The eunuch Cao Fu held a cyan oil-paper umbrella diagonally and walked out of the Rouyi Palace, he wanted to see Zhu Gaoxu and return to the results of the errand. In leprosy and drizzly weather, the umbrella has to be tilted to prevent the head and face from getting wet by the rain.

Previously, in front of King Annan, he damaged Chen Xianzhen, but it was far from making him angry. Cao Fu is not like Wang Jinghong, who wants to do something big and leave a name in the history books, he just wants to feel comfortable; Unexpectedly, Chen Xianzhen, a Taoist priest, dared to make him angry.

Cao Fu pondered for a while, then quickened his pace and walked towards the Fengtian Gate. Cao Fu didn't stay in the Rouyi Hall for too long in the morning, so he guessed that the early dynasty was not over yet, and the emperor should listen to the government in the Fengtian Gate at this time.

Along the brick square outside the main gate of the Rouyi Palace, go straight to the east, and Cao Fu soon arrived at the Wulou. No one stopped him, and he passed the martial tower, and inside was a wide brick floor. At this time, you only have to look to the southeast to see the majestic Fengtian Gate.

Cao Fu walked in through the gate on the north side of the Mukden Gate, but saw that the throne was empty. The case set up by the Hanlin Yuan below is still there, and some officials on duty are sitting on both sides of the writing thing, no one is speaking, and the "rustle" sound of the pen falling on the paper can be heard.

Cao Fu didn't say a word, and walked out of Fengtianmen the same way. He met a eunuch outside the door, so he stepped forward and asked, "The early dynasty is over, and the emperor has returned to Dongnuan Pavilion?" ”

The eunuch bent down and said, "Back to Grandpa Cao, the slave maid saw that the emperor had gone to the East Corner Gate." He said as he pointed his finger to the east.

Cao Fu nodded, feeling a little strange in his heart.

There are three gates in this place, the middle is the Fengtian Gate, and the two sides are the West Corner Gate and the East Corner Gate; Emperors generally only come to the Mukden Gate, not to the corner gates on both sides. However, there is a saying in the East Corner Gate, it is said that when Jianwen was the emperor, he and his henchman Huang Zicheng secretly discussed the major matter of cutting the domain, which was on the East Corner Gate; Later, it suffered a major war, which was the "Battle of Jingjing".

After a while, Cao Fu entered the East Corner Gate, only to see several people standing inside, including eunuchs and Jinyi Wei Dahan generals. When everyone saw the emperor's henchman eunuch Cao Fu, they all clenched their fists and greeted them.

Cao Fu arched his hand, glanced up at the stairs, and went straight to the attic.

As soon as he walked to the attic, he suddenly saw a blue-robed official kneeling on the ground and bowing, while Zhu Gaoxu was standing not far from the staircase. Cao Fu hurriedly took two steps back, lest the official even bow down with him, and a eunuch could not afford this big gift.

Zhu Gaoxu glanced at Cao Fu, nodded slightly, then stepped forward to help the official and said, "Get up and speak." ”

Cao Fu and other officials stood up, and then he went back to the attic and stood silently and waited.

This green-robed official is also rare, he can be summoned by the emperor alone, but it turns out to be someone Cao Fu doesn't know. Cao Fu often appears by the emperor's side, who can meet the emperor closely, and what else does he not know?

I saw that the official was very young, but he was yellow and thin. Cao Fu suddenly remembered, wasn't there a hundred or ten new jinshi not long ago? Most of these officials are newly promoted jinshi.

Zhu Gaoxu spoke first: "Liu Ming, I saw the list reported by the pedestrian division, and Si Zhengyan said that you volunteered to go to Annan to see Chen Jikuo?" ”

An official named Liu Ming bowed and said: "Back to the saint, as Si Zheng said, this matter is the minister's initiative to ask for help." ”

Zhu Gaoxu said: "At the beginning of Yongle, the Annan people ambushed the Ming envoys and officers and soldiers, and even Xue Yan, the secretary of Dali Temple, almost died

There. You've just passed the Jinshi exam, so don't go this time. ”

Liu Ming suddenly raised his head, and when he met Zhu Gaoxu's gaze, the two monarchs and ministers glanced at each other delicately.

Cao Fu looked at it in his eyes, and his heart was even more puzzled, when did this new jinshi be appreciated by the emperor?

Liu Ming said: "Weichen Xie Sheng's love. When the minister hears about the merits of the saint's conscience, his heart yearns for it. Today, I am fortunate to be a protégé of the Son of Heaven, and although the minister goes to Annan, there is no way to repay the grace of God. He thought that there was no need to be afraid of this trip. ”

"Oh?" Zhu Gaoxu made a sound.

Liu Ming bowed and said: "In the past, the Hu clan provoked the imperial court, and it was destroyed by the king in less than a year. The current rebel Chen Jikuo and others in Annan have the ambition of the wolf, and the biggest is not to occupy Annan and be recognized by the imperial court; If you kill the court envoys, it will be harmful and useless. Therefore, the minister decided that this trip seemed sinister, but in fact there was no need to worry. ”

Zhu Gaoxu pondered for a while, then nodded slowly: "You have some truth in what you say, it's okay!" However, it is not easy for you to be admitted to the Jinshi, so be careful yourself. I have a few locals in Annan who I know, so I will send someone to inform you and ask them to contact you, so that you can take care of you. ”

Liu Ming hurriedly said: "Weichen can serve the court, and they are all graceful. ”

Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand and said, "You don't have to go to the Hanlin Academy for the next few days, I wish you a safe return." ”

Liu Ming bowed and said, "Thank you, retire." ”

Cao Fu turned his head and glanced at Liu Ming walking down the stairs, then stepped forward and bent down and said, "Back to the emperor, the slave's errand is finished, but it's ......."

