Capital. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

After nearly half a month of hard work, Zhu Changluo finally returned to the city where he had lived for more than ten years, for the people of the capital, the return of his Prince Shou has nothing to do with them, but for the bigwigs of the court, it is different, even Zhu Changluo can feel the unpeaceful atmosphere in this ancient capital just by relying on the words that come to the capital these days.

Especially when he learned from some source that his father, who was not very peaceful, had the idea of being grounded immediately after he entered Beijing, he could feel the emotions that were secretly spreading among the courtiers.

Of course, the moment he officially stepped into the capital, it became clear that His Majesty the Emperor's plan was obviously aborted.

Because at the gate of the city, the two teams of high-ranking officials in scarlet robes had been waiting for a long time, although they were not as good as the huge battle he received when he first arrived in Jinling City, but they were not far behind.

Naturally, the old ministers of the cabinet did not come, unless he really became the prince, otherwise a group of old men in the cabinet who couldn't work came out to greet him!

But the lineup of this greeting is also huge, Fan Qian, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Sun Piyang, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, stand at the forefront, and behind them are the six Shangshu squires, and they go down in turn, and the scarlet robe of Yishui is simply dazzling.

And the sequence of Wuchen next to it is a little less meaningful, except for the Fei family, which has a deep relationship with Zhu Changluo, most of the rest are small characters who can't be named, and they are very inconspicuous among a large group of Wenchen.

However, it is also expected, after all, now the military generals are in decline, and the Tiangao emperors in Jinling City are far different, the relatives in the capital all rely on looking at the emperor's face to eat, and Zhu Changluo, a prince who is obviously not treated by the emperor, will naturally not have too many generals to come to greet him.

It's just that it's not important, looking at the large group of high-ranking officials in scarlet robes below, the corners of Zhu Changluo's mouth pulled up a playful smile.

It's a little interesting, it seems that the officials in the capital are indeed not the same as the gang of bastards in Jinling City who eat and wait to die and bask in the sun, is this already moving?

You must know that when an ordinary prince returns to Beijing, at most he can come forward as a waiter of the Ministry of Rites, which is already considered an honor, and considering Zhu Changluo's special status, it is understandable that the Ministry of Rites Shangshu will personally come forward to preside.

But like now, almost all the members of the third rank and above in the DPRK and China are out of the nest, which is a super high-standard courtesy.

Of course, not all of them are here, at least none of the old ministers representing the highest level of civil officials have come, but if they come, hehe, that is the standard for welcoming the prince.

That's not to support Zhu Changluo, but to kill him!

This kind of over-standard greeting standard can still be played in a place like Jinling City, where the emperor is far away, but at the foot of this son of heaven, you dare to greet a prince with the specifications of greeting the prince, it can only mean that the Lord Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites who presided over the greeting does not want to live.

But Rao is so, and the scene is spectacular enough.

Of course, Zhu Changluo would not be naïve to think that he really had such influence among Wenchen, and there was only one situation where such an abnormal phenomenon occurred!

As the most powerful force in the Ming Dynasty, the civil official group is arrogant!

And the one who can provoke these civil officials to express their attitude by such means is except the one in the Qianqing Palace, I am afraid that there is no one else.

Speaking of which, Zhu Changluo had already expected that with his return to Beijing, the matter of the country would definitely start again, but what he didn't expect was that the scene was developing so fast, looking at the current posture, these Wenchen were obviously very unhappy with the emperor!

But this is just right, the prestige of picking up in vain, don't be in vain......

With a large group of officials into the city, first went to worship the ancestral temple, and then after a lot of cumbersome rituals, finally got rid of this group of people, of course, if it was not for the emperor's decree in advance, King Shou did not have to enter the palace to meet him, he had to go to the imperial city again.

Of course, a certain emperor would definitely not be sympathetic to Zhu Changluo's hard work, but simply didn't want to see this son who made him hate.

However, Rao is like this, and by the time Zhu Changluo finished his work, it was already evening.

When I returned to the palace, I had dinner under the service of the sisters, took a comfortable bath, and then came to the study refreshed.

Of course, today's palace is not the small mansion where Zhu Changluo lived when he first left the palace, that mansion was not small in Zhu Changluo's opinion at that time, but compared with the palace in his Ping'an Mansion, it was not an order of magnitude at all.

His current residence is the palace built on the land extorted from Fei Jiajin, although it is still not as good as the one in the Ping'an Mansion, but it is barely used, after all, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, his palace must also comply with the regulations, and it cannot be surpassed in the slightest.

At this moment, in the palace study, there are already people waiting.

Seeing Zhu Changluo walk in, he bowed and saluted.

"Slave and maid, Li Jinzhong, the secretary of the Yuan Bureau, see His Royal Highness!"

Under the bright lamp and candle, Li Jinzhong knelt on the ground with the most humble posture, but Zhu Changluo saw this little chamberlain who was trying to survive for the first time.

Everyone knows that Sun Xian's defeat was because he secretly hid the silver taels because of his own death, but no one knows that in this mighty action to overthrow Sun, the biggest role was actually the humble little servant in front of him, it was he who risked his life to steal the account books from the East Factory, so that Zhu Changluo had first-hand information, and finally won the game.

In exchange, Li Jinzhong was appreciated by Liang Yong, the eunuch of the imperial horse eunuch, and he has risen to prominence, and now he has changed from a little-known small chamberlain to a secretary of the Siyuan Bureau.

You must know that the Siyuan Bureau is one of the twenty-four yamen of the inner court, although it is not too famous, but it is in charge of the purchase of vegetables and fruits in the entire palace, but it is a fat and oily yamen.

Of course, there is an even less well-known layer that has become a nail in Zhu Changluo's wedge in the palace since Li Jinzhong showed his various extraordinary abilities.

Now that Liang Yong's status is getting higher and higher, he has gradually had a posture of keeping pace with several eunuch giants such as Zhang Cheng and Chen Ju, so naturally there are countless pairs of eyes staring at him, and there are many inconveniences between walking, and he wants to pass on the news inside and outside as before, but it is too eye-catching.

So naturally it was replaced by this seemingly inconspicuous Li Jinzhong, after all, he was responsible for the procurement inside and outside the palace, and it was much easier to enter and exit the palace, and a low-level servant like him would not attract attention when he grabbed a lot of money in the palace.

But strictly speaking, this is the first time he and Zhu Changluo have met, and it is also the first time he is responsible for delivering news inside and outside the palace.

Sitting lazily on the chair, Zhu Changluo spoke with interest for a while.

"You're funny, you're a royal slave, not the king's slave......"

One sentence frightened Li Jinzhong, and the cold sweat on his face dripped down.
