When Zhang Weixian saw Zhu Changluo's appearance, he knew that he was still uncertain, and as for the reason, he had already guessed, "Your Highness is worried about the successor?" In fact, Zhu Chunchen, the Duke of Chengguo, is a suitable candidate. ”

"Oh? Cheng Guogong? ”

Zhang Weixian said: "Yes, firstly, Chengguo Gong and King Fu, King Rui, King Hui, and King Duan have nothing to do with it, and secondly, Chengguogong's son Ying An has a good relationship with the emperor's eldest grandson and the fifth son, if the Beijing camp is handed over to him, it will be used by His Royal Highness, in addition, Chengguo Gong and the courtiers are not involved, so that the courtiers will not be entangled, not caught in disputes, this matter is over, the only deficiency is that Chengguo Gong is not good at force, supervision can be, but if it is to lead the troops to fight, it will be much worse." ”

Zhu Changluo said: "I'm afraid that this statement has already been thought out on the way to Guogong, right?" It seems that Guogong is determined to hang the seal? ”

"It's not that the old minister insists on resigning, but if His Royal Highness doesn't deal with the old minister, or if he disposes of it lightly, that class of rotten Confucians will not only be entangled with the old minister, but also have all kinds of harm and no benefit to His Highness."

"Since you have made up your mind, then do as you say, as for the other shortcomings, isn't there still the team you left in Beijing? When the time comes, you just need to pay more attention. ”

Zhang Weixian arched his hand and said, "Your Highness is complete." ”

Zhu Youzhen returned to the house, the Jurchen matter was solved, and the rest was handed over to Jinyiwei and the British Duke to solve, and he was busy for a few days, and he felt very tired when he stopped, and regardless of the hour, Zhu Youzhen returned to the room and fell asleep.

When Zhu Youzhen woke up, it was already dark, Zhu Youzhen stretched his waist and then turned over and sat up, and when he looked up, he saw a figure standing in front of him, Zhu Youzhen was startled, and his heart was shocked, and he asked, "Who is it?" ”

As soon as the man heard Zhu Youzhen's voice, he hurriedly took a step back and said, "Your Highness, it's me, Lao Yu." ”

Hearing that it was Yu Dachuan's voice, Zhu Youzhen was relieved, he originally thought that he had encountered such a bloody plot as an assassin, if he could still let the assassins sneak in and assassinate him when there were fifty brocade guards as guardians, then these fifty people could roll up and cover the brocade guards, and they could save a lot of rations.

Zhu Youzhen said dissatisfiedly: "I said Lao Yu, why don't you light a lamp?" Do you know that people are scary and can scare people to death? ”

Yu Dachuan said: "Your Highness forgives your sins, it was still early when the villain came, and I didn't dare to disturb when I saw that His Highness was sleeping soundly, and before I knew it, it was dark." After speaking, Yu Dachuan walked to the oil lamp, took out the lampshade, took out the fire fold, and lit the lamp.

"You don't want to be villainous and villain all day long, making people feel awkward to hear."

Yu Dachuan arched his hand and said: "Yes, the villain knows." As soon as he finished speaking, he found something wrong in his words and said, "I know." ”

Zhu Youzhen also knew that the habits that had been cultivated for a long time were difficult to change for a while, and it was the same for Jinxiu before, and it took a long time to correct it, so he waved his hand and said, "What is the matter that you have been waiting for so long?" ”

Yu Dachuan pondered for a moment, knelt down on one knee suddenly, lowered his head and clasped his fists with both hands, and pleaded: "I have caused trouble this time, please punish Your Highness." ”

Zhu Youzhen knew that Yu Dachuan was not a reckless person, and he said it so solemnly, thinking that things would not be simple, so he asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Yu Dachuan said: "When His Highness left today, I asked me and the head of the high sect to act cheaply, so we found an excuse to kill the Jurchen when we arrived at Shilidian, but, just, it's just ...... Alas, after we put the person in the imperial prison, after being tortured by the people of Jinyiwei, we learned that the person's name was Kurbu, and he was actually the person whose status was second only to the deputy capital Guolai in the fine work sent by Jianzhou, and Guolai was escaped by him in Tongzhou, and Kurbu was the only person among these people who knew the details, but this person was killed by me because of revenge, and many clues in the firearms case were broken. ”

Zhu Youzhen stepped forward to help Yu Dachuan and said: "What should I do, I instructed you to do this, what are you guilty of, after today, this matter has nothing to do with us, how to deal with the aftermath is a matter of Jingying, how to collect evidence is the matter of Jinyiwei, and they have given them great credit, do they still dare to come to my house to be held accountable?" ”

Since Yu Dachuan came out of the Beizhen Mansion Division, he has been worried in his heart, he already owes a favor, and this time he broke a big thing for personal revenge, Yu Dachuan was full of guilt, and it was not until he listened to Zhu Youzhen's words at this time, and saw that he looked completely unimpressed, and the shame in his heart was slightly relieved.

Yu Dachuan walked to a table next to him, picked up a food box that had been placed there a long time ago, opened the lid and said, "I heard that His Royal Highness hasn't eaten since he came back, this is some of the pastries I bought in Zhengmingzhai......"

Zhu Youzhen walked over, picked up a piece of osmanthus cake from the food box and threw it into his mouth, and said with a smile: "It tastes good, Lao Yu has a heart, I'm really hungry." ”

"Your Highness eat slowly, I'll retire first." , After speaking, Yu Dachuan arched his hand and left.

