"Wang Zhi! You sincerely want to go against me, right? Don't forget that everything you have was given to you by zhen. zhen can make you lose everything at any time!”
Zhu Jianshen's face was as red as a pig's liver. He had been holding back his anger because he had been schemed against by Wan Zhen 'er. It was not easy for Shang Ming to turn things around.
This Wang Zhi actually still dared to come and hold Long Xu. He was simply audacious!
To think that she had looked at him in a new light in the past, thinking that Wang Zhi was capable and a useful talent. Now, no matter how she looked at him, she hated him.
This was the heart of an emperor. Accompanying the emperor was like accompanying a tiger. No matter how well he did, if anything made the emperor unhappy, his head might fall to the ground.
Wang Zhi was scared out of his wits when he saw that Zhu Jianshen was really angry. He was not like Shang Ming, the old eunuch who practiced the Sunflower Manual. Although he had some martial arts, his main skills were concealment, reconnaissance, and intelligence gathering. If he was surrounded, he would not be able to escape.
However, he was already firmly tied to the line of Imperial Concubine Wan. They would rise and fall together.
If Wan Tong was taken down, he would not be far from death. At this moment, he could only grit his teeth and go on.
Bang bang bang!
Wang Zhi kowtowed three times loudly. His forehead was a bloody mess, and traces of blood stained his entire face. His silver hair was stained with blood, making him look like a miserable ghost.
"Your Majesty, this servant does not dare to disobey your words. I am absolutely loyal to you. But today, this servant has no choice but to offend Your Majesty."”
After all, he was a eunuch who had been with him for several years and had founded the West Hall together. Zhu Jianshen saw his disheveled hair and blood-stained appearance, and his anger subsided quite a bit. He flung his sleeves and grunted,""Speak!"
Wang Zhi was delighted. This act of self-sacrifice was worth it.
As long as the Emperor was still willing to listen to him, then there was still a chance to turn defeat into victory. What he was most afraid of was directly dragging him out and cutting him down.
Wang Zhi calmed down and organized his words in his mind. He took a deep breath and said,"Your Majesty, the Eastern and Western Embroidered Uniform Guards have always been owned by the royal family. They only listen to the orders of the Emperor. Although their official positions are not high, they have extraordinary power.”
After he explained the origin of the Embroidered Uniform Guards, he changed the topic and said,"However, the original intention of the two factories and one guard was to concentrate the power of the dynasty and collect all the information of the people, the imperial court, and foreign countries.”
"It can be said that the information of all the officials of the Ming Dynasty is in the two factories and one guard. In short, we have the information of nearly ten thousand officials of the Ming Dynasty.”
Zhu Jianshen narrowed his eyes slightly. What Wang Zhi said was the truth, and it was also something that everyone knew and understood.
However, due to the reputation of the royal family, they would never expose these words in public.
Was Wang Zhi trying to burn his bridges and use the excuse of having something on the officials to secretly threaten these officials to lean towards him and put pressure on him?
Zhu Jianshen narrowed his eyes and a killing intent shot out. If that was really the case, then the throne room would be stained with blood today!
He wanted the world to know that although he did not like to manage the government and was kind to the king, he was not weak and could be bullied!
Old Zhu's bloodline hid a natural ruthlessness!
Zhu Zhongba, the great ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, loved to exterminate families and skin people. His son, Zhu Di, also inherited his bloodline. The most famous one was to skin thousands of palace maids alive.
Even in Zhu Jianshen's generation, this kind of ruthlessness in their bloodline had long been silenced in peaceful times, but it did not mean that it did not exist!
Wang Zhi shuddered when he was swept by Zhu Jianshen's cold gaze, but he could only brace himself and continue,""Emperor, how can such an important organization that can even affect the country's turmoil be controlled by the young and impetuous Crown Prince who is not perfect in his conduct? If one day the Crown Prince saw some dark truth when he was reading through the intelligence, he would be hot-blooded and go to investigate in a moment of anger, then the Ming Dynasty would be in chaos!”
Zhu Jianshen's narrowed eyes suddenly shrank. He only wanted to take back the power of the Wan family, but he ignored the secrets hidden in the Jinyiwei.
When he was young, he followed his father to read the records of many officials. When he saw some disgraceful things, he wished that he could become a soldier and destroy the families of those beasts. Only by skinning them could he vent his anger.
It was only after he became the emperor that the passion gradually dissipated. He knew that there were some sins and some people who could only be beaten but could not be touched.
Once he moved, although it would not lead to the destruction of the country, it would inevitably lead to a great turmoil. The people would not be able to live in peace. It would be fine if he, the emperor, resolved it perfectly. A great merit would be remembered for hundreds of years. If he did not handle it well, he would be a sinner in history and go down in history for thousands of years.
Therefore, the Transformation Monarch who was not bold enough made a wise choice. As long as those people did not go too far, he would selectively ignore them.
However, even if the Crown Prince now had the mind of an adult, he was still a young man. The consequences of controlling the Embroidered Uniform Guards and seeing those things were unimaginable!
Zhu Jianshen closed his eyes and sighed deeply. For a moment, he was caught in a dilemma and did not know how to choose.
It was a eunuch's basic quality to observe the Emperor's expression. Seeing the change in the Emperor's expression, he was overjoyed. He gave a tacit look to Imperial Concubine Wan and nodded slightly.
He knelt on the ground and shouted,""This servant knows that I have offended the emperor and will die to absolve myself of the blame. If this servant's life can appease the emperor, then the emperor will chop off this servant's head.”
"I beg the emperor to retract his order!"
Wan Tong's mouth twitched when he saw this. It seemed that the outcome was already set. There was probably no harm in appearing now. He also knelt down and shouted.
The situation suddenly took a turn for the worse. The Crown Prince's faction, which was originally certain of victory, was suddenly counterattacked.
Seeing Wan Tong take the lead, the fence-sitters all knelt down like dominoes. In the blink of an eye, only a few of the dozens of officials were left standing.
"Emperor, please retract your order!"
"Emperor, please retract your order!"
......
Zhu Jianshen's expression was extremely ugly. If Wang Zhi hadn't reminded him, he would probably have directly beheaded all these people in anger. However, after thinking through that point, he didn't dare to take the risk.
At this moment, Zhu Moxie, who had been silent all this while, finally opened his mouth. His cold and indifferent voice echoed throughout the entire hall.
"Since you want to die, then die!”
