-eyed eunuch named Changqing said: "My son thinks that Liu Jin's words can be believed. If it weren't true, he could have secretly corresponded, and he could still have a good idea of his godfather. But if you say that the bad is good, it is pure door-to-door deception, and he can't do such a stupid thing. ”

Li Guang snorted, and also felt that this was the most likely.

Whether it's good or bad, as long as he tells the truth, he can sell a love, but the consequences of lying are serious, and he won't think about it.

"But godfather, my son thinks that it is precisely because the East Palace has a good impression of us that he has to fight harder, His Royal Highness is still young after all, and now that Liu Jin is gone, if the civil officials talk nonsense like this every day...... It's also bad for us. ”

Oh, yes

This Liu Jin was suddenly reprimanded by the prince, which brought too many variables.

There was no one to speak for him in the East Palace in the future.

After listening to it for a long time, Li Guang also had an idea.

"Changqing, you go and inquire immediately now, what happened to Liu Jin, why is the prince angry with him, come back and inform me as soon as you know about it."

"Yes, godfather."

"As for the East Palace, it's really time for the godfather to show his face......"

……

……

"Loyalty, filial piety, benevolence...... It's all there. ”

Zhu Houzhao threw the words he had practiced into a charcoal basin and burned them.

It was Liu Jin who knelt outside, and everyone inside was kicked out by him except Qiu Yun.

Li Guang is a person, he searched his own memories, and he was slightly impressed, but this impression was not very useful......

It's that he's greedy for a lot of money,

What morally corrupt eunuch doesn't covet some silver?

This is not based on historical memory.

Not.. It's not useless, but if you can get the money back, the harvest is not bad.

After all, he has a lot of ideas, and he needs money to start it.

Now my side is almost figured out and arranged, but there is still an important participant in this game.

"Your Highness," was Zhang Yong's voice,

"Come in."

"Your Majesty has gone down to noon."

Zhu Houzhao gathered his sleeves and threw everything he had written during his analysis into the brazier and burned it.

"Got it, come with me to see my father in a while. By the way, what do you say about peace? Have you confessed? ”

Zhang Yongyu said: "Return to Your Highness." Peace still said he didn't know anything. ”

"I guess I'm struggling, I'm not sure if Liu Jin really confessed. It's also difficult for him, not saying that I want his life, saying that Liu Jin wants his life. ”

The prince's words were unusually calm, but listening to Zhang Yong's heart was turbulent, how could a seven-year-old child know so much about this kind of thing?

"Originally, I didn't want to be so ......," Zhu Houzhao sighed, "Go and tell these two people separately, who will explain who I spared first, and who will explain who I killed later." ”

This is in a sense the prisoner's dilemma.

The torture for the person concerned is very heavy.

After all, in the palace, I don't go to hell and there are still few people who go to hell,

If you say you can live in the morning, and you will die in the evening, don't you say earlier that you are waiting to go to the grave?

"I'll go see my father first. You'll tell me the results when I get back. ”

"Your Highness!"

Zhang Yong clenched his fists, and suddenly knelt down after a few thoughts in his heart.

"Your Highness, the slave is willing to intercede for Gonggong Liu."

Zhu Houzhao was originally walking out,

When I heard this, I was very surprised,

This is inconsistent with his judgment of Zhang Yong.

"Tell me why."

Zhang Yong has a little more temperament than Liu Jin.

He lifted off his shirt and knelt down,

"The minister interceded for Liu Jin, not for Liu Jin, but for His Royal Highness."

Zhu Houzhao thought this was interesting, so he turned around and listened,

"Liu Jin has served His Royal Highness for many years, without merit and hard work, although there are occasional omissions, and even selfishness, but His Royal Highness's filial piety is not half fake. His Royal Highness has been smart and lovely since he was a child, and the slaves and maids have watched His Highness grow up since he was a child, how can they not be full of affection for His Highness in their hearts? His Highness killed him, wouldn't there be one less person who was dedicated to His Highness? This is one of them. ”

"Second, His Highness had a benevolent name before, and it spread both inside and outside, and everyone knew it. His Highness's words and deeds have attracted much attention, even more than ever. In the eyes of outsiders, Liu Jin is an old man next to His Royal Highness, if he makes a mistake and teaches a few boards, this is also what he should do. But if it is just because of Zhang Tianrui, he will be punished with thunder, and it will inevitably be ...... Inevitably, there will be ......"

"You mean to say that there is a reputation for being mean and unkind?" Zhu Houzhao said in his place.

"Slaves don't dare!" Zhang Yong touched the ground with his head.

"Having said it all, why don't you dare?"

But Zhang Yong's sentence is right, Zhang Tianrui's weight is light after all, if he kills Liu Jin like this, it is indeed not the best policy.

"Please make a clear decision, Your Highness!"
