The emperor was furious and severely punished a group of leading birds in the Salary Saving Division. Because Zhu Qiming mentioned the empress dowager several times, it was no longer convenient for the emperor to let Feng Duo serve King Yue, so a holy decree came down, and Feng Duo became the eunuch who took the seal of the salary.

The emperor is in a difficult situation both internally and externally, and Zhu Qiming's arrival is tantamount to bringing him a glimmer of light. This cousin, who has been forgotten by him for many years, occasionally made a move, and he relieved him several times, which made the wavering son of heaven give birth to a certain kind of reliance, and the mind that was put aside for a while and a half could not be put back, so the emperor did not want to mention Zhu Qiming's visit to the domain, even if he did not hesitate to face the scene of the officials and the masses for this, anyway, the emperor had a rhetoric: the queen mother entrusted the king of Yue to the care of the queen mother before her death, so the crown princess of Yue must finally get the approval of the queen mother, if the officials are impatient, you may as well express your feelings directly to the queen mother.

As a return, the check that had been delayed for many years was finally cashed, and the rewards before and after were combined, and Zhu Qiming received as much as 200,000 taels of silver, plus several years of age, he is now very rich.

What's more, Zhu Qiming was allowed to return to live in Yuefu!

After worshipping in front of his parents' spiritual seat, Zhu Qiming left the ancestral temple and walked into the Duanli Gate. I saw that both sides of the road were tidy and tidy, but from a distance, the east and west courtyards were deserted.

The Inner Office of the King of Yue has been empty, and a group of officials have found another way out, only a few civil officials such as Ouyang Tong have just returned from Liaodong, and they don't know where they live temporarily. On the inner garden, only Huang An took more than ten attendants, plus two elderly grandmothers to stay behind, and the others were dismissed by Zhu Qiming a few years ago.

The huge Yue Mansion looked deserted, withered palaces, overgrown weeds, and quite desolate as far as the eye could see.

"Your Highness is home!"

"Your Royal Highness, I heard that the emperor allowed you to go back to live in the house, did the guards send you back to the house today?"

On the verandah of decay, Ouyang Tong and Liang Gang greeted them. Zhu Qiming bowed his head at the two of them, did not speak, and slowly swept his gaze towards the unrecognizable mansion.

Liang Gang followed Zhu Qiming's gaze with a gloomy expression, "Your Highness should go to the emperor to ask for an order and ask someone to repair the Yue Mansion." ”

Zhu Qiming smiled indifferently, his expression seemed quite relaxed, his attention was not in Yuefu at all!

"Ouyang Changshi, do you have any unfulfilled wishes in this life?"

Ouyang Tong was stunned when he heard this, and immediately shook his head, "In the next person, the official to the head of the palace, the history of the director, has come to an end, and he only has His Highness's wish in his heart. ”

Zhu Qiming turned his gaze at Liang Gang, "Yun Niang has returned to Beijing, right?" ”

Liang Gang's eyelids drooped, looking a little uncomfortable, "Maybe she ······ Probably······ Maybe I'm back in Beijing. ”

Is it necessary for an upright couple to be so evasive? Zhu Qiming wanted to laugh, "Yun Niang is not an idle woman, most of the expenses of our group of people in the second half of their lives depend on her to take care of it." Commander Liang, you choose a day to resign from the post of commander of the guard army under the pretext of illness, and together with Yun Niang, go to Jiangnan to find a hidden mountain and build a camp. ”

"But······ But I'm not sick in the next place! ”

Hey, you're still addicted to being an official! Zhu Qiming glanced at Liang Gang angrily, thinking that the DPRK and China had long doubts about Liang Gang's appointment as the commander of the Yuefu Guards, as long as Liang Gang opened his resignation, people would definitely be happy to see it, and it didn't matter if you were really sick or pretending to be sick!

Commander Liang just had to resign. Oh, it's not like you went to Jiangnan empty-handed, you brought 200,000 taels of silver. ”

Two hundred thousand taels? Did you hear that right? Over there, Liang Gang's eyes widened, and he looked incredulous.

