Chapter 308: The Partiality of the Son of Heaven

Isn't this the sword that Zhu Di pointed at his nose at the beginning?

No matter who is scolding after being pointed at the nose by the Son of Heaven with a sword, and then almost smashed his head by the inkstone thrown by the splitter, and finally doing things by mistake, he will never forget this experience of ups and downs. It was at that time that he really realized how lucky it was to have an elder in charge of the Jinyi Guard to help behind him. If there was no Yuan Fang, I was afraid that his father-in-law would have to stay in prison for a long time.

Rubbing the tiny gaps on the blade, Zhang Yue had completely believed what Lu Feng said. It is impossible for anyone in the world to boldly compete with Zhu Di, the Son of Heaven, let alone make such a gap in the sword of the Son of Heaven; It is even more impossible for the dignified emperor to use this sword to cut people in the palace. It was only during the first few northern expeditions that Zhu Di would use this sword to kill people. It can be seen that this sword is extremely well maintained, and it is about Zhu Di's favorite thing, but I am afraid that he will have to return it when he runs out this time.

Handed the sword to Du Juan casually, he suddenly remembered something, and said with a smile: "Everyone knows that I have never practiced martial arts, so from childhood to now, the elders want to give gifts such as pen, ink, paper, inkstone and books, in addition to the weapons used to practice martial arts, this is the second sword I received." You've always been smart, guess who gave me the first sword? ”

"The first sword?" Du Juan couldn't help frowning, seeing Zhang Yue's face full of cunning, she suddenly had an idea, "Could it be Daddy?" ”

"I even guessed it for you! That's right, it was left to me by my father-in-law before he went to Nanjing, and I still remember that he said in his letter, 'The sword is a sharp weapon, and it is also a murder weapon'. It's just that I've never had a chance to use it, and I've always been pressed under the box, so I'm afraid that I'll break it when I use this to practice swords. They say I'm a butcher, but I haven't even killed chickens myself. ”

Seeing that Du Juan was curious, Zhang Yue pulled her into the back room, rummaged through the cabinets and found the long wooden box. Although he has not used it, Zhang Yue often takes it out to wipe and maintain it when he organizes things, so he pressed the machine spring to draw the sword out of the sheath, Du Juan's eyes immediately lit up, and he couldn't help but stretch out his fingers to caress the spine of the sword, with a thoughtful expression on his face.

"This sword seems to be made by skilled craftsmen, not those fancy shelves, but my father should have never used it."

"That's right." Zhang Yue raised his eyebrows, and then smiled, "Father-in-law, I don't know where this sword came from, to say a big disrespectful word, the scabbards of the two swords look very different, if you pull out the sword, I am afraid that nine out of ten people will admit their mistakes." Who would have thought that the sword given to me by the emperor was actually used by himself, and it looked scarred, as if it could be broken with a light touch. Do you know that the emperor made an extra mention in the secret decree, let me go to Jiangnan with great fanfare this time, you might as well bring a few maids with you. ”

Outside the door curtain, Amber, who had originally planned to go in, quietly took a few steps back, put the pile of clothes that had just been collected from the greenhouse in her hand on the kang, and carefully folded them one by one. Although she just overheard a few words, she is smart by nature, where does she not understand the joints? It's good now, the autumn marks that have been muttering for a while can now breathe a sigh of relief; And with the spirit rhino, the old lady can rest assured; As for herself, it is better to follow Zhang Yue than to stay at home.

Inshou Palace East Warm Pavilion.

Zhu Di has always been suspicious, and he is extremely disgusted by the fact that the officials seem to have colluded with the group to attack. Therefore, he did not want to see the memoranda presented by the Secretary of General Affairs, and all of them were thrown to the cabinet. Since the crown prince has taken over more than half of the trivial affairs, he now only has to deal with the promotion and deposition of personnel and important military affairs.

"Your Majesty, Jinyiwei routinely reports."

Hearing the respectful voice of the little eunuch on the side, Zhu Di raised his head and took a document from the vermilion lacquer plate casually. This has been an old practice for many years, and Jin Yiwei's recent investigation has been summarized into a document and reported every three days, although most of the time it is just a trivial matter, but occasionally he can find some important clues from it, so he has taken the routine as a relaxation. At least, it's easier than looking at the beautiful words that are actually just invective.

The content recorded in the document is not interesting, and it can even be called a flat and straightforward narrative to the extreme, such as "Zuodu Yushi XX visited the head of the Ministry of Rites and Rites, and came out half an hour later, doubtfully discussing the impeachment of Shang", for example, "Mrs. XX has a birthday banquet today, a number of guests are entertained, and a number of birthday gifts are accepted"...... Naturally, under important news, Jinyiwei has always been marked with ink lines, such as this one.

"In September Bingyin, Zhang Yue visited the tomb of the late Fuchun Bo Fangsheng's grandson Fangling, and got drunk in the wine shop. Fang Ling is the concubine of Fang Tongda, the avant-garde commander of Jinwu, and the younger brother of Fang Ruan of Qianhu, who was guilty of Li Maofang, Marquis of Fuyang, a few months ago, and was expelled from the Guozi Prison, and his father and brother did not ask. His people and Zhang Yue and the Jinyi Guard, the guards of the pro-army Sun Han, had a good relationship, and he was heroic and righteous, and he was both civil and military. ”

"Civil, civil, and military?"

Seeing this, Zhu Di couldn't help but lightly tap the armrest with his middle finger with great interest, and raised his chin thoughtfully. As the Son of Heaven, he can naturally only be a concubine, but from other perspectives, he doesn't care about this so-called human morality. Although he can't admit his biological mother, he can build a large Bao'en Temple to repay his biological mother's kindness, and he can also reuse Zhang Yue, who is just a branch of Zhang's family. Therefore, when he learned that Fang Ling had offended Li Maofang, the Marquis of Fuyang, and was expelled from the State Prison, his father and brother didn't even ask, and he couldn't help but snort contemptuously.