"Something to say." Zhu Gaoxu said.

Cao Fu said cautiously: "But Chen Xian really resents the emperor, and hates Queen Chen even more, and feels that the queen has humiliated her." Just now, in front of the slaves and maids, they were already arguing. ”

"Hmm......" Zhu Gaoxu made a voice, indicating that he was listening.

Cao Fu continued: "The slave maid listened to Chen Xianzhen's words, and felt that she was still towards the traitor Chen Jikuo, and she didn't miss the emperor's grace at all!" But this is expected, she was originally the person who Chen Jikuo sent twice to be a traitor.

But what the slave was worried about was that after Chen Xianzhen had a grudge with Queen Annan, she would be put back so vividly, would she instigate Chen Jikuo to be enemies with the queen and the people on Chen Zhengyuan's side? If this is the case, the emperor's kindness will be in vain. ”

Zhu Gaoxu listened and paced back and forth a few steps. After a long while, he finally turned around and said, "Don't embarrass her, just let her go back to her hometown." ”

Cao Fu immediately didn't want to talk more, and hugged his fists and said, "Yes." ”

Zhu Gaoxu walked to the railing and looked outside for a while. Cao Fu followed the direction and looked out, and he could see the scene outside the attic, a neat and grand group of heavy eaves palaces.

"Emperor Jianwen and Huang Zicheng have also been here." Zhu Gaoxu turned his head and said casually.

"Yes." Cao Fu responded respectfully. He said in his heart, it turns out that the emperor has also heard about this.

Zhu Gaoxu stood for a short time, then turned around and walked down the stairs.

…… Although it is raining today, have also come to the palace. Xu Niangzi is the daughter of the abolished princess and military general Xu Zhang, who was retired by Zhu Gaosui, the king of Zhao.

She came to see Concubine De Xue and explained her intention at Xuanwu Gate, but the eunuch informed Concubine De. After that, the palace maid searched her body, and she entered the palace smoothly.

At that time, and Duan Xue hated, but they were inseparable for a long time; At first, it wasn't because of the close relationship, but because Duan Xue hated to spy on.

Everything was because of a coincidence, Xu Niangzi discovered the secret of her uncle He Fu, and it turned out that He Fu had already secretly communicated with the "King of Han", so she was sent to the Han Wangfu in Yunnan.

Because Zhu Gaoxu has all kinds of kinship with her, it is not easy to detain her; So can get along with Duan Xue day and night. The two got along for a long time and shared some private things, but somehow they had a friendship. I think two women with completely opposite personalities can also make friends.

Duan Xue hated to live in the East First Palace. The highest status here is the imperial concubine Mu Zhen.

were taken to the East First Palace by the eunuchs. After seeing Duan Xue Hat, she found that Duan Xue Hatred was still the same as before, with few words and no kind words; However, felt a little more relaxed. She brought a box of gifts, but was put on the table by Duan Xue Hae.

The palace ladies served tea and went out. Only then did Xu Niangzi ask softly: "How is the imperial concubine, is it okay to speak?" ”

When it came to the imperial concubine, Duan Xue hated a subtle look on her expressionless face, and her eyes were a little different. When Xu Niangzi saw it in her eyes, she felt a little strange, and said in her heart: Could it be that Duan Xue hated that when she was in Yunnan, she had dealings with the Mu family?

Duan Xue hated quickly said casually: "People are very good. ”

Xu Niangzi was slightly happy when she heard this, and hurriedly grabbed Duan Xue and said, "I want to ask my sister for something, can you help me introduce the imperial concubine?" ”

"What do you see her doing?" Duan Xue said suspiciously.

Xu Niangzi was a little embarrassed, and after a little hesitation, her voice lowered: "I heard that the half-sister of the imperial concubine may be Princess Zhao." I want to convince the Imperial Concubine to stop this. ”

Duan Xue hated her and said, "You are very well-informed, but why do you want to do this?" ”

Xu Niangzi said: "King Zhao divorced me at the beginning, on the pretext that I had been married for several years and did not give birth to a sister-in-law. This reason is not the truth, otherwise King Zhao can let me adopt one as a son-in-law. At the beginning, King Zhao just fell in love with the powerful position of the Mu family and wanted to marry the Mu family.

As long as King Zhao can't marry a woman from the Mu family, he may be willing to take me back again. Because my uncle (He Fu) made great contributions in the 'Battle of Crime', his status in the court is now very different from what he used to be. ”

Duan Xue hated and frowned: "If King Zhao's mind is really so cold, what are you going to do when you go back?" ”

sighed quietly, "It's better than now." The Xu family thinks I'm embarrassed, and I can't always run to my uncle's house and Sister Duan's place, and I often feel as if there is no place for me. ”

"Monks?" Duan Xue asked with hatred.

The said: "To be a nun, you have to shave your hair." Young women have a bad reputation as Taoist priests, unless they marry the kind of Taoist priests who can marry wives. In the Tang Dynasty, there were some female Taoist priests, like prostitutes; A few years ago, Ji Gang and Tan Qing competed for a female Taoist priest, and the fight broke her head and bleed, making it known all over the city; There are some rumors in the Holy Shrine today......"

She wanted to speak again and again, and finally couldn't help but say: "I heard that the queen's sister has been sent to the central capital." I don't want to go to that place in the middle capital, just in case. ”

Duan Xue was silent for a moment and said, "How can you convince the imperial concubine?" ”

whispered: "I have my own way." ”
