"What's going on?"

After listening to Zhu Youxiao's question, Chen Hong was also confused, and hurriedly said: "Back to the emperor, the slave and maid don't know what's going on, why don't the slave and maid let someone check it?" ”

"Forget it, no need." Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and said in a casual tone.

Although he didn't know what was going on, Zhu Youxiao was sure that this matter had nothing to do with the British public Zhang Weixian, and this old guy must be doing something wrong. Xu Xi is not crazy, how could he come here to do this?

After pondering for a moment, Zhu Youxiao said: "Tell the news to the British Duke and see how he reacts." Block the news and don't let the people below spread the word. ”

"Yes, my lord, the slave will arrange it." Chen Hong hurriedly agreed.

He could also see that his emperor was really angry this time, and his mood was not very high. If there is something negligent at this time, it will become the emperor's punching bag.

You can't make that mistake.

The news quickly reached the ears of the British duke, and Zhang Weixian's face was full of disbelief.

In any case, Zhang Weixian didn't expect that he was actually put on a position by Xu Xi. At this time, his face was gloomy and terrifying, and the anger in his heart was already full, and he really wanted to find Xu Xi and kill him with a knife.

What the hell is the stupidity of what the hell is going on? Isn't this looking for death?

If Xu Xi writes the question book according to what he says, and then signs it by himself, and the two of them hand the question book together, the meaning of this matter will be different.

The two princes advocated together, and it can be said that Xungui has the will to do so. At the same time, take the lead and turn this matter into a group event.

But now that Xu Xi went by himself, he directly stabbed this matter to His Majesty, which became Xu Xi's own will.

It is important to know that the will of the individual is not the same as the will of the collective.

It is safer to hide in the midst of a collective encirclement; At the same time, it is easier to use the power of the collective.

If you come out alone, you can easily become cannon fodder. At the same time, His Majesty would not want to see someone come out alone, especially someone like Xu Xi.

Zhang Weixian stood up helplessly, forced to calm his anger, and then turned around and walked towards Xiyuan.

Since the matter has come out, it is useless for him to strangle Xu Xi. At this point, I can only go to His Majesty.

Thinking about how to tell His Majesty along the way, Zhang Weixian soon came to the West Garden.

After seeing Chen Hong, Zhang Weixian hurriedly said: "Father-in-law Chen, how is it today?" ”

Seeing Zhang Weixian, Chen Hong sighed in his heart.

This matter really has something to do with the British public, and it seems that His Majesty is not wrong, he should stay away from the British public, so as not to spread His Majesty's anger and affect him.

Although he really wanted to stay away from the British Father, the smile on Chen Hong's face was still bright, "Thanks to the blessing of Grandpa Guo, life is quite passable." ”

Chen Hong said with a smile: "Grandpa Guo entered the palace today, but he asked to see His Majesty?" ”

Chen Hong didn't want to say anything more to Zhang Weixian now, so he took the initiative to change the topic.

Zhang Weixian looked at Chen Hong, and originally wanted to find out a little bit of news from this eunuch, but seeing Chen Hong's appearance, Zhang Weixian knew that Chen Hong must know something, but he would never tell himself.

With Chen Hong's status in the palace today, there are not many things that can be hidden from him, and his showing this attitude is an obvious refusal. If it weren't for the fact that the matter was too big, Chen Hong would not have this attitude.

This made Zhang Weixian's heart sink, so he hurriedly said: "There are some things to present to Your Majesty." ”

Chen Hong nodded and said, "Then the grandfather of the country will come with our family!" ”

After hearing this, Zhang Weixian was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "What does my father-in-law mean by this?" ”

"Your Majesty is already waiting for the prince." Chen Hong said with a smile: "Your Majesty has just explained that if Grandpa Guo arrives, there is no need to pass it on, just bring Grandpa Guo directly." ”

Listening to Chen Hong's words, Zhang Weixian became even more angry in his heart, but it was Xu Xi who was angry.

Sure enough, it was something that was not enough to succeed and more than to lose, and he was almost cheated by him!

If I hadn't reacted in time and came directly to the palace, this time it would have been bad!

"Then there is Father-in-law Lao." Zhang Weixian smiled and arched his hand to Chen Hong and said.

"The prince is polite." Chen Hong said with a smile, and at the same time turned around to lead the way in front.

The two of them walked all the way to the lake in Xiyuan and saw Zhu Youxiao.

Because the weather is getting warmer, Zhu Youxiao can come out to wave again.

After holding it all winter, his whole body looked like it was rusty, so Zhu Youxiao was now lying on a rocking chair by the lake, fishing with a fishing rod in his hand. As for whether you can catch it, that's two words.

After seeing this scene, Zhang Weixian breathed a sigh of relief. Apparently His Majesty was angry, but it didn't seem to be that serious.

