high official

Chapter 574 Big-name audience
"Second Master, why bother? At worst, the play won't be performed, and it's not worth it to make him get into trouble with those good brothers." Wang Xian said with a wry smile, "No, I have to persuade him."

"It's not just about the adults, it's also about my second master's face," Zhang Butler said with a wry smile, "It's useless for you to go, let the second master make trouble, if you have enough trouble, it will stop..." Butler Zhang This kind of family general under Zhang Yu's command was designated by Zhang Fu as Zhang Yu's housekeeper. In fact, the significance of supervision and care is greater than the task of giving him a housekeeper.

"It's a big deal." Wang Xian sighed, turned his hands back depressed, and came to the Prison God Temple that was going to be the Hall of Yama. Seeing the group of subordinates who were busy making the final preparations, he felt that he couldn't speak. But he could only open his mouth and say: "Everyone stop..."

From Yan Qing down, everyone stopped what they were doing and stared at Wang Xian with excitement in their eyes. Although they had handled countless cases, it was the first time for such a novel case like this one.This is to play the role of the king of hell and bring the hall of hell to the world!

"There was an accident, and the promised audience couldn't come..." Looking at these loyal subordinates with red eyes, Wang Xian said with some difficulty, but he didn't know what to say, when he heard a hurried voice from outside the door Come:

"The promised audience can't come anymore, but a bigger audience has come!"

Accompanied by this cry, Zhang Min, who was sweating profusely, appeared in front of Wang Xian, and said with a strange expression: "Everyone, hurry up and prepare, this time we can only succeed, not fail!"

Everyone thinks who are you, and you are not afraid of the wind flashing your tongue when you speak so loudly?Naturally, no one cared about Zhang Min, and all looked at Wang Xian.

"It's like this, a distinguished guest came here temporarily, so everyone must not make any mistakes." Wang Xian glanced at the unreliable Zhang Min, waved to everyone, and said, "Everyone, take your place!"

"Here!" The crowd didn't know what happened just now, but they didn't care about that much anymore, and they had to concentrate on preparing for the next 'performance' first.

Wang Xianze and Zhang Min walked out of the Prison Temple, and sighed, "What kind of medicine do you sell in your gourd?"

"Well, it's hard to say. I don't know if I helped you or hurt you." Zhang Erye, who has always been bold, suddenly flashed his words: "Now is not the time to go into details. Anyway, hurry up and ask your subordinates to fight ten thousand If you're half-hearted, just treat it as the emperor's inspection, and don't make trouble!"

"Your analogy is really..." Wang Xian said halfway through, he gulped and said, "Could it be that the emperor is really here?"

"Yeah..." Zhang Wei said with a sad face: "Just now my housekeeper came to tell you. I went to Cheng Guogong's house to ask why he let me go, but this guy said that the emperor asked him to let him go. He also said It was he who inadvertently mentioned this matter to the emperor when he was accompanying the driver, but the emperor became interested and wanted to go to the show in modest clothes. Zhu Yong has already gone to pick him up, and the holy driver will be here at any time..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard a commotion outside, and Shuai Hui ran over with a ghostly expression on his face, "My lord, hurry up, pick up Shengjia..."

"Don't panic, everything will be as usual." Wang Xian frowned and ordered in a deep voice.

"Yes." Shuai Hui immediately felt ashamed, saying that the realm between me and the adults was getting farther and farther away.

Zhang Min also gave a thumbs up and said, "It's like Zhou Yafu!"

Wang Xian only pretended to have a deep smile. In fact, he has already taken the highest level of security measures today in order not to make any mistakes in this play. Since there is no way to strengthen it, why bother to pretend to be nervous?

While speaking, dozens of men in brocade clothes had poured into the Temple of the Prison God. Without further ado, they rushed to various dangerous places with the fastest speed. These people were extremely well-trained and their movements were extremely fast.It's just that no matter how fast they move, they are no match for the first-come, first-served... The positions that all of them are going to occupy are already guarded by black-clothed guards.

The situation was unknown, and the Jinyi guards drew out their weapons one after another. The men in Jinyi had no choice but to stand still in embarrassment. The leader took out his waist card from his pocket, and showed it to Wang Xian, "We are the guards of the Great Nei!"

Shuaihui had already experienced the waist card before, so Wang Xian didn't need to be pretentious anymore, so he nodded and said solemnly: "Is it Shengjia?"

"That's right." The brocade-clothed leader nodded.

"The lower officials are all on assignment." Wang Xian clapped his hands hurriedly.

The brocade-clothed leader looked around and said speechlessly: "The defense is already perfect, just let those positions out."

"Withdraw!" Wang Xian ordered, Jin Yiwei gave up his sentry post, and those big inner guards with swords in front of the imperial court took their place, and disappeared in the darkness in a blink of an eye.

.

When Wang Xian and Zhang Yu came to the gate of the Prison Temple and waited, they didn't see the expected splendid guard of honor. They saw dozens of knights in brocade clothes coming quickly from a distance, and they were in front of them in a blink of an eye.When the accompanying knights parted, two knights protected at the core appeared.The leader was a green-robed middle-aged man with a strong figure and a bushy beard. He was the Emperor Yongle of the Ming Dynasty!

I don't know if it's a psychological effect, but Wang Xian feels that although Zhu Di is wearing casual clothes, he still has an unstoppable aura of domineering!
Although the emperor is not often seen, Wang Xian and Zhang Min still see it from time to time, and hurriedly led the crowd to kneel on the ground and shouted:

"The minister waits to welcome the holy driver!"

