Chapter 441: Lies

Zhu Gaochi looked back left and right, and saw that several ministers didn't mean to speak anymore, so he waved his hand, "After Yang Shilang (Yang Shiqi) and Yang Siqing (Yang Rong) discuss the matter of the Di report, come to see me again." ”

The ministers saluted one after another: "Wait for the ministers to thank you and retire." ”

Zhu Gaochi turned his head to Hou Hai and said: "It's not early, you call Huang Zhong in, tell everyone else to go back, and discuss it another day." ”

Haitao said: "The slave obeys the order." ”

The person who sent the medal to Zhang Fu was not an ordinary official, but Huang Zhong, the left deputy general of the Jiaozhi Army. When Zhu Gaochi learned about this, he wanted to meet him no matter what.

After a while, Huang Zhong entered and prostrated and bowed, and the number of salutes was very respectful.

Zhu Gaochi called him up and asked, "The British sent you to Beijing, what else is there?" ”

"Weichen ......" Huang Zhong glanced sideways at Haitao who was standing next to him. Zhu Gaochi turned his head to look at Haitao, nodded slightly, and Haitao immediately walked backwards towards the outside of the Dongnuan Pavilion.

Huang Zhong said: "Minister, please take a few steps forward." ”

Zhu Gaochi nodded in agreement. Huang Zhong walked to the side of the imperial case and whispered: "There is a sentence in the British public that wants to enter the holy word, and it is inconvenient to write it on the recital. The British minister asked Weichen to speak and remind the Holy Jiangyin Marquis Wu Gao of the matter of taking charge of the army. ”

Zhu Gaochi frowned and said, "Wu Gaochi didn't move forward, could it be done on purpose?" ”

Huang Zhong shook his head and said, "That's not the case...... The British duke did not say a word about the use of troops by the Marquis of Jiangyin, but said that the Marquis of Jiangyin could regain military power itself. ”

Zhu Gaochi was silent for a long time, then raised his head and asked, "Finished?" ”

Huang Zhong hurriedly bowed: "Weichen only has one word, please retire." ”

Huang Zhongdai's words were too vague, but Zhu Gaochi thought it was not that simple. Zhang Fu asked a general to personally send the concert chapter into Beijing, just to say a word to the saint, can it be so simple? Unless Zhang Fu's mind is confused.

…… Not long ago, on the inclined corridor, Yang Shiqi, Yang Rong and several other ministers came over, and the eunuch Haitao also followed. Haitao told other civil and military forces to disperse, and at that time, Yang Shiqi saw a lost and heavy expression on the face of Xu Huizu, the Duke of Wei.

The holy decree was to ask Yang Shiqi and Yang Rong to discuss the matter of the mansion again, so Yang Shiqi and Yang Rong walked out of the Qianqing Palace side by side.

They walked to the wide brick floor next to the three major halls, and Yang Shiqi spoke: "Just before the saint, Mian Ren (Yang Rong) knew that the Di Bao wrote like that, I don't approve of it. ”

Yang Rong said: "The words of the saint need to be revised, but the most important thing has not been vetoed. ”

Yang Shiqi didn't refute, and walked for a while with his head down.

Suddenly, Yang Rong asked, "Brother, do you know why the Holy Lord didn't veto?" ”

Yang Shiqi said: "I want to hear it in detail." ”

Yang Rong turned his head to look behind him, and said in a deep voice: "Zhang Fu's recital, brother has read it carefully?" There's a passage in it...... The Marquis of Zhenyuan was stationed under the city of Kunming, and in mid-February, the military rations were burned by the rebel generals in peace; Chen Qizhi searched everywhere in the grain storage department, but to no avail. ”

He paused for a moment, and then said quietly: "When did Guizhou City break?" Less than mid-February? ”

Yang Shiqi had to admire Yang Rong's memory, and he could recite the original text after reading it once. Yang Shiqi also understood Yang Rong's meaning, and felt that Yang Rong was indeed good at observing words and emotions and figuring out the holy will.

