When Brother Jia Zheng entered the palace to plead guilty, Zhu Jinghong, who was already full of energy, was just bored in the palace.
The life of an underage prince is hard. He is surrounded by a bunch of eunuchs and has no one to talk to.
"Master Thirteen, the people you are looking for are here!"
Sitting up from the couch, Zhu Jinghong straightened his sleeves and replied, "Let them in!"
Within a few seconds, more than a dozen guards rushed over. They were all following Zhu Jinghong when he was attacked outside Yingtian City that day.
There were twenty-five people alive. Excluding those who were injured but had not yet recovered, there were only a dozen or so people in front of them who were alive and kicking.
"See Thirteenth Master!"
"Get up, this isn't the outside world, why bother being so polite!"
Zhu Jinghong behaved in an easy-going manner, but everyone knew that etiquette cannot be discarded, so they still performed it conscientiously.
With his hands behind his back, Zhu Jinghong slowly walked out and said, "When I came back yesterday, I was made to kneel for four hours. Do you know this?"
Although it had only been one day, the guards in the palace were well-informed, so how could they not know about it.
However, it was not unusual for Zhu Jinghong to be punished, and none of the guards, including the courtiers, took it seriously.
At this moment, Zhu Jinghong took the initiative to mention it, which surprised the guards present.
"Reply to the Thirteenth Master, I heard about it..." It was Hou Jing who answered.
After walking out of the main hall gate, Zhu Jinghong slowly walked down the steps and asked, "Do you know why I was punished?"
Faced with this problem, the guards were as confused as Zhu Jinghong before. How could they know what was going on.
After walking down the steps, Zhu Jinghong turned around and said slowly: "My father already knows the truth about Yingtian's attack!"
Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned.
They worked together to conceal the emperor's secrets. They thought they were flawless, but in the end the secret was revealed.
Everyone present looked shocked at this moment, and the joy of returning to Beijing to reunite with their families disappeared in an instant.
It is a serious crime to deceive the emperor. This is a serious crime to deceive the emperor. To be honest, it will lead to the destruction of the family.
Everyone looked solemn, and the courtyard was silent for a while.
"I will go to see the saint today and put all the blame on me. You don't have to worry too much!" Zhu Jinghong looked serious.
As the saying goes, a friend in need is a friend indeed, and this is a good time to win people's hearts.
"Thirteenth Master, this..."
Zhang Lin wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Zhu Jinghong with a wave of his hand.
Everyone listened attentively, and Zhu Jinghong said slowly: "There is only one purpose for calling you here. You go down and find out who wants to harm us!"
What he said was complete nonsense. In fact, the answer was already very obvious. Who else but Lao Liu would pick on these things.
Zhu Jinghong called people over today simply to build an image for himself and win people's hearts.
After giving these instructions, Zhu Jinghong was going to let everyone leave, but he saw Wang Jie from a hundred households walking out of the crowd and kneeling down in the center of the yard.
"Thirteenth Master, I am...I am not keeping my mouth shut!"
Zhu Jinghong and others were greatly surprised by Wang Jie's sudden appearance.
"Wang Jie, what are you doing? Why didn't you keep your mouth shut?"
Zhu Jinghong didn't want to believe his guess, while the other guards glared at Wang Jie as a traitor.
At the beginning, everyone swore a blood oath, agreeing to work together in times of trouble and never betray each other... Wang Jie's failure to keep his mouth shut was tantamount to betraying a group of brothers.
Wang Jie was so ashamed at this moment that he kowtowed his head to the ground because he had no face to see his brothers present.
Walking up to Wang Jie, Zhu Jinghong said with a serious look: "You and I are brothers in life and death. I know your character, Wang Jie, and you are definitely not a fool who talks nonsense. There must be something hidden in it!"
"If you have anything to say, just say it and we won't blame you!"
There were so many people present, but only Zhu Jinghong fully trusted him. Wang Cheng was deeply moved, and the passion for a scholar to die for his confidant instantly surged into Wang Jie's heart.
"Thirteenth Master, I brought my brothers back to the capital that day, and the next day I was summoned by the Holy One to inquire about the encirclement and suppression of the White Lotus Sect!"
"The Holy God is majestic. After repeated questioning, I accidentally said the wrong thing. In the end..."
In the end, of course, their deceptive tricks were revealed to the emperor.
"Get up, get up...it's not your fault!" Zhu Jinghong personally helped Wang Jie up.
Wang Jie was still ashamed, lowering his head and not daring to look at the crowd.
Looking at everyone present, Zhu Jinghong said: "The Holy Father is asking you to ask yourselves, can you respond comprehensively?"
It is extremely difficult to stay calm in front of the emperor, but also to lie without changing one's expression...
Everyone present knew that they were weighing a lot of money, so how could they dare to promise that they could deal with it comprehensively at this moment.
Seeing that no one answered, Zhu Jinghong continued: "It seems that everyone admits that you can't be better than Wang Jie!"
"In that case, you can't blame him. Do you agree?"
Seeing Zhu Jinghong's efforts to protect himself, Wang Jie became more and more moved, secretly thinking that such a talent is worth following.
"Speak clearly now if you have anything to say, and speak to me!" Zhu Jinghong said in a stern tone.
Lu Yuxin was the first to speak, with a solemn expression: "Thirteenth Master, you are right, Wang Baihu is not to blame for this!"
With him taking the lead, everyone else also changed their words and expressed their apologies to Wang Jie.
"It's my fault that I can't help you!"
Wang Jie still blamed himself a little, but instead asked other people at the scene to comfort him, and there was a lot of talking at the scene.
"alright!"
As soon as Zhu Jinghong spoke, everyone at the scene fell silent, and everyone's eyes glanced at him.
"I will handle this matter properly and no one is allowed to mention it again in the future!"
This was a very strong statement, and everyone present agreed. Who would want to mention this serious crime of decapitation?
Zhu Jinghong's image of being a tough protector of his subordinates and able to get things done at the same time once again became deeply rooted in the hearts of the guards.
Such a temperament makes people unconvinced, so everyone looked at him with a little more reverence at this moment.
"You all should go back. I should tidy up and go talk to the old man!" Zhu Jinghong patted his sleeves with a calm expression.
"Master Thirteen, this matter is important, you must handle it carefully!"
"Yes, the power of the Holy God is in front of you, if you are a little careless..."
Everyone was talking about Zhu Jinghong, but they were also concerned about their own destiny. After all, they were also involved in deceiving the emperor.
Zhu Jinghong is definitely fine as the emperor's biological son, but it's not necessarily true for people like them.
"Oh, there is no airtight wall in the world. We should do less of this kind of thing in the future!" Zhu Jinghong couldn't help but sigh.
Everyone was speechless. Do you want to do such a thing again? You are really not afraid of anything!
Thinking of this, everyone felt that it was pointless to continue talking, so they all said their goodbyes and left.
Watching everyone go away, Zhu Jinghong cleared his throat and said slowly: "What a trivial matter!"
This is not his exaggeration, but his judgment after analysis.
As long as the emperor still recognizes his son, the so-called crime of "deceiving the emperor" cannot be explicitly pursued, otherwise Zhu Jinghong will be deposed even if he does not die.
Whether he was punished to kneel yesterday or the Queen taught him a lesson alone, it meant that he could not be deposed.
In other words, this matter can only be suppressed, and Wang Jie, Hou Jing and others will not be held accountable.
When Zhu Jinghong called them here today, he made alarmist remarks just to win people's hearts.
Turning around and walking towards the dormitory, Zhu Jinghong whispered: "Through these few months, I have not changed the world, but it has been changed beyond recognition!"
