Chapter 56 The harem of one dynasty and two emperors is unpredictable
"Xu Aiqing....." Zhu Qiyu thought for a long time and finally spoke to Xu Pu. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info "Now that the imperial brother has returned to the court, if he has been placed in Nangong, I am afraid... People in the world will say that I am under house arrest. After all, he is only 23 years old now. Zhu Qiyu looked at the green smoke of ambergris rising in the incense burner, and said thoughtfully.
Xu Pu looked at the young emperor in front of him, and his face was full of sorrow, and he didn't realize that there was a trace of pity in his heart. I have to admit that since Zhu Qiyu ascended the throne, he has indeed sat on the throne than Emperor Taishang, he is more decisive than Zhu Qizhen in the world, and he knows how to kill and make decisions in the court. But now if the Emperor of Nangong is idle, it is indeed unreasonable. But this imperial power, Emperor Jingtai on that seat can never be divided into half a point. Xu Pu thought for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, now that the Emperor Taishang has returned to the court, there are some important things that need to be discussed with the emperor according to common sense." It's better for you to divide some government affairs and share your hard work. Second, the world will praise it. ”
"What Xu Aiqing said is reasonable, but which part of the government affairs do you think it is appropriate for me to assign to the imperial brother?" Zhu Qiyu looked at Xu Pu and asked. Since the day the emperor came back, what he was most concerned about was the attitude of this important minister, and he was afraid from the bottom of his heart that there would be ministers who fell to the side of the imperial brother again, after all, he was a concubine, after all, his mother was not as urban and far-sighted as the Empress Dowager Sun.
Cao Jixiang, who was standing behind him, hurriedly went out and brought hot water to add tea to the emperor, if he had been standing in a daze at this time, he was afraid that it would not be good for him. This emperor is very suspicious. When Cao Jixiang poured tea when it was cold, he was so shocked that hot water splashed on the table of the golden silk nanmu. He was so frightened that he quickly knelt down.
"Tsk.... Grandpa Cao, you! Zhu Qiyu frowned annoyedly. Could it be that this Cao Jixiang has also started to get upset because of the return of the imperial brother?" Go down! Go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and get the punishment! ”
"Yes." Cao Jixiang fled out of the Qianqing Palace. If you go to the Internal Affairs Office and get a few strokes of the board at most, if you listen to something you shouldn't hear, I'm afraid that your life won't be saved. Alas! Who made him a person who was the emperor's side? In such a cold weather, he subconsciously touched his forehead, and it turned out to be sweaty.
"Father-in-law Cao, why are you coming to receive the punishment again?" Xu Youzhen greeted Cao Jixiang with a smile. Since the day Zhu Qiyu was in prison, he put forward the idea of moving the capital, and was ridiculed by the ministers. Fengtian Temple made another big mess, and the courtiers killed Wang Zhen's comrade Ma Shun, and he was demoted all the way. It wasn't until he pleaded with Xu Pu several times and changed the previous Xu Huo to Xu Youzhen to express his loyalty to Emperor Jingtai that he finally arranged the post of secretary of the Internal Affairs Office. Today, seeing Cao Jixiang running upside down to receive the punishment again, this is the first time he has come over countless times since Zhu Qiyu took power, and he can't help but have a kind of sympathy in his heart.
"Ahem.... Lord Xu, don't laugh at me. We are the emperor now, but it is very difficult to serve. Hurry up and finish the board, and I'll go back to my nest and settle down. Cao Jixiang spread his hands helplessly.
Xu Youzhen seemed to understand Cao Jixiang's difficulty and said inside: "Father-in-law Cao, get 10 boards." Give me a little more leisurely in your hand.
Cao Jixiang skillfully lay on the stool and bit a towel in his mouth, "Come on." In the Internal Affairs Mansion, the sound of the board hitting the meat was particularly loud, but Xu Youzhen seemed to be thinking about something outside. The Emperor Taishang is back, and he can't forget the Emperor's support for him before, compared to today's days, his life at that time can be described as very nourishing.
Xu Pu had already left the Qianqing Palace, sitting in the sedan chair back home, and the rare raindrops outside were blown in by the cold wind, adding to the chill. Tonight's secret conversation with the emperor, although the foreign affairs and government affairs that are not tight are divided to the emperor, but once two young emperors, the fight may be a matter of time. Xu Pu closed his eyes tiredly, he didn't want to think too much at this time, no matter what, as a courtier of the Ming Dynasty, he already had a clear conscience. As for the struggle for imperial power, he really didn't bother to get involved.
"Say hello to the Holy Empress Dowager!" Zhu Qizhen knelt on his knees in front of the Empress Dowager Sun, he was finally able to meet his mother in private, and as expected, he hugged his head and cried. Zhu Qizhen's tears couldn't stop flowing, indescribable remorse and sorrow. Empress Dowager Sun wiped her tears for her son, held his face and looked at it: "My emperor has finally returned safely!" Is there suffering in Warak? Son! You've lost a lot of weight. ”
"The Queen Mother! It's all the child's fault! It is the child who lives up to the expectations of the queen mother, and it is the child who suffers after harming the mother! Zhu Qizhen hugged his mother like a child and cried bitterly, he really endured it for too long, for more than a year, he suppressed all his emotions in his heart, and today he can finally cry out freely.
Zhu Jianshen hid behind Ruoxue timidly, looking at his father's gaffe in front of the emperor's grandmother, he held Ruoxue's hand tightly, the four-year-old didn't understand why his father, who had been separated for a year, cried so aggrieved, but he may understand a little, that is, his father was not the emperor for a long time, could it be that his father cried because he couldn't be the emperor? What's so good about the emperor, he only needs his sister Wan and the imperial grandmother to accompany him, so he won't cry like this. Thinking of this, Zhu Jianshen raised his head again and looked at Ruoxue. Today's Ruoxue, wearing a silver cotton jacket, reflects the fair skin like a layer of light. Zhu Jianshen unconsciously looked stupid again.
"Your Majesty! Emperor! You're back! Queen Qian, supported by Cuiliu, stumbled in. I saw her groping and kneeling down, "Your Majesty!" The concubine is waiting for you, waiting for you, it's so bitter! "A pair of lost eyes were full of tears.
"Queen?!" Zhu Qizhen couldn't help but be shocked when he looked at Queen Qian, who was tortured and unhuman. He trembled and stretched out his hand and shook it in front of Queen Qian, who didn't react at all and just cried blindly.
"Queen! What's wrong with your eyes?! Tell me! Who made you like this! Zhu Qiyu's heart suddenly rose with anger, he went to the north to hunt, his mother couldn't even live in Cining Palace, not to mention moving to the prince's palace to live together, even his queen was blind. Zhu Qiyu, is this how you came to repay me for giving way to you? By the way, where did his Zhou Guifei go? Why haven't you seen Zhou Guifei all the time?
"The Queen Mother! What about Zhou Guifei? It's been a day since the emperor came back, why didn't he see Shen'er's mother? Zhu Qizhen secretly felt that Zhou Guifei must have something ominous in his heart, so he pretended to ask calmly.
"Emperor. You just returned to the palace, don't worry too much about this harem matter. Zhou Guifei ......., "Empress Dowager Sun wanted to slowly tell her emperor about the changes in the palace, but this Queen Qian, who can only do bad things, broke in so recklessly. If he talks about Zhu Qizhen today, how should he get along with Zhu Qiyu in the future? With only his simple heart, how can he calmly take back everything he has little by little in the palace?
Empress Dowager Sun glared at Queen Qian fiercely and said, "Zhen'er.... Go and make me a cup of tea. ”
