"What are you doing standing there, why don't you drag him out and beat him to death!"
Fei Zhen'e saw that the four royal guards in front of the palace gate did not take action, thinking that they were afraid of power, so she shouted again.
In fact, Fei Zhen'e mistakenly blamed these Jinyi guards, because although they were all loyal to Zhu Yuanzhang, they had never followed the orders of the harem.
Especially when the person who spoke was a palace maid, I couldn't help but hesitate, so I didn't go to capture Wu Weihua.
At this moment, when he heard Fei Zhen'e's fierce shouting and saw the anger in Zhou Hou's eyes, he immediately walked towards Wu Weihua like a wolf and a tiger.
When Wu Weihua saw the murderous Jin Yiwei, he could not remember the integrity of his ministers. He was so frightened that he begged for mercy: "Empress, the common people are loyal ministers, you..."
"ah!"
Before Wu Weihua could finish his words, he was captured by two Jinyi guards and let out a scream.
Then he twisted his body unwillingly, but how could his weak body escape the capture of the Jin Yiwei.
In desperation, he looked at Li Zushu again and shouted: "Linhuai..."
"Empress, you have always been kind and kind, and Supervisor Wu Weihua did not mean to offend Feng Jia. Please spare his life!"
Li Zushu didn't wait for Wu Weihua to finish, and hurriedly knelt down to plead with Empress Zhou for mercy. At the same time, he glanced at Wu Weihua dissatisfied.
It turned out that Li Zushu did not want to enter the palace at first, but because Xu Yunzhen and others could not confirm Zhu Yuanzhang's situation after several requests to see him, and the matter was urgent, he had to come forward.
However, although he had decided to enter the palace, he did not want to expose his identity and wanted to find someone to cover him.
But after some thought, he found that the people who entered the palace were either too cunning or too impulsive, and he failed to find a suitable person.
It happened that Wu Weihua came to him at this time. He thought that although Wu Weihua was a fool, he had some talents and was much better than Xue Lian, so he decided to make him a gunman.
Unexpectedly, this gun was so useless that not only did it not hurt the enemy, but it completely exposed him.
Although he felt hatred in his heart at this moment, he had to come forward to intercede, otherwise it would be easy to chill the hearts of others.
Then he thought that although Wu Weihua was just a prison student, he still had a reputation. Punishing him should be a matter for the previous dynasty, and Zhou Hou had no right to deal with it.
And he also knew that Zhou Hou had been the queen for more than ten years, and she had never done anything amazing. She only had a reputation for being gentle and virtuous.
And this good reputation also shows that Zhou Hou has little knowledge and has to compromise in everything to win such a reputation that seems to be virtuous but is actually incompetent.
Therefore, he concluded that at this moment Zhou Hou was just furious and wanted to kill Wu Weihua to vent his anger.
As long as he made this clear, Queen Zhou would not dare to act rashly, so she came forward to intercede.
But after he finished speaking, he didn't hear Zhou Hou's voice, and he couldn't help but feel a little confused.
He thought carefully about what he had just said, and felt that he had said everything he needed to express, and there was nothing rude about it, so he relaxed a little.
"If I don't forgive him today, I won't be merciful, right?"
Just as Li Zushu was thinking, Zhou Hou's cold voice suddenly sounded.
Li Zushu was stunned when he heard the words. He felt that Zhou Hou's words were very different from the previous rumors, and he couldn't help but feel a little confused.
But now that the situation was over, he had no choice but to move forward.
So he took a deep breath, tried his best to show respect and sincerity, kowtowed and apologized: "The Queen's reputation for virtuousness is known to the world, who dares to..."
"You just said it today!"
Before Li Zushu finished speaking, he was interrupted by Empress Zhou.
Seeing how tough Zhou Hou was, he felt that Zhu Yuanzhang was probably no longer in the capital, and he let go of his worries a little.
However, this matter was of great importance, and he had to confirm it clearly, so he looked at Xu Yunzhen, Zhu Guobi and others.
Seeing that Queen Zhou was angry, Xu and Zhu were still willing to speak, so they hurriedly looked down at the ground.
Li Zushu frowned slightly when he saw this, and finally gave Xue Lian a helpless look.
Xue Lian was originally a rough man and wanted to follow Li Zushu to do something big. At this moment, when he saw Li Zushu's signal, he immediately said loudly: "The Queen..."
"Marquis Yangwu, do you also think that I am unkind?"
Just when Xue Lian opened his mouth, Hou Zhou interrupted him sharply.
Xue Lian was stunned for a moment, then he pretended to be a direct minister and said loudly: "The Queen is unkind, I don't know, but Taizu..."
