Chapter 26: The Covenant of No Doubt
Seeing that Zhu Youzhen left with Jinxiu, and Zhu Youxiao misunderstood the emperor's brother because of Jinxiu, he felt a little guilty and chased him out.
At this time, only Zheng Guifei, Cui Wensheng and Li Xuanzhi were left in the hall, and Li Xuanzhi at this time really didn't leave, nor did he stay.
The plan was seen through, Zheng Guifei had no idea, and Zhu Youzhen's last warning, she began to consider that this calculation had made her and the prince have a deep grudge with the prince, and now the emperor has issued an edict, how will the prince really treat her when he really ascends the throne in the future, at this time it seems that the prince's succession is basically a sure thing.
Thinking of this, all the ambitions that Zheng Guifei had been all the time vanished at this moment, looking at the two show girls who were still kneeling on the ground, Zheng Guifei said to Li Xuan, "The emperor's eldest grandson is not here, the main room still needs to be discussed, these two girls look good in the palace, it is better to leave it as a side room, what do you think of the waiter?" ”
"But it's up to the concubine to decide."
"Cui Wensheng, leave the rest of the matter to Wang An, you don't have to ask anymore." After giving the order, Concubine Zheng got up and left, and Cui Wensheng sent her to the door.
There was no one on the side, Concubine Zheng Guifei whispered to Cui Wensheng, "Don't offend the prince in the future, the palace has to think about the way back for itself, especially the fifth prince, don't provoke, some things can be done to be convenient, it can be regarded as a relationship, just leave a way out for yourself." ”
After listening to Zheng Guifei's words, Cui Wensheng understood that Zheng Guifei had given up the fight, so he could only do what Zheng Guifei said, but he never expected that in the end, because of this, he ended up with a tragic death, which is a later story.
Zhu Youxiao chased Zhu Youzhen all the way back to the dormitory, Zhu Youzhen was in a hurry to walk from the north of the city because of the splendid things, and he forgot about Zhang Zhiji's calligraphy and painting, and when he returned to the dormitory, he told Gao Sheng to go to the north of the city to find Zhang Zhiji to take the two words.
Gao Sheng took the token and went to take the order.
At this time, Zhu Youxiao was like a child who made mistakes, and he didn't know what to do for a while.
"Xiao Wu, it's the royal brother's fault today, the imperial brother shouldn't have speculated about you so maliciously, it's the imperial brother who was stupid and didn't see through the sinister intentions of the bad old woman, so he misunderstood you." Zhu Youxiao lowered his head and took the initiative to admit his mistake.
Zhu Youzhen sighed and said, "Brother Huang, you shouldn't doubt me, no matter when, I won't harm you." ”
"Little Five, the imperial brother will never be again."
"Brother Huang, what if you become emperor in the future? What would have happened if I had disobeyed you? ”
"Brother Huang has always thought that you are talented, and I only like to study some carpentry skills, and I have no interest in reading, let alone being an emperor, if Xiao Wu likes it, Brother Huang will give you the throne." Zhu Youxiao said sincerely.
"Brother Huang don't say this kind of thing again in the future, I just hope that Brother Huang will not doubt me again in the future, I said, with me, I will not let anyone bully you, this will always be counted."
Zhu Youxiao walked up to Zhu Youzhen and said firmly, "Little Five, today the imperial brother and you agreed that no matter when, we will never doubt each other." After speaking, Zhu Youxiao stretched out his palm.
Zhu Youzhen stood up, "Never doubt each other." After speaking, he also stretched out his palm and slapped Zhu Youxiao three times in a row.
"Little Wu, what kind of calligraphy and painting did you ask Gao Sheng to pick up just now?" Zhu Youxiao sat back in his chair and asked.
"The poem written by Xingzhi Academy that day was copied by Miss Xu......" Zhu Youzhen said the two words and Zhang Zhiji's entrustment of him, and continued, "It stands to reason that these two poems still have one of yours, why don't you also give an inscription to the imperial brother?" ”
"Xiao Wu, your idea is exactly what I want, and the two words of more than 60,000 taels of silver, I want to be happy." Zhu Youxiao clapped his hands and smiled, and then sent someone back to get his seal.