Coming straight to Zhu Youxiao's side, Chen Hong said softly: "Emperor, the British Duke is here." ”

Gently picking his eyelids, Zhu Youxiao glanced at Chen Hong, then at Zhang Weixian, who was standing not far behind him, nodded and said, "Let him come over." ”

After a short time, Zhang Weixian walked in front of Zhu Youxiao, and hurriedly bowed down and said, "Minister Zhang Weixian, see Your Majesty." ”

"Okay, there's no need for so many courtesies here." Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and said, and at the same time instructed Chen Hong: "Move a stool for the British duke." The British public is not too young, and it hurts to stand and talk. ”

"Thank you Your Majesty for your concern." Zhang Weixian hurriedly said.

When Chen Hong moved the stool and Zhang Weixian also sat down, Zhu Youxiao said, "Is there anything wrong with Aiqing entering the palace?" ”

"Your Majesty, the minister is here to ask for sin." Zhang Weixian hurriedly said.

After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao smiled, put down the fishing rod in his hand directly, and said in a gentle tone: "What's wrong today, nothing happened to this court, right?" Or am I mean? Why did all of them come to plead guilty? As soon as Dingguo Gong left, you came, let's talk about it. ”

When Zhang Weixian heard this, he scolded Xu Xi again in his heart, and then said: "Your Majesty, what the minister wants to say is actually related to Dingguo Gong. The day before yesterday, the Duke of Dingguo went to the minister's mansion and said some things. ”

"Dingguo Gong said that during this time, he wanted to do something to be loyal to His Majesty. Of the three princes in the capital, two entered the staff office, and only he did not enter the staff office, he wanted to ask the minister why, but His Majesty was dissatisfied with what he did? As a courtier, the minister naturally did not dare to figure out the holy will. ”

Zhu Youxiao glanced at Zhang Weixian and didn't speak, but his eyes said everything.

This glance made Zhang Weixian look very embarrassed.

Zhang Weixian's face was a little red, but he still stubbornly continued: "At that time, the minister said that the minister didn't know about it, and the minister didn't care. However, Dingguo Gonglai didn't leave the minister's house, and he also moved out of the affairs of the elders, and the minister really had no choice. ”

"No way, you just gave him such an idea?" Zhu Youxiao turned his head to look at Zhang Weixian, and said in a somewhat aggravated tone.

"Your Majesty, this idea of asking for guilt is not from a minister." Zhang Weixian hurriedly stood up, and said very anxiously in his tone: "This is completely the decision of Dingguo Gong, and it has nothing to do with the ministers." ”

"Really?" Zhu Youxiao asked with a little doubt.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Zhang Weixian hurriedly explained: "At that time, the minister was thinking about the affairs of the staff office, thinking about what the staff office should do next, and the minister thought of occupying the nest. ”

"In recent years, the imperial court has been nervous, but those salt merchants have made a lot of money. Using these salt merchants, the nobles and relatives of the imperial court wantonly collected money, which really damaged the dignity of the imperial court, and at the same time made the treasury lose money and made the imperial court have no money to use. The minister thought about rectifying this matter. ”

Dingguo Gong begged to go to the minister's house, and the minister told him about it. At that time, the minister told Dingguo Gong to ask him to go back and write an inscription, and when the time came, the minister also signed his name, and the two of us jointly asked for this matter. First, it can win over some of the nobles, and secondly, it can be regarded as a decision to win the prince of the country and give him a chance to make contributions to His Majesty and the country. ”

"But who would have thought that Dingguo Gong would be so ...... him"

Speaking of which, Zhang Weixian couldn't go on, he was panting angrily, this was not because he deliberately showed it, but he was really angry.

"You've got a good plan." Zhu Youxiao snorted coldly and said.

"The minister is guilty." Zhang Weixian hurriedly knelt on the ground and said.

"Alright, get up!" Zhu Youxiao sighed, waved his hand and said, "I'm not the kind of person who doesn't care about human feelings, although what you did was inappropriate, I can understand it." ”

"Dingguo Gong came to me and said that the nest in the house was very serious, and he only found out in the past few days, so he wanted to return the money."

Listening to Zhu Youxiao's words, Zhang Weixian scolded in his heart.

Sure enough, it's a fool, this is the mud can't hold up the wall!

You said that you are not good at learning anyone, you learn Zhu Chunchen to do things, if this news spreads, you will be scolded to death!

Although the Zhuang Tian tax is also a cut of meat, it is a small amount of money after all.

This salt money, this is really a lot of money, how many people hate you if you do this?

If you say it openly, it still occupies a righteous name. Even if someone is dissatisfied, they don't dare to say anything on the surface; If it continues to be forcefully promoted, those people can only endure it.

Now take this head yourself, what if Your Majesty doesn't push? Have you not buried yourself? What will those people do to you then?

Do you really think that the title of the Duke of Guo can stabilize Mount Tai?

If you really offend someone and die of sinning, you will die the same way.

Do things with power in your hands, and when power is in your hands, no one dares to oppose you; When you don't have the power, you're done.

Now that there is no righteous name and no power, isn't this death?

"Your Majesty, this is really not something that the minister asked Dingguo Gong to do. The minister just wanted to rectify the nobles and relatives, they have gone a little too far over the years, causing the court to ignore it and indulge in lust all day long, which is really a shame on the ancestors. ”

Zhang Weixian hurriedly said: "But who would have thought that Dingguo Gong would do such a thing for personal gain!" ”
