Chapter 36: Knocking
Zhu Xu spread the note on the table, looked at it for a while, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
These were the people he arranged to record the various rules of the Hakka family, most of which were provided by the little maidservant named Ai'er.
Zhu Xu watched silently, deducing the various laws of life of the old witch. She is now hidden in the palace, it is difficult for her to appear in the light, every time she goes out, she has to cover well, if she is accidentally known by outsiders, it is definitely a big deal.
Similarly, Zhu Youxiao wanted to 'be lucky' to her, but she couldn't go to Xian'an Palace, so it was really exposed, according to the note above, it was all the Hakka who were covered, sent to the warm pavilion behind the imperial study, and left early the next morning.
And most of the other time, she hid in Xian'an Palace and never stepped out.
"Your Highness, the slave has something to return."
After the knock at the door, Cao Huachun's voice rang out.
"Come in." Zhu Xu put the note into the drawer and ate the pastry in a vague manner.
Cao Huachun was not like other eunuchs, he strode in front of Zhu Xu, and said directly, "Your Highness, as you expected, Gu Bingqian and Wei Guanghui have all entered the cabinet, and Zhao Nanxing has taken over as the secretary of the ministry." ”
Zhu Xu had just finished swallowing the pastry in his mouth, but he sighed in his heart. He, the imperial brother, has really learned the imperial technique, but he doesn't know if he can balance it.
Whether it is within the original eunuch party, or Qingliu or Donglin party, they are all tilting against each other, and the struggle for power and profit has become almost incandescent, and it cannot be solved by a simple balance.
Zhu Xu is helpless about these, at this time, many things are deeply rooted and even sick to the bone marrow, and the use of fierce medicine may not be able to solve the problem.
"Alright, take it and eat it, keep staring." Zhu Xu just wanted to know the situation of the court, and with his identity, he had no way to interfere, so he handed the remaining pastries in the box to Cao Huachun and said.
"Your Highness." Cao Huachun was happy, he had gradually integrated in, and he was less restrained at the beginning.
Not long after Cao Huachun carried the box, Cao Wenzhao walked in with an angry face, looked at Zhu Xu and said, "Your Highness, Ni Wenhuan and Zhou Yingqiu want to see you." As he spoke, he handed Zhou Jianyu's note and the translated note to Zhu Xudao.
Zhu Xu is not very surprised, Ni Wenhuan is easy to control, but Zhou Yingqiu is an extremely treacherous and cunning person, expecting a letter of allegiance to make him a good baby, that is a fool's dream.
After reading the note, Zhu Xu groaned. Zhou Jianyu sent it like this, I'm afraid he also wanted to meet him, the boss behind the scenes, it seems that it is not possible to hide it like this.
"Old Cao," Zhu Xu looked up at Cao Wenzhao and said with a smile: "There's nothing to be angry about, give the things I took from the imperial sister-in-law that can show that their identity value is not high, and give each of the three of them a copy." ”
Cao Wenzhao was stunned, his eyes widened and he said, "Your Highness, you ...... Want to pretend to be the queen mother? ”
Zhu Xu smiled and said, "I'll send something out, how do they think it's their business." ”
Cao Wenzhao thought about it silently, and hurriedly said excitedly to Zhu Xu: "Your Highness, this move is high!" ”
Pretending to be someone else can also be verified, but there is no way to pretend to be a queen. First, the queen's identity is sensitive, even if they see it, they all understand it and won't ask anything. Second, there is no way to verify, and it is difficult to see, let alone speak alone. The most important thing is that as long as you see something, no one will doubt it.
Without the permission of the queen, who would dare to take the queen's things? And give it away casually?
"By the way, let Cao Huachun's people send it directly to Zhou Jianyu," Zhu Xu added: "Give Zhou Jianyu a lesson." ”
"It's Your Highness, I'll do it."
Cao Wenzhao is the happiest to do things for Zhu Xu, maybe it is people's psychological problems, and things in secret are very excited.
It didn't take long for the three little eunuchs to enter Zhou Jianyu's silk village through the back door.