The battle in the southwest was defeated, and the facts grasped by the imperial court would not deviate too much; Even the generals' recitals are many

According to the report, after all, what the chapter gave to the saint was not a newspaper. Several generals who participated in the war before and after were all guilty! Either they were ineffective in their battles, or they were hesitant to move forward, but at least they didn't mean to.

And Gu Cheng is different! In order to protect his family, did he really ignore the important matter of the imperial court's counterinsurgency and did the matter of self-immolation of military rations?

Zhang Fu hinted in the recital that he was afraid that he would plant doubts in the heart of the saint. Therefore, although Yang Rong's words were exaggerated, the saint did not completely veto them, and he may indeed be very angry at Gu Cheng's actions.

Yang Shiqi thought of this, so he no longer persuaded Yang Rong, he muttered: "As long as you tell a lie, you can't just say one sentence." ”

"Lies?" Yang Rong repeated.

Yang Shiqi glanced at Yang Rong and said, "My proposition is that in the section of the Di Bao about the Marquis of Zhenyuan, plus the burning of military rations. ”

Yang Rong thought for a while, nodded vigorously, and said, "Makes sense!" I will go to the Holy Word again, and order the Marquis of Zhenyuan to return to Beijing to report on his work. There is also a rebellion of the Jiaozhi people, and the rest of the Guizhou army can be sent to the Jiaozhi political envoy to reinforce it, and after the imperial court quells the rebellion of the Han king, the Guizhou army can return to their hometown. ”

The two looked at each other and acted very tacitly. Although their political views are often opposite, somehow, Yang Rong has a good relationship with Yang Shiqi in private.

Yang Shiqi said: "There is one more thing to do, find someone to impeach Guo Ming for collaborating with the enemy, and it is related to the fall of Guizhou City." ”

"Can Guo Ming be blamed for this?" Yang Rong frowned and groaned.

Yang Shiqi said: "A while ago, there were many people who fell into Guo Ming's well, and if we do this, we can also make the best use of others." ”

…… At this time, Zhu Gaochi had already left the Qianqing Palace, and he went straight to the bedroom of the noble concubine Zhang Miaohua.

Zhang Miaohua greeted her at the gate of the palace with a big belly, and bent down, but she still wanted to salute. Zhu Gaochi hurriedly stretched out his hand and gestured in the air: "Hurry up." Beware, concubine. ”

Zhu Gaochi walked to him, then stretched out his hand to support Zhang Miaohua, and instructed the eunuch palace maid to help her in.

Zhang Miaohua's belly is very big, and according to the imperial doctor, labor is imminent. Zhu Gaochi sat down on the chair, shushing the cold and asking for warmth, while looking at the bulging belly with great interest.

"You said it was a prince or a princess?" Zhu Gaochi asked casually.

Zhang Miaohua blushed and said: "I don't know about the concubine, but the imperial doctor said that it is very likely to be the prince." ”

Zhu Gaochi nodded. Since Zhang Miaohua entered the palace, he has been very favored by him. But today he was a little distracted and talked a lot.

The words brought by Zhang Fu, the father of the concubine, have been lingering in Zhu Gaochi's heart. In fact, there is no need for Zhang Fu to remind Zhu Gaochi that after learning of the defeat in the southwest, he was also pondering repeatedly......

First of all, Zhu Gaochi thought of the past of the Yongle Dynasty. At that time, his father didn't like him a lot, and Zhu Gaochi always felt that his father made him the crown prince, which was very reluctant. There are rumors that Taizong wants to pass on the throne to his grandson, but Zhu Gaochi himself still has a suspicion: his father was forced to compromise.

After the "Battle of Jingyan", the henchmen and advisers of the Yan Wangfu and many civil servants in the court, for the long-term plan of their own status, all supported Zhu Gaochi as the crown prince, and had the title of eldest son as a reason. Taizong killed a lot of people, but he couldn't kill all the people around him who supported him as emperor? So in the end, Emperor Taizong could not fully control the position of those people, so he had to compromise.

