Chapter 619: Murder
The appearance of this little eunuch is really a bit abrupt.
This father-in-law was named Wang Xi, and he came to make a "small mistake" after being ordered by Zhao Zhong.
In fact, this is the case in the palace. Where can I hide any secrets in the Forbidden City? The eunuchs are born as factory guards. If there is any slight disturbance, they are the most sensitive.
Wang Xi is Zhao Zhong's man and he usually respects Eunuch Zhao. For him, Eunuch Zhao has a greater influence on him than the nobles in the palace.
The reason is nothing more than that the nobles in the palace may punish eunuchs, but very few people actually beat the eunuchs to death. There may not be one such person in a few years. The eunuchs in the palace are also human beings, and it is reasonable to make some minor mistakes occasionally. Moreover, this eunuch is a private slave, and sometimes he doesn't know anything. For example, at this critical moment, Wang Xi brought in tea, which was indeed a taboo, but the original intention was to add tea to the emperor. It was just because he was confused. At most, he could punish him. It was easy to punish him.
, it was just to take it out and beat it, but who was the person who was executed? Or the eunuch? With Eunuch Zhao protects, who was blind eunuch dared to act seriously? So on the surface, it seemed like he had a flirting with flesh. In fact, after a few days, he was put on Baiyao and had nothing to do, and he was still lively. If he could be favored by Eunuch Zhao at this time, it would be really a smoke from the ancestral grave. As long as the arrangement was made, he could gain a foothold in the palace in a few years, with a vacancies and a few dozen people in charge of them, and his life would be leisurely.
These things actually correspond to the reason why the King of Hell is easy to mess with the little ghosts, not to mention that when I was a man of a magnanimity to the eunuch today, I was actually quite generous to the eunuch.
So Wang Xi brought the tea, although he was a little nervous, but there was a hint of joy. What he was happy about was that he finally had the opportunity to use Eunuch Zhao. He brought the tea in by himself. If he could ask about the one or two sentences of the emperor and his ministers, just a few words would be enough to benefit Eunuch Zhao. His future would be hopeful.
Wang Xi lowered his head, walked into the pavilion in a slight way, and whispered: "Your Majesty, I'm changing tea..."
He didn't dare to look up, but at this time, the eyes of the two people in the pavilion fell on him like lightning.
Hao Fenglou had no expression on his face. But what he showed in that expression was that he had expected you to come. Needless to say, Hao Fenglou had set up a suspicious array, but in fact he had already expected that the sensitive person was extremely sensitive. At the same time, he would definitely feel a strong uneasy towards Zhao Zhong, who was extremely afraid of him. Since he was uneasy, he would try his best to inquire. Wang Xi was Zhao Zhong's tool.
Hao Fenglou's eyes were full of indifference. Although Zhao Zhong was a tool, his words just now were actually a tool to some extent.
Thinking of this, Hao Fenglou couldn't help but smile. Zhao Zhong... was in the trap...
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Zhu Di's eyes immediately became a little angry from the initial slightest doubt.
Originally, it was understandable that the eunuchs in the palace made a mistake. Generally, Zhu Di pulled out the screening, and the eunuch was not allowed to enter the cabinet again because he was secretly discussing military affairs with the ministers, but the appearance of this eunuch who didn't know the matter was obviously confused. He was just confused. If Zhu Di was in a good mood, he would just go on his own and scold him. In a bad mood, he would just ask the general of the Han Dynasty to send a stick to beat dozens of sticks. Whether he could live depends on his luck.
But now...
A trace of meaning passed through Zhu Di's tiger's eyes, which was clearly meaningful behind it.
He glanced at Hao Fenglou.
Hao Fenglou looked at him.
The two of them had their eyes intertwined, and they both understood the deep meaning in each other's eyes.
If Hao Fenglou hadn't said that, hadn't said that someone in the palace colluded with people from the outside dynasty, and had no friends to be a traitor, Zhu Di might not have taken this small matter to heart, but with the previous preparations, Zhu Di's mind became different. At this critical moment, Wang Xi gave tea "in a confused manner" when he was discussing such a secret matter with Hao Fenglou. Is this intentional or unintentional?
Some things are the more you think about them, the more terrible they feel.
The simpler people often look at problems, and the more complicated people look at problems, the more complicated they look at problems. However, Zhu Di is not a simple person. He still smiles on his face and looks as if nothing is done, but he smiles at Wang Xi, "Come on, let it be here."
