Although he secretly returned to Beijing, the first thing after setting foot in Nanjing City, Zhu Wenqi still ran into the palace for an audience.

Zhu Wenqi still knows what kind of person his father is, and he also knows that he wants to secretly not be discovered under the nose of his own father in Nanjing, which is an unrealistic thing at all, and it is better to be generous than to be secretive.

"The sons see their father, and the saint bows to Jin'an."

The East Warm Pavilion is still the East Warm Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace in my memory, but it feels a lot more deserted than before I left, the empty and empty ones are too much less popular, and they are as quiet as a pool of stagnant water.

Zhu Wenqi knelt on the ground and respectfully kowtowed to Zhu Yunwen before getting up, the only thing he could see in his eyes was his father's normal desk approval, and beside him, there was always that shadow-like double happiness.

Outside the warm pavilion, a row of sculptural eunuchs and eunuchs, empty corridors, and quiet needles can be heard clearly.

"Sit down."

Zhu Yunwen didn't look up, he allowed Zhu Wenqi to sit down first, and said while criticizing the book: "I've been on the road for so many days, and I can't eat well on the road, so eat something first." ”

With Zhu Yunwen's explanation, this place can be regarded as 'alive', several palace ladies hurriedly left to prepare meals, and Zhu Wenqi in the room said thank you.

The father and son went back to quiet, and it was not until the meal came up that Zhu Wenqi finished eating, and Zhu Yunwen put down his pen and looked up.

Shaking his sour wrist, Zhu Yunwen left his seat and sat next to Zhu Wenqi: "Bastard boy, I ran back without saying hello this time, it was definitely not for those troubles you broke into in Quanzhou, let's talk about it, what are you going to do." ”

Knowing his son Mo Ruo's father, Zhu Yunwen gave his second son the right pulse, and his words hit the nail on the head: "Quanzhou made such a big fuss this time, you didn't have a piece of music to make a friend to me, but this time I ran back, if I didn't guess wrong, it must be for my own personal affairs." ”

Sure enough, Zhu Wenqi smirked a few times and scratched his head: "Father Emperor Shengming, ah no, the son is still out of public heart, and wants to report the affairs of Quanzhou in person." ”

But in this regard, Zhu Yunwen raised his hand to stop Zhu Wenqi's words, and chuckled indifferently.

"A Quanzhou, a big thing happens, for me, for the Ming Dynasty is nothing, Sun Hao sent me the account book, the total amount involved in the case is more than 130 million, and the tax evasion amount is only 28 million.

What to do is in the law of the country, I directly handed over these things to the cabinet, there is nothing to pay attention to and care about, Ge An has gone to Quanzhou with the joint team of the cabinet and the bank, Quanzhou is not in chaos, and the livelihood of 700,000 people in Quanzhou will not have the slightest turmoil, I am very relieved. ”

It is really not too easy to take Quanzhou with the volume of the current Ming Dynasty, this kind of thing stands at different heights, and the mind is naturally different.

The whole of Quanzhou took this big incident on the day of smuggling, and when it came to Zhu Yunwen, what was it?

"Compared to the Quanzhou smuggling case, I only care about one thing."

When he said this, Zhu Yunwen looked directly at Zhu Wenqi and said seriously: "You tell your father the truth, did you do Dou He's death?" ”

As soon as he heard this, Zhu Wenqi straightened up and knelt on the ground, straightened his waist and looked at Zhu Yunwen, his eyes were clear and firm: "Back to my father's words, Dou He's death, the son is indeed a major suspect, but it is definitely not what the son did it, and the son has no need to do so."

Whether the black curtain of smuggling up and down Quanzhou can be lifted depends on whether the central government has this determination, as His Majesty said, with the size of my Ming Dynasty, it is easy to protect the livelihood of the people in Quanzhou. ”

The warm pavilion fell silent again.

Zhu Yunwen looked at the second son in front of him, and he smiled for two minutes: "Okay, Lao Tzu believes you, get up." ”

"Thank you, Father."

Zhu Wenqi bowed his head, stood up, and said solemnly as soon as he sat down: "The assassination case of Dou He, the son-in-law will return to Quanzhou to strictly investigate, please rest assured that this case will be revealed, no matter how big or small the world's affairs are, this paper will never be able to contain the fire." ”

"No need."

In the face of Zhu Wenqi's request, Zhu Yunwen refused: "Wait for you to go back to Quanzhou, work with peace of mind, don't focus too much on this kind of shady conspiracy and trickery, your energy is focused on studying and thinking about work, whether it is now or in the future." ”

Is it really important how many ghosts are hidden behind the death of Dou He?

It may be important to Zhu Wenqi, and finding out and finding out clearly is conducive to his self-proof of innocence, which is a persistent narrow-minded view.

For Zhu Yunwen, it doesn't matter.

