Chapter 424: Strike When It's Time to Strike

"Grandpa Huang has rested."

Out of the Dongnuan Pavilion, Zhu Zhanji saw that his parents were waiting outside, so he whispered this. After returning to the Qianqing Palace from Fengtianmen, Zhu Di couldn't help but be angry anymore, and even Zhu Gaochi couldn't cope with the blazing anger, let alone Zhu Zhanji, who had rarely experienced this scene. In the end, it was the crown princess Zhang who arrived in a hurry, and the three of them worked together to persuade Zhu Di to drink a bowl of calming wolfberry white fungus soup, and coaxed the tired emperor to rest.

"Fortunately, this is in the Qianqing Palace, if it is in Fengtianmen and starts a fire like this, those officials of the science and Taoism must be unconvinced, and if the two sides are up, it will be a big trouble." Thinking of the previous scene, Zhu Zhanji couldn't help but feel palpitations, after calculating it, he still didn't expect that one Zhang Yue was far from enough, and he almost made a mistake, so he had to add another sentence, "Fortunately, Xia Shangshu is old and serious." ”

Although the crown princess Zhang did not come to Fengtianmen in person, several little eunuchs in the East Palace have been going back and forth between the Huiji Gate and the Right Gate, constantly asking for news and coming back to report, so she also knows very well about the time-consuming and protracted dispute earlier. Glancing at Zhu Zhanji, she laughed: "Although you often follow your imperial grandfather, this kind of occasion should be the first time, and it is good to see and understand." You can not listen to the words of the officials, and you can not like them, but it is still useful for these people to keep them. ”

Since this was in the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Gaochi didn't want to talk about it here, so he waved his hand. The three of them went out of the palace gate, and immediately there were eunuchs and palace maids who came up to take umbrellas, and when they were about to leave, someone hurried over at the end of the Qianqing gate. In front is a young eunuch holding an umbrella in one hand and a high music in the other, and in the back is Du Zhen. Thinking that none of the six ministers were spared today, only Du Zhen was able to get out, and the others were drenched in the heavy rain for a long time, Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"Master Du is here to send a fold to his father? Right now, my father has just rested, you put down your things and go back first, Wenyuan Pavilion can't be left unattended. ”

After Du Zhen saluted, he nodded and replied when he heard this: "This is what the minister also means, so he has already exchanged with Xiao Yang, and the minister will stay in Wenyuan Pavilion tonight." The three of them are already quite old, and they have been drenched in the heavy rain for more than two hours today, so they have already taken leave to go home at this time, and the six Shangshu masters have also taken leave, and the minister originally planned to see the emperor and mention it first. ”

"Naturally, they are not as young and vigorous as those scientific and Taoist officials, and it is also appropriate to take leave and go home to recuperate at this time, if anyone falls ill, in case there is something important, it will be delayed. In the past few days, it has been a little harder for Bachelor Lao Du, and even if the two Bachelor Yang and Bachelor Jin can barely come to the court to be on duty, they are afraid that they will be greatly discounted in doing things. ”

"This is a matter of the ministers, and they should do their best."

Zhu Gaochi nodded, walked out two steps, but suddenly turned around and stopped Du Zhen, because he asked: "Among these recitals, are there any who should be written in a straightforward edict?" If you pick it out for me first, it will undoubtedly add fuel to the fire at this time, if the father loses his temper in anger, Xia Yuanji and Zhang Yue's efforts before will be in vain. ”

Seeing that Du Zhen hesitated for a moment and took out the bottom few books from the stack of folds held by the little eunuch, Zhu Gaochi laughed even more after taking it: "It seems that Master Du has been prepared for a long time, and he knows that even if his father rises, he may not be able to look at the bottom for a while." Okay, you can send the rest in first, and I will pick an appropriate time for Zhanji to send to the Qianqing Palace. ”

Because he was only busy appeasing Zhu Di before, Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Zhanji missed lunch, so when they returned to Duanjing Hall of Duanben Palace, Zhang hurriedly ordered someone to pass the meal. However, Xing was so hungry, maybe he was still thinking about the previous things and had no appetite, although all kinds of dishes and plates were placed on the table, the father and son only moved their chopsticks slightly, and in the end, Zhu Zhanji stood up and retired. Zhang had no choice but to let him go, and when the person left, he shook his head at Zhu Gaochi.

"Zhanji, this kid has even learned from Your Highness, and you don't eat well when you have a mind...... I looked at his expression in the Qianqing Palace, as if he had something on his mind. He, the imperial grandson, is just studying with people in the East Palace, and he rarely interacts with outsiders on weekdays, let alone anyone who provokes him, and he has never heard that he pays attention to any woman, but it is vaguely for today's business. ”

"This is natural, I told him before, this time the official is violent, and he will not look back after hitting the south wall, he should be interested, so he will probably ask people to mention Zhang Yue. It's just that he counted this one but didn't count the other, although Zhang Yue said that it was very much in line with his father's wishes, but the weight was not enough, if it wasn't for Xia Yuanji today......"

