Ming Dynasty: At the beginning, the house was ransacked and the ancestral temple was burned down.

Chapter 106 The shocked Wanli: Hurry! Go kill him!

For a time, the atmosphere was quiet and heavy.

Many people present still don't know what the "pretending to be Zhang Juzheng" in His Majesty the Emperor's words is all about. But they all knew that His Majesty the Emperor seemed angry.

And Zhang Chonghui, the 'chief culprit' who made His Majesty the Emperor angry, at this moment 'only knew' that his forehead was on the ground and he said nothing.

Such a scene fell in the eyes of many people in the harem, and it was nothing more than a 'sinner' who had no face to face the sage, king and father, and was speechless to answer the emperor's 'questioning guilt'.

But when such a scene fell in the eyes of Zhu Yijun, who was the emperor, it was full of 'provocation' to him!
  Otherwise, it was because of Zhang Chonghui's performance that he looked too much like Zhu Yijun's "courtiers" who "only" called him "King Father"!
  It seems that he is humble and respectful, and has no words to reply, but in fact, he is 'forcing' him, the emperor and the father, to 'regress' by 'not moving'!
  Zhu Yijun didn't know why, but he just met Zhang Chonghui for the first time, and he already disliked him!

Although Zhang Chonghui has not done anything yet, nor has he said anything yet.

"Zhang Chonghui! The Emperor is asking you something! Why don't you reply quickly!"

As the Emperor's charioteer, Chen Ju naturally could not stand idle and embarrass his master Long Live Lord, so he immediately urged Zhang Chonghui to reply.

"Return to your majesty." Zhang Chonghui was finally willing to speak out, but the answer was:
  "The common people did not answer His Majesty's questions. This was not intended to offend. It is because the common people are ignorant and do not know how to answer His Majesty's questions.

Cao Min is only thirteen years old this year. His family has been poor since he was a child, and it is difficult to live with a full stomach, let alone read, read, and learn the principles of the saints.

The common people are ignorant, and if they randomly answer His Majesty's questions just for the sake of replying, they will be deceiving the Emperor. The common people did not dare to deceive the emperor, so they chose not to answer.

In addition, His Majesty just said that Cao Min pretended to be his grandfather. Cao Min really did not dare to take His Majesty's words seriously.

Caomin's grandfather was already a scholar at the age of thirteen, and was a famous 'child prodigy'. However, the common people are stupid in nature and not as smart as grandfather Yihao. They really dare not pretend to be grandfather, let alone pretend to be grandfather. "

Zhang Chonghui was still calm when he replied. Such a calm and decent reply made Zhu Yijun realize in hindsight that he seemed to be a little too hasty.

Yes, Zhang Chonghui is just a thirteen-year-old child. Regardless of whether the other party has read a book or not, why is he so eager to "expose" the other party if he just 'pretends to be Zhang Juzheng'?
  Is it because Zhang Chonghui once deceived Shen Shixing and Yu Shenxing?
  Realizing that he seemed to be being led around by the nose, Zhu Yijun quickly calmed down.

When he looked at the young man in front of him again, Zhu Yijun only had calmness in his eyes.

"He is not Zhang Juzheng." Zhu Yijun told himself in his heart: "Zhang Juzheng is dead."

Chen Ju on the side could be said to understand his Majesty the Emperor very well. He immediately 'picked out' the 'errors' in Zhang Chonghui's words and pointed out:

"Zhang Chonghui, you are so brave, you dare to pretend to be poor and miserable, and hide the true nature of a saint. You said that your family is too poor to read, read, and learn the rites of a saint.

But who doesn’t know that two of your uncles are Jinshi and disciples of the Emperor? Is it possible that they haven’t taught you any sage principles? "

Chen Ju deliberately avoided the matter of "two thousand acres of land" and only pointed out that the Zhang family had two Jinshi. Obviously, he was avoiding the easy matter.

Faced with such a rebuke, Zhang Chonghui just raised his head slightly. While looking at Chen Ju, he replied directly with two words:

"No."

For a moment, the atmosphere became awkward...

Everyone knows that Zhang Chonghui is talking nonsense.

Whose family has two uncles who are Jinshi masters and would not ask them for advice? How could they not have taught the eldest son like Zhang Chonghui how to read and learn theory?
  "That's nonsense." Chen Judang said even though he was 'exposed': "They are your biological uncles, and they are both Jinshi in the second rank. How could they not have taught you how to read and write!"

This time, Zhang Chonghui did not refute. He seemed speechless and just sighed with sad eyes.

"What? You have nothing to say?" Chen Ju shook the fly whisk in his hand and said again:

"Zhang Chonghui, you actually dare to lie in front of the emperor, you are deceiving the emperor!"

It is a capital crime to deceive the emperor.

This is what Chen Ju didn't finish, but it's enough to say it or not. After all, everyone knows that bullying the emperor is a capital crime.

Now that things have happened, Zhang Chonghui, who has committed a "capital crime", behaves very "decadently", as if he is really about to go to the guillotine.

Zhang Chonghui neither defended nor begged for mercy, he just lowered his head and said nothing.

This dejected look of 'waiting for death' aroused Zhu Yijun's curiosity.

