Chapter 564: Empress Zhou's Bait

"See His Royal Highness the Prince, see His Royal Highness King Ding......"

More than a quarter of an hour later, Concubine Yuan had almost left, and the brothers Zhu Cihong and Zhu Cijiong came to Xu Changqing's inner study.

However, although the brothers are noble, at this time they are different from the past, and they don't dare to snub these fierce soldiers, Zhu Cihong hurriedly laughed and said: "A few generals don't have to be polite, dare to ask, uncle has time now, there are some things in the palace, I want to discuss with my uncle ......"

Compared with Zhu Cijiong, who is already sensible and knows how to swoop down to integrate into the environment, the 'third prince' Zhu Cijiong is obviously still a little rebellious as a young man.

Seeing that his brother had already started talking, there was no room for him to speak, so he no longer hid it, but looked curiously at this huge building comparable to a palace.

It is different from the carved dragons and phoenixes of the Forbidden City, which are exquisite and exquisite.

Xu Changqing's inner study, most of the materials are made of stone, and the end is a magnificent atmosphere, which is lighter in terms of decoration.

However, the surrounding graceful corridors, the dense and orderly greenery of the large and small gardens in the front and back, and the many gentle wooden decorations, do not look too cold.

Zhu Cijiong couldn't say what it felt like for a while, but he felt that Xu Changqing's inner study was definitely stronger than the Forbidden City, and if it was slightly improved, it was like a fortress.

This also made him a little funny in his heart: "Xu Changqing is a thief, but he is also greedy for life and afraid of death!" ”

Just thinking about it, the soldiers hurriedly replied respectfully: "Prince, the marshal is taking a lunch break now, are you in a hurry?" ”

"Uh, no, no."

Zhu Cihong was a little confused, he didn't expect that the time had been calculated, but it was not the right time to come, but he remembered the expectant eyes of the queen mother when he left, and he was unwilling to go like this, he was entangled for a moment, and said with a smile: "This general, I don't know, I don't know how long the uncle's lunch break takes?" If it's okay, be alone and the king, just wait here for a while......"

Zhu Cijiong raised his eyebrows a little when he heard this, but he quickly calmed down, it's not bad to wait here for a while, just so that he can study this side carefully.

The commander of the pro-soldiers scratched his head and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince, this, this matter is not good. After all, Uncle has always been busy, and there is rarely time to rest. Why don't you two go back and rest first, and when the uncle wakes up, he will immediately pass through the uncle......"

"This ......"

Zhu Cihong thought for a while, and said with a smile: "It's okay." Let's wait here for a while. Uncle Zhongyi has been working on state affairs, and he is my great pillar, so it is normal to wait for my uncle to rest for a while. ”

Seeing that the two refused to leave, and it was not easy to drive them away, the commander of the pro-soldiers hurriedly invited them to the reception room of the official hall not far away, and immediately brought a few braziers and tea.

This official hall reception room is obviously not the main official hall, but the space is not small, almost seventy or eighty square meters, there are many magnificent landscape paintings hanging around, and there is a large weapon rack, which is decent at the same time, but also faintly hides a murderous aura.

In addition, this is a new house, no one has ever lived here, and even if there are a few braziers, the room is a little cold.

Zhu Cijiong drank a few sips of tea, and when he saw that no one paid attention to them anymore, he got up with great interest, checked the weapon rack, and was about to take a knife in his hand.

"Smack."

However, he thought that he could easily play with this knife, but he didn't expect that this knife looked ordinary, but it was much heavier than he thought, at least forty or fifty pounds.

He was so young that he was unstable, and the knife fell directly to the ground with a crisp sound.

That is, he reacted quickly, so he was not smashed on the foot, but he was taken aback, and said angrily: "What kind of broken knife is this, it is so heavy." ”

And this voice has already attracted the pro-soldiers on duty, and when they saw Zhu Cijiong actually messing with Xu Changqing's things, the pro-soldiers looked a little unkind.

After all, even though Zhu Cijiong's status is noble, this is Xu Changqing's territory, and he messed around without permission, which is obviously not the way of life.

