The Eunuch's Hand Covers the Sky

Chapter 108
The emperor looked at Wang Zhen who was very restrained and smiled and said, "Are you wondering why I am not sick? Why do I still have the strength to correct the memorial?" Wang Zhen immediately trembled, knowing that those princes still have civil and military affairs in the Manchu dynasty. All were tricked by the emperor.With a puff, he knelt down and kowtowed his head to plead guilty: "The criminal suspects the emperor for no reason, he deserves death! I beg the emperor to show mercy!" After saying that, there were a few head slaps.

The emperor chuckled.Shaking his head, he said, "Get up, I don't blame you. I believe everyone in the capital believes it is true. It's not your fault alone." After saying this, Wang Zhen stood up tremblingly.His legs and neck were shaking.But in Wang Zhen's heart, there was no panic, but he was thinking about the emperor's intentions like lightning.This time the emperor was pretending to be sick, the princes below would definitely not be able to bear it. The eldest prince is honest and honest, so he should not do anything out of the ordinary.

But considering the second prince's nature, maybe he really can't bear it, and he will fight for the king!Could it be that the emperor intended to take the eldest prince to inherit the throne, and in order to consolidate the eldest prince's future throne, he naturally tempted the second prince to raise troops, and this was the reason why the second prince was expelled from the capital. .No!It's not just the capital, it's a serious crime of treason, if it's not good, it's just a commoner, or even beheaded!However, the second prince has been under his command for a long time, and the 48 guards outside the capital are all at the disposal of his generals.etc!Could it be that there are traitors among the people under the second prince?
Wang Zhen was startled by his guess.Or intimidated by the facts.When I was a scholar, I often heard Wen Zhengming say that the emperor was ruthless.Now Wang Zhen has learned that the emperor is ruthless. In order to consolidate the throne, he ruthlessly killed his own son!In comparison, Wang Zhen and this emperor have very similarities in common.

Thinking of the facts, Wang Zhen said this: "The Holy Majesty is wise and mighty, but I and ordinary people can guess it? The Holy Majesty's actions must be reasonable. It is the duty of the ministers to do what the Holy Majesty said." That's fair enough to say.The emperor nodded, and stopped telling Wang Zhen to get up, put down the vermilion pen in his hand, picked up the almond tea next to him and said, "Wang Zhen, you have made great achievements in suppressing the rebellion, how do you want me to reward you? Don't say anything for the sake of me." For the sake of the court, I dare not ask for rewards. I have listened to such pretentious words for decades."

Wang Zhen sighed in his heart, he really seemed to say that just now.But he didn't know that the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty had already said this badly, so he had no choice but to say: "I don't ask for anything, I just hope that the emperor will exempt Henan from taxes for two years. Give the people who have suffered from the famine a day to recuperate."

At this moment, the emperor let out an oh, and looked at Wang Zhen who was kneeling on the ground with rather strange eyes.But he didn't expect that Wang Zhen, an eunuch, not only cared about the government, but also cared about the people so much.In this kind of intriguing officialdom, Wang Zhen is also an outlier.In fact, Wang Zhen, who was lying on the bottom, laughed secretly.In fact, when I just stood up to answer the question, I happened to see that the memorial that the emperor put aside for correction was describing the severe drought in Henan and the tragic situation of the people changing their sons to eat each other.It is also good to learn and apply it now, to be loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and to plead for the people.

The emperor nodded approvingly, stood up suddenly, pointed at Wang Zhen angrily and shouted: "You are a eunuch! When will you wait for someone to participate in a major national event? Come on! Give it to me!" Pull it out and cut it!" Wang Zhen trembled all over, a little unbelievable, could it be that the flattery was on the horse's leg?

I heard that the emperor understands the sentiments of the people, so why would he want to kill me?Just because he is a eunuch?Wang Zhen's expression changed drastically, the door slammed open, and two Jinwu guards came to Wang Zhen's side with big horses and swords, and they were about to arrest him.Wang Zhen was thinking about whether to kill the killer and run away.The gloomy emperor suddenly asked: "Seeing that you have made great achievements in suppressing the rebellion, let me ask you again, are you really going to exempt Henan from taxes for two years? Don't you plan to change it?"

Wang Zhen, who was on the verge of moving, was suddenly taken aback, and a burst of ecstasy broke out in his heart!But it wasn't the emperor who gave him a chance and was ecstatic, it was him who suppressed it!Your majesty is testing your sincerity!Thinking of this, Wang Zhen broke away from the Jinwu guard, knelt down on the ground and said with tears running down his cheeks: "Although the criminal minister is an eunuch, he was indeed a scholar in the past. He understands the general principles and understands the principles of the country. The people are the foundation of the country, how can we do it for the sake of it?" It's just a matter of money and nothing can be saved?
Wouldn't it chill the hearts of scholars and common people in the world?The emperor wants to kill the criminal minister, but the criminal minister has nothing to say.I only hope that the death of the guilty minister can bring back the lives of tens of thousands of hungry people in Henan!Even die in peace! "After that, he didn't wipe the tears on his face, and touched his forehead to the ground with a heavy slap, and got up solemnly and was about to go with the Jinwu Guard. It was a real performance of a loyal minister and good son. Even the Jinwu Guard standing beside him It's also a sore nose. This kind of person who serves the country and the people, although he is an eunuch, has a hot heart. He is better than those literati who recite poems all day long!

This time, the emperor was really shocked.Looking at the situation, I don't want to tell lies.Moreover, faith in fate is here, and the words of a dying person are also good.I don't think it's intentional flattery, but it's true!The emperor, who was determined in his mind, waved his hand hurriedly to stop the Jin Wuwei, and said with a somewhat stern look: "You are so considerate of the people. I am not those tyrants. I will follow your words. But if the merits are equal, the merits of suppressing the rebellion will be counted." Already." This is finding the steps to go down.Is there any difference from just now?Wang Zhen, who was secretly relieved, knelt down on the ground again.He shouted gratefully: "Your Majesty is wise! Long live my emperor!"

Wang Zhen, who fell to the ground after shouting, thought that everything was true, but at this moment, an extremely slight sigh suddenly came from the place behind which was blocked by the screen.It was a sigh of relief!The sound was so weak that no one present could hear it.But who is Wang Zhen? He is a peerless master at the peak of the seventh level of the Sunflower Book.

This weak gasp was immediately caught by Wang Zhen!I can't help but feel a huge wave in my heart!How could someone hide nearby without being noticed by him!He barely noticed it until the other party sighed.Let's not talk about this person's martial arts, if it is this ability to restrain the breath, it is no problem to be alone in the martial arts world!Unexpectedly, unexpectedly, there is such a master by the emperor's side!
The emperor naturally didn't know what Wang Zhen was thinking, but nodded his head and said: "That's fine, everything is over. Wang Zhen, you go on your own. I will take care of the disaster in Henan." "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness! My minister resigns! "After drinking, I took advantage of the floor and crawled out.He turned around and left with a smile on his face.But whether it is really pleasant, who knows?
