Chapter 122: People will be unlucky
"This high arch. Dare to persecute me in front of me. It's ...... It's just lawless. "After Zhu Zaiyuan went down to the court. Didn't go to the Imperial Study. I didn't go to the queen's bedchamber. Instead, he came to the bedroom of Zhu Yijun's biological mother Li Guifei. In an irritable mood, he wanted to find someone to tell him about his boredom. However, even now that you are angry, he still retains a shred of sanity. Knowing that his queen Chen has always been frail and sickly. Didn't bother him. And most of the palace ladies who serve themselves on weekdays are just to welcome themselves. So he came to Concubine Li's bedroom.
Li Guifei is now immersed in the joy brought to her by her newly born child Zhu Yiyi. Although Zhu Yijun is still an extremely obedient child in front of her. But as a mother. There is always something to be concerned about when it comes to children who are born later. Today she is teasing Zhu Yiyi. The child was just over a year old at birth. It's the time when it's the loveliest. Zhu Yijun, who let Li Guifei not even see each other for a long time, just asked the little eunuch to come and ask An to say hello, but he didn't notice such a strange situation.
I saw Zhu Zaiyuan walking in in a hurry. Li Guifei's face was a little weird. thought that Zhu Zaiyuan, who is always tepid on weekdays, would look like this again. Concubine Li Guifei also had no bottom in her heart. I don't know what happened to him. And so. Li Guifei, who had just wanted to ask and hadn't spoken, heard Zhu Zaiyuan's almost yelling voice in front of her.
Zhu Yiyi, who was still playing happily in his mother's arms just now, was immediately alarmed by his father's loud roar. He doesn't know much about royal etiquette these days. Immediately began to cry. The sharp voice was really earth-shattering and heart-rending. Zhu Zaiyuan heard his son's cry. I knew that I was scaring the child. It's just that he is troubled now. In addition, there are many palace maids and eunuchs here. It's hard to say anything forgiving.
Li Guifei has followed Zhu Zaigao for many years. His temper is clear. Know when to put on a posture as a concubine. also knows when to put on the posture of today's crown prince's mother. Although she didn't know what was going on. However, seeing that he is usually gentle, Zhu Zaiyuan is like this now. Apparently angry. She didn't blame anything. Instead, he hurriedly made his eyes look and asked the palace maid on the side to come over and say that Zhu Yiyi, who was still crying, hugged him in. He also asked the other palace maids and eunuchs in the dormitory to go out and close the door. Only then did he slowly walk to Zhu Zaiyuan's side. Help him to sit down. Poured him a cup of tea. He said, "Your Majesty." Hurry up and sit down. Let off steam. Why rush to get angry over such trivial matters. Drink a cup of tea and crush the shock. "When he said these words. Li Guifei couldn't help but think in her heart. remembered that Zhu Zaiyuan just talked about the high arch. Could it be that this high arch made Zhu Zaiyuan angry.
Zhu Zaiyuan, who was holding the teacup, just wanted to put the quilt to his mouth. Heard the words from Li Guifei's mouth. I couldn't help but think of the troubles that Gao Gong brought to me. He slammed the cup on the table. Regardless of the splashed tea, it splashed on his dragon robe and Li Guifei's body. He stood up again and sighed.
Concubine Li didn't have the slightest hint of blame in her heart. I don't care about the tea stains on my clothes. Instead, those handkerchiefs gently came to Zhu Zaiyuan's side to wipe them for him. He also said, "Your Majesty, why is it like this?" If it's good or bad because of those people's popularity. That's how it can be good. ”
listened to the words of his beloved concubine. Zhu Zaiyuan also felt that he was a little out of shape. I just wanted to speak. There was another knock at the door. Ignoring it, Long Qing turned around and sat down in his chair. The person outside the door spoke: "Your Majesty, the concubine Niangnian." The slave has something to play. It was the voice of a little eunuch.
