Looking at Feng Bao's aggrieved look, Liu Shouyou felt as if he had taken a sip of cold water in the dog days of summer. That kind of comfort spread from the inside to the outside.
However, Liu Shouyou was not an idiot. His face was as usual.
He was happy, and he had to celebrate, but that was after this matter was done.
If his expression and inappropriate words angered Feng Bao, it would not be appropriate.
Liu Shouyou pondered for a moment and said, "The Minister Of The Crown entered the Forbidden City by mistake to close the case. This matter ends here."
Although Liu Shouyou did not say that it was Zhang Juzheng's intention, he did not deny it. There was no need to explain this kind of thing.
Feng Bao gasped and gritted his teeth. If this matter ended like this, it would not be enough to describe it as a strong start but a weak finish.
He had failed completely in this matter. Glancing at the Minister Of The Crown who was screaming, Feng Bao felt aggrieved in his heart.
What was supposed to be a foolproof matter turned out to be like this. It was just a small mistake, but it ended up like this.
At this time, Feng Bao also understood Zhang Juzheng's idea. He had been thinking about this for a long time. He had long wanted to make the Minister Of The Crown mute so that he could not speak.
The tripartite trial and finding out the truth were all Zhang Juzheng's calculations and conspiracies from the beginning to the end.
How could he think that he was so confident? How ironic! Although Liu Shouyou was expressionless, Feng Bao wanted to smash his face.
Feng Bao knew that countless people were waiting to see him make a fool of himself at this moment, including Liu Shouyou.
After a long while, Feng Bao calmed down and said in a low voice, "Then let's close the case!"
At this point, the Supreme Court, the Ministry of Justice, and the Imperial Censorate were absolutely in favor of this result.
Now it was Gao Gong, a civil official, who was involved. It was the best result to eliminate this matter.
He had lost all his face!
Feng Bao returned to the palace dejectedly. The news that the Minister Of The Crown had been poisoned into a mute had also spread, but no one dared to say it openly.
There was obviously something fishy going on in this matter, and no one wanted to get involved.
In the palace, Zhu Yijun naturally received the news as well. It was Zhang Jing who sent him the news.
Compared to Zhang Cheng, Zhang Jing was more ruthless, bold, and daring to gamble.
He didn't dare to talk to Queen Dowager Li. That was Feng Bao's battlefield. Not only would it be useless to talk to her, but it would also cause trouble for him. However, he dared to talk to the Emperor.
Zhang Jing had complained about Feng Bao countless times. In the past, it was just a small quarrel, but he found that the Emperor didn't say it at all and didn't stop him. Naturally, Zhang Jing understood the Emperor's intention.
Zhang Jing had never stopped gathering information about Feng Bao. At the same time, he made up his mind that when the Emperor took over the government, Feng Bao would die.
At this time, Zhu Yijun was feeding the fish. Beside him was a clever eunuch named Chen Ju, who was very liked by Zhu Yijun.
Because Zhu Yijun knew that Chen Ju would be a very loyal eunuch to the Wanli Emperor in the future.
Throwing the fish food into the water, watching the fish fight for food while listening to Zhang Jing's complaint, Zhu Yijun had no expression on his face.
Zhang Jing finished his complaint, but the Emperor didn't respond or speak. This made Zhang Jing a little hesitant. He secretly glanced at Zhu Yijun. Zhang Jing found that Zhu Yijun's face was calm, and there was an inexplicable feeling in his eyes.
"These fish are fighting over each other just for a mouthful of food. It would be great if humans were all so simple."
Zhu Yijun's words were very light, and his tone seemed relaxed, but Zhang Jing was overjoyed. He knew that the Emperor was dissatisfied with Feng Bao.
"The Old Slave thinks that the difference between people and fish is that they have self-awareness. They should know what they can eat, when they should eat, and when they shouldn't eat." Zhang Jing quickly said, "If they lose their duty, they are not as good as a fish."
"Well said, duty!" Zhu Yijun smiled and nodded. He reached out and handed the fish food box to Chen Ju next to him.
Turning around and taking a few steps back, Zhu Yijun looked at Zhang Jing and said with a smile, "People who know what duty is generally not too bad luck. I think God will love those who are sensible, just like the fish that I feed."
"You can only eat what I give you. If I don't give it to you, you'd better not reach out to take it. After all, some things will choke you to death."
Zhang Jing bowed his body. There was no expression on his face, but there was a flash of horror in his eyes, and his forehead was sweating.
Today's Emperor was different from every day. Although these words were vague, they were actually clear.
This was an appreciation for him, but it was also a warning to him. Was the Emperor going to make a move on Feng Bao?
This thought flashed in Zhang Jing's mind, but in the next second, he felt that it was impossible. After all, Feng Bao was not someone that the Emperor could make a move on!
Zhu Yijun didn't care what Zhang Jing thought. He just said, "Feng Bao should have gone to the Palace of Compassionate and Peaceful. You go there and wait until he comes out of the Palace of Compassionate and Peaceful. Tell him to come to the Palace of Heavenly Purity. I want to see him."
"The Old Slave will go now!"
Although Zhang Jing didn't know what Zhu Yijun was going to do, it was certainly not a good thing for Feng Bao.
If Feng Bao was unlucky, he would be happy. So, Zhang Jing walked briskly to find Feng Bao.
After returning to his bedroom, Zhu Yijun glanced at Chen Ju and said, "Ask someone to prepare some snacks. I'm a little hungry. Make some almond pastries. I want to eat almond pastries."
Chen Ju agreed and turned to the imperial kitchen to give orders.
When the snacks came, Zhu Yijun looked at them. There were six plates. Watching the palace maid set the plates, Zhu Yijun quietly put his hand into his sleeve.
He pulled out the stopper of the porcelain bottle in his sleeve and then reached for the snacks.
His sleeve swept over the snacks, and the powder in the sleeve fell on the snacks.
Zhu Yijun sat in the chair. Although his heart was about to jump out, the expression on his face didn't change at all.
For today, Zhu Yijun had prepared for a long time. He even pulled out the stopper and sprinkled the poison. Zhu Yijun had practiced many times.
It was just that he used flour before, but this time he used sodium cyanide.
In order to avoid accidents, Zhu Yijun even specially asked people to prepare almond pastries in order to cover the smell of sodium cyanide.
After waiting for about 15 minutes, Feng Bao came in from outside. Seeing Feng Bao coming in, Zhu Yijun said with a smile, "Feng Bao, come quickly. I've been waiting for you for a long time.
I heard that the assassination case has been solved. Tell me quickly. "
When Feng Bao heard the emperor's question, he suddenly felt a little bitter, but he still smiled.
"By the way, I can't just talk. I'm hungry. I'm eating snacks. Come, bring this plate of almond pastries to Feng Bao." Zhu Yijun smiled and said to the little eunuch beside him. The smile on his face was as usual.
"Feng Bao, you've worked hard. I can't bear it. Come, eat with me!"
