Chapter Forty-Nine: The Three Gentlemen of Donglin

When Wei Xiaobao heard this, he hurriedly knelt down and said, "The slave understands!" Please rest assured, Your Highness! Then under Zhu Hao's nod, he respectfully exited Zhu Hao's room.

After Wei Xiaobao withdrew, Zhu Hao fell into contemplation again, this time what he was worried about was no longer the queen's problem, but his father's problem about protecting himself, after all, he killed Cui Wei, such a big thing, how could those Donglin party people give up, I don't know what kind of changes will happen at that time.

Just as Zhu Hao was thinking about these things in the room, an attendant walked in and said in a loud voice: "The emperor has decreed: Let you come to the imperial study tomorrow morning to see me!" ”

Hearing this, Zhu Hao hurriedly got up from the bed, turned over and knelt down and bowed: "The son of the minister has the order!" ”

The chamberlain helped Zhu Hao up with a smile and said, "Your Highness is still weak, let's get cool on the ground!" ”

Zhu Hao got up, with a smile on his face, and said a few polite words to the waiter, and then sent the waiter away, after the waiter left, Zhu Hao secretly said in his heart: "Daddy, this is the one that is singing?" "The reason why Zhu Hao has such a question is because this imperial study is said to be a study, but it is usually the emperor's office, and under normal circumstances, the emperor will meet the minister after the court meeting, and it will be carried out in the imperial study. Zhu Hao has been in this world for half a month, and he only went to his eldest brother once when his father asked about the fire case.

No one could explain Zhu Hao's question to him, but Zhu Hao understood that although his father was not a famous emperor, he was definitely not a mediocre person, and he must have his father's own intentions to let him go to the imperial study. Thinking like this, Zhu Hao slowly fell asleep on the bed with a hint of doubt.

In the early morning of the second day, Zhu Hao finished washing up early under the service of the inner servant, and went to the imperial study to meet his father, and when he arrived at the door of the imperial study, Zhu Hao did not dare to make a mistake, knelt down outside the door, and shouted: "Son-in-law Zhu Youzhen, I am ordered to meet my father, may my father be healthy!" ”

As soon as Zhu Hao's voice fell, he heard a hearty laugh from behind the room: "Youjian is here!" Come on in! With that, Zhu Changluo walked out of the room and helped Zhu Hao up.

Zhu Hao, who observed carefully, found that although his father smiled very kindly at him, there was a strong worry in his eyes, and Zhu Hao secretly said in his heart: "It seems that my father has been in a bad mood recently!" Those dog-day Donglin Party, TNND must have forced their father recently, which makes Lao Tzu a little unbearable! Zhu Hao, who was a little angry, secretly calmed down his agitated mood, and then said secretly: "It is estimated that Dad let himself come here today, I'm afraid it has something to do with the shooting of Cui Yu's old horseman!" ”

Zhu Hao thought so in his heart, so he asked: "Father asked his son to come here today, I don't know what advice my father has for his son?" ”

The worry in Zhu Changluo's eyes disappeared for a moment, and he looked at Zhu Hao lovingly and said: "I will let you see today, this person who has a ghost in the center of the court, and at the same time let you know who these ministers are loyal and who are traitors, and when the time comes, you will know how to use these people when you ascend the throne!" ”

Saying that, Zhu Hao was taken by Zhu Changluo behind the screen in the imperial study, and then Zhu Changluo spoke: "Youzhen, you will stay behind this screen for a while, just watch and listen well, remember not to make a sound!" ”

When Zhu Hao heard this, he hurriedly nodded fiercely, and then said, "It's my father, you will understand!" "What Zhu Hao said clearly means that in this imperial study, it is inherently unruly to let an ordinary prince like him exist, not to mention that he has to eavesdrop and peek, it is even more unseemly, if he is found hiding behind the screen, I am afraid it will cause a bigger storm.

Looking at Zhu Hao's well-behaved appearance, Zhu Changluo nodded with satisfaction, then walked out of the screen, sat down on the dragon chair in the imperial study, and then asked the attendants beside him, "Are they all here?" ”

When the chamberlain heard this, he hurriedly said: "Just now when the five princes came, the old slave didn't disturb His Majesty's family fun, they have been here for a while!" ”

Zhu Changluo didn't say anything, nodded and said, "Since they are here, let's announce them in!" I want to see if I have the final say in this Ming world, or whether they have the final say! Hum! ”

When the chamberlain heard this, he hurriedly drank to the door: "Your Majesty has a decree, the first assistant of the Xuan Cabinet will meet Master Zhe, Lord Zou Yuanbiao, the left attendant of the Ministry of Ministers, Lord Zhao Nanxing, the right attendant of the Ministry of Works, and the Marquis Guo Zixuan of Pingnan!" ”

Zhu Hao hid behind the screen, secretly analyzing the identities of these people, first of all, Zhu Hao was most shocked by Zou Yuanbiao, the left attendant of the Ministry of Officials, and Zhao Nanxing, the right attendant of the Ministry of Works, Zhu Hao was shocked that the appearance of these two people, not because of their high official status, but because these two people are very famous people in history, they and the late Nanjing Guanglu Temple Shaoqing Gu Xiancheng, collectively known as the "Donglin Sanjun" These two people are the real leaders of the Donglin Party, and their appearance today is naturally to represent the interests of the Donglin Party, and they must be prepared to ask him for his guilt.

