You're running out of time. ”

As soon as Gao Shipra's words came out, Liu Shouyou couldn't help but feel a tightening heart. He didn't know what Gao pragmatic meant, and he couldn't help but wonder in his heart, whether he planned to mobilize his family to forcibly resist, or invited "reinforcements"?

Liu Shouyou's eyes rolled and he didn't answer, but he secretly calculated in his heart: It should be impossible to forcibly resist, in front of Yu Tinghua and Wang Shiqi, it is impossible for Gao Pragmatic to do such a stupid thing of self-isolation from the world. Then he can only find "reinforcements", but who will the reinforcements be?

Liu Shouyou's first thought was Chen Ju, because although Chen Ju was only the second person in the inner court, he was the commander of Dongchang, if he came in person, no matter what he was doing, he had the right to forcibly suppress it - in fact, it could not be said that he had the right to suppress it, but once Chen Ju gave the order, the people of Jinyiwei did not dare not listen, even if Liu Shouyou expressed dissatisfaction on the spot, it was useless.

This situation is like a provincial governor who forcibly ordered a prefect of the province to suspend something, even if the prefect's boss has an order in front of it, it will not work, and the prefect must listen to the prefect first, otherwise most of the officers who have been subjected to the patrol press will be dismissed, and relatively speaking, even if the political envoy participates in the impeachment of the prefect, the prefect is usually written down by the ministry and criticized.

The reason for this is simple: the duty of the inspector is to supervise, and now that you have done something wrong, the power to "make decisions on small matters" can be used, and if you refuse to do so, it will be regarded as disobeying the holy will. As for whether I "decided" correctly or not, there will naturally be an emperor's holy judgment afterwards, and it has nothing to do with you.

The situation is similar to that of the Admiral of Dongchang to Jinyiwei, he is the supervisor of Jinyiwei, and if he asks you to stop immediately, you can only stop, otherwise it is equivalent to disobeying the holy will. As for whether his order is considered holy will or not, you can't control it anyway, and you can only let the emperor make a holy judgment afterwards.

How close the relationship between Chen Ju and Gao Pragmatic is, Liu Shouyou is of course clear, and he does not doubt that Chen Ju will definitely help Gao Pragmatic in this matter.

However, after Liu Shouyou concluded that Gao Pragmatic did not intend to resist by force, he was not very frightened, because he also had a backhand.

At the same time that Gao Shishi allowed Liu Shouyou to search Baiyulou, Zhu Yijun had just entered Cining Palace.

At this time, it was already afternoon, of course Zhu Yijun couldn't come to Cining Palace on the grounds of asking for peace, and the reason he used was to "ask Wuqing Marquis about illness".

Wuqing Marquis Li Wei is the biological father of Empress Dowager Cisheng Li, that is, Zhu Yijun's grandfather, and he is nearly sixty years old this year. Due to the difficult life in the early years, and after his daughter was developed, he was greedy for money and indulged in pleasure, and his health was not very good in the past two years, and he was sick recently, so Zhu Yijun came under the pretext of asking questions.

But this is also an excuse, Zhu Yijun doesn't have much affection for his grandfather, and he also knows that he has a bad reputation, except for some ceremonial activities such as worshipping the emperors on behalf of the emperor, successively, etc., he is basically not allowed to participate in other things.

Empress Dowager Li has a deep affection for her father, because her mother died early, and her father decided that she could enter the palace maid of King Yu in the past, so she was very happy to hear that her son came for this.

It's just that she hasn't had time to talk to Zhu Yijun about this matter for the time being, because someone just came to report a big event to her: the eldest princess of Yongning quietly slipped out of the palace!

It's not that Empress Dowager Li doesn't know what happened to her daughter, although she is a traditional and typical patriarchal mother, her mother is a mother after all, and she feels guilty about her daughter's marriage. But in her opinion, this is not a reason for her daughter to sneak out of the palace!

In particular, Empress Dowager Li has gone through so many things before, and now she knows very well in her heart that her daughter will definitely not be out of the palace without a purpose, she will definitely go to find Gao Shipra!

In fact, Empress Dowager Li doesn't think that Gao Pragmatic is good enough, but for the Heavenly Family, if this kind of excellence wants to be used well, it should never be exchanged for a princess. As for the reason, in fact, Empress Dowager Li did not think about it deeply, because her political skills are really ordinary, and she just stubbornly maintained the rules set by the previous emperors.

After all, in her opinion, the rules of the heavenly family are greater than everything, just as her son will definitely be the emperor, this is determined by the rules, so for her, maintaining the rules is to maintain everything.

When Zhu Yijun came to Cining Palace, he knew that the queen mother was not in the main hall, nor in the dormitory, but in the garden. He didn't think much of it, and went straight to the garden.