After Yu Dachuan left, Zhu Youzhen just picked a few favorite pastries at random and paid a few bites, and at this time, he couldn't sleep if he wanted to go back to sleep, so he simply put on a robe and went out of the house, and lived in this mansion for many days, but he hadn't had a good visit for so long.

The night is sinking like water, the moon and stars are scarce, Zhu Youzhen wrapped his hand in a robe and stepped on the shadow of the tree out of the courtyard, only to see a petite figure in front of the door with his head down and wandering back and forth in front of the door, until Zhu Youzhen walked close and did not find it.

The figure stomped his foot slightly, as if he had made up his mind, bowed his head and turned around and walked into the courtyard, not thinking of someone in front of him, and plunged into the man's arms.

Zhu Youzhen looked at the person in his arms and said with a smile: "Xiu'er, is this freezing and going to Gongzi's arms to keep warm?" ”

The figure was none other than Jinxiu, and when he looked up and saw that it was Zhu Youzhen, Jinxiu couldn't help but feel ashamed, and hurriedly retreated two steps and said, "Why is Gongzi here?" ”

Zhu Youzhen said with a smile: "My son lives here, where else can I be if I'm not here?" ”

Jinxiu hurriedly waved her hand and said, "No, I mean that Gongzi is not sleeping in the room, why did he suddenly run outside the yard?" ”

Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but laugh when he looked at Jinxiu's low eyebrows and lowered his head in shame: "I woke up and took a walk, and by the way, I admired the moon in the wind, what are you doing standing at this door?" Isn't that to blame? I'm not afraid of the wind catching a cold, looking at your uncertain look, could it be that you know that your son is sleeping and hesitating to come in and sleep? ”

I thought that these words would make Jinxiu embarrassed again, but I didn't expect Jinxiu to raise her head suddenly, and her originally red face was pale in the moonlight. In this era of etiquette and defense, even if the Zhang family is defeated, Jinxiu has also been taught by etiquette since childhood, "The Female Commandment" and "The Legend of the Martyr" have not been read less, how can she withstand this kind of words, she trembled and said: "Is the son such a shameless woman when Jinxiu is so?" Although Jinxiu is a servant girl, she is also familiar with poetry and books, and she still understands some basic etiquette, righteousness and shame, and Jinxiu is not the kind of casual woman. ”

Zhu Youzhen still underestimated the etiquette and religious ideas of this era, but he didn't expect that in his opinion, an ordinary joke would provoke such a big reaction from the always docile Jinxiu, when he was playing around on weekdays, Zhu Youzhen often saw Jinxiu with a fascinated look, and thought that this girl had already fallen in love with herself, it seemed that she was thinking about it, seeing that the tears in Jinxiu's eyes were about to fall with the moonlight, Zhu Youzhen hurriedly said: "Xiu'er, don't cry, the master can't stand the woman crying, the master just made a joke, why are you still... …”

Zhu Youzhen didn't say that it was okay, after these few words, the strings of tears fell, Zhu Youzhen really hadn't seen a woman crying, and when he saw this situation, he suddenly had no idea, and hurriedly stepped forward, wiping his tears with his sleeve, while comforting: "Oh, my eldest lady, it's a young master, no, this son, it's not, it's not okay if I say the wrong thing?" Why are you still taking it seriously? No, it's not counted, it's just that I said the wrong thing, our Xiu'er is the best girl in the world, you must not be too careful, if you are still angry, hit me a few times to dissipate your anger, and then my words are a fart. After speaking, Zhu Youzhen picked up Jinxiu's hand and hit himself.

Seeing this situation, Jinxiu hurriedly withdrew his hand and sobbed: "How can Gongzi practice himself like this for Jinxiu, what kind of fart is not fart, it is all Jinxiu's bad, Jinxiu is too careful, just ask Gongzi not to say that kind of thing in the future, although Jinxiu's status is low, not as good as other young ladies, but he does not dare to insult the reputation of his ancestors." After speaking, Jinxiu took out a post from his sleeve and said: "This is a post sent by the young lady of Xu Shilang's family next door, please go to the house in two days to ask for some poetry rhyme." ”

After listening to Jinxiu, Zhu Youzhen understood that this girl was compared with Xu Ming'er, he took the post and opened it and took a casual look, only the moonlight couldn't see it clearly, while looking at him, he said to Jinxiu: "You went back to Miss Xu for me, two days later, the Beijing camp will perform martial arts, and the master is not available." After speaking, Zhu Youzhen handed the post back to Jinxiu and said: "Xiu'er can't be arrogant, otherwise she will lose the name of Taiyue Gong, the master has never been a servant girl, and you are not more noble than anyone's young lady in my house?" When there is a chance in the future, the master will help Taiyue to be fair. ”

Hearing Zhu Youzhen's words, Jinxiu raised her hand to wipe away her tears, then pulled Zhu Youzhen's sleeve and said, "What Childe said is true?" ”

Zhu Youzhen saw that he had finally coaxed Jinxiu, looked at the light rain and sunny, and said with a smile: "When did this son coax you?" ”

"Splendid thanks to the son." , is a young girl, still a teenager's heart, Jinxiu has already forgotten the previous things, and is in a good mood for a while, and made a brisk walk to Zhu Youzhen, and turned around and ran away happily with the post.

Zhu Youzhen saw that Jinxiu ran away, and couldn't help but sigh: "It's really a woman's heart, how can this face change when she says it." ”
