Rebirth of Zhu Di's son

Chapter 258: Servant Wang Zhen, pays homage to His Majesty

After a while.

After reading the report letter written by Hai Shou and several witness statements, Kang Ping realized that the seriousness of the matter was beyond his imagination.

He stared hard into Hai Shou's eyes and asked in a deep voice: "Who else knows about Huang Yan's deception of the emperor except you?"

"The military attache named Ji should also be an insider. As for Lu Zhen, the minister of Dali Temple, I dare not speak nonsense."

Hai Shou answered honestly.

"Huang Yan's big lie has actually been concealed from His Majesty the present day. This shows that this person has deep scheming, great courage, and brilliant means!"

Kang Ping said with a serious look: "Your Majesty, relying on a letter of accusation and the confessions of several people, it is not difficult to cure Huang Yan of deceiving the emperor, but your Majesty must take into account the face of the Supreme Emperor."

He was afraid that Hai Shou would misunderstand, so he added: "After the Emperor moved to the Palace of Longevity, he specially ordered people to move the nine-pound dried sweet potato to the study of the Palace of Longevity and put it on display."

Over the years, Zhu Di hoped that sweet potatoes weighing nine pounds could be grown all over the world, so that the people of the Ming Dynasty would no longer have to worry about eating food.

But suddenly, the auspicious thing back then turned into a big lie, and it was sold from overseas. How is this inappropriate?
Hai Shou, as a person who knew the truth but did not report it, strictly speaking, also participated in Huang Yan's deception back then.

When Zhu Di was angry, it was just a matter of words to give him life.

"Kang Gong is a wise man, I did not mean to offend the Supreme Emperor!"

Hai Shou turned pale with fright. Regardless of the pain on his back, he pretended to kneel down and kowtow to Kang Ping.

Kang Ping held his own and did not stop him.

After Hai Shou knelt down, he slowly said: "Get up, our family came to see you because we have the permission of His Majesty. Otherwise, with our status, would we dare to come see you privately?"

When Hai Shou heard this, he felt that this was the truth, so he endured the pain and got up from the ground.

He then thought about it and learned that Zhu Gaoxu had sent Kang Ping to see him. He probably had some arrangements. After hesitating for a while, he stopped talking.

Kang Ping is a good person and naturally understands Hai Shou's mood.

At this moment, he did not directly state Zhu Gaoxu's intention, but deliberately mentioned another matter, saying: "His Majesty summoned Xing'an before and asked him who could be qualified for the post of eunuch and eunuch. Guess what? Xing'an actually recommended you to do it. Internal officials and eunuchs!”

Hai Shou listened carefully and did not answer.

Kang Ping continued: "Your Majesty asked Xing'an again why he recommended you instead of Huang Yan. Do you know how Xing'an answered?"

"I don't know, my official." Hai Shou replied.

Kang Ping said: "Xing'an said that he had been supported by you when he entered the palace, and he has always remembered it in his heart. After hearing Xing'an's answer, His Majesty stroked his beard and sighed, saying that you are different from Huang Yan, and you are a conscientious person."

His words are [-]% true and [-]% false.

Hai Shou is about the same age as Zheng He and is now over fifty. How could he not understand what Kang Ping meant.

Obviously, Zhu Gaoxu wanted to use his hand to eradicate Huang Yan and his cronies.

In Hai Shou's opinion, the reason why Emperor Qianxi of the Ming Dynasty Zhu Gaoxu did this was probably to save the face of the Supreme Emperor Zhu Di.

After all, Hai Shou, like Huang Yan, was a trusted eunuch around Zhu Di from the beginning.

But he felt aggrieved when he looked at the evidence he had worked so hard to collect and still couldn't bring down Huang Yan.

"If you believe our family, then let our family keep this letter and confession for you first. You also know that now is not the time to deal with Huang Yan. You, Xing'an, Jin Ying and others should be patient for a while. When the time is right, our family will report it to Your Majesty for you."

Kang Ping saw that Hai Shou seemed unwilling to give up, and immediately expressed his position: "I hope you will find your way back and expose Huang Yan. We feel that your Majesty will definitely save your life when you deal with Huang Yan in the future."

"Kang Gong is a great kindness, and my subordinates will never forget it!"

Hai Shou reluctantly bowed and bowed.

"It's getting late. Just take good care of your injuries and we'll go back first."

Kang Ping stood up, cupped his hands towards Hai Shou Gong and said, "No need to send it away."

The next day.

After the morning session.Wuying Palace.

"Slave Wang Zhen, please pay homage to your Majesty. Long live your Majesty! Long live your Majesty!"

Zhu Gaoxu looked at the middle-aged eunuch who was kneeling in the main hall and called himself "Wang Zhen" and nodded.

Kang Ping, the attendant standing beside him, understood and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Ping Shen."

Wang Zhen kowtowed, then stood up with his waist bent and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Zhu Gaoxu frowned and took a look. He didn't see Wang Zhen's appearance clearly, so he winked at Kang Ping next to him.

Kang Ping said loudly: "Ten steps forward."

Wang Zhen received the order, bowed and walked ten steps forward, getting closer to the royal table.

Zhu Gaoxu took a closer look and found that Wang Zhen seemed to have a beard on his chin, so he said loudly: "Ten more steps forward."

"According to the order."

When Wang Zhen heard Zhu Gaoxu's instructions, he immediately bowed and walked ten steps forward.

"Head up."

Zhu Gaoxu's voice sounded.

Wang Zhen was ordered to raise his head.

Zhu Gaoxu saw a face with fair skin and delicate features, but Wang Zhen had a less conspicuous black beard on his chin.

"Are you the associate professor of the inner study hall that I have granted you?"

It was the first time for Zhu Gaoxu to meet Wang Zhen, so he was a little curious about what he looked like.

"Reporting to your majesty, you are your slave."

Wang Zhengong replied: "Since the slaves entered the palace after they reached adulthood, they are similar to the eunuch Qingdu Gong (Qingyao). The beard on his chin grew back after being shaved off. In recent years, it has become weaker and weaker." , and it’s becoming more and more sparse.”

Zhu Gaoxu knew that in history, there was a great eunuch named Tong Guan in the Song Dynasty who had a beard.

According to later research, there are roughly two theories about President Tong Guan's beard.

One theory is that Tong Guan became a eunuch after he became an adult. Another theory is that Tong Guan's male hormone secretion level is far higher than that of others.

The last time Zhu Gaoxu saw Qingyao, he found that Qingyao's beard had become extremely thin.

Thinking about Wang Zhen in front of him, this should be the reason.

"I ask you, how are the little envoys in the inner study hall going to school?"

Zhu Gaoxu had a report in his hand. All the yamen in the inner court sent a total of seventeen young chamberlains, including five imperial eunuchs.

Wang Zhen replied honestly: "After half a month of study, all the emissaries have recognized more than 300 characters and can complete simple reading and writing."

"Who performed best?"

Zhu Gaoxu asked.

Wang Zhengong announced the names of five or six people.

Zhu Gaoxu signaled Kang Ping to take note of it carefully, and then said: "Wang Zhen, you have to teach those little emissaries for me. I never treat people who have meritorious service badly. Do you understand?"

"My slave understands, my slave understands! I will definitely live up to the divine grace and seriously teach the envoys how to read and write, and teach them the principles of loyalty, justice and shame!"

When Wang Zhen heard this, he was very happy and immediately knelt down to receive the order.

"Okay, you step back."

Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand and said.
