Chapter 234 Troublesome(1/2)
But Emperor Zhou asked, "What a strange method?"
Shao Shuhuan thought about it and frowned: "It seems like a woman is imitating a man to speak in a rough voice... Well, it seems wrong, it's a bit like..."
"What does it look like?" Emperor Zhou asked hurriedly.
Shao Shuhuan whispered in his ear: "Like the voice of the inner supervisor."
"Eunuch?" Emperor Zhou frowned slightly. When did such a master come from the eunuch?
Shao Shuhuan nodded and said, "That sound does sound like it."
Emperor Zhou shook his head and said, "It is impossible to be sure that he is an internal priest by voice alone. If someone deliberately imitates the eunuch's words, Shuhuan may not be able to tell it out." As he said that, he paused, held him leaning against the soft couch, and sighed, "Shuhuan should not think about these things, sleep for a while, so let's leave this for Shao She and the Ministry of Justice to worry about it."
"Your Majesty, you look like a kind father!" Shao Shuhuan closed his eyes and saw it, but after a while, he couldn't help but open his eyes and said.
"What do you mean?" said Emperor Zhou, "I am your father, why do you look like someone?"
"How great it would be that you are not the Emperor." Shao Shuhuan sighed softly.
Emperor Zhou was stunned and said for a while: "Average families, even in thatched cottages and cottages, do not forget to love their children as a father. Can't I love their children?"
Shao Shuhuan smiled softly: "Your Majesty. Shuhuan doesn't mean that."
"I understand the meaning of Shuhuan. Don't worry, Shuhuan." Emperor Zhou said.
Shao Shuhuan was stunned instead. Don’t worry? Why did he feel relieved?
"Huan'er. I have tried very hard to suppress my anger in my heart!" said Emperor Zhou. "That Shao Qing. You are making trouble for the assassin, but he went back to drink and Gaole. Does this look like it? According to the law, you should be killed."
Shao Shuhuan just smiled bitterly, and was about to speak. Zhang Derong outside opened the curtain and whispered: "Report to Your Majesty. Lord Shao is here."
"Xuan!" Emperor Zhou said with a deep face.
"Your Majesty, you are Shao You, Minister of War, and Shao Qing, the captain of the guard of His Highness Huan." Zhang Derong bowed and said.
"Hmph!" Emperor Zhou's face became even more gloomy. He snorted, got up, strode outward, and walked to the door. He turned around and looked at Shao Shuhuan and said, "You should rest first."
Shao Shuhuan nodded and agreed. Emperor Zhou was right. He was indeed forcibly suppressing the anger in his heart. It would be better not to stir up the flames and stir up the flames.
Zhang Derong was busy carefully raising the curtains. Qin Hui and Wang Tai walked into the inner room to serve Shao Shuhuan. Emperor Zhou sat down on a Huanghuali carving chair outside, and then he said slowly: "Xuan!"
"Yes!" Zhang Derong hurriedly agreed. He walked outside and said to Shao You and his son, "Xuan Shao You, Shao Qing meet you!"
Shao You looked at Zhang Derong, looked at Shao Qing again, and then walked slowly in. Shao Qing was busy following him.
"My dear Shao You, Shao Qing has seen Your Majesty!" Shao You knelt down on the ground to salute.
"You two are coming quickly?" Emperor Zhou snorted, stared at Shao Qing for a while, and asked, "Shao Aiqing, you already know what to do. What should you do? He was a third-rank military officer who was in office and neglected his duties and caused such a thing. I think you, the Minister of War, don't want to do it anymore, right?"
When Shao Qing heard this, cold sweat broke out on his head. If the incident caused my father to lose his position as Minister of War, he would be extremely damn.
"Damn it!" Shao You hurriedly knelt forward for half a step, and kowtowed three times on the ground, saying, "I am not good at teaching my son. I would like to ask Your Majesty to take care of Your Majesty for the sake of serving Your Majesty over the years. Once you die, I am willing to be dismissed from the position of Minister of War..."
Shao You also knew in his heart that it was indeed Shao Qing's dereliction of duty this time. As Shao Shuhuan's personal guard captain, he slept so hard that he was completely unaware of the situation during the assassination of Shao Shuhuan. He was ashamed of Gaole at home. He could not tell anything.
But God knows why the good Qingyao Villa caused trouble for the assassin?
Shao Shuhuan frowned when he heard it inside. It would be a bit unreasonable if Shao You lost the Minister of War because of this.
"No..." Shao Qing was shocked and hurriedly knelt down and crawled in front, kowtowed, "Your Majesty, this matter has nothing to do with my father. I am dereliction of duty. Please do not punish your father. I am willing to die."
"Qing'er, don't talk nonsense!" Shao You said anxiously, and said as he kowtowed repeatedly, "Please beg your Majesty."
