Soon, Xu Guangqi was the first to finish eating. After all, after a busy night, I was already hungry.

Chen Hong saw that everyone was full, so he beckoned back and let people serve tea.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please rest here." After Chen Hong left this sentence, he returned to Zhu Youxiao's side.

Zhu Youxiao gently put down the chopsticks in his hand, picked up the tea and rinsed his mouth, took the silk handkerchief in Chen Hong's hand and wiped his mouth, and then slowly stood up.

"I heard it was lively outside last night." Zhu Youxiao looked at Chen Hong and asked with a smile.

"Yes, Your Majesty. Last night...... "Chen Hong naturally didn't dare to hide it, and told everything that happened last night, and didn't dare to omit it at all.

As the emperor's henchman, Chen Hong knew that the emperor was doing a big thing this time, and he didn't want to make a mistake in his own place. The errand is done, and it is a matter of course; If you mess up, you'll have to walk away without eating.

Nodding slightly, Zhu Youxiao asked, "Elder Xu Ge, have they already eaten well?" ”

"Back to the emperor, I've already eaten." Chen Hong hurriedly said, "I'm drinking tea now." ”

"Then let's go meet them." Zhu Youxiao nodded, turned around and walked outside.

When Zhu Youxiao arrived, Xu Guangqi and the others had indeed finished breakfast.

After a busy night, after breakfast, their spirits are better, and now they are drinking tea to make themselves more energetic. There are too many things to do, and there is no way to rest, not to mention that you have to face the saint later, and you can't show a tired look.

Seeing Zhu Youxiao walk in, Xu Guangqi and the others hurriedly stood up and saluted respectfully: "The ministers see Your Majesty." ”

While speaking, Xu Guangqi and the others secretly looked at His Majesty from the corner of their eyes.

After all, His Majesty was assassinated yesterday, although Chen Hong said that His Majesty had nothing to do, Xu Guangqi and others were still not at ease.

Now that there is indeed nothing to do with His Majesty, Xu Guangqi and they finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Seeing the appearance of a few people, Zhu Youxiao said with a smile: "Aiqing don't worry, if there is really something, I won't hide it from you Aiqing." You are all my confidants, there is nothing I can't tell you, and you are also worthy of my entrustment. ”

These words are already very heavy, and they also show Zhu Youxiao's trust in Xu Guangqi.

Xu Guangqi and the others hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, please wait." ”

"Sit down." Zhu Youxiao waved his hand, said in a casual tone, and sat down first.

After Xu Guangqi and the others sat down, Zhu Youxiao continued: "The city has settled down, right? ”

Xu Guangqi said: "Back to Your Majesty, you have settled down. Huang Ge Lao and his people have already captured the thieves, and now they have all been handed over to Jinyiwei. Jin Yiwei is in the trial, and I believe that there will be a result soon. ”

"The city is also stable, and officials at all levels are stabilizing people's hearts. The soldiers in the city are also very safe, and the British duke has already inspected the whole city, so there is no problem. ”

Zhu Youxiao nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "You Aiqing have worked hard. ”

"It's all a courtier's duty." Xu Guangqi and the others hurriedly said.

"Needless to say, since the situation has stabilized, then you Aiqing should also go back and rest." Zhu Youxiao looked at Xu Guangqi and the others, and said with a smile: "It's just a few wishful thinking, there is no need to be so popular." ”

Zhu Youxiao's tone was very light. It doesn't seem to have taken this matter to heart at all.

This made several ministers move in their hearts, and then they also breathed a sigh of relief. is worthy of His Majesty, this open-mindedness and courage show the emperor's mind.

"You Aiqing have also been busy all night, go back and take a good shower and sleep. You are all important ministers of the country, and you are not young anymore, but don't break your body because of these young people, that is the loss of my Daming. You Aiqing are much more important than them. Zhu Youxiao said with concern on his face: "If there is anything uncomfortable, I will immediately ask the imperial doctor to show you." ”

"Your Majesty cares." Xu Guangqi and the others hurriedly said.

Although I was still a little unwilling in my heart, I still wanted to continue to be busy, but His Majesty had already said so, and Xu Guangqi and the others naturally had to abide by it. In addition, the situation has indeed stabilized, and I can go back and rest.

Then the minister and the others retired. If there's anything, I'll come back later. Xu Guangqi and the others hurriedly said.

"Go, go, go back and get some rest." Zhu Youxiao said with a smile.

After seeing Xu Guangqi and them leave, Zhu Youxiao stood up, turned his head to look at Chen Hong and said, "Is King Lu here?" ”

King Lu still has to solve it, otherwise King Lu will be scared to death.