"With Yun Niang doing scene work, coupled with the scheming of this king, in three or five years, it will not be 200,000 taels, and it is not difficult for us to have a fortune of one million taels or even ten million taels!"

Ten million taels? Liang Gang suddenly fell into a dream. Ouyang Tong's eyelids jumped, and he stretched out his hand to brush his hair, but he was afraid that he would think about it in his heart: Where does King Yue spend so much private wealth? It's not about spending on the big guys! Well, I have to quickly find a half-old to live and give birth to a lot of children, anyway, I will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of my life!

After a while, Ouyang Tong suddenly came to his senses, "Does Your Highness want to raise silver taels for the upcoming war in the north?" ”

"Nope! Whoever should pay for the war has to pay for it, and this king is not in charge of the treasury of the imperial court, so why be poor and generous? Let's spend our money ourselves, and one day this king can't be a prince, so you might as well be like Fan Li back then, and be a rich Tao Zhugong. ”

Ouyang Tong finally understood that a prince had designed his retreat so well in advance, so what kind of thrilling battle should the next battle be! Such speculation can't help but be fascinating.

"Your Highness, Jiang Yi has recovered, but Yu Linwei still let him recuperate at home, and he secretly came to Yuefu to find His Highness." Liang Gang Road.

Zhu Qiming shook his head, "No, Jiang Yi has not recovered, what kind of idle officer is healing?" Hurry up and quit, and go to Jiangnan with you in the future. ”

Hearing this, Ouyang Tong on the side remembered the matter, "Your Highness, senior Luo has sent news, he said that the three surviving disciples have been found, the truth is clear, and everything is as speculated by His Highness!" ”

Zhu Qiming's eyes lit up, and he immediately became safe as usual, "Let them lie dormant and wait for the opportunity." ”

"When will Your Highness do it?"

"No, let's not do it, let's just watch the show?"

"Watching a play?"

Zhu Qiming's expression was indifferent, but his eyes occasionally swept away, his eyes were sharp, and he seemed to have the power to carry wind and thunder and suddenly swayed out. "The power of the internal officials is growing, the Jiuqing is taking refuge, and the confession of cowardice is no longer able to check and balance the internal guards, and now the internal officials have shifted their attention to Xungui, and the contradiction between the prince and the nobles is becoming increasingly intensified. Aren't there a few forbidden mountains on the outskirts of Beijing? The servant of the British Duke was forbidden to go up the mountain to burn charcoal, and the matter was stabbed to the emperor, who was furious, and read that the British Duke was highly meritorious and old, so he was exempted from punishment. And the one who told the emperor was precisely the imperial eunuch Xining! ”

······

Zhu Qiming has mastered the ironclad evidence of the assassination of Cailou in Dengshi that year, but he still can't figure it out: what is the motive of the traitor?

Hongli, who has become a mother, secretly went to Yuefu, mentioned a silk book from Xuande for ten years, and also mentioned a key witness - Xining! Thinking of the fact that the imperial grandmother always looked up to him during her lifetime, the reason for this is that "the little prince is brilliant" as a reason, I am afraid it is not enough to get a reasonable explanation. Perhaps, all the turmoil originated from that mysterious silk book!

On the day before the Queen Mother's Holy Day, he was ordered to enter the palace, first went to Qingning Palace, knelt in front of the gate of Qingning Palace and kowtowed respectfully three times.

"His Royal Highness King Yue!"

Cui Mama, Yin'er, and Qu Qing took the lead to greet them, and Zhu Qiming had no time to look at their surprised faces, and with a slight bow, he walked straight into Qingning Palace.

Most of the furnishings in the inner room remain in their original state. This is no stranger to Zhu Qiming, he took the excuse to support Cui Mama and the others who followed, sat alone by the desk and pondered for a while, calmly got up and went straight to the low cabinet in front of the bed.

When the second drawer was opened, a bunch of yellowed silk books came into view, and when the silk books were opened, they saw that there were sixteen seal characters written on them.

"Where the turtle and snake stay, the Jiangnan Palace, the sage of Tufu, and the life of the people."

Aomatsu Michichi! Zhu Qiming shouted the name of his childhood deceased in his heart, and tears appeared in his eyes.