Seeing that Zhu Cijiong was stupid and stupid and was about to fight with the pro-soldiers, Zhu Cihong hurriedly smiled and played a round and asked the pro-soldiers to withdraw first.

turned around, but couldn't help but change his face: "Third child, what do you want to do?" Be honest with Lonely! ”

Zhu Cijiong and Zhu Cijiong are compatriots of the same mother, but the relationship is not very good, seeing that his brother actually scolded him, his anger couldn't help but come up, and whispered: "What am I doing?" Is this still not my Ming world? Oh, you are a dignified prince, and you can only bully my younger brother! ”

"You?!"

Seeing that his own brother actually talked to him like this, especially the immature stubbornness, Zhu Cihong only felt a tightness in his chest, and he almost couldn't get up in one breath.

This stupid X, doesn't he know that if he and his mother have been swallowing their anger, he would have been finished a long time ago?!

Zhu Cihong really wanted to say this, so that this younger brother who didn't know the height of the sky could have a good memory, but when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed it back.

Here and now, is it not the place to speak, even if the third child is no longer sensible, is it his younger brother......

Seeing that Zhu Cihong confessed, Zhu Cijiong couldn't help but feel a little proud, and secretly said in his heart: "If this Ming Dynasty wants to prosper and cleanse these filths in the future, you still have to rely on a sharp young man like him!" ”

However, Zhu Cihong ignored him, he didn't dare to provoke Zhu Cihong for a while, and looked at the surrounding environment more curiously, but he didn't dare to mess around again.

However, they waited for most of the hour, but there was still no news.

Zhu Cijiong finally couldn't bear it anymore, and whispered: "Is this Xu Changqing a pig?" How long is he going to sleep? ”

Zhu Cihong finally couldn't bear this younger brother anymore, and said sharply: "Shut your dog's mouth, dare to say one more word, and get out of the way now!" ”

"You-"

Zhu Cijiong was about to get angry, and even wanted to make a move, but when he saw his brother's cold eyes, he suddenly felt a little chilled.

He is the crown prince, the prince, and the future emperor.

If he is really offended, then the queen mother may not be able to protect herself, in case she is sent to the corner......

Thinking about it, he sat down indignantly and said nothing.

At this time, in the inner study, the scorching temperature finally began to calm down......

Seeing Xu Changqing take out a bag of cigarettes, even though Yuan Guifei's legs were a little weak, she still stood up, carefully ignited the fire, and helped Xu Changqing light it.

Xu Changqing couldn't help but smile: "It's hard work." Wait, let's eat together. ”

Yuan Guifei still had a lot of sweat on her face, and her makeup was spent, and as soon as she heard this, Fang Xin instantly mentioned her throat and eyes, and said speechlessly: "You, are you crazy?" The crown prince and the king are still waiting outside......"

Xu Changqing smiled and casually hugged her warm waist: "It's okay." Help me clean up, I'll meet them, it'll be over soon. ”

“……”

Yuan Guifei was speechless for a while.

It's really never been so turbulent in my life like today......

However, looking at Xu Changqing's calm and calm appearance, she seemed to be unable to refute it, so she hurriedly adjusted her breathing, and carefully and quickly helped Xu Changqing clean up.

Looking at the Qianying in front of him, the corners of Xu Changqing's mouth couldn't help but curl slightly.

In Huaguo, the highest evaluation of a woman by the ancient sages is "Interpretation Flower".

Compared with Bumu Butai, or Li Youwei, Wu Sanmei, Gu Hengbo, and Tang Yu, Yuan Guifei's side is indeed slightly behind in some aspects.

However, she also has her strong strength, which is 'empathy......

In other words, if he was with Bumu Butai, even if he fell asleep, Xu Changqing would have half his eyes open, but with Yuan Guifei, Xu Changqing could be in a state of real and complete relaxation.

This is definitely the highest evaluation for a woman.

Not long after, when Xu Changqing went out, the commander of the personal soldiers on duty was busy whispering a few words in Xu Changqing's ear, Xu Changqing's brows couldn't help frowning slightly, but they quickly relaxed.

