After a busy day yesterday, Zhu Gaoxu and his wife went to the imperial city and completed a lot of complicated and lengthy etiquette. Today, Zhu Gaoxu and Guo Wei have to go to the palace again, and after meeting their father and mother again, the wedding will almost be over after this trip.

As soon as it was dawn, he called Guo Wei to get up together. Zhu Gaoxu still wears a leather jacket and inserts a big hairpin into his head, while Guo Wei wears Zhai clothes and a Zhai crown.

After breakfast, Zhu Gaoxu sat in the dining room for a while, looking thoughtful. Guo Wei also sat next to him and didn't disturb him.

The maid came up with two cups of tea, and Zhu Gaoxu picked up the teacup with his hand, holding the bottom of the cup with his left hand, and placing the thumb and index finger of his right hand on the lid of the cup without revealing it.

The porcelain lid of the white ceramic teacup has a protruding lid, and Zhu Gaoxu's right thumb and index finger repeatedly pinched the lid, occasionally pulling it up, the action was very light, and the lid was never lifted.

After a while, he came back to his senses, and saw Guo Wei, who was sitting next to him, with a red face, looking at him like autumn waves. Zhu Gaoxu was stunned for a moment, and looked down at the teacup. The two looked at each other and never said a word.

The hour was almost up, so Zhu Gaoxu got up and took Guo Wei out in a carriage.

They went to the imperial city and entered through the Donghua Gate, but learned that the emperor was still in the imperial gate, and the early dynasty had not yet ended. Zhu Gaoxu and his wife came too early, so they went to wait outside the Qianqing Palace under the guidance of the eunuchs.

……

At this time, the ministers were still standing in the Mukden Gate. Hanlin attendant Xie Jin was in the middle, and said loudly: "The minister impeached the king of Gaoyang County for overstepping the system, and the officiating marriage made Xue Yan, the secretary of Dali Temple, wrong!" The king of Gaoyang County is dressed in nine chapters, and the crown is nine and five-color crowns, which is not in line with the system of the county king. The Ming Dynasty has its own etiquette, and the king of Gaoyang County, as a clan, actually regards etiquette as nothing, and should be punished!

Xue Yan, the Qing of Dali Temple, flattered the vassal king at every opportunity, had no discipline, and was just a villain who drilled the camp officialdom! The minister thought that Xue Yan could not preside over Dali Temple, and he had the great trust of the saint! ”

Xie Jin made a generous statement, but there was not even a single person in the hall who seconded the proposal, and there was a ridicule from the crowd!

The person who made the ridicule was Qiu Fu, who had just been crowned the Duke of Qi, Qiu Fu glanced at Xie Jin with mockery, turned his head and whispered to Zhu Neng, the Duke of Chengguo next to him: "Is this official sick?" ”

Zhu Neng opened his big mouth, and finally couldn't hold back his laughter.

The Emperor was silent for a moment, and only said, "I know. ”

Xie Jin had to retreat into the queue with Shane.

At this time, Chen Ying, the left deputy of the Imperial Palace, came out and bowed: "Qi Qi Sheng, the minister impeached Sheng Yong, the chief military officer of Huai'an. Sheng Yong has a different heart! Sheng Yong has a sentence in the recital, he doesn't even claim to be a minister, his intentions are ill-intentioned! ”

After a long while, the emperor said: "It's just a little clerical error in the recital, just a minutia, and it can't be said that Sheng Yong has different intentions." ”

After a while, the emperor said: "Give Sheng Yong an order, I remember that Shandong has been trapped by the military rebellion for a long time, and I am tired of the labor of transferring." transferred Shengyong as the chief military officer of Shandong and asked him to raise the army and support the people. ”

The Hanlin official bowed and said, "The ministers are the commanders." ”

At this moment, Chen Ying said again: "The minister impeached Ningyuan Marquis He Fu!" He Fu's younger brother He Lu is still missing, and he is still missing, so he must have a plan......"

"Ask someone to ask He Fu, where is his brother He Lu?" The Emperor said. After saying that, he couldn't help but say that he stood up first, as if he had something to do and left.

The ministers had no choice but to bow down and give thanks.

The ministers of civil and military affairs came out of the Fengtian Gate one after another, talking and walking in twos and threes. Xie Jin went out of Fengtianmen alone, and then Yuan Hui chased after him and greeted him from behind: "Xie Shiyu wait for me." ”

Xie Jin turned around and made a salute, and Yuan Hui returned the salute and walked side by side with him.

After walking for a while, Yuan Hui said quietly: "The wedding dress of the king of Gaoyang County is blue, and he is not dressed in Xuanyi. Even if the clothes are overdressed, they are only counted as princes. He is a holy concubine, and sooner or later he will be a prince, and there is nothing to impeach. At this time, it's not a good thing for Xie Shiyu to do this, you know? ”

"When?" Xie Jin looked displeased and asked with a frown.

