Zhu Houzhao, the lonely Ming Dynasty, angrily snatched Yan Shenggong at the beginning!

Chapter 11 The Veteran of the Four Dynasties, the Pillar of the Country!
"Oh!"

The three of them were just stunned for a moment. Liu Jian, who has always had a bad temper, slapped the table heavily, pointed at Yang Tinghe's nose and yelled angrily: "Yang Jiefu, you are very brave. You dare to slander Your Majesty. Your neck is itchy. Some Come and cut it yourself!"

Liu Jian is really angry. He watched Zhu Houzhao grow up. How sensible this child is.

Study the homework he teaches carefully every day, and often ask him for advice with some written articles, respect him very much, and treat him as a disciple every day when you see him in the palace, there is no need to pick on the rules.

Usually during festivals, this child, regardless of his status as the crown prince, would go to see him in person with things. Although the things are not expensive, filial piety is priceless.

Once he felt a cold, and the child was so undressed that he personally made medicine for him and changed the cold cloth on his forehead.

Liu Jian, who has always been impatient, was moved to the extreme at that moment, and sighed: Parents and children are nothing more than that.

At that moment, he swore in his heart that he must educate this child well in this life, assist this child well, and make him a model of the wise kings in the past.

Some time ago, when the child was reading the Analects of Confucius, he had a feeling and asked the emperor to go to the former residence of Confucius and feel the spirit of Confucius.

These teachers are very gratified.

If it wasn't for the fact that there were too many things in the cabinet, he would have wanted to go with the child and tell him more about the saint's story and spirit.

But before he left for a few days, when he was thinking about the child, Yang Ting and the person who accompanied him came back and told him that the Kong family had been robbed.

Well, Kong's family was robbed, and he was very sympathetic and shocked.

But he never expected that Yang Tinghe would suspect that the prince did it.

Such a good child, such an obedient, well-behaved and smart child, in Yang Tinghe's mouth, turned into a sinister and cunning bandit.

In his mind, Zhu Houzhao was like his own grandson, even closer than his own grandson. Liu Jian would never allow anyone to frame such a well-behaved and sensible child.

No matter who it is, even if it's the child's father, the emperor, he has to fight for it.

He never believed that the child he regarded as his own grandson could do such a morally unethical thing and violate the laws of the court.

"Liu Gong calm down, Liu Gong calm down!"

Xie Qian and Li Dongyang, after seeing Liu Jian finished speaking, were so angry that they picked up their teacups to hit Yang Tinghe, and rushed up to stop him.

At the same time, he turned his head and reprimanded Yang Tinghe, "Jie Fu, what you said is so stupid, why don't you rush to apologize to Mr. Liu."

"I…"

Yang Tinghe was about to cry.

What is this called.

He came to discuss with the three of them, but he didn't expect that Liu Jian wanted to beat him just as he started talking.

It wasn't until this moment that he realized how good the prince's impression was in Liu Jian's mind.

"Mr. Liu, please don't be annoyed. Let me finish what I have to say."

"That's right, Xixian, first listen to what Jiefu has to say, what's going on, we just need to listen to it."

Xie Qian also tried to persuade him repeatedly, while Li Dongyang kept stroking Liu Jian's chest, telling him to calm down first.

"Humph!"

Under the continuous persuasion of the two, Liu Jian snorted coldly and gave Yang Tinghe a hard look.

"If you can't say a thing or two today, I will never end with you."

"call!"

The furious tiger was persuaded to come down, Yang Tinghe hissed secretly.

Liu Jian really wanted to hit him, but he really didn't dare to fight back.

This big man who is about to succeed the chief assistant of the cabinet is the teacher of the current emperor and the prince, and his status and status are comparable to those of ordinary people.

If he fights with the other party, no matter who is right, the emperor and everyone will definitely scold him first.

"It's like this..."

"What's the matter? I heard you yelling all the way away. What happened again?"

Just when Yang Tinghe was about to speak, an old voice sounded from outside the door, and the four of them turned their heads to see an old man with a cane in his hand, wearing an official uniform, walking tremblingly, pushing the door and walking in.

"Meet Mr. Xu!"

The four saluted quickly, Liu Jian and Li Dongyang stepped forward to support the old man, and sat on the first seat in the room.

Xu Pu, a scholar of Jinshen Palace, the prince and Taifu, is currently the chief assistant of the cabinet.He lived a simple life, was kind and generous, and cared for talents. He was a famous auxiliary minister in the early years of Hongzhi.