When they arrived at the garden, the palace maid of Cining Palace informed the emperor that the Empress Dowager Cisheng was in Hanqingzhai, and the emperor turned right. This Han Qing Zhai would not have appeared in the Ming Dynasty, and now this place was built by Gao Shishi Zhu Yijun to the Empress Dowager Cisheng a few years ago, and the name is the Empress Dowager Christmas (no wrong word).

There is a couplet hanging at the gate of Han Qing Zhai, and the book "Xuan Ying has no algae decoration, and several seats have Yu Qing", this word is written by Zhu Yijun himself by the imperial pen. In the past, he would take a look when he came here, but today Zhu Yijun didn't look at it much, but hurried in.

As soon as he entered the front room of Hanqingzhai, Zhu Yijun saw that the queen mother was holding a rosary in her hand, turning it slightly, he wanted to go up first to ask for peace, but who knew that the Empress Dowager Li asked first: "Emperor, where is Yao Yuan?" ”

Zhu Yijun's heart sank, and he said secretly: Sure enough, someone told him.

However, he had a look of surprise on his face, and said in astonishment: "Yao Yuan? Isn't she in Changchun Palace? ”

"You don't know?"

Zhu Yijun shook his head, looking innocent.

Empress Dowager Li frowned slightly, and said to a female official beside her: "Go, please ask the queen to come here." ”

Zhu Yijun hurriedly stopped first, and then asked, "Queen Mother, what happened?" ”

Empress Dowager Li glanced at him and said, "I heard that the queen gave a piece of the Kunning Palace Forbidden Phoenix Card to Yao Yuan a few days ago, and the mourning family wants to ask the queen about her intentions in doing so." ”

"Then you don't have to ask the queen, this matter is what the ministers meant." Zhu Yijun motioned for the palace maid to step back, and then said to the Empress Dowager Li: "Queen Mother, the sons and daughters are seeing the recent spring prosperity and the weather is good, so I borrowed the hand of the queen to give Yao Yuan the opportunity to go out and have a good time...... Queen Mother, you also know that Yao Yuan's mood has been very low recently, and Erchen is worried that she will be bored. ”

Empress Dowager Li was noncommittal, and asked lightly: "The princess goes out of the palace to go out of the palace, although there may be people in the outer court who can chew the root of the tongue, but after all, it is just a trivial matter, you just give a verbal message, why fake the queen's hand?" Or is this place very sensitive, and you know that it can't be known to outsiders? ”

"The queen mother's words, the sons and daughters don't quite understand." Zhu Yijun said unhurriedly: "Erchen has been busy recently, and it is both the Spring Festival and the Yunnan War, and he has no time to ask Yao Yuan where he wants to go to relax, so he said to the queen that night...... What's the matter, she's out of the palace? ”

Empress Dowager Li squinted her eyes slightly, but she didn't see any joy or anger on her face, she just said lightly: "I heard that I went, and I went out as a palace maid......

"Really? Erchen had just come from the Qianqing Palace, but he didn't know about it. Zhu Yijun's acting skills have also improved a lot now, and he began to talk nonsense without changing his face and heartbeat: "But she went out of the palace in a good manner, what did she do pretending to be a palace maid?" Oh, by the way, Erchen heard that she also set up a charity fund, could it be that she wanted to take a white dragon fish suit and observe the people's feelings? ”

Empress Dowager Li said: "The mourning family doesn't want to care about any charitable funds and other things, after all, they are all about accumulating virtue and cultivating blessings, and it is also a good thing after all." But if she does something that damages the reputation of the Heavenly Family, then the Mourning Family will not be able to do so. ”

"How so?" Zhu Yijun smiled and asked again, "Has the queen mother determined her whereabouts?" ”

Zhu Yijun's sentence puts the word "certain" very seriously, which obviously means something.

Empress Dowager Li's heart moved, and said: "The mourning family just got such a news, and they haven't sent anyone to Changchun Palace to verify, and it just so happens that the emperor is here......"

"It's not certain, and it doesn't make sense to say that now." Zhu Yijun turned around with a smile and instructed Chen Ju: "Send someone to Changchun Palace immediately to see if Yongning is there, if she is, invite her to come over, if she is not there, come and return immediately." ”

Chen Ju bowed down and went out to arrange for someone to go to Changchun Palace without mentioning it.

It stands to reason that this matter can be suspended at this point, after all, we will always have to wait for the news of Changchun Palace. Fortunately, Changchun Palace is not far from Cining Palace, and it will not take much time to come and go.

At this time, if Zhu Yijun really came to "ask Wuqing Marquis about his illness", he could start to "get down to business" now.

However, Zhu Yijun didn't mention this stubble at all, but hesitated, as if he wanted to ask something but it was not convenient to speak.

