Zhu Zaijing walked outside and took a deep breath.
The smell of blood is on the tip of my nose.
"Where is Zhang Dali's hometown?"
"Back to Your Majesty, in Fujian!"
"The Jin Yiwei over there, protect his sister!"
The Jin Yiwei behind him asked in confusion, "Your Majesty, do you really believe what Zhang Dali said? Even if what he said is true, his family members should also sit together?"
Zhu Zaijing sneered.
"No man would tell lies when his life is at stake!"
"If he lied to me, it won't be too late to kill everyone!"
"Yes, I accept your order!"
The Jin Yiwei behind him retreated silently.
Zhu Zaijing looked at the starry sky. The sky in ancient times had high definition, unlike later generations, where there were only a few stars.
Looking up to the sky and sighing, Zhu Zaijing wanted to smoke a cigarette at this time.
When a man is confused and restless, there is no better calming agent than a cigarette.
Turning around and walking into the next room, there lay Zhu Xizhong with only one eye left, and Zhang Rong who was chatting with him.
After Zhu Zaijing received the news that Zhu Xizhong was injured, he rushed there in a hurry. He only brought a few Jinyi guards with him.
"I see your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty? I...participate...oh!"
Zhu Xizhong covered his injured eyes and wanted to salute, but Zhu Zaijing stepped forward to stop him.
"Lao Zhu, just lie down and have a good rest, don't torment yourself!"
"The British Lord, get up too!"
Li Shizhen had already seen Zhu Xizhong's injuries. He had encountered a series of accidents just after he went to work, and he was very tired today.
"Doctor Li said that the eyes are invisible, but fortunately it is not life-threatening!" Zhu Zaijing said, "The eyeball almost fell off!"
"Hahaha!" Zhu Xizhong said with a smile, "My old life is nothing. I have enjoyed the glory and wealth, and my family is happy. I have no regrets when I die!"
"You too! Why did you bite your tongue when you're already a grandpa? When I came to see you, your mouth was full of blood, and you almost drowned yourself!"
Zhang Rong on the side also laughed rarely.
"Your Majesty may not know that this old immortal has been so reckless since he was a child. On his wedding night, he almost broke his lifeblood!"
"The next day I walked like a crab!"
"Hahahaha!" Zhu Zaixing laughed from ear to ear!
"Zhang Rong, you uncle!" Zhu Xizhong blushed and said, "How are you better than me? You are 18 years old and still wet the bed! How many times did you get up early in the military camp and throw your wet clothes to me? Was it worn away?"
"It's okay! You don't mind!"
"I'm obviously very concerned about it!"
…
An unknown amount of time passed like this while talking and laughing. The three of them felt much better, and the sadness on their faces also dissipated a lot.
Zhu Zaijing looked at them and felt that his two right-hand men were completely close.
Through this series of events, Zhu Zaijing no longer doubted their loyalty.
At this time, Feng Bao came in from outside, holding a bottle of wine.
"Hey!" Zhu Zaijing stood up, "This wine comes just in time!"
"I've been feeling awkward just now. I always felt like I was missing something. It turns out I was missing wine!"
"Come on, let's all have a drink!"
Zhu Zaijing poured several bowls of wine himself and helped Zhu Xizhong to lie down so that he could drink too.
Several people clinked the bowls and drank them all in one go!
"It's great!" Zhu Zaijing slammed the bowl on the table.
Zhu Zaijing had not experienced this hearty feeling for a long time.
"I...cough cough cough!"
Feng Bao hurriedly stepped forward and patted Zhu Zaijing on the back.
"We, the monarchs and ministers, have worked together to overcome this difficulty today!"
Others nodded.
"Lao Zhu! The murderer has been found! The next step is to behead him!"
Zhu Xizhong had just woken up and stopped drinking.
"found it?"
"Yes, Li Yuan, the doctor in the Ministry of War! He was the one who ordered Zhang Dali!"
"Then send someone to arrest him quickly, Your Majesty! We can't let this guy escape!"
Zhang Rong said, "Don't worry! The palace has long been sealed off by His Majesty's order, and no one can escape!"
Zhu Zaijing also nodded, "Yes, there is no rush to arrest Li Yuan. Once Zhang Dali's confession comes out, it will not be too late to arrest him after getting his irrefutable evidence!"
"And I'm telling you!" Zhu Zaijing was like a child whispering to his friends, "Li Yuan's crime is even more serious!"
"With this crime, I can take the opportunity to cause trouble and clean up the capital camp, the nobles, and the military department! Burn all those moths!"
Zhu Xizhong and Zhang Rong are no longer as far away from Zhu Zaijing as before, and they are more relaxed when facing him.
"I just said that Your Majesty will definitely make the decision for my boss, hahahaha... Oops, it hurts!"
"That's for sure! My beloved general was almost stabbed to death. If I don't make the decision, who will?"
Feng Bao looked at Zhu Zaijing's red face and knew that his master had always been a heavy drinker, and he only had one bowl.
"My people!" Zhu Zaijing patted his chest, "My people will stand behind me even if the sky falls! Let alone offend a small circle of people, I will offend everyone in the world. I will protect him!"
Zhang Rong listened to the emperor's speech, and he knew that this man's words would not be false.
Today he really made the decision for Zhu Shitai, and Zhang Rong could really see how desperate he was for him.
He lowered his head, thinking that he was about to command the internal army and personally protect the emperor's son.
"Son! You are so lucky to meet such an emperor!"
Zhu Zaijing on the side was still talking.
"As long as my beloved generals live up to me, I will never let them down..."
At this time, a young eunuch came from outside.
"Your Majesty, godfather! You two adults!"
"What's wrong?" Feng Bao frowned.
"The news from the Admirals of the Nine Sects is that Pan Jixun, Lord Pan and Yang Shangshu, caught a group of suspicious people and found sabers on them!"
When he heard the word "saber", Zhu Zaijing's drunkenness disappeared immediately.
The man who was hunched over just now straightened up immediately, with a serious look on his face.
"Pass an order to bring the two adults and those bandits here!"
"Let the Jin Yiwei interrogate those bandits!"
"yes!"
After the little eunuch retreated, the drunkenness crept onto Zhu Zaijing's face again.
"I'm telling you, Lao Zhu! I care deeply about people..."
Feng Bao behind him shook his head and smiled.
…
As the end of the term approaches, it feels like the epidemic has reared its ugly head again.
I hope there won't be any surprises before I get home after the exam.
I also wish you good health and success in your studies and career!
