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

Chapter 169: Making up random rumors! Wanli: Are you sick?

When he thought that his own biological daughter was so shameless as to give such private jewelry as a hairpin to a married man, Zhu Yijun suddenly gasped in anger!

Seeing that His Majesty the Emperor was so angry that he was about to drag his lame leg forward to beat someone, Chen Ju hurriedly stopped His Majesty the Emperor and begged loudly:

"My lord, be careful! This kid is mentally ill! What if he goes crazy and hurts you?"

As soon as he said this, Zhu Yijun stopped being excited, but it was not because he was afraid that Zhang Chonghui's mental illness would suddenly attack, because he always knew that Zhang Chonghui was pretending to be mentally ill!
What made Zhu Yijun stop was that he suddenly realized that as a supreme emperor, how could he lose control like this in front of a 'hairy boy'?

He is not really Zhang Juzheng!
Zhu Yijun, who realized that he was a little too excited, was stunned for a long time. The emperor, who never felt that he was wrong, quickly found a "perfect" and "reasonable" reason for his loss of control. .

——What happened to the loss of control? The reputation of his wife and daughter! Royal reputation! Even his reputation as an emperor! Everything will be ruined by the culprit in front of me! Isn't it normal for him to lose control?
What normal man can bear the thought of his well-raised precious daughter becoming infatuated with an old man... and a man with a family!
"Hand over the hairpin!"

Zhu Yijun had just finished speaking, but before Zhang Chonghui took the initiative to hand over the hairpin, Chen Ju rushed forward with great discernment and grabbed the lotus hairpin hidden in Zhang Chonghui's sleeve!

Zhang Chonghui looked aggrieved as he wanted to resist but didn't dare. Seeing that the hairpin was snatched away by Chen Ju, he reached out and grabbed the air with reluctance.

This 'affectionate' scene fell into Zhu Yijun's eyes, and he felt so angry that his head hurt.

Let’s see if we can survive first!

Zhu Yijun saw this detail, and for some reason, he always felt that this demon letter was not written by Zhang Chonghui.

Still want to vindicate Zhang Juzheng?

The paper slowly fell to the ground, and as it flew around, it happened to land in front of Zhang Chonghui.

"What kind of communication with Japanese? What kind of demon book? How could the common people come up with this after being a mere criminal? The common people are really unjust. Your Majesty, please look into it clearly!"

Zhu Yijun also saw through Zhang Chonghui's purpose, and he said that he could throw this kid to the ground without even exerting any effort!
Co-author Zhang Chonghui dropped it on purpose, just so that he, the emperor, could see with his own eyes the hairpin that his daughter took the initiative to give to him!
Zhang Chonghui was 'demonstrating', and he was clearly telling him that this emperor - it is your daughter who has a crush on me, not me who has a crush on her!
"What did you say to the princess?" Zhu Yijun ignored what Zhang Chonghui said and threatened instead: "You are so brave. You dare to sow discord between father and daughter in the Tian family. You are committing a capital crime!"

In a few words, Zhu Yijun directly placed all the responsibility for everything during this period on Zhang Chonghui!
In fact, Zhu Yijun was not sure whether all these things were done by Zhang Chonghui, but he was sure that these things were all related to Zhang Chonghui!

The first moment after Zhang Chonghui picked up the 'Demon Continuing Book', he seemed a little confused as to how to check it. He first turned the 'Demon Continuing Book' back and forth, and then he realized that he was looking down from the right. , frowned with some difficulty and looked at it.

"Your Majesty, ordinary people are stupid and don't understand what you are talking about." Zhang Chonghui, after pretending to be stupid, did not forget to repeat what he just said, saying:
"Your Majesty, you once said that when Cao Min sees you again, you will vindicate Cao Min's grandfather!"

But you actually push your limits! Not only did he not know how to change his ways, but he also dared to kidnap the queen and princess through Japan!

"Do you still have the nerve to make conditions?" Zhu Yijun said with a sullen face, forcibly asking:
"As a descendant of a guilty minister, you not only fail to live a peaceful life, but you also cause trouble one after another!
In view of the fact that your grandfather once served the Ming Dynasty, I will not pursue the matter of negotiations with the Japanese state against you.

At the same time, Zhu Yijun was staring at Zhang Chonghui, examining all the other's actions and every subtle expression without blinking.

However, this was nothing, what Zhang Chonghui said next was what really gave him a splitting headache!
"Your Majesty, the common people have finally seen you." Zhang Chonghui changed his previous pretense and said with joy:

"Your Majesty, the common people have been wronged!" Zhang Chonghui defended himself very 'reasonably':

"Take a good look! The demon book written by you yourself!"

The contrast between Zhang Chonghui's before and after is so great, and the topic changes so quickly, it is obvious that he only came here for the purpose of "rehabilitating Zhang Juzheng".

To vindicate Zhang Juzheng again, Zhu Yijun's face suddenly turned darker!

"You once said that when Cao Min sees you again, you will vindicate Cao Min's grandfather!"

