Chapter 2: The Eve of the Enthronement
The sound of the fight in the prince's bedroom had already spread, and Zhang Ying, the commander of the forbidden army who protected the palace, arrived, and when he saw the corpse in the palace, he was shocked, his face turned pale in an instant, and he knelt down in a hurry to plead guilty.
"Zhang Ying, the commander of the forbidden army, has seen His Highness, let the assassin disturb His Highness, the capital crime of the last general."
Why did Zhang Ying come so quickly, he is King Ning's person, the matter has been revealed, and unconsciously, it has been exposed, but Zhu Houzhao didn't expect that at this time, who wants to kill him?
He ignored Zhang Ying, but turned his head to look at the miserable Liu Jin and praised; "Today, you sacrificed your life to protect the palace, and your loyalty is commendable, very good, very good."
Liu Jin was immediately overjoyed, and thanked him for his kindness, "Thank you Your Highness for the compliment, the slave only has His Highness in her heart, and she doesn't dare to praise His Highness." "I never thought that I would be praised by the prince one day, no matter what I did wrong or right before, I was a dog slave, and I was a fool to drink, it seems that I really entered the prince's heart this time.
Zhang Ying knelt and no one paid attention to him, and he didn't dare to get up, I don't know what Zhu Houzhao meant, or did he find something?
Zhu Hou looked at Zhang Ying who was kneeling not far in front of him, after all, his vision and experience were not comparable to ordinary people, the experience of the eighth generation told him that this assassination was not simple, at least Zhang Ying in front of him was a big problem, outside the prince's bedroom, there was no one to protect him, so that the assassin eunuch with a sword could easily enter, saying that there was no problem with the forbidden army, is it possible?
And everything after Zhang Ying came in, in Zhu Houzhao's eyes, there is nothing to hide, but I don't know the person behind him, I don't figure it out, like a fish in my throat, although I knew my fate early, but now with the memory of my previous life reincarnation, even if fate is like this, I want to change something.
"Zhang Ying, you came at the right time, why are you guilty? Take someone to clean up here, don't alarm anyone, especially where is the queen mother, understand? If anyone leaks it out, there will be no mercy, so retreat. Zhu Houzhao said in a deep voice.
Liu Jin's heart tightened, and suddenly there was a strange feeling, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in front of him seemed to have changed, if it was before, maybe there would be a big fuss, and he and Zhang Ying couldn't say that it would be a whipping.
Zhang Ying also felt the same way, but he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, at least it's good for now, "The last general, retire." ”
Zhang Dacai accepted all the memories of Zhu Houzhao, as well as his feelings, the whole person became more complicated, the loneliness and depression of the previous lives seemed to have a rhythm of release, he quietly watched Zhang Ying withdraw from the hall, and the body was quietly taken away, only then did he look at Liu Jin and said lightly; "Liu Jin."
"What does Your Highness command?" Liu Jin said flatteringly.
Zhu Houzhao said in a deep voice; "Dog minion, you're so daring."
"Smack!" Liu Jin hurriedly knelt down, his forehead banging on the ground.
"The slave and the maid deserve to die, but the slave and the maid are very bold, and the slave and the maid really don't know what happened today." didn't know his own explanation, which made Zhu Houzhao think that something was strange at this time.
After a short period of excitement, there is a burst of fear, If you are assassinated inexplicably like this, this life is too sad, fortunately, your life should not be extinguished, there are only more than ten years to enjoy it, no matter what your fate is, at least the current self is the future emperor, those who threaten their existence, if you want to get rid of it, you must do it early, and you must not be soft.
"Oh, so you mean that you know who did the assassination? The dog slave is not honest and explains, saying, what do you know, 1510 explain clearly. Zhu Houzhao asked in a deep voice.
Things have come to this point, it's impossible to get lucky, Liu Jin is actually very afraid, he was just greedy for some silver, but he didn't expect that it would make him fall into it now, if he said it, his dog life would be difficult to protect, if he didn't say it, His Royal Highness would not let go, and he would definitely be scraped alive, according to this lord's temper, this is very possible, weigh it, it is better to explain it quickly, and maybe there is a turnaround.
Liu Jin burst into tears, full of remorse, and sobbed; "Your Royal Highness, the slave and maid are guilty, the slave and the maid should die, the slave and the maid are dizzy, a few days ago, His Royal Highness King Ning sent a sum of silver to the slave and maid, and asked the slave and the maid to help say good things, His Royal Highness knows, the slave and the maid are timid, and they dare not agree, but His Royal Highness King Ning is the prince after all, and the slave and the maid dare not refuse, so they accepted it, but there is no other meaning, today's matter, the slave and the maid really don't know, it is the slave and the maid who are greedy for money, and the slave and the maid should die, and please spare the slave and the maid This time, the slave and the maid will never dare again."
Zhu Houzhao watched him perform coldly, didn't speak, and said to himself in his heart, "This dead eunuch just appeared too timely, either he knew something in advance and came in a hurry, or he was still a little afraid, and it was not hopeless, I still use him now, if I am obedient, just keep it, maybe it will be of great use in the future." ”
"Get up."
Liu Jin hurriedly got up, bowed to the side and stood aside, cautious, but he didn't know that he had already been closed by the ghost gate, this one was not the previous foolish prince, but the human spirit who had reincarnated in the eighth generation, who could be bullied? Liu Jin breathed a sigh of relief, at least this level had passed.
Zhu Houzhao pondered his words, Ning Wang Zhu Chenhao? Damn, I just came here, and I was right with you, I want Lao Tzu's throne, but unfortunately, Lao Tzu has seen through it, you don't have a chance, Lao Tzu won't give you a chance, Lao Tzu still has more than ten years to waste, even if you are destined to die well, you can't die in your hands, if you want Lao Tzu to die, Lao Tzu will kill you first, see how you rebel.
"This matter, don't leak it, all those who know today's events must be shut up, if there is a word that shouldn't be leaked out, be careful about your dog's life." Zhu Houzhao said viciously.
Liu Jin hurriedly bowed to the ground again, and repeatedly promised that today's events would not be spread out, and his body kept trembling, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has really changed, if he was beaten in the past, he would be able to grasp it better than the current tone.
Zhu Hou took care of it, and only then was he satisfied, and he opened his mouth indifferently, and he was going to give the dates when he hit it, half of it was a threat, half of it was a promise; "This palace wants you to do one thing, this matter must be done before the palace ascends the throne, and if it is done, the palace will not treat you badly in the future, if it is done badly, you will go to the imperial tomb to accompany the emperor."
Liu Jin is a person who is very good at doing things, otherwise he would not have gotten mixed to the point of "establishing an emperor", his ability is leveraged, and when he heard the words, he knew that his opportunity had come, could he do it? does not exist, with the name of the celebrity around his prince and the head of the Eight Tigers, is there anything he can't do well?
But when Zhu Houzhao told him what he was going to do, he knew how difficult things were, and even the vassal kings who might offend all the royal families, and they would have to shed their skin if they didn't die in the future, but, since the prince had ordered, for those who took Zheng He's father-in-law as the target, what else could he get His Royal Highness the prince, no, I can't say that the people around His Majesty, who will ascend the throne tomorrow, are stronger, forget it, let's die, our family may be able to go down in history in the future.
