After hearing what his family had said, Chen Zizhuang angrily threw away the brush in his hand, stood up and scolded loudly: "It's too much!" In the past, the factory guards were rampant, but now why do the palace guards take people directly without passing through the Yamen? ”

Can't blame Old Man Chen for being angry, Old Man Chen is deeply educated by Confucianism, adhering to the rule of man, that is, Old Man Chen thinks that as long as the moral level of officials in the country comes up, it will naturally be honest and honest, and the mobile phone is the most traffic-saving, ad-free site. But Emperor Zhu Hongsan didn't think so, Zhu Hongsan thought that these stinky old nine were all cheap bones, and they must be severely punished and managed by the law, so Zhu Hongsan hopes to build a country ruled by law. Zhu Hongsan's spirit of the rule of law is still shared by some people in the cabinet, such as Ma Mingyuan, Tong Yangjia, and Fu Wenlong, who are representatives of the Legalists.

Although the cabinet is not unified in ideology, it is consistent in restricting the rights of factory guards, after all, Ma Mingyuan believes in Legalism, and he does not want to get up one day and be arrested and imprisoned by Jinyiwei for no reason. Therefore, the power of the Shenwu Dynasty factory guards was greatly reduced under the joint suppression of several cabinet elders. But today Chen Zizhuang heard that even the palace guards had the right to arrest people, which really made Chen Zizhuang unacceptable. And it is no one else who is arrested, but also a representative of the new generation of scholars that Chen Zizhuang is optimistic about. Although Qian Qianyi and Chen Zizhuang's Cantonese faction has been completely broken, Chen Zizhuang still likes Qian Sunai very much.

Now that he heard that Qian Sun Ai had something to do, Old Man Chen didn't care about the affairs of the cabinet, went out of the door, got on his shoulder, and ran to the palace.

The Cabinet's office is located in the thousand-step corridor between Hongwumen and Fengtianmen, where various state organs are gathered. The Qianbu Corridor is the office of the central government organs, mainly the office of the Cabinet, the Sixth Ministry, the Governor's Office of the Five Armies and the Jinyi Guard. The office is based on the pattern of Wendong and Wuxi, with civil officials in the East Thousand Steps Corridor and military attaches in the West Thousand Steps Corridor. As the center, the cabinet is naturally the first house in the East Thousand Steps Corridor, but here it is exactly a thousand steps away from Fengtianmen, and the straight-line distance is six or seven hundred meters.

The shoulder chariot is said to be magnificent, but it is actually a chair, wearing two bamboo poles, and then carried by two strong eunuchs. However, this thing looks ridiculous, but among the hundreds of civil officials working in the Qianbu Corridor, only Chen Zizhuang has this kind of honor, so it is very awesome.

Chen Zizhuang walked out of the cabinet, went to the shoulder at the door, and said to the eunuch: "Enter the palace and go to the Wenhua Hall to face the saint!" Then he set off under the envious and jealous eyes of all the civil officials, although this kind of thing was very uncomfortable to sit on, but Old Man Chen's vanity was greatly satisfied. People are like this, you and I have nothing to boast about, but I have you and I don't show my identity. Even the Chen family, although he did not sit on his shoulders, saw that his master and other officials traveled differently, and he felt that he was superior to other family members.

After entering the Fengtian Gate, it is also entering the palace city, and the Chen family here cannot enter. Other civil and military officials who wanted to meet the emperor had to dismount and walk on foot when they arrived here, but Chen Zizhuang had the imperial gift and carried him directly from the Fengtian Gate into the palace.

When Old Man Chen came to the outside of the Wenhua Palace, he lowered his shoulders, and just saw Qian Sunai standing outside the main hall, Old Man Chen was stunned, didn't he say that Qian Sunai was arrested? How did you get here?

Old Man Chen stepped forward and asked, "Zigao, weren't you arrested by the guards?" Why did you get here? ”

Qian Sunai was waiting outside the main hall and was bored, but Zhu Luo just asked him to wait at the door, and didn't say when he would let him in, so Qian Sunai was looking at the sky here. At this moment, he heard someone on the side beckoning him, and hurriedly looked at the person on the other side, isn't this his uncle, Shoufu Chen Zizhuang?

As soon as Qian Sunai saw Chen Zizhuang coming, he knew that it was his wife who ran to her mother's house to ask for help, and she was grateful, so she hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

"Uncle, I didn't expect to alarm your old man!"

Chen Zizhuang looked at Qian Sunai's clothes and what injuries he had suffered, and he also let go of his heart, and was just about to ask what was going on, when the little eunuch on the side shouted loudly: "The concubine has arrived!" ”

Now the highest status in Zhu Hongsan's harem is the imperial concubine Ma Ruyan, and the next is the concubine Qian Yuting, that is, Qian Qianyi's daughter. However, although Ma Ruyan is an imperial concubine, her background is much lower than that of Qian Yuting, and Qian Yuting has a golden book canonized by Emperor Hongguang, so in the eyes of some orthodox scholars such as Chen Zizhuang, Qian Yuting's status is higher than that of Ma Ruyan. When Chen Zizhuang proposed Qian Yuting to be the queen, it was not all about uniting with Qian Qianyi, and her background was also very important.