Yuan Heng sighed, did not answer his question, and said: "King Gaoyang has overstepped the system, and it is enough to impeach King Gaoyang, but what is the impeachment of Xue Yan?" It's so ugly, it's not enough to offend everyone! ”

Xie Jin was stunned and said: "My Ming Dynasty etiquette state, since the etiquette system has been established, everyone must abide by the etiquette, otherwise what is the use of that system?" ”

Yuan Heng's eyes widened, but he couldn't refute Xie Jin, but he couldn't make sense.

At this time, there were a few whispered comments not far away, "The officials of the Hongwu Dynasty were corrupt and had to be stripped of their skin and filled in the grass, and Chen Ying was corrupt during the Jianwen Dynasty and was only belittled." But he holds a grudge because of this, and now he can't get along with us all day long, this is a villain who will be avenged! ”

Yuan Hui quietly turned his head to take a look, and saw that the person who spoke was the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, who spoke quietly, thinking that Yuan Hui didn't hear it. But Yuan Hui's ears are very smart.

At this time, everyone has returned to their respective yamen, and there is not much to do at the moment.

…… After Zhu Di left Fengtianmen, he went straight to the Qianqing Palace. Invite Empress Xu, the emperor and the queen to see Gao Xu and his wife in the main hall, accept the worship, give meals, and give many gold, silver and jade gifts.

After the ceremony, Zhu Di asked the queen to entertain Gao Xu and his wife, and he quickly went to the Dongnuan Pavilion and asked the eunuch to move the chapter over to see.

Zhu Di was busy reading the new chapter, just because he wanted to be in a hurry to see if anyone had written to kill Fang Xiaoru...... Those civil officials who did not surrender or even insulted the emperor had been almost cleaned up at this time; There was only that Fang Xiaoru left, which made Zhu Di feel a little tricky, so that other things also dragged on for a lot of time.

He flipped through the chapters and soon found that there were two books mentioning Fang Xiaoru, but the content turned out to be a plea!

Zhu Di's anger immediately rose, and he threw the chapter on the imperial case with a "snap", and blurted out: "There is a ...... to die" Before he finished speaking, he suddenly stopped.

Now that he is the emperor, he can't just say anything. Zhu Di turned his head to look at the eunuchs standing aside, then got up and walked around on the ground.

After a long time, Zhu Di walked out of the Dongnuan Pavilion and wanted to take a breath.

He had just taken a deep breath of air when he heard a sound of talking from behind the rampant corridor. Zhu Di followed the voice and saw that it was the emperor's grandson Zhu Zhanji shouting there. The child was the most interesting, so Zhu Di paced over.

The eunuchs and palace ladies also saw the emperor, and hurriedly stepped forward to kneel and bow. And Zhu Zhanji was twisting a white cat in his hand, and he was holding a rope around the cat's neck, and the child turned around and shouted, "Grandpa! ”

"Hey!" Zhu Di answered, turned his head and asked the eunuchs, "What are you doing here?" ”

A eunuch said: "The slaves and maids have disturbed the emperor, please ask the emperor to surrender!" The grandson wanted to hang the cat, but the slaves had to dissuade him. That cat is the princess's favorite thing! If you see the grandson hanging the cat, how can the slaves and maids explain to the princess......"

Zhu Di asked Zhu Zhanji casually, "The cat's fur is so white, as beautiful as snow." Why did the grandson kill him? ”

Zhu Zhanji raised his little head and said, "This cat stole the fish raised by the emperor's grandfather, it made a mistake and died innocently!" ”

"Hah!" Zhu Di listened, and immediately spit out a sullen breath in his heart, but he didn't expect that he could only endure what he wanted to say, but his grandson said it very decisively.

Zhu Di didn't laugh angrily, pointed at Zhanji, looked back left and right, and said, "My grandson is very similar to me, there are rewards and punishments, and I can distinguish between black and white." You let him hang the cat! From the princess, she said that I asked the grandson to do it. ”

"Slaves and maids obey!" The eunuchs bowed.

So the eunuchs, who had been dissuading, stepped forward to help, tightened the rope around the cat's neck, and then asked Shisun to hang it on a piece of wood in the corridor, and the cat was very fat and heavy, and immediately struggled there.

Zhu Di left the Dongnuan Pavilion and went to Fengtianmen by royal chariot. After sitting for a while, Ji Gang came to him, presented a list of prisoners, and then bowed down and stood aside.

Zhu Di flipped through quietly, and the sound of the "whooshing" paper was very rhythmic, not fast or slow, but it did not stop.

Suddenly, his hand stopped, looked at the file and frowned, "Fang Xiaoru is still alive?" ”

When Ji Gang heard this, he bent down lower, but he didn't say a word. Zhu Di didn't blame him, closed the file and threw it next to the imperial case, "Take it." ”

"Command!" Ji Gang picked up the file with both hands and walked out of the imperial gate.
