Shocking news: The fifth-milk baby rides a ferocious beast and blows up the palace of Zha Daddy.

Helpless, the emperor was so angry at this time that he didn't listen to the personal eunuch's advice at all. He picked up a pen and wrote an imperial edict, asking the personal eunuch to bring it to Zhao Shangshu and ask him to go to prison to release him.

The personal eunuch was speechless: "..."

Is the emperor too impulsive?

Just with the captain's words, the murderer was released?

Does the emperor really not care about the consequences?

However, as the saying goes, accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger, not to mention that he is just a slave and can only give a few words, but not much.

Otherwise, if you anger the emperor, you will easily die.

When the emperor saw that the eunuch was in a daze, he got angry. He glared and cursed...

"Why are you still standing there? Why don't you hurry up and send the edict to the Chancellor's Mansion?"

"This slave obeys the decree." The personal eunuch was scolded by the emperor and became timid. He quickly took the imperial edict, turned around and hurried away.

Shangshu Mansion.

On this day, as usual, Zhao Shangshu was preparing to go to the government office after breakfast. At this moment, the concierge hurried into the hall to report...

"Master, the father-in-law from the palace is here. He said he came with the emperor's imperial edict. You should quickly take a bath and change clothes to receive the edict."

When Zhao Shangshu heard this, he did not dare to be negligent. After bathing and changing clothes, he led the whole family to the gate and knelt down to receive the imperial edict.

But when the personal eunuch read out the content of the imperial edict, everyone present was dumbfounded.

Damn, what happened?

Why does the emperor want to protect the murderer?

Zhao Shangshu knelt on the ground, dug his ears, looked up at the personal eunuch, and asked doubtfully: "No, father-in-law, did I hear correctly? The emperor wants to let Master Huo go?"

The personal eunuch nodded helplessly and said in a sharp voice...

"Sir, please accept the order."

The Taiwei took advantage of the struggle between the Emperor and Prince Zhan to deliberately provoke the Emperor. Now that the Emperor is angry, what can he do?

Zhao Shangshu had no choice but to raise his hands to accept the imperial edict, lay on the ground, and said...

"The humble minister accepts the order, long live the emperor."

After the personal eunuch announced the imperial edict, he followed the old rules and stayed to eat and drink. Then, with his arms full of banknotes and toothpicks in his mouth, he left the Shangshu Mansion with satisfaction.

Therefore, being the emperor's personal eunuch is a good job. Whenever he goes out of the palace to declare the imperial edict, he can eat and drink and make a lot of money.

in the hall.

Zhao Shangshu looked at the imperial edict with a sad face. This was a hard job. If he really released Huo Shaotian, he would not be spitted to death by the people in the capital.

However, the emperor has an imperial edict.

I can’t let it go.

This is how to do?

The housekeeper stood nearby. Seeing the sad look on the master's face, he was very heartbroken and said...

"Master, why don't you go to Zhanwang's Mansion and ask the prince what should I do about this matter?"

What a word that awakens the dreamer.

Zhao Shangshu was happy when he heard this. He quickly put away the imperial edict and said quickly...

"Butler, hurry up and prepare the carriage. I want to go to the Prince of War's Mansion."

"Yes." The steward quickly went to prepare the carriage.

Half an hour later.

Zhao Shangshu appeared at Prince Zhan's Mansion, but what he didn't know was that the news of his visit to Prince Zhan's Mansion soon reached the emperor's ears.

When the emperor heard this, he sneered again and again. He wanted to see if Prince Zhan really dared to openly oppose him?

At that time, he will be able to punish him for the crime of disobeying the imperial edict.

In this way, he can take over his military power openly, and the soldiers in the army will also be convinced by him.

The emperor felt happy when he thought of this, and immediately ran to Shengning Palace to find Bai Yiyi.

Let’s talk about Zhao Shangshu’s side. After he met with Prince Zhan, he told him about the imperial edict, and then asked with a sad face...

"My lord, what do you think we should do about this matter? If I really let him go, the people in the capital will curse me to death."

Ye Yi frowned and said with a half-smile...

"Who dares to disobey the emperor's decree? That will result in beheading."

"Master Zhao, since the emperor has issued an imperial edict, you can just follow his instructions. I believe the people will understand you."

Zhao Shangshu was stunned. He never imagined that Prince Zhan, who always cared about the people and made decisions for the people, would not dare to disobey the emperor.

"But the evidence is conclusive that Mr. Huo and his daughter killed Zhang Dahua. There are both witnesses and physical evidence. Is it inappropriate to just let him go like this?"

Ye Yi spread his hands and said, "What can we do? That is the emperor's wish. Who dares to disobey?"

Zhao Shangshu wanted to cry but had no tears. If even Prince Zhan refused to come forward about this matter, then there really would be nothing he could do.

He had to stand up and say goodbye.

"In that case, I'll take my leave."

Ye Yi picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and said without raising his head: "Well, Uncle Fu, let's see the guests off."

"Yes." Uncle Fu understood what the prince meant. He kept sending Zhao Shangshu out of the gate. He kept hinting to him on the way that this matter was the emperor's intention, so that he would not have to feel guilty.

If the people scold him, just move out the emperor and suppress them.

Zhao Shangshu is not stupid either. He understood it as soon as he listened and was suddenly enlightened.

However, he just let the murderer go and failed to avenge the people. He was still unhappy, so he got into the carriage and drove away gloomily.

Two hours later.

People all over the capital were shocked when they heard that the murderer Huo Shaotian had been released...

"Oh my God! If the murderer can be released, what kind of world is this?"

"Is this how officials protect each other? If we do this, how can we, the common people, survive?"

"That's right, it's so abominable. Originally, I thought Zhao Shangshu was an upright official who was not afraid of the powerful, but now it seems that he is also an indiscriminate dog official."

"The world is as black as crows, how can there be any honest officials."

"No, there is another one, and that is Prince Zhan."

While everyone was talking about it, an old man came over and said to everyone...

"No matter how great Lord Zhan is, he can't be greater than the Emperor. I heard that the reason why Huo Shaotian was released this time was because of the emperor's personal decree. You have wronged Lord Zhao. This matter really has nothing to do with him."

As he spoke, he pointed at the things in everyone’s hands and advised...

"You rotten eggs, rotten vegetable leaves, and feces, put them away quickly. Don't throw them away when Mr. Zhao passes by. He is really a rare honest official. Don't let his heart go cold."

"The emperor has a decree, and he has no choice but to do so."

When everyone heard this, they were furious again and asked...

"Uncle Fan, is this true or false? Did the emperor really let the murderer go?"

Uncle Fan: "Why are you lying to you? It is a big deal for the eunuchs in the palace to come out to declare the imperial edict. You will know the truth if you just inquire about it."