Zhu Yijun was a little curious about what Zhang Chonghui wanted to do, and even more curious about the other party's appearance of not being angry or arguing. How did he make Shen Shixing and the others believe that he was Zhang Juzheng?

Just when Zhu Yijun was wondering, Zhang Chonghui spoke, just to Chen Ju.

"This father-in-law." Zhang Chonghui did not raise his head and only replied:

"You said that both of my uncles were second-ranked Jinshi, disciples of the emperor, which is indeed true. But it is true that they did not teach me reading and literacy, let alone the principles of saints.

It’s not that they don’t want to teach, it’s that I don’t want to learn. After all, now that all the descendants of my Zhang family are sinners, I will not be able to serve the country as an official even if I read all the books of sages.

My grandfather was already a high school scholar when he was twelve years old, and as his eldest grandson, I am the only remaining lineage of my eldest family, but now I am still just a white man.

Not to mention a scholar, I have never even passed the Tongsheng examination. Naturally, as a sinner, I am not qualified to take the exam as a child student. "

Zhang Chonghui's words can be described as "extremely resentful", and he said them in front of the emperor Zhu Yijun. It was clear that while he was complaining, he did not "take the emperor Zhu Yijun seriously."

No one knows whether such an act of "seeking death" angered the emperor. As the saying goes, the emperor is not in a hurry and the eunuch is, but Chen Ju, the eunuch, was really angered by Zhang Chonghui.

"Zhang Chonghui! You are so brave! Are you blaming the emperor!?"

Chen Ju changed his previous image of a 'good old eunuch' and started questioning Zhang Chonghui 'again'.

Zhang Chonghui, however, did not panic at all, because he knew that the other 'starring' of this 'double act' was about to appear.

Sure enough, Emperor Zhu Yijun, who had not spoken for a long time, slowly spoke and said:

"Those who cannot plan for the eternity cannot plan for the moment. If you plan for the moment, sometimes it is to plan for the eternity.

Zhang Chonghui, this is what your grandfather once said to me, which means that those who achieve great things need to prepare for a rainy day and look at the 'eternity' from a 'moment'.

But what you just said to the eldest son of the emperor is contrary to what your grandfather said. As a descendant of the Zhang family, you don’t seem to believe in the same principles as your grandfather? "

Zhu Yijun's tone was very gentle and gentle. This 'king father' who 'seemed' honest and gentle seemed to be quite kind and patient with Zhang Chonghui, his 'subject'.

Such a "gentle and honest" emperor can be said to be in sharp contrast to the "ferocious look" of the eunuch Chen Jucai.

With such a 'strong' focus on it, 'some things' are extremely easy to be 'forgotten'.

Just like not long ago, Zhu Yijun's slightly "gaffe" question to Zhang Chonghui was as if it had never happened before.

"Return to your majesty." Zhang Chonghui replied with "very cooperative" and "gratitude": "Your majesty is a wise man, ordinary people have no ink in their chests, and their knowledge is shallow. How can they dare to compare with my grandfather."

This time, Zhu Yijun just smiled, but said no more.

Because Zhu Yijun is the emperor, there is no need for him, a superior emperor, to speak personally about "losing face" by labeling and "convicting" a guilty official.

"Zhang Chonghui, since you know that your knowledge is shallow, why do you still teach the emperor's eldest son those 'crooked principles'?"

The one who spoke out was the eunuch Chen Ju. He was both a "favorite" and a "starring" in this play.

It's almost time for the drama to end here. Although Chen Ju didn't want to end it in this way, His Majesty the Emperor didn't want anyone in the Zhang family to have an easy time, so he had no choice but to I tried my best to 'cooperate' with His Majesty the Emperor, but in the end it 'ended' like this again.

"Zhang Chonghui, you taught crooked principles to the emperor's eldest son. This is a major crime of misleading people and causing trouble to the royal family. Do you know your guilt?" Chen Ju knocked down the last 'hammer' and asked directly.

It is said that it is a question of guilt, but in fact it is a conviction.

After all, that's all. Regardless of whether Zhang Chonghui admits his guilt or not, he has to bear the blame. Who made his emperor and father determined to prevent him from leaving the Forbidden City today?

Zhu Yijun originally thought that Zhang Chonghui would argue vigorously when his death was imminent. This would also allow him to see Zhang Chonghui's 'real ability' in pretending to be Zhang Juzheng before he died.

Just when Zhu Yijun was gearing up for a meeting with Zhang Juzheng, the man who had deceived both Shen Shixing and Yu Shenxing!
  An unexpected scene happened for Zhu Yijun!
  I saw Zhang Chonghui, who was calm and calm just a moment ago, suddenly became panicked as if he was a different person!
  Zhang Chonghui not only showed a panicked look that was eager to explain but was speechless, he even stuttered and begged for mercy in a panic:

"No, Your Majesty, I... the common people don't dare... the common people just... just... I was wronged... Your Majesty!"

The helplessness of a young man who has never seen the world before his "imminent death" is vividly reflected in Zhang Chonghui at this moment.

Such a scene fell into Zhu Yijun's eyes, and he should have been happy.