Wang Xi didn't know that in this moment, the emperor and Lord Hao looked at him with extremely cold eyes. There were countless murderous intents hidden behind the smile. He never looked up. When he heard Zhu Di's voice as if he was soaking in spring breeze, he felt happy. He thought to himself that His Majesty was in a good mood now and did not take this matter to heart.
When he came in just now, he vaguely heard something that had not been found and was too early to say something. He would inevitably go out later to seek credit with Eunuch Zhao. Although this was just a few words, with Eunuch Zhao's ability, he could find useful things from this fragment. Not only did he not have to suffer from flesh and blood, he made great contributions.
He hurried forward, changed the tea respectfully, and left with the cold tea.
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Zhu Di looked at Wang Xi's back as he left coldly, and couldn't help but smile with a meaningful smile.
Hao Fenglou also laughed dryly.
The two foxes, one and one small, both have their own plans.
Finally, Zhu Di picked up the hot tea, took a sip, and couldn't help frowning and said, "It's a bit astringent."
Hao Fenglou couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty's tea is very good, why is it awkward?"
Zhu Di shook his head and said, "Tea ingredients are good tea, but this person who makes tea may not be the case. Where did you say just now?"
Hao Fenglou said seriously: "In this temple, there are friends in the palace who are traitors and collude with each other. Although I have no evidence to investigate, there are still some clues. Your Majesty, I think this matter is not a minor matter. My ministers and private slaves in the palace form cliques to criticize political enemies and deceive superiors and subordinates. Your Majesty's every move is in their control. If this continues, it may be difficult to lose..."
Zhu Di looked at Hao Fenglou deeply and said, "So, according to what you said, what should I do?"
Hao Fenglou smiled and said, "You can only follow the clues and investigate thoroughly."
Zhu Di put down the teacup, but suddenly he gently hooked it with his fingers. The teacup tilted and splashed out. The hot tea water melted on the imperial desk, and the water droplets dripped to the ground.
"Then... just follow the clues..."
Hao Fenglou raised his hand and said, "I obey the order."
Zhu Di's expression became gentle, and water droplets splashed on his sleeves. He seemed to be unaware of it. He couldn't help but care for Hao Fenglou: "Hao Fenglou, you are just a newlywed, but you don't know the relationship between husband and wife, have you ever been close to each other?"
After talking about business, as a family member, it would be a bit unreasonable if you don’t talk a few private words.
In fact, Zhu Di didn't have the heart to think about the private affairs of the couple, but just felt that the Princess of Jing was her own "daughter" after all, and she seemed ruthless without asking a few words.
Hao Fenglou said, "Your Majesty, Your Highness, your princess, is a concubine... I dare not be simple and slow? He is not disrespectful. He has always respected each other."
This is a scene. Hao Fenglou is not stupid about his personal relationship with Ling'er. This is the word he and Ling'er had already figured out together, and they were specifically here to deal with Zong Ling's Mansion and the palace.
Zhu Di was like he finished a business, so he stopped asking more questions, and looked at him meaningfully and said, "You have to take good care of the child in her belly. If something goes wrong, it will ruin my big deal. Okay, you can step down."
Hao Fenglou felt strange in his heart. This was a big deal... Could it be that he used the wrong words? But now, his strategic goal has been achieved, and the palace has no intention of staying there. The most urgent task is to immediately carry out a strong countermeasure.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
After coming out of the palace, Hao Fenglou felt like he was seeing the light of heaven again.
He was a little aware of the cabinet's plan. When Xie Jin's conspiracy started, the step-by-step momentum really made Hao Fenglou breathless. Now... he had to tell those people that he was definitely not a fish that could be slaughtered. If he wanted to step on him ten thousand feet, he had to be prepared to be eaten alive.
This game... has just begun. Whoever wins to death depends on who can take the initiative.
Hao Fenglou couldn't help laughing, and suddenly felt that he was quite bad.
He raised his eyes and saw Wang Xi who was still serving outside the pavilion. Wang Xi was on duty. Although he received the "news", he certainly did not dare to leave his post without permission, so he was still waiting here obediently.
Seeing Hao Fenglou looking at him with a smile, Wang Xi's eyes dodged a little, not knowing what to do.
However, Hao Feng went upstairs and smiled and said, "What's your name?"
Wang Xi didn't dare to look at Hao Fenglou's eyes, but just lowered his head and said obediently: "I'm called Wang Xi."
Hao Fenglou nodded at him and said, "What a Wang Xi, the tea you made just now, Your Majesty likes it very much..."
