King Xiang of the Red Chamber

Chapter 74 Arrogance
"Master Thirteen? Lord Thirteen? Get up quickly..."

"The imperial envoy is here!"

"Master Thirteen?"

"Woke up……"

I had a lot of fun last night, as for how to have a good time, it is really not enough for outsiders to tell.

Usually Zhu Jinghong wakes up late, and now it is not long before dawn, and he is even more sleepy.

"Get lost..." Zhu Jinghong cursed, turned around and turned around.

This made Yu Hai extremely anxious, but he didn't dare to shout loudly, for fear of making Zhu Jinghong angry, so he could only continue calling.

However, at this moment, a cold and stern voice came from outside the house: "If Master Thirteen doesn't come out again, this old slave will come in!"

The next moment, an old eunuch in a red python robe, accompanied by several young eunuchs, stepped into the room.

This person is Wang Qing, the eunuch in charge of the East Factory, who has the worst reputation in the East Factory, ruthless and decisive.

When he came to Zhu Jinghong's bed, Wang Qing said coldly: "Master Thirteen, it's time for you to get up!"

No one dared to talk to him like that, Zhu Jinghong turned around to look at Wang Qing, and found that he had no impression of him.

That being the case, he must be a small person, Zhu Jinghong scolded: "Old guy, disappear before I get angry, or don't blame me for not respecting the old!"

"Master Thirteen, if you don't get up again, this old slave can only ask Jin Yiwei to come in and invite you!"

This old guy is shameless, he dared to ask Jin Yiwei to invite him, does he think his life is too long?
"If this is the case, everyone will not look good!"

These words made Zhu Jinghong even more furious. He immediately turned over and stood up, picked up the pillow and threw it at Wang Qing, and at the same time scolded: "Arrogance..."

Seeing Zhu Jinghong being so presumptuous, the little eunuch Yu Hai boldly reminded: "Master Thirteen, this is Wang Qing, the eunuch in charge of the East Factory!"

"So what if he is Xichang Yuhuatian?"

Zhu Jinghong was extremely disdainful, no matter how powerful he was, he was still not an eunuch, and he even beat up the admiral of the East Factory in his predecessor.

Wang Qing still had that dead face, and said calmly, "Master Thirteen, this old slave is here to pass on the decree..."

preacher?To whom was the decree delivered?Could it be for yourself?
"It turned out to be the prince!" Zhu Jinghong smiled, and the rage just now disappeared. He can be called an expert in expression management.

"Since he is delivering the decree, why don't you go to the crown prince, he is the person in charge of Jinling!"

Wang Qingyin laughed twice, and then said: "Because this imperial decree is specially for you, Thirteenth Lord!"

"what?"

Could it be that the old man in the capital only targeted himself?Thinking of this, Zhu Jinghong felt a little weak.

Suppressing his smile, Wang Qing said coldly: "Master Thirteen, the crown prince and important officials from Jinling have all arrived at the palace, but they are all waiting for you..."

"Then please wait a moment, wait for me to change clothes before going to the main hall!"

"Don't bother, I have to take it off for a while anyway, Lord Thirteen, come with us now!"

The so-called gentleman is crowned after death, let alone going out with disheveled clothes. Wang Qing's request is very rude, and it can even be said that he does not respect Zhu Jinghong.

Wang Qing was ruthless, but he was just a slave after all. He was also afraid of driving Zhu Jinghong into a hurry, so he explained: "This is the order from the Lord!"

This is really not a lie, Zhu Xianming noticed that Zhu Jinghong was lying in bed recently, so he specially thought of this method to punish him.

In Zhu Xianming's view, although Zhu Jinghong didn't like reading before, he practiced martial arts on time and had a regular schedule, which is also worthwhile.

But now, this little bastard is getting more and more tired and lazy, and almost has no merits at all. If he doesn't clean up, can he still get it?

"Could it be that the thirteenth master wants to resist the order?" Wang Qing asked coldly.

Against the decree?As soon as these two words came out, Zhu Jinghong felt shuddering, and even goose bumps appeared on his body.

Damn it, my previous life was too cowardly, but I was so afraid of my father even though I was good at martial arts, my conditioned reflex influenced me too...

