Chapter 542: Forgiveness
(Thank you for the commuter pass of "Baba Bear 123" and "hhnet123"!) )
The whole hall echoed Zhu Luo's crisp voice, she will go out to meet Zhao Mingliang, and then go to the prince to inquire about the news, but the prince is not in the palace, where did she know that it was Qian Sun Ai who was behind the scenes in charge of the eunuch Huang Gou'er, and then went to the garrison in the imperial city, and sent thirty Praetorian Guards in the name of Zhao Hu to arrest Qian Sun Ai. After Qian Sun Ai came, he knew that he had made a big mistake by using the Praetorian Guard without an invitation, so he came to ask his father for the guilt now.
Zhu Hongsan sat on the dragon chair behind the desk and listened to Zhu Luo's words silently, he knew very well what kind of temperament his daughter had, domineering, rude, willful, and didn't have a long brain in doing anything, but she couldn't think of and couldn't do this kind of private use of the Praetorian Guard, there must be something about Zhao Hu in this. Thinking of this, Zhu Hongsan couldn't help but be moved with murderous intent, Zhu Luo doesn't know that you, Zhao Hu, as an officer of the Praetorian Guard, can you not know? Is it possible to mobilize 300 or 3,000 people tomorrow without asking for a decree today?
Now the atmosphere in the Wenhua Hall is very depressing, Zhu Luo has finished speaking, and Zhao Hu and Zhao Hu are kneeling on the ground and waiting for the fate. And Emperor Zhu Hongsan didn't say a word, just sat on the dragon chair and gently flicked the handle with his fingers. Zhu Hongyi, who was on the side, knew that Zhu Hongsan was unsure of what to do.
Zhu Hongyi looked at the two kneeling below, and his heart was half dead, Zhu Luo is not sensible, are you Zhao Hu also ignorant? Although Zhu Luo took all the responsibility for this incident, the three people in the room were all political veterans, and they didn't believe that Zhao Hu didn't know anything about it. Thinking of this, Zhu Hongyi couldn't help but be anxious for his son, this matter can be big or small, it is all in the emperor's thoughts.
Zhu Hongyi was anxious, but Li Chengen was happy in his heart, he had long been disgusted with Zhu Hongyi's practices of the Huguang faction, a while ago Li Chengen started to clean up Qian Lide, and was finally disturbed by Zhu Hongyi, now your son Zhu Hongyi made a mistake, see how you are saving!
There was silence in the room for ten minutes, and Zhu Hongsan's unique deep voice resounded in the room.
"Zhao Hu, what do you think about this matter?"
Zhao Hu listened to the emperor ask about himself, gritted his teeth and replied: "Your Majesty, what the princess just said is the truth, but one of them is wrong, it is not that the princess used the Praetorian Guard without telling her subordinates, the Praetorian Guards were ordered by her subordinates, and her subordinates are willing to take all the responsibilities!" ”
As soon as Zhao Hu's words came out, Zhu Hongyi breathed a sigh of relief, his son doesn't have to die today. He knew that Zhu Hongsan was ruthless, but he also hated ruthless people the most, if Zhao Hu was afraid of being punished, he pushed 625 and put the responsibility on Zhu Luo, it would be troublesome. I didn't expect Zhao Hu, this kid to be honest on the surface, and a little splendid in his heart!
Li Chengen didn't expect Zhao Hu to be so righteous, and scolded in his heart: This kid is the same as his father, the five big and three rough ones still have this heart, you have to guard against it!
In fact, both of them misunderstood Zhao Hu, Zhao Hu was really afraid that his daughter-in-law would be punished, and the soldiers were originally sent by themselves, why did they push it to Zhu Luo, didn't Mr. Qian say something just now?
Zhu Luo saw Zhao Hu tell the truth, he was grateful, grabbed Zhao Hu's hand and said, "Husband, why did you tell the truth?" Let my father punish me alone! ”
Zhu Hongsan scolded in his heart when he saw the true feelings of the little couple: This Zhao Hu is quite interesting, if he puts all the responsibility on Luo'er, then don't complain about the old love.