"Ha, you still want to quibble?" Zhu Yijun sneered. The next moment, he pulled out a piece of paper from Long Sleeve, flicked it casually, and said coldly:

Zhang Chonghui, you are so brave! Don't think that I don't know that all the rumors spreading outside are yours!
Even the demon book "Continuing Worry and Risk Hong Yi" that punished the nine clans for their great crimes was written by your own hands! "

The emperor had already issued an order, but Zhang Chonghui didn't say anything. He reached out and picked up the piece of paper and looked at it.

He even always felt that even the content of this continuation of the demon book was not what Zhang Chonghui had in mind.

Zhang Chonghui seemed to be struggling to watch, and his "struggle" didn't seem like he was acting.

After a while.

"Your Majesty, Cao Min has finished reading." Zhang Chonghui said very sincerely: "Although the handwriting of this demon letter is very similar to the handwriting of Cao Min's father-in-law, this demon letter is indeed not Cao Min's father-in-law, let alone Cao Min. ”

"How do you prove that you didn't write it?" Zhu Yijun still asked.

Zhang Chonghui gave an explanation and said: "Your Majesty, ordinary people have a bad habit of writing. They only like to write horizontally from left to right. Whenever you change the formatting and writing method, your writing will be crooked because you are not used to it. This bad habit , Cao Min can’t change it after more than ten years. If you don’t believe it, you can look at Cao Min’s past copybooks.”

Zhu Yijun was silent for a moment. After all, he knew Zhang Chonghui's weird layout method better than anyone else.

Moreover, Zhang Chonghui's calligraphy practice copybooks had already been looked through by Jin Yiwei, and indeed they were all written horizontally from left to right.

"This doesn't prove that you didn't write it." Zhu Yijun seemed to have some purpose, still holding on and refusing to let go.

Zhang Chonghui seemed a little excited and argued: "But Your Majesty, this doesn't prove that it was written by ordinary people, right?"

"If you didn't write it, who else could have written it?" Zhu Yijun asked meaningfully again.

This time, let alone Zhang Chonghui, even Chen Ju, who was accompanying the driver, heard something in Zhu Yijun's words.

The meaning of His Majesty the Emperor is very simple - I can believe that it was not written by you, but you have to tell me who wrote it!

In other words, want to survive? sure! But you have to find out for me the real behind-the-scenes instructions of 'The Demonic Book'!

Yes, the content of this continuation of the demon book was not written by Zhang Chonghui. He had not even read the content.

As for why he didn't watch it, only Zhang Chonghui himself knows.

As for Zhu Yijun, even before Zhu Geng submitted this 'Demon Continuation Letter', and from the first moment after reading it, he had already realized that this thing was not written by Zhang Chonghui.

The imitation meaning of the 'Continuation of the Demon Book' is really too strong! It’s so strong that almost everyone will be suspicious of Zhang Chonghui after seeing this ‘Demon Continuation Letter’!
Although he does not believe that Zhang Chonghui wrote "The Book of Continued Demons", Zhu Yijun still firmly believes that Zhang Chonghui must have participated!
If nothing else, this kid must have been betrayed by his 'accomplices' and pushed out as a shield!

Right now, Zhu Yijun is waiting for Zhang Chonghui to reveal his "accomplices" and then eradicate him!

Facts have proved that Zhang Chonghui was merciless in selling his teammates. Without saying a word, he said directly: "Your Majesty, ordinary people can probably guess who is the mastermind behind the demon book this time." , it must be Mr. Shen Ge who is in the cabinet!"

"Mr. Shen Ge?" Zhu Yijun frowned: "Which Mr. Shen Ge?"

After all, there are two elders Shen Ge in the cabinet now, one is Shen Yiguan and the other is Shen Li, and these two people are still bitter enemies.

"Return to Your Majesty." Zhang Chonghui replied immediately without hesitation: "Of course it is Shen Yiguan, Shen Ge is old!"

Zhu Yijun was silent again. After all, based on his own guess, this time the demon book was created by Zhang Chonghui, Shen Li, and Guo Zhengyu!
After all, Guo Zhengyu is the teacher of Crown Prince Zhu Changluo. In order to maintain the Crown Prince's status and realize his future position as 'Emperor Master', it is not impossible that he would risk everything to the death!

Zhu Yijun also speculated that after Shen Li, Guo Zhengyu and others 'used' Zhang Chonghui to achieve their goals, they directly pushed Zhang Chonghui out, hoping to make him the scapegoat!
This is Zhu Yijun's guess. As for whether this is actually the case, he is not sure.

"You have been pushed out by them to take the blame, and you still want to cover up for them?" Zhu Yijun deliberately probed.

"Ah? Taking the blame?" Zhang Chonghui didn't seem to understand what Zhu Yijun meant by 'taking the blame'. He only continued to explain:
"Your Majesty, to be honest, ordinary people think that the Japanese pirate riots and the spread of demonic books during the Shangyuan Festival are 'just' excuses to hide the truth from others!"

