Emperor Zhengde of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 2
Soon, several Jinyi guards stepped forward, put a rope around Li Bao's head, tied him up firmly, and dragged him towards the door of Meridian.

"Your Majesty, please let me go, this old slave knows his mistake."

Immediately afterwards, there were several tragic pig cries outside the Meridian Gate.
At this time, Liu Jin beside Emperor Zhengde was also in a cold sweat from fright. He should not have given orders to Jin Yiwei just now, but it was already too late to regret it.

But Zhu Houzhao waved his hand and said, "Have you caught the assassin who assassinated me last night?"

Liu Jin tremblingly said: "Your Majesty, not yet, I will send more people to investigate!"

Zhu Houzhao glared at Liu Jin and said, "What a bunch of trash, forget it, I'll investigate this matter myself!"

"Speech that Cao Zhengchun, the governor of the East Factory, is here to see me!"

"According to the order."

After speaking, Zhu Houzhao turned and walked towards the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

The governor of the East Factory Cao Zhengchun's house.

He was stroking the mountain of gold in front of him.

"This is my savings for many years. Only power is the goal of my struggle. I want everyone in the world to know how powerful I am Cao Zhengchun."

There was a sly smile on the corner of his mouth.

In the entire Ming Dynasty, he and Yuhuatian had long been notorious.

At this time, there was a commotion outside the Ci Ning Palace.

"Empress Dowager, save me, save me!"

Li Bao was carried by several eunuchs, his body was tied up and his face was covered with blood.

The surrounding eunuchs also looked at each other distressedly. The head of the harem is a high-ranking and powerful person. Except for the empress dowager, who would dare to touch half a hair on his body?
Could it be? ? ?

There was an ominous omen cast over their faces.

You must know that for people like them, if any big changes happen in the palace, they may be buried at any time.

Some people dared to touch the chief executive, this is a slap in the face of the empress dowager, who the hell has such courage?
At this time, the Empress Dowager, the mother of Emperor Hongzhi, Zhou, was praying devoutly to God. She had just finished putting incense on her head, and before she finished kowtowing, she heard noises outside.

Someone called for help early in the morning, she felt that it must be unlucky.

After saluting, she turned around and walked over, sitting on a chair beside her.

"What happened outside? Find out quickly."

"Reporting to the Queen Mother, it was Mr. Li who was tied up and returned..."

"What else? I've been hesitating for a long time, so hurry up."

"The nose and ears were cut off, and the slaves who saw it were terrified."

"What? Who dares to touch him? Help Ai's family to take a look."

Hall of Mental Cultivation in the Forbidden City.

Zhu Houzhao sat on the dragon chair, full of youthful vigor.

"Eunuch Liu, has there been any urgent reports in the past month?"

"Qi Zuo Your Majesty, since Your Majesty took over the Great Reign, the world has been at peace, and the people live and work in peace and contentment."

Snapped!
Zhu Houzhao slapped one hand on the table fiercely, and the whole Hall of Mental Cultivation suddenly became silent, and a needle could be heard.

The guard eunuch Liu Jin was so frightened that his legs were shaking with chaff, and he hurriedly crawled to the ground and kowtowed.

"You actually deceived me when I was young, and only picked up nice words. I was assassinated last night and almost died. You actually said that the world is peaceful?"

"I think you can't become a talent if you don't fight!"

"Come on!"

"Your Majesty, spare your life! Your Majesty, spare your life! For the sake of serving you for many years, let this old slave be spared this time!"

Liu Jin trembled and kowtowed like garlic.

"Humph!"

Zhu Houzhao glared at Liu Jin. In fact, he felt that this slave was good, especially in his daily life, and he took good care of him.

"For the sake of serving me for so many years, I spare you this time. You should pay more attention in the future."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

At this time, Liu Jin was already sweating profusely from fright, and crawled there for a long time without getting up.

When is the day when the king is like a tiger, when is it really a head?
But what Zhu Houzhao didn't know was that Liu Jin, the eunuch, always relied on the emperor's name on weekdays to do all kinds of bad things outside, which was not ashamed by the people in the Forbidden City.

Seeing his pitiful appearance, Zhu Houzhao eased his expression, raised his head and said, "I ask you, is there any memorial for the cabinet? Is there any urgent government affairs in the court?"

Liu Jin crawled there, saying submissively: "Returning to Your Majesty, there is really no urgent government affairs recently. It is just that there are a few thieves in Jiayuguan on the northwest border of Ming Dynasty, and there are no other urgent military affairs."

Hearing this, Zhu Houzhao felt a little relieved. It seems that his father, Emperor Hongzhi, really has vision, and the generals he sent out can guard the country well.

"Well, get up and prepare to declare the dynasty!"

Liu Jin got up tremblingly, turned around and walked out the door.

By chance, Cao Zhengchun, the governor of Dongchang, came to see him.

Liu Jin turned around and said: "Your Majesty, Cao Zhengchun, the governor of the East Factory, wants to see you!"

"Xuan!"

"Here!"

Liu Jin walked out of the Hall of Mental Cultivation and signaled Cao Zhengchun to enter the hall.

In his eyes, no one will pay attention to him except the emperor.