"Go in and talk!" Zhu Di came here lightly, naturally he didn't want to attract attention, he glanced at Wang Xian lightly, and rode his horse into the Prison Temple.The young man who followed Zhu Di was only 24 or [-] years old, with a face like a jujube, a majestic appearance, and a full-bodied appearance. He was the Duke of Cheng, Zhu Yong!

Zhu Yong was the son of Zhu Neng, a great hero of Jingnan. In the fourth year of Yongle, Zhu Neng served as the general who conquered Yi and conquered Annan. Unfortunately, he died of illness in the army.The emperor lost his confidant and beloved general, and in the new year, he let Zhu Yong take over his father's title.

At that time, Zhu Yong was only 15 years old, and he became the Duke of the Ming Dynasty.Moreover, the emperor loves Wu Jiwu, and loves Zhu Yong who resembles his father very much. He often takes him by his side and teaches him the art of war and martial arts in person.

This time, when Zhu Yong was accompanying the emperor to shoot arrows, he told Zhu Di some funny things to relieve his boredom, so he accidentally slipped the tongue...Zhu Yong and Zhang Wei are about the same age, they are good buddies who have played with their buttocks until they grow up, see this The first time he caused trouble for his brother, he winked at Zhang Min, and followed the emperor in embarrassingly.

After Zhu Yong entered, Wang Xian and Zhang Min stood up and looked at each other with wry smiles. Now that things are up to now, they can only ask for blessings...

The two followed in silently, and saw Zhu Di standing in the courtyard, looking at the completely unrecognizable Prison Temple with great interest—the most striking change was that the original plaque was removed and replaced with a blue plaque. There is a gold-plated plaque with red letters on the bottom, and three shocking seal scripts are written on it-Yan Luodian!

"Wang Xian, what are you doing!" When Zhu Di looked at Wang Xian, his expression was unfriendly, as if he was asking for a crime.

Wang Xian hurriedly knelt down to plead guilty and said: "Your Majesty, I ordered to retry the murder case of Shuiche Lane. However, the case has gone on for a long time, most of the witnesses and evidence have been annihilated, and the suspect is still dead. I really have no choice. It can only be done by surprise.”

"Hmph, I think you're fooling around!" Zhu Di said, rolling his eyes.

In fact, the emperor was not mad at Wang Xian for messing around, but was angry at him for inviting a group of princes to watch. Although he knew that he wanted to invite people to be witnesses to avoid further changes, it was inevitable that he would threaten the holy will... This is what The reason for the emperor's displeasure.But as soon as Wang Xian said that it was Qi Dazhu's case, Zhu Di was relieved... How many officials lost their love for that case?The officials of the Ministry of Punishment and the Metropolitan Procuratorate were all implicated, and it is still unclear.Wang Xian really wanted to cut this bullshit case so much, he used too much force for a while and didn't think so thoroughly, which is understandable.

Speaking of it, this was really Wang Xian's negligence. He didn't expect that this would make the emperor unhappy, but fortunately, his previous efforts on the Duke of England were not in vain. Favorability greatly increased.There is a saying that Xi Shi is in the eye of the beholder. Although the emperor and Wang Xian are not in a relationship, but because he has a good impression of him, he thinks about the best in everything...

It can be seen that being a man still requires the help of noble people.

Of course, one's own tact is also essential. Wang Xian quickly realized his negligence, and hurriedly said with a look of panic: "It's because I didn't think carefully, and I should ask the emperor first about this matter." He said a little shyly: "My minister At that time, I felt that this move was too absurd, and I was worried that I would be reprimanded by the emperor..."

"Aren't you going to be punished more for this?" Zhu Di snorted.But saying this means that Wang Xian passed the test very fortunately. Sure enough, Zhu Di waved his hand and said, "Forget it, you are the presiding judge, and it is reasonable to invite honorable judges." After a pause, he changed the subject and said: " Don't you want to act, when will it start? I came out of the palace to watch the play, so don't mess it up."

Only then did Wang Xian secretly heave a sigh of relief, and found that his back was drenched. The so-called companionship is like companionship, the ancients never deceived me!
"Your Majesty, please move to the side hall, that's the auditorium." Concentrating on himself, he pleaded guilty to Zhu Di: "I didn't know about the emperor's arrival beforehand, so I set up the seats in the east side hall, I really deserve death."

"I don't pay that much attention." Zhu Di waved his hand, and walked towards the side hall in a hurry, "Even if the theater troupe in the palace were acting, they didn't say that I should sit on the stage in the middle, they ran to the audience to perform. ..."

The emperor told a joke, and those who were qualified to laugh were immediately amused. Zhang Min did not have Wang Xian's acting skills, and unlike Zhu Yong, who grew up beside the emperor, it was inevitable that he would laugh unnaturally, just like being tickled. .

However, the emperor thought that he still couldn't let go of what happened before, so he smiled and explained for Zhu Neng: "Zhang Min, don't give birth to Zhu Neng. It’s because I asked him to prevent those guests from coming, it’s not that you don’t have enough face, nor that Zhu Neng is not enough to be a brother, if you want to blame, you can blame me.”

"I don't dare, I'm terrified." Zhang Fu's first two sentences were quite normal, and then he flattered him with a shy face: "But I'm not angry with Zhu Yong. Although he resigned several guests for me, he helped me invite them." The guests I invited are ten thousand times more expensive than the ones I invited. So instead of being angry with him, it’s too late to thank him!"

"That's good, that's good." Zhu Di was very pleased with Zhang Min's flattery, and laughed and entered the side hall.