Li Guifei knew that Zhu Zaiyuan was angry. I don't want to pay attention. But I'm afraid of something important. I had to ask, "What's the matter?" But it matters. ”
The little eunuch outside was a newcomer who had only been in the palace for a few months. A lot of things are not clear at all. This time, I was pulled to the top tank without knowing it. He was still happy that he had only been in the palace for a short time before he could come into contact with the emperor and the concubine. Now I hear Li Guifei culture. Immediately replied: "Back to Niangniang." The slave and maid came to deliver the fold to His Majesty. It is an excerpt of the first assistant of the cabinet. The words reveal festive and flattering meanings.
Li Guifei knew something bad as soon as she heard it. The heart said that this eunuch was too blind. Why don't you open which pot to mention. Sure enough, there was the sound of a cup popping on the ground behind him. Then she saw Zhu Zaiyuan walking straight towards the gate. It's too late to stop it.
Zhu Zaiyuan was angry. Li Guifei's persuasion and gentleness just now calmed him down for the time being. How do you know that this little eunuch who was framed doesn't know any of this at all. When he opened his mouth, he brought the word "high arch". But the sound is weirdly festive. The anger that had just calmed down in Zhu Zaiyuan's heart ignited again. Walk over and open the door. I saw that the eunuch was kneeling respectfully in front of the door. Holding two folds in both hands, they are held high above their heads.
Zhu Zaiyuan looked at the two folds. There is a high arch in my heart. The anger in my heart is even greater. The splitter snatched the two folds from his hand. The eunuch was kneeling there with his head bowed. See the door open. The person who came out was wearing dragon boots. I was rejoicing in my heart. Who knows......
Zhu Zaiyuan grabbed two copies of the fold and didn't even look at it. and fell on the eunuch's head. Although the two folds are too light. There was no strength. But the eunuch was still stunned by Long Qing. I haven't come back to my senses. Zhu Zaiyuan's foot in the dragon boots kicked him. Immediately kicked the eunuch in all directions. Fall to the ground. Where can Zhu Zaiyuan manage so much. When he stepped forward, he kicked the eunuch violently. It's just that Zhu Zaiyuan has long been hollowed out by those ** and women. Where there is any strength. It didn't hurt much to kick the eunuch. But the eunuch was startled. I didn't dare to move even when I was lying on the ground. I immediately understood in my heart that I had been framed. He is also very clever in his mind. Immediately the ghost screamed. "What emperor spares his life" or something. The voice was miserable. The palace maid and eunuch standing outside the door on the side saw Zhu Zaiyuan, who had never been angry, and now looked like this. Everyone was terrified. Where dare to come forward to persuade driving.
Li Guifei saw that the eunuch was a face she had never seen before. Immediately knew that this was a newcomer who had been caught in the top tank. She also has a good heart. Hurriedly stepped forward to persuade the driver: "Your Majesty." Your Majesty. Don't be impatient. Listen to the concubine. This eunuch is also innocent. Your Majesty, why is it so angry. It's not good to hurt yourself. ”
Zhu Zaiyuan didn't seem to hear it. A few more hard kicks. I don't know if it's because I'm out of strength or what. Zhu Zaiyuan, who stopped his shadowless feet, turned around and went back to the house and sat back on the chair. Perhaps I was thirsty. Zhu Zaiyuan also doesn't use a teacup. Regardless of the image of his own emperor. Picked up the teapot and lifted the lid, and just like that, it was poured. The palace maids and eunuchs on the side had never seen Zhu Zaiyuan's appearance. Quickly turn your face to the side.
Concubine Li Guifei sent the little eunuch away with her eyes here, hurry up. I turned my head and saw this scene. But she wasn't surprised. When I was in Yuwang's Mansion. Zhu Zaiyuan heard the news of Jiajing from the palace. Most of them look like this. Li Guifei picked up the fold that fell on the ground. Entered the house and closed the door to Zhu Zaiyuan.
