Wu Zheng gently spitted a tender bud into the bowl, and then said without raising his head, "No!"

"Why is this?" Wang Yi asked indignantly, "Your Majesty's safety concerns the court and the country. Now your Majesty's life and death are uncertain. As a minister, you should put Your Majesty's safety first... Is the prince trying to make irregular plans and covet the great treasure?"

I'm afraid that among the hundreds of people in the entire hall, this stubborn donkey dared to question Wu Zheng like this at this time.

The atmosphere became solemn. Qi Chenghao had already pressed his sword on his waist. As long as Wu Zhengyi showed signs, he would be ready to move at any time.

Wu Zheng did not move at all. He handed back the half-drink teacup in his hand to the eunuch, and dusted the dust that did not exist on his knees.

Then he answered the question illegitimately, "I am wondering, Your Majesty's life is life, but my life is not life? I was chased by the imperial guards for no reason. I finally escaped the danger. I also repelled the attack of nearly 40,000 Nikan at Dasheng Pass with 4,000 people, and defended Yifeng Gate for Yixingchao... You must understand that if it weren't for me, you might have been imprisoned by the Nikan at this time. But when you heard that I was in danger, no one came to ask why I was chased by the imperial guards, nor did anyone ask who was assigned by the imperial guards? Why do you think my life is as cheap as a grass?"

This sounded over the Fengtian Hall, the largest imperial city, and the only one who couldn't hear it was deaf.

However, no one can respond and dare to respond.

Wang Yi said a little embarrassedly: "I have just heard of the prince being chased by the imperial guards... I don't worry, as long as I rescue His Majesty, I will investigate and handle the case personally and will return the prince to justice."

"Oh... the censor is so sure?"

"Of course! This is the official's affairs, and I will never slackew or be favored."

"What if it was what Your Majesty did?" Wu Zheng asked lightly.

"This...this..." Wang Yi's face turned red. After "this" several times, he said something.

"How about you ruin your Majesty, come and sit on this dragon throne?"

With the help of Zheng San, Zhu Mu appeared at the side door of the hall and walked slowly.

It’s true that after Zhu Mei showed her face, the ministers who were wilted like frost and beat eggplant in the palace were all full of energy.

Zhou Lixun, the then Minister of Justice, came out and said: "Report to the Superintendent of the State, I want to impeach the Prince of Kuaiji..."

"Take it!" Wu Zheng spoke.

Qi Chenghao personally brought several soldiers and pressed Zhou Lixun to the ground.

Zhou Lixun's head was pressed tightly, and he struggled hard and shouted: "Wu Zheng... You traitor, in front of the main hall, in front of His Highness and the Dukes, dare you harm the important officials of the court?"

Everyone was silent and looked at Zhu Mai, hoping that His Highness the Superintendent would take charge of them.

Zhu Mei seemed to have not seen it or heard it, so she walked straight to her seat, and then sat down at the attention of the ministers.

"The prince, above the court, treat Mr. Zhou like this... is indecent!" Zhu Mai finally spoke.

Wu Zheng stood up and bowed, then walked towards Zhou Lixun, "You are just a minister of the Ministry of Justice. Regardless of whether you are an official or a title, I am far better than you. In front of me, I am an anvil, and I am a fish. However, if you have been treated unfairly, you can ask Your Highness to take the lead for you. That king was chased by the imperial guards all night, who will take the lead for me?"

Wu Zheng waved his hand, Qi Chenghao let go of Zhou Lixun. Zhou Lixun dared not speak out anymore and retreated.

Wu Zheng turned around and walked back, "I was chased, witnesses, physical evidence, and facts are there. The three departments of the Punishment Department and the Censorate were there, but no one said a fair word. Since no one is the master of this king, I have to make the master of this king."

While walking, Wu Zheng glanced left and right. Anyone who met Wu Zheng's eyes lowered his head and did not dare to meet Wu Zheng's eyes.

"Wu Zheng, I know you have suffered a grievance, but now Your Majesty is in peace... I will ask you to release the imperial guards immediately so that they can search and rescue Your Majesty." Zhu Ma said in a deep voice, her face was as ice as ice, and her tone was already filled with anger.

Wu Zheng walked back, then turned around and sat down without even answering.

“Bold!”

"presumptuous!"

These two sounds sounded almost at the same time, "bold" in front and "abusive" in the back.

Both of these sounds came from behind Wu Zheng because Wu Zheng was sitting facing the court officials.

Wu Zheng was slightly stunned, turned his head and looked at it, and smiled, "Your Highness scolded me for being bold, that's all, you, Zheng San, and a slaughter, dare to shout at me for being arrogant? Take it down!"

Qi Chenghao, who had not yet retreated, rushed towards Zheng San, and in front of Zhu Mai's face, dragged Zheng San down the steps and threw him in front of Wu Zheng.

Wu Zheng stepped on Zheng San's face and asked with a smile: "It seems that I was too soft-hearted when I let you live."

Zhu Moe behind him became anxious and said angrily: "Wu Zheng, you are so ungrateful!"

"I am so polite that I am used to some traitors!" Wu Zheng looked at Wang Yi, "My Censor, according to the law, what should Zheng San be disrespectful to me?"

Wang Yi was stunned. He could not have thought that Wu Zheng would ask him. He thought for a while and said, "Although Zheng San is an eunuch, he is the entourage of His Highness the Superintendent... I don't know if Zheng San scolded the prince and was instructed by His Highness, so I dare not convict him."

Wu Zheng laughed and said, "The Censor of the Humanitarian King is a straightforward person, and he never thought there would be a time to be slick."

Wang Yi's face turned red and he stopped talking.

Wu Zheng did not make things difficult for Wang Yi anymore, looked at Huang Daozhou and asked, "Chief Supervisor knows what crime should Zheng San be?"

Huang Daozhou became embarrassed. Although he was Wu Zheng's person, Wu Zheng told him that he had to keep a distance. He didn't know if this order was still effective at this time.

He pondered: "To deal with reason, if you want to punish Zheng San's crime, you must get the order of His Highness the Superintendent."

Wu Zheng smiled even more strongly and turned to Ma Shiying and said, "Listen, listen, people don't take our prince seriously... Fortunately, I said before that no one is the one who takes the lead for me, so I will take the lead for me...Ma Shiying, I asked you, if this is the general's mansion, what crime should Zheng San be?"

Ma Shiying was clever, and he smiled and said, "Be a whip."

"How many times?"

"Ten strokes."

"A little less?"

"Then the prince will decide for himself."

"May I?"

"The General's Mansion belongs to the prince, so why should we not be arbitrary?"

"That's good. But there is no whip in the palace."

"There is a court stick in the hall." Ma Shiying said so well.

Wu Zheng said with some regret: "Then just use the court stick to the general... twenty strokes."

Qi Chenghao overturned Zheng San, who was unable to scream, took the court stick from the soldiers and was about to be tortured.

Zhu Mai was really angry over there, "Wu Zheng, do you think this palace does not exist?"

Wu Zheng did not look back, but his face was already dark, "Thirty."

Thirty strokes, you can't kill you unless you really want Zheng San to die.

But after fighting, I'm afraid I'll have to lie down for a long time.
