Chapter 1347
Therefore, in their eyes, Wei Wu is now like someone who has lost a screw in his head, daring to say anything stupid.
However, the next second, those who thought Wei Wu had lost his mind were all stunned by what they saw.
Upon hearing Wei Wu's words, the two guards did not release him, but they did stop and did not continue to walk out.
This situation not only stunned the officials who heard Wei Wu's words, but also those who didn't hear them.
However, they were surprised that the two guards suddenly stopped and did not continue to take Wei Wu away.
This was an order personally given by the emperor, a situation that had never occurred before since the founding of the Ming Dynasty.
It's actually quite normal for this to happen. Others might not understand, but these two brothers have been guarding the Ancestral Hall for many years.
Over the years, they had witnessed firsthand the way Zhu Yuanzhang and Wei Wu interacted, which was hardly the behavior of a monarch and his subject.
They were more like friends despite their age difference; after all, what kind of high-ranking monarch and his minister would sit together on the steps below the dragon throne and eat roast duck?
They would even fight over a duck leg. It was precisely because they understood the relationship between Wei Wu and Zhu Yuanzhang that they listened to Wei Wu.
Because they knew very well that His Majesty wouldn't pursue such a trivial matter, but if they didn't listen, the consequences could be much more serious.
However, the civil and military officials were unaware of these matters, which is why they were surprised by the guards' actions.
Just as everyone was stunned, Wei Wu, who was being held by two guards, spoke again, this time in a louder voice.
"Your Majesty, I humbly request that you release these two brothers first, as I have something I wish to say to Lord Zhan."
Because of the distance, Zhu Yuanzhang did not know what had just happened, but since Wei Wu had spoken, he still agreed.
"You two release the Duke of Zhenguo and let him speak!"
With Zhu Yuanzhang's approval, the two guards released their grip without a word, but still stood on either side of Wei Wu.
Wei Wu, now free, did not hesitate and immediately stepped forward to stand in front of Zhan Hui, looking at him coldly.
Because of the height difference, Wei Wu looked down, which still made Zhan Hui feel somewhat intimidated.
"What...what do you want to do? Let me tell you, this is the Fengxian Hall, you can't just do whatever you want here!"
"If you dare to act recklessly, His Majesty will certainly..."
Before Zhan Hui could finish speaking, Wei Wu raised his leg and delivered a solid kick to Zhan Hui's chest.
Boom!
A muffled thud rang out, and Zhan Hui was kicked back five or six meters by Wei Wu.
Zhan Hui was a civil official, and he couldn't withstand such a kick. He immediately clutched his chest, fell to the ground, and curled up into a ball.
This was all because Wei Wu held back; otherwise, with his strength, that kick might have killed Zhan Hui.
After kicking him, before Zhan Hui could get up and speak, Wei Wu immediately raised his hand, pointed at him, and said angrily:
"This is the Fengxian Hall, with His Majesty right here! How dare you, you bastard, spew such vulgarities and call me a dog! You're utterly audacious!" "I'm about to be thrown into prison; do you think I'll tolerate this?"
After Wei Wu finished speaking, the officials in the distance were alright, but they were quite surprised that Wei Wu would actually take action inside the palace.
Those who were closest to Wei Wu were the most shocked, because they had overheard the conversation.
What Zhan Huiming clearly said was: When you called me a dog back then, did the Duke of Zhenguo ever think that he would end up like this?
But in Wei Wu's mouth, it became that Zhan Hui took the initiative to call him a dog, which is clearly a distortion of the truth!
They were all seasoned veterans of officialdom, well aware of its darkness, where even white could be portrayed as black.