"Back to the emperor, King Lu is already waiting." Chen Hong nodded and said.

Leaving this room, Zhu Youxiao returned to the dormitory.

King Lu is already waiting here at the door.

Seeing Zhu Youxiao walking in from the outside, King Lu knelt on the ground with a plop, and the whole person was frightened, and said with tears in his eyes: "Your Majesty, the minister is guilty!" The minister really didn't want to rebel, Your Majesty! ”

Last night, King Lu slept soundly and felt that the matter had passed. Who would have thought that coming together this morning would see everything change.

The two of his closest subordinates have become thieves, and they actually went to assassinate His Majesty, which is simply dead!

When I woke up this morning, the way everyone looked at themselves had changed. Those brocade guards and soldiers were eager to eat themselves alive.

Everywhere I went, I saw fierce eyes.

This really frightened King Lu. What have you done?

Seeing that King Lu was so frightened that his legs and feet were weak, although he was very helpless in his heart, Zhu Youxiao still walked over and helped King Lu up with his own hands.

After King Lu stood up, Zhu Youxiao comforted softly: "King Lu doesn't have to be like this, I don't believe you." I know what King Lu is like, and you will never be able to do such a thing. ”

King Lu's stupidity Zhu Youxiao knew, and at the same time, he also knew that King Lu was willing to give half of his family property to himself, and he also wanted to collect some good things to give to himself, and felt that he was wronged by eating four dishes and one soup.

If you cultivate it well, King Lu may be a talent. It's just that the Ming Dynasty raised so many vassal kings, and they were basically raised as pigs.

They don't have the rights of the palace, and everything in the palace is up and down the long history. If the vassal king is too deeply involved, he will be impeached.

Therefore, the vassal kings didn't care about anything, they ate and drank all day long, and they also raised themselves as pigs. After a long time, there is no wisdom in my heart, and there is no officialdom.

They have been raised in high walls since childhood, and I am afraid they do not know what kind of folk suffering they have. Why not eat minced meat, it is estimated that it is not an exception for the vassal king of the Ming Dynasty, but some people will say so.

In such a situation. Zhu Youxiao really didn't have the heart to blame King Lu.

What about punishing King Lu?

You can't clean up all the princes of the Ming Dynasty.

You must know that this is a feudal society, and the emperor is not only the emperor of the world, but also the patriarch of the clan. In this era when the concept of clan is very important, as a patriarch, it is natural to take good care of his clansmen. Go to Audiobook.com

Otherwise, it will cause criticism and even be rejected by others. These are the values of this era.

Even if you want to do something, you have to do it in private, and you must not publicize it.

If Zhu Youxiao really vigorously punishes the vassal king, he is likely to lose the hearts of the people, just like Zhu Yunwen who cut the feudal domain back then.

Isn't Zhu Yunwen the emperor? Doesn't he take advantage of righteousness?

But so what?

Zhu Yunwen was too harsh on his uncle, which led to the loss of popularity.

After King Yan rebelled, he took over the world.

In addition to the reason for Zhu Yunwen's lack of ability, more is that he has lost people's hearts.

In the eyes of the people of the world, the princes have no intention of rebelling. On the contrary, Zhu Yunwen treats his uncle like this, for everyone in the world, he treats his uncle like this, how cold is such an emperor? What to expect?

Some time ago, Zhu Youxiao confiscated the land property of Lao Fu Wang, and the people of the world did not say anything. After all, Lao Fu Wang's reputation is not good, the most important thing is that he took Lao Fu Wang into the capital, deposed Lao Fu Wang's title, but passed his title to his son, which is a very acceptable thing for the public.

If Zhu Youxiao kills Lao Fuwang now, I am afraid that there will be an uproar in public opinion. When the time comes, they will say that Zhu Youxiao will have everything, and it will not be a good word, and they will be packaged as a mean and unkind emperor.

Although Zhu Youxiao has done a lot of things after he ascended the throne, there are still courtiers who are loyal to him, and a large part of the reason is that Zhu Youxiao uses them to do things and use them to take the blame, but he never uses them to top the tank.

If something really happens, Zhu Youxiao will protect them, which is very important.

King Lu wants to clean up and teach a lesson, but he can't kill them all.

Looking at King Lu's crying appearance, Zhu Youxiao said with a smile: "It doesn't have to be like this, how can I blame King Lu for what my subordinates do?" What's more, Changshi is an official of the imperial court, and it is still unknown to me who I employ. ”

Hearing Zhu Youxiao's words, King Lu hurriedly said: "It's the minister's fault!" ”

"Okay, okay, we're all family, so there's no need to talk about this." Zhu Youxiao stretched out his hand and patted King Lu, said with a smile, and at the same time pulled King Lu to the house, and asked King Lu to sit down with a smile.