Although Zhu Gaochi didn't say anything further, the Zhang family and his husband and wife for many years, how could they not guess this half-cut, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face: "Zhan Ji is still young, and he has been held in the palm of the emperor's hand since he was a child without any setbacks, where is there such a last resort for you?" However, according to what you said this time, Xia Yuanji must not be looking at the face of you, the prince of the East Palace. ”

"Xia Yuanji is a righteous gentleman, otherwise when his father entered Nanjing, others tied Xia Yuanji to see him, and his father didn't return to release him lightly. It is not uncommon for officials to not love money throughout the ages, but it is rare to be lenient and tolerant. Although Jian Yi is a righteous person, he is too cautious, if this matter is entrusted to him, it is better to entrust Xia Yuanji. ”

Seeing his wife looking at him full of praise, Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but feel a little proud in his heart. Although there is such a strong father as Zhu Di, he, the prince, is almost walking on thin ice like facing the abyss, but if he blindly stays motionless in the East Palace after arriving in Beijing, this prince will be too sloppy. If you don't care about it like Zhu Gaoxu, you can't jump off the wall like Zhu Gaosui, and now that his position as the prince is unshakable, then he will take action when it's time to act.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, His Royal Highness the Crown Princess, the General Administration Department has a fold to send it."

Hearing this, Zhu Gaochi and Zhang, who were sitting opposite each other, couldn't help but be stunned. Zhang opened his mouth to announce it, and when she saw that it was Fan Hong, the eunuch who was waiting in the study in the East Palace, she frowned: "Now that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is no longer in charge of the country, no matter how big or small, he should enter the Wenyuan Pavilion, and then ask the emperor to deal with it, why is the General Administration so ignorant of the rules?" You don't know anything, but you actually took the fold! ”

Seeing that Zhu Gaochi was also displeased, Fan Hong hurriedly explained: "The little one has served in the East Palace for many years, and he doesn't even understand this rule, but it is really this excerpt of the King of Han that is specially presented to the East Palace, so the General Administration Department specially sent it over." The small one also checked it and was sure that there was no error, so he accepted it. ”

Hearing that it was a letter sent by Zhu Gaochu, the king of Han, Zhu Gaochi suddenly felt very strange in his heart. He and Zhu Gaochu and Zhu Gaosui are the same mother, but the three brothers have very different tempers, and they send people to give gifts during the New Year's holidays, and their daily letters are only superficial. In the past, Zhu Gaoxu ordered people to send letters, and he never went through the political department, what kind of fame is he doing this time? Seeing that Zhang stretched out his hand to take the fold, he said bluntly: "You read it to me and see what he wrote." ”

"Big brother, you also know that the eldest of my family died first. Although I don't like this weak boy, he is my eldest son, so I always feel a little uncomfortable. However, this kid still has to calculate me when he dies, and he sent an excerpt to his father, saying that he wanted to make the second child the son. What a mess this is! That damn boy sued his father with his son, and I didn't want to recognize him anymore, and I wanted to make him the son? Do you think that my father was confused, and even sent someone to release him, and even told me that no matter how bad my son is, I gave birth to it, and I have to accept my fate...... Phew, anyway, I can't stand this son, and now that my father is not in good health, let him go to Jingshi, and take care of it under your nose......"

Zhu Gaochi knew that Zhu Gaochu had always been fond of martial arts and disliked literature, so he didn't feel anything strange when he heard such a straightforward and vulgar family letter, however, the content of the letter gave him a big headache. At the beginning, Zhu Zhanqi, the king of Shouguang, could be said to have caused an uproar in the government and the opposition, although he had never seen Zhu Di's angry appearance, but when others told him, he once thought that the stupid nephew would never turn over. Who knew that now that Zhu Zhantan, the son of the Han Dynasty, died, he would go around and release people again, and at this time Zhu Gaoxu even planned to kick this trouble to him!

After Zhang finished reading, he also felt that something was wrong in his heart, so he asked, "Your Highness, will there be fraud in this?" ”

"The personality of the second child has always been to do what he says, do you think he only wrote to me? The recital he wrote to his father must have been handed over, this is not a request at all, but just a notice! If my father agrees, what does it matter if I agree or not? He did it on purpose! ”

Although the chubby Zhu Gaochi rarely loses his temper, this time he is really angry. In the emperor's family, this brother's wall is not an uncommon thing, but what annoys him the most is that Zhu Gaoxu takes everything for granted, and thinks that he has snatched the position of the prince. However, at the time of the Battle of Jingjing, Zhu Gaoxu did follow Zhu Di to saddle up and make great contributions, but if he didn't sit in Beiping and repeatedly keep the base camp intact, where would he survive until the final success?

Seeing that Zhu Gaochi's face was getting more and more ugly, the Zhang family retreated Fan Hong and a few others, and then persuaded softly: "Your Highness doesn't have to think too much, even if the emperor allows King Shouguang to enter Beijing, he will definitely be strictly disciplined." Moreover, since their father and son are separated, even if the King of Han sent him to Beijing with ulterior motives, he may not really serve his father wholeheartedly. According to what he did before, he is just a guy who has not achieved enough things and has more than enough failures, and he can't make waves in Beijing. ”

Although Zhang's soft words were gentle, Zhu Gaochi still did not dispel the most important hidden worries. To this day, Zhu Gaoxu still has close contacts with those nobles, who knows if this Zhu Zhanqi was taught to be obedient and obeyed Zhu Gaoxu's words?

So, when he casually picked up a few copies of the notebook he had just brought back, and found that it was the handwriting of Jinke Jinshi, Zhu Gaochi snorted coldly angrily. Those officials don't know what to do, what are these guys!
