Zhu Qiming returned to the side of the case, reread "Zi Xuan Fu", even checked the words with detailed explanations, and finally read through "Zi Xuan Fu".

Lu Xiyu talked and laughed with Yin'er and Qu Qing into the study, Yin'er raised the red thread on her hand and said with a smile: "Your Highness, look, the slave maid has woven the yarn, His Royal Highness takes off the jade pendant, and the slave and maid put it on for you." ”

Did you weave it? Zhu Qiming was suspicious of this, took off the jade pendant from his neck, handed it to Yin'er, turned his eyes to Lu Xiyu, and saw that there was a shyness on her face that could not be concealed, and immediately understood that there was someone else in the weaver of Luozi.

Lu Xiyu's eyes fell on the book "Zi Xuan Fu", ""Zi Xuan Fu" was written in the reign of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, with a strong satirical color, alluding to extravagance, and the idea is not good. Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty advocated frugality, but only a few decades later, extravagance prevailed in the world, which really responded to Sima Guang's words: from thrift to luxury, from luxury to thrift! ”

Zhu Qiming couldn't help but secretly rejoice, fortunately he had just read through "Zi Xufu", otherwise, he would have to show his cowardice in front of Lu Xiyu at this moment!

I heard Lu Xiyu mention Sima Guang again, and after thinking about it carefully, I felt that I still admired Sima Guang's many unique insights very much, and did not completely deny his concept of governing the country.

Although Sima Guang borrowed other people's language in his family essay "Admonishment and Guidance", he disciplined his son Sima Kang so harshly, which shows that he was a noble man. On the other hand, I am a Ming Dynasty, the sons of important ministers in the court have committed crimes one after another, and the root cause is that the important ministers themselves are not right! Hundreds of officials hugged before and after traveling, and it became commonplace for cars and horses to be sparkling, and like Yu Qian, who did not bring an entourage, wore a green shirt, and a thin horse, it became an alternative, and Da Ming Yan could not be humiliated again and again by Wara? ”

"Lord Yu Qian?" Lu Xiyu's eyes lit up, "Do you want me to give a message to Yang Ge Lao?" ”

Yin'er handed the jade pendant with the velop to Zhu Qiming, and then invited Qu Qing to withdraw together.

Zhu Qiming put on the jade pendant and shook his head, "In the eyes of the hundred officials, Yu Qian doesn't seem to be very gregarious, and it's inconvenient for us to say anything, otherwise the consequences are very likely to backfire, so let's say something useful." From thrift to luxury, from luxury to thrift, this is just talking about usefulness, in the final analysis, or Mencius said well, born in sorrow, died in peace! If Yang Ge Lao still can't make up his mind to get rid of the evils of the times, he might as well persuade Mr. Yang Ge to ask Yang Ge Lao to consider an interesting matter: most of the scholars and nobles of the Ming Dynasty are lazy and leisurely, and many leaders of Warat are working hard for the interests of the tribe. ”

"I have to go." Lu Xiyu pondered for a moment, then got up and took his leave.

Looking at the back of Lu Xiyu's departure, Zhu Qiming felt regretful, and talked about a lot of heavy topics, but he was alienated from the fun and poetry of the piano, it would be better to have fewer encounters like this!

After Lu Xiyu left, Zhu Qiming buried himself in reading. After dinner, I overheard the sound of the waiter outside the courtyard gate.

"The emperor has arrived!"

Zhu Qiming walked out of the study quickly and rushed to the gate of the courtyard to greet him.

"Qi Ming, the king of Chenyue, greets the holy driver!"

"Flat." The emperor stood there looking into the distance, surrounded by a large group of guards, chamberlains, and palace maids, and his face did not seem to be very good. "I heard that there was a big commotion in the other courtyard, so I'll come over and take a look."

Zhu Qiming's heart sank, and he glanced at the Jinyi guard in the distance, "Is there really a big movement here in the other courtyard?" ”

The hundred households took the lead, and all the brocade guards shook their heads like rattles.

The emperor glanced at the brocade guard, and his face softened slightly, "I want to go to Qingning Palace to say hello, you go with me." Stared at Zhu Qiming for a moment, and added: "I told you, you have to be careful!" ”

"Your Majesty, the minister has already advised the imperial grandmother." Zhu Qiming said with a smile.

"I'll have to persuade you later!" The emperor commanded with his full breath, the expression on his face was slightly nervous, it was obvious that this loud voice was not aimed at Zhu Qiming, but to give the emperor his own courage.

For the sake of the posterior, I am worried about being unhappy with the Queen Mother, as the Ninth Five-Year Honor, I am afraid that it will be like this, as for it! Zhu Qiming secretly spit out, but he didn't make a sound, just smiled vigorously.

When I came to Qingning Palace, I saw the Empress Dowager sitting there, her face haggard, but her spirit was good, obviously Mama Cui had spoken, so she must have a sense of expectation in her heart.

There was another person sitting in the hall, but it was the Queen Mother. At this moment, the Queen Mother lowered her eyebrows and lowered her head, her face was not very good, and most of her face had just been reprimanded by the Queen Mother.

The two monarchs and ministers saluted one after another, and the empress dowager beckoned the emperor to sit beside her. The Empress Dowager over there wanted to beckon Zhu Qiming to sit next to her, but she suddenly heard the Empress Dowager command: "Qi Ming, you will stand beside the Empress Dowager." ”

Zhu Qiming bowed to the Empress Dowager, and then slowly walked to the Empress Dowager's side and stood still. Look at the three most prominent lords in the palace gathered together, in this place, of course, they can only stand, as soon as they think of this, their hearts will be relieved.