After complaining secretly, Zhu Jinghong said with a smile: "Are you kidding me, how can I resist the decree, let's go then!"

"Master Thirteen, please!" Wang Qing said with a straight face.

Ever since, Zhu Jinghong walked out of the bedroom where he was resting in his unlined clothes, and walked along the palace path to the main hall.

All the guards encountered along the way, whoever dared to look twice, would be stared back by Zhu Jinghong.

Seeing Zhu Jinghong walking forward with his head held high, Wang Qing also felt a little speechless. Isn't there shame in humiliating this person like this?

Wang Qing couldn't figure it out, because he didn't know that Zhu Jinghong was a time traveler, and he wore less clothes than this in Xia Tian in his previous life.

Soon they came to the Yong'an Hall, and there were already more than a dozen officials in the hall, all of them were high-ranking officials from the Sanya of Jinling.

The crown prince, Zhu Jingyuan, moved a chair under the imperial steps to sit, and when he saw Wang Qing appeared, he stood up.

A group of officials who were chatting originally also stood up in order according to their ranks at this moment, showing great respect to Wang Qing who came over.

There is no way, Wang Qing represents the emperor, and even the prince dare not neglect, of course Zhu Jinghong is an exception.

After Wang Qing passed, everyone noticed Zhu Jinghong's attire, and they were all surprised.

"Thirteenth brother, why did you come here like this, why don't you hurry back and put on your clothes!"

At this time, Wang Qing had already walked up the imperial steps, stood in front of the emperor's throne, turned around and said, "Prince, this is what the Lord wants!"

Since it was the emperor's intention, others did not dare to comment, they were just more curious about the content of the imperial decree.

Following Wang Qing's appearance, the guards of honor that accompanied him also entered the main hall one after another. After some arrangements, the hall was even more majestic and solemn.

Standing on the imperial steps, Wang Qing took the imperial decree from the accompanying eunuchs, then looked down at the crowd and said: "There is a decree..."

"The ministers are waiting to ask my emperor, Sheng Jin'an!"

A group of officials paid homage, Wang Qing on the imperial steps answered "Sheng Gongan", and then opened the scroll of imperial decree.

"Fengtian Chengyun Emperor, Zhiyue..."

Compared with Hu Yongquan's oral order last time, the reading of the imperial decree this time is undoubtedly much more formal, coupled with Wang Qing's gloomy face, it made everyone present feel uneasy.

"The prince is the heir of the country, and he is in danger of the country. He should have the shrewdness to inherit the emperor's heir..."

"The court is in a hurry. I will send the crown prince to Jinling to take charge of the chaos..."

"You have been in Jinling for more than [-] days, but you have not been able to put down the Japanese pirates, and you have listened to the old thirteen's lies and issued random orders to disrupt the place. I really failed my expectations!"

As soon as the imperial decree started, he scolded the prince like shit, which made Zhu Jingyuan feel haggard and almost collapsed on the ground.

And Zhu Jinghong, who was kneeling beside him, was not in a better mood than him.

According to the meaning of the imperial decree, Zhu Jingyuan was criticized so harshly for listening to the "slander", so how can he be the chief culprit of slander?
Reminiscent of Wang Qing's bad attitude and the fact that he was asked to wear unlined clothes to receive the order, Zhu Jinghong felt even worse.

"If the crown prince has a heart of shame, he should use the strength of Jinling's civil and military forces to try to clear up the chaos, and don't ask me to write a sentence again!"

These words were even more severe, it was equivalent to pointing at Zhu Jingyuan's nose and scolding him without regard for his prince's dignity.

And throughout the whole text, although Jinling officials were not mentioned, everyone was still terrified.

After all, because of their gossip, there has not been much progress in suppressing the Japanese, and their crime is even greater than that of the prince.

The princes were pointed at their noses and scolded. I'm afraid that the emperor wanted to chop off their heads, but put them on their shoulders temporarily for business purposes.

The current emperor, no matter what civil servants or military officials he is, is either demoted or reprimanded if he is useless, and those who do something wrong are directly chopped off.

Thinking of this, all the civil servants trembled, and sweat broke out from their foreheads and temples.

At this moment, Wang Qing's tone became more and more severe: "Old Thirteen..."
