C12 Internal Incision
"Execute it immediately!" Zhu Houzhao's voice was as cold and emotionless as a cold spring!
"Yes sir!" Xue Rengui respectfully accepted the order and waved his hand at the same time. His two imperial guards dragged Yan Song's corpse and head out of the throne room.
"Liu Jin, order people to take Cao Jiaxiang and force him over!" Looking at how many ministers were trembling in fear and trepidation, Zhu Houzhao sneered in his heart and gave an order to Liu Jin at the same time.
"This old servant obeys the decree!" Liu Jin replied respectfully, then quietly went to the door of the throne room. She waved her hands, and two guards who were guarding outside hurried over.
"Boss!" The two of them clasped their fists and bowed.
"Yes, His Majesty has ordered us to capture the imperial food overseer, palm-print eunuch Cao Jixiang. If he disobeys our orders, we will kill him without question!" Liu Jin's sharp voice spread.
"Yes sir!" The guards agreed and led their men to the imperial food overseer!
And at that moment, the entire throne room was filled with discussions, while Zhu Houzhao was seated on the dragon throne with his eyes closed.
"Is this the anger of a new official?" Zhu Zheng whispered to Zhu Di, who was standing next to him.
"So what if that's the case? What more can he create?" Zhu Di laughed coldly.
"What do you think of this Da Ming Jiang Shan?" Zhu Zheng asked again.
"Naturally, those who are capable will have it. That year, big brother only picked up a bargain. Otherwise, it would not be his turn to be the emperor!" Naturally, Zhu Zheng and the others were unwilling to accept Zhu Houzhao's father. He had only ascended the throne because he was the eldest son, so Zhu Zheng and the other royal uncles in power were constantly recruiting for manpower in the land of feudal fiefdom, hoping that he would one day ascend to the throne of the Ancestor.
"This little emperor sure knows how to kill!" Zhu Che lowered his head and said to Zhu Xiu beside him.
"He does have a strong killing intent, but how many people in this court are his men when it comes to forging iron? After a period of time, he'll know that it's not that easy to be the emperor! " Zhu Xiu said with a smile and some ridicule.
"Your Majesty, I, Cao Jiaxiang, have arrived!" At this time, someone from the west factory brought Cao Jixiang over and said loudly.
"Bring him in!" Zhu Houzhao's voice was cold like ice. His eyes were filled with killing intent as he stared at Cao Jiaxiang.
"Pah!" Zhu Houzhao stood up and with a wave of his right hand, the imperial report about Cao Jixiang fell to the ground at his feet. He said word by word, "Take a look for yourself!"
"Your Majesty, your servant deserves to die!" Cao Jixiang quickly read the contents of the memorial. When he saw the bloodstains in the hall, he felt as if he had fallen into an icy cave. His body involuntarily trembled. Then, he knelt down and kowtowed in apology!
"You're just like a dog, you know that you deserve to die!" Zhu Houzhao arrived in front of Cao Jiaxiang at the fastest speed possible and swore as he took a step forward.
"Mercy, Your Majesty!" Cao Jixiang was kicked onto the ground. Without caring about the pain, he quickly got up and crawled towards Zhu Houzhao. Then, he hugged Zhu Houzhao's thighs and began to beg for mercy!
"You are originally a king's slave, yet you dare to do such a heartless thing. How can I forgive you?" How could the civil and military officials agree? How will the people who were killed by you agree? "
"If I spare you, how will I account to the people of the world?" Zhu Houzhao kicked out once again, this time hitting Cao Jiaxiang's head. In addition to Zhu Houzhao using his inner force, Cao Jiaxiang was sent flying.
"Pu!" With his head injured, Cao Jiaxiang spat out a mouthful of blood and begged for mercy. He crawled towards Zhu Houzhao again, but when he lowered his head, his eyes were filled with hatred.
"Speak, where are the stolen silver? Tell me and I will leave you a complete corpse. Otherwise, I will hack you into pieces!" Zhu Houzhao hated corrupt people the most, but Cao Jiaxiang had been a palm-print eunuch for many years, so he definitely had a large amount of silver taels in his possession. He must have that money!
"Your Majesty, this servant has said, can we bypass this servant?" Cao Jixiang raised his head and asked.
"What do you think?" Zhu Houzhao retorted with a question!
"Alright, Your Majesty. This servant will tell you!" There is a mezzanine within the imperial cuisine monitor's seal box. There is a silver coin stored inside, so His Majesty should send someone to retrieve it. " After Cao Jixiang finished speaking, his eyes were filled with madness.
Zhu Houzhao was alarmed. Not only did he see the hatred and madness in Cao Jiaxiang's eyes, he also felt the killing intent emanating from his body.
"Go to hell!" Cao Jixiang let out a loud roar and pulled out a dagger from his waist. With the strength of a second-rate pinnacle, he stabbed at Zhu Houzhao's lower abdomen.
"Your Majesty, be careful!"
"How dare you, thief?"
Some ministers saw Cao Jixiang's actions and were shocked. However, it was too late for them to rescue him, so they could only shout out a reminder.
On the other hand, Zhu Zheng and the other nine royal uncles all had hopeful gazes in their eyes. They were all filled with anticipation.
However, they were disappointed. How could Zhu Houzhao give Cao Jiaxiang a chance?
"Bang!"
Just as Cao Jiaxiang was about to pierce him, Zhu Houzhao circulated his inner Qi and injected it into his right leg. His entire demeanor changed as the might of panic spread out. Then, Zhu Houzhao ruthlessly sent a kick towards him.
Cao Jixiang's head burst open like a watermelon; the red and white objects splattered everywhere!
Seeing that Zhu Houzhao was actually not weak, the nine royal uncles had a different look in their eyes. In their memories, Zhu Houzhao was a person who did not know how to learn, neither did he learn, nor practice. How could he suddenly become so strong, this was something they could not understand!
"Take him down!" After killing Cao Jixiang, Zhu Houzhao pointed at the two men in front of him and coldly said, "After all, they are the ones who brought him here, but Cao Jixiang actually had a dagger with him. They are not doing things carefully, so Zhu Houzhao will never let this kind of person who made fun of Zhu Houzhao!"
"Pfft!" Hearing Zhu Houzhao's order, the two guards knew that they had to do it today. They drew their swords and slit their throats, not hesitating at all.
Seeing that the two bullies were dead, Liu Jin quickly kneeled down and begged for forgiveness.
"Forget it, he's already dead. As for the mastermind, I'll find him sooner or later and skin him alive!" Seeing that Liu Jin had apologized, Zhu Houzhao knew that there was no point in continuing the investigation. Thus, he coldly spoke and swept his eagle-like eyes across the hall.
Wherever Zhu Houzhao's gaze passed by, countless ministers lowered their heads, not daring to meet his gaze!
Only Zhu Zheng, Zhu Di, Zhu Zhang, and the other royal uncles looked at Zhu Houzhao without any hesitation. Doubt and provocation could be seen in their eyes.
"Pass down the decree that the king is to promote Gao Li as the imperial cuisine overseer, to become a handprint eunuch. He will be in charge of purchasing ingredients and other related matters within the palace!" Zhu Houzhao replied loudly.
Previously on the road, when he was chatting with Sande Zi, Zhu Hou's photo depicted a man named Goliath.
However, Zhu Houzhao did not see the man himself. Otherwise, he would have been able to determine whether or not he was the same man from history!
If so, he was a pretty good assistant!
At this moment, the hall became silent once again. In order to not let Liu Jin be punished for her negligence, she hurriedly went out to get someone to fetch the imperial lunch seal and the box.
