My wife is Invincible East

After witnessing Wan Zhen'er's methods today, he naturally realized how great Wan Zhen'er's influence in the court was.

She almost overshadowed the orthodox royal family, and many ministers were intimidated by Wan Zhen'er's tyranny and did not even dare to express their opinions.

I guess a big part of the reason is that Wan Zhen'er controlled two of the three major spy agencies of the Ming Dynasty.

The manager of the Jinyiwei was her younger brother, and Wang Zhi from the Western Factory was also in cahoots with the Jinyiwei.

The Jinyiwei was mainly responsible for arresting criminals, while the Western Factory was the largest intelligence agency, and they knew the privacy of almost all officials.

With the two factories joining forces, almost no one dares to face their edge.

If Wan Tong of the Embroidered Uniform Guard is sidelined and his own son takes control, the pressure on the East Factory will be greatly reduced, and the West Factory can continue to be suppressed. Presumably, those disloyal ministers will turn to the side of the prince again.

In just a few years, the prince had consolidated his position, and it was no longer easy for Wan Zhen'er to move against him.

Wang Zhi calculated countless times in his mind and guessed the emperor's intention in an instant. He was very anxious at the moment. If he didn't have Wantong's help, he would be killed by the old man Shang Ming sooner or later.

Damn it, this is the only last resort.

"Your Majesty! Absolutely not!"

He shouted loudly, interrupting Zhu Jianshen's thoughts.

Zhu Moye's lips curled up slightly, the final attack was finally coming.

Chapter 12 Big reversal!

"Wang Zhi! Are you really trying to go against me? Don't forget that everything you have is given by me. I can make you lose everything at any time!"

Zhu Jianshen's face turned purple with anger. He was originally furious because of Wan Zhen'er's plot against him, and it was only with great difficulty that Shang Ming turned the tables.

This Wang Zhi actually dared to come and support Longxu, he is so bold!

I used to look up to him and thought that Wang Zhi was capable and a useful talent, but now I hate him no matter how I look at him.

This is the heart of an emperor. Living with the emperor is like living with a tiger. No matter how well you do, if you do something that makes the emperor unhappy, you may lose your head.

When Wang Zhi saw that Zhu Jianshen was really angry, he was also scared out of his wits. He was not like Shang Ming, the old eunuch who practiced the Book of the Golden Flower. Although he had some martial arts skills, his main skills were hiding, investigating, spying, etc. If he was surrounded, he would not be able to escape.

However, he was already closely tied to Concubine Wan's lineage, and they would prosper and suffer together.

If Wantong was taken down, his death would not be far away, so he could only grit his teeth and fight on.

Bang bang bang!

Wang Zhi kowtowed three times with loud bangs. His forehead was bloody and his entire cheeks were stained with blood. Several strands of silver hair were stained with blood. He looked like a hideous evil ghost.

He wailed mournfully, "Your Majesty, I dare not disobey your words, and I am absolutely loyal to you. However, today, I have no choice but to offend Your Majesty."

After all, he had been with him for several years and had co-founded the Western Factory. Seeing his disheveled hair and blood-stained body, Zhu Jianshen's anger subsided a lot. He flicked his sleeves and groaned, "Speak!"

Wang Zhi was delighted, thinking that this self-torture trick was worth it.

As long as the emperor is still willing to listen to him, there is still a chance to turn defeat into victory. What he fears most is that he will be dragged out and beheaded.

A heavy weight lifted from his heart, and Wang Zhi calmed down. He mentally organized his words for a moment, took a deep breath, and said, "Your Majesty, the East Factory, West Factory, and Embroidered Uniform Guard have always belonged to the royal family and only answer to the command of Your Majesty. Although their official positions are not high, they carry extraordinary power."

After explaining the origins of the Jinyiwei, he changed the subject and said, "However, the original purpose of the two factories and one guard was to centralize power in the empire and collect all intelligence from the people, the court, and foreign countries."

"It can be said that the information of all the officials in the entire Ming Dynasty is in the two factories and one guard. In short, we have the leverage over nearly 10,000 officials of all ranks in the Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Jianshen narrowed his eyes slightly. What Wang Zhi said was all true, and it was also something that everyone knew and understood.

However, due to the royal family's reputation, these words would never be revealed in public.

Is Wang Zhi trying to burn his boats and secretly threaten these ministers to side with him on the grounds that he has leverage over them? Is this like putting pressure on himself?

A hint of murderous intent flashed in Zhu Jianshen's slightly narrowed eyes. If this was true, then the Golden Palace would be stained with blood today!