Because this proves that Zhang Chonghui is just Zhang Chonghui, not Zhang Juzheng.

Because this proves that Zhang Juzheng is really dead, completely dead.

Zhu Yijun should have been happy, but for some reason, he was a little disappointed...

That's it?

Shen Shixing and Yu Shenxing actually believed that 'this' was Zhang Juzheng?

No matter how unbearable Zhang Juzheng is, he won't be like this, right?
  Almost instantly, Zhu Yijun felt that it was boring, so boring.

What was originally a bit worried and 'anticipating' was now filled with disappointment. I was so disappointed that my chest felt empty, and I was so disappointed that my sight and smell were tasteless.

He was so disappointed that Zhu Yijun even forgot that he was lame and needed help to walk.

In a daze, Zhu Yijun turned around, dragged his injured leg that had begun to shrink, and started walking.

"Ouch, I..."

Fortunately, Chen Ju had quick eyesight and quick hands, and he helped Zhu Yijun in time, thus avoiding the sudden fall of His Majesty the Emperor.

Although he didn't 'fall', Zhu Yijun was still frightened. His heart that was still 'empty' was now filled with panic and fear.

However, this panic and fear only lasted for a few breaths. Soon, a new emotion 'occupied' the whole mind and heart!
  This new emotion is - shock!
  Zhu Yijun almost fell down, but after being supported again, he "subconsciously" glanced diagonally behind him.

Zhu Yijun also forgot how this 'subconscious' habit came about. He only knew that he had just glanced diagonally behind him so inadvertently...

In addition to catching a glimpse of his mother, Queen Mother Li, who was standing not far away, he also saw a look that made his whole body tingle!

Those eyes were obviously green and tender, but the complicated expression they revealed was so familiar...

In those eyes, there was shock, disbelief, worry, and even a hint of bewildered evasion...

Almost at that moment, Zhu Yijun remembered where his habit of "subconsciously glancing back" came from...

At the same time, Zhang Chonghui was also shocked!
  He didn't expect that as the emperor, Zhu Yijun... was a lame?
  Perhaps he was too shocked, and Zhang Chonghui didn't manage his expression well for a while, so with his complicated mood, he happened to catch Zhu Yijun's sudden glance.

The four eyes met each other, and the atmosphere became awkward...

Zhang Chonghui was too embarrassed to stare at Zhu Yijun's lame leg anymore, so he could only look at Empress Dowager Li for help.

However, just such a 'asking for help' gaze brought an unexpected 'result'!
  ……

His Majesty the Emperor fell.

He fell flat on the ground while being supported by someone.

Even Chen Ju, who was supporting His Majesty the Emperor, didn't understand what was going on.

Chen Ju only knew that His Majesty the Emperor had already been supported by him, but why, without paying attention, His Majesty the Emperor suddenly dragged his injured leg forward as if he had seen something 'dirty'. I took several steps back!

The final stumble! "Pa" fell down!

……

Harem. Laneway.

The palace people were working and chatting secretly and quietly.

"I saw with my own eyes that the young man named Zhang told His Royal Highness the Third Prince that anyone he kneeled on would be in bad luck within three hours. I didn't expect this to be true!"

"Don't mention it, it's really crazy. Not only did His Highness the Third Prince lose two of his teeth within three hours, but even the Emperor managed to fall down. Is this really a ghost?"

"How could he be so evil? By the way, how is Mr. Zhang Xiaolang now? He caused the emperor to fall. He must have been taken to Lingchi to be executed, right?"

"Look at what you said. Our emperor is the most merciful person. How can he be such a cruel person! Not only did he not kill the young man, he didn't even punish him!"

"Isn't it? By the way, I heard that Zhang Xiaolangjun is the grandson of Zhang Shoufu whose house was confiscated?"

"He is the one who, after being a criminal, shouldn't have regretted his death! It's only thanks to the mercy of the Emperor that he was kind enough to spare his life!"

"Indeed, the guilty minister deserves to die!"

"Um...by the way...what crime did Zhang Xiaolangjun's grandfather commit that led to his home being confiscated?"

"No matter what the crime is, the Emperor will never unjustly accuse a guilty person!"

"Ah...that's it...but..."

"But what the hell! It's getting late, Youfu, hurry up and clean this area! I'll leave all the work to you, so we'll leave first!"

"Ah good……"

……

Qianqing Palace.

Ever since his 'fall', Zhu Yijun has been in a daze. No one knows what he is thinking.

I don't know how long this went on, but it wasn't until it got dark that Zhu Yijun finally came back to his senses.

I saw that he suddenly became excited and asked hurriedly:
  "Where are people? Where are others?"

"Reply to the Emperor." Zhang Cheng came back. Although he didn't know who the 'that person' His Majesty the Emperor was talking about, he guessed it, so he hurriedly stepped forward and replied:

"Zhang Chonghui is being guarded at the Meridian Gate! Don't worry, he can't escape!"

"Quick! Quick! Quick!" Zhu Yijun raised his hands and waved them around excitedly, as if he was afraid of exposing something. He hurriedly lowered his voice and shouted:

"Quick! Go kill him! Secretly! Don't let anyone find out!"
