Chongzhen's open life

Chapter 215

The imperial study room was very bright, candles were lit all around, and the candles were burning slowly in the glass lampshade, and the fire light spread to the surroundings due to the reflection of the glass lampshade, illuminating the surroundings as brightly as day.

Zhu Youjian was sitting behind his desk, with his head slightly tilted to the side, supported by one hand, and the other hand was placed on the desk and tapped slightly, his eyes were half-closed, as if he was still asleep Wake up.

But if someone really thinks so, then he is dead!

The sleeping giant dragon is also a giant dragon, who came to take advantage of the dragon's nap, after all, the fight will not end well!

After all, dragons can wake up!
Once the dragon wakes up, no matter how much you took advantage of before, not only will you spit it out, but you may even take yourself in!

Wang Chengen cautiously opened the half-closed door of the Imperial Study Room slowly, and walked in lightly. Seeing that Zhu Youjian was still taking a nap, he didn't dare to make a sound, and stood aside with his hands tied, his eyebrows lowered and his eyes lowered, motionless. stand up.

Zhu Youjian's expression was serene, his moderate breathing sounded rhythmically, and occasionally he snored slightly, as if he was fast asleep.

But if someone observes carefully, they will find that when Wang Chengen came in just now, Zhu Youjian's straight sword eyebrows trembled slightly, but they quickly returned to normal.

In fact, Zhu Youjian didn't sleep at all, he was always awake, but because he just woke up, he hadn't fully recovered, so he squinted his eyes and took a rest.

As for his current cultivation level, he noticed that Wang Chengen and Wang Chengen had just arrived in front of the imperial study room, but he didn't move at all, and continued to take a nap as if he didn't know.

Although today Shi Fenglai is very sincere in taking Jing's plea, the intelligence from the secret guard just now also shows that Li Kuilong has a relationship with the Jurchen, and Shi Fenglai was completely implicated in the crime, and has no knowledge at all.

But Zhu Youjian was still very angry!
As an old man, he can't even control his subordinates, and even gets implicated by his subordinates. This is a sign of incompetence!
If he had the ability, he should have discovered Li Kuilong's involvement with the Jurchen as early as the first time, and then dealt with it, instead of causing trouble to the point where it can't end now!
So although Zhu Youjian was willing to give him a chance to explain, he was still very angry with him in his heart, so he still pretended to be asleep even though he knew they had reached the point, and continued to deliberately leave him alone.

He knew Wang Chengen very well, he would never easily disturb himself who was resting, and the result did not surprise him, Wang Chengen really did not intend to wake him up.

Zhu Youjian just pretended to be asleep and continued to rest.

The night is getting darker, the temperature outside has also dropped a lot, and half an hour has passed without knowing it.

"Ah~"

suddenly!

A groan sounded in the originally quiet imperial study room.

Zhu Youjian opened his "drowsy" eyes, stretched his arms long, and let out a groan.

After a while, Zhu Youjian finally felt completely comfortable, and then he slowly got up and turned to look at Wang Chengen, who was standing with his head bowed aside, and asked, "Wang Banban, what time is it now?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Chengen immediately replied: "Go back to the emperor, it is already six quarters of the midnight, and it will be the ugly hour in two quarters of an hour!"

Zhu Youjian secretly calculated that the midnight time was from eleven o'clock in the evening to one o'clock in the morning, and now it was six quarters of the midnight, that is, 12:30 in the evening, and the time had come to the middle of the night without knowing it!

"Well, it's almost time."

Zhu Youjian thought to himself and asked Fan: "Where's Shi Fenglai?"

Wang Chengen replied: "Go back to the emperor, half an hour ago, the slaves and servants have already been brought outside the door by two elders. If there is no accident, elder Shi should be waiting outside the door now, waiting for His Majesty to receive him."

"Oh! Is he still outside?"

Zhu Youjian asked suspiciously as if he didn't know.

Wang Chengen nodded, affirming his words.

Zhu Youjian immediately waved his hand and said: "How can this be done, after all, he is my second assistant, what if he gets sick by the night wind outside?
quick!Although Shi Fenglai has done something wrong, he has devoted himself to Daming for many years. If there is no credit, there is still hard work. I will not embarrass an octogenarian old man.

Let him in! "

"Yes!"

Wang Chengen responded, and then quickly walked out of the imperial study room to send a message.

Outside the Imperial Study Room, below the steps.

An old man stood there straight like a pine tree standing on a cliff, motionless!
But these are just appearances. If someone looks closely, they will find that the old man's body is trembling slightly. It is cold!
In the evening, it was the imperial city that came naked from the upper body and carried thorns.

Now entering the city, although the thorns have been removed, so as not to be used as a murder weapon.

But his upper body was still naked. The weather was about to turn autumn, and the wind at night was still very cold.

He, an old man in his tens of years, couldn't stand the bragging before, let alone bragging for half an hour at a time.

If someone dared to make him wait for such a long time on weekdays, he would have let the person who was not punctual be beaten into a cripple. Since these legs can't reach the agreed place at the exact time, then don't wait any longer. used!

It's useless anyway!
But the current Shi Fenglai doesn't dare to think and do this!

After all, it was His Majesty who let him dove.

Although their cabinet is the power center of the entire Ming Dynasty, they still have the right to refute the imperial edict.

But that's only down to business.

On other occasions, he even met the emperor in private.Especially now that the emperor, who has firmly grasped the military power, they still have no confidence in their hearts.

After all, the emperor with military power and the emperor without military power are completely two species.

One is that if you say it, it doesn't make any sense whether he listens or not, and it doesn't have to be him who makes the decision anyway!
But the other is that you said that if he doesn't listen, you can't do anything about him. If you provoke him in a hurry, your life will be in danger, and if he speaks, you'd better listen to him.

Otherwise, the consequences can be imagined!

After all, one is an emperor who can only think about it, but he can't do anything to you, and he has nothing to do if you don't listen to him.

But the other one is the emperor who can act and kill you directly when you are upset.

This is the difference between having military power and not having military power!
Finally, after nearly half an hour of cold wind, the door of the imperial study room, which had been silent for a long time, finally opened again.

Wang Chengen also appeared in Shi Fenglai's expectant eyes, came to the steps, looked down at Shi Fenglai who was looking forward to him, smiled and said: "Mr. Shi Ge, Your Majesty is awake. Mr. Xuan Ge, please go in." Master Ge, come in with us!"

Shi Fenglai was overjoyed after hearing this, finally!

After so long, I can finally see the emperor.

The fate of my Shi family coming down is in one fell swoop!

Thinking of this, Shi Fenglai's slightly trembling body stopped trembling, as if the cold wind was no longer enough to make him tremble.

In response, Shi Fenglai stepped up the steps with somewhat stiff steps.
