"Okay, why not, but it's just such a small amount, I'm afraid it won't be enough for the two of us." Zhu Changwu curled his lips and said as he saw that there wasn't much food on the plate.
"Wang Daban..." Chongzhen looked stunned at first, and then shouted. Wang Chengen was waiting on him all the time, and naturally he heard these conversations word for word. He admired Zhu Changwu's casualness.
Even when he was King Xin, he never saw anyone who dared to talk to his master like this. This Zhu Changwu was really that one.
"Long live the Lord, I'm here. I'll ask someone to bring some more dinner." Wang Cheng'en was such a smart master. He didn't even wait for Chongzhen to give orders, so he took the initiative to say it.
Even though the Ming Dynasty was no longer alive, there were still a lot of people serving the emperor in the palace. After a while, new legs of lamb were brought up, and then Chongzhen and Zhu Changwu each took one and gnawed it.
By the way, Chongzhen did not usually eat like this. Not to mention how polite he was, an emperor should always behave like an emperor, and the same was true for eating.
But now, seeing Zhu Changwu stretching out his hands and chewing it with joy, he followed suit and stretched out his hands to grab the leg of lamb, biting it with his mouth. Not to mention, if he really ate it like this, he still felt very good. of.
Wang Chengen couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief when he saw that Chongzhen finally started to eat. As a eunuch, he had only one master and only one person he could rely on, and that was the emperor.
As long as the emperor is good, his ministers will also get better. From this point of view, he is really grateful for Zhu Changwu's appearance.
Under the leadership of Zhu Changwu, a total of three mutton legs were wiped out like a whirlwind. Wang Chengen brought a basin for Chongzhen and Zhu Changwu to clean their hands.
After his hands became extremely clean again, Chongzhen's expression soon became serious. Just now he followed the ancient saying that no words are spoken after eating and he didn't ask anything. Now that the meal was finished, it was time to say some things.
"Zhu Aiqing, what's going on with Duke Cheng?" Chongzhen's voice was calm, but it gave people the feeling that it could explode at any time.
Zhu Changwu is good and has solved the immediate crisis of the Ming Dynasty, but this cannot be the reason for him to kill the heroes casually. If this matter is not explained clearly, the civil and military officials of the whole dynasty will not agree, and it will be a problem for the generals to make trouble. big trouble.
Facing Chongzhen's question, Zhu Changwu said nothing. He just reached into his arms and took out several letters. He handed them to Chongzhen, and then he took the royal dental cord and started picking his teeth.
Before Zhu Changwu entered the palace, he first went to the Xuanwu Gate Tower. As expected, Zhang Yi had been waiting for him here long ago. After casually taking over the letters between Zhu Chunchen and Li Zicheng found in Chengguo's palace, he went straight to the palace.
Before leaving, Zhu Changwu ordered Zhang Yi and Sun Chuang, a member of Qianhu of the Jinyi Guards, to interrogate the eunuchs Cao Huachun, Wang Xiangyao and Zhang Yongyu who had been arrested during the day.
According to his point of view, when facing these scum, these masters who just put down the dishes and chopsticks and scold their mothers, there is no need for any politeness at all, just use whatever torture is available. It doesn't matter if you really beat someone to death, it's just a pile of garbage anyway.
Since it is garbage, it must be cleaned up sooner or later. Once it has no value, what is the use of keeping it?
After receiving Zhu Changwu's instructions, Zhang Yi knew what to do. After agreeing happily, he quickly left with Sun Chuang.
Not to mention what kind of torture Cao Huachun and the others are suffering now, Chongzhen in front of him first took the letter with doubts, and soon after opening it, his face turned livid with anger. If he looked carefully, even the beard on his mouth seemed to be... They all seemed to be trembling.
Chongzhen never expected that Zhu Chunchen, whom he trusted so much, would secretly collude with the intruders behind his back and betray Daming.
In the letter, Zhu Chunchen was extremely complimentary to Li Zicheng, and from time to time he would belittle himself, saying that he was an incompetent king, that he was stupid and immoral, that he killed meritorious officials and favored villains and treacherous officials.
If you put it this way, if you trust Zhu Chunchen, doesn't it mean that he is a villain and a traitor?
On the surface, it seemed that Zhu Changwu was picking his teeth, but in fact, he was looking at Chongzhen from the corner of his eye, and he was thinking with schadenfreude. With these letters as evidence, he should know that he made mistakes in hiring people.
As long as Chongzhen starts to deny himself, Zhu Changwu will show off next.
How many ministers are there in the capital, and how many heinous people are there among them?
If you kill them all, you can get a lot of system values, which is what Zhu Changwu needs.
"Your Majesty, I have said it a long time ago. I am from the future. I still remember some important events. This Zhu Chunchen is a great traitor. This matter has been defined in history books. I only took action after knowing about it. I will not kill him. Wrong person, don’t worry.”
