Emperor Zhengde of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 48: 2 out of 1

Although the queen mother is the mother of the emperor, in this Ming Dynasty, there is still an emperor to call the shots, and they are not allowed to intervene in the harem.

The emperor's words were not only to tell the minister behind her, but also to tell her not to use your identity to oppress others.

"This is what Wang Helai from Shaozhan Shifu told Aijia."

"The queen mother, the one who supports the cabinet is me. The queen mother conveys a message for me and asks Wang He and others to prepare a good coffin."

Zhu Houzhao's eyes flashed with surging killing intent.

Seeing that Zhu Houzhao was so determined, the queen mother stopped persuading him.

Although his child is young, he has already shown himself to be a talented emperor.

Failing to persuade Zhu Houzhao, the Queen Mother could only leave the Hall of Mental Cultivation in despair. She knew that only such an emperor who was not deceived by slanderers was the real good emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

When Zhu Houzhao waited for the Queen Mother to leave, his face suddenly became much more serious, and he said solemnly: "Wang He, you are so bold! How dare you provoke the relationship between me and the Queen Mother!"

In the Cining Palace, Wang He Jing waited for the arrival of the Queen Mother.

The Empress Dowager went to the Hall of Mental Cultivation alone, and already had a stick of incense, and his heart was obviously relaxed a lot.

This time, the Queen Mother personally went into action. Compared to that, she must give the cabinet a heavy lesson. Let's see if they dare to be so presumptuous again.

But after the Empress Dowager came to the Cining Palace from the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Wang He bowed in anticipation and greeted her: "I respectfully welcome the Empress Dowager!"

The queen mother's face was gloomy, and she hurried past Wang He, as if she hadn't seen him at all.

Wang He was shocked when he saw this, and became more and more uneasy in his heart.

"I don't know if the queen mother went to ask her majesty what happened? Did the cabinet stop?"

When Wang He said this, the Queen Mother gave Wang He a cold look and said, "Your Majesty asks Ai Jia to tell you, go back and prepare a coffin by yourself!"

Hearing this, Wang He felt like the sky was falling!

"Let you go back and prepare the coffin. This is His Majesty's original words. There is nothing Aijia can do."

.....

Outside the Forbidden City.

Shao Zhan Shifu Wang He staggered to the East Factory like a corpse.

Along the way, he didn't know how he got down. When he appeared in the East Factory, the line of defense in his heart completely collapsed.

When the cabinet wanted to kill him, he could ask Yu Cao Zhengchun to rescue him, but it was really impossible, at least he could hide in the Dongchang for a while.

But now, the emperor wants him to die, can he not die?

"Godfather, godfather, save me!"

Wang He collapsed to the ground, crying bitterly.

But Cao Zhengchun saw many clues from his every move.

"What the **** is going on?" Cao Zhengchun asked coldly.

Wang Hejian told Cao Zhengchun what happened in the Forbidden City from beginning to end, with tears on his face as if he had been insulted.

Cao Zhengchun frowned, like ants in a hot pot, walking back and forth.

The last time the White Lotus Religion happened, he had already been imprisoned once. He knew the nature of the new emperor. In the future, at the most critical time, he should be alone and protect his family first.

Although the East-West Factory is His Majesty's trump card, the water inside is very deep, and it is difficult for ordinary people to understand.

Even before, he actually thought that the cabinet would kill so unscrupulously, and there must be His Majesty's support behind it.

Otherwise, the cabinet would not have slaughtered so many people in just one day. This should be the acquiescence of His Majesty.

"Godfather, godfather, what should we do now?"

Cao Zhengchun's face was solemn, and it seemed that he was not only trying to save them, but more importantly, he was trying to save himself.

The cabinet at this time is a knife in His Majesty's hand. If the knife is broken, it can be replaced, but if the corrupt officials are not eliminated, the Ming Dynasty will never have a peaceful day.

And he, although it is also a knife in His Majesty's hand, if it can hurt even his master, there is no point in keeping it.