The two of them untangled their hearts, and the chat was much easier, Zhu Youzhen and Zhu Youxiao talked about the Four Seas Manor and the house sent by Luo Yangxing, and Zhu Youxiao longed for it.
At this time, the cabinet was on duty, and the crown prince Zhu Changluo carefully looked at the excerpts that the first assistant party took from Zhe, which was sorted out from Zhe overnight after the emperor drew up the edict, and these folds were the list of officials submitted by the Inspectorate and the Ministry of Officials that had been backlogged in recent years, as well as the excerpts submitted by the ministries to fill the vacancies.
Zhu Changluo had already read the recital for a morning, but he didn't start to review any of them. Fang Congzhe has also been sitting opposite Zhu Changluo and waiting.
"Elder Ge, if you are too big at this time, will things change?" Zhu Changluo was a little cautious, and he was worried that he would lose the whole game if he was not careful.
"The old minister also has some scruples in his heart about this matter, but this matter of filling the gap can't be delayed any longer, so the old minister deliberately only sorted out these, and those old ministers who played on the household department about local disasters and the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Punishment, etc., are all pressed." Fang Congzhe shook his head and said.
"In this way, we still fill the gap below the fourth grade, first look at the attitude of the father, if there is no problem, we will continue, as for the six ......" Zhu Changluo hesitated slightly and continued, "Now the Ministry of Rites has the left waiter Weng Zhengchun, the Ministry of Officials has the left waiter Xu Guangqi, the military department has Shangshu Qin Wenshi, the household department has Shangshu Li to ask, the criminal department has the right waiter Li Ruoqi, only the Ministry of Industry has no one in charge, and the Ministry of Industry and above will be guided by the Ministry of Industry to make up for it, I don't know what the old man of the pavilion will do?" ”
"This matter is very important, and the old minister can't make up his mind." Fang Congzhe shook his head again.
Zhu Changluo understood that Fang Shoufu was afraid of being responsible and was not ready to give reference advice.
"Shang Bao Si Cheng's fill in the gaps doesn't seem to be in these?"
"Shang Baosi is not important, the old minister didn't put it in it when he sorted it out."
Shang Bao Si Si Cheng is a six-grade official, and his duty is to be in charge of the treasure seals, talismans, and seals, mostly for the grace of the noble children, that is, to reward the ministers for giving their children a chance to take up their posts and eat empty salaries.
"Because of this, it doesn't matter much if you don't have much impact to make up for the lack of a father, I think Yishihong's ability can be qualified for this position."
"Prince Xie's love for dogs, here is a flat excerpt about He Xiongxiang, the right attendant of the Nanjing Criminal Department, the prince can take a look." Fang Congzhe found out a copy of the Ministry of Officials' excerpt about the transfer of He Xiongxiang, the secretary of the Nanjing Criminal Department, to the right attendant of the Ministry of Works, and continued, "The officials in charge of the Sixth Department of Nanjing have been vacant for a long time, and He Xiongxiang is in charge of the affairs of the Sixth Department as the right attendant of the Criminal Department. ”
Zhu Changluo said with a smile, "Thank you for the advice of the elder pavilion, so I will use the land of the cabinet to approve these folds to be handed over, and the elder will first go to the ministry to make up a copy of the excerpts of Shangbao Si Cheng to fill the vacancy, and then I will submit them to my father after I have finished approving them." ”
"The prince is busy first, and the old minister retreats first." After speaking, Fang Congzhe smiled and saluted and retreated.
After Fang Congzhe left, Zhu Changluo's originally smiling face suddenly became gloomy, Fang Congzhe couldn't see the situation clearly at this time, thinking about Mingzhe to protect himself.
In less than an hour, those excerpts below the fourth grade that urgently needed to be filled and the excerpts of He Xiongxiang's transfer to the Ministry of Labor Zhu Changluo had been approved, at this time, Fang Congzhe also took the excerpts of the Ministry of Officials about Shangbao Si Cheng and sent them, Zhu Changluo opened the excerpt and didn't look at it, and Zhu wrote down directly, "Yes, go to work immediately." Then he closed the folds and placed them in the middle of the folds.
"Elder Ge, let's send these batches of folds to my father's imperial review, and I will also go to see my father's reaction." The crown prince Zhu Changluo got up and said to the other party, turned around and left the cabinet room after speaking, and walked towards the Qianqing Palace.
