Chapter 39 Kill me!
  According to ancient rules, when a parent dies and a son serves as an official abroad, he must return to his hometown to mourn for three years. After the mourning period expires, he can return to his post and continue to work.

Otherwise, it will be "forgetting relatives" and "stealing love".

In the fifth year of Wanli, Zhang Juzheng's father passed away. Logically speaking, Zhang Juzheng should have returned to his hometown to mourn for three years.

However, at that time, Zhang Juzheng had only been the chief minister for a few years, and many of the reforms implemented by his subordinates were also in the top priority implementation stage.

If I leave the court for three years at this juncture, let alone any reforms, the day lily will be cold.

Zhang Juzheng had endured for so many years, endured and lain dormant under the hands of Yan Song, Xu Jie, and Gao Gong for so long, and finally climbed to the top of power. How could he be willing to let go of the power he held tightly in his hands?
  For him, power is just a tool to realize his desires. Zhang Juzheng has an ambition to become a saint. He would rather be a straw mat for others to lie on, stained by feces and urine, to achieve his goal.

Therefore, Zhang Juzheng chose to violate the ancestral etiquette - to seize love!
  The order and rules that people have maintained for thousands of years were just broken by Zhang Juzheng. How could those who guarded the rules be willing to do so?

Since then, overwhelming impeachment memorials have hit Wanli Emperor Zhu Yijun like snowflakes, all of which impeach Zhang Juzheng for forgetting his family and seizing love.

Among these impeachment memorials, there is one by Yu Shenxing and one by Wang Xijue.

However, no matter how the officials tried to impeach him, Wanli Emperor Zhu Yijun was like a son who couldn't live without his father, and he refused to let his "Mr. Zhang" go home to mourn.

At this time, some people with bad tempers couldn't stand it anymore.

Since the emperor and others can't force him, then they can force Zhang Juzheng!

As a result, a group of ministers headed by Wang Xijue went directly to Zhang Juzheng's house to cause trouble!

This group of literati with Jinshi background were like bandits robbing, with a very bad attitude. Especially Wang Xijue, he had a very upright temper back then and would easily get excited if he disagreed with him!
  At that time, Wang Xijue and Zhang Juzheng argued for several rounds, but Wang Xijue could never defeat Zhang Juzheng because the other party kept saying that it was not that he did not want to go home to mourn, but that the little emperor refused to let him go.

Wang Xijue was so angry that he was so excited that he pointed directly at Zhang Juzheng's nose, called him by his name and cursed:

"Why is the Holy Wrath unpredictable? Why can't the Emperor live without you? I think it's you, Zhang Juzheng, who is greedy for power! You just can't bear to let go!"

It is extremely impolite to call someone by their first name, not to mention that this person is the chief minister of the cabinet.

When other ministers present saw this scene, they were shocked by Wang Xijue's bravery. Everyone who didn't know Zhang Juzheng's temper would be in bad luck sooner or later if he dared to offend Zhang Juzheng.

However, just when everyone thought Wang Xijue was 'dead', what Zhang Juzheng did next was something no one expected!

I saw Zhang Juzheng walking quickly to the guard outside the door, and pulled out the long knife from the guard's waist. The next moment, he walked up to Wang Xijue with the knife in hand!
  This scene shocked everyone. Just when everyone thought Zhang Juzheng was so angry that he wanted to kill Wang Xijue with a knife, an unexpected scene happened again!
  Zhang Juzheng knelt down towards Wang Xijue with a "plop", put the knife in his hand on his neck, and said loudly to Wang Xijue:

"Come! Kill me!"

Now, everyone was stunned!
  Wang Xijue was even more frightened!
  The dignified chief minister actually knelt in front of him and put a knife to his neck, asking him to kill him! ?
  Wang Xijue couldn't believe what he saw at that time. Even though he was frightened and ran away, those who followed him to the Zhang family to cause trouble also dispersed.

This is what happened six years ago, in the fifth year of Wanli.

Six years have passed since the incident, and Zhang Juzheng has also died. Logically speaking, this memory should have been diluted by time.

But this incident has forever left Wang Xijue's psychological shadow.

Yu Shenxing is not Wang Xijue. He doesn't know how resentful Wang Xijue is about this incident, and he doesn't know whether Wang Xijue still hates Zhang Juzheng. He only knows that Wang Xijue is not in a good mood now, and he wants something from him, so I didn't dare to ask any more questions.

Yu Shenxing stopped asking, but Wang Xijue took the initiative to speak and just listened to him say:
  "I want to go to the Zhang family to see for myself. I don't believe that Zhang Taiyue has no backup plans!"

... Zhang's front yard.

Zhang Chonghui was taken to the front lobby again. This time, what was waiting for him was no longer a room full of officials, but the prince Zhu Yili.

"What do you mean, you boy? Why do you want to act for me? How dare you play tricks on me? Is your head too heavy? Do you want to move to a place?"

Zhu Yili looked at the six-year-old baby in front of him and asked this question directly.

Faced with such threatening words of 'asking for his head', Zhang Chonghui showed no trace of panic on his face. He replied: "I don't understand what you are talking about."

"You kid are still pretending to be with me?" Zhu Yixuan walked directly to Zhang Chonghui, squatted down, stared into the other person's eyes and said:

"You all know that you will cooperate with me in acting for those old guys, so there is no need to pretend to be naive in front of me."

After the words were spoken, Zhu Yili realized that something was wrong. Why would he say such a thing to a six-year-old? The strangest thing was that he actually subconsciously regarded the child in front of him as an adult.

Zhu Yili was in doubt when Zhang Chonghui spoke, "Cooperating with you in acting? I really don't know what you are talking about, and I have always told the truth."

"Truth?" Zhu Yiliu's eyes were full of jest, obviously he didn't believe Zhang Chonghui's words, but he still asked: "Then I ask you, who killed Ren Yangxin?"

Zhang Chonghui looked into Zhu Yili's eyes and said, "I said I killed him, do you believe it?"

"Hahaha." Zhu Yili laughed and said, "Don't tell me, I really believe it!"

Zhang Chonghui also laughed: "Haha, I'm bragging."

"Okay, I'm not in the mood to play with you, a kid." Zhu Yijun suddenly turned cold and became serious:

"You should have guessed that I am here to help your Zhang family. If you want to survive, you must answer honestly. I ask you, did you kill Ren Yangxin?"

Zhang Chonghui responded directly without any hesitation: "Yes."

Zhu Yiliu frowned: "How did you kill him? Who helped you?"

"Do you really want to know?" Zhang Chonghui asked.

"Speak quickly!" Zhu Yili didn't have the patience to talk nonsense with Zhang Chonghui. He just wanted to know the truth now.

Just when Zhu Yili was about to stand up and continue to question Zhang Chonghui, something horrifying happened to him!

He didn't even know what he was going through. He saw a sudden shaking in front of his eyes, and the little baby Zhang Chonghui, who was still standing in front of him, only one step away from him, had actually jumped on his chest!

What frightened Zhu Yili the most was that at this moment, his throat was being pressed against by something cold!

Chill instantly spread all over the body, and for the first time, panic appeared in the eyes of this domineering, arrogant and spoiled young prince!

 Guys, please read, woo woo woo...