Emperor Zhou didn't say anything, but slowly picked up the teacup on the floor next to him, sipped the teacup gently, put down the teacup for a while, and asked, "Shao Aiqing, do you think if my beloved son is assassinated tonight, will you be able to escape?"
Shao You didn't dare to answer a word, but just knelt on the ground and met his head again and again. The Swallow Dock was covered with smooth square bricks, extremely hard. In just a moment, his forehead was broken and blood was flowing.
If Shao Shuhuan died tonight, the result of Shao Qing's dereliction of duty would be enough for his family to be executed.
Emperor Zhou looked at the blood splashing on the ground and snorted: "Shao Qing, I asked you to be the captain of the personal guards. Have you been dissatisfied with me?"
"I... dare not!" Shao Qing was indeed dissatisfied, but at this time, he would not dare to tell the truth with his courage. The prince's personal guard captain has been no longer a low position as a third-rank official. But if he was the personal guard captain of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he would be very happy, but this person was Shao Shuhuan, which always made him feel a little discord. So to a large extent, he almost disagreed.
"So you didn't take it seriously?" Emperor Zhou asked coldly.
Shao Qing did not dare to answer, Emperor Zhou's eyes swept over Shao Qing, Shao You and his son, and after a long time, he said slowly: "Come here, take Shao Qing to the Ministry of Justice."
"No!" Shao You was shocked, and did not care about being rude, so he climbed up to Emperor Zhou, hurriedly hugged his legs and said, "Your Majesty, I beg you to forgive Qing'er this time, I am willing to die for him. Your Majesty..."
Outside, Emperor Zhou's personal guard had already come in. After arresting Shao Qing, he would be taken out.
Shao Shuhuan sighed softly inside, helped Wang Tai and walked out slowly.
When Shao You saw him, he hurriedly crawled over and kowtowed, "Shuhuan... no, Your Highness Huan. Please save the child."
Shao Shuhuan couldn't help looking at Emperor Zhou. A smile appeared on the corner of Emperor Zhou's mouth. He immediately understood that he had suffered a little bit of injury. Emperor Zhou did not want to kill Shao Qing because of this, but Shao You was given the position of Minister of War. He just used this to give him a favor to Shao You.
"Please get up by Lord Shao!" Shao Shuhuan said hurriedly, seeing that his forehead had been broken, his face was covered with blood, looking extremely embarrassed, and even a little hideous and terrifying, which was very different from his usual appearance.
"Your Highness Huan, I..." Shao You was anxious to say something.
"Huan'er comes here to sit!" said Emperor Zhou.
Zhang Derong hurriedly walked over and helped Shao Shuhuan sit next to Emperor Zhou. Emperor Zhou then said, "Shao Aiqing. I want to kill Shao Qing, you know you are anxious, but if those vicious assassins succeed tonight, they will die for my flesh and blood----just this one, do you say, can Shao Qing forgive me?"
"Yes!" Shao You felt the liquid blurred his eyes, and hurriedly raised his sleeves to wipe it, but couldn't help but burst into tears. "I know that my child committed a death sentence, but I just ask Your Majesty to give me kindness from the law."
"Shuhuan, this Shao Qing is your guard captain, what do you say?" Emperor Zhou asked Shao Shuhuan.
Shao Shuhuan looked at Shao You and Shao Qing and his son who were kneeling on the ground and kowtowed constantly. The foreheads of both of them had been broken, and the originally smooth bricks and floors were stained with blood. He sighed softly in his heart. Emperor Zhou had always been a generous and grand fatherly character in his heart. Until today he felt the indifference and even ruthlessness of his emperor side.
"Your Majesty, Shuhuan grew up in the Shao family since he was a child." Shao Shuhuan sighed, "Although Shao Qing dereliction of duty today, Shuhuan is not seriously injured. For the sake of his previous friendship, please ask Your Majesty to spare him. Besides, Shuhuan still wants this guard captain..."
"Haha!" Emperor Zhou chuckled, "Since that's the case, what should you do? He is seriously dereliction of duty tonight. If he just let it go, he will take care of others in the future?"
Shao Shuhuan thought for a while and said with a smile: "This is easy. The personal guards who died in the line of duty tonight. The family of the deceased is paid for the medical expenses of the injured. What do you think?"
"This punishment is too light." Emperor Zhou snorted and said, "In addition, Shao Qing neglected his duties and beat a hundred military sticks according to military rules and immediately executed them."
"Thank you for your kindness!" Shao You breathed a sigh of relief. Shao Qing has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, so he could naturally hold on to a hundred military sticks. In addition, he just took out some silver and came out. "Yes!" The inner guard hurriedly agreed, stepped forward and pulled Shao Qing, took it to the stone steps outside the door and pressed it to the ground. The inner guard had already prepared military sticks, took off his clothes, and greeted him hard at his thighs and buttocks.
