Chapter 665: Huangmen Shilang Zhu Yunwen and Xiao Huangmen Zhu Qizhen
The Yunsu Palace suddenly fell into silence.
All officials knew that the Imperial Censor Zong Qinke had quietly joined Li Cunxi's army a few years ago.
Standing up and scolding the eunuch at this moment was not just for the sake of rules.
It was also to vent Li Cunxi's anger.
According to common sense, Xiao Huangmen should also know these rules and the factions among officials, but he insisted on letting Wu Sansi sign first. There must be some unknown fun in this.
After hearing what Zong Qinke said, the eunuch smiled sarcastically.
"As for the list of officials to attend the court, naturally, whoever I want to give it to can sign it."
"I am a subordinate of the Yellow Gate Minister. Can you still control me?"
Zong Qinke's face immediately turned gloomy.
He has been an official for so many years and is the only official who has embarrassed Li Cunxi in public without being targeted by Li Cunxi. Naturally, he has his own pride.
Provoked by the words of this little eunuch, he immediately became furious.
"In other words, without your permission, I don't even have the power to enter the palace to see the emperor?"
"Or is it that this is not your own idea, but the idea of your superior, the Imperial Court Minister Zhu Yunwen?"
The eunuch turned his face to the side and snorted softly.
He totally looked down on other people.
"Why do you address the Yellow Gate Minister by his name?"
"You really don't know how to behave."
"Besides, for such a small matter, does the Imperial Court Minister need to make the decision?"
"I, Zhu Qizhen, can make this decision myself!"
In the corner, Li Cunxi was stunned when he heard these two names.
Huangmen Shilang Zhu Yunwen, what a good name, it is exactly the same as the name of the second emperor of the Ming Dynasty who forced his uncle to death, imprisoned his younger brother, favored treacherous ministers and killed loyal and good people.
The name of that eunuch Zhu Qizhen is the same as that of the emperor in later generations who ruined the Ming Dynasty's national destiny for a hundred years, killed hundreds of thousands of soldiers, favored eunuchs, and took the throne from his own son.
The most important thing is that the surnames of these two people are exactly the same as those of two acquaintances of Li Cunxi.
Those two familiar faces were naturally Zhu Liren and Zhu Liji. The grass on their graves was probably several feet high now.
"Interesting, interesting. These two are from the Zhu family. Could they be relatives of Zhu Liren and Zhu Liji?"
Li Cunxi stroked his chin and thought to himself.
The eunuch Zhu Qizhen was very presumptuous. He mocked Zong Qinke while asking Wu Sansi's followers to sign.
"You are just an old thing, what do you think you can do to me?"
"If I'm in a good mood and let you sign your name, you can go in and see His Majesty. If I don't let you sign your name, you can knock your head here and die, but you will never see His Majesty."
"Hmph, I advise you to be polite to me. I, Zhu Qizhen, am also a relative of the emperor, so it's not wrong to call me Zhu Guoqi."
"And you, haha, are just an old man with half your neck buried in the earth!"
As soon as Zhu Qizhen finished speaking, he saw Zong Qinke directly raised the scepter.
"All the officials of the Censorate, beat this evil beast to death!"
"This evil creature has gained a little power, but he has learned from the corrupt officials to make things difficult for us. We must not let him off easily today!"
"Hit me!"
"After the fight, we will go to the court to report to the Imperial Court Minister Zhu Yunwen!"
"I want to see if the Yellow Gate Minister dares to stop us from going to court!"
Wu Sansiye had been anxious for a long time and was ready to send someone to stop Zhu Qizhen, fearing that Zhu Qizhen would cause some big disaster.
But just as the people he ordered were about to stop him, Zhu Qizhen started talking nonsense.
Now……
Zhu Qizhen has been kicked out of the circle.
Many officials of the Censorate were disciples of Wu Chengsi, including Zhou Bi, a disciple of Li Cunxi.
When they saw Li Cunxi and Wu Chengsi being insulted, they wanted to vent their anger on their behalf and kicked them with all their might. However, after only thirty or fifty kicks, Zhu Qizhen could no longer stand up.
Wu Sansi looked at Zhu Qizhen who was almost beaten to death, opened his mouth, but could not say anything.
I could only feel sorry for Zhu Qizhen silently in my heart.
"That's all, that's all. Just go and have peace of mind. I will take care of your wife and daughter."
"However, your daughter is only one year old. You should wait for her for thirteen years. When she is fourteen years old, you can take her as a concubine."
"I will take your wife as my concubine someday, raise her well for you, and try to give birth to a son for you."
Wu Sansi showed a compassionate expression and secretly made preparations to raise Zhu Qizhen's wife and daughter.
"I am truly a compassionate person."
"Zhu Qizhen, you must have died with peace of mind when you met a caring uncle like me."
After beating Zhu Qizhen, Zong Qinke felt much better. He sat back down and took a sip of tea.
Seeing that his subordinates were still beating Zhu Qizhen, he waved his hand and said:
"Alright, alright, don't beat him to death. Your Majesty will decide the matter of this evil fellow later."
"We don't want to be stained with blood. The Spring Festival is approaching, so it's better to be clean."
A group of censors stepped aside and nodded repeatedly.
"Your Excellency the Censor is right. That is exactly what we should do. There is no benefit in beating him to death."
"That's right, that's right. Let's find a place to sit for a while and leave this evil guy alone."
"Oh, I'm tired, let's take a rest."
Everyone sat down, completely ignoring Zhu Qizhen who had been beaten half to death.
Just then, someone else came in from the door. He was about six feet tall, with a body like a fat pig, an ordinary appearance, and obscene movements.
When he walked in, he found that Zhu Qizhen had been beaten half to death. He was immediately furious and looked around at everyone.
"You are so arrogant!"
"This Zhu Qizhen is a eunuch under this Minister, and he is also a royal relative. Instead of trying to please him, you deliberately beat him up. Do you really think that royal relatives don't have tempers?"
This scene is very familiar.
Friends who often attend court know that this scene has appeared more than once a long time ago.
Wu Sansi let out a breath and didn't intend to say anything more to help.
The deaths of Zhu Liren and Zhu Liji before him had contributed a lot of gold, silver and jewelry to him, as well as two beautiful wives and thirty or forty graceful concubines.
He even had several concubines a few years later.
Wu Sansi felt happy at the thought that in less than ten years, he would be able to eat mother-daughter rice bowl for a week straight.
Looking at the two idiots Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Qizhen, Wu Sansi wished that they would die quickly and leave their wives, concubines and daughters to him.
The Yellow Gate Minister Zhu Yunwen, also known as the fat pig man, squatted down and helped up the half-dead Yellow Gate Zhu Qizhen.
"How are you, Qi Zhen?"
The eunuch Zhu Qizhen opened his eyes weakly, full of resentment.
"They went too far and beat me up together."
"You have to avenge me!"