This old man's qualifications are very old. He has experienced Jingtai, Tianshun, Chenghua, and Hongzhi four dynasties. There are almost no people who are older than him in the court.

It's just that this old man is almost 70 years old now, and he is already tired of seeing after dealing with government affairs all year round.

Although he is still holding the position of the chief assistant of the cabinet, due to physical reasons, he is no longer able to handle so many things, so he handed over the main things to Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, and Xie Qian, and he assisted in correcting them.

The reason why he came so late today was not because the old man was lazy, but because he went to the emperor.

Now his body is getting worse day by day, and this period of time is even more serious. At dusk, he can't see clearly, and he is like a blind man at night.

Knowing that his health might fail, the old man didn't want to delay the affairs of the court, so he went to ask Zhu Youtang to resign, hoping to return to his hometown to take care of himself.

It's a pity that Zhu Youtang was rejected, the old man was really reluctant to leave, so he told the old man.

Don't you like the prince, and the prince also likes to listen to your stories. If you leave suddenly and he can't see you when he comes back, he should be angry with me as a father.

So, for the sake of the prince, you should stay for a while and discuss resignation after the prince comes back.

He was also reluctant to let Zhu Houzhao the child's Xu Pu, so he agreed, but he still mentioned to Zhu Youtang that he might not be able to control the cabinet affairs so much, so he suggested that Liu Jian start to take over the entire cabinet.

Regarding this, Zhu Youtang had no objection, and directly agreed with the old man's idea.

The old man, who had already obtained the consent of semi-retirement, discussed some government affairs with Zhu Youtang, and then returned to the cabinet office, wanting to talk about it with Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, and Xie Qian.

But as soon as he arrived at the door of the cabinet, all the officials working inside were kicked out, and Liu Jian's roar could be faintly heard in the room.

Xu Pu shook his head helplessly, Liu Jian was fine with everything, but his temper was a little anxious.

Thinking that something happened, he opened the door and walked in without asking the officials outside.

"Old man, I was outside the door just now, and I heard your quarrel. What happened to make you wait like this? This is the cabinet, which is the place to deal with state affairs, not the place where you quarrel. You have to quarrel outside. Noisy, don't delay the work of other colleagues!"

As soon as the old man came up, he gave a few young people a lesson first, and then looked at Yang Tinghe.

"If the old man remembers correctly, you should be in Qufu with the crown prince. Why are you back? Where is the crown prince?"

"Mr. Xu, the Kong family was robbed. Hundreds of people were killed or injured, including several young masters of Mr. Yan Sheng who were also killed."

Before Yang Tinghe could answer, Li Dongyang at the side quickly explained the situation.

"He suspected that the prince did it!"

Liu Jian snorted coldly and added another sentence.

Xu Pu was taken aback after hearing this, thought for a moment, smiled slightly, looked at Yang Tinghe and asked:
"Have you seen it with your own eyes?"

Yang Ting and Yaotou, "This junior didn't see it with his own eyes, but..."

Just as Yang Tinghe was about to express his guess, Xu Pu reached out and stopped him.

"Have you seen the money the prince looted?"

Yang Tinghe shook his head again, "But the prince..."

But before he finished speaking, Xu Pu stretched out his hand to stop him.

"You have neither evidence nor witnessed it with your own eyes. Is it a bit too arbitrary to suspect the prince of a country based on your guessing?"

"But Mr. Xu, the crown prince..."

"Okay, you don't need to say more!"

Xu Pu interrupted Yang Tinghe once again, "Today's words came out of your mouth and entered my ears. Don't mention it to others. If you let the emperor know, you will inevitably have a court battle."

Yang Tinghe opened his mouth, and nodded helplessly under the gaze of Xu Pu's yellow eyes.

"The Kong family was looted by bandits, and there were many casualties. This is a huge matter. We can't make up our minds. Go...to find the emperor, and let the emperor decide this matter."

After Yang Tinghe shut up, Xu Pu stood up holding the table, and walked towards the door with Liu Jian's support.

When he came to the door, he stopped suddenly, turned his head and whispered to the people around him: "No matter whether Jiefu said the prince's conjecture is true or not, don't mention this matter to others, you will all be rotten in your stomach, The emperor can't say anything, otherwise..."

The old man paused heavily on his crutches, and his tone was a bit cold: "This old man will never spare him."
