Things have reached this point as if they can't be covered up.

Yongkang Hou Xu Qi is actually not a small age, from the eighteenth year of Chenghua to the present twenty years, he himself has passed the age of ear shun, although the body bones are okay, but after all, it is this age, the news of the assassin's death and defeat came, directly scared him into paralysis, and the whole person also fell to the ground,

Countless years flashed in his mind in an instant, in fact, his line has only been passed down for three generations, Xu Zhong in the Yongle period was his grandfather, and after his death, he was posthumously awarded the title of Duke Cai by Emperor Taizong.

His father Xu An Yongle inherited the title of Marquis of Yongkang for 16 years, until the 17th year of Chenghua, and enjoyed the title of 64 years, it can be said that everything is safe and sound, and even escaped the catastrophe of Tumu Fort.

How did he come to him and suddenly come to a great disaster?

So for a while, I was completely overwhelmed and panicked.

And for Zhu Houzhao, what angered him the most was that someone was framing Gu Liqing,

As the eucalyptus of the salt class gradually surfaced, the real problem was Zou Cheng, and the good minister Gu Zuo in his impression was still in prison for the imperial court.

Since this is the truth,

So what is the explanation of what happened in the palace that day?

You reported that Zheng Zhou, the eunuch in charge of Shangshan, was particularly honest recently, he didn't contact other people, and he didn't care about other things, even if he left the palace, he did what he should do according to the regulations.

It's hard to catch the slightest mistake.

Zhu Houzhao took the newspaper he had just gotten in his hand, which said that Yongkang Hou Xu Qi couldn't bear it and had gone out of the house to ask for help.

This made him laugh angrily, "The lords enjoy glory and wealth in the world, and they are already inferior to the next generation, but by my side, there is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger, and there is no trace of it at all." But the ministers don't have to worry about so much, you can take someone to arrest him and interrogate him carefully! Even a steel tooth has to be pried open by me! ”

There have always been disadvantages of salt classes.

There is nothing to be angry about as an emperor for this kind of thing, and if you don't check him, you know that there are cheats.

The point is that these people have reached the point where they can collaborate with their ministers to convey the wrong message to the emperor, and this kind of internal and external collusion has always been a capital crime unless the lord of mediocrity!

And what is the nature of conspiracy to frame loyal ministers?

If he was a little impulsive and slashed Gu Zuo, then what face would he have to demand from himself as a generation of saints?

So the more Zhu Houzhao thought about it, the more angry he became.

He is a person who can try not to be cruel as much as possible, so some terrible punishments in the Ming Dynasty were stopped by him, but sometimes people who touch the red line are really unforgivable.

You Zhi got the order here, and after ordering the people, he went straight to the Shang Shan Supervisor,

In addition to a eunuch Zheng Zhou that day, there was also a palace maid Chunhe he was familiar with.

The eunuch was more ruthless than ordinary people, and the emperor loosened his mouth, especially when he arrived at Shangshan, he was asking for it.

Zheng Zhou was really a little caught off guard, he originally felt that he was cautious, and there should be no problem.

So when the celebrant came to arrest him and pressed him to the ground, he still raised his head and shouted that he had been wronged.

You Ji pinched his face and moved roughly, "Are you still wronged?" Your Majesty, you dare to lie, what else do you dare not do? ”

Zheng Zhou was frightened in his heart, but his face was still as usual,

"Father-in-law You, the slave maid is just a little master of Shangshan Supervisor who no one cares about, and he has never even seen His Majesty's face, how can he lie to His Majesty? Besides, even if you have this opportunity, the slave doesn't have the courage to do so! ”

What he said was actually right, and the emperor did not take the initiative to show up that day.

In fact, it was Zheng Zhou's private chatter with acquaintances, and he didn't want to tell the emperor, how could he deceive the emperor?

But as Zhu Houzhao said before, there is not so much evidence to talk about in the palace's disposal of ministers.

The other little eunuchs in Shangshan Prison also lowered their heads and did not dare to speak.

Not only did You Ji ignore his quibbles, but he also glanced at everyone and snorted angrily.

If anyone makes any small moves in this gap, the ending is just as tragic.

Zheng Zhou was carried away like this, and when he arrived at the celebrant supervisor, he found a room and tied it up and threw it in, and the door was jammed and closed, and then things here were more scary.

Zheng Zhou has been in the palace for decades, and he is very familiar with this set, he is an official, and he has basically done similar things to other people, so he is very familiar with all this.

Before the punishment began to move, the face began to cry and mourn.

"Father-in-law You, just spare the slave and maid. The slave really didn't deceive Your Majesty...... Your Majesty hasn't said a word to the slave or maid until now......"

"When our family first entered the palace, His Majesty repeatedly warned that in the Forbidden City, the most important thing is two words, sincerity." You Ji patted his face lightly, "You are very insincere, basically you have a hard time to live, and you are blessed and hard to enjoy!" ”

By the end, the words had become sinister.

To deal with this kind of person, You Ji is too lazy to talk nonsense, so he will say hello first.

He tore a rag and gagged him so that he wouldn't scream, and went on ...... And it began.

……

……

Outside the palace.

Yongkang Hou Xu Qi made more and more mistakes in his increasingly panicked mood.

He couldn't hold back in the mansion, and he thought about who he wanted to intercede in order for the emperor to open up to him.

In fact, such a person is not easy to find, because the emperor has been on the throne for a while, and many people have gradually mastered his temperament.

