Wang Hao was a little angry when he saw Zhu Houzhao acting so aggressively. He thought Zhu Houzhao was his father, Emperor Hongzhi, and directly held his hands in his arms and said: "Since ancient times, all the saints have respected their teachers and valued their teachings. I hope your Majesty will treat his ministers with courtesy. If so, Your Majesty thinks that I am not a good teacher, so I will resign myself!”
"What I'm asking now is, which hand did you use to hit Yan Song!"
Zhu Houzhao took a step closer to Wang Hao and asked again.
Wang Hao didn't understand why Emperor Zhu Houzhao insisted on asking this. He thought that he was just a sixth-grade petty official, and not a powerful official. As a minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and as an emperor's teacher, even if he slapped him and taught him a lesson, it would be of no use. It was a sin, so he replied: "Your Majesty, you can ask Yan Siye yourself!"
Zhu Houzhao looked at Yan Song.
"Your Majesty! Please don't blame Shilang Wang. I was too stupid and didn't answer what I wanted. Shilang Wang thought that the Capital University was a place of deviance and treason, and a place of trouble. He said that I had deceived Your Majesty and did this foolish thing. ! I thought that Wang Shilang was right to beat me, but it was my incompetence that made Wang Shilang misunderstand that Your Majesty is a foolish king!"
When Yan Song said this, although he seemed to be pleading for Wang Hao, in fact, he was clearly telling Zhu Houzhao Wang Hao's intentions.
Zhu Houzhao naturally knew that Wang Hao wanted to intimidate himself by beating Yan Song, so as to force him to demolish the Capital University.
Because he was the teacher of the late emperor and his own teacher. Even if he beat Yan Song, logically, he could only choose to forgive him, or even punish Yan Song in order to take care of his face.
However, if he did this, Zhu Houzhao knew that Wang Hao would definitely think that he respected his mentor and relied on his elders, and would go even further, such as asking him to demolish the Capital University or something.
Therefore, when Wang Hao saw him, he directly emphasized that I am your teacher. He was undoubtedly telling Zhu Houzhao that I am your teacher and you must respect me!
But Zhu Houzhao naturally would not give Wang Hao a chance to control him. He still asked Wang Hao coldly: "Tell me, which hand hit you!"
Wang Hao still didn't answer.
At this time, Zhang Cong stood up. He knew that Zhu Houzhao wanted to use Yan Song's incident to assert his imperial power, so he replied: "Student, please report back to Your Majesty! Wang Shilang was hit with his right hand, and the student can see it clearly!"
< br>
"Guo Rong, chop off Wang Hao's right hand!"
As soon as Zhu Houzhao said this, Wang Hao couldn't help being shocked: "Your Majesty, I am your master, why did you cut off my arm because of a small official!"
Zhu Houzhao did not answer Wang Hao, but shouted: "I'll chop it off!"
"Yes!"
Guo Rong immediately ran over and chopped off Wang Hao's right arm at shoulder level with a swing of his knife. Immediately, the bloody right arm fell to the ground. Yan Hanlin and Zhuang Zhongyun were so frightened that they knelt on the ground on the spot: "Your Majesty, spare your life! No!" It’s none of our business!”
Wang Hao also screamed and fell to the ground unconscious on the spot.
Zhu Houzhao hurriedly ordered someone to splash cold water on him to wake him up. After being splashed with a basin of cold water, Wang Hao couldn't help but tremble, and then he howled loudly: "It hurts! It really hurts! Woohoo! Your Majesty, why do you treat him like this?" Lord!”
Wang Hao was crying and screaming. He completely lost the image of the elegant gentleman he used to be. He was in so much pain that he couldn't hold back his urine and even peeed out. A gurgling sound came from his official robe that was full of dirt. Then there was a foul odor.
"You, Wang Hao, are my subjects, and he, Yan Song, is also my subject. You are all officials of the imperial court. If a common man offends an official, he will be killed directly! The prince who breaks the law is guilty of the same crime as the common people! Although you, Wang Hao, are an official of the imperial court, you slapped Yan Song for no reason. , even Yan Song is my close minister, your behavior is even more deceiving! If I didn’t think you were the disciple of the late emperor, I would have taken your life!”
Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but take three steps back before scolding Wang Hao.
Wang Hao didn't expect that Zhu Houzhao actually found out the reason, and he didn't know what to answer for a moment. Of course, he was in so much pain that it was difficult to speak smoothly.
"Why, I don't want to kneel down. You are the leader of Confucianism, and you attach great importance to ethics and etiquette. How dare you deny me as your king and father?!"
