Soon after the Jingtongcang case ended, the capital welcomed two distinguished guests, Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han, and Zhu Gaosui, the king of Zhao, who were edicted to enter Beijing for an audience. Where to chase novels, go fast, and go fast

For Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui, this time in Beijing is no longer a matter of people, and the dragon chair in the Jinluan Hall has changed owners, and they have a different taste in their hearts.

Compared with Zhu Gaoxu, Zhu Gaosui has always been low-key, but in the twenty-first year of Yongle, his subordinates, the guard commander Meng Xian, did a shocking thing, wanting to collude with the Qintian supervisor Wang Shecheng and the inner servant Yang Qing's adopted son, taking advantage of the serious illness of Emperor Yongle, preparing to poison Emperor Yongle, and using a false edict to depose the crown prince Zhu Gaochi and establish him as the emperor.

It's a pity that Meng Xian and the others were denounced before they could do anything, and then lost their heads, if Zhu Gaochi pleaded, I am afraid that he would be killed by Emperor Yongle in ten places.

From this incident, it can be seen that Zhu Gaosui, like Zhu Gaoxu, is full of desire for the throne.

It's just that unlike Zhu Gaoxu, Zhu Gaosui is self-aware, he does not have Zhu Gaoxu's outstanding military exploits, nor does he have the support of the nobles of the court, so he has no idea of fighting for the throne.

The arrival of Zhu Gaochu made Lu Zhongqian, the governor of the Zuodu Governor's Mansion of the Later Army, and others very excited, and they visited Zhu Gaoxu's residence on the same day.

For Lu Zhongqian and others, Zhu Gaoxu is very enthusiastic, and the people who can come to see him now are definitely loyal and righteous people, thousands of times better than those wall grass that falls with the wind, and it is also an important support for him in the future.

The first person Zhu Gaoxu visited in the capital was naturally the British public Zhang Fu, who was friends with Zhang Fu's father Zhang Yu in life and death, and had a very good relationship with Zhang Fu, so he ranked first.

As for Zhu Gaoxu's second visitor, it was beyond everyone's expectations, he actually went to the Zhongguo Mansion and went to find Zhou Zheng, who had blocked him out of the city, to catch up, no matter how the two had a good friendship when they were martyred.

Speaking of which, Zhu Gaoxu does not hate Zhou Zheng, Zhou Zheng is loyal to the Ming Imperial Power, if he can come up with the "edict" one step earlier, then Zhou Zheng will decide to be loyal to himself.

Zhu Gaoxu came to visit Zhou Zheng, one is to reminisce about the past, and the other is to add blockage to Emperor Hong Xi's heart, Emperor Hong Xi was originally not at ease with the nobles, and now he is close to Zhou Zheng, who is the most trusted by Emperor Hong Xi, will definitely make Emperor Hong Xi unhappy, killing two birds with one stone.

Zhou Zheng is so easy to deal with, and as soon as Zhu Gaoxu left, he entered the palace to see Emperor Hong Xi, and repeated the conversation between the two as it was.

Emperor Hong Xi smiled after hearing this, and didn't say anything, but left Zhou Zheng to have dinner in the palace, and it could be seen that he was very satisfied with Zhou Zheng's appearance.

Unlike Zhu Gaoxu, Zhu Gaosui, the king of Zhao, stayed in his residence honestly, closed his door, and put on a posture of being indisputable.

When the civil and military officials were in the Taihe Palace, Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui met Emperor Hongxi, and Emperor Hongxi added 20,000 stones to the two of them, and rewarded tens of thousands of treasures to show the emperor's favor.

Li Yuntian, one of the courtiers, saw Zhu Gaoxu for the first time, and saw that he was similar to Emperor Yongle, tall and heroic, no wonder Emperor Yongle liked him before.

"Li Yushi stays!" After the dispersal of the court, Li Yuntian and his colleagues in the Metropolitan Procuratorate chatted and walked outside the palace, he was called in front of the Chengtian Gate, and when he looked up, a handsome young man in a dragon robe stood aside.

"His Royal Highness." Li Yuntian immediately recognized the person, Zhu Zhanqi, the son of the Han dynasty, and hurriedly bowed to him.