This is deliberate by Zhu Houzhao, he just wants to tell the ministers that some things can be done, and some things must not be done. This kind of thing is better on the surface than a moody personality, right?

So Yongkang Hou really thought about it for a long time, and finally thought of someone.

This person's identity is a little strange, but he really can't think of a serious way.

This person is Cui Yuan, the commander of the horses, who married Princess Yongkang, and Princess Yongkang is the second daughter of Emperor Xianzong, in other words, Zhu Houzhao's aunt.

And Zhu Houzhao, an uncle, is quite virtuous, and "beautiful posture, reading books, and good poetry." The relatives of the lords and ministers are all self-proclaimed, and the ministers and ministers are friends with them",

In fact, Zhu Houzhao has more than one uncle, and Princess Renhe and Princess Deqing are still alive at this time. But none of their horses have such popularity as Cui Yuan.

Historically, after the death of Emperor Zhengde, Cui Yuanlai, the commander of the horses, made a merit of going to Anlu, Hubei to pick up Zhu Houxi. It's not an easy credit to come by. Later, Cui Yuan was reused by Emperor Jiajing because of this, and he himself was indeed conscientious all his life.

It shows that Cui Yuan's 'virtuous name' actually makes everyone have a good impression of him. Of course, this includes the emperor.

Whenever there is something in the royal family, or when it coincides with some sacrificial activities, Princess Yongkang and Cui Yuan, the captain of the horse, will always appear, and some time ago, Princess Yongkang was also named the eldest princess of Yongkang.

Zhu Houzhao has no brothers and sisters, so he can only go to reward the sister of Emperor Hongzhi to reflect the royal family's 'way of kissing'.

However, Yongkang Hou thought of using the way of kissing, Cui Yuan and his wife didn't dare, as soon as he came to the door, Cui Yuan was directly scared and jumped on the spot.

"The day before yesterday, Your Majesty just warned the ministers about this! Master Xu, how can you be so laked at this time?! ”

"This ...... I didn't want to do that, but I don't know how things suddenly got so tricky. I can't help it......"

Cui Yuan is a person who reads well, knows a lot of truth, and has a lively brain.

At this juncture, Jinyiwei must be checking on the eucalyptus, Yongkang Hou suddenly came to his house, isn't this a burden?

Thinking like this, I feel a little angry in my heart,

"Master Xu, I advise you to go and confess to Your Majesty earlier. Your Majesty's temperament, you never say it, but in the end it is really called to find out, then it is a powerless to return to the sky! ”

But Emperor Zhengde has already given people a sense of harshness,

How dare Yongkang Hou confess directly?

"Your Majesty may be angry now, if I tell you about it, my Xu family will be finished!" The Marquis of Yongkang cried as he spoke, "So far, I don't expect Your Majesty to spare me, but I really know my mistake, if I hand over all the money I have obtained over the years to the imperial court, can I make Your Majesty dissipate his anger and leave the title of Marquis Yongkang of the Xu family?" Cui Juma, Your Majesty favors the eldest princess of Yongkang, and now only you and your wife can save me. ”

Cui Yuanxin said, our husband and wife are not very involved in the affairs of the court, why is it that only we can save you? It's not that the emperor is more serious about these things, and there is really no one in the court who can speak!

For him, it was inexplicable.

It's just that he can't bear to see such a miserable old man like Yongkang Hou here.

And Yongkang Hou knew Cui Yuan's 'good old man's temperament so he came, at this time, when he saw that his face was unbearable, hope rose in his heart, and he added another fire to his actions,

"I also know that this is difficult, if it doesn't work...... I, I fell down on my knees and begged you. ”

After the words, he really wanted to kneel.

Cui Yuan is not yet thirty, he has been studying since he was a child, he can be said to be cultured and polite, how could he let an old man kneel in front of him, so he hurriedly supported him, "Master Xu, by all means." Aren't you going to give me my life? ”

"Did Cui Douma agree?"

Cui Yuan frowned, "If we go to intercede with Your Majesty, we must be clear." Therefore, what exactly you have done must be explained to Your Majesty 1510, and at that time, Hou Ye Xu, this is our 'denunciation' of you! And instead of being denounced by others, Marquis Xu might as well say it himself, so that His Majesty may still remember the past points and friendship and be punished lightly. ”

"Cui Yuma, I just don't dare, so I came to beg you!"

Cui Yuan also felt that it was particularly difficult to handle, and he was not willing to get involved in such a troublesome lawsuit.

However, Yongkang Hou's actions made him have to make a choice. Because he knows it now, even Jinyiwei's side will know that he knows,

And knowing but not reporting it is called not reporting it, and it is also a crime of cover-up.

But Yongkang Hou walked on the front foot, and he entered the palace on the back foot, which actually gave people the feeling of a villain.

Neither is it right......

If you sit up straight, as long as you are innocent, why worry too much, when the time comes, it will not be beautiful if you pull deeper and deeper.

"Hou Ye Xu, you really don't have to beg me. Neither I nor the eldest princess could open this mouth. Your Majesty treats us as relatives, how can we bear to embarrass Your Majesty? If you don't get it right, it will add fuel to the fire. ”

Although Cui Yuan is very unbearable, it is a big matter, and it is not a matter of his personal feelings.

Yongkang Hou was disappointed, and he also felt a little unsure of what to do next.

After all, he is an elder, kneeling down is just talking, and he has been pampered all his life, how can he have such a thick skin.

However, when he made such a play, his movements were ugly and full of flaws, which made it even more difficult to stop this eruption.