"How dare you slander the Queen!"
At this time, Fei Zhen'e shouted angrily and then stepped forward quickly, as if she wanted to hit Xue Lian.
However, she only took a few steps before she hurriedly knelt down and apologized to Empress Zhou.
When Queen Zhou saw this, she didn't scold her, but asked her to get up and step aside.
Fei Zhen'e was stunned when she heard this, and looked at Empress Zhou in surprise.
In fact, she was not impulsive just now. She just saw Xue Lian contradicting Empress Zhou and was worried that Empress Zhou would not be able to punish the courtiers due to the ancestral system, so she deliberately made a mistake and wanted Empress Zhou to punish her, so as to deter Xue Lian and others.
Seeing that Queen Zhou asked her to stand up, she was stunned for a moment.
"Xue Lian, Marquis of Yangwu, broke into the harem without permission. He roared that I was behind, and he had lost the courtesy of a minister. He dragged him out with a stick of thirty as a warning to others!"
Just when Fei Zhen'e was confused, Queen Zhou's cold voice sounded.
Everyone was shocked when they heard this.
"The Queen, Marquis Yangwu..."
"Ding Guo Gong Xu Yunzhen refuses to change despite repeated admonitions, twenty imperial staffs!"
Just when Xu Yunzhen opened his mouth, he heard the angry rebuke from Empress Zhou and couldn't help but frown.
"What, you don't accept it?"
Seeing that Xu Yunzhen was dissatisfied, Zhou Hou asked sharply.
Xu Yunzhen just wanted to show off, but he didn't know that he would also cause trouble with the imperial staff.
He was originally a timid and naughty man, but knowing that Empress Zhou was very angry at the moment, even if he killed him illegally, there would be no way to avenge him, so he had to kowtow to plead guilty and ask Li Zushu for help.
When Li Zushu asked Xue Lian to speak, he knew that it would anger Empress Zhou, but he thought that Empress Zhou would not dare to break the rules, and was trying to take the opportunity to suppress Empress Zhou's arrogance.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Hou unexpectedly went out of his way and ordered Xue Lian to be punished. This made him suspect that the matter was a trap set by Zhu Yuanzhang, otherwise Zhou Hou would never act like this with his personality.
In fact, Li Zushu misunderstood Zhu Yuanzhang this time, because this matter was really Zhou Hou's own idea.
It turns out that Zhou Hou was different from others when she was young. Although she was born in a poor family, she was discovered by a strange man who taught her practical knowledge of the world.
Therefore, although she comes from an ordinary family, her knowledge and knowledge are no worse than those of some noble ladies from noble families.
This is why she was just a poor woman, but she was able to win the respect of Chongzhen and handle all the affairs in the harem with ease.
Since Queen Zhou entered the Central Palace, she has always followed Queen Ma as an example.
Especially when she saw that the world was in chaos and Chongzhen was worried all day long, she hoped to follow Empress Ma's example and help Chongzhen revive the Ming Dynasty.
But what disappointed her was that although Chongzhen respected her and even gave in to her sometimes in the boudoir, he would not listen to her opinions at all when it came to government affairs.
In desperation, she could only do her duty as a queen and try to reduce the expenses of the harem as much as possible, which could be regarded as a side help to Chongzhen. Therefore, her reputation as a kind and virtuous person has always been spread in the court.
But today she saw that Li Zushu and others were aggressive, especially after she punished Shen Zhan, and they still refused to let go. She knew that even if she punished Fei Zhen'e again, she would not be able to suppress them.
Then he thought of Zhu Yuanzhang's hard work day and night, and these people not only did not share the emperor's worries, but also harbored evil intentions, and he couldn't help but have murderous intentions.
However, she also knew that this group of people had special identities and intricate relationships. She could only divide them up first and then deal with them one by one, so she punished whoever showed up.
"The Queen..."
"Linhuai Marquis Li Zushu made rude remarks and offended this palace. I will receive twenty imperial staffs!"
After Li Zushu hesitated for a while, he just opened his mouth and was punished by Zhou Hou.
"The Queen..."
"Tingzhang forty!"
Li Zushu was unwilling to give up and wanted to defend himself, but unfortunately Zhou Hou did not give him a chance and doubled the imperial staff.
At this time, everyone knew Zhou Hou's determination, but no one dared to take the lead anymore.
Empress Zhou glanced at everyone coldly, and when no one spoke again, she said in a deep voice: "The eunuchs on duty at the palace gate have neglected their duties. Regardless of their position, they will all be killed with a cane as a warning to others!"
As soon as Zhou Hou said this, Xu Yunzhen and others all turned pale, but Li Zushu showed a smile.
