Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

Chapter 1395

After Sun finished speaking, Yang Chao nodded in agreement.

“That’s right. We were among the first to follow the Holy Master and spent more time with him than you did. He is not an ungrateful person!”

After being comforted by Sun Chang and Yang Chao, Xu Miao calmed down a bit and looked at Song Zhong again.

This time, however, he didn't say anything, but waited quietly, wanting to hear what Song Zhong would say next.

Seeing that the situation had finally stabilized, Song Zhong took a deep breath and slowly began to explain:

"Now that everyone has calmed down, I'll tell you what I've learned. You all know I have connections in the palace."

"That's why I was the first person to come into contact with the Holy Master."

Upon hearing Song Zhong's words, Sun Chang, Yang Chao, Wu Qiang, and the others all nodded, indicating that they were also aware of the matter.

Back in the Ministry of Works, Song Zhong, Sun Chang, and others were all people who were not good at socializing but were indeed very capable.

Later, when Wei Wu established the Academy of Science and Technology, he asked the Ministry of Works for personnel. The first person to contact Wei Wu was Song Zhong.

Then, with Song Zhong's help, these talented but unappreciated individuals followed Wei Wu to the Academy of Science and Technology.

Seeing that everyone nodded, Song Zhong continued:

"After learning that the Holy Master had been imprisoned, I made a special trip to inquire about the news before meeting with everyone."

"Although my relative didn't say much, I could still glean one thing from his words: His Majesty's attitude was very strange."

Upon hearing this, everyone present perked up, their eyes fixed on Song Zhong, waiting for him to continue.

Song Zhong didn't keep them in suspense and immediately continued:

"Therefore, I believe there may be some hidden reasons why the Holy Master was imprisoned in the Imperial Prison. It's best not to act rashly!"

The relative that Song Zhong mentioned was none other than Eunuch Wang, who had recommended him to Cao Cao.

In fact, Eunuch Wang didn't really know any inside information, after all, he was just a eunuch and wasn't qualified to know too much.

Unless there was a plan that required Wang Gonggong's involvement, Zhu Yuanzhang, given his personality, would not say too much to the eunuchs.

The reason why Eunuch Wang gave Song Zhong advice was entirely based on his personal understanding of Zhu Yuanzhang and his own speculation.

Having spent many years by Zhu Yuanzhang's side, he had witnessed too many of Zhu Yuanzhang's emotions, and eunuchs happen to be the best at reading people's expressions.

Back when the Hu Weiyong case occurred, he personally witnessed how irritable Zhu Yuanzhang was after court sessions.

Many palace servants were punished for this, and some were even thrown into death row for the slightest mistake, making them extremely unapproachable.

That was just Hu Weiyong, but the current Wei Wu is in the emperor's heart a figure that Hu Weiyong cannot compare to.

As a result of this money exchange scandal, Wei Wu was imprisoned, but the emperor did not fly into a rage as he had in the past after court.

Although he also had an unapproachable demeanor, the observant eunuch Wang still noticed the difference.

Therefore, he guessed that Wei Wu's imprisonment might not be as serious as outsiders thought; perhaps it was just a setup!

However, because he was in the palace and by the emperor's side, there were too many things to consider, so Eunuch Wang could not say too much.

So when Song Zhong asked him, he only gave a vague answer and did not reveal his own guess.

Moreover, Song Zhong was his relative and an important figure in the Academy of Sciences, making him relatively important to Wei Wu.

If it were anyone else, Eunuch Wang probably wouldn't have revealed even this little bit of information; he would have preferred to pretend to be mute to protect himself.

For Eunuch Wang, saying all this to Song Zhong was already a lot, but for Xu Miao, what Song Zhong said was not enough.

He was still too young and impatient. What he wanted was not vague information, but an answer that his teacher would return safely!