During this time, the soldiers seemed to have left a lot of space for Zhu Cihong's brothers, but in fact, they never escaped their eyes.

Need to know, politics. Struggle, at any time, is the cruelest thing in this world.

It is true that you yourself can be young and ignorant, but except for your own father, others do not regard you as a son, and give you a chance to make mistakes and make amends.

Xu Changqing couldn't help but be a little funny, this 'third prince' was a bit interesting.

"Minister Xu Changqing, I have seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and I have seen His Royal Highness King Ding."

"Eh, Uncle Zhongyi, no courtesy, no courtesy, speaking of which, it is lonely and abrupt, disturbing your rest, uncle."

"Hehe, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is very loving, and the ministers are grateful. By the way, I don't know why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is looking for ministers? ”

Here, during the greetings, Xu Changqing and Zhu Cihong sat down separately.

Zhu Cihong still maintains his honesty and humility, and the perverse Zhu Cijiong is also a lot more honest, his eyes are dripping, but he never dares to look at Xu Changqing head-on, he is completely a child who has not grown up but has been spoiled, and can only 'nest in the nest'.

"Oh, that's right."

Zhu Cihong hurriedly smiled and said, "Uncle, this moment, Kunxing is here...... It's all a little pretentious. Although it is the new funeral of my father at this time, this kind of thing cannot always be delayed...... It just so happens that today's matter of the emperor has been decided, and he is not in a hurry to do so. Lonely and the queen mother discussed, I want to ask the uncle what you mean, Kunxing here, when will you enter the door......"

Seeing Xu Changqing looking at him a little sharply, Zhu Cihong's heart suddenly tightened, and he explained with a smile: "Uncle, everything, is it wrong to say that the name is not right, and the meaning of the queen mother is to think, and also take this opportunity to let the nobles of Nanjing come to Haicheng...... After all, let's go to Nanjing, let's meet and sit down first, talk, and then we can have fewer disputes in the future, isn't it......"

However, Zhu Cihong seemed calm on his face, but in his heart, there were already countless cold sweats pouring out.

Beside him, even if Xu Changqing's power was not aimed at him, Zhu Cijiong was not much better than Zhu Cihong, and he swallowed his saliva hard.

Only then did he understand how unwise it was to abruptly provoke Xu Changqing's majesty.

Xu Changqing didn't need to do much at all, just one look was enough to scare him to death.

But this stimulated the rebellious psychology in the deepest part of his heart, and while he was afraid, he kept encouraging himself: "Xu Changqing, a national thief, is more hateful than Cao Mengde, sooner or later, this palace must kill this thief with his own hands!" ”

Of course, Xu Changqing didn't have time to pay attention to Zhu Cijiong, a little kid, and nodded slowly, and admired Queen Zhou's thoughts for a while.

This is her paving the way for the whaling industry, and at the same time, she is also testing Xu Changqing something.

I have to say that this move is still very good, and it justifiably gave the initiative to Xu Changqing, but at the same time gave Xu Changqing the pressure.

In the future, even if something goes wrong, their mother and son are also victims, and they can easily attract sympathy and still control orthodoxy.

On the contrary, for Xu Changqing, this is another bait that he knows is a little prickly, but he is willing to eat it......

Seeing that Xu Changqing's face was calm and calm, Zhu Cihong couldn't help but be even more nervous, already a little restless, wanting to say something to strengthen his kindness, but he didn't know how to say it for a while.

Zhu Cijiong also understood something at this time, and stared at Xu Changqing secretly, as if he wanted to see through Xu Changqing's thoughts.

After a while, just when the two brothers couldn't hold on, Xu Changqing suddenly smiled: "Okay." This matter should have been put on the agenda a long time ago, but it has been delayed because of the continuous war. In this way, tonight, the minister will prepare a dinner party in the minister's house. Please also ask the prince and the queen to be sure to come, many of these affairs, the minister said that it was not very good for a while, why not, discuss it with the minister's elders, how about it? ”