But it's easy to say, but it's hard to do. Zhu Hongsan spared Zhao Hu simply, but the law of the imperial court is here, if Zhao Hu is not punished, how will he govern the army in the future.
Zhu Hongsan turned his head and saw Li Chengen on the side, and had an idea in his heart.
Zhu Hongsan didn't say how to deal with Zhao Hu, but sneered: "Chief Manager Li, you manage a good eunuch, a steward eunuch dares to spy on the royal secrets, do I have to report to you General Manager Li for everything I do in the future?" ”
As soon as Zhu Hongsan said this, Li Chengen was immediately frightened and sweated, he was the eunuch of the master of ceremonies, and he was nominally responsible for managing all the eunuchs, but there were hundreds of eunuchs in the palace, how could he take care of them. But what the emperor said just now was very heavy, Li Chengen quickly knelt down and slapped himself wildly with his hand, and then knelt on the ground and kowtowed to ask the emperor for forgiveness.
The Nanjing Forbidden City is in disrepair, the gold bricks on the ground are damaged, Li Chengen is unlucky to kowtow to the corner that happened to have a broken corner, Li Chengen knocked his forehead blood a few times, and the blood flowed all over his face, coupled with Li Chengen's desolate cry made the hall like hell.
Zhu Luo has been favored by Zhu Hongsan since he was a child, and he has never seen his father angry, and today is the first time he has seen the majesty of the emperor. Zhu Hongsan's words are not light or heavy, and Li Chengen, the chief eunuch of Dongchang, is worse than dead, and Zhu Luo couldn't help but tremble with fright when he saw this.
Zhu Hongsan looked at Li Chengen's bleeding head, and then said slowly: "Old dog, get up, I know that there are more eunuchs in the palace now, you can't take care of it, you have to set up a rule from today, and in the future, there will be palace people chewing their tongues behind their backs, you know how to do it!" ”
Hearing Zhu Hongsan say this, Li Chengen hurriedly stopped crying and said: "Emperor, it's all old slaves who can't discipline them, and old slaves know how to do it!" ”
Zhu Hongsan nodded and said, "You go and deal with the eunuch in the prince's mansion, and then clean up the East Palace, don't use everyone else!" ”
Li Chengen hurriedly got up and went out to clean up the unlucky yellow dog, Zhu Hongsan said to Zhao Hu who was kneeling on the ground: "Zhao Hu, as an officer of the Praetorian Guard, you knowingly committed a crime, go to the military justice department to receive thirty military sticks, and you don't need to be in the Praetorian Guard in the future, how to arrange to wait for the holy decree!" ”
Zhu Hongsan's treatment of Zhao Hu so lightly surprised Zhu Hongyi, he thought that he would be imprisoned for several years no matter how he said it, but he didn't expect that he would just be dismissed.
Zhu Hongyi bowed and saluted: "Thank you to His Majesty the Emperor for his extrajudicial kindness!" ”
Zhu Hongsan looked at Zhu Hongyi and said with a smile: "The eldest brother has seen the outside, how can the junior treat the eldest brother's son ruthlessly!" ”
After Zhu Hongsan finished speaking, he said lightly: "The eldest brother has been working harder and harder in the past few years, so don't take on the position of the Praetorian Guard, it just so happens that Han Sanqiang has approached me many times and wants to be released, this guy is unbalanced when he sees that his colleagues in the same period are now division commanders, so the eldest brother handed over the position of division commander and let Han Sanqiang be it, which just fulfilled his wish!" ”
Zhu Hongsan said politely, but when he heard Zhu Hongyi's ears, he couldn't help but feel a sinking in his heart, it seems that the emperor still had a bad idea for himself, and exchanged his most important position for the safety of his son Zhao Hu.
