It was the third watch at night.
The lights in Yangxin Palace Hall where the Emperor lived were still lit.
Zhu Houzhao kept wiping the tip of the Taia sword, his eyes flashing with killing intent.
Eunuch Gao, who had served the late emperor, walked over slowly and whispered.
"Your Majesty."
"It's already late at night."
"Rest first."
"Take care of your dragon body."
Zhu Houzhao had a very good impression of this Eunuch Gao, and his tone was much friendlier.
"Eunuch Gao, you should go and rest first.”
"Zhen still has some things to do."
Eunuch Gao knew that he couldn't persuade this young emperor, so he tactfully walked behind Zhu Houzhao and massaged his shoulders.
"Your Majesty."
"West Hall Yu Huatian requests an audience."
Zhu Houzhao put down the Tai'a sword, and Eunuch Gao, who was behind him, also retreated to the side.
"Summon him in."
"Yes."
The young eunuch walked out of Yangxin Palace Hall's door. Not long after, Yu Huatian, who was dressed in night clothes, walked in.
"I am."
"Yu Huatian."
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
Zhu Houzhao looked at Yu Huatian, his handsome face expressionless.
"Get up."
"Is there a result for the matter that I asked you to do?”
Yu Huatian stood up and bowed.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"I have been ordered to investigate Liu Jin of the Rites and Music Drum Department and have come to report.”
"Because the matter is too serious."
"I am anxious to report this to Your Majesty.”
"That's why I'm wearing a night suit."
"Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
Zhu Houzhao slowly walked to the blue and white porcelain fish tank and picked up the fish food.
"Not guilty."
"Tell me, what did Liu Jin do to make a calm person like you lose your composure?”
Yu Huatian cupped his fists, his wrists trembling slightly.
"I saw Liu Jin and his henchmen drinking and making merry in the mansion, spouting nonsense.”
"He spoke arrogantly to His Majesty and was extremely rude.”
" Ignoring His Majesty's authority, and even…"
"Even…"
Zhu Houzhao was expressionless as he threw the fish food into the fish tank.
"Even what?"
"I…"
"I dare not say…"
The calmer Yu Huatian saw the Emperor, the more afraid he became. He swallowed back the words he wanted to say.
"Hmm?"
"Tell me."
"I forgive you."
Yu Huatian calmed himself down and gulped.
"It's even said that the emperor is young and doesn't interfere with political affairs.”
"Liu Jin has worked hard and served His Majesty for many years.”
"Your Majesty…"
"Your Majesty…"
As he spoke, he raised his head slightly and looked at Zhu Houzhao.
However, the latter still looked indifferent.
"What should I do?"
"Speak!"
Yu Huatian lowered his head again and spat out a few words in fear.
"They said…"
"We should let His Majesty respect Liu Jin as his second father and let him take charge of all the government affairs in the court.”
"He even said that Tian Zi is just a plaything in Liu Jin's hands.”
Yu Huatian mustered up his courage and recounted Liu Jin's crimes in one breath.
With that, he fell to his knees with a thud and his head hit the ground heavily.
The eunuchs and palace maids serving in Yangxin Palace fell to their knees with a thud, their bodies trembling uncontrollably.
"Please calm down, Your Majesty!"
The eunuchs of Yangxin Palace Hall shouted in unison, hoping to extinguish the Emperor's anger.
However, Zhu Houzhao was unmoved, his eyes emitting traces of killing intent.
"Are you telling the truth?"
Yu Huatian thought that the Emperor would be furious and take Liu Jin down.
It was so calm that it was hard to fathom.
It was more like the calm before the storm.
"What I said today."
"If there's even a single lie, thunder will strike the sky!”
As he spoke, Yu Huatian took out the Book of Impermanence and placed both hands above his head.
"Yes."
"You did a good job."
"It's late today."
"We'll talk about it tomorrow morning."
Although Yu Huatian heaved a sigh of relief in his heart, he knew that blood would probably be spilled on the spot during tomorrow's morning court session!
"I will obey."
Zhu Houzhao threw the last bit of fish food into the fish tank.
Suddenly, the fish tank exploded, and the exquisite blue and white porcelain fish tank shattered into pieces and scattered on the ground.
The koi fish inside were flopping on the ground.
Yu Huatian was shocked. Just by throwing the fish food into the fish tank, it could shatter the fish tank. It could be seen how strong his internal strength was.
Although all the martial arts in the world were in the royal family!
However, the Emperor was only fifteen years old, and he already had such internal strength. It was truly shocking.
He was afraid that even he would not be able to do that.
Yu Huatian no longer had any doubts about the current Emperor.
Although he was young, he had such shrewdness and deep internal energy.
He was the number one genius in the world!
With such a wise monarch in the Ming Dynasty, why worry about not being strong?
What he wanted to do was to turn the West Hall into a steel blade in the hands of His Majesty!
In the darkness, he would solve all the problems for the Emperor!
Yu Huatian bowed and left Yangxin Hall.
……
Hall
The fish tank exploded, and Eunuch Gao immediately sent people to clean up the wreckage.
Zhu Houzhao was still wiping the Tai'a sword, although he did not look angry.
However, killing intent surged in his heart.
Liu Jin.
He would meet the officials for the first time tomorrow.
I'll take you.
Establishing prestige!
……
It was the fifth watch.
The sky turned white.
Zhu Houzhao woke up early and began to wash up.
Today.
It was the first morning court session.
Zhu Houzhao followed the rules of etiquette.
The new emperor had to pay his respects to the empress dowager during his first morning court session.
Eunuch Gao was currently instructing two palace maids to help the Emperor change his clothes.
Zhu Houzhao was wearing a dragon robe, with twelve imperial streamers on his head. He was wearing golden silk cloud shoes, and the Taia Sword hung at his waist.
The aura of an emperor was displayed without a doubt!
Zhu Houzhao and the accompanying eunuchs walked towards the Palace of Earthly Tranquility.
He was afraid that his children would fight for the throne and kill each other.
The late emperor only married Empress Dowager Zhang in his life.
She was also the mother of the current Emperor Zheng De.
Empress Dowager Xiao Kang.