Zhu Houzhao asked coldly. Wang Hao didn't want to kneel down. He had always been used to the feeling of being respected by scholars all over the world and by the emperor.
Now, he couldn't accept being asked to kneel before Zhu Houzhao, a fifteen-year-old young emperor, so he said: "Your Majesty, you can kill your ministers, but you cannot humiliate them. Please respect your teacher and teach him!"
< br>
"Forget it, in that case, I will first punish you for not acknowledging me as a king and father! Then I will honor you as a master and give you a posthumous title!"
As Zhu Houzhao spoke, he ordered: "Those who have no king and no father should be punished with death! Someone, take Wang Hao to the Jinyi Guard Prison and prepare for severe punishment!"
thump!
Wang Hao suddenly gritted his teeth and stood up. He endured the severe pain and knelt down: "I dare not deny my father! Your Majesty cannot use this as an excuse to punish me to death!"
"You know the truth! According to the decree, Wang Yao ignored the Holy Grace, had no father-in-law, and bullied me at a young age. This is really abominable. I wanted to kill him in order to uphold the order of the court, but after thinking that he was the emperor's master, he was temporarily demoted to Dongfan Island. The magistrate of Jilong County!”
Zhu Houzhao said.
"Jilong County, Your Majesty, there is no such county in the Ming Dynasty," Xia Yan replied.
When Wang Hao saw this, it was very difficult to accept: "Your Majesty, you demoted me to that miasma place, which is equivalent to letting me die in a foreign land with no one to collect my body. You might as well kill me now!"
"Don't you, Wang Hao, want to teach me how to be a wise king? You should first be a good official who governs the people and then come back and teach me!"
With that, Zhu Houzhao left the Capital University and said: "Preach the decree! In the future, any courtier who dares to come to the Capital University to cause trouble will be punished for disturbing the imperial palace!"
……
Wang Hao felt resentful in his heart, but he hated why Zhu Houzhao treated him like this, even though he was just one step away from joining the cabinet!
But Wang Hao himself did not expect to meet such a ruthless king, nor did he expect that Zhu Houzhao would have such a different temperament from before, but he could only accept his fate at this time!
On the day Wang Hao left the capital, Yang Tinghe and other Qingliu officials all shed tears to see him off, complaining about Wang Hao.
Wang Hao also sighed in tears to Yang Tinghe and other Qingliu officials: "I really didn't expect that your majesty would be like this now! It's because I am incompetent! I failed to teach your majesty well! Your majesty does not want to hold a sutra banquet and destroy the capital university, so I can only He remonstrated with death! But unexpectedly, he angered His Majesty and was chopped off, leaving him without his right arm. He was also demoted to a barbaric place like Dongfan, where he will die of old age in the future!
"The prince is not afraid of life and death and dares to offend Yan Zhijian. He is truly a loyal minister! Woohoo!"
Yang Tinghe and other Qingliu officials were greatly moved after hearing this.
Wang Hao was also deeply satisfied when he saw this. He said this, naturally hoping that some of these Qingliu officials would intercede for him and make Zhu Houzhao change his mind, and even force Zhu Houzhao to let him return to Beijing by signing a letter signed by everyone.
However, Wang Hao did not say it clearly here, but he gave Yang Tinghe a look, and he believed that Yang Tinghe could understand what he meant.
Wang Hao believed that he would come back, because the Qingliu officials could not live without him as a leader, and the Jiangnan gentry could not live without him as a leader in the court.
But Wang Hao also secretly vowed in his heart that the next time he returned to Beijing, he would let Emperor Zhu Houzhao know the power of Qingliu officials and the Jiangnan gentry behind them.
However, just a few days after Wang Hao left the capital, he met the Jin Yiwei. One of the Jin Yiwei Qianhu Liang Ze ordered: "Your Majesty has told you that Wang Hao has no repentance. When he left the capital, he actually slandered His Majesty with his words! He even deliberately provoked officials for his own benefit. The sinister nature of his intercession is really abominable! It can be seen that there is no point in banishing Dongfan, but it is only harmful to the people!"
"Ah! I, I just want to go back to the capital. Your Majesty, please forgive me! Your Majesty, please forgive me!"
Wang Hao did not expect that Zhu Houzhao would find out about him through Jin Yiwei so quickly, and he would kill him directly and ask for mercy, but it was too late. Jin Yiwei Qianhu Liang Ze's Xiuchun knife had already pierced Wang Hao's chest. chest.
