Chapter 172: Fine wine for ink and wolf hair, die!
"Long live Lord, your servants and Eunuch Shu are all old men who have served you for more than 20 years. No one wants you to suffer the slightest injustice. But now, there are people who are secretly causing trouble and trying to drive a wedge between you and the court.
The relationship between Zhongwen and Wu also wants to destroy your image in the hearts of the people. Such treacherous and cruel people, slaves and maids also wish to eat their flesh and sleep on their skin. But now, the incident happened suddenly, and the other party is extremely cautious in doing things.
, every step is taken." Zhang Yong, the oldest, cleared his throat and said with a sad look on his face.
"The servants don't want anything to happen to Eunuch Shu, and they all want to serve Long Live Lord happily. However, in such a critical situation, Your Majesty has to make a decision, otherwise, what if those with ulterior motives will attach this matter to the
Even if all the slaves and maidservants on your body are dead, they still can't bear the burden of this sin."
After hearing this, Zhu Qiyu's face turned green and white. After a long while, he sighed and nodded. "You guys can do whatever you want. In addition, tell Shu Liang for me, I, I will one day ask for help for him."
Get justice!"
"Thank you, Lord Long Live, for treating us so kindly. Even if I die, I will never be able to repay Lord Long Live's kindness..." Zhang Yong and others could not help but burst into tears, but in their hearts, they all breathed a sigh of relief. At least, the Emperor
Shu Liang can deal with it rationally by docking his tail to survive, but the courtiers can only stare blankly even if they have doubts in their hearts.
As long as they can survive the crisis, they and others can still stand behind the emperor and dominate, and they can naturally continue to enjoy the rights they have just obtained. As for Shu Liang, he can only blame himself for being unlucky.
, happened to be plotted by someone and turned into cannon fodder.
In a word, it’s better if you are a dead Taoist friend and not a poor Taoist. If you don’t die and hinder our family and us old people from enjoying life, then you are the biggest sinner. If you don’t die, how can you calm down the public’s anger and how can you let the emperor regain his dignity?
Sit tight?
You must know that the prince is not a helpless man without a backing. His father, Zhu Qizhen, the emperor who abdicated the emperor for less than a year, is staying in the Xuan Mansion. Although he has been passed down as Zhu Qiyu,
Although he suffered a disastrous defeat at Tumubao and even had Wa Ci captured, even so, in the past half a year, Zhu Qizhen's prestige has not declined but increased. In just a few months, the entire Xuanfu border
Zhen, already as strong as his arm, the eyes of the ministers and the people of the world seemed to have never left his body.
In the court, those veterans of the original orthodox dynasty still held the main power, and they were another powerful supporter of the crown prince. In addition, in the Forbidden City, Emperor Xuan's empress, the current Empress Dowager Sun, was even more important to everyone.
A heavyweight that no one can or dare to ignore.
Even Zhu Qiyu can only do it secretly, and he has to be careful, for fear of being caught. With such a ratio and such a backstage, whoever dares to blatantly offend him is simply entering the hut with a lantern and seeking death.
The number of paths.

"This is impossible!" Li Bing, the censor of Youqiandu, looked at the confession with astonishment on his face and said in surprise.
"Is there anything impossible? Do you think that I am so dim-sighted that I don't even know what this confession is about?!" Wang Wen, the censor of Zuodu, rolled his eyelids and shouted in a deep voice angrily. "Three.
The heads of the three judicial divisions are all present, and they have been ordered by the emperor to try the case. Although Shu Liang wanted to quibble, he had no way of denying it. In addition, the emperor showed his power, how could he not plead guilty?!"
"The two have been feuding for many years because of their personal grudges in the past. The eunuch in charge of the Shangshan Supervisor wanted to poison Shu Liang. However, due to a mistake made by his confidant, he sent the poisoned food to Taiyi, causing the Taiyi's palace maids to taste it.
Two people died and two were injured after being given food. Zheng Yin was afraid of failure, so he took poison and committed suicide before the incident..." After reading this, Li Bing couldn't help but laugh in anger. "Is this the state of comfort? Mr. Wang, don't do it.
If you bully your subordinates, don't bully your country's civil and military officials. They think this is a joke."
"You! Li Bing." Wang Wen couldn't help but stand up and glared at Li Bing fiercely, as if he wanted to eat Li Bing alive. "Don't you know that this matter involves the Tian family?
Do you think you can really find out the reason for such a big thing like a collapse?" Wang Wen saw Li Bing's unmoved sneer, and couldn't help but sit back on his chair in frustration.
"Master Wang, this is not because the subordinate is making things difficult for you, but because of this, do you think that the subordinate does not understand your thoughts?" Li Bing looked at the old boss and couldn't help but show a trace of pity on his face. Wang
Wen was his old boss, and he was an upright and straightforward minister back then, but now, he was dazzled by power.
"What do you mean, Yuan Zhai?" After hearing Li Bing's words, Wang Wen couldn't help but cast a sharp look in his eyes, and his voice became colder and colder.