The purpose of arresting Dou and returning to Beijing is to thoroughly investigate the major smuggling case in Quanzhou, since the case has now been solved, according to the consequential point of view, this is enough, and the most important thing is to achieve the goal, as for what happened in the process, there is no need to waste energy to figure it out.

Anyway, in terms of Dou He's crime, the result of not being assassinated is also a dead end.

"This matter has been revealed, let's talk about the main purpose of your return to Beijing."

At this time, Zhu Yunwen had a kind smile on his face again, patted his son's shoulder, and there was encouragement in his eyes.

Meeting Zhu Yunwen's eyes, Zhu Wenqi's heart jumped violently, and he got up again and saluted: "The son has a beautiful woman in his heart, and I implore my father to give him a marriage." ”

Xiao Wenqi is also older, and when she reaches the age of Sichun and misses the girl, she clamored to start a family and marry a wife.

Zhu Yunwen stood up, and looked at the second son in front of him who was as tall as himself and had not yet fully grown up, and was a little stunned for a while.

"Lu Jinxi, the daughter of Lu Ying, the state guest of the Ministry of Rites."

Nanjing is very big, so big that it has more than a million mouths.

Nanjing is very small, so small that there is nothing that Zhu Yunwen does not know.

For his father to tell everything, Zhu Wenqi was not surprised at all.

"Yes, when Erchen was in school at the lakeside school, he occasionally met by chance when he wandered in Nanjing on holidays, and he had known each other for a year, and he was already in love, and this time he learned in Quanzhou that the Lu family intended to marry his daughter, so he rushed back in a hurry, and he was enthusiastic and hoped that his father would be fulfilled."

"She's not worthy of you."

As soon as Zhu Yunwen spoke, Zhu Wenqi's heart shook, and his face was anxious, but he still restrained himself and continued to listen to Zhu Yunwen's words.

"Your mother has not picked a lot of in-laws for you, maybe you can find a more suitable one, marry this girl now, don't regret it in the future."

The boss Zhu Wenkui married the daughter of a county order, which made Ma Enhui's boss unwilling, feeling that the door was not right.

Now Wenqi is also doing this, and it is even more outrageous, and he has come directly to a free love.

After these two children got off to a bad start, it will be difficult for Zhu Yunwen to restrict those younger brothers and sisters in the future.

"Although the sons and daughters don't understand the affairs of men and women, they also know the purity, and they don't want to think about selfishness."

Zhu Wenqi asked again in a firm tone: "No matter how suitable the concubine is, the sons and daughters don't like it, and I hope my father will be fulfilled." ”

"Haha."

Zhu Yunwen laughed, turned his head to look at Shuangxi on the side: "See, my son is similar to me, this performance reminds me of the day when you took me out of the palace in order to choose a concubine for me, but Wang Qian, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites at that time, was very embarrassed."

The upper beam is not correct and the lower beam is crooked, and Wenqi doesn't like the words of his parents' matchmakers. ”

"What did the emperor say?"

Shuangxi was a little unhappy: "Life should be based on the saint as a teacher, the second prince from the emperor's actions, shows that the second prince understands the foundation of the world, and can tell who is the true saint."

I don't like the words of the matchmaker of my parents, which is enough to show that the rules of the words of the matchmaker of my parents are bad habits.

Those so-called sages who advocate these bad habits are here for you, the emperor, and those are crooked and inferior. ”

This fart naturally made Zhu Yunwen feel more happy, although he waved his hands and was humble, he couldn't stop being proud.

In addition to being happy, there is naturally no reason to disallow Zhu Wenqi's request.

"Double happiness, you arrange it, let the imperial secretary prepare gifts in the next few days, and go to the Lu family to propose marriage."

said that he proposed marriage instead of directly giving marriage, which is also a kind of respect for Zhu Yunwen's woman.

It is possible to refuse to propose marriage, and to give marriage is not to be refused.

Although no one would be stupid enough to refuse such a proposal.

"Alright, go down and show up to your mother."

Looking at Zhu Wenqi with a happy face, Zhu Yunwen waved his hand angrily: "Hurry up and get out, don't be angry here." ”

"The son of the emperor retired, thanking his father for his enlightened grace."

The goal was achieved, and the happy Zhu Wenqi gave up his hand and retired, and left the Dongnuan Pavilion with brisk steps.

Waiting for Wenqi to leave, the smile on Shuangxi's face suddenly dissipated.

"Emperor, do you want the slave and maid to continue to investigate the Dou He case?"

Glancing sideways, Zhu Yunwen still shook his head.

"It's not necessary, it's not important, there is a way that is dark under the light, what's the point of checking too clearly, people always have some secrets, don't hurt your feelings in order to spy on these secrets, then it's not worth it."

The cellar is a place where the sun does not shine, but we still have to allow the cellar to exist and not abandon it because of its darkness, because of the need to store food and supplies. ”

The truth in black and white is of course important, but there are some things that are far more important than the truth.