Now, Zhu Gaochi is facing the same problem. Those who have the skills of the dragon and support him the most as the emperor may be colluding with Empress Zhang and the eldest son born to the empress!

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

And Zhang Fu's daughter Zhang Guifei was extremely favored by the emperor, and she was pregnant with a dragon species, faintly threatening the queen. Therefore, the queen and the ministers echoed inside and outside, and finally contributed to the recognition of Xu Huizu's ideas and the recommendation of the old general Wu Gao to take charge of the army; Want to suppress Zhang Fu's momentum with this?

Whether it is the affairs of the Yongle Dynasty or the speculation of the current situation, Zhu Gaochi is thinking about it himself. He could not be sure if this was the case, much less could he consult with anyone about it; Maybe it's just that he's overthinking...... However, judging from the hints brought by Zhang Fu's secret envoy, Zhang Fu may also have such speculations!

Zhu Gaochi looked at his body that was too fat to ride a horse to fight, he sometimes felt like a prisoner, locked up in the imperial city, what could he do with those people? Even a person as irritable as his father would not dare to kill people indiscriminately, but would Zhu Gaochi dare?

"Alas!" Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but sigh.

Zhang Miaohua's voice said: "Is there any trouble in the saint? ”

Zhu Gaochi showed a reluctant smile, shook his head and said: "It's all a matter in the court, you don't have to worry, you just have to rest for a while." ”

"The concubine is grateful." Zhang Miaohua said movingly.

At this moment, a palace maid brought tea to Zhu Gaochi. At first, Zhu Gaochi didn't pay attention, thinking that she was a eunuch, but turned his head and glanced at Fang Zhizhi as a palace maid. The women of the palace disguised themselves as men, wearing robes, buns and scarves.

When Zhu Gaochi saw it, he felt that the young woman was dressed like this, and she was very pretty, so she couldn't help but look at it twice.

Zhang Miaohua said: "Her name is Nightingale, and she followed the concubine when she was very young. When the concubine entered the palace, she was reluctant to let her, so the queen grace brought the nightingale into the palace together. ”

"Nightingale?" Zhu Gaochi said casually, "Scream...... Nice to talk to, right? ”

Zhang Miaohua said: "Nightingale, quickly say a word to the saint." ”

The palace maid bent her knees and made a blessing, her white and red face showed shyness, "The slave and maid visit the emperor, and the emperor has no borders." ”

Zhu Gaochi smiled: "It's really good!" He immediately stood up with some difficulty, "Nightingale, give me a hand, and let me go and change my clothes." ”

The palace maid hurriedly stepped forward to support Zhu Gaochi and took him to the back to find the toilet.

Zhu Gaochi was helped into a carved wooden door, he turned around and closed the wooden door with a "creak", and suddenly pressed the palace maid to the wall. "Yikes!" The nightingale called out nicely, and Zhu Gao bent down impatiently and put his hand into his own robe. The palace maid's face turned red, and she said in a trembling voice: "Emperor, don't be like this, don't ...... like this"

"You don't want to?" Zhu Gaochi frowned and asked.

The palace maid bit her lip and nodded, "Slave maid...... The slave did not dare to be unwilling. ”

Zhu Gaochi glanced left and right, then sat down on a stool, and said with a long breath: "Come here, you will still be dressed like this in the future, quite pretty." Pingsu went to the East Warm Pavilion to wait for me. ”

"Qianqing Palace's East Warm Pavilion?" The nightingale looked surprised in timidity.

Zhu Gaochi nodded, patted his head and said, "You can't be illiterate, right?" ”

The palace maid hurriedly said: "The slave maid is literate, and the concubine Niangniang has taught the slave maid." ”

Zhu Gaochi said: "That's good, wait for me in the Dongnuan Pavilion, I keep my eyes on it, listen to your warbler-like crisp voice, maybe I can rest my worries for a while." ”

The palace maid blushed and said, "The slave and maid thank the emperor for his kind words." ”
