The best fake eunuch.

Chapter 053 The majesty of the emperor

Looking at the secret letters on the table, Zhu Zaihou's face became gloomy a little bit. These secret letters were all secret letters between Wu Dingyuan and Zhu Tai, and Zhu Zaihou's face turned ashen at the end.

After reading the letters, Zhu Zaihou took a few breaths, calmed himself down, and asked, "Ziyi, where did these letters come from?"

Fang Ziyi replied: "Your Majesty, all this was found in Zhu Tai's secret room. Wu Dingyuan and Zhu Tai colluded with each other to frame General Situ, and only then did he become General Mingwei."

Looking at the emperor's face, Fang Ziyi continued: "Your Majesty, do you think that the Persian thieves have poured into the capital this time, if there is no Wu Dingyuan as an internal response, how could they be so unimpeded?"

"Old man Wu Dingyuan, I asked why he didn't come to rescue him that day. He wanted to watch the fire from the other side and be a fool. Once Zhu Tai succeeds, wouldn't he join hands with Zhu Tai to seize my Ming Dynasty? Ziyi, you must Investigate this matter thoroughly?"

"Reporting to the emperor, the minister has already started to investigate, and found a witness."

After a while, Lu Fang came, and the emperor said: "Tell me, tell me everything you know."

"It's your majesty, Zhu Tai's palace rebelled, and I took advantage of the chaos to escape from the palace and went to General Mingwei's mansion to rescue soldiers. General Mingwei heard what I said, but asked a few things, and let him go." The servant has left."

"Then what?"

"Later, the servants waited until General Mingwei sent troops, so they went to ask questions, not wanting to be stopped outside the door, and the servants were not allowed to enter."

Zhu Zaihou slapped the table with one hand and said, "Well, you Wu Dingyuan, I treat you well, and you dare to have ulterior motives, how can I tolerate you, Ziyi, I will leave this matter to you to investigate, no matter what method you use. , we must investigate this matter clearly, no matter who is involved, I will never show mercy."

"Your Majesty, Wu Dingyuan is in charge of the defenders of Gyeonggi. Once he hears the news, he jumps over the wall in a hurry, and he is bound to make trouble. At that time, the land of Gyeonggi will be in danger."

"You don't have to worry about this matter. I called Cao Bangfu, the servant of the Ministry of War, to transfer back the heavy soldiers. Forgive him for not being able to make too much trouble. I don't believe it. Is this country still mine or not?"

House Yi took a step forward and said, "Your Majesty, I have a trick to do, and it doesn't take much to fight, just let Wu Dingyuan's followers catch him without a fight."

After listening to Fang Fangyi's plan, Zhu Zaihou patted Fang Fangyi's shoulder and said, "Zi Yi, you have offered me wonderful ideas many times. You are really my wise star. Tell me what reward you want?"

"It is the duty of a humble minister to share the emperor's worries and difficulties, and I dare not take credit for it."

"Hey, Ziyi made a mistake. How about it, I will reward you with a house."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your gift."

After Zhu Tai's incident, Zhu Zaihou also learned a lot, and he was more able to control the way.House Yi was promoted to be the governor of the East Factory, and Zhu Zaihou was short of people around him. Seeing that Lu Fang was so loyal and inspiring, he stayed with Zhu Zaihou. Only on the side of the house is easy to have today's opportunity.

In the early morning of the next day, Dongchang ambushed around the Hall of Supreme Harmony early in the morning. There were many more officials in the court today than usual. Zhu Zaihou specially issued an edict that all officials from the capital must be present.

All the officials below knelt down and kowtowed three times. It was a long time since the eunuch told them to lie down. They didn't know what happened. They knelt on the ground one by one. Look at me.

It was enough for Zhu Zaihou to sit on the dragon chair with his eyes closed, so he summoned the maid, brought a melon and fruit in front of him, and said while eating, "It tastes good."

For a full hour, some elderly officials could no longer hold on. Once they fainted on the ground, the little eunuch brought stools and helped them sit down.