"Oh?" Zhu Yijun simply sat on the chair brought by Chen Ju, looked at Zhang Chonghui with interest, looked at this face that was not very similar to Zhang Juzheng, and said with a strange smile:
"You keep making it up."

He wanted to see what Zhang Chonghui could do!
……

at the same time.

Wenyuan Pavilion.

When Shen Yiguan learned that His Majesty the Emperor summoned Zhang Chonghui into the palace overnight and had not released him even at this time, his uneasy premonition amplified again!

Shen Guanyin had a hunch that Zhang Chonghui would definitely tell His Majesty the Emperor about his crimes!
As for what the black shape is...

What Shen Yiyuan is most afraid of is that apart from the exposure of his "secret possession of Shen Weijing", there is another, more serious secret!
Shen Yiguan doesn't know whether Zhang Chonghui knows this 'serious secret' of his. It's best not to know, just in case...

If Zhang Chonghui really found out, then he... would really be doomed...

……

Qianqing Palace.

"What? Shen Yiguan not only conspired with the Japanese, he also conspired with... Concubine Zheng?"

At this time, Zhu Yijun was not only shocked, he was even a little...

"are you crazy?"

Zhu Yijun seriously thought that Zhang Chonghui was really crazy. Who in the world didn't know that he loved Concubine Zheng? How dare this kid say anything about Concubine Zheng in front of him?
"Your Majesty, the common people are not crazy." Zhang Chonghui replied with a 'just and awe-inspiring' look:

"The common people know that you love Concubine Zheng, and they also know that the real candidate for crown prince in your heart is His Royal Highness Prince Fu. The common people know all this.

Please forgive me for speaking frankly. I think you know better than anyone else how Concubine Zheng conducts herself, and how Uncle Zheng Guo conducts himself. "

By this time, Zhu Yijun's face had turned the color of pig liver. After all, no matter who heard it, his beloved woman would be so disliked by an 'outsider'.

Not to mention, this outsider actually accused his beloved Concubine Zheng of colluding with the cabinet ministers. This is simply...!
Zhu Yijun was very angry, but he didn't know why. He didn't interrupt Zhang Chonghui's "rumour-mongering", but listened quietly.

It's like a foolish emperor who knows that this is a treacherous minister, but wants to hear what bad ideas the treacherous minister has come up with.

"Your Majesty." Zhang Chonghui was still talking, and he even said bluntly:

"People speculate that the Shangyuan Festival riot and the demon book case were just two deliberate moves made by Mr. Shen Ge in order to play 'two hands of cards'.

The elder Shen Ge was thinking that he was afraid that he would not be able to stand in the line of His Royal Highness Prince Fu when you changed the crown prince in the future, so he secretly colluded with Concubine Zheng and kidnapped the Queen and His Royal Highness the Princess through Japan!
What Mr. Shen Ge wants is to ruin the reputation of the Queen after this incident, so that you can take this opportunity to make Concubine Zheng the Queen! It would be better for him to take this opportunity to curry favor with Concubine Zheng!
On the other hand, Mr. Shen Ge is afraid that you have not changed your intention to establish a crown prince. He is afraid that the current crown prince will blame him when he becomes a great treasure in the future!

So Mr. Shen Ge sent people to cause trouble about the demon book again, just because he wanted to take the opportunity to claim credit and reward after the prince ascended the throne in the future! "

After Zhang Chonghui finished speaking, the level of nonsense in this nonsense was simply staggering, but it did make some sense.

However, such a 'little' truth is not enough to convince the Wanli Emperor who 'true love comes first'.

"It's so presumptuous!"

His Majesty the Emperor was very angry that his beloved woman was being spread rumors like this. He was so angry that he even wanted to lift up his lame leg and kick Zhang Chonghui hard.

However, it turns out that before Zhu Yijun even had time to kick Zhang Chonghui, he was blocked by the other person's next words!

"Your Majesty, the common people know that you are deeply in love with Concubine Zheng, but the Ming Dynasty that your ancestors left to you is not worth more than a woman?

If you don't believe what the common people say, then you can ask Jin Yiwei to investigate! Common people can use their heads to guarantee that there is definitely a connection between Concubine Zheng and Mr. Shen Ge! "

Zhang Chonghui's words were full of words, and he even used his own head as a guarantee, as if he was a loyal minister sincerely admonishing the king!

Such a scene fell into Zhu Yijun's eyes, which made him feel a little dazed...

However, it was only for a moment. He would not doubt his beloved Concubine Zheng because of a lying concubine.

However, is this really the case?
Zhu Yijun was thinking in his heart: "You must not believe this kid's nonsense! You must not believe it! My beloved concubine is absolutely innocent! There is absolutely no way that my beloved concubine is colluding with Shen Yiguan!"

Just when Zhu Yijun thought he was calm, but in fact he could no longer hide his suspicious eyes, someone from the palace came to report.

"Your Majesty, your concubine is here."

Before Zhu Yijun could respond, he saw Zheng Mengjing rushing in with raindrops!

It's okay to rush in rudely without His Majesty the Emperor's permission.

What Zheng Mengjing did next was what really made Zhu Yijun stunned...