Zhu Zaiyuan put down the teapot. looked at the fold in Li Guifei's hand. He also didn't care about the already soaked dragon robe on his body. He said, "This mortal thing. What are you going to do when you pick it up? ”
Li Guifei did not answer. But he put the fold aside. Smile gently. said: "The concubine will wait for His Majesty to change his clothes." It's summer. It was very hot. But this wet clothes are worn on His Majesty. It's not going to be good. ”
Zhu Zaiyuan looked at his clothes. Laugh dryly. Li Guifei didn't care. took out the dragon robe that he had prepared for Zhu Zaiyuan in his dormitory and changed it for him.
changed Zhu Zaiyuan's clothes. Li Guifei picked up the two folds again. I don't care at all about the harem and not interfering in politics, which is the ancestral precept set by Zhu Yuanzhang. I flipped through it in front of Zhu Zaiyuan. And Zhu Zaiyuan didn't care. I assume it as if I didn't see it.
The excerpt of the high arch impeachment of Xu Jiejie is not long. Li Guifei will finish reading it in a while. However, the excerpt at the back with the testimonies of those peasants is quite long. However, Li Guifei, who already understood the reason for the matter, didn't need to look at it anymore.
"The concubine thought that something was so angry that His Majesty was so angry. That's what happened. Li Guifei said with a smile.
Know that she wasn't laughing at herself. But Zhu Zaiyuan still snorted softly. Concubine Li didn't care at all. came to the back of Zhu Zaiyuan's chair and gently rubbed his shoulders for him. opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty is angry now. But anger alone can't solve this problem. In a few days, Gao Gong will still bother Your Majesty. Your Majesty should still think about what to do. ”
"Ugh." Listened to Li Guifei's words. Zhu Zaiyuan let out a long sigh.
As soon as Concubine Li heard this, she knew that Zhu Zaiyuan had already begun to think about her words. She's not in a hurry. still pressed Zhu Zaiyuan's shoulders.
Half a day. Zhu Zaiyuan opened his mouth and said, "This matter." I don't know what to do anymore. ”
"Your Majesty once said it in the ear of your concubine. Do you hate Xu Jie? Why is it that there are people who want to cure him now? His Majesty was not happy. Li Guifei said playfully.
"I'm nasty. It's not hate. Again. This Xu Jie, who is just relying on his identity to say something big. Zhu Zaiyuan said. And this high arch. This fold on him obviously wanted to put Xu Jie's death. ”
"Then what does Your Majesty mean?" Li Guifei wanted to explore Zhu Zaiyuan's tone first.
"If only I didn't know the truth. But a few days ago, Zhang Aiqing went on the road. Said about it. Obviously, it was Xu Jie, he was for those peasants. "Zhu Zaiyuan told the story." But yesterday, Feng Bao took the fold that Gao Gong was preparing to come up to me privately. It was written completely opposite to Zhang Aiqing. Xu Jie became a local tyrant who specialized in oppressing farmers. Or the most stubborn. ”
Li Guifei naturally knew that the "Zhang Aiqing" in Zhu Zaiyuan's mouth referred to Zhang Fan. Listened to these. She couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty." Which of these two is telling the truth? Although the concubine did not know this. But it was this way, and the two of them and Xu Jie were a little unhappy. ”
Zhang Aiqing categorically won't. Although Xu Jie obstructed him many times. However, it did not deal any blow to Zhang Aiqing. And Zhang Aiqing acts just like his teacher Zhang Juzheng. It is definitely not so desperate. Zhu Zaiyuan said without even thinking about it. But the high arch is different. The two times I went home were given by the Xu steps. How can you not hold a grudge against him. ”
Li Guifei suddenly thought that Gao Gong was able to return to the court this time. And as soon as he returned, he served as the first assistant to the cabinet. But it was thanks to Zhang Juzheng. When I was in Yuwang's Mansion. Li Guifei admired Zhang Juzheng's personality. Now it's time to ask.