Thinking like this, Zhu Hao couldn't help but secretly shook his head, blaming himself for being too sharp, when he didn't have the strength, he provoked such two big names, and it was really a headache.

But it was only for a moment, Zhu Hao's expression was a little gloomy, and he became a little surprised, because he suddenly figured out one thing, that is, the head of the cabinet, Fang Congzhe, although he is a person from Concubine Zheng, but he is not from the Donglin Party, this time his appearance should be opposed to the Donglin Party, and this Pingnan Marquis Guo Zixuan, Zhu Hao has not heard of it, but this is a marquis, that is, a proper nobleman, and naturally he can't pee in the same pot with the Donglin Party, who call themselves "Qingliu", It seems that he really underestimated his father, and this hand of checks and balances is really wonderful, compared with the coercion and temptation he thought of in Jinyiwei Prison, it is more practical and fast.

Zhu Hao was behind the screen, quietly waiting for the arrival of the four big coffees.

Not long after the voice of the chamberlain shouted out, four officials in red official uniforms walked into the imperial study, and they knelt down in front of Zhu Changluo and said: "The first assistant of the minister's cabinet is Congzhe, the left attendant of the minister's department Zou Yuanbiao, the right attendant of the minister's ministry Zhao Nanxing, and the minister Pingnanhou Guo Zixuan, see Your Majesty, may my emperor live long, long live, long live!" ”

Zhu Changluo said with a smile on his face: "Four Aiqing, come so early!" Get up! Today, I asked people to bring you here, because I want to discuss with you, about the matter of the shooting and killing of Cui Yu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, the four Aiqing can all express their opinions on this matter, and I will listen to you! ”

Zhu Hao hid behind the screen, and from the self-proclaimed names of a few people when they knelt down just now, he was already able to distinguish the identities of several people at this moment.

As soon as Zhu Changluo's words were finished, Zhu Hao saw a man with a goatee and slightly white temples walking out from among the four, this person was Zou Yuanbiao, who just called himself the left attendant of the ministry, this Zou Yuanbiao did not hurry to Zhu Changluo and gave a salute, and then said: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people, and the minister feels that there is no need to discuss this matter anymore!" ”

When Zhu Hao heard this, he secretly slandered behind the screen: "TNND, you are an old gang, you TNND is going to force Lao Tzu directly to a dead end!" What does it mean to be non-negotiable? Are you going to let Lao Tzu's father kill Lao Tzu directly? I'm really angry, Zou Yuanbiao! You old gangster! Lao Tzu remembers you! ”

Zhu Hao was secretly angry behind the screen, and Zhu Changluo, who was sitting on the dragon chair, also had a bad face and said, "Listen to what Zou Aiqing means, are you going to make decisions for me?" Then do you think this is good, I will directly hand over the inspection to you, and if you want to kill or chop, how do you think it will happen? ”

Zhu Changluo's words are the words of the heart, he said this, if Zou Yuanbiao dares to respond, it will be suspected of bullying the king, and at the same time, it also shows the heart of disobedience, these Donglin Party is just a group of scholars who only care about their own interests, let them rebel, give them a hundred dares They don't dare!

Sure enough, after Zou Yuanbiao heard this, he immediately knelt on the ground and said: "The minister doesn't dare, the minister just lost his word, please forgive your majesty!" ”

Zou Yuanbiao was defeated in the first round, and his good "comrade-in-arms" Zhao Nanxing, the right attendant of the Ministry of Works, couldn't stay any longer, and hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, Lord Zou did say something inappropriate just now, but in the past, Emperor Taizu erected a bronze tablet outside the Fengtian Palace, and the book did not kill the official, please Your Majesty see that Lord Zou is also dedicated to the sake of my Ming Dynasty, don't blame Lord Zou!" ”

Zhu Hao hid behind the screen and scolded secretly: "TNND is another old gangster, what about you two talking about cross talk to Lao Tzu?" One teasing, one teasing? Also TNND moved Taizu out to scare Lao Tzu's father, don't you know that Lao Tzu's father is timid? If you really frighten Lao Tzu's father, Lao Tzu will definitely play with you today, see if Lao Tzu can kill you, an old gangster! Besides, this is all a handful of years, and he is still talking nonsense with his eyes open and his heart not beating, obviously for the sake of your Donglin Party's own reputation, and you have to be involved in the Ming Dynasty! Lao Tzu just wants to ask you, if Lao Tzu kills Cui Yu, will he be able to make the Ming Dynasty lose the country? It's really funny, if it weren't for you Donglin Party instigating the decree of rebellion in the country, this Ming Dynasty would not have died at all in the end, and Lao Tzu would definitely not let you guys be left and right in this life! ”

Zhu Changluo didn't answer Zhao Nanxing's words, but glanced at Zhao Nanxing coldly and said: "You don't have to scare me with Taizu's testament, I am not Emperor Taizu, if I am Emperor Taizu, with his thunderous wrist, you don't dare to stand here today!" Hum! Let me ask you, what do you think about this matter? What do you think I should do? ”

When Zhao Nanxing heard this, he was not as direct as Zou Yuanbiao, but said euphemistically: "This debt repayment, killing people to pay for life, this is a truth that has never changed throughout the ages, the minister thinks that His Majesty has already made a bamboo in his chest, as for the ...... How to decide? It's inconvenient for the minister to say more, everything depends on His Majesty's decision! ”