When Chen Zizhuang heard that the concubine was coming, he hurriedly sorted out his clothes, and forgot to ask Qian Sunai why he was here, so he hurried to greet the concubine.

Qian Yuting had already been diagnosed as pregnant when Zhu Hong left Guangdong in September and had been more than five months now. Now this sanitary condition is not the next generation, Zhu Hongsan was afraid that Qian Yuting would have some mistakes, and ordered her not to move if she had nothing to do, and to concentrate on raising the fetus. Today, Qian Yuting had nothing to do, and was teasing her eldest daughter Zhu Miao to play, and the little eunuch in the palace said that Mrs. Qian asked to see her outside the door.

Qian Yuting was stunned when she heard that Liu Ru was coming, they thought that their father's concubine could come to find her. Back then, his father Qian Qianyi ignored the etiquette and accepted Liu Ruis with the etiquette of the main room, which caused the Qian family to lose its reputation in Changshu's hometown, and his mother Chen cried many times, so Qian Yuting hated this Liu Ruis very much in her heart.

And Liu Ru also knew that Qian Yuting didn't want to see her, and she usually didn't have much contact with Liu Ru Shi, and when she entered the palace, she only went to visit her good sister Bian Yujing, and Qian Yuting basically didn't come here. But why are you here today? Qian Yuting originally wanted not to see her, but she knew that her father was not at home now, and she was afraid that something important would happen to her family in Nanjing.

Qian Yuting thought about it for a while, let's meet and let the little eunuch lead Liu Ru into the palace.

Liu Ru went out today and still wore men's clothes, and Liu Ru is face is full of heroism, which is very fascinating. Seeing Liu Ru is dress, although Qian Yuting hated his dress, she had to admit that this Liu Ru really knew how to wear clothes. A set of men's clothes is worn on his body, and Qian Yuting, who is a woman, is in love with her, not to mention those stinky men.

Qian Yuting hugged Zhu Miao, who had just turned three, and asked coldly: "Why is Mrs. Liu interested in coming to the palace today, is there anything wrong?" ”

Liu Ru heard Qian Yuting call herself Mrs. Liu, and knew that this girl was still angry about the old things, but there was no way.

Liu Ru bowed deeply with a man's etiquette and said: "Guifei Niangniang, the women are here to ask for help today, and as soon as the second prince came back this morning, he was arrested by a group of palace guards. The old man is not at home, and the women have no choice but to enter the palace and ask the concubine for help! ”

Liu Ru is words scared Qian Yuting enough, the Qian family now has three men, the eldest brother Qian Yu loves Mu Ne honestly, and he is much older than Qian Yuting, and the third brother is Liu Ruyi's son, who only turned five years old this year. Only the second brother Qian Sunai and Qian Yuting are of the same age, Qian Yuting was very good with this younger brother in the boudoir back then, plus Qian Sunai is eccentric, and she usually has nothing to tell her sister a joke or something, so the relationship between sister and brother is very good. Now that Qian Yuting heard that her most valued brother was taken away, she couldn't help but feel disturbed.

"What, Erlang was taken away? Who is so bold that the younger brother of this palace dares to arrest it? Is it Jinyiwei or Dongchang? ”

"Guifei Niangniang, no, they said that they were the palace guards, and they were ordered by His Majesty to arrest the second young master, and the women had no choice but to come and ask the concubine!"

Qian Yuting was stunned when she heard that it was the palace guard, she is not the little girl who did nothing more than she did back then, red bricks, green tiles and black gutters, there is no darker place in this world than the palace, if it is Dongchang Jinyi Guard, it is better to say, probably Erlang committed some kind of lawsuit, but now she is a palace guard, which makes Qian Yuting confused, who wants to arrest her brother? Could it be the imperial concubine?

Qian Yuting thought it was impossible, although Ma Ruyan was domineering now, she and her well water did not violate the river water, and she usually had no grudges, she couldn't reach out to clean up her brother, so who was it?

Liu Ru saw that after she finished speaking, Qian Yuting was stunned and didn't speak, Liu Ru shouted anxiously: "My concubine Niangniang, what are you still doing in a daze, go find the emperor!" ”

Liu Ru reminded Qian Yuting of this sentence, yes! Anyway, as long as the emperor speaks, it's not a big deal! After thinking about it, Qian Yuting hurriedly ordered someone to prepare for Luan and went to the Wenhua Hall to face the saint.

Qian Yuting came to Wenhua Hall with a five-month-old belly, and happened to see Chen Zizhuang and Qian Sunai at the door.

Qian Yuting saw that Qian Sunai had nothing to do, so she put her mind at ease, as long as Erlang was fine.

Chen Zizhuang saluted Qian Yuting on the side and asked, "Guifei Niangniang, why are you here!" ”

Qian Yuting glared at Qian Sunai and said, "It's not for someone, the palace rushed here when he got the news, Erlang, tell me what's going on?" ”

Chen Zizhuang also asked on the side: "Yes! Zigao, tell me what's going on? Why did the palace guards come to arrest you? If it is really the emperor's order, the old man must ask for justice! ”

Qian Sunai saw his sister and uncle forcing him to tell the truth, and he couldn't help but feel angry, how can he say this? I didn't confess to Zhu Luo just now, but now Chen Zizhuang and his sister are not easy to fool, if they don't get it right, everything will be wasted.