Thinking of a prince of his own, although he lives in a separate courtyard, he is not confined to the Zongren Mansion, and the matter has not yet reached the point of irreparability, the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager do not have to break the ban in the palace and intervene in the government affairs, therefore, their minds are obviously not on a prince who has suffered a little "small grievance", and their interest must be in the vital affairs of the Middle Palace!

He pondered for a moment, and thoroughly figured out the key to the matter.

The Empress Dowager has the legal authorization given by the edict of the first emperor, and her identity is very special, if the spirit is not declining, for the establishment of the queen of the middle palace, her words are naturally the heaviest, and the emperor and the queen mother cannot but listen. If she is mentally weakened, then it is a different matter, what if the old eyes are dizzy and blind? It's not child's play! At this time, of course, others can't openly contradict her, but she can be persuaded to stay out of the matter, this is not disrespectful to the Queen Mother, but a last resort, at least on the surface. As for whether the Queen Mother took advantage of this to carry private goods, that is another matter.

From the emperor's point of view, he is young after all, and he has no personal feelings about the disasters caused by the impropriety of the middle palace, and he must be willing to listen to the suggestions of those who have come over, anyway, the Zhou family and the Qin family are good, rather than believing in the mentally weakened queen mother, it is better to believe in the energetic queen mother!

The key here is whether the Empress Dowager is really insane and dizzy!

It's a pity that intuitively from the outside, the Empress Dowager really seems to be delirious and dizzy.

The Empress Dowager was half-open, her face and posture seemed to be frozen, and it took a long time before she muttered: "Emperor, the assistant minister has just written to the emperor's grandmother, saying that someone cheated on the draft." The imperial grandmother remembered that she had sent an edict to Hu Hu and others last year, but until now, the imperial grandmother has only read the Qian family in person, why is this? ”

Yang Ge Lao put it into action so quickly? Zhu Qiming suddenly felt that the show had already begun, and it was up to the Empress Dowager to prove that she was not mentally depleted with practical actions!

The queen mother over there was shocked, and the emperor was stunned there, and after a long time, he swept his eyes at Zhu Qiming.

Zhu Qiming approached the Empress Dowager's ear, bent very low, and accidentally slipped out of the jade pendant, and he didn't bother to put the jade pendant in the collar, but let it hang outside.

"Grandmother Huang, the affairs of the harem are taken care of by the Queen Mother, and the affairs of the previous dynasty are decided by the emperor. Relax and recuperate. ”

The queen mother nodded with a smile, and the emperor glanced at Zhu Qiming deeply and breathed a long sigh of relief.

The Empress Dowager reacted slightly, trembling and stretching out her hand, groping for the crutches close to the side of the chair, obviously wanting to use her crutches kung fu on Zhu Qiming. It's a pity that she was weak after all, and accidentally knocked the crutches to the ground, which further confirmed the emperor's speculation that she was mentally weak.

Alas, alas!

"Imperial grandmother, the third brother is right, you can take care of your old age. I also blame my grandson for being negligent, just sending the doctor to come over to show you how the body can work? Tomorrow, the grandson will order the imperial doctor to enter the Qingning Palace to ask for a pulse. ”

The Queen Mother smiled lightly, "That's how it should be!" The Empress Dowager is inconvenient to live in, and the things used must be specially made, and she asked the emperor to order her to go down. ”

Am I an old foolish piece of waste! The Empress Dowager was naturally very angry, struggling for a long time, and finally set her eyes on Zhu Qiming, as if she wanted to sprinkle her resentment on Zhu Qiming, but suddenly her eyes were open, and she barely opened her eyes for a long time, and said something that surprised everyone.

"Eh, Qi Ming, the veil on your chest is chic, who knitted it?"

The Empress Dowager can see that the yarn is very chic, which shows that she is not old and dizzy, and action is the most powerful language. Zhu Qiming was happy in his heart, but he smiled and did not answer.

The emperor was stunned with his eyes open, and a trace of worry appeared on the queen mother's face.

At this moment, Immortal Master Jingci led the Qin clan in, and Cui Mama, who was behind them, had sharp eyes, hurriedly glanced at the hall, and shrewdly dodged away.

"Concubine Hu respectfully invites the Empress Dowager Sheng'an."

"Lady Qin's respectfully invites the Empress Dowager Sheng'an."

As soon as the emperor saw the Qin family, he stood up straight, looked at her infatuatedly, his eyes rolled, as if he was thinking and regretting.

The Queen Mother over there also stood up, watching all this nervously, and couldn't make a sound.

"Still a lady today? Well, it looks like it's polite, and you come here. ”

After the Qin clan saluted the rest of the hall one by one, the Empress Dowager beckoned the Qin clan to come closer, and tried her best to look at her carefully with wide eyes.

Jingci Immortal Master approached and said, "Empress Dowager, she is the niece of the concubine. ”

The Empress Dowager looked at the Qin family motionless for a long time, and time seemed to stop at this moment.

"Such a good person, and the niece of the older generation in the palace, is still a lady?" Suddenly, the Empress Dowager broke out, and she didn't know where the strength came from, she slapped the chair handle with both hands, "She is a lady, and the surviving people want to see what kind of fairy the others are!" The assistant minister is right, there is really something greasy in this! That's it, the surviving people would rather go to see Emperor Renzong tonight than see the world laugh at the lack of dignity in the Forbidden City! ”
