The autumn rain is still dripping down, in the imperial study of the Qianqing Palace, Jiajing Emperor Zhu Hou is standing by the window, silently looking at the autumn rain outside, and his mood at the moment is as chaotic and tangled as the sound of the rain. Huoran? Wen??? ｗ?ｗ?ｗ?． ｒａｎｗｅｎa`ｃｏｍ

Jiajing rode a horse first, so he returned to the capital yesterday, and the prisoner car escorting Xu Jin only entered the city today.

After all, paper can't contain the fire, and the news of the arrest of Jinghai Marquis Xu Jin was heard in the officialdom yesterday, and today the prisoner car entered the city, everything was confirmed, and it instantly set off an uproar.

With Xu Jin's status in the court today, it is inevitable that his arrest will cause a huge earthquake, and the Manchu Dynasty is shocked by both civil and military affairs, some people doubt, some people regret, and of course, there is no shortage of people who gloat, after all, when Xu Jin presided over the land around the capital of Qingzhang, he almost offended the magnates in the capital.

These magnates had to swallow their anger when Xu Jin gained power, and now that Xu Jin has lost power, they naturally stretched out their legs and stepped on it without hesitation, coupled with the upstart faction led by Zhang Xuan, for a while, the impeachment of Xu Jin flew to Emperor Jiajing's desk like snowflakes, as if Xu Jin had suddenly become a villain who did all kinds of evil, and everyone wanted to kill him quickly.

Especially the grass on the wall, the criminal department gave Zhou Yuxian in the matter, and sprinkled thousands of words in the book, counted Xu Jin's "ten major crimes", and finally asked the emperor to exterminate Xu Jin's family, and it was best to execute Yunyun by Ling Chi.

Of course, there are also people who wrote to defend Xu Jin, such as Xia Yan, a bachelor in the Hanlin Chamberlain, Xu Jie, Qin Jin, the head of the household department, and the Imperial Shijin Xianmin of the Zuodu of the Metropolitan Inspection Academy, etc., they have counted the merits of Xu Jin, and suggested that Xu Jin should be opened to the net and cut his post for the people.

Emperor Jiajing has a special affection for Xu Jin who is also a brother and a brother, and he is even closer to Xie Xiaowan than his own sister, so he naturally does not intend to take Xu Jin's life, but the state has national laws and family rules, Xu Jin's behavior has seriously violated the red line, if it is not severely punished, it is really difficult to block the world's mouth, so Jiajing is very entangled now.

Zhu Hou is eighteen years old this year, he has made great progress in all aspects, and his political skills are becoming more and more proficient, but he is still far from becoming a real emperor with thunderous powers.

Of course, Xu Jin also knows Zhu Hou's character well, so he has no fear, if Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di are in power, he will definitely not dare to sit still like this.

Let's say that Zhu Hou was looking at the autumn rain outside the window, and he heard the little eunuch outside say in a shrill voice: "See the two princesses." ”

Zhu Hou cleaned up his mood and turned around, the two princesses in the palace who can freely enter and leave the Qianqing Palace are naturally Yongfu and Yongchun.

Sure enough, a moment later, two palace beauties walked in together, it was Princess Yongfu and Princess Yongchun. Princess Yongfu's appearance and temperament are similar to Sister Lin in "Dream of Red Mansions", but due to her perennial yoga practice, her face is much more ruddy and healthy, her body is more slender and graceful, and her charm is full. Princess Yongchun is slightly shorter than her sister, and her appearance is inferior, so she can only be regarded as above average.

"Yongfu (Chun) has seen the emperor!" Yongfu and Yongchun walked in front of Zhu Hou and gave a salute.

Zhu Hou said listlessly: "No courtesy, Yongfu Yongchun, the autumn rain is dashing outside, what are you doing here?" ”

Yongchun pouted and said, "If it's raining, you can't come to the imperial brother?" If not, we'll leave now. ”

Zhu Hou hurriedly smiled bitterly: "Welcome, of course welcome, Yongchun, to be honest, didn't you spend all the gold leaves you won here last time, and you want to knock on my bamboo pole?" ”

Yongchun rolled his eyes cutely: "It's not, who is rare with your gold leaves." ”

Yongfu glanced at his sister with disgust, and explained with a smile: "There is a lotus seed and snow fungus bird's nest soup in Cining Palace, and the queen mother asked us to bring a bowl to the emperor to taste." ”

After Princess Yongfu finished speaking, she instructed the palace maid to take out the soup from the food box and put it on the table, and said softly: "The emperor should drink it while it is hot, it should be cold later." ”

Zhu Hou's heart warmed, he picked up the bowl of lotus seed bird's nest soup and drank it, licked his mouth unsatisfactorily and said, "It's delicious, thank you for the imperial sister...... Royal Sister! ”

Zhu Hou saw Yongchun pouting, and immediately cleverly added the imperial sister.

