The Eunuch's Hand Covers the Sky

Chapter 157
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" Above the court, all the officials below shouted long live.Now the emperor is sitting in the dragon hall, overlooking the great river and mountains.Different from the past, the current emperor's face is like water, and he doesn't say a word.The civil and military officials kneeling on the ground looked around suspiciously.Why didn't the emperor call for a waiver?Even so, none of the officials dared to move an inch.Shen Congwen, who was kneeling in the first row, suddenly turned to look at Wang Shitu next to him, but Wang Shitu was also looking at him.The two looked at each other and smiled.All are silent.

After a while, the elders of the group of ministers already had some leg pains.The emperor sighed deeply, and said: "A few days ago, you all impeached the prince. If you have nothing to do today, let's discuss and discuss it. Well, get up." As soon as the emperor's voice fell, everyone Chao Wenwu stood up one after another, shouting Xie Huang Majesty.And a Jinyi guard at the gate immediately shouted: "Xuan! Zuodu Censor, Dongchang Admiral Wang Zhen will meet you!"

Manchao Wenwu immediately turned around to look, only to see Wang Zhen, a group of Jinyiwei wearing a blue and white unicorn robe, walking in front of the hall.Seeing the panic on Wang Zhen's face, when he arrived at the main hall, he immediately knelt on the ground and shouted: "Sinner Wang Zhen, pay homage to the emperor! May my emperor live long and live long!" "Wang Zhen, are you guilty?" The guilty minister is guilty!"

"Speak!" "The criminal minister is not strict in discipline, which leads to such things as being inferior to animals! It really hurts the emperor's face!" "Hmph! Then what do you think?" The emperor just stared at Wang Zhen below. , that is domineering!But the real situation is only known to him.He was afraid that if Wang Zhen jumped over the wall in a hurry, he would start killing.But it's too late to regret.There were already thin beads of sweat on the back of the head.

At this time, Wang Zhen was full of thoughts on how to delay the time.As long as it is delayed enough for those generals to gather together, it will be enough time to lead the imperial guards in the capital.And Wang Zhen was already mentally prepared to give up Luo Di's life in order to gain time.Even those henchmen can throw away.This is a big gamble!The bet is that the emperor will give him a month! 30 days, as long as 30 days, the situation will be completely reversed!Thinking of this, Wang Zhen immediately made up his mind and shouted: "Luo Qianhu, such a rebellious and innocent person, should search his whole family and behead him at Meridian Gate!"

When Shen Congwen heard this, he couldn't help but look in surprise at Wang Zhen who was kneeling on the ground and couldn't see his face.It was the first time in my heart that I admired Wang Zhenqi.Those who achieve great things do not stick to small details, and the courage of a strong man to cut his wrists is not something everyone can do.Wang Zhen decided so.It was a good thing to surprise Shen Congwen.The emperor's face was as expected.He couldn't help but glanced at Wang Shitu, and said with a chuckle: "Luodi has committed a lot of crimes, so naturally he wants to set an example to others. But Wang Zhen, you can't be alone."

"Damn it!" Wang Zhen felt turbulent in his heart, could it be that Luodi's incident was just to divert attention, and the one who really had to deal with it was himself!Just to take advantage of his negligence, be charged with a crime, and be executed immediately!Suffered!

In this way, let alone delaying time, this is forcing myself to give up the hard work of the past eight years, is it not possible to kill?Wang Zhen's body, whose face was suddenly pale, began to tremble.The emperor saw it in his eyes, thought Wang Zhen was afraid, and said to himself: "It's all right to let the subordinates do evil, but you are not idle, right. You are the imperial envoy!"

As soon as these words came out, Song Shiqian, with a proud face on his face, hurriedly stood up, took out a piece of paper and said loudly: "The censor of Zuodu, Wang Zhen, the admiral of the East Factory, indulges his subordinates in committing crimes and bullies the capital. Using Dongchang’s power, threatened and forced traders to ask for money, gold and silver. There were more than 120 people in total. Those who refused to obey were killed by ransacking their homes. A total of 27 people died. The total amount of ill-gotten gains was 50 taels. All kinds of mansion gold and silver jewelry. The amount is no less than [-] taels!"

Speaking of this, the civil and military situation of the Manchu Dynasty was shocked.Wang Shitu smiled strangely.He squinted at Wang Zhen whose face was getting paler.But not only that, Song Shiqian continued immediately: "As the censor of Zuodu, I don't know how to serve the court and the emperor. But I use my power to frame Zhongliang! Gather party members! Those who disobey will be sent to Dongchang Prison for torture. When the people heard about Wang Zhen, they were terrified, and dared to be angry but did not dare to speak out."

The emperor nodded to Song Shiqian.Suddenly he sternly yelled at Wang Zhen: "You heard me! Such a big rebellion is a disaster for the country and the people. If I don't punish you, how can I manage the world!" All thoughts in my heart were dejected, wondering if I should use my power to kill all the officials present at this time.Time to run away.But I heard the emperor continue to say: "I think you have meritorious deeds in the past. However, the merits cannot be offset. For the time being, your property will be confiscated and your position will be removed. You will be sent to the dungeon to wait!"

"What!" Wang Zhen almost shouted.Fortunately, he hastily concealed the ecstasy in his heart.I couldn't help but think: "Great, these people are really afraid of breaking their own pots and falling. They dare not kill me. Instead, they are thrown into the sky prison. It doesn't matter! Are you living a less miserable life? I will double compensate you for these pains! "

Da da da, the two Jinyi guards stepped forward to lift Wang Zhen up, took off the black gauze hat, and tore off the unicorn robe.The long hair fell off the shawl immediately.Wang Zhen yelled in panic on his face: "Your Majesty! The guilty minister knew he was wrong! Please spare me this time! Your Majesty!"

"Pull it out! I'm upset to see it!" The emperor's face was full of anger, but his heart was filled with joy.This Wang Zhen has always been afraid of him because of his strong martial arts.Now the look of screaming for mercy.It really made him feel at ease.Not long after, Wang Zhen's calling gradually disappeared.The emperor also stabilized his mentality, and unconsciously showed a smile on his face and said: "What's the matter, dear friends? If you have nothing to do, you can retreat."

But it is said that Wang Zhen was taken to the prison of the Ministry of punishment.Wang Zhen saw it, he broke away from Jin Yiwei who was pulling him, and roared: "Let go of our family, I will go!" After saying that, he walked in with his head held high.One of the Jin Yiwei curled his lips, and muttered in a low voice with disdain: "What prestige is it? It's just a person to be punished."

Another guard in Jinyi hurriedly stepped forward and covered his mouth, and whispered, "I am on duty in the Ministry of Punishment, and I am most taboo to offend these officials who are to be punished. Who knows what the Holy One has in mind? One day when he returns to his post, won't we be hated by others? ? It’s just a matter of taking good care of him. After the service is done, you may be able to fly to the top one day, and it’s just around the corner.”

It turned out that Jin Yiwei nodded hurriedly, and said as a sign of approval: "Senior taught me a lesson, but I didn't know the severity. Let's quickly arrange a good cell for him. Serve good food and drink, take care of the bedroom and the floor. Take good care of him." Just do it." "That's right, let's hurry up." After saying that, the two of them seemed to see the hope of official career, and hurriedly kicked the money.Step forward and click carefully.