Zhou Jianyu looked at the three of them, frightened, although he knew that the 'master' was in the palace, but he didn't know which one it was, looking at the posture of the three fathers-in-law in front of him, I am afraid that it was really extraordinary.
The leader was Cao Huachun's apprentice, Feng Zhu, who was condescending, looked at Zhou Jianyu with arrogance and disdain, and said in a sharp and cold voice, "The surname is Zhou, the noble person is very dissatisfied with your incident this time." ”
Zhou Jianyu was covered in a cold sweat, he knew very well that his 'master' could easily let the commander of Jinyiwei change people, then his small merchant would be as easy as pinching an ant to death.
He looked frightened, cold sweat broke out on his head, and he arched his hand: "Father-in-law, let me explain, it was all forced by those three people, and I can't stop it." "He is now beginning to regret it in his heart, if he angers the 'master' this time and abandons him, it will be a catastrophe.
Feng Zhu sneered and said, "What are your ideas, the nobles know very well, but this is the first time, if you dare to have a next time, you will prepare a coffin for yourself first!" ”
Zhou Jianyu was like being amnestied, and hurriedly bowed: "Thank you father-in-law, thank you father-in-law, I hope that father-in-law will have a lot of kind words in front of the nobles, and the little one will definitely not have other thoughts in the future, and he will do things for the nobles wholeheartedly, and he will never have two hearts." As he spoke, he took out three silver tickets totaling five thousand taels from his arms and handed them to Feng Zhu.
Feng Zhu glanced at it, sneered, and said, "Shopkeeper Zhou, you can keep this bit of silver for your own retirement, come on." ”
The two little eunuchs behind him immediately carried the box in their hands to the table on the side, then opened it and put it on the table one by one.
They are an emerald green cane, a glass-colored jade ruyi, and a tiger vase.
Feng Zhu didn't look at Zhou Jianyu, walked over and looked at the three things on the table, and said lightly, "These three things are all tribute from Annan, and the noble man asked me to reward the three of you, remember, just use it as an heirloom, you don't have to show it." Also, Wei Liangqing's matter, the nobles know, Wei Zhongxian will not be able to die for a while, and he wants to save him, and he will talk about it when the emperor is angry. ”
Zhou Jianzong nodded again and again, and he didn't dare to breathe.
Feng Zhu was instructed before he came, he couldn't stay long, and after speaking, he said: "Okay, you can do it yourself, if I leave the palace again, I'm afraid I will collect your body." ”
Zhou Jianzong's body trembled, and he hurriedly said, "Father-in-law, don't worry, the little one will definitely do his best, and he will never have two hearts, and please ask my father-in-law to say a lot of good things in front of the nobles." As he spoke, he took out a stack of silver tickets from his bosom, I don't know how many, but it was estimated to be more than 30,000 taels.
Feng Zhu's face, which had been indifferent, finally showed a smile, quietly put the silver ticket into his arms, and said a rare good word to Zhou Jianzong: "Shopkeeper Zhou, although the nobleman is very angry, but he doesn't mean to clean you up, after all, it is Zhou Yingqiu who is disobedient, you give him something, the momentum is enough, don't be polite to teach the lesson, if they are not honest, you give me a little words, I will ask the nobles to support you and clean them up." ”
Zhou Jianyu was overjoyed when he heard this, and said, "Thank you, father-in-law, once you have an order, don't be polite, the little one will try his best to do it for you." ”
Feng Zhu looked around, leaned closer and whispered, "Zhou Yingqiu was taught a miserable lesson by the nobles before. ”
Zhou Jianyu's expression perked up, he had always dared not say a word out loud to them because of his humble status, with the words of this Feng Gonggong, he was suddenly full of confidence, and he also whispered very interestingly, "Father-in-law, don't worry, from now on, there will be dividends for you every month, and you can send people to come and go at any time." ”
Feng Zhu was really satisfied this time, waved his hand at the two people behind him, and said, "Okay, the matter is done, let's go back to the palace." ”
"Congratulations to my father-in-law." Zhou Jianyu hurriedly accompanied and sent the three out of the back door.