Zhu Hongyi, as the king of Wuchang County, has been by Zhu Hongsan's side since Zhu Hongsan first crossed, and has always been Zhu Hongsan's hardcore descendant. After Zhu Hongsan ascended the throne in Guangzhou, he handed over his net worth to Zhu Hongyi, and let Zhu Hongyi serve as the commander of the Praetorian Guard, the minister of the guard, the garrison of the Beijing Garrison Mansion, and the commander of the Zongren Mansion.
But as Zhu Hongyi's two sons grew up, they fell to the prince's camp, which made Zhu Hongsan's heart fluctuate a little. It's not that Zhu Hongsan is going to do what he wants to do to the prince, it's just that you, Zhu Hongyi, should be my person, what's the matter with your two sons now going to befriend the prince? What Zhu Hongsan was afraid of was that the prince would do something out of the ordinary under the instigation of some people after his full wings, so that Zhu Hongyi, who was in control of the Praetorian Guard, would be very dangerous. Zhu Hongsan, for the sake of his own power, don't say that Zhu Hongyi is just a cousin, that is, his brother and son must be guarded against.
Zhu Hongyi knew that with the emperor's order, half of the power in his hands would be reduced, but there was no way, in order to protect his son, he could only do so.
Zhu Hongyi knelt down to thank him, and Zhu Luo didn't expect that his father could handle this matter like this, which was no loss for Zhu Luo at all, but what she didn't know because of her lack of political experience was that her father-in-law had lost half of the power in his hands in order to protect Zhao Hu.
Zhu Hongsan looked at Zhu Luo, who was still kneeling, and scolded with a smile: "You dead girl, you don't get up yet, it's cold on the ground!" ”
Zhu Luo let out a sigh of relief, and he knew that his father would not be difficult for himself. Zhu Luo stood up and ran to Zhu Hongsan's side, and shouted in a coquettish voice: "Dad, you scared Luo'er to death, I knew you wouldn't punish us!" ”
At this moment, the little yellow door outside the door came in to report that the first assistant Chen Zizhuang and the concubine Qian had come to see him.
As soon as Zhu Hongsan heard that these people were coming, he knew that it was for Qian Sun's love, Zhu Hongsan said to Zhu Luo: "You dead girl, do you see it, the adults have come to you, and you want your father and me to wipe your ass!" ”
Zhu Luo shook Zhu Hongsan's hand and said coquettishly: "Who called you Luo'er's father, and your father will take care of Luo'er for the rest of his life?" ”
"Dead girl, you are all a big girl, and you are still so naughty, after a while, Old Master Chen will come, seeing that you are going to preach like this, don't stand aside!"
Zhu Luo stuck out her tongue, she was quite afraid of Chen Zizhuang, afraid that he would be serious and chattering, and now when she heard her father say this, she quickly pulled Zhao Hu to stand aside.
Chen Zizhuang, as the first assistant of the cabinet, is working in the cabinet today, and the cabinet has been busy in the past few days because it is close to the end of the year, but Ma Mingyuan, who is in charge of finance in the cabinet, is in a mood and has no choice but to personally take some people from the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Construction to settle accounts.
When Chen Zizhuang was so busy that he didn't expect someone from the family to come to look for him, Chen Zizhuang thought at first that his wife had sent his family to ask if he would go home for dinner at night. Chen Zizhuang sighed and looked at the busy cabinet, he had to work overtime again tonight.
So after Chen Zizhuang saw his family, he didn't ask anything and said directly: "You and Mrs. said that you don't know how busy you will be tonight, so she doesn't have to wait for me to eat!" ”
How do you know that the family member said: "Master, it's not that Mrs. asked the master to go home for dinner, it's that something happened at home, and Mrs. asked the villain to inform the master!" ”
Something happened at home? What could happen? Chen Zizhuang put down the brush in his hand and asked, "What's going on at home, hurry up!" ”
"Master, just now Miss Nephew returned home, saying that Aunt Nephew didn't know what lawsuit was going on, and a group of officers and soldiers like wolves and tigers suddenly came to the house and arrested Uncle Nephew!"