All the ministers don't know what happened to the emperor today?But no one dared to step forward to ask, especially Gao Gong and Xu Jie. After the farce in the court that day, the two kept a lot of low-key.

Finally Zhu Zaihou spoke to him, and said with a smile: "My dear friends, why are you still kneeling? Hurry up and don't kneel and damage your body."

Zhu Zaihou spoke with a strange tone of yin and yang, and everyone heard that they didn't know the real meaning of the emperor. They knelt on the ground and dared not move. Seeing the state of the officials, Zhu Zaihou put the fruit plate in his hand on the ground with a 'bang' and said: " What? Isn’t my word an imperial decree? Don’t tell me you have to disobey the order.”

In fact, Zhu Zaihou has been holding back his stomach since his son was forced into the palace, especially in the court that day, Zhu Zaihou felt that his authority had been challenged.

Today he wants to sound the alarm to all the ministers, let them know that Zhu Zaihou is the master of this world, and he controls their life and death.

Seeing the emperor getting angry, the ministers hurriedly stood up, and the timid people were already trembling. After glancing at the officials underground, Zhu Zaihou said to Lu Fang, "Go, show these to the ministers?"

Looking at the secret letter in their hands, a group of ministers finally knew why the emperor was angry. Some ministers who were closer to Wu Dingyuan hurriedly avoided, fearing that they would be involved in the slightest.

The people in Wu Dingyuan's party seemed to be infected with the plague, and everyone avoided it. Wu Dingyuan didn't know the reason, and the letter hadn't reached him until now, but just looking at those letters, he felt a little bad.

Just after all the officials had finished watching, Fang Fangyi took the Dongchang people to the court hall and tied Wu Dingyuan with some generals. Wu Dingyuan was shocked and fell to his knees and shouted: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty , I am wronged."

"Wrong, hmph, who loves to show those letters to Mr. Wu."

Seeing the secret letter, Wu Dingyuan turned ashen and broke out in cold sweat. He didn't expect Zhu Tai to leave evidence. Now, he knew that begging for mercy was useless, so he broke free when the Dongchang people were careless. He grabbed the rope and snatched the guard's knife, ready to fight to the death.

The house standing on the side is not easy to let him be presumptuous. He stepped forward, dodged Wu Dingyuan's knife, slapped him on the stomach, and knocked Wu Dingyuan to the ground. catch.

As a military general, Wu Dingyuan's kung fu is supposed to be good, but after he became a general, he neglected to practice, so he was subdued by Fang Fangyi.

Lying on the ground, Wu Dingyuan knew that he was doomed, and said in pain: "Your Majesty, the guilty minister deserves to die, but the criminal minister definitely did not participate in the rebellion. I hope the emperor will spare the family of the humble minister."

Zhu Zaihou waved his hand and said, "Detain him and interrogate him strictly."

Wu Dingyuan and a group of cadres were detained. Although they didn't do other people's business, seeing the emperor's ashen face, they all knelt on the ground in fear.

Zhu Zaihou said: "That day, you asked me to abolish Dongchang, so tell me, if Fang Aiqing didn't investigate this matter thoroughly, how would I know? There are such treacherous people in my court."

"Say it, didn't you say it with certainty that day? Why don't you say it today? Don't think that I don't know your thoughts because I live in the harem. I don't care how you intrigue, but you have to remember that this is still my world."

Looking at the trembling people below, Zhu Zaihou knew that the shock was almost over, and said in a more relaxed tone: "Cao Aiqing, you have done a great job in saving Jia, and you will be dismissed from Wu Dingyuan's post, and you will be in charge of the military power in the capital."

Zhu Zaihou wanted to tell everyone that only those who are devoted to him will have a prosperous career in office. As much as he can give, he can get back as much or even more.

Following Lu Fang's announcement of retreating from the court, all the officials seemed to be amnesty, and the cold sweat on their bodies had not subsided after leaving the Hall of Supreme Harmony, especially Gao Gong and Xu Jie. A grudge has already developed.
