In the Qianqing Palace, he was promoted to a higher position... Of course, this was just a collaboration between the emperor and Hua Qiyi, purely talkative. Although the third and fourth princes were both princes, it was impossible for them to only see light and not darkness in their lives, especially when the third prince, the crown prince, ascended the throne in the future and held the power of life and death over millions of people. Sometimes he needed to kill decisively, but it was not urgent at this time and place.
However, seeing the yellow paper and basin delivered as ordered, the imperial attendant who had repeatedly shouted but received no response did not realize that he was just pretending, and he collapsed completely. Of course, he had received the most rigorous training, but that was for outsiders, not for the emperor.
Under the great pressure of the emperor, how could he bear the reputation of deceiving the emperor after his death? Moreover, he still remembered the extreme fear of being suffocated and approaching death when the official blocked his mouth and nose, and he never wanted to experience it again!
Therefore, before Hua Qi pasted the first piece of soaked paper on his face, he shouted at the top of his lungs: "It's really Eunuch Chu, definitely Eunuch Chu! I was ordered outside the office of the Imperial Household Department, and at that time I could still hear Eunuch Chu talking to someone in the office. The eunuch who came to deliver the message said that the emperor didn't want to see the Duke of Zhao's Mansion and the Duke of Qin's Mansion getting so close..."
"fart!"
This time, the furious Fourth Prince finally couldn't hold back. If the Third Prince hadn't turned his head and glared at him, he would have almost rushed over and attacked again: "Damn you, you bastard, how dare you criticize my father!"
Hearing these conversations, Zhang Chen wanted to shrink his head as low as possible so that no one could see him. It was good to catch a big fish, but catching Chu Kuan could at least avenge him for helping Zhu Ying find out about the Silijian, and being beaten by his father. However, the guy in front of him directly put the blame on the emperor, and claimed that the emperor couldn't stand the two dukes getting close...
This is simply life-threatening!
Compared to the Fourth Prince, who was furious, the Third Prince seemed relatively calm. However, Zhang Shou only needed to look at his eyes and the way his fists were clenched to know that the Crown Prince, who had enjoyed a good reputation among the court officials and lecturers since his enthronement, was obviously extremely angry.
At this moment, a voice came from outside the door: "Your Majesty, the officials from the Imperial Household Department have arrived."
Seeing that the imperial attendant had turned pale due to the scolding of the Fourth Prince, the Emperor, who was half-smiling, was now silent as a cicada and dared not utter a word. Zhang Shou sneered, Zhu Ying looked disdainful, and it was clear that they did not believe it. On the contrary, Zhang Chen seemed like a frightened quail, and was not as calm as the expressionless boy Ah Liu as always.
Therefore, he slowly returned to his seat and calmly ordered people to come in. Soon, Chu Kuan was seen leading the way, followed by the other seven eunuchs, and they entered one after another. Chu Kuan, who was at the head of the group, was wearing a robe that fit him perfectly in the past, but now it seemed a little too big, and for the first time, he seemed to live up to his name.
The others bowed their heads and looked respectful, but they also hid their expressions. Among the eight people in total, except for Chu Kuan who held the seal, the other three held the pens, and the remaining four were attendants. These were the real power holders above all the eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty. Although they seemed to be in charge of only the more than one hundred eunuchs in the inner palace, they actually had to include all the menial servants in the outer imperial city.