In the face of right and wrong, Cao Zhengchun must make a wise choice.

In fact, it is to choose one of two, power, wealth.

After thinking for a long time, Cao Zhengchun seemed to have made up his mind.

"Come here, register all our family's money, jewelry, and property, and seal them all up."

"As ordered!"

At night, inside the Forbidden City.

Cao Zhengchun hurriedly walked towards the palace with boxes of goods pulled by a number of shopping carts.

Inside the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Cao Zhengchun rushed to the feet of the emperor in horror, and bowed to the ground: "Sinner Cao Zhengchun, I hereby apologize to Your Majesty!"

Zhu Houzhao heard the words, his eyes fixed on Cao Zhengchun, and he said softly: "Cao Aiqing, what crime did you commit? Why do you want to ask me for the crime?"

Cao Zhengchun bowed to the ground and said with tears on his face: "Your Majesty, this minister has failed your trust and the imperial court's trust,"

"The minister is willing to hand over all the silver taels that have been greedy for ink over the years to the imperial court. Please, Your Majesty, spare the life of the minister and convict the minister!"

After finishing speaking, Cao Zhengchun took out all the sorted accounts and presented them to the dragon table.

Zhu Houzhao was a little surprised when he heard this.

Zhu Houzhao naturally knew that Cao Zhengchun was greedy for Mo's money.

In fact, he didn't plan to attack Cao Zhengchun at all. He had his own plans. Cao Zhengchun's martial arts are very strong. If the iron daring marquis rebels in the future, this Cao Zhengchun will be the one who can be used.

Zhu Houzhao casually flipped through the accounts submitted by Cao Zhengchun without saying a word.

What he did not expect was that Cao Zhengchun actually took the initiative to account for his money when the cabinet acted this time.

But at this moment, Cao Zhengchun was very anxious. The new emperor is no better than the previous emperor. The so-called emperor and courtier, he has no idea where his future is?

Sweat dripped down Cao Zhengchun's cheeks to the ground.

Inside the hall, it seemed to be more and more quiet, and Cao Zhengchun's mood was also extremely nervous.

And Zhu Houzhao didn't pay attention to the change of Cao Zhengchun's face at this time~www.wuxiahere.com~ Although Cao Zhengchun said that he pleaded guilty on the surface, he was actually scared to death in his heart.

The reason why he wanted to give silver taels was to save money and eliminate disasters, to buy himself a life, to preserve his life and status, and not to worry about whether the money would go or not return.

Zhu Houzhao knew that the more greedy people are, the easier it is to control, not to mention, this Cao Zhengchun will be of great use to him in the future.

It can be said that Cao Zhengchun is not a knife in his hand, but a sharp sword, a sharp sword that can play a huge role at any time.

"Get up!"

The voice of the emperor sounded in the hall, and Cao Zhengchun let out a long sigh of relief as if he had been granted amnesty.

Don't look at how beautiful Cao Zhengchun is outside, but in front of His Majesty, he is willing to have no dignity.

When he stood up, the beads of sweat on his cheeks had already rained, and the loose gown was soaked through...

"Five million taels of silver, well, yes, that's a lot of money."

"However, for the sake of you serving the late emperor and me for many years, I will spare you this time, and I will give you a chance to reform."

"If there is another time, I will definitely kill you!"

Cao Zhengchun nodded again and again, and said tremblingly, "I thank Your Majesty for the grace of not killing today, and I must bear in mind His Majesty's teaching, and I will never commit it in the future!"

Cao Zhengchun bowed his body and retreated from the Hall of Mental Cultivation. He didn't let out a long breath until he left the Forbidden City.

Today, he did not hesitate to take out the money that he had accumulated in the family, and it was considered a life-threatening return. Although he was reluctant to give up, he did not regret it at all.

As for the officials under him, if they can protect them, they can protect them, but if they can't, there is nothing he can do.

If you don't have money to honor him, how can you save your life?