Let the world know that although Zhu Jianshen does not like to manage government affairs and is a benevolent monarch, he is not weak and can be bullied!

There is an innate brutality in the Zhu family's bloodline!

Zhu Yuanzhang, the first emperor of the Ming Dynasty, loved to confiscate property and exterminate clans, and he also committed large-scale skinning. His son, Zhu Di, the first emperor of the Ming Dynasty, also inherited his bloodline. The most famous thing he did was to skin alive thousands of palace maids.

Even by the generation of Zhu Jianshen, this kind of violence in his blood had long been dormant in peacetime, but it does not mean that it does not exist!

Wang Zhi shuddered at Zhu Jianshen's cold gaze, but he could only continue, "Your Majesty, how can such an important institution, one that could even influence national unrest, be left in the hands of a young, impulsive prince? If one day the prince, while browsing through intelligence, comes across some murky facts, becomes overheated, and impulsively investigates, chaos will ensue for the Ming Dynasty!"

Zhu Jianshen's slightly narrowed eyes suddenly shrank. He only wanted to take back the Wan family's power, but he ignored the secrets hidden in the Jinyiwei.

I remember when I was young, I followed my father to read the records of many ministers. When I saw some absurd things, I wanted to be a soldier to confiscate the property of those beasts and exterminate their families, and only by skinning them and pulling out their tendons could I relieve my anger.

It was not until he became emperor that the passion for revenge gradually dissipated. He realized that some crimes and some people could only be punished but not touched.

Once it is done, although the country will not be destroyed, there will inevitably be a great chaos and the people will suffer. If the emperor can solve the problem perfectly, it will be a great achievement and will be remembered forever. If he fails to handle it well, he will be a historical sinner and will be infamous for eternity.

Therefore, Emperor Chenghua, who lacked courage, made a wise choice. As long as those people did not go too far, he would selectively ignore them.

But even though the current prince has the mind of an adult, he is still a young man after all. If he controls the Jinyiwei and sees those things, the consequences will be unimaginable!

Zhu Jianshen closed his eyes and sighed deeply. He was in a dilemma for a moment and didn't know what to do.

Reading people's expressions is a basic quality for a eunuch. Seeing the change in the emperor's expression, he was overjoyed. He gave Concubine Wan a knowing look and nodded slightly.

He suddenly knelt on the ground with a thud, and shouted: "I know that I have offended the emperor, and I cannot escape the blame even if I die. If my life can make the emperor calm down, please chop off my head."

"I only beg Your Majesty to revoke your order!"

Seeing this, Wantong grinned. It seemed that the overall situation had been decided, so it would be okay for him to show up at this time. He also knelt down and shouted.

The situation suddenly took a turn for the worse, and the prince's faction, which had been sure of victory, was suddenly counterattacked.

Seeing that Wantong had taken the lead, the fence-sitters knelt down one after another like dominoes. In the blink of an eye, only a few of the dozens of ministers were left standing.

"Please, Your Majesty, take back your order!"

"Please, Your Majesty, take back your order!"

……

Zhu Jianshen's face was extremely ugly. If Wang Zhi hadn't pointed it out to him, he would have probably gone beheaded all these people in a rage. But after realizing that, he didn't dare to gamble.

When everyone was at a loss, Zhu Moye, who had been silent all this time, finally opened his mouth, and his indifferent and cold voice floated throughout the hall.

"Since you want to die, then die!"

Chapter 13: Killing in the court!

The extremely indifferent voice floated into Wang Zhi's ears.

The hint of murderous intent hidden in the cold words made Wang Zhi, whose hands were stained with blood, feel his scalp tingling.

Is this really the kind of emotion and murderous intent a little child can possess?

Could it be that he was really possessed by a demon?

Before Wang Zhi turned his gaze to Zhu Moye, his intuition told him that the Black and White Impermanence were waving at him.

boom!

A deafening roar suddenly rang out, piercing gold and shattering stone, drowning out all other sounds in the court.

In an instant, Wang Zhi's face turned pale, ashen, and a thick layer of fine sweat emerged from his pores. He felt cold all over, as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

run!

As a martial arts master, his body instinctively told him to run! Run quickly!

"Uh……"

Before he could even react, Wang Zhi felt a pain between his eyebrows, his consciousness was instantly shattered, his pupils gradually dilated, and he didn't even have time to scream, only a muffled groan came from his throat.

In the blink of an eye, a stream of blood-red liquid flowed out from between Wang Zhi's eyebrows, and his entire body fell to the ground with a bang.