"Fang Sheng was the first to raise troops to surrender to me, although he was just a mediocre person in the war, but at least he still had some vision, and he didn't expect his son to have no responsibility at all. Li Maofang...... That kid who doesn't know anything about civil and military affairs is really embarrassing! ”

After muttering a sentence to himself, Zhu Di casually wrote a few words with a red pen on a piece of paper, and called a little eunuch: "Give it to the cabinet and order it to be issued immediately." In addition, it is rumored that Liu Sheng, Marquis of Anyuan, has come to see me! ”

The cabinet of the Yongle Dynasty was only a reserve counselor and assistant manager, and had no decision-making power, let alone the right to oppose and refute. Therefore, even though Jin Youzi frowned on the piece of paper with the emperor's imperial pen Zhu Pi, and was extremely disapproving, he still had to take it. When Yang Rong came back from the official business, he had no choice but to hand over the piece of paper.

"Now that there are constant discussions between the DPRK and China, the emperor only protects Zhang Yue and sends him to Jiangnan, what is going on now? This Fang Ling is a prisoner who has just been expelled from the Guozi Prison, even if he is a meritorious person, it is really unruly to suddenly grant 100 households in Beijing. Even if it is Aiwu and Wu, could it be that the emperor who is close to Zhang Yue has to reuse it? ”

"How do you know that this Fang Ling and Zhang Yue are close?" Yang Rong was not moved at all after reading the piece of paper, but raised his head and glanced at Jin Youzi with a smile, "Youzi, you are very well informed about this news, I don't even know about it!" ”

Faced with Yang Rong's fluttering rhetorical question, Jin Youzi was suddenly dumbfounded, and when he saw Yang Rong go straight back to his desk to do things, ignoring him at all, he suddenly became even more annoyed. Although there is no hierarchy in the cabinet, outsiders will inevitably distinguish between the strong and the weak, and Yang Shiqi is just old, but Yang Rong is clearly the youngest, why does everyone think that he is before him? On articles, military strategies, conduct and machine changes, he did not lose to Yang Rong at all, why should Yang Rong be proud of himself?

Annoyed is annoyed, errand is errand, even if there are a thousand and ten thousand unwilling, Jin Youzi had to draw up an edict and personally send it to Renshou Palace with a seal, and watched a big eunuch hold the holy decree of the yellow silk cover and take a few little eunuchs out of the palace. Although he was not driven by the previous turmoil, he had the intention of watching the excitement in his heart, who knew that in the end, the emperor would protect his shortcomings like this?

"Lord Jin, why is he so bruised, could it be that he was reprimanded by the emperor in Renshou Palace?"

Jin Youzi, who was going down the steps, heard this voice, and hurriedly raised his head, and saw that it was Huang Yan standing in front of him with two little eunuchs, he immediately put on a calm face, and said with a faint smile: "Huang Gonggong said that it was funny, I just thought that the rebellion in Jiaozhi is difficult to quell, and the new official is difficult to select, so I am a little annoyed." ”

"Oh, it turns out that Lord Jin is so careful." Huang Yan nodded with a smile, and just let Jin Youzi go, and when he saw the people over there walking away, he beckoned behind him, and ordered with an expressionless face, "Go and ask, what did Jin Youzi do when he just arrived in Renshou Palace, and report everything in detail." ”

After sending away a little eunuch, he asked another little eunuch, "When does Meng Xian expect to leave?" Zhao Wang can arrange all the people? ”

"Father-in-law Qiyu, King Zhao has already sent everyone over, and now the Meng family has made up for it, and even the girl who burns the fire is not lacking. It's just that King Zhao asked Xiao to ask his father-in-law, although the other two commanders of Changshan's guards are not as good as Lord Meng, but the emperor has clearly disliked him, what kind of technique can his father-in-law use to return to heaven to work? ”

"If you say it clearly, what kind of technique is it to return to heaven?" Huang Yan sneered pitifully, raised his hand and gently rubbed his chin, "The emperor must have doubts about this matter, so he has to use his strength." If it weren't for the fact that he was indispensable, why would our family have to work so hard? By the way, the person we asked you to install next to Lu Feng's little monkey can be done? ”

After receiving an affirmative answer, Huang Yan smiled proudly. How do you know how valuable your experience and experience are? Lu Feng intends to get close to Zhang Yue, isn't it just that he likes the background of others, but unfortunately it is not the son of the British duke, what kind of dignity can be regarded as it!

The Meng family, which has passed the 100-day mourning period of Mrs. Wu, has gradually gained some vitality in the past few days, not only has it made up for people inside and outside, but also because Meng Xian, who is the master, is no longer blindly lifeless and has a straight face, and has returned to his former vigor in doing things, this weather is even different. Even the once empty account room is now back to full income.

With the recovery of the Meng family, Red Sleeves faced a piece of silver and a delicate jewelry box on the kang table, but Meng Min, whose eyes were slightly red and swollen, and Cui Mo, who had just arrived but occupied his seat.

"Miss, what did I do wrong, you must drive me away?"

Although Meng Min was a little reluctant, when she thought of the deep affection that Red Sleeves had followed her since she was a child, when she thought of the many extra faces in the family now, and when she thought of the unpredictable future, she said ruthlessly: "Red Sleeves, you should get married, you don't have to accompany me for three years." Whether your parents hired them themselves, or who you have a crush on, in short, get married. ”