Although Shao Qing has been practicing martial arts since childhood, he was born in a wealthy family of Dukes and Marquis. When did he suffer such a life? He immediately groaned in pain. But he also knew in his heart that his life was a waste of time today, and suffering from these flesh and blood was the lightest punishment.
If it weren't for Shao Shuhuan's entreaties, once he was taken to the Ministry of Justice, he would not know how humiliating and torture he would suffer. He would have tormented his father and lost his official position and hereditary title... He thought in his heart and secretly thanked Shao Shuhuan.
"Derong, go and see me, what about exemption?" asked Emperor Zhou.
"Yes!" Zhang Derong hurriedly said, "I'll go and invite me now."
Shao Shuhuan was also very strange. Logically speaking, Shao You and his son have been here for so long, why haven’t Shao She come yet? Since he knew something happened in Qingyao’s other courtyard, Shao Qing was afraid that he was doomed. Why should he avoid seeing the eldest son of the Shao family?
Zhang Derong hurriedly walked out. As soon as he arrived at the door, he saw the servant from the Shao family playing lanterns. Shao She stood at the door with a calm face.
And under the stone steps below, the inner guard was torturing Shao Qing.
"Mr. Shao...Mr. Shao..." Zhang Derong hurriedly went up to meet him and whispered: "Since Mr. Shao has arrived, why not go in?"
Shao She felt even more angry. Originally, Emperor Zhou was summoning him urgently, so he rushed over. Something happened in a few short steps. There were definitely not many people in the capital of the Great Zhou Kingdom who dared to stop him on the road. He would meet one tonight.
And it's the most unreasonable...
When he finally sent the unreasonable person, he rushed to Qingyao Villa, but when he saw that Shao Qing was beaten and unable to move.
"What's going on?" Shao She asked in a low voice. While he was speaking, he had already taken out a silver note from his sleeve, covered it up with his long sleeves, and handed it to Zhang Derong.
Zhang Derong smiled and put the silver notes into his sleeves without any trace, and whispered the situation inside.
Shao She frowned when he heard this and asked in a low voice: "How is Shuhuan?"
"It's nothing serious. I've suffered a little bit of injury." Zhang Derong whispered, "But Your Majesty is annoyed."
"I understand!" Shao She said, strode into it.
"Shao She meets you!" Zhang Derong shouted loudly with a sharp voice.
"I have seen Your Majesty." Shao She knelt down on the ground to salute, but secretly looked at Shao You. Seeing that his forehead was broken and his face was covered with blood, he felt sorry for him.
Emperor Zhou slowly drank tea and waited for a cup of tea to drink. He said slowly: "What happened in Qingyao Villa? I think Shao Aiqing already knows it, right?"
"Yes!" Shao She said.
"What does Shao Aiqing think about this?" asked Emperor Zhou.
"Your Majesty. I think it's still early now, Your Majesty should go back to the palace to rest, and the letter... Your Majesty Huan was frightened and injured, so he should have a good rest and rest. As for pursuing the murderer, he will naturally hand it over to the Ministry of Justice. Why should Your Majesty personally work for such a small matter?"
"A small matter?" Emperor Zhou's anger that had finally suppressed was suddenly revealed.
"Report to Your Majesty, Your Highness Huan is now deeply favored by Your Majesty. It is normal for someone to be jealous and assassinate. Since Your Highness Huan is not injured, it is naturally not a big deal." Shao She said that since Shao Shuhuan was not dead, it is not a big deal, nor is it a big deal. At most, some people are in trouble.
"So in Shao Aiqing's heart, these are all trivial matters?" said Emperor Zhou. "So you are slowing down until now?"
"Your Majesty, I came immediately when I was called!" Shao She smiled bitterly, "I just encountered some trouble on the road."
"I don't know what trouble Shao Aiqing was in?" Emperor Zhou raised his eyebrows and was angry. It was only the third day outside. When the imperial guards searched the streets, let alone humans, I'm afraid there wouldn't be even a ghost. And any invisible imperial guard dared to stop him, the prime minister, from here to question? He was in trouble on the road unless he met a ghost.
"Your Majesty personally enthroned the world's number one troublemaker!" Shao She smiled bitterly. If possible, he would rather not meet that person again in his life.
"When did I enthrone the title..." Emperor Zhou said this. His face suddenly changed drastically, and he asked in surprise, "You met..."
Shao She nodded and said, "It's the land, I'm in trouble!"
"Get up and talk!" Emperor Zhou said anxiously.
Shao Shuhuan was very puzzled. Who is the most troublemaker in the world? The way that his Majesty the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty could care so much is that he was afraid that it would be a common trouble?
To be continued...
