"It's okay, just try to save him."
After hearing this, Chongzhen did not blame him at all, but just said something lightly.
"Your Majesty, this subordinate has neglected his duty. I beg you to be punished."
He originally thought that Chongzhen would be unhappy, but he didn't expect that Chongzhen didn't blame himself. Zhu Si felt ashamed of His Majesty's trust in him, so he knelt on the ground and said.
"Get up, the other person is here to silence you. This Minister Xu is still breathing, which means you really tried your best."
"If I blame a minister who sincerely does something for me, then who else will dare to do something for me in the future?"
I am already very satisfied with Zhu Si Chongzhen, and I don't want to put too much pressure on him, which may cause bad results.
"Yes, Zhu Si will definitely share your Majesty's worries."
After Chongzhen finished speaking, Zhu Si was also flattered. He didn't expect that he was so valued.
"Go back and have a good rest today, explain everything, and go to Shandong to get things done. The position of deputy commander will be yours."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Chongzhen was left alone, looking at the sky with a sad face, always thinking about the possibility that Hu Yunqing said, that he would eventually end up hanging.
Chongzhen does not believe that anyone can predict the future. He is now working hard to prevent this possibility from happening. When the time comes, who will dare to destroy our Ming Dynasty if we have strong troops and horses?
For several days in a row, everyone was waiting for news here. Joining the army went to the agreed place to check for several days in a row, but none of his men came back.
"Joining the army, what on earth did you do?"
"They won't be caught, right? If they are caught, we will be passive. Assassinating a court official is no joke."
...
Those who had previously supported joining the army to kill the Minister of Household Affairs now had fear on their faces, and began to blame joining the army.
"Hey, are you mistaken? These people who are going to assassinate are all my people. It doesn't hurt your back to stand and talk!"
Joining the army found out that he was being blamed, so he stood up angrily and said.
"Okay, what will we do if your people are exposed?"
"Yes, who knows whether your men are reliable or not."
The sarcastic person came out again. Started to feel weird.
"You guys, huh, my men will never tell anyone. Besides, didn't Minister Xu not show up in the past few days? My men should have solved it."
Seeing these eccentric people, Zhang Jun was so angry that he stood up and refuted.
"Okay, it's useless to keep arguing like this. Go back and adjust your relationship and find out what happened."
Every time he came to discuss things, he would argue for an hour first, and the chief assistant was too lazy to care. He felt that the quarrel was already over, and ordered everyone.
Everyone said goodbye one after another and walked out of the house.
"Zhao Canjun, we would like to ask you to go back and have a chat."
Just after these ministers left the mansion, they saw a group of royal guards standing at the door as soon as they walked out of the gate.
"What do you want to do? I really thought you Jin Yiwei were lawless!"
Zhao Canjun was so frightened that his legs kept shaking, feeling that what he had done was exposed. He quickly retreated into the Shouxing Mansion.
As long as the chief assistant is here, these Jin Yiwei will not dare to arrest people casually.
"Zhao Canjun, I hope you can cooperate and not make it too ugly."
The leading Jinyiwei Baihu saw Zhao Shenjun's little move, and then smiled and said to him.
"Arrests!"
Hundreds of households from the Jin Yiwei came here on orders to arrest people and give orders directly to their subordinates.
"Who is the master of Jinyiwei?"
Just when Jin Yiwei ordered the arrest, a servant from the mansion came out, came to Jin Yiwei, looked at Baihu respectfully and asked.
"I am Wang Xiao from the Hundred Households of Jinyiwei."
The hundred households of Jinyiwei looked at the servant in front of them, knowing that this was the person sent by the chief minister, and said his name.
"Master Chief Assistant would like to invite you in for a chat."
"No need, tell Mr. Chief Assistant that I still have important things to do. I need to capture Zhao Canjun and go back for questioning."
Hearing that it was the chief assistant who was looking for him, Wang Xiao had beads of sweat on his forehead and said to the servant.
"Come here, capture Wang Canjun!"
"What are you doing! Let me go!"
He thought that the chief assistant sent someone out to protect him, but he didn't expect that he would be arrested.
"Sir Wang, our chief assistant has told you to go in and have a chat. After the chat, you can take him away."
After seeing Zhao Canjun being arrested, the servant said to Wang Xiao with a smile.
"Okay, please lead the way."
Wang Xiao watched Zhao Canjun being arrested. If he wanted to take him away, he would have to go in. He bowed to the servant and said.
"The Chief Assistant also said that you all should go back early and don't come to the house recently."
When taking Wang Xiao to the mansion, the servant walked to the door and looked at the ministers who were stunned and said.
"Let's go."
The cunning rabbit is dead and the lackey is cooking. Zhao Canjun is finished. There is no need for them to stay here. It is even more impossible to save Zhao Canjun. Even the chief assistant has given up.
"You little people!"
Zhao Canjun didn't expect that he was abandoned. He roared loudly at the fleeing ministers, and finally collapsed on the ground without any strength.
"Sir, people have brought it."
The servant took Wang Xiao into the living room, then exited the room, clearing away the people around the room.
"Are you the leader of the Jin Yiwei who came here today?"
The chief assistant was a little old and asked Wang Xiao feebly with his eyes closed.
"Yes, Wang Xiao, who holds a humble position as a member of the Royal Guards, pays homage to the chief minister."
Wang Xiao looked at the first assistant, swallowed nervously, and quickly saluted the first assistant.
"Well, I have worked in Jinyiwei for more than ten years and made many achievements, but now I am only a member of a hundred households. Are you willing?"
The first assistant slowly opened his eyes, looked at Wang Xiao and asked.
"Master Chief Assistant, I came here today just because I received a mission from above. I didn't mean to offend you."
When Wang Xiao heard that the chief assistant knew about him, he knelt on the ground and said with his head on the ground.
"Get up, Zhu Si is now a member of the Jinyi Guard Qianhu. He entered the Jinyi Guard later than you, and now he has climbed on top of you. I just want to ask you if you are willing?"
Looking at Wang Xiao kneeling on the ground, the chief assistant shook his head speechlessly and asked Wang Xiao again.
"There is nothing to be unwilling to do. I just have to do what I should do."
After listening to the words of the first assistant, it seemed as if a sharp blade was piercing Wang Xiao's heart. Wang Xiao clenched his fists. He wanted to say that he was not willing to give in, but he didn't know what the first assistant meant, so he could only endure it.
"Bullshit, then why are you spending money to smoothen the relationship with the palace? If you don't want to give in, you won't!"
Wang Xiao did not expect that the chief assistant's hands had already reached into the palace.
"What do you mean, Lord Chief Assistant? Please tell me!"
Wang Xiao is not a fool. Ever since he came in, the first assistant started asking him if he was willing to do it. It would be strange if he had nothing to say.