Since Emperor Hongxi ascended the throne, Zhu Zhanqi has remained in the capital, acting as a bridge between Zhu Gaoxu and the officials in the capital.

Emperor Hongxi once asked Zhu Zhanqi to return to the domain, but Zhu Zhanqi stayed on the grounds of filial piety to Emperor Yongle, and Emperor Hongxi could not stop Zhu Zhanqi from giving filial piety to Emperor Yongle.

"Li Yushi, my father wants to see you." Zhu Zhanqi smiled slightly, walked away, and did not wait for Li Yuntian's reply at all, a prince saw a little imperial history, does Li Yuntian have the qualifications to object?

Li Yuntian's brows furrowed slightly, and after saying goodbye to his colleagues on the side, he quickly followed, secretly thinking about King Han's intentions in his heart.

If the king of Han hates the most in the capital, Li Yuntian dares to say that if he admits that he is second, then no one dares to admit the first, an edict of Emperor Yongle made the king of Han, who originally had a great chance of winning, defeated, who does the king of Han hate if he doesn't hate him?

"It seems that Zhongguo Gong has found a good son-in-law, a talent, both civil and military." In the open space on the side of the Jinshui Bridge, Zhu Gaoxu, Lu Zhongqian and others were chatting and laughing there, and when they saw Li Yuntian coming, Zhu Gaoxu looked him up and down, and said to everyone with a smile.

"Wang Ye Miao praised, and the lower officials really didn't dare to be it." Li Yuntian bowed his hand to Zhu Gaoxu in a regular manner, judging from the shape in front of him, Zhu Gaoxu did not mean to ask for guilt.

Zhu Gaochu greeted Li Yuntian there with a kind attitude, which caused the courtiers in the past to look sideways, talk to each other in private, and discuss in whispers, feeling incredible about the scene in front of him, no matter who it seems, Li Yuntian is Zhu Gaoxu's enemy.

Li Yuntian has gradually felt that the shape is not good, Zhu Gaoxu's move will definitely cause misunderstanding, it is obvious that Zhu Gaoxu's purpose in doing this is not him, but his father-in-law Zhou Zheng.

In the eyes of outsiders, if Zhu Gaoxu and Zhou Zheng had a bad relationship in private, then how could they treat Li Yuntian so kindly?

Facing the situation in front of him, Li Yuntian couldn't help but feel depressed in his heart, the officialdom was full of dangers, although he was cautious, he still accidentally fell into a trap.

"Li Yushi's young talent is the pillar of my future Ming Dynasty, and this king appreciates it very much, so he wants to give Li Yushi a marriage." Just when Li Yuntian was dealing with it carefully, Zhu Gaoxu suddenly changed his tone and looked at him with a smile, "This king heard that the daughter of the magistrate of Wen'an County, Taiyuan Prefecture, Shanxi Province, is filial, knowledgeable, and dignified, so he wants to promote this golden and jade relationship, I don't know what Li Yushi means?" ”

"It is an honor for the prince to protect the media." Li Yuntian was startled when he heard this, Zhu Gaoxu was the media, he was completely thinking about tossing his back house, and in this way, he was also provoking the relationship between him and Emperor Hong Xi, because where did he dare to take this talk, he bowed to Zhu Gaoxu, and quietly refused this family business, "But the matter of taking concubines is not an official at home, and the lord of Yingrui County is the master." ”

The lord of Yingrui is Zhou Yuting, Zhu Gaoxugui is the prince, the younger brother of Emperor Hong Xi, it is Li Yuntian's honor to protect Li Yuntian, if he refuses, he will not know how to lift, despise the royal family, and even be arrogant, so he can only push Zhou Yuting out.

Although Zhou Yuting is not a member of the royal family, she won the title of imperial lord because of Emperor Yongle's love, and she is also the title of county lord, which is enough to confront Zhu Gaoxu in terms of identity.

"This is a good thing to spread out, and presumably the Wise County Lord will not object." Zhu Gaoxu immediately laughed when he heard this, in the face of his sudden attack, Li Yuntian calmly defused the offensive, no wonder Emperor Yongle would choose Li Yuntian to enter Beijing to send the edict.