Princess Yongfu glanced at the mountains of notebooks on the imperial case, frowned imperceptibly, and said, "Is the emperor worried about the affairs of Jinghai Hou?" ”

Zhu Hou nodded, and said slightly angrily: "Xu Jin disappointed me too much, I trusted him so much, he actually betrayed me, fornicated with the White Lotus and rebelled, and he was obsessed and unrepentant. Yongfu, do you think I should cut off his head? ”

Princess Yongfu frowned and said, "How can Jinghai Hou die without repentance?" ”

"I ordered him to send troops to encircle and suppress the White Lotus Demon Maiden, but he resisted and disobeyed; I asked him to cut off the relationship with the white lotus demon girl, but he still refused, he was really angry. Zhu Hou said angrily and hurriedly.

"Brother Huang, I think Xu Jin is very good like this, at least he is affectionate, righteous and responsible, and he would rather resist the decree than hurt his own woman, if only I could meet a colt who can resist the decree for me in the future. It's disgusting to look at the concubine Tang Xianji that the queen mother picked for her sister...... Hehe, when I didn't say it, when I didn't say it! ”

Yongchun, the girl, was still looking longing, but when she saw the emperor's brother glaring at her in annoyance, she hurriedly stuck out her tongue and shut up.

Princess Yongfu glanced at her sister with disgust, and said lightly: "What the emperor saw was that Marquis Jinghai died without repentance, but Yongfu saw his honesty with the emperor. ”

Zhu Hou said with a straight face: "Xu Jin had an affair with the White Lotus Demon Maiden, but he kept it a secret from me, this is also called honesty?" Yongfu wants to intercede for Xu Jin, at least say something reliable. ”

Yongfu came to the imperial study this time under the pretext of pleading, and indeed intended to intercede for Xu Jin, but was broken by Zhu Hou's words, and her already tender cheeks suddenly turned red, and she said suddenly: "Your Majesty, sometimes well-intentioned deception does not mean betrayal, Jinghaihou concealed this matter, maybe he just wanted to protect that woman from harm." If Jinghai Marquis is not honest with the emperor, you can completely promise the emperor to cut off the relationship with that woman, why risk death to anger the emperor? ”

Zhu Hou said with a dark face: "It makes some sense, but no matter what, it is a fact that Xu Jin fornicated with the White Lotus and rebelled against the thief!" ”

Yongfu nodded and said: "Yongfu does not deny that Jinghaihou is guilty, but judging a person's loyalty and treachery, isn't it necessary to observe his words and deeds?" Yongfu is a female streamer, and she doesn't know any big truths, but what Yongfu Guanjing Haihou has done over the years is only beneficial to the Ming Dynasty and the emperor, and it is harmless. If it is only because he has a relationship with the White Lotus woman, it is really unreasonable to conclude that he betrayed the emperor! ”

"That's it, Brother Huang, count it yourself, how much credit Xu Jin has given you, it's simply the God of Wealth and a blessed general, if you cut it, no one will make money for you in the future, and you will lead troops to fight!" Yongchun helped.

Zhu Hou couldn't help crying and laughing: "Meritorious service is meritorious service, transgression is transgression, Xu Jinli's meritorious service, I have rewarded it, and his transgression will naturally be punished." ”

"Then just do whatever you want!" Yongchun is full of authenticity.

Zhu Hou rolled his eyes, fornication and thieves are capital crimes, what do you mean? You girl said it lightly, even if I don't care, those ministers won't want to, look at the transcripts on the imperial case, and the ones who asked to kill Xu Jin accounted for more than half.

At this time, Lu Bing's goods came in a hurry, but when he saw Yongfu and Yongchun there, his footsteps suddenly hesitated, and one foot that had just entered the imperial study retreated.

"Ah Bing, what's the matter?" Zhu Hou found that he asked in a deep voice.

Lu Bing hurriedly walked in and knelt down to salute, and saluted to the two princesses Yongfu and Yongchun, and then reported: "Your Majesty, something happened, and the Oriental Protector has rebelled!" ”

Zhu Hou suddenly raised his eyebrows and said angrily: "The king is the opposite? Where did the news come from? ”

Lu Bing covered his eyes with joy and replied: "It was reported by Lord Yan Songyan according to the investigation of the Oriental Protectorate, and the specific reason, the emperor still listens to Lord Yan's face, and now Lord Yan is asking to see him outside the palace." ”

Zhu Hou said with a gloomy face: "Let Yan Song wait in the Wenhua Palace, and I will go over immediately." ”