After King Lu sat down, Zhu Youxiao said: "This time the stakes are very high, I am afraid that King Lu will suffer some criticism, but don't take it to heart." ”

"I know very well that King Lu is a person, and I will never do such a rebellious thing. Therefore, King Lu can also put his heart in his stomach, I am not a faint king who does not know how to distinguish between right and wrong. ”

"Your Majesty Shengming, Your Majesty's benefactors are grateful." King Lu hurriedly said, tears falling down his eyes.

Under the great joy and sorrow, this emotion is a little unbearable.

When Zhu Youxiao comforted King Lu, another big man came to Jining City.

This person is from Qufu, and it is the contemporary Yansheng Gong Kong Yinzhi.

For Kong Yinzhi, who had just inherited the title, he had no confidence in his heart when he encountered such a thing this time. However, it is impossible to be afraid, and the court will not do anything to him, so it can be regarded as fearless.

When he came to Jining City, Kong Yinzhi found that the atmosphere here seemed to be a little different, and the whole city was nervous.

The gates were never opened.

It wasn't until about noon that the gates were opened. Even so, the inventory of entry and exit is very strict.

Kong Yinzhi sat in the carriage, looked around, and instructed his subordinates: "Go and inquire and see what happened, why is Jining so nervous?" ”

"Yes." After his subordinates agreed, they hurriedly turned around and inquired.

By this time someone had already come out of the city. As long as you ask, you will be able to receive the news quickly.

Soon, his subordinates turned around and told Kong Yinzhi about the matter.

The young Yan Shenggong frowned, and suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.

If things are fine, maybe there is no big problem; But now that Jining has rebelled, there is a major event of rebellion, and this matter is relatively big.

For emperors of any generation, rebellion is the least tolerable.

The most important thing is that this matter involves the Lu Wangfu, and at the same time, it also involves the White Lotus Sect, and most importantly, it also involves the embezzlement of disaster relief food.

Although Kong Yinzhi has just taken over the Yan Shenggong Mansion, many things are still understood.

You must know that Kong Yinzhi's uncle has no heirs, so the family has been cultivating Kong Yinzhi since he was a child. Although he is not a genius, he is not a gentleman.

Under such circumstances, Kong Yinzhi quickly realized that things were probably in trouble.

Because the degree of involvement in this matter in the family is not shallow, if His Majesty really investigates it with an iron heart, I am afraid that the Yansheng Mansion will not be able to eat and walk around.

But now is not the time to think about this, what the result will be, after all, I will not know until I see His Majesty. It's time to think of a solution.

So Kong Yinzhi said: "Invite my father to my carriage, and let's go into the city." ”

The subordinates agreed, and hurriedly went to make arrangements.

After a short time, a middle-aged man walked over and got into the carriage directly.

Glancing at Kong Yinzhi, the middle-aged Kong Shangtan said: "This is about to enter the city, what's the matter with calling my father over?" ”

"Back to my father, something happened in Jining City." Kong Yinzhi hurriedly said, and then he didn't dare to hide it, and told his father all the news that his subordinates had called.

In the end, Kong Yinzhi said with some worry: "I'm afraid that this time Your Majesty is not good." ”

Listening to his son's words, Kong Shangtan said with a smile: "I thought something was wrong." Even if His Majesty blames it, it is nothing more than spending some money. ”

"Your subordinates are not reliable, and they have done such a thing, it is really humiliating, you should ask for guilt, you should admit your mistakes, punish these people severely, you should lose money, you should give food and food, and there is nothing else."

Kong Shangtan said with a smile: "We are the Yansheng Mansion, the world has changed, and we have always been standing." Not to mention, you don't have to worry too much about such things. ”

In Kong Shangtan's view, his son has such worries, which is nothing more than his young age. The son had just ascended to the position of Yan Shenggong, and he hadn't reacted for a while. After a long time, there will be no such problem.

Kong Shangtan is very clear about the things in the family. The eldest brother has no son, and he has been a little disheartened in the past few years, so Kong Shangtan has always been in charge of the affairs of the family.

Now that the eldest brother is dead, Kong Shangtan's son has inherited the title of Yan Shenggong, Kong Shangtan is just when he is complacent, so he naturally won't take this kind of thing to heart, so he also said this kind of thing, and his tone was very relaxed.

Glancing at his father, Kong Yinzhi was a little helpless.

I'm afraid things won't be as simple as my father thought.