Empress Dowager Li frowned and said: "If you have anything to say, you can say it, how can you look like an emperor?" ”

Zhu Yijun was waiting for this sentence, and when he heard "Hao Ran smiled", he coughed lightly and said: "Erchen is just a little strange, no matter whether Yao Yuan is out of the palace or not, even Erchen doesn't know about this matter, why did the queen mother know so quickly?" ”

Empress Dowager Li's face changed, and she said unhappily: "What, the emperor is saying that the mourning family, a mother, is too lenient in the palace?" ”

"The queen mother misunderstood, how dare her sons have such a rebellious idea? Erchen just talks about things. Zhu Yijun said: "Although there are two palaces in the harem, the queen mother and the queen are in charge, and the sons and daughters do not have to ask anything in ordinary times, but Yao Yuan is the eldest princess of my Ming Dynasty, if she is really out of the palace, shouldn't this kind of thing be reported to the sons first?" Why hasn't the son gotten the news yet, but the queen mother has gotten the news here? ”

Zhu Yijun said, bowed to the Empress Dowager Li, and said with a straight face: "What the son wants to ask is whether the person who came to report the news was arranged by the queen mother a long time ago, or is it ......?"

"The mourning family worships the Buddha all day long, and they are so idle that they panic to arrange these?" Empress Dowager Li was asked by her son like this, and she also felt a little wrong, and frowned: "You mean to say that someone deliberately wants the mourning family to know the news before you?" ”

Zhu Yijun said in his heart: It is impossible to be earlier, but the other party does mean this.

"Erchen does have such suspicions." After all, Zhu Yijun has been in power for a while, and during this time, he has also won successive victories in foreign wars, especially the victory of Monan, which allowed the Ming Dynasty to reverse the situation on the northern border in one fell swoop.

Unexpectedly, Empress Dowager Li's attitude towards her son was not very disgusted, but she was a little novel, thought about it, and asked: "Let's not say whether there is such a thing, let's assume that there is—why do you think this person did this?" ”

Zhu Yijun said: "It's hard to say, this is exactly what Erchen has been thinking about just now." He paused slightly, and said: "In the early years of Erchen and the history of truth-seeking, he once mentioned a point of view: But if a person with a normal brain does something, he must have a purpose, and this purpose is usually to obtain some kind of benefit. So, if you want to work backwards about who did something, the key is who can benefit from it. ”

Empress Dowager Li asked, "In that case, who can benefit from this news being known to the mourning family first?" ”

Zhu Yijun smiled slightly and said: "There are usually two kinds of benefits, one is to make direct profits for yourself, and the other is for the opponent to be unlucky." The queen mother, the son-in-law, thought that the person should have expected that after you learned about this matter first, someone would be unlucky, and this unlucky person was that person's opponent, or at least one of the opponents. ”

This sound a bit strange at first, but in fact, it is quite simple, Empress Dowager Li immediately understood, and thought: "If you didn't come just now, things will develop according to that person's thoughts, who will be unlucky......

Zhu Yijun smiled and didn't speak.

Empress Dowager Li quickly changed her face and said in a deep voice: "The mourning family just suspected that Yao Yuan went to Gao Shishi, so what do you mean...... That person wants to mourn his family and be angry, and be pragmatic? ”

Zhu Yijun sighed and said: "If you want to talk about any shortcomings, Erchen really can't say anything, at most, he just likes to make money." But although he loves money, he is a gentleman who loves money, and he has always taken it in a good way. It's a pity that people in the world cling to the word 'copper smell' and refuse to let go, and always feel that loving money is a bad thing...... Therefore, seeking truth is 'the world's reputation, and slander will follow'. ”

Empress Dowager Li was a little surprised and asked, "You mean, Gao Pragmatic blocked other people's financial paths, so someone wanted to frame him?" She was slightly disbelieving, shook her head and said: "The Mourning family heard that this is not the case, even people with the temperament of your third uncle say that they are pragmatic and generous, and they have never eaten alone. ”

Zhu Yijun didn't answer immediately, smiled bitterly, and then shook his head slightly: "The queen mother doesn't know, the so-called shopping mall is like a battlefield, and the battlefield is always divided between the enemy and me." If you can stand on the side of truth-seeking, everyone will naturally think that he is righteous, because you can always make money by following him to do business. But what about the other way around? There are always some people who can't stand on the side of truth-seeking, but can only stand opposite him, but truth-seeking is very powerful, if they lose money or make less money because of this, do you think they can not hate truth-seeking? ”

Only then did Empress Dowager Li understand, nodded, and said, "The person who came to report the news just now is ......."

Before she finished her words, a eunuch outside suddenly shouted in a loud voice: "Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of Yongning has arrived-"