A generation of martial arts hero, the governor of the Western Factory who dominated the Ming Dynasty, died in such an unclear manner.

Suddenly, the entire Golden Palace was in an uproar and filled with noise.

"This...what the hell is going on?"

"Yes, what exactly happened? Why did Eunuch Wang suddenly die?"

"Could it be that the prince is the legendary man of destiny, whose words are laws, and whoever he says should die must die?"

……

There was a lot of discussion in the court, just like a noisy vegetable market.

Because none of them saw clearly how Zhu Moye killed a martial arts master like Wang Zhi in an instant?

hidden weapon?

But there has to be a time to use hidden weapons, right? After the prince finished speaking, he didn't even raise his hand. There was a deafening bang, and then Wang Zhi's eyebrows burst into tears.

If such a hidden weapon really existed, it would be too terrifying.

And the most important point is that it is easy to hurt people with hidden weapons, but it is impossible to penetrate a person's hardest skull directly without deep internal strength.

The prince is only two or three years old. Even if he has been practicing martial arts since his mother's womb, it is impossible for him to have such skills, right?

People are afraid of unknown things.

After dozens of ministers discussed the matter without success, they fell silent and looked at Zhu Moye in awe.

They don't want to die in vain and go against the prince without even knowing how they died.

Even Wan Zhen'er and Zhu Jianshen looked frightened. The two people who were closest to him naturally felt how shocking the explosion was. After suppressing the horror in their hearts, they looked at him deeply.

"Eunuch Shang, go see if Eunuch Wang is still breathing."

Zhu Jian took a deep breath, frowned slightly, and gave the order in a deep voice.

"The slave obeys."

Shang Ming, however, looked unsurprised, as if he had seen the Crown Prince's trick before. After bowing, he walked over to Wang Zhi's body and, pretentiously, extended a finger and placed it in front of his nose. After a few seconds, he stood up and said, "Your Majesty, Wang Zhi is dead."

Zhu Jianshen frowned into a "川" shape. His son was really too impatient. He even dared to kill people in public to silence them. According to the law, even if the prince dared to be so lawless, he would be severely punished.

Isn't this obviously giving Wan Zhen'er an opportunity to target him?

"My dear, you've gone too far..."

Zhu Jianshen blamed him in a sullen voice.

"Where is the excess? Father, this eunuch asked for death of his own accord. As the Crown Prince, I naturally cannot bear to see my people suffer in this world. I am helping him to ascend to heaven sooner."

Zhu Moye chuckled repeatedly, and all he said was nonsense, but his face did not blush or his heart did not beat fast, and he did not show any panic at all.

Damn! This is such a shameless person!

Dozens of ministers complained in their hearts, but no one dared to be the first to say it out loud.

Wan Zhen'er's face turned as cold as ice, and she could no longer maintain that hypocritical smiling look.

The trusted general that he had worked so hard to promote was actually ruined by this damn kid.

This boy must die!

Otherwise, if he really took control of the Jinyiwei, he might be able to be worry-free for the time being, but the Wan family would no longer have a place to stand.

She immediately put on a sullen face and said in a cold voice, "Your Majesty, I take back what I just said. The Crown Prince is still too impulsive. He dared to kill people in front of Your Majesty in the court. If the Jinyiwei were to be handed over to him, there would be no peace in the Ming Dynasty!"

Zhu Jianshen narrowed his eyes and was at a loss for a moment.

Although the prince killed Wang Zhi, he not only vented his anger, but also resolved the crisis at the time, and frightened everyone so much that they dared not act rashly.

However, a greater crisis arose.

After all, this is a blatant slap in the face of Ming Dynasty laws!

Not to mention letting him continue to control the Jinyiwei, it would be difficult for him to even stop Wan Zhen'er's attack.

Zhu Jianshen closed his eyes and remained silent, thinking secretly in his heart.

At this time, Wang Zhi was dead, the Western Factory was leaderless, and the power of Concubine Wan was equivalent to having an arm cut off, becoming disabled. If she supported another confidant to take the position, she could also solve the problem of the Wan family's excessive power.

But how to protect the prince?

After thinking for a moment, Zhu Jianshen opened his eyes, looked directly into Zhu Moye's eyes, and secretly winked at him. He pretended to be angry and said, "The emperor who breaks the law is guilty of the same crime as the common people. My son, you have flouted the law and killed an official appointed by the court. Do you know your crime?"

Zhu Moye smiled slightly and uttered three words lightly:

"I! Am! Not! Guilty!"