Soon, Zhu Gaoxu led Lu Zhongqian and others away, he had already achieved his goal, and there was no need to act here anymore.

Looking at Zhu Gaoxu's distant back, Li Yuntian's brows furrowed slightly, Zhu Gaochu actually opened his mouth to protect the media, so he would definitely not be out of trouble, he must find a way to refuse this family business, otherwise the Li family's back house will not be peaceful, and the woman who can be selected by Zhu Gaoxu is probably not an idle person.

Because Zhu Gaochu coldly proposed to protect the media, Li Yuntian looked a little uneasy in the afternoon in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Zhu Gaochu will not be long in the capital this time and will return to Le'an to settle the domain, he will definitely have to take action against him in the next few days, he must find a way to deal with the trouble in front of him.

"King Han's trick is really high, firstly, it makes the emperor feel bad about you, secondly, to tell outsiders that he has a close relationship with his father-in-law, and thirdly, it can also make your house restless." In the evening, in the Zhongguo Mansion, Zhou Zheng said to Li Yuntian with a smile.

Fueled by well-intentioned people, Zhu Gaoxu's matter of protecting Li Yuntian's media spread all over the officialdom of the capital in one day, which made the civil and military officials quite surprised by this, and secretly pondered the taste.

"Lord Yue, my son-in-law is now riding a tiger and is in a dilemma." Li Yuntian looked at Zhou Zheng with a wry smile, if Zhu Gaoxu really wanted to promote this matter, he would be very passive, although he used Zhou Yuting as a shield, but this was not a long-term solution, and he didn't want to involve Zhou Yuting in such a thing.

"This family has endless troubles after the incident, and I can't take it no matter what." Zhou Zheng groaned for a moment and instructed in a deep voice.

If the King of Han is like King Zhao, then this family affair can still be considered, but now that the King of Han is not dead-minded and has close contacts with the ministers in the capital, once Li Yuntian accepts the "good intentions" of the King of Han, it will be a trouble sooner or later.

"This is exactly what the son-in-law intended, so he wanted Yuting to cooperate in acting in a play, so that King Han would give up this idea." Li Yuntian felt the same way, nodded at Zhou Zheng with a solemn expression, and resolutely made up his mind.

The next day, when Li Yuntian was reading the official documents with several imperial historians of Huguang Road in the public house of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, there was a sudden sound of messy footsteps outside the door.

"Li Yuntian, you get out of here for your aunt and grandmother." With the sound of footsteps, a coquettish voice full of anger sounded from the courtyard.

"Lady?" Li Yuntian immediately heard the owner of the voice, and hurriedly went out to check, and then stood at the door with a stunned face.

In the courtyard, Zhou Yuting, who was wearing a seven-sparkling crown on her head, a xia veil on her shoulders, and a coat, was angrily carrying a long sword, and behind her was Chen Ningning and Zheng Wanrou, who were dressed in a six-grade human life suit.

Because there is a distance from the gate of the Metropolitan Procuratorate to the public house on Huguang Road, many officials along the way were attracted by Zhou Yuting and others, and a large group of people followed and poured into the courtyard to watch the excitement.

The officials of the Huguang Road public house also walked out after hearing the noise, and they were all surprised when they saw the scene in front of them, and they couldn't figure out what kind of trouble this was, how did they break into a group of women, you must know that the Metropolitan Procuratorate is an important place in the capital, and the sergeant guarding the door doesn't know that this is Yan zhòng's dereliction of duty?

However, soon some people recognized Zhou Yuting's county lord Jifu and Chen Ningning and Zheng Wanrou's He'an life suit, no wonder the doorkeepers at the door let these women in, they couldn't afford to provoke the county lord at all.

"Lady, why are you here?" Even the officials of Huguang Road Public Housing had not seen Li Yuntian's family, so Li Yuntian greeted him under the surprised gaze of everyone and asked Zhou Yuting with a surprised expression.

"Grandma is going to cut you today, a heartless man who likes the new and hates the old, and when she got married, she said it soundly, and the back house is run by the lord of the county, and it has only been two years that you want to take a concubine privately, do you really think that your aunt and grandmother are easy to bully?" Zhou Yuting raised her eyebrows, lifted the long sword in her hand and slashed at Li Yuntian. One