listened to Li Guifei's questioning. Zhu Zaiyuan felt that it was a little difficult to return. He knew it in his heart. Zhang Juzheng's recommendation of Gao Gong was not because he really had a big conflict with his mentor Xu Jie. It's not because he and Gao Gong Bing released their previous suspicions. Rather, it is to strike at those in the DPRK. Zhu Zaiyuan also acquiesced in this matter. But now...... I thought about it. Zhu Zaiyuan could only say to Li Guifei that Zhang Juzheng was also afraid of gossip at that time. And Li Chunfang has some meaning of not asking about the world. In addition, Guo Pu had been saying good things about Gao Gong at that time. As a last resort. Zhang Juzheng only recommended the high arch.
Li Guifei was relieved when she heard this. I thought about it. She said, "Actually. Between ministers and concubines. Your Majesty, why should you be angry? Wouldn't it be enough to find out the truth of this matter? ”
"I don't know. I'm not mad at this. Zhu Zaiyuan said. I am the air, the high arch and the thrust together. The inner court and the outer court colluded with each other. Yesterday, Feng Bao presented me with an excerpt that was a high arch and a private rush. I'm going to let him present it to me. But it was no longer rushed by Feng Bao. Secretly handed it over to me. I only found out about this. ”
Concubine Li also understood when she heard it. She naturally knew Feng Bao's thoughts. Now it's time for him to seize his chance. But she still doesn't know anything. I couldn't help asking, "Your Majesty." Since this high arch is in collusion with the onslaught. This is a violation of Taizu's legacy. Your Majesty just has to investigate. ”
"What's the use. No conclusive evidence could be found. The high arch is just a debt. I am even the Son of Heaven. Now he, the head of the cabinet, has nothing to do. When he said the words "Cabinet Chief". Zhu Zaiyuan gritted his teeth a little.
"Then what is Your Majesty worried about?" Concubine Li asked.
"I am a high arch of qi. The air arch is high at the time of the morning today. He openly forced me in front of the ministers and ordered Xu Jie's arrest on the spot. "It turned out that the reason why Zhu Zaiyuan was really angry was because Gao Gong's actions in the main hall today made him, the emperor, very faceless.
Li Guifei, who understood this, could not persuade Zhu Zaiyuan to let go of this matter. It's just that she doesn't usually have less contact with these things. But now I don't have an idea for a while: "That." His Majesty intends to ......"
"Hmph. I want Gao Gong to know. Don't look at my usual days. But I am also the emperor of this Ming Dynasty. He can't be so presumptuous. Zhu Zaiyuan said. At this time, he was more like an emperor than ever.
Concubine Li heard it on the side. Knowing that the high arch is going to be unlucky. I guess it would be nice to be able to save my life. But this matter has nothing to do with her. That's what the royal family is. What's more, she doesn't like high arches very much.
Thinking about these. Li Guifei suddenly thought. Zhu Zaiyuan has not been to his dormitory for a long time. Now she is approaching the age of thirty. It is a time when a woman's needs are at their strongest. looked at Zhu Zaiyuan. Concubine Li, who was full of fantasies, couldn't help but blush a little.
Come to Zhu Zaiyuan's side. She spoke, "Don't talk about these troubles. Your Majesty hasn't been to the concubine's palace for a long time. It's a very hot day now, too. Your Majesty is here today. Just stay with the concubine. The concubine only asked the imperial dining room to make something cold today. Just for Your Majesty to go to the fire. When he said the last three words. Li Guifei couldn't help but blush. The voices are a lot quieter.
Zhu Zaiyuan looked at her mature and beautiful face. It's like the first time I found out that this woman who has been with me for ten years is so beautiful. And as Concubine Li just said. Zhu Zaiyuan feels that he is very popular now. As for the fire that was made by the high arch. Whether it is something else is unknown. It's just that he has already made up his mind to stay. As for the detrimental detriment of etiquette. It's not the first time Zhu Zaiyuan has done it. Where will the admiral eunuch in charge of etiquette in the palace ask.
