"If I can help your majesty relieve his worries, I will be honored!" After saying this, Liu Sanwu took a deep breath and bowed with a firm look.

After he bowed, he did not stand up.

It was as if he had prepared to say these words from the beginning, and then waited for the young emperor Zhu Yunhuan to either agree or be furious.

Zhu Yunhuan lowered his eyes and looked at the old man kneeling on the ground. He was not angry, but instead showed an unexpected and enlightened smile.

Although he guessed the general situation at Zhan Hui's mansion.

But he didn't expect Liu Sanwu to be so brave... He came directly to ask him how he suppressed the Huaixi nobles before!

And the implication is that he is saying without reservation: You, the little emperor, are clever, but you rely on the nobles of Huaixi. You are no match for them, and you can't influence them...

If Zhu Yunhuan had a slightly worse character, his few brief words would have been no different from dancing in a minefield. If he didn't get a small package of nine clans, he would have at least executed his entire clan.

However, Zhu Yunhuan didn't care about anything.

A person gets angry and has a bad temper because others have touched upon his sore spots and exposed something he doesn't have.

But for Zhu Yunhuan.

On the contrary, he felt that... this old man was upright and was truly thinking about the Ming Dynasty, the Zhu Dynasty, and him as the monarch - even if it meant risking the wrath of him as the emperor or even risking his own death, he would still do his best.

Zhu Yunhuan smiled and nodded, thinking to himself, "No wonder those two old fellows, Zhan Hui and Fu Youwen, didn't dare to come. They are very smart and won't accompany you, Grand Secretary Liu, to your death."

Although Liu Sanwu did not stand up, he felt Zhu Yunhuan's gaze from top to bottom and felt the dead silence of the Qianqing Palace at the moment. For a moment, it seemed that even the slight sound coming from the stove next to him was deafening. In this Qianqing Palace that was as warm as spring, his hands and feet suddenly became cold for no reason.

Zhu Yunhuan's silence.

His heart, which had been hanging in the air, gradually sank, getting lower and lower.

Liu Sanwu couldn't wait for Zhu Yunhuan to say anything, and still knelt on the ground, but shouted at the top of his voice: "Your Majesty!!!" It was probably an attempt to make a last effort.

Of course.

He broke the silence.

But he heard a voice that made him tremble with fear: "How dare you!" The voice naturally came from Zhu Yunhuan, and he heard anger in it.

Even Ma Sanbao, who was standing nearby, was startled. He subconsciously pursed his lips and swallowed, frowning in confusion: "Huh? Your Majesty, what's going on... you were smiling so brightly just a moment ago, and suddenly...?"

He didn't understand his master's thoughts at all...

Liu Sanwu secretly closed his eyes, as if he had accepted his fate. His face was ashen, and his thin and withered hands that supported his body were trembling slightly.

"Your Majesty... is angry..."

Liu Sanwu thought with mixed feelings.

And he had already witnessed the methods and murderous nature of this Majesty - this time, it was likely that if the entire family was not executed, the execution would be immediate.

"Liu Sanwu, the President of the Hanlin Academy! You have spoken disobediently, usurped the imperial authority, and pried into the Emperor's private affairs without authorization. This is a grave crime!"

"Go!"

"Remove all your duties, send you back home, and confine yourself to reflect on your mistakes!"

"You are not allowed to leave unless you are summoned!"

Zhu Yunhuan did not say anything else. He directly pronounced the verdict on Liu Sanwu in a stern tone and suspended him from work for observation.

Was Zhu Yunhuan really angry about Liu Sanwu's behavior? Did he want to punish him? Of course not!

Zhu Yunhuan’s real purpose is to put on a complete show!

He wanted to let the Huaixi nobles guess!

because.

Fortunately, the nobles in Huaixi are now ready to make a move, whether it is the three people including Heqing Marquis Zhang Yi, or Lan Yu or others who are watching secretly... What they want to know most is Zhu Yunhuan's attitude!

Although Zhu Yunhuan did have the means to subdue the Huaixi nobles.

But the means are not ready yet, which means that Zhu Yunhuan does not have the conditions to overturn the table yet.