Listening to Zhu Changwu saying that he learned about it from the future, Chongzhen was moved in his heart. Yes, this person can predict the future, so the people he killed should all be bad people.
Da da... While Zhu Changwu was still watching the excitement, some chaotic footsteps suddenly came from outside Jianji Hall.
Although the steps were as gentle as possible, Zhu Changwu still felt it very clearly. He couldn't help but look towards the gate of the palace. He didn't know who would come so late.
Zhu Changwu did not consider whether someone might be unfavorable to Chongzhen. Now that the intruders had been defeated, the main force was outside the city. Even if there were some spies in the capital, they did not have the courage to break into the palace at night. Do you really think these eunuchs are just decorations?
Of course, in front of Zhu Changwu, these eunuchs were really just decorations.
Under the gaze, three figures soon appeared outside the main hall, and then the little eunuchs standing at the door knelt down and saluted, saying hello to the Queen.
Needless to say, it was Queen Zhou who was supposed to be dead in the original history.
The person who came was none other than Queen Zhou, and she was not wearing any heavy phoenix crown. Perhaps because it was already dark outside, and she came to Jianji Hall, which was her own territory. In short, Queen Zhou was dressed very ordinary when she appeared.
But even if she wears ordinary clothes, she still can't hide her noble and refined temperament.
It gives the impression that at first glance, this woman is a rich and powerful person, and she is definitely not comparable to ordinary folk women.
Queen Zhou was followed by two people, a man on the left and a woman on the right.
The two are of similar age. The man is handsome and looks almost like Chongzhen. His eyes are clear. If you look closely, you can see sadness.
After estimating his age, Zhu Changwu thought that he should be the crown prince Zhu Cihong.
The woman is on the right, with hands like catkins and skin like cream. She holds Queen Zhou's arms tightly with both hands. She is full of autumn water, her lips are lightly parted, her eyebrows are slightly frowned, and her eyes are also worried, which makes her feel It has a sense of coolness.
Changping Princess Zhu Huinao?
Well, this should be the original form of the one-armed god in movies and TV series. But the difference was that with Zhu Changwu's timely arrival, her arms were still intact.
The three of them entered the inner hall and looked at Chongzhen who was sitting on the steps of Jinluan Hall with very unified eyes.
"Your Majesty." A soft call came from Queen Zhou, and then she saw concern in her eyes. Originally, she heard from the eunuch that Chongzhen had not eaten, so she wanted to bring her son and daughter over to persuade him. But when I really saw it, what I saw was the angry side of Chongzhen when he read the letters between Zhu Chunchen and Li Zicheng.
"Kill, should kill, should be cut into pieces!"
Suddenly Chongzhen roared like this. Thanks to his trust in Zhu Chunchen, he even wanted to hand over the crown prince to him after his death. But now it seems that this is simply a treacherous official. If he really did this , I am afraid that before his body is cold, this rebellious minister will sacrifice his son to Li Zicheng.
Thinking that he was so blind, thinking of the wrong people he had entrusted, and thinking that he had once again misemployed people, at this moment, Chongzhen was filled with guilt and hatred.
That is to say, Zhu Changwu chopped Zhu Chunchen in half. Otherwise, he would never let him go easily, and Ling Chi's punishment would not be an exaggeration.
"Your Majesty, I didn't kill the wrong person, did I?" Zhu Changwu's eyes only stayed on the three queens of Zhou for a moment. After hearing the roar full of murderous intent, he asked with a smile.
"The killing was not wrong, no, what Ai Qing did was to take advantage of this villain." Chongzhen said, and his words were full of anger and hatred towards Zhu Chunchen.
"Hehe." Zhu Changwu smiled. As long as he didn't kill the wrong person, he would be innocent in this matter. Next, he would think about who to kill next. Although he won a big victory this time in the battle in Beijing and gained a value of nearly 30,000, in his opinion, it was still not enough.
Just like a newly unlocked Dongfeng Warrior, one costs 5,000 points, and the more than 30,000 points simply cannot meet his needs.
Chongzhen was angry, and still very angry. But Zhu Changwu sitting next to him was smiling, very proudly.
The two people, whose reactions were completely different, formed a sharp contrast, and involuntarily focused the eyes of Queen Zhou and the three of them.
They didn't notice Zhu Changwu before, that's because they only had Chongzhen in their eyes. But now, this person spoke, and smiled without any scruples, without any consideration for Chongzhen's mood. This made it difficult for people not to pay attention.
The three of them looked at Zhu Changwu with curious eyes. He was wearing ordinary people's clothes and looked like a very young man. He was very heroic and handsome. They were certain that they had indeed never seen this person before.
Zhu Changwu was very young, so young that he was only a little older than the Crown Prince and Princess Changping.
But even though they were similar, they couldn't see a trace of the youthfulness that a teenager should have in Zhu Changwu. On the contrary, when he sat there and laughed, it looked a bit obscene no matter how you looked at it.