"Sir, Shu Liang is the emperor's confidant eunuch, and he is deeply favored by the emperor. If he can save his life, I think the emperor will be very happy." Li Bing didn't even look at Wang Wen's knife-like eyes, and he said
Gu Zidi said: "However, the Sanfa Division is under the heavy responsibility of the ministers in the court. It is to review the case clearly and clearly, rather than perfunctoryly. If so, where is the fairness of the San Fa Division?"
"Besides, my lord, even if you convince the lower officials today, how will you convince Dali Temple and the Sentence Department?" As Li Bing drank in a low voice, the fierce look on Wang Wen's face became helpless.
There was also a hint of shame.
"Sir, by doing this, you are not only committing injustice for yourself, but also committing injustice for the country's laws. Therefore, it's not that you don't do something when you are a lower-ranking official, but that you can't do it." Li Bing bowed deeply towards Wang Wen, and then turned towards him.
Walking outside, when he reached the door, Li Bing paused. "Sir, how important is the authority, can it be compared to the clear name after death? I hope you will be careful. I will go and invite officials from the other two departments.
, meet Shu Liang again."
"Wait a minute." Wang Wen, who had been sitting on the chair, took a deep breath and stood up. "Let's go, I will go with you."

"Liao Qianhu, why did you bring supper to our family so early today?" Shu Liang, who was sitting in the imperial prison, as comfortable as if he were sitting in a private hotel room, saw the Jin Yiwei who had been carefully serving him these past two days.
Liao Qianhu couldn't help but chuckle, and raised his hand to stroke his exceptionally neatly groomed temples. His high-pitched voice seemed particularly harsh in the dark prison.
"Haha, Eunuch Shu, we will see the beautiful moonlight at the end of the day. I am worried that Eunuch Shu will not have any wine to enjoy the moon. No, I have brought you two pots of fine wine and these plates of delicacies. I heard that your favorite is the braised lion.
Head." After saying this, Liao Qianhu gave out a few meaningful smiles and pointed at one of the dishes.
"When did our family..." Shu Liang raised his brows strangely, and paused mid-sentence. His eyes fell on the plate of braised lion head that was a delicious red color and fragrant, and his face couldn't help but turn slightly pale.
Seeing Shu Liang's face, Liao Qianhu's voice was so low that only the two of them could hear it: "Moreover, these are all handicrafts from the palace, brought to you by Tuomo from the palace, for you to enjoy...
…Don’t let down His Majesty’s hard work.”
Hearing this, the corners of Shu Liang's mouth couldn't help but twitch nervously, and the smile on his face was a bit uglier than the cry. "Are these for our family to enjoy?"
"Of course, Eunuch Shu, please use it yourself. Alas, by the way, I know that Eunuch Shu has always had the habit of composing poems after watching the moon and drinking. You see, even pen and paper are prepared for you here.
"Liao Qianhu smiled and took out a pen and ink, as well as a small inkstone from his arms. He unceremoniously picked up a pot of wine and poured a little of it into the inkstone. A small celadon bottle slipped from his sleeve.
On the table, the red silk stuffing looked extremely dazzling, so bright that Shu Liang felt as if he had seen a pool of dazzling blood, and shuddered involuntarily.
It took a long time before Shu Liang's hand grasped the small celadon bottle and held it tightly in his hand until his fingertips were extremely white. "What on earth is going on? Our family is not in good health."
"?" Shu Liang's voice was not high, but it was filled with sadness.
"Haha, I don't know much about it. I only know that if you are good, things in the palace will not be so good... Specifically, I have to ask you to taste these delicacies before you can know the secrets. This will be the case, General
Little people don't have such a blessing." Liao Qianhu's hands kept grinding the ink, and although the words in his mouth were gentle, they conveyed a cold death wish.
"These bastards!" Shu Liang couldn't help but swayed as he sat upright, and his voice became shriller. His desperate eyes fell on the food and wine placed on the small table, and Shu Liang took it with his hands like a madman.
He picked up a lion's head, opened it fiercely, looked at it, chewed it into his stomach, poured a glass of wine and drank it in one gulp, and said with a scornful smile: "Use the wine as the ink and the wolf's hair.
Take it as a joy in life. Liao Qianhu is really elegant, hahaha..."
"That's it, Eunuch Shu, please use it slowly. The ink has been prepared. I hope to see my father-in-law's masterpiece within a quarter of an hour... I will not disturb my father-in-law when you admire the moon." Liao Qianhu threw the half piece of ink on the
On the table, facing Shu Liang Yiji, who was still feasting, he turned around and walked out of the cell. With the sound of the heavy lock falling, Liao Qianhu did not leave, but stood there.
, turned around and looked through the small window, and saw that Shu Liang dug out a wax ball the size of a longan from a lion's head. After crushing it, he spread out a piece of paper. In just a short while, the gray-faced Shu Liang
He quickly tore the piece of paper into pieces, swallowed it, and drank several glasses of wine.
Then he picked up the pen and placed it gingerly on the rice paper that had been spread out.
"Fortunately, this old boy is sensible, otherwise we would have to work hard again." Seeing this scene, Liao Qianhu secretly breathed a sigh of relief and smiled softly at the two Jinyi guards guarding the door.
.The two royal guards also smiled in agreement with understanding.
Not long after, a muffled sound came from the cell, and then there was the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground...
